Jin's Gekka Hyourou:

I personally use "under the moon" so I can avoid mixing it up with the terms "tsuikage/getsu'ei" (lit. moon shadow) or "gekkou" (lit. moon light) for Moonlight. Also, "under the moon" seems to add even more irony towards Jin's dislike of the moon.

Note: Since typing overlines are too hard for me, I always use extended romaji vowels in my own text.

There will be more personal takes on translations on the way but overall sorry about that.

Reppuu and Shippuu

The issues with these is that both often translate to gale, but in Shippuu's case, it overlaps with "hayate" (lit. fast hand/rapid wind depending on the kanji). I personally use "reppuu" (violent wind; such as the Reppuu in Reppuuken) for gale in that context, though I do agree that Shippuu isn't a viable way to say "hurricane" in comparison.

Bang's attacks that have the kanji for ultimate are rendered wrong. It's "Kyuukyoku", not "Kyuukyou". https://kakuge.com/wiki/pages/%E7%8D%85%E5%AD%90%E7%A5%9E%E5%BF%8D%E6%B3%95%E3%83%BB%E7%A9%B6%E6%A5%B5%E5%A5%A5%E7%BE%A9%E3%80%8C%E8%90%AC%E9%A7%86%E9%A2%A8%E6%9E%97%E7%81%AB%E5%B1%B1%E3%80%8D%E6%94%B9 This furigana reading proves it. Also, how would you say "violent"? Retsu (烈) or geki (激)? That's basically a bit confusing to say the least.

Jin's airborne Hishouken and Hishougeki DO NOT have the kanji for "Kuuki" (atomsphere) in their Japanese names, which makes the "Kuuchuu" (midair) romaji incorrect.

Flower

I personally don't like to use 華 for flower (it mainly can translate to luster/blossom and/or flower) as opposed to 花 (the former has more different contexts behind it).

For Bang's Exceed Accel, the "kyoku" in the Japanese name literally means "extreme" or "polar" (such as in Bajiquan/Hakkyokuken), as the aforementioned geki is more about "raging/intice/excite/intense".

Hizanshou (Hibiki)

There's no soar kanji (翔, kakeru/shou) in the move, so Soaring Slash tbh makes no sense. It also has the pierce/collide kanji (衝) in it instead.

Kokuu

虚空 This kanji basically is translated as "empty air/space". 空 is usually "void", "sky", "emptiness" or "air" in that context, though only 虚 is usually "hollow", "void", "cavity" or "hole". I personally deem it to make more sense for 虚空 to translate to "empty air" instead of "void".

Note: 空 (kara) is where the term "kara-throws" comes from; I personally dub those as "void-throws" in that context.

Also, Jin's description for Midair Hishougeki is a bit out-of-line compared to the rest of the descriptions.

Spear or lance

I personally would use spear for 槍, since it ties into the more traditional Chinese spear with the tassel. 矛 is my personal go-to for lance, especially for a lance-like pike.

Sharp

I personally prefer 鋭 to translate into sharp (via Sasuke Uchiha's Chidori Eisou), as the context for 尖 refers more to a pointed-tip as opposed to being overall sharp.

Roar

咆, 哮 or 轟

One of them is either roar or howl, but the very latter is more of a context of "resounding/thundering". For the latter, I mainly use "boom" to refer to the latter context of "thundering", as in "booming thunder", hence the "booming" translation for Terumi's Gouga Soutenjin. This is so it's not mixed up with the "roar in your face" type of "roar" (mainly 哮 or 吼).
