Ever wonder why Orca is called "Orca of the Azure Sea"?
Its because Orca is another term for a killer whale.
Makes sense,dont it?
... and Balmung has wings so THAT must be why his name is Balmung of the Azure Sky, or, Balmung of the Heavens to those of us who prefer the more "heavenly" translation of Souten. :roll:

On the other hand, Balmung and Orca's names could be plays on Japanese. "Souten's Balmung" - prehaps his player's name is Souten? Although... damn. That sounds pretty femme both in Japanese and English... then Orca, who's real life name is Yasuhiko IF you were paying attention, made a nickname to match Balmung's. Viola!
and god said unto cain, "wow you're pretty stupid."

... and all this time I thought Yasuhiko named his character after the boat in Jaws. :roll:
