There are multiple levels of cultural borrowing here, as Honkai is a Chinese game heavily borrowing Japanese ACG aesthetics (so the target audience is mostly not Japanese, but rather Chinese and other foreigners who like that look).
And just like the blue robin, the name "Honkai" is not exactly Japanese: 崩壊 would be transliterated "houkai"; the "n" might be an attempt to make it more similar to the Chinese pronunciation "bēnghuài".
- Freak_NL 2y agoAh indeed. I thought both games mentioned where Japanese; only the latter example (Fate/Grand Order) is.
