I'll go down the line and respond in turn to everything. First, Fumetsu and whatnot.



Axe Destruction, Axe Destroyer, and whatnot sound absolutely awful to me, though.

In the case of Fumetsu and Housei - they suit those two, yeah. The others...are a stretch, but this author  loves  to make cryptic references like that...so you can't really discount him doing crap like that...and it actually makes the way he came up with the title names make some sense.



As for Fumetsu itself...it also suits him because, on top of the On reading, the kanji for "Fumetsu" itself means "Undying/Immortal"...and this rank up granted him insane vitality.



I'm not really opposed to leaving it the way it was...but...Axe Destruction and Axe Destroyer sound like ass to me, heh. I really wanted titles that didn't sound absolutely ludicrous, and also made some sense.



The first two kanji for kichi's title (that make up Fumetsu) are also used in a later entry for one of the verses...for "Fumetsu's Hooves" or "Hooves of the Destructive Axe" (that's what it currently is) or whatever. Axe Destroyer does sound nice in that context...

Axe Destroyer makes him seem like someone that DESTROYS axes, which is why I originally left it alone as Destructive Axe. If it's meant to be a pun and it should be translated afterwards, it could also be Undying Great Emperor. Unfortunately, that loses the axe bit, so...yeah...it's impossible to say without asking the author how he came up with the titles.



...which I may do. XD
