Sure, yeah, but keep in mind the author is Japanese and would have a different naming sense than us. I mean, sure, I considered suggesting other stuff that used 岩's meaning as cliff or boulder. Try to find something that would sound nice while meaning the same thing and making sense. But then I remembered something about the Rock Hero (and he's called the Rock Hero, so) being able to create rock iron or something? I'm not sure if I misremembered that. 鉄 is also used to figuratively describe something as being extremely strong. So if you feel like brainstorming, hey, there's an avenue to pursue there.

Well, that is what I said.

What was the reasoning of your friend there for translating it as Darkness, Caudyr? Since it omits 守's meaning, I find it strange.

It's different for me. Fortified Wood has the wood being described here. The wood is tough. Wood Bulwark and its derivatives, however, would mean that the wood is providing the protection. The meaning is changed here because the order is switched around. The bulwark, the fortifications, are not for the wood.

On 英勇の複製品: Yes, I remember posting about that back in the summary thread I made for that update.

I'm the guy who said Great Hero wasn't an appropriate translation for 英雄, since it sets itself above 勇者. So yeah, you remember at that point. The argument I made to translate it as Champion was simply that it was the closest translation I can think of that embodies the image of the hero who is simultaneously the head of an army and the strongest one in it.
