Translate Japanese? (Zantetsuken)

Well, I want someone who can actually read these Japanese/Chinese characters. I have searched the Net and seen quite a few "translations" of what these mean...Giant Slice Sword, Steel Slice Sword and more. So, I'd like if someone can help me with this?

Now, also, what do the characters read for Seifer?

If the actual videos would be better, here they are.

YouTube - Seifer vs. Odin

Someone told me that Odin's characters spell out 'Zantetsuken', which is 'iron cutting sword' or 'steel-bladed sword' or whatever. The precise translation is less important than the general gist of it.

For Seifer, it says 'Zantetsuken Reverse' or somesuch.

斬鉄剣 (Zantetsuken):

• 斬 (zan) means "cutting" or "beheading"
• 鉄 (tetsu) means "iron"
• 剣 (ken) means "sword"

斬鉄剣 返し (Zantetsuken Kaeshi) does mean "Reverse Zantetsuken" or "Counter Zantetsuken," I think.

Thank you. I just wanted to make sure.

According to the online translators I used, hardly an infallible source I know, 返し = "Return".

It seems so obvious now o_o

Okay then. I got the FFVIII Ultimania and if anyone here can translate Japanese and would be willingto translate, please reply or PM me.

It's Japanese for pwned.
