Stage 4 Title

Regarding the title translation of Stage 4, I don't think "Karmic Wind of Ten Thousand Sufferings" is good. 万 of 万苦の業風 doesn't refer to an actual number, but refers to its numerousness, just like words such as 万屋, 万病, or 万里. So I'd like to suggest replacing "Ten Thousand" with "Myriad" or something. Let me hear your opinions. --Tackmyn (talk) 14:10, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

In my opinion, both sound right, but sure, we can substitute the very accurate numerical value of "ten thousand" with something more vague, like the word "myriad" or just "thousands" Yamaxandu (talk) 17:35, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for your answer. Then for now, I will replace "ten thousand" with "myriad," since this sounds more literary and somewhat old-fashioned, which I think is completely suitable as the translation of "万苦". --Tackmyn (talk) 01:48, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
