The translation for the individual characters of the Wrath of Heaven is:
- Rin - Confront
- Pyo - Soldier
- Tho - Battle/Fight
- Sha - One/Person
- Kai - Everybody/Entire
- Jin - Formation
- Retsu - Row
- Zai - Presence
- Zen - Forward
- These definitions are merely direct translations and do not represent the true meaning of the "Seal of 9 Characters". The 9 Kanji characters do not have independent definitions. The spell only makes sense when you hear the full sentence as follows: "Nozomeru Hei, tatakau mono, kaijin wo hari, retsu wo tukutte, mae ni ari" Which Means: "Confronting Soldiers, Ones that battle, everybody making a formation, making a row, and is present in front". So in other words, the spell is a warning to the evil spirits that the army of God is nearing, so leave immediately.
