ArchivesWhat does 'Zanretsu' mean
I USED to know what my last name meant, but I can't remember. I think it's maculine Japanese, but I have no idea.
What I originally got it from was a Video Game; Xenogears. It's the name of an attack. I looked it up a long time ago, but I can't remember where from.

According to several websites for the video game King of Fighters, the phrase Zanretsu Ken translates to "Momentary Violence Fist".
(for example, http://mai.rinoa.nu/kof/faqs/98takuma.txt)
The Japanese translation software I use does not list "ken" as meaning either momentary, violence, or fist. The closest translation I saw was "sword". However, Japanese games are notorious for having terrible English translations when they are brought to North America.
