ブレイドアンドソウル
  • ブレイド - Espada
  • アンド - And is
  • ソウル - Soul
The name of the anime "ブレイドアンドソウル" can be translated as "Sword and Soul". This expression reflects the duality of the protagonist's journey, Alka, as she navigates between her life as an assassin and the lessons learned from her master. The "sword" symbolizes her skill as a warrior and her physical struggles, while the "soul" represents her inner motivations, dilemmas and search for redemption as she confronts her past and the need to leave the life of murder behind. The interaction with other warriors also emphasizes the relationship between strength and spirituality, which is central to the narrative.
