    Default I've Always Wondered, What does "Ran no" mean?

    I know Jidai means Age or Period, as in "an age of total war."
    But what does Ran No mean?

    'no' = 'of' more or less
    'Ran' = 'War'

    So basically it means 'Age of Strife.' I've think people have complained aobut hte name being backwards or something.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    Hence the "Jidai no Ran" sig, I'd say it's probably wrong. "State of War" is more like it.

    Ran no Jidai means, era or age of war.
