Thanks! Do you know what it means? An internet translation program gives me "firmament" or "heaven" for the word "oozora" and "close," "near" or "oath" for the word "chikai."

I wonder if it means something like "near the sky," or "oath to the heavens."

The translation would depend entirely on what characters were used... I'm leaning towards 'near the sky' myself, but given it has the honorific 'O' in front of 'zora' it could also mean 'close to heaven'... *sigh*

I'm afraid I am definitely a Gatch second opening girl - nothing stirs my blood quite like hearing that opening line of 'Dareda, dareda, dareda'....

Thanks! Further evidence of the limitations of internet translation programs. Are there any characters here that clarify it, just out of curiousity?

No, nothing - just that no one has commented on it yet....

What I would need is the character used for 'chikai' to be able to tell you if it means near or oath...

Actually, just googled it (I love google, don't you?) and it came up as 'vow in the sky' (with the right kanji for oath).

So many possibilities.... but I think, even with all of those, e can understand the meaning intended!

I can see how "Vow in the sky" fits. So often, we see our Ninjas -along with a gorgeous sunset- vowing to continue to fight on, even though Katse has, once again, escaped.
