Yuugiroku means "record of games";
Reimeiroku means "record of dawn".

Hekketsuroku literally means "Record of Blood Jasper", but its

That's really interesting! Who would imagine that Hekketsuroku had that meaning...

BTW I've seen some spoilers of Toki no Kizuna and (not gonna say who exactly in case you don't want to be spoiled) but one of the characters comes from the Yukimura clan*^*

I wish they make a 2nd season of Reimeiroku and an anime about Toki no Kizuna

Thanks for sharing always such an interesting information^^

Uh I noticed that the titles end all with the kanji 録 (*O*) But in fact Hekketsuroku is more difficult to understand respect the other ones which are easier to get the their sense XD *or maybe not...*
Anyway, the origin of the 2nd season's title is really interesting! Thank you for the precious details ^^

Thanks!

Wow you're really knowledgeable! Thanks for sharing all these bits with us! Being a history fetish myself, I'm ever keen on reading up and exploring more about the past - and this is no doubt JAPAN's history! Love it! (^3^)
