Halo. Its divine wind will rush through the stars, propelling all who are worthy along the path to salvation.
Of course, 'divine wind' is a literal translation of 'Kamikaze' (see below).

In the Japanese language, kamikaze (IPA: [kamikaze]) (Japanese:??), usually translated as "divine wind" (kami is the word for "god", "spirit", or "divinity"; and kaze for "wind"), came into being as the name of a legendary typhoon said to have saved Japan from a Mongol invasion fleet in 1281.
In the interests of a fair and thorough investigation - and in keeping him quiet - here it is for all to see.
