Aku

[Dr.Weird]

Have you ever noticed how Suzaku of Yu Yu Hakusho and Naraku of Inu Yasha both have "aku" in their names? From seeing Samurai Jack, I know that aku means evil. Now to find out what the other words mean. I don't know. Does anyone know?

[The Man in Black]

'aku' in yu yu h'aku'sho

Naraku literally means 'Hell' in Japanese.

[Cyporiean]

AKUMA means Devil. (And thats the name of the dude in Jack)

Suzaku is the legendary Chinese Phionex God (All of the Saint Beasts are named after the Four Gods)

Thanks for the definitions, I guess you guys already noticed that before I did.

Someone mentioned this already in the review thread, but I guess I'll mention it here:

Aku = A-KU (two different characters) in kana

Naraku = NA-RA-KU (three characters; the only similarity to aku being the "ku" at the end)

Suzaku = SU-ZA-KU (same as above)

The three words are actually spelled completely differently so it's only a coincidence that they happen to have "aku" in them when spelled in English letters.
