  7.  
  8. >3. 墨淵玄離
  9. Abyssal Phantasmagorical Disappearance
  10. Literal translation would be "ink deep mystery leaving", which is nonsensical. Also, there's like a multi layer reference in this shit.
  11. (1) 墨淵 and 玄離 are apparently the names of some other wuxia works. 玄離 in particular is a character from another Pili puppet show.
  12. (2) Gen Urobuchi's name is 虚淵 玄, so he basically snuck (part of) his name into the sword.

  39. Hundred Generations of Kunwu
  40. Welp, time for more references. Kun Wu is supposedly a famed blacksmith (whether he's a real historical figure, or just a legend, or mix of both, that's still up to debates). Kun Wu's weapons thus are supposed to be top tier stuff.

  44.  
  45. > 13. 須彌天幻・劫荒劍
  46. Illusory Skies of Meru・Plundering the Abandoned Sword
  47. 須彌 refers to Mt Meru. According to wikipedia, it is a sacred mountain with five peaks in Hindu, Jain and Buddhist cosmology and is considered to be the centre of all the physical, metaphysical and spiritual universes.
  48. To add to that, in buddhism there's a phrase/concept of "納須彌於芥子", or "containing mountain Meru in a speck of dust". Considering the theme of the sword is space-time manipulation, it's oddly fitting.
