Trivia

The skill's name in Japanese references Fūjin, the Japanese god of wind and one of the eldest gods in Shinto mythology. He is often depicted together with Raijin, the god of lightning and thunder. In the English version of Dragon Quest Tact, the skill is named after Aeolus, the ruler of the winds in Greek mythology. He is sometimes interpreted as a god by classical writers.
