What Japanese subtitle did Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade use?

The Japanese subtitle of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade is Rekka no Ken.

Written in Japanese as 烈火の剣, Rekka no Ken can be rendered literally as “The Sword of Flame” and is officially associated in English materials with “The Blazing Blade.” In Japan, the full title identifies the game as Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, while the original Western release was simply titled Fire Emblem.

The game launched for Game Boy Advance in 2003 and follows Lyn, Eliwood, and Hector on the continent of Elibe. It is a prequel to The Binding Blade, whose Japanese title is Fūin no Tsurugi. That relationship creates a common source of confusion: Rekka no Ken is the Japanese subtitle of the prequel, not the title of The Binding Blade. Monshō no Nazo and Seisen no Keifu belong to other Fire Emblem games.
