Kamikaze is actually Japanese for \'divine wind\', and the first \"kamikaze\" was a storm that destroyed a Mongol fleet that was about to invade Japan. So the first kamikaze was not associated with evil.
Unfortunately, the Japanese in world war 2 called their suicide pilots \"kamikazes.\" That twisted the term \'divine wind\' into something that many perceive as meaning \'someone on a suicide mission.\'
I think the older meaninng is a better description of what the Xperto kamikazes are intended to do, but there is also a hint of the newer one in our name. We help defend against evil, but we are expected to give our lives for the guild if it is neccessary.
