I feel like that'd be relevent if Ripple was a Japanese martial art. It originated from Tibet, so technically speaking it should have a Tibetan name. A Japanese name like Zanpakuto matches cause anything associated with Soul Reapers are represented in a Japanese fashion, but claiming that a Tibetan martial art should retain a Japanese name makes no sense at all. It's obvious Araki did not have that naming convention in mind, especially when all it's users are anything but asian.
