Of the seven dances covered on this hub, 灼骨炎陽 is the only one built entirely from body-harm vocabulary rather than sky or light imagery — 骨 (bone) doesn't belong to the same poetic register as 碧羅 ("blue-green silk gauze") or 幻日虹 ("phantom sun rainbow"). Where most of Hinokami Kagura's naming pattern describes what the sky looks like during the strike, 灼骨炎陽 describes what the strike does to what it hits: scorches to the bone. VIZ's "BURNING BONES, SUMMER SUN!" preserves that literalness almost kanji-for-kanji, which is unusual restraint given how freely the translation compresses or reorders elsewhere in this style (compare 烈日紅鏡, rendered as the truncated "RAGING SUN!" on this hub). The fact that VIZ chose to keep all four characters here, comma and all, suggests the translators read 灼骨炎陽 as functioning almost onomatopoeically — a two-beat, two-image battle cry rather than a single compressible idea — and preserved that rhythm rather than smoothing it into something shorter.

The corpus's earliest occurrence of this dance (Vol. 10, p.042) is also the messiest piece of OCR in this entry's citation trail, worth flagging directly: the underlying database's raw jp field reads as pure nonsense syllables, 'しゃったっけぇんはぁ,' rather than legible kanji, even though its paired English text is the clean, correct 'BURNING BONES, SUMMER SUN!' This isn't a page-alignment problem of the kind that affects several other Hinokami Kagura citations on this hub — the JP/EN pairing on that page is a straightforward 1:1 match — it's an OCR failure specific to that one panel, most likely because 灼骨炎陽's four kanji are rendered in a heavily distorted, jagged action-SFX font at that particular moment in the fight (a common manga technique for conveying intensity), which garbled automated character recognition into gibberish syllables that happen to vaguely echo the sound of a scream. The technique's later, cleanly OCR'd appearances in Vol. 17 and Vol. 22–23, where the lettering sits in a calmer standard callout box rather than jagged SFX styling, confirm the real kanji and translation beyond doubt.
