High School DxD: Uniquely Romanised Terms

Like many other fantasy Light Novel Series, the original High School DxD light novels feature unique romanizations for many of the series' unique terms. This almost always consists of Kanji Combinations that describe the item in question. This page might appear a bit messy due to the insane amounts of terms that fit in this category. This page is simply here for reference, and to retain this part of Ishibumi's writing without messing with the entire novel translation, so please, in the name of the Three Factions, do not put these in the translations.
