Etymology and allusion[]

Hokuto is Japanese for "North Star" and refers to the constellation Big Dipper, which is associated with the celestial palace of the heavens and death in Eastern cultures. Northswain is a compound word, meaning "northern cart", referring to the same asterism.

The attack's Japanese name has a similar naming convention to Kenshiro's from the 1980s manga Fist of the North Star.

The attack shares thematic similarities with Northswain's Strike, an ability from Final Fantasy Tactics.
