There's a club in Tokyo called Ageha.

You know what, I don't know if everyone knows this already, but after reading the above, just to see if the name Ageha actually "means something" in Japanese I decided to look it up...the closest match I could find was "agehachou," or "swallowtail butterfly." To verify, I tried Tateha's name as well, and came up with "akatatehachou," or "red admiral butterfly." I guess the names were chosen to fit with the whole "butterfly wings" theme...forgive me if this was already common knowledge, but I never knew that.

Makes me wonder what I'm wasting time in school for, I oughta just hang around online more, heh.

Well, "chou" means butterfly. I would say coincidence, but who knows?

Phalanx is actually the name an infantry formation or infantry type which Alexander the Great employed to conquer the world.

They are very similar to pikemen, simply invincible to anything frontally.

You know back then there is no crossbow, longbow or firearm, there is simply nothing can stand against this highly disciple infantry on the battlefield.

There is actually some ways to defeat this infantry if they lack cavalry support

, but that has gone too far from the topic.
