Well, originally it was "Ijiatsu", which is obviously a Japanatized bastardization of "idiots", but Forza (I think) changed it to "Ijiyatsu", which I think meant something like "stubborn person" or something, unless I'm remembering wrong~

...Which I probably am.  Gah.

"yatsu" in japanese is an informal "you" in english or something. So it's kind of a portmanteau of "ijiatsu" and "yatsu".

... methinks.

Well, regardless of the meaning, Ijiyatsu itself sounds cool xD

Don't forget best final midboss *ahem*

Probably because it seems like common knowledge and no one wants to sound like a noob by being the first one to ask. :V

意地 - Willpower or stubbornness, but we made it out to mean thick-headedness.
奴 - Pronoun without gender specification. Used when joking around.

And then there's the whole ijiyatsu - idiots thing.
