@Tony: Well, the translation of this technique's name is a bit strange. To begin with, the only way that "화" (usually translated as "flower" or "anger") can be translated as "flame", is to assume that "화" in this context represents Hanja "火" and then it's still a bit stretching. And although we haven't received Hanja characters for this technique, we did receive them for the Floral Butterfly Piercing Technique (FBPT), where the "화" translates as "floral" in "Floral Butterfly", so there is a bit of a collision.

That all said, the visuals of the technique are clearly red, and some of them look a bit flame-ish, so it's easy to imagine why someone would assume there is a connection.

Considering all of this, even if the translation turns out to be appropriate, it's doubtful there is any more meaning behind the word itself.

@Demotivator: Zumisumi apparently backs up the notion that the technique be called "Crimson Flower" instead. And this stands despite the fact that her criticism of the LINE version "Crimson Flame" may not be thorough enough. After all, Zumisumi says "I understand that hwa can mean flame (as in hwayeomsa)..., but it's actually "hwayeom" that means "flame" in "hwayeomsa", so it's more like LINE translator was pushing for "flame" because of the visuals.
