空想樹 - localised as "Tree of Emptiness". Fan-translated as "Tree of Fantasy" or "Quixotic Tree". 空想 meaning "fantasy" is its most prominent and modern meaning. However, it also exists as a Buddhist term as "thought that exhibits attachment to śūnyatāWP". It's superficially like "being caught up in daydreams and that which isn't real", without going into the connotations and nuances of what 空 (emptiness, void, hollow) means. All this to say, the localisation is not entirely wrong.

殺戮猟兵(オプリチニキ), 猟兵 is most strongly associated with JaegerWP troops

【 Section 3 - Yaga (2/3) 】

汝の身は我が下に、我が命運は汝の剣に。
聖杯の寄るべに従い、この意、この理に従うならば応えよ。
誓いを此処に。
我は常世総ての善と成る者、
我は常世総ての悪を敷く者。
汝三大の言霊を纏(まと)う七天、
抑止の輪より来たれ、天秤の守り手よ—！

My will creates your body, and your sword creates my destiny.
If you heed the Grail's call, and abide by this will and reason, then answer me.
I hereby swear.
I embody all that is good in the world.
I shall defeat all that is evil in the world.
Seventh Heaven clad in the three words of power!
Come forth from the circle of binding, Guardian of the Scales!

Demon Pillars Demon/Fog are midway transforming into Acedia/Avaritia judging by the mouth on "Demon".

The raid info uses 7頭の魔獣赫 which could be The Seven-Headed Scarlet Beast, confirming it's a singular creature (the scarlet beast that may or may not be separate to the Beast of Revelations). Which makes me tempted to just translate 魔獣赫 as BEAST THE SCARLET.

It's tough trying to capture the dual meaning of red/brilliance for 赫.
I chose "Incarnadine" for the 赫 after a lot of consideration, but on my second take, I prefer "Scarlatum" (plural "Scarlata"?) since ultimately the lore demands the use of "scarlet" somewhere. Or maybe drawing from "coccinus"/"coccineus" or "puniceus" (Latin words for "scarlet"). Using Latin words opens a whole other can of worms since words are typically gendered.
All that trouble and I could've just looked up what the Scarlet Beast was already in Latin: besteam coccineam -- which is the accusative case.
"Bestia Coccinea"

Humanoid Scarlet Beast
Left to right: ???, ???, Invidia, Luxuria, Avaritia, ???, ???

Avaritia and Invidia identified based on Arcade fight (Youtube video linked above) - interestingly they're the two previously named "Seven Hills" (Invidia and Avaritia)

Best guess: Acedia, Gula, Invidia, Luxuria, Avaritia, Ira, Superbia

  • Acedia's headpiece appears feline, resembling the dragon form shared between Acedia and Avaritia - the ones that look like four lions merged together at the mouth (now easier to see in their True Form sprite)
  • Gula - the gold diamonds making a pattern down its side resembles Gula's teeth in dragon form
  • Ira - it's a bit hard to see whether the tentacles behind are sprouting from it or the last figure, but the pattern by its shoulders definitely match the gold pattern on the dragon form shared between Ira and Invidia
  • Superbia is named based on process of elimination, especially as it has the least identifying features. (Maybe Luxuria took the lion's share of resemblance to their base form.)

Crowns/Seals: the boss fight with Invidia and Avaritia has them with the passives The Second Seal and The Fifth Seal respectively - which doesn't match how they were paired up with the Singularities, but DOES match the order they appeared in the boss fight with Shadow Draco in Arcade's Lilim Harlot. Based on these, we can surmise that their "order" is something like:

  1. Superbia
  2. Invidia
  3. Ira
  4. Acedia
  5. Avaritia
  6. Gula
  7. Luxuria
