Awakening?
Awakening is a fan-term so i think is not very suitable for a wiki article. Here is a page of wikipedia in japanese:

http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%B8%80%E6%96%B9%E9%80%9A%E8%A1%8C#.E5.A4.A9.E4.BD.BF.E4.B9.8B.E5.8A.9B.E3.80.8C.E9.BB.91.E7.BF.BC.E3.80.8D

In this article there is no mention of the term Awakening, instead they refear of his powers as "Black Wings" and "White Wings".


 * 1) That is actually the Chinese Wikipedia— a source I wouldn't exactly call authoritative.


 * 2) The Awakening page describes the basis for the term, and at a cursory glance it would appear the Japanese phrases purported have currency on at least the internet, including on the actual Japanese Wikipedia.


 * 3) There may be no official English translation for 覚醒, but Awakening is the literal and metaphorical meaning of it. It is in the best interests of the English-speaking fandom to translate the jargon used within the novels. While Awakening may be a fan term, it is the best phrase to refer to the phenomenon, all things considered. Unless you have an alternate proposal, there is no need to change it.
