Translation
See Tachi: Enpi for the translation of "Tachi:"
Hobaku refers to a section of Isshin-ryu kusarigamajutsu, the teaching of the art of the japanese weapon kurarigama, a sickle and chain. Including in this training is hojojutsu or torinawa. These styles revolved around restraining a person, specifically by rope. More modernly used as training for law enforcement. Although rope has been long replaced by handcuffs and chains, it is still identified by restricting a person, therefore "preventing them from acting," as is the effect of Stun- binding in place and preventing from taking action.
A connection could be made to the type of weapon identified with such training, a sickle and chain. Sickles, or scythes, identify to Dark Knight. Chains, of course, point to torinawa.
