There are different ways to say “I” in Japanese, each having their own little nuances. However, it’s often lost in translation, since English only uses one “I”.

This is a problem for various terms, and some translators try to compensate for it, which is what I think Genocide Jack’s odd talent name is a result of.

Her talent is 殺人鬼 (satsujinki), which means murderer. 殺人者 (satsujinsha) and 殺人犯 (satsujinhan) also mean murderer, the same way 私 (watashi) means “I”, but so do 俺 (ore) and 僕 (boku).

The last kanji used in Genocide Jack’s talent means oni or demon. While the term 殺人鬼 does mean murderer, there is a more to it. This is a murderer who is like a demon. They kill without a care, and are ruthless and cruel. They enjoy the act of killing, rather than being motivated by money or revenge.

That’s why I think Genocide Jack was given the title “Murderous Fiend”. Calling her a murderer would not be inaccurate, but it doesn’t have that nuance of her Japanese title. Referring to her as a murderous fiend keeps the idea of a murderer, while also still connecting her to the imagery of a ruthless and cruel monster.

Thinking about it like this, I’ve come to like her English talent’s name, even if it still sounds a bit weird.
