In order to differentiate from the common meaning from the series-specific meaning, and in order to imbue the author's intention behind the specific naming choice, the translation is, if not appropriate, justified.

I'm not sure how much I agree with the choice, but I can't argue that it's not a well-reasoned one.

Or they could just do what they did with "Warring" and put a little accent somewhere.

Afterall, they never explained why "Warring" had an accent, so either way they're not explaining something. Or, better yet, just not translate it because this isn't a history lesson it's a TV show and these are online subs.
