I believe it was a mixup. I dont know what happened, but my guess would be that when whoever updates the site went to add the Talent, the Bloody Cross was put there instead. It has since been corrected.

I believe that they are taking their naming convention a bit too far...

It's a Korean brand, but In japan if I remember, it's a vampire character...half demon and half angel.

A female character that can kick but....

How is bloody cross taking it too far?

It is a Korean character, yes.

Bloody Cross would probably bring to mind Jesus Christ in Christian America. This could turn into a huge religious debate, but I, for one, disapprove of the name.

Completely agree with Doom. Definitely had a religious connotation to me, and is a poor choice of name. Free speech, they have their right to name it that way for sure, but I'm not a fan of the name choice.

Odd as the owner of Lord Field in Korea is, as far as I have heard, an extreme Christian. Not sure how the connotation of the word "bloody cross" varies between the Christians in America and the Christians in Korea.

My point is simply this, if it is the term, or what it brings to mind for you and you are Christian it seems silly for it to bother you. If you are a different religion and feel it favors Christianity then I could better see the point.

So many of the Christian churches depict the cross with an Image of Jesus on it being crucified. The term itself of "Bloody Cross" seems tame compared to the image of someone being hammered to a cross and murdered.

Even extremely popular Christian song lyrics refer to it

The old rugged cross

"In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me."

Like I said the name seems tame compare to what we see from the religious sector itself.

With out seeing the actual ball it is also a lot of speculation. People can be offended by anything and there is no fixing that.

Seems obvious to me guys, but you have the right to your opinion, no matter how idiotic I personally think it is. But that's my right too, ok with you? Can't understand the double standards today, but I'll have nothing else to say on it.
