    "Good Day! Myouren Temple EX" EX-90: Divine Spirit Mausoleum Underground 02

    The Crown Prince Ear is hellishly keen.
    Parody of a line from the opening them to Devilman which makes a pun of the idiom jigoku mimi ("Hell ears"), a metaphor for very sharp hearing.

    Is it preferable in this case to translate 神霊廟 in the strip titles literally as "Divine Spirit Mausoleum", or should I treat it as the game title and use the English equivalent of "Ten Desires" instead? Either seems to make as much sense in context, though the latter feels a bit less clunky to me.

    Seems like the “ 神霊廟” is used as substitute of its residents.

    So I would use the former, too.
