Bixie Jianfa. Its a Noun not a Verb so Evil Resisting is a bit off.

[CC]

Now the character for Bixie Jianfa uses 辟， not 避。

With my limited understanding, that means it is not referring so much to the act of resisting evil, but to the mystical animal 辟邪。Yes, that lion/dragon like thing you see at the edges of Chinese roofs.

The 辟邪 is a creature which is supposed to guard one's wealth. Quite fitting for an Escort Agency. I suspect this was JY's intention?

Given that it is a noun, not a verb. Is Evil-resisting Sword Art an appropriate translation?

Chinese generally doesn't clearly delineate which characters can be used as verbs and which as nouns - many (most?) can be used as both. '辟邪' is a very common phrase meaning to 'ward off evil', often in the context of religious rituals or talismans to ward off evil spirits. I am aware that the lions are also called that, but I don't know which came first.

'辟' has multiple uses. From Baidu:

辟：bì ㄅㄧˋ，pì ㄆㄧˋ。《说文解字》：“辟，法也。从卩、从辛，节制其辠也；从口，用法者也。 [1] ”。用法节制犯罪的人与行为是辟之范式。
辟：bì ㄅㄧˋ。
本义：君主。如：复辟。 [2]
衍义：引申指“指君主招来，授予官职”。如：辟召、辟引、辟书、辟除（征召推举授官）、辟举。 [3]
衍义：又用作姓 [4]
辟（辟）：pì ㄆㄧˋ。（开拓是辟之范式）
衍义：开发建设。如：开辟。
衍义：引申指“驳斥、排除”。如：辟邪、辟谣、辟蠹。
衍义：引申指“透彻”。如：精辟、透辟、鞭辟入里。 [5]
衍义：引申指“法，刑”。如：大辟（古代指死刑）。

'辟邪' is one of the examples given, and the intention is clearly that of 'refuting, removing'. This usage of '辟' is more common in everyday Cantonese speech than in Mandarin (e.g. 'pik chao' - to ward off a stench), but it still exists, and generally uses the 'pi' sound rather than 'bi'.

As for '避邪'... that would be 'avoiding evil' or 'evading evil', which would be kind of pathetic for a sword art...

Yes I know it can go both ways but given the Escort agency business and the Wealth Guarding aspect of Bixie, I am leaning towards the animal.
