I was about to say, "Clearly, the article should be named
'Tessaiga', with a redirect from 'Tetsusaiga'.".  But I see the
situation is currently the opposite.

One of my fantasies for Wiki software is a way for one article
to have two or more names, with absolutely no distinction as to
which is the "primary" or "secondary" name, precisely so as to
be able to utterly defuse situations like this...

(Yeah, I know, it still wouldn't work; a sufficiently
obstreperous editor could edit war to get an allegedly-unofficial
duplicate name removed.  But it's a pleasant thought...)
