I’m not really sure why these two are equated with each other, but it might have been a speculation on Master Hawkeye’s part.

However, these two equations are not really related, even though they have some of the same components (MC 2) Einstein’s equation expresses the amount of energy in a particular mass, and the second equation (E = 1/2mv 2) expresses kinetic energy (or the energy of motion). The second line denotes some famous equations: the first is Albert Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence theorem, and the second seems to be a relationship between the Einstein’s theorem and the kinetic energy of a mass (M) with a moving speed (V), or the equation E = 1/2mv 2. This section deals mainly with physics and chemistry.

So this first section is merely a salutation to Fire, as if Master Berthold Hawkeye were addressing the element as a person. By doing a little research I found that “INRI” has many different meanings in the alchemical world: Ignem Natura Regenerate Integrat (nature renews fire by regeneration) and Igni Natura Renovatur Integra (nature is completely renewed with fire) are a couple translations. The very first line Igni Natura Renovatur Integra, has Christian implications, since the acronym might read “INRI” (or Iesu Nazarinus Rex Iudorem, meaning “Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews”), but considering this manga has absolutely nothing to do with Jesus of Nazareth himself, it must have something to do with alchemy.

Vindica me et alteros ab morte in flammis The poem in Latin reads thus (words in brackets are not included in the tattoo): Starting at the second line of this section (I’ll come back to the first line later), the Latin inscription is a part of a poem by Flumen Viride, called “The Rites - Four Elements: Earth, Fire, Air, Water.” The part in Riza’s tattoo addresses the element of Fire, obviously.

Latin is one of my specialties in college, and when I saw that a full depiction of Riza’s tattoo had been drawn out with Latin text, I jumped on it like no other. This will definitely come up in later chapters, so any of my readers might want to take a look here. So I’ve decided to do a small analysis on the tattoo Riza Hawkeye wears on her back, as a supplement to my little ongoing fanfiction Hawkeye and the General.
