No Fear

恐れず (osorezu)

The Japanese word osorezu translates as "No Fear". The Japanese verb "to fear" is %8B%B0%82%EA%82%E9 (read osoreru). And with this particular verb pattern the opposite meaning can be created by replacing the final "ru" with a "zu". So "to be fearful" is osoreru and "to not be fearful" is osorezu.
