Etymology[]
Kakoi ("castle") refers to strong defensive pieces used in shogi.
Kuzushi refers to Yama-Kuzushi, a variant game of shogi popular with beginners and children. The objective is to make a mound with shogi pieces and then remove pieces one by one without making a sound.
As a whole, Kakoi Kuzushi refers to the Phantom Thieves escaping from their huddle during an ambush much like pieces removed from the board.
