D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Kensai?

[Marandahir]

Pretty much all the “warrior of” names are odd. And Warrior of the Sword Saint implies someone else is the saint. So I’m taking “saint” as equivalent to “warrior” in this context.

Some of the subclasses are already deciding they don't need to Yoda it, so I'd just call the subclass Kensei Warrior, or else, Sword-Saint Warrior.

I think the kensai/kensei question may be less one of romanji and more one of generation: after spelling the one way since 1987 in 1st/2nd/3.5e, they changed the vowel when introducing the 5e subclass, and some of us have been spelling it one way for up to forty years for character sheets only to see it be spelled another way now! Definitely the oddest edition change in my eyes...

Wait... it was spelled wrong in OA? I don't remember that. Though it doesn't surprise me.

In PF1, the Kensai was an archetype of the Magus class.

If Laser Llama converted this archetype for his 5e Magus class, it would have to be Order of the Kensai or Order of the Sword Saint.
