So it is a made up word after all?

@cytsunny There seems to be no indication of the word being "real" (so far).

<p>In the TV animation of <em>No Game No Life</em>, before every game, the players who join the game would shout out loud a word that sounds like &quot;assent&quot;. I once thought it was assent, as the story makes it seem like it is saying &quot;I agree with the game contract under the 10 rules&quot; (where the subtitles say the word means &quot;swear under the 10 rules&quot;, which does not sound like a contradiction with the word &quot;assent&quot;). Until I watch the new movie <em>No Game No Life Zero</em>, which tells the story of the creating of the game world we see in the TV animation.</p>
<p>In the movie, when the man sacrifices himself to let Riku run away, he shouts a word that sounds like &quot;assent&quot;. I thought to myself: so this is the origin of the word. But I was wrong. When later on Riku and the ghosts started their plan to finish the war, Riku corrects their pronunciation. According to the subtitles, the meaning was changing from &quot;swear to the former brave&quot; to &quot;swear to the rules&quot;, but both words to me still sound like &quot;assent&quot;.</p>
<p>So what exactly were those words they were shouting?</p>
<p>P.S. I was watching the movie in Hong Kong and the subtitles were in Traditional Chinese. The subtitles decided to show the meaning instead of putting the actual words in it.</p>

I mean the original Japanese version, for both TV animation and the latest film.

The only word that closely resembles the word you're asking for is "[Aschente](http://no-game-no-life.wikia.com/wiki/Ten_Pledges)". It's pronounced more or less like: "A-shen-te".

It means one pledges to the ten 'rules' made, and placed by the one true god Tet of Disboard. They state it at the start of every game that uses the ten rules.
