WTH?
"Fight" in Japanese (ファイト!) is akin to a rallying cheer, similar in meaning to "Gambare!" (頑張れ!). Remember, this is English from a Japanese person's (child's) perspective. Plus, since this 763 will only be on domestic routes, I wouldn't be too surprised if it was chosen. (Though I would hope ANA has more sense than that...)
