What does "Nightbringer" Yasuo mean for Demonblade Tryndamere?

So I've been hearing that Riot has stated that the reason they're called Nightbringer Yasuo and Dawnbringer Riven is because of sensitive subjects around Christianity and how they define an angel and a demon. (Personally I think this is just to stray themselves from the obviously correct leaks...but alright rito...) However, what about Demonblade Tryndamere? We know that Nightbringer was planned to be Demonblade, and looking at Nightbringer, he has various similarities to Demonblade Tryndamere already (Grey-ish skin, strange corruption-style protrusions on his body, etc). Is it Nightbringer Tryndamere now if were going to follow that new rule? Or can Riot PLEASE change it back to Demonbalde and Angelblade.

I doubt that was the reason for the change and imo Nightbringer sounds cooler. Plus Nightbringer Yasuo is of a completely different thematic from Deomnblade Tryndamere.

I doubt that it has to do with that considering that we have angels and demons as champions within the game.

The names were likely just changed to differentiate the nightbringer skin from demonblade trynda,cause they do look quite different(trynda has an organic demon sword,wheras yasuo looks like a fire demon)

Calling the skins "Demonblade Yasuo" and "Angelblade Riven" were likely just placeholder names during production, just so the designers could talk about the light vs dark dichotomy before they actually chose final names. After all, the latest champs were referred to as "the Phoenix" and "the Harpy".

I honestly feel like they should change the demonblade Tryndamere skin after the nightbringer yasuo release
