Dr.STONE (IMC) - Week 2

One of the things I was waiting for in the manga was to see what Senku’s most famous catchphrase was in the original language. Turns out ‘Get excited’ is an uncommon word that I don’t remember coming across before - 唆る. It’s an uncommon kanji too, I learned it on Wanikani on level 52 with just a single vocab word (示唆) that I don’t remember ever seeing again after burning it!

Some interesting names in the original too. Yuzuriha is a kanji that doesn’t even seem to come up when I type her name into my computer - 杠 - had to copy it from a dictionary. And Tsubasa’s family name is Lion King!
