武器 weapon
蠍 scorpion
憧れる あこがれる to long for
I learned 憧 at level 59 but there’s no vocab for it so it’s cool to have come across this while reading.

Its most common meaning in anime is ‘to admire’. I thought it was used with を, but turns out it’s used with に instead.

Isn’t that word a vocab word for it?

I came across it while reading the 無職転生 light novel. The MC’s magic book only has spells up to advanced and he really wants to learn about the next level. I guess admire works in the context too.
Ah you’re right. I hadn’t realized that; the vocab is still locked for me

一輪草「いちりんそう」- poppy anemone
二輪草「にりんそう」- soft windflower (also anemone)
Something I also didn’t know - 輪 is a counter for flowers, like in the song 一輪の花. Before I thought it’s 本.

憧憬 is a much less common, but nonetheless useful one that you will come across that also uses it.

Some weather related terms:
温暖（な） - warm, but also “temperate” in the sense of climate
温暖前線 - warm front (前線 means also sorts of “fronts”, including war frontline)
温暖化（する）- warming, but also global warming
EDIT:
I thought 風夏 genuinely means “Summer wind”, but it looks like it’s just a name translation (Seo Kouji’s titular protagonist from the Fuuka manga)
風化（する） - weathering, erosion
南風 - southern wind
Haha, happens to the best of us 
. Nice that you finally got it!

After failing it repeatedly on Wanikani and hearing and looking it up a million times I have finally learned 基本的 (fundamental/basic). No idea why this word gave me so much trouble but it’s finally deeply seated in my head.

I just learned 放す「はなす」, and it’s about damn time! The number of times I’ve heard this in anime and had a little Metal Gear Solid “!” pop up has been unnerving. I’ve understood that they’re saying let go, but it always bothered me that it sounded like 話す and I hadn’t yet learned the difference lol.

I think “Hole in the Wall” must be mainly an American English phrase. I’ve only ever heard it been used to refer to an ATM/cash machine in the UK.
