I’m not a huuuuuge fan of Naruto, but I have to say that when the mnemonics for 外 first came up, I had some trouble with Guy Fawkes. Then がいせんせい popped in my head as well and I though, “well, why not?”
By the way, @Aikibujin your thread is awesome and it really helps! Please keep it up!
( Koichi’s Mnemonic: You’re trying to trace a person back to their origin so you can learn more about them. You finally get there - it’s a castle. The problem is that it’s surrounded by a huge moat (もと) and you can’t get past it because the drawbridge is up. Feel the frustration of this. Think about your goal and how close you are to getting to it if it wasn’t for this lousy moat.)
However, for it to work better with the mnemonic, I’ll need you to go there first and slightly alter that bridge so that it has a drawbridge, make sure it’s raised, take a pic of it, come back and upload. ^ _ ^
( Koichi’s Mnemonic: This radical is pretty complicated, but not much looks like this radical, so you’re in luck. This looks like a giant flying fortress of some kind. See the propellers on the back as it moves to the left? Just imagine something like this flying through the air. That’s why this radical is fly, because it is flying.)
Your secret is safe with me - you can still keep Kenshin on your avatar proudly, hahaha
I’m probably into pirates right now because I’ve already finished the Naruto series, but somehow there are ninjas in One Piece, so you wouldn’t be too disappointed
