Yorozu's "haiku"

イケメンも (ikemen mo ; "even handsome men" 干せばカピカピ (hoseba kapikapi ; "got flaky if they dried out") いとおかし (itookashi ; "it's very lovely")

Sukuna: Where's the kigo*?

On top of 17-on with 5-7-5 pattern, a proper haiku usually will include a kigo (季語 ; "seasonal words". Haiku is usually about appreciation of the nature so usually they will include words related to the seasons) and a kireji ("cutting word" - in this case the "-shi" at the end of last line).

Yorozu's haiku doesn't include a kigo lol, so it's actually more accurate to be called a senryu; a contemporary type of poetry derived from haiku, following the 5-7-5 pattern but without the requirement of kigo or kireji. I'd imagine Sukuna as a haughty Heian culture conservative would scoff at the idea of senryu lmao

Walaupun ini masih awal, tapi dari keterangan CT milik Yorozu hampir sama dengan milik Mai atau beda ya? Apa harus nunggu chapter berikutnya untuk memastikannya?

Ya, same questions so I'm sorry to collect these. This is the original panel;

And Mai's technique is

Both are written the same. So yeah, Mai and Yorozu share the same technique of 構築 (kouchiku) or construction technique.

The official fanbook mentions that Zenin clan's main characteristic is that they have various inherited curse techniques; and now we know that construction technique is one of them. So Yorozu's bloodline actually married into Zenin clan.

hi, lele. hope you're doing well!

i'm a bit curious about a certain sukuna panel in chapter 217. when sukuna said to yorozu "whatever you wish to do with my corpse is up to you", someone pointed out that the literal jp translation is somewhere along the lines of losing is just like dying for him? is it true?

Yes, it's true

"(I will give you) everything. This won't happen, but in the chance that I lose, it's the same even if I die. You can do whatever to my corpse."

Do you think the shrine yorozu mentions is sukunas cursed technique name?

Yeah, the shrine (御厨子 ; mizushi in the original text) actually comes from his domain expansion's name (伏魔御厨子 ; fukuma mizushi, translated as "Malevolent shrine"). I have done a breakdown of this name so let me copy-paste my previous post here:

伏魔 (fukuma), most likely comes from 伏魔殿 (fukuma-den), which means a palace where demons lurk. 御厨子 (mizushi) have several possible meanings; first, it means the tools to enshrine Buddha statue second, it maybe comes from 御厨子所 (mizushi-dokoro) which is a place in the temple used to prepare meals for the emperor, festival, or as offerings third, it is a word to say 厨子 (zushi) (meaning kitchen) in honored form, as 御 (mi-) can mean prefix “honorable”

Just saying

Hey Haiku bot, Sukuna would like to know where's your seasonal word.
