rhymeOkay, so apparently neither of our dictionaries contained the term「気合」.
I didn't recognize it until I saw how it was read, but still, AS SOMEONE WHO HAS SPENT TIME BEING SCOLDED FOR NOT HAVING IT, I THINK THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE SOMEWHAT IMPORTANT TO INCLUDE?
Although it's mostly the Kodansha that's at fault, as the kanji dictionaries are mostly for looking up individual characters. Damn it Kodansha, I HAD FAITH IN YOU. >(

Date: 2007-09-19 04:33 am (UTC)Because, seriously, translating "kiai" as "concentration" is INADEQUATE. Well, I mean, not for what we're doing, because context, but IF IT WERE IN A DICTIONARY, I MEAN. BUT IT WASN'T. FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL.
