Meaning: Row
You’ve got yourself some bad ribs, I’m afraid. How many? Several in a row.
Feel your bad ribs. They’re tender and bruised, and multiple of them are hurt in a row. Feeling the pain a bit will help you to remember this kanji’s meaning better too, so make sure you do that!
Reading: れつ, れい
How’d you get these busted up ribs, all in a row? You were shot by someone with a ray beam. You remember it vividly. You were shopping, and someone busts in with a ray gun, shooting everywhere. As he’s firing, he keeps shouting “Let’s (れつ) Ray! (れい). Then, one ray hit you in the side, where it busted a row of ribs.
Focus on the “let’s ray” part of this mnemonic. Make it a bit ridiculous the way he’s yelling it, several different ways.
