Truth
On’yomi: じつ
Kun’yomi: N/A
Radicals: Helmet + Train
Meaning: Truth
Gregory the Train always wears a helmet (truth is, he’s deathly afraid of injuring his head). He once ran into a cow, and from that day on, Gregory the Train has always worn a helmet when on the move. Trust me, it’s the truth.
Imagine how ridiculous a train would look wearing a helmet! What a hilarious sight. Visualize a train with a helmet crashing into something. Truth be told, it’s much safer than crashing into something without a helmet, don’t you agree?
Reading: じつ
Even though Gregory the Train is well trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu (じつ) (famous martial art style), he still wears a helmet. Just in case. Jiu-jitsu skills can only protect you from so many things. Especially if you’re a train. And that’s the truth.
Imagine getting into a fight with a train that’s well trained in jiu-jitsu. Are you afraid? You should be. Trains are big. And that’s the truth.
