Meaning: Anti-
The stool is in the cliff. If someone has a stool deep inside a cliff, they are most likely pretty anti-society, hiding away like that.
Imagine someone who looks super antisocial (and a little feral). Ask them why they’re sitting on this stool inside a cliff… they reply because they hate people. They are anti-people!
Reading: はん
Turns out, when you go to this guy and pull off his beard, he’s Han Solo, the anti-hero from Star Wars! What is Han doing here, so hidden away? He’s obviously hiding from Jabba because he doesn’t want to get frozen in kryptonite again.
Make sure you get to the point where you pull off this anti-social guy’s beard off, to reveal Han Solo beneath. Be surprised… not just because he’s Han Solo, but because he’s real, too! Maybe you can yell out “Han! Your people need you!”
Vocabulary
There is a kun’yomi for this one, but it isn’t all that important, and isn’t worth learning. While we’re on the topic of not learning things, there’s no vocab words you’re ready to learn quite yet either, so just make sure you know the kanji and on’yomi, then move on to the next one.
