Learning Japanese with Berserk: Evil power
🕑 Added 2021-06-27 21:38:01 +0000 UTCThe kanji 魔, pronounced MA, is the term used for the "evil power" the apostles receive.
But its use in Japanese is more general than that. By itself it can mean "demon," "evil spirit" or "evil influence". When used as a component of another word, it can also just mean something supernatural or esoteric. An easy example is 魔法 (MAHOU), which simply means "magic".

Yeah, it's pretty common as a part of compound words! We'll go over a few of them in the future but I think its use for the power the apostles receive is especially interesting.

One of my favorites! It's fascinating to me that it's a kanji that's central both to magic users and to apostles.
