襲 Attack (on Titan?) - cophnia61 - 2014-05-18

I don't know if it's appropriate to bother the forum for that sort of things... if this is the case then excuse me Tongue

I'm at 襲 (Attack) on RtK and since it's a complex kanji I think it's a good idea to spend some time to create a good story for it.

I was thinking about the anime "Attack on Titan" and something like a giant that "stands up" in his naked "flesh" while they ATTACK him with "three" "slingshot"'s shots... but I don't know how to use the "garment" element, and the "snake" element... Some suggestions? Thank you in advance!

How about his flesh being naked because all the people are unfriendly and wont give him any "garments" that fit, so his "snake" just hangs out and flops around :p

Well sure or you could just remember the entire top bit is 龍 dragon

Yes, I've seen the shared stories and I was thinking the same thing, but there is already a kanji for "dragon, and another for "sign of the dragon", too many dragons! ahaha
Do you know if that top bit appears in other important kanji?

籠 is fairly common (equivalent to 篭, though). I've also seen 朧 and 寵.

Get ZKanji - you can click on a kanji and it'll show you "parts of" (what other kanji it appears in) and "parts" (the parts that compose itself)

Wow ZKanji, I'm trying it now, great program! Then I'm sticking with the original meaning, except I'm calling the primitive "draco" instead of "dragon" to keep it separate from the other dragons xD

Thank you all for your help!!

Don't forget 籠 and 聾!

Really OP you probably should just learn the old dragon character and use that, because you'll be seeing it again!

e: and I should read better because you just said you're gonna do exactly that, haha. well good luck!
