Blossom


Radical Combination


Meaning

Blossom, Bloom

Mnemonic

Having a foul mouth and horns will prevent you from getting into Heaven where you would blossom into an angel. If you have horns, you are not meant for Heaven and will not blossom there. To blossom in Heaven, you must not have horns or a foul mouth.

Swear like a sailor as you imagine yourself with some horns. You’re not going to blossom in Heaven. You’re going to blossom in Hell and become a demon.

Mnemonic

You don’t want to blossom into a demon so you saw (さ) off your horns with a saw. If you saw off your horns, maybe you can beg for forgiveness and have your foul mouth forgiven.

Imagine taking a saw to your horns and sawing them off. Hear the reverberation of the saw in your skull as you painfully saw off your horns.
