Mnemonic

Who could possibly stop this cleanse of all lands?! The only person capable of this is, of course, Joe (じょう), the local farmhand. He’s so tall and burly that he can stop even the largest of tsunamis… right?

Joe has gone through many things during your WaniKani journey, but this might be too much even for him. Either way, he’s going to try his best to stop this tsunami of conflict, threatening to cleanse the lands of everything we know. With his bare hands, of course.
