Mnemonic

Rice that is blue has a strong spirit. Our spirits are blue, so if you ever see rice (or other food, or even people) that's blue, you know that's their spirit radiating out!

Picture this rice, the pulsing blue spirit of each grain is glowing so bright!

Mnemonic

You want to see the spirit up close, so you take your saber (せい), throw the blue rice in the air, and slice it in half! The rice explodes and blue light fills everything! Then it's gone.

As you release the spirits in the rice, your saber begins to glow blue too. Their spirits are going inside your saber, making it stronger!
