Japanese learning time! Aqua had quite a bit of trouble reading the description posted on the statue so let's look at what words she had trouble with. 尽力 _jinryoku_ - Middle school level kanji. Effort, endeavor. In this context, to strive very hard to perform a task. 築く _kizuku_ - 5th grade level kanji. To build. 功績 _kouseki_ - 4th-5th grade level kanji. Achievement, accomplishment. Just hanging out around one of the most selective universities in Japan tho :^) Obviously in my translation she doesn't stutter on the same words because it wouldn't make sense sentence structure-wise, but people seem to enjoy TL notes in the comments.
Not sure if you showing us grade & middle school kanji is to help us learn, or if it's a burn on Aqua for not remembering grade & middle school kanji Either way thank you!
HISTORICAL CONTEXT TIME: In Kyoto University, there was a bronze bust of Hikoichi Orita, one of the founders of said university. In 1990, it was vandalized in the context of protests against the Gulf War. The faculty later cleaned it and added a warning sign: "As headmaster of Third Senior High School, Orita Hikoichi-sensei assisted in the founding of Kyoto University, and is a person who has left behind many achievements in pursuit of academic liberty at Kyoto University. Please do not dishonor this statue" This only sparked even more vandalizing, each time getting more bizarre and creative. Finally in 1997, the bust was removed and put on display inside the faculty. However, this didn't stop the students, they now created their own busts and statues, and parodying the original sign. This has now become a tradition around this time of exams at Kyoto University, to exhibit statues based on anime, manga, games, and other japanese cultural icons. And leaving "offerings" that other students can take if they need them.
I think my favorite part about that bit is that Aqua seems more offended that it's discounted 50 yen than she is about the actual presence of the onion.
It’s a battle between Aqua and Gura for that position right. Have you seen the clip where Gura where’s the rest of the grades with Kiara? Edit: ruclips.net/video/eN4dDc-EvFY/видео.html Here it is if you haven’t seen it
Aqua is probably the only person in the world who can see a statue of themselves, and their most pressing question be “where did you manage to buy an onion at 50 cents off???”
Aqua in this vid: Don't give food offering to me. Aqua in another vid: In case I have trouble getting food by myself, I will rotate holo JP members for food everyday.
The mad lad behind the creator of the statue was a big simper and already dedicated his own funds to give Aqua full support including cheap sacrifices. What a big simp you were dude
Coco has had a locker alter in her worship Aqua has a bust statue 'shrine' at a JP university, Kyoto no less Hoping to see more shrines/altars like these XD
After they got down from the truck, as Sephiroth and Aqua are being hunted. He hides her behind a large rock. Once Sephiroth is dealt with the final blow and they left, aqua crawls toward Sephiroth. Aqua: Sephiroth... Sephiroth: For the... both of us... Aqua: Both of us? Sephiroth: That's right, you're gonna... you're gonna... live... Sephiroth: You will be... my living Tamanegi...
I don't know if It's a good idea putting Aqua there during entrance exam. Imagine, you will take entrance exam there and saw Aqua then you feel your braincells slowly decreasing.
I have little hope, but I still will look for Sephiroth/Aqua fanart on Danbooru... Edit: there was one doodle with her and Sephiroth in the back of a truck and comics that described situation and failed to predict her reaction on Sephiroth.
so basically her Sculpture got treated like a Goddess church where people keep things to respect the God and then it got removed because people started Paying the holy onion Idol's Sculpture? guess sacrifices had to be made for this legendary tale
I wonder if these people made that statue to pass exams. ...well, considering the enshrined maid herself can't read kanji that well, might as well backfire lol.
_The shrine of Aqua is real..._ *It wasn't a myth after all! If only I can be one of those students...* *But what's with the Onigiri tho?* *Are they worshipping Okaqua?*

I certainly appreciate these comments!
Not sure if you showing us grade & middle school kanji is to help us learn, or if it's a burn on Aqua for not remembering grade & middle school kanji
Either way thank you!
Thanks for these things, hope Ill be able to remember at least 1 by the time I wake up
I heard Aqua doesn't read light novels because there's no furigana.
I wasn't sure if that was true or not but, huh...
@@ElliotKeaton I think thats correct, she struggles to read manga and novels with kanji and usually buys books that has the furigana beside the kanji

Very interesting
Never would have thought this happens
So apparently Minato Aqua is now big enough to be cultural icon.
Interesting info right there, thanks man!
Thanks for sharing
"And an onion."
*cuts to Aqua*
well... he's not wrong~
The man that put the onion there is a goddamn legend
That reminds me of a Tweet/Reddit-post with a video of a book store, where a lot of Aqua was featured and in a line of Busts was also an onion.
I think my favorite part about that bit is that Aqua seems more offended that it's discounted 50 yen than she is about the actual presence of the onion.
Didnt make any sense though.. You dont offer an onion to an onion. Should have offered a garlic, so the onion wasn't alone!!
LITERALLY
Sephiroth and Aqua chilling in the back of a truck together will forever be one of the greatest images I have ever seen.
*45 years in the future "heh Aqua and Sephiroth in the back of a truck"
Hey, it was good enough to get Zack and Cloud back to Midgar.
It looks like they’re hitchhikers
That's the kind of image that a scavenger will find as the desktop background of a PC inside a nuclear bunker some 60 years from now.
Of course they pick the smartest Hololive member to be the representative of a university
It’s a battle between Aqua and Gura for that position right. Have you seen the clip where Gura where’s the rest of the grades with Kiara?
Edit: ruclips.net/video/eN4dDc-EvFY/видео.html
Here it is if you haven’t seen it
@@ThishandlefeatureISdumbAnd then there’s Korone who legit graduated from Tokyo university
I love how there's an Onion infront of the statue, it seems like the one who put that there know whats going on
Aqua is probably the only person in the world who can see a statue of themselves, and their most pressing question be “where did you manage to buy an onion at 50 cents off???”
Imagine if you're the one that put an onion there and you're watching the stream
She’s getting closer to being a God Gamer Maid
My Gamer God was an Onion
@@geeteshm4858 *is ftfy
Throw in cat in there somewhere
Ascended XD
*An Onion Gaming Maid*
_I Just Wanted to Correct That actually._
Not only did someone leave an onion but one with a discounted sticker I'm truly deceased
02:49
That zoom-in of onion is so accurate lmao.
4:18 Man, the Crisis Core Remake looks hella different with raytracing on.
it's very realistic~
Broke: Someone offered money
Woke: Someone offered an IRL superchat with no comment
Actually, the truck looks rather reminiscent of the Zack+Cloud section in FFVII when they were in the back of a truck going to midgar.
Be glad Aqua..
You're in Kyoto University
Nice job zooming in on the onion, I kusa'd.
Aqua in this vid: Don't give food offering to me.
Aqua in another vid: In case I have trouble getting food by myself, I will rotate holo JP members for food everyday.
I'm not up to date on my final fantasy 7 lore, but I do remember Sephiroth and Aqua being one winged angels. Things got really weird in the spin-offs.
A discounted 50 yen-off onion is definitely the highlight of this lmao
Seriously, the zooming when showing the offerings is legendary!
All praise the onion...
Blub's choice of clips are always super entertaining.
Imagine driving late night and u see a truck in front of you with 2 heads sticking out at the back and u feel aqua’s murderous intent
That zoom tho on the onion, that was perfect! I burst out laughing lol
I'd like to imagine Aqua just chilling with Sephiroth
Then Sephiroth give Aqua... *dis pear~*
4:39 C'mon Aqua people would kill for a chance to get a date with sephiroth
Appreciate the Aqua clips you've done for us this week! Pogu Pogu!
The mad lad behind the creator of the statue was a big simper and already dedicated his own funds to give Aqua full support including cheap sacrifices. What a big simp you were dude
Thanks for the translations! 🙏✨
Well i found this really inspirational for the new student's. Pogu pogu
Some very cultured students at Kyoto University. I approb
"Does someone there have Minato as their surname" has the same energy as Garfield's "I wonder who that's for"
This is a perfect example of the power of "For the *_MEMES_* " and "My Oshi!!".
She's less mad there's an onion and more that it's some manager's special about to expire.
Lesson - if you're gonna roast, go big or go home.
Nice..
They need someone that cannot even read kanji properly to boost their confidence
I laughed when you cut to here face as she said "onion" XD
Praise the Gaming Maid Onion Cat Girl
That's one way of getting into university
The person who offered her 50% discounted onion will get 50% discounted in blessing
oh, Anya suddenly appeared in chat at the end lol
the moment people get accepted and worship this statue might get IQ reduced in an instant
I had to search for this clip because youtube did not recommend it to me.
Coco has had a locker alter in her worship
Aqua has a bust statue 'shrine' at a JP university, Kyoto no less
Hoping to see more shrines/altars like these XD
You can tell one of her fans put the onion there.
pogu pogu
AQUA The Gamer Maid *Rises* (insert batman 3 bgm)
Atleast they aren't playing aqua bgm while they are answering their test
I guess you could say that Aqua got NTR'd...
The discounted onion kills me
Akutan and Sephiroth... Aqua confirmed for Smash!
Aqua and Sephiroth hanging on the back of a truck
You pray to her if you want to fail your exams.
pogu pogu
i saw the description... might as well try.
SEEPHIROOOFFF - watame voice could be heard
baqua: NEEE, the onion is even 50yen off
i laughed too loud 😂😂
Someone gave the statue a super chat. xD
After they got down from the truck, as Sephiroth and Aqua are being hunted. He hides her behind a large rock. Once Sephiroth is dealt with the final blow and they left, aqua crawls toward Sephiroth.
Aqua: Sephiroth...
Sephiroth: For the... both of us...
Aqua: Both of us?
Sephiroth: That's right, you're gonna... you're gonna... live...
Sephiroth: You will be... my living Tamanegi...
I've been thinking this from the start, but what if someone lit some incense in front of the statue
Imagine driving behind that truck at 1am.
I like how she says "Sephirosu".
'And it's 50 yen off' - lmao
She got roasted in chat for her kanji skills.
2:49 Onion lmfao
The tuna-mayo has Okayu ears and tail!
I don't know if It's a good idea putting Aqua there during entrance exam.
Imagine, you will take entrance exam there and saw Aqua then you feel your braincells slowly decreasing.
The zoom at 2:49 made me chuckle... pogu pogu!
Given I'm 3rd year I might try it.
POGU POGU
She more angry about the fact that it's a discount onion
The biggest issue here for her is that why she was with Sephiroth in there
I have little hope, but I still will look for Sephiroth/Aqua fanart on Danbooru...
Edit: there was one doodle with her and Sephiroth in the back of a truck and comics that described situation and failed to predict her reaction on Sephiroth.
4:21 It looks like a crime scene
Minato Aqua for Smash confirmed?
so basically her Sculpture got treated like a Goddess church where people keep things to respect the God
and then it got removed because people started Paying the holy onion Idol's Sculpture?
guess sacrifices had to be made for this legendary tale
Aqua: who did this?!
Me: a legend
super chatting irl what a chad
Not the discount onion😭😭😭
50 cent onion pogu pogu
The description was written by "Friend A"?
...Kyoto University got A-chan to write on Aqua's behalf?
Epic.
pogu pogu
there, now i can be lazy and still get good grades right?
Oh God. If someone made a school that worship hololive. I will put my child there and know the sacred words
me: "searches aqua statue"
youtube: "puts aqua from kuzobasurashit above hololive aqua"
me: "loads gun"
I wonder if these people made that statue to pass exams.
...well, considering the enshrined maid herself can't read kanji that well, might as well backfire lol.
pogu pogu good gaming please i need a hu tao
pogu pogu
...Did I do it right?
