Fascinating! This was fun to watch, even though it was above my level. I'm from the USA and I've been studying a little over a year, mostly through Wanikani. I really love the idea of being able to read in foreign languages, and it's fun to recognize kanji.
Thanks for watching. Even if it's above your current level I hope it could help you learn a little bit. I also love the idea of being able to read in foreign languages, one of the reasons I started learning Japanese years ago :)
I don't really understand why you said that 高を括る is hard to be understood by its kanji. 高 means "high" or "tall" while 括る means "to summarize". So i guess the idea they were going is that you judge yourself too highly and hastily, thus underestimating your opponent？ I don't know what this has to do with rice though. But I loved the story! it was like watching a battle shounen manga! I wonder now why japan never created a battle shounen with kanji competitions, since they like so much their kanji complexity, shounen battles, and making unlikely mixing of ideas sell well.
What you said totally makes sense. I think I just never thought about this word this way. It keeps appearing in a lot of books I read, yet I had trouble remembering it (until I made this video). However, the 語源, the origin of this word comes from 高 with a meaning of "amount" or "level", the same used in 残高, bank balance. That's why it's related to rice, in the Sengoku Period your amount of rice told how wealthy your clan was. Thanks! Yeah, I actually thought about Yu-Gi-Oh when making it 😅 always thought it was interesting how the main character always had a strategy for certain victory. A shounen like the one you said could be fun if done properly, and educational at the same time
