"Superb"

By Telefool, Jun 20, 2007

It's the debut of Ayumu Kasuga, a.k.a. Osaka, and she really shows what she is made of. Everyone gets the feeling that she will be like a complete Osakan (a southerner in Japan), but after she performs some of her actions, she is viewed in a whole different perspective. In the episode, Osaka's character is defined as random, and "creative." Random for the things she says, and creative for the thoughts she puts together in her head to come up with a crazy idea. Osaka, one of the main characters in Azumanga Daioh, and the most random character of all.moreless

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Osaka: "I was hoping you would say, 'That's not trivial knowledge, it's BEAN knowledge.'" Bean knowledge is an idiom that means miscellanous knowledge in Japanese. Mame chishiki = bean knowledge i.e. trivial knowledge Mame no chishiki = knowledge of beans Osaka is trying to make a pun, but no one gets it.
  EDIT SHARE
- Sakaki: Well, for hiccups, you should boil the calyx of a persimmon and drink it. A persimmon is a popular Asian fruit. The calyx is a cup-like part of the flower.
