Keyword individual
Koohii Story 1 This keyword gave me trouble, I could write the kanji from memory but could not remember the keyword the other way around. In such case the dictionary definition can be helpful : "Middle English, single, indivisible". Here we have Mr. T. who is so hardened (all the body workout he´s had) that he became in-dividual, that is, in-divisible. "I pity da foo who can be divided into smaller units.".
Koohii Story 2 Mr. T insists that people be individual. He appears on television, saying, "Being an individual is hard! But you gotta do it! Harden yourself, and be individual!".
