Alternative

Sudden

Mnemonic

Under a canopy, Wolverine opens his mouth and says, "China!" Why would he say China? It's all very sudden.

Hints

Picture Wolverine shouting "China!" in his canopy all of a sudden. Okay, he only said "China" because someone asked him to name a country, and when he looked at his canopy, it reminded him of a pagoda.

Mnemonic

This sudden urge to shout "China" also came about because Wolverine woke up in とうきょう. Outside of his pagoda-shaped canopy, Wolverine noticed the kanji and assumed he was in China.

Hints

In Wolverine's defense, he hasn't been learning Japanese like you have, so we can almost forgive him for his mishap. He could do better though. Pretty bad in this day and age to get China and Tokyo mixed up…
