Madara’s Least Favorite Food

The English Wiki says “roe\fish eggs”

Not quite…

(shanosho, pg 48)

It’s actually 白子\shirako. (fish testes) 

Madara does not like fish testes. 

But the funny thing is “why?”

タラtara = cod 

マダラmadara\真鱈\true cod = pacific cod 

Cod kanji 鱈 breaks down to fish魚 winter雪, because the season is in winter.

Shirako is normally taken from cod, and madara is prized for its rich taste so much so that in japan the males are more expensive than the females. 

madara shirako:

Brains look like brains because folding maximizes the surface area to volume ratio. brain and the fish sperm sacs appear to use the extra surface area for different things…

Can be enjoyed in many forms, deep fried, sushi, or in broth. (Although, it’s considered a delicacy, not everyone likes it and it’s considered more of an acquired taste.)

Check out his birthday! Wintertime! Christmas!

During the winter months, like December, it’s cold, so families, sometimes friends eat hotpot\鍋\nabe to warm up. You eat fish like madara.

Typically enjoyed at a party

(Very nostalgic images for me)

Looks like to me from his birthday, that his parents had a nice hotpot, with some cod in it, and decided to name him after the fish.

I would imagine when he grew up he found out what part of the fish it was, and suddenly became his most disliked food.

His father/mother and siblings must have teased him a lot for it.

Hmm… those are portable gas burners. Gramps Madara prob wouldn’t have such nice technology.

In the past, and in some rural areas, houses typically had an irori, a hearth, which was used for cooking, keeping warm, eating, and was a social spot.

Here’s one with some food!

Now, it’s a bit weird…. but looking back at it…. in vol 65,

Madara and Hashirama are next to some air conditioning units and electricity poles.

But kid Hashirama’s house looks like this

(Striking absence)

Technology is a mystery in this world. I wonder when gas stoves, electricity, were introduced.

(I would think that early Naruto was set in the 1990s, because there are advertisements, soda cans, and one of the sound ninja talks like a retro gamer. I guess the technology here would be 1930s? It’s all over the place.)

In my head it was funny while reading it. My family had some good hotpot recently which reminded me of it. Might as well share it here.

But while his parents prob named Madara after fish, the Author probably named Madara after madarakishin who is also called matarajin.

Madarakishin is celebrated in a festival in Sakuragawa, at Amabiki Kannon temple. (Kannon is the 1000 hand buddavista of mercy, which Hashirama uses.)

(Madarakishin is the red masked demon with the long hair, haha. See the resemblance?)

I can talk more about it in another post, if there is interest.

I think a lot less people would feel threatened by the prospect of a character being aroace if they learnt how to conceptualize and write character relationships and dynamics outside of sex and romance. Because as long as people think no longer being able to write both characters in their favourite dynamic being sexually and romantically attracted to each other means a loss in intimacy and closeness, they're going to see any aroasexuality as an attack on character dynamics they care about and get upset when characters are confirmed aroace, unless those characters are unshippable side characters they never really cared about so they never accidentally get invested in an aroace character.

Israel cuts Gaza's final internet line, plunging it into total communication blackout.

Israel bombed the last main fibre route in Gaza, which means that as of June 12, all internet and fixed-line communication services are now completely cut off, further isolating Gaza amidst an ongoing genocide.

I am seeing more and more calls from inside of Gaza for help with eSims as that is currently the only way they can connect internally and with the outside world.

- Buy eSIMs here.

- If you can't afford it, you can donate any amount to this eSIM fund.

- Instructions on how to buy and share eSIMs.
