User blog:Old McDonald/Number wordplay in chapter titles

Since about chapter 80, Ishida has mostly been doing number wordplay in chapter titles instead of re- puns he did since the start of :re. I collect them here so that I don't forget how some of them work.


 * Chapter 77: 死痴 = Shichi = 7
 * Chapter 80: 歯を = ha (8) o (0)
 * Chapter 81: 琲 = ha (8) i (1)
 * Chapter 82: 心臓を = heart wo ~ ha (8) two (2)
 * Chapter 83: Take the kanjis from the title 門のとじる音をきいた and combine them: 門 + 音 = 闇 (darkness, despair) = ya (8) mi (3)
 * Chapter 84: Take the kanjis from the title 羽 与えられ: 羽与 = ha (8) yo (4)
 * Chapter 85: Take the kanji from the title しろい箱: 箱 = ha (8) ko (5)
 * Chapter 86: One of the meanings of 白虹 is "halo" (and Ishida also uses that word in the chapter), so: ha (8) ro (6)
 * Chapter 87: 厭なこ = (i)ya (8) na (7) ko
 * Chapter 88: はっぱ = ha (8) ppa (8)
 * Chapter 89: From 嘔吐すべき, 嘔吐 means vomit. A synonym is 吐く = ha (8) ku (9). There's also a re-pun hidden there: re- + 嘔吐 = re- + outo = riot.
 * Chapter 90: クズ ~ kyuujuu = 九十 = 90
 * Chapter 91: No number wordplay afaics, but a re- pun: re- + ue = Reue, German for repentance.
 * Chapter 92: 醜頭 = shūzu = shoes = 靴 = ku (9) tsu (2)
 * Chapter 93: No number wordplay afaics, but a re- pun: re- + lie + f = relief.
 * Chapter 94: 広げる胸 ("the Opening (of the Heart)") is the title of the 94th surah.
 * Chapter 95: Am is the symbol of the 95th chemical element Americium.
 * Chapter 96: 疑う血 ("the Clot") is the title of the 96th surah.
 * Chapter 97: 身一つ can be read miitsu, which is the Japanse title of the 97th surah.
 * Chapter 98: 旧派 = kyuu (9) ha (8)
 * Chapter 99: Kanji math: 百 (100) minus 一 (1) = 白 (white)
