This could be an entirely new anime. "Ganjifa: Ganja Masters"

[hnbad]

The name is unrelated to "ganja" (cannabis) except for a shared word root of "ganj" (treasure). I don't know what the anime would be about but the title makes as much sense as "Harry Potter: Pot Master".

Yeah, from my knowledge of Hindi and a few other Indo-European languages I can't think of any other word with the ganj- root/sound either. Another example (probably still closer etymologically) would be Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stoned.

What's the etymology of the poster's account, "thunderbong"?

[breakingcups]

I mean, I'd watch that..

That’s how poetry works

[relaxing]

Yeah, it rules.

If you haven't seen it, there's Chihayafuru [0] which is an anime with the japanese card game, karuta (which comes from the portuguese "carta" for "card").

About as exciting as thinking bonsai and banzai are related.

To be fair, thinking that would be completely fair for an English speaker being exposed to spoken Japanese, with how much more common homophones are in it compared to English.

Well they rhyme so … depending on context you could probably construct a fairly impactful verse or quip
