Did you know?
- In Japanese, the word 呪い 'noroi' meaning 'curse' is derived from the verb meaning 'to pray'. This creates a linguistic link between the act of wishing something for someone and the act of cursing them.
- The word 呪術 'jujutsu' is a real term referring to ancient occult practices or shamanism, but it is distinct from the martial art 柔術 'jujutsu'. While they sound identical, the former refers to magic and the latter to physical combat.
- While the phrase refers to a supernatural power, the word 式 (shiki) in 'jujutsushiki' is the same character used to describe a mathematical formula or a formal ceremony.
