fiery and high-spirited; brimming with passionate enthusiasm

[YouTube Dictionary] Firing on all cylinders / full of fiery enthusiasm (Kien Banjō)

Kien-banjō (気炎万丈) is a four-character idiom that means overwhelming others with blazing, fiery enthusiasm.

It’s read as “kien banjō.” Many people may have learned it from the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Interestingly, each half is also a standalone two-character compound: 気炎 (kien) means a fervor like a pillar of fire, and 万丈 (banjō) literally means “ten-thousand jō” (with 1 jō being about 3 meters), i.e., extremely long.

So, taken literally, it conveys a spirit so intense it’s like a 30,000-meter pillar of flame.

Why not propose it as a candidate while sharing this fun tidbit?
