Meaning of the kanji in the Budokai 3 Mountains stage?

Post by jrdemr » Mon Oct 12, 2015 11:25 am

In Budokai 3 (and Infinite World), in the mountains stage, there's a string of 4 kanji in a mountain on the background. The first one is 千, meaning "thousand"; the third one is 百, meaning "one hundred", but even as a 4-year Japanese student, I cannot, for the life of me, make out the other two characters. They're a bit stylized and the radicals are difficult to make out. Is there someone out there with a bit more experience in Japanese than me that can please tell me which kanji are those (and possibly the meaning of the entire sentence)?

Very funny :)

(Also, that would be "千年殺し")

(And "a thousand years of suffering" has no "hundred" anywhere)

Presumably they are the very same kanji that furnish Yamcha's hideout i.e. 千錘百煉, which is a proverb meaning "improving one's skills through training".

Holy shit, I never realized the mountains stage was actually Yamcha's desert!

Nice tidbit! Thanks for the help, Shoryuken, much obliged!
