I too always feel proud when my Japanese lessons are paying off. :3

I don't even take lessons yet but I play shōgi (Japanese chess) and therefore have contact with native speakers and a lot of material is in Japanese (not to mention the very pieces are kanjis). So I did what everyone would do: I downloaded a bunch of apps from F-Droid to learn Kana and Kanji and procrastinate on deepening my knowledge in the future

I always find Katakana the easiest bc of the words being (mostly English) loanwords that got kanafied.

I never thought about it that way. I find hiragana easier because I started with it and I think there are more similar katakana than hiragana but both have their share

Forget the one on the left. It hasn't been played by any significant number of people for literal centuries. Today's shōgi is 9x9 and has 8 district pieces which isn't much more than western chess with 8x8 and 6 distinct pieces

Okay but have you considered that dai shogi has a drunk elephant piece which promotes to prince which, naturally, becomes a new king should your current one be captured?

(I've only actually played standard modern shogi, but reading about these bonkers historical variants is a lot of fun.)

True, the world building is great. They don't make this kind of games anymore. Imagine a modern protagonist with this background story:
"I was an elephant but so drunk, I traveled to the end of the world. There I kissed a peasant girl and turned into a prince so when I went back, I was the king."
