| Headword 1 | 大国主義 |
| Reading 1 | たいこくしゅぎ |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | policy favoring major powers |
| English 2 | policy favouring major powers |
| Comment | This definition could really use some clarification primarily with regard to "standpoint". Is this:
1) a small country's policy of acquiescing to a superpower 2) a superpower bullying the world The other online dictionaries don't offer any help at all: 1) 大国主義 = "a policy favoring great powers" – Yahoo 2) 大国主義 = "great-power ambition "– Eijiro 3) Google – not found at all |

| Current Entry | 派閥 [はばつ] /(n) political faction/(P)/ |
| Headword 1 | 派閥 |
| Reading 1 | はばつ |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | political faction |
| Comment | A "faction", yes; a "political faction" I dunno. I think it can be used in a more generic "clique" sense, though I will conceded that 派閥 is most often used in the political arena. Think I might go with "faction (politics, office, military, organization, etc.)" |

| Comment | I can't find 反英雄 anywhere else. Searches elsewhere under "antihero" bring up "explanations" but no single word for antihero. Quite honestly, 反英雄 sounds a bit too "English convenient", i,e, a 直訳. |

| Editorial Comment | 反英雄 is not a common word, but I get enough hits on 反英雄 + antihero/anti-hero to be comfortable with it. |

Your key verb definition of 凝らす `freeze/congeal` looks like a form of 凍る <こおる＞to me... cheers and tks again for a useful www site |

| Comment | Pretty obvious. Just thought I'd add it for completion, especially since "好き" already has "love" as a meaning. (in the sense that's mostly synonymous with the other meanings)
In this case, I'm adding it as the first meaning. If this isn't correct, please review "好き" as well. |
