See this pic from Wikipedia. Bet it’ll be the hardest character you ever see:)

Of course it’s Chinese.

I would have thought 鬮 for 宝鬮たからくじ would have had his place somewjeee around as the stroke here is probably most unique I’ve seen around in my opinion

Nice list. By the way, 鬱 is now a Jouyou Kanji. It was added with the batch they added a few years ago (there are 2136 now)

I’ve been surprised by how many rare Kanji I’ve been running into playing visual novel games. I recall seeing 驫, but don’t remember what the context was. No idea why, but it seems like manga has a lot more kana (or at least furigana), while visual novels can be pretty unforgiving when it comes to Kanji.

Actually 魔 isn’t read as ‘oni,’ but ‘ma.’ Its etymology is as follows: phonetic 麻(ma) + semantic 鬼(demon)

Well, actually they look rather interesting. Not that I’ve seen them before but I would love to break them down and speculate why they used such radicals. Anyway, a lot of these types of kanji aren’t really used that often.

the 84-stroke character is not chinese-born. originally made in japan. so it doesn’t have chinese pronunciation. otodo, taito are japanese family names. that’s not correct.

鬱 is actually very easy to write. One of the easiest kanji to remember how to write from memory for me because it’s so unique. I learned it instantly, to be honest. High stroke count doesn’t mean much when all the radicals are quite common.
