Summary
Bundai serves as an overly aggressive language instructor who resorts to kidnapping Mugen to force him into learning literacy. His pedagogical approach is wildly unorthodox, involving physical violence like punching the student for mispronunciations and psychological intimidation designed to instill an inferiority complex. While these extreme tactics appear harsh, they may actually be a form of revenge for Mugen refusing to pay a bar bill. The conflict began when Bundai, while intoxicated, harassed Mugen for being unable to read the menu, compelling him to consume a wine-like beverage while Bundai lectured him on the spiritual essence of letters. Despite the brutal nature of this instruction, the results are undeniably effective. Mugen manages to master reading and writing in a single day and even invents the infinity symbol, which he asserts represents his name.
