Shuichi
You know the way how Gonta was chasing us earlier?

Kaito

Shuichi

himiko

Angie
Thank you very much Shuichi!!

Gonta
BREAK A LEG???????? SHUICHI WHY YOU THREATEN FRIENDS?!!!?????

Shuichi
Oh uhh it's a figure of speech, Gonta. It's how you say 'good luck' to performers!

Gonta
Why not just say Good Luck?

Shuichi
I don't actually know... Tradition, I guess?

korekiyo
there are many different beliefs as to why performers say 'break a leg' rather than 'good luck'. one is rooted in superstition, claiming that saying 'good luck' would actually bring bad luck. so by saying 'break a leg', they would actually be wishing for the opposite to happen. instead of breaking a leg, they would put on a flawless performance. another reason is rooted in technicalities, claiming that actors who were not performing had to stay behind what is called a 'leg line', which meant they would not get paid. to 'break a leg' meant that they were crossing the leg line, wishing someone the opportunity to perform and get paid. but that's just two explanations. there are many others.

Tsumugi
We can always rely on Kiyo to give us an answer to something like this.

Gonta
Wow. So saying 'break a leg' is very gentleman-like?

korekiyo
yes, i'd say so

Gonta
Okay. Break a leg Himiko!

himiko
thank you gonta

Gonta
:)
