Mnemonic

You're sitting on a stool and someone cleats you in the forehead as part of an acceptance ritual. It's for the most prestigious Spanish soccer club in the world. You got knocked off the stool, and the cleats really hurt your forehead, but you're just glad to have been accepted.

This kanji also means receive, which is quite similar to accept. It shouldn't be too hard to remember.

Hints

You’re dealing with a lot of mixed emotions right now. You feel the pain from being cleated in the forehead and knocked clean off your stool, but you’re also glad to have finally been accepted into the soccer club. Suppress your pain. Accept this honor.

Mnemonic

After you've been accepted, they give you a small juice (じゅ) box to help you recover from the trauma of getting kicked. And you receive it with grace.

Hints

Did you ever play soccer as a kid? Do you remember accepting a small juice box into your little kid hands during halftime? Apparently pros drink the same ones.
