[...] A reaction to the Jump and the fujoshi article. Which should be read even for just the mention of the second-best Het pairing(Sorry, Taikoubou/Venus is the ultimate Jump OTP) that has ever appeared in Jump! Zura and Elizabeth! XD Once again, TeniPuri is mentioned for its gayness. [...]

@tivome
Well we both have a point ne? punchlines would always be the last thing in a joke right? It is a conclusive remark that makes the joke work, as much as conclusions would always put things together. As said in the Ochi wikipedia remark, it is the conclusive aspect to the setup of the joke. As I said, you do have a point in your remark. The definition I wrote is an age old definition that I have understood from Fusami Ogi’s article on yaoi and the emergence of the genre in IJOCA.

Khursten, I think Ochi has to do with punchline rather than just “ending” as in ochiru. Ochinashi in Japanese is written as “????????????????????” as takk-kun said, and when you write OCHI in katakana like this, it’s usually refering to the punchline. It’s a word used very often in Japanese TV shows so I’ve heard a lot of it. Japanese TV is dominated by manzai-like comedic pairs like London Boots from Yoshimoto Kogyo and when one of them screwed up a punchline the other one would scream “that’s a terrible OCHI!”. If they’re old fanshioned they may even hit each other with a folded paper fan like the one Chidori used in FMP!. Anyways I’m pretty sure Ochinashi in YAOI doesn’t mean “no ending” to the Japanese.
