勇猛果敢
- Meaning
- 勇ましく強く決断力をもって物事に立ち向かうこと
- Explanation
- "勇猛果敢" means being brave and fierce, and on top of that, deciding boldly and carrying things out. It is a term praising the stance of taking on difficulties or strong foes daringly without flinching. Note that c3 leans toward recklessness with "daring to challenge but not caring about the result", missing the core of decisive judgment and the ability to act.
Original Japanese explanation
「勇猛果敢」は、勇ましく猛々しいうえに、思い切りよく決断して物事を実行することをいう。困難や強敵にひるまず大胆に挑む姿勢を称える語。c3 は「敢えて挑むが結果は問わない」と無謀さに寄せた説明で、果断な決断力と実行力という核心を外している点に注意。
