Satsuma refers to the Satsuma Province, one of Japan\u2019s former provinces that now forms the western half of Kagoshima Prefecture. The majority of the Satsuma Hogwarts tweets are users imagining what it would be like if there was a wizarding school located in the Satsuma of Harry Potter\u2019s<\/em> world. \uff0a\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u306e\u8a18\u4e8b\u306f\u3053\u3061\u3089<\/a><\/strong> (= the original Japanese article can be found here<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n In other words, the students of Satsuma Hogwarts settle matters with swords rather than magic. Jigen-ryu is a style of swordsmanship that places emphasis on ending battles instantly with the first strike, so no matter if an opponent attempts to cast the Disarming Charm (Expelliarmus) or the Killing Curse (Avada Kedavra), a Satsuma Hogwarts student will win the fight by cutting them down before they have even finished their incantation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jigen-ryu is also known for the especially spirited shouts used when attacking, so Satsuma Hogwarts students incant their spells with strange, intense voices\u2014something that supposedly strengthens the spell\u2019s effect. You can even see some tweets<\/a> connecting this bit of fan-made lore to the manga Golden Kamuy<\/em>, which features characters from Satsuma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Incidentally, there is a line of dialogue in Hogwarts Legacy<\/em> that references the Toyohashi Tengu, a team that competes in the Harry Potter<\/em> world\u2019s most popular sport, Quidditch. The team is based in Aichi Prefecture\u2019s Toyohashi City and was mentioned in Quidditch Through the Ages<\/em>, an official book in the Harry Potter<\/em> series. The inclusion of this Japan-related reference in Hogwarts Legacy<\/em> may have been one factor that contributed to the way that users have let their imaginations run wild with Satsuma Hogwarts.

Japanese Twitter users are having fun establishing the setting of Satsuma Hogwarts. For example, there are tweets saying<\/a> that students of Satsuma Hogwarts don\u2019t settle their battles with magic but with \u201cChesuto.\u201d The term \u201cChesuto\u201d comes from Satsuma dialect and was used as a vigorous shout in Jigen-ryu swordsmanship, which was widely used in the Satsuma Province (Number Web<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
