Where you hear it 9 of 42 series

Lines from the Japanese subtitles of episodes 1–3 of each show. A translation is shown only when it clearly matches the line; counts are subtitle lines containing the word.

Also in: Erased.

Usage and nuance

It is 一 (one) plus 緒 (thread), so the picture is two threads twisted into one. 一緒に (issho ni) is the adverb form and the one you hear most. Alone, 一緒だ means "it's the same".

Romance and friendship anime run on this word: Toradora, Horimiya and Your Lie in April all build scenes around 一緒に. Naruto uses it for the team.

Formal speech lifts it to ご一緒に (go-issho ni), as in a waiter asking whether you are together.
