In America’s one of the most popular sitcom, ‘FRIENDS’, you might have come across the term- Unagi, in season 6 episode 17, ‘the one with Unagi’. In the episode, Ross Geller, one of the six main characters in the show brags about how he learnt Karate and has achieved the state of complete awareness- Unagi. While all the other FRIENDS characters disagreed with him, this left me wondering what if Ross was actually right? If you had the same question at the end of the episode then you will be happy to know that I did some digging for all the curious minds like us.

Unagi meaning

Ross can be seen telling his friends Rachel and Phoebe when they were back from a self-defense class about Unagi. “I studied Karate for a very long time and there’s a concept you should be really familiar with. It is what the Japanese call Unagi. Unagi is a state of total awareness.” “Only by true Unagi can you be prepared for any danger that may befall you.” Throughout the episode, Ross tries to show up in front of them out of the blue to surprise them and teach them the importance of Unagi.

However, in the end, Phoebe and Rachel take a revenge on him by hiding in his apartment and beating the shit out of him to make him realize that he isn’t prepared either. Well, to all the FRIENDS fan, I am sorry but Unagi has nothing to do with Karate. Of course, Ross was wrong.
