Ichi-go ichi-e. Ichi-go ichi-e (Japanese: 一期一会, lit.

Ichi-go ichi-e

"one time, one meeting") [it͡ɕi.ɡo it͡ɕi.e] is a Japanese four-character idiom (yojijukugo) that describes a cultural concept of treasuring the unrepeatable nature of a moment. The term has been translated as "for this time only," and "once in a lifetime.

Harley’s story has also always been entangled with that of the Joker, the Batman universe’s most iconic and sophomoric villain, who twisted her into a stranger shape and treats her like a particularly annoying stray dog. For years, Harley’s complete devotion to the chronically careless Joker was her most defining characteristic. It’s only in the last couple years that comic adaptations like “Birds of Prey: The Fantabulous Emancipation of Harley Quinn” have deigned to acknowledge that Harley might be a character worth exploring on her own terms.
