does Kemurikusa actually mean anything like when I say the Monogatari Series Monogatari mean story. I was watching Yuru Camp and they mentions smoke and I don't know fro sure but it sounded a lot like Kemurikusa.

Kemuri = Smoke

Kusa = Grass

Kemuri[g]usa = Tobacco, the plant that you smoke when you do cigars/cigarettes

No one has established a plot connection with Tobacco yet. It may just be a play on words because we have leaves and there's the foggy smoke thing.

Add: I personally was trying to find a connection between "using the kemurikusa" and "somehow gaining powers" with "smoking" and "gaining... powers from smoking". But it felt like a really weird plot direction to go. "So this anime encourages smoking and says smoking gives you abilities?"

To add to what winglessangel31 said: I noticed in the last thread that smoke consist of nanoparticles floating in the air. So going with the theory that the kemurikusa consist of nanomachines (and the red fog is a nanoswarm) you could interpret Kemurikusa as "plantlike things made of nanotec".

"Smoke weed".

That's why in the 2012 original Midori leaf is rolled as a cigar.
