その巨人の腹をかっさいた manga sentence


The complete sentence is this:

ハンジは仲間を喰った

その巨人の腹をかっさいた

I can't really understand the meaning, why is it ハンジは istead of ハンジの？

Then we have 腹をかっさいた. 腹 means stomach while かっさい means to cheer, to make an
ovation?

Thanks for your help.




It needs to be ハンジは and not ハンジの because it is the subject that performed the
two actions described --- 「[仲間]{なかま}を[喰]{く}った」 and
「その[巨人]{きょじん}の[腹]{はら}をかっさいた」.

「その巨人」 refers to the 「仲間」.

「かっさいた」 ＝ 「かっ裂いた」 = "ripped open" said in the animated tough guy language
using 「かっ」, a verb prefix for that purpose.

"Haiji ate his friend. He ripped open the giant's abdomen."

For your reference, other emphatic verb prefixes include
「おっ」、「つっ」、「とっ」、「ひっ」、「ぶっ」、「ぶん」, etc. Unfortunately, these are rarely
interchangeable. I will not get into that here, though.
