Indignation; anger; resentment; outrage. A burning sense of anger arising from perceived injustice or moral wrong.

From the verb 憤る (ikidooru), expressing righteous anger over unfairness or wrongdoing. Unlike 怒り (ikari, simple anger), 憤り carries a strong moral dimension — it is the anger of someone who has witnessed an injustice. Common patterns include 憤りを覚える (to feel indignation) and 憤りが高まる (indignation grows). Frequently encountered in political, social justice, and literary contexts.
