自己中を黙らせるヤクザの心理テクニック

What does “責任転嫁” (sekinin tenka) mean?

This clip frames a manipulation countermove as a 責任転嫁ブロック (“blame-shifting block”) — something to say when someone tries to pin their own mistake on you. 責任転嫁 (sekinin tenka) is a standard, everyday phrase combining 責任 (“responsibility”) and 転嫁 (“shifting/transferring onto”), describing exactly that move: dodging blame by pushing it onto someone else.

転嫁 shows up on its own in other contexts too, like コスト転嫁 (“passing costs on,” as when a business raises prices to offset expenses) — the shared idea is always something unwanted being shifted from one party to another. The video’s invented “block” technique (asking 本気で言ってる？, “are you seriously saying that?”) is self-help content of dubious rigor, but 責任転嫁 itself is real, common vocabulary you’d hear in workplace disputes, news coverage of scandals, or a heated argument between friends — not slang coined for this video.
