I’ve been learning radicals through WaniKani and, more recently, TextFugu as well. While taking notes and looking up stroke orders for some radicals, I noticed I could only find certain radicals through TextFugu and WaniKani. For example, the gun radical and the leaf radical did not appear on any lists I checked for stroke order. Most others are there though.

Yeah, Koichi’s pretty much invented his own set of radicals, along with names and mnemonics. I generally prefer to just follow the official list.
