In simple terms, libido is another word used to describe life force, or orgone energy. You can think of it like mana.

  Orgone energy is a hypothetical universal life force originally proposed in the 1930s by Wilhelm Reich. -source

To answer your second question (paraphrasing from the source article):
Libido generates orgone energy, so:

No libido -> no orgone energy -> no life.


Are any of these One PIece characters based on real people like this image suggests?

I can't validate the genuineness of the link contents, but this is what I could find: Character Inspirations for Oda.

  Aokiji/Kuzan
  Kuzan has been confirmed to be based on the late actor Yasaku Matsuda. One of the characters the actor played even had similar hairstyle, clothing and sleep mask design. Kuzan's birthday is also based on Matsuda's. Kuzan's nick-name (Aokiji) is taken from the Momotaro Legends.

  Akainu/Sakazuki
  Akainu has been confirmed to be based on the famous Japanese actor, Bunta Sugawara. Akainu's real name, Sakazuki is apparently based on the three movies of Bunta Sugawara with "Sakazuki" in the title. Akainu's birthday is also based on Sugawara's. The name "Akainu" is taken from the Momotaro Legends.

  Basil Hawkins
  It has been confirmed that Hawkins' name is derived from a real life pirate and a navigator. His given name came from Basil Ringrose, while his surname came from John Hawkins.

  Boa Hancock, Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold
  The three sisters are based on the Gorgon Sisters from Greek Mythology.

  Capone Bege
  It has been confirmed that Capone Bege is named after the real life 1920's gangster, Alphonse "Al" Capone. His inspiration is both from Capone as well as the English privateer, William le Sauvage. He also shares his birthday with Al Capone.

  Emporio Ivankov
  Is confirmed to be inspired from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Specifically, Ivankov's look is based on Tim Curry's Dr. Frank-N-Furter role. His tendency to call people "candies" could be a reference to a line from the Rocky Horror song 'Sweet Transvestite', "...he thought you were the candy man." Another similarity the two have is the fact that they can both turn men into transvestites.

  Enel
  Is based on a Japanese mythological "thunder god" known as Raijin.

  Eustass Kid
  It has been confirmed that Kid is named after a real life pirate, William Kidd, who was also nicknamed "Captain". His surname is taken from Eustace the Monk, another real life pirate.

  Fujitora/Issho
  Fujitora has been confirmed to be based on the Japanese actor Shintaro Katsu, more specifically his role as Zatoichi, the blind swordsman.

  Hannyabal
  Although not confirmed, many believe Hannyabal is based on the the Hannya mask.

  Jewelry Bonney
  It has been confirmed and Bonney is named after the real-life 18th century Irish female pirate Anne Bonny, a noble turned pirate, who operated in the Caribbean.

  Kizaru/Borasalino
  Kizaru has been confirmed to be based on the Japanese Actor Kunie Tanaka, Kizaru's clothes, real name (Borsalino) and birthday, are apparently based on a movie character that Kunie Tanaka played in his youth. His nick-name "Kizaru" is taken from the Momotaro Legends.

  Sabo
  Is possibly inspired by Artful Dodger, a character in Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. The characters share similar style's of clothing (top hat, sleeves, etc) and they are both of "mischievous" group of children.

  Sanjuan Wolf
  Known as the "Colossal Battleship" is possibly based on the Spanish Battleship/Warship San Juan Nepomuceno. The warship also participated in the "Battle Of Trafalgar".

  Scratchmen Apoo
  It has been confirmed that Apoo's name is derived from real life Chinese pirate, Chui A-poo.

  Sentomaru
  Is possibly based on the Japanese folklore hero Kintarō (also known as samurai Sakata no Kintoki), who was notable for wearing nothing but a bib, carrying a massive axe, and sumo wrestling with bears. Additionally, his attack, Ashigara Dokkoi, is a pun on Mt. Ashigara, the place where Kintaro was raised.

  Shiliew
  Is possibly inspired by Yasunori Kato, a fictional character.

  Trafalgar Law
  It has been confirmed that Law's name is derived from real life pirate Edward Low. Law's apparently infamous cruelty echoes Edward Low's own reputation for violently torturing victims before killing them.

  Vander Decken IX
  Not officially confirmed, but Vander Decken IX is inspired by the Flying Dutchman legend. He is the captain of the ship "Flying Dutchman" and as a Fishman, Vander Decken is a devil fruit user making him unable to swim, where as most other adaptations portray the captain in a human form who cannot step onto land.

  Whitebeard and Blackbeard
  Both are inspired by real life pirate known as Edward Teach. Whitebeard's character design and traits are also confirmed to be based on the owner of the pub Oda liked going to. The owner often sat down in the store with medical equipment hooked up to his nose and drank, calling sake "medicine" while telling war stories.

  Whitebeard's own line in his first appearance, "I'm not talking to any snot-nosed airheads." was in fact an exact phrase the owner often said to customers. Unfortunately, the pub owner passed away by the time Oda revealed this fact.

  Urouge
  It has been confirmed that Urouge's name comes from the real life 16th century Turkish pirate, Oruc, one of the Barbarossa brothers.

  X Drake
  It has been confirmed that Drake's name is based on real life privateer, Sir Francis Drake.


How long are people genin before they take the chunin exam?

The exams happen twice a year. The genins that participate are chosen by their group leaders. So if the group leader is of the opinion, that they are ready at age 6, he sends the genin to the exams, if he's of the opinion that they are not ready yet, he lets them wait. There is no special requirement to take the exams (at least nothing was mentioned), it's just the group leader who decides. This can be seen in chapter 35, when Kakashi, Kurenai and Asuma suggest their team for the exams. Although Iruka protests, he can't do anything against it. That does not mean, that the genin can't decide against it, though. A ninja can't be forced by his group leader to do the exam.


What were the first anime based on manga and light novels?

While not the most scientific method, one could generate a list of anime entries over at Anime News Network, sort it by order and see what is the earliest entry in their database that fits the criterion we're looking for. Here would be an example of such a list.

Obviously the service's database is most likely incomplete, but regardless, it is still an authoritative source for anime information, and given the size, and time range of the database, it can be trusted as a good estimation.

First anime based off of manga:

Astro Boy, 1963

First anime based off light novels:

Legend of the Galactic Heroes (OAV) 1988
Slayers (1995)


How does Jigglypuff not fall asleep from its own song?

At first: As kuwaly mentioned, normally no one falls asleep while singing a lullaby. That's most likely the reason, but there are other possible points:

Like in the game, Pokémon using Sing aren't affected by the attack. This was most likely done to make this move usable, and was copied in the anime so the viewers aren't confused.
Some of the Pokédex-entries suggest, that you need to look in the eyes of Jigglypuff to be affected. As a Jigglypuff can't look itself in the eyes, it can't fall asleep. You can read the entries on Bulbapedia.

I also think I remember other Jigglypuffs falling asleep, too, but I'm not sure. That would mean, that Jigglypuffs aren't immune to the singing, but just aren't affected by their own attack.


Is there an explanation to the "exponential" growth of power levels in Z fighters?

One possible answer is that Saiyans get way more powerful than before if they agonize (and survive). It's called Zenkai. This ability is found in pure Saiyan, half-blood and even Cell.

One example is when Gohan fights Cell, kicks him around, but refuses to kill him. This allows Cell to recover and get way stronger than before, making it very difficult to Gohan to kill him, even with help of other warriors, Vegeta and even dead Goku. In retrospect, Gohan could have single-handedly kill Cell, but he didn't do so at the beginning of their fight.

Not by coincidence, this "ability" make every fight involving Saiyan longer and with plot-twists.

Source: Zenkai - Dragon Ball Wiki


During Frieza Saga, why weren't the other Saiyans like Goku's father be revived with their wish?

Because the wish was for Namek only.

During the final battle of Gokū and Freeza on Namek, Mr. Popo used the Dragon Balls and wished for the revival of all the people on Namek who were killed by Freeza and his men. (Granted)

Source: List of Wishes > Shenron (7th dot point)
This means of course anyone who was killed, either directly or indirectly by Frieza and his army and were not on Namek was not revived.
Should also note that Shenron's power can't surpass his creator and reviving all of those who have been killed by Frieza universe-wide would no doubt be beyond Kami's (and later Dende's) power since there are probably untold millions killed just from being on a planet Frieza blew up.
Super Shenron on the other hand can grant a wish without limitation, so would be the better choice for such a wish (Beerus has claimed Super Shenron could destroy an entire universe if wished to, quite sure reviving a whole bunch of people like that is dwarfed to the opposite of destroying a universe)


Can Stand users de-summon their Stand whenever they want?

If you felt like you were being punched in the stomach would you be able to run. The answer is no because you would be in pain it is kinda like that for stands as stands are a physical manifestation of the soul.
Also removing your stand in the middle of a fight would be suicide for example hanged man and emperor did damage to people's actual bodies without touching their stands


What is the significance of the recurring dancing bear?

I think it's not a bear, it's a tiger (Tora). And according to wiki his name is Tanker-kun.

For now it's some kind of mascot (no further details), because Hamatora (ハマトラ) means "Beach Tiger". And Tanker-kun always use sailor suit, so for now we can assume he's mascot of Hamatora.


Neito Monoma couldn't use Eri's Quirk, because it is not compatible with his own Quirk.

Although Neito Monoma can indeed copy any Quirk, he only copies them in their "base" state. We could say Neito Monoma obtains the Quirk as if he was a baby and the Quirk manifested for the first time.

When Neito Monoma tried to copy Deku's Quirk, he found himself devoid of any super-strength. As he explains himself in Chapter 217, since Neito copies Quirks in their base state, any Quirk that needs to charge up or stock something over time to function is useless to him. He correctly guessed that Deku's Quirk only stockpiled strength over time and didn't simply grant him super-strength. Similarly, Neito Monoma cannot use Fat Gum's Quirk as it relies on cultivated reserves of fat to function.

We have seen that Eri's Quirk, Rewind, depends on the length of her horn to function. As she uses her power, she depletes her reserves and her horn gradually shrinks. This means she had to grow and cultivate that horn to use her power ; in other words, Rewind needs to stockpile something to function.

Since Neito Monoma's copied Quirks can only for only 10 minutes at most, he absolutely does not have the time to stockpile whatever Eri needs to activate her Quirk.


What would happen if you died in normal SAO before the Kayaba announcement?

“I understand your feelings...I never thought there would actually
  be such a dream item. «Nicholas’s bag contains a legendary item that
  can bring the dead back to life.» ...but...like most people, I think that
  was just a lie. Or rather than call it a lie, I mean it might be a left over
  speech for NPCs for when SAO was just an ordinary VRMMO...that is,
  originally, this item would have revived people without the conditions
  of the «Death Penalty». But, the SAO now has no such thing. There is
  only one penalty, and that is the player’s life. I don’t want to recall that
  event, but this was said first day on the clearing by that Kayaba fellow.”
  from the chapter Red-nosed Reindeer of the second volume

It seems that there was some kind of penalty for dying. This might have been a similar one as in ALO, considering that it was based on a copy of the SAO server, i.e. the loss of some skill levels.
Another consequence of dying was that the player respawned at the starting town.

  I must have died at least 100 times during the two months of beta
  testing. I had re-spawned with a slightly embarrassed smile on my face
  in the palace north of the main plaza, the «Black Iron Palace», and ran
  off into the hunting grounds again.
  from chapter 3 of the first volume


In short not possible.
When madara was called by endo tensei he had his sharingan, even he showed the five kages the power of rinnegan . When he was brought back to alive by Obito, he was blind as his original eyes were given to Pain. This proves that you can't simply use endo tensei to manipulate body parts. Releasing a person from endo tensei simply means he/she is free to move on their own will, just like madara when he managed to release himself from kabuto's control.


Were the Jail Scaglietti clones removed from all of The Numbers?

The clones are never mentioned again in the series. One possible explanation is that they were supposed to trigger in case of Jail Scaglietti's death; but he is still alive, in a maximum security orbital prison.


What powers does Araragi have after he was cured?

[Potentially incomplete answer. I have only watched the anime and read "Tsubasa Song", and I suspect that there would be more information in the light novels. Some referencing from the Wikia entry for Araragi, since I needed something to jog my memory.]

Through-out the series, we see a couple different traits that were presumably acquired as a result of having become a vampire:

Firstly, Araragi has various healing powers. For instance, even after being attacked by staplers in the beginning of Bakemonogatari, it seems that his mouth was able to heal very quickly. Moreover, in Nekomonogatari Black, he heals Hanekawa's wound with some of his blood.
In the Hachikuji arc, Araragi reads Hachikuji's name off of her bag. I don't remember the scene very well, but Senjougahara is unable to see the name. Araragi is not aware -- at that point in time -- that Senjougahara is unable to see Hachikuji. Rather (per a discussion on TV Tropes that I read -- see "one dialogue, two conversations" -- and my memory of the scene), he assumes that he was able to read the name because of some enhanced vampiric vision.
In Nisemonogatari, we see Araragi being hesitant to spar with his sisters. This is because he doesn't want to harm them because of the super-human strength he has acquired.
Later, Araragi removes some of the poison that has been making Karen feverish. However, it's not clear if this is just a vampire ability or a result of the fact that given that the fever is supernaturally generated, he can remove some of it. Without more information, I would assume that it's probably the latter.

Most definitely at least during the events of Bakemonogatari in the in-universe chronology, if not after it, Araragi has a conversation with Meme Oshino (or possibly with Shinobu -- I don't remember which).

   He is told that he has the option of becoming entirely human again, provided that he does not feed Shinobu his blood. Moreover, in "Tsukimonogatari", we see that Araragi is slowly becoming a vampire -- he can't see his reflection anymore, and Shinobu closes the blinds in his room to prevent him from contacting sunlight.

The above suggests that the exact abilities Araragi has are dependent on how much blood Shinobu has been allowed to suck from him -- we see, for instance, in "Suruga Monkey", that Araragi preemptively lets Shinobu suck blood from him to ensure that he won't straight-out die from being attacked by Kanbaru. Furthermore, Araragi's exact abilities eventually change.

But in any case, normally speaking (i.e. when he hasn't let Shinobu suck a lot of his blood), Araragi's abilities seem to essentially be slight improvements of normal human physical abilities (of sight, strength, healing), and nothing more than that. For instance, unlike Shinobu:

   Araragi is incapable of time-travelling alone -- it's Shinobu who creates a portal to the past in "Mayoi Jiangshi" -- and we never see him travel at really high speeds when he is "normal" (whereas Shinobu presumably did when she escaped with a man to Antarctica).


Is an uncensored release of "Dakara, Boku wa H! ga Dekinai" released yet

All six BD/DVD volumes of Dakara, Boku wa H ga Dekinai have been released in Japan, and Volume 6 was released on February 20th, 2013. The BD version is uncensored as far as it is allowed for a non R18+ work.

Here are a few comparison screenshots from Kira Reviews. TV version on the left, uncensored BD version on the right. Both images are from volume 1 (episode 1 and 2).


Did all the townsfolk know that Yuki is a wolf?

Probably no.

Nothing in the movie tells us that the people knew but decided to say nothing. If this was the case, I think there would be more details in the movie telling it.

Furthermore, if you imagine normal people, thinking that someone can transform into a wolf is not the first idea you will get. So even if you see a dog with some cloth just after seeing a little girl with similar clothes, you are not going to think "hey, the girl transformed into a dog/wolf !" or if you think/say it, it's only to make a joke, because you cannot imagine it to be true.

The goal of this scene is to give the spectator this feeling of "it was so close, the townsfolk nearly discovered the truth" which makes it a funny scene. Also, it explains that being the mother of such children is no easy, because there are probably many times when someone was nearly about to discover the truth.


Why did Ash became a child back in Sun Moon Series?

Ash Ketchum has, and will always be, 10 years of age. Sun and Moon has only changed the art style and focus of the anime. Whilst Pokemon of old had some comedy in it, Sun and Moon has made it a priority.

source for age: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ash_Ketchum


Why does Roy Mustang's flame alchemy work?

All we know about how Flame alchemy works is described in the question.  As you note the description is incomplete.

That being said, we do know that creating flames in this way is a very complicated process and is a closely guarded secret.  This secret was tattooed on the Hawkeye's back by its creator and entrusted by Hawkeye only to Mustang.  A full explanation in-universe would, therefore, not make much sense.

We might never know what the exact mechanism is and it is not necessary to understand the story.

I can come up with several head-canons to justify this physics:

The mechanism does not necessarily involve chemistry. The Crimson
Alchemist creates explosions by combining contradictory alchemical
symbols.
An unstable explosive such as tetranitromethane or nitroglycerin could be formed in gaseous state.
My preferred one is for Mustang to produce large quantities of nitric oxide (NO). There is a slow reaction where 2NO -> N2 + O2 which is exothermic but NO is considered non-flammable. This is because the reaction is slow without a catalyst because the NO molecules have to collide to react.  At very high concentrations with other chemicals, a spark, and magic (alchemy), I like to imagine Mustang can induce a suitable violent reaction which I couldn't get to working in a lab.  The actual difficulty is finding a high heat of formation molecule containing only N, O, and C stable enough to disperse harmlessly without decomposing if he can't ignite it.  Several such compounds probably exist but it isn't necessarily something that if familiar or can even has been synthesized in the real world.  I suspect NO is too stable but is a starting point. NO (nitric oxide) explosions have been observed and require a spark to get started but also require some other fuel to be present.

Further speculation would constitute a fan theory so would be off topic on this site. I hope, however, this is enough to show you that an explanation is conceptually possible if not available (or possibly even known by the creator).


What is the weapon Adlet uses to spit fire called?

I could not find a real world equivalent to this device. The closest thing that I can compare it to is when someone has a torch and they spit some alcohol through the flame.

Adlet most likely came up with this device through his extensive years of training with Atoro.


Why was Palm sent on the mission to see the king and his guards?

Palm was sent into the compound with some other women to serve as a secretary to Director Bizeff. This as we all know is a farce the idea is that Palm will try to infiltrate the compound further to gain knowledge on the Royal Guard and the King. If you remember that she is an Enhancement Nen user and contains Clairvoyance that pre-ant transformation she could:

  Palm is a clairvoyant. Her ability requires her to feed her own blood to a dried merman corpse carrying a crystal ball. After fulfilling this condition, Palm becomes able to track the location of anyone she has seen with her own eyes.

She was attempting to just catch a glimpse of the King so that she could track him. In a covert operation any information that can be gained can drastically change the outcome. Up to this point no has had any information on the two royal guards and king besides what Colt possibly told them. It may seem illogical to most people but if there is even a chance to gain the upper hand against a powerful opponent most people will take it. We also need to remember that she is a hunter and every hunter knows that going into a job doesn't necessarily mean they will come out alive.

Just imagine if she was able to relay information to the others on the location of the King. Would Komugi have been hurt by the Dragon Dive? Maybe the operation would have changed and they would have bypassed the Royal Guard and ambushed the King directly.

TL:DR - Was basically just a grab for information.


Rem's encounter with Subaru at the end of episode 5

The short answer is... Yes, he was killed because of his witch smell.

Rem is very suspicious of Subaru in this time frame. He is a new person, entering a household she has grown to love. Now think about it: if a new person, Subaru, comes in, has distinct clothing that she's never seen before, is very 'friendly' with Emilia the main guest of the house, and smells like the witch. It's not looking good for our favourite little protagonist in her eyes.

Furthermore, we saw a scene somewhere in there where Roswaald whispered to Rem (and Ram I think) to keep an eye on him, as he was also suspicious, feeding her the seed of doubt about Subaru, even more so than before. Everyone was suspicious. He could have been a potential threat to their claim for the kingdom's throne.

Now we move onto Rem's personal reasoning.

This part is a spoiler for a later episode. If you don't want to know spoilers, don't read this part.

   As we know, Rem's family and her whole village, aside from herself and her sister, were killed by the witch's cultists, an organisation that, as stated, worships the Jealous Witch. Now think Subaru, a suspicious character who just appeared, smells just like the witch.

   We can tell from this that she has a personal grudge against him for this. In conclusion: Yes, you're correct. Rem killed Subaru because he smelled like the witch, which she had personal history with.

Edit 1:

   I believe the change in Rem around Subaru could be an inkling of sympathy for him. For example, when he wakes up, he is sporadic, screams and then realizes the twins are looking over him, at which point he is back to his 'playful, energized' self.

 I feel like she would see him as a 'madman' who isn't right in the head, to the extent that she is friendly with him, as to not convey her concern or trigger his madness. It could also be that she doesn't want to show disrespect to him, as he is a house guest, doing so would tarnish her own reputation, so in public, it is best to stay friendly.

Edit 2:

As the question states, 'Am I wrong?' about the dual personality of Rem. Personally, I believe you're right and wrong at the same time. I believe they're the same personality. It's just that Rem is putting on a brave face whenever she smiles. A quote I very much like, which I heard from someone, is "Don't trust someone just because the smile." I think that applies here.

Rem smiles a lot, due to the fact that she has to keep a brave face, as to not disappoint her sister, as well as to not tarnish the manor's professionalism.

Think of it, in terms of two girls.
Girl 1 (Rem) is weaker than Girl 2.
Girl 2 (Ram) was stronger, though lost her weapon, so she's now weak and can't use a weapon anymore.

If Girl 1 were to just sulk and throw her weapon away, when she can very well still use it, how would that make Girl 2 feel? This could also be why she keeps a smile on her face. She's that used to putting up her smile, to not disappoint her sister, that she does it with everyone. It's become a natural thing.

Now onto the subtitles on the last picture you included, as they reminded me of something else.

She said "My time has been stopped". As in, there was no way for her to move past that incident that she was stuck in her own madness, revenge stricken madness. Subaru comes along and saves her from this, later down the line, so that her time keeps moving (I'm not really sure how, I'd have to watch the episodes again).

However, this doesn't necessarily mean that the reason you provided was the right one. She stopped trying to kill him, as she realized, through talking to him, through spending time with him, that he was actually a trustworthy character, in the sense that he wasn't anything to do with the witch's cult.

He openly admitted to her that he smelled like the witch. He wasn't trying to hide the fact, he was also unsure of why it existed. Rem's a perceptive little demon, so she picked up on how his emotions and expressions were in the end: trustworthy.

However, having only just met him in episodes 5/6, he was just another witch's disciple, a threat she had to eliminate for her own gain, for the revenge of her family, her sister and herself.


Why are there no online stores that sell manga in PDF format for the English translation?

As a PC guy that uses spare time to research on DRM, I can tell you that PDF (Portable Document Format) sucks at protecting content in redistribution (in any form including printing, copying, uploading, etc.). There are two reasons:

PDF is made for an easy exchange of document without worrying compatibility between different writing software
there are no (as far as I know) universal DRM solution for PDF. Adobe DRM won't work on PDF-XChange Reader and vice versa. Some of them use customized PDF format which only specific application could read, thus limits the portability.

In publisher's perspective, the second point is the thing that they don't want to see: bypassing DRM protection. As PDF properties, it becomes the less ideal media. To protect their revenue and IP, they're more willing to use a custom proprietary format because the benefits it provides outweighs the drawbacks.

Source:

The History of PDF (Paragraph 3, 2017)
Adobe Digital Edition uses ACSM file (a customized XML) with resource IDs inside rather that actual content. Other application couldn't get the content except ADE. (Adobe Digital Edition)
There are tools to remove ADE protection and convert them into plain PDF or EPUB. I won't post a link so please Google yourself.


No, this is just the special weakness of that particular Devil Fruit.

I mean, Luffy eats everything, nearly everywhere. And in the most dishes there is salt, or how do you cook you spaghetti?

Another instance to prove my opinion is that Luffy had gone underwater several times and had nearly drowned. In the process, he also "ate" salt, but it had no effect, like losing his Devil Fruit power.


Is it possible that Itachi knew the truth about Tobi being Obito and not Madara?

Itachi clearly knew that Obito was the true leader of the Akatsuki, and he also knew of and feared Obito's (Sharingan) abilities, hence placing his own Mangekyo Sharingan on Sasuke and setting it so that Amaterasu activated when in the vicinity of Obito's Sharingan. Additionally, Itachi also had knowledge of his grudge against Konohagakure, which is why he confronted Obito/Tobi/Madara before the Uchiha clan massacre. However, Itachi never clearly states his knowledge of Obito's true identity, and also, Obito states during his first encounter with Sasuke that Itachi clearly knew more than he let on. It is never stated if Itachi knows that Tobi is Obito, but he clearly knew a lot about Obito.


Which are all the S and A class heroes whom Garou fought?

This will include spoilers of necessity.  I'll mention the webcomic appearances for S-class (I think the manga covers all of the A-class he fought in the webcomic already, but I won't quite guarantee it).  Though keep in mind there are differences between the webcomic and manga.

S-class

Metal bat
Genos
Bang
Watchdog Man
Tanktop Master
King (sort of)

In the webcomic he also fights:

   Everyone else except Blast, Metal Knight, and Drive Knight.  In several cases he fights three or more of them at the same time.

A-class

Blue Fire
Heavy Tank Loincloth
Magic Trick Man
Golden Ball
Spring Mustachio
Death Gatling
Smile Man
Stinger
Chain'n'toad

There's also a smattering of B-class heroes and even Mumen Rider, and a host of monsters that were classed as Demon or Dragon level threats.  A list of manga battles Garou has fought can be found here.


Who was Headmistress of Beacon versing in Episode 1: Ruby Red Rose?

It is revealed that the woman was Cinder:

  Cinder Fall is a character in the world of RWBY. She appears to be affiliated with Roman Torchwick in some way, perhaps controlling, or at least coercing, Roman rather than cooperating with him

She is definitely a main character, she is also the antagonist and was the exact same woman that the headmistress was fighting against.


How did Isaac and Miria became immortals?

Same way as Gandors and Martellos.

  Box with elixir of immortality went from what's-his-name brewer to Dallas Genoard, who then left it at Gandors' place. On Scilard's orders, Dallas recovered the box, but then he was robbed by Isaac & Miria, who took the box with them to Firo's inauguration party, where all present drank the elixir.


Why are manga read from right to left? Has it always been so?

The traditional Japanese written language goes from right to left.
Books in Japan tend to start from the "right-most" side.  It's only natural that manga publications follow the same format.

Traditionally, Japanese is written in a format called tategaki (縦書き?),
which copies the traditional Chinese system. In this format, the
characters are written in columns going from top to bottom, with
columns ordered from right to left. After reaching the bottom of each
column, the reader continues at the top of the column to the left of
the current one.
Modern Japanese also uses another writing format, called yokogaki
(横書き?). This writing format is horizontal and reads from left to
right, just like English.
A book printed in tategaki opens from what a Westerner would call the
back, while a book printed in yokogaki opens from what traditionally
in Japan would have been considered the back.

A manga about a skilled surgeon who operates on the president's heart and removes worm-like parasites in the first chapter

After googling to no avail, I tried searching for "surgeon" on mangaupdates and go through the list of result. Among the results, K2 has a similar art style, but the synopsis is a bit different from what I remembered, so I check out the prequels Super Doctor K and Doctor K via Google and found the manga I was looking for in Vietnamese.

The image below is from volume 1 chapter 4 showing parasites on the heart:

Since I still don't know the exact title of the manga, I check the Wikipedia article of Super Doctor K. The manga was serialized from 1988 to 1998. While the series' name stayed unchanged in the magazine, it was changed to Doctor K for tankoubon released after 1996. The synopsis of Doctor K on Wikipedia matches the description in the question:

What links "Luluco Space Patrol" and "Kill La Kill"?

My question is: what links those two shows? Same editor/writer?

Same everything, pretty much. Both shows are original IPs by Trigger (the animation studio), directed by studio founder Imaishi Hiroyuki, and I assume that many other staff members worked on both shows.

Trigger (or maybe it's just Imaishi) is known to be fond of reference humor - there were, for example, oblique references to Kill la Kill even in Inou Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de, the latter of which was an adaptation of a non-Trigger IP. Given the opportunity to reference one of their own IPs from another of their own IPs - which means they don't have to tiptoe around copyright issues - the results are what you see in episode 7 of Space Patrol Luluco.

In addition to the Kill la Kill thing in episode 7, there's also Little Witch Academia in episode 8; Sex & Violence with Machspeed in episode 9; and Inferno Cop in episode 11. These three things are also original Trigger IPs.


TL;DR: He never changed sides.

Suzaku's allegiance remained with the Britannia Empire the whole series. After the events in C world that culminated with the Emperor's death, Lelouch became the new Emperor, and it was only logical that Suzaku would serve Britannia's Emperor, Lelouch.

Both Lelouch and Suzaku had the same goal: to restore Britannia and end the corruption. Suzaku wanted to do it by working WITHIN the system, Lelouch would do it by the fastest means available. That is why they were at odds before the Emperor's death. Once Lelouch became part of the system, that rivalry ended.

Also, Lelouch had already used Geass on Suzaku in the first season, by ordering him

  To Live!

that was triggered anytime Suzaku was at a risk of death, most of the time improving his combat edge.

Lelouch could use Geass more than once on an individual, only if Orange-kun used his Geass Canceler between uses. Happened only once in the whole series, with Shirley: he used it once to eraser her memory, then Orange-kun wiped that effect, and later while she was dying on Lelouch hands, he commanded her to live, but she was unable to carry that and died anyway.

Agreeing to the Zero Requiem plan suited Suzaku on several levels.
He would

Serve his Emperor's (Lelouch's) orders,
Avenge Euphemia (by killing
Lelouch),
Clear his slate with Karen (by being dead, or even if he
was unmasked as Zero afterwards, she would still be ok, I guess),
And stay in a position able to defend Nunnally forever.


What is the magazine the Dark Lord reads?

Based on the textual factors, the magazine shown is very likely a reference to 月刊サンデージェネックス (Monthly Sunday Gene-X), which is also known as 月刊サンデーGX.

Let us have a closer look at the magazine in the picture:

"月刊" printed at the top, and "Monthly Yonday" printed vertically at the side of the spine of the magazine tell us that it is a monthly magazine.
The text at the bottom of the spine reads "Kougakukan", which is most likely a reference to Shougakukan (小学館), which is the publisher of the actual magazine 月刊サンデーGX.
The logo of the magazine (月刊ヨンデーFF) has close resemblance to the logo of 月刊サンデーGX. There is also the fact that there is only a difference of 1 Katakana, and how 2 English alphabet is used at the end of the name.

Logo is taken from http://sundaygx.com/

However, the logo as seen from the spine of 月刊サンデーGX magazine doesn't perfectly match up with the image from Hataraku Maou-sama. The screenshot below show how the spine of the magazine in 2006/2007 looks like (can't find a more recent image). The word 月刊 is separated from サ in the actual magazine, compared to the fictional magazine in Hataraku Maou-sama, where 月刊 is placed on top of ヨ. There might be a second reference here that I do not know of.

TVTropes calls it the "Cross-Popping Veins", and Wikipedia as well as other blogs and sources seem to be comfortable backing up that term. Other terms include "Bulging Vein" or "# Mark".
As their name suggests, they were inspired by a physiological effect many people have; when they become excessively angry or tense, their blood pressure rises and muscle tension builds, forcing veins to the surface.

Angry characters may exhibit a "vein" or "stress mark" effect, where lines representing bulging veins will appear on their forehead. (Wikipedia)
In real life, bulging veins are usually a sign of physiological changes, such as aging or diseases. Strong emotion pumps blood faster, thus making it more protrudent. (TVTropes)

Obviously, the cross- or Y-shaped markings are oversimplified and cartoon-like versions of these veins, but are still representative of this reaction.
The first use of this icon does not seem to be recorded, nor why it seems to have become popular enough as a symbol of anime that even anime knockoffs will use it. The tropes article I mentioned has a documented list of where it's appeared over the years; however, it does remain possible that even the most dated entry in that list is not the original usage of the icon.


It's the first season of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.

The scene you're describing is in episode 20 (about 18 minutes in).

Shion is the one with the taser. She ends up torturing killing like half the cast.

Rika is the girl who commits suicide by banging her head against a knife.


Let's make things straight:

The former Jinchuuriki, reanimated and reinfused with their respective Bijuu, had the Yin-element rod channel the chakra back from the Gedo Mazo. Once removed, Tobi had to quickly re-seal them inside of the statue, or risk them being freed.

The seal wasn't a permanent seal, like Naruto's or Killer Bee's, it was a temporary seal used for battling and then removing easily.
Minato's case is a bit different. Minato used the Shiki Fuujin to seal Kurama's Yin half inside of himself, but then, he himself got sealed, along with Kurama's half, into the Death God. That's why the Yin half of Kurama never revived (As it was still sealed), and that's why when Minato got reanimated with Edo Tensei, Kurama was already part of the deal.
Madara, however, cannot be a Jinchuuriki because when he died, he wasn't. The Edo Tensei revives people at certain states of their lives (usually the time of their deaths, but not always), Madara was not a Jinchuuriki anytime in his life.


The only explanation that makes sense is that she used up the stone before completing the process of bringing her brother back.

From the FMA Wikia:

  Due to the absolute law of alchemy being equivalent exchange, the stone gives the illusion that someone is able to override that law. Being that it is an illusion, the powers of the stone itself are not unlimited, and only appears to allow an alchemist to bypass equivalent exchange as long as the stone retains its power.

From what can be seen in the movie, virtually as soon as she finishes, she coughs the stone back up and the stone disintegrates. Throughout the show, the stone disintegrating is used as a sign that the stone has run out of power (like with Father Cornelio's stone in the early episodes). This means that the stone ran out of power no later than her finishing her process. It would be incredibly improbably that it would run out perfectly when she finished, especially given the amount of power that she used previously, so that most logical explanation is that she ran out partway through and paid with her leg for the rest.

This is never explained in the movie, so this is only an educated guess based on information from the show and from the movie.


Which anime episodes of Aria correspond to which manga chapters?

This is a very difficult question to answer, but I love this series, so I'll take a stab at it. I made this chart showing which manga chapters correspond to which anime episodes. It's ordered by manga chapter. At the bottom I included tables of manga-only chapters and anime-only episodes. Please let me know if you find any mistakes or oversights.

Unfortunately, establishing a correspondence between the Aria manga and anime series is very messy. For some reason, the chapters that introduced important characters were almost never adapted, and were replaced with anime-original episodes. But these episodes would often include material from the manga chapters that introduced these characters. The most egregious example is Aria: The Animation Episode 3, With That Transparent Young Girl…, which includes material from four different manga chapters and introduces two major characters, Alice and Akatsuki. In other cases, introductions very much like the manga stories were implied to have happened sometime before the series began (Woody and Al were both introduced like this.) Because of this, if you watch the anime series in manga-order and exclude the anime-original episodes entirely, you'll miss important pieces of the story.

The anime writers frequently mixed and matched scenes and bits of dialogue, added pieces of manga chapters into otherwise anime-only episodes, added substantial material to adaptations of manga chapters, merged multiple manga chapters, and partially merged parts of manga chapters. My chart probably misses at least a few major mergers (and please let me know if you find one). Many of the "wonder of the week" chapters were excluded from Aria: The Animation due to its short run, but later adapted in Aria: The Natural, which accounts for most of the jumbled continuity.

tl;dr: It's incredibly hard, maybe impossible, to watch the anime in the same order as the manga without missing parts of the story. But if you're okay with that, the chart gives you the information you need.


Is there any other characters with 2 quirks like Todoroki?

I'll start by saying that Todoroki actually only has one quirk, called "Half-Cold Half-Hot", which is a hybrid of Endeavor's "Hellflame" quirk and his mom's ice quirk. At this point in the anime (I haven't read the manga), there are no characters that have naturally been born with more than a single quirk.

Hybrid quirks are not unheard of, since Todoroki explains the concept of quirk marriages in episode 20. Quirk marriages ensure either that a certain quirk is passed down for generations, or that two quirks are combined to create an even more powerful one, in the case of Todoroki.

That said, the characters in the anime that have been known to have more than one quirk are as follows:

The nine owners of One For All* (All Might, Deku, Nana Shimura, etc)
All For One
At least 17 Nomu (I count 13 at the Nomu factory, plus the 3 killed when Shigaraki loosed them on Hosu, plus the one from the USJ attack).

This makes for a total of 27 people with more than one quirk.

As well, during All For One's time in power before All Might defeated him, he may have used his quirk to transfer quirks to any number of individuals. It's unknown how many of them may still be alive, or whether they could pass these artificially inherited quirks down to their children naturally.

  * One For All is a combination of two quirks - a quirk that allows you to stockpile power in your body, and  a quirk that allows you to transfer quirks, as explained by All Might.


Why does Edo Tensei Madara have Rinnegan?

First of all, the Edo Tensei doesn't just restores the body at the exactly time of death, but it does it as if it was brand new, the body is kind like 'reborn'. We see it on how:

Edo Tensei Deidara had both eyes instead of his robot left eye;
Edo Tensei Sasori had a 'human' body instead of a puppet one;
Edo Tensei Nagato had his Rinnegans even tho Tobi had taken his eyes from his body;
Edo Tensei itachi had his Sharingans even tho they were transplanted on Sasuke.

Now when it comes to Madara, Kabuto had aprimorated the Edo Tensei Jutso so when he brought Madara back to life he was younger and stronger than he was when he died.

Here's the image after he showed everyone that he has a pair of Rinnegan. Kabuto mentions that he made modifications to the body.


Fangirls have been around for quite a while. The term having it's first recorded use in 1934 in the novel by humorist A. P. Herbert called Holy Deadlock which is about the struggles of a divorce. The first behavior which now a days is commonly described as Fangirl-moment or Fangirling is also used in this book, effectively making it the origin of the term.

Fangirls are closely related to Fanboys, which is the male edition of fangirls, which has been around since 1919.

A Fangirl-moment or sometimes called fangirling usually occurs when a subject of interest is mentioned, or comes closely related to current topics. There from out they will either

waste endless amounts of time ogling, discussing/arguing, stalking, etc. the object of their "affection"
or
React with shortness of breath, fainting, highpitched noises, shaking, fierce head shaking as if in the midst of a seizure, wet panties, endless blog posts, etc.

All though the terms themselves aren't that old, the behavior it self is. Idolization has been around since the 1590's where rulers, kings and the likes where Idolized and probably had quite some fangirls fangirling as well.


In Death Note, how far could "sexual" interaction go with a shinigami before it broke rule XXXVI?

I think that some of the meaning of the rule is lost in translation. Trying to translate the rule myself using my limited Japanese based of the wiki image I came down to (feel free to correct me if I am wrong)

  There is a male / female in the god of death,
  Human book point descendants with humans are not allowed or impossible,
  The death god Same as above does not mate.

Which implicates OR rather then AND leaving the ambiguity. But also explicitly states descendants and not specifically sexual relationships.

But lets assume the translators know better what they talk a bout then I do. In that case I would assume that the rule covers the aspect of interaction using genitalia being impossible, but other sexual relationships are also not allowed.

Lets first take a look at the definition of sexual relationships

  Sexual relationships: Interactions involving sexual behavior with another person, or other people including, kissing, petting, humping, making out, sex, anal sex, oral sex, rimming, t bagging, fucking, licking, hickeys, sucking.

Reading through these, lets assume that relations which requiring the genitalia are impossible. All though this never is explicitly stated, the rule does some what insinuate this.

This would leave us with things such as : Kissing, petting, humping, making out, licking etc.

A Shinigami does have a mouth, hands and perhaps a tongue. Quite a few of these sexual relationships remain possible to the Shinigami, without actual intercourse or chance of creating demi-god off-spring.

So if we interpretation it in this way, it would make sense to cover the broader aspect of sexual relationships


Movie identification: post-apocalyptic setting featuring a genetically engineered forest

This sounds like "Origin: Spirits of the Past" (or Gin-iro no kami no Agito).

From the Wikipedia Link

  Genetic engineering on trees was conducted at a research facility on the Moon to produce trees capable of growing in harsh, arid conditions. The trees gain consciousness, obliterating Earth's civilizations and destroying the Moon. Three hundred years later, Japan is a dystopia covered by the Forest, a huge expanse of sapient trees, and ruled by the tree-like Zruids, which inhabit the planet and control the water supply of both trees and humans. Agito, a geeky young boy, and his father Agashi, as well as his friends Cain and Minka, live in Neutral City, a city carved out of the ruined skyscrapers which acts as both a buffer and a bridge between the Forest and the militaristic nation of Ragna. While the people of Neutral City co-exist peacefully with the trees of the forest, the nation of Ragna aims to destroy the Forest to restore the Earth.

I wasn't aware that it aired on the Discovery channel but it was made in 2006 and licensed by Funimation, and would definitely of have fit the 2012 airing time frame. The description of the movie pretty much matches.

What anime is this female anime figure in blue uniform from?

The female character in the above picture is Kurogane Hayate from Hayate x Blade.

                   Kurogane Hayate's appearance in the Manga

The Manga currently does not have an anime adaptation. You can find the figurine here.


Why did Chouji get fat when he received Naruto and Kurama's Chakra?

According to Naruto Wiki, the Akimichi clan:

  Members of the clan possess great physical strength and are able to
  quickly convert calories into chakra

So, they have the ability to convert calories into chakra, apparently they can do the opposite too, getting chakra and quickly convert into calories.
Maybe this one never happened to Chouji before, because he never received this amount of chackra, so he was surprised.


How different are the anime and manga versions of Nichijou?

Having seen the anime and read some of the manga (I own the first volume), I would have to say that the differences are minor. The only real exception is that Nano starts going to school for the first time in Vol.1 and then later I think it shifts the focus back in time to before she went.

The anime simply re-arranged this and some other events for convenience's sake.

I would still suggest reading it though, as while I am pretty sure most of the anime comes from scenes in the manga, the manga naturally has more content and as it is still running at time of writing, more will be added.

Only a few scenes were taken from Helvetica Standard though, so I would also suggest reading that too. Some of them are less random and could fit in Nichijou as well.


Of course, Conan's real age is the same as his age before he shrank. He was 16 at the time he shrank.

Conan does mention his age in the first volume of the manga in File 2, when he almost accidentally tells Ran that he is 16, instead of 6.

Later in the series, Conan's age is 7, as he has experienced a birthday.

Conan is also around the same size as other kids that age, which is probably why he was put in class 1-B when he started going to grade school. In Japan, first year grade school students are between ages of 6 and 7.


Why does Uosuke say "Tai" at the end of every sentence?

Tai is the japanese name for the sea bream, a fish known for its taste. A lot of anime characters add suffixes to their sentences, to give the character a little uniqueness, like Naruto's -ttebayo. So, since Uosuke really likes fish, he suffixes -tai to his sentences.


What does the top flag mean on the Japanese theatrical poster of "From Up on Poppy Hill"?

In the top middle of the poster is written Ue wo Muite Arukou.

  "Ue o Muite Arukō" (上を向いて歩こう, "I Look Up As I Walk") is a Japanese-language song that was performed by Japanese crooner Kyu Sakamoto, and written by lyricist Rokusuke Ei and composer Hachidai Nakamura. Ei wrote the lyrics while walking home from a Japanese student demonstration protesting against a continued US Army presence, expressing his frustration at the failed efforts.

  The lyrics tell the story of a man who looks up and whistles while he is walking so that his tears will not fall. The verses of the song describe his memories and feelings. Rokusuke Ei wrote this song while coming back from a protest against the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan and feeling dejected about the failure of the protest movement, but the lyrics were rendered purposefully generic so that they might refer to any lost love.

In the poster, Umi also looks up while she is raising the flags, possibly so her tears will not fall when and if she thinks of her deceased father who was killed in the Korean War. That, or Miyazaki is using Umi's story to express "his frustration at the failed efforts"?

The poster is roughly sketched, so it's hard to tell whether the flags are being raised by the girl or the tugboat. The relative sizes of the flags would suggest they're being raised by the tugboat, but looking closely at the poster, we see the UW flags are connected by a line that doesn't extend to the topmost flag.

When viewed this way, it does seem like the topmost flag is being raised by the girl in the way of a flag raising ceremony and the flag being raised is the hinomaru flag. The fact that the flag is drawn tapering to one end like the numeral pennant 1 just adds to the overall sketchiness.

Maybe Miyazaki did draw the hinomaru flag to reference Japan, seeing off his country as she sails off in the dangerous and wrong path to destruction, but this interpretation is rather unfounded given the evidence presented so far, so I hope someone chimes in and writes a better answer. Meanwhile, I will continue to do research on it and hopefully come up with something to support or refute my argument.


What's written behind the makeshift club sign?

The original sign is 生徒会室 seitokai-shitsu "student council room".

I haven't read the manga, so I can only presume that their club has co-opted what was formerly the student council office as their headquarters for some reason.

(I guess this is something of a tip-off to the episode 1 twist - it's weird that another club would just up and occupy the student council office, after all.)


What's the name of this romance/ecchi manga about a girl who becomes the landlord of a boy's house?

Sounds like Maison Ikkoku:

  The story takes place in Maison Ikkoku, a worn and aging boarding house where Godai Yuusaku, a 20 year old college applicant, lives. Though honest and good-natured, he is weak willed and often taken advantage of by the offbeat and mischievous tenants who live with him. As he is about to move out, he is stopped at the door by the young and beautiful Otonashi Kyouko, who announces she will be taking over as landlord. Godai immediately falls in love with her and decides to stay.

I personally never read the manga, but in the anime the residents always throw parties in Godai's room, especially when he's trying to study.

When do the Bleach Movies occur in relation to the anime?

At the main story, the movies are never mentioned because they are like fillers and not canon to the main story. But it's possible to verify when they occur by some facts, by some situations that we saw in the movie:

The first movie, Memories of Nobody: Ichigo is able to use his bankai in the World of the Living, so it happens after the Bount Invasion arc and before the Arrancar one as he's still unable to use his hollow form. So, it is between episode 109 & 110.

The second movie, The DiamondDust Rebellion: Ikkaku use his bankai, so maybe it happens after the first invasion of Arrancars (the one defeated by Toshiro team) and before they entering in Hueco Mundo. In episodes, something near 138.

The third movie, Fade to Black: I think it happens nearly to The DiamondDust Rebellion during the Arrancar's fight, but before they entering in Hueco Mundo because Ichigo still uses the first form of his hollow mask:

The fourth movie, Hell Verse: In this movie, Ichigo uses the second form of his mask and transforms into his full hollow form, so he already fought Ulquiorra in Hueco Mundo and returned. Repeating, it's like a filler, after episode 299.


According to this page

  He [Watanuki] was born when Syaoran made his wish of rewinding time, in order to fill his void left to his parents.1 Thus he became Syaoran and Sakura's son, but they made a wish for him to be different to "Syaoran Li" otherwise he would cease to exist.

And according to this page, it was confirmed by a fortune teller in xxxHolic.2

This page states that

  Watanuki is created to 'replace' Syaoran as the son of Sakura and Syaoran Li.

And it also states that he

  was "born" to replace the void in the relationships Syaoran had made.

Also, this other page says that

  Watanuki was in fact created out of a space time distortion to replace Tsubasa Syaoran as the son of the reincarnated clones

And, lastly, this other page states

  The connection between Syaoran and Watanuki is finally revealed in the Clow's future arc. Syaoran explains to the party what happened when he met Sakura (the real Princess of Clow). After he had made a wish to turn back time in order to grab Sakura's hand and save her from dying, Watanuki was born to take his place in his world. Fei Wong explains to him that "he's not a brother, he is you". And since he was a being not originally meant to be, he continues to tell him that his existence would cause only pain to those around him.

I believe this answers your question, but I am not sure, since I do not see either shows or mangas.

How did manga as we know it today come to be?

While the origin of manga dates back to as far as the 12th century. Pre-war manga magazines, like Eshinbun Nipponchi and The Japan Punch were attempted, but their sucesses were mixed, and mostly unsuccessful for a variety of reasons. The hardly resembled manga today, but mores resembled picture books of text, more synonymous with Chinese graphical art of the periods.

The media we refer to as modern manga, was mostly  born though the commercialism of post-war Japanese economy. Western influences particularly American culture played a big role. How it all came about is due a variety of factors, but the wave of commercialism is what helped carry it around the world.

Manga itself is an immersive social environment that encompasses various social aspects, from history, to language, to politics, religion, family, economy, and education, manga reflects Japanese society at its core, the good and the bad. The myths, traditions, beliefs, rituals, taboos, and fantasies of Japanese life are laid bare on pages of paper. The commercial proliferation of the Japanese publishing industry created a channel of expression that allowed the for the mass distribution of both real and fantastical ideas of the time. Manga as a medium is most relatable to people on a personal level because of this. While not always applicable the intimate ideas and subjects covers by the media connect to many on a personal level. While manga tends to depict a microcosm of Japanese Society. It's problem are not limited to Japanese people and society. These joys, sadness and tribulations can be share by all as fellow humans who can empathize.

Manga is a medium of expression for people to other people. People might not see eye to eye all the time, but when they do, the connection they make go beyond the images and words on the page.


Is Kaguya Ōtsutsuki an extraterrestrial being?

EDIT:
Leaving the old answer as it was mostly accurate at the time of answering, but new canon after the manga ended via the movies, non manga sources, and Boruto series have changed it.

Kaguya was in fact an alien. As revealed in the Boruto movie and series, Kaguya was from another planet/dimension. The reason she came to Naruto's planet is believed to be because it had a Chakra fruit and Shinju tree. What is clear is that she knew of other Ōtsutsuki and feared them, building the White Zetsu army to help defeat them in battle when they came, but its not clear if she ran away or was sent there and effectively betrayed her clan due to corruption caused by all the power she obtained, especially considering Momoshiki's dialog before he departed for earth.

Kaguya Otsutsuki article:

  As time passed, however, Kaguya began to lose trust in humanity as the power she now held ultimately corrupted her, which changed her public image from that of a benevolent goddess into that of a Demon (鬼, Oni). This eventually led her to madness, committing acts such as turning victims of the Infinite Tsukuyomi into an army of White Zetsu, in preparation for Ōtsutsuki descendants from another world coming to Earth to steal her chakra for themselves.

Momoshiki Otsutsuki article:

  Momoshiki was approached by Kinshiki, who had observed substantial tears in Kaguya's world, with its space curvature exceeding 16. After Kinshiki noted that she violated their clan's laws by failing to report the abnormal space curvature, Momoshiki wondered whether she had betrayed the clan, or had somehow been overthrown and destroyed by the "inferior lifeforms" inhabiting her world.

The rest of the old answer (again, apart from the fact that she is in fact an alien) is correct, at least from the perspective of the original manga, or more specifically Hagoromo.

Old Answer:

Kaguya was a Human Who ate the Chakra fruit of the Shinju tree

  "A millennium ago, Kaguya, longing for peace, believed that it was necessary for her to attain god-like powers in order to put an end to all of humanity's conflicts. For that reason, she defied the taboo of consuming the fruit of the Shinju. Using her new-found power, Kaguya single-handedly ended the wars, and for her deed, she was worshiped as the Rabbit Goddess"

No events before this are clearly described beyond wars and violence, but it is implied that Humans before were fairly normal, just like all the normal non ninja citizens of the Villages. Her powers did include Dimensional shifting, as shown in the manga, but the only known case of leaving earth is also attributed to Kaguya, when her Sons defeated her and Sealed her body within a celestial body which became the moon.

  In a fit of envy that her own sons had inherited her chakra, Kaguya combined with the Shinju itself and turned against them in the form of the monstrous Ten-Tails. Their intense battle ended with Hagoromo and Hamura separating and absorbing their mother's powerful chakra while sealing her body to form the core of a celestial body that would become known as the moon.

So if anything, She is just an unwilling Astronaut.

EDIT: NOTE the anime arc involving Kaguya and Hagoromo's past is not in the manga, and mostly filler. We never actually saw Kaguya eat the fruit or know who Hagoromo and Hamura's Father is in the Manga, or if Hagoromo ever had the sharingan in any form. The anime even changed Indra's eyes to look like Sasuke's stars, but in the manga, they were swirls, though the wiki does not have any pictures of Indra in the manga, the Mangekyou Sharingan page does describe this in at the bottom with a picture of his pattern and a Note that the anime changed it.

It was indeed a bluff made by light

   He had Rem write in the death note before the following fake rules that were going to prove that Light and Misa were innocent under any accusations as being Kira, "If the owner of a Death Note does not use the notebook after 13 days time, he or she will die" and "If the Death Note is burned, torn up, or otherwise rendered useless, any people who have touched the Death Note will die". With Light and Misa having no contact with the death note for more than 13 days, since they were both confined, and neither of them had died, that would prove to L that neither of them were Kira. L agreed and he finally took the handcuffs off of Light.

Following this info it would mean as long as Light is bound to L he could not use the notebook. Meaning he would die after 13 days, this would render the book useless so L would die as well as he touched the book before hand.


What is the context of this Hunter x Hunter reference in Inou Battle manga chapter 2?

The first reference, "Bankruptcy Chapter 7," is referring to one of Knuckle's abilities. Doing so, he lends his opponent some of his nen, but while they use it, they are charged "interest" on it, meaning they have to repay that much nen back to him.[1]
The reference here is that the male character is wondering how long it would take for Bankruptcy Chapter 7 to completely "bankrupt" her chuuni powers from her.
This is explicitly seen in a fight between Knuckle and Youpi (for short), during which Knuckle uses this ability on Youpi. It is revealed that Youpi has excessively high levels of nen. Knuckle states, comparing Youpi to the "boss" (Morel)[2]:

Five times what the boss has? Ten times? More? I can't tell! Assuming he's ten times stronger... with 700,000 aura... how long will it take before he [is hit by Bankruptcy Chapter 7]?

This is reinforced by a quote on the Wiki:

Menthuthuyoupi is an Enhancer. Knuckle estimates the size of Menthuthuyoupi's aura to be at least 10 times greater than Morel's, or at least 700,000.
  — Hunter x Hunter Wiki, Menthuthuyoupi

The reference here is just made to compare the scathingly high levels of Youpi's aura and drives home that her chuuni power is supposedly... over 700,000.

[2]: Stated in episode 112, starting at 11:51.


Where does the term "Blutz Waves" first come from?

To add a bit of backstory. Blutz Waves are defined as the following

  An energy source emitted by large celestial bodies such as a full-moon or the Earth when it reflects rays of sunlight. They are alternatively called Bruits Rays, Fruits Rays, or Green-spectrum Radiations (in the English manga). When a Saiyan absorbs at least 17,000,000 zenos (ゼノ Zeno, unit used to measure waves of full celestial light) through the retina,[1] a reaction occurs in the tail that causes the Saiyans to transform into ruthless Great Apes. If a moon is not present, the Saiyan, if he/she knows how to use it, can also create an artificial moon to allow themselves to absorb the necessary amount of Blutz Waves needed for them to go Great Ape to compensate.

Note that this concept of B.Waves existed in the manga, of DBZ in the saiyan arc. It was explored a bit heavier in GT and the term Blutz Wave was only used in GT but the concept was introduced as early as Dragon Ball but unexplored.

In Dragon Ball Z Gohan and Goku both had adverse reactions to seeing the attack ball(the ship Goku came to earth on) in the first arc against Raditz. Goku mentioned it felt familiar and Gohan flat out cried on site.

The attack balls used a similar form of the technology to produce artifical moons to trigger the reaction in combat. This is elaborated on further here:

  Spaceships used by those under King Cold, Cooler and Frieza for interstellar travel. When the Saiyans were a part of the military, these vehicles also sent low-class Saiyans to distant locations, so that they would one day conquer and destroy worlds throughout the galaxy.

In short the moon simulator was kind of a last ditch defense given that the saiyans they send around flying at Faster than light speed for between 1-3 years are kept in suspended animation. If they were to be attacked immediately after exiting their ship they may have a hard time defending themselves.

The saiyans were also known for sending infants to conquer planets,the moon simulator for the transformation helps to aid that.

In summation

The concept has been around since the original DB and is cannon the concept being that moon light from a full moon makes saiyans transform, the term blutz wave came out of GT and is not cannon but it extends the concept with a term and definition. The story of why the ships had simulation engines to product moonlight/blutz waves is cannon and given that it comes with different details from Vegeta and Bardock. Bardock being a movie character but confirmed as cannon.

Though with super out and more saiyans on the scene. There might be a new term and explanation that comes out making Blutz waves a full on full non-cannon detail.


What does the "FG" in the formal name of the Symphogear system stand for?

In the manga translator's (http://symphogear.blogspot.com) commentary, the FG is guessed to stand for Fonic Gain (it should be Phonic Gain). However, I'd speculate that it would mean Phonic Gear as it is the more elegant and title-consistent explanation.
As we know, Symphogear could mean Symphonic Gear while Symphonic itself means (etymologically) "Sounding Together/Concomittant Sound" due to the syn- prefix means "together/with" or "concommitant"

Why did Sabo eat the Mera Mera no Mi fruit?

Sabo never intended to get the fruit for Luffy. When he showed up in this arc, his first words were

"I'm not letting you have the Mera Mera fruit, Strawhat Luffy!"

Sabo always intended to eat it, and Luffy was fine with that. Luffy obviously can't eat it himself, he just wanted someone he liked to have it. He left the colosseum very happy, fully understanding that Sabo was going to eat it. It didn't come out of nowhere at all.


Hanzo passed the Hunter Exam. He also learned Nen afterwards (Volume 7, Chapter 60). He was also part of the people that were sent by the Hunter Association to guard the princes of the Kakin Empire (he was personally recruited by Kurapika during the Succession Contest arc). He was already a proper hunter when he got his license and learned Nen. Thus, he is both a ninja and a hunter. You don't have to give up one to be the other because you can do both, like he is.


Hitsugi and Chitaru are both at the same age, which is 15 years old. It is true that Hitsugi actually looks like a little girl, her height is also not up to her age, not even close, so it seems like Hitsugi is younger than Chitaru, but it's not.

Hitsugi doesn't even seem to have matured yet, which is the actual reason.


Didn't Supreme Kai know Beerus in the early episodes?

In the video, Kibito Kai clearly says that he is aware of who Lord Beerus is, when elder kai begins explaining it to him. But yes, he does seem to be naive about Lord Beerus' actions and nature.

Kibito's surprised emotion wasn't based on Lord Beerus his existence and role/power, but on the response and emotions that the elder Kai showed as he had never seen him "that afraid" before.

But then again, Kibito Kai has always been naive about many things since the time he was introduced in Majin Buu saga.


What is the weird hand gesture that Kazuma does in season 2 episode 3?

This is a callback to the hand gesture Kazuma made in episode 5 of season 1 (Kono Maken ni Onedan o!, or "A Price for This Magic Sword!") when threatening Mitsurugi Kyouya's two hanger-ons with "gender equality".
Kazuma managed to best Kyouya in a duel using underhanded tricks, which prompted insults from Kyouya's two female companions and demands to return the spoils of the match, namely Kyouya's cursed sword Gram. Kazuma's response was as follows (at the timestamp 17:57):

I'm an advocate of true gender equality — a guy who has no problem doling out a dropkick to a female opponent. Don't think I'll go easy on you. I'll unleash my Steal ability right here in public. Cue weird hand gesture, indicating he might strip the ladies of their admittedly minimal clothing.


Why can't Naruto go into Bijuu mode like the other Jinchuuriki?

There have been a lot of incomplete answers. Let us try to combine what all we know. This will be spoiler heavy for those who haven't finished the Manga/Anime

TL;DR. When he first used Nine Tales Chakra he COULDN'T go into Bijuu mode. He could once Kurama agreed to work together.

Naruto is the jinchūriki of Kurama's Yang half. Due to his Uzumaki lineage and being Kurama's jinchūriki his entire life, Naruto's chakra has more effectively mixed with the fox's, allowing him to perform several chakra-taxing techniques without feeling fatigued.
While accessing Kurama's chakra, typically through sheer rage, enhanced Naruto's fighting abilities, the fox's negative influence made Naruto more aggressive and in less control of his actions. This caused him to uncontrollably access Version 1(Tails 1-3 for Naruto) and Version 2 (Tails 4-8 for Naruto) for forms, and needed Kurama's power to be suppressed through various methods to regain control

  Version 1 – or what Jiraiya calls Naruto's "demon fox cloak" (妖狐の衣, yōko no koromo) – forms a dense shroud of chakra around the jinchūriki. The shroud, a translucent red with bubbles of chakra (reminiscent of boiling liquid) forming all along it, provides a degree of physical protection, but can also harm the user if used to a certain extent. The physical changes experienced in the initial transformation become more pronounced in Version 1 forms.

  Version 2 (バージョン2, Bājon Tsū), as described by Sabu, is the tailed beast's chakra being converted into a humanoid shape, granting the jinchūriki an edge in battle without completely releasing the beast itself. Using the jinchūriki's body as a sort of endoskeleton, a dark red, nearly black layer of chakra envelops them. The physical manifestations of the corresponding beast that are vaguely present in Version 1 states become far clearer in Version 2, in a way fully reproducing the beast in miniature: muscle mass increases and beast-specific attributes such as shells and ears become clearly defined.

Realising he could not avoid using Kurama's power, Naruto sought to learn how to control it with help from Killer B, the jinchūriki of Gyūki, and unexpectedly, his own mother, Kushina. Upon succeeding and taking most of Kurama's chakra, Naruto attains Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, which greatly increases his speed, strength, and defences. Because he didn't yet have Kurama's cooperation, however, Naruto needed to exercise extreme caution while using the form, as it could cost him his life. He can't do the Bijuu Transformation at this point

After earning Kurama's cooperation, Naruto can enter the Tailed Beast Mode, but the mode, though accurate in size, is unique as he does not as closely resemble the beast as the other jinchūriki do their own. For all intents and purposes, Kurama Mode is a completed version of Nine-Tails Chakra Mode: Tailed Beast Mode without the full transformation, meaning that Naruto is able to use Tailed Beast Balls

With the power given to him by Hagoromo, Naruto gained access to the Six Paths Sage Mode (六道仙人モード, Rikudō Sennin Mōdo). In this mode, his eyes become yellow and his pupils take on a cross-like shape — without manifesting the orange pigmentation around his eyes present in Sage Mode. Naruto can also don a new chakra cloak similar to Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, which he can access instantly and maintain much longer than Sage Mode. Naruto's Six Paths Sage Mode cloak changes several times throughout his later years

We see Naruto's Bijuu ability multiple times throughout Boruto movie. He protect the village by stopping the Bijuu Dama kind of attack. Later he and Sasuke combine Kurama mode with Susanoo.

Now to answer the completely DIFFERENT and Duplicate question. From Reading the comments.
- Why do Kurama and Gyuki appear as chakra while other bijuu don't?
- Another theory is that Naruto's special seal devised by the 4th Hokage causes this. He used the Uzumaki techniques to create the seal. This is why he also appears in a similar Bijuu form as Naruto. Thus, this is a host specific form and NOT Jinchuriki specific. And yeah, Naruto is special.
Reddit for this discussion. Contains Jiraiya's And B's comments on special nature of Naruto's seal

What novel does Teshigawara allude to in chapter 2.2 of "Earthbound"?

I believe he is referring to The Temple of the Golden Pavilion by Yukio Mishima.

  The novel is loosely based on the burning of the Reliquary (or Golden Pavilion) of Kinkaku-ji in Kyoto by a young Buddhist acolyte in 1950. The pavilion, dating from before 1400, was a national monument that had been spared destruction many times throughout history, and the arson shocked Japan. The story is narrated by Mizoguchi, the disturbed acolyte in question, who is afflicted with a stutter, and who recounts his obsession with beauty and the growth of his urge to destroy it.


Where was Hamura when Madara decided to steal the Ten-Tails' Gedo Body?

It is true that Homura Otsusuki went over to the moon to watch over the Juubi's husk (Ten-Tails' Gedo Body) but then, he most definitely died around the same time that his elder brother did, and that was long before Madara's time.

In The Last: Naruto the Movie, Toneri Otsutsuki spoke about this when he told the story  of the clan to Hinata.

  Apparently, the Otsutsuki Clan that followed Homura to the moon died out and Toneri Otsutsuki became the last surviving member of the Otsutsuki branch family, which explains a lot actually.

By the time Madara attained the Rinnegan and decided to summon the Husk of the Juubi, the majority of the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon, along with Hamura Otsutsuki, had died off. So, it was not being guarded at that time and Madara could easily just summon it.


The theater is a shot from one of the screenings of Death and Rebirth. I vaguely recall someone somewhere identifying which theater it was, but I can't find the post. This was part of an entire sequence of live-action shots near the end of the instrumentality portion of "End of Evangelion", the panning shot of the inside of the theater is both kind of a 4th wall as well as fitting in with the motif of the theater within instrumentality. Recall also from the last two episodes of the TV Series where instrumentality is heavily depicted as part of a theatrical set, like on a stage. Likewise, in EoE, we have a few shots, including a sequence in a sandbox, where there are those folding chairs seen from the end of the TV series.

Another related note is that the "Death Threats" sequence during a similar live-action portion of instrumentality has some of the letters mention seeing Death and Rebirth at the theater.


Are there any foreign seiyuu that have been credited for anime work?

Anime production teams tend to hire native speakers of other languages to voice non-Japanese characters.

To use your example of Eden of the East. there are a number of English-language voice actors who are used for when it is set in America. For example, David Whitaker played the black man in the apartment in episode 1. Policeman A was played by Gregory Pekar, who has actually appeared in other Japanese movies/shows such as Hana Yori Dango, as well as American movies such as Lost in Translation.

These seem to generally appear in small roles and/or roles where they only speak English, such as the policeman.


How many people kiss Usagi in the Sailor Moon anime and manga respectively?

In the manga, Usagi/Sailor Moon/Princess Serenity/Neo Queen Serenity is kissed by:

Prince Endymion kissed Princess Serenity (Moon Kingdom, consensual)
Chiba Mamoru/Tuxedo Kamen kissed Usagi/Sailor Moon (present day, in every story arc, non-consensual and consensual)
Prince Demande kissed Usagi (Black Moon arc, non-consensual)
Neo Queen Serenity kissed King Endymion (Black Moon arc, the King was asleep so technically non-consensual)
Sailor Uranus kissed Sailor Moon (Mugen [Infinty] arc, done by Uranus before Sailor Moon could react, so technically non-consensual, but Sailor Moon did not seem to mind). Tenou Haruka also almost kissed Usagi (consensual) but they were interrupted by Mamoru. Usagi also imagined herself being kissed by surprise by Haruka (her face expression in her mind's eye is one of shock, so she was imagining a non-consensual kiss, but since she is the one who thought it up, it could be that she subconsciously wouldn't mind if it happened).
Seiya Kou (Stars arc, done by Seiya before Usagi could react, so technically non-consensual, but Usagi did not seem to mind)

In the classic 90s anime:

Prince Endymion kissed Princess Serenity (Moon Kingdom, consensual)
Chiba Mamoru/Tuxedo Kamen kissed Usagi/Sailor Moon (present day, in every season, non-consensual and consensual)
Prince Demande kissed Usagi (R season, non-consensual)
Sailor Chibi-Moon kissed Sailor Moon (SuperS season, during transformation sequence, non-romantic on the cheek, consensual)
Seiya Kou kissed Usagi (SailorStars season, on the cheek, Usagi pulled back so technically non-consensual, but Usagi seemed more sad to have to reject him than disturbed by his farewell kiss)

In Sailor Moon Crystal:

Prince Endymion kissed Princess Serenity (Moon Kingdom, consensual)
Chiba Mamoru/Tuxedo Kamen kissed Usagi/Sailor Moon (present day, non-consensual and consensual)
Prince Demande kissed Usagi (non-consensual)
Neo Queen Serenity kissed King Endymion (the King was asleep so technically non-consensual)
Sailor Uranus kissed Sailor Moon (Mugen [Infinty] season, done by Uranus before Sailor Moon could react, so technically non-consensual, but Sailor Moon did not seem to mind). Usagi also imagined herself being kissed by Haruka.

A few examples:

Non-Consensual:

Is there any reliable source that explains the Tsugumi Ohba-Hiroshi Gamo pen name?

These are still just rumors and speculation.

The most notable are in Death Note and Bakuman.

In Death Note, the seminar Light goes to is called "Gamo Seminar":

In Bakuman, there is reference to a series called Super Hero Legend. Not only is the concept similar, but even the drawings of this are very clear references to the art style of Hiroshi Gamo's 1993 work Tottemo! Luckyman.


Why didn't Chibi-usa initially recognize Sailors Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, & Venus as her friends?

I asked a fan who is not part of this SE community this question and she responded:

  . . . you found loop holes in the anime. The whole thing in R where Chibi-Usa didn't know Sailor Moon was her mom, or the four senshi were her friends, the same as in the future was in my opinion, a horrible decision on the anime creators side. In the manga she knew before she even went back into the past that Sailor Moon/Usagi Tsukino and her mother was one in the same. In the anime all she knows is stories of a senshi called Sailor Moon in the past that her dad told her. The fact that the inner senshi of the past and future look exactly the same, have the same names, etc, is completely side stepped by the anime's production. Like really? Are we supposed to believe she's so stupid she couldn't put those two things together? But alas, they try anyway.

Her interpretation is that in the 90s anime, Chibi-usa did know the names and appearances of Sailors Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus in the 30th century before she time-traveled to the 20th century, and that failing to recognize them in the past is a plot hole.


Where can I watch Sword Art Online Ordinal Scale?

You can't, the only place you can see it at the moment is in a theatre, as it hasn't been released on disc yet. Once it releases on disc, you can then either buy it from a shop or use a legal streaming service like Netflix if it gets released there. TV channel also play anime sometimes, so you might be able to find it there too soon.


Does Tomura have other powers aside decay?

Tomura- Wikia

Tomura is indeed a powerful villain, and there is a reason why he is the leader of League of Villains.

Keen Intellect:
Tomura possesses a sharp mind and is analytical, being able to quickly realize Eraserhead's weaknesses in combat and taking advantage of them. He is able to deduce the workings of his opponents' abilities simply by observing them in action.

Enhanced Strength:
Tomura seems to be stronger than his build suggests, as he was capable of holding Izuku by choking him with only four fingers. While doing so Izuku displays visible difficulty in trying to fight back.

Enhanced Durability:
Tomura was able to take a point-blank blast of Katsuki's Quirk, sustaining little to no damage.

Enhanced Speed:
Tomura appears to be able to move very quickly, as he was able to appear before Asui in an instant. He was even able to see Izuku after the latter had jumped at a speed that rivaled All Might's speed, and even reacted to it by immediately moving his hand to Kurogiri to warp the hand to reach for Izuku before Izuku's attack could make contact.


Globin Slayer doesn't have any special powers unlike the Dwarves or Priestess. He only has his own strength, intelligence and his powerful individual skills. As you can see his ability at here, Goblin Slayer shown that he mastered a lot of skills such as:

Trained Combatant (Goblin Slayer is relatively skilled in most weapons that he can get his hands on, using them effectively enough to kill goblins.)
Master Swordsman ( Goblin Slayer is extremely skilled in wielding any bladed weaponry from short swords, daggers to knives.)
Master Marksman (Goblin Slayer is an incredibly proficient archer; he can accurately shoot down goblins from vast distances.)
Master Strategist (Goblin Slayer is an excellent strategist, specializing in ambush and guerrilla warfare. He comes up with extraordinary plans to trap large numbers of goblins, eliminating them with efficiency.)
Goblin Knowledge (Goblin Slayer has devoted himself towards all matters related to goblins, ranging from their habits to their mindsets.)
Lock Picking (Goblin Slayer possesses basic lock picking skills being able to unlock chests and to check for traps by using lock picking tools, though he mentions not to expect too much from his abilities as his class is not a thief.)
Physical Conditioning (Goblin Slayer has rigorously trained his body to utmost perfection, granting him top notch physical abilities.)
Strength (Goblin Slayer has a high level of physical strength.)
Speed (He could strike down multiple goblins at once with superior speed and reflexes.)
Endurance (He also possesses an incredible amount of endurance and pain tolerance, capable of fighting after having broken multiple bones.)
Senses (Goblin Slayer is extremely aware of his surroundings, having extensively trained to utilize all his senses including sight and hearing.)

He also know how to use a lot of equipment as well.
He has slay multiple non-goblin creature also. For example like: Orge. In case you haven't read the novel, he has also slain other creature as well:

 Dark Elf, Agent of Chaos, Rhea Scout, Evil Wizard.

Other than these, did you know that Goblin Slayer is a rank Silver in the guild?
Based on the ranking system, rank Silver is the highest achievement you can get in the guild.
For your question "How did he got his current rank by only getting goblin slaying quest?"
Slaying goblins is one of the lowest paid quests and a lot adventure doesn't like it because the paid but Goblin Slayer did not care. He only want to slay those goblin no matter the quest is getting paid or not just because the goblins in the story all are bad AND he doing this for 5 years. (Mostly by his own.) So you can imagine that he is very strong on the individual skill.
By getting his rank Silver, I think that the Guild Girl was the main factor that let Goblin Slayer get the rank. While mostly adventure doesn't care about Goblin Slayer, Guild Girl was the only one that keep helping Goblin Slayer. (I Shipping these two. :D)


Has the acoustic version of Unravel been released yet?

I believe this is the song you are looking for. Tokyo Ghoul - Unravel (Acoustic).

If you want to purchase it, here is the link to the Apple iTunes page: unravel (acoustic version) - Single, by TK from 凛として時雨


Though Mineta has been shown to be dumb, pervert and a coward, he has very high Intelligence, Co-operation and Technique rating from the databook. Mineta Minoru - Quirks and Abilities

Further clearance was then provided by the author himself,

  I've received a number of letters asking how on earth he managed to pass the Entrance Exam. So I'll take this chance to explain it. First, as Izuku himself said, his quirk is quite strong. And remember that the rules of the Entrance Exam was to immobilize or render the villain-bots unable to function anymore, not necessarily destroy them. As such he could trap them against walls, or stick them to the ground, or even plug up their muzzles to earn points. Mineta Minor - Author Notes

Thus Mineta though typically using his quirk just for throwing the balls has the technique and intelligence to stop the villain bots and rack up the points pretty easily, hence gaining admission to UA!


whats is the song that plays in naruto episode 479 when sasuke talks about naruto when the infinite tsukuyomi?

Identification of purple haired girl claiming she will pretend to be a cat if things go bad

It's this scene from Episode 9 of Koufuku Graffiti

  The story follows Ryou, a middle school girl who lives by herself. She has a knack for cooking and makes friendships with everyone through her food. The cooking manga is "full of detailed cuisine art to whet the appetite and slightly erotic meal scenes." The "koufuku" in the title is a wordplay on two Japanese homonyms—one which means "happiness," and another that means "appetite."

The girl is Kirin Morino.


What is the 'thing' that is located under the Fairy Tail basement?

Lumen Histoire is located in a secret underground room in Fairy Tail's original building. This secret is only known by Fairy Tail's Guild Master and is passed on to the new Master successively. Purehito showed it to Makarov when he became Master. Years later, Makarov showed it to Gildarts Clive when he told him that he wanted him to be next Master of Fairy Tail. According to Ivan Dreyar, Lumen Histoire is Fairy Tail's darkness, while according to Mavis Vermilion, it is Fairy Tail's light.

Where can I legally watch the dubbed version of "Kimi no na wa" ("Your Name")?

According to Amazon,  Your Name will be releasing on Blu-Ray & DVD in America on November 7, 2017.

You can pre-order the DVD + Blu-ray combo pack for $20.


It would seem the scanlators use the term "Slay Vega," while the official Seven Seas release uses the term "Sleigh Beggy." While the former certain sounds cooler, the latter seems to be more correct. Acording to Manx lore "Sleigh Beggy" (or rather Sleih Beggey in the Manx language, meaning "little people." The equivalent of "fairy" in English.) is a term used to describe a type of fairy that originally inhabited the Isle of Man.

On Seven Seas' Tumblr blog, they mention the significance being:

For Chise, this term is used to describe her being a type of extraordinary individual, and not being an actual fairy. So while the scanlator's intended meaning for "Slay Vega" may have been "dearest child of the night," it's actual meaning to English speakers is "to kill a star."
To this extent, we are of one mind in that the usage of Sleigh Beggy is in line with the manga-ka’s intended vision for this amazing series. Hopefully this clears up any confusion or misconceptions our readers had.


What happens to the discarded body of a person hit by the Dying Will bullet?

There is no explanation about it anywhere. And I do not think there will be.

The author of the story have left this issue open, to make us think more about it.

From my understanding, the Dying Will bullet shows your inner character (also known as your anima in psychology terms) which reveals his true deeds and his real-self, that is why when Tsuna takes this bullet multiple times, we see him, stronger, more serious, and leader-like figure. Which is his true personality that is hidden underneath his masked personality (the personality that he shows to people when he is not hit by the bullet). Anyway, if you need to go deeper, you might want to read more about Carl Jung and his theories because I think the author of Reborn was influenced by him.


Why is Senketsu the only Kamui that can talk?

Senketsu is the only one Kamui that can talk or communicate. Senketsu can communicate only with Ryuuko. This is because Senketu was made by Dr. Matoi with some modification, i.e Dr. Matoi used Ryuuko's Central Nervous System's DNA with Senketu's life fibers, which is why Ryuuko only can communicate with Senketsu and wear it.
After the end of the battle in episode 17, around 6:00, there is a conversation between Ryuuko Matoi and Aikuro Mikisugi:

A : Dr. Matoi made further improvements and completed Kamui Senketsu. Senketsu's life fiber have been spliced with your central nervous system's DNA
R : What ?
A : That is why he can only communicate with and worn by you.

A is Aikuro Mikisugi, R is Matoi Ryuuko. The exact phrasing might depend on the subtitle set.
Ryuuko's Central Nervous System's DNA is the main reason why Senketsu can talk but other Kamui cannot.

But Satsuki was able to wear it and use it. The reason may be that they are siblings. Satsuki can hear and communicate with Senketsu. They are siblings so their DNA match to some extent, and Senketsu contains Ryuuko's DNA. This may be the reason but this is more what I think than a confirmation of existing information.


Who the saiyajins got the scouters from?

The Scouters were originally invented by the Tsufurujins who used to originally inhabit planet Vegeta before the Saiyans took over the planet. However, the Freiza force found out about the scouters through the saiyans. Gichamu, a highly skilled engineer of the Freiza force found it and modified it for actual battle by implementing features that allowed telecommunication and concrete battle power numbers.Source 1Source 2


Long shot, guys, but don't you think that if it's a chant it can be in Chinese?
For example like this:

没师傅你哭吗    Méi shīfù nǐ kū ma
那你可那波苦    Nà nǐ kě nàbō kǔ

First two lines can be then read as such:

Master didn't cry for you
You can wave of that pain

Then I'd go with Japanese/English line:

いけない FORGIVE    Ikenai FORGIVE

And that one means simply:

Don't forgive

The only thing I can't possibly get is the last line... It sounds Latin-ish, but it can't be as there are no words fitting phonetically to these syllables...
It sounds between Japanese and some ancient European language...

What do you think, guys?
