What is the source of superpowers in the One-Punch Man universe?

Like many settings with a multitude of heroes, it's a grab bag of virtually every possible origin.

First, you mention a lot of S-class heroes in the post, but these are considered the exceptions; people at what is otherwise an unreachable level of power.  The following image is from the webcomic, chapter 67, which is technically a spoiler for people only following the anime or manga, but does not cover any real plot lines; it's simply part of detailing the origins of the S-class.  But I'll spoiler tag it anyway:

Known or implied power origins include:

Tank Top Master and Puri Puri Prisoner: Strength training.
Super Alloy Darkshine: Strength training, but claims his was "different" from the previous two.
Bang/Silver Fang: Martial arts training
Zombie Man: Genetic and medical experimentations by Dr. Genus. His only power is immortality/regeneration, however; physically and mentally he's an average person.
Metal Knight, Drive Knight, Genos, Blue Flame, Gatling Gun, etc: technological enhancements.
Fubuki, Tatsumaki, and other espers: power had since birth, presumably genetic or otherwise "naturally occurring".  It is possible to achieve higher levels of skill and power over time, by training.
Flashy Flash and Sonic: Ninja training and techniques.
Boros: The individual pinnacle of a race made intrinsically super strong by evolving in a harsh environment.

Of course we see many of the above (most of who are S-class, as they're the ones we have the most exposure to over time) achieve feats far greater than we would expect possible from things like strength training and martial arts.

There are a few other origins from the webcomic and manga that might suggest additional mechanics within the setting.

   Saitama's power seems to originate from ignoring his limits to the point that he ceased to have any.  Garou seems to almost achieve the same thing by the end of his arc, falling a little short but otherwise ascending to a level of power and skill that seems to surpass everyone but Saitama.  The idea of an intrinsic limiter on power is key to the series by this point.  It is reasonable to believe this is a fundamental mechanic of the setting, as it has been stated by both in-world characters as well as the "narrator". It is indicated that the extremely powerful beings just have a higher limit and have worked to reach it, and/or used experiments and such to increase it. Or in some cases simply being born at a very high level, like with Tatsumaki.  Saitama and almost-Garou break the mold by breaking this fundamental rule of existence, and that's how they surpassed the unsurpassable S-class.

   Gyoro-Gyoro created Lord Orochi (a manga and anime only character) through various unspecified experiments, and is confident they can reproduce the results with a sufficiently durable specimen; Garou is considered a candidate for surviving the process and surpassing Orochi.

   But most tellingly and perhaps relevant for future arcs, Homeless Emperor attributes his power as a gift from "God".  When he's telling this to Zombie Man he then has a vision of this "God", who says he's taking back Homeless Emperor's life and power.  Homeless Emperor then (literally) combusts and dies before Zombie Man's eyes.  Zombie Man is willing to believe there is some entity that gave Homeless Emperor his power, and is concerned about what this entity is up to.  We have neither seen nor heard of any such entity since then, but it may come up in future story arcs.  As such there may be some god-like being who grants at least some people and/or monsters their power.

Several monsters also profess that they had an intense obsession with something, which then transformed them.  Such as Crablante, the first monster Saitama is known to fight (before he begins his training). Perhaps some heroes, like Watchdog Man, have a similar origin. Possibly the previous spoiler is relevant to such transformations.  Otherwise, the best we can say right now is that the setting permits fairly arbitrary origin stories, in part because out-of-universe it is constructed as a parody and at times deconstruction of the (super)hero genres.


In Reincarnated as a Slime, can Rimuru gain someone's abilities without killing them?

Yes, he can gain abilities through various means.
When Rimuru swallows someone, based on the anime, their body is always destroyed but their spirit can survive. Even in the case on Veldora, when he's revived his body doesn't come out, only his spirit. Rimuru had to make him a new body.
If Rimuru wants to gain someone's full abilities, he'd have to destroy their body in the process of analyzing it and put their spirit in a new body has he did with Veldora.
Rimuru can attain a spirit's abilities without killing them as in the case of Ifrit. He also gained spatial movement through a spirit.
He can gain new abilities by swallowing the magic with gluttony. The adventurer's icicle lance is an example.
He analyzed anti-magic area in season two by touch alone to gain that ability.


Why does Rukia fall for so long when getting thrown by Yammy?

I timed it at 5:18-5:34ish for the animation of release to smoke cloud.

Anyways, the stretch of physics would be bad if he threw her underneath him, near his feet. But my eyes saw his arm stretched out away from his body after the toss in an attempt to basically spear-chuck her.

My speculation would be that they're relying on a set of three overlapping times: Ichigo's catchup (shortest span of observed time), Yammy's toss (short span of observed time), and Rukia's trajectory (longest span of observed time to get in frantic dialogue).

For anime fluff, this feels around average.


How can Kurumi Tokisaki's clone be killed twice?

Yes, the same clone can be killed twice. This is based from her ability, the eight bullet: Het, which creates a clone of a target object or subject. The clones she makes from herself are her past selves. As said from the wiki:

  Combined with the power of the 8th bullet, she can create a clone that has all her experiences, memories, abilities, etc. These clones can take the form of long white hands with red outlining when they are in Kurumi's shadows. However, as these are her past selves, they sometimes may contain feelings which the current Kurumi no longer possesses and as such, Kurumi will not hesitate to kill these clones if they choose to disobey her.

The very concept of her abilities are not very specific in my opinion. But, so far, this is what I've observed based from the show, and from those who've read the light novels.

You can check out her full set of abilities here if you have any doubts:

Weird translation in One Piece Episode 132?

I wouldn't say the translation is off.
Nami is trying to convey that simply saying 'sorry' is not going to resolve the issue at hand.
Similar to how saying sorry to the marines would not make the crew any less of a wanted criminal.
Hence I don't care if you are sorry! doesn't really covers what she tries to convey. She may still care about him being sorry, but in the end it's only a cold comfort. It will not fix or rectify the situation.
Or in the context of the episode, just saying sorry is not magically going to repair or fix the damages done to the map. Which she just put a lot of effort into making.
So something along the lines of Being sorry is not going to fix this map! would probably better reflect what Nami was trying to say.


Does Sailor Moon Crystal contain the Black Moon arc of the manga (Pluto and Chibiusa)?

Note: I'm not sure if anything had come up by October, since I haven't really followed Sailor Moon beyond watching the biweekly episodes and I don't know Japanese. But some announcement (referred to here) seems to have been made in early November at an anime convention in Tokyo. The fact that there apparently was speculation before this suggests that no announcement had been made before the anime convention. (I found out about this mostly since I'd read about a newly released trailer, and wanted to find some details about it.)

Looking from some recent news sources (e.g this one from November 8), it seems that the second half of SMC will cover the Black Moon arc.

A official trailer was apparently recently released (December 27), and from ANN, we have:

  The anime premiered on July 5 and airs on the first and third Saturdays every month. Starting on January 17, the second season includes the story from the original manga's "Black Moon" arc and features Chibi Usa. The Comic Natalie website posted more images from the upcoming episodes.

Initially I was sceptical as to whether this new "season" mentioned in some sources was referring to part of the current SMC or to an altogether new production after this one finishes, but the date given (January 17 next year) implies that it should be within the current production.


In part 1, chapter 7 (or, for a shorter version, episode 4), we learn the following from the false minoshiro:

It was only in the 2011th year of the Gregorian calendar that a scientist of a protohistorical civilization conclusively documented psychokinesis, hitherto thought to be a supernatural telekinetic phenomenon. [...]
Every prior experimental investigation of PK had been a disastrous failure, whether conducted in public or in a scientific facility. In 2011, however, a cognitive scientist from the Republic of Azerbaijan - Imran Ismailov - conducted an experiment in the nation's capital, Baku, that was a near-total success. At the time, the quantum-mechanical paradox in which the mere act of observing an object can induce changes in it was well known. Ismailov was the first to suggest that PK could be used to amplify this phenomenon to macroscopic levels. [...]
...The first person identified by Ismailov as possessing preternatural abilities was a 19-year-old girl by the name of Nona Mardanova. She could do nothing more than move a plastic ball, light as a feather, sealed inside a transparent tube. And yet, it is thought that it was she that caused mankind to undergo a transformation, as if she were a seed crystal in a solution, stimulating the formation of more like crystals. People from around the world followed in her footsteps, awakening a power that had 'till then lay dormant within them.

So basically, this is how it went down: some people were "inherent" psychokinetikers, like Nona Mardanova - they had abilities that normal humans didn't possess. Their abilities were, however, very limited, and not at all on the level of the people in Saki's time.
Ismailov conducted experiments on these people (specifically, on Mardanova; I don't believe he conducted any other experiments). We don't know what the experiments exactly consisted of, for two reasons: much information was lost over the thousand years that separate Ismailov from Saki; and Ismailov himself went to great lengths to ensure that nobody but he would know the full scope of the experiments.
Whatever Ismailov did, it "awakened" Mardanova. From there, it spread. We don't know how that happened either - the false minoshiro doesn't address it. It seems that once PK exists (i.e. the experiments on Mardanova happened), it spreads. Somehow. Even in Saki's time, people don't really understand how it happens - children are sometimes born without PK, despite the existence of non-PK users being an existential threat to society.


What are the "Angels" called in the original Japanese version?

These organisms are categorized as 「使徒」(shito) meaning "apostle" in Japanese sources. Shito is the word used in the Japanese translation of the Christian Bible to refer to people who possess the spiritual gift of Apostle (this differs from the word used to describe all of Jesus' followers, which is 「弟子」 [deshi], the same word used for disciples of Confucius and other renowned historical figures).

Curiously, according to Evangelion Wiki,

  The collective grouping has no unique canonical name, although the phrase "Adam's children" was used by Misato in a preliminary draft for Episode 25'

written as 「アダムの子供達」 (Adamu no Kodomotachi), meaning "children of Adam."

According to evageeks.org,

  the word "Angel" was retained in the English version of the show at the request of the show's Japanese creators

but they provide no citation for this claim. They note that in an early proposal pitch, the word 「アポストロ」(aposutoro) was suggested.

While apostles are clearly human whereas angels are supernatural, the word "apostle" is derived from the Greek word ἀπόστολος (apóstolos) which means "messenger" (broken apart is "from" + "I send"). The Japanese「使徒」(shito) broken apart is "messenger" + "person" (same kanji as「使う」[tsukau] meaning "use" or "speak"). The special ability of Apostle allows the wielder to go to a new place, preach the Good News there, and plant new church communities with more ease than another disciple who doesn't possess that gifting would be able to do. The English word "angel" is derived from the Greek ἄγγελος (ángelos) meaning "messenger." As you note, the Japanese 「天使」(tenshi) is literally "heaven" + "messenger." So etymologically we see that the Japanese words「使徒」and 「天使」 both show the idea of sent-ness for the purpose of delivering a message.


Why does Yuno paint her license plate yellow?

In Japan, the color schemes used by license plates are standardized at a national level. Plates with black text on a yellow background are used for "light vehicles" (sometimes glossed in English as "kei car" from 軽 kei "light"). For example:

A three- or four-wheeled vehicle is deemed a "light vehicle" if its engine displacement is 660 cc or less and meets a few size and weight restrictions.

I don't know much about cars, but it seems that 660 cc is quite small. The five top-selling cars in the U.S. as of January 2016 were the Toyota Camry (2500+ cc), Honda Civic (1500+ cc), Toyota Corolla (1800+ cc), Nissan Altima (2500+ cc), and Honda Accord (2400+ cc). And these are all reasonably-sized sedans, not Hummer-esque monstrosities (6000+ cc).

These cars are fairly popular in Japan (as of Mar 2015, 39% of all vehicles in Japan were light vehicles; this is up from 26% in 1998), for reasons apparently having to do with how Japan taxes and regulates vehicles. They also sell reasonably well in South/Southeast Asia.

I would agree with Nori that light vehicles are conservative, primarily because they're often rather boxy and unattractive (because of the size restrictions) and because they accelerate slowly and generally have poor "performance" (because of the small engine). They seem to have many benefits, especially in urban environments (easier parking and maneuvering; lower taxes and cheaper insurance; better gas mileage; and apparently there's less bureaucracy involved in registering one). But you're not going to impress almost anyone with a light vehicle.

(Semi-related plug: if the minutiae of Japanese motorcycles interests you, check out Bakuon!!, which is basically Top Gear, except with cute girls riding cute motorcycles.)


Conditions to obtain Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan

Firstly, by attaining the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan through transplantation of eyes (of a blood relative, ideally a sibling's), the following upgrades are received by the user:

Deteriorating vision is restored.
Their Mangekyō-based abilities are made stronger and they no longer suffer any negative side-effects from the usage.
The user will retain all their previous techniques from their original eyes.
The user will be able to access the Mangekyō abilities of the donor.

So what basically happens is that, the eyes taken from a sibling get a new host and whatever drastic conditions (related to vision) the donor had gone through while they had the eyes, doesn't affect the new host.

In Sasuke's case, his vision was deteriorating, so he decided to transplant his brother's eyes, which were in a similar condition. When the transplantation is completed, he is able to see clearly and moreover, get an increase in his dojutsu skills. This clearly proves that the precious condition of the eyes doesn't reflect to the new owner. There is no other case to prove otherwise.

What is the triangle-shaped headband these characters wear?

This triangle-shaped headband is called a tenkan (天冠, lit. "heaven crown"). In some parts of Japan, it may also be called a zukin (頭巾, lit. "hood" and also used as a generic term), a hitai-eboshi (額烏帽子, lit. "forehead headpiece"), or a kami-kakushi (髪隠し, lit. "hair-hider")2.

Traditionally, the tenkan was one component of a traditional burial garment (shini-shouzoku / 死に装束). The garment also typically included a white kimono, these glove-things (tekkou / 手甲), and a particular style of boots called kyahan (脚絆) that I'm having trouble finding a good picture of.

There are a number of explanations of the purpose of the tenkan, including:

It must be worn to avoid offending Enma (a judge of the dead in Japanese Buddhist mythology; he's actually a derivative of the Hindu deity Yama)
It allows the dead to escape from hell
It functions as a signal that one was of high standing in life.

In anime today, I get the feeling that the tenkan basically serves as a signal to viewers that whoever is wearing it has something to do with death (or, more generally, with non-humanness, I guess).

Notes

This answer is mostly a translation of the following article: What's the triangular piece of cloth that ghosts wear on their heads? (Japanese)
This seems like it may be a pun on 神隠し, or "spiriting away" (as in the Ghibli film 千と千尋の神隠し, or "Spirited Away"). See also this question at Japanese.SE.


Why there was only one episode of Black Clover?

Your premise of the question is wrong!

The animated episode is NOT a series, but rather a single "Special Episode" bundled with the 11th Volume of the Manga. This is mentioned as much in MAL page for the episode. Afaik, it adapts the first chapter of the Manga. [Confirmed in Comments]

https://myanimelist.net/anime/33950/Black_Clover

  The Episode "Black Clover" was screened at Jump Festa 2016 on November 27, 2016. The OVA was later bundled with the 11th volume of the manga, released May 2, 2017

In December 2016, there were talks about a TV adaptation of this Anime slated for release in 2017, however since only the OVA has been released, maybe they are testing the waters with the OVA release. The full series adaptation has "no official date yet"
Here is the ANN page for the same - Black Clover by Studio Pierrot - ANN.
Relevant Details.

  While Viz Media's Weekly Shonen Jump Twitter account had originally stated that the anime would air in 2017, the Twitter account later redacted the statement and said the anime "doesn't have a date yet."

Thus, Black Clover's TV adaptation doesn't have a date yet, but should release in late 2017- early 2018.

UPDATE: As predicted Black Clover Season 1 is airing this Fall! Enjoy :)


Did Kaji know that he was going to die in Episode 21?

He knew that he was going to die but it was not directly due to his espionage.
Freeing the kidnapped Fuyutsuki is the most likely cause of his death according to the dialogue in episode 21.

  Misato:         Hello, I am away right now. Please leave your message
                  after the beep.
  Ryouji:        My last job...
  ...
  Fuyutsuki:      It's you.
  Ryouji:         It's been a while.
  Fuyutsuki:      This action will result in your death.
  Ryouji:         All I wish is to get closer to the truth...
                  within me.

Why/How does Eren remember how to activate his Titan power?

I don't know how far the anime is yet, so I'll put it into a spoiler.

   The shift between human is triggered by any injury that causes blood loss. The first shift is triggered when Eren gets eaten by one of the titans and hurts his arm. To trigger the next one, he bites himself to protect Mikasa and Armin. Apparently, also the will to accomplish something is needed to become a titan (kill the titans, save his friends)


How come not all subjects of Ymir don't have royal (Fritz) blood?

All Subjects of Ymir are Eldians, but not all Eldians are Subjects of Ymir or Royal.
Technically, every subject of Ymir has Royal blood, but it is not enough to make an impact. Remember, King Fritz was just a human and his bloodline can be diluted to the point where Ymir does not recognize it and all subjects are connected through Paths so that can not be diluted. Only one of the 3 daughters was kept as the Queen of Eldia and kept the Royal Family bloodline as pure as possible (possibly through incest, IDK. Historia was not a result of incest so it is a bit confusing). The other 2 were used as breeding machines to create more subjects of Ymir, diluting the Royal blood immensely.


There actually is somebody who try'd to get all the main characters a place in one big family tree on deviant art it is a bit outdated thou as it last updated in 2011.
I advice on downloading the picture as its really hard to read otherwise

Due to some quotes through out the manga there is also a theory floating around that Naruto has some blood ties with the senju clan.

We know that the first Hokage's wife is Mito Uzumaki so this does make some sense. Some of those theorys can be read on narutobase

And one of the most commonly accept of them would be that all descend from the Uzumaki clan to begin with.

Although there are loads of theory's and tons of rumors going about, we cannot provide a definite family tree of the people beyond Naruto's parents. As most of the theory's are still only based on small quotes such as above

For a proper time line to be set up we most likely need the parental details from either Karin or Nagatos parents, as they all descend from the Uzumaki clan

Edit:
Warning contains content shown in the manga up to chapter 670. Read with care as you might be spoiled

Breaking news on the family tree of naruto, in chapter 670 at page 11 the sage of the six says

  You are my son Ashura's

With this and the up following pages we can confirm that Naruto is a descendant of Ashura, which is the younger brother. The creator of the Senju clan. So Naruto is in fact of the senju blood line.
And to be even more accurate, He is the reincarnation of Ashura.


Is there any connection between Madoka Magica and Monogatari series?

There aren't any substantive connections between the two series, in terms of content.

From a production perspective, though, there is a lot of overlap between them. First, as you noted, they're both produced by Shaft, which means they share a lot of staff, most notable among them director SHINBO Akiyuki, whose directorial flourishes are easily seen in both series. IWAKAMI Atsuhiro is also the producer for both of them, though I'm not sure how much influence he has relative to Shinbo.

The short intro animations you mentioned are primarily amusing because the voice casts of the two series have a lot of people in common:

SAITOU Chiwa, who voices both AKEMI Homura and SENJOUGAHARA Hitagi
KITAMURA Eri, who voices both MIKI Sayaka and ARARAGI Karen
EMIRI Katou, who voices both HACHIKUJI Mayoi and Kyuubey
MIZUHASHI Kaori, who voices both TOMOE Mami and OSHINO Ougi

Hence, the four different intro animations, each of which features one of these four voice actors.

Generally speaking, Shaft does tend to hire a lot of the same voice actors for their shows, as you can see in this chart. Especially Saitou Chiwa - she's all over the place in Shaft productions.

Oh, one more interesting connection between the two series - Bakemonogatari and Madoka are the first- and second-top-selling late-night anime of all time in terms of discs sold.1 Shaft is clearly doing something right.

1 source - note that Evangelion was not a late-night anime, nor was The World of Golden Eggs (which was, in my opinion, really dumb anyway).


Where and when Mugiwara Crew's new bounty poster taken?

Like most other bounties in the series, I do not think that the location or the time at which the photo was clicked will ever be revealed in-universe, so here's what the new bounties make discernible:

Here is a picture of the bounties of the Straw Hats after time-skip for reference:

Luffy: It's hard to make out when Luffy's photo was taken as it lacks distinctiveness, but as for where: It was taken on the Fishman Island. My basis for saying this is because he wore that outfit only on the Fishman Island. This was his getup at Punk Hazard, whereas his getup at Dressrosa was this. As mentioned on the Wikia article on Luffy:

  During the Punk Hazard Arc, Luffy wore a long winter coat with red and white horizontal strips, along with yellow ear muffs, which he stole from one of Brownbeard's Centaur Patrol Unit.

  During the Dressrosa Arc, Luffy wore an open, short-sleeved shirt with a sunflower pattern, along with his standard blue shorts and yellow sash. He also wore a fake beard.

Zoro: Based on Zoro's expressions, it is most likely taken just after his fight with Hyouzou on the Fishman Island. That's one of the only two scenes where he wears his bandana after time-skip (the other being in his fight against Pica), but the expression is strikingly similar to one he made after his fight against Hyouzou.
Usopp: Usopp's photograph was taken at the moment when he was crowned God Usopp at Dressrosa with Hajrudin holding him up. The same expression can be seen here.
Nami: Based on her pose, her photograph was likely snapped on the Fishman Island when she was with starfish Pappug, creator of the Criminal fashion line.
Sanji: Based on his expression, his photograph is taken on the Fishman Island when he's running to jump in for a swim with the mermaids. The scene is from Episode 528 of the anime.
Robin: It is hard to judge where and when the photograph was taken. All we can say for sure is that she's in her fighting pose, so it's either before or during a fight. A likely candidate for where though, is Fishman Island as that's where most of the photographs have been taken, at Gyoncorde Plaza as she gets ready to fight Hody's underlings.
Chopper: It is most likely taken during a great banquet at the King's Palace as he has a cotton candy in his hand. Most likely, it is the banquet at the palace after the fight with Hody was over. This would put the location of the photograph as Fishman Island.
Franky: He used Franky Shogun at Gyoncorde Plaza and at Punk Hazard. However, the former is more likely to be the location where this particular photograph was taken because that's where most of the photographs are taken, and I don't think there was anyone at Punk Hazard who could have taken this picture.
Brook: It may be from one of his gigs as a Soul King before he continued his journey with the Straw Hats or from a scene during/after his fight with Hody's underlings at Fishman Island. However, as stated in Chapter 801 of the Manga, on this page, it is indeed his concert poster.


Can Lugia be a legendary one that reproduces itself?

There are multiple Variations in the Pokemon Anime and Games. For instance, in the games, there exists only 1 of each Legendary/Mythical Pokemon. However, in the anime that is not the case.With regard to Breeding, the fact that Legendary/Mythical Pokemon happen to be genderless isn't a sole factor that determines its ability to breed as in the games, we know the gender of Latios, Latias, Thundurs, Landorus, Cresselia, Tornadus and Heatran. However, none of these pokemon can breed. Another misconception is if a pokemon has an ability to evolve, it should obviously be able to give birth to its pre-evolution. Type-Null and Cosmog both are Legendary/Mythical and evolve, however they cannot breed.Manapy seems to be the only exception that can breed in the games. Also note that eggs containing the Legendary Bird Trio; Articuno, Zapdos and Moltress can be hatched  in Pokemon Snap.The Baby Lugia seems to be one of the few exceptions in the anime.

In the anime, we also see weird pokemon like  an Old Treecko in the Episode where Ash catches one, a Humongous Giant Dragonite in season 1 , Crystal Onix and other different kinds of pokemon apart from the usual Shinies we are aware of. You can read more about the same here. I believe the Baby Lugia falls into this category.


In the Trigun Universe, Plants are constructions, built by humans, to hold and house powerful beings that can create energy, food, and even water. Not much else is revealed about the beings themselves in either the manga or anime that gives away where they came from, how humans learned to harness their power, or what they truly are.

As for why Vash can communicate with them:

   Both Vash and Knives are "products" of the plant. It is unknown if they were born by the plant on the ship, or how they came to be, as it is said that they were found near the plant itself. Vash and Knives both show many characteristics like the plant, and also many dissimilarities. For example, both show increased control over their powers, including being able to generate guns at will, and both have a far longer life-span than humans, while aging to the mid-30's look faster. They are also able to communicate with the plants, as Vash demonstrates on a few occasions. However, unlike plants, they do not need to be contained in a special environment to survive, and they are male, where as every plant form that can be seen is female.


Is there any Japanese anime with a Korean OP or ED?

I know of anime OSTs created by Korean artists but not in Korean language. Korean singing in Japanese is eargasmic for me.
If you follow Korean music, you shall know about TVXQ creating three OSTs for One Piece

OP OP 11

OP ED 17

Also, BoA has created the Inuyasha OP. Her voice in Japanese is so beautiful, i love it!

Inuyasha Opening by BoA

Ao no exorcist OP was created by 2PM, i could get the kpop vibes from it when i first listened to it.

These are the only ones i know of, anime is pretty popular in Korea so i am sure there are more, feel free to do more research.


Which chapter of the manga does Season 4 of My Hero Academia anime start in?

According to Mangaupdates and the wikia, Boku no Hero Academia adapted up to Chapter 124 in Season 3. Therefore, Season 4 is expected to adapt the chapters after that, starting in Chapter 125.


What is the song on the title screen of Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'?

The title song for Resurrection 'F' is: "Z no Chikai" (a.k.a "Pledge of Z")

Is Blood-C set in the same world as Blood+?

As given on Wikia :

Saya Kisaragi has long hair that are similar to that of original Saya Otonashi, respectively of Blood+ in 1863 early version of Saya and 1972 Vietnam War in scenes only.
Despite major dissimilarities other than that they are different personalities, between the two Saya's of Blood+ and Blood-C, such as their backstory and traits for the character; they share the similar plot differently. For Example Saya Kirasagi sings when walking around town and the Other Saya Otonashi plays the cello but badly judging from the reactions of other characters.
Somehow Saya Kirasagi remains in mystery where she come from despite of her origins, unlike Blood+ Saya Otonashi comes from a chiropteran mummy
Saya never calls a sword in the series except in the opening when she mind controls her cover of the sword even as Tadayoshi Kirasagi gives the sword , before battles like Blood+ Saya from Haji and The Last Vampire from David.

It seems to be of a parallel or a totally different world because of the various differences shown in spite of the similarities introduced to make it of a series.


Japanese is a highly contextual language. Often times common words have uncommon alternate meanings. It's best if you cite examples for your Reborn context.

In the case of Megaman StarForce, it is what it literally means. 電波 literally means "electromagnetic/radio waves." The former character 電 means electricity. The latter character 波, means wave, as in billows upon some medium.

電波 has some slang usage as well; by itself it can be used to describe nonsense or something pointless, in other words, noise.

電波系 (denpa-kei) can be used to describe someone crazy, typically one with irregular or wild fantasies or delusions, such as hearing voices. This may have some bearing on your Reborn question, but without sufficient context, it's hard to tell.


Can ditto turn into a shiny version of a Pokemon?

In the Pokemon Games, a regular ditto would end up tranforming to the shiny pokemon it battles. However, in the anime, the Transform attack seems to be a lot more unique. For example In the anime episode, Ditto’s Mysterious Mansion, while ditto could tranform into any pokemon, its eyes and mouth wouldn’t change.In the anime episode, Imitation Confrontation, there is a ditto which can transform into any pokemon but cannot match the size of the same. It transforms into a mini sized Onix.In the manga, Ditto’s transformation is not only limited to transforming into pokemon. In the pokemon adventures manga, Green with the help of ditto, disguises herself into looking like Sabrina to infiltrate Silph Co.Hence, in conclusion, I don’t see why there is no reason as to why Ditto can’t transform into a shiny pokemon.


What dictates who can use what magic in Fairy Tail?

First to dispell some misconceptions:

I don't think that dragon slayers have any rules. Anyone can become a dragon slayer provided that he has a dragon to teach him, or he has dragon slayer lacrima to put in his body. Both are rare, thus there are not that many dragon slayers.
I speculate that Lucy could learn to use Cana's cards. (Personally I think that a monkey could use them, but that's just my opinion.) But not because card magic and celestial spirit magic is both "object magic". Celestial spirit magic is a summoning type of magic.
In my opinion (sorry for the speculation again) Urano Metria is not a caster spell. When Lucy used it she actually summoned the power of the stars themselves. (Note that some stellar objects actually appeared.)

And now to actually answer the question:

We saw people using different types of magic. Like mentioned before Makarov uses titan, but we also saw him to cast fire. But he also used Fairy Law and other energy type attacks against Jose of the Phantom Lord. We also saw Luxus using Fairy Law while he usually uses dragon slayer magic. Hades used various kinds of dark magic, while in his old days as Purehito he probably had a less dark repertoire. We know that Zeref can use at least two kinds of magic: living magic that created the demons and that black thing that brings instant death. Mirajane has both transformation magic and Satan Soul. But my favourites are Ultear and Jellal. Ultear used both time magic and ice make. And Jellal basically learned Mistogan's magic to add to his repertoire on the tournament.

With all of that in mind, no, nothing dictates what magic people learn. Actually a lot of them learn different types of magic. It's probably just that they are better in one field so they don't really use the other most of the time (Like Luxus.) Or they have personal reasons to not use the other type (Like Ultear.) Or they are so good with one type that they don't even bother learning others. (Like Natsu.) Other than that only the competence of a mage defines if they can use a magic or not.


Does Summoning: Impure World Resurrection automatically equip the reincarnated shinobi?

There can be only one copy of the tool at a time. The resurrected shinobi get their tools if they have not been acquired by others in the real world.

When the Seven legendary swordsmen were summoned, initially only Zabuza had his Kubikiribōchō. Although Suigetsu had acquired it, it was taken away from him when he was arrested at the five Kage meeting. Thus, it seems the Edo Tensei transferred it to Zabuza.

Later, Mangetsu summons 4 other swords from his scroll. He had presumably sealed them in his scroll before he died, which is probably why they were not acquired by others.

The only swords missing are the Samehada and Hiramekarei, which were in possession of Bee and Chojuro respectively. Similarly, Sasori did not get his puppets, because Kankuro had taken their possession.


What did Vegeta mean with "be careful Kakaroto, that could be the super saiyajin true form!"?

He was referring to the legendary super saiyan form. It is the Legendary Super Saiyan form that Broly basically used, but I thought he wasn't canon so I am not really sure how Vegeta can refer to the form Broly used. However he probably as the Saiyan prince posses more knowledge than others when it came to being a super saiyan. By calling it the true form he most likely verbally meant to the form giving an infinite amount of stamina. The form Kale used was Berserker Super Saiyan though.

Significance of the different designs of Tobi's/Obito's masks

The masks in each stage has their own significance:

The Spiral Mask with center at the eye was designed by the mangaka to give the dimension switch by Tobi a better look.

The Rinne-Sharingan shaped mask was worn by Tobi during the Shinobi War to represent his mission i.e achieving the Rinne-Sharingan for the Infinite Tsukuyomi .

All these designs don't have any significance from the perspective of the storyline. They were just designed by the mangaka to have a stylish, appropriate appearance.

Where in the manga does anime season 2 of Rosario to Vampire end?

There are massive differences in the plot, to the point where a reasonable answer might be "chapter 1".  Indeed, one might take umbrage to any claim that the second anime season even had a plot.  Unless you mean "plot" ironically for "excessively ecchi elements".  The anime is extremely focused on ecchi, which was never a significant focus in the manga.

If you want to see the story and characters progress, without constantly tossing their tits and panties in your face, you need to read the manga and forget the anime entirely.  On the other hand, if that sounds like exactly the stuff you do want, ignore the manga and enjoy the anime.

I only watched the first few episodes of the second season before giving up on it, but I read the manga in its entirety.  I'll try to go through this list and try to point out which of those plot lines would have actually occurred in the manga.

1: Anime original.

2: Kokoa is a real character in the manga.  Her introduction is different.  The description of Moka and Kokoa's relationship is accurate, though, and that's pretty much how her introduction story line ends, as well.

3: The parental visit happens.  The singing doesn't.

4: Anime original.

5: Anime original.

6: Anime original.

7: Anime original.

   We basically never see Tsukune's family again in the manga, beyond the Lilith's mirror thing that appears later and little more than a spectating cameo appearance in the final chapters.  A fact I only just now realized.

8: Anime original.

9: Anime original.

   Mizore-centric plot lines basically vanish in the manga after she tells Tsukune about how breeding works for her kind.  There is one fairly major exception I won't go into, but it's not contained in this anime episode for sure.

10: Anime original.  If it involves the bat, it's anime original.

11: The mirror also appears in the manga (the story happens mostly in the "first season" of the manga; the Lilith character makes some appearances in the "second season").  But the following does not happen:
Basically, if you're seeing breasts or panties, that's anime original.

12-13: Anime originals.

   The "truth" of the rosary is much different in the manga.  And Moka's father doesn't play that big of a role.

tl;dr: Don't even bother trying to compare the two.  Read the manga from the very beginning.


Why did Yuno not die after her diary was destroyed by Aru?

Well actually I do not watch the anime, but I searched and found people said the anime pretty much the same with the manga. So, what happened was...

   Well, you know that the present Yuno is First World Yuno right? When she came to the present world (Second World), she killed the Second World Yuno, took her place in the present, and took her phone, and that made her having two phones. The phone that Aru destroyed was the phone that originally owned by Second World Yuno. Meanwhile, the real phone of First World Yuno was safe with her. That's why she didn't die.

For complete information, you can read Mirai Nikki's Wikia Page of Yuno. Read "The End Begins" and "The Final Battle" section.


Why did Guts have sex with an Apostle? Was he aware that she was an Apostle?

Having a fight with a powerful Apostle is risky, exhausting and difficult. Putting his Dragonslayer and knives aside he gave her false sense of security. While she felt confident and let her guard down he fired a cannon into her mouth.

He knew she was an Apostle, his brand responds to demonkind. There was no other choice to make her vulnerable than to have sex with her.

Bottom line: he was aware and he did it to trick her and kill her the easiest way.


Is it possible for one Master to have multiple Servants?

It should be possible. However most of the examples i can find are non-human.

In Fate/Apocrypha we learn that the entire Red faction, save Mordrid, is under Shiro Kotomine's control since their Masters aren't in Trifas and he has been working on taking control; I remember reading that he has their Command Seals. The reason he can do this is probably because

   He is the Ruler from the 3rd War as such a Servant with a connection to the Grail

As zibadawa timmy mentioned, in Unlimited Blade Works Caster had Assassin, Archer and Saber as her own Servants. However with Assassin she was a Fake Master, but with the latter two, she became a proper Master after using her Nobel Phantasm Rule Breaker to null their contracts with their Masters.

The only Human example is with Sakura in the Heaven's Feel Route. She has a contract with Rider (from the beginning) but she also, when she accepts Angra Mainyu, is the Master of Alter-Saber and Blind Beserker. However there is the possibility that Sakura was in fact a Servant herself with Angra Mainyu as the Master

The above three are evidence of how a "Master" can have multiple Servants under the Fuyuki system; there are examples outside that.

In the Moon Cell, the Alter Egos created by BB are her Servants. However BB is an AI and the Moon Cell/SE.RA.PH operates differently than the Fuyuki Holy Grail which is supposedly what it used to develop the system to determine who was worthy to reach the Moon Cell's core.

There is also Manaka Sajyou from Fate/Prototype. She not only is the Master of Beast but she also ends up summoning the other 6 Servants. However

  When she died eight years ago, she became something of a half-zombie due to the power of the Holy Grail

As such, one can't really consider her a normal human.

When it comes to Command Spells, if a Master contracts with another Servant they are granted a set. However this is only seen with Caster.

  Upon using Rule Breaker to steal Saber's contract, she appears to be branded with actual Command Spells.

Source: Special Command Spells - Imitation Command Spells

We can assume that it was the same happened with Archer and we can assume the reason is the same as if a Master-less Servant found a new Master (in the case of Caster).


Why did Tsukasa say that if he and Senku would have met 3700 years ago they would be friends?

3700 years ago they were normal people without any possibility of changing the grand scheme of things. But now in this stone world, they both have the opportunity and will to shape how society will develop and they ended up with conflicting views. Senku wants to restore things to how they were and Tsukasa want to create a world without materialistic values. Senku wants to revive everyone while Tsukasa only wants those he considers good people.

So what Tsukasa is saying is that he likes Senku as a person, but that because he now as ambitions to live for he will have to get rid of anyone standing in the way (i.e. Senku) even though it pains him.


Why do most teams have two males and one female?

I don't think there is any rule behind this because the main motive behind this is to test the dynamics of teamwork but there is one rule that is to how to team-up Genin:

  Genin are put in four-man cells, or squad, consisting of three genin
  and a jōnin-sensei, in order to learn teamwork and experience true
  ninja life under the supervision and protection of an elite shinobi.
   The make-up of these teams is based on the individual skills of the
   genin, so that there will be a balance between the teams. For
  instance, Naruto Uzumaki, who passed with the lowest grades, was put
  in a team with Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, who passed with the
  highest grades and highest written exam scores, respectively.

So there is nothing states that there has to be one girl in every team. But to create a perfect balance between all teams they might have assign one girl in every team.


What does Victor whisper to Yakov before entering the airplane?

He says "do svidaniya" which is Russian for goodbye.


Why were Youko's friends added to the anime?

It's important to know that in something like manga, even though thoughts are able to be shown, there is still a very heavy visual element for the reader. In a novel, like The Twelve Kingdoms, it is conveyed entirely through text and we are at the mercy of the characters' inner thoughts much of the time.

Asano was added largely as a confidant (and a childhood friend) of Youko; he is someone who could externalize the struggles that Youko has internally in the novel. Sugimoto, like Asano and even Yuka, fills a very similar purpose. Her role is described as a foil* for Youko, helping her to externalize issues that the viewer would not see (but would be able to read in the novel).

Asano also adds some serious depth to the story (some serious spoiler material here):

   The gradual loss of his mind and his inevitable death are very powerful, mostly because they follow his desperate want to find a purpose in his life. And where better for him to die than in Shoukei's arms?

* In literature, theatre/theater, etc, a character who helps emphasize the traits of the main character.


How did Finral transport Yami into the cave?

I checked the corresponding manga chapter #47, where Yami mentions that Noelle contacted HQ about the situation and they were dispatched because they were the ones closest to that town.

I think the teleportation in this case was short-ranged, done in order to block Licht's attack and save Asta. So they must have already entered the cave for it to be in Finral's line of sight.

It is indeed unlikely that Finral would have visited the cave before, but it seems plausible that Finral might have visited the town before, since it is near to their base. So they could have teleported to the town and then made their way to the cave on foot.


It is titled "TIME TO GO", and is track #21 on the first volume of the OST.


How did Trafalgar Law get to and leave Marineford?

So, to add a bit of clarification to all the answers.

The Tri-current (Tarai Current) are a natural whirlpool at the intersection of the Calm Belt and Red Line. The WG build three facilities around the current (Impel Down - MarineFord - Enies Lobby), making use of the current power to fast travel between the three. The currents work also underwater as per natural ocean currents, but probably have different speeds and power at different underwater levels.

Here's a pictures depicting the wihrlpool:

The Gates of Justice are 3 such gates placed at the "corners" of the current from where you can enter or access it. This is the only way for normal ships (floating ships) to get inside the current. The whole phenomenon doesn't quite follow natural physics so one shouldn't try to find natural ways of how to enter/exit it.

Also, you can't get in from the outside without using the gates as the outside currents will push you away from the whirlpool and vice-versa from the inside where the whirlpool will keep pushing you into a circle.

Now on how Law & others managed to get there.

One possibility is that they entered the current by going underwater through the Gates of Justice while they were openend. After the gates close, the outside currents will keep you from entering, even underwater. That is why Bepo said to hurry as the gates are closing, so they could catch the overflowing current to the outside, while submerged. The same applies to WB's ship who was also underwater.

Another possibility for WB's ship to enter is if he used the Gura Gura no Mi's powers to temporarily divert the currents and enter from any side of the whirlpool. Law still had to enter from the gates nontheless.

And even another posibility could be that they entered MarineFord by bypassing the big current, from Sabaody Arch. for exemple, and managed to get around the marines defence of those waters. They probably left through the Gate of Justice to make for a quick escape rather then going back and risking to get captured.

More on One Piece fandom about the Tarai Current.

The science behind Squall's Gunblade, if there is any?

After reading the information on Gunblade wiki, Squall's - and Seifer's - Gunblades do contain a barrel that runs through the sword. When the trigger is pulled, it emits a shockwave that deals additional damage when it strikes the enemy.

  In Final Fantasy VIII gunblades have a sword blade with a gun action built into the hilt, the barrel running inside the length of the blade. They are mostly used like normal swords, but triggering a round sends a shockwave through the blade as the weapon passes through an opponent to boost damage

The reason behind this design was that Tetsuya Nomura was looking for something to further engage the players.

  The gunblade was designed by Tetsuya Nomura for Squall's weapon in Final Fantasy VIII with the aim to make the battles more dynamic, the players needing to press a button at the correct time to deal a critical hit, and to give Squall an iconic weapon.

Seeing how this was the first game in game franchise to use the style of weapon, it is no surprise there were some design flaws in the implementation.

Furthermore, later games in the franchise still use Gunblades and they expanded on this style of weapon to allow both shooting and slicing


What is the name of this really funny anime?

It's from Oniichan no koto nanka zenzen suki janain dakara ne or (I don't like you at all, Big Brother!), a 12 episode anime from January, 2011, that was adapted by a manga by Kouichi Kusano.

The main character is Shusuke Takanashi:

The plot (from the wikipedia page):

  Nao Takanashi loves her brother Shūsuke despite the incest taboo. Nao thinks that Shūsuke is her blood relative, but in fact she is an adopted daughter, whose parents already died. After Nao learns the fact, she wants to normally fall in love with Shūsuke because siblings by adoption can marry under the family law in Japan. However, she finds herself competing with Shūsuke's childhood friend, Iroha Tsuchiura, and his class president and yaoi lover, Mayuka Kondō.

Mayuka Kondō is the "Kondou" that he's referring to in that video. From the wiki page:

  Shūsuke's classmate and class president, with a strong interest in Boy's Love magazines. When Shūsuke tears up one of her magazines by accident, she makes him her 'pet'. She forces him to purchase and review explicit BL magazines which she interprets as having a shared interest. Despite Shūsuke's belief that she may ask him to do something more perverted at some point, she treats him more as a boyfriend - making him bentos and coming to wake him up in time for school. Over time her feelings for Shūsuke increase because of his apparent acceptance of her BL magazines. She becomes attracted to Shūsuke's pink and sensitive nipples due to the fact she has never seen a naked man before, though despite him being her pet, she doesn't use this to her advantage. Although she confesses that she has feelings of wanting to dominate Shūsuke, he loses memory of the incident after being hit by a truck.

In "Darker than Black: Ryuusei no Gemini", what happens to Hei's powers?

If you notice that at the beginning of "Gemini of the Meteor" season BK-201's star vanishes, and he loses his powers. At the end of the season,

   BK-201's star lighting up in the sky.

Each "False Star" has a corresponding Contractor, and they resonate when their Contractor's power is being used. As such I think it's safe to conclude the he has his powers back.


As Gao indicated, the BGM corresponds to （BGM：【DiGiTAL WiNG】Paranoia）as indicated in the video description.

The original song is Koishi Komeiji's Theme - Hartmann's Youkai Girl


What's the name of the manga with a girl who has two bodyguards?

Brother bodyguards sleeping in the same bed as a princess ?

It really sounds like Time Stranger Kyoko (Arina Tanemura) to me

Princess Kyoko shares her bed with two brothers guards

She has a time base power
It's about people having power like time, flower, dragon
there are some demons too

   she even actually has demon ears...

the brothers are orphans
She has been kissed by one of the brother but thought it was the other one,

   then some revelations made the one who kissed her appart from them (so sad moment for them)

She attends to high school, but not in our modern world, it is a mix-up between ancient/modern/fantasy/sf world
BUT she doesn't use a katana but a talking staff

It's a bright, fun and adorable manga in my opinion


Is it common for seiyū's to also be singers?

For the first question, the answer is yes. This is especially true with female seiyuu. As you noted, Nana Mizuki is also a singer other than a seiyuu. You can check her discography here. She even went to a duet with T.M. Revolution. Other female seiyuu's that is worth noted:

Itou Kanae (Meat - Haganai)

Albums including Kokoro Keshiki and Miageta Keshiki
Hayami Saori (Shiraishi Urara - Yamada-kun to 7-nin Majo)

Released her first single August 2015
Kitamura Eri (Honoka Sisters - Sidonia no Kishi)

Has lot of singles and album.
Toyosaki Aki (Kanzaki Uiharu - Railgun)

Discography here
Tomatsu Haruka (Yuuki Asuna - SAO)

Discography here
Uchida Maaya (Takanashi Rikka - Chuunibyou)

Discography here
Nitta Emi (Kousaka Honoka - Love Live)

Discography here
PILE (Nishikino Maki - Love Live)

Was already a singer even before debut voicing as Maki.
Uchida Aya (Kotori - Love Live)

Example single is Spicaterrible
Nanjo Yoshino (Ayase Eri - Love Live, fripSide's Nidaime-sama

She was chosen to as fripSide's main vocalist after the first quit the group and go solo. First vocalist was nao who voiced 5pb in Hyperdimension Neptunia. She also released a mini-album and singles in ballad style which is different that her usual trance fripSide singing style.
Hirano Aya

She even own her own band with whom she got caught in a sex scandal.
Hanazawa Kana

Discography here
Sato Satomi

Discography here
Horie Yui

As pointed by Steven, Horie Yui also owned her own singles and albums.

It is more rare for male seiyuus to also be a singer although they do sing as the characters they voiced. Some that I remember are:

Tetsuya Kakihara (Natsu Dragneel - Fairy Tail)

Other than singing as Natsu, also released his own singles.
Ono Daisuke (Sebastian Michaelis - Kuroshitsuji)

Discography here.
Kenichi Suzumura (Zack Fair - Final Fantasy VII)

Discography here.
Morita Masakazu (Kurosaki Ichigo - Bleach)

His songs are mostly Bleach songs, that is he sang as Kurosaki Ichigo. As far as I know, Morita doesn't own his own singles/albums.
Hayami Shou (Aizen Sousuke - Bleach)

Other than singing as Aizen, also released some singles and albums.

For the second question, no. In fact, usually it is not. Only some anime have the singer of OP or ED also fills a role in the anime. Like Kitamura Eri (Honoka Sisters) sings Sidonia no Kishi's ED. But most of the time they don't. This is because a lot of anime still have bands and people who's primary job is singer perform the OP and ED. The anime Black Bullet's OP was performed by fripSide, but Nanjo-sama didn't have any role in the anime, nor Satoshi (fripSide's composer and part of the duo and he is also not a seiyuu).

As an extra, Hyde of L'Arc~en~Ciel and VAMPS also voiced an anime once as himself. But his main profession is a singer and not a seiyuu.


Why does Gekko Moriah set sailors back out to sea if their zombie version will die?

To understand this situation we need a bit of context into Gecko Moriah. One of the Shichibukai, major antagonist of the Thriller Barque and the user of Kage Kage no Mi. His Devil Fruit power allowed him to manipulate shadows in a physical and tangible form.

Moriah maintains a very relaxed and laid back stance at all times. He rarely fights against his opponents directly, preferring to use his doppelman to outmaneuver them and then steal their shadow. (Luffy and Robin both lost this way). Or he may order his crew to take care of it. In general, he will avoid a conflict all together

His tendency to avoid conflicts shows how he collect shadows for his Zombie Crew. He ambushes pirates in the Florian Triangle, steals their shadows and leaves them adrift at sea. His crew of Abasolom and Perona also have powers of the kind which can defeat an opponent without fighting head on.

However, keeping the pirates whose shadows he has stolen would prove counter productive. One of the reasons Moriah was defeated was because of the pirates whose shadows he stole.

Zombie's Weakness - Brook was able to discover the weakness of Moriah's Zombies because he was left on Thriller Bark
Rebel Alliance - The survivors on Thriller Bark banded together and plotted to bring down Moriah. They understood his powers as well as stole over hundred shadows. They used the shadows to power up Luffy.
Handicap - Due to a weakness to the sun, a Shadowless person would have a great handicap and once set adrift would not be able to search for Thriller Bark properly. However, due to extreme fog in the Florian Triangle, this weakness is negated somewhat.

Tl;Dr. There is a greater chance of Pirates rebelling and stealing their shadows back if they stay on Thriller Bark, rather than if they're sent away because of their instinct of Self preservation. It is also in line with Gecko Moriah's nature to avoid conflict until necessary.


Would a fan made universal exstension be allowed to post?

For legal questions such as these, it is always good to contact a copyright lawyer in your country.

How does universe 11 expect to win with their current strategy?

I think their best strategy is get Dyspo and Toppo to eliminate all the relatively weaker fighters from different universes, while Jiren eliminates the likes of Goku(with no UI), Vegeta and Frieza and the best time to implement such srategy would be near the end of tournament.


What is the highest-level monster card in the Yu-Gi-Oh anime?

An alternate answer to Senshin's answer is however the Fortune Ladies used by Carly Carmine while she was a Dark Signer in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's series. and unlike her Fortune Fairies she used before becoming a Dark Signer the Fortune Ladies are also official cards

while the starting level of the Fortune Ladies is initially low, the highest being 6, their special ability allows them to gain a level every turn which in turn affects their ATK and DEF.

so Fortune Lady Earth which has the highest initial Level of 6 needs only 6 turns to reach Level 12 which is indicated to be the max their special ability will allow them to go up.

Also Fortune Lady Earth and Fortune Lady Dark have the higher multiple for their ATK and DEF out of the Fortune Ladies being 400 which means 400 x 12 = 4800 ATK and DEF which beats all 12 Star Monsters except 3 who's ATK and/or DEF is 5000 but this can be supplemented with spells and traps. with their much lower tribute cost they are quicker to summon especially Earth who's initial 2400 ATK/DEF is close to the 7 star Dark Magician's who requires 2 tributes instead of Earth's single tribute.

their natural flaw is however the fact that they take some time to get powerful unless you use other cards to boost their level. also their special ability stop at Level 12 which means getting them to Level 12 quicker via other cards wont give them as high of a level as if one waited and used the cards afterwards

  In the OCG and TCG, monsters cannot have a Level lower than 1, but card effects can freely raise a monster's Level to arbitrarily large values in excess of 12.

Source: Level

depending on how one plays this wait can be problematic. some strategies which could work is to prevent summoning and use Swords of Revealing Light to stop attacks for 3 turns each until a Fortune Lady has enough ATK/DEF to shrug off most attacks

The icon with a jar is the Weiss capturing device.

I don't know what the bear like icon refers to

The cat icon references the design of Kanon's stun gun as it appears in the anime. (The stun gun has normal appearance in the manga). The icon matches the stun gun on Kanon's right hand in the image below.

According to KamiNomi Wiki:

  The original shape of the stun guns were replaced by kitten-style appearance in the anime as a safety image.

The hexagon icon is the Maijima emblem, which is shown most clearly in chapter 169. For the purpose of comparison:

The last 4 icons are Hellian alphabet. Referring to below chart from this forum posting by EyZi:

The characters are G, O, N, K, in order from left to right, top to bottom.


Can a Devil Fruit user pass on powers to their children?

Short answer: No, this has not been shown, and there is overwhelming evidence to suggest the opposite.

In the world of One Piece, it is well established that any power gained through eating a devil fruit will be unique in the world. If there were a bunch of kids running around who had inherited the same powers as their parents, we would likely have seen someone like that by now or heard mention of it. If anyone is shown with some sort of a power, the first reaction of the other characters is always "He must have eaten some sort of devil fruit" and never any suggestion that the power could have been gained in another way.

It would also complicate the issue that once the devil fruit user dies, the devil fruit spawns again elsewhere in the world with another fruit, so if this were possible, you could potentially have a family where all the members are inheriting a power from some ancestor, and once he died someone else ate the fruit and passed the power to his children, and by the present hundreds of people could have the one power.

As of chapter 824, we have never to my knowledge seen a confirmed devil fruit user who has a child, and there are a couple of possibilities for this. One is just chance, the majority of parents we see in One Piece end up dying in flashbacks, and devil fruits are reasonably rare, and even if we were to believe, for example, that Edward Weevil is Whitebeard's son, there is no sign that he has the powers of the tremor fruit. It is of course possible that he was born after his father ate the fruit, so this is not necessarily a counter argument.

The other interesting possibility is that eating a devil fruit might leave the user sterile, as I said, we have no confirmed cases of an ability user having a child after they gained their powers, and in many characters case such as Luffy, Magellan, and all Logias and Zoans, there must have been huge changes to their bodies as a result of them having eaten the devil fruit.

Two more possiblities are that eating a devil fruit has no effect on your children, or that it significantly lowers your fertility without reducing it to zero. If Superman had a son, you would expect that man to have super powers, as he is genetically an alien, however if someone like Spiderman, who was born a normal human but later gained his powers through an event that potentially didn't alter his DNA had a child, you would expect that child to be biologically a normal human. If it is that eating a devil fruit lowers your fertility massively, then it is also possible that eventually a devil fruit user will successfully have a child who will inherit their power, and potentially lead to a dynasty of ability users.


How many chapter are stocked by publishers?

As the answer in the previous question said, mangakas are ahead of 3-4 chapters though this figure may vary in some cases. The credible source for this is Eiichiro Oda, creator of One Piece manga, answers his fans questions at the SBS Corner, here's what he had said about this in particular:

D: When an artist is drawing for example, Chapter 10, what chapter is
being printed in the newest Weekly Jump?
O: I see. I wondered about
this myself, years ago. So I understand your curiosity. At this EXACT
moment, Issue 46 of Jump is hitting the stands. It contains One Piece
Chapter 60, "Solution". But I have finished the drafts up through
Chapter 63, "I Ain't Gonna Die". So a chapter comes out roughly 3
weeks after I finish it. But that's only my CURRENT schedule. Not all
people drawing weekly serials have the same system. I could change if
need be. There are various cases.Source

And for your other question of how far ahead the mangaka develops the plot, Hiro Mashima, the mangaka of Fairy Tail says:

Q: How far in advance do you create your stories (before they're
published in Shonen Magazine)?
Hiro Mashima: Generally speaking, I tend to think of the next episode
as I'm creating the current one. Sometimes I get writers block.
Sometimes inspiration just comes when you're sitting down at the
toilet. I like to think of that as just an inspiration from heaven.

What manga chapters of Minami-ke are serialized in anime and OVAs?

According to MangaUpdates:

Starts at Volume 1, Chapter 1 (Season 1)
Ends at Volume 6, Chapter 118 (Season 3)

These is a season 4 on top of that, but I couldn't find what it adapts.
Apparently the second season deviates from the manga or more accurately, includes non-manga episodes/content.
An excerpt from the link above:

It is also different in storytelling as it uses material not from the manga

As of August 2014, 12 tankōbon volumes of the series have been released, which as you say is still ongoing.


How do you train in a jutsu that kills you if used?

It's like jumping off a building.

You can jump from the first, second or third floor and survive. The method to reach all the floors remains the same (Climbing by stairs... or you may call this training.).

However, after a certain number of floors, you will come to a realization that after you jump through this floor (let's just say the 20th -- you need not practice climbing 20 floors for this -- the experience of climbing one floor is just fine), you will become extinct.

You don't need the experience nor practice to reach the 20th floor but you will surely become extinct if you jump from there.


Why wasn't Jiraiya brought back with Edo Tensei?

The point is quite simple.

   In order to perform Edo Tensei you need a sample of DNA of the deceased. If you remember how Jiraiya died, he's been in the depth of the water and it's not feasible to recover him.

And indeed in this Wiki on Edo Tensei, it is stated that

   Kabuto wanted to reincarnate him, but his "body lies at the bottom of the ocean where the water pressure is too great to reach. However, he claimed that the bloodstains on the Six Paths of Pain's weapons may provide enough DNA."

 He wanted to reincarnate Shisui Uchiha too, but he "could not find his body, though he suggested that Shisui's crushed eye, which is in Tobi's possession, may be sufficient. Later, after learning that Shisui's other eye was on the battlefield, he seemed excited at the prospect of obtaining it. However, Itachi incinerated it."

If you're reading the Manga, the fact about Jiraiya is stated in the Volume 55, Chapter 520, page 14, so you can read if you got there:

    Kabuto: Unfortunately, I had no luck finding Uchiha Shisui's corpse, and Jiraiya's body rests deep in the ocean, below unfathomable depths.  Though Danzou's right eye and the Six Paths of Pain's weapons should still carry their DNA...

So, that's a pretty simple but fundamental requirement.


The police lose their chance to question their suspect, possibly hampering ongoing investigations (including information on Makishima).

The premise in the series is that Sybil can identify any criminal with a simple mental scan, and most of the city is scanned constantly for stress levels and such. Hence, killing off a criminal won't hamper any sort of investigation, because all criminals are found just in time. In other words, there is no such thing as organized crime, because the rigorous scanning measures always detect everything in the city.

... Which is of course flawed. Individuals like Makishima can't be detected. However, as we learn later in the series, such "criminals" have a special role in the system, so we can ignore them.

  It is ethically questionable to destroy someone's body; Japanese culture would probably want an intact body for a proper mourning and
  funeral.

Sybil has crafted a peaceful society by making objective, calculated decisions. It has determined that an individual with a criminal coefficient greater than 300 has no salvation, and is only a danger for everyone else. I think it is a key feature of the series to display a society that is culturally different from ours.


Is the last scene in The Last: Naruto the Movie the end of Naruto?

There's currently an on-going manga about a future story titled Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring.

At the end of The Last: Naruto the Movie, there is an announcement for the next movie called Boruto: Naruto the Movie. (Thanks to Ankit Sharma for pointing this out)


No.

Firstly How to Use: IV Point 1 says

  The person in possession of the Death Note is possessed by a god of death, its original owner, until they die.

This ties with the numerous references of a Shinigami following the owner. This also ties to Light's original fear about being identified by Misa (the second Kira) in Episode 13 - Confessions (or it may have been the episode before).

In the episode, Light found out that Ryuk would always tail him, which led him to question if Misa's Shinigami could see him and possibly tell Misa who Ryuk was following. So when Light and Matsuda went to try and intercept the meeting between the 2 Kira's, Light brought a bunch of his friends so Ryuk was hoving above all of them (we later learn Misa found Light because of her Shinigami Eyes).

   In the Manga, Near smiled to himself when he saw Ryuk at the end because he touched the Death Note, confirming that Light was Kira

In How to Use: XIII, it talks about lending a Death Note and how a lender will not be followed. Since a Shinigami follows the owner, this will be problematic if the 2 owners are quite some distance apart, i.e. when Mikami has the Death Note.

Finally, you seem to be confused with what Light was actually doing when he was holding onto the Death Note. The real reason why he was holding onto it was because when Higuchi would die, whoever holds the Death Note next would become its next owner. Remember that you don't have to be the owner to regain your memories, as Light regain his while Higuchi was still the owner.

Since the Death Note was discovered, there was really no risk to Light if Higuchi lived and blabbed about it's usage, since Higuchi was following the fake rules too (the only risk would be if he could kill Higuchi after 13 days from the last name). This is why Light killed him with the scarp of the Death Note in his watch and held onto the Death Note, to make sure that no one else became the next owner.

This ties into How to Use: XIV, Point 2

  If the Death Note is stolen and the owner is killed by the thief, its ownership will automatically be transferred to the thief.

Technically, Light stole the Death Note from Higuchi, so when Higuchi died, Light became the new owner.

This next part is speculation as I don't have too much to base this on. Since it is a what if scenario but in the situation where both Light and L were holding onto it, I dare say either of these scenarios would occur:

Whoever is the last person touching the Death Note becomes the owner, though this would be a problem for Light, had L insisted he confiscate the Death Note as evidence and it ended up as a stand off. (This book seemed to the the key to Kira's killing ability, so why is Light is insistent that L to be the one to let go first, unless he knows what this book is which would make him more likely to be the original Kira)
Whoever first physically touched the Death Note is the owner, probably measured in milliseconds, and if we can count on the preciseness of the Times of Death (much more likely).


How much of the manga does the Knights of Sidonia anime cover?

According to Manga Updates, the first season of Knights of Sidonia starts at Vol 1, Chap 1 and ends at Vol 6, Chap 26.


Are the Homunculi abilities based on the sins?

No, this isn't generally the case.

Greed (both pre- and post-"death") has the ability to modify the carbon in his body to be rock-hard. This is not reflected in the fourth circle of Dante's Inferno nor in the Bible as far as I can tell.
Pride has the power of the shadows and of omnipresence. As far as I know, pride is generally represented Biblically as a giant, so there's little correlation here.

Wrath and Sloth could potentially be connected.

Wrath has the all-seeing eye. Though there is nothing about this in Dante's Inferno, this could be a reference to the potentially wrathful statement in the Bible, "an eye for an eye". However, I'd consider this a bit of a stretch.
Lust has the ability to make longer fingernails. I suppose this could be seen as a use of her beauty to kill others, but again, a bit of a stretch. She also seems to have no correlation to the second circle of the Inferno.
Sloth possesses great power and skill, and yet wastes it; this isn't really his ability per se, but he does use it in a slothful manner.

I believe, though, that Gluttony and Envy are the only ones who share a strong-ish connection.

Gluttony, as you mentioned, wants to (and is able to) eat essentially infinitely.
Envy has the ability to appear however he likes; as his jealousy later reveals, his envy of humans causes him to use his ability to take the human form.

It's worth noting that most of the homunculi have some form of their story connected to their sin. Wrath, for example, loses his arms, as in Dante's Inferno; Lust's death by fire and wind is also a reference to how the lustful are killed in the second circle; and in the Bible, it states that "the slothful will be put to forced labor." A few of the sins have some aspect of their appearance related to their sin as well.

However, despite all this, it does not seem that most of their abilities relate to their sins, or the stories that accompany them.

How was San-Juan Wolf put in the Impel Down?

It's not obvious, but there are a few possibilities.

They could have a devil fruit user working for the world government who's able to somehow get him in. For example, Law would be able to do this with his fruit by cutting Wolf up, and it's possible Blackbeard got Wolf out by absorbing him into a black hole and using "Liberation" to set him free outside.

The other obvious possibility is that there is a second, much larger entrance to Impel Down underwater, and Wolf was brought in by a giant submarine.

It could be either of these, or something else entirely, it seems ridiculous, but in the world of One Piece almost anything is possible.


Why was Fritz put on the throne as a king?

Why did the royal government put King Fritz on the throne? It was never stated directly but as seen throughout the revelations in the manga, the former king Karl Fritz always wanted to erase any memory and information about Titans and the outside world. As stated here,

  Fritz held the belief that the world would have been better off if Titans and Eldians never existed and he considered his people to be sinners.

In Chapter 66, Fritz's descendants who inherited his Titan also inherited this belief of a world ruled by Titans as 'true peace' and as stated here,

  this influence is so strong that even people that wanted to stop the Titans changed their minds when they received the power, deciding not to make a move and refusing to reveal the reason, even to their own families.

This, to me, is the reason why this led to the placement of the fake king: aside from preventing Eldians from discovering any information about anything outside the walls, this was also to protect the identity of the Titan shifter within the royal family. If the people within the walls found out about the Coordinate and the hostility of other nations, they would, naturally, want the Founding Titan to defend them. This goes against Karl Fritz's wish, who was ready to accept punishment with arms wide open. This will is inherited by his descendants who hold the Founding Titan and as stated above, they are forced to accept this will whether they like it or not.

How did Erwin and the Survey Corps know that he was a fake king? In Chapter 55, Hannes and Levi were torturing Djel Sannes from Military Police Brigade who they captured. Sannes himself stated that:

  The Reiss Family is the true royal bloodline.

Erwin was then shown receiving the information from a messenger.


Why did Yoshihiro Togashi recycle designs from Yu Yu Hakusho for his characters in Hunter x Hunter?

As you can see from these comments by me, @seijitsu, and @eha1234, there's a considerable amount of skepticism over how "recycled" these designs really are.

  Me: Personally, I don't think the characters in this question even
  look that similar, not compared to Ken Akamatsu's Naru and Asuna, or
  the Ai Yazawa and Naoko Takeuchi characters that seijitsu mentioned in
  regard to the "same faces" question.

  eha1234: Yusuke and Gon have very different personalities and I think
  the green scheme is only present in the anime - the manga is black and
  white. Hiei and Killua's demeanour isn't the same. Killua, when
  relaxed, is quite playful whilst Hiei is silent. They've both got
  tragic pasts though. Many of Togashi's characters have androgynous
  appearances, especially in Hunter x Hunter: Kalluto Zoldyck and Pitou
  for example. I would say although the character designs are similar in
  some respects, they're all unique and different too.

  seijitsu: Yuusuke does arguably wear a green seifuku in the manga, but
  otherwise I agree with eha1234 that the characters' personalities are
  not very similar and with Torisuda that the characters do not look
  very similar.

If Yusuke and Gon both had hair which was a particular shade of periwinkle only expressible in the CMYK color space, I might agree that the similarity was significant, but black hair doesn't quite make it. You can see characters which are much more similar in appearance in seijitsu's answer to "Why do anime and manga use the same faces?". And if having multiple characters with androgynous appearances constitutes recycling, then all shoujo artists have been recycling the same male character design at least since the 1990s. If anything, Togashi is doing better than many mangaka at not recycling character designs, as eha1234 points out.

There are answers to the question "Why would a mangaka recycle the characters' visual appearances?" over at "Is it common for mangaka to maintain the same character design between different titles?", so I'll focus on the personality issue. At this point we're really talking about writing, which cuts across all media. If you follow the works of individual writers of any medium—literature, manga, Western graphic novels, visual novels—you'll notice that it's quite common for writers to have characters with similar personalities across several works. For example:

Stephen King often has a tough, brassy guy who swears a lot that everyone looked up to; he also likes to have a kid or intellectually disabled man with psychic powers.
Gen Urobuchi likes to have an idealistic character whose ideals are a little too rigid, and slowly destroy everything the character believed in before sending them to a miserable death (Sayaka in Madoka and Kariya Matou in Fate/Zero). I asked a question about whether the similarities between another pair of Urobuchi characters was intentional.
Ken Akamatsu had three manga starring an energetic, caring, somewhat tsundere girl with thick eyebrows (Cindy in AI ga Tomaranai, Naru in Love Hina, Asuna in Negima). Two of these manga (AI and Love Hina) also had a young blonde troublemaker, and two of them (Love Hina and Negima) had a shy and quiet girl with short hair and a secret, passionate crush on the main character.

There are lots of reasons why writers do this. Sometimes it's because of a theme that cuts across all of their work. Sometimes the character represents some portion of the author's personality that keeps seeping into their work. Sometimes the author wants to put similar characters into very different situations and see how this changes things. I haven't read or watched Hunter x Hunter, but from what I understand it's more lighthearted than Yu Yu Hakusho; perhaps Togashi wanted to explore how similar characters would behave in a more lighthearted story. From what eha1234 says in the comment quoted above, there are also some quite profound differences in personality between the Yu Yu Hakusho characters and the Hunter x Hunter characters; it's possible the purported similarities are a complete coincidence. We can't know exactly unless Togashi stated in an interview somewhere why he did it, or whether he even intended to do it.

Of course, in a visual medium like manga, if the writer reuses a certain personality, it often makes sense to give that character a similar appearance as well, because appearance and personality are closely related in anime and manga.


Why could Goten and Gohan not resist the Baby controlling them while Trunks was able to?

Trunks has always been stronger than Goten.

When they learned to merge, in the Buu Saga, this was clearly proven, since as Piccolo said, Trunks had to lower their power level, to get equal to Goten, and Goten needed to increase his so that both were in balance and can merge.

So maybe, because of that difference in power, Goten could be controlled, but not Trunks.


What is the difference between "Boruto: Naruto Next Generation" manga and "Boruto: Naruto the Movie"?

From watching the movie and reading the manga, as it stands, there are only a few differences.

The natural difference is simply pacing. The movie stretches the content out a bit, but the manga covers a near identical story over the course of 9 chapters, at 40-45 pages each. This is normal.

As for major differences, there is only 1 major difference I found, and it's inconsequential to the story as a whole if you limit the scope to just the 9 chapters and the movie. The manga is set to continue however, I believe anyway, and if it does, it might in the future build off any of its changes. But in terms of the 9 chapters vs the movie, outside of that one difference, the rest are minor and likely will not affect the story in the future.

As for what that difference is, for those who have not watched/read both:

   It's the form Momoshiki takes on after he consumes his guardian Kinshiki. In the movie, he takes on a red skinned demon look with pointy chin and a larger overall body. In the manga, his body changes very little, he gets covered in black markings. His 5 eyes (2 normal, 1 forehead, 2 on his hands), 3 of which are Rinnegan, are depicted as yellow. Because of this, the fight plays out differently, but overall, many of the same moves are used, and the end result is virtually identical.

That being said, if you can, watching the movie and reading the series can be entertaining, but if you limit yourself to only one of the two, the manga is the better one, since it's probably going to keep going, giving you more story to read. It's also the safer option to read the manga anyway, since those minor differences indeed might affect future story, but if you watched the movie instead, you would have missed them.


What's the proper viewing order of Hidamari Sketch series?

You might as well watch them in production/publishing order:

Hidamari Sketch
Hidamari Sketch (special)
Hidamari Sketch × 365 (TV)
Hidamari Sketch × 365 (special)
Hidamari Sketch × Hoshimittsu (TV)
Hidamari Sketch × Hoshimittsu (special)
Hidamari Sketch × SP (special)
Hidamari Sketch × Honeycomb (TV) (sequel)
Hidamari Sketch: Sae/Hiro Sotsugyō-hen (OAV)

(listing from ANN's page.  Everything except the last OAV is on Hulu - the specials are part of the previous main season)

The problem is that episodes aren't completely in chronological order.  There're two groups:

Hidamari Sketch + Hidamari Sketch × 365 (Yuno & Miyako year 1)
× Hoshimittsu + × SP + × Honeycomb + Sae/Hiro Sotsugyō-hen (Yuno & Miyako year 2)

Episodes in the first groups are less ordered.  Episodes in the second group are more in order, but also have some episodes that chronologically take place during the first group.


Can Sarada Uchiha activate the rinnegan?

Sasuke has Karin's Chakra (through Uzumaki blood line, being the descendants of Asura Ōtsutsuki) too, since he had used her ability to heal himself by drinking her blood.

First of all I would like to correct this misconception. Sasuke obtained his rinnegan powers After receiving half of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's chakra, not by drinking the blood of karin.

Ninjutsu haven't been shown to have any form of lingering chakra effects, making it highly unlikely this one would have had. The chakra would likely be used up immediately to heal said critical wounds.

Now coming back to your original question

  My question is, if Sarada possess Indra's and Asura's Chakra, can she awaken the Rinnegan, as the way Sasuke had did?

Yes, if she has both types of chakra, which is highly likely due to Sasuke having both, she could. But not in the same way as Sasuke did, as this would require Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's to sacrfice his chakra to her.

However the likelihood she will active the rinnegan is close to non, as this would require larger amounts of Asura and Indra's chakra. Which even took Madara decades while actively producing the chakra through DNA infusion.


Why didn't Minato's shroud change when he used Tailed Beast Mode?

According to the wiki, the difference between "Nine-tails Chakra Mode" and "Kurama Mode", the one you called "Tailed Beast Mode" is simply that Naruto learned Kyuubi's name: Kurama. At that point, Kurama wasn't just lending Naruto chakra, they were fighting together.

I would guess that Minato never learned to fight together with Kurama or ALWAYS fought together with it, so Kurama never changed Minato's appearance.

The wiki actually defined "Tailed Beast Mode" when the Jinchuuriki assumes their tailed beast's form:

This is both Naruto and Minato in "Tailed Beast Mode" performing a combined Rasengan.


Why could Tetsuo's hand reproduce many flesh, muscles and veins using his ESP?

In the manga, it is explained that the power that gives Tetsuo his psychokinetic abilities is trying to break free, as his body is no longer enough to contain it. To compensate for this, his body is trying to absorb material from all around him. As for why he could produce additional matter, the power trying to break free might be partially converting energy into additional mass during his breakdown, allowing him to generate additional flesh.


How is that possible for Priscilla to kill Teresa?

@Memor-X was right, when Priscilla killed Teresa, Priscilla was already in an awakened state. It's true that Teresa could read the movement of her opponent because Teresa can sense the strength and speed of yoma energy flowing through her opponent's body. However, when Teresa fought Priscilla, Teresa couldn't read her movements because there was too much yoma power coming from all over Priscilla's body.

Claymore Chapter 22, Marked For Death 5, Page 26

But of course, Teresa was still able to match her. She was using just enough yoma power for her eye color to change to counter Priscilla. However, when Priscilla passed her limit, she begged for Teresa to kill her and Teresa turned back to her normal state, seeing Priscilla on her knees. At this point Teresa probably couldn't read Priscilla's movements and let her guard down for a moment leading to Priscilla being able to kill her.

In your comment, it's true that when Clare awakened and became Teresa, she could beat Priscilla. However, Teresa was that strong only because of Clare's feelings toward Teresa.

from Claymore final chapter, Last Scene, Page 7


Does Izanagi really require both Senju and Uchiha DNA?

Summary

Izanagi is a technique available to all Uchiha members with the Sharingan, but it has various levels of effectiveness:

  The Uchiha, descended from the Sage, are able to perform Izanagi with their Sharingan ... To use Izanagi to its full potential, users must also have the genetic traits of the Senju, who are also descended from the Sage.

So, Itachi didn't lie, Obito didn't lie, and it is not a plothole. You can see how my answer clashes with the accepted answer.

Normal Izanagi

For normal Sharingan users, Izanagi can help you change reality for a brief moment.

Incomplete Izanagi (it's better)

For Sharingan users with Hashirama's DNA, it extends the lifespan of the jutsu. Since Danzo had Senju DNA in his right arm, he was able to extend Izanagi for each eye up to a minute.

  Danzō had some of Hashirama Senju's DNA transplanted into his arm, which extended the time span of each Sharingan's Izanagi to a minute. However, because Danzō is not an Uchiha, his chakra levels drop substantially every time a new Sharingan is used to activate the technique.

The Complete Form of Izanagi (the best)

Finally, we have the Uchiha members who can control Hashirama's DNA — Obito and Madara. Obito's Izanagi can last much longer than Danzo's (surviving Konan's signature move), and he doesn't need to use any hand seals. As for Madara, he never uses Izanagi with Senju's DNA transplanted into him, although it is shown that Senju's DNA heals his right eye in the end.

  Obito also makes use of Hashirama's DNA but, in contrast to Danzō, he claims to have gained control over Hashirama's DNA and as such, boasts the completed form of Izanagi. Showing evidence to this claim, Obito could maintain this technique's power much longer with a single eye than Danzō and could perform it with no hand seals at all.

Madara's Izanagi Trick

Madara had the Izanagi activated after his death, and his blind eye was healed by Hashirama's DNA.

  But Madara had planned ahead: he had scheduled an Izanagi to activate sometime after his death, changing reality to bring him back to life in exchange for his right eye's vision ... went into hiding with ... a mouthful of Hashirama's flesh that he transplanted into his wounds .. in the process restoring his right eye.


Why would Hinata leave Naruto in 'The Last'?

Hinata chose to left Naruto and went with Toneri because..

Hinata and the others doesn't know where Toneri's castle in which Hanabi is in.
She did that to save her sister.
And to learn what other future plans Toneri intends to do.


I think it's because sasuke lost a lot of his powers after he sealed kaguya. (Naruto even list his SOSP (sage of six paths) more).
Sasuke only had his rinnegan, ad so, I don't think he can restore his arm using asura path technique


What does the third eye of the Sage of the Six Paths do?

From the Wiki

   After awakening his Rinnegan, he also manifested a red circle marking with two ripples patterns in the centre of his forehead, seemingly a byproduct of his ultimate dōjutsu manifested alongside his senjutsu training.

It references episode 426 of Naruto Shippuden and suggests it wasn't a true eye but rather a marking. There's no way to be sure if it gave him any special powers, but all

   abilities he exhibited were in line with what we know was possible via his Rinnegan / Mangekyo / Senjutsu abilities so it doesn't seem to have given him anything.

Additionally it's flat and lacks the depth that Kaguya's third eye had, also suggesting it was simply a marking. The best theory I can come up with is that it was an incomplete manifestation of Kaguya's third eye.


Why is Ed able to exchange his knowledge?

What does it mean that Ed exchanged his Gate?
In the context of Ed's final transmutation (in which he exchanges his Gate for Alphonse), the Gate represents his ability to do alchemy, rather than his knowledge of alchemy. In chapter 108, Truth tells Edward:

The Gate of Truth exists within everyone. That is how everyone can use alchemy.

Notice that the emphasis is probably on the potential to do alchemy. (Not everyone has the talent or knowledge to do alchemy in the universe of Fullmetal Alchemist!) Although what is beyond the Gate is alchemical knowledge, per the discussion surrounding Ed and Al's human transmutation attempt, that is not what is involved here. (One way to think of it may be to regard the Gate as necessary in alchemy because alchemical knowledge must be "let out" when there is a transmutation, but I digress.)
Thus, even after his final transmutation, Ed is able to learn about alchemy; he simply cannot put it into practice. (In fact, at the end of the manga, the brothers travel to learn more about alchemy.)
Could Alphonse have exchanged his Gate instead?
In general, one cannot trade one's Gate for something else. (See the discussion at Why can't Roy Mustang bring his eyes back using his gate? for details.) However, it seems possible in theory that Al might have been able to exchange his Gate for something after the connection between his and Ed's was discovered. Some possibilities as to why Al did not carry out such a transmutation:

Transmuting one's Gate for what was lost in one's human transmutation attempt is not necessarily an obvious line of thought. The idea may not have occurred to Ed or Al before Promised Day. Note that Ed only comes up with the idea after Al has sacrificed himself, not earlier, not even when Alphonse was starting to have problems with his body of armor.

Alphonse wanted to recover Ed's limbs; sacrificing his ability to do alchemy for his body would have prevented him from achieving that goal. Alternatively, had Alphonse exchanged his alchemical ability (i.e. his Gate) for Ed's limbs, it might have become impossible for his body to be recovered. Al's body sits at his own Gate, so if the Gate were removed, it might have become inaccessible.


Is Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters Part of the Adventure Timeline?

No, it's not. Digimon (not Appmon) in Appmon are explicitly fictional, though an Agumon leaves its video game at one point. Additionally, the Adventure epilogue shows a world where everyone has Digimon, but in Appmon it's a world much like our own.
(Another note: That 'in the year 2045' thing at the beginning of each episode is quoting a certain AI researcher, not establishing the setting. Appmon is implied to be set in 2016.)


Why does Zankyou no Terror's OP end with a disclaimer?

It's only a speculation, but my best guess is that Zankyou no Terror is handling with a real life scenario that just might happen to us in the real world (and that's little scary).

Unlike other animes that have super powers (like a Death Note, or an ability to launch a destructive energy projectile, etc.), in this anime, there are no supernatural abilities as far as it's shown to us.

So the author of the series wants to give us some sort of "warning" that what we see is not really based on events in real life, and the we shouldn't start copying the protagonist behavior (And if we do, the owners are not legally responsible for it).


Who is this gorilla that carried Sengoku on its shoulder?

It's the gorilla that was transformed to a toy.

From the chapter 743:


What is the "SNAFU" in My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU?

I suspect that whoever decided to use the "SNAFU" translation for the title was going for the original military acronym "Situation Normal, All Fucked Up", rather than the contemporary non-military meaning of "something that has gone wrong".

Why? Well, the title in Japanese is "yahari... machigatteru", which means "...wrong, as one would expect". If that isn't a borderline literal (if less vulgar) equivalent of "Situation Normal, All Fucked Up", I don't know what is.

(This is also, in my >opinion, a better translation choice than "...is wrong as expected", which is relatively unnatural and pretty obviously directly calqued from Japanese.)
