Wouldn't Yuta destroy the world every time he takes a bath?

Since it is an original anime series, there is little canon material outside the videos themselves.

So lets attempt to delve into Yuuta's psyche using another strongly male-self-identifed character: Ranma Saotome.

Ranma could change back into a boys' body, but nowhere in the whole series he got turned on by his own female body. There were times when he was embarassed, but even when male and female Ranma got separated, there were no chemistry between them, at least from the male side. (chapter ref pending).

We can also bring the panty fanservice that is abundant in shonen titles.

  These factors all come into play for the Japanese panty fetish. First, panties were long associated with the risque. Not only do they cover up desirable bits, but they also have a strong association with high-class prostitution. Second, panties tend to reflect a lady’s personal tastes in fabric, lace, and design. They also have connotations of wealth since originally only the wealthy could afford such luxuries. Finally, the up-skirt shot originated from when women were adapting to the less constrictive Western styles and developing feelings of shame with underwear exposure. These associations merged into the panty fetish and fan service we see in Japanese culture and anime today. (ref)

Also, Yuuta uses boxers. Maybe it gets a little loose in the front, but lets assume he is used to it.

In ep9 flashback at 15:30, Narugino and Yuuta stumble onto each other on the front porch, causing Yuuta's bag to burst open. Narugino accidentally grabs one of Yuuta's boxers.

So, from these arguments:

Yuuta is not turned on by his own female body
Yuuta has a panty fetish. We can safely assume he is more turned on by a pretty (or daring!) panty than naked female genitalia.
Yuuta does not uses female underwear. We can also consider that Chiyoko's (Narugino original body) teen body is underdeveloped, and he does not need a bra, or uses other ways of holding/hiding the breasts.

We can then add the final statement: When he returns to his body in ep7, Chiranosuke (the ghost cat) tells him that if his Uberfy goes overboard in his spirit form, the physical body (possessed by another timeline's Yuuta) dies.

So, if he bathes on his physical body, he would only drop unconscious from over Uberfy-ing if he did Uberfy from his own female body (we showed he wouldn't).

Also there is the issue if viewing the same thing twice in a short time counts as two viewings. Every time he blew up he had seen two separate sets of panties.


Is there a reason for this broken "Fly"?

This is likely a bug in Crunchyroll's subtitle renderer. Relevant excerpts from the subtitle file for this episode:

Nothing here indicates that the word "Fly" was supposed to be broken across two lines. If it was, there would be a \N newline in the markup like so: Fl\Ny. (I cannot think of any reason why any reasonable person would want to break it as "Fl" + "y" anyway.)

I do not know what technology Crunchyroll uses to render its subtitles, so I cannot speculate any further as to the exact cause of this issue.

As to how I obtained this file in the first place - I could spin you a narrative about how Crunchyroll clearly uses softsubs (since you can turn them off or change languages without Crunchyroll having to re-load a different version of the video), and so the softsubs must be transmitted to your browser, and from that point it just becomes a trivial matter of intercepting the web request that contains the softsubs and going from there. But really, I sailed the seven seas. (Don't worry, I pay for a Crunchyroll subscription.)


Is this purported video showing the ending real or fake?

This is fake. Unless someone can point me to the dvd/blu-ray version this can be found on. Definitely not original airing.  Further more the art seems a little off to be Lelouch, (chin is a little sharp).  Chances are this is spliced in from another anime.

P.S. - Not biased response, as I personally think he lived due to the Lelouch of the Rebellion movie they are working on as well as the popular code immortality factor.


What is the difference when a jutsu is performed by weaving only some of it's seals and when performed by weaving all of them?

Weaving signs is a chakra manipulation technique that enables you to gather it in specific ways to execute specific techniques based off the chakra nature of the individual.

These signs are defined as seals and can be read about in the seals wiki in narutopedia.

As quoted in the wiki :

  While techniques may require a number of hand seals to work, a skilled ninja can use less or even one to perform the same technique.

It is also noted that some shinobi can master a technique so well that they can perform instantaneously without weaving signs but this takes years of training or an abnormally strong level of chakra control.

For instance Sasuke and chidori in the shippuden series is a common example of mastery as he learned to perform the technique seamlessly without needing time to weave.

Minato was also known for this with the flying raijin and rasengan.

As a shinobi masters a technique they are able to use less seals, one hand, and even no seals.


What is the stance of Evangelion creators (Including but not limited to Hideaki Anno) on the "Death of Author" concept, regarding the series?

The answer to your question must be a resounding "Yes, as far as Shinseki Evangelion is concerned, Anno Hideaki and team are firmly in the 'Author is Dead' camp when it comes to explanations for the franchise." The broader context of the quote from Anno that you've provided in your question, goes into more detail:

  Evangelion is like a puzzle, you know. Any person can see it and give
  his/her own answer. In other words, we’re offering viewers to think by
  themselves, so that each person can imagine his/her own world. We will
  never offer the answers, even in the theatrical version. As for many
  Evangelion viewers, they may expect us to provide the ‘all-about Eva’
  manuals, but there is no such thing. Don’t expect to get answers by
  someone. Don’t expect to be catered to all the time. We all have to
  find our own answers.”
  – Anno Hideaki

This is not really surprising, as it's the only stance consistent with the themes and aims of the franchise itself, being based as it is on the philosophical platform of 'postmodern existentialism.' In this schema, there is no such thing as 'objective meaning', only meanings constructed by each individual as a function of their own existence.


Where did Kagami Taiga live when he lived in the US?

The only indication offhand gets kinda spoilery but

Character Spoiler:

   Unrevealed yet in the anime as of episode 1 of Kuroko no Basket S2, Alexandra Garcia, was a college champion in the NCAA from UCLA. In her retirement, she frequented betting courts on the streets (which could technically be anywhere) and eventually runs into Taiga & Himuro.

Event Spoiler:

   Alexandra trains Taiga & Himuro as kids. Later on Taiga decides to receive training once more from his old master by returning to Los Angeles, so it's pretty suggested that everything took place in SoCal. Here's a pic of an announced airline destination: Chapter 111, page 19 from Batoto.net

I tried to minimize unnecessary spoiling information. Overall, a bit circumstantial, but still enough for me to presume that they're in Southern California.


Is there a name for this manga-anime mouth expression? (`3`)

This is a pout, and is based on the real life expression of the same name.

While it can be used as way of making oneself look more attractive, it's more often used (especially in anime) as a childish way of expressing displeasure or annoyance, in a similar way to the puffed out cheeks expression.

See here and here for additional definitions.

The "3 face pout" is an exaggerated form of a pout, and there are other less extreme cases to be found elsewhere. Some examples of varying intensity are included below.

Additionally, the "3-face" is not limited to only a pout. As a shorthand form of displaying puckered lips, it can also be seen upon characters either awaiting or giving a kiss, or on those whistling.


Why is the leader of Tanuki Society a "Trick Meister"

Here's a really good collection of references about Tanuki folklore: http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/tanuki.shtml

Some of the things that it mentions:

  Tanuki assumed human form, haunted and possessed people, and were considered omens of misfortune. Many centuries later in Japan, they evolved into irrepressible tricksters, aiming their illusory magic and mystifying belly-drum music at unwary travelers, hunters, woodsmen, and monks.

...

  These tricksters can transform into any living or inanimate shape. Real Tanuki live in the lowlands, forests, and mountain valleys, and therefore Tanuki are most often shown playing tricks on hunters and woodsmen. But they also enjoy misleading learned scholars, and therefore shape-shift into Buddhist monks (as do foxes) with a deep knowledge of the sutras. They can cast powerful illusions (like foxes), turn pebbles and leaves into fake money or dung into a delicious-looking dinner, conjure up mirages of entire cities and palaces, appear as one-eyed demons able to produce thunder and rain, rob the bodies of the dead, and cause pebbles to rain from the sky. In some tales, they are even gifted calligraphers.

Throughout, it portrays tanuki as trickters, playing various kinds of tricks on practically everybody. So it makes sense that the title of the leader of the Tanuki Society is a "Trick master". Additionally, the article goes into some detail about the evolution of some of the lore, and less about playing tricks:

  Although the Japanese continue to classify Tanuki as a yōkai 妖怪 (monster, spirit, specter, fantastic/strange being), the creature today is no longer frightening or mysterious. Instead, it has shape-changed into a harmless and amusing fellow, one more interested in encouraging generosity and cheerfulness among winers and diners than in annoying humankind with its tricks. Tanuki are also portrayed as cute and lovable characters in modern cartoons and movies -- even as mascots in commercial campaigns.

So perhaps following the evolution of the lore, the show doesn't portray them playing tricks on people all the time.


Where does the "You are 100 years to early" trope come from?

The catchphrase comes from character Akira Yuki from the Virtua Fighter series, and was popularized as a seiyuu meme (basically a meme associated to a voice actor) related to famous voice actor Shin-ichiro Miki.

Akira is the main character of the Virtua Fighter series, and his catchphrase was used in every game of the series, starting with the first opus in 1993 for arcade.

  十年早いんだよ！

  It's ten years too early! [for you to win against me]

History of jyuunen hayaindayo! (youtube)

After the success of the first game, a Virtua Fighter anime is produced in 1995, with Shin-ichiro Miki acting the voice of Akira. Since then, Shin-ichiro Miki voiced the character in every installment of the series.

The catchphrase gained popularity and became an easter egg related to Shin-ichiro Miki.

Notably, Shin-ichiro voiced in 1996 Ryuusei Date, the main character of the game Shin Super Robot Taisen (Shin Super Robot Wars). In this game, Ryuusei says the famous sentence. With the success of the Shin Super Robot Taisen game, the catchphrase will gain even more momentum afterwards.

In the following games of the Robot Taisen series, Ryuusei said the catchphrase again, and, starting with Super Robot Taisen α (2000), Ryuusei got more confident and started adding years to the sentence:

  百年早いんだよ！

  It's 100 years too early!

Ryuusei didn't stop there, and a 1000 years, then a million years variation ensued in the following games. Eventually, Ryuusei got back to 10 years in the more recent installments of the Super Robot Taisen games.

At this point in time, it is a nod to Shin-ichiro Miki to mention the catchphrase, and it is interesting to note that the seiyuu played a part in most major shounen anime, even though most are also minor roles.


Why did the Akatsuki wait for 3 years before resuming their mission of gathering the Tailed Beasts?

They didn't paused there mission and resumed it later but they continued it behind the curtains. They have to capture tailed beast by an order and Naruto falls in last number and then they needed preparation too for sealing beats and location ensuring etc. They also had non-trustable member to deal with and maybe some other background stuff behind the curtains.


What's the title of this anime about a girl and her servant in a hotel?

Judging on your preferences, it might be "Inu x Boku" which is aired in Winter 2012.


Why do sword owners tap them with a fluffy ball on a stick?

This “fluffy ball” is a standard part of any sword care kit (see the red ball in the picture below). It contains some sort of powder ‒ I believe chalk ‒ that is used gather and bind any fluids on the sword before oiling it again. (That powder acts sort of like a sponge.)

When cleaning your sword you will usually use clean water to remove any big pieces of dirt, then distribute this chalk powder all over your sword by “poking” the “fluffy ball” on the sword and then use a clean cloth to wipe the blade clean before putting the oil on it and distributing it evenly.


What are those zigzagged folded paper things you see in supernatural anime?

The Zigzag-shaped paper streamers are called Shide and are used in Shinto rituals. They can be seen in many animes that are located near Shinto shrines. To create one you can cut out a piece of paper like the diagram below and fold the paper along the dotted lines.


What is the song that plays when the results of the failed transmutation are dug up?

It's FMA Brotherhood OST 2 - Anticipation: this is a link to the full track.


All I found online was a forum thread on Oro Jackson which list the characters with confirmed heights according to the forum's OP. There is no one source for all this: I presume all this info comes from SBS and data books.

Anyway, Smoker is apparently 185 cm. This makes sense if we look at the picture below as Zorro's height is 178 cm before the time skip according to the volume 10 SBS.


What are the dots inside the eyes when someone uses Sharingan?

These dots are called tomoe.

  When first awakened, each Sharingan usually will have only one tomoe (巴). Through training and continued use, the Sharingan will develop a second tomoe and then, upon full maturation, a third. All the Sharingan's abilities are available to the user from its earliest stage, but with greater development comes greater proficiency with those abilities.

For example during their first fight in the Valley of the End Sasuke was able to easily see Narutos movements after obtaining the third tomoe in one of his eyes, when he couldn't dodge them at all earlier.


Just what was the flower we saw that day?

The flower in question is a Forget-me-not.
One theory is that the poem of the same name, by McGonagall1, is the story upon which AnoHana is loosely based2.

McGonagall's Gem, Abridged
In the poem, a knight falls into a river after foolishly leaping over a river to fetch his betrothed a flower which she asked for, then realizing he couldn't swim (...while swimming back), finally crying "Forget me not", while handing her the flower.

It would seem Jinta plays the role of the Maiden, and Menma the role of the Knight.
The other theory is that Menma is coming back to remind Jinta et al that she's still there; many of them have become withdrawn, and want to forget about her death.
Poppo actually puts various flowers into the jar at Menma's death site, Daisies being among them. Something tells me he's not in on the whole Forget-me-not voodoo.
And finally yes, the Blue Bookmark is also a Forget-me-not.
1: He is arguably one of the worst poets in British history, which makes me ponder why such a gem was chosen for a noitaminA show.
2: There is no official word of this, but McGonagall's story seems in-line with the circumstances of Menma's death; they're both based on the forget-me-not, and they're both accidental drowning while their loved one watched.


The person (Well technically not people) you spotted are called "easter eggs".

  Src from here: fairytail.answers.wikia.com

  In every episode, at least once, a little creature is placed somewhere.... These creatures are known as "easter eggs", as they appear in the anime but serve no purpose. They are not part of the plot, nor an important factor in the anime.....

Here is a YouTube video of all the easter eggs that appear in fairy tail. If you want to see the scene that you referred to, just skip to 3:26.

Different types that appear (Sometimes multiple times are)

Green one's with a white square with arms and legs
An Exceed
A little pink mouse

And some others too like these:

Oh yeah, and look, I found the green "easter egg" from the photo you provided too. ^^


How many times has Ash enrolled in Pokemon School?

In the new-ish Sun & Moon series Ash enrolls in Pokémon School, to my knowledge this is the only time he formally enrols into any school or long-term training program.

Other appearances of formal education in the anime include:

The Pokémon Trainers' School where Ash gives a guest lecture
Pokémon Ninja School where he goes to learn Jujutsu (which doesn't really directly apply to Pokémon)
Pokémon Tech where Jessie and James went to school
The Pokémon Summer Academy where Ash enrols in the Diamond & Pearl era. I'd count it, but it's more of a summer camp / summer school thing that only lasts a week (or 4 episodes).


What's the music when Frieza powers up from base form to his final form in the dubbed version of "Revival of F"?

Most of this is a summary of the paper Maid in Japan:
An Ethnographic Account of Alternative Intimacy by Patrick W. Galbraith (author of 'the otaku encyclopaedia')

  The first maid costume in Japanese popular culture came from the erotic anime series Cream Lemon, part 11: Black Cat Mansion in 1986. (Hiroki Azuma, Otaku: Japan's Database Animals, Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2009, p. 42.)

It's worth reading the full paper as it's quite interesting.

Galbraith mentions that they maid cafés may have evolved from hostess clubs, but with the new 'moe' and cute appeal that was starting to gain momentum in the 1970s

A game that specifically had maid cafés in it was Welcome to Pia Carrot!! and is usually tied to the start of this trend. Furthermore, the first maid café to be set up was in 1998 , as a special event for the game.

The first permanent café Cure Maid Café was set up in 2001 and in the years between then and 2011 a massive 386 cafés were set up (although the majority have closed, there still remains many today)

When was the first time Goku turned into SSJ2?

The main way you can differentiate between SSJ and SSJ2 is that SSJ2 has electricity in the aura, or to quote the Dragon Ball Wiki for SSJ2:

  The golden hair brought on by the original transformation becomes longer and rigid and stands up even more. Some users like Gohan, Goku, Vegito and Bardock lose a few strands of hair. Increased energy radiation causes the aura to take on a jagged, fierce flame-like appearance rather than smooth or flowing. Because the energy output and radiation is higher than that of a Super Saiyan, the aura pulses at a higher frequency.

According to Dragon Ball Wiki for Goku the first time you see Goku in his SSJ2 form is when he and Vegeta are battling:

  Although they are evenly matched at Super Saiyan 2, Goku ends the fight when he senses that Majin Buu has been released and pleads with Vegeta to help him defeat Majin Buu

Additionally, it explains earlier that

  while Goku is training in Other World he achieves Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3

So (by canon) you first see him transform against Vegeta but he must have achieved it earlier when he was in Other World.

Has any other work of ONE been animated aside One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 001?

No, only One Punch Man and Mob Psycho has been animated so far, although some of his works were published as a manga by different publishers.


I think it's just Nichijou's art style and how it expresses the fact the characters are gone past surprise at strange happenings and have come to accept it, the glazed over eyes and straight-line emotionless mouth indicate this quite well.

In cases where it's something stupid, it gives the impression that the characters can't even justify a response, because the joke or suggestion was just so stupid that it's not even worth the effort. So they give blank expressions and try to move the conversations on. This is usually accompanied by an awkward silence. This is common outside of anime as a 'tumbleweed moment'

I'm pretty sure that it isn't a reference to any other animated characters and is just Nichijou doing its own thing :)


Why did they break their cups after a toast?

It's from a Russian tradition that went back to Peter the great and now it's done after important toasts.

From the Table-glass wikipedia page:

  A legend says that the first known faceted glass was given as a present to Tsar Peter the Great from a glass-maker called Yefim Smolin, living in Vladimir Oblast. He boasted to Tsar that his glass couldn’t be broken. Tsar Peter liked the present, however, after drinking some alcoholic beverage from it, he said loudly Let the glass be! (Russian: Стакану быть! - literally the glass be), threw the glass on the ground and managed to break it. But Peter didn’t punish the glass-maker, and the production of such glasses continued. According to the legend, people present during this episode misinterpreted the Tsar’s words and thought that Peter called to break the glasses (Russian: Стаканы бить! - literally beat glasses or break glasses), that’s how a tradition of breaking drinkware on certain occasions appeared in Russia. Glasses were broken after especially important toasts or just during the especially cheerful parties. Russian restaurants even held a special prices for breaking the glasses. Breaking of drinkware, or, in wider context, any tableware, is believed in Russia to bring luck and happiness.


Take a look at this cut from Episode 4 (via the official storyboards), and also the Shinji Ikari character page notes that the two songs that play are:

  The two songs usually played on Shinji's SDAT are: Track 25 for "You are the only one" and Track 26 for "Blue Legend", respectively. The songs are from "Lilia from Ys", an image album for the "Ys" RPG series. The Vocalist is Kotono Mitsuishi, Misato's seiyu. However, Episode 02 has two Eva BGM pieces playing, while Episode 23 has a different vocal song for Track 25 instead.

Also on Youtube:

Aoi Legend, You are the only one


It's probably from History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi. As the Muay Thai boxer, Apachai Hopachai, one of Kenichi's teachers, has a special technique called the Chai Kick.


The show you are looking for is called "Cat Shit One"

It's based on a manga of the same name (and also called Apocalypse Meow in the U.S.). As far as I know, there's only been one episode and it's mostly CG animated. The terrorists are all camels.


Why do first, second, and third grade of Japanese students wear different uniform in Anime?

In my country (Indonesia), our school uniform has a badge that indicates what grade we are. It was not just my school, other schools here also have it like this. Thus, this is not/no longer (since Indonesia used to be under the occupation of the Japanese forces) a Japanese specific culture.

As to why we have it that way, a page in Wikipedia explained it well. Basically, the uniform was modeled after the sailor uniform. The difference between Freshman, Junior, and Senior uniform rooted back from the rank hierarchy in the army. Think of advancing class as advancing in rank, like from a Sergeant into a Major, and then General.

Edit: Added from the Tomato Cabal Line group discussion (credit to Krazer), the color on the uniforms and shoes denote the year the students belong in. The color is rotated each year. E.g. the color of the graduated senior becomes the color of the new incoming freshman. This is so that you can tell who is your senior and who is your junior. The color is rotated so that you don't have to change color every year.


Does Naruto and everyone else know the truth about Itachi?

As previously posted Naruto, Kakashi and Yamato were told all at the same time by Tobi before the 5 kage summit.

Furthermore, Naruto had a very strong inference to go on when he fought the zombie-like Itachi and Pain in the 4th great shinobi war.

But the only person who knows of every single full detail is Sasuke as Itachi shared everything with Sasuke when they defeated Kabuto in the 4th great shinobi war arc.


Anime where MC learns the abilities of his foes, in destroyed or war-torn city

I guarantee you, you're thinking of "Needless".

Some details:

  Very, VERY few episodes , about 20-40 episodes

Needless has 24 episodes.

  Includes superpowers (a girl shapeshifting , a guy learning everybody else's abilities , etc).

From Wikipedia: "The Black Spot eventually becomes populated by outcasts, some of whom, as a result of the contamination, gain various powers called "fragments". Those in possession of such fragments come to be known as "Needless".

  Protagonist is a guy that learns the abilities of his foes, there is one more guy with this power who is supposedly stronger but I think he loses in the end.

From Wikipedia, the main character is "Adam Blade": "Adam Blade is a destroyer priest who lives in the church in Sector 533. He has a metal collar engraved with the characters '079.AB.' affixed to his neck. He has inhuman strength and endurance as well as accelerated healing, plus a skeletal structure attached with a special metal called Orichalcum. It was revealed that he is a clone of the strongest Needless, 'The Second Christ'. His only flaw is his attraction to cute, young girls. His fragment 'Zero' allows him to learn the attacks of his enemies, after being hit by it or seeing it, also being able to combine other abilities learned as well. His special move is 'Death Verdict', the final pronouncement when taking an enemy's life."

  Its about a destroyed city or a war is going on and they are living in some kind of church

From Wikipedia: "This anime is set in the year 2130 (the beginning date remains unclear), 50 years after World War III. The war has left a crater where Tokyo once stood, a place now filled with contaminated rubble."


What is the song at season 3 episode 18 at 19:00 of My Hero Academia when the last 10 students of UA fight all the enemy?

How can there be two separate bodies with the same souls?

From what I understand, Indra and Ashura were transmigrated into Madara and Hashirama respectively during their lifetime. After both Madara and Hashirama died, their souls/chakra started looking for other hosts. We can say so because of what the Sage said,

  Now that Indra's transmigration is over...

Now that the new hosts are Sasuke and Naruto respectively, Indra need not be present in Madara (since he has come back to life). Madara had already attained the chakra of The Sage of the Six Paths before he died, and since he was brought back to life using the Edo Tensei, he retained the chakra of The Sage of the Six Paths.

Also from the other things that were said in the chapter,

It is safe to consider that the souls of Indra and Ashura were not controlling the host, rather used it as a container and helping the host. So we can say that both the souls of the host and Indra/Ashura existed in the same body. After the death of the host, the soul/chakra of Indra/Ashura moved on to find another host.

Now that Madara is back to life, he has his own soul in him and lacks the soul of Indra as that is present within Sasuke.

So basically, Madara's soul is his own.


How did Shinobu know where Araragi is when he was attacked by Tsubasa?

This answer to another question presents a case that Shinobu slipped into Koyomi's shadow about five minutes into Tsubasa Cat Part 4, when Koyomi went to look for her at the Mister Donuts where Mayoi saw her.

If we accept that, everything else falls into place. In the alternate timeline, with no Mayoi, Koyomi has no idea that Shinobu was at that Mister Donuts. He's panicked by her sudden disappearance and overburdened by the return of Black Hanekawa, so he forgets her love of donuts and never even thinks to check the donut shop. Then, as in the main timeline, Black Hanekawa finds him and offers to help look for Shinobu. Black Hanekawa attacks him when he refuses Tsubasa's love, but unlike the main timeline, Shinobu is not in his shadow, and he is killed. Shinobu later finds out and goes on a rampage, turning everyone into zombies.


The right order to read these is as you stated:

Top right,
Bottom right,
Left.

I believe Nami is the one doing all the talking, but I get why you'd be confused: the speech bubble on the left has a really short tail, and Luffy is closer to it than Nami is. However, judging by context (the bottom right and left statements seem to follow logically) plus the fact that Luffy doesn't have his mouth open, I would say it's fairly reasonable to assume that Nami is doing all the talking.


Jiraiya once said: "In the ninja world, it's not how you live. Rather, it's how you die." So I think he applied this quote in his final seconds.

First, we can assume that he hadn't had enough chakra to escape from Pein (don't forget, he was stabbed a lot of times with Pein's chakra absorbing rods), so his last efforts were to send a message to Konoha.

Second, I'm quite sure he knew that this would boost Naruto, so practically Jiraiya sacrificed himself to make Naruto (maybe) the strongest shinobi in the world.

Third, maybe he even knew that his body could be resurrected or used by Nagato as a host body, so he didn't even try to escape. Rather, he realized the seal of his body.

So Kishi had some reasons why to "kill" Jiraiya, but in my opinion, he had to go to make the later story happen.


Did Yu-Gi-Oh GX end after Yubel was defeated?

The Yu-gi-oh! GX dub by 4Kids ends after the defeat of Yubel, which is in episode 155. This is the 3rd main arc in the anime, the Dimension World Arc (Note that 156, while still belonging to this arc, was never dubbed). However, there is one more arc of the anime which was never dubbed in English, which is just called Season 4. The conclusion of season 4 (episode 180) is the end of the Yu-gi-oh! GX anime, and the story isn't directly continued in any of the other series, apart from the special "Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D: Bonds Beyond Time" which features the main characters of the main series, GX, and 5D's. So to answer your question, yes, the GX anime continues for another 25 episodes after that point.

There's also the manga, which is very different from the anime. It's more like a continuation of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! TV series and manga, and a lot of things are changed in the plot. It's also worth noting that the anime actually predates the manga in this case.

While I've linked to Wikipedia articles above, you can find the same information at the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki entry for GX, as well as a lot more information which is not on Wikipedia.


How can Kakashi use Kamui and Chidori so much during the Ninja War

He spams Kamui's and does get the side effects later.

In episode 418, right before Madara fights Gai. Kakashi mentions to Minato how bad his eyesight has become, and that he needs to get closer to use kamui (on one of the truthseeker orbs). During the fight with Pain we see this as well. When he uses his last kamui, blood flows from his eye due to overuse.

As for the 5 chidori's, that shouldn't be the problem with Kurama's chakra.


Why is the music of Studio Ghibli movies so similar?

Especially if you are focusing on the movies directed by Hayao Miyazaki, the reason the soundtracks sound similar is going to be because most of them were composed by the same person - Joe Hisaishi. Joe has a distinctive musical style, just like many composers do (for example, John Williams or Hans Zimmer are Western equivalents), and you can definitely hear it even outside of his Ghibli works. Also, because the films all have similar emotional and narrative tones, it makes sense that he would try to instill similar feelings in the soundtracks for them.


What happened to Fugo in Episode 18 8:35?

Nope, there seems to be no explanation in the manga either, given the same thing happens.  After the conclusion of Giorno vs Baby Face, both mention they are 1-2 hours from Venice. In the next chapter, they have arrived at the bridge leading directly to Venice, which then we can infer that a few hours have passed.

Note that previously, the entire team went in one car.  Bucciarati, Abbachio, Trish, and Narancia are inside Coco Jumbo, and Fugo, Mista, and Giorno are sitting in the car with the turtle. The next chapter doesn't show Fugo OR the turtle, so it's safe to assume that within that two hour frame they had gotten off at some point.


How far did Ash travel across Kanto in total?

Interesting question and strangely enough, I've been asked a variation of this question several years ago, and this is how I tried to estimate the size of the Pokemon World in the games at least. The biggest challenge would be to scale something in the Pokemon Universe to something in real life. An easy and trivial approach would be is to first, slice the picture into squares. Then, the obvious thing to do would be to look at the number of squares covered by a particular character or object that you have an accurate distance for, and then, it is simply a matter of converting those figures into the number of squares you have remaining. Now the question is to find that particular object or character. One interesting way of doing it, would be to use a Legendary Pokemon or some of the Pokemon that appear on the map like Poliwrath in Celadon City or Slowbro in Cerulean city. Since these pokemon have a fixed height, we could simply look at the number of squares they take up. Then we basically see the number of Slowbro or Polywrath we can Place on a map. An example would be something like, a Slowbro takes up 2*2 squares = 4 squares. Now suppose we can split Cerulean city into a 1000 squares, we can technically fit 250 Slowbros on the map.  Then we can simply multiply the distance with the final value you have. That said, the value would obviously be incredibly inaccurate. However, it is a decent enough strategy to accomplish the task at hand. However, your question with regard to the anime, would be impossible the answer because, in the anime, the map is obviously significantly more extended and has lots of new places which isn't present on the game maps. To top it off, the characters also get lost and take several detours to reach a particular destination and, since they do most of their traveling on foot, a huge chunk of their travels is often cut out or skipped until they reason a particular decision.


What are the names and grades of Zoro's swords?

The following are the names and grades of the 3 swords currently (as of 16-April-2020) carried by Zoro.

Wado Ichimonji

  The Wado Ichimonji is a sword of great personal importance to Roronoa Zoro, and it was once Kuina's and her family's sword. It is also one of the 21 O Wazamono grade swords.

Sandai Kitetsu

  The Sandai Kitetsu is one of the Wazamono grade swords, a "Sharp Sword". Like all of its predecessor Kitetsu swords, this one is said to be cursed.

Enma (exchanged with the Shusui)

  Enma is one of the 21 O Wazamono grade swords. It was once wielded by Kozuki Oden alongside his other sword, Ame no Habakiri, and is one of the two only weapons known to have ever injured Kaido.
  After Oden's death, Enma was inherited by his daughter, Kozuki Hiyori. Hiyori would later gift the sword to Roronoa Zoro in exchange for the latter allowing Shusui, a national treasure, to remain in Wano.

Past Swords:

Yubashiri (now destroyed and replaced by Shusui)

  Yubashiri was one of the fifty Ryo Wazamono grade sword. Roronoa Zoro obtained this sword for free from a sword shop owner.

Shusui (exchanged for Enma)

  Shusui is one of the 21 O Wazamono grade swords and was once wielded by the legendary samurai Ryuma. It is considered the national treasure of the Wano Country. After his death, the katana was buried with Ryuma, until his grave was robbed by Moriah's crew. Ryuma appeared as a zombie on Thriller Bark, who had been given Brook's shadow. After his defeat, Ryuma bequeathed the sword to Roronoa Zoro and said he was satisfied with Zoro as the sword's master.


Its never told in the manga how fast is every titan, what is the maximum speed of every titan. but there are another 2 titan that have high speed Cart Titan and Jaw Titan, yeah these two are part of Nine Titan just like Female Titan.


Who were the previous "Emperors of the Sea"

I don't think previous Yonko have ever been mentioned in One Piece. It would actually be quite odd if there were always exactly 4 strong pirate crews. Especially since they have already added Luffy to the bunch so it's technically not even Yonko anymore.

The title probably originated after Roger died and a few of the pirate crews dominated everyone else. But there isn't much to cite from the manga as Oda hasn't really revealed anything about Shanks' rise to the top.


Do nen examiners also have to teach them Nen?

I belive you're refering to the "Secret Exam" when you talk about "examiners". I'm not sure this is entirely accurate.

There doesn't seem to be a very strict structure to the Secret Exam, at least compared to the Public Exam. As such, there doesn't really seem to be "examiners" as such. The hunters just seem to collectively keep tabs on the passing participants to see if they figure things out on their own. Some actually teach these people Nen, but none seem exactly obligated to do so.

So, in short, there propably isn't the sort of requirement you mention, because there aren't really any "examiners" at this point. All teachers we see seem to be giving their lessions more or less out of their free will, rather than any sort of obligation. Of coures, almost everybody capable of teaching Nen is already a hunter (with the some exceptions like the Phantom Troupe, who know Nen but aren't necessarily hunters), so they would be qualified to pass those they teach, when they seem ready. But remember that there are people who already know Nen, who pass the Secret Exam the moment they pass the Public Exam, without any sort of fanfare.

Basicly and simplified to the extreme, I'm proposing that in stead of any sort of examiners, just about any hunter can just contact the Hunter Association and say "Yeah, they know Nen now. They're real hunters alright." Of course, the exact details of the Secret Exam are rather vague, so the answer is rather speculative.

As a side note, I think it would be theoretically possible for someone to pass the Public Exam, learn Nen from a non-hunter and then pass the Secret Exam when other hunters learn about this. But there isn't really an example of such thing ever happening.


Did Chopper mishandle the candy incident?

Checking the One Piece wiki, there seems to be some similarities between NHC10 and stimulant drugs like methanphetamines.
According to the "Clinical Guidelines for Withdrawal Management and Treatment of Drug Dependence in Closed Settings." published by the World Health Organization, the basis for treatment of withdrawal syndrome in stimulants addiction is symptom-based.
The usual symptons are: agitation, irritability, depression, increased apetite and muscle aches, in the more severe cases they can develop psychosis. These seem compatible with the symptoms presented by the children.
In cases of severe agitation, much like the children presented, it may be necessary to sedate the patients when other behavioural management strategies prove unsuccessful.
The rest of the treatment relies on hydration and multivitamin supplements along with psychological therapy.
So, at least going by our current standards IRL, Chopper seems to have acted in good faith through proper medical treatment.

Did the incident mentioned in "Kiba's Long Day" really occur in the anime?

No, this is not related to any previous episode and is basically a filler episode. The intruder who died by "taking a pellet" is no-one that has been shown before.

It doesn't match completely because it isn't supposed to. It isn't following any story line provided by the manga. That is why its called a "filler".


Would it make sense for there to be a new category of episodes between filler and canon?

Often times, when it comes to the filler, the original creator or mangaka has no say in it.  They may have the ability to influence designs, but that's probably it; much of that would get written by someone other than themselves.

This is largely borrowing from an earlier answer of mine, but I want to highlight a few key points from it:

  Studios in charge of the more popular anime series don't really have
  this liberty; generally, one of these things could happen:

  The author treats it as non-canon and progresses forward (ignore it)
  The author incorporates it into canon (think Hayate no Gotoku and the addition of Kayura Tsurugino after the movie) (embrace it)
  The author decides to reboot the series entirely, which may include some components of the original one and may not, with the liberties
  largely removed (Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood vs Full Metal
  Alchemist) (allow both to exist)

Effectively, there's really not much wiggle room between what is and isn't canon.  It either gets adapted into canon, or it gets ignored.  No one outside of the original mangaka can decide this, and there have been examples of both happening in different works.  Series like Bleach likely didn't get to exercise options of adopting it into canon due to the fact that Kubo Tite was working so hard on it, he had to go to the hospital several times during Bleach's run.


Why do some anime characters use Sanskrit spells instead of Japanese?

per Wikipedia on Sanskrit

  Sanskrit (/ˈsænskrɪt/; Sanskrit: saṃskṛtam [səmskr̩t̪əm] or saṃskṛta, originally saṃskṛtā vāk, "refined speech") is the primary sacred language of Hinduism, a philosophical language in Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism, and a literary language that was in use as a lingua franca in Greater India.

While Japan's native region is way back when was Shintoism during the Nara period Buddhism was making it's way into Japan and was structurally established within Japan by Emperor Shōmu sometime during his reign between 724–749 being a devout Buddhist himself.

  During this time, Buddhism becomes structurally established within Japan by Emperor Shōmu (reign 724–749), and several large building projects are undertaken. The Emperor lays out plans for the Buddha Dainichi (Great Sun Buddha), at Tōdai-ji assisted by the Priest Gyogi (or Gyoki) Bosatsu. The priest Gyogi went to Ise Daijingu Shrine for blessings to build the Buddha Dainichi. They identified the statue of Viarocana with Amatarasu (the sun goddess) as the manifestation of the supreme expression of universality.

Soruce: Shinto - History - Nara Period

  Shōmu, a devout Buddhist, is best remembered for commissioning, in 743, the sixteen-meter high statue of the Vairocana Buddha (the Daibutsu) in Tōdai-ji of Nara.

Source: Emperor Shōmu - Legacy

obviously one can find Buddist references in some anime such as Dragonball and Brave 10, particualy from the answer in that link

  Buddhist texts in Japanese are strange things. As the informed reader is aware, Buddhism originated in India, and as such, many of the foundational texts of Buddhism were originally written in Sanskrit. When Buddhism moved into China, those Sanskrit texts were translated into whatever the contemporary form of Classical Chinese was. Eventually, those texts made their way from China into Japan.

the exact reason as to why they would use that? if i was to make an assumption it would be because it's an old yet mystical language from a age long gone and normally (from what i have seen) old languages are generally used for magic such as with the Merlin series the Spells used in it were literal commands (like Open, Copy, Burn) translated to Old English or Lancer in Fate/Stay Night using Northern European Runes

  Lancer obtained 18 Original Runes, Norse Runes, after studying magecraft under Scáthach in the Land of Shadows

Source: Lancer (Fate/Stay Night) - Abilities - Runes

^ you can see 3 of the 4 Runes Lancer uses in Ath nGabla. the 4 runes being Algiz, Nauthiz, Ansuz, and Ingwaz


What is this Zabieru Tanegashima character a reference to?

As was suggested by senshin in the comments, this is a moefied version of the missionary Francis Xavier, the first Jesuit missionary to arrive in Japan (in 1549), as well as the island Tanegashima. It is a source of some debate among historians as to whether Xavier ever actually went to Tanegashima (see for instance this article) but in any case Tanegashima is the first known point of contact between the Japanese and the Europeans, by a Portuguese ship blown off-course en route to China in 1543, and is thus associated with the introduction of European culture to Japan and indirectly (but strongly) to Xavier.

Moe versions of historical figures and other classic works are nothing new. The most famous examples are probably people from the Sengoku Period (a time period that Xavier's arrival conveniently falls in), though the Three Kingdoms era is also pretty common. Some examples of this are Sengoku Collection, Sengoku Otome: Momoiro Paradox, Oda Nobuna no Yabou, and Hyakka Ryouran. This moefication of historical figures has also been parodied in some other works, like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Princess Jellyfish. This appears to be another parody in a similar vein.

For obvious reasons, Xavier is associated with Christianity in Japan. This explains the large cross wielded by the character and the head ornament, both of which are significant Christian symbols and which are the most prominent features of the character design.

After reading the chapter myself, I don't think there's anything more to the reference than that.


How does Teshigawara create the recording

The loss of memory applies to the existence of the extra person. Teshigawara and Mochizuki forgot about Reiko's existence, but they didn't forget the fact that they were working alongside Sakakibara and Mei to repel the curse looking for the extra.

Since everyone realised that the curse stopped (because people stopped dying), they should have concluded that the Extra died, whoever that was.

It's just reasonable that, after Sakakibara and Mei killed Reiko, they explained the situation to Teshigawara and Mochizuki, who of course believed them despite the lack of memory. At this point, it wouldn't be surprising that Teshigawara would be capable of making a recording with the warning.


Is a "character song" just like a theme song for a character?

No!

A "character song" is emphatically not the same thing as a "theme song". While there is probably no clear definition of what constitutes a "theme song", the term "character song" has a straightforward definition. That is: a "character song" is a song whose vocals are credited to the character or characters singing the song.

Typically, this means that the song is sung "in-character" - by reading the lyrics of the song, we ought to be able to glean something about the character.

  Can you give me some examples of character songs?

Sure thing, person asking this question!

"Inside Identity", the ending for the first season of Chu2Koi, is a character song. Why? Because it is credited to "Black Raison d'Etre", which is a fictional group consisting of four characters from the show (Rikka, Nibutani, Dekomori, and Kumin).

But not all character songs are used as openings/endings. Some are used in-show, as insert songs. For example, "Fuwa Fuwa Time", performed by the characters in K-ON!, is a character song that is used as an insert song in some of the episodes.

Still others will never appear in their corresponding anime at all, instead being released as bonus goodies for sale. See, for instance, "you", credited to Kasumigaoka Utaha from Saekano, which never appeared in the anime.

Character songs need not be original to the anime they are used in. For example, "Tsubasa wo Kudasai" is a character song in K-ON!, since it is credited to the characters. Yet, "Tsubasa wo Kudasai" is not original to K-ON! - rather, it is a popular folk song in Japan. Nonetheless, since it is credited to the characters in K-ON!, it is a character song in that context.

  Okay, so what isn't a character song?

I'm glad you asked!

Consider "Synchrogazer", which is the opening for the first season of Symphogear. It is sung by Mizuki Nana, who voices the character Kazanari Tsubasa in the show. But it is not a character song, since the song is credited to Mizuki Nana (the real human), rather than to Kazanari Tsubasa (the fictional character).

Another common misconception is that vocal theme songs may, in general, be called character songs. For example, a common belief is that "Before my body is dry" (a.k.a. "DON'T LOSE YOUR WAY") from Kill La Kill is a character song for Matoi Ryuuko. Certainly, it plays whenever Ryuuko does something awesome - but is it really a character song? No! The vocals are credited not to Ryuuko, but rather to Kobayashi Mika (who doesn't voice Ryuuko, anyway).

  Well, gosh, that's a lot of information. Is there anything else I should know?

Why, yes, there is.

One potential point of confusion is the notion of an "image song". In some cases, "image song" and "character song" are used interchangeably, as in this K-ON!! album.

However, in other cases, "image song" has a distinct meaning. Like a character song, an "image song" (in this sense) is a song that is meant to evoke a "sense" of a particular character. Unlike a character song, however, an image song is not sung by the character, and hence is not "in-character". Instead, the image song is merely evocative of the character. Image songs in this sense may either be sung by a different vocalist (as with this Steins;Gate album, on which "Yakusoku no Paradigm" is an image song for Makise Kurisu), or be altogether non-vocal (as with this Accel World album, on which "re-Incarnate" is an image song for Arita Haruyuki).

The Tokyo Ravens album "Reincarnation" is another example that's full of image songs in the latter sense, with vocals credited to Kurosaki Maon (who does not play any of the characters in the show).

I find that image songs (in the latter sense) are relatively rare as tie-ins to anime. They do appear rather frequently as tie-ins to visual novels, though. I'm not sure why.


What was the purpose behind Daphne collecting data on the wizards?

I believe that she was collecting data on wizards so she can find a dragon slayer worthy of her invention (the fake non-working dragon, i'd like to call it) to make it work and show the people back in her village that dragons are real and that she was not lying when she told them that she saw one.

And for the lizard men, I believe that she used them to distract the Fairy Tail wizards and focus on putting Natsu in her invention using Gray, so it can work. And I believe that she did not want to destroy Magnolia and do some evil stuff. She just wanted to prove that dragons are real.


Why do rich people laugh like they do in anime?

The hand raising part comes from old Japanese traditions where refined women were not supposed to show their mouth when they laugh. The fact that a character uses it can indicate that they place a high importance on manners and such which is one of the traits of stereotypical posh characters.

Women covering their mouths as they laugh at the lady falling over after pulling bamboo from ground (Scene of the Twelve Months - Fifth Month (Toyoshiro and Teyokuni) ) 1801

The Ohoho! is intentionally high pitched and annoying - this is to make it sound both artificial and bitchy (which is usually the character's personality)

Kodachi from Ranma 1/2 was the first instance of this trope occurring in anime, however this trait was already in use in film by this stage.

Hinata's & her children's family name by the end of Naruto

I'm gonna have to say that Hinata's surname will remain as it is. Because, if we take the case of two other couples, who were from different clans and had offsprings, we can see that wives' surname remains as it is. Examples are:

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki
Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yūhi

In both cases, even after their marriage, their surnames were kept the same. So this leads me to believe that Hinata will retain her surname as Hyuuga.
Taking the same examples for the case of the offsprings,

Naruto
Mirai Sarutobi

Mirai's case, she retains her father's surname. While Naruto's official surname is Uzumaki. But the Uzumaki surname was given to him because it was a means to protect him and his identity (from enemies). I think there was a chapter which discussed that incident. Therefore, his original surname was Namikaze.
From these examples, I think its safe to say that the child recieves the surname of the male parent. Which means the names will be Boruto Uzumaki and Himawari Uzumaki.

Update: (credits to @AyaseEri)
As for physical evidence, the 8th official guidebook, Zai no Sho (released Aug 7th 2015) confirms that Boruto and Himawari have their surname as Uzumaki:

Boruto Uzumaki (page 26)
Himawari Uzumaki (page 31)

But it seems my logic with the wife's surname being preserved is faulty. As in Zai no Sho, Hinata's surname is not Hyuga, but Uzumaki (page 31). Therefore, her official name after marriage has become Hinata Uzumaki.


Are Erina Nakiri and Sōma Yukihira relatives?

It's because Joichiro is like an influence to Erina and he is really dear to her and also he agreed to taste her cooking when she becomes a good chef. And also no, Yukihira Soma and Erina Nakiri are not relatives.


Why do Black Organization members use alcoholic drink names as code names?

There is a reason behind this.
Gosho Aoyama stated that there is a reason behind all the names of the, as we call it, Black Organization. He also said, that if we would knew the real name of the Organization, we would know the boss.

Now, we just have to wait until Mr. Aoyama reveals the real name. And it better be something better than "Bar", "Club" or "Organization of Alcoholic Drinks".


What order do I watch the Tenchi anime in?

Theres are allot of story pieces involved. But one of the easyest ways to decide in which order to watch would be by checking out this website. It has the storys and their time settings layed down in detail (this might be a good addition to the How are tenchi timelines related)

For a casual viewing order you should watch it in this order

Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki (1992-1993)
Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki Omatsuri Zen `y.... (1993)
Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki (1994)
Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki (2003)

Then you can follow this up by the side story about his parents

Tenchi Muyou! Bangaihen: Galaxy Police (1994)
Mahou Shoujo Pretty Sammy (1995- 1997)

And from here on out you can either go check out alternative settings

Shin Tenchi Muyou! (1997)
Tenchi Muyou! Manatsu no Eve (1997)
Tenchi Muyou! (1995)

Or even the alternative version of  the side story

Mahou Shoujo Pretty sammy (1996)

And the alternative version settings variant of this

Sasami: Mahou Shoujo Club (2006)
Sasami: Mahou Shoujo Club 2 (2006-2007)

And finally you can check out the Same setting story

Tenchi Muyou! GXP (2002)
Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari ( 2009-2010)
Dual! Parallel Runrun Monogatari

With this info it is pretty much up to yourself how to actually watch it. But for story purposes I would advice at least watching the first 4 I stated in that order.

If the dragon balls in DBGT were those made by Dende, how could a shadow dragon be born in them after Oolong wished for an underwear in DB?

In episode 192 of DBZ; as Piccolo points out that since the new dragon was made out of the model of the old one so their powers must be linked. Well that explains it.


Who created the Uchiha's Clan's stone tablet in the Naka Shrine?

Kishi never explicitly stated in the manga that Rikudou Sennin created the tablet, however we can make an educated guess that he did.

Let's take a look at the facts.

To read the entire Uchiha tablet, the Rinnegan is required.
Madara is stated to be the second Sage of the Six Paths. (This should mean no one else had the Rinnegan inbetween Rikudou Sennin and Madara.)
The tablet had an extensive list of things, like the Moon Eye plan, how to obtain Mangekyou Sharingan, how to obtain the Rinnegan, and the history of the God Tree with Kaguya.

Kaguya could not have written the tablet because most of the tablet's info pertain to Rikudou Sennin's era, where he had the Rinnegan and was the Juubi Jinchuriki. And since Kaguya isn't considered to be a Sage of Six paths, we can assume she doesn't have the Rinnegan either. We can also assume that a Rinnegan user must have written the tablet.

With that said, Rikudou and Madara are the only two candidates left, but Madara uses the tablet to learn about the history of Shinobi, so Rikudou is the only one who could have written the tablet.

EDIT: Additionally, Tobi stated the Sage of Six paths created the tablet here (bottom panels).


Here is a video from the MarineFord War which shows that he lost his arm to Aokiji.
While fighting Aokiji, his attention goes towards Marco and Aokiji takes advantage of this and uses his devil fruit power to make him freeze.


Is Beelzebub's main focus on comedy or storyline?

It's plot is given quite early, but is often overlooked. The plot it that Oga is supposed to raise Beelzebub into the new Demon King. Simple as that. This includes everything from Oga and Beelzebub growing stronger, to gaining minions and so forth. The anime and manga are quite easy going, but slowly and with no rush, it's moving further against the goal.

You may ask yourself what Oga feels about having his "son" to become a powerful and merciless Demon King, however thoughs regarding this hasn't been mentioned more then a couple of times with no further talk about it.

Personally, I prefer to read the manga due to the anime being cancelled. I've yet to get tired of the manga due to all the awesome and funny things occuring in it. I gave up on the anime once I knew it wouldn't continue.

To answer your question;
Beelzebub is a comedy with a (slim) story.


What is this OST in the 1st season of My Hero Academia?

The name of this OST is Mind of Evil. This OST is by Yuki HAYASHI and can be found in the track 27 (YouTube link) of My Hero Academia Original Soundtrack.


Will a Devil Fruit user swim if he/she is in contact with Kairoseki?

They can't. The Sea Stone drains the Devil Fruit user's body of energy rendering them unable to move (as if they were paralyzed), and negates their Devil Fruit powers (but not the cursed side effects). This is the same effect as if they were exposed to the ocean. Since they can't move or breathe underwater without special assistance, they will ultimately drown.


Were there ever plans for a "Bastard!" TV series in Japan?

Only those involved will know if it was ever intended to have a tv release, but I imagine it probably was initially aiming for such.

After testing the waters with the OVAs, they presumably didn't move forward with any plans to that extent as the OVAs did very badly and didn't even finish production.


In One Piece, why doesn't Robin tell Luffy what had happened during her training?

Since the strawhat Pirates reunited, they have been on a rollercoaster ride of events. In the One Piece universe, not much more than a few days or maybe a week has passed and they just did not have time to "catch up". They always have had bigger things to worry about. The thing is, suppose they would have had the time, it actually makes a lot of sense for Robin to keep quiet about her whereabouts and it quite fits her character as well. The following list are reasons why Robin should clearly not have told Luffy about Sabo.

Robin did not know about the relationship Sabo, Ace and Luffy shared. She only knew Ace and Luffy were brothers.
Even if Sabo did tell Robin, she did not know Luffy considered Sabo to be death.
Even if Robin did know about all of this (which seems very unlikely), Sabo was to be considered death for the rest of the world too. So if anything, he probably wanted to keep it that way for the time being.
Sabo might even have asked Robin to keep it a secret, to not spoil the surprise. He probably wanted to tell Luffy himself, similar to how Shanks did not want to meet Luffy during the Marineford War.
Robin has been hiding her activities since she was just a child, so it was just natural for her, not to talk about it anyway.
Even if Robin wanted to share her whereabouts, she was probably told not to do so by Dragon himself, because being associated with the Revolutionary Army has major consequences. The World Government might want to interrogate her about the Revolutionary Army as lots is still unknown about them as of chapter 787. They want to keep a low profile as long as possible.

Edit as per Masked Man's comment:

  Robin doesn't really "socialize" much, she is serious most of the time and doesn't get into "personal discussions" too much, so it would be totally out of character for her to talk for hours about what she did during the timeskip.


There is no information as to a meaning to C.C. or V.V other than to hide their real names.

There is some information about the planning stages of Code Geass having C2 name as Cera or Sera but I never saw any official information to back that up other than random websites.

In regards C2:

Well if you want the reference from the anime alone, I don't think it was ever revealed, there was a scene where she does say her name involuntarily in her sleep at episode 11 around 18 minutes of the first season, but the name it self is never revealed to us and is covered with droplet of water sound instead.

She whispers her name

She confirms it was her name

Further in he also calls her name right after saying "I learned something interesting because of that" in reference of staying/saving her which was not necessary. And again her name is censored.

Further in she also asks him to call her name again which he does however again its muted/censored.

So to this point the name is only known to Lelouch!

In regards V2:

On episode 21 of the second season around 5 minutes and 20 seconds Lelouch's mother tell a set of events of the past along with Charles however V2 name is again never revealed.


Are the OVA of "Baka and Test" more closely related to the manga/light novels than the anime's first season?

Yes

Additional info: Japanese Wikipedia also mentions that the story development between the original source and anime's 1st season is different, and even included a lot of anime original story. The 2nd season continues the 1st season's setting while also adapting the original source more faithfully.

Akura-ou is an oni, a Japanese youkai that is known for having horns growing on their head, being physically big and strong, and having a wicked personality.

Oni have been used as villains ever since Japanese folklores like Momotaro, which introduces Red Oni and Blue Oni as the main antagonists.

Other characters that are based on oni (warning: TV Tropes):

Dragon Ball - King Enma

How much time has passed between the final fight and Sasuke Shinden (anime)?

Found this image on Light Novels page of Naruto Wikia. Light Novels - Naruto
The page also lists the the timeline of the novels, but for some reason it doesn't list Sasuke Shinden. But there seems to be an official timeline, probably from Jump/Databook (Citation Needed)

I don't read Japanese, so maybe someone could corroborate, but looking at the covers, Sasuke Shinden seems to be in the same period as that of Gaara Hiden. Following this Sasuke Shinden take place somewhere between 2-10 years after Naruto and Sasuke fought in the Valley of the end

Edit: Correction. It seems the event take place just before Chapter 700 of the Manga, but after Naruto becomes Hokage so closer to 10 years rather than 3 that I assumed. However this is true only for the Light Novel and not the Anime. Found the translated timeline on Reddit: A guide to the Naruto Light Novels, Naruto Gaiden, and The Blank Period. It seems like the most complete timeline of Light Novels I could find.

In the Anime, Naruto is yet to be Hokage and there are several other discrepancies. No official timeline as of yet, but events seem to be just AFTER the events of The Last.

Edit: Confirmed for Anime too. The Events of Sasuke Shinden Episode 484-488 take place some time after the events of the movie: The Last.

Images for reference Below, Order (LtR- Official Timeline, Sasuke Shinden, Gaara Hiden):


Basically what happens is that as you said, Issei gives his arm to the dragon in return he get balance breaker. the arm that he traded is now belowing to the dragon, no longer a demon, that is why he was able to hold the cross or the holy water without being hurt in the fight between him and the phoenix.afterwards, the dragon power starts to take over his arms which stops him from having his normal arm and akeno had to suck out the dragon energy for issei could do whatever and not expose that he is a demon.

long story short, he has control over his arm but if akeno wasn't there, his arm would literally be the arm of the dragon
Hope this helps

What is the release schedule of the Digimon Adventure tri. movies?

Crunchyroll has released some information pertaining to the Digimon Adventure tri. movies.

Information from Crunchyroll post:

  Plans are being lined up for the second part of Digimon Adventure Tri: "Ketsui" (Determination), which opens for a limited theatrical run on March 12, 2016. Mimi Tachikawa's Hitomi Yoshida and Joe Kido's Junya Ikeda will be presenting a preview at Shinjuku Wald 9 on February 11th. Along with the news is a preview, that revealed the big detail that finale, "Kokuhaku" (Confession) is scheduled for summer 2016.

According to this post, the finale will be released in summer of 2016. However, this seems unlikely due to the fact that the second part of this six-part series is just being released on March 12th. I will update this answer if they change the date of the finale.


What is the idea for exchanging Alice stones for engagement based on?

I believe this is exchange is a mix of different marriage traditions, the oathing stone and the traditions of engagement rings.

The part about the stones is probably based on an old Scottish tradition with Celtic roots.

The Oathing Stone is an old Scottish tradition where the bride and groom place their hands upon a stone while saying their wedding vows. This ritual tradition is thought to be the best way to express your solemn promise in physical form. The idea is derived from the ancient Celtic custom of setting an oath in stone.

The Scottish believe that an oath given near stone or water, being strong natural elements, make the vows much more binding. Traditionally during the reading of the bride and groom's wedding vows, they hold an oathing stone in their hands, believing that holding the stone during the reading of the vows casts them into the stone.

It's similar to the more modern version of the unity candle or sand ceremony.

The exchange is very similar to the exchange of rings that is prevalent is modern culture.

In Nordic traditions, the bride-to-be and groom-to-be exchange and were engagement rings. The Victorians exchanged "regards" with their rings.

Together this exchange probably symbolizes a literal exchange of vows.

What card game is being played by The Phantom Troupe?

It's rather hard to say, as we see only a few clips of the game. However, it seems that the game is some variation of Cheat, where players play cards face down and tell others what card they played. The catch is that they are allowed to lie. The goal is to get rid of all your hand cards.

There are few details to pinpoint a specific variant, but it seems that the cards are played in order (see 7:10 in the episode, where they say numbers 8 to 10 in order).

Also, if your bluff is called and you're found lying or if you call a 'bluff' but the play was true, it seems you're required to add all the cards in the stack to your hand. (See 8:10 from the episode, where Shizuku plays a card, claims it's '13'. Shalnark doubts it but Shizuku reveals it to be a king. Shalnark then picks up all the cards.)

There are no signs of additional rules on how cards are dealt, how they are supposed to be played, if you can play more than one card at a time or if any cards do something special.

Could be that the game is as simple as dealing the whole deck to all players, each playing one card at a time (with Cheat rules), from 1 to 13 (and probably 1 again). This would make a simple game, but the bluffing would be intense.

The manga only shows a single panel of them playing, so that's even less information.


Historically, Probably NO.

Original Super Saiyan was originally thought to be a legend, until Goku first transformed during his fight with Frieza. In a filler scene in episode 66 of DBZ, the first appearance of the Original Super Saiyan was shown, it looks like a Great Ape with yellowish colored fur. Apparently Super Saiyan was not in Great Ape form, unless it's a Golden Great Ape, it was made up by Vegeta's imagination.

Talking about Bardock, he was suspected as the first Super Saiyan, there is no official information to prove he is the first ever Saiyan to transform into a Super Saiyan. At the end of Episode of Bardock, it is revealed that Chilled's knowledge about Super Saiyans was passed to his descendants. It is not confirmed yet that Akira Toriyama wants Bardock to be the first Super Saiyan.

But until now, Bardock was the first Super Saiyan in the series with a known name and appearance.


How did no one notice that Rukia's special order was defective?

What I don't get is how no one knew it was defective.

Kisuke Uruhara knew that the container contained Kon.

According to Kon's History entry in Bleach Wikia:

  Kon was one of the last Mod-Souls ever created for Project Spearhead, an operation which made Artificial Souls designed to enhance Human physiology to be placed in dead bodies in order to help the Shinigami fight Hollows. Shortly after his creation the project was deemed inhumane by Soul Society and was shut down, and all of the existing Mod-souls were to be terminated.
  [Manga: Chapter 16 page 15 ]

  Kon, however, made a lucky escape and wound up in the storage room of the Urahara Shop, inside a Soul Candy dispenser. Kisuke Urahara placed the tainted dispenser in a box designated as "poor merchandise" and had intended to dispose of it, but never did. [Manga: Chapter 14 page 3 ]

He knew that the contents of the soul candy dispenser is actually a mod-soul. However, He did not dispose it, maybe because of his nature, being a scientist or so, he might have thought of experimenting on it just like what he did to Ichigo to bring back his powers.

  If the box wasn't marked as defective before it arrived, then Kisuke must have done it and was fully aware it was defective in the first place.

It was, actually...

  When Rukia asks if her order of some Soul Candy has arrived, Kisuke tells Ururu to bring the order from storage. Searching for a box marked "new stuff", she finds a box and brings its contents to Rukia. Urahara later discovers that the box is actually labeled "poor merchandise", and contained Kon. [Manga: Chapter 13 page 10-11, 19 ]

  Jinta asks her to read the writing on the box. When Ururu struggles to pronounce it, Jinta corrects her and tells Ururu that she sold a poor quality item to a customer and starts pulling her hair. Kisuke tells him to stop, saying that it is his fault for not disposing of it.source

Like Ryan said in the comment, it was on a different box. However, because Ururu struggles on reading labels, she accidentally gave the wrong item to Rukia.

Kisuke already knew what was inside: a mod- soul. He admitted it, saying it is his fault for not disposing it.

  How did no one notice that Rukia's special order was defective before she came to pick it up?

They noticed that the item given to Rukia is defective after she came to pick it up. The Order was in fact okay. However, the one who handed the item had a misunderstanding. Because she struggles on reading labels, Ururu mistook the box with a label of "poor merchandise" as the box with a label of "new stuff", which Uruhara ordered her to bring, so it was the one labelled [defective] given to Rukia instead.

  Jinta asks her to read the writing on the box. When Ururu struggles to pronounce it, Jinta corrects her and tells Ururu that she sold a poor quality item to a customer and starts pulling her hair. Kisuke tells him to stop, saying that it is his fault for not disposing of it. Tessai says that regardless of who is at fault, it could be trouble.

  Ururu apologizes to Kisuke, saying that it was her fault and asks him if he is mad. Urahara reaches out to her, causing her to recoil. He places his hand on her head, and tells her that it is no big deal and asks why she is crying. He says that they are a team and not to worry about it, as he will take care of it. Kisuke comforts her as she continues to cry.

  Tessai informs Urahara that they are ready, and the four set out to recover the merchandise, with Ururu carrying her cannon.source


Is Broly Super Saiyan 4 a regular Super Saiyan 4 transformation or does it have something "Legendary" and different from the others Super Saiyan 4?

From Dragon Ball Wiki - Legendary Super Sayan 4

Broly's Super Saiyan 4 form is largely similar to Goku's Super Saiyan
4 form, although the main difference is his having a significantly
built frame and blank eyes (similar to his Legendary Super Saiyan
state). It also has a yellow aura when in use, and is one of the few
Legendary variants to not have Broly possess emerald hair.

The Legendary Super Saiyan 4 form, like Legendary Super Saiyan 3 and
Legendary Great Ape, is only seen in video games. Broly is shown
attaining this form thanks to assistance from Black Smoke Shenron, who
uses his shadows to transform Broly into a Super Saiyan 4 in the JM7
trailer for Dragon Ball Heroes, and then proceeded to fight and nearly
kill Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Vegeta, and Super Saiyan 3 Beat but was
struggling against Super Saiyan 2 Note before Super Pikkon arrived.

Broly Super Saiyan 4 is different from other Super Saiyan 4 transformations as it was attained through the negative energy from the Cracked Dragon Balls and Black Smoke Shenron.

The red aura is present at Super Sayan 4 Full Power which is more
powerful than the Super Saiyan 4 form, seemingly a combination of the
former and Legendary Super Saiyan. Broly attained this form around the
Assault on the Hell Gate Saga and used it to defeat the Time Breaker
leaders.


How old was Natsu when he was sent forward in time?

I don't think there was much of a difference between the world where Natsu went to sleep, and where he woke up.

For the most part, he spent his time with Igneel in the woods - as I assume a dragon wouldn't be welcome in towns.

I think Natsu grew up in the wilderness, went to sleep in the wilderness, and awoke in the wilderness 400 years later, not noticing a change because the wilderness couldn't have been different.


Does a person lose his power after passing on One For All?

Yes.

   Im not sure how much of the Anime/Manga you have watched or read but its very clear that All Might is losing/has lost his power after giving it to Izuku Midoriya.

 In the climatic battle against All for One in Season 3 its shown that the embers of One for All that All Might had left died out and he used the last of his power to defeat him.


What does it mean when Pride mentions about Edward turning into a philosopher's stone to infiltrate him?

You have to remember that philosopher's stones are merely the souls of people.

I haven't watched the episode in a while, but I'm fairly certain Edward explains it as using part of his own soul/life force to generate a philosopher's stone.

Edit: found this on the wiki

  Breaking free of his bonds, Edward takes hold of Pride's head and, turning himself once more into a single-souled Philosopher's Stone, forces his way into the Homunculus' psyche.


The manga has ended and the anime has ended as well. There's nothing left presumably to animate or write about, so that's the finish of that.

Actually, searches for a movie bring up nothing. So, are you sure that wasn't a false memory?


Why is "Puella Magi" equivalent to "Mahou Shoujo"?

The romanized title is not meant to be an English translation at all. It is not half Latin + half English; it is all Latin from start to finish: Puella Magi Madoka Magica. So we shouldn't read the "Madoka Magica" as if it were English and then wonder at why "Puella Magi" is not English. "Madoka" is the main character's name (鹿目 まどか), so that word is a native Japanese word. "Magica" is clearly not Japanese or English; it is also Latin. So 3 out of the 4 words are Latin, and the Japanese word is a person's name, so it would naturally be written "Madoka" in romanized letters when in an all-Latin phrase.

According to the Puella Magi wiki, "Puella Magi" in Latin translates to "girl [form] of the sorcerer" in English. As this was the translation decided by the Japanese company, it is possible that they did not consult anyone fluent in Latin in order to translate "mahou shoujo" as accurately as possible (we often see Engrish in anime [such as 「それでも世界は美しい」(Soredemo Sekai ha Utsukushii), which was officially written in English as "Still world is Beautiful" instead of a literal fluent translation like "Even So, The World is Beautiful"]; there is no reason that they would necessarily do better with Latin).

The wiki author makes an alternate hypothesis, saying "If interpreted a different way, 'the sorcerer's girl', it implies that the girls are being used - which they are, by Kyubey," but since we do know the meaning of "mahou shoujo" due to its use in the many, many magical girls series that Madoka is parodying, we can conclude that it does not in this case have a unique meaning of girls being used. The series is not a mahou shoujo series proper (it is a parody of the genre and is targeted at male viewers, whereas real mahou shoujo are a subset within shoujo, meaning they are targeted at an audience of young girls and if there is a manga origin or adaption, it runs in a shoujo manga magazine), so for it to use the standard style and meaning of a mahou shoujo series best serves its intent at parody.


What is ki?It's a form of life force energy used by characters in the Dragon Ball Universe. We consider the aura to be a form of ki and yes it is! Rather than ki, you should look at it as energy. They might both sound very similar but look at it this way. The ki blast fired by a character is different from the ki used while flying. So the aura has to do more about powering up and using energy. A good way to look at the same is if Android 17 were to have unlimited ki in terms of strength, he would technically be stronger than even the Grand Priest because of his unlimited strength, however, the androids only have unlimited stamina(life-energy source).Think of Android 17's power up to him using all his strength.  We know all living beings in Dragon Ball have ki. We also know that the amount of ki can be increased or by training and altered by  transformations or special skills like the Kaio-Ken. We also know that this Ki is not unlimited irrespective of who the being is. There have been many instances where a character (Didn't have enough energy to fight) or didn't have sufficient amount of energy to power up etc which is why they consume Senzu beans. Androids, on the other hand, have a special or unnatural energy source such that their ki capacity is unlimited. Unlike the other species(All species shown on Dragon Ball as of now). Due to the same, androids also have difficulty in sensing ki the way other species do and need special modifications to help locate a particular fighter. There is not definite available answer but this is what I believe. I think the amount of ki associated with stamina and energy has nothing to do with one's strength. In other words, when Goku uses his Super Saiyan transformations and alters his ki, I don't think he gains more life support or more stamina(as a matter of fact, he loses more stamina), yet his ki is altered. The same applies with regard to the androids. The only difference is, the androids have an unlimited source of life-energy(Stamina associated ki). We know Android 17 and even 18 obviously have gotten a lot stronger since the android saga. If they had a fixed capacity of strength ki, they wouldn't have been able to get stronger. Also, Koicherator, Aniraza, and the Androids shouldn't be confused with.Koicherator is a robot. They are 100% mechanically designed. They can power up or gain energy only by physical manipulation i.e(By designing them that way or by using a special power-up like the one Dr.Paparoni used).Aniraza is a fusion between Paproni and the Robot. It is not technically a modification like in case of the androids. I would compare it to the Potara fusion and fusion dance. We know Kefla's ki increased both strength wise and even stamina wise after the Potara fusion. Aniraza could be compared to that.Finally, Android 17 is a cyborg. He was a human-modified with mechanical parts. He has a special modification in him which gives him unlimited stamina. Since he's part human, he does have an unnatural source of Ki and also has the ability to get stronger with training, unlike Koicherator and Aniraza.


What song plays when Kaguya asks Lelouch "what are you really after?" at the UFN meeting at Ashford in 22nd episode of season 2, at timemark 16:10?

I found it finally, it's called Birthplace and I found it after a long time of unsuccessful consumption of code geass music. I decided to, perhaps ironically, attempt to look it up by looking at the names at the Code Geass Wiki, in hopes what a theme of the title will match the required song. It's not on youtube, so I could not possibly have known of it's existense before, and I did relatively less research on other sites, the wiki helped here.
The moment I was looking for actually begins at 0:22 second timemark if you listen to the OST, unexpectedly. It's actually the same song that plays before and after the marked scene, when UFN member discuss whether they were right in trapping Lelouch in the walls, and when Lelouch asks Kaguya what is the most important trait for governing the world. It's one of these "composite" Code Geass OSTs


Vegito is canon because he exists in the Manga (main canon of Dragon Ball). Gogeta doesn't exist in the Manga and only exists in the Anime and Movies which are considered alternate versions of Dragon Ball from the Manga therefore not canon.


What are the characteristics of a "tsundere"?

From  KnowYourMeme

  The word tsundere is a portmanteau of the japanese terms tsun-tsun (turning away in disgust) and dere-dere (lovey-dovey feelings).

Typically tsundere characters are characters who aren't honest with themselves about loving another character. They'll often say things like;

"It's not as if it I did that for you, dummy - don't get the wrong idea!"

"It could have been anyone else, it's just because you were there"

Etc.

Generally, its obvious they have feelings for someone - they're just too shy to admit it, so they cover it up with insults, physical attacks or making it seem that something isn't a big deal (even though they really think it is - like an indirect kiss for example)

When closer friends point it out, they'll often blush and stutter:

"W..what?! There's no way I could love J-Jony, where d-did you get that crazy idea from!?"

Who set Yuuko's sphere of allowable interference?

This is pure speculations since I can't find any reliable source, but I think this has something to do with a magician's limitation of powers. Like for example, Yuuko can only grant one's wish if that person is willing to lose something important to him/her. This quote is somehow relevant to this:

  "To gain, something of equal value must be lost." - First Law of Equivalent Exchange in Alchemy (Fullmetal Alchemist)

If her powers has no boundary, then she should have grant any wishes without paying any price. And also, Clow Reed is a good example. He's the strongest wizard known in the Tsubasa Chronicle (Cardcaptor Sakura and XXXholic) universe and yet he can't revive someone who had already died (who was Yuuko) and was one of the reason for the conflict of Tsubasa Chronicle and XXXholic plot. Yet another example of a person's power limitation.

As to who set it, I really don't know. But this is probably a rule set by the Clamp writers.

What are the types of jutsus that exist in Naruto?

DISCLAIMER: I've never seen or read anything Naruto.

This questions seems rather simple to me, so perhaps you're looking for a specific angle? There is a good ammount of info on Jutsu on Narutopedia. Here I will try to quote that article in brief summaries.

What is Jutsu?

  Jutsu ... are the mystical arts a ninja will utilise in battle. To use a technique, the ninja will need to use their chakra. To perform a technique, the ninja will bring out and release the two energies of chakra. By forming hand seals, the ninja is able to manifest the desired technique. Because of the extensive number of hand seals and different combinations, there are thousands of potential techniques to be discovered.
  -- Jutsu, Narutopedia

What are the different types of Jutsu?

There are three principal types of jutsu:

  Ninjutsu ...a term referring to almost any technique which allows the user to do something that they otherwise would be incapable of doing, including the usage of weapons.
  More info: Ninjutsu, Narutopedia
  Genjutsu are techniques that are employed in the same fashion as ninjutsu... However, the primary difference between the two is that the effects of genjutsu are illusory; instead of attacking the victim's body, like taijutsu or ninjutsu, genjutsu techniques manipulate the flow of chakra in the victim's brain, thus causing a disruption in their senses.
  More info: Genjutsu, Narutopedia
  Taijutsu a basic form of techniques ... refers to any techniques involving the martial arts or the optimisation of natural human abilities. Taijutsu is executed by directly accessing the user's physical and mental energies, relying on the stamina and strength gained through training. It typically does not require chakra, though chakra may be used to enhance its techniques. Taijutsu generally requires no hand seals to perform, occasionally making use of certain stances or poses, and are much quicker to use than ninjutsu or genjutsu. Taijutsu is simply put: hand-to-hand combat.
  More info: Taijutsu, Narutopedia

  -- Jutsu, Narutopedia

There are several sub-types including:

  Barrier Ninjutsu  ...the incorporation of barriers into techniques.
  Bukijutsu  ...techniques that entail the use of any handheld weapons in combat, whether the users be shinobi or samurai.
  Chakra Absorption Techniques ...techniques that allow the user to absorb another individual's chakra.
  Chakra Flow ...the flowing of chakra through an object as well as any technique that increases the potency of a weapon by flowing chakra through it..
  Clone Techniques ...techniques that create a copy of the user or objects used by them.
  Collaboration Techniques ...techniques which entails powerful techniques that are actually comprised of at least two or more pre-existing techniques.
  Fūinjutsu ...a type of jutsu that seal objects, living beings, chakra, along with a wide variety of other things within another object.
  Hiden ...techniques are passed down orally from generation to generation in certain regions or clans.
  Juinjutsu ...techniques used to bring someone under the control of the user.
  Kenjutsu ...techniques that entail the use of swords, whether the users be shinobi or samurai.
  Kinjutsu ...techniques that have been banned from being taught or used.
  Medical Ninjutsu ...a branch of ninjutsu associated with healing...
  Nintaijutsu ...a combination of ninjutsu and taijutsu, the Raikage uses nintaijutsu by first surrounding himself with his Lightning Release Armour.
  Reincarnation Ninjutsu  ...techniques that usually require or accomplish the transfer of life force between people.
  Senjutsu ...a specialised field of techniques that allows the user to sense and then gather the natural energy ... around a person.
  Shurikenjutsu ...techniques that entail the throwing of shuriken, kunai, senbon or any other of a number of bladed, hand-held weapons.
  Space–Time Ninjutsu ...techniques that allow the users to manipulate the space–time continuum.
  Tailed Beast Skill a unique ability or trait used by tailed beasts.

I hoped this helped! :)


When did Erina learn that Yukihira's father was Joichiro?

From last page of chapter 150, "Board Game", Erina overheard Souma revealed that Jouichiro is his father.

After that, on chapter 151, "The Outbreak of War", Erina saw a picture of Souma and his father.


Is there such a thing as Eternal Sharingan?

The Mangekyou Sharingan is an eye that makes you gradually go blind when after a long periods of use. The Sharingan does not have this side effect. Therefore, the "Eternal" part of the Sharingan, which denotes an eye that will not get progressively blinder overtime, does not apply to a normal Sharingan.

In fact, the only real benefit to transplanting a normal Sharingan (given that you already have one) is so that you can use the Izanagi. This technique makes the eye lose its light in one go.

   It can be seen during Obito's fight with Konan, that he transplanted an eye which he then used for the purpose of reviving himself with the Izanagi


Why did Funami Yui accuse Toshinou Kyouko of playing dirty?

The following anwer is made by assuming that they are playing on a Bomberman version similar to one of those which actually exist.

A proof that this may be similar to a known version of Bomberman is the bonus Ayano is trying to pick up, which looks really similar to Fire and  Full Fire  bonuses

Basic Bomberman knowledge

In the classic games Bomberman, there are a lot of power-ups.

One in particular, Kick, gives to the one who collected it the ability to kick away Bombs. This is the only ability that grants the power to move a bomb after it has been planted.

This may be used in 2 ways :

To eject the bomb that would threaten your life;
To push an enemy bomb or your bomb into the enemy's face.

What's more, it is important to know that bomb explose after a determined delay after it has been planted.

But what happend exactly?

Ayano did plant a bomb in order to destroy a wall and therefore is unable to move (if she does, she may be killed by her own bomb)

After the wall exploded, Ayano's first reflex was to leave this dead-end to pick-up a bonus.

Toshino may have anticipated that Ayano would have this behavior.

Toshino planted a bomb near to herself, managing to time it so it would explode just a little bit after Ayano's bomb. Then she pushed the bomb with the bonus we talked about earlier (we can be sure of this as long as the ability to move bombs is unique to this bonus) and killed Ayano.

Why is Yui reacting this way?

Bomberman is usually meant to be played around strategy, which means placing your bombs in order to force the enemy players' movements, and therefore block them.
As an example, placing a bomb on a line will force a player to go to the other end of this line. By playing on this kind of forcing, you can "place" enemies on a dead-end or a really close place where they are more vulnerable to bombs.

The natural reaction of an awared Bomberman player is to spend the less possible time in dead-ends. They are deadly because you cannot go through bombs unless you have the Bomb Pass bonus.

Here, Toshino is just waiting for enemies to destroy walls in order to kill them instead of placing bombs herself.

Therefore, this kind of trick can be seen as unfair or dirty because it is playing on a survival reflex and is not really the part of a global strategy.


Is "La Tabki Ya Saghiri" an original Digimon Arabic song?

This is 3 Primary Colors by Tamers, an insert song of Digimon Tamers and the 10th track of Digimon Tamers: Single Best Parade album.


Why was Misaki in the basement of the hospital?

Mei was "visiting" her twin sister Misaki Fujioka

  She dies in Episode 1 from the 9th grade class 3-3 curse, being "the death of April", the first one who died because of the curse. Mei was delivering a present at the Yomiyama Hospital's morgue, a doll, Mei referred to her as "her other half" during her first meeting with Kouichi and later as her twin sister.

Source: Misaki Fujioka - Plot - Another

In the anime/ova Fujioka died from leukemia (flared up in the OVA) but is still counted as being one of the deaths caused by the calamaty. in the novel she had a kindey transplant and Mei was going to gift her the dool but died before she could

  In the original novel, the doll that Mei brings to the morgue was a gift to Misaki after her kidney transplant. The kidney Misaki received was not Mei's (due to minors not being allowed to donate). Misaki told Mei which doll she wanted but died before Mei could bring it to the hospital.

Fujioka is also mentioned near to the end of the series when Takako thinks Mei is the "Extra" because she remembers going to school with a Misaki but confuses Fujioka with Mei and remembers that Fujioka (thinking she's Mei) didn't have different coloured eyes (one of Mei's eyes is a prostetic doll's eye)


I think Rin's teeth are depicted as sharp to give off Rin's attitude towards his former teamates Haruka, Makoto and Nagisa. If you remember during the series Rin had went to Australia to become stronger and faster in swimming. But a couple years later even though he put so much effort in whilst in Australia he still couldn't beat Haruka.

This is probably the most accurate time to say when Rin became more aggressive and serious. I think his sharp teeth are suppose to tell the viewer that he is serious and gives off his more aggressive personality and persona.

This is just my impression though. I dont actually think they made his teeth sharp for an actual purpose rather than to display his change from when he was a kid to when he lost and decided he had, had enough of losing to Haruka.
