As SingerOfTheFall pointed in his answer Captain Byakuya stated that:

  Even the four noble families, whose members are always exceptionally
  talented, have only a member capable of bankai every few generations.

At wikipedia states that:

  Only 4 non Captains in the Gotei 13 to have achieved Bankai

First Division

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto (山本元柳斎 重國 Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni)

  Ryūjin Jakka's bankai "Zanka no Tachi" (残火の太刀?, lit. "Long Sword of
  the Remnant Flame") upon release causes all of the flames produced by
  Yamamoto to disappear into the blade. The bankai is comprised of four
  abilities based on the cardinal points:

  "Zanka no Tachi - Higashi (East): Kyokujitsujin" (残火の太刀･東　旭日刃) in which all the flames are concentrated on the edge of the blade,
  incinerating everything it touches
  "Zanka no Tachi - Nishi (West): Zanjitsu Gokui" (残火の太刀･西　残日獄衣) where Yamamoto envelops his whole body in flames, reaching up to
  15,000,000 degrees
  "Zanka no Tachi - Minami (South): Kakajuuman' Okushi Daisoujin" (残火の太刀･南　火火十万億死大葬陣) - this techique resurrects the burned and
  incinerated dead which were struck down by the blade using its burning
  state, it is roughly translated to "great army of the 10 trillion
  buried by flames".
  "Zanka no Tachi - Kita (North): Tenchi Kaijin" (残火の太刀・北 天地灰燼) - a powerful slash attack, incinerating everything in one fell swoop.
  Translated as "heaven and earth are burned to ashes".

Chōjirō Sasakibe (雀部 長次郎 Sasakibe Chōjirō)

  His bankai is "Kōkō Gonryō Rikyū" (黄煌厳霊離宮, lit. "Yellow-Glittering
  Royal Villa of the Stern Spirit") can produce a bolt of lightning from
  the blade which extends and transforms into a dome of lightning,
  stationed far above the users head and fastened to the ground by a
  large number of lightning pillars. These pillars can be controlled at
  will to shock the opponent.

Shunsui Sōzōsuke Jirō Kyōraku (京楽 次郎 総蔵佐 春水 Kyōraku no Jirō Sōzōsuke Shunsui)

  Unlike other Soul Reapers, Shunsui possesses paired zanpakutō called
  Katen Kyōkotsu (花天狂骨?, lit. "Bones of Heavenly Blooming Madness").
  While the blades are normally two daisho swords, their Shikai state
  resemble dao or falchions. When released with the command "Flower Wind
  Rage and Flower God Roar, Heavenly Wind Rage and Heavenly Demon Sneer"
  (花風紊れて花神啼き 天風紊れて天魔嗤う Hana Kaze Midarete Kashin Naki, Tenpū Midarete
  Tenma Warau), Katen Kyōkotsu gains the ability to "turn children's
  games into reality." One such game, Bushō Goma (不精独楽?, Lazy Spinning
  Top), involves spinning around wind like a top. Another, Takaoni (嶄鬼,
  Mountain Demon), declares that whoever is the highest is the winner. A
  third technique, Kageoni (影鬼, Shadow Demon), forces the players to
  alter their own shadows; whoever steps on a shadow, even their own, is
  declared the loser. The fourth game is known as Iro-Oni (艶鬼, Colored
  Demon) where players call out color and then slice the enemy where
  that color is displayed. However, if the color is not on the body of
  the person who called it out then the damage given is minimal; the
  more that the declared color is prevalent on the declarer's body, the
  more damage the attack will commit. A fifth game is called Daruma-san
  ga Koronda (だぁるまさん が こぁろんだ, The Dharma Doll Fell Down), a game
  similar to "Red Light Green Light". The sixth and final game is called
  Kageokuri (影送り, Silhouette Sending) which is a game where if a person
  is staring hard enough at another person's shadow, then their opponent
  creates after images of themselves. Katen Kyōkotsu's bankai is called
  Katen Kyōkotsu: Karamatsu Shinjū (花天狂骨枯松心中, "Heavenly Bloom Madness
  Bone: Withered Pine Lovers' Suicide"), which he uses only when his
  allies are at a safe distance from himself. When released,
  Shunsui's bankai covers a large area around Shunsui in an aura. This
  aura changes others' perception of the surrounding environment, making
  them perceive it as darkened, bleak and gloomy, and causes others to
  feel varying levels of melancholy and despair. While it maintains
  its shikai form, its bankai allows Shunsui to manifest various
  stories, which can kill opponent easily. It also manifests the spirit
  of Shunsui's zanpakutō, a Feudal-Japan-style mistress referred to as
  "Sakuranosuke" who created a silent kunoichi bodyguard from her being
  to hold Shinken Hakkyōken until Nanao eventually asks for it.

Second Division

Soi Fon (砕蜂（ソイフォン） Soi Fon, pinyin: Suì Fēng), born Fon Shaolin (蜂 梢綾（フォン シャオリン） Fon Shaorin, pinyin: Fēng Shaolíng)

  Soi Fon's Zanpakutō is Suzumebachi (雀蜂?, literally translated as
  "Hornet").

  Suzumebachi's Bankai, Jakuhō Raikōben (雀蜂雷公鞭, lit. "Hornet Whip of the
  Thunder Immortal") composes of a greatly enlarged version of the
  shikai form that encases the entirety of Soi Fon's arm, which she
  mentions as being bulky and incapable of concealing, and thus unsuited
  for use in missions requiring stealth. In this form, Suzumebachi
  becomes a long-range weapon and looks like a large rocket launcher;
  its main offensive capability allowing Soi Fon to launch a high-speed
  projectile that resembles a large missile. The thunderous recoil
  produced by the weapon requires Soi Fon to be anchored to a nearby
  stationary object via an enhanced cloth-like material (which doubles
  as armor) called Ginjōtan (銀条反, lit. "Stripe of Inverted Silver").

Third Division

Gin Ichimaru (市丸 ギン Ichimaru Gin)

  Gin's Bankai is "Kamishini no Yari" (神殺鎗 which means "God Kill Spear.")

  By adopting a stance where he firmly grips Kamishini no Yari with both
  hands and places the Zanpakutō's hilt squarely on the center of his
  chest, Gin is able to utilize the tremendous extension and contraction
  properties of his Bankai to an even more terrifying extent than its
  normal state. This occurs in the form of a piercing maneuver where the
  extension and contraction of the blade becomes almost completely
  unseen to even the most diligent of observers.

Shūsuke Amagai (天貝 繍助 Amagai Shūsuke)

  Amagai's Zanpakutō is Raika (雷火, roughly "Flash of Lightning").

  Raika's Bankai, Raika Gōen Kaku (雷火豪炎殻, literally "Lightning Flash
  Flame Shell"), enlarges the blade and creates a giant conch-shaped
  guard worn across Amagai's arm, with the handle of the blade hidden
  inside it. This form gives him greater control of his fire attacks,
  his most powerful technique creating giant dragons of fire to encircle
  and crush his foe.

Fourth Division

Yachiru "Retsu" Unohana (卯ノ花 烈 Unohana Retsu)

  Unohana's Zanpakutō is Minazuki (肉雫唼, roughly "purify the flesh").

  Her bankai is Minazuki (皆尽?, "All Things' End"). When activated it
  releases a thick, oily substance from the blade. Its powers have yet
  to be revealed. Minazuki appears as freed Zanpakutō spirit in the
  Zanpakutō Unknown Tales anime arc with Minazuki's form being a mute
  figure of unknown gender in a hooded robe, pretending it was
  imprisoning Yamamoto. Unohana has a scar on her collarbone inflicted
  by Zaraki Kenpachi when they fought prior joining the Gotei 13. She is
  also a skilled swordsman and have mastered all kind of swordsmanship
  techniques. In a new release of the manga, she is still shown fighting
  Zaraki Kenpachi. She then calls forth her Bankai, saying "Minazuki"
  and it appears that her blade is releasing blood as she slashes
  Captain Zaraki. It also appears that in an illusion, their flesh is
  peeling away from their bodies, and they are still fighting but as
  skeletons. It is still difficult and to early to truly understand what
  her Bankai actually does.

Sixth Division

Byakuya Kuchiki (朽木 白哉 Kuchiki Byakuya)

  His Bankai is Senbonzakura Kageyoshi (千本桜景厳, "Vibrant Display Of One
  Thousand Cherry Blossoms")

  When released, his blade disappears, and a thousand blades, resembling
  sakura petals, come upon his opponent and slash them multiple times.

Renji Abarai

  Hihiō Zabimaru turns his sword into a skeletal giant-snake like sword that
  has a head. It can dissemble and reform at Renji's will and can shoot
  focused reiatsu at the head.

  Sōō Zabimaru is compacted into form predomately worn by Renji
  with the snake skull smaller and affixed over Renji's right hand as a
  combination blade gauntlet and shield while a skeletal simian arm
  hovers just slightly above Renji's right arm. Sōō Zabimaru's signature
  technique Zaga Teppō is a close range attack where Renji uses his
  spiritual pressure to conjure a large snake skull that incinerates
  whatever it bites down on.

Source about Renji's bankai

Seventh Division

Sajin Komamura (狛村 左陣 Komamura Sajin)

  Komamura's Zanpakutō is Tengen (天譴, literally "divine punishment",
  translated in the English manga as "sword of heavenly retribution").

  Tengen's bankai, Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō (黒縄天譴明王, roughly "vidyarāja of
  black-roped divine punishment", translated in the English manga as
  "divine retribution, black ropes of ruination") brings forth the
  entire giant, which also copies Komamura's movements.

Eighth Division

Shunsui Kyōraku (京楽 春水 Kyōraku Shunsui)

  His bankai is unknown, but when asked by the Espada Coyote Starrk to
  show it to him, Ukitake warns him not to reveal it where so many
  people could witness it. Katen Kyōkotsu (花天狂骨) appears as a free Zanpakutō
  spirit in the Zanpakutō Unknown Tales anime arc as two separate female
  beings: a Feudal-Japan mistress and her silent ninja bodyguard,
  wielding Shunsui's swords.

Ninth Division

Kensei Muguruma (六車 拳西 Muguruma Kensei)

  Kensei's bankai is named Tekken Tachikaze (鐡拳・断地風, lit. Iron Fist
  Earth-Severing Wind). The combat knife transforms into two bladed

Kaname Tōsen (東仙 要 Tōsen Kaname)

  The Zanpakutō Tōsen uses originally belonged to his now-deceased
  friend and is called Suzumushi (清虫, literally "pure insects", but read
  as "cricket"; translated in the English manga as "bell bug").

  Suzumushi's bankai, named Suzumushi Tsuishiki: Enma Kōrogi (清虫終式紅閻魔蟋蟀,
  literally "Suzumushi, final style: Enma cricket") creates a large,
  black dome centered at Tōsen's location and anchored to the ground
  with ten rings. Anyone within the dome loses four of their five
  senses, retaining only the sensation of touch. The weakness of this
  technique is that whoever is touching Suzumushi's hilt is immune to
  the dome's effects, so anyone able to grab Suzumushi recovers their
  senses for as long as they remain in contact with the hilt.

Eleventh Division

Ikkaku Madarame (斑目 一角 Madarame Ikkaku)

  Ikkaku's Zanpakutō is Hōzukimaru (鬼灯丸, referring to the Japanese name
  for the winter cherry, meaning "demon light").

  Hōzukimaru's bankai, named Ryūmon Hōzukimaru (龍紋鬼灯丸, literally
  "dragon-crest demon light"), takes the form of three oversized weapons
  connected by a thick chain: two blades in each of his hands and a
  fan-shaped blade, adorned with a carving of a Chinese dragon, which
  floats behind him. Aside from the increase in power, his Bankai offers
  no special abilities, and is noted to be unusual for a bankai in this
  aspect.

Twelfth Division

Mayuri Kurotsuchi (涅 マユリ Kurotsuchi Mayuri)

  Mayuri Kurotsuchi's Zanpakutō is Ashisogi Jizō (疋殺地蔵, roughly
  "leg-cutting Buddha").

  Ashisogi Jizō's bankai, named Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō (金色疋殺地蔵,
  literally "golden leg-cutting Buddha", translated in the English manga
  as "divine leg-cutting Buddha"), takes the form of a giant caterpillar
  with a baby's head and a silver halo. The creature breathes a
  poisonous derivative of Mayuri's blood which is lethal to anyone who
  breathes it, aside from himself and Nemu.[45] It can also run through
  and skewer opponents with the multiple blades that erupt from its
  chest. Mayuri has physically modified his bankai so that it will
  self-destruct and return to its sealed state if it attacks him. It is
  also shown that Mayuri changes the poison he uses every time he shows
  his bankai.

Thirteenth Division

Rukia Kuchiki (朽木 ルキア Kuchiki Rukia)

  Hakka no Togame increases the area of influence of Rukia's
  ability to reach the temperature of absolute zero. Upon release, a
  pillar of cold mist rises up into the air from where Rukia is and
  covers a wide area in her vicinity. Anything within the area of
  influence of the mist is frozen. Once frozen solid, victims crumble
  away within seconds. Physical contact with Rukia herself causes other
  people to begin freezing solid because of how cold she is. While it is
  a powerful Bankai, it is also a difficult one, as the slightest
  mistake could kill Rukia. Because Rukia is physically affected along
  with everything else in her vicinity, the amount of time she can use
  her Bankai appears severely limited, as prolonged use can potentially
  cause her damage, so she is required to melt slowly when leaving this
  state, otherwise she would risk damaging herself.

Some images
As SingerOfTheFall pointed out in his answer about the one that appeared only in the anime.

  Shūsuke Amagai (天貝 繍助, Amagai Shūsuke)

  Raika Gōen Kaku (雷火 豪炎殻, Lightning Flash Flame Shell): Amagai holds
  out his Zanpakutō in front of him as fire swells around him. Raika
  becomes a large and more detailed version of its former self. Raika
  Gōen Kaku takes the form of an enlarged sword, and turns the edge of
  the blade a crimson red color, with a hook at the end. The inner side
  of the hook-blade sports several jagged edges. A large white shell
  with a light-purple trim covers the hilt. A massive hollow
  pauldron/shield with the handle is hidden behind it. The sword is
  about as tall as Amagai in this form.


What is the music at season 3 episode 10 at 16:40 when bakugou flies towards kirishima?

That song is called Trinity and it is from My Hero Academia 2 Original Soundtrack Disk 2

You can hear it here.


In Mobile suit Gundam ZZ, how was Judau able to control the separated parts of his Gundam?

As far as I researched it was a combination of plew's spirit and Psycho Frame of Qubeley, but still no clear data can be found on this, but as a reference we can see in the final episode of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, Kamille fights with spirits of his friends to destroy Paptimus Scirocco's mobile suit.


What territory would the Aozaki Clan have?

According to a Q&A with Nasu Kinoko in Fate/complete material III, the Aozaki territory that the family are administrators of, while currently unnamed, resides in Japan.

It's mentions that these lands are the only place where True Magic can be activated and considered the greatest spiritual land in Japan.

Mahoutsukai no Yoru reveals that this land is indeed Misaki Town. It's mentioned in Fate/complete material III that the distance between Fuyuki City and Misaki Town is equivalent to the distance of Kanto and Kyushu.


Can Pokemon aside from Meowth learn how to talk?

Pokemon can be taught the human language as stated on Bulbapedia

All Pokemon in the Pokemon anime, with no exceptions, can understand human speech. Moreover, judging, for instance, from Larvitar in Hatch Me If You Can, they are able to do this immediately after hatching, without having to learn.
The anime generally does not focus on language problems, so as a result, there is some confusion about Pokémon language and the Ability of Pokémon to understand humans. Although it is obvious that all Pokémon can understand each other, Meowth in the episode Go West Young Meowth once mentions Meowth language, and Jessie in Who's Flying Now? mentions Chimecho language, so it is not clear whether there is a common Pokémon language, or every species has its own.
As far as human language is concerned, Meowth in the same episode was shown learning pronunciation, not the language itself, what implies that all Pokémon have innate knowledge of human language, so they can understand human speech, and only have to learn how to pronounce its sounds, or be able to establish telepathic contacts to speak. Despite this, Misty in Whichever Way the Wind Blows once asked Meowth to translate her words to other Pokémon, and May taught her Bulbasaur the meaning of the word town in Grass Hysteria. Therefore, this ability of Pokémon is not well-defined in anime canon.

Beside mewtwo and meowth there are several other pokemon that can also speak. They are also listed on the link provided


Why is dubbed anime commercially considered a "premium"?

Creating anime costs a lot of money.  I admit that the numbers in that answer are more than likely ballparks, but you get the gist - per episode numbers are in the neighborhood of 11M yen (or ~$97,200).

Add on top of that the work that has to go into localization for release:

Certain scenes may have to be omitted, cut, shortened, censored or removed due to the difference in what is acceptable to broadcast in that country.  (I'm thinking of DiC for their creative dub of Sailor Moon, and 4Kids for just about everything they touched.  There were also scenes from various other series that had to be removed; you can read more about that over here.)
Certain jokes just don't translate well, no matter what you do.

The cost to do this adds on top of the original production costs, since there is the very strong likelihood that it's not just voice actors and actresses coming in and doing the work.

Above all, the series actually has to be doing sufficiently well in order to earn a dub, or there has to be sufficient demand to deem it profitable to do one.  One of the best examples that comes to mind is Toradora!, which had its original version broadcast and released back in 2009, and had its dub come out about five years later.  It's safe to say that yes, there was enough demand for this series to come out with a dub.

Suffice to say, the cost to produce the non-dubbed, often subtitled series is sufficiently less than hiring more staff to do essentially the same thing.  This is why dubbed anime is definitely at a premium - because the work being done is a premium service for non-native Japanese speakers.


Does the people remember the comet incident?

I don't think there's ever been official confirmation that those characters appearing is anything more than a cameo, so it isn't even clear whether the meteor incident occurred in Weathering With You. (As I recall, there was never a clear view of the region of Japan where it happened to show whether or not there's a crater.)

That said, if they did occur in the same universe then people would have remembered it - it was a fairly major event that destroyed an entire town - but it could well be something that has already faded from most people's minds because it wasn't a cause of many deaths.

   Since, if Mizuha is living in Tokyo, then this must take place in the timeline where they managed to bring everyone to the school before the impact.


Did Bartholomew Kuma intend to send the crew to different places or was it by chance?

Kuma definitively knew what he did. Otherwise Zoro wouldn't have landed on Mihawk's island.
Also, I found this:

Sentomaru reveals that Kuma has the ability to make people fly through the sky to far away places. A Monster Chopper runs wild, trying to attack Sentomaru. Rayleigh is still seen dueling Kizaru, using swords while Nami reflects on Kuma's ability, where it was first shown at Thriller Bark.
Kuma Attacking Pacifista
Kuma intercepting a Pacifista.
She remembers that Perona mysteriously vanished. Luffy asks Sentomaru where Zoro could have gone, and Sentomaru says that anyone that gets touched by Kuma's paws would sail through three days and three nights and the destination would only be known by Kuma. An outraged Sanji gets ready to battle Kuma, while PX-1 tries to attack Usopp from behind, using a beam attack. Kuma then uses his Devil Fruit ability to send PX-1 away, which enraged Sentomaru.

Answered here.

It is unknown by design. C2's name is obscured when she tells it to Lelouch in the cave (first sesason, episode 5 to 8 -ish).

Nowhere it is written, and given the producers inclination to secrecy, it won't be revealed.

It is speculated that the name begins with the letter C, but that is all.


Here's my updated answer, with facts from the manga itself, since the manga has long been over and the answers here might still confuse someone, especially since the anime skipped some of the facts I'm about to present.

To start with, the difference between sex and gender is that the former is biological (male or female) and the latter 'can refer to either social roles based on the sex of the person (gender role) or personal identification of one's own gender based on an internal awareness (gender identity).'

Is Tooru Mutsuki male or female?
Tooru Mutsuki is, biologically, a female. In the early part of the story she prefers to be identified as a male but later on, she seems to accept herself and her feelings as a girl.

In Vol. 1 Chapter 4,

  Torso rips open her shirt inside his cab, revealing what her sex is immediately:

In Vol. 1 Chapter 5,

  a flashback is shown where people from the CCG Academy Junior school is talking to her and she tells them that she does not want to be a girl and that from that moment on, she wants to be a guy.

In Vol. 7 Chapter 73,

  it was revealed that she was constantly abused by her father, and it was hinted that his father may have sexually abused her since he focuses his gaze on Tooru's wet clothes:

In Vol. 10 Chapter 100,

  Toruu reveals to Saiko that she is a girl but Saiko remarked to herself that she already knows:

Finally, in Vol. 15 Chapter 155,

  Tooru was seen naked as Sasaki walks in, implying that Haise knows that she's a girl but chose not to say anything about it to the squad:

While she initially prefers to be identified as a guy, in the later part of the story, however:

  after the Rushima Landing Operation and towards the end of the manga, she is more open towards her feelings and I think she accepts that she is a female. In Vol. 12 Chapter 126, she reveals to Urie that she loves Haise. And from the events that happen throughout the rest of the manga, it can seen that she is somewhat like a yandere, going so far as to want to kill Haise and Touka. One time, she was seen stripping down, getting on top of and embracing a corpse of someone representing as 'Haise' after killing it.


Why does Yukine have three different names?

The character 雪 ("yuki" in kun'yomi), has an alternate reading (on'yomi), "setsu."

Sekki (雪器) is a combination of this alternate reading with the character 器 (ki).

His actual true given name is "Yuki." (Yato's true name is Yaboku, 夜卜, using the kanji 卜 instead of the kana)

His weapon name is "Sekki." (the "tsu" runs into the next consonant, making "Sekki," instead of "Setsuki") The gods all seem to give their weapons names using the alternate readings and the "-ki" suffix (e.g., Sekki, Hanki, Chouki)

The common (nick)name he goes by everyday (e.g. Charlie, instead of Charles), is "Yukine," with "-ne" (音) being the suffix Yato gives to all his Regalias (e.g., Yukine, Tomone). Tenjin-sama uses "-yu" (喩) (e.g., Tsuyu, Mayu, Nayu). Kofuku uses the prefix "dai-" (大) (e.g., daikoku).

In folklore, one's true name should not be given out easily, as it reveals the person's true nature. Therefore many people take a common name similar to their true name. The weapon name is somewhat akin to a stage name, and is typically used when conducting business-related activities.


The things he told Sasuke during their battle suggests that he thought that Tobi was Madara.
Either because eliminating the entire clan on his own was too tough a mission for him, or because he wanted to infiltrate the Akatsuki to gather information. Also, he had Tobi promise to not hurt the Hidden Leaf or Sasuke.
Because that would blow his cover. He was still protecting Sasuke and the Leaf and revealing his position would make him lose all the things he could have gotten due to #2.
Because, as Madara, Tobi too had a grudge against the Uchiha. Also, he could use someone like Itachi in Akatsuki.


Some amount of time has passed after "CODE-E". The main change in the background story is that they've discovered that there are other people like Chinami, or other TYPE-E's in the world. This discovery (prompted by events from "CODE-E") lead to discrimination and persecution of TYPE-E's. This lead to Chinami, her friends, and some of the people she had confrontations with from CODE-E forming an organization called "OZ" which tries to help other people with the same abilities as Chinami, or other TYPE-E's. And that's where the story starts in MISSION-E.

There is an ongoing manga called "CODE-EX" and a light novel series also called "CODE-E" (which, I believe, was an adaptation of the anime series), but I'm not sure how much they fill in the missing time between the "CODE-E" and "MISSION-E" anime.


If Naruto can creates one thousand clones, and sometimes he uses them to do his work, why does he always have a lot of work?

And my future dream is to be the greatest Hokage! Then the whole village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody. Somebody important!
Naruto Uzumaki, Naruto chapter 4

Ever since the start of the original series, Naruto's goal was to become the greatest Hokage of the Leaf Village. From episode 1 of Naruto to episode 500 of Naruto Shippuden, Naruto spent his entire life gaining the trust and respect of his village, and eventually the entire nation.
Naruto did not want to be seen as a lazy Hokage. While he does on occasion use shadow clones to accomplish various tasks, an overuse of this could eventually turn south and the village elders potentially seeing Naruto as an incompetent leader and unable to handle tasks on his own.
Another reason for this is to look at the original design of shadow clones. Shadow clones can be deployed for intelligence and recon, and all gathered information is returned to the caster when the shadow clone is released. This was explained by Kakashi at one point.
However, based on various events in the series, it is apparent that if too much is going on between the caster and their shadow clones, the casters chakra can become imbalanced. Examples of this are during Naruto's wind nature training and his battle with Pain while having shadow clones in reserve. During the wind training, Kurama's chakra would sometimes leak and take over one of the clones and Naruto was limited on shadow clones during his fight with Pain.
My point above is that if Naruto tried to do too many administrative tasks at once, such as interviews, signing documents, battle strategies, planning Chunin exams, preparing teams for missions, etc... it could be information overload if all that knowledge hit the caster at once.

Why did Tokyo Ghoul √A completely deviate from the manga?

It's inaccurate to say it completely deviated from the manga. I read the manga first until the end as Tokyo Ghoul aired. Spoilers ahead.

   The season 2 would seem to deviate from the manga because of the "main difference" people constantly point out: Kaneki joined Aogiri in the anime while he created his own group in the manga.

There are two points to note here.

First: Kaneki, both in the manga and anime, looked for the same thing: the strength to protect his comrades.

   In the manga, we later found out he did this through character development and explicitly stating this. In the anime, it was only explicitly stated why he joined Aogiri. It would always be better when in accompaniment with other developments to support this rather than plainly stating it. The anime riddled itself with Kaneki's identity; the manga thoroughly went through his identity mixed with progression of the story.

Second: This makes most sense when taking into account the impressive and risky compression of over 100 chapters into around 20 episodes.

   You will notice differences in the manga and anime, but they always ended up with the same conclusion. The anime makes impressive compression, most especially in the first season, then it started crumbling and destroyed itself by the end of the second season. The anime made thorough emphasis on different things, like Rize's appearance and later crucial catalyst to Kaneki's power & identity. The manga, most of the time, would contribute at a normal pace to the story development and the CCG's side.

In spite of all that, Tokyo Ghoul always wound up with the same conclusion and same point. Fights are compressed to one scene; multiple events occurring at different times are made into one event.

In conclusion, it never mattered at all if Kaneki would join Aogiri (anime-only) or form his own group (manga). This may be my only speculation, but this was a nice move by the director, writer, producer, or anyone who handled it because this meant the manga followers/fans would be baited to watch the second season if there were any developments that would lead to a different ending when it was as close as the manga, except:

   showing Hide flat-out dead in the anime.

I, myself, was caught with the hype after reading the manga with the sudden turn of events at the end of the first season, even though I expected they would use the same formula (minor changes and compression of events to make the same conclusion as in the manga).


What are the marks on Index-tan's left eye?

According to some attendees at an
Index II x Oreimo talk session in December 2010, someone from the Index
staff said there that it was intended to look like Kenji Ohtsuki's face
paint.

It is simply the result of a play on words without any significance:

In Japan, とある魔術の禁書目録 (Toaru Majutsu no Index) is

Why is Genos directly promoted to S rank and surpasses Amai Mask?

Genos was already S-rank upon entering the Hero Association. Amai Mask couldn't stop his promotion as he was never promoted from A-rank to S-rank in the first place.

I couldn't understand the logic behind promoting Genos who is just a newcomer in hero association and manages to get into the highest rank in just few episodes. In Episode 5, The Hero Association interviewed Genos about the House of Evolution's destruction and upon confirming that Genos played a part in it, they made an exception and gave him the rank of S-class based on prior experience.

And I don't see why Amai Mask has to keep his plan while knowing that there's a rule to promote a hero to S rank in instant. Again, it's not promotion. Promotion is a change of rank from a lower rank to higher rank. Genos is initially S-rank so no promotion took place. He was not initially assessed as A-rank. Amai Mask maintains his plan to prevent those heroes initially assessed as A-rank below from climbing into S-rank. This might not be stated in the manga but I see this as his way to prevent diminishing the standards on what it takes to be an S-class hero, although he does acknowledge a few heroes not in S-class.

It's by his choice that Amai Mask maintains his rank as A-class Rank 1. The difference in ranking does not immediately mean that Amai Mask is weaker than Genos. Example being King, who's S-rank but is weak and Saitama who's B-rank but is probably stronger than most, if not all, S-class heroes.


In the One Punch Man Wiki, the page about Genos says:

  Genos  is a 19 year old cyborg and the disciple of Saitama.
  He has an entirely mechanical body in the model of a handsome young man. His face and ears look like that of a normal human, made of an artificial skin material, and his eyes have black sclera with yellow irises.

  http://onepunchman.wikia.com/wiki/Genos

Now, if we look at some definitions for the word cyborg:

  1. "a person whose physiological functioning is aided by or dependent upon a mechanical or electronic device."

  http://www.dictionary.com/browse/cyborg

  2. "a person whose body contains mechanical or electrical devices and whose abilities are greater than the abilities of normal humans"

  http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cyborg

  3. "an organism, often a human, that has certain physiological processes enhanced or controlled by mechanical or electronic devices, especially when they are integrated with the nervous system."

  4. "a living being whose powers are enhanced by computer implants or mechanical body parts"

  5. "a human being whose body has been taken over in whole or in part by electromechanical devices; "a cyborg is a cybernetic organism"

  Source for definitions no. 3, 4, 5 :http://www.thefreedictionary.com/cyborg

  6. "a cyborg (short for "cybernetic organism") is a being with both organic and biomechatronic body parts."

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyborg

Based on definitons no. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 we can positively say that Genos is not a cyborg for "he has an entirely mechanical body" (first paragraph) and does not contain any human flesh or tissue, contrary to definiton no.6 : "a being with both organic and biomechatronic body parts."

In definition no. 5 it says "in whole or in part" giving a small possibility to say that he is a cyborg but it is rather an affirmation without a solid base.

I think that he says he says he is a "cyborg" because it sounds better and cooler than "robot". His name in the Hero Association " Demon Cyborg (鬼サイボーグ, Oni Saibōgu)" sounds better than "Demon Robot". Or maybe it was an action made deliberately by the author himself.

In the end, it is the right of everyone to call him as they wish, this fact not being such an influential aspect of the story.


OST Name used in Episode 18 Gundam Build Fighter Try

The song name is "Gundaba Colosseum". It's the 14th track of Gundam Build Fighters Try Original Soundtrack 02.


Nyu is a Diclonious, she's a regressed split personality of Lucy. They share the same body

Whilst it's not explained in depth how Vectors work, it's understood that Vectors are controlled by the user's mind and are telepathic in nature.

Vectors come in several potencies depending on the frequency of the user's brainwaves:

Low frequency - Can go through objects without causing physical interference.
Medium frequency - Can lift objects and throw them, as well as disrupt blood vessels.
High frequency - Can slash through wood, flesh, bone and rock. Can carry liquid on surface.
Extremely high frequency - Highly visible and gain potentially explosive power.

Reference - Elfen Lied Wikia on Vectors

When Lucy is 'Nyu', her intellect and capabilities vastly drop. You may remember when she wet herself in Kouta's house, or the fact that she could only say Nyu when she first met Kouta. We can assume from this that her ability to manifest Vectors is inaccessible due to the decreased mental ability she has with this personality change.


Why is Steins;Gate in the Beta Attractor Field?

The Steins;Gate World Line is not in the Beta Attractor Field.

While the final result of the Beta Attractor Field (World Lines 1% to 1.99%) convergence is WW3 which is fought over Makise Kurisu's time travel thesis, Steins;Gate (1.048596%) is the only exception because the thesis is destroyed (and thus time travel doesn't exist in that World Line).

At the beginning of the final chapter of the VN and episode 23 of the anime, Suzuha herself had told Okabe that the Steins;Gate World Line is not bounded by any attractor field.


Does the Chobits title "ちょびっツ" intentionally look like the word "STUDY"?

I'm going to say no, because:

It does not even remotely look like "STUDY" to me, and I can only barely see how you're coming up with that if I squint.
Some googling strongly suggests that nobody on the Japanese internet or the English internet besides you has ever made this observation.
While I do not know the exact font used here, it looks like a fairly orthodox "POP" font (or perhaps you'd call it a rounded/marumoji font), with little to suggest that it was specifically fiddled with to make it look like the word "STUDY".


He had made the blacksmith of "不知火鉄心 (しらぬい てっしん) (Shiranui-Tesshin)" who live on the earth.
thus, I think answer is the earth.


Why are the main characters of Amagi Brilliant Park named after singers?

My guess is that the author enjoys punny/goofy name schemes. The part-time workers hired by Kanie are named Eiko Adachi, Biino Bandou, and Shiina Chuujou-- A, B, and C. (More obvious in Japanese where their family names would be written first.)

And senshin is right-- Kurisu Takaya is a near-direct transliteration of "Chris Tucker". (Fun fact, a similar gag is used in Steins;Gate for the character Kurisu Makise; she often gets called "Christina"/Kurisu-tina.)


In Terra Formars, why did the German squad have few combat ready crew members?

A possible explanation would be Adolf's ability himself. Adolf's ability was that of an electric eel. He can shoot electricity around with the help of his throwing knives. By fighting alone he won't have to worry about friendly fire or accidentally injures his subordinates from the spark. That's why his squad requires only a few combatants.


Why All for One didnt keep a regeneration quirk for himself?

When All for One first appears in the manga in chapter 59, he talks about, how he wished to have gotten the regeneration quirk sooner (it probably took a long time to get that quirk, since it is so rare), because his wounds had already healed at the time, when he finally got his hands on it. So for those injuries, which had been caused by All Might, the quirk was useless.

But it doesn't say anywhere in the manga, that he doesn't still have it. So, it is very likely, that he still has it and uses it for new injuries.


Where was “In This Corner of the World" funded?

The Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni crowdfunding project was hosted by Makuake, a crowdfunding platform managed by CyberAgent Inc.

It opened on March 9, 2015 with a goal of 20,000,000 yen in 80 days but has hit 36,224,000 yen (181%). It closed and is no longer accepting pledges.

The animation studio is MAPPA, which created Sakamichi no Apollon, and the producer is Genco.

Were Stark and Baraggan Arrancar before joining Aizen?

We have to disambiguate normal Hollow from Arrancar.  Normal Hollow don't retain much in the way of a human-like form and are relatively mindless beasts consumed with the hunger for powerful souls.  Arrancar evolve Soul Reaper-like powers and remove their mask, allowing for a human-like appearance.  The higher in rank the Arrancar, the more human-like they appear.

It is perfectly possible for a Hollow to evolve on their own into an Arrancar of varying rank.  That is to say, there are natural Arrancar in Hueco Mundo who were at a specific power level before Aizen approached them.  Several of Aizen's court were at Adjuchas and Vasto Lorde levels before he arrived.

In the case of Barragan Louisenbairn and Coyote Starrk, not only were they already Arrancar, but given that they are the Secundo and Primero Espada respectively, it is more than likely that they were already Vasto Lorde.


At what point does Naruto surpass Kakashi?

This is highly opinion based question. The lists you might be referring to are mostly personal rankings by individuals who are using bias/potential to rank individual Ninjas. For Example, Ina-Shika-Cho may be great in a team, but lose out individually. However, I'll try to answer the question based on canon information only.

Naruto surpassed Kakashi in terms of Raw Strength and power as a Ninja, when he mastered the Wind Style: Rasenshuriken. This is proven by the fact that he defeats a Ninja Kakashi had trouble with in his 2nd attack and pretty much one shots him.

This was an achievement that showcases Naruto's persistence and talent as a Ninja, creating a move that both his Father and Sensei (Kakashi, Jiraiya) couldn't do.
He had been moving up the chain for several instances (like defeating Itachi duplicate), but this is the most clear demarkation of his prowess is beating Kakazu 1v1 with his Rasenshuriken. This is further proven by the fact that Kakashi himself said it wondering if Naruto had surpassed him. .

Later also Kakashi admits to Naruto, that he might be even stronger than him now.

Finally, The moment where everyone acknowledges Naruto's strength and talent is clearly beating Pain. Jiraiya and Kakashi died fighting Pain, while Naruto was able to beat him soundly. This moment, leaves no premise for confusion. So somewhere between Kakuzu and Pain Naruto had surpassed Kakashi!


What is the significance of fifteen strokes in a name?

It is a cultural thing, but parallells can be drawn with other cultures of course. Some consider(ed) characters with more strokes to be more classy and aristocratic. Which goes back in history, peasants had shorter and more simple names—often practical in their nature. While the rich could have several names, with rich symbolism, more abstract meaning and sometimes exotic pronunciation.

Some of the really aristocratic families in olden times actually created their own characters so they could be really unique (often by adding a stroke or two to an existing character or by combining two or more existing characters into one). This is actually referenced in many Japanese/Chinese dramas where a name can be “taken” from someone by removing a stroke or character, as well as adding a stroke to the (real/adopting) father’s given name so that the relation father–son could well be seen, as well as adding rich philosophical ideas to the relationship. For example, consider the anime movie Spirited Away where the protagonist Chihiro has part of her name taken away by a witch, which then becomes Sen (while the pronunciation differ, the character 千 sen is actually the same as chi- in 千尋 Chihiro).

But back to the number of strokes. There is one Japanese belief (not sure how widespread) that it is good fortune to have the same number of strokes in your given name and the family name (not seldom combined with similar meaning and/or pronunciation). That, and that some numbers in themselves are considered either auspicious or inauspicious are additional aspects on the stroke count. (For example the number four is considered ill-lucky as it can be pronounced the same as 死 shi “death”, while the number eight is one of the more lucky, a heirloom from the Chinese culture.)

八木本一大 (YAGIMOTO Kazuhiro)

八 hachi (here ya-), the number eight (2 strokes)
木 ki (here -gi-), a tree (4 strokes)
本 hon (here -moto), a book (5 strokes)
一 ichi (here kazu-), the number one (1 stroke)
大 ōki (here -hiro), something large (3 strokes)

That is 11 strokes in the surname and 4 strokes in the given name (15 strokes total). Ordinary characters, low stroke count, common pronunciation and very concrete, everyday meanings. It’s hard to get more low profile than this, naming-wise!

羊飼桃乃 (HITSUJIKAI Momono)

羊 hitsuji, a sheep (6 strokes)
飼 kau (here -kai), to keep animals (13 strokes)
桃 momo, a peach or peach tree (10 strokes)
乃 no, an older form of the possessive marker の (2 strokes)

That is 19 strokes in the surname and 12 strokes in the given name (31 strokes total). The double of Kazuhiro’s. When it comes to the meaning and pronunciation of Momono’s characters they are somewhat more “refined” than Kazuhiro’s. It adds to the feeling of a name belonging to someone more important. Which I guess is what the mangaka is trying to achieve, name-wise. Of course, a childish game, but yet an important one if you are insecure in your own place.

He he, I was only going to write a sentence or two. And still, there is much more to be said. If you wish to know more, take a look at Japanese folktales and history.


Who, specifically, did Yanagida mean by "half the world"?

In the manga, in chapter 7, Yanagida mentions:

  Is there something here that's worth turning America, China, and Russia... half of the world into our enemies?

It's been mentioned that (emphasis mine):

  The major powers, China, the European Union (EU), India, Japan, Russia, and the United States, contain just over half the world's people and account for 75 percent of global GDP and 80 percent of global defense spending.

So he's likely to mean most of developed countries that are world powers. Most notably America, China, and Russia.


Well, in the original web novel Rimuru's slime form is silver and the human form is described as having silver hair. But in the light novel and manga adaptations they changed it to blue. The anime's art and story are more closely based on the manga than the webnovel, so I'd guess that's why he appears as having blue hair in the anime too.

In the scene you're referring to, Milim does actually call him silver-haired and it's not a bad translation. Maybe blue just looks better on screen, I don't know why they do this. Although, there are some other anime too where the hair color looks different from what it's supposed to be, I don't pay it much heed.


Why did Sting and Rogue kill their father dragons?

MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT

I apologize for not able to give any specific details or chapters of where it's from, but in the manga of Fairy Tails, when Natsu's team first faced off Sting and Rogue, they were informed that Sting and Rogue killed their dragons to become a proper Dragon Slayer. Later on when it's the crisis of magic disappearing (with all the giant faces), 5 Dragons showed up and saved the day. It was then that

   Shadow dragon and the white dragon told everyone that they encouraged Sting and Rogue to kill themselves because 1. they were sick anyway, 2. to hide their existence from Acnologia (the Dragon Slayer who became a Dragon himself), 3. hopefully they would become stronger and more confident from killing them.

Chapter 413 shows the dragon destroying the faces and if you read from around there you should be able to find what you're looking for. The information I have given might be a bit off but hope it helps.


In the visual novel of Clannad, how many after stories are there?

Tomoyo is the only one who has a separate visual novel.

In general, whenever you have questions about how visual novels are interrelated, a good first stop is the VN's relationship diagram on VNDB - here's the one for Clannad.

You'll notice in this case that there appear to be other related VNs like "Kyou After" and "Clannad: Lost Winter", but note that those are indicated by dotted arrows on the diagram. This indicates that the relationship is "unofficial", which typically means that one of the two things linked by the arrow is a fan-produced work.


How did Homura able to return to a past where Madoka isn't already a Magical Girl?

This is because the date in which Homura returns to is actually before Madoka contracts with Kyubey

Looking at the Timelines Wiki page we see that it's estimated that Madoka makes the contract a couple of days after Homura would wake up in the hospital.

while the wiki page says that the dates shouldn't be taken as canon we can make the assumption that this is close to being correct as we see in the Hospital on Homura's Calander.

according to the wiki

  The calendar we see in Homura's hospital room reads "leaving hospital" on Wednesday the 16th and "going to school" on Friday the 25th. March has 31 days with the 25th falling on a Friday in 2011, and is the only such month in 2011.

In the 4th Timeline shown in Episode 10 (the timeline after the one Homura shoots Madoka's soul gem at her request) we see Homura appear in Madoka's window warning her while holding a dead Incubator.

at the end of the 3rd Timeline we also get an indication of this in what Madoka asks of Homura

  Madoka: Sorry, I lied. I guess I still have one left.
  Homura: But why?! You should've used it!
  Madoka: It's better this way. I want you to do something that I couldn't do. You can go back in time, right, Homura? You can go back and change everything... so that we don't end up like this...
  Homura: Okay...?
  Madoka: Then save me from being stupid, from getting tricked. Don't let Kyubey fool me again.
  Homura: I swear I'll save you! I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe! I'll come back again and again and again! I'll save you! I swear!

this would indicate that at some point in the third Timeline Homura had told the other girls (or at least Madoka) that she could go back in time, not just freeze it like they would have seen. Madoka also seems to imply that she knows Homura can travel back to a point in time before she made the contract which i would see coming up in the conversation.

Since Homura's return point in the past is always the same, this would indicate that between Homura's release from hospital (when she wakes up) and when she'll transfer to school is when Madoka makes the contract as such in the 4th Timeline and beyond that Homura would intercept any Incubator who would try to trick Madoka


Kagari is Mayuri's adopted daughter from 2036, in the Beta World Line (Divergence 1.129848%). She time traveled with Suzuha into the past, but got separated in 1998.

She is a war orphan and her true name is not known due to her family registry being destroyed.


Does the anti-Titan artillery exists in the anime?

As far as I remember

  The anti-titan artillery is developed by other nations (other than Eldians and Marleys) to counter Marleys titans. since we are not introduced to Marleys and the world beyond the walls in the anime, I'd say it's too soon to say there is no anti-titan artillery in the anime.


How did Rance avoid impregnating anyone?

Originally, Rance had no contraception spell on him, nor did he use any other form of contraception.  He was basically saved by luck and convenience for a long time.

Using the personal timeline for Rance on the Alicesoft wikia, we have the following pregnancy related events for Rance:

GI1013 15 years old

Taught how to interact with girls from the female warrior and learn how to prevent getting a girl pregnant though he mostly ignored these lessons. He was also trained in basic survival techniques and swordsmanship.

GI1015 (= LP0000) 17 years old

One of his victims, a girl in a wealthy family, had an abortion, causing Rance to begin taking birth control into consideration.

LP0001 18 years old

While working as a body guard for a slave trader, he purchased a slave, Sill, from a slave trader.

LP0002 19 years old

Bounded the devil Ferris into his service. With her, he later conceives his first child, Dark Rance.

LP0004 21 years old

Helped Dark Rance rescue Ferris.

This last event is worth saying more about, in particular.  Rance was not aware that Ferris had gotten pregnant and had a child before Dark Rance showed up, nor did he know that there were severe consequences for Ferris as a result.  This is when Rance actually took pregnancy completely seriously, leading him to have Sill place a contraception spell on him.

For the sake of clarity, it may be worth noting that Devil children grow up much faster than human ones.  Dark Rance was somewhere around the equivalent of an 8 year old when he shows up to Rance, despite having been conceived at most two years ago.

At this point we can note he has one child, and impregnated at least one other woman (who ended up having an abortion).  He's not done yet, of course.

LP0005 22 years old

Hotspring trip to JAPAN. Had a chance meeting with Oda Nobunaga, became fast friends, and become the hidden ruler of the Oda House.
Rangi was born.

Yamamoto Rangi is the son of Yamamoto Isoroku and Rance.  As the alicesoft wikia link notes, it is not clearly stated what allowed Isoroku to become impregnated, as Sill and the contraception spell are still active during the time period Isoroku would have had sex with Rance.  In Isoroku's own route, Rance specifically orders Sill to remove the contraception spell so that Isoroku may bear his son (she joined him specifically under the condition that he would give her a son to continue her family line).  However, this is a side route and not the "canonical" route that subsequent games would use.  Nevertheless, Rangi is referenced in subsequent materials, leading to the various conjectures on the wikia about how Rance managed to get her pregnant.  I'll note that Rance also has a son with Isoroku, under the same pretenses, in the What-If game Kichikuou Rance (Savage King Rance).

But Rance is still not done, especially since after his JAPAN trip Sill has been encased in ice and the contraception spell is no longer in effect.

LP0006 23 years old

Incident at Kalar forest. Resulting Rance being cursed by Pastel Kalar.
Reset Kalar was born.

The curse is because Rance raped Pastel Kalar.  Pastel soon after gave birth to Reset Kalar.  Reset is also born to Rance and Pastel in Kichikuou Rance, though in that game the sex was consensual and for the sole purpose of procreation.  Seriously.  Kalars also age much faster than humans.

This is the most recent child Rance has had so far.  It is unclear if he will have more.


Why didn’t Misa kill L the second time she got shinigami eyes?

These are actually several questions and should be asked separately (And at least one of them has already been answered). Also, please be sure to include your own research on the matter in future questions.
Why didn’t Misa kill L second time she got shinigami eyes?
The event that should have lead to her killing L was her obtaining ownership and thus regaining her memory. The only reason she made the deal a second time is that she does not remember the name and wants to see it again. However, she never meets L again and thus does not see his name.
Why did she get them then, knowing her lifespan was going to be shortened?
From a logical point of view, since Misa was saved by Gelus, she received his remaining life span and might potentially still have centuries to live even after halving her life span twice (though it is not clear how much she actually gained, given that human years and shinigami years might not work the same way and Gelus did spend quite some time watching her, assumably not killing many people).
Thought Misa is not known to be that rational. She simply wants to help/ please Light and assumes that, since she was that close to L for months, she would be able to see him again at some point. She probably planned on killing him right after meeting him the next time but that never happened.
Why did Rem do it?
Rem had stated several times, that she would do whatever it takes to protect Misa. She even agreed on killing L before the Yotsuba-arch because she did not care about Light and at that point and Light's life was the only one that would have been prolonged. Unfortunately, she never had the chance to see L before the incarceration of Misa and after comparing Light to Yotsuba-Kira, Rem grew fond of him and could no longer kill L without prolonging a human life that she wanted to protect.
After Misa regained her DN and started killing again, Rem realized that L would catch her at some point but Light would not waste the asset of Misa's Shinigami Eyes if L was dead. So the only thing Rem could do to protect Misa was to kill L and make sure that Light had all the advantages she could provide. Light prompted this reaction by talking about the possible punishment for Kira but I am sure that Rem would have come to the same conclusion anyway.


Given the fact that Itachi asked Obito to help him eliminate the Uchiha, why was he surprised when he knew about the secret mission?

Itachi may have asked Madara's help but it was never explicitly said that he revealed the true reason behind his actions.

  Itachi may have lied to Madara like he did to Sasuke that he massacred
  all uchiha to test his powers.

Itachi may be thinking that Madara was convinced with his reasoning, while Madara knew the true reason that he was doing all this by leaf village's orders.


What happened in the battle between Shanks and The King of Beasts

From the wiki,

  When Kaido tried to stop Whitebeard from going to Marineford, Shanks interfered and clashed with him in order to allow the other Yonko to rescue Ace. It is not known what happened during their encounter, but Shanks arrived at Marineford unharmed. Could this testament prove that Shanks is way stronger than Kaido? No one can say for sure since only Oda knows how it happened exactly, unless it will be revealed in a later chapter. But the fact that he arrived unharmed could imply it was more of a one-sided fight that was probably not worth mentioning.


The color varies widely based on multiple factors:

Lighting
Paper type (I'll get there in a minute)
Scanner type and quality

Therefore, I can't 100% give you a color estimate (it could be anything from very light yellowish-gray to very dark gray).

As for paper types. There are also several types of paper that could be used for printing manga:

Newspaper-like paper, which is thin and has a slight gray shade.
Recycled paper, which is yellowish in composure and often has little "grains" in it.

There are probably a whole lot more, but that's the prominent two I know of.


Without effectively counting the occurrences, I believe the easiest answer is Seiya himself as he is the real protagonist of the whole main series and the one that always fights more enemies than the others and defeats the final Boss/God of each series.


It was never shown, how he learned to fly, so that's pure speculation. The DragonBall-Wiki has a possible explanation:

  Goku likely learned how to fly from Kami during his long training at Kami's Lookout, as he was unable to do so before and demonstrated his abilities to conclude his World Martial Arts Tournament fight with Piccolo.

Have any Zoan types other than Chopper gained the ability to transform into more than three things?

Chopper can transform into 7 different things (not including monster point) with the rumble ball.

You answered your own question right there. He's completely reliant on a drug that he developed in order to make the additional transformations. Before the timeskip he was able to do the original 3 transformations without the rumble ball, and an additional 4 with the rumble ball.

After the timeskip he no longer needs the rumble ball for all 7 original transformations. There is nothing canon that explains why. However with the fact that he is able to transform into Monster Point with only 1 rumble ball now hints that he has developed a permanent effect of some degree that allows this.

It is assumed at this point that Chopper could theoretically develop something for other Zoan-class users assuming the rumble ball didn't already work for them. Suffice to say that at this point no other known scientists have developed anything similar.


Xeno Goku super saiyan 4 and super saiyan god transformations, which transformation is stronger?

We don't know for a fact as to whether Xeno Goku was referring to himself using the Super Saiyan God transformation or him referring to a Goku of an alternate timeline using the same hence, there are no feats to make an accurate comparison between the two.Hence, it would simply end up in a SSJ4 vs SSJG debate which is impossible to determine with a definite certainty as to which of the two transformations is stronger as there aren't any official multipliers to conclude with a definite answer. However, based on the following facts and events that happened in the Dragon Ball Z and Super(Which are considered canon), I believe the SSJG transformation might be stronger.Super Buu was about the same level of strength as SSJ3 Gotenks who was substantially stronger than Goku (SSJ3 Goku struggled against Kid Buu).Ultimate Gohan was a lot Superior to SSJ3 Goku and Buuhan, the combination of Super Buu + Ultimate Gohan is on a whole another level.I believe scaling SSJ4 Goku to be as strong as Buuhan is too much of a stretch but even if that were the case, SSJ Vegito easily manhandles Buuhan without any effort.Post Buu Saga trained Goku after getting defeated by Beerus stated that even a fusion between Goku and Vegeta wouldn't stand a chance against Beerus.When the SSJG ritual fails the first time, Gohan stated that Goku's level of power was so intense and something he had never sensed before. Note: This was even after seeing Vegeta fight Beerus(Who surpassed SSJ3 Goku) and also taking into consideration his power as Ultimate Gohan and even all the Buu saga characters.One can easily conclude the Battle of Gods arc Vegito would be substantially stronger in comparison to the Buu saga Vegito who easily manhandles Buuhan and once Goku turned SSJG, he thought he had a chance against Beerus making it  even stronger.One would ask why Xeno Goku doesn't utilize that form over the SSJ4 form. However, it has been established that one would require special training(Goku and Vegeta with Whis, Toppo with Marcarita), to master the usage of this divine ki. So perhaps Xeno Goku cannot tap into this form anymore.As stated earlier, my answer is based on factual evidence from Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super which are considered canon. Since there are no actual multipliers for these transformations, one cannot conclude with a certainty as to which form is stronger.


In a flashback that starts in Glass 113, "The Past", it is revealed that his father is named "Sasakura Genichi" who was a former Diet member. His nickname was "The Monster of Nagata."


Can Sasuke use the Shadow Clone Justu? Sure he can! However, he chooses not to because he does not want to associate himself with using Naruto's signature justu, which he sees as Naruto's weakness and coping method to his loneliness.
Shadow Clone Technique

Trivia
Due to Naruto's extensive usage of this technique, Sasuke sees it as a symbolic way for Naruto to avoid loneliness

This is referencing the manga, Chapter 696

In addition, there is a scene in the anime (which I can't vouch for being in the manga or not) during Sasuke's training where Orochimaru has him slay 1,000 un-named ninjas. Sasuke sees himself strong enough to not even need the help of Shadow Clones


How long was Sasuke actually in Squad 7?

This is what I managed to find, looking at the anime and manga and doing a little research on the internet. It is known that the day of the Ninja Graduation Ceremony is around January 22 (Naruto was still 12 years old), since the story began on January 18 and January 23 is Kiba's birthday (who graduated from 12 years), and because the registration was around 2 days after the start of Naruto's story.
Then we have the day when the fights with the Sound Four and the fight in the Valley of the End occurred, which is the official day of the end of team 7. That day is no later than September 22, it is between the 2 and September 22, on those dates all the events are fulfilled, including that Tsunade must be older than 50 years, that Shikamaru is 12 years old when he becomes Chunnin, among others. Let's meet the following.
-22 January - Team 7 formation
-22 September - Fight in the valley of the end

What is the criterion to get the Super Dragon Balls in the TOP?

The criteria for the same hasn't been stated clearly. The Grand Priest only stated that the Universe with the Most fighters remaining in the end would be the winner and the Best performing fighter would receive the Super Dragon Balls. Generally, the last man standing would most likely be the best fighter. However, this might not be true considering Freiza who is weaker than Goku and Jiren is still standing.However, it is most likely that the Super Dragon Balls are going to be given to the last man standing because the other scenarios aren't possible.The fighter with the most eliminations get the Super Dragon Balls:  This is not possible as if the fighter happens to be from a Universe which is eliminated, he would be erased. Example:(Suppose Jiren wins and Universe 11 wins, Goku and Vegeta would still have the most eliminations but they wouldn't get the super dragon balls as they would be erased.)The strongest fighter: It is fair to assume that the strongest fighter wouldn't be eliminated as there isn't anyone strong enough to eliminate him. The only way he wouldn't obtain the Super Dragon Balls is if the other team has more fighters remaining. Then the Super Dragon Ball would most likely be given to the strongest/ best-performing fighter on the opposing team. Example:(Suppose Jiren is still stronger than Goku and doesn't get eliminated. Also, Goku and Freiza remain in the end. Jiren wouldn't get the Super Dragon Balls even if he happens to be stronger as Universe 7 would have more fighters).The last man standing: This is most likely the criteria as there aren't any special cases like the other 2 scenarios where someone who doesn't clearly fit the criteria isn't rewarded the Super Dragon Balls. This only problem with this case would be if equal number of fighters from more than 1 Universe remain. However, it could easily be solved by having them fight until only 1 fighter is left.


Pokemon: dialogue spoken by Ursula. Can you tell me the dialogue spoken by Ursula?

Ursula: My, my, what do you know, if it isn’t sweet little Dawn

Dawn: Ursula

Ursula: I have the less than great pleasure of seeing your performance yesterday

(meaning: I didn’t enjoy your performance very much yesterday)

Ursula: as usual, sheer dumb luck appears to have gotten you pass performance stage, and I hate to burst your bubble but you’re hardly capable of winning this.

(your luck have saved you again, I hate to disturb you from your daydream but you don’t have the skills to win)

Dawn: What did you Say?

Ursula: however, I do hope you make it to the final round, that way when I beat you, you’ll make me look all that much better, agreed?

(but I do hope you make it to the finals, you’ll make me look so much better with your defeat, don’t you agree?)

Dawn: no, I do not!

Ash: Dawn is going to win.
