OK, this is a hard question and not much is released about it till now.

Here's a short summary:

There are multiple characters in the One Piece universe with the letter D in their name:

Monkey D. Luffy, Monkey D. Garp, Monkey D. Dragon, Gol D. Roger, Trafalgar D. Water Law, Marshall D. Teach, Portgas D. Rouge and more.

In the Wiki, I found this:

  Whitebeard noted that killing the bloodline of a D does not put out the flames that they (a person carrying the "D") carry and someone else simply will pick it up one day

So there, the "D" is linked to someone's name and not to the bloodline itself. So this would mean, you can't wipe out the will of "D". It will appear somewhere else in some other family.

Law said:

  What's the Dark King thinking this time? The Will of the D. will almost certainly call up a storm again

and also the Gorosei mentions:

  "D" means danger

So we can say this question is not surely answerable right now. But I'm quite sure this "D" is not just about bloodline. I agree that in the Monkey family the will is given to the next generation, but I don't think it's just about the blood, it's more than that.

Update: I also found a pretty interesting where "the will of D" could mean "the will to die". Reddit

  Gol D. Roger, gave himself in the arms of death to inspire a new generation of pirates. Portgas D. Ace, fought for the honor of his captain and died saving his brother.
  Let's take a look at Marshall D. Teach. While fighting with Whitebeard he showed clear signs that he feared death. Minutes later we get a speech from Whitebeard telling us that he was not the man Roger is waiting for, and that he was also not a true D.*

You can find this in chapter 576.

At this point, Whitebeard speaks also about the "bloodline" and not just about the name. And you also never know how correctly translated this mangas are.
I know its not a clear answer, but maybe you found some aspects which helps you.


Is there a (relatively) clear consensus for Hange Zoe's gender?

In the Anime, Hange is clearly female. In the manga, it's left for the reader to interpret.

What will I miss if I start watching Naruto from episode 26 (recap episode)?

Not necessarily, although you will miss the character building stuff and some content that may be referenced in the future, so make sure you atleast read the synopsis or summary of the episodes.


No, they are not blood-related. When Lee wasn't in Guy-sensei's team yet, he was often mocked and bullied because of his inability to use any techniques other than Taijutsu. Guy-sensei was the first one to really believe in Lee's abilities, and thus he became Lee's idol. From the wiki:

  When first joining Team Guy Lee's appearance changed drastically. He had shorter hair than before that curved upwards in the back. He still maintained the Chinese appearance, since he wore a robe and a martial arts belt around his waist. After joining Might Guy's team, his appearance changed considerably to emulate his idol and sensei.

Here's an image of how Lee used to look:

So, as you can see, he just changed his appearance to look more like Guy whom he idolizes.


What is the music that plays in episode 21 of Shippuden?

This is Track 21 - Kouchaku ( Stalemate ) from the Naruto Shippūden: Original Soundtrack (2007).


Why are there songs in OSTs and music albums that don't appear in the anime?

The Opening and Ending tracks are normally shorter for anime, as the songs were usually originals developed before the anime and the artist was paid for a portion of it to be used in the anime, not to mention that the songs also need to fit in broadcast time. On the other hand, there are also Opening and Ending tracks which were purposely made for the anime (or the other way around like the case of Black Rock Shooter).

  Some songs are even from full albums by the bands or singers in the anime, but they also didn’t appear in the anime either.

These are probably the singles where Opening and Ending tracks come from, like with a lot of ALI PROJECT's album, as I said above, sometimes an artist is paid for just a portion. Of course, there's nothing stopping an artist building an album around that song as well.

Certain BGMs are sometimes actually a number of BGMs from an anime which were split, which is why sometimes there seems to be some songs missing.

There are also Character CDs, which have audio dramas of a character who had an identifiable theme in the anime, plus extra songs. These can normally be identified with the album art focusing on the characters alone.

Then there are Audio Episodes, I haven't heard to many (and I only know of the Code Geass ones). They use some tracks from the anime, but they also use music unique to the audio episode.


What is the name of the song that plays at 12:40 in Noragami Aragoto episode 7?

What's the name of the song that plays during Morgiana's dancing scene at the end of ep 18 in Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic?

I found it out... it's called "L'arabesque danse toujours"


Why is the bang covering the right eye so prevalent among anime hairstyles?

It's mostly done because it looks cool. It's a very simple design choice that introduces asymmetry to a character's face, makes them a little more interesting to look at.

In general, hiding part of the face makes a character seem more mysterious or withdrawn, so it's useful to contribute to characterization for those characters that are shy or aloof, it reinforces that characterization.

There's no special significance to the right eye, in fact it's not uncommon for the side of the face that's covered to switch back and forth, either due to mistakes made by the artist/animator or due to the angle the character is seen at, or due to an actual change in the character's design (Sanji, for example, switches which side of his face is covered by hair after the time skip in One Piece).


Why does Accelerator need a necklace to use his powers?

So, Accelerator's ability requires a ton of calculation and mental power in order to function. Seeing as how Accelerator himself possesses extremely high intellect, he was able to perform these calculations by himself no problem.

However, once he got shot, his frontal lobe was greatly damaged. He lost many of his motor skills, including the ability to walk. He also lost a huge amount of his mental capacity, hindering his ability to speak, read, and perform normal mental functions. Naturally, this affected his ability to make the calculations required for his power.

The device that he wears on his neck was developed by Heaven Canceller. It's connected to the Misaka Network, and the Misaka Network performs the calculations for him. This allowed him to regain enough mental capacity to think, speak, and read normally, as well as granting him the ability to walk again. It also helps performs the calculations that are needed for his powers to work, although it's stated that the calculation ability provided by the device is less than half of what he once had.


Is there any news about Hunter x Hunter since March 2016?

Finally we got one great news.
According to this Link and wiki:

It's been a big past few weeks for "Hunter x Hunter" fans. After
Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump" announced mid-March that "Hunter x
Hunter" would be making its return to the magazine (confirmed for
April 18) after being on hiatus since 2014, fans in America now have
even more to look forward to, as Adult Swim's Toonami revealed that an
English dub for the series will be aired on the network starting April
16.
The announcement was made Friday during a pre-show feature on the
Adult Swim website Toonami: Pre-flight. The series will make its
premiere on the network starting April 16 at 1 a.m.


In the fight between Jiraiya and Pain, why didn't Fukasaku and Shima's sound genjutsu affect Nagato?

I think Nagato's awareness is divided between the Pains, so unless they were all affected by sound genjutsu, he would not be.


What's the meaning of the spell's name that Wendy uses to cure Natsu's vehicle-sickness?

This is probably just a random word created by the mangaka for the spell's name. It's probably just a coincidence that Troia meant whore in Italian translation. After all, it's a healing magic so it won't make sense that the mangaka chose that kind of word intentionally if knew that meaning in Italian translation. You can find Troia's full description here.


Is there any explanation on how Z fighters control the power of their ki based attacks?

I do not think they are any in-universe explanations for that. I have actually noticed some inconsistency in the damages the Z fighters can generate when fighting.

However, it is important to note that Dragon Ball is an old Shonen manga (first chapter was released in 1984). Back then, authors were not so rigorous and consistent with the plots and power levels as in other more recent mangas. Akira Toriyama regularly (and casually!) admits he has introduced many plot-holes in the Dragon Ball series.

On a side note, when Goku defeats Frieza, he is about 150,000 times stronger than when he fought Raditz. How much stronger is Goku in Super Saiyan Blue form? I reckon it can be difficult to be consistent when such exponential strength growths are involved.

From the latest Dragon Ball Super episodes, I suppose it is safe to say Akira Toriyama has not changed his approach to mangas and does not pay much attention to such minor inconsistencies.


Viz Media was responsible for localizing the Battle Angel Alita manga, and the reason apparently makes no sense, (from this page):

  Gally's name is changed to Alita. Why this was done is unknown, but the person who decided on the change tried to "validate" it, explaining that coincidentally Alita comes from Russian and has something to do with Mars (which is where Gally is from, incidentally).

There's a dream sequence where in the original Japanese version, Gally's dream self is named "Alita". The Viz version has the two reversed.

  Back in 1993, as Kishiro-sensei was quickly bringing things to a close with the Gunnm manga, he came across a plot point which he could use to take a jab at Viz. Early on, Kishiro learned that Viz decided to change, for reasons that truly make no sense, Gally's name to Alita. Towards the end of the series, Dr. Nova traps Gally in the Oruboros machine, in an attempt to crush her spirit. At one point, Nova is talking with Ido and suggests her name to be (in the japanese version) "Alita," the cat's name is "Gally." (Gally and the cats' names are important). Unfortunately, Viz decides to play along word for word, and Nova names her "Gally" and the cat is "Alita." So much for that potshot.

Additionally, Viz changed a bunch of names of a city, facility, and the computer (via Wikipedia, with emphasis):

  Besides renaming Gally to Alita, the North American version of the manga also changed the city of Salem to Tiphares, after Tiferet. Since Kishiro also used the name Jeru for the facility atop Salem, Jeru was renamed Ketheres in the translation, after Keter. To further develop the Biblical theme in the original series, Salem's main computer was named Melchizedek, "the king of Salem" and "priest to the Most High God".

Although "Alita" isn't a bible reference (western religion), a number of these names were changed, and Alita is a western name (moreso than "Gally"), so that it's more accessible to western audiences.

EDIT: I found the quote, from AN's "Ask John" column:

  In the October 1993 issue of Animerica, Fred Burke, co-translator for the Viz Comics Battle Angel Alita manga explains that, “For a Viz Comic to work, it’s got to appeal to more than just the hard-core manga and anime crowd;” therefore there were several alterations made in the translation of the manga. Yukito Kishiro’s title Gunnm, a compound of Gun Dream, was re-named Battle Angel Alita. Gally, the protagonist, had her name changed to Alita, a name, Burke explains, means “noble:” a name that he discovered while searching through a book of baby names. Burke also explains that, for no reason given, the floating city Zalem was re-named Tiphares: a name meaning “beauty,” taken from the Qabalah and the mystical Tree of Life. Furthermore, Yugo’s name was given a cosmetic change to Hugo for American readers.


Why did mama (Isabella) tell Phil "they escaped safely"?

She did suspect Phil but then after looking for the situation she concluded that
the younger kids didn't know anything. (chapter 35).
So why did she tell Phil everyone has escaped safely? That's because she already admitted her defeat (chapter 37), and with that, she had nothing to lose anymore.

 But ultimately, it's because from the bottom of her heart, she actually loves them and didn't want Phil to worry about them


Is Mario Bosh/Bossi Triela's real father?

As the background story on the wiki states (I believe this part is handle further on in the manga so do consider this a spoiler)

  Originally from Tunisia, Triela was kidnapped and smuggled to Amsterdam by the Mafia, where she was drugged, tortured, and sexually assaulted during the routine taping of a snuff film. Victor Hartmann and Rachelle Belleut, acting on a lead from guilt-racked Camorra mafioso Mario Bossi, stormed the warehouse where she was being held captive and subsequently rescued her, just as she was succumbing to her injuries and to cardiac arrest.


Subtitles vs closed captioning translation difference on Netflix?(specific to Funimation titles)

Closed captioning (CC) and subtitling are both processes of displaying text on a television, video screen, or other visual display to provide additional or interpretive
information. Basically, both are the same. But looking into it technically, CC offers more.

From Wikipedia article on Closed Captioning:

  HTML5 defines subtitles as a "transcription or translation of the dialogue ... when sound is available but not understood" by the viewer (for example, dialogue in a foreign language)

and

  captions as a "transcription or translation of the dialogue, sound effects, relevant musical cues, and other relevant audio information ... when sound is unavailable or not clearly audible" (for example, when audio is muted or the viewer is hearing impaired).

To put it in simple words, subtitles display the dialogue whereas CC  is meant to replace sound, not just dialogue.

About your question, in most cases, the CC differs very much from the subtitles. This is because, in this case, Netflix, not only focuses on what's being said, but also on pretty much everything thats going on around. Subtitles, like you mentioned in your question, are often DVD localisations. But the CC  available on Netflix could be

made by the employees.
made by Audio Recognition softwares.
submitted by users or volunteers.

Therefore it leaves a significant margin for error. Hence resulting in the obvious difference between the subtitles and CC. I dont use Netflix, but it seems the matter is not exclusive to Funimation series.

And the color of the texts, I guess is just to imply that subtitles will be yellow colored while CC white.

What happened to people with other skin colors?

This question cannot be answered with canonical information, since it is about a work in progress and the origin story is still shrouded in mystery.

But there are several assumptions you are making:

That the series takes place in Earth.
That even if it is not Earth, there are earth-like ethnics.
That what happened to several people happened to all the people, worldwide. Maybe the titan incident is just restricted to a small continent or a large island, and the rest of the world goes on their medieval life undaunted by the gross titans.
That even if it is in the same Earth as ours, and the titans are worldwide, that It is set in a time where people from several ethnical groups have traveled worldwide, like way after the XIV - XV centuryies great navigations (Columbus, Pedro Álvares Cabral, Vasco da Gama, etc)

So, assuming there are a ethnical pallete in the world of Attack on Titan as broad as our Earth, several hypothesis can be raised:

Asians were included for identification purposes. The target audience of a Japanese manga are Japanese people, so by "placing" them inside the fictional world, it raises identification and acceptance of the work. That is why almost all the 80's and 90's cartoons had a "token kid".

   The first king hand-picked the chosen ones for his walled kindom. He might have intentionally left out the undesirables, as is shown that there is a heavy ethnical bias in place.

The setting is not futuristic. If I had to explain to a layman, I would say "early steampunk". There are gas-powered gadgets, but they are cutting edge tech created on the pressure the survival drive puts on science. Definitely medieval. This was already subject of a Q&A in this site.

   Just as Asians display special characteristics (as do other ethical groups) maybe Africans had some anti-titanification powers or were immune to the Directive.

But your guess is as good as mine. See the disclaimer on top.


What are the Naruto hand seals based on?

The hand seals in Naruto are based in Mudra, which are symbolic/ritual gestures associated to Hinduism and Buddhism. Mudra are used in everyday life, from religious practices to dances, going through martial arts as well. The most well-known Mudra is probably Añjali Mudrā, which often accompanies the greeting Namaste.
In the French version of the Mudra Wikipedia page, they do indeed link directly to Naruto's hand seals page, unlike what happens in the English page. However, they don't add much info other than the fact that they are called Mudra, and that they're based on the Chinese Zodiac.

From Wikipedia's page on Mudra, on its use on Martial Arts (highlight by me):

  One of the more curious things that I encountered in my martial arts training was the use of mudra in combative arts. Mudra (Japanese: in), for those who aren't familiar with them, are these weird hand gestures that are derived from esoteric Buddhism (mikkyo), particularly the Tendai and Shingon sects. These gestures are supposed to generate spiritual focus and power which then are manifested in some way externally.

However, as far as I know (and also according to this page) the use of Mudra in Ninjutsu is made up by Kishimoto (once again, highlights by me):

  Although the use of hand seals in ninjutsu is entirely made up by Kishimoto, seals are used as ways to focus energy during Buddhist meditation. Also, special hand signs, called mudras, are used to convey a certain concept into the user. For example, a right hand raised with palm facing outwards means “no fear”, and grants the user that concept’s blessing through their meditation. The seals in Naruto are from the oriental zodiac, the 12 animals which name the years (I was born in the year of the snake, for instance), the properties of each seal representing what that animal’s qualities are - Eg, Tora/Tiger seal is fire.

Basically, in real life hand seals are used in meditative practice, and are supposed to help the user get into a certain state of mind.
In the Naruto universe, Kishimoto decided to use these ancient signs in a different way (associated to Ninjutsu), but their purpose is basically the same. The user performs hand seals in order to gather/mold chakra, which means that he is entering a certain state of mind when he does so. Also, when a user masters a jutsu he needs to perform less/no signs before he can do it, which means that the meditation phase before the use of the jutsu can be skipped/sped up. Similarly, the more one meditates, the easier it gets for him to get into a state of meditation.
So they are basically based in an existing concept, but used in a different context (in Ninjutsu), with basically the same function.

For more info in Mudra, also see this page.


What did Jinbe lose in Charlotte's roulette?

As stated in chapter 834 afterward, Jinbe didn't go through with the roulette because it is set up in a way that somebody who does it will probably lose his life and that wasn't what he wanted because of his pledge to Luffy.

So he just went for the normal thing somebody would do and he betrayed her in chapter 851 by freeing Luffy from the prison and escaping together with them from Big Mom.


Why wasn't Naruto able to defeat the Deva path with a single punch?

Right from the start we can see that Yahiko was the main Pain used by Nagato.
This is shown when he destroys the village with a single attack, the ringed black orb jutsu... It draws all other Pain's power making them all faint.

Now, why didn't he just die with one punch? Other than it being a possibility of fillers, as mentioned by someone else... Since all other pains have been destroyed, this would allow Nagato to put all his remaining power within that single Pain, Naruto at that point wouldn't be able to kill Nagato with a single blow.


In the manga and Brotherhood, Pride does not have an Ouroboros tattoo. He instead has only a small circular mark on his true form's body.

Below is an image of said mark, but definitely contains spoilers for anyone not finished episode 37 of Brotherhood (and perhaps could be considered spoiler material for anyone who has finished episode 64).


In which countries was Dragonball Z aired (dubbed) before Dragonball?

A simple google search takes us to a result compiled by Derek Padula about the history of Dragon Ball Z in various countries. Countries in North America and others where the Funimation dub was aired first usually had Dragon Ball Z aired first.

http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30285

The list of countries is not exhaustive. However, I'd like to point out "Why most of the countries (western world, and to Japan that is nearly the rest of the world) Dragon ball Z aired first.

Anime was an experimental thing in most nations outside of Japan. Dragonball was an exceptional manga and its first Anime adaptation did well in Japan. Dragon Ball creator was not happy with the first adaptation though and had a reboot in form of Z when Goku grew up. This was even more popular.

  Kazuhiko Torishima, Akira Toriyama's editor for Dr. Slump and the first half of Dragon Ball, felt that the Dragon Ball anime's ratings were gradually declining because it had the same producer that worked on Dr. Slump. Torishima said this producer had this "cute and funny" image connected to Toriyama's work and was missing the more serious tone in the newer series, and therefore asked the studio to change the producer. Impressed with their work on Saint Seiya, he asked its director Kōzō Morishita and writer Takao Koyama to help "reboot" Dragon Ball, which coincided with Son Goku growing up. The new producer explained that ending the first anime and creating a new one would result in more promotional money, and the result was the start of Dragon Ball Z. Source - Dragon Ball Z (Wikipedia)

Western media channels decided to pick up Dragonball Z as an experimental thing. It started airing in 1996, but halted after some episodes. However, when it began airing on Cartoon Network's Toonami block, it got huge boost in the popularity. Due to the success of the reruns, FUNimation began its in house dub of DBZ.

It is reasonable to assume that, due to the success of DBZ, the media houses decided to cash in on all the positive reviews and started airing Dragon Ball as well. After the success of DBZ in North America other markets also started airing DBZ and then followed by Dragon Ball.


Guy cross-dress to frequent school and met father's last wish?

Well, then it must be Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru. The boy who cross-dresses to get into the all-girl's school is named Mizuho Miyanokouji.

From Wikipedia:

  Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru revolves around the main protagonist Mizuho Miyanokouji, a male high school student. After Mizuho's grandfather dies, his will is reviewed, which explains his desire to have his grandson transfer to Seio Girls' Academy, the same one his own mother attended and his ancestors founded. Abiding by the will, Mizuho cross-dresses to attend the school. The headmistress, the deputy head teacher (visual novel only), Mizuho's homeroom teacher Hisako Kajiura and Mariya Mikado initially know his secret; Sion Jujo and Ichiko Takashima also eventually find this out.

Mizuho's friend Mariya Mikado helps him cross dress:

  Mariya is Mizuho's cousin-german who grew up with him and therefore knows him very well. When it was decided that Mizuho would transfer to the all-girls school she also attends, she took it upon herself to transform him into a beautiful girl by the use of makeup, and she seemed to have a lot of fun dressing him up.

Has Ichigo's soul cutter existed before him?

This answer can only be explained with a big spoiler. Those who hasn't read Bleach till the latest chapter and wish not to be spoiled might better avoid reading this altogether.

Note: the way I understand it, there are 3 questions you asked.

The correlation between spiritual powers and Zanpakutou's size.
Zanpakutou existed even before the Shinigami.
Did Ichigo's Zanpakutou existed before him.

Answer to Question 1

A Shinigami's Zanpakutou's (soul cutter in English dub) size reflects the Shinigami's spiritual powers. The more spiritual power it unleashed, the bigger it becomes. This is generally true.

Example 1

Renji's Zanpakutou's normal shape is a normal Katana. When the released into Shikai form (Zabimaru), it unleash more spiritual power and its shape got bigger. It gets even bigger when Renji is in Bankai state (Hihio Zabimaru) and even his body is covered by his power in form of the furry cloak.

Example 2

Zaraki Kenpachi's Zanpakutou's normal form is a long katana with chipped blade. When released into shikai, his Zanpakutou changed form into a chopping axe shape.

Example 3

Madarame Ikkaku's Zanpakutou's normal form is a normal katana. It's shikai form (Houzukimaru) is a spear, it's bankai form (Ryuumon Houzukimaru) is a huge blades linked with chain.

Example 4

Soi Fon's Zanpakutou is a short katana. Shikai form changed it into a smaller shape, but it's bankai changed it into a big rocket launcher like thing. Notice how its shikai form is smaller that its normal form, unlike the previous two examples, which is why I said that Zanpakutou's size reflects the spiritual power is generall true. Also, so far she has never been see using her Zanpakutou in its normal, unreleased state.

Another exception to this is Kurosaki Ichigo. Kurosaki Ichigo's Zanpakutou is always in its shikai form. But its bankai form actually made the blade smaller, and denser, unlike bankai in general, which was noted by Kuchiki Byakuya during their fight. Byakuya also said that he don't believe that such a small sword (compared to Ichigo's shikai and bankai in general) can be his bankai.

Edit:
As mentioned by Ryan and Memor-X, Zanpakutou's size can be controlled. This was mentioned by Kurosaki Isshin to Grand Fisher, that if Zanpakutou's size is not controlled, those with huge Spiritual Power like the Captains, would literally have skyscrapers on their hands.

Answer to Question 2

Normally, a shinigami is given an Asauchi, a blank Zanpakutou created by the creator of Asauchi, Ouetsu Nimaiya. This blank Zanpakutou will develop along with its wielder and make itself unique. This is how Shinigami normally got their Zanpakutou. Therefore, since all Zanpakutou (with the exception of Zangetsu) was an Asauchi, it can be said that it existed generations before the current generation of Shinigami).

Answer to Question 3

Kurosaki Ichigo's Zanpakutou, Zangetsu, is special since Ichigo is a son of Shinigami and Quincy. His father, Kurosaki Isshin is a Shinigami and his mother was a Quincy. What he used to fight until his fight with Aizen Sousuke where he lost his "Shinigami" powers due to the use of Final Getsuga Tenshou, was later revealed to be his Quincy powers. It was confirmed by Zangetsu (old man form) himself. Zangetsu also said that the reason his figure is so similar to that of Ywach was because Ichigo also has a Quincy blood in him. His power is in his blood, thus it can be said that his Zanpakutou existed from the very moment he was born.

Would Sarada have to kill Boruto to obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan?

She wouldn't have to kill anyone herself, she just needs to go through a traumatic event like seeing someone close to her die e.g. Boruto, Sakura, Sasuke, ...

I'm not sure how Madara got his Mangekyou Sharingan, but he didn't kill his brother himself. Izuna gave his eyes to Madara on his deathbed to awaken the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

From the Wikia:

  It is initially awakened by the trauma suffered from witnessing the death of someone close to the user. Uchiha has historically misunderstood these criteria as the user needing to be responsible for the person's death, and for that reason, they developed the practice of killing their closest friends in order to gain the Mangekyō Sharingan.


Would it be possible to indirectly kill people?

This scenario is totally possible. As long the 2 main factors can be reached.

This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
The conditions for death will not be realized unless it is physically possible for that human or it is reasonably assumed to be carried out by that human.

So if he knows the real name, and can bring the face of the person to mind. And it is physically possible for that person to obtain a piece of death note and write in it. Then yes it is possible indeed.


Does Naruto consciously control his clones?

Does it move and think like a separate entity?

Yes, the clones are completely independent, apart from the fact that Naruto can undo any clone he wishes to.

This can be seen when they collaborate and the fact that they need to communicate in order to do so. Note that when Naruto creates them, they know what he knows so he can think of a plan, create the clones, and everybody knows their role in the plan without a need to discuss it—they are still independent.

  Can it think to try to kill the original?

Possibly. But seeing as they have a short life and have just been cloned, Naruto would have had to be thinking about that kind of thing himself already in order for a clone to really do that. And of course, since Naruto can undo a clone at will, it would mean that as soon as he senses a threat from a clone he can undo it.


Exactly when did Madara come back to life after his defeat by Hashirama?

Izanagi is a technique which is able to rewrite history. You take an event that wasn't favorable to you and make it into nothing more than a dream.

He set up Izanagi beforehand to be trigger a few hours after his death. Even though he was already dead, the technique still activated (Much like Itachi sealed his own Amaterasu into Sasuke's eye, and it activated even though Itachi already died).

Once Izanagi was activated, Madara's death was cancelled.


Why Tifa is conscious in The Last Order?

It is known that there are various account on what happened in Nibelheim. The scene where Sephiroth falls into the Mako stream in the reactor was different. In the original FFVII,

   Sephiroth stabbed Cloud, but Cloud overpowered Sephiroth, lifted the latter and throw him into the Mako stream below. In another adaptation (forget which one), Sephiroth gladly throw himself into the Mako stream.

This could possibly because the scene in the game was based on Cloud's memory, thus it might be a bit hazy. In other words, he might not remember it correctly (the game version of the story).

Quoting Wikipedia,

  Although the 77,777 copies of Advent Pieces: Limited that were released in Japan sold out months in advance of the official release date, Last Order received a negative fan response due to changes in content and presentation from the original Final Fantasy VII game, and because of this, the crew working on Crisis Core avoided recreating certain scenes from Last Order.

As for why Tifa doesn't remember that Cloud went to Nibleheim, in the game she was unconscious and the Soldier member that was dispatched to Nibelheim was Sephiroth

   and Zack. Cloud was a Shinra Trooper and he didn't take off his helmet, so Tifa was unable to recognize him.


Is merged Zamasu fully immortal in Dragon Ball Heroes?

In Dragon Ball Heroes episode 11 , Zamasu states to Jiren he's fully inmortal. (he always is going to be healed he says)


Is Tobias' Latios the same Latios as the one in the Pokémon Heroes movie?

Although they are called "legendary", these Pokémon are not necessarily unique in the anime (or in the games). A good example is Silver, which is a younger Lugia. Tobias most likely has a second Latios.


Which manga chapter correspond to the end of episode 12 of season 2 of the anime?

The Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of The Commandments episode 12 covers chapters 136, 137, 141, 142 and 143 (source: Wiki), so the end of episode 12 should be chapter 143.

In case you're asking because you want to continue reading the manga where the anime left off start from chapter 143, as part of it will be covered by episode 13, and read chapter 138 first for the same reason.

By the way you can find a chapter to episode comparison broken down by arcs here.


Why did Mavis lend Fairy Glitter magic to Cana?

Explaining further from my comment, Mavis gave Fairy Glitter to Cana twice, on Tenrou Island and on Daimatou Enbu, and both for different reason.

Tenrou Island Arc. Chapter 232 The One Thing I Couldn't Say

This is the first time Mavis gave Fairy Glitter for Cana, Cana first intention is to show her father, Gildart that she can become an S-Class Mage. She tricked Lucy and left her alone. At first, when she reached Mavis's grave, it was sealed and she couldn't touch the grave. But at the end she realized that she only want to protect her friends. So Mavis gave her Fairy Glitter because of her pure heart to protect her friends and the guild.

Grand Magic Tournament Arc. Chapter 285 MPF

This is the second time Mavis gave Fairy Glitter for Cana. As for the reason, it's less complicated than the first time, she did it so Fairy Tail could win the tournament, and show that Fairy Tail is back.


Why aren't most of the phones in anime smartphones?

Of the shows you cite, Haganai was animated in 2011; Black Rock Shooter was animated in 2012; and Oregairu was animated in 2013. The source material for each is even older (albeit kind of irrelevant for Black Rock Shooter). I omit Gintama because it's long-running and I don't know when your screencap is from.

Smartphone adoption in Japan is hugely up between 2013 and now, and even more so between 2011 and now. According to the CIAJ (as cited in a whitepaper titled "Japan’s Smartphone Surge and Its Impact on the Mobile Marketplace"), smartphone penetration in the Japanese market was a mere 9% in 2011, rising to 39% in 2013, and skyrocketing to 84% in 2016.

Is it any wonder, then, that anime set in "the present" that aren't from the past year or two would tend to have more non-smartphones ("feature phones", as they're called) than smartphones?

(I specify "the present" because we should exclude from discussion any shows set in the future. They tend to have fanciful notions of how telecommunications would work that don't tend to involve feature phones or what we would consider "smartphones".)

  Is it because the authors are just from an older generation than the fanbase? No way, right? They have to have smartphones.

This effect may exist - according to the Pew report "Smartphone Ownership and Internet Usage Continues to Climb in Emerging Economies", in 2015, Japanese people age 18-34 were about 2.5 times as likely to own a smartphone as Japanese people age 35+.

I doubt it is a substantial effect, though. Any animated production involves multiple people with creative input (not just the author of the source material), and I would imagine that at least some of them would know what kind of technology youngsters use.

  I don't think that's true (bad evidence alert).

Best Korea is proud of the way you confirm your priors.

  Why are flip phones still so popular, (if you can endeavor to answer) in both society and anime/manga?

The article @Maroon linked in the comments is a good overview of why smartphones were not common in Japan (prior to 2014 or so).

And why were smartphones not common in anime/manga? Because smartphones were not common in Japan. Simple as that.

Difference between edo tensei Madara with rinnegan and Alive Madara with Rinnegan

An Edo Tensei cannot be a jinchuuriki, and so, he couldn't complete his plan by becoming the Ten Tails' jinchuuriki. That is the main reason he wanted to be revived.

Also, although very powerful, the power of a "real" Rinnegan is far superior to one of the reanimated "fake" Rinnegan. The "real" Rinnegan can summon and control the Gedo Mazo, use the Rinbo: Hengoku technique etc.


The masks are a medium that utilises the power of Hell to call forth Ayakashi and they basically materialise Izanami's power in our world. The masks are created by Fujisaki Kouto, Yato's father. The are created using the power of the Yomi no Kotonoha (Words of Hell), which are used through paint brushes that utilise the power of Izanami. He currently possesses two brushes, his own and Ebisu's. The ability the brushes provide are of course masks summoning and the control over Ayakashi.

  Masks Summoning: An ability she obtains from using the Mandate of Hell (Phantom Brush). She is able to summon phantoms without chanting or affixing a mask, and without sustaining blight in the process, unlike Ebisu.


Does Koukin Shuuyu play a big main role in Ikkitousen?

No, he doesn't play much of a main character role, though he's important in the first series as someone who's there to help explain what's going on to the audience. The series/franchise focuses mainly on Hakufu Sonsaku, his cousin. Although he's listed as a main character in most of the shows from the franchise, so are a lot of the other fighters from the school, who don't always appear in every episode.

For example, in Ikkitousen: Xtreme Xecutor, it seems Shuuyu is listed as a main character but I can't remember seeing him at all in the series, if only in passing.

As for the franchise itself, and this is purely opinion, I've heard that the Battle Vixens manga that the show was adapted from is superior to the various anime. While it is in the ecchi genre, there's a lot of focus on the fighting (and clothes magically getting ripped to shreds during fights), and while very liberally taken, the background link to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is mildly compelling.


Why weren't CP9 at the battle in Marineford Arc?

The reason is simple: they are no longer under the World Government, and have been declared as fugitives. The side story CP9's Independent Report covers what the CP9 members did after the Enies Lobby arc. This side story was carried as a mini-series on cover pages of One Piece manga chapters 491 to 528.

Bruno used his Air Door to save the CP9 members from the Buster Call. On returning to the destroyed island after the Marine attack, Bruno and Jabra notice the Government forces are looking for them. Suspecting that Spandam plans to capture them, they flee the island to St. Poplar.

Rob Lucci sustained severe injuries in the fight against Luffy, so the other CP9 members work in St. Poplar to pay for his treatment. After Lucci's treatment, they defeat the Candy Pirates who attacked St. Poplar, and return to their hometown.

In the meantime, Spandam presumably blamed them for the Enies Lobby debacle and got them declared as fugitives. He sent Marine pursuers, led by Captain Very Good, to capture them. CP9 defeat the pursuers and set sail to high seas, after Rob Lucci tells Spandam over a Den Den Mushi that they would return.


Will Philly the Kid die when he'll have no more skin to be tattooed?

I don’t think his curse is based off of how much skin he has left to be tattooed, I don’t have a great reason as to why, outside of the fact that he doesn’t really seem to care that his death count nearly doubled in the events of season 1. I know that Philly usually is pretty rash and irresponsible, but I doubt he wouldn’t at least bat an eye if he thought there was a chance he could permanently die soon.

Since it looks like he’s been aging since he first got his immortality, I’d say his best bet at death is dying of old age.


How much of a Devil Fruit must be consumed to gain the power?

It is not necessary to eat the entire fruit. A single bite is enough for the consumer to obtain the power. Oda addressed this in Volume 77's SBS corner.

Source: https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_77

During the CP9 arc, Jabra also states that "one bite will leave you with a lifetime of problems", when warning Kalifa and Kaku about Devil Fruits.

If two people split the fruit and share it, the person who takes the first bite will obtain the power. This was illustrated with Ace's story on how he got the Flame-Flame Fruit.


Did the League of Villains kill Kai Chisaki?

While his current state is "unknown", we can assume that the League of Villians did not kill Kai Chisaki.

  In Chapter 160 of the VIZ translations, Overhaul himself, asked Tomura if he (Tomura) was going to kill him (Overhaul), to which Tomura replied no, and that he thought up of something 'worse'.

Regarding that orb you mentioned, Atsuhiro was holding it over Overhaul but he did not compress him, he just compressed part of Overhaul's arm, severing it as seen below.

Later on, we see Tomura saying to Overhaul to 'sit back and have a nice life' after severing his other arm, and robbing him of his quirk, which Chisaki relied heavily on. Overhauls expression showed fear at the thought of spending his life with no Quirk, which as the wiki noted, is ironic, since he spent his life eradicating Quirks from people.

Finally, the first panel of the last page of chapter 160, shows something already burning in the background but on the second panel, we still see Overhaul alive with no hint of him being burned, with the same expression of fear as seen in the previous page. This confirms the fact that Tomura wanted Overhaul to suffer first, in revenge for everything he had done against the League of Villains.


When was the 23 day rule in Death Note revealed?

It was revealed because of Misa in chapter 48. Higuchi promised to stop killing criminals, so he could marry Misa, the second killer and he did. But because he had written down lots of criminals already, the deaths kept on continuing for 23 days until they stopped. From this they could deduce the killings could only be manipulated until 23 days in the future.


Why do the names of the Sankakusu sites match the surnames of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto?

Only Tenouzu (天王洲) appears to be based on a real place, Tennouzu Isle (天王洲アイル), officially called Tennoz Isle in English). It was reclaimed from Tokyo Bay in the 1920's and 30's and then redeveloped in the early 1990's. The other places appear to be derived from the other outer senshi's names by extension.

Both Sailor Uranus's (セーラーウラヌス) name and her alternate identity's family name, Tenou (天王), are taken from the planet Uranus, which in Japanese is called Tenousei (天王星). Similarly the names of the other two outer senshi are also taken from the names of planets, Neptune (kaiousei, 海王星) and Pluto (meiousei, 冥王星).

The name of reclaimed island and the Japanese name of the planet Uransus  being similar seems to be a coincidence. The planet name, tenousei, literally means sky god star, referring to the Greek god Uranus's role as god of the sky. Tennouzu Isle is named after the Shinto/Buddhist god of disease Gozu Tennou.

I doubt there's any in universe explanation of why these sites happen to have similar names as the three new sailor senshi, just as there isn't any explanation on how all of the senshi's family names coincidentally reflected the sailor senshi identities that most of them would only acquire later. I think its simply a case of taking a real world place name that happened to be similar and extending it, only implying some sort of connection. For example, while Sailor Moon's family name Tsukino (月野, literally "moon field"), suggests a mystical connection to her role as Sailor Moon and her being a reincarnation of a moon princess, it's really just a pun. Her full name in Japanese is pronounced "tsukino usagi" which could also interpreted as "tsuki-no usagi". That translates to "Moon Rabbit", the Eastern equivalent to what we in the West call the "Man in the Moon".

Here's a screenshot of the map shown of the "Sankakusu Delta" in episode 28 of Sailor Moon Crystal and scan of the same scene from the Sailor Moon manga. If you compare that to what Tennouzu Isle looks like on Google Maps, you'll see that they placed the fictional Sankakusu and it's Tenohzu, Kaiohzu and Meiohzu districts smack dab in the middle of the real Tennouzu Isle.


After doing a little bit if research, I came to the conclusion that Dr. Cid never entered Giruvegan; he merely only discovered it.
There is not much knowledge to Cid's history prior to the events in Final Fantasy XII, but Cidolfus Demen Bunansa sheds some light on his past

Not much is known about Cid's life before the events of Final Fantasy XII. He fathered three sons, one named Ffamran mied Bunansa, but his other two sons and wife are never seen or mentioned in the game.
Six years prior to the start of Final Fantasy XII, Dr. Cid traveled to the Jagd Difohr on an expedition into the Mist-covered waste. It is not known whether it was a primarily exploration-driven mission, or whether he already had some idea of what he was looking for and what he would find there. Either way, he stumbled upon the Giruvegan, where he met the rogue Occuria Venat, and discovered the nature of the stone of the gods, nethicite. Venat took Cid as their pupil and taught him how to synthesize artificial nethicite, which came to be known as manufacted nethicite.

Why didn't the the Occuria try to stop Cid and Venat from leaving? The Occuria abandoned Giruvegan centeries prior to the events that take place. For that reason, they were not present to stop Cid and Venant from joining forces.

Once the center of Ivalice centuries ago, Giruvegan was ruled by the immortal Occuria. For reasons known only to them, the Occuria closed the gates to the city and let it fall into ruin. As such, not much is known about the once great city. Now, a dense Mist covers the city, and monsters wander its many corridors.

Seeing how the Occuria abandoned Giruvegan, that brings into question why Venant was there in the first place. Venat did not agree with the Occurian's points of view and believed all races should be able to write their own history.

At some point in the intervening time, one of the Occuria went rogue, disagreeing with the Occurian philosophy. Venat felt all races should have control over their own history and concocted a plan to create nethicite that was not under the control of the other Occuria, manufacted nethicite. Venat accomplished this with the aid of Dr. Cid of Archadia, with the Emperor's son Vayne Carudas Solidor aiding them by setting up the Empire's war against Rozarria and taking the shards cut by Raithwall from the locations they conquered. Enraged at Venat's heresy, Gerun and the other Occuria decide to bring forth a new Dynast King to destroy Archadia and restore the status quo they had created.


Why does Alluka only have the strength of a normal child?

You are correct in that, until Alluka evidenced dangerous powers, there is no clear reason why Alluka would not have received any Zoldyck assassin training from a very young age.  However, a statement that Alluka has the physical strength of a normal child does not tell us whether or not Alluka received any special training prior to entering solitary confinement.

Killua's brother Milluki, who we do know has undergone the standard training, does not demonstrate having any special amount of physical strength (he easily tired of whipping Killua due to exertion in chapter 42 of volume 5). He also does not display any Nen abilities. It could well be that he only has the physical strength of an average overweight teenage boy his age and his assassin training was solely in areas other than physical prowess.

Killua's mother Kikyo, who has undergone the standard training, also does not show examples of physical strength. Physically, we only know that 1) she can run at high speeds and 2) she was able to hold Killua by the arm in order to try to keep him from leaving, but since she willingly decided to let him go, we do not know if she is necessarily physically stronger than him or not (i.e. if she had wanted to make him to stay, could she have kept him pinned there by physical force, or could he have wrested away on his own strength? [same chapter]).


What is the music that plays when Juzo sacrificed himself to save Itachi?

Can water created using water jutsu be drunk?

I would say yes.

As chakra is a special matter that can transcend body pains (in Naruto story of Kaguya and his two sons, the elder brother relieved the pain old man who tried to thug people in name of fake medicine), so possibly the water made would be pure enough to drink, although it's never been mentioned in the anime.

Another proof is that during the Fourth Shinobi War, the arc in which genin exams were conducted in the village of the hidden sand. One group had the ninjutsu to create healing water in order to cure some mosquitoes bite.

So in that way, I can deduce that the water would be drinkable.


How does Father prevent the use of alchemy in Fullmetal Alchemist?

Scar draws a picture in one episode. Imagine philosophers stones Father had seeded all over the place as sort of inactive circle (Or open door.)
You can walk into the circle, you can draw on that circle, you can dig into the circle. It is not active. You can use the energy from below the circle. Less than you normally would, but you can do it. Only after Father activates the circle, the flow stops.

Imagine open submarine door. Fishes swim in, fishes swim out (fishes are alchemists here). They have to pass through the doorway into the interior and there is not as much water inside the submarine as in the sea, but fishes can still swim and they can continue to lead their lives. Those hatched in the submarine which never left it don't even know it can be done the other way. People from Xing noticed that something is wrong (they are humans that swam into submarine from the sea) but they can't do anything about it.

One day, the door of the submarine closes and pumps start pumping the water out. In a few moments, the interior of the submarine is completely dry. What happened? Father activated his circle made from philosophers stones and cut access to alchemy to all alchemists. The fishes can't breathe! They can't live! But people of Xing and Hohenheim can, because they know the way to breathe air, not water. They have lungs, not gills.


Would Naruto awaken the Rinnegan if he takes the Sharingan from Sasuke?

Let's start with the requirements for awakening the Rinnegan. From the Naruto Wikia,

  the Sharingan can be evolved into Rinnegan through combination with Hashirama's DNA.

In the history of the Naruto anime, the only 2 people who have been able to pull such a feat are Madara and Sasuke.  What those 2 have in common is the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan which they awakened from taking their brothers Mangekyous.

Obito on the other hand had a normal Mangekyou Sharingan and that explains why he was unable to evolve his sharingan to the Rinnegan despite having both bloodlines.

So my deduction is: the highest point of the Sharingan (aka the Eternal Mangekyou) plus Hashirama's cell/chakra (or Otsutsuki bloodline which can be gotten from mixing both Senju and Uchiha genes) = The Rinnegan.

Now to the question, in my opinion, if Naruto took Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and implanted them into his eyes, then he would manifest the Rinnegan. This is because he would meet the requirement for the evolution, which are:

Eternal Mangekyou sharingan
Otsutsuki bloodline (or a mixture of both Senju and Uchiha chakra).

But then again let's be realistic, Naruto would never do that.


Who are the three Homunculi that are with Irisviel and Saber?

This only partially answers the question. However, in both of their Wikia pages, under Appearance it states that Leysritt and Sella are in fact 2 years old.

  Despite her appearance, she is only about two years old.

Sources: Leysritt/Sella - Appearance *exact same wording on both pages

Given there is no mention on either of their pages, of them being in Fate/Zero I would assume this would be referring to their appearance in Fate/Stay Night which would make it impossible for them to have appeared in Fate/Zero which is set 10 years prior to Fate/Stay Night.


Is King's luck natural or does he have some sort of "luck superpower"?

When Saitama first confronts King in King's apartment, King's internal monologue includes a line to the effect that he just seems to attract monsters.  In the anime, at least, Saitama also specifically remarks that monsters just seem to show up on King when the Giant Bird crashes the party.  King, at least, considers this extraordinarily unlucky.

King is otherwise someone whose reputation precedes him to a comical degree.

   The King Engine is really just his heart beating so hard and so loud from being scared that people can hear it.  But people believe that it's the sound of his rage, or of his powering up, or something of that effect, so that when opponents hear it it scares them, and when bystanders hear it it excites them (because maybe they're going to see a dumb monster actually try to stand up to King and get obliterated).

Virtually anything King says or does gets interpreted through the lens of "this is an incredibly powerful and badass man".

Several examples come to mind.  For one:

   After spending a night gaming and being a mess from not cleaning up first and having spilled stuff on himself, King arrives at an early meeting concerning the Monster Association.  The HQ staff assumes the "up all night" part means he's been battling all night, and that he is covered with the fluids of his enemies (rather than his slushy).  Sweet Mask is impressed with King's dedication and stamina, recognizing him as a true and proper hero, and backs off a bit from his confrontational attitude with the HQ now that he knows someone like King is involved.

Recently in the anime you could see him playing a video game, and when called by the Hero Association to deal with the sudden uprising of monsters, tells them he can't because he's fighting something else right now, and has to go deal with the secret boss.  They assume he's actually fighting an actual, real-world threat.  One that surpasses what they're already trying to deal with.

Another:

   (webcomic) During the Monster Association arc, King is escorting the kidnapped child best as he can out of the tunnels, when Tatsumaki rips up the entire base and brings it above ground.  King panics and hides with the kid as soon as this starts.  While the other S-classes complain about her reckless move and how it endangered them, Tatsumaki insults them and praises King as the only one of the S-class smart enough and skilled enough to take care of himself, the child, and deal with her move all at once, like a proper hero should.

And:

   (webcomic) Atomic Samurai requests that King show him his sword swing, as such a thing will reveal to him a great deal about the one who swings the sword.  King says that he has no training with the sword, but Atomic Samurai insists it will still be a meaningful insight.  An apple is placed on the ground, and King kneels with the sheathed sword in his hands, prepared to draw it.  And he stays exactly that way for like 15 minutes, stricken immobile by a panic attack over how now Atomic Samurai will know he's a fake, swing or no swing.  He then puts the sword down, stands up, and silently walks away without looking back.  Atomic Samurai shits bricks, thinking that King's sword slice was so fast and so sublime that not only did he not see it, but that the apple "never even knew it was cut".  He praises him for doing the diplomatic and honorable thing by quietly walking away, and with admiration calls King a true monster for managing such a feat, which was beyond even his imagination and skill, despite having "no training".

Even Saitama originally just assumes that King is very strong based on his reputation, and that whatever he is doing is because of that.  He wonders if King bailed on the fight with that cyborg because it was boring to him; Saitama seemed kind of hopeful he'd found someone who shared his ennui from having amazing power.  Saitama, however, is the only one that King has both confessed the truth to, and who has believed King about it.

   (webcomic) Recently, King tried to gain real strength by seeking martial arts training.  He tells Bang that he's not strong at all, and that Bang, being the wise old master that he is, surely saw through that long ago.  Bang doesn't believe him at all, and thinks if he's going to train someone it shouldn't be someone strong (like King) but a normal person. Bang feels encouraged that even someone as strong as King still feels he can improve and has the humility to see weakness in himself.  Every other dojo he goes to responds similarly, regardless of King's protestations of his actual weakness, thinking their style is too peaceful for King, or not nearly advanced enough for King, or that he was spoiling for a fight, etc.

While King does have a certain measure of luck (though at times it is a curse), he does seem to have developed certain skills to exploit this reputation.  He knows he's intimidating to others and uses that whenever possible to get out of bad situations.  He's gotten rather good at bluffing, as well, which is assisted by the fact that his reputation is so powerful that enemies will construe any (cowardly) actions he takes as the traps and feints of a supreme tactician.  Including simply running away.  Nothing has formally stated that King has any supernatural origins to his luck, so as-is it is just ordinary serendipity coupled with a bit of developed skill in bluffing.


Any animation that is not made by a Japanese production company is not anime, according to the English definition of the term.

To Japanese people in Japanese, the Japanese words 「アニメーション」 and 「アニメ」(animeeshon, shortened to anime) are used to describe any animation, whether made in Japan or made in other countries, such as Disney.

It is important to distinguish between the Japanese word used by Japanese in Japan to describe all animation from all countries, as compared to the English word which is distinct from that in meaning.  The English word only refers to animation that is made by a Japanese production company.  It includes many series which were almost entirely animated in Korea by Koreans, but done so for a Japanese production company. Look in the credits list at the end of many anime TV series and you will see many Korea names; since the company is Japanese, it counts as anime, even if the animating work was largely accomplished by non-Japanese people. If the exact same Korean animators created an animated series produced by a Korean company, it would not be anime according to the English definition of the word.

Korean comics are called manhwa. There are a handful of American publishers that might market a graphic novel to you as "manga made in America," but that is actually an oxymoron. The English word "manga" only refers to comics produced by Japanese publishing companies. Japanese people do not usually use the Japanese word 「漫画」 (manga) to refer to comics from other countries; instead they say 「コミックス」 (komikkusu). Again, you could be a non-Japanese living in Japan and having your comic published in a Japanese manga magazine, and it would be real manga, because of the company, regardless of your own ethnicity. But if you are ethnically-Japanese publishing your comic outside of Japan, it is not manga.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that neither the English word nor the Japanese word contain anything related to art style.  This is also true of words such as shounen, shoujo, seinen, josei, and so on: within each, there is a wide variety of art styles. For example, compare the art style of Kaitou St. Tail to NANA, to Kiko-chan Smile, to Ace wo Nerae, to Zetsuai 1989.  They are all shoujo, but they do not look alike, and there are respective shounen series that look more like one of them than the other.

Shounen, shoujo, seinen, and josei are words that can only be used to refer to sub-genres within Japanese comics and animation; they cannot be applied to animation produced in America or any other countries. Rather than genres proper, they are simply technical groupings of marketing targets: was this series targeted at young adult women, or not? You can promptly tell which type it is by which area of the Japanese bookstore the manga is  in.

According to Energetic Heartbeats,

  What is Shoujo?
  Shoujo (girls') is not a genre itself - it's the marketing strategy. Shoujo simply means that the title was originally marketed to a female audience in Japan. Nothing more than that.
  Shoujo includes its own genres that cannot be found in their original form within the shounen world, including mahou shoujo, shounen ai, yaoi, yuri, and others.
  Shoujo is not limited to only anime and manga. The word is also used for audio dramas and novels. . . . Pretty much any film genre you can think of has been represented in shoujo.

  What is Not Shoujo?
  Shoujo is NOT a type of art style, nor a type of story element. It is not even neccessarily work by a specific creator. For example, the beloved team CLAMP is responsible for outstanding examples of shoujo manga and anime, but has also created shounen manga. What's the difference between the shounen manga and the shoujo manga? The shounen series was serialized in a manga magazine aimed at male readers.


Why it is called 91 days if there were only 12?

The 90 days signify the days left until the opening of the Opera House, which was mentioned in the wedding episode 2 by Frate, who tells them that Don Gallasia decided to attend the opening show. The 91 days refers to the time in which his revenge takes place since arriving.


What anime is this girl with pink hair on a key chain from?

Where can I find a list of recipes (and their directions) that were used in Shokugeki no Soma?

As Krazer said, the recipes can be found on the Japanese tankobon versions as extras. The English version, however, also have the same recipes. At the time of this writing, 6 volumes have been released in English and this Imgur album contains the English version of the recipes up to the 6th volume. It doesn't contain all of the recipes, as you guessed yourself, but it contains most of the meals that the main cast cooked.

You can also find partial recipes in the Shokugeki no Soma wiki by looking up the names of the food. They usually only contain the ingredients and not step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the food.


What is the relationship between Odin, Seifer and the Kanji that appears?

The kanji that appears when Odin uses his special attack is 斬鉄剣 (Zantetsuken).

However, when Seifer kills Odin, it shows 斬鉄剣返し (Zantetsuken-gaeshi) which literally means "Zantetsuken Reversal". -(k/g)aeshi is a common suffix to mean "reversal/counter", especially in martial arts like Judo (e.g. Tsubame-gaeshi).


Did Hit grow weaker or did Super Saiyan Blue Goku get way stronger?

There's a comment misinterpretation made by a lot of people with regard to Hit in terms of power. While Hit is a very strong character and in terms of raw power is only second to Kefla in Universe 6, at the same time, Hit does not have the same level of raw power and toughness displayed by characters like SSJB Goku, SSJB Vegeta, Golden Freiza, and Base Toppo (Note: Jiren is way too strong to be compared to Hit). At the same time, Hit is considered to be a Legendary Assasin who is 1000's of years old and also an experienced Martial artist.Unlike the previous series, Dragon Ball Super has laid emphasis on other factors such as strategy and technique, rather than pure power. One good example for the same is in ROF arc where Golden Freiza has the upper-hand in terms of Raw power but ends up losing to Goku on account of his strategy where he managed to tire Freiza.If you watch the fight between Hit and SSJB Vegeta, Hit clearly overwhelms SSJB Vegeta without even fighting seriously. Base Goku on the other hand, catches Hit off guard and lands a few blows on him and forces him to fight seriously. This obviously doesn't imply Base Goku is stronger than SSJB Vegeta. Goku managed to figure out Hit's timeskip and counter itWhen SSJB Goku began to overwhelm Hit and he powered up, Goku stated that Hit's attacks hadn't become stronger. However, Hit managed to increase the speed of his time skip and made it impossible for Goku to counter.Goku Hence required to use SSJB + Kaioken * 10 to outspeed Hit and knock him out. Before Goku uses his final blow on Hit, Hit stated that he managed to increase the speed of his timeskip again and evade Goku's attack. Hit never really used a powerful attack of his own or took the attack head on and Got back up, like Jiren, Goku, Vegeta, Toppo and Freiza.A part of your questions asks whether Hit got weaker. This is a definite no. We know this as Goku himself stated that Hit was a lot stronger compared to the Hit in the Universe 6 vs 7. This was because he was free to use his assassination techniques which he couldn't use in the Universe 6 vs 7 tournament on account of the rules. In this match, you can see Goku barely lands any attacks on Hit as he mainly uses stealth throughout the course of the fight and hides in a different dimension spawning clones and was landing on heavy blows on Goku(He even landed a punch on Goku which more or less Killed him). Goku on the other hand, managed to end the match as a stalemate landing 1 power Kamehameha by breaking through Hits personal dimension. This shows Goku's raw power being superior to Hit.Even in the tournament of power, when Dyspo managed to counter Hit and land blows on him, Hit was heavily injured. At the same time, Dyspo's punches barely did anything to Goku and even Freiza was barely damaged by Dyspo(Dyspo managed to overwhelm Freiza only because of his speed, not superior in terms of raw power).Hit was completely down after taking a single eye attack from Jiren while Goku had no visible damage and managed to get back up easily and fire a Spirit Bomb at Jiren.Goku did get a lot stronger after the Goku Black arc but no way to conclude whether he got 10 times stronger since power levels do not exist anymore. However, Hit in terms of Raw Power isn't significantly strong. Even Gohan at full power and Android 17 would be able to fight Hit(Solely in terms of Raw Power), based on their performances in the tournament of power. As far as technique and experience goes, Hit is on a whole another level and even the more experienced fighters like Goku and Vegeta would have trouble against Hits special techniques forcing them to use Raw power with a strategy to try to overwhelm Hit(Another good example of the same is where an exhausted Base Goku begins to overwhelm Super Saiyan 2 Caulifla on account of having more experience and being a better Martial Artist).


Why does all of Grisaia anime series have a weird video format?

According to a Gigazine article that reported on a 2 May 2015 panel at Machi Asobi featuring some of the Grisaia staff, it seems that Tensho (the director) just really wanted to do an anime fully in a cinematic aspect ratio (2.35:1 / 21:9 / Cinemascope) and refused to compromise on this point. Tensho does not appear to have elaborated on his motivations, at least not at this particular panel. So, chalk it up to directorial whim, I guess?

Incidentally, according to a tweet by Tensho, Grisaia no Kajitsu was in fact the first television anime to be produced entirely in Cinemascope. Apparently, they had to place a special order for paper with that aspect ratio since they wanted to draw on paper that was genuinely the right size (rather than just taping over the top and bottom of standard 16:9 paper).

I should add: according to Anibin, Grisaia no Kajitsu was actually produced at a native width of 1920 pixels (equivalent to 1080p video), so its "true" resolution is roughly 1920x822, not 1280x544. This is still something of a rarity (I think with the exception of Kyoto Animation?), though we're seeing more shows pop up in full 1080p nowadays, e.g. Working!!!, airing now (in summer 2015).


Do Ghouls gain the kakuho they eat when they cannibalize?

There was no indication (at least in manga) that they do.

Kakuhou type is determined by its position in body. And even if ghoul eats flesh of another ghoul, it serves only as supply of RC cells. There is no logical way it would affect arrangement of kakuhou in ghoul body. Or add new one.

Regarding custom kagune - kagune form doesn't depend on kakuhou, only its core properties do. As mentioned by Eto, form of kagune is limited only by imagination of its owner.


Is there any connection between the Gundam series?

you have many gundam series with connections!
For example, Gundam 79, the first one, is in the same chronology line with Z, ZZ, stardust memory and others. this series are differents, but in the same line, in the same conflict (AEUG vs Zeon)

But, Gundam Wing, Seed, build Fighters...are differents.

You can follow this example:


How is it that a Sharingan can work when it's been transplanted?

Let's disregard the fact that eyes in Naruto are considered less difficult to work with than PnP displays. (Rin did it in a cave, without any medical supplies, in a couple of seconds, and it just worked)

Your eyes contain your DNA, so our (the Uchiha) eyes contain the already awakened Sharingan, it's written into the DNA.

It also has the genetic information allowing you to activate the techniques the eye holds (including Mangekyo).


A manga about a girl who works in a flower shop, lover has private beach house and gives her his earring

Could it be Kiss/Hug?

The girls works in a flower shop that belongs to the family. The scene you're describing resembles one of the last few chapters where he has to go to England for some work he does.

Synopsis

  Ryuu, a super-business-like transfer student from England with black hair and blue eyes just arrived! During the night of the Tanabata festival, Ryuu and Yukino became attracted to each other at first sight. He then declares, "You will be mine!" This brought confusion to Yukino, who has zero experience in love. But could she actually be falling in love?


What are the 2003 Wendy's Promotional Pokémon Toys?

This link seems to document all the toys and cards. There were 5 toys. These were a Pikachu keychain, Pikachu Clock, Charizard Treasure Box, Kecleon Keychain, and a Celebi compass (though the image has Torchic). Here's images of all five:

According to this site, the promotion began May 19th 2003, and very likely lasted 5 weeks. I haven't been able to find a more definitive confirmation of that.

Here's the promotional image used at the time to advertise the event (from the same link with the dates):

As for why the compass is called a Celebi compass, it really did have a Celebi design. The back of the case had a Celebi on it:

(image taken from this Ebay auction. Thanks to Krazer for finding it.)

It seems that you could put the Lugia, Torchic, and Kecleon trading cards from the promotion into it, and perhaps others. The above image has the back of the Lugia card. Here's a different version with the front of the Lugia card.

.

(taken from this Lugia collection)

The Pikachu clock could hold a card as well, though I don't think it really did anything with it the same way the compass worked with those cards, and the cards fit inside the Charizard box.

This site lists all the cards, with images for the front and back. They are:

1 Pikachu

2 Charizard

3 Mewtwo

4 Tyranitar

5 Lugia

6 Feraligatr

7 Gyarados

8 Kyogre

9 Latios & Latias

10 Torchic

11 Groudon

12 Mudkip

13 Duskull

14 Treecko

15 Kecleon


Why is "Shingeki no Kyojin" translated as "Attack on Titan"?

To answer your questions, one must note one important thing:

The original English "subtitle" for 進撃の巨人 ("Shingeki no Kyojin") is in fact "Attack on Titan." (See the volume one cover for reference.)

Semantically there is very little meaning that would connect the two titles, and is likely to be attributed to an error, on the part of the author or his editor/publicists.
The biggest notable change is the use of "titan" as a translation for "kyojin."
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, titan is defined as:

capitalized:  any of a family of giants in Greek mythology born of Uranus and Gaea and ruling the earth until overthrown by the Olympian gods

one that is gigantic in size or power: one that stands out for greatness of achievement

In terms of simplicity, titan might be an very good choice of words, but in terms of conveying the actual meaning, it falls a bit short.
"Kyojin" is a very simple word, consisting of two kanji which translate as "gigantic" and "human" or "person" respectively. Naturally a more correct translation of this word would be "giant", because it's simplest way in English that we can to refer people are like humans, but are significantly bigger.
"Attack" seems like a broad and simplistic choice of "attack" for "shingeki." both share similarities to one another, the semantic connotations are a bit different. "Shingeki" is a very specific term for akin to a (swift) military advance/charge on the enemy. Using "attack" oversimplifies this, and in combination with the preposition "on" and the noun "titan" (which can also refer to one of Saturn's moon by the same name), leads to an error in interpretation. Shingeki can also be used to refer to a vanguard rally/charge, much like what the Survey Corps are.
But let's take a deeper look at the title itself and see what we can get from it. It we directly translate and take it's meaning literally, the title would be something like "Advancing Giant." This doesn't work well as a title and probably isn't what I think the author intended on convey to his readers.
If we read the English titles as it is, "Attack on Titan," grammatically one would infer that "Titan" is some sort of location rather than a person or group. E.g., "Attack on Normandy." For this we have the preposition "on" to blame. Initiating an attack "on" usually implies that whatever "on" refers to is the thing being attacked, not doing the attacking. So the combination of "attack" and "on" as a passive proposition, implies in the act of inciting an act of aggression upon the following noun, "titan."
The Japanese particle "no" (in "Shingeki no Kyojin") is often seen translated as either the preposition "of" or the possessive (-'s), as a marker of possession.
In the case of the title, "kyojin" would be something possessed by "shingeki". Therefore we can assume that the giant is something that belongs to the advance/charge, in other words a giant pertains to a military advance/charge of a vanguard.
Now what does all this mean? Is it referring to the Titans as a whole or singling out on in particular? One can imply that the title is referring to Eren Jaeger, as he is the one and only giant who fights on the side of the humans, thus the giant who leads the way for their armies to finally make a dent in the enemy forces, representing hope for the humans. So something like "The Advancing/Charging Giant," or more appropriately something "The Giant of the Vanguard." Essentially referring to the giant that would lead people towards victory/salvation.
The original title was most likely intended to convey a great deal emotional value, especially when the circumstances involved in the story. However, this might not be as easily conveyed in English so they often to go with something short and to the point for the English subtitle (which is typically only there for the "cool" factor) and never intended to be used as the localized name.
For better SEO, sometimes localizers like to include the romanized Japanese name or w/e the "engrish" subtitle might be, like in the case of Oreimo, this way they can bring already associating links from the original source material to their localized version, without needing to break the bank with advertising.


What is the purpose of the prayer in Fire Force?

Great pressure is pressed on people if they feel they are killing people (or at least I think so). The Fire Force was set up to save people instead of killing, although they may be literally killing all the time.
In order to maintain a sense of justice and mercy, prayers are needed, not only to confort the family and relatives of the dead, but to ease the feeling of guilt of the firefighters.

Can a person kill another person even if that person does not possess the Death Note?

Yes you can kill someone with the Death Note, without actually possessing one.

That specific rule was probably referring to the Ray Penber accident. What they mean is that despite Ray Penber not possessing a Death Note himself, he could still manipulate his colleagues through the Death Note by filling in the names in the blanks.

The second rule should be read in combination with the first (see below), saying that the effects of the first part of the rule would not only take affect when the owner writes the names in the blanks, but also when some other person does so.

I think you might have been confused on the words "possessing a Death Note", which is more than just "holding a Death Note", I suppose.

VIII

  You may also write the cause and/or details of death prior to filling in the name of the individual. Be sure to insert the name in front of the written cause of death. You have about 19 days according to the human calendar in order to fill in a name.
  Even if you do not actually possess the Death Note, the effect will be the same if you can recognize the person and his/her name to place in the blank.

How Betelgeuse captured Subaru's body like in the ending of episode 23?

In episode 23 at 11:40.

   When Julius was having a conversation with Subaru, he said that Subaru might have an affinity for spirits. Since Petelgeuse was a spirit himself, he could possess the fingers' body which had been cast spell on beforehand and even entities having affinity for spirits. According to Julius, Subaru definitely matches the case.


Why is Seigi's tattoo described as "triggerless"?

The manga refers to it as 無鍵 or "keyless." The anime uses the same term (see the Ep. 3 summary).

As for what these keys refer to,

    There are actually 4 Void Makers and they are the keys to the Tattoo Ruins. It seems that every Void Maker needs a host to become a "key." So apparently Seigi's Void Maker had no compatible host prior to him,  thus making it "keyless."

His trigger however seems to be blood.


That sounds a lot like Mahou Senshi Louie, released in the US as Rune Soldier. I haven't read or watched the series, but from the Wikipedia description:

There's a blonde priestess, Melissa.
A young thief, Merrill
A tall, dark-skinned warrior, Genie
The main character, Louie, is an idiot and a pervert.

From this picture, the cast seems to resemble your description:

The plot description on Wikipedia sounds just like your summary: the three girls are seeking a legendary warrior who turns out to be Louie, to their disappointment, since he's idiotic and perverted. Over the course of the series, they slowly come to respect him.

The manga was published by ADV Manga, which was in operation from 2003 to around 2010, so it's perfectly plausible that you bought it in 2009 or 2010.


When Tsunade told Naruto to not use the Rasenshuriken, couldn't he have just used a clone?

The Rasenshuriken was originally told to be off-limits due to the physical damage inflicted by its use.  Because Naruto used it like a traditional Rasengan, which requires that the jutsu make direct contact with the enemy, the damage done to his person couldn't be avoided.

The reason that a clone could not work in this scenario would be due to the fact that clones are dispelled once sufficiently high physical damage is inflicted to it.  It would be my belief that a clone could never sustain its form long enough to sustain a hit with the Rasenshuriken before it - and the jutsu - were dispelled.


Why did the hole in Kaiba's chest increase in size?

I can't say for sure, but IMO, the hole size probably varies depending on a Kaiba/Warp's mental state — the worse he feels, the wider it gets.


Naruto's own chakra color is blue, which contrasts with the Nine-Tails' own chakra color of red.

Interestingly though, despite Naruto using the Nine-Tails' chakra to create larger and larger Rasengan, the color remains the same.  This might be a plot hole; this may be indicative of Naruto himself performing the attack with a larger amount of chakra under his control.


How does transplanting different sets of Sharingan eyes work?

After quite some searching I came to the sad conclusion there is barely any information available on how the 2 eyes get fused. Then again we can make some educated guesses thanks to some of the shown footage in the anime.

In episode 136 Itachi shows Sasuke how Madara got his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan (EMS). Showing the following picture

With this image we can deduce that the old eyes are not removed from the body, meaning there are 2 pairs of eyes in the body from that moment on. The most plausible reason to pass would be that the 2 eyes fuse in a similar way as to an artificial limb getting attached to a body. This would also explain the reason for blood ties as your body might reject people who are not directly blood linked.

This would also answer your first point, as the eyes fuse it does not matter whether the begin point was the blind eye or the still functioning eye as they will become one after all

How do the eyes exactly fuse? and how do they put 2 pairs of eyes in a body to begin with? Guess this is a sort of anime magic which is not really uncommon in Naruto to begin with (small sample (careful contains spoilers if not up to date with manga)


What's the black warping liquid where the noumus appear from in season 3 episode 9?

That black warping liquid is a Quirk called Transmission!

From the wiki:

  Transmission is a stolen Quirk from an unknown person used by All For One

Also:

  This Quirk can produce a black liquid that acts as a portal, similar in nature to Kurogiri's Warp Gate. Also similar to Warp Gate, this black liquid can also teleport people by engulfing them whole.


How important is transmutation circle pattern?

Note that Al's alchemy tends to always revolve around the displacement of material. Comparatively, Mustang's alchemy revolves around chemistry (igniting materials)

Al may be using the same circle which allows him to use a form of "telepathy" (for lack of a better word) to piece things together.

From many instances of alchemy being used, you can see that the intent of the alchemist changes the effect of the transmutation.

Mustang's glove carries the same symbol, but Mustang has many fire transmutations up his sleeve.
Armstrong's glove is the same (for earth and metal related transmutations)

This is a recurring pattern for many alchemists. Their circle limits their alchemy to a specific realm (fire, earth, destruction, displacement, ...) but they use the same circle to perform many different transmutations within that realm.

Alchemy seems to be a combination of the circle (method of transmutation => Al's circle displaces material) and the alchemist's intent (how to apply that method => Al puzzles the thing together again).


Is Chapter 66 the last chapter of Rosario Vampire Season II manga?

Yes that is the ending of Rosario Vampire Season II. There are chapter 66.2 to 66.6 but the picture your showing is indeed the last one story wise.

The chances of more chapters to come is very unlikely aswell as stated on Funimation

  Rosario+Vampire season 2 bombed in Japan. Hard. It did so poorly it almost put GONZO out of business. Because of poor sales, there are no plans at this time for a third season. That's not to say it's entirely impossible, but the way things are going it is incredibly unlikely.

How does one become a vampire in the universe of Diabolik Lovers?

You have to have some part of a vampire in you, etc.

What happened at the end of Wasurenagumo?

The shopkeeper said it was over if he got caught in the web, which happened. You could see the blue glare under the guy's eyes, which means he wasn't himself anymore. He snapped out of it before because the girl got hurt, but after he got caught in the web again he was being controlled(?) again.So maybe the spider-girl is now manipulating Suzuri and he's thinking she is Mizuki


As for all the information that is currently available

  she finally enables her Bankai! Blood spills from the skies, as though it was rain, she enables it caller her Minazuki Bankai out! Zaraki notices all the blood that’s dropping! Unohana’s sword is straightened and changes into a sword with never-ending blood oozing from it. She mentions that the play is over!
  Both of them go crazy and quickly go on their attacks! They keep on clashing, Zaraki can feel that the sword Unohana currently has melts her, it starts to degrade his face from skin to flesh and to bone! He mentions that it’s fun! He notices his hands and cloths degrade away from his bony hands. He asks himself what that is, he mentions that everything seems to be different, at the same time, he sees Unohana with no face except bones!
  Zaraki mentions that everything is so different, he’s been asleep, he’s  just been dreaming about their contacts over and over again, he calls this exchange to have no name, but thanks to her, she now realizes that this can be called, Fighting! They keep on clashing swords and spilling blood! Unohana mentions that she likes fighting! Zaraki likes it so much that he can’t help it, Zaraki is back to seeing flesh and blood again. Source

It seems like a weird kind of bankai to me very Illusive


What did Hare want to give to Shu at the moment of her death?

I think she wanted to say: "Shu I give you my heart". After all she did entrust Shu with her void before, and she wanted to show that her heart belonged to him, because she loved him.


Could a swordsman with Haki cut up Buggy?

The Strengths and Weaknesses section of the wikia explains his power as follows:

  The fruit's major strength, as demonstrated by Buggy, is that the user becomes permanently immune to damage from being cut or pierced, regardless in what manner, be it vertical, horizontal, or otherwise. Instead of being wounded or even killed from such attacks, the user's body simply becomes sliced into pieces. In this state, the user is still alive and can control his sliced up body. They can then manipulate the sliced up pieces to either reattach themselves back together or execute unique attacks.

Haki enables physical attacks to connect with Logia users, whose bodies usually prevent the hit. In Buggy's case, even normal attacks do hit him, but the damage is never fatal.

It's a gray area until we get a proper confirmation from the author, but since  Buggy was unscathed when Mihawk was using his Black Blade (assumption being it always has a layer of Armament Haki on it, even if weaker than his max), it is reasonable to conclude that Armament Haki might not help.

That being said, there is also a corresponding list of weaknesses that would easily prevent him from being invincible. The simplest ones being seastone/sea water, immobilizing via a strong Conqueror's Haki attack, and any sort of elemental attack. Wano will be filled with swordsmen, but we have seen hints of a new class of attacks, such as Kin'emon 's use of fire with his sword attacks, and Brook's ice powers. These should deal enough damage to keep Buggy from being OP in Wano.


Why is anime produced faster than manga?

Mangas are usually written by one person, called the mangaka. The mangaka has to come up with creative ideas, original scenery, character expressions and dialogues while making sure that the story flow is coherent and planning ahead to pick up the story in the next chapter and see if he/she can take it from there. The mangaka first has to draw everything in frames of various sizes (some of which are very difficult to fill due to abnormal proportions [to create effects]), outlines everything and then fills in the ink. Sometimes the mangaka even has to come up with a color cover page/chapter.

Anime production houses employ many individuals who don't have to work around the clock all the time (shifts reduce workloads on individual employees). They already have most of the original artwork from the manga, and they simply have to digitize it and add vibrant colors (not that it isn't difficult). Most voice recordings are done prior to the final graphical rendering.
The mangaka is more likely to be pressurized when trying to meet the next week deadline than anime production houses, because a shortage of ideas is a disaster for the manga but easy to deal with in the anime (just adding a filler often makes it up, regardless of the quality of the content). This means that the mangaka prefers to spend a little more time on the story to think and draw more carefully.

The list goes on and on, but for the sake simplicity, I've decided to end it here. Just a side note that most mangakas work an average of about 18 hours a day (almost no days off), which can't really be characterized as lazy.


Did Walter become Millennium's servant by choice?

From the Hellsing Wiki:

  It is also currently unknown whether or not Walter's brainwashing by Millennium was consensual, or if he was brainwashed against his will.

However, on the same page, it is also stated that

  In chapter 75 of the Hellsing manga, Sir Hugh Irons, the acting leader
  of the Convention of Twelve, comes to the conclusion that Walter had
  in fact been betraying his superiors for quite some time, even before
  the second coming of Millennium and possibly even since the days of
  the World War II. He mentions that he foresaw Richard Hellsing's
  attempted coup of the Hellsing Organization and also Richard's
  assassination attempt on Integra, and had quite specifically warned
  Walter of it, charging him with protecting her; and yet, despite his
  warning, Walter was nowhere to be found on that day. Therefore it is
  suggested that Alucard's awakening was also orchestrated by Walter;
  his convenient absence left Integra with no other choice but to
  release Alucard, whom Arthur Hellsing (Integra's father) had
  purposefully sealed away, thinking him to be too dangerous to use as a
  weapon. Other bits of evidence suggesting that Walter is a traitor
  include the Valentine brothers' mysterious knowledge of the location
  of the Hellsing mansion, Walter's suspicious memory lapse when
  Millennium resurfaces (he does not seem to remember storming and
  destroying Millennium's base in World War II, but claims that he does
  after Alucard prods him), and the strange omission of the fight scene
  between Walter and his apparent rival, the Captain. It may be that,
  after seeing Alucard's abilities during World War II, Walter wished to
  destroy him to prove himself and thus allowed Alucard to awaken.

It's still shrouded in mystery, however, I think he wanted to battle against Alucard in a fair fight, more than "betray" Integra or Hellsing.

He may have been brainwashed and he may have not, but it was very clear that he wanted to beat Alucard in battle, and that the deal he made with Millennium was made to achieve that goal.


Does the truth that Naofumi did nothing to Myne ever come out?

According to Myne's wikia page, the truth does indeed come out, and she was punished for it. In Volume 4,

   The Queen exposed all of Malty's crimes, stripped her of royalty and, as an extra punishment, renamed her "Bitch" for her false rape claims, on Naofumi's suggestion. Alternative acceptable names by royal decree include "Whore" and "Slut".

This does not, however, change her in any way as it was also noted that she still harbors ill feelings towards Naofumi and considers everything that happened to her 'entirely his fault.'
