What's the reason DIO and Jotaro could fly in Stardust Crusaders?

They aren't flying, but rather a consecutive set of "Stand leaps" combined with The World's ability to stop time. This is basically when the stand uses its power to perform a very powerful jump by either jumping or punching walls and the floor. For example, in Jotaro's fight with Dio we see him punch a wall with Star Platinum to propel him in another direction.

The instance where The World and Star Platinum attack each other and both Stand users start to "fly", it is like lots of mini Stand leaps as they propel off each other. The 2 Stands punch each other so fast they begin to rise, because the forces acting on the other are equivalent to Stand leaps.


Is there anyone who got their psychic power through science?

Most psychic powers are created by science. Normally, an Esper doesn't have a special ability and only gains it by experiments, special drugs etc. See Power Curriculum Program for more information.

There are some (at the moment 4 known of which only 3 occur in the original works) people who have esper-abilities without being part of the Power Curriculum Program, called Gemstones. The only one that occurred in the anime yet is Himegami Aisa (appeared in Index Episode 7 (Deep Blood Arc)).

Touma himself has no psychic power, his power is of unknown source.

Thanks to Krazer for mentioning the Gemstones in the comments.


When Kyoko overloaded her soul gem to kill Sayaka's witch form, did Kyoko then also become a witch?

When Kyoko overloaded her soul gem to kill Sayaka's witch form, does Kyoko then also become a witch? Or since she overloaded her soul gem, does she just die "normally?"

Kyouko didn't become a witch, since she died in battle, rather than suffering a blackening of her Soul Gem.

  If the latter is true, then why don't all magical girls just overload their gems before they become completely tainted, that way they don't become witches?

Well, if they knew that they would become witches upon having their gems completely tainted, I'm sure many would opt to make sure they die "naturally" rather than risk becoming witches. This is exactly the "solution" Mami opts for in episode 10's timeline 3, where, shortly after seeing Sayaka turn into a witch, she kills Kyouko by destroying her Soul Gem, and is about to do the same to Homura.

But there's the whole problem. Nobody (among the cast) knows this until they see Sayaka turn into a witch in timeline 3, and Homura doesn't tell anybody about this in the main timeline, so everybody else (including Sayaka) lacks this knowledge in the main timeline, too. I'm sure they figure they'll just die when their Soul Gems turn completely black (which is, in fact, what happens once the Law of Cycles is in effect), which means they have no reason to opt to kill themselves beforehand.

And, keep in mind what we know about how magical girls generally operate (from the show, but moreso from The Different Story) - magical girls usually work solo. The large number of magical girls working together that we see in the show is highly unusual. Consider the outcome: this means that nobody ever finds out that magical girls turn into witches when their Soul Gems blacken - if a magical girl, alone by herself, turns into a witch, who notices? Who's going to survive to tell the next generation of magical girls about the dangers of blackening their Soul Gems?


Is there something like the Academy Awards for anime?

There are two I could find:

  Tokyo Anime Award:  The Tokyo Anime Award started from 2002, but was named in 2005. The
  first, second and third awards were only named simply
  'Competition'.1 The award ceremony was held at the Tokyo
  International Anime Fair (TAF) until 2013. In 2014, after the merger
  of Tokyo International Anime Fair with Anime Contents Expo and
  formation of AnimeJapan convention, Tokyo Anime Award started as a
  separate festival called Tokyo Anime Award Festival (TAAF).

As per @senshin's input: They do consider western animation as anime too for the Awards. Flutter was the winner of Open Entries/Competition Grand Prize in 2007 being the first non-asian entry*.

They also have a specific website on it: http://animefestival.jp/en

There is one more from America:

  American Anime Awards: The American Anime Awards were a series of awards designed to
  recognize excellence in the release of anime and manga in North
  America.

  The first and, as of 2015, only annual American Anime Awards balloting
  was supervised by Milton Griepp of industry website ICv2. The first
  gala awards presentation was hosted in New York City on February 24,
  2007 at New York Comic Con. The hosts of the evening were eight
  actresses from the anime production company ADV Films: Christine
  Auten, Shelley Calene-Black, Jessica Boone, Luci Christian, Alice
  Fulks, Hilary Haag, Taylor Hannah and Serena Varghese. A streaming
  version of the one hour awards ceremony can be seen on IGN.com. The
  awards were later broadcast on the Anime Network.

As per One Piece Wiki:

  Trafalgar Law sought out an alliance with Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates allegedly in order to dethrone Kaido. Luffy agreed to the alliance and even declared that he will defeat all four Yonko. Even though Law suggested that their chances of success are only 30%, Luffy remained undeterred. However, it is later revealed by Law himself that he only formed an alliance with Luffy because he wanted to use the Straw Hats to destroy the factory producing SMILEs to get Kaido angry at Doflamingo and not as a means to dethrone Kaido.

This was revealed in the last page of chapter 724:


Digimon is like Pokemon where Pokemon is short for Pocket Monsters, that said Digimon is short for Digital Monsters
this is visiable in most logos for Digimon

Also in the first episode of the 4Kids dub of Digimon Adventure when the Digi-destined come back together after finding their Digimon Partners the Digimon says in unision (after Bukamon jumps off Joe's shoulder)

Bukamon: we are.....
All: Digimon! Digital Monsters


The year is a little bit off but I think it's Hadashi no Gen

It's a manga series by Keiji Nakazawa. The series takes place in Hiroshima during the final months of World War II. The main character is a boy named Gen Nakaoka and his family live in poverty. It shows an atomic bomb attack in Hiroshima on first volume, where Gen's father and siblings perished in the fires, but Gen and his mother managed to escape.

  There's a scene where one boy (I believe he's the main character here) is fighting with his friends, and I think his friends are bullying him, and that boy bites the friend's finger off and eats it later

It's probably this, he ate the finger afterward.

As you can see, the art is not like most shounen manga around 2000. It's because this manga was serialized from 1973 to 1985. It was published at late '90s in my country so I guess there is a possibility that this is the manga you mentioned.


Why do Gargantians call Chamber "Yunboroid" or "Yunboro"?

The correct romanization is probably "Yumboroid." The word is probably a portmanteau of "yumbo" and "droid."

Yumbo was a French trademark name of excavators, now used in Japanese to refer to excavators in general (much like dumpsters in America, which was the trademark name for a mobile garbage bin).


How do Soul Gems get corrupted over time in Madoka Magica?

Soul Gems do indeed gradually darken over time, even if a magical girl doesn't do anything magical. I'd imagine this is because the gem still needs to magically sustain her body, or something like that. But they also darken for other reasons - the emotion of despair causes a Soul Gem to darken, and so does the use of magical powers.

In the 4th timeline, after defeating the Walpurgisnacht, Madoka had no reason to despair... but she did expend an enormous amount of energy to defeat the Walpurgisnacht in one shot. Apparently, that was enough to cause her Soul Gem to blacken completely, thus resulting in her becoming Kriemhild Gretchen.


Is there a complete physical archive of Weekly Shounen Jump (or Shounen Sunday or Shounen Magazine)?

At least, It should be in National Diet Library.

Under Japan's law, all publishers need to submit 1 copy of all of their books and magazines to that library.

Some people succeed to read Jump in there, but it's not a normal library. You may need pre-reservation and require security to enter, but you can search their item from their official website.


What sickness did the alliance chief have?

Kang-Sung took some "deadly" hits during his fight with Goomonryong.

He couldn't always use his reflection technique to counter the attacks, first example in chapt 142 by kicking him in the air.

After that he took a huge amount of hits, Goomonryong is strong enough to destroy a building so.. imagine the effect on a human :)

Imo the final hit chapt 143 is the one that caused the more damages.


Raye Penber's fiancée's part opens up a loophole in DeathNote

To L and the investigators, Naomi Misora is only missing

  Light writes down Naomi's name, resulting in her death by suicide. Her body is never found due to the specifications made by Light in the Death Note.

Source: Naomi Misora - Plot (Last Paragraph)

Given that Light specified that she would commit suicide and when L sees Naomi's photo they still don't know that Kira can kill besides a heart attack, there's no way to connect Naomi's disappearance to Kira.

If L was to take a leap of faith and pull out the CCTV footage showing Light with Naomi, what can they do then? Light had a legitimate reason for being at Police Headquarters (in fact it was by pure chance that Light ran into her there, it wasn't planned like with Raye) and if they questioned him, Light could just as easily said he noticed that she seemed depressed and tried to help her which would backup the suicide if they discovered her body.


Did Videl go Super Saiyan in Episode 9 of Dragon Ball Super?

Videl didn't go Super Saiyan. In order to become a Super Saiyan, you kind of need to be part of the Saiyan race.

In the movie Battle of the Gods, Videl joined the circle to pass energy to Goku to turn him into a Super Saiyan God since 5 Saiyans needed to pass their energy to a single Saiyan recipient. Videl joined because Pan is in her womb, and the latter is quarter-Saiyan.

Most likely Videl's hair is just showing off residual energy from Pan. Does this mean Pan will become a Super Saiyan this time? We don't know.

Though, largely, the reason I'm saying Videl didn't transform into a Super Saiyan is because she isn't a member of the Saiyan race, so even if she can, "Use" Pan's power as a Super Saiyan to fight at some point later in DBSuper (which, talk about dangerous things for mothers to do while pregnant lol), Videl still won't be a Super Saiyan. She'd be a human borrowing the power of one until that child is born.


What is the so-called "GUDAGUDA ship" involving Oda Nobunaga and Okita Souji?

Some time ago, there was this parody manga written by Keikenchi called Koha-Ace, featuring Kohaku from Tsukihime as an main character of sorts, along with several characters of the Nasuverse. Although it's a joke-series, it's still considered official, some of it's segments were part of the Carnival Phantasm animation.

One of the stories that ran in this manga was Fate/KOHA-ACE, an alternate Third Holy Grail War, where Oda Nobunaga (Demon Archer) and Okita Souji (Sakura Saber) were summoned.

After the mobile app based on the Nasuverse, Fate/Grand Order, was announced, Keikenchi was asked to author a short series to be released on the game's website some time before the game even released. It was supposed to be a showcase of the servants that would be available on the game, though it kind of degenerated into random shaenaenigans. The web series was titled Fate/GUDAGUDA Order, and the MCs of sorts were Nobunaga and Okita, and they ended up being shipped by the fandom. Eventually, they actually made it to the game during an event around 4-5 months after the game was released, which was called the GUDAGUDA Honnouji event.

You can legally read this manga on the F/GO (US) site here.


As seen in the anime (carefull this contains spoilers).

   Towards the ending shogun reveals that he actual is Takumi Nishijo His original. and the main protagonist was just a fantasy of him. In this part he also reveals that he has a rare disease which causes him to age when he uses his power (believe this information is given spread over episodes 10-12). They do not go into details about how he got this disease

With this the answer to your question would be No, Shogun was not artificialy aged.


Who was the lead animator for all the transformation sequences for Sailor Moon?

Different episodes of the anime were directed by different Animation Directors, even within one season. The animators themselves and the artists who paint the backgrounds would have been under orders from the Animation Director and the Storyboard Artists rather than having personal freedom to decide the style and effects. It may be that the Animation Director of the episode in which a transformation sequence was introduced was allowed to propose, give input on, or approve the Storyboard Artists' proposition of how it would look. Finally, even amongst the Key Frame Animators drawing the actual cels, it is not clear whether or not one person would have drawn all key frames for the whole sequence.  It is the responsibility of the Animation Director, Storyboard Artists, and Key Frame Animators to ensure that the character design and flow looks uniform despite the number of people drawing/painting various pieces of the final product.

Some of the sequences draw loosely upon the original manga illustrations by Takeuchi Naoko.


What would happen if Eren ate all of the other titans?

This is called the curse of Ymir. In Chapter 88, pages 22-23, we discover through Eren's memories that

  The very first and original titan, Ymir Fritz, had the power of all nine titans. Even though Ymir was in possession of all nine titan powers, she died 13 years after receiving this power. This death, and the consequent split into the nine separate titans, then imposed the 13-year rule wherein a titan-shifter could not physically withstand the shifting after 13 years. We see that as a titan-shifter gets closer to that 13-year limit, as in the case with the OWL in Chapter 88, they grow increasingly less capable of shifting as the process continually weakens their body. From here, it's up to interpretation of the page below.

The first interpretation is that

  Ymir's body could not withstand the power of titan shifting and died at or upon the thirteenth year.  When she died, however, her powers were passed down to 9 other Eldians. This suggests that she may not have known about the limit, or did not choose to select a successor, and allowed her death to distribute her power among the Eldians.

The second interpretation could be that

  Ymir died for a reason not yet revealed, and not because she couldn't withstand the power of all nine titans. If this is so, then she must have chosen to divide her power into nine titans for a reason that hasn't yet been revealed. Perhaps this was to limit the power any one titan-shifter could hold, a sort of checks-and-balances system if you will.

If we go by the first interpretation then likely

  it would not be possible for anyone, regardless of how many titan-shifting powers they obtained, to break the 13-year rule if the rule was imposed on the very first titan.

If we go by the second interpretation then

  it's likely there exists a way for Eren to break the 13-year rule at the expense of obtaining, through the process of consumption, all nine titan powers.


Child is a sequel, I haven't watched all episodes (yet) from the second season of Chaos, but by skipping Head you'd miss out on a lot information that happened during certain events. Those events and the way they happened as well as the thoughts behind them will definitely make Child easier to understand. And yes it is pretty boring the first few episodes but it is a nice complex plot-twist compared to your average anime.

I'm looking for a manga about a girl who can smell when people are sexually aroused

I'm pretty sure it's Para Paru :)

It is a shoujo manga about a girl who wakes up one day finding herself being able to smell certain scents from the people around her. She also hears a strange voice inside her head. Later with the help of a friend, she finds out that an alien got inside and is now living in her head, and it is the one responsible for giving her the enhanced ability of smell. The certain scents are explained and analysed to be associated to sexual arousal and physical attraction, as well as dishonesty and nervousness, etc.

There are other people in the same school who receive similar abilities in taste, touch and hearing. The manga is ongoing and touches on sensitive and mature matters such as rape and pregnancy.


Why Uchiha Itachi didn't make his Mangekyo Sharingan eternal?

There could be a couple reasons: Two plausible ones were mentioned by Makoto. As we all know, the Sharingan is a pair Dojutsu and so one would need 2 Mangekyou together in order to awaken the Eternal Mangekyou in both of their eyes. The other reason was also stated by Makoto, is because it has been mentioned that the 2 individuals must be related by blood and it makes sense since the only 2 people who have actually ever done this were Sasuke and Madara and they used the Mangekyou's of their siblings.

As for the reason why he did not use his father's Mangekyou, it could be because Itachi knew that he was dying and saw no point in achieving Eternal Mangekyou, just to die to an incurable sickness. He probably knew he wouldn't have enough time to reap the benefits of the Eternal Mangekyou. For more info on his sickness check out this thread; was it ever stated if Itachi was already dying?
The last reason is what I would call "an overwhelming level of Love mixed in with a strong guilty conscience". Itachi wiped out his entire clan to protect Konoha from the coup that the Uchiha were planning, but couldn't kill his brother because he loved him more than everything else. Itachi most definitely knew how terrible his acts were and right from that moment planned to make amends for it  by dying at the hands of his kid brother, who would try to avenge the entire clan. Itachi most likely also concluded that Sasuke would have had no chance against him if he had the Eternal Mangekyou, and therefore decided to really fight his younger brother later on after his eyes had deteriorated in such a manner that they would be close in strength and not a one sided battle.

So it was actually because of Sasuke! He knew he was dying and preferred to die at his brothers hand. By doing that, he used his death to make Sasuke stronger. In order to make the fight a bit fair, Itachi decided to let Sasuke have the upper hand (by fighting him while he was partially blind and sick).


Who/what is Gamers and what is their connection to the Love Live series?

Gamers is a hobby shop specializing in anime, manga, games and their related merchandises.

AKIHABARA GAMERS - Image courtesy of Japanese Wikipedia

Apparently, Gamers has appeared many times on Love Live! anime. According to NineColors.com (Japanese), a site that lists real-life places used in the anime:

Season 1, Episode 3 (different font/logo)

Season 1, Episode 6
Season 1, Episode 9 (the first episode with proper font/logo)

Season 1, Episode 13
Season 2, Episode 1
Season 2, Episode 3
Season 2, Episode 13

When comparing to other shops, only Gamers have its original name shown with proper logo while others were changed. This gives a big hint that it's a product placement deal.

However, Gamers itself has done some tie-ups/collaborations with Love Live! series itself. Some examples are bonus merchandise for Love Live! products (anime Blu-Ray, CD singles).

According to オタクの戯言's HatenaBlog (Japanese), there's also a special booth for "μ's Final Love Live!", displaying the outfit used on "SUNNY DAY SONG" performance and other things like visitors' comment, merchandises, all released singles and albums, and posters.

Moving to Love Live! Sunshine!!, there's Gamers Museum, displaying a comment board (separated into text only/with picture), Aquors scene in the anime, introduction to their songs, and casts' signature.

Last but not least are Love Live! Sunshine!! special pages on Gamers (Japanese) and Gamers onlineshop (Japanese) website.


First, lets take a simulated look of how the following image is viewed by different people:

Normal Color Vision

Red Blind (Protanopia)

Green-Blind (Deuteranopia)

Blue-Blind (Tritanopia)

Red-Weak (Protanomaly)

Green-Weak (Deuteranomaly)

Blue-Weak (Tritanomaly)

Monochromacy (Achromatopsia)

Blue Cone (Monochromacy)

Protanopia and Deuteranopia are the most common types of colorblindness.

As you see, the experiences of these color-blind viewers are not inhibited by their condition. Though a particular image or scene might not have as much of an impact on a normal user, they are still able to enjoy the other aspects of anime such as the writing and dialog, voice-acting, most importantly the animation.

There might not necessarily be anime for blind people, because anime is intended to be marketed to a wider audience, usually for recreational purposes.

Typically anime productions don't factor accessibility concerns of color blind viewers in the budget due to the extra costs required, since most of the profit from an anime production is from disc sales.

Color blind people usually rely on the settings on their computer (using a specific color profiles, "color blind" modes in games) or television (color adjustments on the TV) to adjust their visual experience.

Rarely does color play a major plot and history of an anime series, but if it does, the change is usually significant (e.g. Victorique's hair in Gosick), noticeable, and/or emphasized by the story and dialogue.

The color setting is only a small piece of the anime puzzle. Even without it, you might be missing small details, you'll still be able to get the big picture.


Actually even if the demons are created by Zeref's magic, they will not die as they are not magic objects but actual living beings. He created these living beings using his Living Magic (Seikatsu Mahou), thus breathing life into them which means they no longer need his magic to continue living. Thus, when all magic will disappear, they will continue to live and their curses won't be affected.


Is super saiyan blue supposed to be 50 times stronger than super saiyan god?

Well, at this time there has been no official statement from anyone who matters describing which form is more powerful. The only statement we have was from Akira Toriyama about a year before the blue form was even known about in which he states this:

  “Simply put, it’s because [the red hair] looks so strong,” said Toriyama. “The color yellow has already been used, and blue isn’t really that strong looking, so visually, red is easy to understand.”
  Source: kotaku

But according to the wiki:

  The form, due to the intense training and calm mind needed to acquire it, exceedingly surpasses its predecessor Super Saiyan God, and all of the other Saiyan forms. Despite the form's huge upgrade in power from the original Super Saiyan God, even after training with Whis neither Goku nor Vegeta could challenge Beerus alone.

In Battle of Gods, Whis said that Beerus used 70% of his power while fighting SSG Goku. If SSB was 50x stronger than SSG, it might be very likely that either SSB Goku or Vegeta could defeat Beerus alone given that the 70% thing.


In SAO the drops are assigned to the players who took part in the group with other players getting no knowledge of what dropped. There is also a bonus item for the person who gets the kill shot. I think this is also the case in other games based on the seed but that has not been brought up before.

https://swordartonline.fandom.com/wiki/Sword_Art_Online_Light_Novel_Volume_08#A_Murder_Case_in_the_Area

  Following the meal, the two began discussing ways of handling cases of rare drops in Sword Art Online, as the lack of logs tempted players to keep their drops a secret from their party members

I can't find the quote but in that series it is mentioned that the knights of the blood oath have a rule that who ever gets the drop gets to keep it.

Another point for this is that on the first floor boss at the end it is discussed that whoever gets the final blow gets a last attack bonus.

https://swordartonline.fandom.com/wiki/Illfang_the_Kobold_Lord

  Illfang the Kobold Lord was slain by Kirito, who gave the final blow to the boss, and received the last-attack bonus item


Which episode is this where Saber dress in white and bounded?

Saber wears - or more exactly is made to wear - those clothes in Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works episode 13, 14, 17 and 18. (Or season 2 episode 1, 2, 5 and 6, if you count the series as two seasons.)

The screenshot itself is from episode 13 (or S2 episode 1).

By the way she isn't being raped (not even in the visual novel). Caster just tortures her to make her lose her mind so she would want the pleasure by herself.


Manga Spoilers: Why didn't this character transform when injured?

Because he didn't want to.

Titan shifting must have three things to align, to transform completely and successfully.

They must be injured enough to draw blood. (Self harm works) Examples - Anne's Ring or Eren biting his Thumb
They must want to transform. A random injury doesn't always trigger a transformation. This would also be counter intuitive from a plot point of view. At some level a need for transformation must be there. (Example: Eren not wanting to die in the Titan's stomach inadvertently triggered his first transformation)
A Clear purpose and Goal for the transformation. Eren's first transformation was triggered by his goal to kill all the titans. Meanwhile he failed to transform initially because he didn't want to fight Annie.

Only when these all combine is a Shifter able to transform.

Sources: Anime. I've kept all examples to the first Season of Anime. There are a lot more Manga sources as well.


Why does Ed not pursue the origin of the fake Philosopher's stone used by Cornello?

I'm getting all of the following information from episode 3 of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.

Near the end of the episode, Ed exposed Cornello as a liar to all his people.  Cornello attempts to kill Ed using his alchemy.  During the attempt, Cornello's alchemy "rebounds" and causes some ... adverse effects on Cornello.  After a short fight, Cornello's fake stone breaks.  Ed starts asking about it and Cornello states he knows nothing about it.

Given all that, I don't believe Ed didn't think it wasn't important, but that he had nowhere to go with that.  First, the stone was gone and couldn't help Ed learn anything.  Cornello was equally useless in learning about the stone.

On top of that, a real stone would have allowed Cornello or Ed to do whatever they wanted, presumably without any rebounding.  This made the fake stone even less desirable for two reasons.  First, there is no guarantee that it could even help Ed and Al (granted there was a chance, but it may not have been worth the time to look into).  Secondly, even if Ed did get his hands on a fake stone, there was no telling if it would rebound and just make matters worse.

Overall, it's not that it wasn't important, just that Ed had no leads on where or how to get a fake stone and that the risk might not have been worth it.


Who is the idol Yuna in Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale?

According to an interview made to the movie staff:

Miki: On a related note, about Black Yuna and White Yuna being separate beings……
Itou: Surprisingly, that didn't go through well.
Miki: The Black and White Yuna. Both of them are separate existences. The White Yuna was that white ghost who made her request to Kirito by pointing with her finger. The Black Yuna is an AR idol diva.
Itou: Until midway through through the movie, you'd expect them to be the same being, but they're actually separate…… everything was explained by Shigemura in the climax.
Miki: The Black Yuna is an AI crawler with limited emotions meant solely to drawn in players to 《OS》. Singing was her only purpose. The White Yuna was an existence born with the activation of an AI program midway. She continuously received upgrades through deep learning and was about to be reborn as Shigemura Yuuna. This Shigemura Yuuna was the yellow-haired girl in plain clothes that appeared before the professor as a phantom in the end. Oh, and she was also shown in the researcher's picture frame.

So yeah, they are separate beings, originally, the Black Yuna was used for OS as an AR-idol, later on, the White Yuna was created when the memories of the SAO survivors were stolen and she was the one supposed to become Shigemura Yuuna.

Who do I contact regarding rights licenses of specific manga/anime characters?

We can't really help you with the process licensing (since we have no expertise on it, so it's off topic), but we can tell you who the primary IP holder are for their respective media.

Akira, Kodansha

Fist of the North Star, Shueisha

Project A-ko, Seishinsha, A.P.P.P.

Tank Police, Hakusensha

Appleseed, Kodansha

Essentially you'll have to contact the IP holder directly to work things out. You might be able to contact your local license holder to get the contact information of the IP holder. Additionally, if you can reach out to the series creators, they can better refer you to the right person.


What is this manga with a lion on its cover?

This is volume 1 of「ヤスミーン」(Yasumiin), written as "Jasmin" in English letters, authored by the mangaka Hatake Yui (畑 優以). It is published by Shuueisha (株式会社集英社) under its Young Jump Comics (ヤングジャンプコミックス) line.

It is available to read for free online as an e-book on Shuueisha's official website.


How powerful was Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan?

We don't know everything about it, though it's said to have the ability to control the Nine-Tails. It's the same way as how we don't know the abilities of Izuna's Mangekyo Sharingan.


What is the song played in episode 492 at 8:30

I believe the track your looking for is called Memories, and I think it's actually from the first Naruto, not Shippuden. I looked high and low man, and I finally found it lol


Are there any Evangelion games out there in US or EU?

None of those games have any official translation or has been localized to English. There is a fan-translated version of the first Girlfriend of Steel that was ported to Flash. I don't know how accurate it is or where you'd go to find it these days.

Along with the list that you have, there's a couple of more listed in this wiki Category, which isn't complete by a long shot.

Outside of official translations, you can look through faqs at places like Game Faqs which includes translations of the UI and game text. It's not nearly as convenient but it's really all there is.


L-Elf is not clairvoyant, he is just highly intelligent. He takes what he knows about the people around him as well as what he knows about the enemy so that he can predict the movements of what will or what can happen. If there is someone he does not know or understand his calculations are seen as false predictions. I believe it was episodes 3 and 4 of the first season that proved that he was not clairvoyant. If you watch the series over again with that in mind, you will see that everything he says is based on what he plans, with some variations.

At the end of the first season of the series Cain clearly states that "L-Elf, I trained you well. That is how I can predict your movements now."


What manga is this picture of a couple kissing from?

It's from a hentai manga by Otsuka Kotora. The tankoubon title is Angraecum. The story title is Phalaenopsis. It's the third story in the tankoubon.


As far as I know, there has been no event yet in the manga where Eri was shown to have reverted a dead person back to life.

What we know is that:

Her quirk can only affect a person's physical state, as mentioned by Aizawa in Chapter 161
Her quirk can erase a person's existence completely, as mentioned in Chapter 156, when her father accidentally touched her

Personally, this is still vague. For example, does a person have a soul? Because if he/she does, will the soul alongside the body be also affected? What is only known is that her quirk can only affect the physical state of those she is in contact with or within her vicinity. There is a possibility that, if a person does have a soul, it can also be affected, unless the manga dismisses it entirely. Is there a guarantee that if a person has a soul, would his/her soul still be near its physical body upon death? Near enough to be affected by her quirk?

However, assuming that a person does not have a soul and death is just another physical state of the body in the My Hero Academia world, then theoretically, she could.

There are still much to know about her quirk that we can only speculate what could be or could not be possible. As far as I know, that manga has yet to clarify this.


Are these One Piece characters based on western children's story characters?

Usopp's name is derived from the Japanese word "Uso" which means lie or falsehood (1). The elongated nose is an allusion to Pinocchio.

Franky was actually created with seiyu Kazuki Yao in mind after Eiichiro Oda (the mangaka) heard the voice actor's performance as Jango and Bon Clay, however it is likely that Franky is based on Pop-eye. In addition to the enlarged forearms, both characters are 34 and both rely on food for energy and powers (Popeye uses spinach and Franky uses cola) (2).

There are numerous clues that Chopper is an allusion to Rudolph (taken from this Wikia article):

Chopper is a reindeer with an odd colored nose
His official birthday is Christmas eve
"Chopper the Blue-nosed Reindeer" was produced and sung by the cast
Dr. Kureha is described coming down the mountain with Chopper's silhouette pulling a sleigh and then enters some homes via chimney


The name Kyubey is a short-hand for Incubator (pronounced [in-kyuh-bey-ter](source), which shows similar phonetic pronunciations). This follows a pattern similar to other nicknames or names that are shortened, such as:

"Ed", from "Edward" (e.g. Edward "Ed" Elric from FMA) and
"Al", from "Alphonse" (like Alphonse "Al" Elric, also from FMA).

That said, Kyubey is the name of the creatures, whereas Incubator is its race/species.
From the Madoka Magica wiki:

Kyubey is an Incubator/Messenger of Magic. Because of this, he, like his race, cannot exhibit emotions of any kind.

In episode 8, around 20:10, Homura says

I won't let things go according to your plans, Kyubey.
Or should I say... "Incubator"?

Which would be equivalent, in context, to me saying

I won't let things go according to your plans, Memor-X.
Or should I say... "Human"?


Can I use a UK Crunchyroll account on a US PS4 and viceversa?

Crunchyroll doesn't have regional accounts, they determine what you can watch depending on your current location. Example: you register in the US, then move to - dunno - Azerbaijan, you'll only be able to watch the shows available in Azerbaijan. Source

Crunchyroll also doesn't care about what kind of device is used with what kind of regional PS/Xbox/whatever account to watch their streams. Again, they only care about your current location.


When did L switch the 2nd Death Note in "The Last Name"?

The facts are

At 1:56:10-20 Light can clearly see Ryuk, which means he should have touched the second DN at least once.
At 1:56:30 Light writes down his father's name, who doesn't die in the end.

In those 10 seconds it would have been impossible for L to switch the notebooks. Assuming this isn't just a mistake from the authors, I can think of two possibilities

Either L had secretly touched Light with a piece of the Death Note and asked Ryuk to play along and to only appear from the moment light had touched the fake notebook, making Light believe that it was the real one.
They only switched the pages and not the cover, as they did in the manga.

My gut feeling says it's the second, but I can't really prove it.


As described in Wikipedia, Haruhi possesses unconscious god-like abilities to change, destroy, and reshape reality to her desires.  In an interview, Tanigawa stated that the idea for the character came during a sleepless night at the beginning of the 21st century.

I think Koizumi also mentioned that Haruhi has a God-like power. I just don't remember what specific episode did he mention it. Along with Koizumi, Yuki and Mikuru revealed to Kyon that that was the reason why they were sent to earth, to watch over Haruhi since she is unaware of her God-like powers.


What's going on at the beginning of the story?

Ohana's biological father - Matsumae Ayato - died when Ohana was still a baby, of unspecified causes (probably a Japanese cold or something). I believe this is only alluded to in the show, but if you watch the movie, you actually get to see that stage of Ohana's life.

After that, Ohana's mother (Satsuki) gets in relationships with various boyfriends, the latest of which is the guy you see in episode 1. The dude apparently is in a lot of debt - Satsuki has poor taste in men. Worse still, when his creditors asked him for his address, the dude seems to have given them the address of Ohana's apartment.

Rather than dealing with his debts like a reasonable person, he and Satsuki decide to abandon the apartment and run away together so as to get the creditors off their trail. To them, this doubles as a romantic getaway, and thus, they don't want to take Ohana along with them. Satsuki decides to ship Ohana off to Kissui, and thus the show begins.

Basically, it all boils down to Satsuki being a godawful excuse for a parent.


Are there any major difference between Season 1 and 2 of Dragon Ball Super and the Dragonball Z movies they are named from?

I'm talking about what I remember but generally if you watched the movies, skip the first two seasons because they are just a time waster and for the most part really boring.

In the first movie when Goku encountered Beerus he immediately switched to SSJ3 to fight him, where in the anime he fought in the SS1 and SS2 forms first. Also after the battle, in the movie Beerus mentioned that he was using 70% of his strength while in the anime he simply said he was not using all of his power. I'm sure there are some more details I have missed (oh yeah maybe another important one: in the movie they were fighting at the Capsule Corp headquarter while in the series the battle was on a cruise ship.

The second movie: most notable changes in the anime are that Ginyu swapped bodies with Tagoma and that Piccolo had died. Also there is a difference in how the dragon wishes were used but I don't remember how it went right.

If you plan to watch the series, as I said before you can skip the first 2 seasons, nothing major was changed and it is a real slog. Almost an entire episode was dedicated to Goku's transformation to a God. They literally stand in the circle for 10 minutes while he was transforming.


Who are these bunny girls from Gurren Lagann referencing?

4 is Mahoro Ando from Mahoromatic
6, Anna Kurauchi (He is my Master) is the only prominent GAINAX character I know with that color hair and hairstyle
7 is Aki from Abenobashi
8 is Reiko Kashiwara from Gunbuster
10 ???
12 possibly the "Owner" from Ebichu or Yukino from His and Her Circumstances because she sometimes wears her hair that way
14 possibly Sakura Miyuki from Mahoromatic?

Most likely they're just random girls as there's really nothing that can accurately identify them like clothing or eye color.


How is it known Zarbuto is a Tsufurujin?

Well it was mentioned in the character descriptions and apart from that, there isn't any exact reason why. We also see the Yardrat in Universe 2 and we know for a fact that Yardrats exist on Universe 7 and there is no exact explanation as to why there are Yardrats on Universe 2. Maybe, they brought back another race which was previously mentioned while adding the Yardrat character to Universe 2? We know that Universe 6 is the parallel universe of Universe 7 and technically, all races found in Universe 7 should have a counterpart in Universe 6. Yet, we see the Yardrat and the Tsufurujin from Universe 2. I guess the best explanation which I believe would be that while creating new characters for the tournament of power, a couple of previously mentioned races were brought back such as the Yardrat and the Tsufurujin while designing characters for Universe 2. I don't really think we are going to get any more of an explanation with regard to the same because it's been already established that Ribrianne is the main important character in the Universe left on the stadium, and the yadrat was already given a decent amount of spotlight.


Why does Team Rocket always try to catch Pikachu?

There are multiple reasons (and theories. People won't give up with Pokémon theories & creepy pasta) of why Team Rocket would like to get Ash's Pikachu.

1) In ep65 "The Battle Of The Badge" in Season One, it revealed that the boss asked them to, by team rocket saying to the Jovani "It's even rarer than the Pikachu you want so much". the question remaining is what makes Ash's Pikachu so rare and special?

  In the Season one episode "Ash Catches a Pokémon," when Team Rocket was trying to steal Pikachu, Meowth accidentally says that Ash's Pikachu's power exceeds the power level he would possess as a Raichu (the evolved version of Pikachu).

As said in the wiki, as an example. (I'll try to update the post with a video link).

Which can be interpreted as

  Ash's Pikachu has got more power than a regular Raichu

As you can see in the different seasons of Pokémon, Ash's Pikachu is dunking asses. If you compare it to a regular Pikachu from one of the games, the difference in stats is ridiculous. I mean like... really?

What's more, Pikachu is one of the few Pokémon Ash didn't abandon (I mean.. C'mon, he left Charizard, who in the world would be insane enough to do this? What do you mean, Pokémon have feelings too?), so Ash spent many years training him.

So we can assume that, even if Ash was one of the most incompetent trainers,  Pikachu should be around level 100, giving the Team Rocket another good reason to try to catch him.

2) Another way to see it (not proven at all, just my personal opinion) is that, more than being stupid, Team Rocket is incredibly stubborn, as proven by the hundreds of tries of catching Pikachu. They spent years trying to catch Pikachu, what would be the sense of all this time of their lives if they stopped now? They prefer to keep spending their time trying to catch this Pikachu rather than admitting they lost years of their lives for nothing.

TL;DR : Pikachu OP & Team Rocket stupid


Did Touka become human after being attacked in Root A?

No, she is still a ghoul.

Ghouls can regrow their Kagune sacs, which is exactly what they did to Rize. Rize was kept restrained and bearly alive while they harvested her Kagune sacs and implanted them into dozens if not hundreds of humans, with only 3 known successes including Kaneki. You may also recall The fact that Jason had his sac eaten by Kaneki, but (I do not recall if the anime showed this) he still attacked Juzo before his death at Juzo's hands. His Kagune and body were turned into Juzo's Scythe, named after its source, Jason.

Touka is also shown to be still a ghoul in Tokyo Ghoul:re, the sequel to Tokyo Ghoul. So, rather, she just rarely actually uses her Kagune. She usually avoids fighting, and being an S-rank Ukaku type, she rarely needs to actually use her wings.


What order should the Fairy Tail volumes/chapters be read in? And how to read labelling "Fairy Tail 465 - 400 Years"?

You should read the chapters in order from Chapter 1 to the latest. On the majority of the websites they will put the latest characters (based on chapter number) towards the top of the page.

As for your second question: Fairy Tail 465 - 400 Years; means the that is chapter 465 of the series, and the title of that particular chapter is '400 years'.

As an FYI to you, there are several other Fairy Tail series that are pseudo-canon (or fully canon) related to the main story. Some of them are written by the same author of the core series. Just be warned that some of them have spoilers for historic events of the main series, but they are all really good.


Why does Shichika allow Princess Hitei to travel with him?

Princess Hitei released Togame from her burdens and sent Shichika to thank Hitei for that. Hitei also confessed that she didn't dislike Togame. Hitei also was going along with the motives of her ancestor, not her own volition. So in a way, she killed Togame for two reasons, to alter the future and to release her from burdens/responsibilities. She semi-respects Togame in the end by cutting her long hair as short as Togame's. Even Shichika has a shred of humanity to realize that any needless killing is well, needless.


Why is the Kanto League called the Indigo League?

While it is more commonly known as the Indigo League, the names "Indigo League" and "Kanto League" are simply synonymous

  Depending on the context, the Indigo League can also be called the Kanto League or simply the Pokémon League

However, after doing some research on Bulbapedia, I found the reasoning to why "Kanto League" is known as the "Indigo League"

In the Generation I games, the final area of the game is called "Indigo Plateau" which lead to many players assuming the Pokémon League for this region was called the "Indigo League". The reason why the name "Kanto League" wasn’t considered was because Kanto wasn’t commonly known at the time. “Kanto” was only ever mentioned once in the Generation I games, and not mentioned outside of Japan until Generation II games.

  Until the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, Kanto's name was seen only once in the Japanese Generation I games: upon viewing the Town Map at Blue's house. It was never mentioned in the Generation I games outside of Japan, and thus many fans assumed the region was called "Indigo", based on the name of the Indigo Plateau. By the time the Generation III remakes, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, were released, Kanto's name was firmly established and appeared regularly in-game


What should I watch first? The Last: Naruto the movie or Sasuke's story sunrise arc?

As discussed in this answer, How much time has passed between the final fight and Sasuke Shinden (anime)?

The full timeline is linked in the Reddit Thread: Naruto timeline
The relevant part is:

However, these events are being produced in a non chronological manner and hence the confusion. Naruto: The Last was aired before the end of 4th Ninja War. Sasuke Shinden has been adapted before other works, such as Shikamaru Shinden which is now airing.

Thus there is no "recommended order" for watching the series. The stories are not that reliant on each other and you can watch the movies/episodes as you want (After episode 479).

To answer the real question, The events of Naruto: The Last take place before Sasuke Shinden: Book of Sunrise.

Personally, I wait for a few episodes to pile up and then watch them in their chronological order.


Some schools within the city are like most boarding school have curfew's for their students. Tokiwadai being a prestigious all girls school has a particularly strict one, reasoning being girls shouldn't be out late. Not all schools have them it seems. Judgement act is similar authority as prefects for people and students within the city.


How could Naruto use rasengan in tailed best chakra mode?

The "Rasengan" was created by the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who took three years to develop it. The Rasengan is based on the Beast Ball with Tail, which is the definitive attack of the Beasts with Tail.

So that it isn't difficult to confuse one technique with the other, but answering the question what in fact uses naruto in that chapter is a "partial" rasengan with chakra of the 9 tails beast.

During the manga different versions of this combination are seen, but in any case is the tail beast bomb. It is a fusion between the two techniques or simply the utilisation of Kurama's chakra.


Why Chimera Ants who were created from humans have the physical appearance of animals?

I found a question on Reddit referring to exactly that.
Based on fan theories, they believe that since NGL is one giant nature preserve, the ant queen had access to all types of animals early on. The ant chimeras she makes then randomly inherit the animal genes she ingested.

Gearfire describes the process pretty well:

  That most likely has to do with the differences between Genotype and Phenotype. Just because the Chimera Ants were composed of mostly human DNA and genes doesn't mean that those genes are the ones that are physically expressed. The varied appearance of the ants seems to me like proof that human genes were not dominant in terms of outward appearance.


What's the name of this piano theme in My Hero Academia?

The song's called "I'll become a hero", here's the link! It is from the 1st Season's OST


How did Kakyoin get hit by The World when he was outside of its range?

The stand has a range of "approximately" ten meters, meaning that Kakyoin could've been just inside the Stands Range (unfortunately for him).

Dio probably knows by eye exactly how far away his enemies are from him and whether or not he'd be able to catch them in The World, so he walks forward until Kakyoin is just in range and then uses The World - otherwise he'd be wasting a perfectly good use.

I think also that Emerald Splash was 20 meters in diameter, not 20 meters straight forward, making it more likely that Dio would've been perfectly in range.


How can Madara still stick around even after the Edo Tensei had been ended?

When Edo Tensei ends, the summoned soul is freed from the Edo Tensei's control, and then the soul ascends to the pure world (afterlife). However, there is a small "grace period" between the two. During this grace period, the soul can act freely.

   During that grace period, Dan used the Reika no Jutsu to go meet his girlfriend. Itachi shared his memories and feeling with Sasuke (though granted he had been freed from the Edo Tensei's control long back). Most other shinobi stood around doing nothing significant.
 However, during that grace period, Madara released the Edo Tensei's summoning contract itself. As such, his soul is no longer bound to "ascend to the pure world" and can continue to stay in the impure world.

He could have done the same thing even before the Edo Tensei was released, if Kabuto had let him, and the effect would be the same. Also, if others knew the seals and chose to use them, they would be able to stick around too.


What is the difference between Negima!? and Negima!

Negima! is a direct adaptation of the original manga. It covers most of the major stories from the manga up through Volume 6, then does an original story for its last few episodes. The stories are done out of order, though; the Library Island arc from Volume 2 is done after the Evangeline arc from Volume 3, and the filler stories are scattered all over the place. The Kyouto story arc is compressed into two episodes (it made up the majority of Volumes 4, 5, and 6 of the manga).

Negima?! is a reimagined version of the story created by Akiyuki Shimbo and Shaft, with the usual weird art style. I like to refer to it as "Pani Poni Negi", because the art and humor are very reminiscent of Shaft's Pani Poni Dash. The story of Negima?! is completely different from the manga, and is more focused on absurd humor and less on action and fanservice. (There is also some action and a decent amount of adventure, but almost no fanservice.) The characters are vaguely similar but also quite different in many ways: Asuna is obsessed with finding a chupacabra, Makie for some reason believes that a frog creature is her father, and Konoka is sarcastic and clever instead of cheerful and ditzy. (But she's sarcastic and clever in a cheerful way.)

The Spring and Summer Specials are OVAs of Negima?! I haven't seen them but according to Wikipedia, the Spring Special is based on Volume 7 of the manga, where Asuna and Negi get in a fight at an island resort, while the Summer Special is an original story about Nodoka.


A manga about two girls being summoned to another world and mistaken identity

I'm quite sure it is +α no Tachi Ichi
Your description of the manga is extremely similar to the synopsis from mangaupdates:

Satoki Houma is an imaginative girl who enjoys shoujo manga. She has long comes to terms with the fact she will never be the type of girl that is the heroine of a manga — purely because she isn’t pretty, and she has decided she prefers to watch events unfold rather that get involved in any case. However, in the perfect shoujo manga twist, one day she gets dragged to an alternate world where the people have summoned a Holy Maiden to save them…!
Except so did her classmate, Haruka Toudou, who fits the exact model of a Shoujo Protagonist. Naturally, Satoki is overlooked for Haruka… except it’s not Haruka who has the powers of the Holy Maiden they wished for. What will Satoki do!?

By the way, I easily found the manga by going through the list of series tagged with Transported to Another World on mangaupdates.


Does people playing Sword Art Online feel something or not?

The Nerve Gear can theoretically simulate pain as well as all other senses.

  Inside, there were numerous signal transceivers. By using the
  electronic signals sent by those transceivers, the gear accessed the
  user’s brain itself. The user didn’t use their eyes or ears to see and hear,
  the signals went directly to their brain. In addition, the machine could
  access not only sight and sound, but also: touch, taste, and smell as
  well—that is to say, all five senses.

But the players in SAO apparently don't feel pain except for some discomfort.

  Kuradeel wrinkled his brow and curved his lips upwards, then
  stabbed my right arm with the tip of his sword. He then twisted it twice,
  then thrice.
  “Argh…!”
  Although I didn’t feel any pain, an unpleasant feeling of being
  stimulated in the nerves passed through my entire body alongside the
  strong paralysis effect. Every time the blade dug into my arm, my HP
  decreased slowly but steadily.

In ALO Pain Absorption is introduced as a setting that regulates how much pain the player feels from a wound.

  The flames coursing through my nerves were extinguished by the
  sensation of thick metal piercing through my body. The center of my
  chest was pierced through by the sword, which seemed to be deeply
  rooted in the floor. Though there was no pain, I was being assaulted by
  intense discomfort.
  “Ki... Kirito-kun!!”
  Hearing Asuna’s cry, I met her gaze while trying to tell her ‘I’m
  fine’.
  However, faster than my voice could come out, Sugou suddenly
  spoke out to the darkness in the sky above with a booming voice.
  “System command! Pain Absorption, change to level 8.”
  That moment, a sharp cone of pure pain spread through my back,
  as if I was stabbed.
  “G... Guh...”
  When a groan leaked out of my mouth, Sugou howled in laughter.
  “Kukuku, there’s still two more treats for you. The pain will get
  stronger gradually so look forward to enjoying it. When it gets lower
  than level 3, I’m afraid it seems you’ll still feel the symptoms of shock
  even after logging out.”

Considering that ALO is based on the SAO technology we can likely assume that this setting was used to prevent the SAO players from feeling any pain.
As to their screams I think that it just natural response when you are in panic and realize that you could/are going to die.
The first and second excerpts are from the first light novel and the last one is from the fourth (translations by Baka-Tsuki).


Why doesn't Lee have Ninjutsu or Genjutsu? Can't everyone use their Chakra's and hand signs to do these stuff?

Just because everyone can do such things does not mean people are able to. Lee's situation is not that he can't do it, its that he has absolutely no talent for it. Kind of like Naruto, but worse. However, He does have a talent for Taijutsu, and that is the only reason he was able to become a Ninja at all. Because he is so heavily weighed towards Taijutsu, its the only thing he trains.

His serious lack of any talent what so ever means its not worth his time to train any kind of Ninjutsu or Genjutsu. He would probably spend weeks or months training it, and only get a little progress. Whats worse is that the serious lack of phsyical training he would be doing would to train that would probably weaken him a lot. He would have to increase his already intense training by a lot, and that increase of probably hours a day would net him almost nothing for probably years. For most of that time, he would be training frustrated and depressed due to his lack of progress. At least with Taijutsu, he had hope, but with ninjutsu, he has none.

So, you are probably right, He can do it if he really tried, but it would probably take years for him to do anything substantial, and he would have to overcome hurdles several times bigger than anything he has had to do before, all the while having little hope to drive him. He just doesn't view such a thing as worth his effort. As a Taijutsu master, he can already go against top Jonin and has a decent shot of winning.


OST Song at 17:00 Fairy Tail Episode 189

Never mind, found it in the first volume of the Original Sound Collection: 19. Fairy Tail Rises.

Competition cards are 74x53mm (~2.9x2.1 inches) in size, and made from "pasteboard". Reference: Japanese Wikipedia article on karuta.  The pasteboard used to make Japanese playing cards tends to be thicker than what we are familiar with in the West for cards. It's called 厚紙 (atsugami = thick paper) and can be quite thick -- I have some Japanese playing cards that are 0.4mm thick, which is thicker than Western plastic playing cards, and I've seen images of atsugami that look quite a bit thicker.

Alas I don't know exactly how thick karuta competition cards are since I never held any.


Where did the Western names in Code Geass come from?

This is only a partial answer as I don't actually think the names of characters came from anything else, just chosen names.

However, in the case of Britannian Terminology a lot of it comes from legends.

Arthurian legends

The Elite group Suzaku joins, the Knights of the Round, is based on the Knights of the Round Table. I'm quite sure each of their Knightmares is named after the member Knights.
Lloyd Asplund's Irregular Special Research Division, Camelot, is named after the Castle/Kingdom Arthur would rule.
The Britannian Capital Pendragon is the family name of the monarchy that rules Camelot. ie Uther Pendragon and Arthur Pendragon.

Norse mythology

The Ragnarok System is named after the foretold end/resetting of the world, Ragnarok.
Luciano Bradley's Valkyrie Squadron are named after the Valkyries, who, just like the squadron, are all women.

Greek

The Sky Fortress Damocles is possibly named after Damocles in the Greek Anecdote the Sword of Damocles. Much like the sword, the fortress would be hanging over the planet as an imminent and ever-present peril with its payload of F.L.E.I.J.A. Warheads, had it reached orbit. (Funny enough, the Fortress and the F.L.E.I.J.A. firing switch sort of resemble swords)

Other

On the Wikia under Trivia for the Sword of Akasha it mentions the Nasuverse uses of Akasha. On Wikipedia this matches to the Akashic records; however, this is a theosophy meaning and there are other meanings for Akasha.

As a note, under the trivia of Kyoshiro Tohdoh's first Knightmare in The Black Knights, Zangetsu, it says

  Zangetsu is also the name of main character Ichigo Kurosaki's Zanpakutō in the hit anime series Bleach. Ichigo Kurosaki's English voice actor is Johnny Young Bosch, the same English voice actor as Lelouch Lamperouge. Also, Tohdoh's Zangetsu's color scheme is black and red, the same as Ichigo Kurosaki's.

It should be noted that Bleach first airing predates the start of Code Geass, so it is possible the choice to cast Johnny Young Bosch as Lelouch in the English dub stemmed from his role as Ichigo, wielder of Zangetsu.


In the Berserk manga, what was the interpretation when Guts was lying on his back looking at the starry heaven?

To my knowledge, there is no official interpretation of the symbolism behind this scene. Your interpretation is a good one and might be exactly what the author intended.

My interpretation is different. I see the sky as a symbol for limitless opportunity. The sky goes on forever and there are countless stars, just as human potential for growth is limitless and there is no limit to the number of paths we can take in life.

I took this interpretation because in the same scene, Guts asks the same question twice in a row: "Where should I go?". The repetition indicates the importance of the phrase.

In other words, the sky represents the endless destinations and possibilities that exist in human life, like bright stars against a black nothingness.


A bit late, but it's because all revenge does is leave empty. So even through Tyuule got what she wanted, she can't feel happy about any of it. They mention it earlier back with Tuka's mental issues and the fire dragon.
Oh and she doesn't love him. Can never love him for all he's done.


They were wrong. He wasn't dormant/asleep, he just was busy elsewhere and wanted himself cut off from Humanity. Since he didn't interact with humanity but his deeds were legends, Grimoire Heart assumed he was dormant because of no news of any activity.

This is revealed by Zeref himself at the end of the Arc. This is what he says in Chapter 250 of Manga.

Referring to the Synopsis of Tenrou arc. Source: Spoiler Heavy: Zeref - Wikia.

   At the end of the war, an enraged Zeref sneaks aboard the Grimoire Heart airship and confronts the remainder of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, including their Guild Master, Hades, about the horror they have brought upon the world. While there, Zeref reveals that he was never "asleep", but, rather, he was always "awake". He also reveals that when he understands the weight of human life, his cursed body will eliminate his surroundings; but when he forgets about it, he is able to fully control his terrible Magic. He blames Grimoire Heart for the summoning of Acnologia, claiming that it will now end the current era. He then tells the group to repent for their unforgivable sins and casts a spell on Hades

What he was doing while he was "awake" can be covered in a detailed answer which will contain spoilers from Fairy Tail: Zero and the "Alwarez Empire" Arc.


Why is Roa's appearance in the Hisui route different from that in "Near Side of the Moon"?

It's because Roa is inside the body of SHIKI Tohno, Akiha's blood-related brother, from before the start of the game as SHIKI was locked away inside the mansion after his Inversion Impulse

   until Kohaku released him knowing he would kill his father, who sexually abused her as a child.

It is not true that:

  Yet regardless of the route, Roa and the original Shiki Tohno (which some translations name SHIKI) should be the same person.

Roa is in love with Arcueid while SHIKI is in love with Akiha. This shows that between the "Near Side of the Moon" and "Far Side of the Moon" Shiki is confronting a different person. The Near Side Roa is after Arcueid while in the Far Side SHIKI is after Akiha.

The discrepancy between the two is caused by who the dominating will of the two is. In the Far Side routes, SHIKI's will dominates (while in the near side it is Roa's that dominates).

  SHIKI is the main antagonist during the "Far-Side Moon" routes, the stories of Akiha and Hisui. SHIKI's inversion impulse keeps Roa from exerting his will over him, resulting in a very deranged individual obsessed only with getting revenge on Shiki for stealing everything from him. Roa doesn't have an appearance in these stories besides a brief mention from SHIKI that something in his mind wants to take over.

Source: Roa - Akiha's Route (1st Paragraph)

The appearance change would probably be related to who the dominating will is. For instance, in his previous reincarnation, Roa styles his new body to suit himself as with Elesia, who looks different from Ciel today.

On the Type-moon Wikia page you'll also notice that Roa and SHIKI share the same page in much the same way Saber/Saber-Alter/Saber-Lily do.


AI conflict in Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet

Like you say, the AI follows whats best from machine's point of view. Chamber even recommends multiple times that taking over Gargantia and becoming a leader is best way to achieve his goals of survival and getting back to Alliance. But Ledo stops him. This is reason why there is still pilot. Leaving critical decisions on a machine can result in really bad situations.

There is also OVA that explains how things happened on Kugel's side. Simply said, Kugel starts in similar position as Ledo, yet circumstances and misunderstanding lead him to what we saw in anime. Striker just continues what Kugel started.

As for Chamber vs. Striker at the end, it is easily explained by AIs being able to learn. Chamber learned, that while Gargantia does things inefficiently from Aliance's standard, it leads to much higher satisfaction and lives of people, along with Ledo's happiness. What is what Chamber looks out for most. Striker on the other side got confirmed it's way of thinking, so it tries to defend that.


How was the Black Bull squad ranked at the beginning of the Black Clover anime?

The Black Bull is last in ranking in terms of the number of stars they have gathered

The fist time they talked about how many stars the black bull have is after Asta and Noelle's first mission. The Black Bull have -31 stars while Golden Dawn have 70 stars at that time.

   Asta and Noelle earned a star for their first mission making it -30 stars for the Black Bull

The first time we see the full ranking of the nine magic knights squads is they are at the bottom though this is the last year's ranking. Based on what Yami said, Black Bull is always last in the rankings of previous years.

  Yami: Man.. What a pain in the butt. Were always last anyway.

Was Nanoha critically injured during a Jail Scaglietti Investigation?

Before the events of StrikerS, although Jail Scaglietti's existence was a secret known only to the top tiers of the TSAB, his activities were already known, albeit the identity of its perpetrator remained unknown. In fact, said activities are one of the main points Hayate used during his exposition when forming Riot Force 6.

We can only deduce that Nanoha's incident happened in one encounter with Scaglietti's activities. Still, as there was no "Jail Scaglietti Investigation" back then, she must have been investigating a case of improper use of Lost Logia or usage of magical technology in an underdeveloped world (not specified, as far as I know)


Sakamoto has 3 chips, plus his own (for a total of four), after he kills Masashi Miyamoto (knife guy) and Souichi Natsume (attorney guy with glasses).

Before Miyamoto gets killed (while he has Himiko hostage, after Natsume is killed by the Cracker BIM), he mentions he's already killed a guy and taken his IC chip and BIM. Miyamoto wrongly assumes that Sakamoto has three chips (two plus his own) since he has 3 types of BIMs, and that Himiko has Mitsuo Akechi's (fat guy) IC chip.


Besides Naruto, Jiraiya and Minato, who else is in contract with Toads?

Yes. We don't know who they are, but the Toad contract Naruto signs lists down names, which are more than those 3.

Naruto Chapter 92. Pg 19.


In Boruto Episode 55, Urashiki spoke to Momoshiki Otsutsuki about the existence of 9 massive entities of Chakra in the form of tailed beasts. However, the only tailed beasts whose locations he explicitly mentioned were the Hachibi and Kyuubi. Urashiki was the  member that the Main Branch of the Otsutsuki Clan, who was tasked with searching for the Chakra fruit that Kaguya was originally tasked with, and with his Byakugan senses he was only able to detect the Eight and Nine tails.

My Hypothesis is that; if the tailed beasts were somewhere in the open forest, then Urashiki would most definitely have mentioned them and then started with the  lesser beasts which would be easier to acquire, but rather he does not mention them at all. This could Imply that the Tailed beasts are somewhere where even Urashiki could not find. I would guess that they were hidden somewhere where No one would try to Harm or take advantage of their Chakra.


Why does the commander wear a mask in the command center?

It's been a while since this was asked and is pretty much covered in the comments, but here's an answer.

Captain Kobayashi is part of the immortal council and therefore doesn't age. If she walked around never aging people would notice, hence the mask. It probably also serves as a way to hide emotion from the crew, show strength and all that.

Sidonia's wikia page is pretty barren, but there is some stuff there.


If Tobi could use the izanagi, which requires both Senju and Uchiha DNA, then why wasn’t he able to awaken the Rinnegan on his own?

Tobi was not able to awaken the Rinnegan despite having both Uchiha and Senju DNA because he was missing a certain step in the evolution, and that is, the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

   (I slightly explained obito's case in one of my previous answers)

The evolution of the Sharingan involves firstly awakening the Mangekyo, then after a combination with another family members Mangekyo, it evolves to an Eternal mangekyo sharingan, after which adding Senju DNA to the mix awakens the Rinnegan.

Tobi's Sharingan never reached the EMS and so thats why even tho he had combined both Uchiha and Senju DNA, he still was not able to awaken the Rinnegan.


Why did the reanimated Nagato and Madara have Rinnegan?

Source

The Summoning: Impure World Reincarnationbinds the soul of a deceased person to a living vessel, restoring them as they were when they were alive in order to do their summoner's bidding.
A reincarnated individual will have all the abilities they had during their life, including kekkei genkai and kekkei tōta. They are physically restored as they were at the time of their death, including any physical handicaps they may have possessed, such as Nagato's damaged legs. Exceptions exist: illnesses they had will not be preserved, nor will any physical damage that contributed to their death. There is some inconsistency of whether or not foreign body matter will be restored as well: Hanzō retains the poison gland of the black salamander, but Madara Uchiha does not have access to Hashirama Senju's genetic material and thus Kabuto must artificially reproduce it for him.

So, Nagato had his eyes at time of death, so as at reincarnation.


What happened to Aura between the events of G.U. and the movie?

In The world:R2, Aura is missing because she is trying to let the players act by themselves. She acted tough by creating the 3 azure knights (azure kite, balmung and orca) and helped haseo during the last fight of .hack//G.U. game series.


Are there differences between the web novel and light novel versions of Re:Zero?

In any adaptation of a story from one version to another, there are going to be some edits. Originally, Re:Zero is a web novel and it is always the furthest along in the story.  The story gets edited a bit as it gets transferred to the "official" light novel publication, and even more as it gets drawn as a manga.

As far as my experiences though, the overall story does not really change between these mediums.  It seems mostly just a case of how much content makes it through to each.  This is, of course, the most visible between the manga and anime adaptations, since the studio is limited to certain time constraints.

From what I've heard from the community regarding Re:Zero, the light novel is what is considered the most canon/official.


What are the similarities and differences between Reiatsu and Chakra?

Well, one of the main differences is most likely that chakra in Naruto seems to be a power exclusive to living things (like animals, plants and humans) while reiatsu in Bleach is more of a general form of energy (as all of Seireitei is made of reishi). Also, chakra can only be used through a medium (a body, tool etc.) while reishi can just be collected from outside and then used (like the way quincies collect reishi to form their arrows)

Also, later in Naruto, Madara explains that

   chakra was not actually a power of humans. They "stole" it from the God Tree (神樹, Shinju), which then became the Ten-Tails. And the Sage of the Six Paths inherited chakra from his mother, defeated the Ten-Tails and gave chakra to living things as a mean to connect each others hearts. Only later they started to refuse to connection to each other, and instead train their own chakra to use it in battle. So while reiatsu is a ever present form of energy, chakra is more of a foreign power to humans

In my personal opinion, I think that reiatsu is a symbol of "the power of one's Soul" while chakra is "the power of one's body".


Mushiking was pretty much a large advertisement for a game and didn't get a great following - That isn't to say that anime based on games can't be popular (see Pokémon & Yugioh) , but more often than not efforts to make a company's new product the new "thing" end in failure.

It didn't disappear, rather it faded away in time. A thing that happens to all media, unless it is significantly loved by consumers.

That being said, you can still find the DVDs in some places (Japanese):

Does Layla have some sort of connection to the X777 event?

I don't think so, if you take a look at the Fairy Tail timeline you see that for some events there is no exact date known.

According to the timeline, these events happened somewhere in the year X777:

Romeo Conbolt is born.
Lector is born.
Layla dies of an unknown illness.

Therefore we can assume that the aforementioned events did not happen on July 7.

Underneath that you see the events of July 7 X777,

All dragons disappeared on 7 July.
Natsu is found by Makarov and invited to join Fairy Tail.
Mystogan left Edolas through an Anima portal and enters Earth Land.
Natsu Dragneel, Gajeel Redfox, and Wendy Marvell's Dragon parents leave them.

I think there is a bigger chance it had to do something with Mystogan coming to Earthland.


How does Illya overpower Alter Saber's Excalibur with her traced version?

It would appear that Archerko Illya traced Excalibur and overloaded it with prana turning it into a Broken Phantasm. Which raises the weapon's rank by one.

One would assume that the two Excaliburs would cancel each other out, but Saber Alter, unlike the typical Saber only has an Magic Resistance of Rank B since her Alignment is Lawful Evil, which might make her more vulnerable to the effects of Excalibur.


How can the Armored Titan be killed if he can transfer his consciouness to his body and transform and heal?

Manga spoilers not possibly covered within the 3rd Season below.

There are three ways.

1.) Make him lose his will to live

In Chapters 102 - 103,

   when Eren infiltrated Marley, he had a talk with Reiner. During this, Eren transformed and Reiner tried protecting Falco but was also injured. His injuries, however, did not heal. Falco remarked that, to quote, 'if he has the power of a titan, any injuries should automatically heal themselves..So long as he has a strong will to live...'

During their talk,

   Reiner was showing remorse for everything he's done against Eren. Reading those chapters, you could say that Reiner lost his will to live after Eren, resulting to his injuries not healing.

Therefore, one way to kill the Armored Titan is to make him

   lost his will to live so that any injuries afflicted cannot heal.

2.) Wait for Ymir's curse to take into effect

Because of Ymir's curse, Titan users' lifespans only last for 13 years so another possible way is to wait until the Titan lived it's 13th year, then he'll die. The power will then be passed on to a random subject of Ymir born after his death.

3.) Make a Titan eat him

Using a Titan injection, a person can be turned into a Titan. Then while the Armored Titan is still in human form, if they can somehow subdue him in human form, the Titan can eat him and the power will be transferred.

This was how the power was taken forcibly from

   Frieda, Marcel, and Bertolt.


Do the citizens of Academy City know about magic?

You can read the Wikia article on Academy City:

  In the novel series, there are only a handful of residents who know about magic, either due to encountering it or being part of the magic side themselves, such as Kamijou Touma, Index, Accelerator, Hamazura Shiage, Aleister Crowley, Heaven Canceller, Tsuchimikado Motoharu, Himegami Aisa, Etzali, Xochitl, Misaka Mikoto, Kazakiri Hyouka, Othinus, Tsukuyomi Komoe, and Kihara Noukan.

It further states:

  Although Academy City is stated as the dominant faction on the Science side, there are still internal conflicts with the science side, not unlike what's happening in the magic side between the various churches. Because of their stance as the most advanced city in the world and having the capability of producing supernatural powers, they are both envied and feared by the factions on both sides. Even then before the start of the series, Academy City has remained neutral towards Magic side affairs in the city, allowing magicians to enter the city and not intervene with their business even at the cost of lives, and having other magicians deal with magicians without reporting to the magicians if there are third parties involved. As magic still remains hidden to the world thus, much like Oyafune Monaka, almost all of Academy City's residence are oblivious of such areas and would consider them to be another form of esper powers. Only a few, such as Kihara Noukan and Heaven Canceller, are aware of the existence of the magic side.


How can 蛙 be read as あ ("a") in Asui Tsuyu's name?

蛙 has ア【a】 as one of the on-yomi, and kanji compound is usually read in on-yomi (some also have a reading in kun-yomi, but in general, all of the kanji in the kanji compound are read in either kun-yomi only or on-yomi only, but not mixed).

Some example where 蛙 is read as "a":

  蛙黽 (abou): tree frog (toad)
  蛙鳴 (amei): frog calling
  蛙鳴蝉噪 (ameisensou): annoying noise; fruitless argument; useless controversy

As for Asui, her kanji representation 蛙吹 is read in on-yomi as 蛙（ア） and 吹（スイ）


In Laputa, does "バルス" have any meaning or etymology?

If you recall from the movie, the word "BALS," is the Laputian incantation the collapses Laputa. In the Laputian language it means "to close."

According to various online accounts this originated from the world record setting number of tweets that happened during a public re-airing of the movie on Japanese Television:

  On the night of August 2 (2013), during the "Friday Roadshow" airing of the Japanese anime film Laputa: Castle in the Sky on Nippon Television Network, Japanese netizens renewed the world record of Tweets Per Second (TPS) at 143,199 TPS by all (simultaneously) tweeting the magic spell "BALS" at the same time as the protagonists Princess Sheeta and Pazu read the spell together during the film. In the story, the magic spell "BALS", meaning "close" in the language of Laputa, is a spell of destruction that destroys the city of Laputa. The spell is said to have derived from the Turkish word "barış," meaning "peace."

The sheer amount of tweets wound up overburdening Twitter's servers, resulting in the appearance of the the well-known "Twitter Whale." The overwhelming popularity and notoriety of the tag (it's said that "BALS" was the ironic cause of the sever collapse), it stayed and eventually became a fixture in on the Japanese side of Twitter due to this event.


What is the song that was playing in Code Geass R2 episode 10 at 11:50?

This track is not featured in either of the OSTs, after a long search I found this version:

  The Unreleased Album is from people ripping music from the original
  series and trying to reduce all of the foreground sound be using audio
  subtraction and splicing from different uses in the series. It's a
  massive effort and it's a real shame that we'll never get official
  releases of a lot of Code Geass music, this one for certain really
  should have gotten one.


At the end of the story, could Edward learn Alkahestry?

In all likelihood, he can learn it but not use it.

I say this because Alchemy and Alkahestry mainly differ in their sources of powers. As mentioned on the Wikia article on Alkahestry:

  Alkahestry refers to the slightly different form of Alchemy used in the country of Xing. Alkahestry differs from Alchemy in both its practice and its goal. Whereas Amestrian Alchemy claims to have its roots in the energy of tectonic shifts and practices manipulation of matter toward scientifically practical ends, Alkahestry is centered on a concept called the "Dragon's Pulse" which speaks of the Earth itself having a constant flow of chi (life energy) which flows metaphorically from the tops of mountains down to the land, nourishing everything it passes with that energy as does blood coursing through the veins.

Although never explicitly stated, it is very likely that both Alkahestry and Alchemy make use of the Gate, and their difference lies only in their source of power and their practices. The above excerpt even mentions it as a "different form of alchemy".

It may also be noted that:1,2

Alkahestry uses energy flows of the planet to open the gate. The energy flows and has many different exit points and thus they can use ranged alchemy. The concept of Chi is that the human body has an energy flow and that it also has many different exit points.

  Using this concept, Alkahestrists are capable of a higher level of medical transmutation than Amestrian alchemists - transmitting chi through the pathways of the human body to cure mild ailments as well as minor injuries - and can even project their transmutations over long distances and wide areas by accessing and guiding that current to their own means with Purification Circles and Alkahestric markers, a function of which Amestrian Alchemy is altogether incapable.

Amestrian Alchemy uses tectonic rifts as their source of power.

  But really Father's Philosophers Stone is limiting that source of power. Its the reason why Father could amplify the Freezer's Alchemy (Episode 1), turn off Alchemy (but not Alkahestry) and why Scar's transmutation (after Bradley died) gave everyone increased power (it stopped the inhibitor of Father's Philosophers Stone).

Because of the country's history of war, their alchemy was developed with combat use in mind. Some medical alchemy was developed (proof being Marco and others) however it was never specialized and Alkahestry's medical alchemy was "better".

In conclusion: Since both of them make use of the same concept/power, the different lying in their sources and their specializations, it's possible for him to learn Alkahestry but not use it. It's similar to what happened with Alchemy. Ed can't use it at the end, but there's nothing stopping him from learning it. He even departs to the West to learn more about alchemy. As someone on Reddit put it:

  He can still physically do the motions for both, it's his body that can't make the final connection. To draw an analogy, it's like someone who is paralyzed:  Their legs are still there and the nerves are still there, but they aren't connected anymore.


What is this kanji in Kaguya-sama's anime?

The kanji on the fan that was given by Kaguya is 磨穿鉄硯【ませんてっけん】.

According to weblio, the translation is correct:

  showing unyielding diligence in one's studies; wearing a hole through one's metal inkstone from constant studying

This is actually a yojijukugo or "four-character idiom" that is easier to search compared to identifying the characters in Japanese calligraphy directly.


I think when a person is brought back by Edo Tensei, that person is revived from the last "checkpoint" of his life, when they were at their strongest. Even if originally Nagato's eyes weren't the Rinnegan, when he died he possessed it, similar to Itachi having a full potential Mangekyo Sharingan, yet he was blinded prior to his death in the last moment of his fight with Sasuke.

Since no other Uchiha was resurrected, nor other Rinnegan user was revived, this could be the only possible conclusion you can deduct from these shinobi (if you don't calculate to be a plot hole), that you're coming back from the time when you had your full strength. For example, look at Madara: he is in his younger ages, not an old grandpa who was shown in the cave with Obito.


What's the song when Kaneki wakes up after fighting against Nishio in episode 2?

The song is called Licht und Schatten, the 25th track of disc 1 from Tokyo Ghoul Original Soundtrack composed by Yutaka Yamada.


Why didn't Nagato give Naruto his Rinnegan?

Well if you think about it,

Would Naruto accept the Rinnegan, i doubt it...

Who would train him to use the Rinnegan... (Jiraya's Out Of The Picture :c)

Would the Nine-Tails React So Kindly To Naruto Getting Former Madara's Rinnegan... He's already angry to losing to Naruto, with his hatred with Madara on top i think that would make him think that Naruto is going to become the next Madara... Yeah that won't end well. It also messes up the story as Naruto probably won't be able to build a friendship with the 9 tails later...

Who would revive basically everyone in the Leaf... With Naruto having no clue how to... This messes up the story.

(This is a might 50/50) Saskue wouldn't be too happy with Naruto basically getting a much, much, more advanced Sharingan and he would probably focus his time getting a Rinnegan himself... Which messes up the story...


What is the release order of the Captain Tsubasa anime?

What OST is played in episode 685 when Fujitora is talking about colosseum's warriors teaming up?

This OST comes from One Piece Movie 5, its name is : The Marine Swordsman's Battle Cry

Here is a link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOkvZQknY6E

NARUTO WIKIA

The Rinnegan user is bestowed with the Six Paths power. And weirdly, there are seven paths:

  1. Deva Path:
  Allows one to manipulate attractive and repulsive forces.

  2. Asura Path:
  Grants the user mechanized limbs, weaponry and armor.

  3. Human Path:
  Gives the ability to remove a soul and so, read a person's mind.

  4. Animal Path:
  Lets the user summon a wide variety of creatures.

  5. Preta Path:
  Which can absorb all forms of chakra, including most ninjutsu.

  6. Naraka Path:
  Through which one can summon and control the King Of Hell.

  7. Outer Path:
  Through which one rules over both life and death.

As Nagato was crippled, he used the Outer Path to manipulate the six corpses (the Pain who fought Naruto & Jiraiya), and channeled other Paths through the Chakra Rods.

And so, by using the Human Path, Pain can read other people's minds.


Yes, she also has the backpack in the Light Novel. When she decided to visit her mom after a long time, she put memories in there to make her mother happy.

Here's a quote from the Mayoi Snail Arc in the LN (BakaTsuki translation):

  She neatly bound her own hair and filled her favorite backpack full of old memories hoping to delight her mother with them.

.

   In the end she died with her backpack on, so she still carries it after her death.


What do you call Alphonse Elric's armor seal? I have yet to read or watch this series but the answer can be found here. Apparently, a soul can be bound to inanimate objects via a Blood Rune.

  A Blood Rune, also known as a Blood Seal (血印, Ketsuin), is an alchemical technique used to bind someone's soul to an inanimate metal object. The iron in the blood will interact with the metal it is on, causing the object and the blood rune to form a symbiosis.

In exchange, Ed gave up his right arm and used his own blood to successfully bind his brother's soul. The blood rune can be seen in Al's body.


An action and ecchi manga about a girl who has multiple personalities, whose body also changes whenever she changes her personality

This sounds a lot like Gun x Clover. It is an action and ecchi manga, according to mangaupdates, and I think the female protagonist's power can be considered supernatural.

This is a page from the first chapter, showing Futaba - the 2nd personality of the female protagonist. The girl has multiple personalities (7 in total), and whenever she changes her personality, her body features (and even her outfit) also change to match the personality.

This is another page from the first chapter, showing Mitsuba - the 3rd personality of the girl. As you can see, her hair turns white as the 3rd personality takes control, and she becomes violent and capable of killing people. This is right after the scene where Futaba got caught by mercenary and was about to be defiled, when the 3rd personality Mitsuba surfaced to protect herself and killed off all the small fries.
