Why was Kakashi Hatake doing all of the hard work in the episode when they first fought Zabuza?

At that time, the members of Team 7 has just passed from the Academy, they were just kids. Sakura couldn't help much because she was very weak, she hadn't learnt medical ninjustsu to reinforce her punches. Sasuke may have been a bright child but he was still an amateur and he hadn't awakened his Sharingan. Even if he had awakened it, Zabuza was a formidable opponent, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. And Naruto didn't know any jutsu other than Shadow Clones, and he didn't have control over Kurama's power. But Naruto and Sasuke did fight against Haku if not Zabuza. It's obvious that the strongest team member Kakashi should fight against Zabuza since he's so strong.

P.S. I think you have not watched the Naruto series and you've only watched the Shippuden series.


Why does Kiki flood the floor of her flat to clean it?

She is scrubbing the floor.  It is a very common way to clean floors -- a search engine turned up many images showing people doing just this for "scrub the floor." Given that the water is on it only in the short term, the damage is not extensive even over many years.
It can leak, like any other water spill, if the floor is not watertight.


Is there a site like MAL that i can filter animes by genres?

AniList can filter entries in your personal anime list by any of the following criteria:

Status (All, Watching, Completed, Dropped, Planning)
Format (TV, TV Short, Movie, Special, OVA, ONA, Music)
Genres (Action, Adventure, Comedy, Drama, etc.)
Country (Japan, South Korea, China, etc.)
Year (I'm assuming this means the year the anime first started airing, since Naruto only shows up if I set it to 2002)

Here's an example screenshot from my own list (I highlighted the genre filter with a red square):

Note: I'm only personally familiar with AniList and MAL. The other anime tracking sites out there (e.g. Anime-Planet, Kitsu, AniDB, etc.) might have comparable functionality as well, but I'm not familiar enough with those sites to know for sure.
I actually still use MAL as my main anime tracker, and only made an AniList account because the anime list importer on AMQ wasn't working for MAL (probably related to MAL's API shenanigans that happened after GDPR came out). Fortunately, AniList can import anime and manga lists from MAL. There's an place to do this in the "Settings" section in your profile on AniList.


Why did Tobi let Itachi remain in Akatsuki?

He let him stay because a lot members of the organization had their own motives and knew they would betray the overall effort at some point or another.  They are all missing nins which means loyalty to an organization was clearly not on the top of their list.  Many were even there just to spy or further their own goals.  It didn't matter to him as long as he can use them to accomplish immediate goals.  And everyone of them thought they would eventually outsmart, control or win over the others as they are all excellent ninjas.

Pain/Konan revealed they never intended to go along with Tobi's original plan. Tobi was aware of this at least to some extent.  There was clearly mistrust between the two.
Orochimaru was a big time defector and they always knew he was there to spy on them and had his own agenda.
Kisame only went along with Tobi once he revealed he was the real Mizukage. Otherwise it seems like he didn't really have any loyalty other than it was what he was doing at the time.
His alliance with Kabuto, he knew he couldn't trust him but partnered with him anyways because of all the reasons listed above.

He also didn't think Itachi knew as much as he did or was good as he was (a testiment to how good a ninja he was).  Also he liked the idea of having extra Sharingans hanging around in case he needed them.


You are correct: Comiket is the world's largest convention for selling/buying doujinshi, and includes cosplayers. However, it is not an anime/manga convention and as an experience is pretty much nothing like Comic Con or similar conventions to Comic Con such as Anime Expo.

Yes, Comiket only exists in Japan, as over 550,000 Japanese doujinshika (a.k.a. doujin artists) gather to sell their self-published works. It is held at Tokyo Big Site (in Tokyo) twice a year, in summer (called Natsucomi) and winter (Fuyucomi).

What Happens at Comiket

Comiket is almost entirely comprised of Japanese doujinshi circles (a circle is a group of artists) and individual doujinshika selling their doujinshi comics, light novels (in other words, fanfiction), and some "merchandise" of their artwork such as laminated cards and posters. Some of their works are based on real anime/manga series, whereas others are completely original self-published content. About 90% of these are explicit hentai. Only about 10% are non-graphic; of these, a fair percentage are doujinshi created by student clubs at Japanese universities (the quality of the art varies, but is generally well below that of what you may be used to seeing produced by prominent doujinshika).

What the rooms look like:

Aside from shopping for doujin works, there is not much else to see/do.

Although you can see cosplayers walking around doing their own shopping, many Japanese are shy, photo averse, and/or concerned about privacy, so there is a rule that you should not take any cosplayers' photo outside of the designated cosplay arena. Only when cosplayers are within the boundaries of this area are you allowed to photograph them. Even within this area, they mill about and do not necessarily pose for you to have their photos taken. This is a big difference from cosplayers at conventions outside of Japan who are often delighted to be stopped and asked for a photo. There may be a cosplay competition but I don't recall one being heavily promoted.

The line to get to the cosplayers area (in sweltering Tokyo August humidity):

There is only one room of vendors promoting licensed anime/manga/gaming titles, but 1) it is not very big, 2) almost all of the titles represented are niche (not well-known outside of Japan), 3) not much is available to purchase, since most of these booths are run by the production company or publisher to generate interest in an upcoming title (last year, most were bishoujo or bishounen titles. You will not see any Naruto, One Piece, Pretty Cure, Pokemon, or other mainstream stuff here, and definitely nothing of series that have already ended), 4) extremely few freebies are handed out at the vendor booths, and 5) none of the booths are retail stores/online shops. You can't find figures, trading cards, t-shirts, and that sort of stuff for sale here.

Although I had heard Comiket (inaccurately) described as the largest anime/manga convention in the world, in reality, the licensed anime/manga content constitutes less than 5% of the entire convention. You could go to Animefest in the Czech Republic to find more to do and buy of actual anime/manga than you'd find at Comiket.

The vendor room:

Interestingly, there is one hall that features about 20 booths of handicraft sellers who sell all manner of handmade stationery items and decorations. Most of their merchandise has no connect to doujinshi/anime/manga. I bought a squirrel clothespin magnet.

The handicraft booths:

Differences from Comic Con

Comiket differs dramatically from Comic Con in the following ways:

If you're into hardcore hentai, Comiket is your ideal convention, but if not, you will likely be quite disappointed, as there is very little else there.
Comic Con features many celebrity guests of honor, whereas Comiket celebrates doujin works, which are not technically legal according to Japanese law in terms of copyright, so although some professionals in the manga industry attend Comiket to go shopping themselves, they don't attend as advertised attractions and do not participate in events, as they shouldn't publicly condone the doujinshi market. If you spot your favorite mangaka while you're there, you shouldn't necessarily go up to talk to him/her, ask for an autograph, etc. since he/she is there as an individual in his/her own spare time.
Comiket doesn't have much in the way of planned events or competitions. Some of the vendors hold unscheduled mini-events like a talk show where interested consumers can listen to a spiel about the new product and then get a chance to win a promotional item as a sweepstakes prize. In contrast, Comic Con features

  a massive programming schedule (close to 700 separate events in 2014), [...] hands-on workshops and educational and academic programming such as the Comics Arts Conference; anime and film screenings (including a separate film festival); games; the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, the “Oscars” of the comics industry; a Masquerade costume competition with prizes and trophies; an Autograph Area; an Art Show; and Portfolio Reviews [...]

Comiket's vendors room differs in nature from, and is very small in comparison to, the exhibit halls (a.k.a. dealer's room) at Comic Con or AnimeExpo.


Why is there an episode 1A and 1B on Crunchyroll?

I found a twitter post answering this exact same question and it appears that Crunchyroll merely split the one-hour episode in two parts. You should start with A, then continue to B, and then continue chronologically.


What is the main purpose of Portgas D. Ace's death?

Out of universe reason: the capture and death of Ace seems to setup the War of the Best and ensure that Luffy unequivocally lost it. This moment of loss is like "The Ordeal" in "The Hero's Journey".  Think the Empire Strikes Back for Luke.  By having the main character lose and recover, it deepens the character and makes what comes next more meaningful.

This arc is analogous to the Loguetown arc.  Both arcs are the last ones in their particular sea before the short arc to enter the new one, reintroduce characters from earlier in that sea, and introduces some characters who will be important in the future. More importantly, they show some characters who are so overpowered compared to Luffy it is hard to see how he will beat them and has Luffy lose that fight. This shows Luffy needs to get stronger in the next sea quickly or he will die.

In Loguetown, Luffy is the one on the exection platform. He has to be saved by his daddy, loses a fight to an enemy he can't lay a finger on, and runs away. He even needed help to run away.  This teaches the audience that the Grand Line will be far harder than the East Blue.

In the War of the Best, it is worse.  Luffy plays the role of the lightning bolt to release Ace from the Execution platform but is proven to be no where near strong enough to protect Ace. Even to get that far Luffy needed the help of strangers. This clearly shows the audience what the new World will be like.  It also motivates Luffy to get stronger...once he recovers his composure.


Why is there so much reluctant sex in hentai?

Note: Some references have been excluded here for PG reasons.

There's a few layers to this question.

Firstly, this isn't a hentai-specific thing. Lots of Japanese non-animated porn contains rape. This is a cultural thing spanning more than just anime.

The main reason as some people have pointed out to you is that it sells. But let's go a little further into why that demand exists.

As you may know, Japan is suffering from increased sexless-ness and has one of the highest sexlessness rates in the world.

  In 2005, Durex, the world’s largest condom maker, conducted a Global Sex Survey (see www.durex.com/en-jp/sexualwellbeingsurvey/documents/gss2005result.pdf) involving 317,000 respondents in 41 countries. The survey found that Japanese had the least sex in the world, at 45 times a year — far less than second-from-bottom Singapore (73 times a year), and even farther from the world average (103 times a year, meaning twice a week).

The reasons of this are many - although there is no agreed consensus on the exact causes. Some of these reasons likely include:

Long Working days
Men and women have quite distinctly seperate social lives
The emergence of pornography
'Herbivore' Men

These cases are amplified by the application of surrounding businesses. Japan has a large sex industry sector - There are more than 12,000 sex-related businesses in Japan with big companies like Hitachi (devices) and many small companies too specializing in particular niches. Many of these are relevant to couple's engagements, but a significant portion of products are made for solo purchases.

Some doll adverts claim you'll never want a girlfriend again.

That's not to say that there isn't a large couple's market - in Japan there are many Love Hotels and S&M Clubs that you can visit with your partner.

On the mention of S&M, Non-standard sexual behaviour is not as taboo as it is in the West (especially America & the UK). Bondage for example is occasionally incorporated into fashion trends and there are many specialized shops for it around the country. There are many other specialized stores and services available for those who seek it. Famously, there are the infamous used underwear vending machines that have created many stories for Western newspapers.

You can also read the rest of my answer about Where the lolicon genre came from which covers that large area of fetishization.

And fetishization isn't a new thing, there are many lewd woodblock paintings from older Japan, such as Diver and Octopuses - a tentacle sex scene from 1 814.

So, non-consensual ( at first :| ) isn't particularly striking as a fetish when seen with all Japan has to offer (More.)

So from the above section we know that the Japanese have a large fetish scene anyway - and that sex rates aren't that high. But that doesn't specifically answer your question - so let's keep going. Bear with me!

Going back to Herbivore Men. These men range from actively shunning women (sometimes preferring 2D women) to being disinterested or resigned to their fate as a single man.

  As of September 2010, 36% of Japanese men between the ages of 16 and 19 perceived themselves in this way. Additionally, two surveys of single men in their 20s and 30s found that 61% and 70%, respectively, considered themselves grass-eating men.

This scarcity of female interaction can often manifest as idolizing women - which can be seen in idol obsession and other aspects of japanese culture. The appeal of rape for herbivore watchers is then in attaining something that is not attainable normally - even if it is played out onscreen rather than in real life. This is a large reason motivation behind many real life rapes aswell. There's a certain unsavory culture in many areas that blame the victim for rape situations - somewhat empathizing with the rapist. These beliefs are also contributory rationale for some rapists. Raping unfortunately isn't always restricted to acted situations on TV however, and Japan has a significant amount of (mostly unreported) rape charges. Unwarranted sexual advances can be seen in the establishment of female only carriages on rail lines after many groping allegations.

And on a more hentai-specific note, I don't know if many people who would willingly do it with a sea monster. Why are tentacles prevalent in anime? is possibly of interest.

What is this Windows Vista/7 window doing on the wall in episode 3 of Re-Kan?

It's a screenshot from LMTOOLS by Flexera Software. As it's a tool for working with a software licencing management server, I think you're right and it's out place on the wall of an average Japanese highschool.  It hard to see such a specialized tool being the subject of instruction, and the screenshot alone stuck to a wall wouldn't serve any purpose.

I'm guessing the screenshot was grabbed from the Internet somewhere. Like this one I found on as part of a FAQ entry on using the tool:


What is the context for Rimuru's joke about taking five minutes for the audience to quiet down?

What is the "joke" Rimuru is making?

As stated on 絢瀬絵里's comment and W. Are's comment, most likely it refers to a school principal/teacher.
Reading the live-reaction of Japanese fans when that specific scene was broadcasted, all referred to "school principal"

どこの校長先生だよｗｗ (which school's principal lol)
校長ネタ(´^ω^｀)ﾌﾞﾌｫwww (school principal joke lol)
校長先生みたいなことを言うなww (don't say something a school principal likes to do lol)
校長先生気取りｗｗｗｗｗ (school principal pretension lolol)
固有スキル＜校長＞ (Native Skill <School Principal>)

Another Japanese fan also wrote an article about this, in which the writer acknowledged their own experience,

「皆さんが静かになるまで5分かかりました」の元ネタは学校の先生ですね。笑
そういう先生いませんでしたか？私の周りにももれなくいたのですごく笑ってしまいました。
「皆さんが静かになるまで5分かかりました」先生は全国区なのかもしれないですね。
Looks like the origin of "It took 5 minutes for all of you to quiet down" is a school teacher. lol
Did such teachers not exist? Because without a doubt there was one around me, I laughed very hard.
These teachers are probably a national constituency.

So, this is not only an entertainment trope, but it's also a real-life reference.

If it is something from Japanese culture, why would he think the evolved goblins and direwolves from this different world would understand it?

No one knows... but considering he likes to spout his local jokes, I don't think it's too surprising for him to do this... maybe a habit as a humorous person?

Why is water coming out of the icebreaker?

At the very beginning of that video, it isn't breaking any ice, it's just pushing the small fragments aside as it moves forward. If you watched more of the same video, you will see that it does shoot water.

It is equipped with what is known as a snow-melting water-sprinkler (融雪用散水装置). It is not a device to lift the ship up, but a device to melt snow. It shoots out pumped-up sea water to melt the snow on top of the the ice, reducing friction (and cushioning) between the ice and the ship, making it easier for the ship to break the ice.

Some references I used.

The following:

Uchiha Itachi - Who performed the massacre. Was killed later by Sasuke (according to his plan), then reanimated, eventually to die again (permanently, this time).
Uchiha Sasuke - Who was spared by Itachi in hopes of making him strong. Still alive.

That's about it from the traditional ones.

Madara Uchiha - Who was dead during the massacre, was also later reanimated.
Uchiha Obito also survived the massacre, in fact, he helped Itachi execute it (as Tobi).

And also

   Sarada Uchiha, Sasuke's and Sakura's daughter, also counts for the purposes of this list.


You're gonna want to watch Trust & Betrayal, then Reflection.  While the ending is not what the author wanted, its still semi-canon and good.  It also covers some of the final arc (Jinchuu Arc) at the end of ova 1 and beginning of ova 2.  Also the fight animations and soundtrack are great. Also worth watching if for nothing else than the reinvented fights (which are more realistic) is Rurouni Kenshin: New Kyoto Arc.

Then I would go back and read the manga after where Trust & Betrayal left off, it covers a lot of details that really add to the story and overall depth to characters (like sanosuke's past)


In Unlimited Blade Works, why did Caster try to kill Shirou when she hadn't retrieved his Command Seals yet?

This answer is based purely on speculation.

However, I believe that there is one reason for Caster to do that, and one reason why that is probably not a big deal to her.

First, Archer was called there in order to save Shirou from Caster. Targeting Shirou would force Archer to move in order to protect him. That kind of tactic is also shown in Episode 15 when

   Near the end of the fight, Gilgamesh targeted Ilya to force Berserker to backtrack and protect her.

Second, even if Shirou had been hit, she would probably still have been able to extract his Command Seals. (Note that she only makes one magical shot on Shirou's location)

The scene happens a bit differently in the VN. In it, the relative locations of Shirou, Caster and Archer are less clear - the only clear things are that Shirou is in the line of fire, and Archer has to backtrack from the temple's exit to reach Shirou. In particular, it is hard to tell whether Caster specifically targeted Shirou or if she was just shooting at the area.


Who was the man that Suitengu called Master?

Went back, watched the scenes in question. I thought it was the ballet dancer from the 4th episode, would explain why you don't recognize him and why he doesn't play the prominent role you'd expect going forward.
If I'm right that makes him Katsuya Shirogane:

  One of the Euphorics sent by Suitengu to retrieve Kagura from Saiga,
  Katsuya Shirogane possesses the ability to stretch his body into any
  imaginable form (making it at least seem as if his body is made of
  rubber). Known as the Rubber Gimp, he was a ballet dancer who was
  completely obsessed with the flexibility of rubber to the point of
  breaking a young girl's arm for 'being too stiff'. His head was blown
  off by Saiga using a piece of mirror to reflect his camera shot.
  His Japanese voice actor is Takehito Koyasu and his English voice
  actor is J. Michael Tatum. - Wikipedia


There are a number of guest rooms that Kaien has for guests; I'm quite sure Zero uses one of them himself, and you see one used when Hanabusa stays behind when the Night Class goes off for their break. I'm also quite sure Maria stays in another one after the end of the first season.

The room Yuuki is in, I think is a "special" room saved just for her by Kaien (if his mentality is anything to go by). Keep in mind that Yuri might have left the campus to visit family, so it's quite possible that Yuuki only stayed in the same room with Yuri because she was there, and that the room in which she is seen in Guilty is probably her original room.

But, the reason why she's in there may be related to Kaname.

   Even Shizuka's death was a part of Kaname's plans to draw out the Senate, have them release Rido, and then have Rido killed using Zero. Kaname knew that while he wasn't around, and Yuuki's memories were still repressed, she could become a target since Rido was always targeting her. Remember that Ichiru did try to get Yuuki to drink a vial of blood while she was sleeping, but Hanabusa stopped him; hell, knowing Kaname, he probably knew what Akatsuki said to Hanabusa and knew the exact reason why he stayed and knew that Hanabusa would protect Yuuki for him.


How many mangakas use digital or traditional tools to make their manga?

From what I've seen, it is mainly the age of the mangaka that makes a difference: older mangaka stick to the traditional pencil paper, many of them young ones work quite a bit with digital. The rough copy with a pencil and the final drawings will be digital.


Was the original super saiyan a golden great ape in canon Dragon Ball?

Yamoshi was the first Super Saiyan in Dragon Ball. If you recall, way back in the Saiyan Saga, it was stated by Vegeta that it was very common for Saiyans to utilise their great ape transformation to gain an extraordinary amount of power and control the form for combat. Yamoshi obviously utilised the same transformation in Combat and when he attained the Super Saiyan transformation, he was in this state which is why his Super Saiyan transformation seems to be the golden great ape. Goku on the other hand, had his tail cut off and he managed to tap into the transformation without transforming to the great ape. So in other words, Goku managed to attain the amount of battle power necessary in his base form without the great ape transformation which is why his SSJ transformation was possibly different. Yamoshi on the other hand, probably needed the great ape transformation to attain the amount of battle power necessary to turn Super Saiyan.


Well its definitely Vados. We know that Beerus himself told that Whis is stronger them him and when we were first introduced to Vados, I think Goku asked if she strong and it was stated that some time ago she was stronger then Whis too.

Also generally, as far as we know angels are taking care of gods of destruction and training them so it implies that they are usually stronger too.

"Vados is confident of her fighting skills. When telling Goku who was stronger between her and Whis, she claims to be superior but Whis objects to this. Vados wanted to test their power after Whis stated this. She can also be rather blunt and coy at times. Vados tells Goku that by looking at Champa's and Beerus' physiques, you can tell who's stronger."

Can anyone tell me what anime this nekomimi girl is from?

This is the character Mito Mashiro, the main heroine from the visual novel/eroge Tayutama: Kiss on my Deity by studio Lump of Sugar. It has a 2009 anime adaptation, but I think the image posted is taken from the VN directly. She is the incarnation of a goddess, and her goal is to bring harmony between humans and a fictional supernatural race called Tayutai. She also falls in love with the protagonist.

Here's a similar picture from the visual novel. It's a slightly different pose, but I think it's clear that it's still her.


How did the first vampire come into existence?

The oldest known vampire is alucard. He came to be a vampire by drinking the blood of the fallen from a battlefieled thus dropping his belief in god and turning into an unholy creature.


Could Edward regain the ability to perform alchemy after the events in Brotherhood?

Theoretically, he could.  Since all alchemy is based on the idea of equivalent exchange you should be able to trade something of equal value for something else.  So far though, the only thing we know that is equivalent in value to a person's alchemical gate is a human life (from when Ed traded his gate for Alphonse's body and soul).

So to get his gate back he would need a couple things.  First would be some way to get to the Truth so the exchange could be made.  Al could provide this since he still has his gate and knowledge from his encounter with the Truth.  Second, someone else would need to help perform the exchange.  Since Ed can't use alchemy at all, someone else would need to perform the transmutation.  While it is unknown if someone else can sacrifice something to re-create someone else's gate, I am assuming it is possible.  Nothing in the show has shown that a successful transformation cannot be reversed.

The last part is the toll to be exchanged for the gate.  Given Ed's character, all the struggles they went through to avoid using philosopher's stones / human transmutation and the character growth that led to him being ok with sacrificing his gate in the first place, this becomes the biggest sticking point.  Ed won't do it.  Nor would he allow someone to do it for him.

TL/DR: It seems to be possible but Ed would never let it happen.  Life is too precious to him for him to allow it.


Does Nao ever realize that Pastel Ink is Ink?

By the end of the series, this is still unclear, perhaps deliberately, but the evidence points a bit towards Nao having realized.

After episode 10, Ink can no longer transform into Pastel Ink, but she decides to cosplay (poorly) as Pastel Ink anyway in episodes 11 and 12 and help Nao with his studies. Mio, who had not seen Pastel Ink before this, immediately recognized her as Ink. However, when Nao sees Ink wearing this outfit, he first calls her "Ink" but then immediately changes it to "Pastel Ink-sensei", the same way he called her before. Mio is annoyed by her brother's apparent cluelessness at this. However, given the context of the scene, it's also quite possible that this change was out of consideration for Ink.

Furthermore, at the end of episode 12 (the last episode to have this Nao and Ink), Nao also says ambiguous lines to Ink, to the effect of "I haven't seen Pastel Ink since then, but I'm sure if I ever needed her help she would show up again." Given that he was talking to Ink, this could be an acknowledgement that he knows Ink was Pastel Ink in a way that remains ambiguous. He could still just be clueless, but the way this statement is phrased, it seems like he's thanking her in a way that doesn't give away the fact that he knows she is Pastel Ink. Nao's actions in all of these scenes are of a slightly different character than his interactions with Ink and Pastel Ink in the first 10 episodes.

Exactly when he realized is difficult to determine. There is one scene earlier in the series in which he sees Pastel Ink and has a vision of Ink. There are also several scenes between the two in which he seems like he's going to say something important, but backs out at the last moment and says something relatively trivial. At any of these points, it's possible that Nao is actually aware that the two are the same, but it's also possibly just a running gag that he is clueless.

With that said, there's nothing in the series which explicitly refutes the idea that Nao is just incredibly clueless and never realized even after episodes 11 and 12. But at the very least, it seems like a reasonable interpretation that by episodes 11 and 12, Nao is aware that Pastel Ink is Ink, and that he's only playing along to avoid upsetting her. There unfortunately just doesn't seem to be any more definitive statement that can be made based on canon sources here.


What does this Death Note rule regarding visual acuity mean?

3.6 in Japanese measurement is the equivalent of 72/20 in American measurement.
That's considered to be Excellent eyesight.

It's not that you see 3.6 times further, you are able to distinguish, 3.6 times more detail in the image you get (read, 3.6 times smaller details).


Can Sharingan user have a pair of normal set of eyes transplant into them?

I suppose he should be able to see but no longer be able to use the Sharingan. It is not explicitly known what activates the Sharingan in an eye. But it is highly likely that it is hard coded in an Uchiha eye balls, since using those eyes, a person who is not from the Uchiha clan is able to use the Sharingan. Just like Kakashi and Danzo for instance.

From the same logic, an Uchiha should be able to see using normal eyes from another person but no longer be able to use the Sharingan. The ability is hard coded inside the eyes. The weakening of the sight in case of excessive use of Mangekyo Sharingan would also be nullified in case of normal eye transplants. Just like a normal eye transplant to a blind person.


Does Touma Kazusa love Haruki in White album 2 anime and visual novel?

Yes, Kazusa loves Haruki deeply.

Before answering the question I must say I would recommend reading my other answer to Setsuna's love for Haruki as it helps understanding this answer better (the game is a love triangle after all):

How much does Setsuna Ogiso love Haruki in White Album 2 anime and visual novel?

Regarding your question about why she runs away it is because of Haruki's indeciveness. Even so she tells him not to say anything to Setsuna about them sleeping together because she wants him to be happy with her. She also says in the visual she says she hates betrayals so she hates herself.

After having read the visual novel some of the resons that prove Haruki is the person Touma loves the most are:

She'll lie, cheat, destroy anything and betray anybody. Kasuza would gladly never play music again if it meant that she could have Haruki. In Coda Kazusa shows she would gladly destroy her hand [ending her career as a pianist] if it meant having Haruki.
Once Kazusa left Japan in Introductory Chapter Setsuna told Haruki she could be Touma's replacement. After desperately pursuing him for 3 years and crying every time she failed Setsuna finally gets to start dating him. The next 2 years with him made her become as happy as she had ever been.
Once those 2 years have passed Kazusa returns to Japan. After lots of suffering without Haruki she's more determined this time and in her route Kazusa ruins Setsuna's life by proxy by forcing her fiancee Haruki to break up with her and telling him to move with her to Europe.
She wants Haruki to be happy: In introductory chapter after Haruki enters an official relationship with Setsuna, Kazusa pretends to be happy so as not to worry him. Haruki's late confession to Kazusa makes her reveal that having Haruki at hand yet never be able to have him is a nightmare for her. In Coda Kazusa admits she can never fall in love with someone other than Haruki, that she will always love him and that having him is her dream.

In the game if Haruki 2-times both girls then Kazusa runs away because only Setsuna can heal his heart:

  No! You'll become the most miserable!;
    Only she can heal you, I cannot.

On the other hand, if he properly breaks up with Setsuna and he will have no scars then both of them get married and alienate from Setsuna. Kazusa says:

  I have become the happiest girl in the world;
    It is the best thing that ever happened in my life. Truly

At the same time she also says that even though it was at the expense of causing  her friend to become the "most miserable girl in the world" (obviously Setsuna) she still feels tremendous happiness.


Where does the idea of "Episode 0" originate from?

Based on a google search for site:myanimelist.net "episode 0", we find the following episodes:

Candy Boy Episode 0 (a pilot, airing 6 months before Candy Boy)
Nichijou Episode 0 (a pilot, airing a month before Nichijou)
Haganai Episode 0 (a pilot, airing a few weeks before Haganai)
One Piece: Strong World Episode 0 (a prequel to One Piece: Strong World)
Koroshiya 1: Episode 0 (not sure about this one - Japanese Wikipedia says that it's about Ichi's past, so I guess it's a prequel?)
Hakuouki Hekketsuroku Episode 0 (a recap of the first season, and hence a sort of "prequel" to the second season, which aired a week later)
Ichigo Mashimaro Episode 0 (not sure about this one; it may be worth noting that it's called "Prologue" rather than "Episode 0" in Japanese)
UN-GO Episode 0 - Inga-ron (a prequel to UN-GO)
Also, Kyousougiga Episode 0 is a recap of the Kyousougiga ONAs, which are sort of pilot-y with respect to the Kyousougiga cour-length anime

There's a lot of prequels and pilots1 here. Prequel episodes typically occur chronologically before "episode 1" in terms of show timeline, while pilot episodes typically occur chronologically before "episode 1" in terms of the real world, and so it makes sense for either a pilot or a prequel to be numbered "episode 0".

1 By "pilot", I mean any short piece that airs before a longer anime, whether or not it's a pilot in the US television sense, so this label includes teasers, animation test runs, etc.


This is probably not explained in the manga, because the manga is... well, not great.

Kaburagi Shisei's eyes are mentioned in the novel, though. On page 666 of the one-volume edition (book V, chapter 3; right before Hino Koufuu is slain), we have:

  切れ長の非常に大きな目は、澄みきっていた。顔の造作も整っており、ハンサムと言ってもいいくらいだ。その異様な眼球を別にすればだが。

  鏑木康星氏には、片目に二つずつ、合わせて四つの虹彩があり、薄闇の中で、ぎらぎらと琥珀色に輝いていた。これは鏑木家に代々伝わる特異な遺伝的特徴で、一般人とは隔絶した呪力の証なのだという。

Roughly translated,

  His unusually-large, almond-shaped eyes were limpid. His face was so well-sculpted, I might even have called him handsome - save for his bizarre eyes.

  Kaburagi Shisei had four irises - two in each eye. They shone through the darkness, glowing the color of amber. That peculiarity was genetic in origin, and had been passed down the Kaburagi lineage for generations. They were a testament to the fact that his cantus was on an entirely different level than that of the common people.

So I guess it's just some sort of genetic weirdness in his family, probably a benign phenotypic side effect to whatever mutation makes people of his family particularly powerful PK users.


What's the title of this song from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi 2?

Deleted previous answer. You can always look at the edit history if you want to see it again. :)

Is this the scene when the piano bit plays for a while? If it is then it is actually part of the ending song.

I am not too sure why they decided to play it at that moment before the ending song but I am fairly certain it's part of the ending song.

FYI ;): If you listen really closely, that same tune is actually part of the ending song (Aikotoba) itself at 1:27 (it's actually part of the ending song).


Gilgamesh could possibly be fit in any class mainly thanks to all the items he has in the Gate of Babylon. He was quite possible chosen by the Holy Grail to fill the Archer Class as his personality would fit a very high level of Independent Action, the Wikia page also says:

  He is able to easily ignore his Master's orders, making it possible to stroll around without making his Master aware of his whereabouts. The only way to command him is through the use of Command Spells, but his disposition that does not even contain an ounce of respect for his Master makes utilizing them idly a bad move.

It should be noted that the Servant Classes except the special classes (like Ruler, Avenger, Funny Vamp) allows a hero to be classified under more than 1 if they display the potential to be summoned as a different class. With the Archer Class, Heracles and Lu Bu were both summoned as Berserk but could be summoned as Archer, while Karna was summoned as a Lancer

Another example is Archer in the 5th Holy Grail War. The weapon he mainly uses in fact a pair of swords Kanshou and Bakuya, which we see him use for the first time during the first night as he fought Lancer. This annoys Lancer because he figured out Archer's Class but he was skilled with sword. Archer’s Bow is mainly just a normal Bow he projects and uses weapons like Caladbolg II as ammunition.

Though with that said, after the 3rd Holy Grail War and Avenger's corruption of the Great Holy Grail - the main engine to the ritual, the system for assigning classes to heroes may have been damaged. Both the 4th and 5th War's Archers didn't clearly fit the Archer Class, and normally only the Hassan-i-Sabbah should have been summoned as Assassin in the Fuyuki System, however Caster was able to summon Sasaki Kojiro.


Series where girl will creep people out whenever she tries to smile

According to the information you gave, i think the manga you looking for is a webcomic name ReLIFE

The female MC you talking about is Chizuru Hishiro, and here is her lovely smile


What arcs of Shingeki No Kyojin will the live-action movie cover?

First off, there are a number of minor departures from the source material, such as Mikasa's general personality and the setting of the world, but this is to be expected - all adaptions have a degree of director's license, and the main bones of the series are still easily visible.

"This is not the Attack on Titan you saw on the comic book page. This is not the Attack on Titan you saw animated on television" [...]
"It takes place in the future of our world, with remnants of warplanes and weaponry peppered across the countryside. Its great walls were built by human hands..."
Taken from Anime News Network

The first movie begins at the same point as the anime series, with the breach of the outer wall, and covers the majority of the main points up to and including the first battle in the Trost District:

Eren, Mikasa and Armin's friendship and discussing what is outside the walls
Eren falling out with the Garrison soldiers in his home city
The Colossal Titan appearing and kicking a hole in the wall of the Shiganshina District (Monzen in the movie)
Signing up to the Survey Corps. with the ideals of revenge
Travelling to and fighting in the Trost District with the other graduated recruits from Eren's training squad (Omotemachi in the movie)
Eren saving Armin, but being swallowed and having his arm bitten off in the process
Eren shifting into a titan from inside the one he was eaten by, and emerging in front of Mikasa
Eren (in Titan form) fighting the Titans inside the city
An unconscious but fully healed Eren emerges from his defeated Titan form, signifying the end of the first movie

Additionally, a more detailed plot summary can be read here, along with other information on the film.

Therefore, the following arcs are covered in the first film:

The 'Fall of Shiganshina' arc
The '104th Trainees Squad' arc
And approximately half of the 'Battle for Trost' arc


This question is a little open ended, I could not find any material supporting a definite answer. One could surmise that since Gohan is one of the last Saiyans he doesn't want to completely wipe out the race. It is already understood at this point in time Vegeta did harbor a lot of anger towards Goku and if that would have been Goku in a weakened state he probably would have killed him. Vegeta maybe saw no challenge in killing a child Saiyan or maybe he thought Gohan could come to be a potential challenger one day and would rather wait for that fight then kill him right there.There are a lot of answers that could be generated for this question. Until hard supporting material can be found it can really be anyone's opinion as to why he didn't kill him.


Why was it the Junker that proved to Yumemi that she was "malfunctioning"?

Is this a plot hole? Or, perhaps, a defect of the anime adaptation?

Both. Adaptation-induced plot hole.

The flashback with the old guy is anime-only. No such scene is in the VN and Junker never heard about robot like Yumemi.


Is Nadia voluntarily inspired by Castle in the Sky?

According to Toshio Okada's (co-founder of GAINAX) 1996 interview with Animerica:

ANIMERICA: Wasn’t NADIA’s story originally by Hayao Miyazaki? Is that the real reason it seems to show so much of his influence?
Okada: Yeah. The original story was going to be called “Around the World in 80 Days by Sea”. That was Mr. Miyazaki’s plan, fifteen years ago. And the Toho people held onto it, and showed it to Yoshiyuki Sadamoto and told him, “You make it.” [...] NADIA was a very hard experience. At first, Sadamoto was supposed to be the director. But after two episodes, he said “Okay, that’s enough for me!” and went back to character design and animation direction, and Anno took over.

So Nadia's original story was by Miyazaki, and it seems very likely that that original idea was part of Castle in the Sky. That is claimed at least by nausicaa.net, but that claim is not sourced (and all google results for "Around the World in 80 Days by Sea" is ultimately sourced from one of these two pages). However, the timing certainly makes it plausible - Around the World in 80 Days by Sea would have been first written ca 1981, while Castle in the Sky was originally released in 1986.


Old mecha anime with white winged aliens

I actually revisited this several years ago because I remember the scene with the flowers. The show is called Tosho Daimos, or "Star Birds" in the English localization.

  It is earth's most desperate hour. It is a time for heroes. And it is the ultimate battle for freedom in this rocket-fueled animated spectacular!

  The Starbirds have invaded planet Earth. It seems our only hope lies with Kelly- a daring young starfighter who pilots an indestructible cyborg robot. But wait! A growing force of Starbird rebels are fighting to overthrow the oppressive rule of their King Oban. And together with Kelly, they join forces to rid the galaxy of King Oban's treacherous rein so that the Starbirds and the people of Earth may one day be free.

I haven't seen the entirety of the TV series, which is 44 episodes, but I've seen an edited version of the TV series released as a movie on VHS that's dubbed in English. I'm not sure if this is the same thing as what Anime News Network lists as the "Tosho Daimos movie".

The scene with the flowers occurs in the movie around 30 minutes in:

The petals are pink on top and yellow underneath, as the kid pointed out.

"Kelly" and "Erica" in a field of flowers.


No, suppressing your power level does not exhaust you.

The Z-Fighters keep their power levels low for two reasons:

To hide their true strength from their opponents
To be able to raise their power levels extremely high when a fight does break out.

It's never stated (as far as I know) whether suppressing your power level saves a significant amount of energy. It's also never stated whether it takes energy to do this, either. However, based on the fact that the Z-Fighters go about their day-to-day lives with suppressed power levels, I'd argue it takes little to no stamina to maintain this, and may potentially save your ki reserves (though this is speculation).

I would argue, though, that learning to suppress your power level gives you a greater ability to manipulate your own ki, and therefore raise and lower it as needed. For an example of this, look at Ginyu's fight with Goku.

According to the wiki, Goku's max power level when he fought the Ginyu Force without Kaio-Ken was 90,000. It was 5,000 when supressed. He used this deceptively low power level to decimate the Ginyu Force, since they constantly underestimated him. However, when Captain Ginyu managed to take over Goku's body, his max power level was merely 23,000. I would speculate that in addition to the fact that this was a new body, Ginyu had no training in manipulating his own power level, so he could not even begin to approach Goku's normal strength without Kaio-Ken.

In summary, suppressing your power level has no notable disadvantages, and allows the user to both conceal their true strength and to utilize said strength to its maximum potential.


How does Erza get her armor and weapons ready for Requip?

Lets see what wiki has to say about this.

  Requip is a type of Spatial Magic and Erza's signature form of Magic, over which she possesses great mastery. It is a type of Magic that allows her to swap weapons, armor and clothes at will. Her particular form of Requip is called The Knight.

Lets look at what spatial magic means.

  This Magic revolves around the manipulation of space, which can allow the user to harass the asset for battle, travel, accessing alternate dimensions, and so on. This Magic is also used in conjunction for summoning concrete material or extraterrestrial beings to their stead, such as being able to conjure up armor and weapons or allow Celestial Spirits access to the human world.

This means her ability is to manipulate that space. So you're wrong to suggest she can't put items in that space.
This means Erza can store, as well as take back armors, swords etc using her spatial magic. Her Armors disappear after being damaged supposedly back to the same space.

I would like to address that the size of the pocket Dimension is limited. So Erza can infact put weapons and the rest are stored in her house. Again from the wiki

  Erza owns over 100 different types of armor, and over 200 different types of weapons.
  This Magic allows the user to store weapons and armors in pocket dimensions and summon them during battle.[...]
  The only known user, Erza, stated that there is a limit to how much the pocket dimension can store, and as a result, she leaves some of her armors in her room in Fairy Hills.

I don't know how Erza creates new or repairs damaged armors. From a different question it was answered

  Erza is an user of requip magic, in other words, she can summon weapons and armors during the battles, but she does not create them.Answer Source

How to summarise the whole Naruto franchise without giving a lot of spoilers?

If I wanted to summarize Naruto, I would have to summarize the ideas. You don't want to give out specifics like who dies, any identity reveals, or for that matter just about anything revealed in Shippuden.

"Naruto is a boy who, on the day he was born, coincidentally had a giant demon fox spirit attack his village. Using a special kind of energy called chakra, a powerful individual sealed this demon fox inside of Naruto to protect the village. Naruto's parents however die in this attack, and he resorts to troublemaking for attention, as well as aspires to become the Hokage, the leader of the village, for people to acknowledge him. To do so, he must become a great ninja, someone who uses their chakra to perform special techniques, such as manipulating the elements to spit fireballs, raise walls of rock, blow gusts of wind that can slice through trees, manipulate the body, or create illusions and trick the opponent. The story of Naruto is about how he grows from a 12 year old low class weak ninja with his friends/classmates and their teachers, including his training to become stronger, personal struggles as well as the ones with the other villages, and fights with strong opponents. It also has his internal conflict with the demon inside of him as well as his attempts to be acknowledged by people as he grows in strength. It constantly has you wondering how things are going to turn out as strategy in combat is critical as they often fight enemies more powerful than they are, and must come up with the strategy to get ahead. Most people find themselves rooting for Naruto as they watch him do what seems impossible as due to his life as an orphan, as well has his overall complete lack of talent in all but a few specific things, has made him vow to NEVER give up, ever, and allows him to see the truth behind his opponents. Death is there for all sides, but it is not always the only solution because of Naruto."

The idea of that kind of summary is to bring up every important idea without saying what actually happens. It's important to mention death in some way, as well as his lack of talent and how he is still able to become strong, but that his power is not his ultimate strength, in Naruto, the world is a bad place, full of wrong, and he is trying to change that in a way no one else ever could.

If it is interesting enough to consider watching a few episodes, then, unfortunately, the best summary of the entire series up until the war is the entire ordeal with Zabuza, the first real opponent they fight. It's probably quite a few episodes in, as it has been a long time since I was back there, but it really summarizes everything until the war in Shippuden. If they liked the Zabuza arc, they will most likely like everything up to at least the war, where things change a lot, because it's a war, and also really far into the series.


What motivation did Hidan, Kakuzu, Deidara, Sasori have for joining the Akatsuki?

As for the reasons, most of their background stories weren't clearly provided, so I am going to have make my answer with their character portrayal.

Hidan - As for why he would've joined Akatsuki, I can only surmise that it's due to his obsession to fight and kill (primarily on the aspect he was religious, he wanted to give more sacrifices to his god Jashin) and he could've seen that as bread and butter stuff of what Akatsuki was doing. He probably would've joined to work for free just for the killing.
Kakuzu - Surely money. There is no motivation other than money for him, which was shown clearly in his fight with team Asuma. That same obsession for money in fact even got him killed.
Deidara/Sasori - Their ambitions to join Akatsuki is quite vague to me. For Deidara, he was young and wanted to make a name for his art by blowing up stuffs, so Itachi challenged him to a fight, saying that if he was defeated, he would have to join Akatsuki. He probably ended up joining because of that. As for Sasori, he, being a rogue ninja like all the others, probably thought it would be safer to be along with fellow rogue ninjas.
Orochimaru - One of Orochimaru's ambition was to live for eternity to learn all the techniques. He knew the organization had stronger members and probably joined the organization to learn more about others and their skills. It's probably also because of his hate he had for Konoha.


Why didn't the Saiyajins raise up their power energy?

There are multiple things against this.

It needs a close death experience to gain power and they need to be healed afterwards, as Dende wasn't on earth at this time and they surely don't want to eat all the beans. It would take a lot of time to regain their full strength and they could die trying of course.
Vegeta and Goku would never use something like that to gain power because of their pride.
They might have underestimated the cyborgs
Future Trunks was not in this timeline on that time
Gohan was a kid at this time and he "had to study". His mother would have never allowed him to be beaten half dead and recovered just to increase power.

   6. Future Trunks might not be aware of this fact, since when he lived Goku and Vegeta were already dead and Gohan might never told him that.

As Exception from 2:

   Vegeta did this on Namek cause he hated Frieza, he destroyed the planet Vegeta and killed nearly all the Sajyans. (As exception of 2.)

Those are the reasons against, it in my opinion. There might be more, and some might not be right, but I hope you can use this answer.


Have the Mugiwara pirates ever cashed in a Pirate for a bounty reward?

Yes, Zorro received money and lived this way though this was not his intention or occupation, he simply wanted to fight strong guys.

The bounties are based on the level of threat that person is for the world government.

Also if you have a bounty on your head and you kill or defeat another wanted pirate probably wouldn't be a good idea to take it to the marine force and ask for the prize cause you're actually turning yourself in.


Who has the highest official Dragon Ball Z power level?

I'm not sure how credible you consider the Dragon Ball Wiki, but they have compiled a list of power levels of most characters mentioned throughout the series, including GT.

The highest power levels in that list would be the old Supreme Kai's at at most 120 billion, while the next largest power level would be Gogeta SSJ4 at 25 billion.

See here for a more exhaustive list.


i'm not sure on watching the series online but you can buy .hack//SIGN, .hack//Legend of the Twilight and .hack//ROOTS on Madman. .hack//G.U. Trilogy can be brought from Hanabee but it pales in comparison to the game in my opinion. all of these are Australian so they are in Region 4 but you should be able to find them on your local distribution site(s) but it wont be a problem if you have a region free player.

.hack//Terminal Disk is a special that came with .hack//G.U Pre-orders which details the events between the last episode of .hack//SIGN (After the Game) and the first episode of .hack//ROOTS (before the .hack//G.U games) but ignores most of what happens in .hack//Legend of the Twilight, recapping the original games, Aura's disappearance, Project G.U, the R.A Program which destroyed most of The World and the start of The World:R2. i did have a playlist of them on youtube but the videos have been deleted

.hack//Liminality came with the original .hack Games but i didn't get the final episode when i got the last game so i had to download it, each episode follows in line with the game it was released, the last episode being set during the final battle (the server Helba set up to help combat Corbenik).

.hack//Gift should be included with the .hack//Sign fatpack i linked to likewise with .hack//G.U. Returner with .hack//ROOTS. gift is a weird OVA but Returner is like the last episode of SIGN where it concludes the games.

the .hack//G.U games have Online Jack in the game aswell along with a number of 4Koma episodes along with i think a couple of episode of .hack//ROOTS (never watched them since i had them on DVD)

i have no information on .hack//The Movie or Thanatos Report however according to your wikipedia link both are with .hack//Versus game, the first one being hybrid with the game while the second one being unlocked from gameplay much like Online Jack.

SIGN, LotT and ROOTS are a bit old (over a decade) and quite sure was before the concept of streaming videos so i'm not sure where you could view them. VIZ Media or Aniplex might have them i'm not sure as i tend opt for owning the DVDs and wtahcing them in my own time.


Why do most Naruto villains end up not just being bad guys to be hated?

because bad guys never own up to their actions but instead try and justify their actions as being just, take this example

bad guy tries to destroy the world

bad guy: humanity has been slowly killing the planet for eons

hero: but that give you no right to destroy it

bad guy: if you saw a man dying from causes beyond his control and there was no hope in saving him, would you not want to end his life and ease his suffering?

hero: and what about all the innocent people living in the world

bad guy: is anyone truly innocent, every human uses technology that harms the planet, they know what they are doing is hurting the planet are doing yet do nothing top change but instead leave it to their leaders to make the change who instead squabble amongst themselves and when one takes the initiative others fear of their separation from the collective and brand them as evil and wage war at them harming the planet more

hero: but humans can change

bad guy: correct but only to save your own skin and never for the sake of the planet that sustains your destructive nature at the cost of it's own health

so in Naruto where the villains explain their actions and it seems as a conflict of opinion it's still just your standardized bad guy trying to explain that his actions are right and the good guy has no right in stopping him


In chapter 436, Zeref mentioned that he must have been cursed by Ankhseram, the God of life and death, for researching resurrection magic (R-System, Eclipse Gate, and later Summoning Magic). One of the side-effects of this curse was that he became immortal.

As mentioned by Denslat, this is indeed metaphorical. At this point it is not proven whether a deity exists in the Fairy Tail world. As far as we know, the curse was cast upon those magicians that had messed around with incomplete versions of Grand Magic (or Black Magic, depending on the translation). Zeref for using resurrection magic.

   Mavis for using (Fairy) Law. FT 449, FT Zero 11

So whether a real deity was upset or not, the people in the Fairy Tail world, call this curse the curse of Ankhseram, the God of life and death, regardless of its existence.


Does "Evening Get" correspond to a real-life television show?

Yes, ゆうがたGet! (Yuugata Get!, Evening Get!) is a real-life TV show.
It's broadcasted by TV. Shinshu  located in Nagano prefecture since April 5, 1999. Based on the broadcast schedule list on the Wikipedia, the show started at 4:30 on the weekdays in:

April 1999 - September 2000 under the name of 「陽司★美恵子 ゆうがたGet!」, and
March 2010 - March 2014 under the name of 「情報ワイド ゆうがたGet!」

As already mentioned on the question, Ryuta Mine is also a real-life person. Based on the list of appearance on the Wikipedia, he appeared once every month on Wednesday in:

「情報ワイド ゆうがたGet!」, and
「ゆうがたGet!」

which means the story took place in between 2010-2014 instead of 1999-2000.

Regarding the episode of Mino Monta's son, I couldn't find the specific date/episode. but it's probably regarding

the arrest on 13 September [2013] of his 31-year-old son, Yuto Minorikawa (御法川 雄斗), who was charged with stealing a man's bag on the street in Tokyo.
Wikipedia - Monta Mino

Considering the publication month of chapter 5, the episode (if it existed) should be broadcasted before August 2012.

P.S. it might be possible that the author took the events that had occurred recently at that time since the manga was serialized in 2012-2015.


Is the identity of Rin's father confirmed?

Manga spoilers ahead:

   In chapter 40 of the manga, Rin requests her family register from city hall to learn about her mother. Daikichi intercepts the response letter and after confronting Rin about it, agrees to schedule a meeting with her mother. Meeting her, Rin learns that her mother was the housekeeper at Souichi's place. In chapter 54 Rin's mother reveals, that Rin is not Souichi's daughter  (he just adopted her). Daikichi already knew this after reading the will of Souichi while Rin was still a child.

More spoilers about the implications of this and ending of the manga, not directly answering the question. You probably don't want to know if you liked the pure ending of the anime:

   Rin told her mother that she likes Daikichi. This is what triggered the mother's response about Souichi not being the father. Upon learning that Rin shares no blood ties with Daikichi, she decides to marry him. Which he accepts to after asking her to at least wait for her graduation (2 years later).


Difference between emission and conjuring

Emmiters are Nen users who are adept at separating their Auras from their bodies and using it for a variety of functions. Some examples being Leorio (who could emit his aura into creating a warmhole for carrying attacks). Emitters are also capable of transforming the separated Aura to look like certain shapes and objects. Pokkle for example, (renowned for using his Nen to take the shape of bow and arrow which he could use for offense).

While Conjurers on the other hand, have the ability to create physical objects using Aura. More adept Conjurers can even create laws and principles which are affixed to the object manifested from their Aura. An example being Kurapika's conjured "Dowsing chains" which were created with a principle of detecting lies and Aura.

What is Archer's background in Unlimited Blade Works?

He's Shirou from the future. Does he not remember the events of this war?

In the version of the war that Archer experienced as a Master, Rin summoned someone else as a servant (still an Archer-class Servant, but we're never told who). Archer has no experience of having met his future-self.

I forget where - maybe it's some kind of side material or maybe it's Last Episode or something - but we are explicitly told that Archer vividly remembers having summoned Saber when he went through the war (this is something that happens in every timeline, because of Avalon). Something to the effect of "even were he to die a thousand times, he would never forgot Saber's radiance" or some similar schlock.

The thing Archer pulls at the beginning where he claims not to remember who he is is initially because Rin genuinely did mess up the summoning, but he regains his memory relatively quickly and maintains the facade of memory loss for some time afterwards.

  How did Shirou die?

Archer explicitly mentions in episode 19 or 20 that he was scapegoated by one of the people he saved, and was executed shortly thereafter.

  There is a scene in which a giant glowing ball absorbs Shirou (like some sort of pact), so I assume that's when he became a Heroic Spirit too. Did he die at that point? (so he killed himself)

Yes, that's when Archer (then-Shirou) "contracted with the world" (to use the parlance) and became a Counter Guardian. He only died later.

  So Archer wants to kill Shirou because he regrets his decision of becoming a Heroic Spirit? Why does he regret it? Because Kiritsugu was right? (that you have to kill people to save others).

Archer regrets having become a Heroic Spirit because he did so by becoming a Counter Guardian (as opposed to by becoming an actual Hero). What this means is that he gets dispatched to situations where mankind is destroying itself. He stops mankind from destroying itself by killing the people who are the cause, generally after they've already done their damage.

Implicitly, this does mean that Kiritsugu was right, though I don't think that Archer is specifically bothered by the mere fact that Kiritsugu was right.

  Why does Archer have Rho Aias from the Trojan War?

This is somewhat mysterious. The implication is that Archer must have been dispatched to the Trojan War at some point (in his capacity as a Counter Guardian), where he must have seen Ajax using his shield and copied it.

  Is this Archer the same Archer from Fate Stay/Night? In other words, is the Archer from the original series also Shirou from the future?

By "Archer from the original series", do you mean "Archer from the 2006 DEEN anime"? If so, yes - that Archer is also Shirou from the future.


What is the song that plays when Muramasa charges at Ichigo?

It's Shadow's Masquerade.

The first usage of the soundtrack is in episode 88 of the Season 4: Bount arc. The music itself is the track #16 from BLEACH Original Soundtrack 2.


How much of the manga plot does the anime of Aku no Hana cover?

The anime being only 13 episodes long covers up to chapter 20 (page 101 in volume 4, with chapter 20 being the second chapter in this volume). In the second part of the 13th episode we see a preview of the next season and the moments shown are mainly from the 5th and 6th volume.
{Source: I own all of the translated volumes and have watched the anime}
Aku no Hana (The Flowers of Evil) original manga by Shuzo Oshimi was recently concluded at 11 volumes.

As for the second part of your question, the anime staff have taken quite a few liberties in the direction of the anime. Major plot points are of course included in the anime adaptation. The main plot is the same, but as with many anime adaptations some scenes were cut off, others were a little changed. What is more, some reactions from the characters are different in some scenes, which gives the viewer a slightly different image of the character. I can't give you specific differences though (which as I said don't alter the plot, so no worries there), without possibly spoiling the story for you, as you didn't mention how many episodes of the anime you have watched.

Also, a special episode at the end of volume three isn't included in the anime adaptation and I doubt it will be, except perhaps as an OVA, as it is a small story about Nakamura and another guy back in middle school.

One major difference, irrelevant to the plot, is the artwork, which is absolutely different, and as a result the "feel" of the characters and the atmosphere that both versions give to the audience/reader are different.

Knowing that this shouldn't be part of my answer, I would however strongly recommend reading the great manga that Aku no Hana is.


After Bam's test, headon asks Rachel that if she fulfills his request then he will allow Rachel to move to the next floor. What was headon's request to rachel is not known till now. As per wiki headon did conspire with Yu Han Sung so that Rachel can move up the tower. However, it is unknown if headon conspired with Yu Han Sung out of his own interest or because of his request or about any other reason. Further it is unknown whether headon knows that Yu Han Sung is part of FUG or not.


How come Mokarin's mom is so good with guns?

Momoka's skill is possibly hereditary. Kazue Sonokawa (her mother) possibly has a natural affinity with weapons just as Momoka does. She's possibly seen a bit of action when she was younger too and has the lessons of experience as an advantage.

Another contributing factor is that Kazue is an adult. Adults in Japan are allowed weild more powerful weapons than juveniles' airsoft guns. Adolescents can only use guns which are limited to a kinetic energy of 0.135 Joules. However, adults can use guns with 1 Joule - which could be why her bullets seemingly shot through the floor and also gave her an advantage over Momoka

Reference.

(It was probably just the mangaka's decision though)


Which chapter should I start on in OPM Webtoons?

Short answer: I would suggest you resume reading at Chapter 42 of the Webcomic, which is just after the conclusion of the Boros arc, because while the next several chapters will be familiar from the manga the deviations start to mount up pretty quickly.

As YLombardi indicates, this of course heavily depends on what currently constitutes the "latest release".  It is also important to note that the manga starts deviating pretty heavily from the webcomic, though currently not in ways that fundamentally alters canon (though it's getting close).  Most of the changes involve certain fights being extended and given extra details, as well as giving the non-essential heroes some extra exposition and screen time in other fights.  The most recent manga release (as of my typing this) is concerned with a tournament that never occurs in the webcomic, though this tournament is just part of introducing the two major atagonist powers for the next arc; both such powers and said arc are part of the webcomic.

I will try now to point out when certain major arcs begin/end for the webcomic, up to the current status of the manga (said tournament storyline is closing up).  Anyone completely unfamiliar with the series will, of course, find lots of spoilers in the subsequent.

First chapters, introducing Saitama and his fights against Vaccine Man and the brothers, his "origin story" fight against the crab man, his dream, etc. are essentially identical.
Saitama vs. Ordinary Mosquito, and introduction of Genos: Webcomic Chapters 5-6. Essentially identical between versions.
House of Evolution: Webcomic Chapters 7-11.  Essentially identical between versions.
Paradise baldies and introduction of Sonic and Licenseless Rider (Mumen Rider): Webcomic Chapters 12-15. Essentially identical between versions.
Joining the Heroes Association, introduction of Sneck: Webcomic Chapters 15-16. Essentially identical, but the manga/anime shows a few more tests Saitama does and gives us a better idea of where the tests are held.
Saitama vs. Genos: Webcomic Chapter 17.  Essentially identical between versions.  This is one of the first cases where Murata, the manga artist, has a lot of fun with just plain drawing.  An entire chapter of the manga is basically spent with Murata creating an intimately drawn flip-book for this fight.  The anime basically could have just scanned in the pages for the Murata version of this chapter and called it a scene.  The details of the fight are the same, other than that the landscape is not shown as obliterated by Saitama's partial punch in the webcomic (nor is any of the damage that Genos did shown).
Genos moves in, second encounter with Sonic, Tank Top Tiger introduced: Webcomic Chapters 18-19.
Saitama vs. Meteor; Silver Fang, Metal Knight, Tank Top Black Hole introduced: Webcomic Chapters 20-23. Essentially identical between versions, with a few minor differences, mostly concerned with Genos having an upgrade available.  Murata has fun in the manga again, basically animating (in color) Metal Knight's arrival.  The anime again could have pretty much just scanned in that chapter and called it a scene.
Sea King arc: Webcomic Chapters 24-31.  Essentially identical between versions.  Same heroes are introduced, including Puri-Puri Prisoner and Handsomely Masked Sweet Mask (Amai Mask), etc.
Boros arc: Webcomic Chapters 32-41. Nominal differences between versions.  Saitama encounters Boros slightly earlier in the Webcomic, meeting him at the same time as Geryuganshoop.  Geryuganshoop does not display a gravity power in the webcomic, and only ever use telekinesis to throw rocks and rubble.  The final fight between Boros and Saitama is much longer in the manga/anime than in the webcomic.  Saitama is not knocked to the moon in the webcomic at all.

That's as far as the anime gets, but the manga is at the start of the Garou arc.  From this point on the manga starts to diverge fairly noticeably.  For the most part this does not change anything in the canon, but as previously mentioned the manga gets this arc started with a martial arts tournament which does not exist in the webcomic.  As such there are a lot of new characters and enemies in the manga, but so far none of them look to be important beyond setting things up (but we have to wait and see).

Spoilers beyond this point for those who have watched the anime but have not read the manga (or webcomic).

King vs. Saitama: Webcomic Chapters 42-44
Garou Appears: Webcomic Chapter 45
Saitama meets the Fubuki Group: Webcomic Chapter 47
Garou's hero hunt begins: Webcomic Chapter 51. The noticeable differences arise around this time, as who Garou fights and when is different.  The level of interaction between King and Saitama is also substantially altered, because Saitama is at the aforementioned tournament in the manga, while King is not.
Monster Association appears: Webcomic Chapter 55.  Substantial differences between the manga and webcomic are present at this point, though the essential thrust seems so far to be the same.

This is essentially where the manga is now (which is at chapter 109, by certain reckonings).   I would suggest you resume reading at Chapter 42 of the Webcomic, because while the next several chapters will be familiar from the manga the deviations start to mount up pretty quickly.

   But these 55 chapters are only barely more than half of the webcomic's current length, as the webcomic is at chapter 109 (by coincidence) as of the time of this post.  The Garou/Monster Association arc lasts all the way up through Chapter 94 of the webcomic, making it longer than the entirety of the story up to Boros.  Chapters 95 and on have so far not introduced a clear arc, but a lot of world building, character development, and character backgrounds have been provided.


Has the reincarnation of Indra and Ashura ended?

I thought that through the series it was going to be explain, what happened for the current incarnations Naruto and Sasuke, until the end of the series.

According to Naruto wikia:

  The reincarnation cycle will not start again until both of the current reincarnations have passed away; the brothers would not reincarnate until Madara's death, which would occur decades after Hashirama's.

Also on top of the page, it says: Naruto Uzumaki, the current reincarnation of Asura.

The only thing that differs with Naruto and Sasuke was that they didn't have the same conclusion, as the previous reincarnations:

  Ultimately, Naruto managed to accomplish what all of the previous
  reincarnations had failed to do: end the rift between the two lines of
  the reincarnated brothers. Naruto achieved this after defeating
  Sasuke, who finally accepted Naruto's ideals at the end of their
  fight. This brought about the end of the bitter feud that had lasted
  for centuries. According to Black Zetsu, the reincarnations of Indra
  and Asura were almost always in conflict with each other and rarely
  worked together. Naruto and Sasuke are one of the exceptions, assuming
  other exceptions have existed throughout the centuries.


What does Tomoko mean by "Is he Kenshi***?"

Found it thanks to this: What are these three references from episode 9?

  Kenshiro is the main protagonist of Fist of the North Star Manga/Anime series.

The Big Dipper asterism in the background is a reference to the seven scars on his chest that look like it (where as the Big Dipper is also directly above the North Star in the sky):

  Kenshiro is also known as the Man With Seven Scars (七つの傷の男 Nanatsu no kizu no otoko?), due to the seven scars engraved on his chest patterned after the shape of the Big Dipper (the symbol of the Hokuto school), as well as the Savior of Century's End

Which series is this girl getting robbed and tied up from?

This is a original piece of art (pixiv) made by 柳田史太 (NSFW) This piece of art is said to be based on
Tezuka Rin, from the katawa shoujo series

After a simple reverse image search only came up with allot of 9gag/reddit and similar results. I decided to first identify the character, after some cropping. And a few failed search results I came to know that the character was based of Tezuka Rin, from the katawa shoujo series

Shortly after with a bit help of comments given on both 9gag and reddit I managed to find out that it was a original piece of art made by NSFW pixiv artist: 柳田史太 or as she is also known Humitan

The image is based on a simple word joke Hand-Tie(hentai). And also seems to be a word play, as "rob" and "Tie a Knot" is said to be pronounced in the same way. (can't confirm this as I don't speak the language)

I also seen some messages floating around that the image has been featured in manga order a few years back. But so far I have not been able to find it in there.

In "Kiss Him Not Me" how does Kae just automatically become beautiful by just going to sleep?

She didn't become "Automatically beautiful just by going to sleep" Instead, out of depression of her favorite anime guy dying, she locked herself in her room for a week without any food, therefore reducing her body fat and making her thin.


What is the song when Obito attacked Naruto and Sasuke in episode 378 of "Naruto Shippuden"?

I think that is a clip taken out of "Shouryuu"  or "Rising Dragon" starting at about 0:30 into the OST.

It is from Naruto Shippuden OST 2 and is Track 1.

I did some research and it appears that there are actually two different Mewtwos, as you suggest. I know this sounds a bit outlandish at first, but it is mentioned and supported in numerous different sources.

From GameFAQs:

  In game: genderless
  Real mewtwo from the first movie: male
  New mewtwo from genesect movie: female, apparently

From Pokemon Database:

  The original Mewtwo, created by team rocket (First Movie & Mewtwo Returns), was a male.
  This is the moody Mewtwo you know best.

  The second Mewtwo appears in Genesect and the Legend Awakened and is female.

  There is no real evidence for exactly who created this Mewtwo, but it may have been another team following Giovanni's original plans. It could also have to do with the "multiple parallel universes" mentioned to exist in ORAS.

  If this were to be the case, this Mewtwo would have been created at abut the same time in about the same circumstances, but was born a female and may have never met Ash.

In general, it appears that the movies can sometimes operate within different timelines of the regular anime, so these multiple parallel universe theories can exist separately.

From the Bulbapedia entry for Mewtwo, it states that Mewtwo is genderless, but Bulbapedia refers to the games and not the anime/movies.

You can also watch this video, where a semi-popular YouTuber discusses the gender of Mewtwo (and reaches the same conclusion that there are two Mewtwos).


At the end, did Naruto skip Chunnin and Jounin rank before becoming Hokage?

In regards to Naruto's rank which remains as the lowest one, Genin, due to Naruto spending most of his Part II's time fighting and training, Kishimoto decided Naruto would skip the following ranks to become the Hokage, which he felt was appealing.

Taken from Wikipedia, which references  Cinema Today: "Boruto: Naruto the Movie" (in Japanese).


That would be Sachi. She's umm.. you know. big spoiler. As you can see from this screen shot, her hair is blue.


What is the purpose of the bands that Raditz wears on his left arm and leg?

AFAIK, there is (unfortunately) no official concensus on this matter. That aside, logic and speculation do help fill in some of the blanks.

Probable Answer(s)

They're meant for training/fighting. - According to WiseGeek, bicep bands can be worn around the arm of someone doing physical activities to catch and absorb sweat. There has been rumors of how they keep constant pressure on tendons and thus would help keep in intact with the bone, thus preventing serious conditions such as tendonitis. Recent research, as the resource above states, has generally concluded against this, but during the time of Dragonball's production late 80's/early 90's, this would not have been known. Generally bands are not worn on the thigh, as he does, but again, since research had not been conducted, the writer may have just assumed it would have similar effects.
In addition to the this assumption, we could slightly speculate and say that they are similar technology, but enhanced in a way greater than our own world's limitations, but serve essentially the same purpose.

Speculative Answer(s)

They are a symbol used by Saiyan Warriors - The fan base enjoys looking for symbolism, and this is no exception. Many assume it indicates rank, or family. This assumption doesn't have much foundation though, since few, if any,  other Saiyan warriors are shown to use them.

Most likely they're just decoration, designed to enhance his appearance. I doubt Toriyama thought this out very deeply. :)


Which character names come from Spanish words?

The fan wiki for Dragon Ball has a page where they've compiled a list of origins for character names in the Dragon Ball universe.

This page lists three with connections to Spanish.

Pan

  Pan means "bread" in both Spanish and Japanese, which may continue the food theme of Gohan's family.

Chi Chi

  Japanese for "milk" (which also refers to breasts by extension and are a slang term for breasts in Latino Spanish). Named like this because her father is the Ox-King.

Salza

  The English verbal translation is a pun on the Spanish sauce "salsa".

I'm doubtful the first two were intentional, since the Japanese word for bread being the same as the Spanish word is merely a coincidence, and Chi Chi being a slang for breasts also seems very coincidental.


Is there any relation between the two Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto series?

Someday's Dreamers: Summer Skies is basically the second season of Someday's dreamers made by another studio (Hal Film Maker) with a different staff. All it shares with the original is the fictional Tokyo backdrop, as as all characters and most of the setting have changed.

You don't need to watch the first one in order to enjoy the second one.


No, Nunnally was injured by V.V's attack as indicated in her Character Outline

  When her mother was assassinated, Nunnally was paralyzed by bullet wounds on her legs, and went blind due to the geass of her father making her believe that she is blind.

and infact her physical injuries were planned but not by Charles but by V.V

  When Lelouch converses with Charles and Marianne in The Ragnarök Connection (episode), it is revealed that Nunnally's injuries were orchestrated by V.V., who set her up to be a witness to the murder of her mother. Her blindness, which was thought to be psychological, was actually the result of Charles' Geass, done to protect her against possible reprisal by V.V. Charles then chose to send them both away, arguing that he was doing so to protect them from V.V., whom he felt he could no longer trust.

Source: Nunnally > Character History > Season 2 (4th Paragraph)

also if you look at all the Geass Abilities none of them caused any outward physical damage to their targets.

Charles could manipulate Memories and seal Nunnally's Eyesight (by what we could suspect would be manipulating her memories thinking she was blind)
Lelouch could control people's minds and make them obey him
Mao could read minds
Rolo could affect people's perception of time making them think time had frozen
C.C could make people fall in love with her

as you can see, all of these could actually be linked to only affecting a person's mind or how they thought and ofcause with the exception of Mao's power all of these powers were temporary as such Charles's Geass couldn't have caused any permanent physical damage to any other part of the body


Touka definitely isn't a chuunibyou. It's obvious that she is really bothered by Rikka's behavior in the first season and asks Togashi to tell her to snap out of it. It is easy to tell those suffering from chunnibyou from those who are not. Touka never makes any weird statements or gets lost in her imagination.

As for all the battles that go on between Rikka and Touka, they are all just a manifestation of Rikka's own imagination. Touka probably only swings that big spoon around a bit which turns into all those fancy moves inside Rikka's head.


Short Answer is: No, Byakugan cannot read anyone's mind. As to the episode that you are referencing, you need to keep few things in mind:

1) Hinata, during the Chunin exams( I think that's what they're called), was very predictible to begin with, and hence any decent ninja would be able to know her next move by looking at her stance.

2) Neji, with his Byakugan, can see Hinata's chakra-flow, and chakra-flow changes depending on the person's physical and mental state.

3) Neji was fighting Hinata, and it is a common tactic to say things to your opponent that will affect their confidence. If you watch the whole fight, once Hinata remembers Naruto and gains confidence, Neji stops bragging about reading her mind.

Also, Byakugan's ability to gain knowledge of person's mental state by reading chakra-flow, is not the same as reading minds because chakra-flow does not indicate anything about one's thoughts.


A shoujo manga about a girl who cuts a guy's hair in the middle of class and later fixes it

I'm quite sure it is Kyou, Koi o Hajimemasu. Your description matches the details from chapter 1 of the manga.

Synopsis from mangaupdates (emphasis mine):

  Tsubaki is a girl who loves making her younger sister's hair pretty every morning, but she doesn't think that kind of style suits herself! The day of her High School Beginning Ceremony, after she failed in being the top student (who usually makes the ceremony speech), she finds herself sitting next to the actual top student of the first years, the worst rude guy ever, Kyouta. She ends up cutting his hair on purpose because of the bad things he says to her. Kyouta demands that Tsubaki pay him back with her body, but Tsubaki fixes his hair instead--making it even shorter! After that, Kyouta unexpectedly kisses Tsubaki and swears that he'll make her his woman.

Why was Happy and Carla affected by Azuma's take over of Tenrou Islands magic?

While I never can't remember see Carla's guild mark, Happy have it behind his back, Picture below is from Galuna Island arc when Gray met Lyon on Curse Island, they (local villager) ask for Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Happy mark to prove it if they are Fairy Tail's Mage.

So if happy has it, it not weird that Carla also has it. But she usually wearing full clothes so maybe it's hidden behind her cloth


Can the same potara earrings be used to fuse other warriors after a fused warrior defused?

Yes.

This image is right after Goku and Vegeta defuse vs Merged Zamasu. We see the Potara earring on Vegeta's right ear and Goku obviously has it on his left ear. Also, even during the fight between Vegito and Buuhan (Super Buu with ultimate Gohan absorbed), there is a scene where Goku and Vegeta defuse inside him and Vegeta breaks the Potara earring. So Goku and Vegeta could give the Potara earrings to say someone like Android 17 and 18 right after and have them fuse if they wanted to.

It has never been mentioned that the Potara earrings require a time limit to be used, like the fusion dance. If the time limit were to apply, it would be on the warriors themselves and not the Potara earrings as the earrings themselves don't provide any additional energy to the warriors and it only acts as some form of a multiplier which fuses the energy between the two warriors.


Aside from the obvious chakra problem - which has been shown to be a problem on previous fights (namely vs Deidara, IIRC) - there don't seem to be any plotholes, IMO.

As I've pointed out in this answer:

Amaterasu, "representing the light of the material world"1, is performed with the right eye.
Tsukuyomi, "the nightmare realm, representing the world of the mind and darkness"1, is performed with the left eye.
Susano'o is "the strength of the tempestuous force that resides only within those of have mastered"1 both of the above techniques.

Granted we haven't seen Kakashi perform any of those, but we haven't seen Madara perform them either, and he mastered Susano'o all the same-
That being said, I don't think Kakashi was able to perform Susano'o due to the Sharingan's copying ability, but rather because he now possesses both Sharingan.

As for the chakra problem, maybe the next chapter will shed some light on that, but let's also remember that Obito gave Kakashi both Sharingan not in his physical form, but only as a 'blob of chakra', and he may have transferred some chakra over to Kakashi on the process.

How does a Hidden Mist ninja have the Byakugan?

Yes, there is a mention of such a ninja in the manga as well as in the earlier episodes of the anime.

The ninja that you are referring to is Ao.

  He has clashed several times with Konoha shinobi. At one point he
  defeated an unknown Hyūga, taking one of the Hyūga's Byakugan and
  implanting it into his own right eye socket. Later, he had a
  confrontation with Shisui Uchiha, which left enough of an impact on Ao
  for him to clearly remember Shisui's abilities and his chakra colour
  long after the event.

He first appeared in the manga chapter 454 and Naruto Shippuden anime episode 199 (the five kage summit arc)


From the novel, the doctor said that Shiki jumped the instant before the collision, so there wasn't much physical injury. The head experienced some collision thus put her into a coma. Aozaki also states later that SHIKI died spiritually.

From the narrative it seemed that SHIKI died during the collision.

At the end of the chapter, Shiki herself states that SHIKI probably died in a suicidal sense, because he wanted to avoid himself harming Kokutō.


Is the story of Momonosuke, the boy who transformed into a dragon, based on any folklore in real life?

There are a couple of cartoons/anime/movies where a boy transforms into a dragon.

American Dragon: Jake Long, an American cartoon.
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, a movie based on the novel with same title, which has a boy who turns to a dragon.
Legend of the Dragon, another cartoon.
Fafnir, a legend connected to the idea of a person turning into a dragon:

  In Norse mythology, Fáfnir (Old Norse and Icelandic) or Frænir was a son of the dwarf king Hreidmar and brother of Regin and Ótr. After being affected by the curse of Andvari's ring and gold, Fafnir became a dragon and was slain by Sigurd.

A Chinese legend of carp turning into dragon after passing through the Dragon Gate.


Not really, no.

The oldest (probably) Shinobi alive was Madara Uchiha, and even that because he awakened the Rinnegan, summoned the Gedo Mazo, and leeched on it for life-force.

Without it, he would probably have died at 80-90, which is a reasonable lifespan.


Can Ainz Oal gown make Clones of himself?

Pandora's Actor has the ability to disguise himself as Ainz and others.

  As a higher-tier Doppelgänger, he has an ability to mimic a player based on their appearance as well as their ability.

He already did that in episode 10 of season 2 while meeting Sebas and Tuare.
It is reasonable to assume that the same happened in episode 13.

In Episode 221 of Naruto: Shippūden, what was it that Naruto signed about?

That scroll was not a contract but rather, the key to the Fourth Hokage's seal.

In Chapter 489, Gamatora reveals it after Naruto's inquiry. To quote,

  The key that locks and unlocks the Fourth Hokage's Sealing Jutsu that's on yer belly! With this, ya could even let Nine Tails out to run free.

Naruto accepting it means he now has control of the Fourth Hokage's Sealing Jutsu via the key.


What plant does Noel use as an umbrella/parasol?

I have not seen the anime, but I know of a couple big-leaved plants that grow in Japan. Here are three genera with links to Google’s image search:

Farfugium sp. (ツワブキ tsuwabuki), especially F. japonicum
Hosta sp. (ギボウシ gibōshi), several big-leaved species native to Japan
Petasites sp. (フキ fuki), especially P. japonicum

And then—of course—there exist many more species with big leaves similar to the one depicted in the question. It all comes down to whether the designer based the ‘umbrella’ on real-life plants or just relied on our perceived perception of an umbrella-like plant.


Why are the OADs coming out for Days called the series finale when the manga isn't over?

The 3 OADs will conclude the Days anime series, not the series as a whole. Or in other words, there is no planned continuation for the anime after the OADs.

The anime series adapts the manga until the semifinal match of National Championship - Tokyo Preliminaries Block A. The last episode ends just before the start of the final match:

   The credits roll as both Touin and Seiseki take the field. There's a lot of high energy and everyone we've come to love throughout the series is watching the game. But we're not! Because the season has ended and we're left with a massive cliffhanger and one last 'Seiseki Fight!'

 DAYS Episode 24 (Final) Review: I Want to Play More Soccer With This Team

The planned 3 OADs will draw upon the final match of National Championship - Tokyo Preliminaries Block A, ending the arc and serving as the anime's finale.

Or just as Wikipedia stated,

  the television anime's story will end with three original anime DVDs (OADs) in 2018.


What does the word "jiken" on young Luffy's shirt mean in Japanese?

In this context, jiken (事件) means "incident" or "case".

The full picture indicates tamago jiken which literally means "the egg incident" where a chick is killed due to the egg getting cracked.

There might not be any deeper meaning considering Oda's nature of humor.


What happened at the end of Code Geass R2?

This was all part or Lelouch's Zero Requiem plan.

   The plan involved focusing all of the world's hatred onto the tyrannical Emperor of the world (Lelouch) and killing him, as part of their plan for world peace.

Suzaku agreed to ally with Lelouch after the Tokyo Settlement incident with the F.L.E.I.J.A., specifically after his one-sided conversation with Jeremiah Gottwald.

   The only Geass order Lelouch gave Suzaku was the order to "live" on. (During the event on Shikinejima Island where he is ordered to kill Lelouch, who was Zero at the time)


What is the song that plays when Lelouch sees the memories of C.C. in episode 11?

It's an unreleased piece from the soundtrack called Sins and Astonishment. You can find it here:

Merlin is a human from Belialuin.

Belialuin was described as the "capital of the wizards" 3000 years before the events of Seven Deadly Sins. Although Merlin's true name has been shown to use an inhuman pronunciation and alphabet, the latest chapter (Chapter 337) showed her childhood extensively, detailing her motivations and origins.

Unless these facts were misleading or those facts are retconned later by the author, Merlin is fully human.

   Most importantly, the Lady of the Lake directly describes Merlin as being fully human, contrasting her with Meliodas and Elizabeth. Her humanity makes her a descendant of Chaos, like all other humans, which directly ties in with her motivations (freeing Chaos from its divine seal). All of these informations can be checked in chapter 337.
