Couldnt Overhaul be used in the same way of Eri's rewind quirk?

According to description of Overhaul ability, it allows its user to disassemble and reassemble anything, which makes it kinda similar to alchemy from Fullmetal Alchemist. This leads me to speculation, that while disassembling something or someone, Kai Chisaki learns how this object or person is structured, and thus is able to reconstruct it or them to the previous shape. This is partially backed up by the fact, that most of people, that were "revived" by Kai Chisaki, were killed by his ability as well.

Description of Eri's ability is rather vague, but it seems she can just "rewind" person to previous state (it is still not clear what "parameters" of person she can "rewind"), even being not aware what this state was. Another difference is that according to situation when

   Midoriya was using 100% Full Cowl for pretty extended time,

Eri is able to "fix" person in their current "state", instantly reverting any changes to their body, unlike Overhaul, which is singular action.

Most limitations to quirks are never explained by author, but taking into account, that Kai Chisaki was never using his quirk to achieve same result as Eri is able to do, I'd say he can't "simulate" it.

What does "gal" mean in Hajimete no Gal and/or Japanese culture?

"Gal" is the English transliteration for gyaru, which is a fashion trend in Japanese culture.  This fashion trend includes things like:

Tanning/darkening the skin
Wearing lots of shiny makeup (traditional Japanese culture is very modest with makeup)
Wearing lots of jewelry and has lots of accessories (fake nails, excessive nail/toe polish)

Effectively, the "gals" in My First Girlfriend is a Gal are following the gyaru fashion trend.


Why is Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's Rinnegan of a different color?

Yes, Rinnegan has variations especially that of Momoshiki's where it is depicted in different colors:

 Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki has a pair of Rinnegan embedded in the palms of his hands. They are initially red, but after he consumes his guardian, Kinshiki, they become purple (in Boruto: Naruto the Movie) or yellow (in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations). This also grants him a third Rinnegan on his forehead, which matches the other two in colour. In the anime, Momoshiki's yellow Rinnegan temporarily turn red when he uses their power.

Which Nomu is more powerful, USJ Nomu or Hood?

There are three categories of Nomu up until now in BnHA:

Low-End Nomu like the ones at Kamino. Low-End Nomu serve as foot soldiers and can overpower minor Pro Heroes. These Nomu are light in color and possess a multitude of Quirks as well as enhanced physical strength.

Mid-End Nomu like the ones at USJ. Mid-End Nomu can contend with the top Pro Heroes. These Nomu are generally black in color and possess the Super Regeneration Quirk and are even stronger than low-end Nomu.

High-End Nomu like Hood. High-End Nomu are intelligent Nomu that completely outclass the other Nomu. They possess abilities that can even overpower the top Pro Heroes, including up to six different Quirks.

So Hood is the strongest Nomu so far...

   And in the latest chapters it is shown that there are other High-End
 Nomu being made.


Still untouched in canon.  In the non-canon games Infinity Moment/Hollow Fragment, Kirito and the others had to continue through the upper floors and the Ruby Palace.

It was established within canon that the floors of New Aincrad are being released 10 floors at a time.  The Mother's Rosario story arc begins with the update that opened floors 21-30 to begin clearing, notable because Kirito and Asuna wanted to reclaim their cabin on floor 22.  Since nothing has been said beyond Mother's Rosario, it is safe to say the upper floors still have not been released.


Why is Toyohisa OK with Olmine contributing to the fight, but not Jeanne dArc?

You have to keep in mind that Toyohisa comes from Feudal Japan (16th Century) where armies are comprised of solely men, and where the social structure basically forbids Women anywhere near a battlefield.

Having a Woman fighting him to the death breaks his "code of conduct", and what was "socially acceptable" for him, which is why he told Jeanne to basically go back to the kitchen.

There are two main reasons as to why Olmine was not treated the same by Toyohisa:

She saved his life (at the start of the engangement; before knowing that Jeanne was a woman).
and Unlike Jeanne, Olmine had no intention of killing anyone (directly).


What is the difference between an OVA and an OAV?

OVA and OAV are synonymous. The reason for having two acronyms is historical; currently, both Japan and English-speaking countries use "OVA" as the official designation.

According to the Japanese Wikipedia (rough translation):

  In the early days, "OAV" (short for "original animation video") was often used as well, but "AV" and "Adult Video" were easily confused, and could be easily mistaken for "Audio/Visual", so it gradually became less common.

The English Wikipedia sums this up slightly more succinctly:

  Original video animation, abbreviated as OVA media (and sometimes as OAV, original animated video, by English-speakers, though it was mistaken for "Original Adult Video"), are animated films and series made specially for release in home-video formats.

Basically, the media was initially dubbed "OAV" for "original animated video". However, because of the term "adult video" (which implies pornography or mature material), and the ability to be easily confused with the common film/animation term "audio/visual", the last two letters were switched to form OVA (original video animation).


Why do many manga artists prefer to use pen and paper over digital drawing?

There are two primary limitations to an artist switching from traditional to digital media:

Adjustment
Money

That's really all there is to it.

The two reasons go very much hand in hand; most artists will start with traditional media because quality digital media is expensive. There's no getting around it. A basic setup requires a computer with good graphics support, a software package that can be used for comics/manga production, and a graphics tablet (typically a higher end one like Wacom's Cintiq).

On the other hand, anyone can pick up some free scratch paper and a pencil or pen and start sketching. There's virtually no barrier to entry for learning traditional media. Once you start to get more serious about it, yes, traditional media can also get expensive (comic/manga art boards, multiple pens and brushes, various types of inks, screentones, alcohol markers for color pages, and so on), but you don't have to spend a dime to start.

There's a process of adjustment that takes time when switching from traditional media to working digitally. The two feel different, even if you're working with something like a Cintiq where you don't have to disassociate your hand position from what you're seeing. You're learning a new medium, and it always takes time to adjust to it. An active manga artist is working on a strict publication schedule, and isn't necessarily going to have time to go through that adjustment period; artists who are extremely popular will have greater demands on them, and those who are just starting out will have no ability to ask for schedule changes or additional assistants to work through the transition.

There are artists who do use digital media (Hiroya Oku, Asano Inio, Natsume Ono), and certainly there are some who would be interested in making the transition, but for many, it may well be simply a preference that keeps them from making the shift. They prefer the feel of a pen or brush on paper to a stylus on screen, and therefore have no motivation to sink either the time or cost into transitioning to digital. Working digitally has an additional limitation when it comes to assistants: either you are now a one-person show, or you have to sink money into a workstation with tablet for each assistant on your team. Particularly with popular artists who depend on their assistants to meet deadlines, there may be no choice but to stick with paper that can be passed around between the people working on the title.

There are no technical limitations. Multiple companies make Cintiq-like graphics tablets at various price points and functionality, allowing for a more "traditional" workflow for the artist. Multiple companies publish software that can be used to create manga pages, including screen tones and tools that emulate traditional media very effectively; any of these programs can export into any number of standard formats that can be read by the publishing company, which is undoubtedly using digital versions of all pages, regardless of how they're produced, to assemble their magazines. The only limitations are in the cost of transitioning, both fiscally in actual money spent, and the investment of time needed to adjust to the new media.

Can Accelerator be harmed by space-time abilities (such as teleportation)?

As for teleportation, the Railgun wiki says:

  As of Volume 20, he is currently in Russia, where he has a brief encounter with some Russian mages, and some of Academy city's new streamlined, high-speed power suits. It is also during this encounter where we learn that his ability not only works on magic (although incompletely, as the magic is dissipated instead of redirected) but also on teleportation as well.

Supposedly, Accelerator's reflect shield works in all 11 dimensions, so as long as the teleportation is using one of those (as Kuroko's does), he'll be able to reflect it.


In what order do the Hyperdimension Neptunia games go (including the animation)?

While i haven't seen the anime yet i am confident to say that the anime isn't an adaptation of any if the game's plot rather it makes references to the games

   like the with the 2 Noire's one is the alternate one from the Ultradimension

as for the order of the games not all of them relate to one another as most are in different dimensions however Mk.II/Re;Birth 2 are Victory/Re;Birth 3 are linked together as the Wikia Says

   A few years have passed since the Deity of Sin's destruction.

as for the different Dimensions

1st Hyperdimension - Hyperdimension Neptunia/Re;Birth

   in this Arfoire was a single goddess before she and Histoire made Neptune, Noire, Vert and Blanc. also Histoire has near unlimited power because of her role as a Tome also in the true ending of the original PS3 game (have yet to confirm with Re;Birth) the CPUs give up their divinity to eradicate all of the monsters across the world and became regular humans

In Re;Birth when characters like MAGES., Tekken and Falcom talk about being from another world i suspect this is the Ultradimension/2nd Hyperdimension as i first learned of these characters from the announcements of other human characters in Victory before it's release

2nd Hyperdimension - Hyperdimension Mk. II/Re;Birth 2: Sisters' Generation, Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory/Re;Birth 3: V Generation, Megamdimenstion Neptunia VII

   Histoire isn't as powerful as he is in the first instead being one of 4 Oracles. in Mk.II IF seemed to have a crush for Nepgear rather than Vert. in the True Route the party goes to where one of the former Goddesses of Planeptune are buried who they speak to about DOS.Arfoire.

Also aside from the first game/Re;Birth i believe all games which refer to the Hyperdimension are set here as according to the Wikia page of the Hyperdimenstion

  The Hyper Dimension is a dimension of the Hyperdimension Neptunia series and appears in every title of the main series since Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2.

also while i haven't found where VII links with with Mk. II/Re;Birth 2 and V/Re;Birth 3 it's probably safe to assume that VII would get set after V/Re;Birth 3 as VII isn't pronounced as 7 (roman-numerals for VII) but as V2, short for Victory 2

  Megadimension Neptunia VII (新次元ゲイム ネプテューヌVII Shin Jigen Game Neptune Victory II, "New Dimension Game Neptune Victory II" in Japan) is a Japanese role-playing game in the Hyperdimension Neptunia series of role-playing games, developed exclusively for the PlayStation 4.

Source: Wikipedia - Megadimension Neptunia VII

Ultradimenstion - Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory/Re;Birth 3: V Generation

Alternate dimension that Neptune is swept away to which represents a late 80s version of the 2nd Hyperdimension Gamindustri. more can be read up on the Wikia Page

Alternate Ultradimension - Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection

  Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection takes place in alternate Ultradimension that is the same as the Ultradimension of Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory in terms of geographical structure. In this dimension, residents who typically are not from this world such as the Four Felons exist as well as numerous others.

Source: Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection - Setting

the 4 Felons it's referring to are ASIC's Criminals of the Free World, CFW.Magic, CFW.Judge, CFW.Trick and CFW.Brave

Gamarket - Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart

  Unlike previous titles of the Hyperdimension Neptunia series. Chou Megami Shinkou Noire Gekishin Black Heart takes place in a different world known as "Gamarket."  In this world the nations of Planeptune, Lastation, Lowee, and Leanbox still exist with their respective goddesses and the geographic structure is mostly the same as the Hyperdimension and Ultradimension but still visually different at the same time.

Source Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart - Setting

Alternate 1st Hyperdimenstion from Re;Birth? - Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed

  Hyperdimension Neptunia U takes place in a Gamindustri much like the the one of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1. The geography is entirely the same and is comprised of floating continents; each having one of the four nations: Planeptune, Lastation, Leanbox, and Lowee.

Source: Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed - Setting

while the Wikia says "much like" this could be because it may be missing Celestia. i have yet to play it to determine this

MegaTagmension? (Currently unknown) - MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies

  The game's setting is very different to the previous games. In this game, set in another alternate universe, the girl are not CPU/Goddess but instead high school students. They try making a zombie movie when they accidentally summon zombies to their world.

Source: MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies - Setting

Zero and Heart Dimensions - Megamdimenstion Neptunia VII

The Zero Dimenstion is an alternate dimension nearing destruction where Neptune and Nepgear end up first.

As for the Heart Dimension it is,

  An amalgamation of both Zero Dimension and Hyper Dimension. In order to track down the mastermind causing the troubles of both worlds, the CPUs travel to a strange, new dimension.

Soruce: Megadimension Neptunia VII - Story - Heart Dimension Neptunia H Trilogy Finale: Into Legend

As for what Compa says in the Lily Rank Event it would be true on 2 levels as

the 2nd Hyperdimension for Re;Birth 2 is different from the 1st one in Re;Birth thus it would have a different history
in the Ultradimension IF and Compa appear in this too but as babies (so one can consider the Ultradimension as an alternate past to the 2nd Hyperdimension)

As for Recommended Play/Watch Order:

Hyperdimension Neptunia (PS3)/Re;Birth 1 - this introduces you to the main reoccurring characters such as the CPUs, Compa and IF and Arfoire
Given that Mk. II/Re;Birth 2, V/Re;Birth 3 and VII are initially linked i would play them in that order after Re;Birth
Producing Perfection, Action Unleashed and Goddess Black Heart you can probably play at any time after Mk. II/Re;Birth 2 because to my knowledge there are no characters from V/Re;Birth 3 in there
Blanc + Neptune i would play after V/Re;Birth 3 because Plutia and Peashy appear in the List of characters and more than likely they will be like that from the Ultradimension
i would watch the anime after V/Re;Birth 3 for the same reason as above because of Plutia and Peashy who apparently appear in the anime (i have yet to watch it)

NOTE: all of this does not take into account DLC characters as Re;Birth 1 features Plutia and Peashy but they are not involved with the plot (rather it might be confusing as to why Plutia may seem clam and kind of a ditz but Iris Heart is a Dominatrix)

NOTE 2: This does not take into account any of the Manga because i am unfamiliar with them at this point in time


What is the true meaning of "I want to eat your pancreas"?

So, this relates to the fact that in Japanese culture, and various other Asian cultures as well, mothers use a phrase along the lines of 'I will eat up your disease X, so that you can get all better...' to their children; the title here refers to the fact that,

Who is the being with 2 eyes in Magi chapter 323?

You are correct on the 3-eyed guy being Ugo. As for the 2-eyed guy, I believe it is an amalgamation of Rukh from old kings. If you notice, Ugo states you guys implying there are more than one and the 2-eyed being says that Sinbad has done enough and unveils him from inside.

Another hint would be the fact that the 2-eyed being is seen above speaking directly to Sinbad as Sinbad is crawling on the ground and says, "Divine providence...the one that reaches the top will fall...Old kings?."

Sinbad's Rukh leaves his body near the end of the frames as it goes to join the old kings.

Hope this helps, the angles are tricky to understand sometimes.


Yes it was explained during this arc (I don't know the exact episode as I watched it when it was airing) that he lost control over his powers due to him becoming rusty. This resulted in him starting to train again with Picolo to regain the powers he once had, including his mystic form.

Gohan decided in the past to focus more on his studies rather than being a martial artist. This made him become rusty... very rusty, rusty enough to barely transform into a super saiyan. His mystic form is beyond that of a super saiyan. I am not sure how strong it actually is, but it is definitely more powerful than his previous super saiyan forms. It might be as good as ssj3, but that is just my personal speculation.

Since he focused so much on his studies he was able to achieve a lot things as for getting job offers and such (as seen in previous episodes). He completely neglected his trainings due to this and became very rusty as Picolo mentioned a couple of times throughout dbs.

I don't recall him turning into his mystic form though during the Battle of the Gods.

But to get back on your question, according to the timeline of dragonball it had been 5 years between Buu saga and DBS. During Buu saga he wasn't training much anymore and in those 5 years he didn't train at all (mainly due to Chichi not wanting him to turn out like his father). The effect of this probably lowered his powerlevel significantly which made him for him almost impossible to turn into ssj without training again.


The term Doujinshi is rather broad, encompassing any self-published work. Sometimes, although rarely, even big name authors have created some doujinshi.

Wikipedia has a pretty decent article which defines it as:

  Dōjinshi (同人誌{どうじんし}), often transliterated as doujinshi) is the Japanese term for self-published works, usually magazines, manga or novels. Dōjinshi are often the work of amateurs, though some professional artists participate as a way to publish material outside the regular industry.

These self-published works are almost always inspired by work created by someone else, rather than being original works. Since the authors usually don't have original ideas to write about, instead they want to express their love for a series by writing stories that could have happened, which is why you're often seeing these sexual situations in doujinshi. Sex is popular, and it is generally abstained from in source material. Thus writing about it is a good way to make your doujinshi popular easily, since many people will have had similar thoughts while reading the source.

As far as if there are doujinshi that do not involve sexual situations, the answer is of course. Since we are talking about self-published works, there is really no limit to what kind of stories you could find, just like in any fan fiction.

Finally, your question about finding out what is in them ahead of time, has already been asked here: How do I figure out the contents of doujinshi? While there isn't an answer to that question posted, it seems the consensus from the comments is that outside of learning about the contents from a doujin circle, it is rather hard to know what to expect.


What was the significance of all the shinobi wars?

What drove the fighting back during the Era of the Waring States was basically the 'cycle of hatred', as they usually refer to in the Naruto universe: the killing of some loved one or someone from the clan could not go unpunished, and so war and death were always around. This cycle was started, according to the Wiki page, as each nation "crusaded for more rights and land". Back then, the nations' shinobi were not yet organized into villages, so any existing Feudal Lord (which I am not sure existed) would not have power over any clan, so he could not force them to make a truce. Clans responded to Feudal Lords as long as they got paid, meaning that there wasn't even any particular affiliation to the nation itself. Money, lands and rights initially spawned the conflicts, and then the 'cycle of hatred' settled in.
The ending of this Era is marked by the founding of Konoha by the Uchiha and Senju clans. The heads of each of these clans shared the vision that peace was possible, as long as one could reach out to the other. The example of Konoha was followed in other countries, thus creating the Five Great Shinobi Countries.
As a means to help settle the peace between these five new-born villages, Hashirama Senju (then First Hokage), who was able to control Bijuu with his Wood Release techniques, distributed said beasts between the other countries. This was done with the intention of distributing the power equally between the countries. However, at least according to this page, this may have actually have increased hostilities. This may have been due to the First Hokage's death, which made Bijuu control harder, and which in turn lead to the 'storing' of Bijuu inside people (Jinchuuriki).
The above seems to be the reason for the start of the First Shinobi War, meaning that the fighting was due to rights (meaning some states/villages were displeased with the power distribution) or to the already said 'cycle of hatred' (meaning villagers and Kage were displeased by the fact that their people had been lost, possibly because of Bijuu going berserk or having to be stored inside loved ones). This war was settled with a peace treaty, but not before all five countries had suffered serious damage. During this war the Second Hokage (Tobirama Senju) died, but appointed Hiruzen Sarutobi as Third Hokage first.
After about twenty years after the peace treaty, the economic disparity between countries was a serious problem, and the countries started to use their military forces to expand their territories under the pretext of expending fair rights. This lead to the start of the Second Shinobi War, which took place mostly in smaller countries like Amegakure, leaving the main countries mostly unarmed. This was the war in which Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru fought. This was also the war that marked the foundation of Akatsuki, since it left Nagato, Yahiko and Konan orphans, and most of the bloodshed took place in their own country. Although the exact events that led to the start of the war are uncertain, Nagato said that the war was started by Konoha.1 What settled this war is not stated.
The Third Shinobi War was caused by a decline in the power of the Five Great Nations. This led to continuous fights along the borders with smaller nations, which in turn led to a war that ended up involving all Five Great Nations. This was the hardest of the first three wars, since all five nations were faced with war shortage. This was began to turn in Konoha's favour after the incident in Kannabi Bridge (shown in the Kakashi Gaiden). In this war Sasori gained reputation and made a name for himself, Minato Namikaze fought with the Fourth Raikage and Killer B, and it was the war in which Kakashi and Obito fought. This was also the war that lead to the dying of Yahiko, leading to a change in the direction of Akatsuki. How this war was settled is not stated.
The Fourth Shinobi War was caused by the Five Kage's refusal to surrender the Bijuu that remained to be captured (Hachibi and Kyuubi) over to the Akatsuki, leading to a declaration of war from Tobi's part. Tobi's need for the Bijuu rests in his Eye of the Moon plan, which intends to cast the whole world into a genjutsu, thus bringing the illusion of peace. As the Five Kage refused to give in to this plan, a declaration of war was made. Faced with this, the Five Kage and Land of Iron's Samurai leader Mifune agreed to fight side by side, thus creating the first ever Shinobi Alliance. This war is still ongoing.

As a side note, it is important to notice that despite whatever reasons spawned these wars, the 'cycle of hatred' is always the main factor for these wars. Peace always tends to be temporary, until some country or someone 'snaps' and brings about a new war. However they try to settle things and bring about peace, many people are never satisfied with this, since loved ones and comrades were lost to other nations. This always brings about tensions, and as time goes by and peace 'wears out' the smallest things can spawn new wars.
Regarding why Feudal Lords do not choose an overall leader, besides and adding to all that was stated above: they'd have to gather (the Five of them) and come to a conclusion as to who to choose. However, they'd then need the approval of all the Jounin from all the villages. Given the 'cycle of hatred' (that I've stressed a lot here) it would be very hard to have an overall Kage, similarly to the choosing of the First Hokage: this lead to displeasing from Madara's part, as he did not like it that a Senju was chosen for the position. However, never fear for Naruto intends to break the cycle. :P

What is the music at season 3 episode 18 when Yuga Aoyama was distracting the enemy?

Ratio of key frames to in-between frames in anime

The answer is relatively simple when looking only at the ratio (ie. not at the number of keyframes over the course of an episode or minute of anime).

Since keyframes are used at the start and the end of a smooth transition, each movement, or transition, only has 2 keyframes, regardless of how many people or objects are moving over a period of time.

From clicking around on Wikipedia's Keyframe page we get that a movement can be drawn in about 12 frames.
With frame 1 and 12 being keyframes, the rest are inbetweens, resulting in a 1:6 ratio of keyframes/inbetweens, where the ratio can move to 1:12 if the movement/transition takes a full 24 frames, or may even drop down to 1:3 (for example) if additional keyframes are introduced successively in order to complete different motions starting and ending at different times.


What happens to Tien after the episode - "Tien goes all out"?

Taken from the wiki.

It's just above the "Biography" part. There is also a more descriptive part about it in the "Biography" part.

  During Dragon Ball Z, he is seen striving to become a powerful warrior, and still hopes to surpass Goku one day. He valiantly fights and defeats a Saibaman when the Saiyans arrive, and does battle with Nappa, during which Chiaotzu sacrifices himself in vain, causing Tien to put all his effort into one final attack, which fails. Tien dies a hero's death, but is revived later by Porunga. When the conflict with the Androids comes into full swing, Tien puts his life on the line numerous times when assisting his friends against the mechanical demons, most notably when using his life-force to hold Semi-Perfect Cell at bay, nearly sacrificing his own life to allow Android 16 and Android 18 to escape, thus saving the Earth from certain destruction. After the defeat of Cell, Tien goes off to continue his training. When Super Buu threatens Earth's existence seven years later, he arrives just in time to save Gohan from certain death. However, he is knocked out when Buu's severed legs reanimate and kick him, and later perishes when the Earth is destroyed.


How could Vegeta defeat Hakaishin Toppo so easily?

There are a few inaccuracies in your question.Firstly, Goku was in his base form when Freiza hit him with the Hakai energy and he didn't turn SSJB or Kaioken. In episode 125, we see the Destruction energy capable of destroying all forms of energy, so it is very likely Goku couldn't turn SSJB while he was stuck inside the energy ball. Freiza, on the other hand, was in his golden form and strong enough to break out of it.Based on the fight after, we see SSJB Goku per tournament was on the same level as Golden Freiza. It has to be noted that Goku in his SSJB from grew substantially stronger because of multiple Zenkai boosts.UI Goku was fighting against a very suppressed Jiren. UI Goku against Kefla was a lot stronger and she was strong enough to take blows from him(Which remarked by Whis weren't powerful as Goku hadn't mastered the attack portion of UI yet). Current Jiren is using a lot more power than he did then.Vegeta's new form before his fight with Toppo, was relative in power to SSJB+Kaioken*20 Goku(The stronger SSJB Goku), hence making him a lot stronger than Golden Freiza. Freiza in his golden form is even weaker than characters like Anilaza and Kefla in terms of strength. Toppo in his God of destruction form, was stronger than Kefla who was at that time the third strongest(With 1 being Jiren and 2 being Goku). This is why we see Vegeta overwhelmed by Toppo during the initial stage of his fight. When Vegeta powered up after, he reached a level of strength a lot stronger than Kefla and Toppo but weaker than UI Goku and hence was able to knock out Toppo.During the fight between Universe 7 vs Anilaza(We see 3 SSJB tier characters (And let us assume Gohan and Android 17 are even SSJB tier which they definitely aren't), so 5 SSJB characters being able to hold their own in a beam struggle with Anilaza. Kaioken * 20 SSJB Goku is the same power multiplied 20 times and UI Goku is immensely stronger compared to Kaioken Goku. Vegeta's form is relative to this(initially) and he was a lot stronger than Freiza when he first fought Toppo which is why he wasn't completely Toyed around with.


What is the name of the instrumental theme in Episode 3 of My Hero Academia which starts at 4:52?

That song is "Plus Ultra", composed by Yuki Hayashi. (Disc 1, Track #18 of "Boku no Hero Academia" Original Soundtrack


Why does Hayama feel that he is inferior to Hachiman?

Well, Hayama has the good looks, friends and stuff, but most of his "friends" would just stop being friends if Hayama isn't "Hayama" anymore; Most of his "friends" would just abandon him, if he were to be attacked by a bear somewhere in a forest.

He realizes this after trying to see from Hachiman's point of view, Hachiman's cynical and "real" outlook on 'the youth', society, and life in general doesn't seem too far fetched.

Hayama being the "good guy" tried to "associate" better with Hachiman because he "pities" him, but then realizes that most of Hachiman's world views are painfully accurate; and that his way of thinking isn't totally wrong either, and that is what makes Hayama think he is inferior to 8man.

or maybe because Hachiman has two girls going after him, while Hayama has a bitch, and a girl that's going to die of blood loss sooner or later. (#TeamYukinon)


What does Krillin's "Tacos" shirt refer to?

This is an interesting question. I would say it's definitely one out of these 3 possibilities, It refers to the Japanese word Tako, ie "Octopus". This word is also a cheeky way of referring to someone's baldness (Example: Tatsumaki uses this word to insult Saitama in One Punch Man(Where the Main character's baldness is a recurring joke)). Krillin's baldness has been made fun of in the show. So this could possibly be a reason for the same.The Mexican dub of Dragon Ball Z was very popular and considered to be one of the best. So perhaps it could be Toei acknowledging them as a fanbase considering they chose "Tacos" in specific when they could've possibly put anything else on his shirt.Perhaps we are thinking too much of it. Just like in countries like the U.S where we see T-shirts with random Japanese Kanji on it, T-Shirts with random English words are indeed popular in Japan. So it was probably randomly chosen.Personally, I would like to think they gave it some thought and it was perhaps chosen on account of the first reason. However, it could very likely be for absolutely no reason at all and something only the artists know.

What does the crystal represent in the new Naruto Op (ep 432)

After watching the opening, here's my version :

  It's all about the collective hopes and dreams people have for one
  another and themselves. All of the dead characters passed down the
  circular stone that represented the hopes they had for Naruto, who
  embodied the future. Naruto struggled to achieve the goal by
  struggling no matter how tired he was. Or this crystal can also be the past, that's why Sasuke would want to destroy it (but later, he accepts it).


Is it true that Angel Beats was originally set for 2 cours before being cut down to 1?

No, Angel Beats! was never supposed to become a 26-episode Anime (2 cours).

Due to the lack of character building, a lot of people have assumed that it was supposed to become a 26 episode anime, but so far all are false speculations.

I also remember reading the notes about it becoming an anime in either the LN or Manga where he stated something along the lines of not having enough space to tell the story. So they most likely decided on this setup to still give the core points of the story, and getting you into reading the rest.

One of the sources that mainly instigate this kind of rumors includes small quotes on sites such as TvTropes.org where was said.

  The reason for this is most likely that the show was originally planned for 26 episodes but was then cut down to 13. Angel beats tropes

Although this might not be the exact starting point of the rumor, they usually start from frequently visited anime related sites, where after they spread to Yahoo, forums, SE.


Are Goku and Vegeta stronger than Beerus?

I can't give you a definite answer with regard to Goku, however with regard to Vegeta, the answer would be a No. These would be my reasons for the same:First with regard to Vegeta:Vegeta defeated Toppo who was a Candidate to be a God of destruction.Toppo was implied to be weaker than Vermouth(The God of destruction of Universe 11), considering Jiren was recognized as the mortal who surpassed the Gods.Jiren's official description indicated he was God of destruction tier and Whis himself stated that Jiren was at the level of a God of destruction.Vegeta in his Super Saiyan Blue Evolution form, was completely overwhelmed by Jiren even while fighting alongside SSSJB + Kaioken*20 Goku and Android 17.Jiren didn't show any signs of exhaustion, wasn't battle damaged and didn't sustain any injuries during their battle.Based on Manga Chapter 28, Beerus was indicated to be one of the strongest Gods across the multiverse. I think it is fair to assume his strength is relative to Base Jiren (Who has been confirmed in the Manga to be stronger than Vermouth and also vaguely in the anime by Whis in Episode 110. Hence, I can conclude without a doubt based on this evidence that Vegeta isn't stronger than Beerus.With Regard to Goku (Note: Episode 131, made it clear that Goku couldn't utilise his Mastered Ultra Instinct Transformation through will. Hence, I will be assuming that he's able to tap into it, either through will or being overwhelmed by Beerus like Jiren.):There was this magazine Link at the Time of Episode 129 here where Beerus states that Goku might be stronger than him in Episode 129. However, I do not think this is the case.When Goku utilises Ultra Instinct Omen, we see him being able to hold his own against Jiren but was still significantly weaker than Jiren based on their fight in Episode 129.Once Goku mastered UI, he was completely able to overwhelm Jiren(Whose power is God of Destruction Tier).We know this Jiren is stronger than Vermouth. In the God of destruction tournament chapter in the manga, he alongside Beerus and Quitella were the last 3 standing.Whis in the anime implied Vermouth was stronger than Beerus before the tournament of power, to which Beerus responded that it was only an arm wrestling match. However, this was shown to be Quitella in the manga.Since we cannot really gauge Beerus's power with Vermouth, I think its fair to classify them as God of destruction tier and conclude that Beerus's power is very relative to Vermouth(Not significantly stronger or weaker).This would make Beerus relative to base Jiren who was completely overwhelmed by Mastered UI Goku.Hence, I think it is fair to conclude that Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku and Limit Breaker Jiren surpassed God of destruction tier. So I think it is fair to assume that Goku in his fully Mastered Ultra Instinct State is indeed stronger than Beerus.


After doing a bit of research, it seems that they both did survive. In the same regard as to when Daichi fired the Boostedmagnum at the debris, supposedly killing Teppei, Daichi's Livlaster pulled the two into the same place, that Teppei was taken that let him survive the blast. It isn't very well explained, but I believe that the little girl with blue hair is Daichi's Livlaster in human form.


(Based on my own memory and understanding of the episode, YMMV.)
It's strongly hinted in the flashbacks and lines dropped by both the other Ai and her Wonder Killer that many key events other than getting involved with the Wonder Eggs still happened, in particular:

Ai developed a crush on Sawaki-sensei;

Koito Nagase killed herself after having some kind of involvement with Sawaki-sensei;

Sawaki-sensei became romantically involved with Ai's mother, and they discussed getting married.

As a result, that universe's Ai suspected that Sawaki-sensei was somehow involved in Koito's death, and that he was using Ai's mother as a means to get to Ai, possibly to molest her. This is why she developed an image of him in her head as a monster.
Note that the main Ai also had these same suspicions, but because she had formed friendships with the other girls (one of whom was related to Sawaki-sensei) and had confronted her fears and anxieties about Sawaki-sensei (and confronted him about it), and had learned more about the nature of the Wonder Killers from her experiences and from Ura-Acca's backstory, she was better able to dismiss her paranoia about Sawaki-sensei.


A guitar riff playing in episode 80 and 85 of My Hero Academia season 4

Maybe this is Sorezore no Mokuhyou (Spotify link)  by Yuki Hayashi, the 5th track in Boku no Hero Academia Season 2 OST album.


The six paths are related to the Sage of the Six paths and Pain. Recall that Pain had clones that each specialized in something? Well each one had contained one path from the six

Deva Path - Attraction and repulsion
Asura Path - Attack and defense
Human Path - Ability to read minds
Animal Path - Ability to summon
Preta Path - Absorbing Chakra
Naraka Path - Summon the Hell King

There is also the 7th path that Pain wasn't able to master, which was the Outer Path, the ability to control life and death. Pain used the Outer Path to revive the members of Konoha, however it costed him his life.

So when Tobi was talking about the 6 paths, he was talking about all the people that had control over the 6 paths. First would be the Sage of the Six paths, then it would be Madara, and lastly it would be Nagato.

On a side note, seeing as how he is not called the Sage of the Seven Paths, I think it is safe to assume he could not  control life and death. Meaning he would also probably have to sacrifice his life in order to use the Outer Path.


What would happen to a Menos or an Arrancar killed with a Zanpakuto?

I don't think it is mentioned anywhere, but what I think would be logical (but does not happen in the anime/manga) is that the myriad of hollows suppressed within a Menos are released (since the dominant personality has been destroyed) while those that were damaged in the process of the attack (e.g. those that constitute the wounded flesh) would be purified. So a large-scale attack that can obliterate a Menos might purify all of the souls.


To my knowledge, they do age, just very slowly in adulthood. This is a genetic trait, I assume, to reach longer duration of physical demands. They are designed to be fighters, and longevity of a lifespan is only practical. Vegeta confirmed this towards the end of DBZ: "So they can fight longer".

From a quick Google search:

  According to the Daizenshuu, Saiyan's lifespan is about the same as an average Human (70 to 90 years, with exceptions, of course), but keep in their peak longer. Unlike Humans, Saiyans remain in their youth and prime much longer. As explained by Vegeta near the end of Dragon Ball Z, they stay young longer because they live for and are built for battle

From Saiyan article on Dragon Ball wiki. (Visit the link for more examples, and a more definitive explanation).

Something else to consider: they stay in their prime longer because they are full Saiyans, whereas Pan is only quarter Saiyan.


Truth himself (itself?) states,

Who am I? One name you might have for me is the world, or you might call me the universe, or perhaps God, or perhaps the Truth. I am All, and I am One. So, of course, this also means that I am you. I am the truth of your despair, the inescapable price of your boastfulness.

Truth is a being which has no physical form, and a being which regulates all alchemical exchanges that take place. He essentially exists in order to prevent humans from "playing God" with alchemy; when human transmutation is performed, for example, Truth intervenes as it is seen as an unfair (inequivalent) exchange.
In these ways, Truth is somewhat symbolic of God. It has also been compared to gods in other mythos, such as Hera, a Greek goddess who was known to vengefully challenge heroes.

Hera was known for her jealous and vengeful nature, most notably against Zeus's lovers and offspring, but also against mortals who crossed her, such as Pelias.
  — Hera, Wikipedia

However, it is important to realize that Truth is not God. While it is certain that they are linked in some way, God is the entity which lies within the domain of the Gate (the eye and mass of black hands that restrain his "victims").
  (The Gate, Truth sitting in front, and God within it. Source: Wikia)
When an alchemist pays the toll and is forced through the Gate by Truth (and by God), they are shown all knowledge about alchemy. Their minds can only absorb so much, but enough is clear that they are able to perform their alchemy without requiring a transmutation circle.
So, what exactly is Truth? He is a vengeful, godlike being, who is linked to God, and governs all alchemical exchanges performed by alchemists. He has no physical form, and exists only metaphysically within the mind of each alchemist.


What happens when two selectors have the same deck colour?

In episode 11 of Selector Spread WIXOSS, There is a same-coloured battle:

    between Mayu & Ruuko (Black vs Black)

It seems like when the selectors are battling with the same deck colour, they can choose who goes first.

This also ties into the real game - where there are no hard set rules on which player goes first. (although I presume this advantage is offset in some way)


Is there any explanation for Whitebeard's Crescent-shaped mustache?

According to the  wiki,

  Later in his life, he grew the prominent crescent-shaped mustache, which would spawn his epithet, "Whitebeard".

Well, there's no canonical reasoning to it as it seems.
But in mangas and animes the animators and/or mangakas usually make certain characters (especially the important ones) in such a way that they stand out from the rest, to make an impact of that character on the fans/viewers/readers minds.

One more reason I thought of could be that the mangas are made in black and white. So there are no colours to support the uniqueness of the characters. So the mangakas rely on the visually striking exotic characterisation of the characters and that has actually worked! It's a psychological successful experiment to make the colourless pictures worth remembering. The mangakas try making most unique characters without violating the copyrights of other characters' appearance from other animes and without making it look like a cliché! (He is playing with your mind and you don't even realize it!)

It's one of the main reasons that animé characters and animes appear weird to the people who don't watch them because the characters are so unusual and unique!

You can figure it out yourself: think of a character and what comes to your mind first (let's say from One Piece and ignore the coloring of the characters):

Luffy: Straw-Hat, scar below the left eye, round-eyes
Zoro: Bad-assness-overflowing, muscles, three piercings, three swords, bandana wrapped around arm
Nami: Tattoo on left arm, perfect body (well... after timeskip)
Sanji: One eye covered with hair, chivalrous getup, spiral eyebrows
Ussopp: Long-nose, crooked body (before the timeskip)
Shanks: No Left Arm, three scars across left-eye
WhiteBeard: Huge, well-built body, black bandana, his crescent-shaped beard (don't use "moon-shaped" please)

I can go on and on for all characters across all animes but this much might suffice...

You can visit wikiHow if you want to know more about how characters are designed. If you are a real otaku and want to know deeper about how the mangas are made, try Bakuman Anime.

Hope this helps and proves reasonable.


Mount Myoboku: a different space/dimension?

As stated in the wiki:

  For a human to get to Mount Myōboku, it either takes a month long travel on secret paths from Konohagakure or, if they have a summoning contract, they can let a toad use the Reverse Summoning Technique. According to Fukasaku, Mount Myōboku is impossible to find by foot for those who don't know the secret route. (Chapter 409)

But whether or not it is in another dimension is nowhere stated. Additionally it is not shown on the World map of Naruto. So it could be on an unknown place on this world (as on an island not yet discovered by the shin-obis or as you said in another dimension or even on another planet.


You're looking for the イハーブの生活 (The Life of Ichabod) manga by Shouji Hiroyuki. It's spans 3 volumes.

  (Ichabod) is the boy who was born by artificial insemination as a child of two women. Elly of the part of father disappears, and it is a family of mother and child with Mary of the part of mother. Ihabu is rebuked by Mary that "you were born as a man is our greatest failure." One day, he cuts off his penis, and he looks for real father registered with a sperm bank and goes for an odyssey.

It was originally published in Kodansha's Afternoon magazine


Why Naruto's hand was not injured using rasenhurikan

It's explained here:

  Naruto is able to overcome these flaws by learning Senjutsu. By coating the Rasenshuriken in Senjutsu chakra, its shape is maintained after formation, meaning that he can use it as a projectile and, as a result, that he no longer needs to worry about damaging himself.

I'm not sure if this was explained in the anime since I only read the manga so if it's not, I suggest reading the manga starting at Chapter 400, which I believe is the start of Naruto's training for Senjutsu.


This is more of a reference to achieving your dreams. Although Hitler established himself as a dictator and as a result gained a lot of power, the author suggests that he still has a longing and regret for not getting into the art academy. Taking "Billy Bat" back into their own hands is more of a symbolism for having the ability to succeed and conquer your dreams. In this entire manga, "Billy Bat" is viewed as a real thing but I believe that the author is simply using that as a form of symbolism when he wants to make a point. If you have watched the Truman Show, it is like the giant physical barrier that keeps Truman within but actually is symbolism for being trapped in the psyche from all the advertisements, propaganda, and control blinding you from the truth. To clarify, this example is not the symbolism the mangaka is using but the idea behind the type of symbolism he is using.

The only weird part to this is when Chuck says, "If you can do that, then his legacy..." Hitler's legacy isn't exactly peachy and it trails off. Because of this, I am not sure if he was going to say something like "then his legacy would be saved" or "then his legacy would be understood". I believe that this would imply that Hitler's legacy is not actually the atrocities he committed but his ability to follow through on his dreams. However, I cannot confirm this last part.

Let's look at three instances "Billy Bat" is shown in a clear and defined manner (whether in a corporeal form or just a symbol). The first is with Neil Armstrong (Chapter 9: Bat Boy's Great Adventure pages 24 and 25). He is the first person to step on the moon and finds a symbol of "Billy Bat". This is because he had achieved the dreams that he and several other people had and therefore has the "Billy Bat".

The second is with Einstein (Chapters 70: Opposing Billies & 71: Time Travel and Infinite Earths) as he apparently met with "Billy Bat". Einstein was close to achieving his dream as he delved deeper into theories of time and the like but after meeting the "Billy Bat" decides to no longer pursue time travel and admonishes Zofu Sensei for pursuing it instead. Einstein never actually has "Billy Bat" as he did not succeed but because of his potential is able to meet it. Deciding not to complete his dream is most likely because his intellect allows him to see that although with the "Billy Bat" he can achieve his dream, perhaps that isn't the best thing in the long run. It's also where Einstein brings a distinction between the two bats, suggesting that not all dreams are always as great as they seem.

Lastly, we can look at Hitler himself. He uses the "Billy Bat" to realize one of the major dreams he had, but upon achieving it, realizes that perhaps that isn't what he truly wanted. I believe that the whole "destruction of the earth" is more of an idea that stems from the terrible power and evil that can come from the same foundation of what is believed to be good. That is why there are two "Billy Bats" both with an apparently different agenda. I believe that "Chapter 102: Adolf and Hitler" puts a lot of what I am trying to say into context. Sorry for this long answer.


How does Kazuma actually die in the beginning of the anime?

Kazuma died because of heart attack.

Actually, the girl will survive even if Kazuma didn't save her. The vehicle that was moving towards the girl was just a slow tractor. After he pushed the girl, Kazuma died because of heart attack, he thought it was a truck and he was scared to death.


In Epiode 378 of One Piece, what is the first song that Brook played?

The song is called Minato Mura.

What if Hashirama had implanted Madara's cells into his body?

It's not the cells but the eyes he would need to have Rinnengan, this is from Naruto wiki:

  Because the Rinnegan was wielded by the Sage of the Six Paths, merging
  the chakra of his two sons, Indra Ōtsutsuki and Asura Ōtsutsuki,
  within one's body brings forth the Sage's chakra, which can evolve
  their Sharingan into the Rinnegan. This was proven when Madara
  Uchiha, Indra's reincarnation at the time, awakened the dōjutsu from
  his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan by infusing the DNA of Hashirama Senju,
  Asura's reincarnation at the time, into his body; however, it did not
  manifest until many years later when he was near death. At some
  point after this, Madara would implant his eyes into Nagato — a young
  boy of Senju lineage.

Also there is a theory from Orochimaru and Kabuto, that says Sharingan came from Rinnegan, so without these eyes no Rinnegan:

  They theorised that because the Sharingan originated from the Rinnegan, it
  was possible for the dōjutsu to change into the Rinnegan as part of a
  "natural evolution"


Why wasn't Byro's magic working on the new Oracion Seis?

During the episode, after Byro is attacked by Midnight (or Brain II), Jackpot says that "Brain's magic refracted the range of Byro's magic and attacked him". This seems to tell us that Byro can only nullify magic within a range (it figures, as otherwise Byro would have been able to nullify all magic around him, however far apart it is, thereby preventing Natsu or Gildarts from even conjuring their powers). Thus Brain's attack lands on him as it surrounds him rather than coming in a straight line. Also, Brain attacked suddenly, catching Byro by surprise, thus giving an additional reason for Byro's inability to nullify Brain's magic. Then again, perhaps Byro may even have a limit to his ability, i.e. he can't nullify magic that is too powerful.

P.S: This particular incident happens in episode 140 'The Reborn Oracion Seis Appears!'. You may want to watch it again to see the part where Jackpot says the above quoted words. I have quoted the English translation that was shown on the screen, the perfect literal meaning may be different in different translations, so sorry if it's something else that you see there. I know only the anime version of the story, not the manga. Manga may have some other explanation.


Why do anime characters have official birthdays?

Why shouldn't anime characters have official birthdays? It would be strange if they didn't have them!

Over in the west animated characters are given birthdays also. Spongebob's date of birth is July 14th, 1986.

Presumably the addition of birthdays is just to make characters a bit more realistic.
And occasionally it helps with character, For example in Kodocha, Akito was given his name as he was born in autumn. Sana was named so because she was born on 7th march.

Sometimes an author will release a 'databook' with information about the different characters including dates of birth, blood types etc. The example below is an excerpt from a Bleach databook.

Birthdays of course can be shown to in the actual show's content, in which case the day the episode was first aired is taken to be their birthday.

However, the most common case is to take birthdays from a character profile

As for historical significance, authors have been giving fictional characters from day one.

Sherlock Holmes's birthdate is  6 January, 1854

TL;DR:  Fictional characters are treated as non-fictional characters to bestow a sense of realism on them, so why shouldn't they have birthdays, blood types and everything else we have?


At what point in the timeline does the Steins;Gate movie take place?

Now that the movie is out, we can definitively say exactly when it takes place in the series. According to Wikipedia:

  The film takes place in August 2011, one year after the events of the anime series.

Having seen the film myself, I can confirm this. The events in the film occur in August 2011, a year after the ending of the anime where Okabe is ostensibly on the Steins;gate timeline. For obvious reasons, it's only compatible with the true ending of the VN (the one which the anime followed most closely).

It is worth pointing out that this is not compatible with the official non-canon sequel Steins;Gate: Hen'i Kuukan no Octet.


Are all works of Seo Kouji set in the same world but in different timelines?

Suzuka(涼風), A Town Where You Live(君のいる町) and Fuuka(風夏) are placed same in Itabashi-ku Narimasu, Tokyo.

From Wikipedia:

  物語の舞台は『涼風』『君のいる町』の舞台でもあり、作者が以前住んでいた東京都板橋区成増である

However, "A Town Where You Live" exists no direct relationship with others currently.


Did Hana Hana no Mi give the user superhuman strength?

If you are asking whether Robin was given superhuman strength by the fruit's powers, the answer is no. The duplicated limbs she creates are no stronger individually than her normal limbs.

To quote the One Piece wiki's page on the Hana Hana no Mi:

  The strength of the user is also still limited to their individual strength, meaning that the individual strength in the replicating appendages is no different to that of Robin's actual corresponding limbs.

However, she can get around that by creating multiple limbs so as to subdue larger people or move heavier objects, as she demonstrated during her fights against Yama and Oars, among others, but even then she has her limits, as she noted how heavy Yama was during her fight with him. The fruit itself doesn't make her any physically stronger, she just uses her powers creatively to make up for her weaknesses.


Why Kisara is able to cut through metal with her sword?

You are correct, Kisara is in fact just a regular human as pointed out in the passage below

Rentaro looked at the scene dumbfounded, shaking. He considered—Who was the strongest member of the Tendo Civil Security Agency? Was it himself, who possessed the abilities of a mechanized solider? Or Enju, who manifested the superhuman physical powers of the Cursed Children? Or Tina, who had the qualities of both? “Papa, no! She’s the most dangerous out of everyone here!” The night before Operation Rapier Thrust, when Tina and Kohina were about to fight, this is what Kohina shouted about Kisara when Kisara went to intervene. Even though Kohina thought that she could win or at least put up a good fight against Tina and tried to continue their match, the moment Kisara intervened, she put her swords away. Even Kohina, an Initiator, understood that she was at too much of a disadvantage if she had to fight Kisara. Against Kisara, an ordinary human.
Kanzaki, Shiden. Black Bullet, Vol. 4 (light novel): Vengeance Is Mine (p. 204). Yen Press. Kindle Edition.

So while Kisara is just a regular human she is insanely powerful, so powerful in fact that even an Initiator as strong as Kohina does not want to fight her. She has been trained in the Tendo Martial Arts (similar to Rentaro) since a very young age and has even developed several of her own secret techniques in her pursuit of revenge against the Tendos.

She’s beautiful, thought Rentaro from the bottom of his heart as he looked up at his fellow pupil, at the same time unable to suppress a shudder. There was not a single opening in her stance, and there was something about it that made Rentaro certain that the moment he stepped within reach of her blade, he would be cut down. Rentaro discreetly took his smartphone from his pocket and looked at its LCD screen. It was almost time to leave for school. She would move soon. Just as he thought, there was almost no need for him to wait. Kisara exhaled softly, and her clear voice rang out. “Tendo Martial Arts Sword Drawing First Style, Number 1—” Her scabbard rang, and her sword was unsheathed with the speed of a lightning bolt: “Tekisui Seihyou.” The slash made an extremely modest whoosh. But the top half of the target in front of Kisara—a carved wooden target wrapped in cloth—was blown off with a destructive blast, and pieces of it flew into the dojo’s walls. The most astonishing thing of all was that there was a distance of more than six meters between Kisara and the target. Rentaro gulped. The striking distance of a sword catapulted by its sheath to accelerate when drawn was equal to the length of the sword plus the length of the swordsman’s arm and step. However, the Tendo sword-drawing technique has something more than that. It was not like Rentaro had seen all of Kisara’s techniques, but he knew that she could slash up to three times her striking distance. And this was data from three years ago…
Kanzaki, Shiden. Black Bullet, Vol. 2: Against a Perfect Sniper (pp. 13-14). Yen Press. Kindle Edition.

Now, about her sword Yukikage (or Snow Shadow) there isn't much revealed in any of the light novels, the passage below contains about the most information

Then, he realized. Rentaro thought she had been using her usual sword-drawing practice sword, but although the black scabbard and base and red cord looked similar, this was a real sword. “The murderous blade, Yukikage, huh…?” “That’s right.” As Kisara stopped working and looked at him, she dusted off the scabbard and held it up to the sunlight coming in through the window. Bathed in the morning sun, the wavy temper pattern on the blade scattered the light, filled with a charm that drew in all who looked at it. Kisara looked at the blade absentmindedly and murmured, “Satomi, did I ever tell you what ‘murderous blade’ means?” “No…” “In Zen, it’s the opposite of the life-saving sword; it negates all human delusion. This…is the sword that will hunt down all the Tendos, Satomi.”
Kanzaki, Shiden. Black Bullet, Vol. 2: Against a Perfect Sniper (p. 15). Yen Press. Kindle Edition.

During the fight with Tina in the office however, it is explicitly mentioned that Rentaro hears the sound of steel as Kisara slides the blade out of the scabbard

“Kisara! The floor… Cut it………!” He could sense Kisara behind him suddenly leaping to action with the sword in her hand. “Tendo Martial Arts Sword Drawing Third Style, Number 8—” Her deep exhalation made the air in the room tense in a second. With all the noise from the gunfire, he shouldn’t have been able to hear it, but Rentaro was sure he could hear the clear sound of steel sliding out of the scabbard. “Unebiko Yuusei—Go swiftly, Yukikage!” The calamity that occurred immediately afterward could scarcely be called a physical phenomenon. It felt like Rentaro’s field of vision was cut into a number of pieces, and along with the cracking sound of an icicle being cleft in two, all around the room were cuts carved in every direction.
Kanzaki, Shiden. Black Bullet, Vol. 2: Against a Perfect Sniper (p. 108). Yen Press. Kindle Edition.

Given that it is never explicitly mentioned that Yukikage is made from Varanium (in the light novel it is always mentioned when blades/weapons are Varanium like Kohina's swords) and given its coloring and the mention of steel in the passage above we can probably assume that it is just a regular Samurai sword (katana), albeit one that has been in the Tendo family for generations.
So, in the end it appears to simply be that Kisara is an unnaturally talented martial artist and that the Tendo Sword style is much more dangerous (and fantastic) than any style that can exists in reality. So it is her martial arts abilities that allow her to cut through the gun (and the floor!) and not any special property of Yukikage.


Why there are no popular manga series based on light novels?

After a decent amount of research, I have to retract my previous answer.

There are in fact a lot of series that started as Light Novels and achieved commercialized success. Some include Accel World, Zero no Tsukaima, Haruhi Suzumiya, and Shakugan no Shana.
Their order of progression was LN -> Manga -> Anime.

Then there are still LN today that have a manga, but no anime , such as Kagerou Project (although scheduled for Spring 2014).


Where can I find this song from The World is Still Beautiful?

Here's the link. The OST was uploaded on September 27, three days after the official release.


What's the difference between Digimon Adventure 1999 and Digimon Adventure 2020?

Aside from the New Songs in Digimon Adventure [2020] (or also called "REBOOT" ) there are some changes made in the anime.
One Notable Factor was that:
The first three episodes of 2020 was basically a movie
they're basically one long prologue to the new series. The end of episode 3 essentially feels like the true beginning to Adventure 2020.
another one is that introduction

As much as I love 99, I think we can all agree 2020 has it beat, at least in its introduction. 99 throws you into all the characters with no time to breathe, and then becomes and episodic show as it develops its world and characters. An approach that worked, but so far 2020 feels so much more like a properly paced series that will slowly add to the cast, which I think will pay off in dividends.

CHANGES TO THE VILLIANS

Digimon Adventure 2020 series: Has Anything Changed From Past To
Present - The Illuminerdi The foes in the series have had some changes
as well with new Digimon entering the series as the obvious foe but
still, there are wild Digimon that the kids must face that may be evil
or just hungry and animalistic in nature. Whether will see some of the
big villains of the original series is yet to be clear but it will
definitely be completely different from the original series.
The original series also had Black gears that made good Digimon evil
but so far they have yet to make an appearance so whether this will be
part of the show later or the new Digimon has replaced them, has yet
to be confirmed.

Another Notable feature about Reboot(2020) is that it had better animation. We know the fact that it is new hence better animation. (or should I say CGI)

This year, fans of the original DigiDestined were in for a treat as a Digimon Adventure reboot was released. Needless to say, the series already has fans buzzing. While there are some obvious changes to the original, Digimon Adventure 2020 has kept a lot of the elements the fans loved. Here's are 5 things the reboot has changed and 5 things they've kept the same so far.

10. Changed: The Date Of Events

In the original Digimon Adventure, the date was an important detail to the plot. The kids get transported into the Digital World on August 1st, 1999. When the kids return to their world they think they've been gone for months, only to realize it has just been a few minutes.
In the reboot, the year is 2020 and the world has been updated. Everyone has a cellphone, laptops, and the Japanese landscape that is shown is one that matches real life. The date is not mentioned at all. All we know is that Taichi and Koushiro are getting ready for summer camp.
9.Stayed The Same: The Effects Of The Digital World

In both the original Digimon Adventure and the reboot, the first episodes show how closely the Digital World and the real world are linked. In the 1999 series, it starts snowing while the kids are at camp, even though it's summer. The entire real world is experiencing weather phenomenons due to the issues in the Digital World.
8. Changed: The Order Of Events
The 1999 Digimon Adventure picks up the story with the DigiDestined at camp before being transported into the Digital World. In the American version, there isn't much information revealed initially as to why these kids are chosen. However, fans of the series now know that the events that took place in the first Digimon movie are canon, explaining why.
In the reboot, the timeline is given a fix. They combine the first movie, The Digimon Movie, and the second, Our War Game. We see glimpses of the other kids but they are not initially involved. We also get the Omegamon evolution, which occurred in Our War Game. At the end of the third episode, it appears the kids have finally arrived in the Digital World as we know it.
7. Stayed The Same: The Roles Of Takeru And Hikari
Yamato's younger brother, Takeru, was initially shown as the runt of the DigiDestined. Alongside Patamon, he was very naive and was often trying to prove his independence. Patamon was the last Digimon to Digivolve to his Champion form, Angemon. Hikari, who doesn't join the group until later, gained Gatomon as a partner who's Ultimate form, Angewomon, is the counterpart of Angemon. Together they play a pivotal role in defeating the Dark Masters.
6
Changed: Introduction Of The Digimon
One of the interesting things about the original Digimon Adventure was that we met all the Digimon companions in their baby forms until they Digivolved into their rookie forms, in which they stay most of the time. This provides a good insight for the DigiDestined and the viewers since any time the Digimon are too exhausted, they can regress to their baby forms.
When Taichi is transported into the Digital World in the reboot, he sees Agumon's baby form, Koromon, as they are falling. By the time they land Koromon has Digivolved into Agumon. Later on, when Taichi has been transported back into the Digital World, Taichi sees Agumon, not Koromon.
5
Stayed The Same: The Personalities Of The DigiDestined
Although not all of the main characters have been introduced yet, it's clear that the characters haven't been given a makeover as far as their personalities are concerned. So far, in Digimon Adventure 2020, we have seen Taichi, Yamato, and Koushiro in action.
4
Changed: Summer Camp
The fateful trip to summer camp changed everything for the kids in the original anime. The kids were at camp together, and right before a big wave hit to drag them to the Digital World, they all received their DigiVices. The camp was also important because it united Yamato and Takeru who did not live together due to their divorced parents. Hikari was also supposed to attend the camp but did not because she got sick, leading to her being sought out later on as the 8th DigiDestined.
In the reboot, fans were thrown through a loop when the kids arrived at summer camp, and... then they left promptly after. This may have been a small way for the show to tribute the original but it also explains that the reboot is taking a different approach.
3
Stayed The Same: The Focus On Taichi And Yamato
It goes without saying that all eight of the DigiDestined played an important role in the original Digimon Adventure. It is clear though that Taichi and Yamato have always had more of a spotlight, especially in regards to their relationship with each other. Early on in the original, Taichi and Yamato were often butting heads as they were both trying to be leaders.
2
Changed: The Abilities Of The DigiVices
One of the coolest parts of being a DigiDestined is owning a DigiVice. The DigiVice is the connector between the kids and their Digimon. The original DigiVice would light up when a Digimon was about to Digivolve, it had a small on-screen map, and most importantly, it played a huge role in stopping the world from being destroyed.
In the reboot, the DigiVice appears to have undergone a complete hardware makeover. The DigiVice now seems to light up dramatically, display the crests in full color, pull up maps, and even allow for holographic communication.
1
Stayed The Same: The Emphasis On Teamwork
Digimon Adventure may have its stand out characters as mentioned earlier, but one of the reasons it has held its ground for the last 20 years, throughout different adaptations, is because of its emphasis on teamwork. No one character or one Digimon could have saved the world by themselves, a point the original Digimon Adventure made sure to drive home time and time again.
In the new series, the saving of Tokyo could not have been possible without the combined efforts of Taichi, Yamato, and Koushiro as well as their Digimon partners. While it may seem like a small detail, the main story has always been about friendship and working together to overcome obstacles.
here are some of the differences in the anime versions explained by CBR
OFFICIAL DIGIMON ADVENTURE (2020) SYNOPSIS

In the year 2020, a series of cyber-attacks across Tokyo are the
result of catastrophic events in another world within the internet,
the Digital World, where creatures called Digimon roam. While getting
ready for summer camp, eight children are transported to the Digital
World where they acquire Digivices and Digimon partners while learning
that they have been chosen to stop the unknown threats to their
worlds.


Why and how is it that Yoruichi can transform into a cat?

There is no definitive answer to this and any attempts at an to answer this would be speculative at most. It was never explained in neither the manga nor the anime.

From the wiki:

  ...While it is unknown how she obtained her cat transformation, she appears to prefer spending most of her time in it....


No, it isn't indiscriminate.

It can be used by the user selectively.

As stated in the Wikia:

  This type of Haki grants the user the ability to dominate the wills of others. The most common usage of it shown in the series so far is using it exert the user's willpower onto those with weak wills and rendering them unconscious. Whilst inexperienced users are restricted to merely overpowering the will of one individual or blindly knocking out weak-willed people around them, those with more expertise can pick out weak-willed individuals in a large group and knock them out without affecting the others.

An instance of this is shown when Camie isn't knocked out when Rayleigh uses it for the first time.


How did Kuroko's vanishing drive affect Momoi?

The way the vanishing drive works is that he diverts their attention for a split second, and is then past them by the time they realise what he's done. Against skilled players in a proper game, he needs something with a huge presence, such as Kagami or Aomine to make them forget about him, and that's the real trick, distracting someone when they're completely focused on you.

However Momoi is not a competitive basketball player and they were not playing in an actual game, so my best guess is that he was able to use something with far less presence than he would normally need, like a street lamp or a car or whatever was nearby.


What was Kakashi's name when he was in the Anbu?

I am pretty sure Kakashi's code name was never revealed or touched upon as I've seen pretty much the entire series.

Fanfics do have names such as Hound but nothing shows that I was ever mentioned in the anime or manga or even any light novel.

Kishimoto Sensei might've answered a question in an interview (highly unlikely though) but I haven't seen any evidence for that yet too

Also I read on this Yahoo Answer that names were usually changed after the missions but I couldn't find anything supporting this assertion.


What does the 'belt' Orochimaru and the Sound Four wear signify?

The belt they are wearing is generally referred to as an "obi."

The belt braided in the style of Shimenawa ropes, sacred Shinto ropes made by twisting together straws. It is hung horizontally to indicate a sacred Shintoism place such as praying hall or torii.

The Wikipedia article (linked above) notes that:

  A variation of the shimenawa is used in sumo wrestling by yokozuna (grand champions) during their entrance ceremonies to denote their rank. This is because the yokozuna is seen as a living yorishiro (formally shintai), and as such is inhabited by a spirit.


A children's anime with a professor and a polar bear

Sounds a lot like Cubitus (a.k.a. Wowser). It features an inventor who has a huge white dog (some people mistake him for a polar bear).


How is Jaeger still alive at the end of Valkyria Chronicles?

I guess it's kind of a cameo. It really looks like Jaegar was killed and no source can be found that he survived. Because of that, all we can do is speculate - And I think, that it was just a cameo like "Hey, it's over, let us show him again!".


Was "Death Note" supposed to end at episode 25/chapter 58?

I can't speak for the writers, but the decline of the series in general after that point makes it so that the show is simply better in a technical sense without them.

Especially, given how one of the single biggest problems is the ending episodes and the total break from Light's character, who would never have been content with only one backup plan. He was facing people he thought were almost as good as L, and so likely wouldn't have underestimated them by not changing his plans at all to accommodate for the possibility of deception after Mello's appearance.

Given how adaptable he was against L, it seemed contrived for failure to lose because he suddenly didn't adapt.


Do the details of these hands with Hebrew letters have any real-life meaning?

I'm a native Hebrew speaker, and it doesn't really have any meaning. There's also Hebrew in the 4th ending, and there are some real words in there but no actual sentences, so I'm 99% sure that it is incidental. Also the script in the palm of the hands in the picture above is in fact Hebrew, but like someone else has commented the fingers contain random scribbles and Japanese kana (I also speak Japanese lol). The script used in the picture from the Kabbalah is actually the exact same Hebrew font as the one from the other pic, just not the same letters. They use a font that is quite similar to the one used in religious texts.


What are the dimensions of Cathedral Terra?

The non-existence of a fact is hard to demonstrate, but I believe this to be the case. I have searched for quite a while and still, the most precise measurement I could find was the mention in Wikia which says:

  The Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann is under half the size of Earth.

It should be possible to calculate a more precise size using the known size of Earth and the visible arc of it in this picture with the relation to Cathedral Terra:


What are those petite animals that resemble the main cast?

Translated from the Puchimas anime website:

  Puchidols are mysterious cute little living creatures that reside at 765 Productions. They're the kind of organism that shoots beams, warps around (I think this means like teleportation), digs holes, and heals others, but they are still quite mysterious. But don't you get the feeling that they resemble the idols of 765 Productions?

Well, that's the official explanation, but I don't think it actually answers your question. It even reiterates your question of "why do they look like the idols"...


What does Kakashi's Anbu mask represent?

Kakashi Hatake's Anbu mask resembled a dog's face with red and black markings around the eyes, sides, and mouth.

How did N come to the conclusion that Light Yagami was Kira?

N researched the past, so much of his conclusions match L's, so I will start from the beginning as to why N (and L) thought Light was the killer.

Chapter 2/Episode 2 (19:11): The killer must be in the Kanto region.
Chapter 3/Episode 3 (3:35): The killer must be a student.
Chapter 4/Episode 3 (10:40): The killer must be a relative of the police.
Chapter 11/Episode 6 (8:45): The killer acts alone and must be among those investigated by the FBI during the first 5 days.
Chapter 15/Episode 8 (5:58): The killer was investigated by Raye Penbar and is thus part of Chief Yagami's family or part of Sub-Chief Kitamura's family.
Chapter 19/Episode 9 (15:35): L's gut tells him Light is the killer.

From this point onwards, L keeps suspecting Light, but could never find any concrete evidence proving this conjuncture. This was mainly due to the false rules put in by Light himself. If it was not for those rules, Light would have been convicted. Then in chapter 58/episode 25 (18:45) L dies and in chapter 59/episode 27 (1:25) N and M come into play and the cat-and-mouse-game starts all over again.

Chapter 60/Episode 27 (13:22) (M): The killer must know about the abduction of director Takimura.
Chapter 63/Episode 27 (20:27) (N): L is a fake and now called L2.
Chapter 75/Episode 30 (1:44) (N): L2 is the killer.
Chapter 77/Episode 30 (10:53) (M): N finds out one of the rules is fake by M.
Chapter 78/Episode 30 (12:16) (N): The 13 day rule is believed to be fake.
Chapter 79 (N): The rule is confirmed to be fake.
Chapter 82/Episode 31 (13:27) (N): The killer must be the son of Chief Yagami, Yagami Light.
Chapter 85 (N): It is confirmed that Light is the first killer and Misa is the second killer.

From this point onwards, N keeps suspecting Light, but again needed evidence to actually convict Light. It took N until chapter 103 to gain this evidence and he only got it by chance too.

Chapter 103/Episode 36 (21:16): Light confessed Victory is mine
Chapter 103/Episode 37: Mikami calls Light a God (2:37), and the only name not written down is Light's (3:00)

This was considered enough evidence to convict Light and the game of the killer is finally over when Ryuk kills Light.


Is Plue in Fairy Tail and in Rave the same?

Plue of Rave Master is a stout, white creature, reminiscent of a snowman, that only comes up to three feet in height. Plue was born in the Kingdom of Symphonia, signifying he is a creature of some sort. (Source: Rave Master Wiki)

In contrast, Plue aka Nikora, "The Canis Minor" (ニコラ Nikora) is a Silver Key Celestial Spirit that has no obvious combat abilities. It is stated to usually be kept as a pet for low-powered Mages who is in contract with Lucy Heartfilia. (Source: Fairy Tail Wiki)

Since both series have the same author, Mashima must've decided to use his own design again. But they are different, as one of them is a creature, while the other is a celestial spirit.


The Female Titan arc (57th expedition) DOES NOT take place beyond the walls. It takes place in the area between Wall Maria and Wall Rose, so anything we see there is just a part of the lost territory within the walls. This also includes when we first met Levi and his squad, because the 56th expedition took place from Trost since Maria had already fallen.

MAJOR SPOILERS FROM CHAPTER 85 AND 86 OF THE MANGA

   As it turns out, the walls are on an island called Paradis, with a sizeable amount of land between the walls and the island's coast, but a mainland off the west coast of Paradis is home to humans (the Eldian and Marleyan ethnicities) and is not infested with Titans as Paradis is.


Aichi and Kourin had very similar decks but they were not identical. For example, Kourin is seen to have a Stardrive Dragon, which Izaki and Morikawa remark earlier in the episode is 'legendary' and not available or easy to find anymore. Aichi is never seen to play this card. She also uses Crimson Butterfly, Brigette, which again is a card that Aichi never plays. Despite Kourin having cards like Wingal that appear to exclusively support Aichi's Blaster Blade, she is never seen to use one herself.

I believe the main purpose of Kourin and Aichi's first cardfight was to establish that even with similar decks, their skill and play styles are very different. Kourin does not appear to have deliberately copied Aichi's deck.

In episode 23, I believe you are correct. Kourin and Ren use pre-built identical decks to judge Ren's skills without access to his usual cards.


Is there a specific arc for Sinon in the anime?

The whole Phantom Bullet arc is Sinon's arc, in the same way the Fairy Dance is mostly Leafa's arc, for the most part. Neither character has another side-story outside of these arcs, seeing as most of their past is expanded within them.

In the Light Novels, this is Volumes 5 and 6. Most of what you want to know about Shino/Sinon will be in those two volumes.


How does wind chakra amplify water style?

Weakness has nothing to do with whether or not two elements amplify each other. It has to do more with the fact that both chakra natures are coming from the same side (either the same person or allies).

Some elements' weaknesses work by the "stronger" element canceling out the "weaker" one (e.g. water canceling out fire). Others work by the "weaker" amplifying the "stronger" one (e.g. lightning amplifying water, wind amplifying fire).

However, if one person (kekkei genkai/two chakra natures) or two allies (cooperation jutsu) are using a technique, the chakra will generally combine to create a stronger technique (because energy will be released even if two elements cancel each other). For example, ice style = water + wind, and vapor style = water + fire. This is similar in that Naruto's wind style is augmenting the impact force of the water via a cooperation jutsu.


Can conquerors Haki give someone brain damage?

If you are knocked out by the Conqueror Haki you are no longer susceptible to other non-physical influences from a biological point of view. You can only be receptive once you are conscious.

Unfortunately, the anime / manga does not support my thesis, as in both the Conqueror Haki was not used several times in a row.

It can not be said at this point that Luffy's battles in which he competes against strong opponents and the impact of the release of the Conqueror Haki made a similar comparison with the deliberate use and switch off by the Conqueror Haki are comparable.

Conclusion: I do not think that this could cause damage.

Anyway, in the anime sometimes you see people slowly getting up but moving very slowly from the effect of the Conqueror Haki. I would say that if the character is strong enough you could at least speak of a "long-term effect" if the disabled people take a long time to get fit again. Maybe it would be possible to deprive people of their full physical abilities for days.


What were Alluka's first three wishes from Killua (after reunion)?

Remember that when Alluka requests something, she can't force it to happen. Like when they Alluka was a kid, and wanted something, she couldn't force the other person to do it. They simply fulfilled her request, whenever they could (except when Alluka's parents forbade them from doing so).

Killua and Alluka definitely played shiritori together, and when Alluka said "wake up," this was a request he fulfilled, since he was "sleeping". Lastly, we definitely saw Killua pat her head.

It seems that the family observed that Killua did not grant Alluka her request of, "Die." He simply said, "Okay, sure," pretended to die, and made her laugh in the process. But he did not actually do anything to harm himself. This allowed them to think that exactly three requests had been performed.

Note: In reality, the reason that the requests work this way is explained in a very convoluted and expository manner in episode 146.

From what I can understand, there is a difference between when Alluka makes a request and when Something makes a request. The two are different, and "wishes" can only be fulfilled by actualizing requests from Something. However, the initial "wish" we see Killua make is not a "wish", it's a "command", so it doesn't count as a wish. Confused? Good, me too.

So in reality, since Killua was with Alluka, he was not in any danger of receiving requests. (I feel like this contradicts earlier flashbacks, but that's just a matter of Togashi's writing being, er... poor.)

However, since the original question is about why the Zoldyck family thought it was three requests, the above answer remains true. (Edited a small bit to reflect this.)


To which Singaporean building does the one in this still correspond?

According to this wikia page and evident by photographs, it is the Raffles Hotel.


Why is it that Volunteer Army Necklace consists of two tags?

I believe that the volunteer army necklace can be likened to the Dog tags of our world, as a proof of identity in case of death.

In our world, dog tags are used to identify who the corpse belonged to and we receive two sets of these things. Two plates hang on our necks and 1 plate each on our ankles. In the scenario that we are unable to get our corpse back to our families, we were ordered to rip off one of the tags on our necks and hand them to our comrades if necessary. It is also used to identify mutilated corpses.

In the case of Grimgar, it most likely has the same effect. Since when they die, they become zombies, they would need to use other methods to notify their team mates they are dead. Simply leaving one of the tags there seem to be the method they opted for. Another reason is most likely to tell them who the zombies they encounter are and if possible, please get them purifed.


Logia users, whose element is lighter than air, can fly by transforming (at least) their  lower body into that element:
Moku Moku no Mi (Smoke fruit)
Gasu Gasu no Mi (Gas fruit)
I am unsure if the Pika Pika no Mi (Light fruit) is based on the same or rather the special property of light.
I am not aware of other Logia users truly flying with their ability. They rather propel themselves into the air (e.g. Mera Mera no Mi / Fire fruit and Suna Suna no Mi / Sand fruit).
The Yuki Yuki no Mi (Snow fruit) can grant flight by creating wings made of snow but that is less of a Logia thing itself.


Why has Sakura Yamauchi never had a pancreas transplant?

I haven't seen the animated film but I assume her condition is the same as the manga which is Pancreatic cancer, it's mentioned on page 20 of chapter 1 on the first page of her "Infirmity Novel" (a journal she's keeping about the progression of her disease). As @paulnamida mentions in a comment and a bit of Googling around a pancreas transplant is occasionally done for people with Type 1 Diabetes but not for Pancreatic cancer. Usually Pancreatic cancer is discovered too late to be treated as it is more difficult than most cancers to detect in its early stages due to its symptoms being mistaken with those of other illnesses more common than cancer. By the time it is detected it has often already started to spread to other parts of the body which makes a transplant of just the pancreas futile. If the cancer had been caught early enough (which the story seems to imply it wasn't) and has yet to spread to other parts of the body then it can be treated by surgically removing part of the pancreas via Whipple Surgery which would not require a transplant to be done anyway.


Why does the knight leader have the power level of a saint?

This is explained in episode 12. From the Crunchyroll EngSub (the best source I could find), around the 10 minute mark, while Knight Leader is defeating Kanzaki:

  Within our realm, the king is the archangel and knights are angels!
  I don't car if you are a saint, as long as we are in this land, the amount of power I have is on an entirely different level.

He traces this back to how the country was formed, and it is later explained that the UK itself was created by Henry VIII like this in order to be independent from the pope, so the power of the knights seems to be part of the country's structure, so Carissa was unable to take this power away from him.


Why doesn't Sasuke try to kill Kabuto after he releases Itachi?

Sasuke doesn't try to kill Kabuto for three reasons:

He was following Itachi's lead.
Kabuto was already defeated.
He didn't encounter Kabuto again until Kabuto was reformed.

While fighting, Itachi comes to sympathize with Kabuto, because of the similarity between their lives. They were both spies, with betrayal as their forte, erasing their identities and allegiances, hardly aware of who they really were as a result. When Itachi traps Kabuto in the Izanami, the battle is finished. Kabuto cannot escape the jutsu until he chooses the path of reformation. Itachi also manages to get Kabuto to release the reanimation jutsu. There is no need to kill Kabuto at this point, and Itachi thus won't kill him.
Sasuke is following Itachi's lead. Though for most of the series, Sasuke hates Itachi for killing their clan, his hate returns to love again once he learns Itachi's reasons for destroying their clan (and after killing Itachi), and he seeks revenge on the Leaf Village for betraying Itachi, mainly out of his love for Itachi. Thus, Sasuke is swept away by Itachi's return, even going so far as to switch sides and help Itachi defeat Kabuto. Sasuke is unlikely to disregard Itachi's decison to leave Kabuto alive and thus doesn't finish the job even after Itachi disappears.
Finally, Sasuke doesn't pursue killing Kabuto at any time afterwards because the next time they meet, it is as allies. During the war, when Sasuke is injured, Kabuto shows up and heals him (see section Birth of the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki on Kabuto's wiki article). Kabuto chose to accept the path Itachi left for him, and thus is reformed and an ally. Sasuke does have good reason to trust Kabuto, because Itachi's Izanami left no other option but for him to become someone Sasuke can trust (aside from staying trapped in a time loop forever), and Kabuto healing him is proof of this. At this point, there is no reason for Sasuke to kill him.
Addendum
As these episodes have begun to air in the English version on Toonami in the United States, I've gleaned some additional information from rewatching them. Particularly, my statement that Sasuke's hatred turned to love may be a severe oversimplification. After watching the episode where the battle begins, I can more accurately explain why Sasuke decided to fight against Kabuto. This is only peripherally relevant to the question, but I'll include it anyway, as I believe it will be of interest to readers.
The episode in question is The Risks of the Reanimation Justsu. When Itachi and Sasuke arrive, Kaubto seems to believe Sasuke will side with him, but Sasuke makes this statement to Itachi, after Itachi blocks his shuriken:

"He's just like Orochimaru, which makes him my enemy. Right now, he's
your enemy too, isn't he?"

This simple statement explains why Sasuke is against Kabuto, but there is additional information as to why Sasuke sides with Itachi. He says to Kabuto,

"I only came here chasing after Itachi so that I could talk to him."

Sasuke and Itachi seem to reach an accord that Itachi will answer his questions after the battle. The accord exists in Sasuke's mind, at least; Itachi's responses seem a bit shifty. Sasuke seems to understand this, as he later says,

"Itachi, you always kept lying to me; saying things like 'Next time'
and 'Later', and then you died on me. So this time for sure; I'm going
to hold you to your promise."

(Excuse the odd punctuation; I'm doing my best to capture the nuances of the statement, but I only have so much grammatical knowledge).
This explains why Sasuke sides against Kabuto and why he sides with Itachi. There is an additional quote in here that is directly related to the original question: After Sasuke asks Itachi why he stopped his shuriken (the first quote), Itachi gives Sasuke a direct order not to kill Kabuto:

"I hear you, Sasuke. And we will talk later. First we need to take
this one down. But don't kill him. If you kill the caster of the
Reanimation Jutsu, it can never be undone."

Itachi further gives his battle plan to Sasuke, which Sasuke seems to non-verbally acknowledge.


To do a 'Unison Raid', do you have to have the same type of magic?

The definition of Unison Raid is

  An extremely powerful ability that allows two Mages to unite two kinds of Magic similar in nature together, thereby creating an even stronger attack.

The Wikia page listed Unison Raid that has been performed in the series. We have:

Lucy (Aquarius) + Juvia = Water + Water
Gray + Juvia = Ice + Water
Wendy + Lucy (Scorpio) = Wind + Sand
String + Rogue = Light + Shadow

All of the elements that they use doesn't go against one another. In video games usually Light and Dark/Shadow are opposite elements, but in nature, whenever there is light, there is darkness/shadow. So in nature they are not opposites and in fact are quite similar.

Now, there is a problem with what you stated in your question. Mirajane doesn't use song magic. Her magic is a Take Over (transformation) magic. When Mira sings, she sings normally, not with magic, so you can't Unison Raid that.

Is it possible to Unison Raid 2 song magics? Yes, it is. But both mages needs to match the frequency of their song so that the resulting sound wave doesn't cancel each other out. So if the first mage use a song magic that results in the following sound wave (a sine wave),

Then the second mage's song magic must create a sound wave that have the same frequency (same position of hills and valleys). They may have a different amplitude (height and depth of the hills and valleys), it doesn't matter.

However, if the second mage failed to make a sound wave of the same frequency, let's say that he created a cosine sound wave, then the resulting Unison Raid wouldn't be as strong, if it can be called a Unison Raid that is. It is even worse if he created a -sine wave. They will cancel each other out.
