texts: When did the event related to Rurichiyo Kasumioji really happen?

texts:
In Bleach, while Ichigo and the gang invading Hueco Mundo, they keep cutting away to Rurichiyo Kasumioji and her story:

   they save her, kill the guys with the Hollow Swords, and save the head captain.

When did that really happen? Did they help her before or after going there?

He said that there is something strange about Arima and then he noticed something about his eyes. What was it that he noticed?


texts: Could reanimated Nagato revive anyone he wanted?

texts:
This is question leads from the previous question "Why didn't Nagato revive Yahiko"
As Nagato could use the reviving jutsu in exchange for his life (this jutsu will drain all the user's chakra and die eventually), I thought if he's reanimated, then he will have infinite chakra, he can revive anyone (even himself).
Is it possible?


texts:
During the Chunin exam,

   when Lee fights Gaara, Kakashi says that as you open more Gates, the risk of death rises.
 Well, when Guy fights Kisame, Guy has already opened several Gates (up to 6) before the final attack, and they have been open for quite a lot of time (relatively) before the seventh Gate is opened.
 And of course as he opens more Gates, with his stamina rate supposedly decreasing exponentially, I'm pretty sure he was supposed to be "pretty exhausted".
 But still, when he opened the seventh Gate, he still had enough time to talk and stop Kisame from escaping.

Shouldn't this be too much for him?


texts: How does element dominance work in Avatar?

texts:
Even though I learnt this concept from the Naruto series, it really makes sense:

When you blow (wind), fire will increase... so fire > wind
When you throw water on fire, it diminishes... so water > fire
When you smash water against it, it will have no effect on solid (earth)... so earth > water
And so on...

Following this logic, why can't waterbenders beat firebenders in Avatar (The Last Airbender)?

I also noticed that Aang himself, who is an airbender, could defend against firebending with his airbending skills. (note that I am referring to those earlier episodes when he was just an airbender (season: 1, episode: 1-5))

How does it work in Avatar? Which elements dominate over each other?

Additional Info:
few assumptions work in (Naruto) ninja world, that I didn't consider to include in the question because the question is actually focused on AVATAR not NARUTO

Element user's chakra flow matters in chakra domination. Example: Naruto vs  Third Raikage
Combination of chakra elements. example: Water+Wind > Fire


texts: Why does Yomi relate 3661 with "Samurai"?

texts:
In the last episode of Azumanga Daioh, Yomi relates 3661 with samurai word.

I know is a mnemonic technique to remember things, so things should be something like:

3 ~> sa ~> san
6 ~> mu ~> ??? (maybe shape of hiragana? む )
6 ~> ra ~> ...roku??
1 ~> i  ~> ichi

But I couldn't guess at all why relates 6 with both mu and ra. Any idea?

texts: What half episode specials follow Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood?

texts: I have seen it referenced under a different post that there are four half episode length specials following Brotherhood. I’m in this point of sadness and mass of emotion after finishing the series and just want to see more about their life. Particularly I would like to see Winry and Ed enjoying their relationship as well as see Al. In addition the story never goes to mention what happened to their granny. I’m guessing she died? It seems like she never got to see ed and Al back in their original bodies. I also kind of wonder whether van Holstein died before or after Ed and Al’s reunion with Winry.


texts: What happened at the end of the Magical Warfare's anime? Is Kazuma a Gekkou?

texts: Why does Naruto’s anime and manga have huge differences?

texts: I started to watch Naruto and I didn’t read the manga. Some people told me that they have so many differences and its even like a separated version. Why is it like that? I searched it on Google but couldn’t find anything.


texts: What's the difference between Toshiro and Ichigo's Zanpakuto lore?

texts:
In the series, it's explained that Zangetsu is a part of Ichigo and was suppressing his powers. Since he didn't want Ichigo to become a shinigami, he was practically always hindered Ichigo, as one day he might have to kill him depending on his changes.

Sorry but I read the following part in a wiki. Zangetsu tells Ichigo that the Zanpakuto is physical representation of Ichigo's power, and Ichigo remembers its red ribbon from his friend.

This is where I get a little confused. In one episode, Toshiro and another guy had same dream about the sword and both wielded the sword for a short time. The Soul Society then decided only one can wield him. However, if the Zanpakuto is a part of a shinigami, then how can two people have same power? And how come Toshiro had dreams about wielding the sword, while Ichigo didn't? If it wasn't for Rukia power awaking and Urahara forcing through Kido, Ichigo could never have become a shinigami.

It's like Toshiro's Zanpakuto was given to him by Soul Society because they agreed he was worthy of it after beating the other guy.


texts: What happens if a Devil Fruit is destroyed?

texts:
We know that if a Devil Fruit user dies, their fruit reappears (see In One Piece, does a Devil Fruit reappear after the user dies?). However, this doesn't answer the question of what happens when the fruit gets destroyed without being eaten. I don't know if that's even possible, but I imagine so with sufficient effort.

If a devil fruit is destroyed, would the fruit reincarnate in a nearby fruit (the same as when the user dies), or would it be destroyed for good?

texts: Killing Conjoined Twins using Death Note

texts:
There are Mr. A and Mr. B. They are conjoined twins who each has their own set of organs except for the heart. I write the name of Mr. A while imagining his face, with the cause of death being falling from the top of Tokyo Tower head first. Let's say the difference in height between the two is less than 1 cm. Will Mr. B also die?

According to How to Use: XXVI, item 2:

  Even though only one name is written in the Death Note, if it influences and causes other humans that are not written in it to die, the victim's cause of death will be a heart attack.

However, a heart attack will also kill Mr. B.

Additionally, How to Use: X, item 2 stated:

  Whether the cause of the individual's death is either a suicide or accident, if the death leads to the death of more than the intended, the person will simply die of a heart attack. This is to ensure that other lives are not influenced.

This question is a bit different than the one proposed as possible duplicate. In the proposed question, the death of the pilot or the surgeon doesn't necessarily means that the people in the plane or the one in the surgery will 100% die. There is a delay before they actually die. Surgery is rarely done by only one doctor. It usually is done by a team of doctors, so the other doctors can still save the patient. Flying a plane is also the same. There is also the co-pilot. In the case of my question, killing Mr. A is the same as killing Mr. B since they share the same heart with no delay whatsoever to save Mr. B.

texts: Does the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm series miss any of the Manga's plot?

texts:
So i watched a review on Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 on Good Game SP. Hex and Bajo said it was the last in the series which probably finishes where the manga finishes.

I have been wondering if the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm series contains all the manga plot and also if they include any of the fillers from the anime series (considering the anime hasn't caught up to the end of the Manga)


texts:
So Obito can transfer any of his body parts that are in contact with the enemy to the time-space of the Kamui and make it look like he cannot be touched.

But then in some of the fight scenes, for instance I remember when he was fighting Guy and Naruto, he was about to touch Naruto but guy kicked him from behind so he didn't solidify and let himself pass through Naruto and let Guy's kick pass through him. Well at that time, why did he even need to transport his hand too? Couldn't he just transport the part of his body that was about to be kicked by Guy and then touch Naruto?

Why did he transport his fingers using the Kamui too? It was completely unnecessary and he could have taken down Naruto if he didn't do that..


texts: I know that, in Naruto, Kages (such as the Hokage) run the hidden villages (such as Konoha). There are, however, also other people in the world with political powers, such as feudal lords. What political power does a Kage have as opposed to one of the other political leaders in the world? To further that question, where in the hierarchy of all of the political people in the world do they fall? To clarify, do they answer to anybody or command any other political leaders, and if so, in what regards?


texts: Does Drachma play any role in FMA beyond being what Briggs defended against?

texts: In the parts of FMA when they are at Fort Briggs, they say that Fort Briggs defends against the country of Drachma. As far as I remember, though, that is the only time that Drachma is mentioned. Is it relevant to any other parts of the series, or is it only important as a reason for Fort Briggs to exist?


texts: Why does Charles zi Britannia say "Yes, you're worthy of being called my child now!" at Lelouch's action?

texts:
I've only seen the English dub of Code Geass and this scene is from it.

We learn later on that in the end, Charles was not evil and he was trying to create a better world just like Lelouch. So, when Lelouch did something truly evil in the anime at some point (I think it was when that ship full of material exploded and took their allies out with it), he said

  Yes, you're worthy of being called my child now!

Why does Charles say that since he's not truly evil?


texts: Why didn't Reaper killed Ango even after he attempted to rape Hana?

In the Netflix series 7 Seeds, the job of Reaper was to protect the project from failure and kill anyone who tries to threaten the safety of it. Even after Ango unsuccessfully attempts to rape Hana, and then Hana goes missing, he didn't kill Ango and just observed from distance.
So why didn't Reaper kill Ango even after he attempted to rape Hana?


texts: What is the trope of a leader being overburdened with paperwork, and is it specific to anime?

texts:
In many anime where a protagonist makes it to the top of an organization, they are often seen diligently sitting at a desk signing documents, and often times they will attempt to escape.  Sometimes this is only an episode or 2, other times it's a running trope throughout the series.  For example, Tessa from Full Metal Panic (MAL), Sion from Legend of Legendary Heroes (MAL), and Bezelbub from  Beelzebub-jou no Okinimesu mama. (MAL).

Is this a trope specific to anime, Japanese Culture, or something else?  I'm only familiar with it in anime, though I suspect it's a cultural thing from Japan.

When Kirito fights The Gleam Eyes this is the first time he uses his Dual Wield ability which was the reason why he had a second sword commissioned by Liz, after he killed the boss his HP was quite low.

Before he uses it he's hesitant in using it, was this because Dual Wielding drains HP when active or was his hesitation more to do with the ability becoming more widely known?

texts: How could someone like Hashirama die in the First Shinobi World War?

texts:
Hasirama is one of the most OP characters in the Naruto series. No one could match his strength, even Madara, and he had crazy regenerative abilities. Basically, he had no weaknesses. Narutopedia sums it up pretty well:

  Hashirama was famed as the strongest shinobi of his era, reputed as a God of Shinobi ... His body was brimming with vitality, granting him considerable regenerative powers that could mend most injuries with no residual effects ... Hashirama was proficient in all five basic nature transformations, along with Yin and Yang Release ... [It goes on and on]

So how did someone like him die in the First Shinobi World War? He alone has the same power as an entire village, and so long as he is careful, no one can even scratch him. And if he gets hurt, he can just heal it and shrug it off. So how could he so carelessly die?

Sun - from Journey to the West.

Are there any other characters that were based on other stories?


texts: How did Brook know what his devil fruit was?

texts:
What I'm wondering is...is it possible to know what devil fruit power a devil fruit holds before a character eats it? Don't devil fruit eaters find out what their devil fruit powers are by experiencing the powers first hand.

I'm asking this because how on earth would Brook know that he ate the revive-revive fruit if he hasn't died yet? (For reference, in a flash back before he became a skeleton, the crew members ask him how his revive-revive devil fruit power works, to which he replies "I'm not exactly sure, I haven't died yet, so I wouldn't know." -I'm paraphrasing of course)

She also says somewhere that electricity is her source of energy or otherwise she becomes lethargic. But how do Kanna get energy in the dragon world? Should I assume that electricity exist in dragon world? If that is the case, how can she turn her tail into a plug if she exist as a dragon in dragon world? What is the source of energy for Kanna in dragon world? Is it electricity? Does they require any source of energy if they exist in the form of dragons? Below is the picture for context:

Is there any explanation to why there are gun-shaped CAD, from the point of view of an advantage to the magician, or is it just for visual dramatic effect?


texts: How can Boruto handle a Chōōdama Rasengan?

texts:
We see that at the end of Boruto:Naruto the Movie,

   Boruto defeats the enemy by hitting him with what it seems a Chōōdama Rasengan (IMHO it looks larger than a Chōōdama Rasengan). I think Naruto infused some of his chakra in Boruto's jutsu to make it that big.

We see it took time for Jiraiya and Naruto to master the Rasengan, and Naruto was actually the only one to take it to the next level by adding his wind chakra (at the time).

So how can Boruto handle this large amount of chakra? Yes everyone says that Boruto can easily beat Naruto if you compare them at the same genin stage of their lives, but that doesn't mean Boruto is trained to manipulate such an insane amount of chakra. How was he able to pull it off?

In chapter 66 of the Dragon Ball Super manga Vegeta's energy wasnt able to refill Goku of energy to reactivate his Ultra Instinct technique, but after receiving Uub's energy he was able to. Goku hints that it was because Uub's energy feels like the ki of a god, but Vegeta is also supposed to have god ki. Are Vegeta god ki and Uub "energy of a god" supposed to be different? Do they spell differently in the original japanese version?
Why Vegeta's energy wasnt able to reactivate Goku's Ultra Instinct but Uub's energy was?


texts: Is there a standard energy consumption on the usage of Devil Fruit powers?

texts:
Im on Episode 685, and while Captain Law runs out of energy after using his ability to deflect/slice about 4 meteors the size of the Sunny (rough estimate), I'm seeing this guy with Flamingo now controlling enough stone to be an actual mountain in a human shaped form, smashing his fists all over the place, with no apparent attempt at conserving energy.

So are some Devil Fruit powers just lucky, and allow infinite or a massive amount of usage, for example moving a mountain constantly for a hour or two, while others are extremely limited? Does it have nothing to do with the amount of work being done, for example?

In other words, is there any gauge or limit for the usage of all DF powers, or does it vary just completely randomly?


texts:
So, the Monogatari series has four season, and soon will be five, and if we look at the production order, based on this question, and this Wikipedia page it will be:

Bakemonogatari (2009–2010)
Nisemonogatari (2012)
Nekomonogatari (Kuro) (2012)
Monogatari Series: Second Season (2013)
Monogatari Series: Second Season + α or Hanamonogatari (2014)

As you can see, "Second Season" is the fourth and fifth season of anime, so why the title "Second Season"?


texts: How do 3D objects coincide with traditional 2D animation?

texts:
I was watching an episode of Shirobako. I love how the anime gives you a slight in-depth view on the production process. However, something I can't get my mind around is those few segments that involve CGI (in anime in general) with the interaction of traditional 2D animation such as stationary or moving objects.

In the episode, a scene in Exodus where the girls rides a jeep while avoiding explosion was shown in key animations/"genga": http://sakuga.yshi.org/post/show/10903.

As you can see, the 3D bike and characters basically move together on a plane. Could it be that the bike is animated frame by frame in traditional animation somehow? Or the other way around? Or could it be more technical than those?

Weren't forehead protectors are worn by most Shinobi since the summons are technically mini ninjas?

In episode 26 of the anime, Silver/Ooguro/Tatsuya annihilated the Chinese fleet in one shot with Material Burst. No wonder his aunt had his ability locked...

What is the size of that crater? It was shown in satellite images to have eaten a piece of the coastline! Estimate from a screenshot if no source exists.

Since it was at the sea, of course the crater is filled with.... duh, seawater.

So by the images of episode 26, how big was the blast Ooguro caused?


texts: When did Lelouch take the Code from his father?

texts:
When I was just searching for theories for why people believe Lelouch is still alive, I found a theory which says Lelouch took the Geass from his dad, so when he was killed he actually became immortal. But on re-watching the series I can't find any such scene where we see Lelouch taking the Code from his dad. Or did I miss something?

When I watched the anime for the first time, I remember it had extra scenes like Lelouch driving the cart, which wasn't present when I re-watched the series. I read that it was removed later.

So, did the writers remove the scene in which Lelouch takes the Code from his dad?
I am getting an impression that the writers had plans on keeping Lelouch alive, initially. They came out and said the ending was left ambiguous for the reader to interpret as they want, and then, they removed that scene and declared Lelouch is dead.


texts: Why did Kirito toss the sword away in episode 17 of the second season?

texts:
Towards the end of episode 17 (of the second season of SAO), after extricating Excaliber from the dais in the lowest level of Thrymheim, Kirito makes a comment about the sword "still being too heavy" for him. He then throws Excaliber away before jumping onto the flying tentacle-elephant.

Why did he do that? He doesn't seem averse to accepting the sword from Sinon a few minutes later (after she grabs the sword out of the air with one of her arrows), so it didn't seem like a "I am unworthy to wield this sword" type of thing.

texts:
Girls make contracts with Kyubey - they will have a wish granted in exchange of fighting witches using their new powers.

But, what is the consequence of simply not doing it? What if magical girls simply ignore Kyubey?

It somehow doesn't seem like Kyubey even has the power to kill them, otherwise he could just kill off Homura who keeps ruining his attempts to make a contract with Madoka.

The only thing that occurs to me is that their magic will deplete overtime and they need to kill witches to recharge - but then again I imagine that if they never fight witches they'd never deplete their magic in the first place.

texts:
I'm on episode 5 of Black Lagoon, and I noticed this symbol being used by the Nazis on a flag and on a red arm band worn by one of the leaders of the group.

What's this symbol called, assuming it corresponds to something in real life? Is there any reason this should be used over a more recognisable symbol like the swastika? It doesn't correspond to anything listed on the Wikipedia page for Nazi symbolism.

EDIT: In response to the idea that it might have been censorship specific to Funimation, I decided to look up the episode on a Chinese streaming site I use. The symbol there was identical to the one in the Funimation episode. Of course, this doesn't mean that there couldn't have been censorship on the Chinese end as well.


texts: Why don't titan shifters keep their napes hardened all the time

texts: When Levi took down the beast titan in season 3 part 2, the beast titan mentions that Levi is too fast and that he won't be able to harden his nape in time. So why don't all titan shifters keep their napes hardened all the time?


texts: Why does Jojo's Bizarre Adventure have so many English references?

texts:
In the sub-titled version of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, there are many points in the story where one of the character's repeatedly uses an English phrase.

Examples include Mr. JoeStar saying "Holy Shit" or the Genie stand saying "Hail 2 U". Many of these phrases are not even normal English saying like "Hail 2 U". Why is it that these English phrases are included, and why are they often strange to a native English speaker?


texts:
At the beginning of episode 3, as Mikatan brings a Christmas tree into Ito's room, this conversation happens:

Ito: Wh-What is that?
Mikatan: Isn't it obvious? It's Yakushimaru Ritsuko. Oh, I mean, a Christmas tree.

Who is Yakushimaru Ritsuko supposed to be a reference to? Does the real person has anything to do with the context here?


texts: What is this manga about a boy with special eyes recruited by 3 girls to hunt murderers?

texts:
Waking up in the hospital after an accident, the boy finds that his eyes become able to see certain people's shadows. Later, it is revealed that those people are murderers, and he gets scouted and recruited by a team of 3 girls to hunt those murderers.

Some examples of murderers:

A woman with a giant eyeball shadow replacing her face. She takes eyeballs off her victims.
A man with a scythe-shaped shadow replacing his head. He was shown eating ramen next to his victims' corpses.

The manga doesn't have an anime, I believe, since it is quite recent. I am quite certain that it was released after 2013. Not a lot of chapters are out. The premise does sound quite a lot like Shinrei Tantei Yakumo or Tsukihime.


texts: What's the meaning behind all the chairs in Madoka's room?

texts:
In Episode 9 of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, during Madoka's conversation with Kyuubei, we see that she has a ton of chairs in her room:

At first I thought this was just the usual Shaft weirdness. But I stumbled on a blog post that attempted to explain all the symbolism behind the imagery in this scene. According to the author of the blog, the empty chairs represent fallen Magical Girls. While the author's interpretation is plausible, I also found it somewhat tenuous—the only evidence the author gives is the scene in Mami's apartment earlier on, when Madoka sees Mami's furniture and bursts into tears. I don't have a very clear memory of the scene, but I don't remember it focusing specifically on the furniture—it could just as well have been the empty apartment.

Is there any other evidence in the show that supports this blogger's reading? And is there evidence that supports another meaning for the scores of empty chairs in Madoka's room?


texts:
Supposedly the Ackerman were a clan, so at some point there must have been many of them, and we knew Kenny who died during the series. But what about other members?

texts: What is the name of the audio that plays when the gray king appears in K-Project?

texts:
I've done a bit of digging but I can't find the track anywhere. It's in episode 7 of return of the kings (the second season). I'd like the title of the track and if possible a link to download it. I really enjoy it's melody and would like to listen to it more often.

Does anyone know who made it or where I can find it?


texts: After the Great Ninja War, Naruto's right arm was replaced by an artificial arm made up of Hashirama Senju's cells. To perform Wood Style, user requires a vast amount of chakra and Naruto can easily manage that.


texts: Can female Claymores give birth to babies for their husbands?

texts:
I have just finished the Claymore manga. Clare and Raki stay together at the ending of the story. I am sure they are going to get married.

I have a question about the two of them. We know that female Claymores are half-human and half-Yoma hybrid warriors, but in the manga, they never tell us whether female Claymores are able to give birth to babies.

Would Clare be able to get pregnant for Raki?


texts: How come we never saw Dragons leaving the body of the Dragon Slayers in Fairy Tail (2014)?

texts:
We don't see the Dragons leaving the body of the Dragon Slayers except in Natsu's case, even though Igneel mentioned it in Episode 89. Why is that? Did they forget to animate it?

[Edit- Note :If they have not mentioned it in manga then wouldn't that will be a plot hole because everybody will be aware of the dragons leaving the dragon slayers body and no one would have been surprised to see the face getting destroyed at that time. Also fighting Achnologia would have been much easier.]


texts: Is turning into stone as a result of waiting for someone for a long time derived from Japanese legend?

texts:
This concept is used in Windaria and an early episode of Pokémon (Episode 20: "The Ghost of Maiden's Peak").

Did it come from a Japanese legend I'm not familiar with, did it come from the Windaria novel, or is it just a Kunihiko Yuyama thing?


texts: Can anybody please provide me with a list of the characters and their corresponding handles from Durarara!! & Durarara!! ×2?

texts:
I was wondering if anybody has a list of the characters spanning both the anime version of "Durarara!!" and the anime version of "Durarara!! ×2", along with each character's corresponding online handle (for the chatroom, AND for the Dollars website for the characters it applies to) ? If a character from the anime doesn't have an online handle, then please include them in the list without a handle by their real name. A nicely organized list format would be most appreciated, if it's not too much trouble.  It would also be greatly appreciated if you were to state the colour of each character's handle next to it as well (I have difficulty reading kanji, so it's easy for me to lose track of who's who when they don't say each other's handle), please and thank you. Lastly, if you could please also state the character's colour gang affiliation (as well as if they were possessed by Saika) beside their name where applicable (except for any who are in the dollars, as that will already be taken care of in the above-mentioned Dollars site handle part of the list)? It'll really help me to be able to keep up with everything that goes on in the anime.

Here's an example of the sort of thing I'm looking for:
Mikado Ryuugamine - Chatroom Handle: TarouTanaka (田中太郎, Blue) - Dollars Handle: _______ (______, _____)

Masaomi Kida (Yellow Scarves) - Bacura (バキュラ, _____)


texts: How did Yagura Karatachi / Fourth Mizukage survive Itachi's Amaterasu?

texts:
the attack in question is near 2:40 here https://youtu.be/-J7V4YykpY4?t=160 (episode 456?)
how did he survive that attack? Shouldn't Amaterasu have burned his body down to ash?


texts: How is Akai Ito the sister game to Aoishiro?

texts:
According to VNDB (for both Aoishiro and Akai Ito) and the Manga Updates page for Aoishiro - Kaeishou, Akai Ito is the sister game to Aoishiro.

From what I can tell, they are both Shoujo Ai/Yuri titles, both done by Success and both seem to focus on Oni. However I can't see how those elements would make Aoishiro and Akai Ito sister games.

So I am wondering, is there some sort of connection between the 2?


texts: What's the meaning behind ZQN designation for the zombies in I Am A Hero?

texts:
In the series I Am a Hero by Hanazawa Kengo, the designation for zombies was previously translated as "zombfags," presumably as an adaptation of the word for "normalfag," which if I'm not mistaken is 「リア[充]{じゅう}」.

However, the designation is currently translated (though it may have also remained unchanged from the original) as "ZQN," with no explanation given for the sudden change (I'm fairly certain I've come across an amalgamation of the work from at least two different translation groups).

My question is, does  the designation "ZQN" have roots in Japanese internet slang words, à la 「リア[充]{じゅう}」, or did earlier translations just take artistic liberty given the context?


texts: From Shinigami's perspective, why would they take that deal? As we know they can write a human's name in the notebook and they'll get the remaining lifespan of that human added to theirs. So why would they bother giving away the eyes?


texts: Who is this ghost from episode 8 of Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou?

texts:
Episode 8 of Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou features this ghostly character, who is not addressed by name during the episode:

Who is this supposed to be?

From reading the cast credits, I see that this person's name is probably フリーダ ("Frieda"?). Should I know who that is from having watched the anime (not Chuugakkou; the main one, which culminates with the female titan arc)? If not, please please please use spoiler tags - I've been religiously avoiding spoilers for the show for three years now in anticipation of season two, and would rather not break my streak.


texts: How do UQ Holder! and Mahou Sensei Negima! relate?

texts:
I've been reading UQ Holder! since it started coming out. So far (14 chapters into the series) I've understood everything, and (I think) I have not missed any reference or anything similar.

However, just today I realised that MAL lists UQ Holder! as Mahou Sensei Negima!'s sequel.
How exactly are the two related, and how much do I miss if I haven't read the latter?
Or is it just meant to be a spiritual sequel, and nothing in the story is related?


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

texts:
The anime story finished back in October. A few filler then followed the new sunrise arc in Sasuke's story, which started where Sasuke goes on his own adventure.

My question is, should I watch the last movie first or does Sasuke's story arc come first?


texts: What does Accelerator say to Dark Matter at the end of their fight?

texts:
After Dark Matter's defeat, he stabs Yomikawa to further hurt Accelerator, which causes Accelerator to sprout his black wings and then tell him something in angel language.

The English translation says:

  “—yjrpEVILqw”

What does he say in Japanese though? I tried finding the raw but couldn't, and my Japanese-fu isn't that good. Anyone familiar enough knows what he says there?


texts: What was the name again of Kageyama's Senpai?

texts: I totally forgot the name of Aoba josai's Captain and also the senpai of Kageyama when he was in middle school.


texts: Why didn't the other Captains see the potential in Asta during the admission exams?

texts: Asta's magic was unique. There was no one else who could cancel out another person's magic, so why didn't the other captains see the possibilities of that strong power?


texts: Why do people keep comparing Shinji to Yesod?

texts:
Several analyses of Shinji Ikari's character compare him to Yesod.

Now Wikipedia has this on Yesod:

  Yesod (Hebrew: יסוד "foundation") is a sephirah in the kabbalistic Tree of Life. Yesod is the sephirah below Hod and Netzach, and above Malkuth (the kingdom). It can be seen as the vehicle, from one thing or condition to another (the power of connection).

I read some more on that, and I really didn't get it.

What is this connection / what traits does Shinji have in common with this sephirah? What symbolism does the MC of Eva have, in this context? Is it intended by the canon, or is it just an interpretation of the material?


texts: When can I start reading "Soul Eater Not!"?

texts:
Soul Eater Not! is a spinoff manga from the main series Soul Eater. It also has an anime adaption.

I've read a couple of volumes of Soul Eater, but when would be the earliest (plot-wise) that I should pick up this sub-series as I'm told many of the characters and plot points are shared?


texts: Why did Haru put her arm into Legoshi's mouth in episode 11?

texts:
In the episode 11 of Beastars, Haru (the rabbit girl) put her arm into Legoshi's (the wolf boy) mouth in the hotel when they were going to have [...] and the explanation was that it was her instinct as a herbivore to do so. But as far as goes my knowledge, animals mostly tend to flee when they are in danger or any other unconfortable situation and do not try to be eaten.

Was that explanation right or maybe it is a mistranslation of the fansub? It's the same in the manga? If yes, is that behavior right according to the reallity or did the author make up that? And why?


texts: Are there any significant differences between Boruto the movie and the corresponding arc in the anime?

texts:
The recent arc of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations seems to completely cover the plot of that movie.
Are there any differences (in terms of the story, animation, fight sequences, and drawing style) between that arc in the movie and the one in the series?


texts: Koga's wolves - demons or just regular wolves?

texts: In the episode when Koga first appears, his wolves attack a human village and kill Rin. Were those regular wolves or full demons like Ginta and Hakkaku, and simply preferred their wolf form?

I have seen Dragon Ball Z: Revival of F many times and I love the music that plays when Frieza powers up from base form to his "Final" form in the dub.

If anyone could point me to the song used it would be greatly appreciated!


texts: Was Pokemon initially manga and then tv producers changed the story they wanted it or was it a product of imagination of tv producers?


texts:
This might just be a general Japanese-Language question, but I noticed, that Iida calls Ochaco with the honorific "kun", instead of "chan", or "san" for example.

Why is that and what does it say about Iidas character?

texts: What is the name of the character who always smiles but could not express any other emotion in the anime "monster"?

texts:
In the anime Monster, there is a character who always smiles, but could not express any other emotion.

He watched a super hero cartoon, which influenced him as a child and made him a saviour. He kills people when he thinks he can save people but always blacks out and it is always bloody as hell.

May I ask what is his name?


texts:
We know that both men (e.g. Mendoza) and women (e.g. Ema) can be Makai Priests. And, of course, men can be Makai Knights (Leon, Alfonso, Germán, ...).

But can women be Makai Knights? In episode 24 of Garo: Honoo no Kokuin,

   Jiruba says that Germán's child with Ximena is going to inherit Zoro. This prompts Leon to ask Jiruba if that means that the child is a boy.

This seems to suggest that women cannot be Makai Knights. Is this in fact the case? Supporting information from the tokusatsu series would be very welcome here.


texts: What is the relationship between Clow Reed and Ichihara Yuko?

texts:
According here,

  Clow had accidentally wished for Yuko to live, thus severing her time
  from all dimensions. Clow regretted this wish, and no longer wanted
  the title of "world's most powerful magician".

Though it was said on the same link that their relationship is unclear and that Clow Reed had a former lover named Madoushi (appeared in Cardcaptor Sakura Movie 1), I would still like to ask (because someone here might know) how Clow Reed and Yuko is related. Clow Reed wouldn't have wished for Yuko to still live if there was nothing deep in their relationship. So are there any formal statements from CLAMP about their real relationship and the story behind Clow Reed wishing for Yuko to live?


texts: What is the difference between "arc", "hen" and "season" when categorizing anime series sub-stories?

texts:
I always see that different stories in the same anime series are usually called with either "hen", "arc" or "season" as seen in the examples below.

Hen (編)
JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken - Stardust Crusaders - Egypt Hen
Alps no Shoujo Heidi: Alm no Yama Hen
Hokuto no Ken: Raoh Gaiden Gekitou-hen / Hokuto no Ken: Raoh Gaiden Junai-hen
Arata naru Sekai: Kako-hen / Arata naru Sekai: Gendai-hen / Arata naru Sekai: Mirai-hen
Arc
One Piece: Arlong Park Arc / One Piece: Sabaody Island Arc
Bleach: Arrancar, The Arrival Arc / Bleach: Arrancar, The Hueco Mundo Sneak Entry Arc
Naruto: Chuunin Exam Arc / Naruto: Pain's Assault Arc
Season
Aldnoah.Zero 2nd Season
Girls Bravo: First Season
Moonlight Mile 1st Season: Lift Off

I observed these differences:
Hen: Always added at the end of the title. Sometimes it is made suffix with a hyphen.
Arc: Used to logically divide long running series.
Season: Always used with a number starting from 1.

Why do they choose one over another? For example, why don't we say "Moonlight Mile: Lift Off Hen" or "Naruto: Chuunin Exam Season"? Is this only a matter of choice or do they differ in meaning?


texts: In the Second Battle for Tokyo, Suzaku fires a FLEIJA which destroys a vast amount of the settlement. Guilford pushes the Shinkiro out of the blast radius and is absorbed. How could he  have survived? My only thought is last minute ejection, but I would like a solid answer or other theories that seem plausible.


texts: Why could the Tendo control the weather?

texts: Does anyone know why the Tendo Path of Pain apparently had control over the weather at some point? After he detects Jiraiya the power isn't ever mentioned again. The two shinobi Jiraiya captures talk about the weather as if "Lord Pain" prevents it, but in the translation I read, Pain says "Someone has circumvented my rain," as if he causes it. Regardless of whether Pain controls the rain, is there a plausible explanation for how this could be?


texts: Is hunter x hunter anime stop in episode 148

texts: Does the anime for hunter x hunter stop in episode 148? I am asking this since there is a scene here on 3:53 https://youtu.be/DIQfFu7luHM and it didn't look like a 1999 anime in Hunter x hunter so I was curious


texts: Why did Lancer prepare his Noble Phantasm during his first fight with Archer?

texts:
In Ufotable's adaptation of Unlimited Blade Works, when Lancer fights Archer for the first time (episode 0), near the end of the battle Lancer begins charging his Gae Bolg, but is later distracted by Shirou.

Later, on episode 5 of the second season, when Lancer fights Archer again, Lancer mentions that he wasn't fighting with his full potential back then because he was under a Command Spell telling him to not kill.

If that is true, then why did Lancer even bother charge his Gae Bolg back then? I imagine that the point of his Noble Phantasm is to finish off his target.


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

texts:
In multiple episodes of Sabagebu!, Mokarin's mom handles her gun exceptionally well and she's sort of badass too (Episode 7).

But how come? Was she part of her own Survival Club? Or, has she had some professional experience with guns? Was this ever revealed in the anime or manga?

Note: spoiler is acceptable.


texts: How did Araragi hide yoto "Kokoro-Watari" inside his body?

texts:
In the Nekomonogatari-Black anime, yōtō "Kokoro-Watari" (妖刀「心渡」, sometimes translated as demon sword "Heartspan") is shown with different lengths, but it always appears to be bigger than Araragi. The size changing isn't very noticeable unless you are actively checking, so it could just be due to animator laziness, but the fact that it is longer than Araragi is seems deliberate as it is drawn that way consistently in every scene.

Here is one screenshot of the sword, compared to Araragi. Both red lines are the same length.

Even if he is leaning over in the picture, it's pretty clear that the sword is bigger than he is. It's also clear when he gets cut in half:

However, despite the fact that the sword is taller than he is, it fits into his body. It even fits in Shinobu's body, though of course that could just be one of her abilities. But to the best of my knowledge Araragi should not have any such ability. In addition, the sword is stuck in the ground after his legs disintegrate, which also should not be possible if it was inside of him.

This could very well just be SHAFT following their usual style with the Monogatari novel adaptations, where the visuals aren't meant to be taken literally. Or it could be an indication of another ability of the sword. Is there any evidence that yōtō "Kokoro-Watari" has some ability that would allow it to fit inside Araragi's body (e.g. changing size)?


texts: Why did Cartoon Network never air the last four episodes of Zoids: Chaotic Century?

texts:
This question is on the fence between here and Movies & TV Stack Exchange, but does anyone know why Cartoon Network never aired the final four episodes of Zoids: Chaotic Century?

I loved CC as a kid, and went to great lengths to watch every airing. I watched it when it was on in the afternoon, and I set my VHS to record it when it came on at 5am CST after [adult swim] ended for the night.

In all the times I watched it, I never saw The Ancient Memory, The Zoid Eve, The Moment of Annihilation, or Return to Another Tomorrow. I have my own theories, but I don't want to poison the well and am hoping there actually is an official reason out there.


texts: Did King kill any monster in the webcomic out of fear?

texts:
In One Punch Man manga #111 ,

A monster so tense for the fear of being killed by King, unintentionally destroyed his internal organs and died.

Did King kill any monster in the webcomic out of fear like he did in the manga?


texts: Why did King Bradley allow the Elric brothers, Hughes, and Armstrong to continue investigating the military?

texts:
In episode 10 of Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, during the events in the Research Lab 5, Edward Elric is severely hurt. Later in the hospital, he writes down everything he had come to know, and he discusses with Alphonse, Hughes, and Armstrong about what to do with the information to continue the investigation.

At this point, King Bradley arrives with lemon into the room. He finds out what they are doing but acts very calm and chilled out and allows them to continue investigation while being careful.

Why did he not get Hughes and Armstrong killed at that point? Or at least tell them to not investigate at all?


texts:
My question is about busoshoku haki or coat of arms as people like to call it. Until the last episode I thought haki was something that required intensive training to master. But in the last episode

For those who haven't watched spoilers:

  Sabo was shown wielding busoshoku against a small army at 17.

Now I only started reading the manga in the zou arc so I'm not sure if this is filler or cannon but is it safe to assume then that some people just have an aptitude for mastering buso quickly? I mean only a small percentage of people are capable of using haoshoku so it seems like it makes sense.

But it took Luffy two years to perfect it and I'm not even sure if Ace ever learned it. Does anyone have any feedback on this?

texts:
In episode 5, immediately after Eren misses his shot to the Colossal Titan and it reverts to human form, I looked from multiple angles but there were no humans.

However, given what we know later, one would expect to see

   Bertolt Hoover

but they are not visible in the scene. How were they able to escape in the time before Eren attached to the wall and looked down?

If a dragon lacrima of an element of different type is implanted what will happen?  Will they gain two types of dragon slayer magic?
( For example if Sting is implanted with a fire element type dragon lacrima will he gain two types of dragon slayer magic? i.e. holy light type magic taught by Vicelogia and fire type magic gained from the lacrima)

Is there a reason she got this fat? Is this some kind of a joke made by Masashi Kishimoto?


texts: What is the song playing in My Hero Academia season 4 episode 12?

texts: Can someone please help me find the song used in the newest episode (12) of season 4. It starts at the 15:50 mark in, when Mirio and Deku finally realize what happened to Nighteye. I can't seem to find it on any of the soundtrack lists for the season. I love the music of it and would love to know what song it is.


texts: What are the real life counterparts of the anime studios mentioned in episode 12 of Shirobako?

In episode 12 of Shirobako, five major animation studios were listed:

  スタジオカナン (Studio Canaan)
  barmedéa
  武蔵野アニメーション (Musashino Animation)
  The born
  G.I.STAFF

I'm pretty sure "G.I.STAFF" is "J.C.STAFF".

What are the real-life counterparts of the other studios?


texts: What does Rumi say/sing at the end of the OP for Tonari no Seki-Kun?

texts:
At the end of the Opening for Tonari no Seki-Kun, Seki holds up a microphone to Rumi, at which point she says to the rhythm of the music something like "Yama tay!". No translation is presented. What did she say?

It is a cute OP.  During it, Seki is developing an animation that includes both Rumi and himself. (IMO this is essentially a very funny yet fitting meta commentary on the series.) You see him with what is probably a character summary of Rumi, and soon after he hands her a notebook.  It has a title in Japanese, but, again, it is not translated.

As she puts down the notebook, you see Seki-kun holding the microphone.

...

Yama Tay!


texts: Did Teiichi Niiya die at the end of the Dusk Maiden of Amnesia manga?

texts: I'm sure that he didn't die in the anime, but at the end of the manga, it is implied that Yuuko took him with her to the other realm. (Meaning that he died?)


texts: Are real-life products always connected to the show they have on their packaging?

texts: When I was in Japan, I remember seeing products such as razors with Neon Genesis Evangelion on the packaging, which I found a bit weird, considering that it isn't something that (I remember) showed up in the show. I was wondering: is all/a vast majority anime/real life product placement done as a mutual thing as described in this question, or are there other agreements that real life companies and anime companies have in terms of representation?


texts: is Tina Sprout an initiator and a mechanical soldier?

texts: In the subbed episodes of Black Bullet I'm watching, if rightly translated, they seem to say Tina Sprout is a mechanical soldier? is this so? Why an initiator who already has superhuman habilities (enhaced strenght, speed, recovery, etc.) would need mechanical parts?


texts:
In Dragon Ball Super there is a power scale for most of the super saiyans transformations, but some of them it's unclear where they fit. For example, this is the case of Super Saiyan Rage which is clear it's stronger than Super Saiyan 2 for example, and apparently stronger than Super Saiyan Blue considering how Trunks performed against Fused Zamasu versus how Goku and Vegeta in Super Saiyan Blue did, but from there on it doesnt seem to be data which states where it fits. Is there any info in any of all the Dragon Ball sources to know this?
Which transformation gives more power, Super Saiyan Rage or Super Saiyan Blue Evolution?


texts: Does the light novel tell of the passing of time during Itami's missions?

texts:
In the GATE anime (ep. 3-4), Itami goes to Coda village, then returns to Arnus Hill with the children and the left-behind refugees.

From the time he left to when he returns, the JSDF camp went from a tent park to a fortified pentagonal structure with buildings.

Now XXI century building tech can make a 57-floor-tall building in 19 days, but we are talking about reinforced military-grade structures with materials being shipped through a portal, so YMMV.

The anime never tells how many days Itami was away during his Coda Village reconaissance sortie.

Does the light novel tell of the passing of time during Itami's mission?


texts: Was the person hanging out with Eita at college, Nakajima?

texts:
During the first episode, we see Eita talking with Nakajima (supposedly his friend from the previous school) via a chatting application on his phone when he moves to Fukuoka and transfers to a new high school.

And, during the last episode, that is Episode#12 at the ending sequence we see Eita hanging around with a person talking about stuff.

My question is, were they the same person, as in Nakaji took admission in the same college as Eita. In the short lived conversation in the ending sequence there is no reference as to what his name might be.

My skepticism arises due to the fact that both in the avatar of the chat and the conversation during college, their eyes were kinda closed.


texts: Do people in soul society remember their life in the "living" world?

texts:
So we've seen that souls (ghost) in the living world retain their memories, even if they've turned into a hollow. However, do those memories get purged when they are sent to soul society?

The reason I ask is because I'm wondering what would happen when Ichigo died? Conjecture - he gets integrated right into a squad, new squad made with him as captain, etc, etc... Since he's basically qualified as a shinigami through trial by fire anyway.


texts: When in Edolas, the story reveals that there is an alternate version of every person there, with similar yet opposite characteristics. One of the main people I could never get a confirmation on being there was Makarov. At one point, a Edolas Fairy Tail guild member says that the Guildmaster is dead, but then later Natsu believes Makarov was the evil king in Edolas. Is it either of them, or is it something else?


texts: Is it common for a writer to write for more than one demographic?

texts:
CLAMP writes for more than one demographic of manga--Cardcaptor Sakura is shoujo while Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle is shounen and xxxHolic is seinen.

Masashi Kishimoto, the author of Naruto, however, has only written for Weekly Shōnen Jump, implying that he has only written shounen.

Is it common for writers/writing groups to do what CLAMP does and write for more than one demographic or is it more common for them to do what Masashi Kishimoto does?

(be careful, possible spoiler or not)

   We see Goku, Freezer, and Jiren are the only players left in the tournament of power.

Does this have any relevance for what's going to happen in Dragon Ball Super?


texts: Why didn't Jinbe and Ace wear prisoner uniforms?

texts:
Ivankof and the others also didn't wear a uniform, but they're part of some kind of underworld society, so they're basically running away; but Jinbe and Ace are prisoners, so why they didn't wear uniforms?

Jinbe

Ace


texts: (Gintama) Which historical period is the Amanto invasion a reference to?

texts: I've left uni ages ago and haven't had a History of Japan class since. The Amanto/aliens are clearly references to Americans, and more broadly, to the outside world/western world entering the tightly closed world that was Japan, but I can't pin point exactly which real life historical period the anti-foreigner war is supposed to reference: is it when Americans forced Japan out of the sakoku in the 1800s or after Americans installed a new government in Japan after WW2? I know that both events were resented by Japanese people, so the resentment alone present in Gintama makes it confusing.


texts: Captains' reiatsu levels after donating to Ichigo

texts: When the captains and vice captains gave their powers in Urahara's sword to restore Ichigo's powers, did they permanently lose part of their powers?


texts: Which Naruto episode shows a flashback of a kid stealing bread?

texts:
I am trying to remember a scene in Naruto where a "homeless kid" steals bread and gets beaten up and Orochimaru or someone comes and ask him to follow him.

Which episode is this from?


texts: Has there any official background story of Miku? Is she human or android?

texts:
There's a manga titled Hatsune Miku: Unofficial Hatsune Mix written and illustrated by the original artist. However, it is said that it is not official (I haven't read it).

Has there ever any official background story about Miku? It doesn't have to be like any kind of manga, just a background story of her or her personality. All I know (from wiki) is that Hatsune Miku is a 16-year-old girl (or android).

I know Miku is a vocaloid, means she's a software. But as a character is she human or not?


texts: In MHA: Two Heroes what song plays at 1:19:20?

texts: It plays right when All Might's Texas Smash is blocked, and when the final battle against Wolfram begins. It ends at 1:20:50 when Todoroki freezes Wolfram's attack. It's definitely not in the OST, I've searched everywhere.


texts: A manga about a skilled surgeon who operates on the president's heart and removes worm-like parasites in the first chapter

texts:
I am quite sure I read the localized version of the manga about 10 years ago, so the manga must have started serialization in Japan many years before that.

The manga started with the president being injected something into his hand, and fell into coma. All the doctors tried many types of drugs to no avail. The protagonist, who was a great doctor and surgeon, somehow came to operate on the president. It wa revealed that the president's pericardial cavity (the space between the double-walled sac containing the hear) was inhibited by a bunch of worm-like parasites, and he would die if the parasites were left to multiply, since it would obstruct the heart's beating. In the surgery, the protagonist had to stop the heart of the president and skillfully used a small clip to pick all the parasites, then restarted his heart. He also ordered to filter president's blood to remove all traces of the parasite in the blood stream.

Can anyone help me identify this manga?


texts: In the manga, how did Asako contact Ushio from within the sea serpent?

texts:
In episode 6 of the Ushio to Tora anime, Asako and a boy she meets at the beach (Tatsuya) find themselves swallowed by some sort of giant sea serpent monstrosity. In the anime, Asako calls her grandparents' beach house using her cell phone, and that's how Ushio learns that she's in trouble.

But the manga was written back in the early '90s, before cell phones were commonplace (the anime has been relieved of some of the trappings of the '90s [much as Parasyte was] in the interest of appealing to modern audiences). How did this scene play out there? How did Ushio find out what had happened to Asako and Tatsuya?


texts: Is Vivi's Peacock Slasher based on a real life weapon?

texts:
Princess Vivi is a former member of Baroque Works with the code name Miss Wednesday.
She fights using her weapons, the Peacock Slasher.

Her weapons can easily cut off human heads, as we can see when she cut off Crocodile's head (even though it's because he is a sandman).

I want to know whether the Peacock Slasher is based on a real life weapon or not.


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

texts:
In 2003, there was an anime called Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto. In 2008, there another anime called Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora.

I only saw the 2008 one, so I don't really know much about the 2003 one. They both seem to be about young girls who are learning magic, but is there any actual relation between the two series? For example, are there any subtle hints indicating that the 2008 series takes place X years after the original series? Or are there any characters that appear in both series? Or is the only relation that they have similar stories?

(I had to use the English title for the tags since the Japanese title is too long...)


texts: Was there ever a reason for why becoming a super saiyan became easy for the trunks and goten?

texts: Related to this, but I would like to know specifically for (young, not future) trunks and goten, how they managed to become super saiyans at such a young age - the others all went through a stressful emotional event that pushed them over the edge, yet while these two were growing up, I can't imagine them going through anything similar - there was no villain at the time.


texts: How could Kakashi make a Perfect Susanoo with only two MS when Sasuke needed a Rinnegan?

texts: When Sasuke first activated the Susanoo with 2 MS it didn't really resemble the Complete Susanoo. But when Obito gave Kakashi his eyes he activated Complete Susanoo. Why did it take so long for Sasuke to activate Complete Susanoo.


texts: Why do the characters in Akatsuki no Yona have Korean names?

texts:
When I watch the anime and hear the names of the characters (Soo-won, Son Hak), I thought that the manga is written by a Korean and published in Japan - like in the case of Freezing.

I couldn't have been more wrong to assume that. When I check Akatsuki no Yona on mangaupdates, it was written by Kusanagi Mizuho, whose profile suggests that he is a native Japanese.

Foreign names are common in Japanese manga. It's very common to introduce a foreigner (main character or not) to join the rest of the Japanese cast. Apart from those cases, we have stories where the setting is in a land foreign to Japan, or in an alternate universe where the names of the character are made foreign like in the case of Akatsuki no Yona. However, in most of the manga I have read that falls into this category, the names are dominantly Western and I have never seen any other shows with all the characters having Korean names.

Why does the author go to the trouble to use Korean names for the characters? Why not Japanese?


texts: How did Kid even know about the detectives gathering at the mansion in episode 219?

texts:
In episode 219 of Detective Conan, "The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid", Kid was there in the gathering.

I am curious as to how Kid even knew about the detectives gathering at the mansion.

Like, did he spy on people getting the letters, or did he spy Conan?


texts: Why did Mido rule out Masahiko Kida as the Yotsuba Kira purely based on him providing the account for funds used to commision Eraldo Coil?

texts:
I rewatched the yotsuba arc and never really understood the logic.
Kira would want L's name and face, so why would Masahiko Kida be proven to not be Kira if he set up the account of funds for Eraldo Coil with the purpose of finding out L's identity?


texts:
I really like the storyline, and I kinda miss it since the series hasn't released a new chapter in a long time.

Why is there no progress anymore on H.O.T.D?


texts: What reason was Madara talking about in Chapter 661 ?

texts: Madara says that there is a reason why Hashirama and Tobirama can't bring out their true strength, what was he talking about ?


texts: Why doesn't anyone use the substitution jutsu later in Naruto?

texts: At the start of the series, every spammed substitution jutsu every five minutes, then why later in the series no one uses it anymore. Same goes for the function of the sharingan, it was shown as something that could easily see through other jutsus  and then it's no more used for that purpose.


texts: What is a more accurate translation of the title of Legend of the Galactic Heroes?

texts: Several people have mentioned to me that the title of Legend of the Galactic Heroes is based on a rather "interesting" translation. What would be a more accurate translation of the original title (銀河英雄伝説 Ginga Eiyū Densetsu)? I've also heard that it is based on a German title, that was then translated to Japanese, and then to English - I don't know if that is true, though.


texts: What is song played when Ken is being tortured on seaons 1 episode 12?

texts:
The song starts at 12:34 and is kind of discordant in the beginning.
It hits the part of being a real piano at around 14:00.

I am looking specifically for the song that starts at 14:00


texts: What are the revolvers from Trigun called?

texts: Do the revolvers that Vash and Knives carry in Trigun have names? Is there anything they are called individually?


texts: Does the chunin exam ends with only one winner?

texts:
In the anime, they had a sheet where the participants' names were written for the finals of the chunin exam.

If Orochimaru along with the sand and Sound ninjas, had not attacked Konoha during the chunin finals, would the exam finish with one winner by having 2 semi finals and a final after the Gaara vs Sasuke match?


texts: Why does anime usually air at night in Japan?

texts:
Many anime available are broadcasted very late in Japan. Few examples:

Photokano, 1:58 AM
Hayate no Gotoku! Cuties, 1:35 AM
Chihayafuru 2, 1:53 AM

Why are anime often aired at night in Japan even though they get better timeslots when exported to other countries? When did TV stations start to broadcast anime late at night, and is there a specific reason behind this?


texts: Why are there so many "in Wonderland" episodes?

texts: Many series that I have seen have "x in Wonderland" episodes where they have retellings/variations of Alice in Wonderland with the characters from the show. Examples of this include Ouran High School Host Club (episode 13), Black Butler (season 2 OVA 1 and 4), Cardcaptor Sakura (episode 55), and Code Geass (OVA). What is the origin of this? Is there some sort of cultural basis for this?


texts: Has Miyazaki's Future Boy Conan ever been licensed for US release?

texts:
With the popularity of all things made by Miyazaki, has Future Boy Conan ever been licensed for US release?

I know it wasn't created by Studio Ghibli; are there some legal issues that might be preventing it from being released in the US?


texts:
Since Jiren and Frieza don't have godly ki, we are able to understand that you can attain the power of a god through regular training; that regular ki can go as high as divine ki.

Based on existing knowledge, how much roughly is Jiren's full power level? (the power he plans to use on Beyond Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta and 20+ Kaio-Ken Super Saiyan Blue Goku).

My guess is based on Super Gogeta's power level of 2,500,000,000 that Jiren's full power level is 189,000,000,000,000,000.


texts: Are we ever going to be introduced to Ryou's downstairs neighbor?

texts:
As of episode 8 of Koufuku Graffiti, there's been at least one shot per episode in which Ryou's downstairs neighbor is briefly shown (usually standing on her balcony folding clothes or something).

Is she ever going to be introduced as a character, or is she more just a running joke?


texts: When do the Kodomo no Jikan OVA side stories take place?

texts:
Kodomo no Jikan has a 3-episode OVA released from 2007 to 2011. The episodes are side-stories which are not directly related to the plot, but I think they are still based on the manga chapters. As such, they should fall somewhere in the story.

Relative to the anime, where do these 3 episodes fall?


texts: Which episodes of the Slam Dunk anime correspond to which manga chapters?

texts: I enjoy watching anime episodes based on the manga chapters I read. I couldn't find any source on exactly which Slam Dunk episodes are based on which chapters?


texts: Sage mode Hashirama's technique Shinsuusenju is called a senjutsu, or sage art. My question is does Hashirama actually create the titanic wooden budda statue with Moukton (wood style) or is it a creature he summons like Naruto's sumons Gamabunta? I always thought he created it, but I've seen many people refer to it as a summons. If any1 could clarify I'd appreciate it.


texts:
When Bell fought the monster on level 18, he was so much out of its league that I figured that he would gain at least two levels.
But no, he stayed level 2.

To level up in Is It Wrong to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon?, you have to be on an "adventure."
An adventure was never properly defined but it was presented as winning a tough situation that needed you to go 110%.
When Bell fought the minotaur, it was way stronger than him but he made it, so he leveled up.

Then, why didn't he level up after the fight on level 18?


texts: Can mystic Gohan hold his own against Goku Super Saiyan Blue?

texts:
In the week prior to episode 90th, where Gohan was going to have a training fight against Goku in Super Saiyan Blue, a japanese magazine gave an advancement saying this was going to happen and that mystic Gohan was going to be able to hold his own against Super Saiyan Blue Goku. But in episode 90th what we've seen..

   it's Gohan having an even match with Goku in base form. Later Gohan having an even match against Goku in SSJ2. Later a very brief fight between mystic Gohan vs Goku Super Saiyan Blue and finally Goku defeating Gohan using Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken.

Therefore, can it be said mystic Gohan can hold his own against Goku Super Saiyan Blue ? is he even or is he weaker?


texts: How do you read a manga when a big section is adjacent to several small ones?

texts:
Like this

Also, if this big section had small sections at both sides instead of one, how would you read it then? Or what if the big section was on the right side?


texts: What kind of institution is Gotei 13? Authority? Justice? Policy maker?

texts:
According to Wiki:

  According to Yhwach, the original Gotei 13 were "defenders" in name only, comprising nothing less than a brutal mob of killers, but it was for this very reason they were a force to be feared, especially because Yamamoto was a ruthlessly pragmatic leader whom would hold even his subordinates as expendable. It is noted the Gotei 13 underwent dramatic changes after the extermination of the Quincy, mellowing out in the ensuing peace, having now found a sense of justice upon discovering things to protect and treasure.

Does this  mean Gotei 13 is acting as private organisation in Soul Society or is it an authority or law maker than can judge souls. If Gotei 13 is govermental authority, How can they exterminate Quincy if they act on behalf of Soul King? I know Soul King doesn't directly control Soul Society. And I believe what Gotei 13 has done was unjust. Therefore, I conclude that Gotei 13 is not ultimate source of justice. Therefore,  every soul can do whatever it wants in Human World, Soul Society, or Hueco Mundo without disobeying anything since authoritive figure doesnt exist among souls.

I believe the only thing that makes Gotei 13 an authoritative institution is because they have group of Bankai users that are willing to punish other soul on behalf of Yamamoto.


texts: Why would Himura Kenshin turn back into Hitokiri Battousai?

texts:
In the early Meiji era, after participating in the Bakumatsu war as the assassin "Hitokiri Battousai", Himura Kenshin wanders the countryside of Japan offering protection and aid to those in need as atonement for the murders he once committed.

In the story Kenshin is said to revert to the murderer Hitokiri Battousai he once used to be. Why would killing revert his full personality back in to that of a murderer permanently?

NOTE:
He did sometimes temporarily revert to his murderous self but soon after gets pulled out of it by people such as Kamiya Kaoru.


texts: What makes Little Witch Academia a Netflix original series?

texts:
Every episode of Little Witch Academia begins with a card that says "A Netflix original series". I don't remember any such card on the two OVAs, and as far as I know the creative work was all done by the same people as the OVAs, Studio Trigger and its staff.

What exactly did Netflix do on the series to make it a "Netflix original"?


texts:
In the epilogue to Ping Pong, we see this newspaper headline.

  Five years after naturalization, finally a ticket to the Olympics for Tsujido Wenge

Now, I don't know Japanese, but I can kind of read this at the very beginning of the Japanese text:

  辻堂文革（中国名 孔文革）

This translates to

  Tsujido Wenge (Chinese name Kong Wenge)

This suggests that Kong Wenge is known as "Tsujido Wenge" in Japan. This is because it doesn't make sense for 中国名 to simply be referring to the Chinese characters (the kanji) for his actual name to me, given the "中国" (i.e. "China" or "Chinese" in the sense of nationality), but again, I don't know Japanese.

Is there any in-universe reason for this discrepancy? Perhaps since he wants to play for Japan, he's better off with a Japanese surname? I think the school Kong played for was Tsujido, and this also seems relevant.


texts: Which official Dragon Ball crossovers are there?

texts: Either in Anime or Manga, which Dragon Ball crossovers are there? I've seen this one which mixs Dragon Ball with One Piece with Toriko. Is there any other? Cameos don't count, such as Arale cameos in Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball cameos in Arale.


texts:
Last year I read a manga of which I remember quite some bits. It was an interesting one but I don't remember it's name or characters name please help me find it.. here's what i remember-

the main character is a teen boy in class probably high school
thinking about his life and his best friend/classmate greets him
everyday.

the main character develops self awareness & realizes a repetition in
everyone's life or everyone is maybe programmed. when he tries to question his classmates they get hostile towards him but maybe go normal after sometime like nothing happened. and his best friend too gains self awareness they realize they can't recall their past or when they spent time together etc.

their group gets a bit bigger and they find out there is a wall
around the city they even get attacked by a robot which main
character defeats..

I also recall scenes like them making a hole in the wall to pass
through and main character telling others that they never went out to
buy food or anything but still find their necessary items everyday so
something must be in charge of them.

also when they get out they walk a lot and find another city.
hope this much info is enough.. thank you in advance please if you know the name of this manga do tell.. :)


texts: What is the name of the violin song during the first and last episode?

texts:
just finished bursting into tears, along with finishing the anime.
There's this one song that destroys my heart every time it plays, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

It plays in the very first few seconds of the 1st episode.
And a few times with violin in the last episode.

First episode: 00:00- approx. 01:00


texts: Why is Galand's armor color different between the manga and anime version?

texts:
In "Nanatsu no Taizai" season 2, there is a character named Galand, one of ten people from a group called The Ten Commandments. In the manga, his armor is green.

But in the anime adaptation, it's changed to ruby red.

Is there a reason why they changed the color of his armor in the anime?


texts: What is the watching order for Tenchi Muyo?

I need to know the watching order. I've been wanting to watch all of them for awhile but not unless it is in order.

What is the intended watching order?


texts: What was the present that Shouko gave to Ishida? What did Shouko say after that?

texts:
What was the gift that Shouko gave to Ishida? Based on the manga, it’s for decorating plants, but what exactly is it called?

Could it be a marker for flowerbeds or something? Is it something entirely unknown except to the author?

N.B : Does anyone know what did shouko said in panel 2 ?


texts: In the first episode in Ouran High School Host Club, Haruhi is introduced with very drab clothing and hair. She had explained in another episode of how, and I quote: "A brat put gum in my hair and it was just being a bother, so I cut it off." Thus, explaining why she has short hair. But this doesn't explain why she dresses badly. I understand how she needs to cross-dress to pay back her debt, but did she actually cross-dress to begin with?


texts: Why did Akagi leave the opportunity to have a better hand in his first game?

texts:
I have watched just the anime, and even if he didn't know about specific hands, he leaves the chance to gather the bonus tiles and improve his hand, as Nangou remarked.

Am I missing something here? Being the genius that he is, should he not have played better?


texts:
Using Nagato's power, he can revive the dead. I saw him reviving Pain's member everytime someone die (except for the reviver member of course). He also revive a lot of people he killed in Konoha. But I don't understand why didn't he revive Yahiko then?
I was thinking he discovered the reviving jutsu after a while Yahiko died, and some soul cannot be revive after a long time of being dead. But that idea removed when I think about how Madara revive himself.


texts: In Blend S Episode 7, why were strawberries sold out in every market?

texts: This made Maika completely lose her temper, and she got completely out of control.  Why were they sold out?


texts:
We know of the several forms of Haki, the Kenbunshoku Haki, Busoshoku Haki and the Haoshoku Haki. I've been wondering, are those Haki visible to other characters in the One Piece universe, or only visible for the reader?

And I am mainly interested in the Busoshoku Haki, as this seems to harden the body and makes the skin look metal like. Can people in the One Piece universe also see this metal like change? Or is this just for the viewer to differentiate between normal fighting and Haki fighting?


texts: Why doesn't Rin save Saber in episode 24 of Unlimited Blade Works?

texts:
In the anime Unlimited Blade Works OVA, Rin rescues Saber before she disappears.
Why doesn't she do the same in the main anime (episode 24)? In that anime episode, she doesn't do or say anything to help Saber (whereas with Archer she begs him and cries when he doesn't accept). What can possibly make Rin change her mind in the OVA? (I haven't read the visual novel and don't intend to, so feel free to talk about it if it gives relevant info related to Rin.)

Also, does Rin try to save Archer in the OVA? (We don't see what happens but since she already saves Saber and she would consume most of her prana, asking Archer would be very selfish (poor Saber) so she shouldn't ask Archer. In that case, why would she abandon Archer (her real servant) and choose Saber?
(Again, if you know something relevant from the VN please tell me.)

Edit: Apparently Rin does ask Archer to stay in the OVA as well (VN source). Why would she do that when there's no mana for 2 servants? Is she just too greedy (to the point of being plain stupid and dying because of that) or does she intend to abandon Saber?


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

texts:
Super Saiyan Blue or Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan is said to be obtained by getting the god ki of a super saiyan god and then transforming into super saiyan.

The multiplier for a super saiyan is x50, if super saiyan blue is when you get the god ki of a super saiyan god and then transforming into super saiyan does this mean the power of a super saiyan blue is super saiyan god multiplied by 50?


texts: What's with all the weird writing/symbols in the hot springs in 3rei?

texts:
In episode 5 of Prisma Illya 3rei, we find that Gil has somehow pulled an entire hot springs out of the Gate of Babylon. The walls surrounding it have banners with a number of strange symbols and quintessentially-Japanese words on them.

You can see the symbols for yourself below; some of them are very strange, like the biohazard symbol (☣), the radiation symbol (☢), and a pair of clubs (♣) attached end-to-end. The words are "bonsai", "Mt. Fuji" (fuji-san), "sushi", "bushido", "matsuri", "kami", "sumo", "squid" (ika), "tenshukaku", and "heat haze" (kagerou), plus one on the far-right in picture #1 that is cut off.

I have to imagine there is some sort of joke here I'm not getting. What is it?

(The images are spoilered because naked-but-steam-concealed characters.)


texts: What did Kiritsugu do when he left Fuyuki?

texts:
During Shirou's recollection of Kiritsugu at the start of Fate/Stay Night (Visual Novel, after Rin's Prologue) Shirou says that Kiritsugu went overseas and sometimes didn't return for months.

What exactly was Kiritsugu doing? Did he resume the job he had before he fought in the 4th Holy Grail War?


texts: Does Light Novel-based, slice of life anime in general have a clearly defined setting?

texts: Something I noticed while watching a lot of popular anime based on Light Novels that focuses on slice of life for the most (Oregairu, Haruhi Suzumiya, Oreimo, etc.) is that they never stated where in Japan is the story actually taking place. In a lot of cases I noted that these settings tend to be a non-decrepit small to medium sized town with a school, and yet at other times, despite this ambiguity, the characters visit an identifiable real life locale, such as Oreimo with the Akihabara district, which seems to imply that the series happen around Tokyo. I can understand if the anime adaptation would not bother mentioning the setting, but is this ever touched upon in the original Light Novel source or has it always been sort of a case of the "Springfield" trope in play? Is it possible that there is some kind of general assumption by the Japanese populace that all series happen in Tokyo or something?


texts: Is there any explanation about Selim Bradley's true form?

texts:
After the defeat of Selim Bradley (aka Homunculus Pride), his true form is revealed to be a tiny baby in a fetal position.

This makes me wonder, is Selim Bradley's true form is actually an aborted fetus, found later by The Father and given new life as Homunculus Pride?

This will explain a lot about his psychology (ex: Unconditional obedience towards his Father).


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

texts:
In Fairy Tail, does it matter what type of magic two wizards use in order to perform a unison raid? Okay, I understand the Gray and Juvia have done unison raids before, but both of their magics have the same concept just in different forms. But let's say someone like Natsu, or anyone with a type of Lost Magic (dragon slayers) were to perform a unison raid with Mirajane, for example.

Specifically, my friend is writing a fanfiction on Fairy Tail, where the main character is a dragon slayer, and she also has another certain magic that was passed down from her mother, a type of lost magic (a musical magic, where if the character sings or plays any instrument, the sound waves attack the opponent, and because of the whole thing with the

  Dragon Slayers with their dragons being inside of them, and making
  antibodies so they wouldn't turn into dragons, (somehow) turned into
  her forms that she can use for this lost magic, that's are crazy
  powerful.

My friend isn't really sure if she can perform a unison raid with Mirajane, because they both sing, because Mira doesn't have this lost magic. So is this possible?

(Sorry if it's really long)


texts: Why did Macao ask Fairy Tail not to touch Twilight Ogre when they came to take the money?

texts:
In episode 123 of Fairy Tail, the Twilight Ogre guild came to take their money from Fairy Tail. After one of their guys sent Macao flying, he asked Fairy Tail not to touch them.

I found that pretty ridiculous. I mean, for what reason would they prevent them from fighting.

Why did he prevent it? Doesn't this make their guild look even more pathetic?


texts: Did the League of Villains kill Kai Chisaki?

texts:
Spoilers (for those who haven't read the manga or reached chapter 160) :

   After being defeated by Eri and Midoriya, Chisaki was under police custody. As the police were transporting him to jail, the League of Villains attacked the police cars. The last time we saw Chisaki was when he was still tied up surrounded by the wreckage. During the last time we see him, the League of Villains were taunting him about his failures and even cut his arms off. They also take his quirk drug which he (Chisaki) basically devoted most of his life to making.

 After that, we see an explosion, but we don't know if they exploded Chisaki or trapped him in a tiny orb by using Atsuhiro Sako's power to keep him because I noticed earlier Atsuhiro was holding an orb above Chisaki (but after that Chisaki wasn't inside the orb, the League was still talking to him). His current state is unknown and I was wondering if anyone knew the author ever said something about his current state or if I missed something while reading the manga.


texts: Why does Nagato have Rinnegan when he was awakened using the reanimation jutsu?

texts:
Because it was not achieved through his own blood, and was implanted by Madara, he did not have the Rinnegan when he was born.

The shinobi who are revived using Edo Tensei usually are resurrected with characteristics they have from birth.

Since he wasn't born with the Rinnegan and not really the original owner, why did he have it while he was revived using the Edo Tensei?

texts: What Did Basara Do to Mio to relieve the curse?

texts:
In the anime Mio falls under an aphrodisiac curse by Maria using the "Reversed" Master-Servant Pact which is triggered by the servant's Distrust to his/her Master

On Episode Five of the anime,

  Following Yahiro's defeat, Basara wakes up with Maria lying on top of him while seducing him, encountering Mio naked in the bathroom while getting caught in an awkward position, Yuki offering herself to bathe with Basara, and Mio yet again falling into a pleasure-driven curse.

After the scene Basara lift Mio and said going to her room. The scene then is cut (eventhough its uncersored version) the nezxt thing they are eating at a restaurant. so what happened in between these scenes.


texts: Why do drama CDs and anime series of the same franchise use different voice actors sometimes?

texts:
In the Lucky Star anime, there is a scene where one character mentions something about drama CDs and anime adaptations of the same work having different voice actors. Ironically enough (and probably intended), Lucky Star is one of these franchises.

Character: Drama CD / Anime
Konata: Hirohashi Ryou / Hirano Aya
Kagami: Koshimizu Ami / Katou Emiri
Tsukasa: Nakahara Mai / Fukuhara Kaori
Miyuki: Nakayama Erina / Endou Aya

I can take some guesses at why this happens, but I've never properly researched it and therefore don't know the actual reason(s) why.

I saw an episode of Pokemon. In this episode, the two Pokemon girls Dawn and Ursula were talking to each other. They both are rival of each other, Ursula taunts Dawn in that episode; they both have taken part in a Pokemon contest. Since I am not a native speaker I could not understand what they actually spoke. The conversation was much like this -:

Ursula: Maye! Maye! But you know it isn't sweet as little Dawn.

Dawn: Ursula.

Ursula: I have a less than pleasure of seeing your performance yesterday; as usual share dumb luck of yours gone passed. However, I do hope you make it to the final round that way when I beat you, you will make me all that much better.

I don't make sure if these were the actual lines spoken by Ursula.

Can you tell me what Ursula actually said to Dawn? The link of the episode is given below and the dialogue took place between 4:34 to 4:50 seconds.

texts:
In Hunter × Hunter (2011), Komugi and Meruem play a game called Gungi. It's a fictional game which appears to take conceptual origins from chess, Go, and other strategic board games.

We see tidbits of it played here and there, but I'm left to wonder: How is it played? What are the rules?


texts: What is the key for, Doflamingo is holding in chapter 752?

texts:
As far as I recall, the only locks mentioned during the Dressrosa Arc are:

The lock to the SMILE factory
The lock of Law's handcuffs

Though, in chapter 747 Doflamingo destroys the key to the factory.

And in chapter 750, we can see Viola holding the key to Law's handcuffs.

So what is the key, Doflamingo is holding in chapter 752, for?


texts:
Just wonder from beginning, Ururu and Jinta are looks like a child. But as we know they're also have some super strength as a human and a child.

So, how old exactly they're before and after time skip? Are their age ever mentioned in anime or manga?


texts: What did Archer learn first, The Sword or Archery?

texts:
The Archer from the Fate:SN series is both a great archer and a great sword/knife user. Since he's Archer, you would think that he was an archer first.
However, I have been told that apparently,

  Archer is the future Shiro.

Since this character learnt swords first why was he the archer and not an Assasin, a Sabre or something else. What did the Archer learn first, the Sword or the bow?
