At the end of Occultic;Nine, Yuta Gamon fires the unlocked Poya-Gun (revealed to be the Wardenclyffe Gun) at the Odd Eye in order to stop the New World Order from completing their mission.

It's presumed that he never makes it back to the human world (AKA is resurrected like the rest of the main cast), but what exactly happened to him?

I'm especially confused about the significance of the Sky Sensor playing staticky sounds in his father's old recording studio at the very end. Did Yuta return to the wavelength meant for the dead and in turn, get reunited with his father (again) or did he get stuck in the wavelength that the New World Order shifted to in an attempt to prevent Yuta from stopping them?


texts: What is the song that plays when the results of the failed transmutation are dug up?

texts:
Does anyone know what's the name of the song that plays in FMA Brotherhood when Ed and Pinako dig up the corpse of the failed transmutation during rain?

Here you can hear the song more clearly from the minute 9:25 to 10:03.

I can't find it on Shazam or on Youtube :(


texts: In the visual novel of Clannad, how many after stories are there?

texts:
I've just finished reading Clannad.
While I was browsing for another visual novel to read, I saw the Tomoyo After (after story of Tomoyo's route) visual novel.

Now I'm wondering whether maybe the other heroines also have an after story but they have different titles.


texts: Why couldn't Mitsuha and Taki remember each other's names?

texts:
In the second half of Your Name (after the body switching stops happening), Mitsuha and Taki can't remember each other's names. They can even end up forgetting the names within 10 seconds of seeing each other. Why does this happen? One theory I have is:

   Before Taki intervenes, Mitsuha would have died when the comet hit. Taki couldn't remember her name because her future was hanging in the balance.

But this answer doesn't entirely work. For one,

   He still fails to remember her name after they rescue Itomori, and Mitsuha is no longer at risk of dying

And second off

   Taki was never in risk of dying in the comet, but Mitsuha still can't remember his name either.

So why did this happen? I know this is somewhat the main theme of the whole movie, but it never made sense to me how they could forget so quickly. It's almost like something was actively causing them to forget.

Her right eye is red and her left eye is blue.

But in episode 5 of the first season, both her eyes are blue.

What gives?
Is she wearing contacts? I wasn't able to find an explanation for this from the Anime.

texts: Is this a COVID-19 reference in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War season 2?

texts:
In season 2 episode 6 of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, Miko Iino (a candidate for student council president election) says that her mother is busy distributing vaccines to a hotspot.

Does "hotspot" refers to the "heavily COVID-19 affected area"? Also "vaccines" may refer to an anti-COVID vaccine and so this statement can be relevant to the ongoing COVID pandemic. So, is the story of this anime progressing in the pandemic?


texts:
In Disgaea 3 - Absence of Justice/Detention, during the story scene of Evil Academy Culture Fair Map 2, when Salvitore, Master Big Star and Mao were looking for the one who was trying to destroy the Culture Fair, they arrived at the Sophomore's "Super Elegant Cafe".

When Master Big Star tried to point out that his Sophomores couldn't be the culprits, Mao got suspicious and said:

  Not to mention, all the food as cursed writing, chanting "Moe Moe Kyun♥" to cast spells, and confusing all your customers!

Given Evil Academy, with how the Cafe looked and how Master Big Star was willing to force Mr. Champloo to make bad food to satisfy some customers (which was against Mr. Champloo's ideals as the Home Ec Teacher), it seemed to be an act of delinquency (in Evil Academy, Delinquents did good thing like volunteer work and going to class, while Honor Students did the opposite - skipping class, breaking rules, etc.). Since Mao was an Honor Student, I assume "cursed writing" and "chanting" are normal things we would expect in a cafe (as Mao was suspicious of the Cafe from the beginning before they said "Welcome back students who are coming in for the first time")

I can assume "cursed writing" would be like notes written on the food like you do with cupcakes. However, while I know what Moe is supposed to be, I don't understand what "Moe Moe Kyun♥" is. Does this have anything to do with maid cafes or Japanese culture in general?

In episode 10 of Miss Monochrome, about an android who wants to be an idol, Miss Monochrome decides to do a handshaking event like other idols are doing and it ends with a sequence starting with Silvester Stallone shaking her hand, which leads to an arm wrestling competition where she wins. In the audience was Mike Tyson, who sees her with approval, and it leads to a boxing match where she wins again.  In the audience was Hulk Hogan, who sees her with approval, and it leads to a wrestling match where she wins the belt. In the audience is this man, who also shows his approval, and it leads to a weightlifting competition, where she of course wins again.

Who is this man that leads to the weightlifting?

What's this supposed to mean?

texts: Is Kanji part of their writing system besides their unique alphabets?

texts:
In the anime and manga as well, there are kanji and HxH alphabets written down together. It has been used several times throughout the anime (assumed in the manga too). It makes sense that kanji appears in the series because the alphabets are substitutions for Japanese kana, the collective term for hiragana and katakana, which is a part of the Japanese writing system (Source).

But is kanji part of the their writing system besides their unique alphabets, or the purpose is to let the readers understand what it says?

This song appears regularily in the episodes, and it is not in the OST (or I didn't find it).


texts: A manga about the adventure of a pair of brother and sister in a game world

texts:
Around 1-3 years ago, I found an interesting manga in my local library, but I didn't bring my library card with me. The following week, I returned to borrow it to read, but of course it was gone :/

Things I remember is:

The manga was based in a game world or VR.
They were not trapped like SAO, rather it was a really good VR.
There was a boy and girl, and they were brother and sister.
The brother complained about his sister's lewd or ecchi outfit, and it was a running gag where he challenged people who hit on her.

The story content included:

Finding a phoenix down to save someone
A cute hippo-like pet, which could be grown into a mount. (One of the side/main characters had one of these, and he was kinda an arsehole)
There was a race and people was swimming in it

It has been translated into English, because it's in my local library and I live in the UK.

texts: How did the Hashirama and Madara statues at the Valley of the End come to be?

I am not sure if there is some canonical answer to this, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.


texts:
I know that Bentham sacrificed himself to save Luffy so that he can escape from Impel Down.
He disguised as Magellan to open the gates for Luffy, but later the real Magellan came and it seems like the two fight each other (not in screen).

My friends believed that he's dead at that fight. But when I read this, it is stated that he's currently become the new queen of Newkama Land.

  Bentham, alias Mr. 2 Bon Kurei, is a former officer agent of Baroque
  Works and an okama (a Japanese slang term for a transvestite). While
  he was once an enemy of Luffy's as a part of the Baroque Works, the
  two became quick friends, leading Bon Kurei to sacrifice himself for
  Luffy both at Alabasta and later at Impel Down.
  He is currently the new Queen of Newkama Land.

So I want to know, is Bentham or Bon Kurei dead or alive after Impel Down arc? If he alive, have he shown in comics ar anime after Impel Down arc?


texts: Read a manga half a year ago went to find it was about a martial artist?

texts:
I read a manga about half a year ago which is about a Royal Prince or something like that, but his Father gets killed when the throne got taken away from him.

So the Prince has to flee and gets trained by 2 old guys in a cave. He also gets two souls in his body. One soul is from a strong but bad martial artist and another soul from a buddha monk which resides in his body so that the evil soul can't take over his body.

Anyone got an ideas which manga I am looking for?

Would really appreciate any help :)


texts: In My Hero Academia, the Nomu are incredibly strong creatures that possess multiple quirks. Even a single one of them proves to be a big threat. Nomu or not, the brain of any creature is very weak and one could die if it doesn't have any kind of protection (usually skull). The Nomu seem to have brains without any kind of protection. They are clearly exposed and visible to everyone around. Considering the fact that the Nomu are strong creatures and the law doesn't restrict to kill them (since Endeavor killed many of them at the Hosu incident and also the high-end one), why don't pro heroes attack the Nomus' brains? (I know it looks gross and all the stuff, but that doesn't change the fact).

texts: Do the lyrics of Madoka Magica's two movie OPs foreshadow Rebellion's ending?

texts:
To understand the question I'm asking, you will probably do need to watch the three Madoka Magica movies. I'll still try to avoid spoilers.

In order to fully understand the ending of the movie or rather, what happens next, I went back to look at possible clues that foreshadowed Rebellion's ending. The lyrics of Luminous by Claris, the OP for the first two movies, strikes me in particular:

  My faith in saving you becoming clear
  I really hope in the beginning
  To bring your smile back
  Make it a true miracle

  The hope summoned pursued us and surpassed the world
  The feeling to never give up connected our hearts before we knew it
  Instead of crying, let's smile and head for tomorrow
  Even if the oath we decided hurts and falls
  To protect your heart
  I'll be by your side

Now one thing to note is that, if I remember correctly, the song was released before the movie, although not too far apart. So it might be coincidental. However, these parts of the lyrics is interesting to me that this is exactly what Homura is doing by

   taking Madoka's power to recreate the universe in order to protect her ("even if the oath we decided hurts and falls") and release her from her own perceived sufferings ("to bring your smile back").

And that she would do any lengths to protect Madoka because she still thinks she can save her("my faith in saving you..."). The second OP in the third movie has these lyrics:

  You touched my heart and it shined, turning so colorful
  So I'll Take Flight, Riding on Hope
  Your Wishes Are Gathered Beneath the Sky That stretches Infinitely
  and if I CAN go protect Them
  I'll Get over the Memories of That day
  WHEN I made a Promise with you and go from the Past Now
  to the tomorrow that no one knows about

To me, this just described exactly what happened in the ending. In that

   Everyone's memory is wiped out ("no one knows about"), Madoka's wishes to get rid of witches is also presumably granted as well, Homura turned back time for the n^100 times ("g o from the past now"), and Homura now becomes the "protector" instead of Madoka absorbing all the witches suffering ("if I can go protect them").

So does the two songs foreshadowed the ending? To me, I think that the song really did helped me to empathize with Homura despite what she did. There's more to the lyrics in my opinion, but I will keep it focused on just the ending.


texts: How did Heathcliff manipulate Kirito and Asuna back to the battlefield?

texts:
Did Heathcliff use Yui (which was possible because he was Kayaba after all) or did he rely entirely on asking them for help with the final boss raid?

In episode 1x11, Asuna and Kirito ask for a leave of absence from the Knights of the Blood Oath. Surprisingly Heathcliff agrees. He then says, "I'm positive you won't stay away from the battlefield for long." This clearly foreshadows he'll manipulate them into coming back.

How did he do so?


texts: "I'm going to mess with her." -- but what did she do?

texts:
Near the end of episode 1 of Tsukigakirei, beginning around @21:45, we see Akane and her sister in their room. Akane gets a text from Azumi as her sister is doing something with her own smartphone. Her sister gets up, sees the text and teases Akane, asking if that is her boyfriend. This slightly embarrasses Akane. When her sister leaves the room, Akane picks up her sister's smartphone.  She says to herself, "I'm going to mess with her." At that point she presses something multiple times.  The smartphone is on, but it appears no app is active. So what did Akane do?

BTW, I'm sure there was nothing malicious involved. It was just two sisters being playful.

I checked the next episode, but there is no clarification. Maybe I'm just clueless about Japanese smartphone usage. The common communication app they all use appears to be LINE.  It is a real app, very popular in Japan.  It combines texting, telephony, and instant messaging (over the Internet, not telephone lines). We didn't see if this is what her sister was using before she left, but that would be my best guess.  Yet how would one mess with it without it being open and active?


texts:
When Gendo tries to merge Adam's Embryo with Rei to start his version of Third Impact, Rei rejects Gendo stating that Shinji needs her from inside EVA Unit 01, and that she is not a puppet of Gendo's any longer. What happened after that is cryptic to me, I'm still trying to piece it together.

Now, Rei knew the reason for her creation, what she was supposed to bring about when all of the Angels were finally defeated, but she outright rejected Gendo, and instead tried to aid Shinji during Third Impact, ultimately denying and overruling her purpose in the grand scheme of things.

What was Rei's reason for abandoning Gendo and aiding Shinji, other than deciding not be a puppet any more? Did Rei abandon Gendo for Shinji, because of Yui's maternal instincts kicking in when Shinji called out for her, seeing that she is a clone of Yui?

texts: Did Minoru die because of the Death Notes' new rule or because Ryuk wrote his name in a Death Note?

texts:
There is a one-shot manga for Death Note that was published on Mangaplus, on February 3th, 2020 (you can read the manga officially here.

In the final scene of this one-shot manga, Minoru Tanaka, the new owner of Death Notes, was selling the Death Note through an auction online and it sold for 1 Quadrilion Yen. The person who bought it was the President of the US at that time. The money will be transferred to the account of every person in Japan that has an account registered with Yotsuba Bank of Japan, 1 billion Yen in each account.

When Minoru gave the Death Note back to Ryuk, Ryuk got yelled at by the King of Shinigami, who said it's forbidden to sell Death Notes to humans. So for the first time, the King of Shinigami added a new rule for Death Note usage:

  A Human who buys or sells the Death Note in the human world will die.
  The seller will die when they receive the money and the buyer will die
  when they receive the Death Note.

This canceled the transaction, but the money was already transferred to every person in Japan that had an account with Yotsuba Bank of Japan. But at the end, Minoru still died when he withdrew the money one month later after he gave up the Death Note's ownership because Ryuk wrote his name in the notebook below Light Yagami's name.

What makes me confused is does Minoru Tanaka die because he withdrew the money since the new rule said "...The seller will die when they receive the money..." or does Minoru Tanaka die because Ryuk wrote his name in his Death Note just like when Light Yagami died? If so, why does Ryuk have to wait for one month and start to write Minoru Tanaka’s name in the Death Note?


texts:
In one of the early chapters of Fullmetal Alchemist (chapter 8 I believe), when Edward and Alphonse go with Armstrong back to Resembool for repairs, we see Lust on the same train.

Here, her tattoo isn't covered up, unlike later in chapter 34 when she meets with Havoc on a date.

The second image is from the end of chapter 34. This is after Hawkeye runs into Barry the Chopper, and after Mustang has started his investigation into the higher ups (which is shown in the same chapter). Envy is also shown tracking down Mustang's activities in that chapter, but this is before Edward tells Breda about what he knows from Laboratory 5.

This seems to imply that she covers up her tattoo to look more "normal" in public, but if that's the case, why wouldn't she be covering up the tattoo earlier? Or is the assumption that she covers up in public not correct? (Thinking back on it, it alos might be relevant that the tattoo isn't that large - which isn't a detail I currently remember - and therefore suspicious-looking to someone who doesn't know).

EDIT: I don't think Mustang's team knows about the homunculi specifically at this point in this. Although they have detained Barry the Chopper and so know something is up with the philosopher's stones, I remember Alphonse mentioning the homunculi's existence right before the section where Lust is killed, and Mustang being shocked by the revelation (at least in Brotherhood, where he proceeded to lose control of his driving).


texts: Was Grimiore Heart aware that Zeref was still alive?

texts:
I was recently reading an article on Fairy Tail on the Tower of Heaven when I remembered some events that transpired during the Tenrou Tree Arc that was...

  It was revealed that Zeref was still alive

And the purpose for Grimiore Heart working on the Tower of Heaven was...

  To restore life to someone who is deceased at the cost of someone else's life or in this case to sacrifice Erzas life for Zerefs as what was revealed in the anime

Based on this information, does this mean that Grimiore Heart was unaware of that Zeref was still alive and if they were what would have been the most obvious motive for using the Tower of Heaven which on the Fairy Tail wikia is described as:

  The Tower of Heaven (楽園の塔 Rakuen no Tō), also known as the R-System, is a taboo Magic Item that can be used to restore life to a deceased person.

I would prefer an in cannon answer preferably from reliable sources. An answer would be appreciated. :)

texts: Manga involving indirect kiss through icecream

texts:
Long back I started reading a manga, where in the first chapter, a guy is showed to have a crush on a girl. Then the girl starts eating an ice-cream cone, but for some reason, the guy then gets to eat the same ice-cream. He then thinks that by eating the same ice-cream, he has shared an indirect kiss with the girl. (Maybe the guy ate the ice-cream first, I don't remember exactly.)

I don't know any more details because I never got back to reading it after finishing half of the first chapter. I want to resume it, and see if it is any good. Does anyone know what manga this is?


texts: What happens to the human inside the titan when the titan dies?

texts:
Just to be clear I'm NOT talking about those who where swallowed.

  We know that titans used to be humans and then somehow they transformed into titans.

When they kill a titan it completely Vaporizes and nothing is left.
So what happens to the human inside them?

  Could it be like when Eren was testing his limits and each time he fused more with the titan body? If so, why could Ymir live in titan form for over 60 years and still transform back into human?


texts:
I know that Maria and Mamoru

   escaped the village and erased their tracks, making it impossible for even their own friends to locate them. The Bakenezumi (I do not know the canon transliteration) even assisted their escape by preparing fake remains for the villagers to find, so as to convince them of Maria and Mamoru's death.

However, the Bakenezumi are later shown to have possession of

   their daughter.

How is this possible? Could it be that Maria and Mamoru

   were captured by Squealer and forced to have a child?

In fact, the ethics committee later commented that

   the remains they found matched entirely to the DNA records of the village. Does that mean that the remains really belonged to Maria and Mamoru, and they were killed after they were deemed to be of no use?

Does the novel explain this? I apologize if i jump to paranoid conclusions, but this possibility sounds too scary.


texts: What is the significane of 8 in Anime and Manga?

texts: I have recently noticed 8 is a pretty common number in the manga I have been reading. Like Samurai 8 and Kaiju NO.8 have the number in their title. There are also 8 gyms in pokemon. Like the number 8 seems very important. Is it related to how the number 4 in Japanese sounds like death?

texts: Where does the manga for Beyblade original series end in comparision to the anime?

texts:
I found on the web that there are some differences in the storyline of the manga and the anime (English) of Beyblade (original series). In my quest to know the differences I tried to find the manga online (legal), but I've yet to know for certain how many volumes/chapters (of the manga) are available for the original Beyblade series. Wikipedia shows that there are 14 issues available. But the description about Vol. 14 here is the source of confusion for me. It says:

  It's down to the final battle in the G.B.C.--the ultimate test to see which team will earn the title of Beyblade world champions! Tyson's grandfather and friends start celebrating victory before the final battle even takes place--but will the BBA Revolution actually win?

   I just completed the series and the aforesaid description fits into Episode 30 of the Season 3 G-Revolution where BBA team stands victorious in final round of Beyblade World Championship. Also, Season 3 ran for 52 episodes and the episodes after Episode 30 dealt with a challenge named BEGA.

This is exactly my confusion. If I consider the description then it means almost 40 p.c. of anime aren't present in the last issue, Vol. 14 of manga series, and this seems to be a major difference.

Now, it all comes down to the following points:

Am I missing something about manga of the said series?
Could it be that the said description is incomplete or wrong?
Where does the final issue of manga end?
Would manga be enough to reflect the complete storyline of anime? Meaning, does there exist mini-series too?
Optional: where can I buy/get the complete manga for the said series?


texts: What does Guts have in his left arm and when did he get it?

texts:
I've just watched the Berserk 1997 series. During the entire series, Guts has both arms,

   until the end where he cuts his left arm in order to try to rescue Casca.

At the beginning of the series, before his story starts to be told, he has an arm that seems to be made of iron or something. It appears to have some firing capabilities, which in this anime series is never explained, or how he got it. What does Guts have in his left arm exactly and when did he get it?


texts: What is a good way to protect manga from yellowing in an open bookself besides book covers/comic book bags?

texts:
Recently I've started to collect manga. I have twenty-four volumes now. I keep them in an open bookshelf facing a window along with some other books which unfortunately I don't have any place for where it isn't facing the window, so I can't really keep them out of the sunlight. My fear of my books yellowing has been growing especially since the manga pages are so thin. I don't really like the idea of having to put each volume in one of those plastic comic book covers, so I was thinking of maybe putting a strip of white sheet behind them to minimize the impact the light has on them? I also have other books on the shelf that wouldn't necessarily fit comic bags. Is that a good idea, or would it just absorb more heat and further damage the books? Also, if anyone has any other methods, please share them. I’m open to buying stuff if I need to. I only have 20 volumes so it doesn’t need to be something huge (for now :D) Otherwise, the dimensions I need to cover are roughly 1.5 by 7 feet. Thanks in advance.

Edit: Addressing the suggested answers to the duplicate question suggestion and why I think it should be reopened, that question was answered with the comic protector sleeve option which I stated I did not want to do. I was asking specifically about other methods and if the method of hanging a portion of a cut white sheet behind the shelf would work. I would also be open to putting something else behind the shelf. Hopefully this is able to be reopened now, I think its probably different enough from the duplicate now but I can edit it further if need be.

At the Grand Prix Final, which is in December, Morooka speaks to Yuri and notes that he has not yet graduated.
Afterwards, when Yuri returns home in March of the next year, his mother apologises for not attending his graduation ceremony.1 Mari also notes that Yuri has a college degree, even if it took him an extra year.

Yuri also points out that he has not been back to Hasetsu in five years, and that he spent a period in Detroit:

  I'm one of the dime-a-dozen top figure skaters certified by the JSF. I'm 23. My name makes me sound strong, but I finished last at my first Grand Prix Final. I still can't accept what happened! I even moved to a training facility in Detroit and worked hard to make the final.

Can we infer from this anything about where Yuri went to college? Perhaps he went to college in Detroit and graduated from a university there?

Crunchyroll subtitles write the date as "March, One Year Later." However, based on what Yuri said about crashing through the rest of his skating season, it must only be a couple months after the GPF, rather than more than a year. The original text — 翌年3月 — appears to corroborate this.


texts: Why did Orochimaru really want to destroy Konoha village in the Naruto series?

texts: I started reading naruto manga again. In chapter 620, Sasuke ask Orochimaru, "I know the reason you told me to destroy Leaf Village was a lie. What was the real reason". And then, it strikes me that they never disclosed the real reason in future chapters, so does anyone know why Orochimaru attack Leaf Village?


texts:
To awaken the Rinnegan, can you just get any Uchiha's and Senju's chakra, mix them together and get the Rinnegan? Or do you need Ashura's and Indra's in particular (i.e. their reincarnation's)?

Do you still need to go through some very sad or aggreviating situation to awaken it, or do you automatically get it the moment you mix the two chakras together?


texts:
In Ennies Lobby arc when Luffy and his crew members trying to save Robin, Luffy order Sogeking (Usopp) to burn World Government's flag.

How can Luffy know that Sogeking can make something like flamethrower to burn the flag? He only know that Usopp that can burn the flag.

In that time, if I'm not mistaken, Luffy doesn't know about Sogeking's power, he also seems never notice Sogeking is Usopp before and even after the arc.


texts: Why doesn't Naruto have/use his Six Paths power?

texts:
Sasuke still has his Six Paths power, the Rinnegan. I understand that the other Tailed Beasts are no longer in him... but in the 4th War, even when Madara pulled out the Nine Tails, Obito gave him the One Tail and the Eight Tails chakra; thus, he was able to use his Six Paths power since he already had chakra of all the other tailed beasts.

Why doesn't Naruto have his Six Paths power?


texts:
I just watched an anime where the phrase dog's circle was used in the English subtitles.  The sentence was, "We are the dog's circle."  Is that a well known Japanese expression?  The anime was episode 6 of Natsume Yujin-Cho 5, where it was used at time mark 20:10.  The episode just went up on Crunchyroll this week.

From context, I'm pretty sure it refers to them being a group of friends or allies around one they protect, but not literally surrounding him/her.  Checking on both Google and Bing, there appears to be no general English usage of this phrase.  Is my interpretation correct, and in Japanese would the phrase be instantly understood?


texts: What kind of eye does Kirara have in Boruto?

texts:
The abilities of other Fabrications are familiar to me like, the particle jutsu used by Ku and Kakō which is from Ōnoki, Sekiei which is the same with Deidara while Kokuyō is not a genjutsu user.

For Kirara, I can't remember any character/clan even from Naruto series that have the same ability. Is her eyes is also a dōjutsu kekkei genkai? What is the name of her eye ability?


texts: How does binding a soul to an armor suit allow the suit to move?

texts:
We know a couple of characters whose souls are bound to armor suits, e.g. Alphonse or Barry the Chopper. It was explicitly shown that the armor suits have nothing inside - which means they are just pieces of metal with an rune that binds the soul to the armor.

So how are they able to move at all, not to mention that they have significant physical strength and agility?


texts: Anime where the protagonist has a long lost friend who loves him

texts:
It's about a kid that looks and sounds around about 10 years old. He is special for some reason, and has to go through challenges or something. Also he has this long lost childhood friend that loves him. She is pale with white hair and wears like a white jump suit and like red mitts on her hands. She's super powerful and is always protecting him even when he doesn't realize it. The anime is also pretty bloody (so gore possibly). He is also shown never to believe in himself but people around him do.

Does anyone know the name of this anime?


texts: Why did Warren need to invent communication lacrimas?

texts: When members of fairy tail were traveling to defend magic council members they were communicating through lacrimas to the guild, and during the Phantom Lord arc Mira used a lacrima to contact Laxus, so why did they need to "invent" what were basically cell phones when they already had lacrimas to communicate over long distances.

texts: Why is the Uzumaki clan symbol more like a trademark in Konoha

texts:
Almost every Ninja's cloth (mostly Jounin and chunin gear) have the Uzumaki clan (red-swirly circlish spiral) on their backs and I've been wondering why for a while now.

The clan sybol can be seen on the shoulders and the back of the Jonin Flak jacket.

Since the Uchiha and Senjuu clan founded the hidden leaf, one would expect that at least one of those clans symbol would be the trademark of the hidden leaf or maybe even a combination of the 2 clans symbol.

But rather they chose a clan that is affiliated with the land of eddies to be their symbol? What was the reasoning behind this.

texts: Why are there only 2 (known) parallel universes in Dragon Ball Z?

texts:
In the Androids/Cell Saga, when Trunks traveled back in time, he changed history and created a parallel universe.

But Cell also traveled back in time, and apparently arrived before Trunks was and responsible for changes in history, too.

One would think that Trunks would arrive in a parallel universe without a future Cell (in essence, one that was exactly the same as his, up until the point where he arrived.)

Why did Trunks arrive in the same parallel universe as Cell?


texts: Is there an official statement about Detective Conan's ending?

I then did some searching around in the internet and when I search for "Thunder god Yu Yu Hakusho" I still get Yusuke's dad, so is Raizen the thunder god? then does that mean Yusuke and Jin are half brothers??? can anyone help me get clarity on this? thanks in advance!

texts: Todo and Solomon motives in Witch Hunter Robin

texts:
I just completed the show, and I loved it. There are only two questions in my head. And I think there are no definitive answers to them, they can be mere speculation, but still I would like to read those. I searched a lot but couldn't find answer anywhere so I came here.

First, why was Todo so hell bound interested in creating a witch that can restore witches race? He was human and as much as it is shown, he wasn't madly in love with Maria (she was just a test subject for him, said by Father Juliano).

Second, why was Solomon so afraid of witches? Because witches were more powerful? Fine but if they despised witches so much, then why were they having conflicts with Zaizen? Zaizen wanted to eradicate witches completely, and so did Solomon. Just their means were different. And even the means could be justified because they hated witches, so creating Orbo was legal from their point of view.

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

texts:
Raye Penber's fiancée who had come to give the tip about Kira (she deduced most of the Kira's tactics even before L!), and Light Yagami's encounter was missed by the receptionist/L at the police head quarters.

Both were seen discussing about telling her theory to Light's father in front of the two receptionist before she became missing. Most police head quarters have CCTV cameras attached, so it should have been used by the police to get a clue about her before she went missing the day she visited the police. If she was alive after that day, she would have tried to visit the police head quarters again.

As per receptionists/ CCTV cameras she was last seen with Light and Light offering her to give the tip, so he can on behalf of her tell it to his father, even offering his phone. At least the initial investigation should have started with interrogating Light about her. How was this scenario missed by L and his Team? Is this not a goof?


texts: Why was the bridge already down when the second train arrived?

texts:
In the first episode of the new anime "Koutetsujou-no-Kabaneri", the first train had to stop before they let it enter the station.
(which can be seen in the following picture)

Why was the bridge already down before the second train even arrived? This made it easy for the Kabane to invade the station.
(here you can see that the bridge was already down before the train even arrived)

Was this an error? Or is it a part of the plot, to let the Kabane enter the station?

texts: Is Mangirl based off a real story to some degree?

texts:
Mangirl is about a group of girls who start up their own manga magazine called Earth Star Entertainment.

While I was looking up some info about the show, I noticed that the original manga was serialized in "Earth Star Entertainment's Comic Earth Star magazine" (Source: Wikipedia). This seems to be a real company with a real website that even shares its logo with the fictional company's logo in the show.

Is any of Mangirl based on anything from the real life Earth Star Entertainment? For example, were the creators of the real life company all females or all amateurs, similar to the characters in the show?


texts: What's the OST from HxH in episode 148 at 0:31?

texts: What's the OST from Hunter x Hunter episode 148 at 0:31?


texts: How exactly is the Eye of the Moon Plan supposed to work?

texts:
First, I am wondering how exactly does this plan work in the Narutoverse?

When everyone is under the genjutsu, does that mean no one is actually living their own life? Or do people live their lives and the usage of the genjutsu just eliminates pain, suffering, and war?

Will the people starve to death under this technique? And if not, are they able to reproduce? And if they can do the above two, will this technique eventually cease when Madara/Obito die?

I'm just wondering if life can still continue under this technique? If so, does the technique ever stop?

Now on a more (deeper) philosophical level, how is this plan any different from Pain's total destruction plan? Both goals of the two plans are the same. They both want to end pain, suffering, and war.

Pain wanted to cause destruction to achieve his goal. Obito / Madara wants to put the whole world under a genjutsu to achieve their goal, and they are willing to cause total destruction in the process. Is there any real difference in outcomes?

The way I see it, pain is inevitable in human life. So then why bother with the Eye of the Moon plan if you can just kill the entire planet. I'm going to assume that if they have what it takes to execute this plan, they also have what it takes to just blow up the planet / eliminate all living beings.

This then leads me to believe that Madara and Obito just have psychological problems. Is this the reason why they are proceeding with this crazy plan?


texts: Why did the Mushishi anime air in a different order compared to the manga?

texts: According to Wikipedia, the order of the anime does not follow the same chronology as the manga. However, with the series being episodic (and relatively self contained), and each episode barely any passing reference to one another. Why did the production change up the order in the anime? Was there ever an officially stated reason?

Why is a neutral nation producing the Federation's main weapon and only trump card in the war?


texts: Has Sakura expressed signs of love towards Naruto?

texts:
Throughout Naruto and a lot of Naruto Shippuden you can clearly see that Naruto has a lot of affection towards Sakura. Various times he tries to ask her out and the like but it never goes very well for him. We do eventually learn later in "Naruto:the Last" that Naruto's feelings for Sakura were another way for him to compete with Sasuke, but his feelings cannot be simply denied.

My question is: has Sakura ever shown signs of love, not friendship, towards Naruto throughout the series? When?

texts: What were the other nine questions in the Chuunin exams?

texts:
I'm not exactly expecting to find a full list or anything, but I was wondering if the manga/anime gave any clues to what the questions might have been. Checking the manga, I found that the first question was a cryptogram and that the second question was about tactics.

However, I could not find any more information about the questions from the manga. Does the anime provide any more insight into what the first 9 questions might have been?


texts:
In the English release of Princess Kaguya, it's translated that she originally came from the moon. And it seems that way, as she looks up at the sky above a lot when the moon is out.

My question is though, is she actually from the moon - or is it something lost in translation, because during the ending scene:

   The buddha and other celestial beings come down to retrieve her.

I thought he was not from nor went to the moon, but an exceptional human being. This has me thinking that there is something out of place here.

Is 'moon' the correct translation? Is my understanding of the film off?


texts: How did emigrants survive outside in Ergo Proxy?

texts:
In episode 21, it was shown that Romdeau was in a state of disarray. Many opted to leave the city instead of staying inside. However, what I noticed is that emigrants seem to be able to leave their home cities without gas masks or any protective gear. The same applied to Vincent and emigrants from Mosk during one of his flashback, at least from what I can remember. They weren't inside a vehicle and they seem to have to walk to where they needed to go to.

Of course, it's possible that they were vaccinated before going outside, although it seems unlikely given the state of Romdeau during this time and that the city would try to keep them from going outside no matter what. Yet, Vincent was struck by disease after he went outside through the vent. Although he did survived, he either should have been immune from the conditions in the outside world, he actually wasn't exposed during his travel from Mosk to Romdeau, the vaccines keeping them healthy are temporary, or something else.

So how did emigrants survive outside without succumbing to disease? Have I missed anything?


texts: Did Goku and Vegeta use god ki when fighting Freezer in Fukkatsu no F?

texts: Because of the episode where Goku and Vegeta train in another dimension we know god ki can be transparent. And in the Fukkatsu no F movie / anime saga, Goku is able to fight Freezer 4th form in "base" form, and Vegeta is able to deflect a ki blast from golden Freezer also in "base" form. Were they using god ki in this base form (what would make them to have a strenght close to a super saiyan god) or were those form their regular base form?

texts: How was Nagato able to re-awaken and control the Rinnegan?

texts:
The Rinnegan originally belonged to the Sage of the Six Paths. He then divided his power between his two sons, which formed the Senju and the Uchiha. For any human being to be able to activate Rinnegan, they need both the Uchiha and Senju DNA. Uchiha Madara, in the last days of his life, was able to activate it, as he already had the Eternal Mangekyo and Hashirama's cells (Senju DNA), making him similar to the Sage.

But the question is: how was Nagato able to re-activate it? Yes, it was Madara who had implanted his Rinnegan in him at a young age, but then, even though the eyes were implanted, Nagato neither had the Uchiha DNA nor the Senju DNA to be able to re-activate the Rinnegan. How was he able to do it?

And as a continuation to it, let's assume he was able to re-activate the already awakened Rinnegan (Madara awakened it originally), how was he able to use it so well and control it without his body taking a toll? He belonged to the Uzumaki clan who may have been the distant relatives of Senju, but that doesn't justify how he was able to control it so well as he did not have any trait of the SO6P, unlike Madara who could now be compared to the Sage (with both DNAs and the Rinnegan).

An example to highlight this is of Kakashi. He got a Sharingan from Obito. But since Kakashi wasn't an Uchiha, his body would take a huge toll on him whenever he used it and had to cover his Sharingan when not using to save Chakra. Though later he trained and excelled at it, he still was a non-Uchiha and thus, his body used to take the toll, though, only after excessive usage. Similarly, since Nagato has no traits of the Sage, his body shouldn't have been able to take the toll of Rinnegan activated full and controlling his 6 Pain paths, and all.

Can somebody please give a detailed explanation of how Nagato was able to awaken and control the Rinnegan?


texts: Where does Sword Art Online Extra Edition fit in?

texts:
I was browsing Anime News Networking getting names of Anime for searching for OSTs (because sometimes they get labeled by their original japanese name) and there was this add about some Sword Art Online Extra Edition.

The site has a teaser and it says it's going to start streaming on the 31st so it makes me think it's not just a different type of Collections Edition (to which i have all 4 from RightStuf), just looking at the images and the teaser it seems to be set around the second arc but i'm not entirely sure.

So i'm wondering, Where does Sword Art Online Extra Edition fit in.

I'd love to watch this film again, this time with my wife.

Charlotte is a very interesting show featuring people with powerful abilities, but all of them have limitations. For example, the "time jump" ability makes the user's vision fade, and the "high speed" ability causes the user to move at an uncontrollable but very fast speed.
The "plunder" ability is introduced late in the game, and it

   allows the user to steal other ability-wielder's abilities.

However, as far as I can remember, there was never a limitation for this ability explicitly declared. Did I miss something? Are there no limitations?

texts: Where is the translation of "Dona Dona" from?

texts:
In episode 16, what appears to be a Japanese translation of "Dona Dona" plays twice -- once where Nanami has a dream where she, like the calf in the song, is sent away to her death, and once right after Utena removes the cowbell.

I know that there are translations of this song (which seems to originally have been in Yiddish) -- there's a recording of Joan Baez singing it in English on YouTube, and Wikipedia lists a bunch of other languages.

Given that I doubt Japan has a particularly large Jewish presence compared to the other countries indicated by the languages listed on Wikipedia, I'm wondering about the Japanese translation: who did the translation, and when did a translated version of the song first appear? Did a translation exist before Utena?


texts: Was Kazuki Takahashi involved in the modifications made in Yu-Gi-Oh! for reasons of censorship?

texts:
Checking some Youtube videos about censorship in Yu-Gi-Oh! (especcially this video), it seems that the motives for censorship are based mainly on:

Sexual content/innuendoes
Violence
Religion references
And others (offensive language, stereotypes, political matters, etc.)

There is a entire list of modified cards, but I'm looking for Kazuki Takahashi's words about this subject that covers censorship in his anime, manga and cards1.

1 The linked sources shows the reasons for censorship (i.e changes made in scenes and artwork card modifcations), but none of them mentions Kazuki Takahashi's opinion.

texts: An anime where the main character lives with a bunch of "outcasts" and has to take care of a girl without any social skills

texts:
I was watching it by the Japanese name and lost it.

The main character goes to a college that is divided between the art section and all the others. He lives on a house where the "outcasts" stay. I remember he was put there because he refused to leave some kittens he found on the street, but he couldn't stay on the main dorm if he kept them.

He lives with one guy that is that harem main character type who gets all the girls he wants all the time, one girl that is always teasing the main character although she's actually into this other guy that I mentioned. There's also a guy who never leaves his room and only communicates with the others by an avatar called Maid.

And there's also this female teacher whose niece (if I'm not mistaken, it's her relative of some sort) comes to this art college and stays on the house with them. She's slow as hell and doesn't really have any social skills (but it's not that she can't relate to other people). For example, when she wants to eat something from a store, she just gets it and eats it without paying for it because she just doesn't realize she can't do that). However, at the same time, she's a world famous painter and now she's trying to become a mangaka. Her name is Sora, and she resembles Sora from No Game No Life but older with the body closer to a woman than a little girl like this other Sora. And the main character is the one who takes care of her.

The main character also has this friend whose parents don't give her the proper support to pursue her dream of studying art, so she has to live by her own means. She works so hard and doesn't accept help from others so she passes out more than once. She eventually end up living in the house with them so that she could stop spending money on rent.

I guess that's all I remember. If I wasn't clear about something or if you want to ask some questions to help me remember, feel free to do it. Thanks in advance.


texts: Is Eren Jaeger considered a Rogue Titan or an Attack Titan?

texts:
I know that Grisha was the Attack Titan before Eren ate him so that makes Eren the Attack Titan now... right?

I'm just not sure what to call his titan form. I know in the beginning they named him the Rogue Titan, but does it change now that we know he ate the Attack Titan? Most of the fandom calls him the Rogue Titan but I know a few that call Eren's titan form the Attack Titan. So is it just majority rules or whichever one you feel like calling him?

I think of Eren being called the Attack Titan is more of a title than what you should call his form... or is that the same thing?

The Code Breaker anime has an open ended finish (so I'm thinking a sequel?!) but it's not clear to me if the prime minister dies at the end or not. Hitomi used his abilities on him and at the end the prime minister spits blood but it's not clear if he also dies.

Does the manga mention this?


texts: What do Seiyuu do after they are no longer at the peak of their fame?

texts:
Before they are famous, many seiyuu would work part-time whether it be at fast food restaurants or even physical works. For example the seiyuu Uchida Aya:

  During the early stages of her career she supported herself with part-time jobs such as being sales staff at departmental stores, production line quality inspector at factories, and sometimes even menial labor carrying cardboard boxes. The key criteria she had in choosing her jobs were that they had to be shift-based and versatile such that she could report to her entertainment office any time she needed to.2

Others also have career as eroge seiyuu (Nitta Emi, voiced a character in an eroge, Da Capo III), before they went famous and might continue even after they are famous, such as Itou Shizuka and Asakawa Yuu.

Like all entertainment job, a seiyuu job has its peak, and after that peak is over, the number of job offers one receive would reduce. I'm curious as to what does a seiyuu that is no longer at their peak of fame do for a living when they no longer have many anime to voice? Do they work on eroge? Or just normal games? Or they turn into salary-man/woman (office workers)? Please give some examples with your answer.

Edit 1:

If they retire at age of 40 or so (which is already stretching it as most female seiyuu would see the peak of their fame at their 25s, while the male ones would still be able to retain their fame longer), then they still have around 30 to 50 years of life ahead as a retired seiyuu. Certainly they would still need some jobs that earn them money to support their living, which is what this question is about. This is especially true since seiyuu don't get royalties from having their voice recorded, unlike singers. Mangaka gets their royalties from every copy of goods that is produced from the series they make.

krazer suggested that they are like athletes and other celebrities, they retire. Many athletes continue working after they retire from their professional career. Some famous footballer becomes a coach, for example, Zinedine Zidane, Antonio Conte, Diego Simeone, Pep Guardiola, and many more. But as for seiyuu, I never heard of a seiyuu that turned into a voice-acting coach.

senshin suggested that they do Hollywood dubs, while Aki Tanaka suggested that they do freelance voice-acting and voicing for mobile games. Problem with this is that as Aki has mentioned, it is not regular, while their living bills (accommodation, food, etc) still needs to be paid regularly. And with the seiyuu being no longer at the peak of his/her fame, freelancing might not be enough to earn them the money they need. Also I don't think the number of such job available is not much. I mean how many hollywood movies are being dubbed into Japanese anyway? I bet not much. Only the famous ones would see itself being shown in Japan. As I noticed from games such as Chain Chronicles, Kancolle and Panzer Waltz, one seiyuu voice several characters in such games.

Thus, I think the number of jobs available from dubbing Hollywood movies and mobile games won't be that much, and they still have to compete with seiyuu that is still at the peak of their fame, plus the rookie seiyuu as they are often also chosen to mitigate the production cost.

texts:
Hisoka constantly seeks out powerful opponents to challenge and kill. Razor was acknowledged by the Phantom Troupe to be pretty powerful. Why didn't Hisoka attempt to fight him?

So far (in the anime), the only other fights that Hisoka missed out on were:

Netero -- Hisoka deemed that Netero was leaving himself too vulnerable to attack.
Chimera Ants -- Hisoka was chasing Chrollo.
Chrollo -- Chrollo was cursed and unable to use his Nen abilities.

In the above situations, Hisoka lost the opportunity to fight powerful enemies. For other powerful fighters such as Illumi, Hisoka chose to befriend them temporarily in order to gain something. But in Razor's case, it seems like Hisoka shyed away from the challenge.

texts: What happens if Holo eats all the Wheat?

texts:
At the start of the anime, Holo says to Lawrence that the only way she was able to leave the fields was though the wheat Lawrence had brought, and it was key to her being able to remain with him.

Later, because of how cumbersome the wheat is, Holo ends up with a small pouch around her neck which has the wheat stripped from the stems inside. When she eats this, she is able to assume her wolf form. In the anime, she doesn't do this often. However it's not a large pouch, so I assume there's not a lot in there and she's already transformed twice.

Now, I am assuming that if she just spilled it all, she'll just remain where the grain seeds have landed.

Although it hasn't been explained in the anime, has it been explained in the Light Novels what would happen if Holo ate it all?

texts: How strong did Neia Baraja become, and what caused it?

texts:
So in Volume 13 of the light novel in Overlord, (spoilers)

   it's clear that Neia gets stronger, however I'm not sure just how strong she becomes. For example, during the archery training, she manages to get perfect shots but indicates that she was not able to do so previously. Moreover, the first time she used the Heavy Recover spell, she was able to only use it once before running out of mana, but later she displays the ability to use it multiple times. If one were to compare her to the ranking system used by adventurers (copper, iron, bronze, etc., adamantite), where would she rank?

Also

   I'm a bit confused on how the leveling system works in the New World. Ainz mentions that he is unable to increase his levels and XP by killing off over 100,000 soldiers in the battle with the Re-Estize Kingdom, so how can Neia get stronger?


texts: Why is harem a common theme in manga/anime?

texts:
Harem manga and anime are so popular that they have their own category. It's easy to name a few: Girls Wild, High School DxD, Sekirei, The World God Only Knows.

Why is this such a popular theme in both anime/manga? It is odd because in fantasy literature, American cinema, and Western television, harem is not a common theme and would offend most. How is it that they are so extremely prevalent (and seemingly accepted) in anime/manga?


texts: What does these non-numbered Monogatari novel's chapter title means?

texts:
Based on Wikipedia, each English volume for the Monogatari novel book has its own chapter title, for example:

Chapter Zero
Chapter One
Chapter Two
Chapter Three
Chapter Four
Chapter Five
Chapter Six
Final Chapter
Chapter Nixed
Chapter Snug
Chapter Idle
Chapter Change
Chapter Chaos

Basically, I roughly understand what does 'Chapter Zero' to 'Final Chapter' mean, I assume it is just for chronological meaning.

However, what does 'Chapter Nixed, Snug, Idle, Change, Chaos' mean? Any meaning behind why it is named after those 'term'?

Why don't they just name it 'Chapter Seven' and so on? And for Hanamonogatari, hana (花) means "flower", but why is its chapter named 'Chapter Change' instead of 'Chapter Flower'?

texts:
Throughout the fate universe, there are many strong servants. And one of them is Karna, who is said by Nasu to be on par with Gilgamesh.
But it is a fact that he consumes so much mana that an ordinary master can't handle it. A basic mage can't even keep his mana burst(flames) activated continuously for 10 seconds. Why does this happen?
The reason I'm asking this is simple. We have Gilgamesh, who uses thousands of noble phantasms (and that is his main offence) and still doesn't drain his master. This one may not seem like a good example (since he uses hate of Babylon) so let's look at another case;
Artoria(saber). She was summoned in fuyuki ALIVE. She is different from other servants this way. Since she was summoned like this and not in a servant container as how it should be, she had no choice but to use mana burst to match in strength with other servants. And even though she was using mana burst again and again, Shirou could handle it.
Why is it like this? Does this mean that Karna alone is like this? Will his prana consumption decrease if he summoned in archer or rider class?

The title is a bit misleading, because I am not talking about love.

I have watched the two seasons (and haven't read the manga).
In the second season, Sebastian hints that he "feels" degraded since he has to be a butler just to get Ciel's delicious soul. But since I've read the second season isn't canon. I doubted it.

I was wondering if this is actually true or if he has feelings towards Ciel. As in he is loyal towards Ciel and would never betray him. Some kind of friendship or something like that if you know what I mean.

Sebastian is never "pissed off" by orders from Ciel or anything and always smiles. Something I wouldn't expect from a devil.

texts:
So as I understand there are four versions of Dragonball Z Anime (correct me if I am wrong with this):

Japanese version / Subtitles in English
Funimation version
Ocean Dub
Dragonball Kai

So I am going through rewatching the episodes with my wife for her first time and am watching a version that seems "less censored" than what I remember watching. There is a lot of blood and swearing, which I am actually ok with as it makes it more realistic in my mind but which version would this be? It would not be the one that played on Toonami I am guessing.

My second question is, plot wise are there any major differences between the uncensored one that I am watching vs the more censored one? I just got to the start of the Freiza Saga and noticed that in the Saiyin Saga for example Gohan never mentioned where he wanted to invite Piccolo to his birthday party. This isn't a huge deal in plot but I was wondering if anyone who has watched both versions noticed anything bigger? I would think more or less that the uncensored version = censored version + a bit more.  One thing that really shocked me is that in the uncensored version, Goku finds out that he transformed into the Ape form and killed his grandpa when he was little, whereas the uncensored never mentions this. This seems to be a huge deal of him finding out or not!

I do notice that the music is quite different as well and IMO the uncensored music is better than I remember. It sounds like a full orchestra performing it each episode.


texts: Ritsu was great when she was first introduced, but as I go on with the series, she seems to be a little less useless every time I see her, and then in the past few chapters, she was just gone.

So what I'm asking: is she a necessary component of the class?


texts: Where was the Seven Blood Stains Incident detailed?

texts:
In Ar Tonelico Qoga, in the glossary under the Necrohouse of Ayatane, it talks about that some of the Teru Clans began to hate humans after something called the Seven Blood Stains Incident that was caused by Sol Ciel. It was this event that led to the Necrohouse allowing Garthnode Infiria to occur hoping that humans would destroy themselves.

But I don't know what this incident is. The only incident involving the Teru Tribe in Sol Ciel I am aware of was when Bourd kidnapped Misha from the Crescent Chronicle resulting in a battle between the Teru Tribe and Tenba which resulted in the destruction of Aurica's hometown Skuwat. But this was way way way after Garthnode Infiria so this can't be it.

The way it's worded seems as if this Seven Blood Stains incident is supposed to be matter of fact for players of the previous game (since it also clarifies that Mir's Son Ayatane is unrelated to the Necrohouse of Ayatane). So I am wondering where was the Seven Blood Stains Incident detailed? Was it in a drama CD or manga?

I've been watching Claymore. I haven't read the manga yet.

Number 8, Flora:

  She's the fastest there is at unsheathing, slashing, and sheathing back her claymore.

As you can see, she unsheathes, slashes, and sheathes back so fast that the image of her hand seems to be static, whereas a bunch of slashes appear around the target.

But wait.

What is the point of sheathing her claymore back while attacking someone? Isn't that a waste of time? Wouldn't it be more useful to unsheathe and then slash countless times rather than sheathing back her claymore during a fight?

Proof that she's indeed sheathing after X amount of slashes:

This scene below lasts for several seconds. This means that she must continuously sheathe her claymore, otherwise this image effect wouldn't be possible:

texts: Why doesn't Korra bend the metal on Kuvira's uniform?

texts:
In the latest episode (S04E06, "The Battle of Zaofu") Korra fights Kuvira who wears the following uniform

(from avatar.wikia.com)

In the linked article it is also said that

  While leading her army, Kuvira took to wearing a uniform with metal
  strips on her back, biceps, and calves, for which she developed a
  style of metalbending that involves bending the metal on her uniform
  and shooting them off of like projectiles.

Now I was wondering: Can't Korra bend the metal on Kuvira's uniform and chain her (or subdue in another way)? Is this due to the fact that Kuvira already has control over the metal (as described in the wikia article)?


texts: Are Watari and Kaori a couple by the time she is hospitalized after missing the gala violin concert?

texts:
One of the reasons Kousei uses to rationalize never making a move on Kaori (and the real reason being his indecisiveness, in my opition) is that she is Watari's girl/romantic interest.

Watari and Kaori are never shown as a couple, or even having anything between them beyond friendship, when they are together onscreen. Kaori doesn't seem to even give Watari the time of the day.

In episode 17, he tells Kousei "For the woman I love, I would drink even muddy water", while trying to usher him into visiting Kaori. His attempt at pushing Kousei into going there seems a perfectly fine wingman behavior, so I am quite confused.

So, there are a couple unknowns here:

In the fist episode, it is clearly stated that Watari has an interest in Kaori (and it is what starts the whole "Friend A" Kousei's self-demeaning thought train). Did they move forward?

Is Watari really wingmanning Kousei when he tells him to go visit her?

So, my question is, Is there any deeper meaning to the use of the Kabbalistic tree of life, or is it just used because it looks cool?

And when it became "morning", there was some light source like a sun, and the ground in the "sky" was burn. Also, through out the movies, there was morning and night in Age's world. How could that happen?

What exactly was the light source? Was that the planet's core? (It wasn't look like that on Earth) Or was that some kind of device?

I've felt that they both are similar, like it's a part of the individuals' insides/spirit/soul and also it can be sensed from a distance. Generally, the higher the person's Reiatsu or Chakra levels, the stronger that person is. Another similarity is how Chakra and Reiatsu diminishes to zero while dying. However, there are some significant differences which don't make them the same thing with different names.

I want to know both the differences and the similarities between them.
