When/Why did Nagi move out of her mansion and into the apartments in the anime?
In the first episode of the 4th season (Hayate no Gotoku! Cuties), Nagi is shown living in the apartment building with all of her friends.

(You can't really tell this is the apartments from the screenshot, but note the rather plain looking Japanese-style room compared to her Western-style room in her mansion which definitely had a fancy bed rather than a futon)
When did she move out of her mansion and into the apartments in the anime? I don't remember this happening.
And is there a reason she moved?
Update: In the following episodes, she is shown back in her mansion sometimes as well. This would imply that the current anime season is not fully following the manga which is why I have not accepted the answers giving manga-based answers.

Your question is actually not very clear that you want an answer that is specific to the anime, or an answer that is based on manga. (For me, the screenshot is only for illustration that Nagi moved to the apartment, rather than you asking why it is like that in the anime).

@nhahtdh If this season was a chronological adaptation of the manga, then a manga-specific answer would probably be fine. But since it is different, I don't think the manga answer is fully relevant when asking about the show.

Nagi did not completely leave her mansion. Rather, she seems to own both her mansion and the apartments. She goes between both the apartments and the mansion throughout the season (at least this is true for as far as I've seen, up to episode 6).
In episode 2, Hayate mentions that Nagi was staying at the apartments because it's easier for her to get work done in the apartments.

Based on the information in List of manga chapters animated in Hayate no Gotoku! Cuties, it seems like this season is adapting various manga chapters but not chronologically. It's possible that they altered the housing situation from what was in the manga so that this anime season appears to have more continuity - it would be odd if Nagi said she had no mansion in the beginning of an episode (adapted from a later chapter) and then was shown in her mansion during the next part (adapted from an earlier chapter).

Actually, the story here happens during the time that she was kicked out of her mansion in the manga. In order not to confuse viewer, I think they changed the plot a bit here to fit with the previous season 3. You can check out my answer here: http://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/3888/list-of-manga-chapters-animated-in-hayate-no-gotoku-cuties/3889#3889

@nhahtdh Wow, seems confusing. They're going more or less all over the place throughout the series.

Well, that's what happens in the anime. They use some material from before the move-out and some material after the move out and mix them altogether.

@nhahtdh Thanks for the info - I've added a bit to my answer with this information.

It's worth noting that the Heaven is a Place on Earth, Can't Take My Eyes Off You, and Cuties are all future timelines that may or may not become canonical to the manga depending on how the mangaka, Hata Kenjiro chooses to continue the current manga timeline which hasn't caught up to the movie or both new seasons of the anime yet.
All stories used in the episodes of Hayate no Gotoku! Cuties except for episodes 11-12 were taken from various manga chapters around 200-400-ish of the manga, so you definitely cannot dismiss manga-based answers. Some of the events in these chapters were understandably modified a bit for the anime in order to make it seem like the stories in Cuties take place after Can't Take My Eyes of You.
To answer your question directly, Nagi was never shown moving out of her mansion in the anime because the yet/never-to-be-animated End of the World Arc featuring Athena Tennousu who is currently Alice both in the Manga and in Cuties (the presence of Alice as well as the Violet mansion are clear indications that you cannot dismiss manga-based answers), concludes with Nagi losing her right to the Sanzen'in inheritance of her own volition by destroying the King's Jewel that Hayate was supposed to protect because it was the key to her inheritance. Thus, with the stone destroyed, her grandfather Mikado Sanzen'in evicts her from the mansion and she is forced to live on her own without her fortune. Fortunately, her head butler Klaus gives her the "apartment," the Violet Mansion, which was originally given to him as a gift by Yukariko Sanzen'in, Nagi's mother. Nagi then proceeds to rent out the different rooms in the Violet Mansion/Yukari-chan house in order to start earning money and that's how their friends eventually come to live in this house (for various ulterior motives).

All of the events leading to Nagi moving out to the Violet Mansion (the apartment building) happens during the Golden Week arc, which is not (yet?) animated.
In chapter 220, on the trip during the Golden Week, Aika delivers a mail from Mikado to Hayate:

 Mikado sets a new condition of inheritance, which is to defeat Hayate and either retrieve or destroy the King's Jewel that he is currently carrying. This King's Jewel was given to Hayate by Mikado in chapter 14, during his first visit to the main mansion.

In chapter 244 to 248

 Hayate and Athena meets again. Athena is possessed by King Midas, and King Midas wants the King's Jewel that Hayate carries to re-enter the Garden Palace and obtain god's power. To save Athena, they must break the "agreement" between Athena and King Midas which allows King Midas to possess her, and the only (safe) way to do it is to destroy Hayate's King's Jewel.

On the last day on the trip to Mykonos during Golden Week. In chapter 252:

 Hayate was troubled over whether to destroy the King's Jewel he has to save Athena, or to keep it to protect Nagi's inheritance. Nagi, seeing Hayate troubled face, decided to break the King's Jewel herself, henceforth loses her rights to the inheritance. She decides to abandon the money that has protected her so far and entrust herself to Hayate to protect her.

In chapter 268 to 270 (after Golden Week arc)

 They are now back from the trip to Mykonos. Having lost the rights to the Sanzen'in family's inheritance, Nagi has to move out of the mansion in a week. After a series of events, Klaus shows Hayate the apartment building called Violet Mansion, which was given to him by Nagi's mother due to a misunderstanding. Klaus decides it is time to return it to Nagi. Nagi later moves into the apartment building starting from chapter 277.

There's a section in the Hayate wiki entry on Nagi that explains why they had to move out of the mansion right after the Golden Week Arc, which occurs between chapters 211 and 266. The second season followed the manga up to chapter 148 and the 3rd season didn't follow the manga.

After coming back from golden week trip, Nagi was forced to leave her mansion due to her forfeiting her inheritance after she destroyed the King's Jewel. She orders Hayate to find a new house with 20 million yen. Later Nagi, Hayate, and Maria stayed at the Violet Mansion and started new life. Nagi prepared a plan to get money first with rent from the Violet Mansion (with butler service), she got a first tenant (Chiharu) because her house was burned by her parents.

None of this seems to ave been explained in the anime since the last episode from the "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" season, they were still in the mansion. The synopsis for the first episode of "Cuties" seem to imply that it's a flashback, so perhaps the previous season was after this season and they had moved back into the mansion, or the effect of the Golden Week Arc at least gets explained later in the season.

How many endings are there in the School Days Visual Novel?
During the course of the anime, Makoto sleeps around with a lot of the female cast. In the manga, the story is more focused on the two main female leads.
As far as I know, each deals with a different route from the original Visual Novel.
In the VN, how many different endings were possible? Was it possible for Makoto to get with any of the girls that he didn't in the anime? (for example Nanami Kanroji)

There are about 20 endings in the School Days Visual Novel. Here's the episode 6 routemap from School Days HQ:

Large image (severe spoilers)
The last leaves of the routemap tree can be duplicate (I know a single case, there can be more). The only reliable information about what ending you get is the title appearing at the end of a route, with the heading "Final Episode".
For example:

The attached routemap shows the title of the endings I know as of the time of writing, and the images you get in the main menu as a result of the route (see the two samples embedded in the routemap).
The number increases if you count "double" endings, where Makoto goes out with more than one girl and get a primary and a sort of secondary ending, explaining a particular outcome

 In one case, two girls are present in a single ending.

Makoto actually can date girls he doesn't get in the anime. In fact, there are more endings than girls. However, the two main heroines are Sekai and Kotonoha, and even the in-game graphics show Makoto's affection for them in the upper bar: red is Makoto's affection for Sekai, green is Makoto's affection for Kotonoha:

This is the reason why the anime almost only shows these two characters. On the contrary, by meeting particular conditions, you can choose other heroines in the game. Actually, there's even an ending where Makoto cannot get any girl, continuing to live his life normally without any love interest, though it's not included in the episode 6 routemap above.
As far as I know, Nanami Kanroji is and remains a supporting character in both the anime and the game.

 However, Nanami's friend Setsuna and her teammate Otome are heroines, as well as Sekai, while only Sekai is an heroine in the anime.

It's understandable, considering that Nanami Kanroji already has a boyfriend. She talks a lot about him to her friends and he appears during the School Festival:

 He is an otaku who likes playing visual novels, and he likes to be called oniichan by her when they have a sexual intercourse during the School Festival.

Being in a relationship herself, Nanami is in a good position to judge other characters' relationship. Nanami's role in the game seems to be judging Makoto's actions towards her friend Sekai, she has a very important role at the end of one of the routes. A hypothetical relationship between Makoto and her would destroy her credibility in the eyes of the player, reducing the impact of many key scenes.

Why are some hissatsu techniques in Inazuma Eleven never used again?
I'm not sure whether anyone around has watched and followed Inazuma Eleven enough to be able to answer this... but here goes!
A brief description: Hissatsu techniques are special techniques in the anime which enables the users to do some powerful moves, including goal keeper techniques, defense, offense and shoots.
Now, I noticed that there are some hissatsu techniques which aren't used again, especially those used in the movies of the anime:

Maximum fire used by Gouenji Shuuya in the movie Gekijyouban Inazuma Eleven Saikyou Gundan Ogre hasn't been used anywhere else in the anime.
Omega the Hand used by Endou Mamoru in the same movie never appeared again. Ironically enough, the episodes immediately following it have Endou looking for a stronger hissatsu technique than his current strongest at that point in time (I hope this make sense ^^)
Joker Rains used in the next movie, Kyuukyoku no Kizuna Gryphon by Shindou Takuto and Tsurugi Kyousuke is similar and isn't used again. Well, that one could be explained if they say they didn't want to use it again.

Is it just me or are the movies like... completely separate from the anime series? Why are hissatsu techniques exclusively used in movies never used again? If so, then there's something even stranger:

Matsukaze Tenma met Shuu the first and only time in the second movie, but knows him when he sees him again in episode 8 of Inazuma Eleven Go: Chrono Stone.
All those who went to God Eden in the movie also know about this place back in the series.

That's about the things I managed to notice, there might be more I didn't. The only thing I can think about is that the first movie alone is like a side/parallel storyline, or an alternative ending to the series, while the second movie is more like an actual event that happened but not much spoken of in the series, which I find really strange.

Or maybe that's something quite common in anime in general? -Also, thanks JNat!

I am not sure if it is just me, but I am not exactly sure what's being asked. Do you mean "Why are some hissatsu techniques in Inazuma Eleven never used again?"?

@JNat I added that part and bolded the questions. Sorry it's a bit drowned among the text.

No problem. I edited your title to include that missing part too.

They are special just for the movie. They make it that way so the movie is fun to watch with new sorts of hissatsu techniques. If you see better, there are a lot of Avatars in the movie that we didn't saw in the anime episodes too.

Those are separate cases.

The first movie The Invasion of the Strongest Army Ogre is not connected to the main series, since it happened in a different timeline due to the time travel. So in the main anime's timeline, the events in the first movie never happened.
The second movie The Ultimate Bonds Gryphon is canon for GO and occurs between the 2 matches. It is canon, as the next episode features Pegasus arc, and the speech about avatar drawing and talking about batteries and circuits.

Can you rewrite this in proper English?

What technique did Minato use to separate the Kyuubi into two parts?
When the Kyuubi attacked the Leaf Village after being hypnotized by Tobi, Minato as a last resort separated the Kyuubi into two parts. Recently in the latest chapters of the manga, it looks like the Kyuubi was separated into Black and White, as in Evil and Good, or Yin and Yang.
What technique did he use? Did he really split the Kyuubi into good and evil halves? Or is it just something made up for the split?

Dead Demon Consuming Seal ???

i dont know ._.

Minato used the Death Reaper Seal to seal the Yin half the Kyuubi in him, then he used the Eight Trigram Seal combined with the 4 Element Seal to seal the Yang Half of the Kyuubi in Naruto.
From Naruto Wiki

During its attack on Konoha, Minato Namikaze sacrificed his life by
  splitting the fox's chakra into two: sealing the Yang half within his
  son and sealing the Yin half within himself.

Lower down in the page:

Since Kurama's chakra was too immense to be sealed within an infant
  like Naruto, Minato first used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to
  separate and seal its Yin half within himself and then prepared the
  Eight Trigrams Seal to imprison the Yang half within Naruto

The 4 Element Seal was used so that the chakra of the Nine Tailed Fox would slowly leak out from the Eight Trigrams Seal and merge with Naruto's own chakra.

In addition, the "Four Symbol Seal" is actually the "Four Element Seal" said by Naruto when asked by Killer Bee during his training.

@NaraShikamaru Yes, there may be a difference in terminology due to different English Transalations available over the internet. :)

Follow up question: How such technique separate the good from the bad?

@NaraShikamaru as seen during the battle between Orochimaru and Sarutobi, the Third was able to seal only a part of Orochimaru, namely Orochimaru's hand. So I guess, Minato too did something similar and sealed only a part of the nine tails in him.

But the "Orochimaru's hand" doesn't mean that it is a "bad hand" or a "good hand" right? I think you misunderstood. My point is you can't just separate the "creamer" and the "coffee" if they mixed up in hot water.

Yin or yang don't mean good or bad. They mean mind and body. Minato sealed the yang in Naruto because the yin would have more mind power, and would be harder to control.

"Black and White as Evil and Good like a Yin-Yang", not yin and yang.

How does Hellsing (2001) relate to Hellsing (2006)?
How does the original Hellsing anime series relate to the newer OVA from 2006?
Is it just a re-release or is there more to it?

Nothing except for the character names, AFAIK. Hellsing 2001 is completely filler, while 2006 OVA is completely canon. Much like Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

Hellsing (2001) was based on the manga but contained significant differences, though the character design was similar and the names were the same. The setting was the same as the setting in the manga, but the plot was entirely different.
Hellsing (2006) or Hellsing Ultimate was an OVA that shared the same plot as the manga, following it much more closely than Hellsing (2001) did. Animated entries of The Dawn, the prequel series to Hellsing, were released with the 8th, 9th, and 10th episodes of Hellsing (2006).

Do songs that get used as openings/endings get sped up as well as cut?
I was listening to the original song used as the opening for the first season of Hakuōki, and I realized that the tempo in the original was slower. I also listened to Vampire Knight's opening, and READY STEADY GO!, which was used as one of the openings for the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime, and they too had slower tempos than I originally thought.
I know that when a song is used as an opening for an anime, it gets cut down to about 1 minute (in most cases it's about 1/3 of the original). But does the song also get edited so it plays faster, or is this increase in tempo a result of the quality being dropped?

If the song was made for the anime, it wouldn't make much sense to change its tempo afterwards.

@Omega for Hakuōki i don't think it was made just for the anime, it was done by Yoshioka Aika and i have the Soundtrack which has 2 songs on it and instrumental versions of them

Sometimes the harmony for a specific verse in an OP / ED is altered for the TV show.

As far as I know, theme songs are picked or created based on the anime's themes (if the song is appropriate with the anime's story) and its length will only be cut shorter while the tempo will stay the same (with the exception of course if the production decided to have another version of the opening to include in their OST).
However, most anime openings have faster tempo than endings to have that kind of "excitement feel" or some kind of "momentum" as an anime starts. But it really depends on the theme of the anime. If the anime has a tragic theme or a sad love story theme, sometimes production decides to have an opening song that has lower tempo, or a sad song, but mostly, it will have a faster tempo than its ending.

what about ending songs? i know that the ending for ergo proxy is heavily cut from radiohead's "paranoid android", but not sped up/slowed.

I'm not saying that what I answered was what the production "always" do. It's what "most" of them do. It really depends on the production's decision.

How did Naruto land the finishing Rasengan on Pain?
I watched Naruto's fight with Pain the other day, and I don't quite understand how Naruto managed to land a Rasengan on the Deva Path in that sequence of attacks which started with 2 Rasenshurikens.
This is what I have understood so far: Pain deflected first shuriken, then he jumped to dodge the second one flying towards his blind spot. As he landed, he was attacked by numerous Naruto clones, who were camouflaging as rocks with Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique), and he deflected all of them with Shinra Tensei yet again. After that, I completely lost track of what was going on and how he managed to land that Rasengan eventually.
Can anyone explain what happened with respect to the five-second interval and how Naruto managed to beat Pain?

What happened is as follows:

Naruto throws first shuriken, Shinra Tensei deflects it.
Naruto throws second shuriken, Pain dodged.
Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique attempts to attack Pain with all the clones, Shinra Tensei deflects them all.
Naruto, taking advantage of the 5 seconds it takes him to recharge, flings himself with the aid of 2 clones, and lands the Rasengan straight at him before he can use Shinra Tensei again.

Still not clear? Tell me in the comments :)

+1 and for the last line in the answer in the anime its shown all the clones stand together to brace the attack right? and on top of that he has to create a rasengan and jump to hit him. that seems a lot of time for 5 secs.

Basically, all the clones try to mob Pain. Pain then uses Shinra Tensei and Naruto realizes that he can use all his clones to withstand it and not take the full force of the Shinra Tensei. After that, the Shinra Tensei has a 5 second cooldown, but Naruto didn't get pushed back far because of his clones. Naruto closes the distance with a Rasengan in 5 seconds.

krikara. makes more sense now. thanks for the clarification

After coming out of Pain's Chibaku Tensei, Naruto first snatched a chakra receiver from the Deva Path, and stabbed himself momentarily to track down Nagato's location using his Sage Mode.
He then created two shadow clones and then a Rasenshuriken using these clones. He also used two smoke bombs for deception. He had already used this trick previously during the battle, when he had first sent a real Rasenshuriken and then his real self disguised as a Rasenshuriken.
Pain began anticipating the same thing to happen. As expected, Naruto sent the first real Rasenshuriken, which pain promptly deflected using Shinra Tensei. However, this time, the second Rasenshuriken was a real one, hidden under the first one as a shadow shuriken. Naruto's two shadow clones also emerged, but Pain was prepared having already seen this trick before (or so he thought). He stabbed the two clones with his chakra receivers, and also dodged the Rasenshuriken.
The purpose of this part of Naruto's plan was to force Pain to use Shinra Tensei, to take advantage of the five second interval during the next part of his plan. It is now revealed that Naruto had previously used the Mass Shadow Clone technique, and then transformed those multiple clones into boulders. Naruto undoes the transformation, aiming to attack Pain with these shadow clones.
However, this doesn't work as expected since Pain's ability returns at the last moment, and he uses the Shinra Tensei to push away Naruto's shadow clones before he can land a direct hit on Pain.
Now Naruto switches to a backup plan, wherein he uses the mass shadow clones as a support for the main body to oppose Shinra Tensei's push. Having used the Shinra Tensei, Pain's five second interval kicks in again, during which Naruto finally lands a direct hit on Pain using his Rasengan. Having defeated the Deva Path, he proceeds to meet the original Nagato.

Wow, turns out Madara already wrote an answer while I was busy writing mine!

Madara is an Uchiha, of course he has natural speed than you,, lols..

The answer is simple. Naruto is in Sage Mode. When you are in Sage Mode which taught and learned by the toads, the advantages afforded include:

The user's physical strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, perception
and durability dramatically increase.
The user's ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu become more powerful.
The user can harness the natural energy surrounding them, turning it
into an extension of their body, which increases the reach of their
attacks.
The user gains the ability to sense Chakra around them.

As I emphasized the speed and reflexes, Naruto can react in a split seconds and took advantage the 5 secs interval and make it work.

well your answer is telling me what sage mode does. actually before he lands a hit on pain naruto completely loses his sage chakra after the 2nd rasen shuriken.

Actually, Naruto wasn't in sage mode when the final Rasengan hit.

How can Naruto/Jiraiya summon different toads with the same summoning technique?
When Jiraiya taught Naruto the toad summoning technique, he taught only one set of hand seals. However, different types of toads have appeared from the same jutsu.
We have seen Naruto and Jiraiya summoning Gamakichi, Gamatatsu or even a tadpole, when they failed to mold chakra properly during training. However, Jiraiya has summoned toads of the same or larger sizes such as Gamabunta (Jiraiya & Tsunade vs Orochimaru), Gamaken (Jiraiya vs Pain), Gamahiro (Konoha vs Orochimaru), etc. using the same jutsu.
If inability to mold chakra properly results in summoning a small toad, what needs to be done differently with the technique to summon a larger toad?

Based on what I was able to find, I think they are able to summon different types of toads based on their (the animal's) skill level or the matter at hand that needs attending to.

The ninja normally signs a blood contract with the animal species,
  which allows them to summon different size and skill levels of
  creature. The ability to summon more advanced animals largely depends
  upon the amount of chakra the ninja can muster to perform the jutsu.
  By signing this contract, the creatures themselves can also reverse
  summon the contract signer to their location. (src)

Additionally, as per the wiki on Summoning Technique.

While most summoners have only been shown capable of summoning one type of creature, Nagato (through the Animal Path) was able to summon several different animals and even people, and seemingly did not require a blood offering when performing this technique. Sasuke is able to summon both snakes and hawks, though he has never been seen summoning both species at the same time.

Another determining factor on which toad is summoned might be moliding chakra poorly (but that was long ago) and rather unlikely to happen again.
In conclusion, a plausible answer would be that they are able to summon any animal of the species they have signed a contract with depending on their current need and or the situation, or the amount of chakra they have at the time. For the former, it would most definitely be by choice that Naruto would summon Gamabunta rather than Gerotora in a battle.

I toss terms around lightly like ...any animal of the same species. This might be vague but anyone with even a bit of Naruto history should understand what I mean..

How do I read manga with multiple panels?

Taking this double-page spread for example. There are total of 8 panels, but it's divided into three different segments from the top to the bottom.
I've tried reading from the top-right, to the bottom-right, then starting with the next pane downwards. I know Japanese manga is read right-to-left, and I'm having some trouble reading this particular part.
As a rule of thumb, how do I properly read manga with multiple panels like this?

You would typically read it in a S shape from one row to the next, always returning far right panel when you start a new row.
+-------------------+
|    2    |   1     |
+-------------------+
|  6  | 5 | 4 |  3  |
+-------------------+
|    8    |    7    |
+-------------------+

So on the first row, start from the far right and you hit the far left panel of the first row, move to the far right panel of the second row. Then at the far left panel of the second row, move onto the far right of third row and finish the page.
However because of the flow of action in this particular page the order of panels goes more like this:
+-------------------+
|    2    |   1     |
+-------------------+
|  3  | 4 | 4 |  3  |  <-- the 2nd and the 4th Hokage are acting simultaneously
+-------------------+
|    6    |    5    |
+-------------------+

So is there a general rule of thumb I can follow when dealing with crazy multipane stuff like this?

The general rule of thumb is the first example, because it should work in 99% of cases, including the one example you gave, because this is the way of reading most readers are accustomed with . It's up to the author to direct the flow of the action. For the example you noted, notice the how the top and bottom rows (particularly the right most panels) mirror each other. The idea here is probably to illustrate the split-second swap in a more dynamic way.

Is Blue exorcist really based on a slush puppy?
During a discussion with some friends, one of my friends said that blue exorcist is based on a slush puppy. I know some artists can get creative through a lot of things (elfen lied from a German poem) but I found this one pretty hard to believe.

Hence my question: Is blue exorcist really based on this slush puppy? Or on something else?

This seems both 1.) obviously wrong and 2.) very difficult to disprove. I very much doubt that there will be any source that says "Blue Exorcist was not based on an ice-slush beverage".

@senshin loopers answer might not disagree tot he beverage but does show he based it with other ideals in mind

In an interview with Animenewsnetwork, he said that he was inspired by a Grimm fairy tale:

What were your chief inspirations when creating Blue Exorcist?
Kato: It originally was inspired by a Brothers Grimm fairy tale, where brothers combat monsters.  Then, I tried to make the story flip several times, and settled down into a simple structure of demons versus an exorcist.

Can anyone be a Ninja/Shinobi?
In the latest Naruto manga (Chapter 646), the Shinobi world was built by the God Tree where the chakra really originated. But what if you don't have chakra and born as a normal human, can you be a Shinobi?
Please take note that I am referring to persons with no inborn chakra and without the ability to manipulate it.

two words... "Rock Lee"

Rock Lee is using chakra on his taijutsu.

oops, guess i forgot the 8 chakra gates.. sorry about that

My answer is yes, anyone can be a Shinobi.
All humans have chakra. This isn't exactly something you are born with or without. The latest chapter was a bit confusing, but Madara specifically stated that the Sage of Six paths was the first person to "wield" chakra. That means that he was the first person to be able to use it with skill, not the first person born with it.
Chakra is present in every cell of the body
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Chakra
Anyone can be a shinobi if they are taught how to use their chakra. And even for people like Lee who can't use chakra externally for ninjutsu and genjutsu, he is still able to use chakra in other ways, such as walking on water.
As for the last part of your question "without the ability to manipulate it" , I think this part is probably arguable as the definition of a shinobi is arguable. How exactly do we want to define shinobi. For my definition, a shinobi simply just a ninja. Shinobi in Naruto normally take missions for hire and wield chakra.
However, in Naruto, there should not exist people with no inborn chakra and thus anyone can be a shinobi. People aren't born with the ability to manipulate chakra; they learn how to.
EDIT (My additional interpretation of the last chapter):
Here's the way I interpreted it. Everyone contains chakra, but no one knew how to use it. When Kaguya consumed the fruit, she became godlike with excessive amounts of chakra. She then gave birth to a child, who was born into the world knowing how to manipulate it. From there on, the Sage of Six paths taught others how to manipulate it.
Madara said "Chakra was something that originally only belonged to the Shinju" and I think this is just a mythical explanation of how chakra came to humans. Before Kaguya, no one was able to manipulate chakra and therefore chakra only belonged to the Shinju. "By taking the chakra by force" as Madara said, AKA consuming the fruit, humans could figure out how to manipulate it. This also further explains why the Shinju is taking all the chakra back. If for some reason Kishimoto decides to use Madara's interpretation of the Uchiha Tablets as actual history, there will be contradiction to how Kishi defined chakra in the past.
Asian history has a common tendency to include supernatural/mythical features to its stories, like the Romance of the 3 Kingdoms for China. Although there are some certain historical facts to it, stuff like magic is included and it gets all sorts of wacky if we believed everything that was recorded.

Then the God Tree is useless if human can learn to manipulate chakra in the 1st place?

I edited my answer to give an additional explanation.

I think the importance of the God Tree was that it pretty much started Shinobi. Without it, no one would know how to manipulate chakra. By eating the fruit, and then giving birth to a child that was able to manipulate it, it started the existence of Shinobi.

Brook ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi devil fruit.

The Yomi Yomi no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit which enhances the
  user's soul to the point where they can come back to life after dying
  once, remaining alive until their body is sufficiently damaged, and to
  use several other soul-based abilities, making the user a Reviving
  Human (復活人間 Fukkatsu Ningen?). The name is derived from Yomigaeru
  (よみがえる), meaning "Resurrection", also, Yomi (黄泉) is the name of the
  Japanese underworld.

As for why he is a skeleton.

Brook's soul was able to return to the mortal world thanks to the powers of his Devil Fruit. Unfortunately for him, he had lost his body because of the fog in the area (it made it hard to find the ship) and had to search for it for one year. When he finally found his body, it was just a pile of bones.

Why was Bartholomew Kuma after Luffy's head at the conclusion of the Thriller Bark arc?
Why did Bartholomew Kuma want to take Luffy's head after the Thriller Bark Arc? Wasn't he a member of Revolutionary Army and secretly working for his father Dragon? If it wasn't for Zoro, Luffy would have died.

i assume that that time he didn't know about luffy being his(dragons) son and so as a member of the shichibukai, he wanted to kill him

there is a reference in the episode 377 , just after the incident he says 'your son has good friends'

oh! Then let me check on it!
Ill come up with an answer soon :P

@MärmîkŠhâh Wrong :) he does know about the connection between dragon ace and him

Bartholomew Kuma was a undercover member of revolutionary army, he cannot just say to the marines that he wont kill Luffy. Similarly, Straw Hat Pirates and Rolling Pirates (Lola's group of pirates) heard the order of the marines and Kuma can't just take a risk of blowing his own cover.
Hence he pretends to fight them all, since that also gives him a chance to check the loyalty of his crew and what are there potential.

Is that the only reason?? :S

@MärmîkŠhâh I checked the story, and this seems the only logical reason. What do you think??

I couldn't really find anything else so i guess this is fine! :)
+1!

Is there something wrong with my answer, I mean its not accepted even after this much time.

I've always thought of it as, he knew that their crew wouldn't make it any further without hard training, so he had to make him realize what it would be like to lose his crew. It was also a great way to keep his cover in the military.

Can you clarify who is "he" and who is "their crew"?

Do we know how old Kakashi is?
I've been wondering, since I can't find an exact age... While watching these filler episodes, he appears as the ANBU Kakashi, who was leading his team. Being the Senpai of Itachi he looks exactly (maybe for me) like he does in the present day... Is this a coincidence? Or couldn't the animators be bother to add additional "lines" to his face? Note that we've seen the newborn Naruto, that would mean that Kakashi looks the same as he did 17-18 years ago..

Using this timeline and the following data
September 15 Birth day Kakashi
Academy Grad. Age   5
Chūnin Prom. Age    6

We can tell that Kakashi was born 14 years before the 9-tails attack. Using the information that the Akatsuki dead line was 18 years after the 9-tails attack. we can tell that Kakashi should be roughly 32 years old.

pretty interesting...+1!

btw...interesting,that we got info about Sarutobi...but nothing from earlier times, nor the First or the Second Hokage...

@Rinneg4n Tons of info scatterd around. I believe the last time that time line got updated was in Januari. So it might be lacking some of the more recent info we got ^^

at the time of pain he was 30 so one year has passed in the forth great ninja war so he is 31. mr.dimitri mx you were so so close by one year. and also have we considered that kakashi died by pain and was revived so technically he restarted his life when pain revived him so isnt he really one years old.

Please format the question and use the basic english guidlines like large and lower case. This is not the only answer you wrote like this. We do not want to edit all of your answers. Also press from time to time the enter key. It is much easier to read if you do so...

I don't think revival counts as life time reset, he still has the mental state and physical state of a 30 year old.

Why did Edward not wear a uniform?
As far as I know, Edward Elric is the only State Alchemist who doesn't wear a uniform. Why was he treated differently? Did he have a special rank or something?

This is Edward current 'Uniform'

These are some state alchemist, all of them wearing a uniform.

I think this is because the ones wearing the uniform also work full-time as soldiers, whereas Ed would only have to work as such if there were a state of emergency declared.

only 2 of them are state alchemist in that picture

It appears that in the Fullmetal Alchemist universe, those who are state alchemists are not necessarily in the military hierarchy per se, even if they have a rank equivalent to major.
Yes, there are alchemists such as Mustang, Basque Gran, Armstrong, etc. who are active members of the military, but there are also other state alchemists who, while involved in the military state alchemist program, are not involved in the military full-time as those I mentioned earlier are.
An example of this would be Shou Tucker, who we never see wearing a uniform, but is a state alchemist. Given that Edward similarly seems to not be involved in the military as a soldier on a daily basis, it makes sense that he doesn't wear a uniform.

Three theories:

The two alchemists in the picture, Mustang and Armstrong, were in the military when they became state alchemists during the war in Ishval as is the case with the vast majority of state alchemists we see in the series. it could be the case that after the war, state alchemist became a more broad term.
For some state alchemists, like Ed, not wearing a military uniform helps with more clandestine activities as there are many places Ed and Al go where the military is disliked.
It could also be the fact that Ed doesn't like the fact that he's beholden to the government and doesn't want to wear a reminder of that everywhere he goes.

What is the cause of the zombie outbreak?
In the first episode from the anime Zombie's already exist. And after finishing the anime there's still no explanation about their origins. Is the outbreak cause already revealed in the manga?

With the current information given we do not know the reason of the outbreak.
This might be a potential plot point later on in the story as they do hint to trying to find out the cause, but we wont know till the manga is updated once more. Which might some while as it been on hiatus for quite some time. Is Highschool of the Dead on hiatus again?

What does the second part of rule VII mean?
hello it's me again with another question about my favorite anime/manga death note. So, here's my question: what does rule VIII's second part mean:

Even if you do not actually possess the Death Note, the effect will be the same if you can recognize the person and his/her name to place in the blank.

Can someone explain this to me?

Hi you again. Can you please edit your title to be more descriptive of the actual question (and not just the manga/anime, given that those are in the tags already)?

Hi there again user6399. Don't forget to accept the answers if they solved your problem. More about accepting answers here http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/5235/261323, http://stackoverflow.com/help/someone-answers, http://stackoverflow.com/help/accepted-answer

Contains spoilers
This rule pretty much means that, if you were to be given a ripped out piece of paper. Even tough you are not the owner of the death note, the people you write down in there will die.
In the anime we can see a good example, I don't know the exact episode(s) but it was during the investigation of Light by the FBI as potential suspect. Where light gave the FBI agent Penber a envelope.

 Light tells Penber to take the contents out of the folder he gave him, and Penber takes out four envelopes with ten rectangular spaces cut out of the left side of each one. Light says to write down the names of the agents into the blocks on the folders. As Penber writes, Light tells him not to get off of the train when he's done, and that if he follows his instructions his fiance and family will not be killed. As Penber finishes, Light says to put the transmitter and envelope back into the folder and sit quietly for thirty minutes, then place the envelope above on the rack and leave the train when no one will notice. At 4:42 PM, Penber dies from a heart attack three seconds after he exits the train, and his last sight is of Light’s face. Penber appears shocked as he looks at Light's face and says "Light Yagami." Light watches as Penber dies, and says "Farewell, Raye Penber." - Wiki

Light takes the files home and takes the pages of the Death Note out of their envelopes, revealing the times and causes of death for each agent. Each agent will receive the file and die at a different time.

im sorry but i still dont understand it... :(

Is the dialog in the One Piece opening unique?
In the latests one piece opening (opening 17 Wake Up) At around the 1:27 mark of the opening there is a short dialogue between Blackbeard and Luffy, with our Straw Hat hero telling Blackbeard it is him who will obtain One Piece and be the Pirate King!
Is this a unique feature made by One Piece just like their long openings instead of openings and endings. Or has it been used before/ is it more common to add a piece of dialog in between the opening of a series.

"Or has it been used before" you mean is this dialog happen in anime or manga before? or something else? I haven't watch the anime but I'm pretty sure that Luffy said that to Kurohige somewhere in manga. (He did say that to a lot people)

@ShinobuOshino I mean as in the style, half way the opening a sudden dialog part. I do see it sometimes during endings of series, that in the final ending song there is a piece of dialog. But never before in a opening. So I wonderd, is this something one piece unique. Did they create it, or has it happend before in another anime.

don't remember seeing anywhere else. maybe unique to OP. but can't say I've seen much anime to verify.

This is unique in this opening
There hasn't been any opening before with text between two characters. I've seen every opening and haven't seen it in earlier openings, that being said I don't know every ending of OP so I don't know if it was used in those before.
The piece of dialogue is just flavor, nothing more nothing less. It isn't shown anywhere in the anime or the manga. This is probably just to spice up the opening and set a premice for the opening battle that follows suit.
If any other anime did this please let me know or correct me but I haven't seen it anywhere before, but I haven't seen every anime so I can't say

Information about Spice and Wolf Manga
So I completed the Spice and Wolf anime, seasons yesterday. And found the ending unsatisfying, so incomplete.
Now I want to complete the story, so I tried looking for the manga on some websites online but I could only find the manga up till Volume 6, which is part of season 1 of the anime.
I did find out that the light novel is way ahead with 15 volumes (anime completed at 5th excluding 4th volume) but I don't like reading light novels.
Later I did find  something on amazon
It claims its volume 13th of the manga, but I am not sure it really is.
Now I want to buy the manga, but where can I buy them? And does the manga really extend beyond the 6th volume I already managed to find?

I rephrased your question quite a bit. If anything is lost, feel free to add it back in again. Also we do not endorse promoting illegal providers (like the site you linked) so try to refrain from using them in the future

cool you made my question way much better and understandable thanks @Dimitrimx

Possible duplicate of Does the Spice and Wolf anime follow the same events as the manga

@AkiTanaka no it isnt i read the whole thread before making my own plus it does not answer my question.....

@AyushKatoch From the original question, I think you want to know how many manga volumes the anime cover, which I have posted a new answer there.

You answered that question few minutes ago so i didnt bothered looking again (when you made that duplicate comment) now its there and yes answered my question too thanks. @AkiTanaka

...how much searching did you do? Literally thirty seconds of searching 'Spice and wolf manga' on Amazon turned up all 13 volumes of the manga. If you're not in the US, then it would help to mention that in your question, as the answer to 'where can I find this?' may be different for different countries.

And does the manga really extend beyond the 6th volume I already managed to find?

yes. according to Wikipedia in the Manga part of the Info Box

Where can I legally watch the dubbed version of "Kimi no na wa" ("Your Name")?
Is there a dubbed version of kimi no na wa, and is there a site to watch the dubbed version of kimi no na wa online legally?

To be clear, what language are you looking for?

Take note that we don't encourage piracy here, so don't expect to be able to watch it freely, unless there's a legal site that provides it.

According to Amazon,  Your Name will be releasing on Blu-Ray & DVD in America on November 7, 2017.
You can pre-order the DVD + Blu-ray combo pack for $20.

If you're in Japan, you will be able to purchase the Blu-Ray on July 26, 2017.
Amazon seems to be cross-listing this product in their catalog:

In NA, the release date appears to be August 4th.
In the UK, the release date appears to be October 30th.

Depending on where you live, you'll be able to make the purchases when they're available from reputable vendors, like Amazon.  Other specialty shops may sell them slightly earlier.

Where can I watch the Doraemon New Year Special which aired on 31st December 2001?
So I just figured in my previous question Which Doraemon episode is this with Shizuka and multiple mini Doraemons? that I cannot get a DVD of this New Year Special.
I would like to know where I can watch these specials alternatively.

I doubt any of the known legal sources have a new year special from 16 years ago, but it might be worth the check. If not, considering there are no DVD's, I doubt we can point you to any legal source to view it.

From where did he get 2 scissors and 4 papers?
In episode 5 of Kaiji, Kaiji plays scissors against Kitami.
Later in the same episode, we find out he has 2 scissors and 4 papers other than 30 rocks. Where did he get these?

If I remember correctly, he had them because some people with 3 stars (or more) gave papers and scissors along with the stones so that they no longer had any cards and could climb upstairs.

It's been 7 years since I've seen Kaiji season 1. What exactly do you mean to ask? I mean I recall Kaiji had some cards besides the 30 rocks. What about the 2 scissors and 4 papers doesn't make sense? I guess we could figure it out if we trace his exact card inventory from the beginning. One way this question could make sense if you noticed that Kaiji seemed to have 4 scissors and 4 papers immediately prior to playing against Kitami and then having 2 scissors and 4 papers immediately after. Then we'd wonder where the other scissors went.

After being tasked with collecting as many rocks as possible, and then splitting up, the group mentality was that while collecting scissors and paper was not the goal, there was nothing wrong with it. I can't remember whether or not Alix's answer is specifically how it happened but it may very well have been. I can however remember that it was insinuated that they were collected after they split during one (or multiple) trades in their mission to collect rock cards. There did not need to be a specific time or reason they got those cards as the writers covered their bases in the montage of trading/collecting cards.

Trying to find a song from Assassination Classroom episode 19

This is track #18 from the season 1 soundtrack, titled 「エレクトリック会議」 Electric Kaigi "Electric Meeting". You can listen to an excerpt from this piece (and the rest of the OST, too) on the Amazon Japan page for the album.

Why do the three admirals of One Piece Akainu, Aokiji and Kizaru have different(opposite) power from their character?
I have been watching the anime and reading the manga of One Piece for 2 years and I found out some strange and good things.
One of the things I found out recently is that all three Admirals have different(opposite) powers from their behaviour.

Akainu has the power of magama but is cold hearted
Aokiji has the power of ice but is warm hearted
Kizaru has the power of the speed of light but is a slow talker

Is there any back story on these traits?

Are you asking why their powers are opposed to their personality ?

I don't think that this has an actual cannonical answer. It's a design choice by their creator. The world of one piece is filled with humor like that. Oda is working on a high school comedy in secret

Funfact: Fujitoras power is purple because his personality is a mixture of Akainu and Aokiji. (can't find the source right now)

I don't even think the power DF can change the personality of the user.

Callat, can I get a source on Oda's secret side project?

While this exactly is not stated from Oda himself, Oda really likes that kind of humor. It is stated though that the second part of their name for example: Aka-Inu
Inu is Japanese for dog.
They stem from an old story of Momotaro, where a boy from heaven came down in a peach (his name means peach as well).
The boy was accompanied by the animals. Thus the names.
In the FPS for chapter 558 Oda also states why they look like they do.
He got the inspiration from famous Japanese movie actors.
Bunta_Sugawara - Akainu Movie: "Machinegun Dragon"
saku_Matsuda - Aokiji Movie: "Tantei Monogatari"
Kunie_Tanaka - Kizaru Movie: "Truck Yarou" from 1978
Shintaro_Katsu - Fujitora Movie: "Zatōichi"

This isn't asking about the names but rather about their powers being opposite from their behavior. Other than your first sentence, it's not clear how this question answers that.

Who was the little girl being possessed by Orochimaru during his fight with 3rd Hokage?
I am wondering, during Orochimaru's fight with the 3rd Hokage, there's a little girl whom Orochimaru possessed.
Who was that girl? What is her ability, or why did Orochimaru choose to possess her?
I tried browsing the net and replaying the sequel but still can't find that little girl in the story.

Konoha Crush Arc: volumes 13-16, chapters 116 to 138 of the manga and episodes 68 to 80 of Naruto (anime)

I believe you are talking about the girl Orochimaru "became" during the fight with the 3rd Hokage on the roof during the Chunin exams (Ch. 121). I just went back and read that part of the story and I don't believe her identity was ever stated. This is the episode in the anime where he rips his face off and reveals this girl's face:

In other words this is the girl he used as his vessel.

but who is she? Why the 3rd Hohage got mad when he saw her?

@jcho360 We don't know, but give how the 3rd cared for the children of the village, it wouldn't be a stretch to see him get angry at harm coming to any child, regardless of who it was.

I don't think we have much canon information to go on, other than the fact that she was probably powerful, since Orochimaru possessed her body.
Note that the Naruto wikia folks couldn't dig up much about her either, and as a result, the wikia page for her ended up being deleted due to lack of notability. (See the discussion for that page.)

Why MAL (MyAnimeList) is putting light novel and comic together?
I live in Hong Kong, and at least from my observation, light novels and comics are quite different things in Asia. However it seems that on sites like MAL, which is not of the Asian origin, they categorize light novels and comics as one.
Are light novel and comic seen as similar things in English speaking area? Or is there any special reason for services such as MAL to decide light novel and comic should fall under the same type?
I also noticed that this site is named "Anime & Manga", but also contains a light-novel-production tag. Hence the same categorization seems to happen here as well.

@Kozaky Well, I didn't, but the forum page is not yet recovered after previous shut down in May. https://myanimelist.net/forum/

This is just how they decided to group the items in their database for easier /better/more obvious discovery/(whatever other reasons they thought of). This site is not a discussion forum though, we only answer questions. Discussion is not held here on the main site proper. But you can join chat and talk to users there.

should also note that we (Anime and Manga.SE) also allow questions on Visual Novels, Japanese Video Game Storys, Manwha. name is already getting long. that part of your question is more for Metahttps://anime.meta.stackexchange.com/

I rephrased your question to focus a bit less on MAL in particular, and more on the underlying question "why would Light novels be categorized along side comics", if you feel that some of the meaning is lost, feel free to edit it back in.

Well, the problem is there isn't really any category out there that includes both comics and novels. While it can be argued that they could be called "literature", some argue that not all comics can be categorized here, especially the ones that don't really contain text. So as they started with the "manga" category it was easier to leave it as that.

I wouldn't say comics and light novels are the same thing.
To be even more precise, I think there's even a big difference between Comics and Manga but more about that can be read over here.
This distinction can also be found strongly in the readers. Not all light novel readers like manga, and vice versa. This being the case in both Asian and Western cultures.
However, on services such as MAL and A&M, it does make sense to throw them under the same category.
A&M aims to be a Q&A platform focused on a fandom, which commonly identifies themselves under the terms 'anime and manga' fans. However, the people that are part of this fandom don't limit themselves to 1 specific medium, as some stories may differ/extend through out Visual novels, light novels, manga and anime/movies.
This also leads to questions about Visual novels, light novels, and the likes. Which is also the reason we have a tag for light-novel-production
To take from a MAL perspective, you want to keep track of what you have watched/read, whether this is a light novel, or a manga/comic.
So TL;DR, this form of categorization is mostly for convenience, and reaching a larger chunk of a/the fandom.

Does CCG Know that Haise Sasaki is Actually Ken Kaneki?
I just started the 3rd season, but I read the wiki, and I was curious.... Didn't CCG capture Kaneki and got the idea for the Quinx because of him? Then why did they let "Eyepatch" join the CCG as an investor (and gave him such a high status, too)? I know for a fact that CCG knows that he is a ghoul, so doesn't that mean they know that he's Kaneki?

From what I understand from the Manga:
Haise Sasaki is an Alter Ego of Ken Kaneki. Ken Kaneki was completely broken down and brainwashed. The knowledge that Ken Kaneki, the person, is a ghoul, is not common knowledge in the CCG, only a selected few know about this. They also don't know that Sasaki is Kaneki, and he doesn't know himself. For all that matters for most of the investigators of the GCC, the Eyepatch/Centerpede ghoul has been disposed of by Kisho Arima, if they know at all. Except for a selected few, the CCG thinks of Sasaki as a Quinx user (if even, I'm actually not sure if he ever used his Kakuhou while in the CCG), although he is none.
And the idea of the Quinx didn't come from Kaneki, it came from Ryoujirou Shiba. He actually did this better than the guy who did this to Kaneki, Akihiro Kano, the latter coming to admire the work of Shiba later on.

What is this memorial/offering in The Walking Man?
In The Walking Man by Jiro Taniguchi, the main character is walking down a road when he passes what seems like a roadside memorial:

I couldn’t find much information online about roadside memorials in Japan (what I found didn’t look like this) or offerings (closer to the image above).
What is it exactly? And what are the things that form it? (flowers, yes, but what are the other two things)

I don't know the original manga or the context behind the scene. However, as a Japanese, I can tell it is certain that the memorial you mentioned is for a person who died at the site.
In Japan, one sometimes sees this kind of flower offering at the roadside. When we see it, we know someone died there and sometimes put our hands together in prayer. If you put "道 献花" or "道路 献花" in Google search, you may find some examples.
When a fatal accident happens, someone (usually neighbors or acquaintance of the deceased) will bring flowers and other things (incense sticks, toys, snacks, sake, cigarettes, etc.) to mourn him or her.
As far as I know, these memorials are often temporary and people bring bouquets. In the scene of the Walking Man, however, the flower is put in a bottle (I suspect it's made of plastic), so it is possible that someone keeps offering the flower and taking care of it.
As to the other things than the flower, the little pot beside the bottle appears to be one for standing and burning the incense sticks. The two little boxes put on the concrete block are probably the cases for incense sticks (the lower, bigger one) and matches (the smaller one).
The man in the manga seems to be thinking about the death that happened at the site. The memorial looks small and fragile compared to the road traffic, and this scene causes me some mixed feelings. I think it is an impressive depiction.
I hope this post will be of any help.

In Root A, did Hide feed himself to Kaneki so that he would heal?
Hide started bleeding shortly after Kaneki woke up, however, Kaneki had passed out from blood loss and was having difficulty healing.
Then there's the weird dream Kaneki had that makes me believe that maybe he was, like, sleep-feeding or something.
Did Hide maybe feed part of himself to Kaneki so that Kaneki would heal instead of dying?

Hide let kaneki eat him so kaneki could regain his strength and the 2nd season of the anime doesnt follow the manga.

Hi, looks like you posted a new answer even though you already have an existing answer here. Unless this is a significantly different answer, consider [edit]ing the older one, then deleting this answer to make the thread clean :)

This was not shown in the anime nor in the first Tokyo Ghoul manga. The answer to this was only revealed in Tokyo Ghoul:re.
In Vol. 15 Chapter 164,

a scene was shown in which Kaneki and Hide were talking at the top of a building. Later on, Kaneki asks Hide to show what he (Kaneki) did to him (Hide). This implies that Kaneki did attack/mutilate Hide but could not remember it himself. Also, since Hide did not harbor feelings of anger or regret against Kaneki throughout the manga, it can be said that he either let Kaneki eat a part of him or he might have tried to fight back and failed but forgave Kaneki for what he did. Personally, I think the former was what happened, given how Nagachika is.

We wouldn't know for sure because those events took place after he woke up and therefore the answer is not simple or a known fact. Only the writer would know, but my opinion is: no, Hide must have took damage from a ghoul.

Ballroom e Youkoso Episode 14 & 19 OST question?
I have the OST Soundtrack for Ballroom e Youkoso, but can't find this song.
The OST starts at roughly 7:20 for ep 14 when Chinatsu and Akira are arguing,
and at roughly 12:00 for ep 19 when Akira has the guy apologize. I would really appreciate if someone could find me this song.
Here is a fan-made cover of the song for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXBjv-6pcIo

I was searching for this for a while, looked through the OST, Disc 1,2: Youtube The soundtrack was released on the sixth of December 2017.
BallroomEYoukoso subreddit user "BeKley", said:

"It’s part of the Ballroom e Youkoso OST which hasn’t been released yet unfortunately.
  However, someone has made really accurate covers of these OSTs and they’ve also done the song you’ve been looking for: https://youtu.be/rXBjv-6pcIo"

I've come to the same conclusion as him, another user in the post "ImDasman" also agreed.
This was 5 months ago, it may have been released since but I doubt it.

What caused the calamity of present day class, back in April?
Later in the anime we discover that the calamity didn't start when Kouichi joined, but rather in April when Misaki, the twin sister, died from leukemia.
My question is what caused the calamity. Was it because Mei and Misaki were secretly talking to each other? Or was it because the students were confused and mixed Mei with Misaki?

It's neither.
The Calamity is the Curse on class 3-3 where someone who is supposed to be dead joins the Class and this causes members of the class and their families to be killed off until the end of the year or the Calamity is stopped prematurely.

Because of the unnatural presence of this dead person walking amongst the living, at least one student from class 3-3 or one of their family members or the teacher of the class dies each month. At the end of the school year, the Extra simply disappears, the Calamity's effects on the class' memories and physical records are reversed, and the survivors forget that the Extra was ever part of the class. The Calamity has run its course, thus marking an end to the deaths, until the next year. The reversal must not be entirely complete, since Chibiki has been able to record the Extra's name most years, after the fact.

Source: Class 3-3 > 1973 - The "Calamity" of Class 3-3 Begins (Last Paragraph)
The Calamity is the result of Class 3-3 of 1972 not accepting the death of a fellow classmate and acting as if they still were there. This invited the dead to the class and thus the class became closer to death itself. Starting from 1973, the Calamity would start on its own without anyone triggering it.
Misaki Fujioka's death therefore is the result of The Calamity and not a trigger for it, it is also a sign it started as she is a family member of Mei

[Misaki Fujioka] dies in Episode 1 from the 9th grade class 3-3 curse, being "the death of April", the first one who died because of the curse.

Source: Misaki Fujioka > Plot > Another (first paragraph)
While the various media differ in how she died (due to a kidney transplant, or due to her leukemia), they all point to her being the first death by The Calamity in 1998.

Sorry, my question wasn't clear. I was thinking about the charm, how was the charm broken before Kouichi joined? Because the calamity took it's first victim back in april, did the present class decided to put a charm after the death? Or did they put a charm at the beggining of the year, and somehow broke it?

@Teo what do you mean by Charm? you mean how Countermeasures's plan was to choose one student and pretend they didn't exist?

I think that it was never the student's fault but rather the teacher's fault because class 3-3 had the correct amount of seats that year, and the missing seat was in the faculty room.

She also points out that their class was the only one to have an Assistant Homeroom teacher and that they actually had the correct amount of seats this year and the missing seat actually being in the faculty room.

Source: https://another.fandom.com/wiki/Mei_Misaki
So, for the charm to work, it would've been the teacher who had to be ignored and not a student.

Special Volumes in One Piece
I am an avid One Piece manga collector. Recently, I came across a volume named "Volume Zoro". It got me thinking if there are other Volumes I'm missing out. The volumes I currently own:

Regular Volumes
Volume 0
Volume 1000
Volume 777
Volume 333
5 databooks
Volume Zoro

Can you provide some details about this? It is the first time i hear about it, is it some extra side story or an aggregation about zoro trivia?

@Proxy I don't have it with me as I live in the US I and had it mailed to my grandparents' place. Will post more details when I get my hands on it.

Volume Zoro is a separate (supplementary) volume attached to the May 2018 edition of Saikyo Jump comics. It's not a "stand-alone" volume. I'll post an answer if I get more details.

Was Mitsuki deceived into being friends with Boruto?
Mitsuki has subtly hinted various times in the anime that he is unsure of if his will is actually his own.

 During the Mitsuki Disappearance Arc, Mitsuki  goes to Iwagakure and even goes as far as to attack Boruto with lightning in order to verify if his feelings were created by his father Orochimaru (Boruto Episode 79). And it does make sense, considering how much of a calculating genius his father is.

To clarify this, is Mitsuki's doubts about his will a sign of emotional issues? Or did Orochimaru plan for Mitsuki to become friends with Boruto (and in a way, impose his will on Mitsuki while making Mitsuki think it was his own)?

We don't yet know if Orochimaru is the same manipulative disgusting guy or he's become good.So it's all speculation on his part.

Fundamentally, You could argue that he did, but probably not in the way the question implies. Mitsuki is a clone, so in that regards he is more or less human. His emotions are going to be derived from Orichimaru's personality, especially his younger self, and how he was raised. In that regard, Orochimaru did do the activity to make him think for himself, erasing his memory on failure. As a side effect, Mitsuki's emotions are fairly low in intensity.
Orochimaru then used the success of that activity to point Mitsuki to Boruto. With that, Mitsuki was nearly blank shell emotion wise, as shown by his general lack of strong emotions. He was only allowed to leave once he matured enough to think for himself, and then he was sent to Boruto. Most likely, that is the only real "designed" part of Mitsuki's emotions, that Orochimaru forced him to mature and then gave him a "sun" as they are so called in the Naruto universe. Mitsuki in turn becoming friendly to Boruto is his own thing.
It could be the case though that this all came about because of unseen manipulation by Orochimaru. Mitsuki is a clone, yet is also a lot more kindhearted than Orochimaru, which could mean there is some manipulation to tone down that apathetic/evil nature. It could also be though that was more Nuture than Nature, so In truth there is no full and clear answer, in the Manga, Anime, or any other source. The Anime will probably give some answer in a few episodes though, as its fairly clear Mitsuki wants to answer that very question himself before he returns to the Leaf. This is Anime only though as far as I know.
TL;DR :
There is some manipulation as shown by the experiment Orochimaru did, but that was one to teach Mitsuki to think for himself. There is also the fact that he was pointed to Boruto, but that is more priming than design. Mitsuki is mostly a clone of Orochimaru, so he is at least mostly human and has his own emotions, so it was still mostly his own choice to be friends. That leaves one unknown, if he was engineered/designed to be like he is emotionally or not, which could count, but is unknown. Regardless, Mitsuki was free to make his own decisions after he passed the test, and he chose to checkout this person whos picture he was given (Boruto). He wasn't forced, tricked, or deceived into anything beyond meeting him.

Orochimaru is a very focused (Mad scientist) student of jutsu i dont think Mitsukis' emotional growth/wellbeing  is something he ever considered let alone planned.
As far as Orochimaru careing for him goes  it's the equivalent of a farmer raising cattle

Can Amaterasu's speed increase?
In the battle against Raikage, Sasuke cast Amaterasu and Raikage avoided it pretty easily because he's fast.
In the battle against Kaguya, Sasuke cast Amaterasu and it hit her.
Question
Was it because:
- Sasuke Amaterasu speed had increased as he grew stronger so Kaguya couldn't dodge?
- Kaguya could dodge it but she simply took it because she knew it was a chakra that she could absorb?
Are there any information about this?
Note: Kaguya is faster than Raikage, right?

Short Answer: Kaguya Otsutsuki was very powerful but her speed was just slightly above average. During her battle with Sasuke and Naruto, all she mainly did was hop from dimension to dimension, use a bunch of Kekkai Moras   and absorb their attacks with her Rinnengan. Note that she is NOT faster than Raikage Ai when he uses the Lightning release chakra Mode to enhance his speed and reaction time. The only reason why Raikage could dodge it is cause he combined 2 Jutsus simultenously in order to detect and flicker away from the flames. Kaguya on the other hand, was not fast enough to dodge the flames. However, she was skilled enough to quickly absorb them before they did enough damage on her.
So to answer your question, the speed of Amaterasu was never increased, She just was not fast enough to dodge the flames like Raikage did.
Super Long explanation:
The Amaterasu is a very fast jutsu in terms of how long it takes before it is cast. Unlike other jutsu, all it requires is that you see the person you want to hit and then  Black Flames are ignited at the focal point of the target! This means that as long as the user can see you, the Amaterasu is most likely going to hit. In order to dodge an "accurately-aimed" Amaterasu, I believe the persons speed must be pretty close to that of light because the focal point of vision is directly what your eyes see from the refraction of light. (Its a completely different scenario if the user is partially blind and can't aim well.)

In the case of Raikage, he used 2 jutsu's simultaneously in order to dodge sasukes Amaterasu. The first one is the lightning release chakra mode. During his battle with Sasuke, Raikage was wraped in lightning during the entire fight and once sasuke started to use the mangekyou Sharingan, Raikage instinctively started using way more chakra for the  Lightning Release Chakra Mode in order to increase his already heightened speed and reaction time.

With enhanced speed and reaction time, Raikage was able to immediately react to sasuke's amaterasu, he then used the  ShunShin no jutsu ( Lightning release Body Flicker technique ). Since he combined the 2 jutsus perfectly, he was able to instantly react to and swiftly move away from the flames (all within a matter of seconds, simply mindblowing lol). Moreover, Kaguya could not pull such a feat.

Speed is just a vague concept while using Amaterasu.
The real answer to this is accuracy. While fighting Sasuke, Itachi missed the Amaterasu several times. Not because Sasuke was running at the speed of light, but because of his blurry vision, which could not target Sasuke properly.
It could be that Sasuke missed casting it on the Raikage because he wasn't as proficient with it as he was while fighting Kaguya. His visual prowess was also enhanced and his vision was clearer because of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan while fighting Kaguya.
So, the speed of the jutsu could increase (time taken to cast the jutsu, not reach the object) after unlocking the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

if you look at when sasuke aimed for raikage, he didn't miss the target. His aim was spot on. raikage was just way faster. The speed of amaterasu can't be increased because it doesn't take any time to cast the jutsu. As long as you can see the user and you activate the justsu then it immidiately starts burning. Plus the only difference between eternal mangekyou and normal mangekyou is that the eternal mangekyous light never runs out. The anime never talks about added abilities that come with the eternal mangekyou. Its just that its a more everlasting version of the mangekyou sharingan

That's my point.Eternal Mangekyou means clearer vision-which increases the accuracy of the jutsu.Obito,Itachi,Madara have themselves stated many times that with the Eternal Mangekyou,they have better chakra control.

Obito never stated that cause he never obtained eternal to begin with. and also can you show (cite me a source). Like a manga pic or Anime episode where that was said

This is just a vague statement like the question you asked,Anime Scientist where Kakashi "compliments" Naruto

Also,if Obito never obtained the EMS,why didn't the anime show him losing his vision?He had so many eyes to begin with,he used many of them for Izanagi(Vs Konan) and he used Kamui endlessly without any difficulty.

In Order to get an EMS Obito would have needed the mangekyou of a sibling, and Obitos family was never elaborated on in Naruto so I'm guessing  his situation was similar to Narutos. Also, I doubt he could get Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan with just one Mangekyou, I think thats because the Sharingan is a pair Dojutsu

That's not true.To awaken the Mangekyou,I agree someone close to the person,like a family member is required.But to obtain the EMS,you just need a spare pair of Sharingan.

If he did not awaken EMS,can you explain why his vision never blurred?

I guess its cause Obito already had senjuu blood or something, Cause if it were just possible to obtain EMS from a normal Mangekyou then why didn't danzou make shisuis eye an ems with the amount of sharingans that he had?

even Itachi stated while he was fighting Sasuke that he needed the mangekyou of a blood relative. You know Itachi was very smart right? why do you think he would prefer to be partially blind if he could have just easily attained the mangekyou of any of the people he killed, watch episode 134 to 139, the explanation is somewhere there

if Obito had Senju blood,he would have Rinnegan in both his eyes(Senju+Uchiha=Rinnegan).Itachi did not obtain EMS because he just did not want to.There is a question on that topic here as well.

obito had senjuu blood actually, the mere fact that he had zetsu's skin implanted into the right half of his body is proof that he had senjuu blood because white zetsu was cultivated from hashiramas cells. Also one needs ems to evolve to rinnegan, a mere sharingan or mangekyou can't evolve to rinnegan without the ems, check my answer: https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/48995/would-naruto-awaken-rinnegan-if-he-take-sharingan-from-sasuke/48997#48997

Assuming you are correct about having just Uchiha and senju bloodline to create the Rinnengan, then can you explain why Danzou sharingans did NOT all evolve to rinnengan. If that theory was 100% the truth then all the sharingans on Danzous hand and shisuis eyes would have all evolved to rinnengan when he got hasirama's cells implanted into him right?

Danzo was never an Uchiha to begin with.He had no Uchiha blood.So he couldn't unlock his Rinnegan.Also,White Zetsu was NOT CULTURED with Hashirama cells.It was the remnants of the people from the previous Infinite Tsukoyomi.Here's some evidence:https://youtu.be/8tXFWSzWcmU

http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Zetsu white zetsu is one of the remnants of Kaguyas infinite tsukinomi, after madara summoned the gedo statue, black zetsu took out white zetsu and another one, tobi. Also, the eye of an uchiha contains their DNa, and white zetsu has hashimramas cells, Senju dna and chakra

Does Yachiru ever come back?
In the Bleach anime, Yachiru disappears because she is Kenpachi's Spirit, but does she ever come back?

There's no indication she comes back as a physical being in the manga (although she is Zarakai's zanpakuto spirit so he can talk to her at any time). In Ch 685 ten years after the conclusion of the Thousand Year Blood War Kenpachi bickers with Ikkaku and Yumichika while lost on their way to the appointment of the new captain of Squad 13 where Ikkaku is referred to as second in command which was Yachiru's seat before Quincies happened. Kenpachi himself then explains that his poor sense of direction was Yachiru's fault and now that she "isn't around no more" he won't get lost anymore... he says while lost... as usual...

how to explain this.....
Yachiru is actually Kenpachi's sword Nozarashi. it is either this or she is a part of his spiritual powers. when you say that she is in Kenny's soul this is true, but he sucks at spiritual stuff, and probably couldn't talk to her if he tried

Can you end up with a different type of magic than taught?
In Fairy Tail, can you end up with a different magic than you’ve been taught?
e.g: You’re trained by a fire dragon but ends up with Ice Dragon Slayer Magic.
e.g: You’re trained by an Ice-Make wizard but ends up with Fire-Make magic.
Stuff like that. Because in Fairy Tail, I’m not sure, but does each person have its element like in Naruto? Like they only have ice as element and things like that...?

I don't think there's anything like elements, they just learn the kind of magic which they are taught.

In Fairy Tail, there are many types of magic, not just elemental or dragon slayer magic. If you read/watch the arcs dealing with the history of the world and the Fairy Tale guild, you'll see Mavis and the founders/masters of the various guilds and many others discovering, inventing or developing new magic. In the various other arcs, you'll also see things like Natsu learning transformation magic or being able to absorb lightning, not just fire. So while someone may show affinity for a certain type of magic, that doesn't mean they can't do/learn others.
(BTW even in Naruto, all they had were affinities for certain elements. They could still learn techniques/jutsu from other elements, it was just easier to learn jutsu falling under their own affinities and less of a power drain to use. Kakashi even mentioned that while most shinobi only had one or two affinities, by the time you were a jounin you should be able to use jutsu from all the elements.)
However, if you need certain types of training to perform certain types of magic, you are not likely to suddenly be able to do it without that training. Also, in the Fairy Tale world, you could only get dragon slayer magic by training under a dragon of that element or artificially (like Laxus in the beginning) from a dragon crystal.

Yes, it seems so.
Natsu wanted to be taught to use transformation magic by Mira in one episode, while he specifies on fire magic, he could manage the transformation. Acnologia for example can use any kind of magic after swallowing. August has the magic of instant cloning which allowed him to achieve many kinds of magic.
So the answer is yes, you can achieve any magical element, based on those three examples.
The only unmentioned gray zone is Slayer Magic, as - as far as the show mentions

Dragon Slayers (1st/3rd Generation) were either taught by dragons or had a dragon crystal (2nd/3rd Generation)
Devil Slayer Magic was given to Grey by his father Silver

You can teach yourself any magic element, but not "Slayer magic version" of the given element.

Why heroes are physically stronger than average humans
In the world of My Hero Academia, the human society acquired Quirks.
So basically instead of having regular humans, we have humans with abilities.
With the exception of Power-Up quirks (like one for all...etc), why do humans/heroes/villains seem physically stronger?
I mean, they can go through walls and be smashed on the ground and still stand, with minor injuries, training can't make a human sustain such things..
In One Piece for example we know the world is filled with abnormally strong humans, but that's not the case in My Hero Academia, is it??
Bakugo standing up after Deku's power-up punch, even with 8% it can make holes in walls, why didn't it kill bakugo?

8% was the maximum Deku could safely use at the time but that doesn't mean he hit Bakugo with that much power, even before Full Cowling he subconsciously limited the power he was using to not blow holes in people he hit.

you're focusing on the wrong part of the question. The people in this world are still normal. No one can sustain a hit not even 1%. Endeavor cannot go through a building and survive.. just because his body can generate fire..

I was addressing a particular point rather than providing an answer which is why it's a comment

In a lot of anime, humans just have more durability than real-life humans. It's just a common trope. For example, One Punch Man, Saitama was repeatedly beaten down by Crablante before gaining any powers and survived. In JoJo Battle Tendency, Mark gets half of his head sheared off and is still able to talk for a while after. It's just a common thing in many anime that humans have higher-tier durability than their real life counterparts. I wouldn't pay much attention to this.

Humans have the ability to physically train themselves to do things beyond their normal capacity.
Anime, shounen anime in particular, is known for over-exaggerating this well beyond what is possible in reality. In just about any shounen anime, a completely normal person can physically train themselves to the point where they can throw cars, survive a car being thrown at them, and other similar things that are well beyond what even a pheomenally trained human is capable of.
In the MHA world, heroes undergo intense physical training to be able to perform these feats. As such, they are capable of what you describe.

Can pseudo-legendary Pokémon mega evolve?
Ash recently caught Dragonite which is a pseudo-legendary Pokémon. We have not seen any pseudo-legendary Pokémon mega evolution until now. so Can pseudo-legendary Pokémon mega evolve?

Are you asking for anime appearances of these mega evolutions? Because the wiki clearly lists which of them have Mega evolutions

@TheGamer007  I will look for a reliable source and reference that is fine.

it is fan-made not reliable. https://pokemon.fandom.com/wiki/Mega_Evolution

Four of the Pokemon that fall under the unofficial category of pseudo-legendary can mega evolve, one of which Ash would have if the dingus would just evolve it, those four being: Tyrantitar, Metagross, Salamence and Garchomp.

What is the technical name for the short exaggerated anime scenes?
You know, those scenes that typically cut to out of context OTT animations to exaggerate reactions? e.g. when a character is angry the whole screen might be taken over by swirling colours, angry eyes and shouty mouth. There must be a technical name for these scenes amongst animators and storyboarders. What is the term for it?

The term this goes by is Exaggerated emotional iconography or even Manga iconography, which is one of anime's trademark tropes. This is due to anime often being an adaption from manga, where it is harder to convey emotion without the use of screen tones, backgrounds, or some form of over exaggeration.
These effects often find their way into Animes, and is more often referred to under a more catch-all term: Manga effects.
Manga effects is a pretty broad term in this sense, which is in part due to all artists having their own way to convey emotions in their source work. Hence the effects falling under this category can range anywhere from
 Bishie sparkle to face faults and so on.

Why can Genya eat demons?
In the manga it's shown that Genya can eat demons and,

 gain their powers, like regeneration

Why can Genya can eat demons? Is this ever explained?

At the moment (10-10-2019) there is not explication in the manga, he just can. Like some other powers in the blood on others pjs.

According to the source manga, Genya has a special ability that allows him to eat demons. He has immense bite strength and a special digestive organs which allows him to tear through the demons. This ability allows him to overcome his other shortcomings such as the inability to perform the breathing styles. Some speculate that it is a result of an experimental procedure that Genya underwent in the Final Selection. Also by consuming demons, Genya can mimic the appearance as well as some of the powers of that specific demons.

When does episode 9 of one punch man air?
It's currently 9:31 am 6/03/19, and the website yourcountdown.to says one punch man season 2 episode 9 is out now. Yet every other website says something around one more day and 18 hours.
I cant seem to find it anywhere on the place i usually watch it. Is the country release date different for the US?

According to
LiveChart.Me and opm_anime

Today's broadcast of One Punch Man has been cancelled due to the French Open. Episode #21 will air next week on June 11t
「全仏OPテニス2019」編成により、本日予定していた「ワンパンマン」# 21「最強の悩み」放送配信は休止となりました。次回の放送予定は6/11（火）25:35～です。申し訳ございませんがご了承ください。錦織圭選手×ナダル選手を応援しましょう！ #onepunchman

I've been following one punch man season 2 since it was released and the usual time has always been on Wednesdays in the afternoon US, NY(GMT-4). Firstly, the main website I use is the Episode calendar for shows and anime in the US and it shows the 5th of June.
I'm pretty sure you won't be able to find any american websites that have episode 9 till the 5th of June and if your lucky enough to find any, it would be RAW without any subtitles.
The release date for people in the US and english speaking countries is always a bit longer because of the time taken to sub the shows.

Just like pablo said, this weeks episode has been postponed till next week. Guess we gotta wait another week to see saitama vs bakuzan. Although we can all pretty much guess how it'll turn out lol.

It was delayed by a week. 6/11/2019 and to the guy who said most American sites don't play till the 5th lol. It comes out soon as it's done airing

Welcome to A&M, do you have a source for the week delay? Besides that, as we do not condone piracy, I have removed the mentions towards illegal providers.

If Eren Jaeger dies without transfering his titan powers, will both powers transfer to the same child?
It's told in the story that if a titan shifter dies without transferring his power, this power will go to an eldian person who just was born. If Eren Jaeger dies without transferring his titan powers, will the attack titan and the founding titan go to different persons?
Note that his is not a duplicate of What happens to a titan shifter if they die without being eaten as this is not about what happens when a titan shifter dies. But what happens if a titan shifter with 2 powers dies, which is not answered in the answer.

Notice Eren's use of words (singular, not plural) in the quoted chapter in the link above and the explicit mention of one of the titan's power being inherited by a baby, which I think, fully answers this question.

I don't think this question is a duplicate at all . The question linked asks what happen to a regular Titan shifter is he dies without being eaten. This question asks what happens to a Titan shifter who has 2 titan powers inside him, and how those 2 powers will be transfered. Will they go to the same born person? Will they go to 2 persons?

ATM, the manga has not addressed the issue. My personal guess is one child inherits all. But it is questionable where the knowledge with death and transference comes from at all.

I think Yes.  According to the manga, if the host of the titan body dies, their power goes to the newly born child.
And since Eren has now acquired more than one titan's powers, then if Eren dies, then each of his powers will go to separate newly born children.
Here is a fandom theory if you would like to read... that can answer much of your questionsfandom theory

Appears in the anime called Shingeki no Kyojin in season 3 part 2 episode 10, from 21:52 until the episode ends, it's the last episode of the season

The song you are referring to is T-KT, the 2nd song on the "Attack on Titan" Season 3 Original Soundtrack disc 2, composed by Hiroyuki Sawano.

Thanks, I was looking for this one. This is the only thread I could find mentioning it.

If you're talking about AOT's episode 59 seasonal ending song (right before "to the other side of the wall"), it says in the credits that the song is "Name of Love" by Cinema Staff.
