Why was Goku the only Z Warrior to contract the Heart Virus?
In Trunks' future that had been destroyed by the Androids, Goku died from a Heart Virus.
Even in the alternate timeline caused by Trunks warning the Z Warriors about the Androids, Goku still contracted the Heart Virus but they already had a cure for it given by Trunks. Yet in both timelines out of all the Z Warriors Goku was the only person to contract it.
Why is this? Was it a targeted attack on him by Dr. Gero (given the timing of when it occurred)? Was Goku's diet a factor or was there something Saiyan wise that made him more susceptible which doesn't apply to Vegeta and half-Saiyans?

IIRC though Goku was the only Z warrior affected, plenty of other people also succumbed to this virus according to F-Trunks. A cure was developed soon afterwards but it was too late for Goku. Gero created androids for the sole purpose of defeating Goku, so him giving the virus seems to serve no purpose.

@Arcane i do recall about the other cases but none of those were the Z Warriors which is why i asked out of all the Z Warriors why it was only Goku, i'm no microbiologist but i would think that if Goku contracted a Virus there's an equal chance the other Z Warriors would get it and if it was a matter of their trained bodies resisting the virus Goku's is just as trained if not more so. i didn't recall that the Androids were created specifically to defeat Goku so i thought they were created to further the RRA's goal in World Domination (before 17 and 18 decided to disobey and destroy the world)

Because Goku is the main character. It'd be much more interesting to have him contract the virus than sidekicks such as Krillin.

Well the best explanation is random factor in this case. Future trunks also told that the virus infected other people as well so its doubtful that anyone made that virus to kill goku. Why it did not target others is because they had a better immune system so it managed to stop the virus. I think there is not much to say about it besides this

Basically what Proxy and Ayase said. Some people were affected by the virus. Lets say 1 in 100. In the named DBZ characters unfortunately it was the MC Goku. But Plot Armor demands that people change time to save him! And then the story continued.

It is Highly likely that the infection rate of the virus was just exceptionally low. Infection rates vary from virus to virus. Some can only be transmitted in highly populated areas due to their low contraction rate.

It's not clearly stated, but there are a few things we can draw inferences from.
When Goku succumbs to the effects of the virus in the battle with Androids 19 and 20 and Vegeta arrives to save the day, he criticizes Goku for his recklessness, and specifically states that his use of the Super Saiyan form accelerated his susceptibility.  We are told many times, especially during the Android/Cell saga (and beyond), that the Super Saiyan form is tiring and exhausting, and requires a great deal of energy be used to activate.  So much so that Goku and Gohan dedicate their training for fighting Cell to figuring out how to sustain the form indefinitely, endure it better, and save on the activation energy.  A training strategy that Vegeta is loathe to admit is really quite clever.
The Z-fighters in general are in premium shape and would be most resistant to viral infections (relative to the rest of the global population) by default.  But elevated levels of stress and exhaustion bring down the efficacy of the immune system.
So what we can infer from this is that the other Z-fighters had strong enough immune systems to fight it off, but Goku's failed when the virus opportunistically exploited the downsides of the Super Saiyan form.  Vegeta is the only other fighter (not exactly a Z-fighter) we know that used a similarly, if not even more, exhausting training regimen and combat form.  But he spent a great deal of his training time in outer space punching rocks, so may have simply avoided transmission from Goku or others by practicing the ultimate in social distancing.
There's also the simple fact that Goku is a Saiyan and not a Human, like the rest of the Z-fighters. The particulars of his immune system may alter his susceptibility (that it could infect two different species, Saiyan and Human, is a bit surprising and may have taken time to mutate to transfer from one to the other).  Vegeta is, again, spared by social distancing.  And Goku's family is, presumably, spared by being human or half-human.  Piccolo is presumably spared by being Namekian and having inherited Eternal Youth from his father, and just generally spending most of his time meditating on rocky spires in the middle of nowhere.
Finally, most of the Z-fighters don't actually spend that much time together.  They usually train on their own or with a fixed partner, and come together only to deal with new threats or special occasions (such as celebrating victory over such a threat).  Goku's only real training partners are Gohan, Piccolo, and Krillin, most of which is either done on Roshi's Island or in a wilderness devoid of other people; Goku and his family themselves live in the middle of nowhere.  Tien and Chiaotzu train together but separately from the others and in general isolation; Yamcha is a lone wolf who started as a desert bandit afraid of nothing but talking to women; Yajirobi hides with Korin, etc.  So most of them aren't even exposed all that often to each other, or even other humans.  This is particularly true in the time-skip to the arrival of the androids, as everyone went off to train in their own ways (if at all).
So, again, social distancing seems likely to have protected everyone, with Goku being the one unfortunate soul for which it didn't work out. Probably by random bad luck, as it's not a 100% surefire protection, but also possibly because Chi-Chi actually makes him go out and do stuff in public like getting a job, thus elevating his exposure. Whereas Krillin doesn't yet have a family or known job at this point, and Vegeta mostly just trains and doesn't even spend much time with his own family yet.

Well one theory I was told from a friend many years ago was that the virus was always in Goku it just took years to affect Goku.

How did Akemi knew that Shiho will visit that house and find the cassettes?
In Detective Conan episodes 340-341, case titled "Hidden Bathroom Secret", Miyano Akemi visits the house (which was lent by her father to her father's friend) and hides the cassette tapes (from her mother to her sister, Shiho) in the toilet sink.
I am curious how Akemi knew that in future Shiho will come to that house and find those cassettes?

Was Swordfish Knight a reincarnation of Anima?
It's been a long time since I read this manga.
But I recall some discussion and speculation that Swordfish Knight was Anima reincarnated.
I vaguely think I recall that Swordfish Knight was very knowledgeable and had been around for a while.
But is there any evidence that would cinch the possibility that Swordfish Knight was Anima reincarnated? To begin with my understanding of the reincarnation cycle is pretty non-existant.
Additional evidence for this appears to come from the ending of Spirit circle in a reference to an esper.

Why is All Might freaked out in the big villian fight scene?
I'm asking about the manga
All Might learns from the villain who has stolen hundreds - thousands of quirks to become what he is that Izuku is somehow related to the previous All Might. Why is that so soul crushing to him?

I reread the manga chapter, It says that its Tomura Shigaraki is the grandson of the previous All Might, not Izuku. Says so in chapter 95. Did i miss something?

@Ryan I think they're related somehow...

Why wouldn't it be? The bad guy just explained that he has robbed a ton of people from their quirks (quite possibly killing them in the process) and now when All Might himself is at his weakest, and Midoriya has still not mastered his gifted quirk, the danger is tremendous. Either of them or even both could be attacked and their quirk stolen, which would definitely be extremely bad.

all for one was captured and is imprisoned last i checked, he cant steal their quirk.

umm if you're talking about manga, then I'm afraid I've only seen the anime and that might not go as far as you know (or the OP asks about)

@Ryan you're right. All for one was TAUNTING him with this "secret" info. Even if true that they're related some way, why is it a problem?

the anime must have caught up to the manga then. He told all might about that relationship during their meeting, and that was only a few chapters ago.  Also, Wiki notes One for all can not be stolen due to how it works.

@Ryan so even if the powers can't be stolen, it still endangers Midori and that was the last thing he wanted

@JesseCohoon How is he in any more danger? The biggest and strongest villain was captured, and the villains are getting a lot weaker as time goes on as it stands.

Why madara did not change after 1 and 8 tails was extracted from him?
Obito extracted Shukaku and eight tails from Madara and gave it to Naruto. Then why did madara not return back to normal?
Why was he still able to cast infinite tsukoyomi?

Shukaku is Ichibi (1 Tail). Please verify whether you mean 1 tail or the 2 tails Matatabi.

@AyaseEri Done. But that's not important.

@AyaseEri any answer???

Patience, young padawan.

From the Wiki,

Obito stabs Madara and manages to steal fragments of the One-Tail's and Eight-Tails' chakra from him before using Kamui to escape with Naruto.

Obito only took a small fragment, not the entire beast.

How could Hiramekarei defeat Samehada?
Refer to episode 31, boruto.
Hiramekarei stores chakra and then release it in shapes.
Why then, Samehada don't just absorb all that chakra? How could it defeat Samehada at all?

Have the 7 swords been ranked based on the power ever? I thought it always would depend on the wielder

Which episode or chapter does this question comes from?

@絢瀬絵里 Boruto ep 31

There is no "specific power ranking" for the seven legendary swords, and as stated in the comments, a weapon is only as powerful as its wielder. Choujiro proved this when he defeated one of "new generation -seven legendary swordsmen" with a normal sword.
Apart from the fact that it was Shizumas first time attempting to use Samehada, it is important to note that

Samhehada is the only living weapon among the seven legendary swords, and as such, it has its own consciousness and personality. Therefore its actions can affect the tide of battle. Samehada was already absorbing all their chakra using the "bloody mist absorption technique" but that only made it want more chakra.

Samehada is actually a greedy Glutton, that loves chakra more than anything else, and it takes a large amount of will power and experience to tame it. Unfortunately for Shizuma, he could not control Samehada and so it took over his body and started going on a rampage. At that point, Shizuma was not thinking straight and he was also at a disadvantage going against two "Jonin level" kids.
The loss was not because Hiramekarei is stronger or weaker but merely due to the circumstances in which the battle took place.

It all depends on the wielder. A true strength of any weapon always does.
If Boruto and Kagura had fought Kisame instead of Shizuma, they would have definitely lost.
Kisame brought out the true power of the sword that is why any chakra based attacks was useless on him and Gai needed to open the seventh gate to defeat him.
Shizuma had just got the sword and could hardly bring out it's true power.On the other hand Kagura had a better understanding because he had been training with the sword for a while now. So he brought a little bit of it's true power. Which is the reason why Shizuma lost.
The winner hear was not Hiramekarei it was Kagura and Boruto

Who says Hiramekarei has to defeat Samehada?
The question is similar to asking how can Fire defeat Water? It cannot (under normal circumstances). Fire has an advantage against other elements which are in turn stronger than water. Similarly, Hiramekarei could be stronger than other swords, which in turn could be stronger than Samehada.

Does Naruto has double power than Sasuke after ep 477?
Before final fight with Sasuke, Naruto had half of Kurama (Yin). The two friends were equally powerful.
After the fight, Naruto received the other half (Yang), as given in manga.
Does this mean Naruto's powers doubled, making him stronger than Sasuke?

Not necessarily. We could say that this does increase Naruto's powers drastically in comparison to Sasuke, but there are a few things to consider:
The second half of Kurama only increases chakra
The important thing here is that by getting the other half of Kurama, Kurama doesn't necessarily become a stronger tailed beast, he merely gains more chakra. This is, of course, very drastic, but it does not allow Naruto to fight any better with Kurama. He can still use the same abilities, and infuse the same amount of chakra into them, he just has more stamina now.
Naruto already has massive amounts of chakra
Naruto is an Uzumaki, which is a clan famous for their large chakra reserves. On top of that, Naruto already had the first half of Kurama which gives him an overwhelmingly large amount of chakra right off the bat. The addition of the second half of Kurama will increase by a lot, but not in comparison anymore. It's like trying to make an already blue flame even hotter. Maybe you can, but by comparison, the difference is minute since it was already so hot to begin with.
Naruto pools his power from sources other than Kurama too
This is pretty simple. Naruto's power never came fully from Kurama to begin with. While we could say a good deal does, he still had and has various other abilities that make him an extremely strong shinobi.
Naruto and Sasuke were not "equal" at their final fight
In fact, Naruto was being severely hindered by two things. The first being that he had been fighting in this war for much longer than Sasuke, and was much more tired out. The second thing is that Naruto was unwilling to fight to his fullest (especially in the beginning) for fear of killing Sasuke, whereas Sasuke did not hold back. So even if the second half of Kurama did make Naruto twice as strong as before, it would not make him exactly twice as strong as Sasuke as they were never on equal ground to begin with.
Where are their power levels at now?
The simple answer to this is we don't and can't know. We can merely speculate. As we see in the Scarlet Spring, we know that Naruto's combat instincts have dulled whereas Sasuke's could have only sharpened. This means that the two have probably leveled out

How did Mello know how to help Near in Death Note?
In the end of Death Note, Near would've been lost if Mello didn't help him. That makes me think why Near who is always be careful (isn't like L or Mello) didn't find out about the possibility of fake death note, meanwhile Mello had found out about that.
For Mello, after he found out that Kira helped Japan Police, he would found out that Kira was there being watched by others. In order to keep killing people, he would need X-Kira (Mikami) to do the killings and a spokeperson (Takada) to help him communicate with him. Until then, Mello's and Near's thinking were the same: find the x-kira (Mello investigated Misa too). Mello could easily assume that Near had found the x-kira and been stalking him.
What makes it weird is Mello thought that this person who was being investigated by Near was using fake death note, and assumed that Near wouldn't ever found out about this unless he kidnapped Takada.
So, would Near have never found out about the possibility of fake Death Note without Mello sacrificing himself? If it was really that hard to find out, how could Mello know? Doesn't it sound like Near would get easily be tricked by Light, while Mello outsmarted the two of them?

N and Kila played a game of chess and are progressing to the end game. At this point, both of them belive that they have ever single move concidered and planned. Now M hears N's entire plan (I belive while droping by getting the picture) and "sees the board" as N has planed his checkmate. Everything that N planned is now given for M, M can analyse that single position and finds the trick that (M and) Kira would play. M didn't know that Kira had that plan but M knew that this was a weak spot at N's plan. N was sure that he outsmarted Kira and M considered how Kira might have outsmarted N.

I remember that Halle Lidner, SPK member, always kept in touch with Mello, keeping him up-to-date with Near's latest theories concerning Kira case. It's possible that he also knew about Near's plan and his appointment with Kira.
However, Mello, with Matt, decided to kidnap Takada that made the real Death Note location revealed.
Before that, Mello's movements are unknown since the story focus on Takada and Mikami investigation. His reason to kidnap Takada is also unknown whether because he realized the possibility of fake Death Note or other reason.
But in the end, Near acknowledged Mello that he wouldn't have won without his sacrifice.

We can probably assume that this was not how Mello intended this kidnapping to go, if we look at his reaction to the death of Matt.
He would not have known about the slip of Death Note hidden in Takada's bra, and, presumably, thought both himself and Matt relatively safe.
With information being fed to him via Halle, he would probably have reached similar conclusions to Near and realised something drastic needed to be done to reveal the location of the real Death Note. Knowing Nears team were watching, he would hope to would flush it out and get the information back via Halle.

It's also worth noting that, whilst Near was still operating (mainly) inside the law, Mello had much more freedom (and, personallity wise, is generally more likely to) to attempt these drastic moves that Near could not. Whether Near would be counting on or hoping for something like this, we can only speculate upon.

sequoiad So it's possible that Near also thought about the possibility of fake death note but didn't take any action for that yet and then Mello stepped forward helping him?

@sequoiad Oh and my personal thought is Near didn't realized that since Mikami was so convincing, while Mello after knowing what Near's plan was, maybe thought about the possibility of fake death note and kidnap Takada as what the least he could do for Near

it's possible, certainly. Mello could also have been attempting to push forwards his own investigation in a way that Near would not (I can't imagine Near ever using a similar method) as well, but it's all speculation as to whether he did it to help Near on purpose or not. I'm also wondering whether Near already might have had a plan ready (when he set the date for the warehouse meeting) to confirm and locate the fake and real Note, which he never needed to enact due to Mello's sudden and unpredictable action.

The main point here are the differences between N, M and L. L was able to stay mostly calme while solving a case and had the ability to assume information wrong to not come into his own way. N is absolutely apathic, calm and logicly thinking. He can solve every "fair riddle" but lacks the ability to question the scope or to empathize with others (e.g. his "opponent"). M is the exact oposite, he is quick tempered but he is able to think like his opponent and he both cheats and plays assuming the other one cheats. He knew - like N - that Kira was aware of the investigations but unlike N he theorized that Kira would set a trap like he did. After he herad of N's plan and that "Kira to be prooven" accepted, he assumed a trick-in-trick and started the kidnap to ensure that the right DN is used by X-Kira and that N would take notice of it.
That's the anser: N solves a case like a puzzle, assuming that he just have to find every pice an it's place. M would allways assume that there are pices missing or extra or faked.

That's because Lidner told Mello's plan and what made it weird was how Mello could find out there was a fake death note prepared by Mikami and thought to trap nearby? in my opinion because x guess (mikami) succeeded in knowing by near and near was increasingly focused on investigating mikami and light knowing near was investigating mikami light knowing near a genius then light planned a fake death note trap prepared by mikami to trap near from a month ago, now Mello could find out there was a fake death note because Mello thought the light smart person would definitely use the trap given to near just as Mello faced with Japanese police forces Light set a trap against Mello from there Mello had a thought that Light would put it trap to near so that mello thought there was a fake death note, now that I observed from all the comments of death note fans why did Mello sacrifice herself for near? all fans don't know it yet so I spill my knowledge here
because mello always said he wanted to be number one in the world because he sacrificed himself so that death note fans think that if mello doesn't sacrifice himself then near will die meaning that mello is superior to near mello smarter than near even though near is the successor of L That's impossible because Mello has sacrificed herself only, Mello did it only to guide .

Please include relevant sources/references.

Who was the first young character in anime to appear with white hair?
By now the trope mystical white hair is used by everyone and their cat,  we have loads of characters who appear young yet have white / silver hair, either because they were born that way / used magic or other powers / had a traumatic experience etc.
Which was the first anime that had a young character with white hair?

Originally, anime and manga tended to have black, dark brown, and redhead hair color. Often it was stylized in the manga pages and illustrations, so many characters might've had white hair then. Although it was'nt really canon design. Then the whole "colorful hair\eyes, sometimes crazy hairstyles" thing became more common as actual canon design in both anime and manga, and thus white hair started appearing alongside blue, green, purple, violet, fuchsia, pink, bright red, grey, teal, cyan, bright yellow, bright orange...
So it might've easily been more than one character at the same time.

After Madara stole Kakashi's sharingan, was it not possible for Naruto to take Obito's left eye and give it to Kakashi?
Naruto had the power to regrow body parts of any individual as we saw with Kakashi. Heck, he restored Guy who was on the brink of death. Therefore, was it not possible for Naruto to take Obito's left eye, transplant it to Kakashi and then just restore Obito's lost eye? It would have been the perfect scenario with Kakashi having a new sharingan and Obito having his both eyes and being able to access the full power of Sharingan.

Related and Related

The Sharingan and Mangekyou Sharingan are caused by a special kind of ocular chakra originating in an Uchiha's brain. Usually, a cause of powerful emotion will awaken the Sharingan, and great loss will evolve it into the Mangekyou. Once unlocked, activating them is fairly easy. They can be transplanted, and even retain their abilities. Though it may have been an exception due to its spacetime powers, Kakashi's case showed it could even evolve to the Mangekyou despite not being in an Uchiha. Kakashi could activate and deactivate the Mangekyou form. However, he could never deactivate the Sharingan, and hence had to cover up his Sharingan eye when not in use to preserve chakra.
Next, after Obitos's death, he used his space time powers to transfer his chakra to Kakashi. By doing so, he also transfered his ocular chakra, which temporarily awakened Obito's Mangekyou in Kakashi. Once that Chakra was used up and the Sharingan released, it was gone for good.
Lastly, there is one who went through a very similar situation, Madara. As pointed out, Madara at one time had Obito's Mangekyou and his own Rinnegan. By having a 2nd eye, despite having unlocked the Rinnegan, did not evolve it into a Rinnegan. He even transplanted regular Sharingan before his death, but they did not evolve into Rinnegan either, despite up to several years between him giving his Rinnegan to Nagato, transplanting the spare Sharingan and dying.
Now, of course those were not Madara's real eyes, but the fact that he had the ocular chakra required to awaken even the Rinnegan, but couldn't do so with a Sharingan and a Mangekyou eye says a lot.
With all that established, We have a decent amount of evidence backing up what would happen if Naruto grew a new eye for Obito. Most likely, what would happen is the new eye would be a normal Uchiha eye, which is almost identical to any other regular eye. It would have the potential to unlock the Sharingan and Mangekyou Sharingan, and Obito could probably more easily unlock them than normal, but its impossible to say if it would happen immediately, take months to do so, or anywhere in between.
So, transplanting Obito's left eye into Kakashi, and then having Naruto regrow Obitos eye would likely be able to create 2 eyes with Obito's Mangekyou powers, given an unknown amount of time before he could reawaken his powers.
That however shows the main reason why they didn't do so, besides the situation preventing them from thinking about it. They couldn't risk it not working instantly. Obito was under Zetsus control until Kaguya showed up, and they needed everything they had to just barely pull off that victory. Obito having his left eye's powers is what both got Sasuke out of the dimension Kaguya threw him into alone, and saved Kakashi from her All-Killing Ash Bones. The odds that his new left eye being fully awakened to Mangekyou within the few minutes before it was needed are slim to none. Then after it was used twice in critical circumstances, he turned to ash.

Why Gowasu didn't foresee that Zamasu will turn rogue?
If Gowasu can really travel to future at any point of time, why didn't he foresee Zamasu turning rogue in the first place?. He could have foreseen this even at the time of choosing Zamasu as his apprentice?

Just because you can does not mean you should, and just because he was in the future does not mean he will discover everything. As well, I wonder if which ring you wear determines what future you go to, Since Future Trunks time line is different Than the main timeline, and its the Future Trunks timeline that he goes to.

@Ryan From the point of view of the gods, the Future-Trunks timeline is the primary branch. The silver time ring corresponds to this branch. Gowasu explained that whenever an alternate timeline is created, a new green time ring appears, and that the four alternate timelines are due to "some idiot mortal fooling around with time-travel".

NOTE: My answer is now complete. Thank you for your patience while I edit.
To answer your question, there are a lot of context clues given through the dialogue in each episode. I will point these out then list my answer below.
What we know
Firstly
When Beerus found out that Bulma built a time machine, he mentioned that time travel or tampering with the future is highly forbidden even for gods, and that he should destroy her right now for committing such a great offense.
This proves that gods have knowledge of time travel and have rules in-place for protecting continuity of the timeline. Also, he never scolds Whis for using time manipulation twice (once against Freeza and once to save Gowasu in the present), also proving that angels do not follow the same protocol as gods and humans.
Secondly
Gowasu takes Zamasu to a distant planet to observe a human-like species in development. He scolds him for killing a human once they went a few thousand years into the future because Zamasu committed an action that could have changed how that entire species would develop.
This proves that gods are forbidden to travel unless certain circumstances arise, but are also expressly forbidden from interacting with things in the future or past.
Lastly
Zamasu and Black both state in the battle with Trunks (the specific battle was the one where he transformed into a hybrid of SSB and SS2) that it is because of Trunks's actions during the Cell/Android saga of jumping back and forth through time that really helped them come to the conclusion that humans need to be destroyed.
My Answer
With those 3 key pieces of evidence, it is very apparent that gods can time travel and they can do so at will, but they MUST exercise a great deal of discretion and restraint when doing so and should only do it under certain circumstances.
Gowasu could have looked into the future to predict his death, betrayal and all of that, but if he did he would have arbitrarily taken actions to protect himself and changed the timeline which was forbidden. Now maybe he knew that and maybe he didn't.
However, Gowasu has stated that the role of a Kai (God) is to observe. So I highly doubt he would ever look into the future. His whole reason for even using the time ring the one time that he did was to prove a point to his student.
So in short, yes, Gowasu could have gone ahead and prevented Black's existence. But if he did, it would do 3 things:

Contradict his character
Ruin Black's existence
Make the current story arc (which I find very entertaining) disappear entirely.

+1, it is highly likely that Gowasu only went into the future once in a very long time, and that was with Zamasu which we saw. He probably would not risk breaking the rules by going into the future to learn about His and Zamasus future, believing instead that Zamasu was just being a rebellious teenager, and one day would become like him. Though he may have known and been pretending, It did seem like everyone was fooled and believed Present Zamasu was not evil until shortly before he killed Gowasu (and Whis reversed it)

@Ryan thank you for your comment. Though this is my own speculation I suspect it was the sparring match with Goku that pushed him over the edge. First he was disgusted with humanlike creatures. After his battle with Goku he became afraid and angry.

It probably will fully end up being speculation and not fully explained, but it was confirmed that Black was Zamasu who took Goku's body, which I believe he said happened because he fought Goku. This is Anime only though, since it looks like the Manga might take a slightly different path since it was Kibito instead of Goku who Zamasu spared with when he was introduced. Though Goku may still spar with him later.

Any more HxH stories or episodes out there?
I've watched all 148 episodes of the Hunter x Hunter anime, and even the movie "The Last Mission." Now I want to know if there is anything else to watch? Are there any more movies, or maybe some new episodes coming out?

You missed a movie Hunter x Hunter Movie: Phantom Rouge. New manga is coming out every week. Read those that are released in 2016.

You can watch the 1999 series if you want the old-school feels ;). Some of the voice actors are different tho ><

If you want to know the progress of Hunter x Hunter I suggest you visit here. Just bookmark it and forget about it. Eventually, whenever you want to know if there's something new, just go back to it. New episodes could very well happen, but in order for that to happen, we need to see more chapters of the manga released. At the rate the author is going, it may take a few more years.

The 2011 series covers roughly chapters 1 to 339 of the manga, as documented in this answer by Frosteeze.
Since then, 21 new chapters have been released (as of september 2016, see here or here).
Update: As The Pickle Tickler mentions, "it has been announced that the manga is getting a continuation in 2016, as stated here."
In addition to "The Last Mission", another anime film was released in 2013, "Phantom Rouge".

Other than that, you have the original 1999 series, a set of 30 OVA episodes, and a 1998 short film, "Jump Super Anime Tour 98". None of them include material not covered by the 2011 series, as far as I know.

I think you should also mention that even though new chapters were released between April and June 2016, it has since gone back on Hiatus.

What sparked the trend of slightly long dark-haired loner-ish protagonists in light novels?
For example, Issei in Highschool DxD isn't really the most popular guy, without many other friends who are guys. Basara of Shinmai isn't shown with a lot of his friends either. Oregairu's protagonist is the most lonesome protagonist ever. Kirito of SAO does not have a social life outside of video games. I'm sure you guys could think of some more examples.
Why does Japan's light novel industry think the most relatable character is a social outcast? It's kind of a harsh commentary on their target audience, if so, although possibly not completely wrong.

Kirito is hardly a "social outcast". Anyway, do you have reason to believe that there is any particular thing or set of things that "sparked" this trend? (As opposed to this being an organic evolution of the medium over time, I mean.)

Let's analyze this using protagonist of some Japanese light novels. Let's start with those you mentioned in the question. I'm excluding Basara of Shinmai since I don't watch the anime nor read the LN. I don't know him enough to talk about him. Also to be noted that I only write based on LNs that I have read, and I write their names using the natural writing order, not the Englished version.
Let me say beforehand, loner is not the same as social outcast.

Even at the start of the LN, Hyoudo Issei was depicted not as a loner. He has 2 close friends, Matsuda and Motohama, who are both as perverted as he is.
Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy ga Machigatteiru (Oregairu) - Hachigaya Hachiman
He started the story as a loner. But, it was later revealed that he actually have 1 close (enough) friend, Zaimokuza Yoshiteru.
Sword Art Online - Kirigaya Kazuto (Kirito)
At the start of the LN, no friends of Kirito was mentioned. The story started with Kirito login in into the game, Sword Art Online where he met Klein and then was trapped along with other 6,000 players in a death game.
Oda Nobuna no Yabou - Sagara Yoshiharu
No friend of him was mentioned since he was sent into the other world mysteriously. But in the other world, he quickly befriends old man Tokichiro. He also befriends other characters as the story progress on.
Tokyo Ravens - Tsuchimikado Harutora
Harutora has a childhood friend who is also his cousin, Tsuchimikado Natsumi. He was also childhood friends with Kurahashi Kyouko, a distance relative. At the start of the story he was friends with Hokuto and Ato Touji.
Infinite Stratos - Orimura Ichika
No friends prior to him attending IS Academy was mentioned at the start of the story. However, it was later revealed that he actually has one close friend, Gotanda Dan. He also gets along with Dan's little sister, Gotanda Ran. He is also friends with Huang Lingyin and Shinonono Houki prior to the start of the story.
Date a Live - Itsuka Shidou
Itsuka Shido has one close friend, Tonomachi Hiroto.
Madan no Ou to Vanadis - Tigrevurmud Vorn
The only known friend of Tigre prior to the start of the story is his childhood friend and maid, Titta.
Rokka no Yuusha - Adlet Mayer
Adlet has no friends prior to the start of the story.
Boku ha Tomodachi ga Sukunai (Haganai) - Hasegawa Kodaka
Kodaka has 1 close friend prior to the start of the story, Taka.

Loner
Okay, I think this much is enough for examples. Let's start analyzing them. Of the ten examples I give there,

2 person starts the story with 3 friends, Orimura Ichika, and Tsuchimikado Harutora.
1 person starts the story with 2 friends, Hyoudo Issei.
4 person starts the story with 1 friends, Hachigaya Hachiman, Itsuka Shidou, Tigrevurmud Vorn, and Hasegawa Kodaka
3 person starts the story with 0 friends, Kirito, Sagara Yoshiharu, and Adlet Mayer.

I count Tsuchimikado Harutora as a person with 3 friends (Tsuchimikado Natsumi, Ato Touji, and Hokuto) as Kurahashi Kyouko was no longer his friend at the start of the story since he forget about her.
Merriam Webster defined loner as a person who is often alone or who likes to be alone. Dictionary.com defined it as a person who is or prefers to be alone, especially one who avoids the company of others. Wikipedia defined it as a person who avoids or does not actively seek human interaction.
The only one who really fit the definitions above is Hachigaya Hachiman. The other doesn't avoid company of others.
If we go with Merrriam Webster's first part of the definition, then Adlet, Kirito, and Kodaka also can be called loner. However, there are circumstances behind their lonerism.
Adlet was training in a secluded area where there are only him and his master. It was shown in the story that Adlet doesn't avoid social interactions.
Kirito's school friends was not depicted in the story because they have no relevance to the story. Kirito later was alone

 since he took the blame after the boss killed some of the front liners and was called Beater. he did this to protect the other Beta Testers.

There is a circumstance behind him being alone.
Kodaka doesn't avoid company of others, in fact he longed for the company of others. It's just that his hair color makes him mistaken as being a yankee.
Orimura Ichika, Hyoudo Issei, Itsuka Shidou, and Tigrevurmud Vorn can't be called loner since they clearly have friends and they also doesn't avoid social interactions. While Sagara Yoshiharu doesn't start with friends, his behavior doesn't suggest that he is a loner.
Out of the 10 examples, only 1 was a true loner, that is 10%.
Social Outcast
Does them being a loner also means that they are outcast? Merriam Webster defined outcast as someone who is not accepted by other people. Dictionary.com defined it as a person who is rejected or cast out, as from home or society. Wikipedia defined it as someone who is rejected or 'cast out', as from home or society, or in some way excluded, looked down upon, or ignored.
Hyoudo Issei can be called as outcast since the rest of the school perceived him as insect due to his perversion. Hachiman was also avoided and looked down upon due to his sarcastic behavior and dead fish eyes which makes people who converse with him feel uncomfortable. Hasegawa was avoided since they are scared of him as they think he is a yankee due to his blond hair which they think was dyed.
The rest was not avoided or looked down upon. There was nothing in the anime or light novel that suggests that they are a social outcast. Tigrevurmud Vorn was looked down but only by noble of higher status (greater political and military power) than him, Zion Thernadier. The rest, including Eleonora Viltaria, which boast greater military and political power, much like Zion Thernadier if not greater due to her status as a Vanadis, doesn't look down upon him. Adlet was looked down upon by only by some, due to his background. Most however, see him in good light since he is one of the chosen heroes.
So, out of 10, we have 3 pure outcast, that is 30%. While this is not a majority, it is quite a significant number. Why do we have this many social outcast protagonists? In Issei's case, he is a social outcast due to his open perversion, so his personality is the problem here. It is to be expected that he is a social outcast since he is so perverted. Hachiman and Hasegawa are the only ones looked down purely due to their looks. So it's really only 2 of 10 social outcast. Not that much considering the amount of samples.
Why do we have these social outcast protagonists? I think the main reason is that because having a social outcast protagonist helps in making the reader immersed in the story. Such protagonist invokes empathy from the reader, regardless of whether the reader was a social outcast himself or not, but is especially true if the reader was. An immersed reader will continue to read the story as they want to find out what happens, thus such protagonist helps making the book sells.
Hair
Of those 10, Orimura Ichika, Hyoudo Issei, Hachigaya Hachiman, Kirigaya Kazuto, and Sagara Yoshiharu are the ones with dark hairs. Dark as in black or dark brown. Tigrevurmud Vorn, Itsuka Shidou, and Adlet Mayer has light colored hair of red, blue and red respectively. Hasegawa Kodaka is in-between since his hair is actually blond but a dark blond. Tsuchimikado Harutora's hair is mainly light but he has black hair near his ears.
Of the 10 examples 5 has dark hair, that is 50% of the samples. Those who have dark hairs are all of Japanese ethnicity. Of those 5, Orimura Ichika, Hachigaya Hachiman, and Kirito are the ones with black hair. Hyoudo Issei and Sagara Yoshiharu's hair are dark brown. Dark brown hair is actually quite common among Asians.
Tigrevurmud Vorn, and Adlet Mayer was not Japanese. Japan doesn't even exist in their world. Itsuka Shidou, Tsuchimikado Harutora, and Hasegawa Kodaka are Japanese with light colored hair. In the case of Hasegawa Kodaka, his dark blond hair color is part of the plot. It was due to his father being a Japanese (with black hair) and his mother being a western with blond hair as he mentioned when he said that he is jealous of Kobato being born with pure blond hair and that she doesn't look like a Japanese unlike him. Shidou and Harutora has such hair color even when they were kids.
Blond however, is a color that people in real life also has. Shidou is the only Japanese with unnatural hair color. So, out of the 8, 7 has hair color that exists in real life. Only 2 has blond hair, which is not what most Japanese was born with. Thus, we can say that most of the protagonist with dark hair is because that is what most Japanese was born with.
Other Media
Now, let's analysis how western media protagonists are. I'll just mention some.
Harry Potter of the Harry Potter series was a loner if we go by Merriam Websters' first definition of loner. He was also an outcast since befriending him means becoming enemy of the class bully, who happens to be his cousin, Dudley Dursley.
Bella Swan of Twilight series was also has friends prior to the start of the story, Angela Weber, and Jessica Stanley.
Batman is mostly a loner with his friend being Superman and that was after the story start, not prior to the story. He is also in friendly relationship with Robin, his sidekick.
Wolverine's friend before he joins the X-Men was his brother, Sabertooth. He is outcast as far the the humans is concerned since they fear him for being a mutant, that is if they found out about it.
Heathcliff of Wuthering Height was a loner and an outcast. He pretty much dislikes the company of others with the exception of Catherine who he is in love with. He is also an outcast due to his dark skin and origin.
I'm not saying that protagonist of western media are more loner and outcast than Japanese LN protagonists since clearly I didn't give enough examples. My point here is that this is not unique to Japanese LN protagonists. Such type of protagonist exists even in the 19th century when Wuthering Heights was published,
Conclusion
We can't really say that there is a trend of loner main protagonist in light novels. While we have quite a significant number of outcast main protagonists, it is not the majority. Like I said in the beginning, loner is not the same as social outcast. Only 10% of the example protagonists are loner, but 30%, that is 3 times, are social outcast. Social outcast protagonist invokes empathy from the reader which helps making them immersed in the story.
In comparison to other media, LN protagonists are actually not that unique. Loner & outcast protagonist is not exclusive to LN since like the example I give above, many protagonist of famous stories are loner and outcast.
In regards of hair color, it can be said that their dark hair color is due to the fact that most of Japanese was born with that, thus giving a dark hair color helps keeping it believable that the main character is a Japanese just like their name suggests.

I think the most applicable answer is relatablily, as you reference in your question. I want to preface this answer by saying that not all anime consumers or fans fit this mold.
The stereotype is that otakus are social awkward and timid people. To make their shows relatable, anime producers try to appeal to this aspect of their target audience.
If you've ever been to Japan, much of the culture and merchandise surrounding anime almost promotes staying inside and watching more anime. If a consumer becomes obsessed with anime, they are more likely to stay inside and consume more of it, which in turn makes the producer(s) more money. Thus, many producers tend to exaggerate this fact to promote the idea that an anime watcher is a social outcast, which in turn makes otakus relate to their shows more and watch them more often.
However, I think it is also important to realize that the target audience of many, many anime and manga is high school aged students. As many of us can attest to, high school can be an awkward time of transformation, when people truly realize who they are and what they enjoy doing. Thus, it would make sense that many of these shows create characters that are initially shy and timid and then overcome their fears to accomplish something. Take Kirito from Sword Art Online, for instance. Yes, on the surface, and from an outsider's perspective, he seems like a social outcast. But as the viewers know him, he is a strong warrior of SAO. I think this hidden side of many anime protagonists appeals to a lot of high school teenagers, many of whom are timid or shy, but each have specific passions of their own. Similar parallels can be seen in the protagonists of many other shows, such as Parasyte and Gurren Lagann. Both Shinichi and Simon are teenage boys who start out timid, but transform throughout their respective shows to become accomplished and powerful.
I believe that the vast majority of anime consumers are not the stereotypical otakus, but we only hear about the otakus. If my friend Greg just likes Attack on Titan, we don't hear much about him, but if my buddy Michael has watched every single episode of One Piece, Bleach, DBZ, has tons of action figures, and runs around spouting random phrases in Japanese, people are more likely to notice and have opinions. Thus, the otakus create the stereotype for anime watchers, which anime producers then build upon with many of their protagonists. (source 1) (source 2)
As for the black/dark hair, I would guess that many protagonists have black hair due to the majority of the Japanese (and Asian) population worldwide having black hair, further making the protagonist more relatable.

"To make their shows relatable, anime producers try to appeal to this aspect of their target audience." -> LN writers are not anime producers. Manga writers are not anime producers. It's different.

The Wind Rises English release date?
I can not wait to watch "The Wind Rises" Movie, which is Miyazaki's final film. Is there any news about its English release date?

This question appears to be off-topic because it is about future events with regard to the production of an anime or manga; such details are only known to the creators of said works and should be checked on anime news sources.

yes, thanks really, but just I wonder maybe someone knows! ...

for a fact i know The Wind Rises opens in U.S. theaters on February 21st, 2014. You should refrain from asking such questions in the future again ok :)

yes, I am newbie here actually, but cause I can not wait until watch it. Thanks anyway.

Also see https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/5549/when-is-the-blu-ray-release-of-kaze-tachinu-the-wind-rises

Technically, the policy is only against asking about unannounced future releases, while a release of this has been announced for a while, so I'm not going to vote to close. On the other hand, this information is already located in hundreds of other places on the web, including wikipedia. You should check those before asking this kind of question here.

I see it actually, but cause it was asked on Oct. 2013, Now I wonder there are new news for it!

really I know, also I google it, BUT I suggest that I can discuss like this Question here with lover of anime movies, Thanks anyway!

Re: " which is Miyazaki's final film." It was publicly announced and believed to be his last film. He created The Boy and the Heron recently.

According a press release to Disney dated September 11, 2013:

The film is slated for limited release in North American theaters on Feb. 21, 2014, and expanded release on Feb. 28, 2014, under the Touchstone Pictures banner. The Wind Rises will also open for Academy Award qualification engagements in New York and Los Angeles Nov. 8-14, 2013, showcasing the original film in Japanese with English subtitles.

Why doesn't Ash use his old Pokemon?
Why doesn't Ash uses any of the Pokemon he caught in previous regions, apart from Pikachu? We only seem him use Charizard in Best Wishes and a few examples in Diamond & Pearl (only so far though because XY&Z haven't finished). I get how he wants to start fresh with each new region and use new Pokemon to beat the league (to make it more adventurous), but is there a specific reason for why he doesn't use them?

maybe laziness? if the games are anything to go by you have to go to a Pokemon Center, access the PC, access Bill's PC, put away one of your pokemon, go through the list of Pokemon in one box and realize you on the wrong one, change boxes and scan though that and repeat until you find the pokemon and go though the prompts to withdraw it.

Because they need to introduce more pokemon to the series. If they keep showing the same pokemon, new pokemon would have less time to shine. Gotta catch 'em all.

@AyaseEri but new pokemons get the whole entire series/season(not quite familiar with how western countries do it) and they can maybe drop in a few of his old ones while battling the league which isn't taking up that much time, only a few episodes out of the one hundred to two hundred episodes per series

It's a rather simple marketing thing IMHO. I think that Ayase is correct. Yes it wouldn't be "hard" to have a throwback battle or two but the main point of the show is to supplement the game and give a more common view of all the new pokemon and attributes that players can take into play. So having throwbacks would be kind of against that. But I agree it would be very VERY cool. Imagine a battle royale with Charizard and every other fire dragon. It'd be phenomenal.

He used few more pokemon again, Snorlax , Taurus etc.

Isn't it strange, in every part at end he is shown as strongest traini

Isn't it strange, in every part at end he is shown as strongest trainer. But in every newer he seems to be a newbie, again with all his lacking as in all previous parts. He becomes very weak and showns as had no mental growth earlier. Also, his age, isn't it a con in every manga. So, such questions like why he doesn't use are rather simple that because after every part at end he becomes so powerful that writing further becomes tough for writer. So, he write as a freshman, so , he can write further and earn money.

Another annoying part for example in xy theres some old pokemon he has caught before but he acts like he has amnesia and doesnt know or talk about his old pokemon

From S05E275 ("Gotta Catch Ya Later!", second to last episode of Master Quest)

Ash: Professor! I've decided to start a new journey too, and only take Pikachu with me. I want it to be just like the first time I left Pallet Town."
Pikachu: Pikan~~
...
Tracy: And you can count on me to take care of your Pokemon for you!
Ash: Really? Thanks a lot, Tracy.

Ash wants to experience the thrill of discovering the wonderful world of Pokemon all over again- a feeling he knows he won't experience if he only relies on his old Pokemon.
He remembers how much he loved the experience of being introduced to a whole new realm, and how he had to work at leveling his Pokemon and growing with them to be able to eventually win the Orange League Championship.
He decides to leave his Pokemon so he is forced to level native Pokemon, knowing he will grow as a person during this process.
He leaves his Pokemon at Professor Oak's Laboratory because he knows they'll be well taken care of.
Throughout the Pokemon series, Ash only ever brings Pikachu with him to each new region, as Pikachu is his best friend and they are inseparable. The are two execptions to this rule: the Johto region, due to behind-the-scenes expectations (Pokemon was originally only going to have Gen I and Gen II), and Diamond & Pearl, where Aipom sneaked aboard the boat Ash took to the Sinnoh region.

From producers point of view, Ash using new Pokémon  means that those  Pokemon got time to shine. Sure they can have Ash use his old pokemon, but there are 2 problem with this. First is there will be less time for new pokemon to show their skills which translates to less time for them to attract people to buy their merchandise. Second is that if the old pokemon lose to the new pokemon, old fans would get upset.This was the case with Kamen Rider tokusatsu series where fans of Kamen Rider Kabuto would get upset at Kamen Rider Decade (the character and the series) due to Kabuto losing to Decade.
From Ash's point of view, he collects the pokemon. In battle there is always the risk of his pokemon getting injured or worse killed. Sure he can just go back to the previous area to catch it again. But this will cost money and time. Using new pokemon that live in the region he is in means that supposed that the pokemon got killed in combat he can capture another with less time and money spent.

I think there is a slight problem with this answer, but I will need to check with another question.

thanks for answering but with the buying the merchandise problem, all they had to do was do something special with the new pokemon. a great example is greninja, it is voted the number 1 pokemon in Japan due to Ash-Greninja so that problem's solved. and i see where you're coming from with Ash's point of view but Ash isn't that kind of person, he doesn't collect pokemon, he want to meet them. he only catches the pokemon that are willing to go with him (with some exceptions). from our point of view and a player of the games' point of view but personally as a Fan of Ash, i can't agree with you.

Did Haru and Tokaku really kiss?
In EP7, when Haru goes underwater to save Tokaku from drowning and not exploding (Tokaku was in a human cage bomb underwater). Even though Tokaku wants Haru to save herself by taking the card key, Haru puts her lips against Tokaku, which awakens Tokaku.
So was that a life-saving thing or a legit kiss?

What's the difference?

Well, a kiss is special while a life-saving kiss is where you have to give them oxygen quickly. The life-saving kiss is more like CPR, which counts not as a true kiss. A true kiss is wonderful, not that I've ever kissed anyone. So, I suppose that is the difference.

What was Minoru Tanaka's (from Death Note One Shot) goal?
Unlike Light Yagami, Minoru Tanaka seemed to have a very different motive, what was his true goal?

Minoru was opposed to using the Death Note himself and his actions in the end boosted Japan's economy as a likely result of everyone under 60 getting 100 billion yen. while these might seem like him being virtuous and possibly altruistic, i believe Minoru's motivation was just to make himself money off the Death Note
this is evident in how he did not care in how the Death Note would be used by a buyer but rather how much they would pay for it, and the money going to the japanese people was just to hide his connection to the auction as Near had correctly deduced that the Auction-Kira would need to collect the money. being under 60 himself, Minoru would still get away with 100 billion yen from the sale but it being impossible to spot his account out of the millions that all received the same amount.

Why was Naruto's Room dirty when he came back from training with Jiraya?
Naruto returns to Konoha in Shippuden and finds his room dirty. But later in the series it is revealed that Konohamaru cleaned Naruto's Room. Is this some kind of mistake or is that two completely different timelines?
When room is dirty

Naruto: Finally Home Sweet Home, The old place hasn't changed a bit. Oh, well bound to be a little dusty being closed up for a couple of years.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN (Episode 7: Run, Kankuro)

When room is clean and spotless

Konohamaru: All Done, everything nice and clean now.
Sakura: Wow, you really cleaned Naruto's room.
Moegi: That's right , Naruto been away for 3 whole years and it really needed it.
Konohamaru: His place is spotless. It is ready to welcome him home >and so are we.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN (Episode 422: The Ones Who Will Inherit)

It's been a long time since I watched Naruto. So, it would be better if you provide the episode number. // Also, if you were away for 2 years, you'll find your house dirty.

I wants to answer, but in which episode Konohamaru said that? @FumikageTokoyami he talks about episode 7 in shippuuden.

@USerNAme Thank you. I just reviewed the episode and indeed the room is dirty as expected but I don't remember Konohamaru cleaning his room.

@FumikageTokoyami that's why I wants him to say in which episode doe he hear that, or any answer would be half empty...

@FumikageTokoyami I edited the question, added the episode names along with part of transcript and images. Please take a look.

@USerNAme I edited the question, added the episode names along with part of transcript and images. Please take a look.

Not really an answer to the question, but episode 422 is considered a filler episode. Fillers are notorious for creating plot holes

The simple explanation to this is that it's a plot hole created by a filler episode:

The episode shows Konohamaru cleaning Naruto's apartment so that it is clean when Naruto returns. This contradicts episode 7 of Naruto: Shippūden where Naruto returns to his apartment to find it dusty and filled with cobwebs
The Ones Who Will Inherit

A plausible explanation (albeit shaky at best) to fill in this plot hole is that this episode is an unspoken view1 of Konohamaru's dream while under the effects of the Infinite Tsukuyomi. This episode occurs right before Infinite Tsukuyomi is casted, so the timeline is a little off.
The Infinite Tsukuyomi put the victims into a dream world that is filled with their deepest desires. This filler episode seems to focus around Konohamaru both learning the Rasengan and improving his Sexy Jutsu technique in a comedic way.

1 This is not listed under the section of known dreams.

Good thing you strikethrough "plausible" because that is the answer. Once you get under the effects of IT, you will go under dreams where you can fulfil your desires and slowly realize that "this" is your reality (although you are very much trapped in a dream). I was unsure of the answer at first, because I don't remember which episode was it from (that's why I asked that above) {tbh, I skipped every IT episode, I assume it didn't hold any relevance to the core story}

Does Gaara belongs to Uzumaki clan?
In the series, it is said that most of Red Haired belongs to the Uzumaki clan. But I don't think that's the case for Gaara, but he got red hair. So question popped up into my mind if he's belongs to Uzumaki clan or is it something mother-father-combination thing?

Assuming that this statement is true: it is said that most of Red Haired belongs to the Uzumaki clan. It states 'most of the red haired' not 'all of the red haired'. Take note of that difference. Having read the manga, there never was a mention nor hint of Gaara being an Uzumaki clan member.

@W.Are If I recall correctly, I believe the OP has it backwards anyways. Most Uzumakis have red hair, not most red heads are Uzumakis

@Wondercricket Ah yes. my mistake :)

While there are no straight facts that confirm this or not, I can only use contextual conclusion to answer this:
No, it doesn't mean Gaara is of Uzumaki Clan because:

If Gaara was of Uzumaki Clan, it would play a big part in the story and Kishimoto would've definitely use it somehow, but neither of Gaara's parents are implied to be from that clan.
Sasori, as well as his father, are from Sunakagure and have red hair so it probably isn't that uncommon among the Sand Village people.
There are other examples of characters with red/reddish hair that are not from Uzumaki Clan, like Tayuya or Karui so there must be more red haired people in the world.

Why didn't Orochimaru fight Madara?
Why didn't Orochimaru fight Madara in 4th Great Ninja War?
I think Orochimaru was strong, like the other Kage, if not stronger.

There are two reasons:
1)Orochimaru was busy reanimating the four dead hokages to bring strong reinforcements.
2)Even if he was as strong as the Kages or even stronger, but we see in the fight between Madara and the Kages just how strong Madara was. He singlehandedly annhilated all the five Kages. So if Orochimaru decided to face him alone then I am sure he would have died instantly.

Why can't Naruto transform into the Nine Tails?
Killer B is able to transform into the 8 tails at will and be in control as he befriended the 8 tails.
.
Naruto has befriended the 9 tails too, but we never saw him transform into the Nine Tails like he did when he was fighting Pain and lost control of the Nine Tails (made of bones and muscles).

Now all we get to see him transform into is a kind of Susanoo like Nine Tails cloak.

Why doesn't he transform into the actual Nine Tails(made of flesh and bones like in picture below)?

It is duo to kuramas significance, it is the strongest of the tailed beasts and the chakra nature is somewhat more intense than the others. if you think about it minato also has his transformation like naruto does. when naruto was fighting pain the tailed beast got free and out of control and wanted to devour naruto. so the bones and muscles began to form, but when naruto is in control the chakra behavior changes. hence the change in appearance

@Henjin Killer B is in control when he transforms but his transformation still has flesh and bones, but now that Naruto has befriended the 9 tails, he should be able to do the flesh and bones transformation right? The difference between the 8 and 9 tails is not as high as the other tailed beasts

I've added pictures to make my question clearer. My question is: Why doesn't Naruto transform into the Nine Tails like the last picture?

This might be a duplicate of this question, which relates to this question

That doesn't answer the question @Wondercricket. It simply describes Naruto's current form. I want to know the reason for that.

as I said it is unique for kurama. and I believe that in the anime, someone stated 9tails is stronger that the others combined. @Beast

@Henjin Strength isn't a reason for being unable to use a complete transformation.

@Beast naruto's transformation is beyond others, the others can't use this transformation even if they wanted to so they are stuck with muscles and bones. and this is not a place for discussion

I do not know for sure, but I think Kurama cannot appear in that statue because Naruto has half of his power. If we retrieve when Minato sealed the Kyuubi (on the early incident of the masked man, Obito), Minato sealed the Kyuubi twice: once in himself and another in Naruto.

please add Sources that would support your thoughts

Why do Indra and Ashura reincarnate?
The anime tells us that Madara-Hashirama and Naruto-Sasuke are the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura.
Why did they get reincarnated? For fulfilling what purpose?

Well, Indra had the aim to conquer and rule the Ninja world with his beliefs. He never got the chance to fully attain that. And Ashura's aim was to stop his brother from going berserk with his ideals and to spread peace. Hence the reincarnations. But it doesn't always have to be reincarnations with purpose..

There is a lot of debate that the reincarnation cycle began because Hagoromo knew that sometime Kaguya would be free of the Planetary Devastation seal, and restart the Divine Tree ritual which would consume human-kind. But that is just in terms of giving the plot a direction.
Scientifically speaking, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. All it can do is transform. Kaguya initially attained massive amounts of chakra/energy due to being a member of the Otsutsuki Clan, and that energy exponentially grew larger after she consumed the Chakra Fruit. When she had kids, which were Hagoromo and Hamura, they inherited part of her energy. After they sealed Kaguya, the only people who wielded destructive energies were Hagoromo and Hamura. But, Hamura left Earth to live on the moon to keep guard on Kaguya, and the older brother Hagoromo stayed on Earth, and then had two kids, Indra and Asura, who also inherited part of their parents energy. They then grew up and became able-bodied adults who could use Hagoromo's power of Ninshu, not Ninjutsu, as Hagoromo said. While Indra retained and focused the power to himself, and used it destructively, Asura, however, used it to help people, thus forming the earliest concept of Yin and Yang. They were beings wielding enormous power and when they died, their chakra/power were transformed into their reincarnates, and like how opposite poles attract, so were the reincarnates drawn towards each other.
It is also evident that Hagoromo could transcned his consciousness over time, as he did with Naruto and Sasuke. It was just that his chakra wasn't being transformed and remained as a silhouette over generations.

There isn't really a well defined answer, but there are a few key plot points that provide hints.
First and foremost, Hagoromo himself. He is dead, and yet can still manifest in the living world and even give chakra out. He is half Ootsutsuki who have many mysterious powers, so its not all that crazy.
Second, Indra and Ashura are Hagoromo's kids, so them inheriting mysterious powers is a given. If Hagoromo can do it, they probably have some ability to do so as well. Hagoromo though has the Rinnegan which controls life and death, so him having more or less complete control compared to them would also make sense.
Third, Obito, who had a dimensional shifting power and could use chakra, which in his own words "connects the two worlds" to return back and even give chakra to someone. If that sounds familiar, its because its exactly what Hagoromo did. He however had dimensional shifting powers, which explains how he would be better than Ashura and Indra.
Fourth, the Rinnegan being able to revive people, and the Edo tensei being able to pseudo revive someone, as well as Chiyo's sacrifice to revive Gaara shows Obito's point about chakra connecting the world of living and world of dead is correct.
So, Ashura and Indra have not only some of the mysterious powers of Hagoromo, but they also have an incredible hatred of each other due to what happened thanks to Hagoromo. They fought, probably to the death that day. Indra believed power, and was defeated by his younger, and he believed weaker, brother. its a great insult to his pride. Power is wrong, he is wrong, and the weaker one beat him not only by inheriting Hagoromo's legacy, but then in battle. He probably wanted to win in the long run, so he transmigrated so Ashura would be long dead and unable to stop him, so Ashura did the same to stop him. A blood feud that even death can't stop.

It's just that the seal that they applied on their mother was not fully perfect, as they knew a day will come when their mother Kaguya will revive, so they had to revive as well.

When did Indra and Asura put a seal on their mother?

If you watched anime then you would have known but no worries ....

The fact is their mother was from other world well more precisely non earthly person and she had a duty to protect the fruit which  had fallen on earth somehow but instead she ate it as the guardians of that planet tried to retrieve it and so there was imbalance of power.... Rest watch the anime yourself erooo.....

So you're telling me, that Indra and Asura had a mother from an alien planet?

Why does Naruto's clothes not burn after wearing the Kyuubi cloak?
I was watching Naruto Shippuden, episodes 35 to 45, and it is said many times that Naruto's skin burns when under Kyuubi's chakra effects. In those episodes, we see Naruto's skin is ripped off by Kyuubi's cloak when transforming into fourth tails.
Why does Naruto still have clothes after Yamato reverts the 4 tailed state? If Kyuubi's chakra destroys what is under the cloak, shouldn't Naruto be naked after Yamato's jutsu?

because they cannot show a fully naked Naruto!!!

The issue of clothes has always been a plot hole in Naruto. I think in order to keep the show family friendly and appropriate for its target audience, clothes always seem to be untouched.

What you're describing are side effects to what's actually happening; exposing oneself to a bijuu's unfiltered chakra doesn't come at a cheap cost to the user.
The jinchuriki forms vary, but in essence, the host is regarded more as an endoskeleton when transforming beyond Version 2 into partial and full tailed beast mode.  A shroud of chakra surrounds the jinchuriki which is in the shape of (or is part of the shape of) the tailed beast within.  From that, it stands to reason that their host is underneath the layers of chakra, quite well-clothed.

If I remember correctly, it was mentioned by Jiraiya that the Bijuu chakra actually 'burns' Naruto to the extent that we see his skins peel off and turn to ashes. The red colour of the Bijuu form is due to his blood mixing with the Bijuu chakra. Naturally, with Kyuubi chakra's healing powers, his skin cells are able to regenerate but there is no reason for his clothes to regenerate as well besides family censorship.

This my understanding on the matter.
Kyuubi's chakra destroys any thing in touch with it if they have chakra. Since the clothing is not a living thing and is not receiving any chakra from any where and does not have a chakra flow in it, it will stand unharmed. But the skin has chakra points and a flow of chakra, so Kyuubi's chakra cloak will connect with it and because the skin is not strong enough to handle and channel Kyuubi's unfiltered chakra, it will burn away.

Do you have any sources for this?

as I said, this is my understanding of this. merely an opinion. should have posted it as a coment

Can you help me find out where im stuck with Naruto Shippuden?
So I've already restarted Shippuden twice and I would love to continue watching, but I can't remember at which episode I left of.
So here is what already happened maybe some of you might be able to help me out.

Sakura and Chiyo fight Sasori.
Sasori's childhood story.
Kakashi and Naruto following (I think) Pain/Deidara to wherever.
Pain/Deidara fighting against Gaara.

I don't know which of these was the latest, but maybe you could help me find the closest episode.

You are on the Kazekage Rescue arc. This arc spans between Naruto Shippuden episodes 1 through 32.
Since you have watched the episodes where Sakura and Chiyo face Sasori, which is around episode 26, you are probably somewhere between episodes 27 and 32

That is the Kazekage Rescue Mission arc.
According to the wiki,

the Kazekage Rescue Mission covers Chapters 245 to 281 of the manga and Episodes 1 to 32 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.

To add, the fight with Sasori lasted from Episodes 20 to 27. If you have seen this, then watch starting at Episode 28. However, if you are already on the later part (where they already took Deidara's bird down) of the chase, then you should start at either Episode 29 or 30.

When is Naruto using Kurama one tail
In which episode is Naruto using Kurama one tail mode for the first time?

Naruto first manifested a one-tail chakra in manga Chapter 231, which is Episode 133 A Plea from a Friend in the anime. This is during Naruto and Sasuke's fight as Naruto tries to stop Sasuke from leaving the village. If I recall correctly, there were no other similar occurrences preceding this.

Where can I watch Black Butler?
I want to watch Black Butler, but Crunchyroll won't let me.
Is there another site where I can watch it? I tried Crunchyroll and Youtube, and I don't know what to do.

Welcome to Anime & Manga! Take note that this site doesn't condone piracy, so we will only mention legal/official sites if they exist. Answers/comments that mention questionable sites will be removed without prompt.

Funimation|now has 2 seasons of Black Butler.

You can watch it on places such as Netflix, etc.

All though Netflix may have this series, Netflix also limits series to specific regions. Could you include the regions where this series is available on netflix?

Why could Ymir read the can, but Reiner could not?
While watching episode 29, we saw that Ymir could read the letters on the can, but Reiner could not. Why?
Manga spoiler:

 As far as I remember, both Ymir and Reiner are Eldians. So should they not both be able to read the letters on the can? What language is supposed to be on it? Why can Ymir read it, but Reiner could not?

I wondered the same. May be the anime is different than the manga? I didnt read the manga but I readed a synopsis in a wiki

Related: What is the language used on food can?

After some researches on the wiki, i found something interesting :

Even if they both are Eldians, Ymir was part of the cult of Ymir (It's also the reason why she was condamned to be changed into a titan). It could be there she learned the language on the can, and this language is probably linked to Ymir Fritz herself. However it is pure speculation since we have no way to really know.

Source : Chapter 89 (p. 8-13), Eren is reading Ymir's letter which tells us about her past.

There is an official answer to this question.

This post contains spoilers. Make sure to be caught up with the manga (currently Chapter 110).

First, let us lay the groundwork for the answer:

 Eldian is the official language of Eldia, Marley, and many other nations around the world.

 As a result of the old Eldian Empire's imperialism, Eldian is a known language throughout the world. It is spoken both inside and outside the Walls, although their writing systems differ. Ambassadors from across the globe used it to communicate with Willy Tybur during his pre-party.

 There are three known writing systems for Eldian:

Ancient Eldia

 An archaic version of Eldian is found in ancient manuscripts and texts
 that were sent by Eren Kruger to the Eldia Restorationists. The
 language appears to include a lot of visuals and was used by the
 Eldians from a long time ago.  Although it was unreadable to the
 Grisha Yeager and Restorationists, he and his fellow patriots assumed
 that the texts confirm their beliefs that Ymir Fritz had brought
 wealth to mankind, and that the Subjects of Ymir are the chosen
 children of God.

Inside the Walls

 This system of writing is found only inside the Walls. The writing is
 composed by short, straight strokes and sharp corners, and written
 horizontally.

Outside the Walls

 Another system of writing is found when the Survey Corps settled in
 Utgard Castle after searching for a supposed breach in Wall Rose. They
 found supplies that were left behind by unknown occupants, but the
 labels found on them were unreadable to most of the soldiers. When
 Ymir went off to find food, she found a can with a herring label on it
 which she proceeded to read out loud. She gave the can to Reiner
 Braun, who was shocked to find out that she could read the writing. It
 is later revealed that both Reiner Braun and Ymir came from Marley,
 confirming that the writing is the system used by the Marleyans and
 the Eldians living outside the Walls.

Now regarding your question: According to the Attack on Titan Guidebook,

 Reiner Braun could read the herring can like Ymir, but he lied in order to protect his own identity while forcing Ymir to reveal hers.

The previous answer is a good one, but I have another hypothesis.

 Reiner does indeed know the language, but pretends not to, in order to keep his identity safe. He acted in shock because he realized who Ymir was (the titan who ate his friend).

In the anime Reiner does not say "I don't know the language". This is only mentioned in the manga chapter 38.

Well, I can't answer your question directly but you also have to consider that Ymir has been wandering as a titan for about 60 years, thus making her a lot more "older" than Reiner or Berthold.
Then again, it is highly unlikely that a language can change so drastically over the course of 60 years…
In this regard I'd like to refer to Chapter 47 of the manga:

This premise might actually be the answer. Ymir was born 60 years earlier than reiner, so it might be an 'older' language as a lot has happened in their home town in those years... I should reread with that in mind. Thanks.

Glad I could help!

All of the other answers are wrong.
SPOILER ALERT
Reiner deals with a dissociate personality disorder. This is because he had developed his persona of a Eldian soldier while actually being a Marleyan enemy, to ease his sense of guilt and overall trauma of causing thousands of deaths. This soldier persona is unaware of Reiner's true identity of being an enemy from another nation (the language is in Marleyan), so this fabricated, soldier part of Reiner's self-consciousness couldn't recognize the language.

Can you provide sources to support your claim? As it stands, this is just purely speculation with no basis from manga or anime information. I am updated on both manga and anime and I can't see how this is even possible at all.

Who caused Rize to die?
In the first episode, someone threw the crane in order to kill Rize, however that also prompted in having to save Kaneki from totally being devoured/killed .
That was the point from where everything basically took off.
Was the fall of crane just a coincidence or was it deliberately caused by someone in an attempt to kill Rize and if so, who could have it been?

I am not 100 percent sure who is behind it, but I have couple of guesses: 1. V organization - based on Tokyo Ghoul:re chapter 64 Rize was a member of V and escaped them. 2. Aogiri Tree with doctor Kanou, to get rid of her and get her organs for experiments 3. Clowns - because they like to wreak havoc 4. Anteiku - Yoshimura wanted peace and she was getting to much attention from CCG

@anaksamea Yes, your guesses are on point and one of them must be responsible, as far as I can see.

In the Manga near the very end Tokyo ghoul, Kaneki remembers the incident, and it was shown that

 The Ghoul Group called the clowns did it as One of them, Souta, was there.

The specific incident summary on the Wiki confirms this.
The reasons why are not clear yet in TG:RE, as there are several groups that could have been the reason why it happened, or it could have been spur of the moment.

Is there any particular reason behind why Dressrosa is such a long arc?
I am sure most of the fans of One Piece agree with me on this one. The entire story of Dressrosa is progressing slowly. If you follow the anime like me, rather than the manga it's a very painful wait for something to happen.
Is there any particular reason behind it? Do the decision makers want One Piece to go on another 15 years. Some facts I know which might answer this are:

Previously one episode was made up of 2-4 chapters of manga, now its 1-2 chapters per anime episode.
Character Introduction: The amount of character introduction in this arc is too much which I think we can safely assume that they have some purpose in the upcoming arcs. (Similar to how so many pirates were supporting Whitebeard in the war)

Almost every ark has been this big! Crocodile around ep 70-130, Enies Lobby : 240 - 320, Thriller bark : 335-380. The usual ark size is between 70-100 episodes/chapters. I dont think there is actually a reason for this.

Voting to re-open. I think it is a valid question, as not all the arcs in One-piece have been long. And they seem to be getting a growing curve as the series goes on. I think the reason as to why the arcs are so long can be supported by factual evidence, and there for don't think it should be closed as opinion based. There are even arcs as short as 4 episodes! source

⚠ The answer below contains spoilers. Read at your own risk.

As of this writing, the 10 longest arcs with their respective number of episodes are:

Clearly, Dressrosa is roughly double the length of the second longest arc until now.
The major reasons behind this are:

Character Introduction/Development:
As you point out, the number of characters introduced during this arc are far too many as compared to any other arc. To list the major ones:

Admiral Fujitora
Bellamy is revealed to be alive and has visited Skypiea
Buggy is confirmed to have joined the Shichibukai during the time skip
CP 0
Colloseum Fighters (Mainly Rebecca and Kyros)
Dwarves
Kaido (seen for the first time, as opposed to the silhouette we have been seeing)
Kuzan is revealed to have become associated with the Blackbeard Pirates
Revolutanaries such as Sabo, Koala and Hack
Rob Lucci, Hattori, and Spandam have joined CP-0
Many characters make their first appearances after the time skip. The characters (in the order they were reintroduced) are: Jewelry Bonney, Brannew, Sakazuki, Bellamy, Jesus Burgess, Bastille, Sabo, Koala, the Gorosei, Urouge, Capone Bege, X Drake, Sengoku, Tsuru, Rob Lucci, Spandam, and Hattori.Source

Plot development: A lot of plot was covered in this arc, from introducing new story lines to filling in the gap that was left after the timeskip. To list a few of the things coveredSource:

Law's backstory and history with the Donquixote Pirates is shown.
Luffy activates a new technique called Gear Fourth.
Luffy fights and defeats Doflamingo with the other crew members having their own fighting scenes with their respective opponents.
More information about Haki is revealed during this arc. According to Law and Luffy, if Haki is overused, it will not be able to work for a certain period of time until it recharges.
The gladiators and dwarves who allied with Luffy offer him an alliance with 7 representatives of each crew, giving a total of about 5,640 pirates. He refuses the offer but they choose to pledge their allegiance to him even if he refused, forming the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.
Trafalgar Law is revealed to have the "D." in his name. It is also revealed that anybody that is a part of the Will of the D. is considered "an enemy of God".

Slow Pacing: As you pointed out, the pacing of One Piece has been slow during this arc. As mentioned in this article:

TOEI has decided to translate 1 manga chapter to 1 anime episode. Which is something that doesn’t really always work since narrative in comics and audiovisual pieces is not the same. We’ve also seen too many unnecessary reaction shots. For example, recently we got nearly a quarter of an episode of just toys transforming back to humans. Or hundreds of panning shots of Sabo (without showing his actual face until last week’s episode). Or repeated flashbacks, like Rebecca and her father.

This is happening because the manga and the anime are pretty close at the moment. Usually, an anime makes fillers in cases such as this. However, One Piece fillers are rare, and the one that we did get prior to the Dressrosa Arc:  Caesar’s Retrieval Arc, was only 3 episodes long. We also got the 3D2Y Special, but it still doesn’t seem to be enough.Source

Yeah, 1 Manga chapter per episode is the real culprit and is reaaaaalllllyyyyyyyy frustrating.

Is there a Sword Art Online/Accel World crossover?
Are there any crossovers of SAO and Accel World? Anime, manga, light-novel, anything?
I saw this image a long time ago somewhere:

And I read about a possible crossover between the two. Does anyone know if it has aired yet or will be? And where I can find the episodes/chapters or find more information?

Related: http://anime.stackexchange.com/q/2470/

There is also a reference to nerve gear in the first season of the Accel World anime.

There's also a crossover drama CD. The second disc adapts the "Versus" storyline mentioned in Astral Sea's answer; the first disc is just two separate storylines (one for AW, one for SAO) with no crossing-over.

There is a crossover, but it is still just a Special Chapter called Versus. It is just a fight between Kirito and Silver Crow, caused by a special dive machine. You can read a english version here.

Kazuto (Kirito) was on a part-time job to test out the 4th generation FullDive machine created by Rath. He was told that other users had seen a ghost and so he was there to check if it was true. During the dive he saw a robotic figure. He instinctively grabbed the sword hung on his back, only to discover that he was his avatar from Sword Art Online, Kirito the Black Swordsman. He looked up and saw a timer, health bar, stamina gauge on both sides of his vision, his login ID "KIRITO" on the left side and his opponent's ID, SILVER CROW, on the right.

When & where did the unnatural hair color aka "You gotta have blue hair trope" originate?
I specifically want to know which manga or anime started the trend, so I can reason from there to the how question, in order to not make general assumptions.
There was a time in manga/anime where blue hair was abnormal.
For example, from the short clips I've seen of the anime "アタックNo.1", it contains mostly black-haired girls, a couple of brunettes and a sparse blonde. No one there is pink/red/blue-haired. Same with Princess Knight.

I don't think it's that unusual that you'd want to see colorful hair styles in a country where most people have black hair. Also, manga is monochrome, so only cover page, a rare colored page, or textual description can be used to convey color. Also this post.

I like a more "This or that anime/manga was the first one to draw anime characters blonde/blue, so drawing a path from here we can start eliminating these assumptions" answer.

@Hakase All the answers on the question you linked are trying to explain why the characters have unnatural hair colors. This question seems to be asking "Can we identify when this became part of the anime art style?"

Just a guess. Maybe from Wild Arms (PSX game). The main hero of WA 1 and WA 2 was blue haired.

Urusei Yatsura had characters with weird hair colors as far back as 1981 and is generally the originator of a lot of things that make anime anime.
But then three years earlier Uchuu Kaizoku Captain Harlock (1978) already featured someone with a blue hair color.
That character was an alien, though.

Truth be told,... the characters with weird hair colors in Urusei Yatsura were also all aliens.
Similarly, Kidou Senshi Gundam 0079 (1979) had characters with blue hair:

Even earlier, Majokko Meg-chan (1974):

And I guess the following could also be interesting in general:

How do they power the fridge in the Going Merry?
When the crew (Sanji and Ussop) saw the Arc Maxim powered by Enel's Lightning they were surprised by how the machine worked autonomously without a power source. But then how does the crew power the fridge?

You don't actually need electricity to power a fridge.  Electricity is just used to power a couple of motors (plus other features, if you have a fancy one).  Really, all you need is something to drive the compressors, which usually amounts to a rotary motion source - a regular crank will do.  In the Sunny, it's clear they have rotary power.  However, it's possible the Going Merry doesn't have a refrigerator, but instead has an ice box.

Although nothing related to electricity/fridges is mentioned in text in the Wikia article on Going Merry, you can find the following image there (with a rough Japanese counterpart here):

Presumably, this Water-Drawing Machine is used to power the refrigerator. As pointed out in the comments, all you need is a rotary motion source to use electricity at all times.
Although, the crew stores most of their food in the Storage Room, as indicated by this image:

You may also note that there are 3 orange trees, taken from Bellamere's plantation, which are used as a source of emergency food:

So wouldn't they need to constantly pedal?

Don't forget the real emergency food, Chopper!

@solalito that was indeed agood one. And Ashish where is this shown. I mean is this from the Manga? As currently I only watch the Anime. Or is it some form of a reference book?

@TheRanger Like I said, they may be using some sort of a rotary device. It's also possible that they don't use electricity for most part at all, and just store food in the storage room. As for the pictures, Oda explained the various schematics and explanations of each part of the ship in Volume 11 of the Manga. Here is a link to the SBS, with the details on the Going Merry page. You can also check this for detailed info about Going Merry with the Japanese counterparts of these images.

Can any other devil fruit users use gears besides Luffy?
In One Piece, Luffy can use gears 2-4 (I know from a little bit of spoilers, I'm on the Water 7 arc and he has already used gear 2), but so far I haven't seen another devil fruit user use gear like Luffy's. Is there any devil fruit user that uses gears?

You're asking the wrong question. Gears is just the name given by Luffy to the extra usage of his unique paramecia body, hence technically only he can use Gears.
Gear 2

 Luffy uses his Elastic Heart and Blood Vessels to increase his bloodflow, this allows him to increase the limit of his body. He can move very fast and increased strength. It however decreases his endurance as he experiences more fatigue

Gear 3

 Luffy pumps air into his bones, which also being of rubber expands and allow him to increase the size and momentum of his moves

Gear 4

 Here Luffy pumps air into his muscles. This allows him to use Haki, while remaining elastic enough to dodge/bounce back attacks

Other users have their own special moves.
For Example:

1. Magellan - Covering his body with a stronger poison (Venom Demon: Hell's Judgment)
2. Robin - Using Thousands of Hands to create larger body parts including Wings. (Gigantous Mano or something)
3. Mr.3's Wax Suit (Champion Form)

If they call their special moves something else instead of Gear N, it doesn't change the fact that they are using there fruits' ability in a new way :)
NOTE: All Credit to Luffy for thinking outside the box, though I doubt he considers the impacts of those actions before doing something, usually he does it because its COOL! :D
source : http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Paramecia; Anime/manga
Edit: added more examples.
Edit 2: With the introduction of awakening, it makes sense to add that each fruits awakening will also be unique. Thus Luffy's version of awakening and how he uses it or even accommodates it into his Gears will be upto his ingenuity. (Personally, I want him to use a Staff (Like young Goku), which can extend due to his Rubber powers!)

Luffy is the creator of Gears, and so far in both the manga and the anime, he is the only known user to use it. In the One Piece wiki, the only person who can use Gears is Luffy, and the only reason he can even use gears is because of his Devil Fruit, the Gomu Gomu Fruit. Wiki quotes:

By taking advantage of the unique physical abilities granted by his Devil Fruit, Luffy has invented techniques that augment his speed and strength in different ways, though each one also has corresponding physical drawbacks. He refers to these techniques as Gears.

The way Gears work (you will see quite soon because they explain it in the CP9 event during the fights) is that Luffy pumps his blood a lot faster than normal, and his veins don't explode because he can stretch any part of his body, whereas if a non-stretchy person tried this, their veins would explode causing instant death. Therefore, no one besides Luffy can theoretically learn Gears.

What is this camp screen in Dororo?
Sometimes it's shown as an enclosure with an entrance.

Dororo episode 9 @ 10:22

Sometimes it's set up more like a maze.

Dororo episode 6 @ 12:15

It's never shown with any shade or shelter from the rain. It's always surrounded by banners. What is it called and what is it for?

Those would be Jinmaku(陣幕) tents, all though the screens themselves are also known as gunmaku(軍幕) which stands for military curtains.
In feudal Japan, these curtain enclosures where used to set up military encampments. Often housing the General and their strategists. The symbols on the Jinmaku would be clan symbols of the general being housed in the tent.
Beyond blocking wind, and the occasional prying eye, these tents where considered a sacred item by Samurai. It was said the Jinmaku had the power to drive evil way.
Prior to the Murmachi period there where no set guideliness on creating these tents, however during this period, and later on Arai Hakuseki the construction would become standardized. To the point that combatants could even identify what kind of personal the tents where housing based on the number of makukuji (幕串), or poles for hanging the jinmaku.

How did Satoru obtain the Revival ability?
Satoru Fujinuma has the "Revival" ability, which allows him to go back in time before a life-threatening incident happens. We do know that he is not able to control this power (even if he can somehow help to summon it sometimes), but do we learn at any point how he obtained it ? Or did the author mention anything about this ?

⚠ The answer below contains spoilers.
It is never stated in the anime nor in the manga how he obtained this ability. We know that after the events in the last episode, he loses it and it never occurs again.
As the Boku Dake Wiki says:

Revival (再上映 (リバイバル), Ribaiburu, lit. "Rerun") is an involuntary special phenomenon exclusive to Satoru that allows him to jump back in time in order to rescue someone from a fatal encounter within his proximity.
Empirically, Satoru's capable of responding to Revival, as it occurs involuntary and often at random times. Fujinuma described his experience as a deja vu.

http://bokudakegainaimachi.wikia.com/wiki/Revival

I don't think there is an official given reason for it, but after going over the story, I believe the power came about in response to Satoru's guilt.
As a child, he made no real effort to connect with Kayo. After she died, he felt awful for not doing anything to help her. His mother did her best to help him forget about what happened and let it go, and he more or less forgets about what happened, but the guilt never really stopped eating away at him.
Some time after this, he obtained the ability to jump backwards in short intervals, which lets him save people. Despite this, he still feels empty, because it doesn't help Kayo.
Over the course of the series he rescues Kayo and the other children that her killer murdered, and eventually brings the killer to justice in 2003.
In doing this, he is finally at peace with himself. And Revival never occurs again.

To me, there are two explanations for this.
One is that, like Kenya said, Satoru imagined the entire sequence of events, but not just when he was in his vegetative coma, but also before Kayo is to be killed by Yashiro. It could be that Satoru suffers from dissociative identity disorder and his intuition was acting as 'Revival' Satoru the entire time.
Or, it could be that Satoru was given this ability so as to protect others from the same fate Kayo fell to, but ended up being used by Satoru to save Kayo instead, which would eliminate the ability's reason for existence, allowing the events of the second, parallel 2005 to occur.

Recently read a review on this anime that made me want to cry on this ability, while it isn't how he got it, it is a lot like Butterfly Effect, the movie. Basically, the skill becomes chaos theory embodied in him as the anime goes on, but is never explained how it starts. We just never see the results really until the end.

Simple he is in a coma  and his braining is dying so he has flashes of his life going forward where people in life die , his brain then starts to go into a seize like state which makes his brain repeat flashes (the illusion of going back in time) then because he is being revived after dying his brain repeats the flashes from the start of life to the end of it.)  His brain is creating personalities, memories as his life is flashing before his eyes.  Hence the personalities , people etc all all fabrications of his mind which is screaming as it dies. The human mind can create entire humans and personalities that don't exist by piecing information together.
This is one theory only.

Sorry, I can't agree with the existing answers. If this was some sort of dream-like dissociative disorder, then the final events would never have occurred. The coma occurred because the teacher tries to kill him and he survived the coma because the teacher escaped and killed many other children (or in the anime, he just waited for him to come out). Regardless, it was proved that the teacher did attempt those kidnappings before and was prevented by Satoru, hence why the teacher tries to kill him once he's out the coma.
My take on the reasoning behind the "Revival" is less a sense of guilt and more a sense of hopelessness and despair. Satoru never truly get guilt over what occurred because he never tried to befriend or knew about what was happening to Kayo. However, the events clearly took an emotional toll and that culminated as an adult when he now felt dead inside. That loss of emotion seemingly triggered the "Revival" and brought about a feeling is self-worth, which coupled with the return of the teacher and the death of his mom triggers within him the need to return back to where it all began. This also is hinted at by the first time he fully uses the "Revival", he could never control "Revival" however after being cornered by police and the overwhelming feeling of loss from the death of his mother he begs "Revival" to occur to save her. This is a full "Revival" and is the only way to save his mom.
