Why didn't Danzo get the Rinnegan?
In Naruto, it was said that you need both Senju and Uchiha DNA to achieve Rinnegan, right? So why didn't Danzo get Rinnegan? He had Senju DNA holding Uchiha DNA.

The question is, does he knew that Rinnegan exists in Nagato?

@NaraShikamaru the question is completely dependent on what u said. But this can be considered as a different question!

Did Danzo really have the Uchiha DNA? I doubt that. Are there any references for it?

@R.J I have a question here. DNA can be taken even from a person's hair, which means it can be taken from eye also. Since danzo was able to control the sharingans, he had them connected with his body. Doesn't it mean he had DNA's of uchiha?? Please clarify :)

@RikuduSennin - Yeah it can be taken from the hair, but not the eye. Even kakashi was able to control Obito's Sharingan, but that doesn't mean he had the Uchiha DNA. I really feel that by just having a Sharingan gives you the Uchiha DNA.

every cell in ur body contains dna

@lordnamikaze, yes every cell in your body contains a DNA but combining someone's DNA to another is a different issue. It requires complex process (in Genetics) and consumes a lot of experiment to achieve the combination of two DNA's in one body thus having the Uchihas' eyes doesn't give you the Uchiha DNA right R.J?

Well, that's becasue you also need to be competent enough to master both these powers.
Madara was strong enough, and was able to awaken it. Danzo however, was not.
Danzo's DNA originates from experiments and body modifications. He wasn't a "Natural", while Madara had natural mastery over the Uchiha powers, and after being defeated by Hashirama, mastery over the Senju powers.
It was also implied that you need to be very close to the end of your lifespan to awaken the Rinnegan.

Edit - Spoilers!

 Based on the recent chapters, it is implied that it isn't Senju + Uchiha which is needed to awaken the Rinnegan, but Indra's and Ashura's (Sage of Six Paths' sons) chakras. That is why Madara (the incarnation of Indra) was able to awaken them after implanting Hashirama's (the incarnation of Ashura) cells into his wounds.

Nagato awakened it early. obviously he was pretty good with Sharringan, he used Isanagi.

@user2799 Nagato was implanted with the rinnegan when he was young by Madara. Also he never used Isanagi. The only shinobis that was shown using isanagi was Tobi and Danzo.

Did Danzo really have the Uchiha DNA? I doubt that. Are there any references for it?

He did have Sharingans, you know

yea and I meant danzo used isanagi. nagato was given a sharringan, he unlocked rinnegan cause he was already uzumaki.

@user2799: Nagato was given a Rinnegan from childhood. Danzo had Hashirama's DNA plus the Uchiha's Sharingans, hence he was able to use Izanagi. I don't understand your question.

@madara, the idea is that both senju and uchiha dna unlock rinnegan, right? hence madara achieved it in his fight with hishiroma, and nagato.... idk some say he was given a sharringan in his youth, others say he may have been naturally both clans(uzumaki is genetically tied to the senju). danzo had senju dna implanted to hold the sharringans (uchiha dna). so y weren't those all rinnegans?

@user2799: Because he wasn't strong enough/smart enough/"potent" enough to awaken them. In addition to having both Uchiha and Senju powers, one needs to aptitude to awaken the Rinnegan. Also, the Rinnegan was 100% transplanted into Nagato as a young child, that much was explicitely said in the manga.

so pretty much danzo was a punk??

@MadaraUchiha - Danzo only has the Sharingans. That do not count as Uchiha DNA. He used Hashirama's cells in his body(hand to be precise) to keep the Sharingans. Just having the eye doesn't mean having the DNA and that's the reason he never could have awakened the Rinnegan. If just having the Sharingan means having Uchiha DNA, then why wasn't Kakashi able to turn of the Sharingan? That's because only with the Sharingan blood, you get the ability to turn off and on the Sharingan.

@MadaraUchiha - You can say that Obito wasn't strong enough/smart enough/"potent" enough to awaken the Rinnegan, despite having the Uchiha blood and the Senju DNA. That's why he took the Rinnegan from Nagato's corpse. :)

@R.J, I think madara mentioned about danzo not strong enough to awaken rinnegan. Btw, Does obito have senju DNA??

@RikuduSennin - Ofcourse he does. When Madara found him, the right side of body was completely damaged. It was reconstructed it using Hashirama's living clone(which Madara had created). Therefore, Obito technically has half body of an Uchiha and the rest half of a Senju.

@RikuduSennin - Can you give me the reference of that(where Madara mentions about Danzo not being strong enough to awaken Rinnegan)? Because I firmly believe that Danzo never had the Uchiha DNA with him.

hair, spit, yes even the eye would count as dna

Danzo didn't awaken a Rinnegan because he is not a reincarnation of Indra. Even if he did, he only has the chakra reserves for like one or two moves. The manga and anime state that in order to awaken the Rinnegan without means of transplantation, one must possess a Sharingan, be Indra's reincarnate, take chakra from Ashura's reincarnate (these are Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths two sons) thus reforming Hagoromo's chakra, leading to the Rinnegan awakening. If a non-Indra reincarnate does what Danzo did, all he would get is Izanagi-spam, lesser cooldown on Kotoamatsukami wait, and Mokuton (wood style.)
Put simply, Danzo didn't awaken a Rinnegan because he isn't an Indra reincarnate.
Just in case you still don't understand, here's an image from the manga when Hagoromo himself explains how Madara awakened the Rinnegan.

Danzo was not able to awaken the rinnegan because he had senju DNA and Uchiha eyes but had neither enough chakra to effectively utilize either ability (hashirama' s wood style or the sharingan in his arms). While madara was an Uchiha who implanted hashirama's DNA throughout his whole body he did not awaken the rinnegan until he was near death. It would not be expected for someone like Danzo to be capable of manifesting the rinnegan, at least at the point in time that he was living.

Also, you need an EMS to evolve into the rinnegan unless you were born with it, which hagoromo was.We all know that even if you have senju and uchiha blood, you need the EMS to evolve into rinnegan. If hashirama wanted the rinnegan, he would have to transplant madara's sharingan to get it. If someone was the descendant of an incarnate of indra and also an incarnate of asura, he would be able to awaken the Sharingan, just the sharingan unless he was an incarnate of Asura.

Like many said, you kinda need the "blood" or "chakra" of the Uchiha and Senju to awakened, which many stated to be implied at the end of one's life. Danzo doesn't have any, only body modifications. Danzo had the Sharingan because he STOLE them, he ripped them out of the Uchiha who had them, therefore he will never awaken the Rinnegan. That's why he was bandaged, so it doesn't drain his chakra. It's not that Madara was strong enough, he basically had the requirements to do so, just at the end of his life did it awakened.
Nagato was implanted the Rinnegan at a early age by Madara before he died, and Nagato is of the Uzumaki, hence how he could easily handle the Rinnegan (I am sure if he had both Rinnegan or just the one).

Do manga artists draw their comics by hand or use computers?
In the Bakuman manga, the authors show that the manga artists create a manga without using any technology like computers. Is that how the mangas are drawn?

Every artist has different drawing techniques.

Some fully use the computer (using a drawing tablet and photoshop)
Some fully draw by hand (using pencil, then pen, then erasing the pencil, the making the pen lined bolder)
Some use a combination of the two (Draw by hand, scan to computer, complete with photoshop).

It's really up to the artist.

Thanks for the reply. Any famous mangaka who uses completely computer ?

a bit of a bonus.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdzjqOuO_Ig

@kartshan Benjamin Zhang Bin is a well known author using mostly only computer. However is not a japanese mangaka, but a chinese manhua artist.

A very popular author which often use a computer is Ken Akamatsu. You can follow him on twitter, it's very interesting and he's very active.

Just to add up to @Madara's answer.
Computers are also used to generate backgrounds. They'll generate wire mesh objects and room, if neccesary they'll apply complicated lighting and shadows (like sunlight passing through a complicated ceiling), apply textures to the models, and then print them and work by hand over them!
You can see the process of an artist mastering this tools in the omakes from Ken Akamatsu's Negima! volumes.
He would sometimes take photographs in many places or search for pictures of certain architectural designs (castle, palaces, etc) and he and his team would reproduce them on wire mesh models.
The work of Ken Akamatsu on sceneries is gorgeous, and most of the time you wouldn't think was done with CGI since it still has a lot of hand-drawn work.
He also creates creatures models to create and reproduce more easily crowds.

Why did Tobirama create Edo Tensei?
Finally, the manga of Naruto has been ended, and yet I wasn't able to figure out why Tobirama created Edo Tensei. From what I've known, Edo Tensei is technique was intended for the dead to be reincarnated into soldiers able to clear a battlefield with devastating and under any other circumstance suicidal attacks.

That is correct. Edo Tensei was designed to be used as a weapon. Edo Tensei has several uses:

Using your Enemies' allies against them has a deep impact on morale (Imagine having to fight to the death against your best friend/brother/father)
Regenerating soldiers can use suicidal moves repeatedly (Although it does seem like some techniques leave a permanent damage, even on an Edo Tensei'd body, like Itachi's Izanami).
Increasing your numbers is always a good thing.

Tobirama created this technique to battle in the wars between clans/villages during his time alive.

How does Ymir turn back into her human form?
Late in the manga, we know that titans are actually transformed humans, and that not all people who transform into titans can turn back into human form.
I did a lot of research on Ymir and there are many theories regarding how she turns back to her human form for the first time. How does it work?

Please be more specific - I guess you are referring to how Ymir turned into a titan initially (like how people turn into titan) and can't turn back, and you are asking why she turn back into human for the first time.

Well the research I did she couldn't turn back for 60 years and she consider the oldest titan than others. It said she ate Reiner and Bertholdt's childhood friend Marcel and after she ate him in front of them she was able to transformed back to her human form.

The answer contains heavy spoilers to anime watchers. You have been warned!
It's been heavily hinted (almost confirmed, really) that titans are created by transforming humans in some way. Ymir was transformed to a mindless titan over 60 years ago, and was unable to return to her human form for a very long time.
We already know that several powers (such as titan shifter powers, titan control powers, and "The Memories") can be transferred by eating. This conclusion was reached by Hanji in chapter 57.
When Ymir ate Reiner's and Berthold's friend (who was also a titan shifter), she gained his titan shifting abilities, and was able to return to human form.

For later readers, this has been speculated and heavily implied in story.

I wanted to update this question because the answers are outdated, and all of this information has been revealed in Chapter 89.
Please note, spoilers ahead, read at your own risk.
In Chapter 89, pages 8-18, we see a summary of Ymir's life in chronological order.

Ymir was originally an Eldian begger in the Marleyan internment zone for Eldians. As a child, she was caught associating herself with Ymir Fritz cultists, and she took the punishment for the cultists. As a result, she was sentenced to life as a mindless titan, taken to the penal colony Island Paradis, injected with titan serum in her spinal fluid, and shoved off the wall into the territory. This results in her roaming the titan territory of the penal colony for 60 years as a mindless titan.

At some point Ymir

hibernates in the earth under dirt and brush until 845 when Reiner, Marcel, Bertholdt, and Annie accidentally stumble upon her in hibernation. Marcel, seeking to save Reiner, sacrifices himself when Ymir tries to eat Reiner. Since Marcel was a titan-shifter he passed on his powers to Ymir, and Ymir regained the ability to shift back to human form. So, in essence, Ymir was only able to return to her human form because she ate a titan-shifter and then became one. All of this was entirely by accident and never meant to occur.

So how did Ymir turn to a titan
Major spoilers

 So she was in Marley,Marley is a place beyond the walls. Eldians found her and called her Ymir after Ymir Fritz. She was worshipped. She was caught by Marleyians and was sent to Utopia. Utopia is a place that turns people into mindless pure titans by injecting titan serum. She roamed the earth for over 60 years. She was hibernating under the ground. Reiner and Bertholdt’s friend saved Reiner from being eaten and got eaten instead. So she turned to a Human for eating a Titan shifter and got his powers. So That is It.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this already contains information from all the other answers before this. I think this can be considered a duplicate, and I don't think any new information can be added from the existing answers, given where the manga is now.

Just the same as Eric the titan body falls dead at her comand and she foracess her way out through the back of the neck. It gross but awesome.

Why are some anime and manga unlicensed?
Usually, I see that all anime and manga are licensed! But sometimes I see that some anime or manga are not licensed. Why is that so?
Therefore, I am asking what is the difference between licensed and unlicensed anime and manga? And what does that mean for the producers, television stations, websites (and other who "buy" and publish the anime/ manga) and for the anime/ manga fans?
Also how does the process for licensing an anime work?
Could you this explain this through an example like these?

One Piece (licensed anime)
Free!: Eternal Summer (unlicensed anime)
Death Note (licensed manga)
Hetalia (unlicensed manga)

Unlicensed, as far as I know, is usually w.r.t. the licensing status in the US. The original work is definitely copyrighted and licensed for distribution in Japan.

The English Hetalia manga has been licensed by Tokyopop and Right Stuf in NA since May 2012.

@Andruseto Hetalia is (or was) published in a blog, but any print distribution of the manga would still have to be licensed through a publisher. And, in fact, six volumes of Hetalia manga have been released in both Japanese and English, so it is licensed commercially.

(Preface: this answer mostly uses examples of licensing in North America / the USA because that's what I'm most familiar with. Keep in mind that a show that isn't licensed in North America may still be licensed in other regions of the world, such as Australia, Europe, China, and so forth.)

Therefore, I am asking what is the difference between licensed and unlicensed anime and manga?

"Licensing" here refers to the process by which a party that is not the original creator/distributor of a piece of content acquires rights to distribute that content, usually with the limitation that they may only distribute the content in a certain country or part of the world.
Since Funimation has licensed One Piece (I believe in North America only), they are authorized to legally distribute One Piece to consumers in the region for which they have licensed it. (I'm not sure who, exactly, the licensor for One Piece is, though I suspect it's the original manga publisher, Shueisha.)
Free! Eternal Summer is not a good example of an unlicensed anime, because it has in fact been licensed for streaming in North America by Crunchyroll, though I'm not sure if it has been licensed for home video.
Consider instead an earlier Kyoto Animation show: Hyouka. As far as I know, nobody has licensed Hyouka anywhere for any purpose (and this makes me very sad). This means that if you want to consume Hyouka through legitimate routes, your only option is to purchase the Japanese BDs/DVDs, or find someone who DVRed it in Japan, or something like that.

Usually, I see that all anime and manga are licensed! But sometimes I see that some anime or manga are not licensed. Why is that so?

If an anime or manga is unlicensed, it is because no company has bothered to purchase a license to distribute the product in the region where you live.
Note that while the majority of new TV anime produced these days are licensed (at least for streaming in the US), the fraction of manga that are licensed relative to the total amount produced is still very small (though this has been slowly changing with the advent of manga "streaming" services like Crunchyroll Manga). If you usually only run into licensed manga, that just means you're mostly only consuming manga through legitimate, licensed providers outside Japan.

And what does that mean for the producers, television stations, websites (and other who "buy" and publish the anime/ manga) and for the anime/ manga fans?

If an anime or manga has not been licensed in your region, it means that there is probably no legal way to consume a version of the product that has been adapted for consumers in your region (i.e. by subtitling, dubbing, localizing, 4Kids-ifying, etc.). Of course, this has never stopped anime watchers.

Also how does the process for licensing an anime work?

This is a complicated topic, and is worth a whole question on its own. (And also, I don't really know the answer beyond vague generalities.)

I love the difference between dubbing and 4Kids-ifying.

Where is the first track of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S OST 2 first played?
The OST in question can be found here. I'm looking for where it was played in the anime.
The title says "Saijaku VS Saikyou (最弱 VS 最強)," which translates to "Weakest vs Strongest," but I don't seem to hear it in Touma vs Accelerator's battle.

this song was featured on the Railgun S OST but it first appeared in "a certain magical index", episode 14 which was actually titled the same as the song, "strongest vs weakest", viewable here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NV2fR2cdRQ
but since your post does request when it appears in relevance to the Railgun series that would be episode 4 when Touma is fighting Misaka under the bridge at night. here's a clip of it directly from funimation's official channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lEtG-CJ9IY
in the Railgun S series it was swapped for the soundtrack from OST volume 2 #16 "Ketsui to kakugo" in the Touma vs Accelerator fight which took place in episode 15.

It plays when Accelerator is fighting Touma(In Saijaku vs Saikyou E14). Forward to around 4 minute 30 second mark and you'll see it's not very emphatic but yeah gives the fight some taste.

Confused as to why ANBU agents are so easy to kill off
Why are the ANBU agents the easiest to kill off in Naruto and Naruto Shippuuden?
Naruto's team was shown to be stronger than a team of ANBUs.
I'm just so confused why would they say that the ANBU are the best of the best when they are the easiest to kill off

It's not because Anbu is weak, it's just enemy is too strong.

Anbu is not designed to be Heavy Hitter, they are more focused on Cloak & Dagger type mission.

Wow what a coincidence, one of my cousins keeps asking this question.

This reminded me of The ANBU vs Katon Jutsu Problem. :p

Nartuo's team also had a member in it that used to be in ANBU and was considered an upper elite ninja before he started training them,

In simple words because the enemy forces were seriously STRONG that ANBU agents were not able to defeat them (as said by Happy Face in the comments).
According to me, Naruto's team is an exceptionally very strong.
Kyuubi's Chakra + Sharingan + Healing = STRONGEST
So there is no doubt that they are stronger. They are exceptionally strong, so we might say that they are stronger than ANBU agents.
When some strong enemies come to their village let's say Nagato, aka Pain, then it's quite obvious that ANBU agents won't be able to defeat him because Nagato is really strong, but Naruto did because he is exceptionally stronger than the ANBU agents.
According to wiki :

One of the Fifth Hokage's ANBU bodyguards attributed his chakra supply to the Rinnegan. Nagato could also constantly alter the nature of his chakra to prevent him from being located by sensory type ninjas.

This is also written in wiki that:

ANBU commander is very observant, seen when he recognises that Pain's chakra-levels must be immense and that he is controlling the bodies used to destroy Konoha by chakra alone.

But that doesn't mean that all anbu agents are nothing. For example Yamato is also an ANBU agent, and if you have seen him then you may have know that he is not easy to be defeated by enemies just because he is strong.
There are many ANBU agents which differ from each other. They are responsible for carrying out assassinations, tracking, surveillance, and missions requiring specially trained ninja. Also some ANBU serve as interrogators.
All ANBU agents have their own skills.
But there's a point that we must note:
ANBU are expected to destroy their bodies when they are badly injured on a mission like that they won't be captured.
Which might explain why they kill themselves every time they are badly hurt. Source

According to you is neither a good nor a authoritative and reliable source. Please try to reference canonical sources to back up your anecdotes.

Whilst Light Yagami's answer makes the plot hold itself together, I believe he's being naive.
Is more likely that they suffered the same fate as Stormtroopers did in Star Wars. They're the elite squad, but they can't take away the protagonists chance to save the day.

One word, Teamwork, AMBU agents are able to eliminate their comrades if the mission requires them to, The other teams work together & protect each other, this simple aspect makes any team stronger than AMBU.

The problem with the Anbu is that because they all wear masks, they are always essentially anonymous. They have a reputation for being very strong, but because no-one wants to see five anonymous men beat up one budding villain, they never win any fights, only ever being defeated, sometimes by the dozens, to show how strong some other ninja who actually has a name really is.
Comparing Naruto's team to the Anbu doesn't really make a lot of sense, at the beginning of the series their power is basically Kakashi, one of the top jonin in the leaf village, and Naruto sometimes being pretty helpful when his fox chakra comes out. Sasuke is very talented, but is still just a kid, and significantly weaker than any named jonin. As time goes on, Naruto becomes far more powerful, first defeating Nagato which the entire Leaf Village was unable to do, and then becoming basically a God by the end of the series.

That doesn't really make sense. The only reason the ANBU wear masks is to hide their identities. If they don't hide their identities their enemies could reach the ones they love and use them against them.

Why do first, second, and third grade of Japanese students wear different uniform in Anime?

I noticed that in most of school-life anime the first, second, and third grader usually wore different uniforms. It's not completely different. Sometimes the differences are pins, ribbon, indoor slippers, tie, and so on. But, what does the reason behind this?
I watch some Japanese dramas. But, couldn't recall any title that has those differences.
Is this really part of Japanese culture?
PS: In my country, most students wear uniform too. But there's no differences of uniform between first, second, and third graders.

In my country (Indonesia), our school uniform has a badge that indicates what grade we are. It was not just my school, other schools here also have it like this. Thus, this is not/no longer (since Indonesia used to be under the occupation of the Japanese forces) a Japanese specific culture.
As to why we have it that way, a page in Wikipedia explained it well. Basically, the uniform was modeled after the sailor uniform. The difference between Freshman, Junior, and Senior uniform rooted back from the rank hierarchy in the army. Think of advancing class as advancing in rank, like from a Sergeant into a Major, and then General.
Edit: Added from the Tomato Cabal Line group discussion (credit to Krazer), the color on the uniforms and shoes denote the year the students belong in. The color is rotated each year. E.g. the color of the graduated senior becomes the color of the new incoming freshman. This is so that you can tell who is your senior and who is your junior. The color is rotated so that you don't have to change color every year.

I'm Japanese.
Even in Japanese schools, uniform designs are not always divided by grade. Certainly, some real schools in Japan may have different design of gym clothes （For examole, colors of the jersey or headband） or some part of uniforms (For examole, color of Ties or Scarves.) depending on the year of enrollment. This is so that the grade can be visually confirmed. Grade level colors often remain the same until graduation. In other words, it depends on the year of admission rather than the grade.
At my alma, the color of the name tag was divided according to the team at the athletic meet. The same blue name tag is used for  3rd year 2nd year and 1st year A group. Group B uses a yellow name tag regardless of grade, ... .

I don’t know why they do it in Japan, but it is what it is. I only know that in uniforms sometimes, it’s different than others to know what grade you are or something like that. ( for example, I watch this anime called love live school idol project and to know if their a 1st year, 2nd year, or 3rd year, the color of their bows on their uniform are different colors. Blue for 1st years, reddish pink for 2nd years, and green for 3rd years.) I think they do it in lots of anime’s and in real life too.

Does Kyoukai no Kanata anime adapt light novel closely?
I watched the Kyoukai no Kanata anime. So I was wondering if the anime adapted the light novel closely.

As far as I know the story is different from around episode 3 onwards, because the light novels were still being written while the anime was being produced
I've only read the fan translation of the first one and a half volume and as far as I know the entire hollow shadow thing wasn't even in the light novels.
Also, the Mirai-hen movie with the amnesia was anime original.

Why did Hiruzen Sarutobi become the third Hokage again?
Hiruzen Sarutobi is the third Hokage, while Minato is the fourth Hokage.
After the death of Minato, Hiruzen becomes Hokage again and he is still called the third.
But why still the third? Why isn't Hiruzen called the fifth then? And why didn't they choose a new candidate as new Hokage?

This is a guess from human behavior not exact knowledge.

they are used to call him the third Hokage and only know him as the thrid.
Even if he now would officially be the fifth. Compare this to kings in the real world even if the went to exiles or somethign and came back to be kings again they would not change their name.
there might not be a suitable candidate at that point or he might be the best option.

But, Konoha have many strong ninja like Kakashi or Guy, why no one can't be the candidates?

It's not about how powerful you are. When you become the hokage, the entire safety of the village lies upon you. Also you need to be responsible for every decision you have to make. True that you need to be a powerful ninja, but being powerful alone won't make you a hokage.

After the kyubi attacked Konaha was basically a disaster zone .Hiruzen knew that if the other nations sense any weakness in the leadership of the village it could easily have led to another invasion.
That coupled with the fact that there simply was no one else that  came close to Minto. Orochimaru had already defected. Jiriyaya spent most his time chasing after Orochimaru.There simply was no one else for it.

I don't think Jiraiya is the candidate, fact that he is like the master of Minato. If so, he should be the Hokage before Minato.
And after the death of the fourth, when the third become Hokage again, no one search Jiraiya to ask him to be Hokage. Also when Jiraiya back to Konoha, he and Naruto have a mission to find Tsunade to ask her to be next Hokage.
Or did he have a reason why he didn't/doesn't want to be a Hokage?

Sarutobi Hisuzen Sama never re-elected as the hokage of the konoha. Since he was the previous hokage, he was just represented as a hokage after the death of Namikaze Minato Sama(fourth).
Reasons were,
Everybody knew Danzo was not the right person for hokage post.
Jiraya sama was wandered around to find a pupil who was about to bring peace to shinobi world, and Ooruchimaru was very evil person and Tsunade Sama never accepted the post of hokage (This was until she met Naruto san).
Since he was just a representative, he was never called the fifth.

How much of the novel is covered in the anime?
After watching the anime, I feel the need to finish the story through the novel. However, I do not know where in the novel did the anime end off or if it even followed the novel's plotline at all.
The question is that if I were to read the novel:
Where should I start?
Would I miss anything if I start where the anime ended?

The anime was based of Arakawa Hiromu's manga adaptation of the original light novels so it does differ quite a bit from the original novels. However, the major events remain largely the same but how they arrive at that point is different to a certain degree.
Therefore, if you were to read the novels, start from Shadow of a Lone Rider (Volume 5), which is after Road of Blood and Sweat (Volume 4), which is the book where the anime ended.
However, the last 2 episodes of the OVA adaptation in 1995 did loosely cover  Shadow of a Lone Rider, so you can actually watch the last 2 episodes of the OVA instead.
Afterwards, start reading from A Frenzy of Dust (Volume 6) which comes after Shadow of a Lone Rider.
Update: With the new release of Arslan Senki: Fuujin Ranbu, which covers Shadow of a Lone Rider (Volume 5) and A Frenzy of Dust (Volume 6). You can now instead start reading from The Capital Retaken (Volume 7) instead.

Does the story between each major event differ between the LN and the anime or is the difference only between the LNs and the Original Novels?

There is only one novel for Arslan Senki, the one by Yoshiki Tanaka. The adaptation by Arakawa Hiromu is a manga, and the manga is also incomplete. The anime just used his manga art-style and characters to tell the story of the novels so the  difference exists in both the anime and the manga compared to the novel. However, the difference is minimal so its fine for you to disregard it and go ahead to read the novels.

Mind updating the answer with the second season's coverage?

@DarkDestry It is done.

I’m a great fan of Arslan Senki and read the novels in Japanese twice. Sorry it’s been almost 3 years since you posted your question, but I will answer all your doubts. I’ll start, however, by quoting the answer from Astral Sea as the choice of words might be confusing sometimes, but it gets clarified in his/her comment to the OP as I will explain.
“The anime was based of Arakawa Hiromu's manga adaptation of the original light novels”
It was properly clarified when he/she says in the comment: “The adaptation by Arakawa Hiromu is a manga, and the manga is also incomplete. The anime just used his manga art-style and characters to tell the story of the novels”
Basically, the anime took the art style from the manga when telling the story of the novels. The anime character designs belong to Shingo Ogiso as well.
The story itself was quickly taken directly from the novels as the only source as the anime caught up with the manga.
There were 19 chapters published when the anime started running (5th April) and also when it ended (27th September).

The first link corresponds to volume 3, which includes chapters 11-19 and was published in Japan on February 9, 2015.
The second link corresponds to volume 4, which includes chapters 20-27 and was released in Japan on October 9, 2015. It is important to note that the anime had already ended before this date though.
Just so that you know, episode 9 from the anime covers up to chapter 19 from the manga, and episode 10 covers up to chapter 23. So it would be something like that more or less.
After that point, episodes 10-25 from season 1 as well as all episodes from season 2 could not take the manga’s adaptation into account while adapting the novels as there was no manga to begin with.
The manga’s pace is incredibly slow. Even now, 2018, it still hasn’t started dealing with what season 2 covered (the latest manga Chapter 57 is adapting the last part from novel 3, whereas the anime’s season 1 covers novels 1- 4).
I’ll explain this later in more detail, but the manga’s adaptation is faithful and respectful to the novel source material. The anime’s adaptation not so much.
“So it does differ quite a bit from the original novels”
It gets clarified in his/her comment as well:
“The difference exists in both the anime and the manga compared to the novel. However, the difference is minimal so it’s fine for you to disregard it and go ahead to read the novels.”
The difference between the manga and the novels is minimal. The manga adapts the novels in a consistent and faithful way. The anime, however, is less faithful. Yet again, I’ll explain this later.
Now, these are the 3 issues that the OP has. I’ll explain all of them:

After watching the anime, I feel the need to finish the story through
  the novel. However, I do not know where in the novel did the anime end
  off or if it even followed the novel's plotline at all.
Where should I start?
Would I miss anything if I start where the anime ended?

Before that, I’m gonna add 1 extra question:
1. What should I read?
This is the only question I’ve added to your already existing 3 issues as I imagine that you, as an anime-only watcher, also have this doubt. I’m also going to take this chance to explain some basic information needed to answer your questions:
Arslan Senki is a Japanese novel series written by Yoshiki Tanaka. There are sixteen novels written between 1986 and 2017. A manga adaptation by Chisato Nakamura started running in 1990 and finished running in 1996. It had an original ending as it caught up with the novels. Because of its popularity, a second manga adaptation illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa debuted in 2013. An anime adaptation was made in 2015.
The novels are praised as a masterpiece in Japan, which is the reason they received adaptations in the first place and people kept up with them for 31 years. I would very strongly advise you to read the novels over every Arslan Senki adaptation.
However, there is no official translation as of now, and not much content has been fan-translated for the past 31 years. So… if you don’t know Japanese, I recommend you read the second manga. It is the most faithful adaptation you’ll find, and it’s in English.
2. Where should I start?
Depends on what you want to do and your situation.
-If you’ve just watched the anime and you want to read the novels (as I said, they’re regarded as a masterpiece) I would advise you to start from the very beginning. The novels are very long and complicated, so starting from the very first volume is the best option.
-If you can’t read the novels for language reasons and want to read the manga instead, I would advise you to start from chapter 19. The differences between manga and anime increase after chapter 19-20 (end of episode 9) and keep increasing ever since (for example, chapter 29 doesn’t exist in the anime).
-If you’ve read the manga and want to delve into the novels, you can start where you left off on the manga. Unlike the anime, the manga follows the original material quite faithfully.
To further help you understand the overall situation, I’m also going to tell you what the current situation is.
2.2 Current situation
The very first season of the anime covers novels 1-4. The anime caught up with the manga when only 3 manga volumes had been published. Those 3 manga volumes cover the first novel.
The second anime season covers the last part of novel 4 (as in the novel, Andragoras's escape from the dungeon is written before the funeral in St. Emmanuel) as well as novels 5 and 6.
The manga currently has 57 chapters and is now in the middle of novel 3’s last chapter where Sam reunited with Kubard and convinced him to fight for Hilmes and it is just before Arslan circulated the manifesto all around Pars.
As you can see, the manga has already covered (as of March 2018) half the novels seasons 1 and 2 from anime did. It took almost 5 years though.
3. Would I miss anything if I start where the anime ended?
You would most certainly do. The anime starts making more changes from the original novel source material after episode 10 from season 1, so I would suggest you start reading from chapter 19 or 20 (start of episode 10). This is obvious, but when the anime makes changes while adapting the novels, it also deviates from the manga’s faithful adaptation.
4. Are the manga and anime adaptations faithful to the original source material?
I’m rephrasing your doubt “I don’t know … if it even followed the novel's plotline at all.”
Anime: It has added quite a few scenes. Some of them seem to be very important, but don’t exist in the novels. For example:

The fact that Arslan saves Daryun from Arzang, the sorcerer, just before reaching Peshawar Fortress
The fact that Bahman gets killed by Hilmes
*The fight between Daryun and Hilmes at the end of season 1
*The fact that Bodin's men take the sacred sword Ruknabad
*The fact that Hilmes gets Ruknabad. In the novels, no one can take the sword except the chosen one who will take over the will of Kay Khosrow, the ancient great King.

And lack, among others, the following events from the novels:

The fact that Narsus defeats and kills Arzang. They even skipped Narsus saving Alfarid for the 2nd time, which made Alfarid fall in love with Narsus.
The fact that Daryun apologizes to Gieve for considering him an untrustworthy person. This event takes place after knowing that Gieve had saved Arslan.
The fact that Hilmes murders Kishward's very loyal subordinate and Azrael's brother.
Hilmes valuing Zandeh’s skill of gathering information by using his men.
The fact that Bahman accompanies Arslan to Sindhura and fighting bravery as a marzban.
The fact that Bahman dies in Sindhura
The fact that Salima, daughter of Mahendra, lets Rajendra arrest Gadhevi, who is Salima's husband.
The fact that a sorcerer tries to steal the secret letter of Bahman and Narsus cuts off his arm.
The fact that Andragoras tells the secret of Hilmes's birth to Sam.
*The fact that Daryun captures Etoile before the battle in St. Emmanuel.
*The fact that Merlain and Kubard defeat a Lusitanian troop together.
*The fact that Jimsa and Zaravant escape from Andragoras's forces and they start searching Arslan together.
*The fact that Zandeh throws Ruknabad into a crack in the ground, and pursuades Hilmes to once forget about it at the time when Ruknabad refused Hilmes and made a large earthquake hit.

("*" refers to scenes from parts of the story that have yet to be reached in the manga as it’s still behind the anime)
Whereas in the manga, all the events I remember that were added are just (Note: this list should be quite decent. Unlike the previous 2 ones, here I made a big effort to gather all the differences I remember having noticed when I read the manga):

The first chapter (which was also in the anime)
One short fight between Arslan and Kharlan (which was also in the anime). I wouldn’t really call it a fight, but in the novels Arslan and Kharlan don’t have that short crossing of blades before Kharlan fights Daryun.
The fact that Etoile hands a small religious book to Arslan close to a river and the conversation with his companions about it (the anime added the act of giving the Bible, though under different conditions and there was no chat about it between Arslan’s companions when they go to Hodir’s castle)
The sentence “one in one hundred million” used by Daryun (I think the anime used it once during the first half of season 1) as well as Arslan’s famous word “delicious” when referring to delicious food (the novels also use that word, but it’s more frequent in the manga. The anime used the word as well).
Farangis usually dresses like a man in the novels, whereas in the manga there’s fan service. The anime took the manga’s character designs, so obviously it includes such fan service.
The fact that Elam has a memory of Narsus praising his cooking skill
The fact that Kishward already has a wife and a son, whereas in the novels his wife and son appear much later.
When Daryun reveals Arslan identity to him, Daryun holds his hand. The revelation part is the same, but them holding hands at sunset is new.
The fact that Montferrart's brother is among Bodin's soldiers who were killed by Hilmes when Lusitanian soldiers were fighting over the sacred flag. In the novels, he wasn’t present there.
Jaswant (this character debuts in chapter 43 of the manga) sees Narsus painting, whereas in the novel it’s not described that she takes a glance at his painting.
The fact that the story of how Daryun got hold of his polearm is more detailed in the manga.
In one of the latest chapters of the manga (+55), Hilme’s secret is more explained than in the novels.

And not much content from the novels has been cut down. Obviously, the novels will have more details, but the important events are told faithfully, and the stuff that gets removed is the kind that is unnecessary and overdetailed for a manga (the manga format is quite different from that of a novel). To name a few examples of the events that the manga didn’t include while adapting the novels:

Once Vahriz asks Daryun what his impression of Arslan's features is at Atropatene, there is a line that Daryun says ("He  has a handsome features. I guess young ladies all over the capital city will talk about him in two or three years, but uncle...") right before Vahriz tells him that he was actually asking which one of the prince’s parents looks more similar to him. That line I quoted is not included in the manga.
The reason why Narsu’s father died is because he fell down the stairs right before he was about to leave his land and help Andragoras. This led Narsus to go to the capital city and made him famous for the first time as a tactician.
Amidst the sorcerers who have served the master sorcerer, Gundhi  frequently appears in the underground room to receive instructions. In case you don’t remember it, he is the one with an incomplete mask that doesn’t cover the right side).
The fact that Narsus has been rumored to have love affairs while working at court. Furthermore, Daryun has fallen in love with the princess of Serica. (Just 2 months ago, the author mentioned they are no longer a couple**)
When Daryun fights with Bahadul in Sindhura, Daryun gets bitten by a jackal and he chops the jackal's head and even makes its eyes come out.
About Pars legends, there exists a deep tradition of not eating sheep brain. Nevertheless, right when Arslan and his friends are in Sindhura, they inadvertently eat it in the food they’re given. It is stated that Daryun loses his appetite after that, yet Farangis is fine.

** Refers to an event that Tanaka has stated to have happened, but it doesn’t appear in his novels. He tends to do this sometimes, and his words/messages add new canon material not mentioned in the novels themselves (sometimes these new details/facts said by Tanaka are actually included in the second manga’s adaptation). This time it was mentioned on 18th January 2018, where we get to know that situation I explained before and exactly how it happens. If you google  31年目のヤシャスィーン you can see it on nico video website, but you need to have an official account and it’s raw Japanese as no English subtitles exist. In that conference he also mentions unimportant stuff like the fact that he had already decided the ending even before the second half of the novels had started, that while writing dialogues he says them out loud to make sure it doesn’t sound weird, that Daryun is dressed in black because he was reading the historical and psychological novel The red and the Black…
Also, the manga has more violent scenes that are in the novels but the anime skipped, like:

The fact that faKishward makes one of Sindhuran’s soldier swing his boss's head from his neck.

Conclusions: The anime changes and skips events a lot, whereas the
  manga sometimes adds an element/detail to the story rather than change it.
  The manga adds very little, and when it does it is unimportant stuff,
  it doesn’t remove much content and it doesn’t change things,
  making the manga a good adaptation of the novels. The scenes and even
  dialogues have been following Tanaka’s original work.

This is slightly off-topic, but I wanted to mention a couple of important things:

First and foremost, the fact that I wouldn’t consider fillers the few things that the second manga added. This is because according to Tanaka’s secretary, while working, Arakawa inquires what might be necessary. Obviously, some minor details are necessary to fit the manga format and make the illustrations and the like, but Arakawa is very respectful and consults Tanaka/his secretary, who’s always very eager to see the end result of the work. Based on twits and the like, I’m not sure who’s more in charge of the supervision though, his secretary (the guy that tends to speak for him in the media) or Tanaka, but that depends on how much involvement the original author wants to have (Unfortunately, he’s already 70 years old and has already hinted he would like to stop working altogether) Also, as I said before, because the adaptation is very good and faithful to the original work.

https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=97707

Second, the fact that the first manga was done by Chisato Nakamura, a girl that turned Arslan Senki into a shoujo manga (for girls). I started reading it, but I didn’t enjoy it very much and dropped it.
Third, the fact I would consider fillers what the anime changed or skipped. It was stated that the anime production consulted Tanaka before changing stuff, but personally, I would say it was just a technicality. There were some important changes, and I don’t think they should be given much thought even though Tanaka approved them and said that he is happy with them.
And last, the fact that Arslan Senki has had 3 illustrators so far. It’s extremely difficult for a novel series to get this kind of attention, and his novels even got an audiobook.

First manga:

Second manga:

Tanaka, Yoshiki (Story)
I personally hope a third season for the anime is made. I said that the anime’s adaptation is less faithful, but that is compared to the manga, by itself the anime’s adaptation is not so bad.
What I’m gonna quote comes from an interview to Arslan Senki’s anime protagonist actor, Kobayashi. This is my own translation, the interviews aren’t translated.
He starts complaining about how short second season was, not even 12 episodes.
「あともうちょっとやりたかったな」と口惜しいような気持ちも感じつつ、短くはありましたけど、充実した作品になったのではないかと思っています。

I felt kind of a missing feeling like “I wanted to do a little more”,
  but overall I think it turned out an enjoyable product.

But then he starts saying all the good things:
そして、もし3期があるんだったら、絶対にまた、成長した僕と成長したアルスラーンで、相乗効果を出すことができると思います。そういう風に、同じスタートで始まって、役と僕が同じように成長していく、不思議な作品です。
ーーアルスラーンの歩みと小林さんの歩みは重なっているんですね。
小林　本当に、いいタイミングで役をいただけました。僕にとっては、アルスラーンを見れば自分の成長具合がわかる。ひとつ、自分にとっての指標みたいな役です。ずっと大切にしていきたいです。

And if there is to be a 3rd season, grown up Arslan and me could
  absolutely bring synergetic effects to it. Just like that, my role and me
  both started from the same page and we’re able to grow up
  together. This is such wonderful work of art.
-So there is an overlap to you and Arslan’s growth.
Kobayashi: I got my role at a very good timing. Arslan’s growth reflects how much I have grown up. He’s like my role model. I’d like to cherish this role forever.

And then, he repeats how much he treasures the experience and how much he wants the anime to continue until it reaches the end of the series.
宝物だと思っている役と作品なので、最後まで丁寧に演じきりたい。… たとえ何歳になろうと、殿下を演じきりたいと僕は思っているんですよ。最後まで、アルスラーンと一緒に歩んで行きたい。『アルスラーン戦記』は僕にとってそんな作品です。
ーーまずは王都奪還の日を、楽しみにしております！　ありがとうございました！

This is my treasure. I’d like to continue playing this role till
  the end … No matter how old I become, I’d like to play a role as the
  prince and walk on our paths together. The Heroic Legend of Arslan is
  an art that makes me feel that way.
-First of all, I am looking forward to the day of the return of the kingdom! Thank you very much!

Now, will there be a season 3? According to the anime's series composer and script writer, it will depend on the support fans give Arslan Senki. If it were up to him, season 3 would be being made as we speak, but unfortunately he also mentioned a few months after season 2 had ended that sales were a bit short of what he had expected.
「皆さんが盛り上がってくだされば、すぐ3期が決まるかと思います！」（上江洲誠）

“If all of you get very excited, I’m sure season 3 will come
  immediately!” (Makoto Uezu)

How was Light able to maintain his academic performance?
After Light got the Death Note, he started writing criminals' names and killing them. Even after L made his first appearance and said that he would find Kira, then Light was thrilled up and accepted that as a challenge.
As we all know Light was the 1st performer in his academics from the start. But when he got the Death Note, then he was certainly spending a lot of time on planning how to kill, and also observing how the Death Note works. But even after all this pressure of killing and L coming to find him, he maintained his academic performance.
So does that mean Light was so talented that even without studying he was able to come first in his academics, or was he spending enough time in academics as well? Is there anything specified in the anime or manga about how he was managing his time between his studies and by writing names in the Death Note so that he would not get caught?

He was pretty talented in studies and I think he could afford to spend a lot of time off it. He did say at the start of the series that he was bored in life. It could probably be because he was at the top of everything he did. Besides, he scheduled the time of death for his victims so he could write the names of many criminals at once and then spend the rest of his time on academics.

Light was the top in his class is academics and also in tennis, which just goes to characterization to express the point that he is the all around A+ student. On top of all that Light also works as a civilian consultant for the police and he employs his amazing logical deductions to help him solve crimes. Again this goes to show that Light is extremely intelligent, very hard working, and can multi-task exceptionally well. There is a scene where L has Light's room bugged and Light is using one hand to do his math home-work while his other hand writes names to kill people, as if it were nothing. Light was able to keep up his grades because the tests and work he was doing was beneath his intelligence and might as well have been "what is 2+2" because that's how easy Light's classes were to him.
Over time Light starts to go psychotic as the stress finally gets to him and he's trying to get all suspicion away from him as he tries to kill L and I believe that's because Light has never really been challenged or stressed before; for the first time ever Light is having a hard time controlling the situation and at first he enjoys having to actually try but as the series progresses he fades into madness as he can't control the situation and he refuses to accept that as an answer because he is used to being on top of everything and never getting over-whelmed.

I also think that in one episode, he tells Ryuk that he cannot just keep writing names in the notebook. He has to study also to keep up with his grades, and I think he tells Ryuk that he spends part of the day on academics and uses the rest of the time for writing the names. It's been some time since I watched Death Note, but I guess that this is what he did, and that he could not let his grades drop since that would also lead to suspicion.

How come Koro sensei had tomato juice inside jail?
In Assassination Classroom Season 2, episode 8, Tadaomi was fighting with Reaper, and then there was one incident where he faked his death from blood loss with the help of Koro-sensei. And then later it is shown that Koro-sensei was drinking tomato juice, and with the help of his one tentacles he faked that scene and helped Tadaomi.
So my question is: how did he get that tomato juice? Is it possible that he was keeping it from the start, or did he try to escape and then got one?

Explained in the manga:

He bought it beforehand.

please see our policy on copyrighted material: http://meta.anime.stackexchange.com/questions/404/how-do-we-deal-with-copyrighted-material-on-our-site. I removed your link, but you may like to replace it with a more legitimate source

Sorry about that. But I don't have the manga and how would I go about this? I guess he'll have to search it himself.

Koro-sensei was

 the legendary assassin called Death God.

In assassination it is important to know your enemy (name, skill, habits, etc), and location (geographic, building structure, surroundings) to ensure that the assassination can be do successfully.
It was revealed later that the current Death God

 was Koro-sensei's first student.

which means that Koro-sensei knows perfectly well the extend of his abilities.
Thus, it is very possible that Koro-sensei had the tomato juice prepared beforehand. This fits the fact that they are underground, which means that Koro shouldn't be able to get tomato juice there.

This is the semi-logical deduction after watching the anime. I don't think it was particularly stated at all why and how he had a bottle of tomato juice.

Possibility I agree, also there were many scene where the creator showed various events in well detailed for example, when students were giving exam then for every question they were showing it like those students were battling with whole army. So in simple words there are few events were they tried to explain few events in much attractive way. So it might be possible that it is something related like that just to add some fun and making it more attractive.

Order to watch the Danganronpa series? Is there a "Danganronpa 2"?
This season there are 2 simultaneous Danganronpa shows, both of which are prefaced with "Danganronpa 3".  The first series in the franchise is "Danganronpa: Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei".
I'm not clear on if there is a second series anywhere, or if the number 3 was just added to the names of both the new series.
Wikipedia says

A second anime series, titled Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School, began airing in July 2016. The series is split into two simultaneously airing parts; Side: Future, which serves as a conclusion to the "Hope's Peak Academy" storyline, and Side: Despair, which serves as a prequel to Danganronpa 2

which is clear as mud.  I am unable to find information on "Danganronpa 2", though I would expect one to be a prequel to the first series, and the other to maybe be a side story or a post story.

What order should I watch Danganronpa in?
For the current series, does it matter which episode I watch first from each of the simultaneous ones (the "Future Arc" started airing before the "Despair Arc")?
Does the Wiki page confuse "Danganronpa 2" with the manga/LN material?

When it says it'll serves as a prequel to Danganronpa 2 I assume it's talking about the PSVita game Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Dispair. the first Danganronpa anime was an adaptation of the first game and I'm not sure what adaptations the Danganronpa 2 stuff are to the second game having not read/seen any of the anime/manga/light novels

Okay, so this actually gets a little complicated.
Instead of watching the anime for the first game, I would watch a let's play or pick it up on Steam when it's on sale (it's worth it, trust me).  As far as an actual order to get the most out of the story the order I would go is:

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls (this has spoilers for SDR2)

All of this is pretty standard so far.  But here is where things get complicated.  After 2 comes Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy which is set during 2 different timelines that are two different complementary series.  The idea is that you alternate between the two of them starting with Side Future, then Side Despair so your order would be F1, D1, F2, D2, etc...
After that you'll be all caught up for the release of Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony this summer.

I'm pretty sure it's like this:
Danganronpa 3: Despair Arc first.
Then the remnants of despair (students in Danganronpa 3) ruin world while Danganronpa: The Animation/Trigger Happy Havoc is going on.
Niegi and others escape and successfully capture the remnants. While they are, the events in New Despair Girsls are taking place.
As Danganronpa 3: Future Arc starts, the remnants are currently in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair.
When Danganronpa 3 ends, Niegi, Kirigiri, and Byakuya head into Danganronpa 2 to help the former remnants. This isn't the order to watch or anything, but it is the chronology.

The anime are actually pretty much a secondary product to the DR games.

In order to watch the Danganronpa series, you should play the games before watching the Danganronpa 1 and Danganronpa 2 anime. The games are called:

Danganronpa 1

and

Danganronpa 2

After that watch Danganronpa 3 anime and then play the Danganronpa 3 game.

No matter how you look at it, the story doesn't really make sense unless you play the games, as the anime was made for the people who have already played the games.(At least the Danganronpa 3 anime was, the Danganronpa 1 anime is just an adaptation of the first game.)

To be honest, the correct order of watching it is: (From top to bottom)

Future Arc
Despair Arc
Hope

By watching alternately, it makes more sense but the proper way to watch is: (From top to bottom)

Future
Despair
Hope

Danganronpa 1/trigger happy havoc (danganronpa: the animation?)
danganronpa 2: goodbye despair
Danganronpa: ultra despair girls
danganronpa 3: future , despair , hope. (< in order)
danganronpa: the end of hope’s peak academy(?)
Danganronpa V3: killing harmony
danganronpa anime(?)

Welcome to A&M, could you elaborate a bit on this order?
Is this the chronological order? The order of release?

Why can't Naruto go into Bijuu mode like the other Jinchuuriki?
Instead, he forms a transparent cloak in the size of the Bijuu, but doesn't get a full form like other Jinchuuriki. Even when fighting Pain , he went up to the 8th tail and got Kurama's real body in a sort of skinned form.

does him making a giant toad look like Kurama with his physical characteristic count?

no, that time he makes the toad transform. i'm asking why he doesnt have a    bijuu form like killerB has 8tails

I am fairly certain Naruto did turn full kyuubi once, all though he was not in control himself.

can you tel any reference to that happening? like episode number or with whom he was battling?@dimitri mx

The 9-tailed beast is the strongest of all the beasts save for the 10-tail. When he fought Obito in the great shinobi war arc he formed a stronger relationship with Kurama and brought out the full power of his biju form. Or am I reading into this question wrong?

@Hikari He means why doesn't Naruto turn into a full Bijuu form. Meaning, a form that looks exactly like a released Bijuu, like Hachibi can.

he did transform to Kyuubi when trapped by Pein's Chibaku Tensei.

but because he still not conquering his dark side he lose control.

@NamikazeSheena ya he did. That is why i asked why he is not transforming like that now after he conquered his darkside.

I think this question is sufficiently answered. If you're asking, "Why his transformation is different from other Jinchuriki?" Then this is a duplicate.  http://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/3314/why-do-kurama-and-gyuki-appear-as-chakra-while-other-bijuu-dont

There have been a lot of incomplete answers. Let us try to combine what all we know. This will be spoiler heavy for those who haven't finished the Manga/Anime
TL;DR. When he first used Nine Tales Chakra he COULDN'T go into Bijuu mode. He could once Kurama agreed to work together.

Naruto is the jinchūriki of Kurama's Yang half. Due to his Uzumaki lineage and being Kurama's jinchūriki his entire life, Naruto's chakra has more effectively mixed with the fox's, allowing him to perform several chakra-taxing techniques without feeling fatigued.
While accessing Kurama's chakra, typically through sheer rage, enhanced Naruto's fighting abilities, the fox's negative influence made Naruto more aggressive and in less control of his actions. This caused him to uncontrollably access Version 1(Tails 1-3 for Naruto) and Version 2 (Tails 4-8 for Naruto) for forms, and needed Kurama's power to be suppressed through various methods to regain control

Version 1 – or what Jiraiya calls Naruto's "demon fox cloak" (妖狐の衣, yōko no koromo) – forms a dense shroud of chakra around the jinchūriki. The shroud, a translucent red with bubbles of chakra (reminiscent of boiling liquid) forming all along it, provides a degree of physical protection, but can also harm the user if used to a certain extent. The physical changes experienced in the initial transformation become more pronounced in Version 1 forms.

Version 2 (バージョン2, Bājon Tsū), as described by Sabu, is the tailed beast's chakra being converted into a humanoid shape, granting the jinchūriki an edge in battle without completely releasing the beast itself. Using the jinchūriki's body as a sort of endoskeleton, a dark red, nearly black layer of chakra envelops them. The physical manifestations of the corresponding beast that are vaguely present in Version 1 states become far clearer in Version 2, in a way fully reproducing the beast in miniature: muscle mass increases and beast-specific attributes such as shells and ears become clearly defined.

Realising he could not avoid using Kurama's power, Naruto sought to learn how to control it with help from Killer B, the jinchūriki of Gyūki, and unexpectedly, his own mother, Kushina. Upon succeeding and taking most of Kurama's chakra, Naruto attains Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, which greatly increases his speed, strength, and defences. Because he didn't yet have Kurama's cooperation, however, Naruto needed to exercise extreme caution while using the form, as it could cost him his life. He can't do the Bijuu Transformation at this point

After earning Kurama's cooperation, Naruto can enter the Tailed Beast Mode, but the mode, though accurate in size, is unique as he does not as closely resemble the beast as the other jinchūriki do their own. For all intents and purposes, Kurama Mode is a completed version of Nine-Tails Chakra Mode: Tailed Beast Mode without the full transformation, meaning that Naruto is able to use Tailed Beast Balls

With the power given to him by Hagoromo, Naruto gained access to the Six Paths Sage Mode (六道仙人モード, Rikudō Sennin Mōdo). In this mode, his eyes become yellow and his pupils take on a cross-like shape — without manifesting the orange pigmentation around his eyes present in Sage Mode. Naruto can also don a new chakra cloak similar to Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, which he can access instantly and maintain much longer than Sage Mode. Naruto's Six Paths Sage Mode cloak changes several times throughout his later years

We see Naruto's Bijuu ability multiple times throughout Boruto movie. He protect the village by stopping the Bijuu Dama kind of attack. Later he and Sasuke combine Kurama mode with Susanoo.

Now to answer the completely DIFFERENT and Duplicate question. From Reading the comments.
- Why do Kurama and Gyuki appear as chakra while other bijuu don't?
- Another theory is that Naruto's special seal devised by the 4th Hokage causes this. He used the Uzumaki techniques to create the seal. This is why he also appears in a similar Bijuu form as Naruto. Thus, this is a host specific form and NOT Jinchuriki specific. And yeah, Naruto is special.
Reddit for this discussion. Contains Jiraiya's And B's comments on special nature of Naruto's seal
Sources: Naruto Uzumaki Jinchuriki Forms 9-tails Chakra Mode

The answer is he can but chooses not to, instead he uses the six path sage mode which is the chakra coat and everything. in the movie Naruto the last, you can see that he summoned kurama to fight and draw symbols on the moon, this shows he can use kurama whenever he feels.
the direct quote from naruto wikia
Six Paths Sage Mode (六道仙人モード, Rikudō Sennin Mōdo) is a form which empowers the user's abilities to a far greater extent by utilising the Six Paths Sage Chakra. It is a divine state gifted by Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki to those who have an iron faith and the guts to never give up.the one consistent hallmark of Six Paths Sage Mode are Naruto's eyes: his eyes are yellow, his pupils are a cross of vertical fox-slits with horizontal toad-slats, and there is no pigmentation around his eyes that would otherwise signify standard Sage Mode. Naruto retains the ability to enter Tailed Beast Mode, which, in terms of strength, is comparable to Sasuke Uchiha's Complete Body — Susanoo, thanks to Six Paths Sage Chakra. Through the use of shadow clones, Naruto has shown the ability to combine three Kurama avatars into a single construct with three faces and six arms, which greatly resembles his ancestor Asura Ōtsutsuki's own chakra avatar.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the answer @Dragon . if naruto did go into six paths sage mode then why didnt he show the full Bijuu  form when he didnt have the six path sage mode(i.e) before guy fight with madara. if i'm right , during that fight only he met hagoromo and got the power of six paths. please correct me if i'm wrong

@Bej at the time did he have full control over kurama yet? i can't quite remember, because he went to train with eight tails then kurama decided to help naruto and after that was when naruto started to actually use kurama's powers properly, before he was just using sage mode and only ask for kurama's help when he is desperate or raging, please correct me if i'm wrong

.If i remember it right naruto got out of that turtle island to join the great ninja war only after mastering his evil side and befriending kurama too. He was using kurama to the full extent when madara got the power of sixpaths.

@Bej was kurama with the eight tails fighting as well

@Bej also i forgot to mention, the six path sage mode is the final mode, naruto combined the normal sage mode and the kyuubi mode together, this is used also in the fight with nagato

i dont remember any combining of those two powers. maybe i have to watch it again. All i remember from that fight is naruto giving nagato a lonnnnnnnnng speech and winning the battle. anyway thanks for the effort.

@Bej at the end where Naruto finally meets Nagato, nagato gives a long speech and gives everyone's soul back. during that you get some scenes showing Naruto's eyes and it had a cross, the toad eye which is the horizontal and kurama's eye which is vertical, that is combining sage mode with kyuubi mode

I believe it's because Naruto only has half of Kuramas chakara, Miniato  couldn't do it as well, unlike the rest of the Jinchuurikis they carry both halves of the Jinchuuriki and it's chakara therefore they can transform into jinchuuriki itself and not a cloak.

Either way, I don't believe yin or yang have anything to do with a full on physical transformation for Kurama. Yes in two movies Naruto DID do a full on transformation into physical nine tails form but then again they are movies and really don't fill into the show since the show itself never brings up things that happen in movies or retain what they learn from them.
Back to the point! Naruto/Kurama have gone physical nine tail form in the Pain fight when Naruto was stuck in planetary devastation, as you see in Yamato's hand during that part Naruto was in stage nine. Even with just Yang side of Kurama and also without sage of six paths mode. Basically we only see full on physical nine tails Kurama (just skinned) ONCE in the whole series but never again. Still nothing explains on why Naruto can't just go physical nine tails mode again like the other jinchuuriki could or why he uses a chakra based form instead.

It's probably because half of the 9 tails is in minato. Anyhow in the last movie naruto used the power of the nine tails completely instead of using a chakra cloak. That may be because either he took the other half or just because the movie was a non canon. The other answer can be that naruto can go to either mode whenever he wants to. Hope this helps :)

I think you want to know why he don't look like the fox that attacked on konoha while lord 3rd and 4th fought him or etc.  One answer for your question can be, kurama was never fully inside naruto's body. If you remember correctly half chakra of kurama was inside minato which he revealed in great ninja war(the yin half). This can be reason for naruto to never go in full bijuu form or to obtain a real physical body but just a cloak of chakra.
Another reason i can say that kyubi is strongest of all other beasts and his owner naruto is main character . So just to differentiate the power levels and keep main character and his beast separate from general crowd kishimoto might designed him to look that way only. :P hope this helps!

Thanks for the answer @spark. But didnt minato give his half (the yin half) of kurama to naruto during the great ninja war? Then why didnt we see the original form after that instead of the cloak?. For me the second explanation  of yours since kishimoto wanted to show naruto all the more special than others. sorry for my bad english by the way.

He can go to the bijuu mode. Just take a look at this screenshot from episode 392 (The Hidden Heart):

However, cloak mode is a lot more convenient if you want to dodge attacks, go inside a cave, or do delicate tasks.

He can't, possibly because only half of Kurama, the Yang half, was sealed inside of his body. The other half of Kurama, the Yin half, was sealed inside of Minato.
However, in the battle against Madara Uchiha and the Ten-Tails, he ALMOST made it to full Bijuu mode.

during that battle didn't minato give his part of kurama to naruto to save him? Then why didn't he show the full Bijuu mode after that?

Where did the phrase "Gotta catch 'em all" come from?
The slogan for Pokémon was "gotta catch 'em all". But I have never heard that when I was watching Pokémon in the Japanese original with Chinese sub. The Japanese phrase was something along the lines of "Pokémon, caught!" (ポケモンゲットだぜー). Another phrase was also "my goal, Pokémon master!" (めざせポケモンマスター ).
Where did the English phrase come from?

「ポケモンゲットだぜー」 can be reasonably translated as "Gotta get the pokemon", and 「めざせポケモンマスター」 as "Aim to be a pokemon master!" which are extremely close to the phrases they ultimately chose.

It’s just the best catch-phrase they could come up with?

@Jan i guess, but still, because of the slogan, people keep calling ash trash because he never caught them all and as a fan of pokemon the anime, it kinda hurts

None of the two puns intended =D

@Jan i realize that i thank you for putting your time into this but i didn't blame the company for the catch phrase, the hate on ash just got me curious

Where  does this phrase comes from?
According to Bulbapedia, this phrase is a rough translation from the Japanese games :

The Japanese equivalent is Get Pokémon! (Japanese: ポケモンゲットだぜー！ Pokémon get da ze~!, also spelt ポケモンＧＥＴだぜー！)

When did the phrase Gotta catch 'em all first appeared?
While the previous answers are correct, it is important to notice that this phrase first appeared on both anime and game.
You can see on the North America's and European's version of the Gameboy game Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue the same phrase :

But which one of the anime or the game came first?
As @DavePhD mentionned in the comments, Gotta catch 'em all is a registered trademark. One of its first registration on June 23, 1998 mentions

entertainment services, namely, arranging and conducting competitions in the field of playing video games; stage presentations; video game presentations relating to video games; production, presentation, distribution, and syndication of animation, motion picture films, and television programs; and production and presentation of video tapes

which includes both the anime and the game. So we can say that Gotta catch 'em all appeared with the general airing of Pokemon in the United States.
Note that the first episode was broadcasted before the game was released in the United States : the TV Show was aired on September 8, 1998 while the game was first sold on September 28, 19981.

1 Wikipedia links : the first episode and the games

On 23 June 1998 Nintendo applied for a trademark in the US for "Gotta catch 'em all" for "entertainment services, namely, arranging and conducting competitions in the field of playing video games; stage presentations; video game presentations relating to video games; production, presentation, distribution, and syndication of animation, motion picture films, and television programs; and production and presentation of video tapes", application serial number 75507361.  Other applications were filed the same day for the phrase for clothes, food, etc.

The phrase comes from the English theme song of the animated series. The chorus is as follows:
Pokemon, gotta catch 'em all
Its you and me
I know it's my destiny
Pokemon, oh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokemon, gotta catch 'em all
A heart so true
Our courage will pull us through

You can listen to it on youtube.

It comes from the folk song Dance me a Jig, which is based upon events in 1863 in South Carolina during the American Civil War.

I didn't want no posses chasing after me,
  So I took all the livestock and set 'em free,
  Now master's so mad that he's liable to bust,
  'Cause he gotta catch 'em all while I'm kicking up dust.

See also the 1950 publication "Sing Out!".

OK, but what's the connection to Pokemon? The use of the same phrase might be coincidental.

@DJPirtu My only point really is that the pokemon song wasn't the first song to use the phrase.

@DavePhD That wasn't what was being asked.  The context implies the origin of the lyrics with respect to the series and games.

Why weren't Puck and Emilia surprised when Subaru called out Emillia's spirit to protect her in episode 3?
Why weren't Puck and Emilia surprised when Subaru called out Emillia's spirit to activate the crystal shield?

After Subaru returned after his death, he hadn't made any contact with those two, Puck and Emilia, whatsoever. In that situation, how come Emilia never asked about how Subaru knew what her spirit companion's (Puck) name was and for how long it could stay active/on duty.

no one could answer, so I'll assume this part's story was flawed.

It is discuss by Emilia and Pack in the after event of the fight with Elsa (Chibi Short 3). Where Emilia ask Pack how come he respond to Subaru call and ask if they knew each other. Pack answer with a no but hearing his name being shouted upon cause him to be quickly summoned to aid Emilia.
Pack also answer that Subaru was sincerely just there to aid her noticing no sign of malevolent and ill intent on Subaru. and if he ever did, Pack will annihilate Subaru himself.

hmm oh yeah now I see ! thanks for your answer !

How does Brook stay together?
Bones are kept together in the body by muscles and tendons. Since Brook has none of those, how does he stay together and move? Especially with him being able to open his skull, how does he not fall apart?

Thats anime logic! XD Still i'd like to know if there really is an answer for this question. +1!

According to me his bones are together because of Devil fruit only.
According to this link:

As long as his bones are not hurt any attacks will not go to his core
  like when Zeo beheaded Brook, his soul managed to repair it and
  connect his bones together again.

Also note

Also, due to the Devil Fruit powers allowing it, Brook also has the
  ability to store objects in his skull by opening it along its crack.
  While Brook is able to do these things because of his Devil Fruit supported form

He has also mastered the energy his soul emits to the extent that he can reattach his bones by using this energy such as when he is beheaded he then attaches his head back with the help of it.
So because of his Devil Fruit power he managed to master and realized the true nature of Yomi Yomi no Mi and because of this only he is able to keep his bones together.

Could it be because of his devil fruit?
Probably not, as it was simply allowing his soul to enter his body again in order to live a second life. If he managed to find his body sooner he wouldn't be a skeleton (his soul got lost because of the heavy fog and too much time passed before he found his corpse). Funnily, we can wonder what would have happened if he died in an explosion or if his body was dispersed into the sea somehow.
It could be argued that the DF remained in his soul and fused with his body again in order to make it hold together.
Can we consider it is his soul which keeps his body together?
Edit: found a source in chapter 643 page 8 : http://z.mfcdn.net/store/manga/106/65-643.0/compressed/j008.jpg
==> it is indeed his soul and not his DF which maintains his bones together! So even though his soul can wander outside of his body through out-of-body experiences, it's his soul who maintains everything.

How does Guy know how to perform the jutsu in the Eight Gates Released Formation?
I know that if you open the 8th Gate, you will get enormously powerful but at the end you will die.
In that case, how did Guy know Jutsu that can be performed in that state, given that against Madara was the first time he ever opened it? You can't just invent new Jutsu on the fly.

Also, how does he actually know how to open the gates? Presumably he hasn't done that before either, unless there's a way to practice and reverse the process (or something of the sort) before dying.

As for i know , during the filler about Guy, his dad defended him from the seven swordsmen of the mist using a secret and forbidden technique. I thought this was how Guy came to know about the 8 gates opening jutsu.

Yeah, but finding out about a technique and mastering it are two completely different issues.

His father, who was a regular dude, learned about this jutsu just by pure training. So it can assumed that his son Might Guy can do it after knowing that such a jutsu exists.

You're missing the point. Even in the case of his father: how did he know how to master the technique, if mastering the technique brings about death to its user? How can you practice a technique like that? How do you know you've mastered it?

Guy's father taught him when he was a child how to open the Eight Gates, what Duy called the only thing he'd learned during his decades of training that was worth passing to Guy.[6]  I found this , in his wikia. But this too doesn't clear the fact as to how the jutsu was first found.

Are you asking about the origins of the Eight Gates technique or the origins of the taijutsu techniques ((Evening Elephant / Night Guy)) used during the Eight Gates Released Formation?

They're asking for the latter, @RFKomos :P I introduced the former in the comment section; it's not mentioned in the actual question.

Related: http://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/20957/how-do-you-train-in-a-jutsu-that-kills-you-if-used

maybe you can survive the 8th gate if you close it before it can wreck your body.

Okay, it's hard to explain, and i might not even be right, but I'll try my best. Sadly, there's no tldr.
What's different? Guy didn't invent the jutsu in the sense that Kakashi invented the Chidori. Kakashi spent years perfecting it. It's something he initially needed to use hand signs to perform every time.
Why?
The jutsus (more specifically taijutsu techniques) Guy used — Evening Elephant (Sekizo) and Night Guy — are byproducts of attacking with all eight gates opened. It's not something you have to learn; it's something you are just able to do with that much power flooding from your body.
The jutsu are just names he used to describe the phenomenon of having incredibly OP punches and kicks that can also generate a dragon-like aura (for some reason). He didn't actually know what would happen, unless he witnessed his dad do the same thing and he told Rock Lee what it was like.
Evidence From Narutopedia (Sekizo, Night Guy):

The Evening Elephant ... can be performed by those users who have
opened all Eight Gates.
The Night Guy ... can only be performed by
opening all Eight Gates.

^ They imply that it's something that you can naturally do with the eight gates opened.

When Guy initiates the technique, he emits an enormous amount of
chakra ... the blood vapour of the Eighth Gate manifests into a red,
flickering dragon-like aura ... He then dashes forward at such an
extreme speed that the space within the immediate vicinity of the
technique is distorted, making it impossible for the target to defend
against it. Guy then deals an immensely powerful kick which carries
such force that it is capable of obliterating the target's body...

^ Essentially, Guy is gathering power, running really fast, and kicking really hard. That's not really something that you have to practice and invent, like the Rasen-shuriken.
Examples: Kinda like when Obito and Madara became the Ten-tails Jinchuriki. They could do all this fancy truth-seeking ball stuff. Not because they spent time learning it, but because they were just able to, with the help of Ten-tails and huge sage power. Or when Naruto was able to heal people and Sasuke was able to teleport as soon as they got Hagoromo's chakra.
Sigh... Nevertheless, there are too many caveats and exceptions in the Naruto universe. Everything they say isn't necessarily true (e.g. Gaara's absolute defence is not absolute, Hashirama's unique wood release can be used by several other people). I mean, your first sentence is refuted by the fact that Guy actually survived (thanks to Naruto). So it's quite hard to make sense of anything.
More info - If you're not satisfied, look at this guy's explanation, which is good in the sense that it uses common sense: How do you train in a jutsu that kills you if used?

I dont think that is what OP wants though. My answer is practically the same and OP does not like it.

@Ryan its not that i didn't like your answer. I just thought that there be would some kind of explanation. Rather than a hole in the story.

To add on to this, Night Guy was basically a superpowered Dynamic Entry, so it was an incredibly practiced technique for Guy. Evening Elephant used the same principles as Hirudora (( attacking with forceful blasts of air)) and with the fact that Guy is a Taijutsu Prodigy, it's not unreasonable to assume he could extend that application to something more powerful in the Eight Gates Released Formation.

@Bej unfortunatly that is something you need to expect from most stories in general, Its practically true of real life, you can only go so small before you need to just believe what you see. There are thousands of questions you could ask about the Naruto Universe, but few people ask them because they are just a part of the world. Where did the God tree come from, what about chakra, the afterlife, How humans can be so physically strong. No one asks such questions, we just accept that such things are how the naruto world works.

To understand how Guy managed to master the Hachimon Tonkou (Eight Gates Release Formation), let us take a look to how jutsus are learned in Narutoverse.
There are 3 ways a jutsu can be learned.

Learn it from a teacher.
Learn it from a scroll/book.
Learn it yourself (a.k.a. invent it).

Learn it from a teacher
This might be the easiest way to learn a jutsu. You have a teacher teach you how to perform a certain jutsu. Most ninja learn jutsu this way through the academy. Example of jutsus learned through this method: Bunshin no Jutsu, Kawarimi no Jutsu, Sasuke learning Chidori from Kakashi, Naruto learning Rasengan from Jiraiya.
Learn it from a scroll/book
This is a method that is harder than the first method. You learn it from a book. I no longer have the copy with me but my father used to have a book that teaches kungfu moves. In that book there are explanations and illustrations on how to perform certain moves. You learn the techniques by performing as the book says. Example of jutsus learned through this method: Naruto learning Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, Orochimaru learning various jutsus using scrolls he stole from the library.
Learn it yourself (a.k.a. invent it)
This method might be the hardest of the 3. You learn the jutsu by creating it yourself. You can invent it through seeing natural phenomena or other people performing a certain jutsu, copy it and change several aspects of it to make your own jutsu using the same principles. Example of jutsus learned through this method: Minato learning Rasengan, Kakashi learning Chidori/Raikiri, Naruto learning Rasen Shuriken, Tobirama learning Kage Bunshi no Jutsu.
How does Guy knows how to perform jutsus in the Hachimon Tonkou?
To answer this we need to identify how Guy learned the jutsu and his training method. Guy learned the jutsu from Might Duy, his father. Guy's training method consists of extreme physical training, such as walking around the village for 500 laps using his hands, thousands sit ups and image training. The image training was mentioned in the manga (and perhaps the anime as well) as one of methods he used to train himself with the reasoning being training his ability to predict enemy movements. Guy also trains by sparring with Kakashi to enhance his fighting senses.
Since Hachimon Tonkou is a taijutsu, let's talk about real life taijutsu training. Taijutsu in real world, such as Kungfu, Karate, Kendo are mastered through training the said moves. A complete newbie can perform Iai Slash, but they would perform it badly as they only copy the movement in general. What differentiates a master from those newbies is that they perform the same move over and over through training until they can use the move with super precision (perfect foot-steps, sword drawing timing, slashing direction, power, speed).
Might Guy might learned the jutsus used in Hachimon Tonkou by learning the moves itself in normal state or 7th gate release state, which is the closest he can get to without killing himself. He learned the jutsu by training the moves over and over in the 7th gate release state while also doing image training since he can't perform the jutsu for real. Combining that with the points I bold above and fighting sense honed through experience of real combat and sparring with one of the best shinobi ever (Hatake Kakashi), it is very possible for him to perform the jutsus splendidly despite that being the very first time he used it for real because he already mastered the basics to perform that.
It is the same as when you do a chemistry practical test at school despite knowing only the theory (including the steps). Can you do it? Yes, but it might be a bit sloppy since you never do it for real. If you have practiced the movements (pouring the chemicals, measuring it, using the pipette) using a substitute liquid (like water for example) you would be able to perform it greatly even if that was the first time you use the chemicals.

Though this is a bit dissapointing, we do not fully know the truth. We do know for a fact that Guy's Father Duy was in the same situation as he was, but was weaker (the eternal genin). He learned the Eight gates from an unknown source. Duy claims it took him 20 years to master the eight gates. The only piece of knoledge we have on the subject is simply summarized to:

By undergoing intense training, one can learn how to open these gates allowing the user to surpass their own physical limits at the cost of extreme damage to their own body.

In the same paragraph on the wiki, the Gates

limit the overall flow of chakra within a person's body. The basis for the idea of the chakra gates comes from the body's limits on the functions within it. This makes the body much weaker, but it keeps the body from expiring too soon.

So we know that the Gates are simply, Literally, Chakra limiters, and Chakra flow increases strength, speed, and other physical traits. In the anime, it is shown that to open the gates, you need only Overload them, which forces them open. Therefor, it does make sense that one who spends years if not decades training intensely, like Duy or Guy, would eventually accidentally overload the first one. it is also possible to do so if they are in battle in a critical moment. Either way, Knowing there are gates (sharinan and byakugan can see chakra flow, so they can probably also see the gates) and learning they can be opened through force is probably all you need to open at least the first 7. Guy has been shown to open several at once, and for the first 7 only ever had to clench his muscles to do so. The first 7 can probably just be opened by sheer force which can be learned and mastered by training.
The problem then is simply the 8th gate, which is shown to require a puncture to the gate itself, which is located in the heart. The issue is simply how they could figure that out. As we know, there has only been one master of the gates at a time, so there are 2 likely senarios, either 1, they watch their master use it (Guy knew his dad was going to use the 8th gate against the 7 Ninja Swordsman) and witnessed it, realizing that was the key to opening the gate. The second idea is simply that they cant force it open, either through lack of training (to not risk accidentally activating it) or its just locked that hard, and the puncture works to make it easier to open. If you know about openin the first 7, it is completely understandable that you would figure out how to make it easier to open, though I doubt you want to puncture yourself every time, except when you do not expect to live long without doing so.
The last thing to think about is the Moves he uses. Well like almost every move besides Rasen Shuriken were invented off screen. By who and what we do not know, But what is clear is that Guy can not use Ninjutsu, as well as Lee. Every Jutsu they used was some kind of Taijutsu, usually a simple punch or kick, sometimes enhanced with the power of the Gates.
Morning Peacock was simply punches so fast that the air friction alone set them ablaze.
Daytime Tiger merely used the strength to compress a massive amount of air into a very small point, then release it in a massive shockwave.
Evening Elephant was to create air cannons with your punches
Night Guy Was nothing more than a Chakra enhanced Super kick.
In the end, all these moves are Simple punches or kicks, which could be performed at lower or any level, with or without gates, but with reduced effectiveness. Like most forbidden Jutsu, They were also likely written down in scrolls, recorded as useful/effective moves, but with high risks attached. It only takes one time to test a move, and one survivor to record it. We also know Might Duy had reached all 8 gates, so he could also have had time to invent some of these moves. Beyond that, We are just looking at fairly simple moves, for a guy that is undeniably a Genius Taijutsu specialist, and only 2 of them are doable in the 8th gate, both of which are just a punch and Kick, simple moves in principle.

Thanks for the effort, but it still doesn't answer my question, how did he know about the different jutsus that can be performed in the 8th gate opened state?

well, They all were just basic punches and kicks, enhanced by the Gates. I will add some details soon

The Naruto wiki would disagree with you, @Ryan: they list those techniques as "derived" from the Eight Gates Released Formation — if you look at their pages, they refer to it as their "parent jutsu."

I too am not convinced by your answer @ryan. If they are just ordinary punches and kicks, then these jutsus must be present and used in all the 8 gates since each gate give you a certain amount of power instead of only the 8th gate. I think this is a serious plot hole in the series.

@Bej each gate powers you up. Just because you can throw a punch does not mean you can throw it fast enough to light it on fire due to friction. They also are not equivalent since you did not know. The first gate only removes the brains restraint on the muscles. no other gate can do that. every gate is completely unique and offers a significant power boost. so significant in fact that guy did not have the power necessary to perform such maneuvers on lower gates. Guy never gets visibly stronger in the series, just opens more gates.

@jNat Derived jutsu only mean that the parent was used in some way to perform the Derived Jutsu. RasenShuriken is a rasengan, but jutsu like Shadow clone have no direct parent, despite Obviously being a Clone Jutsu. The gates are inbetween, its not that the Jutsu are special or unique, but rather that the strength and speed required to use them is impossible without the gates. No one but Guy lights their own fists on fire due to shear friction, because the speed required is so great that only guy with 6 gates can do it. "punches are so fast, they are set ablaze by sheer speed and friction"wiki

@JNat Its the same with all the other descriptions on The wiki itself. Morning Peacock is just a Taijutsu combo of a upward kick, then many super high speed punches. Such jutus only exist because of the eight gates, but to learn how to do them, you need only know how to do the basic taijustsu combination, Sasukes Lions barage first kick followed by a simple 1-2 punch combo. If you want to light your fists on fire however,  you need speed only Guy has ever shown. no one else has ever been that fast without cheating via teleportation.
