How is Walpurgisnacht's appearance predicted?
We know that throughout the series the Puella Magi can only search for witches and don't actually know where they will appear ahead of time (Mami named places she searched and had to trace the witch with her Soul Gem), unless they get lucky and find a grief seed of a newborn witch (like the one Madoka and Sayaka found at the hospital).
Homura was able to know where Walpurgisnacht would appeared because she had prior knowledge from coming from the future.
However, in the first timeline, Mami knew Walpurgisnacht was coming and was training Madoka in preparation for the battle. Is it explained how she or Madoka knew?

I assumed all the information came from QB. He'd know of major events in the system. And WN seemed a good way for some forced suffering. I'm not currently sure if there is any explanation in interviews or materials.

As a matter of fact, Kyoko asked Homura the same question regarding Walpurgisnacht's appearance, to which Homura responds with a single word:

Statistics.

Well... I think you can take Akemi Homura's word for it. She has experienced so many timelines, planning and fighting the Walpurgisnacht witch, gradually learning more and more about it every time.
I suppose she's done a lot of data analytics about the witch with all the information she has collected throughout the timelines! Graphs, annotated sketches of the Walpurgisnacht witch and maps of Mitakihara city feature at Homura's residence. Also note that among the timelines shown, all of them place the fight scene of magical girls vs the Walpurgisnacht witch in one of the lakes/water bodies of Mitakihara city.
Here's Homura indicating the location of the witch...

Edit:
I would suggest that Mami knew about Walpurgis in the first timeline of episode 10 only because Kyubey said so. After all, the Incubators do plant grief seeds across the city, which hatch into witches. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the Walpurgisnacht was the work of the Incubators. In all their advanced technology and magic, the Incubators may even fabricate grief seeds which has the essence of an agglomerate of regular witches...

But does this explain how Mami and/or Madoka knew about Walpurgisnacht's coming in the first timeline? as per the question "in the first timeline, Mami knew Walpurgisnacht was coming and was training Madoka in preparation for the battle"

@Memor-X Oh yeah, I've updated the answer. Remember, If something goes wrong, blame it on kyubey...

There is slight nuance here. Walpurgisnight is a natural phenomenon that happens all the time. Just like places where hurricanes happen occasionally, you are going to encounter one sooner or later if you start living there. Mami knew Walpurgisnight will come sooner or later. She just didn't know when and where. It might have been next week or next year.
Homura on the other hand knew exactly when and where it will come.

I don't know about that... there's a clear sense in the first timeline of episode 10 that Mami expects a Walpurgisnacht soon, and that there's an urgency to her getting Madoka battle-ready.

The thing about Walpurgisnacht being a natural phenomenon i think is incorrect, Witches are not naturally occurring and the storm cell which everyone in the town was advised to take shelter from is just the destruction it cases (i think Homura in one episode says this)

The top answer has effectively answered your question about how Walpurgisnacht's appearance is predicted in later timelines. However, its appearance is still known in advance without Homura's intervention.

In Madoka Magica episode 10, Mami is actively preparing for Walpurgisnacht's arrival.
In Kazumi Magica chapter 22, Kyubey briefly mistakes Kanna's amalgamate witch for Walpurgisnacht, implying that it could suddenly appear in a similar manner.
In The Different Story chapter 2, Kyouko tells Mami rumors she's heard about a superdreadnought witch called Walpurgisnacht, which is notable since this long predates Walpurgisnacht's arrival in the anime.
In Magia Record, the Magius' plan revolves around luring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama as the power source needed for the Automatic Purification System to extend around the globe.

Most notably, however, Walpurgisnacht does not drop a grief seed. In the timeline where it is defeated by Madoka and Homura alone, the only grief seed they have access to is Oktavia's.

This can't be attributed to the annihilation of its soul as in Magia Record, as neither Madoka nor Homura have a power capable of such like Ren does. And Portable does confirm it has a Grief Seed.

So where does its Grief Seed go, if it has one but never drops it even when seemingly defeated? Well, what if it doesn't die when it's killed? This would readily explain how it's well-known in advance; it's never truly killed, but simply exits reality and waits. It has been defeated before, by magical girls who would warn their younger teammates of the witch that tears open the day, and it would be defeated again if the timeline hadn't consistently been reset after its appearance in the anime.
Further supporting evidence, which is less reliable due to being pulled from unreleased materials:

The Rebellion sequel's title, Walpurgis Revolution, implies that the witch is somehow capable of persisting past two true resets, even though logically the Law of Cycles should immediately destroy it once it appears.

A witch exclusive to Portable, Itzli, is specifically noted in the lore as only appearing after Walpurgisnacht's defeat. Like the character introduced by Scene/Zero, Aki Mabayu, Itzli has a film-splicing motif, and could thus potentially have powers over editing herself into reality if she is in fact a part of the Walpurgisnacht amalgamate. Supporting this is Mabayu's suspiciously Walpurgisnacht-like appearance:

Who told Toko that she was adopted?
In the 4th season of Maria Watches Over Us, it's revealed that Toko was adopted. In the final episode, when she and Yumi went on the half-day date reward which Toko won for finding Yumi's Card, Toko reveals that her real parents died in a car crash which she was the sole survivor of, and she was later adopted by the daughter of the head doctor of the hospital, who happened to be a classmate and friend of Toko's biological mother.
Toko tells Yumi that she had suspected for a while that she was adopted from overhearing "cruel adults". However, it has only been confirmed recently in a couple of episodes earlier. During the scene where Suguru Kashiwagi is driving Toko, he gets angry that Toko has found out and starts questioning her who opened their mouth, naming 3 women (I can't remember their names, but I believe they were the ones who tried to shame Yumi during the 3rd OVA Season). However, Toko doesn't answer, being more scared of Suguru's aggressive speeding.
So I am wondering, is it known who told Toko she was adopted, or did she found out herself?

Nobody ever told Toko directly that she was adopted. As you mentioned, she overheard her relatives speaking about it, and she confirmed it by looking it up in a registry.
Quoting a line from Toko's article on wikia:

She found out the truth later after listening in to some of her relatives' conversations, and confirming it in a registry

So Suguru just got angry and there was no specific person who revealed the secret

Could the Cowboy Bebop movie be set a few years after the series?
THE DESCRIPTION HAS MANY BIG SPOILERS. You have been warned.
I have read many posts and reviews where it said that the creators of Cowboy Bebop intended the movie to be between sessions 22 and 23. There are a few questions on this site which ask specifically where the movie is placed chronologically with the series and people have placed emphasis on the fact that chronological order is not very important to most of the series…

 …and that the main reason the movie is said to be before 23 is because Ed and Ein are still with the Bebop in the movie, whereas in the series they leave soon after 23.

 Now it is a popular interpretation of the ending that Spike died and I don't want to start that debate (yet), but assuming he lives (and is just sleeping at the end like Watanabe semi-jokingly says in an interview only last year), I believe that the movie could be set after the events of the series, perhaps soon after or a few years, Ed and Ein are back, and Ed seems to return to places a few years after she leaves (as the matron at the orphanage on earth says).

Is there any evidence to back up this view?

 Also I request that anyone answering remember that my crucial assumption here is that Spike lives, so please try not to start that debate as I'm very aware many people believe he does not and often vehemently defend their view. Think of this as a hypothetical "if he lives, could the movie be set a while after the end of the series?"

I think after the series, everything is hypothetical and you can pretty much make up any sequence of events you want in order to connect it to the beginning of the movie.

According to the wiki.

The later Cowboy Bebop movie Knockin' on Heaven's Door is said to be set between episodes 22 and 23 of the original TV series, but Shinichiro Watanabe will not rule out the idea that the movie is a dream.

So I would say its definitely not after the movie since the creators think it was either a dream or between the old episodes.

When did Fate become Erio's and Caro's guardian?
According to the Chronology Page, in 0069, Erio learned that he was an Artificial Mage and he was later taken away to be experimented on. Within the same year, the illegal facility which Erio was in was discovered and shut down by the TSAB, and Erio was taken to the Special Care Center.
Caro was banished from her tribe in 0071, so between 0071 and 0075, Caro enlisted with the TSAB. However, no unit wanted to employ her because she couldn't control her power yet. She met Fate one day by pure chance, and after hearing about Caro's past, Fate decided to take her in and became the her guardian.
In 0074, Erio left the Special Care Center and enlisted as TSAB private, so Fate met Erio in the Special Care Center between 0069 and 0074.
At the time Fate wanted to adopt Erio, she was too young to officially adopt him, so Erio was instead adopted by Lindy Harlaown. With Fate becoming his guardian, I assume this happened before Fate's 18th birthday. Since Fate was 15 in 0071, when Nanoha, Hayate, and Fate met in A's epilogue, and Fate was 19 when Riot Force 6 was formed in 0075, Fate would have had her 18th birthday in 0074. However, without an exact date on Fate's birthday, she could have been 17 between 0073 and 0074, which wouldn't be the case with Caro as she still had her family.
When Riot Force 6 was formed, and Caro and Erio met up to join the rest of the group, that was apparently the first time they met.
I'm not sure if it's included in the manga or not, but I'm wondering when Fate became Erio's and Caro's guardian. From the above, I assume it took place some time between 0071 and 0073/74 (before Fate's 18th birthday).

What is the origin of this alternate ending to Captain Tsubasa?
A while back, I stumbled upon this video which shows an ending to the Captain Tsubasa series. However, I quickly found out that it is not the real ending.
In this video (which is in Spanish, I could not find the same video in English), we see a young Tsubasa playing with a football, which eventually ends up on the road, leading to Tsubasa being run over by a truck. It then jumps to a scene where Japan is playing Brazil in what seems to be a final. Finally, it jumps to a scene where we see an older Tsubasa lying in an hospital bed.
At the beginning of the video, a subtitle goes by saying something similar to:

This is the closest to another ending in which Oliver (Tsubasa) has no legs in the hospital.

I ended up finding another video (also in Spanish) that elaborates on the story.
It explains that on the first chapter of the original manga, Tsubasa is hit by that same truck from the other video, but since he has a football, the impact is absorbed by it. He then starts to think of the football as his friend, and so the story we know unravels.
The video then states that in the final against Brazil, after Tsubasa scores a goal, the scene jumps to him waking up in the hospital and hugging his mother, telling him that they had won. The video states that if we look close enough, we will notice Tsubasa has no legs, because he really lost them in that accident, and is just waking up from a coma, having imagined all of the storyline. The video even states that there is a theory that this might have been part of the original plan by the author, since the word 'dream' is present in many of the titles, basically claiming that this is the original ending to the series.

All the information regarding this alternate video seems to be in Spanish, and I have not found much relevant info in English. The few English sources I found state this is fan-made. I tend to lean toward that possibility, as the one proposed by that last video seem pretty farfetched.
Whichever may be the case:
What is the exact origin of this alternate ending?
Was it really supposed to be the original ending?
Or if it is fan-made, where did it originate? When was it first seen?

I have not seen much of the series. The little I have seen was when I was a kid, and from a Portuguese dubbed version. So I know basically nothing about the storyline of the series.

The trope of ending has some relation to the ending for the American medical drama series St. Elsewhere, where the autistic boy imagined autistic boy imagine the six seasons of the show.

I remember looking into this a while back, but never found where the theories about this 'true ending' originally surfaced.
The reason you see so much information about it in Spanish though is because Captain Tsubasa was one of the first Anime to ever air on TV (at least in Mexico), and it was extremely popular at the time. The theory probably surfaced there, and once it got into the internet it became an 'urban legend' of sorts.
But yeah, the alternate is purely fan-made. As far as I know the manga is still running.

How did Yumi's father know Sachiko's father?
In the 4th OVA episode in Season 3, Yumi's father asks her what he should wear to the Sports Carnival at Lillian. Yumi's mother then comments that he has a sort of rivalry with Sachiko's father. When Yumi tells her father that Sachiko's parents probably won't be coming because of a wedding ceremony they are attending, he seems disappointed.
How did Yumi's father know Sachiko's father?


text:
Does Sachiko actually hate men?
Throughout the series, it's stated a number of times that Sachiko hates men, because both her father and grandfather had mistresses. However, in the second OVA episode, when Lillian's Yamayuri Council goes to meet the Hanadera Student Council, Sachiko seems to lose her composure and ends up fainting.
Later in the episode, she says that it was because of the heat. However, her facial expression seems more pained when they meet the Hanadera Student Council, especially when Alice goes to hug her. Also, in the next episode, she seems to be struggling while Yumi is gone.
I am wondering if Sachiko actually hates men, or if there is something else that is causing her to look like she's in pain.

Why is Maria Watches Over Us season 3 referred to as an OVA season?
Season 1, 2 and 4 of Maria Watches Over Us are just normal seasons, but season 3 is described as an OVA season.
Like Maria Watches Over Us season 3, Full Metal Panic and Baka and Test both had a season set in between 2 seasons, which was an OVA series (Full Metal Panic had Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu, Baka and Test had Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu: Matsuri). However, in cases of Full Metal Panic and Baka and Test, neither OVA series was counted as a season.
I am wondering: Why was the OVA season of Maria Watches Over Us named the third season instead of making the 4th season the 3rd season, like the case with Baka and Test and Full Metal Panic?

What kind of sins would determine if a Prinny is sent to the Netherworld or Celestia?
In Disgaea, humans who have sinned become Prinnies, and they either go to the Netherworld or Celestia. In Celestia, they work as maids and domestic servants where their good deeds go towards their redemption. However, in the Netherworld, they have to earn Hel to be redeemed and seemed to be treated far more harshly (probably because their masters are selfish demons like Etna or Laharl).
For Laharl's mother, she committed the sin of taking her own life. However, she did it only to cure him, yet she was made into a Prinny of the Netherworld despite the good intentions.
I am wondering what kind of sins would determine if a Prinny is sent to the Netherworld or Celestia, and if the reason behind committing such sin plays a role in it.

Laharl's mother might have been a special case; according to Disgaea wiki, her prayers were heard before she died, allowing her daughter to be born in Celestia. It's possible she was also able to get herself turned into a Netherworld Prinny so she could keep watching over Laharl. I don't have any evidence, so not an answer.

@Torisuda i haven't played Disgaea D2 yet so i didn't know Laharl's sister was from Celestia (ofcause would explain how it gets involved again in Laharl's life again) but if Laharl's mother was carrying his sister at the time of her death then that could have been seen as murder rather that suicide and i know murdered get sent to the Nether world

That's also possible. My knowledge is pretty much limited to Disgaea 1 and a bit of 2. I haven't played D2 either since I don't have a PS3. All I can really remember from Disgaea 1 about the Prinnies' sins is Etna saying at some point that Netherworld Prinnies were bad people like thieves and murderers when they were alive.

Was Nanoha critically injured during a Jail Scaglietti Investigation?
During Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS it's revealed that between StrikerS and the end of A's, as Nanoha pushed her body too much without proper rest, she got injured during a mission with Vita to the point where she could have never walked/flown again.
During the battle in Saint's Cradle, when Vita comes across spider like Gadget Drones, she remembers seeing them during the mission which led to Nanoha being critically injured, and she lets out her anger on them because they were apparently responsible for almost ruining Nanoha's life.
I am wondering, was the mission Vita and Nanoha did together where Nanoha was critically injured a Jail Scaglietti Investigation? If not, then what was the connection between Jail's Drones and that mission?

Before the events of StrikerS, although Jail Scaglietti's existence was a secret known only to the top tiers of the TSAB, his activities were already known, albeit the identity of its perpetrator remained unknown. In fact, said activities are one of the main points Hayate used during his exposition when forming Riot Force 6.
We can only deduce that Nanoha's incident happened in one encounter with Scaglietti's activities. Still, as there was no "Jail Scaglietti Investigation" back then, she must have been investigating a case of improper use of Lost Logia or usage of magical technology in an underdeveloped world (not specified, as far as I know)

Would it be possible to provide a source from where you got your answer?

Who was the man that Suitengu called Master?
In the 1st episode, as Kagura descends, there is an extravagant looking man watching the ceremony. In the 3rd episode, after Kagura and Saiga fall into the water, he shows up behind Suitengo commenting on Saiga's power and attempting to come up with a name for it. Suitengu refers to him as Master ______ (I don't remember his name).
I am wondering who this man was, as it seems he was important enough to be focused on during the ceremony and he knew right away Saiga had become a Euphoric.

Went back, watched the scenes in question. I thought it was the ballet dancer from the 4th episode, would explain why you don't recognize him and why he doesn't play the prominent role you'd expect going forward.
If I'm right that makes him Katsuya Shirogane:

One of the Euphorics sent by Suitengu to retrieve Kagura from Saiga,
  Katsuya Shirogane possesses the ability to stretch his body into any
  imaginable form (making it at least seem as if his body is made of
  rubber). Known as the Rubber Gimp, he was a ballet dancer who was
  completely obsessed with the flexibility of rubber to the point of
  breaking a young girl's arm for 'being too stiff'. His head was blown
  off by Saiga using a piece of mirror to reflect his camera shot.
  His Japanese voice actor is Takehito Koyasu and his English voice
  actor is J. Michael Tatum. - Wikipedia

What are Rein's capabilities with others?
In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, Reinforce, like Agito, is referred to as a Unison Device, who can fuse with their master to increase their strength.
Rein is however a product of the Tome of the Night Sky and is referred to as a "control device" for the Tome of the Night Sky.
I am wondering, if Rein fuses with someone else, what is her capabilities? Does the person she fuses with have access to anything in the Tome of the Night Sky?

The anime does not make this clear; fusing with a unison device simply increases the mage's offensive and defensive powers, and provides other effects, such as setting Signum's sword on fire when she unisoned with Agito.
While originally Hayate and Reinforce Zwei both used the Book of the Night Sky, later Reinforce got her own storage device - the Book of the Azure Sky.
(To provide a more specific answer would be to engage in speculation.)

How did Suitengu's Euphoria Virus activate?
In order for the Euphoria Virus to activate, the virus carrier has to come in contact with an enzyme which can be found in Kagura's bodily fluids, which can probably be assumed to be always through a kiss. (Even though Suitengu saw Kagura as his sister Yui in a trance, Kagura probably didn't do anything more than kiss).
However, Suitengu is shown to have become a Euphoric after he was operated on. So I am wondering, did his Euphoria Virus become active because he had Kagura's father's arm, or was it through some other means that his virus became active?


text:
Why was Yui happy at the end?
When Suitengu was explaining to Kamiya how he had already found his sister and she had been with him all this time (in the form of a charred bone fragment left from her ashes), it's shown that Suitengu found out that Yui has been sold as a prostitute and had become "broken" after years of abuse.
When she saw Suitengu, she started begging him for money and started to suck on his fingers. Suitengu wept a tear of blood which she swallowed before he hugged her. It's obvious that Suitengu used his power to put Yui to rest while they were hugging.
As Yui died, she was smiling. I am wondering, was she smiling because she realized the man hugging her was her older bother, or was she happy that she was freed from her life as a prostitute?

Why not both? Pain can be a great way to quickly induce sobriety, so after coming to her senses, Yui might have remembered her brother and understanding the damned awful situation, she, with relief, embraced her brother once more and let go of her life.

I believe she was happy to be free from her life as a prostitute - When Suitengu enters, she treats him like another client, begging for money and initiating intimacy by sucking on his fingers.
Yui's life was a wreck and you can see in the scene that she has been reduced to a weak state of survival, having been badly treated for (presumably) years.
She was most likely glad to be free of the living hell she was in.
Her smile could be interpreted as a final recognition of her brother, but personally I doubt it - she is confused and dismissive of both the music box and when Suitengu hugs her, it's only moments before we see her hand drop that she smiles.

What were the desires that lead to the Euphorics' powers?
For some of the characters, it was quite obvious what their desires were:

Saiga's desire to capture life in his camera
Katsuya Shirogane's desire to be as flexible as rubber
Kamiya's desire for food.

However, for others, it's not so obvious:

Father Kanda had the power to control lighting, but it's not clear why.
Ran Yurigaoka's power to make his tattoos come to life seems to conflict with his pride of having perfect skin.

What desire did each of the Euphorics have that allowed their powers to manifest?

As @Hakase has mentioned, Father Kanada's power is likely to be based on his religious beliefs. A lot of religious texts - biblical or no, mention smiting which is usually portrayed as lightning.
As for Ran Yurigaoka's power, A common phrase among tattoo artists is that skin is a canvas . With his obsession with skin, he probably considers it art in a way also - and tattoos a further extension of that.
Most likely though, the character designers simply thought that these powers would be the most impressive for the personas they had, and there wasn't significant deliberating on the preciseness of the connections.

I'd say that rather than capture life in general, Saiga's desire as a war photographer was to capture life in its final moments or right before destruction. There was a flashback that showed some of the scenes Saiga shot with his camera which changed drastically moments later. This explains why not only people die, but also inanimate objects explode after being photographed by euphoric Saiga.
Father Kanda probably wanted to personally issue holy retribution, much like god can strike sinners with lightning. As for Ran, we don't really know what he thought "perfect skin" means, after all, these guys were pretty twisted even before gaining euphoric powers.
Those are all guesses btw, and I don't think there is too much depth to the characters to guess incorrectly.

What does Hashirama mean by the effects of the chakra rods?
In Chapter 661, Hashirama said "These rods are forced through our chakra points, which means that the chances of us moulding chakra are probably nil". He said it in the context of "even if the rods are removed". Since those under Edo Tensei can recover on their own after some time, what did he mean by this?

Awesome obeservation!!!!!! if they were under Edo Tensai,he shouldn't had said that......... since ppl under ET recover on it's own,why did Hashirama exclaimed like that? I think Kishimoto went a bit out of track....... i am waiting for someone to answer this question!!!!!! good observation though!!!!

While people do regenerate under Edo Tensei, the process of regeneration can be slow and tedious. Madara has reached new heights and can attack at any given moment. Hashirama knows his chakra circulation is obstructed and it could take a while for him to heal fully. Thus, he is giving Sasuke this precaution along with a jutsu.
Refer to Minato's statement below. Also recall how Minato lost his arm and still hasn't regenerated yet. Hashirama knows that if Madara acts quickly, he won't be able to stop Madara.

I have a doubt:- why is there a so much difference in their regeneration process?Isn't Oruchimaru's ET not efficient enough?Kabuto's ET where able to regenerate quickly compared to the one by Oruchimaru........

Kabuto also has the advantage being alive and experimenting while Orochimaru wasn't. Also consider the fact that Kabuto used Zetsu clones, to which he can research and practice on. Orochimaru did not have opportunity. Needless to say, Kabuto's ET did not regenerate instantly. Madara is the only exception because he is simply on another level. He also stole sage mode and mastered it within mere seconds.

Forgot about the zetsu's clone with which Kabuto resurrected the dead ones...... thanks for the info.... +1 again to u

what jutsu did hashirama give sasuke?

Why was Villagulio angry at Muginami for taking the Vox in season 1 of Rinne no Lagrange?
I am curious as to why Villagulio was angry at Muginami for taking the Vox in the first season. The scenes after that hint that Villagulio was forced to do so, but it didn't say why.
Villagulio article on the anime's wiki says that he did so in order for Muginami to get close to the others:

Soon after, he formed the rebellious organization "Kiss" and sent Muginami to Kamogawa to investigate about the Voxes, but apparently gets angry at her for becoming the pilot of Vox Ignis and abandons her, while actually it was part of his plan to have her get close to Madoka and the others.

However, the wiki doesn't look that trustworthy to me.

What is the combination of Wind Style and Earth Style?
After quite some research, I've found this picture, and I've added/completed the combinations. As you can see, I've found all of the combinations (even if some of you wouldn't agree with me), but I have absolutely no idea what should be put as the combination of Wind and Earth...
I forgot to mention that there is one style, the Crystal Release, whose origins are unclear to me. It may be the response to the question, but I've got no proof or source to claim it.

You didn't leave the question marks next to the specific unconfirmed releases, such as blaze, scorch, magnet, and explosion release. For example, Blaze release has to do with the Mangekyou black flames and there is no indication that Lightning is required here.

you're right, as for those 4 I've deleted the question mark,since on Narutopedia,and other site, all of the questioners, who were interested in the combinations,agreed,that even if in the pic is with a question mark,we're almost 100% sure, that those combinations are made from the basic styles,as it is shown in this image

What would be the argument that Amaterasu flames uses Lightning? Or how Explosion uses Lightning? I would expect Explosion to use fire. This diagram is more speculation and people wanting it to work out. Magnet was completely speculated as well.

it's said,that "It is unknown what element(s) this nature entails aside from Fire Release which makes up Amaterasu". I'd say,that even if it's stated,that the Blaze Style is "an advanced chakra nature kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan",the only person seen and known using it it's not Shisui or Itachi or a random Uchiha guy, but Sasuke. Since the styles used by him are fire and lightning, that it's why I would bet,that the other style used in Blaze it's the lightning

now I see your explosion questions...if I recall well, Deidara was an advanced user of explosion style, one of this component it's surely the Earth style, and maybe it's speculation,but since there wouldn't be a proper spot for it, and if you think,that lightning could be involved in explosion, you would say,even it's speculation, that the Explosion style uses earth AND lightning....I see that you too don't agree with me xD

@Rinneg4n Lightning was the weakness of the explosion style. I dont see lightning canceling out lightning.

Simply Mud-balls! Or maybe Sandstorms?

The effect you are asking for is not yet known, just like how some of the others in the chart are not confirmed or not complete (such as Blaze, Storm and Explosion).
The chart is set-up with the current knowledge we have of the techniques and filling in the blanks by deducing what could be in the slot. Most of them might actually prove to be accurate, but until this is confirmed in either the anime or manga we won't know for sure.

Magnet wasn't exactly confirmed either. Wind and Lightning as magnet is also just a speculation.

@krikara Actually 1 of the required elements is confirmed, which is earth, although in this scheme that is not even attached to it.

as I've mentioned in the question,"even if some of you wouldn't agree with me".I don't want to argue with none of you, I know that there are truly some Styles,which aren't confirmed,but as @Dimitri mx stated:"Is set-up with the current knowledge we have of the technique's and filling in the blanks by deducing what could be in the slot.".I've been thinking on this chart, because it's an interesting fact,which combination are made by which basic styles, and even if it's not legit, it's curiosity that led me to ask about this,and I know,there are other guys,who really like this kind of "riddles".

Wind Release and Earth Release make Magnet Release. Take a look at the combined nature transformation relationships image taken from wikia. The image is kinda small and blurry, don't mind if I modify your image to match wikia's image.

Well, the question has been answered, but I bet you still arguing about what's the replacement of Blaze Release and the old Magnet Release.
Blaze Release is a Kekkei Genkai, but it doesn't work with mixing one type of elemental chakra with another, like mixing Fire Relase and Lightning Release. In fact, it's a highest level Fire Release Ninjutsu, only acquired through wielding the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Fire Release + Lightning Release wasn't an official combination of Ninjutsu of forming a Kekkei Genkai, but it can be used in conjunction with Lightning Release to alter weather conditions to create an extremely powerful Lightning Release, the Kirin.
Wind Release + Lightning Release wasn't an official combination of Ninjutsu of forming a Kekkei Genkai, but it doesn't mean that the combination hasn't been used in Naruto Shippuden Franchise. In the game Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution, Naruto forms a wind-natured Rasengan and Sasuke adds his Chidori to the sphere, forming Wind Release Lightning Release: Typhoon Lightning Spiral, a type of Cooperation Ninjustu, which means a collaboration of two or more Ninjutsu to create a new Ninjutsu with a greater strength.
Crystal Release though, Earth Release may be a presumed component element. For more information, go click the hyperlink.

I just read your question and saw your graph. Got to say, nice work.
Though, I would make some changes:

Blaze Release: Should be an advance version of Fire release, not a combination of Fire and Lightning release.
Magnet Release: This is my own opinion, but I think this is more of an Earth and Lightning release.

As for your actual question, I would fill in the blank in the diagram with Sand Release. Let me explain my choice:
I know that Shukaku has the Magnet release, but the Mizukage proved that even a regular shinobi can have more than one Kekkei Genkai, so why not a Tailed Beast? Also there's the fact that the Third and Fourth Kazekage used their Magnet release to mimic Shukaku's sand. Although sand does have some magnetic minerals inside of it, these minerals will just slide past the rest when they come in contact of an actual magnet. So, in conclusion, my theory is that the Kazekage couldn't manipulate sand because it's not a magnet type element.
One may argue that the reason why the Kazekage didn't manipulate regular sand is because iron sand and gold dust is heavier. However, I would say that regular sand is more versatile and plentiful. There are oceans of sand, and they are not completely made out of metal. Sand is a mixture of all types of minerals that have been broken down to the size of a grain. In fact, Gaara himself once said that he uses his sand to dig underground, find the hardest minerals, crush them, and then mix them into the sand to make it stronger. Sand release makes more sense for Wind and Earth combination, since it's a product of weathering and erosion. So instead of being a magnetic type element, it's a deposition type element.
This doesn't mean that Gaara is weak compared to his predecessors. Since it's lighter, it's also quicker and more likely to be easier to control. Also, it's easier to produce, you can turn just about any kind of rock into sand. On the other hand, you can't turn sand or just any kind of rock into iron or gold without going through a molecular process. While his father used the gold dust to way Gaara down, Gaara could simply use his sand to gather the dust, take the infected sand, and bury it before making more sand from his environment. Of course, this all depends on who's better with their ninjutsu.
Therefore, I firmly believe that Earth + Wind = Sand.

Magnet Release is a combination of Earth and Wind. Gaara's father has Wind, Water and Earth natures. Wind and Water creates Ice. Water and Earth creates Wood. Therefore, the only possible combination left for Magnet Release is Wind and Earth.
Blaze Release is not a combination of Fire and Lightning. It's just Fire. Sasuke creates the black flames of Amaterasu with his left eye and controls them with his right eye, so it does not come from a combination of natures, but just a Mangekyo ability.
Swift Release is combination of Wind and Lightning, since both elements can be used to increase one's speed.

Could you possible site your sources for this answer?

There is no known technique that can be derived from the combination of Earth and Wind release but what I have is a theory:
The combination of Wind and Earth can be the following:

Swift Release - an advanced nature Kekkei Genkai that can be used to
move at virtually instantaneous speed, granting the user an advantage
over opponents with more strength than speed, such as users of Chakra
Enhanced Strength. This nature therefore renders the user
invulnerable against most taijutsu.
Steel Release - an advanced nature
Kekkei Genkai that can be used to make one's body virtually
indestructible by turning it into black steel.

I don't include Magnet release because I have a very minimal evidence that the user of this style (Toroi and the two Kazekage) has Earth and Wind release. On the other hand, since Hiruko is the only ninja I know that has a Earth and Wind type elements release, he can combine the two elements to form a new release like the two I mentioned. I also presume that the technique/release is also a Kekkei Genkai.

it's this Steel Release the style that Kakuzu used?

Not only kakuzu but also others like Hikuro.

This is just a pure speculation, but, if you have a chunk of Earth, and you separate it into very small pieces and let it fly using Wind release, wouldn't that end up as Sand? Or at least sand-like. So I think the combination of Earth and Wind is Sand Release.
This fits as Yamato explained before, that since he can use Wood Release, he can also use Water and Earth release. Shukaku can use Wind Release too and sand is pretty much Earth, so for Sand Release he uses both Wind and Earth release.

Earth plus wind equals weathering swift and dark don’t come from weathing and neither does steel but Crystals can be a result of weathering so wind and earth is crystal

And what do you base this answer on? Do you happen to have canon sources to back this up ?

wouldnt it be crystal style? Since that's the only one not shown and sasuke doesn't use fire or lightning for his blaze style he uses his left to shoot the flames and the right to control them

Crystal Is anime only and was never explained, so it cant fit into the diagram anywhere naturally

What fighting style is Lancer using in Fate/Zero?
In Fate/Zero Lancer is using a fighting style with 2 spears, one in each hand. After doing some research, I couldn't find any similar fighting style in real life.
Is there such a fighting style using a spear in each hand in real life, or did the creators of Fate/Zero make that up?

There is in fact a style of fighting which utilizes two spears. The Irish used to use single-handed spear combat. This style of fighting was used only by those who already had great skill in double-handed spear combat due to the requirement for greater control and strength.
In this style of fighting, one would carry a one-handed spear in their strong hand, and either a large shield or a small shield and spare spear in their right. While the combat style wasn't specifically designed for fighting with both spears at once, this is clearly where the inspiration for the movements of the character are derived. Some of the ways he strikes in the show even have great visual resemblance to this fighting style.
Add that to the fact that his character is of Irish legend, one of the most famous knights of Fiana, and that within those legends, he does have two spears among his collection of mythical weapons, it leaves little doubt that our Irish, spear wielding combatant would be using Irish single-handed spear combat.

Irish Single Handed Spear Fighting Combat Guide on livinghistory.ie

Is there any source for everything you claim here?

http://tutorials.livinghistory.ie/Home/irish-single-handed-spear-fighting-combat-guide
That website has basically the same information I gave, however you might also want to check out some of the HEMA alliance sites or videos.  HEMA tands for Historical European Martial Arts.

There is no such thing as dual wielding spears in the world of martial arts. This is mainly due to the reason that it is plain impractical. Swords already have their disadvantages when dual wielded. But with spears, it would be close to impossible to have a proper fighting style unless you would only fight against other dual spear wielders.

Dual wielding is the technique of utilizing two weapons, one in each hand, during combat. It is not a common combat practice, since it does not offer much advantage. Although historical records of dual wielding in war is limited, there are numerous weapon-based martial arts that involve the use of a pair of weapons. - Wikipedia

Even though it is unpractical in real life situations, it is commonly used in anime and the likes, as stated on TvTropes:

Dual wielding appears in various Real Life cultures and combat styles, but it tends to be over-represented in fiction because it's... well... cool.

What are Shouko's real intentions towards Raishin?
Shouko Kariuusai lent Yaya to Raishin because she wanted Yaya to drain Raishin's vitality. It is clearly stated in the novels and in the anime. When she met Raishin by the burnt Akabane state, it is even hinted that she would be satisfied by just using his body right there.
Maybe it's due to the inner potential of the Akabane bloodline to have their bodies made into machine dolls (like Nadeshiko).
So, what does she want to do with Raishin, after all?

What happened to Yui's Heart when Kirito wiped out his Inventory?
Yui told Kirito that it would be a good idea for him to clear out his inventory as all the items were bugged and he could be detected by the system if they remained. As he was about to, he was hesitant in doing so. I can assume one of the 2 reasons:

All the items were a record of his 2 years in SAO and had a personal connection to them.
Yui's Heart was in the inventory and he was being careful not to delete it.

However, in the anime, it didn't show any sort of filter was applied and his entire inventory was cleared. So I am wondering what happened to Yui's Heart - was it not in his inventory because Yui was right beside him or was Yui protecting it in some way from the system so that it wouldn't appear in his inventory.

I'm assuming she was no longer in his inventory because she'd been "unpacked" into the gameworld again - she didn't exist as an item in inventory, so thus could not be removed (I don't have a way to check this though).  ...As much as I liked that show, the levels of Hollywood Hacking some of the plot elements would require is a bit painful.

Like your previous question, I don't think there's a way to confirm exactly what happened here, but I have 3 possible explanations.

Yui's Heart was marked as a special item and couldn't be deleted (e.g. Quest item, etc.), but I think this is the least likely, since as you said, the anime showed his inventory being empty and there was no filter on it.
It could simply just have been consumed when Yui was summoned, so it was already gone when he deleted everything.
It was simply deleted. Since Yui was already initialized in the world, it didn't matter if he had it in his inventory or not.

Kirito saved Yui's data inside his NervGear local memory. The program is usable in Alfheim Online, and it didn't get wiped out, maybe because it wasn't data from SAO's save data (like his items). If ALO is based on SAO, then many interface programs are just the same. This is shown when Kirito starts at ALO and first checks the Logout button (which is there, unlike SAO).
Maybe the inventory showed both the items from SAO and Yui's Heart from the local memory. When he wiped out the inventory, Yui's Heart remained because it was not a cached item.

SAO and ALO actually have the same game engine... "The Seed".

From the point of view of programming and my experience (regarding MMO mechanics), I think the Yui's Heart item is like an object who grants a passive skill in ALO.
When Kirito activated it, Yui became bound to Kirito's character so all data from Yui's Heart were also transferred.
From Sword Art Online Volume 3 – Fairy Dance - Chapter 2:

“So…wait a second”
I suddenly thought of a possibility.
If these are the items from Aincrad, - then «that» should be here too.
  I touch the item window, and scroll down the menu with my fingertip.
“Please, please, please be there.”
I quickly scroll down the list, ignoring all of the gibberish. My
  heart started beating faster and a feeling like ringing bells resounds
  through my body.
“!”
My fingers unconsciously stopped. Below my finger was a line of
  letters like all of the others save it was emitting a warm green
  color. «MHCP001».
Almost forgetting to breathe, I touched the name with trembling
  fingers. After selecting the item, the color reversed. Moving my
  fingers I pressed the button labeled “Use Item.”

What is the connection between the Blood Series?
I watched Blood: The Last Vampire a while back and I know there are other series like Blood+, Blood-C and Blood-C: The Last Dark and a manga called Blood.
From what I read, in all of the series, the main character is a girl named Saya, and from what I took from the Movie Blood: The Last Vampire, Saya is a vampire herself.
I am wondering if the different Blood series have any sort of connection to each other through Saya or any other connection.

Blood, Blood+, and Blood C are all parallel universes from one another, like the Ghost in the Shell movies and TV series. Blood-C: The Last Dark, acts as a sequel to the Blood-C series.

Is it explained how Arietta never knew the real Ion had died?
Ion and Sync are replicas of the real Fon Master Ion. When Ion died, Sync was a reject and Ion was chosen to become the Fon Master.
It's explained that Arietta loved Ion, but she didn't know that the Ion she loved had died, since Sync always wore a mask before falling into the Core. I doubt she saw Sync's face being similar to Ion's before, but Sync never wore his mask after Sync and Van came back from the Core.
Since Arietta was one of the God-Generals and were in on Van's plan, is it explained in the anime/manga how Arietta never knew that the Ion she loved had died?

When was the Wolkenritter summoned?
In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's, at the very beginning of the first episode, it showed the Book of Darkness activating. Later in the series, it showed this again, but continuing on showing that the Wolkenritter were summoned at this time, and they lived like a regular family with Hayate.
When they learn that the Book of Darkness was draining Hayate, the Wolkenritter began to attack the Time Space Administration in order to fill all the pages, thinking that by doing so they could save Hayate.
The Book of Darkness Incident, which would be the reference to the clashes between the Wolkenritter and the TSAB (particularity with Nanoha and Fate involved) is documented to have occurred in 0065 of the Mid-Childan Calendar, the same year that the Jewel Seed Incident occurred (first season of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha).
I am wondering, when were the Wolkenritter actually summoned to Hayate's side? Was it before, during, or after the Jewel Seed Incident?

Nanoha A's takes place six months after the original series, on December of the same year. The Book of Darkness was activated on midnight 3/4 July, as seen in the first episode of A's.
The conclusion is that the activation of the Book of Darkness and appearance of the Wolkenritter occurred just after the conclusion of the Jewel Seed incident.

Is Doflamingo really dead in chapter 743?
Kyros appears to have killed Doflamingo in chapter 743. Is he really dead? I want Doflamingo to die, but he can't just die so quickly. There should be a fight between Doflamingo and Luffy.

Knowing the series' track record for these sort of things, the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of Doflamingo being alive -- as for how, that's up for speculation, until the Chapter 744. We'll just have to wait and see.

@kapusanjay Doffy isn't dead, and tbh I don't think his power is exaggerated. He has many years of experience and is a pretty smart guy, so it makes sense for this 41yo guy to be at least this strong and have found ways to use his devil fruit to the max.

Doflamingo-sama is alive and well, as expected.
In chapter 744, we can see his head saying

Fufufu... You guys really got me good. I'm head over heels in shock.

While in chapter 745, we can see that there are in fact two Doflamingos. The left one is the headless Doflamingo whose head Kyros severed, while the right one is (probably) the real Doflamingo.

Later in chapter 745, we can see Violet explaining what was going on.

It appears to be a marionette made of string!

Basically, since Doflamingo ate the String Fruit, he has become a string human. He can manipulate strings to the extent that he can create a marionette duplicate of himself and move it around as if it were him. It was this marionette that Kyros had severed the head of, not Doflamingo's real head. Therefore, he is still very much alive and completely unharmed

 at that point at least.

It is now absolutely confirmed this attack didn't kill him, his head gives orders to his subordinates in the next chapter while Luffy shouts in surprise "Ah, Mingo is still alive!"
No explanation as to how he's alive though, should find out eventually.

People have come up with many theories of how Doflamingo was not killed by this attack. Here are the theories from Youtube. Some of them say that either Law used "Room", or maybe Doflamingo somehow reattached himself because of the Ito Ito no Mi's power. But as your question asks "Is Doflamingo really dead?", I will try to answer that.
Whenever a person is killed or dealt a severe blow, Oda always shows blood in that panel. In this case, we can clearly see that no blood has been spilled. Looking at the expression of Doflamingo's expression on the bottom panel, it doesn't look like he is dead. So we can assume that he is not dead.
On a sidenote, it would be very anti-climatic if Doflamingo died in just a single blow.

I love me some anti-climaxes

He's alive! But how?

I was pretty sure that he was not dead . It has not been revealed how is he not dead but I think he can control his body with strings and attach himself back . But I don't knwo how that should work because he is a paramecia and not a logia . But we know Oda is known for some exceptions as in case of Blackbeard who has two devil fruits , maybe we don't know the full extent of ito ito no mi .

It's because his devil fruit Ito Ito no Mi can be used as a Marionette where he can create an exact clone of himself. I have just read the recent chapters, man, I love Oda!

I don't think this really answers the question that much.

Please explain how that relates and answers the question at hand please. You can [edit] your answer by clicking on the link :)

Did Midorima forget to bring his lucky charm in the Winter Preliminaries?
As we all know, in Kuroko no Basketball, Midorimia usually brings along a lucky charm according to his horoscope for each day. For example, he once bought a bear with a fish in its mouth, as that was the lucky charm for the day. However, in the Winter Preliminaries against Seiho, I haven't seen him mentioning a lucky charm or holding a lucky charm, and I also couldn't see any lucky charm on the benches during the game.

Was this just that he forgot about it? Or was this a problem with the writers and producers, as they may have forgotten to include this crucial detail? I think this is quite unusual for Midorimia to not have a lucky charm during the game, as he has clearly demonstrated that he always had one.
Note: I noticed this during Season 2, Episode 30.

Most probably, he would have brought his lucky charm but it might not be shown in the anime because they may have assumed that it's Midorimia "thing" and it need not be highlighted again and again.

What's up with Vincent Bold speeding like crazy?
Vincent Bold and Pico Norton's childhood friend died in a car-related accident (not sure how though). Since then, they both changed and became more determined to become astronauts.
However, Vincent keeps blazing through the roads in his car and always breaking the speed limit, while he keeps repeating that "life is short". How does that work together? I don't really understand his outlook.
He also often says that travel is the most meaningless waste of time, so I suppose it's the reason why he's always in a rush – not just while driving, but also walking, talking and completing tasks. If only he weren't speeding on the road, it'd all make sense. But when his childhood friend died in a car-related accident, I don't get it.

What exactly is Madara implying about the Sage of Six Paths?
Since Chapter 646 is currently the latest chapter, the question will be in spoilers.

 My question specifically pertains to whether or not all shinobi descended from the Sage of Six Paths. Is this what Madara is implying in the last panel of this picture: "[...] in effect, taught us all chakra..."?

 I think there are multiple ways to interpret this. One is that all shinobi are related to Kaguya, meaning everyone related knows how to use chakra.

 And the second way is that if one knows how to use chakra, then all their offspring will be born into the world able to use chakra. Therefore the Sage of Six Paths can simply teach others how to use chakra and then everyone else knows.

 There were probably some words lost in translation, so I am just confused now.

 Did all shinobi descend from the Sage of Six Paths or did the Sage simply just teach others how to use chakra?

I am Madara and I don't know what he meant there. :P I guess that's a hole to be filled at a later point.

At the moment there might not be a definite answer for this question, so here's mine based on my own interpretation of the chapter (with little or no evidence to back up) which might likely become obsolete owing to any twist in plot later on

Chakra was initially an entity unrelated to humans or their physique until Otsutsuki Kaguya ate the Shinju's fruit and caused the inception of a generation where it would be a part of the human body (as a chakra system).

Secondly, Otsutsuki Hagoromo aka the Sage of Six Paths, the immediate successor inherited Kaguya's chakra and was likely the root from which the generation of shinobi branched out.

Further his likely mastery over the Juubi and becoming the first Bijuu could likely be attributed to the real beginning of shinobi who further learn to mix physical energy with chakra to create elemental energy (something perhaps, the Sage might have practised first and preached on to the subsequent generations).

At many points it is also mentioned that the Sage had two sons who later on branched out into Senju and Uchiha.

However though the Sage might be essentially the first to truly realize the power of chakra, it is very much possible that Otsutsuki Kaguya could have other children who might have inherited the gift of chakra and could have possibly been the root of other shinobi clans.

I believe that this brings up a minor plot hole in the series.
It is known that anyone can become a ninja because everyone has chakra. It is also said that if one runs out of chakra, they die. However, Kaguya was said to have rated the fruit and obtained the chakra, while the Sage of Six Paths was said to be, along with his brother, the first to be born with chakra. This then raises the question of how the people that lived during and before the Sage and Kaguya survived.
Later in the manga, it was said that the Sage spread his teachings to the people and used his chakra to connect all people in the world so that they could understand each other. However, eventually, they used his chakra to blend their own spiritual and physical energies together to form their own chakra, which they used as weapons for war.
From this, I have formulated a speculation: From the first generation who learned to weaponize their own chakra, their descendants were then born with chakra. However, that raises the question as to what about those that did not receive the Sage's teachings. As it was stated that everyone has chakra to some degree, I would assume that either those that did not learn directly from the Sage learned from others and later formed their own jutsu, or that those who did not develop chakra were killed off, much like animals which do not evolve in the wild.

What was Kyouji's plan before he triggered the security in the Summoner Test System?
At the beginning of season 1 episode 8 "Runaway, Mazes, and the Summoned Beast Instrumentality Project", Kyouji was seen attempting to access the main system. When he was picked up by the security systems, he ran away, where he tripped over a cable and disconnected it, causing the entire system to go berserk.
Kyouji is known for his underhanded tactics and cheating, so it's obvious that he was trying to gain an unfair advantage over everyone else when he was trying to access the main system. What did he hope to do if he had gained access?

Changing the grades?

Who are all members of Namikaze clan and is Namikaze clan a descendant of Senju clan?
I know Minato (the fourth Hokage) is of the Namikaze clan, but I have never heard of anyone other than him belonging to the same clan. What is the Namikaze clan's history? Is it part of the Senju clan?

I doubt anything in this regard has been mentioned in the manga.

Since Naruto is the child of Minato and Kushina, doesn't that make him half Uzumaki and half Namikaze?!

Not every ninja in the Naruto world comes from a well known clan. Much like Sakura, and (to a degree) Kakashi, Minato most likely enrolled into the academy and became a very strong ninja. However, to say that his family was a normal family may not be fair, because nothing is known about the members of the Namikaze.

Namikaze isn't a descendant of Senju. I think it would have been mentioned in the past if it was, just like how it was stated Uzumaki is related to Senju. The past references has been brought up so many times with Kushina having Senju DNA, and therefore Naruto has it too.
As for all the members, we only know of Minato. No other Namikaze member was revealed in the manga. I haven't watched all the fillers, but there might have been another Namikaze person in there.

Watched all the fillers. There isn't.

The Namikaze clan is well know for their speed, as seen by the most well known Namikaze's Minato. Despite his extensive use of the Flying Thunder God Technique, his speed came natural. Members of the Namikaze Clan are gifted with high level of intelligence. Due to their speed and ability to master any or almost all ninjustu, they became a nearly invincible clan. They were even capable of standing up against the Uchiha and Senju to a certain extent. Prior to Minato becoming the Hokage however, this clan gained no recognition.

There are some other members mentioned in this page.

If you'd read the url of the link you shared, you'd no that this information is unrelated to the main manga or other works of Kishimoto related to Naruto. "Fanon" describes some of the popular ideas that some of the fandom accepts as true even if there is no support it.

I apologize for my negligence @Arcane

In addition that this is a fan-theory/creation, the linked article also has been deleted though, making this less notable...

What position does the village chief have when he's not a kappa?
The man with the village chief's voice is only seen twice in both seasons. In the first instance, he was protecting Arakawa by stopping Rec's father's plan to develop the area by influencing a senator. The second time is when he sneaked up on Shimazaki while she was digging up info on Nino, where he threatened to kill her if she continued.
Given how he was able to influence a senator to stop the Arakawa Development Project even with Rec's Father's influence with his own company (which was seen when the contractor that Rec hired pulled out as he learned who Rec's competitor company was), just what is the village chief's real position in society? (By the way, that was one of the rare moments when he was seen outside his kappa suit. He seemed to be wearing more traditional Japanese robes and not a business suit).

This is purely a prediction on my part. I did not read the books nor comic if the true identity was revealed, though I believe many of the mysteries in the series is best to be left unexplained.
First, an analysis.
Village Chief is someone of great influence, able to influence the Minister of Development against the biggest developing firm, Ichinomiya. He has access to high quality and bizarre items (his fanned suit) and great wealth (enough to compensate for whatever the Ichinomiya group was chipping in for the minister), but he somehow chose to seclude himself from the society.
He does not have a particular tone besides random kappa related statements, seems not to have been raised in a particular way, and is well accustomed to the society when required to. He is well respected in the under bridge and regarded by everyone, especially sister, as a dependable person. The two times we've seen him in his usual self, however, he seemed particularly skillful in infiltration (coming in behind Shimazaki in a supposedly off limit office without her realising) and intimidation (threatened to kill). Threaten to kill is a peculiar trait as it is vastly different from Ichinomiya's way of intimidation via social and financial impact. It shows that he does things differently from politicians and businessmen. At final speech of Minister of Development, when asked by his subordinate who is he, he answered, "It's better for you not to know". Of both the time he appears, he wears a kimono. During season 2, we also gain insight that he is about the same age group (middle age) as Shiro (discussion about health and argument) and he is bad with group work (refuse to stay a week with the team, not a team player, more of leader or someone who simply gives orders rather than receiving them).
So there, Village Chief is/was a wealthy, influential person. He has great leadership, is mostly a lone wolf and does not shy away from intimidation by death. He also does not have speech traits, is well accustomed to society and wears mostly a kimono.
Remember Jacqueline when Billy did not come for their anniversary? She changed into a kimono when decided to head back and kill the head of the bird gang leader if something were to come to Billy. Kimono is something that Japanese mafia are obsessed with.
If I am to guess, he is/was the head of a big, dangerous mafia gang which has lots of financial background and ties on different background. Its influence and financial ground is at least on par with Ichinomiya group. I couldn't predict why he left, there is just too many possibilities without any ground to go on. He could be retired, betrayed, still on a relatively hands-off business with the gang, mafia dissolved, etc etc....

Spoiler:

 he is the leader of the Yakuza.

Do you have any reference/source to backup that up?

What exactly happened at the end of Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi?
Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi (神さまのいない日曜日) ended with more questions than answers:

If Alice died instead of Dee, then why was Dee the one as a ghost in the real world?
Furthermore, Dee has her body (in the outside world) in the final scene.
How does Ai managed to "save" Alice? Yet at the same time she's standing in front of his grave.

Running through the forums and it seems like I'm not the only one who's confused.

What in the world happened? (no pun intended)
The biggest and undeniable contradiction is Dee going from ghost to normal human.
Does this mean that some sort of change of history caused Dee and Alice to "switch places"?

Dee appeared as a ghost because her physical body was still stuck in class 3-4, while Alice had a physical body outside because he was already buried by a proper gravekeeper. Therefore, his body wasn't in class 3-4 like Dee, and could appear normally since he was part of the world outside.
Dee has a physical body later on, because the world class 3-4 created had been destroyed. Her physical body was released.
Ai saved Alice by wishing intensely. In Sunday Without God, by wishing for something really badly it somehow would be granted, like how Hampnie Hambart wished to die happily besides his family, or how Alice got the ability Buzzer Beater. When Ai wished for Alice to be saved, God granted that wish, and so Alice could have a physical body outside class 3-4's world and continue to live his life.

My interpretation was that:

 This was a world where people frequently get special powers by wishing intensely.  Intense wishes can cause perfect aim with Buzzer Beater, special power to eat normally inedible objects, and even a giant time loop when 17 people wish all at once.  The fact that Dee appeared to be the ghost was probably part of the wish of those 17 people.  They wished for a world that would never be disturbed by reality, and their wish made Dee appear as a ghost outside, because that made their world less likely to be disturbed by reality.

 In this story, God makes rules that are more like loose guidelines, and God breaks His own guidelines frequently.  The gravekeeper Scar wasn't supposed to be able to cry, but apparently she wished to be more normal and  God transformed her - apparently into a normal woman.

 At the end of the story, just before Ai was pushed out of the room, she was wishing with all her heart that she could find some way to save everyone.  I presume God granted her wish by breaking His own rules, as He had done many times before.

The reason for the scene where Ai was in front of Alice's grave with Alice standing beside her...
The original Alice had already died. Then after class 3-4 wished for the incident to never happen (causing a time-loop to occur), Alice's soul was probably revived while his body was buried. Alice of course had no idea he died. So while he kept searching for a way to break the time-loop, he started to change and then he met Ai. Ai probably wished for the Alice she knew to come back to life. Thus the original Alice was still buried and the Alice whom Ai knew revived.
[This is just my theory though.]

For Alice ai was somehow able to save him before 3-4 disappeared and brought him to the real world and the scene with them at Alice's grave showed Alice's original body which was buried 14 years before the series

Does Hakuoro come back at the end?
In the ending of the visual novel, Kamyu looked away from Aruru and said "Oji-sama" (which is how she referred to Hakuoro), then Aruru told Kamyu to jump on Mukkuru and rode off. The scene after that shows Eruru in what is believed to be her home village rebuilt. Though it could be just the developers reusing the background, it shows an isometric view of the village, which looks almost as if the village had been repaired. The final CG shows her looking towards the screen almost in shock.
I haven't seen the anime so I have no idea if this is elaborated on further. However, it almost seems as if Kamyu and Aruru saw Hakuoro and he returned to Eruru. Hakuoro also said before he was sealed that he would one day see Eruru again. However, he could have been referring to how Eruru was a decedent of his ancient daughter.
So I am wondering if Hakuoro did come back.

Were the Jail Scaglietti clones removed from all of The Numbers?
At the end of Magical Girl Lyrical StrikerS, it's revealed that all of The Numbers had a clone of Jail Scaglietti in their wombs, so that in the event of his capture or death, as long as one of The Numbers escaped, his clone would be born with all his memories and knowledge, effectively allowing him to reborn.
A number of The Numbers were separated and imprisoned in different locations, while a group (who probably could be released and live normal lives like Subaru and Ginga) were in a separate facility near Ground Forces H.Q.
Were all the Jail Scaglietti clones removed from the wombs of The Numbers? Or only those who would be released, since the others would be imprisoned indefinitely?

The clones are never mentioned again in the series. One possible explanation is that they were supposed to trigger in case of Jail Scaglietti's death; but he is still alive, in a maximum security orbital prison.

I think they do get some mention.  I think they appear in sound stages, and if I remember correctly the ones that chose to try to rehabilitate have appeared in Vivid (possibly Force?).  I can't recall specific ones, though, so maybe I'm mistaken.  I don't think any of those mention the clones, regardless.  The "trigger only on death" does seem to be the prevalent fan theory, from what a cursory search would reveal.

To clarify, the Numbers certainly appear (everyone but Quattro in SSX, the ones who chose rehabilitation in Vivid and Force), but the clones of Jail are never mentioned. The possibilities would seem to be: 1) continued dormancy due to Jail not being dead, 2) abortions -- which are not as morally fraught in Japanese culture as in Western/Christian culture, or 3) Jail was bluffing.  There's absolutely no evidence for any of these, so you pays your money and you takes your choice.

Scaglietti tells Fate after his capture that the clones are due to be born in a month's time, which contradicts the idea that they'll only be born if the real Scaglietti dies.

What was it that Rido did to the Night Class?
In the Vampire Knight anime, when the Night Class is getting ready to attack him, Rido holds up one of his hands, from which black shadows shoot out and wrap around the Night Class.
I am wondering, is this a representation of Rido's power as a Pure Blood to force other vampires to obey? Or is it a unique ability he possesses, like the case with other vampires (Aido can freeze stuff, Ruka has hypnosis)?

It's been a long time since I've seen the anime but I vaguely remember Rido's unique power having something to do with some kind of poison effect. Its not literally poison, but a slow, painful draw on one's life-force. If I'm right, then that's definitely not what happened in the scene with the night class. I think it's related to Rido being a pure-blooded vampire, but a little more in depth to his specific family line. This is what really makes him a unique character. Surely if these questions are ever firmly answered, it will only be with further questions.

Thanks for the edit. I'll try to improve my grammar. I've been getting a lot of edits for capitAls.

What are the Tailed Beasts (Bijuu) actually made of?
What kind of creatures are these Tailed Beasts?
I know they are the summation of huge amount of chakra and a body.
If they are just chakra, can't the chakra itself be the body?
What do Tailed Beasts need the body for?

Bijuu are living beings, same as humans and animals. They were created by the Sage of Six Paths, using the Creation of All Things technique.
The sage created the vessels with Yin, breathed life into them with Yang, then poured the Ten Tails' chakra into them.
Chakra is merely energy. It cannot take complex physical form (With the exception of the Creation of All Things, which uses chakra to create form).

if bijuus are same as humans ? can we seal a human inside another human ? I dont think so ?

@Barun: Why not? Minato sealed (a part of) himself and Kushina inside Naruto, along with Kurama. It's most definitely possible.

i guess that was just chakra, not the actual body

@Barun, actually, have you seen Orchimaru's hands sealed in to Sarutobi's body? That I think is a good example.

As per what has been revealed.
Juubi (Shinju) was initially a Tree before taking the beast form.
This tree produced one single fruit every 1000 years. And it was considered as a forbidden fruit and should not be consumed by anyone.
However, this law was broken by a princess name Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and she gained unbelievable amount of power, which she used to end all the wars and clear lands.
Then, Kaguya gave birth to the first human with chakra. He was called Hagoromo.
Then came the awakening of the Ten Tails due to the mistake made by Kaguya.
The Ten Tails went on rampage and started destroying everything.
Hagoromo somehow managed to defeat it and sealed it within himself. This made him the Sage of Six Paths.
Hagoromo separated the monster's chakra from its body before using Chibaku Tensei to seal the husk in what would become the moon.
Then he used his Creation of All Things ability to divide the chakra into the nine Tailed Beasts.
So in short, this is basically chakra which is stored in a vessel.  Here the Tailed Beasts are just vessels.
You can even consider it as 9 different beasts which were originally normal animals, but they got their powers when the Sage gave them chakra. That can be a reason why every Tailed Beast resembles a particular animal.

Why did Bartholomew Kuma allow Vegapunk to turn him fully into a pacifista?

Kuma seems to have a good enough relationship with Vegapunk. Vegapunk was able to grant him his final wish as a human being, which was to program Kuma to protect the Straw Hats ship until their return. It is very likely that Vegapunk highly respects Kuma's strength, as he modified Kuma to be the prototype Pacifista, and he let Kuma do things that go against the World Government, as well as granting him his last wish by including a mission into his programming that Kuma himself had requested.

It is even shown that the bible he holds is his trademark. If that is true why would he sacrifice his consciousness along with his humanity if he lived life cherishing something that very much so represented humanity, freedom and free will?
If he much admired the prospect of free will, going as far as wanting his last wish to protect the Straw Hats ship, why would he even agree to losing his humanity and getting modified to a fully-fledged Pacifista?
Is it ever mentioned or is it just some extremely personal relationship stuff shared between Vegapunk and Kuma?

I don't think it's been revealed yet

aww disappointing :/

it might turn out that kuma owed vega punk big time so he had to repay it this away!! :P

It might be Dragon who ordered him too. Or maybe he felt so guilty for the horrible things he did in the past, that he wanted to pay for his sins to serve the WG fully by catching criminals.

Kuma is a part of revolutionary army. He only checked the willpower of Luffy's nakama(Zoro) that Zoro can serve his Captain though he could have captured Straw Hat Luffy's Crew. Sengoku talk with him about it with Garp.Kuma used his power to protect Straw Hat Luffy's crew from Kaizuru and transfer them in different place. This is treason. He is against Marine. So he is punished, this may reason. His replica was use to build Pacifista. Vegapunk may have seen something with Kuma's body.Using original one to build powerful pacifista(PX-00). These are not official but concluded from different arc.

@mirroroftruth it was not punishment for helping strawhats. he stated before even helping them that he will be fully transformed soon and lose sense of himself (I think it was during the war to Ivankov).

@Quikstryke At the war Kuma was already a Pacifista. He told Rayleigh during his fight with Kizaru that he didn't have much time and wanted to help the straw hats, so indeed, it can't be punishment for that time.  I also doubt it to be punishment for letting the people at thriller bark live, as he was already part Pacifista by that time. Time will tell what the real reason was he changed.

An explanation is that after rescuing straw hats at sabaody, he was defeated by Kizaru and captured in seastone cuffs. After that he probably received death penalty, but since hes a pacifista project he was probably sent to vegapunk to have his brain removed.
His capture and punishment was not mentioned somewhere in the manga/anime.
However, this is a VERY PLAUSIBLE theory on why Kuma was turned into a full pacifista. Certainly a more plausible theory than the 'he did this for dragon', or 'dragon ordered him to do so' nonsense theories that are floating around in this discussion, neither of which are mentioned anywhere in canon either.
It is highly unlikely Kuma was willingly turned into a full pacifista. Some people posted here that 'he did this for Dragon', 'Dragon ordered him to do so'. What? How would doing so benefit Dragon and revolutionaries? How would it benefit Kuma himself (obviously won't since he would be dead?) What other POSSIBLE incentive that world govt offered him or the revolutionary that could be so great, that it would outweigh the consequence of him being dead? Probably none. Therefore it leads to conclusion that the government forced that choice upon him. Straight up executing him most likely wouldn't have been an attractive option, since they would need as many shichibukai on their side to face against whitebeard. Therefore all these points toward my theory - that Kuma was punished for opposing the marines and an admiral from carrying out the order to purge the tenryuubito's attackers. Thats why world govt most likely decided to fully transform Kuma into a pacifista in order to both punish him and turn him into a fully loyal slave.
Kuma was certainly aware that this would be his punishment, thats why he stated that this will be the last time he will meet the strawhats.
Vegapunk most likely was in a good relationship with Kuma and likely did not want to turn him into a full cyborg either, but he had to do so under the pressure from the world govt. Thats why Vegapunk likely programmed in Kuma's request to protect the Sunny.

This is at best pure speculation, then again, every answer is pure speculation, because we know the answer exists and we know it was not revealed yet.

How did he become in the side of the government if he is in dragon's side? If he is there to help the strawhats, why did he have to take luffy's pain and give it to zoro as an option of letting luffy live??

I believe Kuma did this for Dragon. If Vegapunk does not like the WG we could see Vegapunk give control of the pacifista and Kuma when the time comes. I dont think he would willingly do this to help the wg as he directly opposes it.

interesting theory.  I can see his willpower overcome the programming at some point and take control of the other Pacifistas, or maybe Franky has a hand in awakening his true self.

Dragon definitly Knows why kuma did it, as he said it over the den den mushi to ivanakov or whatever the Newkama's name is, which i forget right now. Vegapunk is also a scientest, he's intelligent, probably knows about the corruption of the WG and might be secretly and slowly helping the revolutionary army, or may not really care whos in charge, so long as he gets to do his science stuff, but probably has some code he live by to allow this to happen.

well first things first, he's one of the Revolutionary Army, and I thinks he's willing to do everything for the sake of their Army, willingly turning himself into a Pacifista "may be" a voluntary action by himself to earn the full trust of the WG (again, he willing to do everything for the army's sake right??) and on my understanding, Dragon is a very good leader and would not force his nakama like Kuma to be a cyborg just for the army..and on that finals request to Vegapunk for his final modification, it is still unclear why Vegapunk allow that to happen since he's under the WG and knows that Luffy is a pirate, he must really respect Kuma as a colleague so he grant his request or knew Dragon or Garp in the past to grant that kind of request which is of course against the WG ideals.

How Orochimaru is still mentally active after being stabbed by Totsuka sword?
As per Sword of Totsuka article on Naruto wiki,

Those who are stabbed by the sword are drawn into the jar and trapped in a genjutsu-like "world of drunken dreams" for all eternity

If a person is stabbed by Totsuka sword, he gets caught in an eternal genjutsu, which means his mind can't be active anymore. But, how come Orochimaru is still mentally active? I assume that, though he could get different bodies, the mind is the same for all.

gentle reminder.....incase if my answer convinced you please do accept it..... would really appreciate on doing that.....

The jutsu which Orochimaru used is called Juinjutsu. Orochimaru was unable to use Sage Mode and thus had to create an alternative way to make use of Senjutsu.

In addition to his various test subjects, Orochimaru gave cursed seals to some of his most powerful and unique followers, either to enhance their abilities or to prepare them for becoming potential host bodies. To apply a cursed seal, Orochimaru bites the recipient, doing so with the aid of his sharp fangs and extendible neck. The seal then appears on the body of the victim near the puncture wound before causing them to lose consciousness.

Now try recalling the concept of Bunshin no Jutsu. When clones are created, it has mind of their own. As a result, when it is released, the original would get the details of clone's experience. Clearly Orochimaru's technique is not Bunshin. It's much more evolved than that. He shares a portion of his power in the host's body and tries to reside in the body. So naturally, it has a different mind.
Try recalling the incident during Kabuto and Sasuke fight. After Orochimaru was revived from Anko Mitarashi's body by Uchiha Sasuke, he said that he had been seeing the entire war from Anko's body, which clearly showed that he was mentally active inside the host's body.

What has been added and/or changed in the 2 Gurren Lagann movies compared to TV series?
From what I heard, the 2 Gurren Lagann movies are shortened version of the TV series. Is there anything new added or modified in the movies, or are they just summaries of the TV series? If there are any additions or modifications, would you please list them out?
I am aware that the content is compressed, so it is expected that many scenes from the TV series will be shortened to squeeze 675 minutes' worth of content into 120 (Gurren-hen) + 130 (Lagann-hen) = 250 minutes of the 2 movies. I am only interested in the new scenes and modifications to existing plot. An exclusion caused by modification to existing plot also counts.

The first movie (Gurren-hen or Childhood's End) is basically a recap of the first half of the tv series, similarly the second movie (Lagann-hen or The Lights in the Sky Are Stars) covers the second half.
There is around 20 minutes of new material in the first film and a bit more in the second film - primarily added in the final battle
The only changes in plot were that

 Makken doesn't die

&

 The Gurren Lagann evolves to an even higher stage, becoming Dai Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann which is even larger than galaxies!

There's an overall improvement in the animation quality, noticeably making battle scenes more thrilling.

also seemingly Yoko's breasts are slightly bigger in the movies ref.

Just one request for the answer: Can you give a brief description of what was in the added footage for the first movie?

I couldn't find what was added in the first film, having seen it though it's probably just longer fight scenes or something else nonessential

Which anime is this woobie taken from?
I saw this image on TV tropes:

Which anime is it taken from?

Possible duplicate of Where is this picture from? How do I use Reverse Image Search to find the source of an anime/manga image?

This image is from the third game in the In'youchuu eroge series, In'youchuu Etsu ~Kairaku Henka Taimaroku~. It does have an OVA adaptation, but I've linked to the first OVA in the series rather than this one as the image for this one is not work-safe. If you do intend to search for information regarding this, keep in mind that this series is literally pornography and that most of the content related to it would not be appropriate to  post here.
VNDB has the following description of the game:

One day, Yamato, Mikoto and Takeru visit a village in the mountain for the training to be monster hunters. They have various hard trainings and finally become the monster hunters. But there is something wrong with Yamato's body.... His body gradually changes into a monster.... What is happening to his body? Who can stop it? To save Yamato, Mikoto and Takeru make every effort. What is a secret of Yamato's body? What will happen to Mikoto and Takeru?

The characters in the image are Yamato and Mikoto. Yamato's body has a sealed demon inside him, which is released at this particular moment in the story. This image is an image of Yamato from the OVA:

Why does Shanks already have his scar at the beginning of One Piece?

In this image of Shanks from Luffy's hometown, Luffy was still quite young.
However, it is said that he got his scar from Blackbeard. Did he get his scar when Blackbeard was still a part of Whitebeard's crew? Because I think that when he got this scar, Ace was already after Blackbeard and the commander of 2nd division, but at this time, Ace and Luffy were still young.

Shanks' jolly roger makes me wonder, whether it might have been at the time he was still a roger pirate. After the death of Roger he formed his own crew and thus his jolly roger, which means, he must have gotten the scar on board the pirate king's ship. Just my two cents.

The story of the origin of the particular scar (left eye) is told in Chapter 434 / Episode 316. It's given to him by Blackbeard while still on Whitebeard's ship, as part of their crew. By the time Ace and Luffy have grown up, Shanks is one of the Emperors.

The conversation hits a more serious note as Shanks points to his scarred left eye. One of Whitebeard's crew gave it to him, Marshall D. Teach. Shanks has known what Teach has been up to all these years and tries to warn Whitebeard of what may happen if Ace and Teach meet, he begs Whitebeard to stop the search. When Whitebeard outright refuses and states he will teach Teach about morals, Shanks reacts by drawing his sword, stating the rampaging era will not be stopped. Whitebeard and Shanks clash weapons, splitting the skies to the shock of both captains' crew members.

Source: http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Chapter_434

Does he get his scar when Blackbeard was still part of Whitebeard's crew?

Presumably yes, as long as most of Blackbeard's activities happened as he posed as just another crew member of the Whitebeard pirates which Shanks deduced was his cover to how threatening he really is.
But to clarify more of your suspicions, this does mean that it took Shanks (at least) 10 whole years before he told Whitebeard this guy is sinister and strong.
The timeline is Shanks & crew docking at Luffy's village in Luffy's flashback from Episode of Luffy: Adventure on Hand Island. There was episode 4 of One Piece that shows Luffy's past, but this flashback includes when/how he gets his scar & follows closer to Chapter 1: Romance Dawn.
Luffy is 19 in the New World (has flashback) -> 12 years earlier caption -> Luffy is 7 & Shanks has a scar.
The meeting with Whitebeard happens while the Strawhat Crew is in Water 7 when Luffy is age 17. Shanks only met with Whitebeard once he knew Ace was hunting him down, not just to tell him about the scar which might explain his wait.

Shanks got his scar from Blackbeard the time he was with the Roger Pirates or before he created his own crew. At the meeting (ep.434) with Whitebeard, Shanks said they have been fighting since then, means that Shanks got his scar before he became the captain of Red Hair Pirates. Because, if you notice the flag of the Red Hair Pirates in chapter 1 or episode 1, the flag has a scar already.

Perhaps. Before Whitebeard announced One Piece was real, he had a flashback of when Roger was still alive. In that flashback, he commented on how there was a member of his crew named "Marshall D. Teach”, showing how Teach had joined before Shanks had his scars. Coincidentally, at Roger's execution, Shanks had his straw hat pulled down over his eyes, not giving any indication of having or not having the scar at that time.

It's simple. When Roger and Whitebeard clashed for 3 days, you can see young Blackbeard with a weapon with three blades, and Shanks' scar also has three blade marks, so most probably shanks got that scar as a kid.

Please add further details to expand on your answer, such as working code or documentation citations.

Shanks might have got that scar when he was with Roger Pirates. Red hair pirate's flag had the scar mark, so he must have got the scar before becoming a captain. Or it can be a mistake by anime artists like they did in episode 461 where he had both his hands intact.

Who is the main character in Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works?
I just want to know who is the main character in Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works, in the sense that every season has a different main character.

The main cast stays the same, but UBW is Rin's route in the VN.

Indeed, Rin is best girl in this route.

Although in some sense, Shirou is the main character of every route of Fate/Stay Night since he's the most common viewpoint character (in the VN) and typically a focal point for the story. But who comes to prominence among the other cast changes, and as nhahtdh and ʞɹɐzǝɹ said, Unlimited Blade Works focuses on Rin and Archer.

Archer and Rin ..

Adding to Memor's answer: In Fate Hollow Ataraxia (sequel to FSN) the main character is still Shirou, but there is no main heroine. All 3 heroines plus Caren try to date Shirou but he doesn't enter a formal reationship with any of them at the end. It's basically a harem once you reach the true ending.

[...] every season has a different main character

This is actually incorrect. Fate/stay night always has the same main character Shirou Emiya. In the visual novels, you always play/read in the perspective of Shirou, with some exceptions:

Various interludes (such as in the Fate route, the scene where Saber left to attack Ryuudou Temple in the middle of the night, going against the group's decision not to attack, is played in the perspective of Saber).
The Prologue, which plays at the beginning when you start the game up for the first time (replayable from the Extra's Menu). You play as Rin Tohsaka from the morning before she summoned Archer until the point where Archer was attacked by Saber.

However, depending on the route, there is a second character whom the story focuses on. The female main character is always the heroine/romance interest of Shirou during the said route.

In the Fate route, it is Saber
In the Unlimited Blade Works route, it is Rin Tohsaka
In the Heaven's Feel route, it is Sakura Matou

So in regards to the Fate/stay night anime adaptations, Shirou is always the male lead, while the female lead in

Studio Deen's 2006 Fate/stay night anime adaption, it is Saber (the majority of the series adapts the Fate route)
Studio Deen's 2010 Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works movie adaptation, it is Rin Tohsaka (the movie poorly adapts the Unlimited Blade Works route)
Ufotable's 2014-2015 Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works anime adaptation, it is Rin Tohsaka (it adapts and adds onto the Unlimited Blade Works route)
Ufotable's TBA Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel anime adaptation, it is Sakura Matou

Apart from the heroines, their Servant also get featured in their respective routes:

In Fate, it remains as Saber
In Unlimited Blade Works, it is Archer
In Heaven's Feel, it is Rider

I also remembering reading somewhere that there was originally a plan for a route in which Ilya was a Heroine, but it was later scrapped and merged into the Fate Route (apparently, a dinner scene in which Ilya is a part of was taken from this route). So had this route been published, Berserker most likely would be the Servant featured.
So to answer your question, Shirou is still the main male character, but Rin Tohsaka is the main female character in Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works.
Sources:

Ufotable's Type-Moon Wikia Page
Studio Deen's Wikipedia Page

In the afterword to Fate/Zero Vol. 1, Kinoko Nasu mentions that there was an Ilya route in the first draft of Fate/Stay Night.

I believe the scrapped Illya route is also mentioned in one of the "Tiger Dojo" scenes in the VN.

According to the author of the game (Nasu) it would be Shirou in all 3 routes and the main theme of the game is his growth and being able to conquer himself.
When asked about the main theme in an interview Nasu said:

Interviewer: - What was the theme you are trying to express?
Nasu: The main theme is "conquering oneself." There are three story lines in Fate, each has a different themes. The first one is the "oneself as an ideal." The second one is "struggling with oneself as an ideal." The third one is "the friction with real and ideal."
This game is describing the growth of the MAIN CHARACTER Emiya Shirou. The first storyline shows his slanted mind, the next storyline shows his resolve, and the last storyline gives another resolution for him as a human. All three storylines are essentially equal, but they have different forms.

And there the part that answers your question the most is:

Nasu: This game is describing the growth of the MAIN CHARACTER Emiya Shirou. The first storyline shows his slanted mind, the next storyline shows his resolve, and the last storyline gives another resolution for him as a human.
