How did they put Shiryu in his cage?
In the Impel Down Arc, it was said that Shiryu (also known as Shiryu of the Rain) is on par with Magellan in terms of strength. How did they put Shiryu in his cage if he is on equal strength with the Chief Warden Magellan?

well beside Magellan they still have lots of powerful Marine on their side, also they can call help from Marine HQ. I don't think Shiryu alone can handle all of them.

^ This. A bunch of vice admirals or even an admiral might have assisted.

From One Piece Wikia:

His strength is also said to be equal to the Chief Warden Magellan. However, since Magellan's work hours are limited by his diarrhea, Shiliew was considered more dangerous. Despite this, Magellan was still able to suppress Shiliew and place him in a cell in Level 6.

So you are right about their strength. But I could imagine that they trapped him, or Magellan asked an Admiral for support.
About their strength: I believe Shiryu has no chance against Magellan, because of his Venom-Venom Fruit. He just has to hit him a few times, or maybe just once to poison him and that would be Shiryu's end.

Does Layla have some sort of connection to the X777 event?
We all know that the dragons apparently disappeared in the year X777. At the same time, Lucy's mother, Layla Heartfilia, died at the age of 29. I don't know the cause of her death, it's just that I know she passed away at the same year.
Layla Heartfilia seemed to be a powerful Celestial mage given that she had three Golden keys (Aquarius, Capricorn, and Cancer; these three are pretty powerful too) and she probably had more than that (Silver keys or something).
It hasn't been mentioned whether Layla died the same day the dragons disappeared, just that it's the same year, or has it? So I was wondering, could she have had some sort of connection with the disappearance of the dragons?
Yes, the truth about the disappearance of the dragons has been revealed and all, but I still think that there's still something behind this.

Too bad the dragons can't reveal anything anymore.

There have been theories about this, but this hasn't been covered in the manga yet. So for now your ideas are as good as anyone's.

Oh okay. I thought I probably missed it and it has already been covered. Thank you, though.

The answer to this question is YES.
As of the current update on Manga, 7th of July X777 is the day that 'Layla Heartfilia' opens the door of the future for the dragons.

I don't think so, if you take a look at the Fairy Tail timeline you see that for some events there is no exact date known.
According to the timeline, these events happened somewhere in the year X777:

Romeo Conbolt is born.
Lector is born.
Layla dies of an unknown illness.

Therefore we can assume that the aforementioned events did not happen on July 7.
Underneath that you see the events of July 7 X777,

All dragons disappeared on 7 July.
Natsu is found by Makarov and invited to join Fairy Tail.
Mystogan left Edolas through an Anima portal and enters Earth Land.
Natsu Dragneel, Gajeel Redfox, and Wendy Marvell's Dragon parents leave them.

I think there is a bigger chance it had to do something with Mystogan coming to Earthland.

Maybe its time to update this answer with the new shocking reveal that she was involved.

@Ryan feel free to edit.

Explain about Ergo Proxy and Proxy one and their relation with Monard Proxy
I just now finished Ergo Proxy and have few questions regarding it. Please Help
1) Who loved Monard Proxy initially? Proxy One or Ergo Proxy?
2) Who created Romdo? Proxy One or Ergo Proxy?
3) Why did Proxy One create Ergo Proxy in the first Place? And why did Ergo Proxy had his memory locked away? Was it according to some plan of Proxy One?
4) Which one was imperfect Proxy? Since the creator of Romdo is Considered imperfect?
5) why did the creator of Romdo fled it? whichever proxy it was?
thanks a lot :)

I haven't seen Ergo Proxy, but this question doesn't strike me as primarily opinion-based. If you're voting to close on that basis, it would be nice if you would leave a comment saying why.

Ok so after thinking over this and reading some other stuff I believe the answers might be:

At first Proxy One loved Monad and Monad loved him back. Then Ergo was created, and as he was basically a Proxy One clone, he also loved Monad and Monad loved both as they were regarded as one.
Romdo was created by Proxy One, Romdo was most likely created before Ergo Proxy. (You could argue about it being also created [or co-created] by Ergo as the series discusses about identity and about Proxy and Ergo having the same persona, being one and the same, despite of them having 2 separate bodies. Proxy One regarded Ergo as a part of him and in turn he was a part of Ergo, he regarded both of them together as Proxy One and each separate body as a part of One, not a copy; Ergo struggled to define himself as a different entity.)
This is a very complicated topic, some argue Proxy One created Ergo so that Ergo could live the life Proxy One longed for without any knowledge of the Proxy Project. I believe it was to kill Monad. Proxy One loved Monad. Proxy One was the agent of death. He was destined to kill Monad. But he loved her. So he created a copy of himself who was appointed to carry his Proxy duty and kill Monad. But the copy, Ergo, also loved Monad, and Monad loved both Ergo and Proxy One. So Ergo decided to wipe his memory to avoid his destiny of killing Monad, and Monad helped him using the Amnesia autoreiv. Probably Proxy One left Mosk after he created Ergo, so he wouldn't witness Monad's death, but the plan failed as Ergo wiped his memory, then came Romdo's attack, Monad's kidnaping, and Vincent's migration to Romdo. When Proxy One came back, he found Ergo had failed his duty, and thus the story begins.
All proxies were imperfect as they were created by humans. The creator of Romdo was considered imperfect but it was never intended to be perfect. Proxies were created so they could create humans, but humans were imperfect from the start. So imperfect humans created imperfect Proxies to create more imperfect humans. What's the point on that? Why create more imperfect Humans to live on Earth if the original imperfect humans destroyed it in the first place? I don't know, ask Proxy One ;)
Proxy One fled from Romdo as he wanted to live with Monad whom he loved. He had issues with the overall raison d'etre of the Proxy Project which also conflicted with his proxy duties so he fled.

This are my interpretations, feel free to discuss/change/dismiss/adapt them to what the story meant to you. Although this questions about the events where the catalyst that led to the animated story, they are left unanswered and left to the viewers interpretation as their answers depend of the viewers understanding of the themes discussed (theology, identity, perfection, purpose, etc.)
Hope it helps :)

Did chakra come from the Juubi?
Did chakra really come from the Juubi?
I saw the flashbacks where Rikudo Sennin's mother took chakra from the Juubi and that the Juubi was a tree first. Is that correct?

Your assumption is close, but not 100% correct. Chakra did not come from the Juubi, but the Juubi came as a incarnation of the tree, also known as Shinju. The fruit which grew on the tree, known as the chakra fruit was first eaten by Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, making her the first chakra user, and the origins of chakra as used now a days.
Bit more details below, but also massive spoilers.

 After Kaguya Otsutsuki (Rikudo Sennin's mother) ate the fruit known as the chakra fruit that grew on the tree, she obtained almost god like powers. Which she then used to single handedly end all wars at the time. This makes her the first wielder of chakra.

 She slowly went insane. On the brink of insanity, she incarnated with Shinju to create the Juubi. After that, she went into a fit of anger after finding out that her 2 sons, Hagoromo and Hamura, inherited her powerful chakra and dojutsu respectively.

May I ask how do you know that Dimitri mx?

@NatsuDragneel I follow the manga. I used the narutopedia to cross reference what I remembered from reading.

Yep, thats pretty much it. Source of chakra was the legendary tree and it's fruit was eaten by Kaguya. Although, the anime sort of also implies that the tree transformed itself into the Juubi to get revenge for it's power/chakra being stolen. Not sure, if what you said about the incarnation, is correct or not.

Does anyone actually die?
I've started watching Naruto and was wondering if anyone actually dies or if it is like Dragon Ball and it never really happens.
Please no spoilers about who dies, just if someone does or if there are serious injuries inflicted.

Yes, people die.  The first major arc (Zabuza arc) features multiple deaths. Several villains die throughout the story.  Some country leaders also die, as do some fairly plot-important characters and/or their relatives.  A lot of the most important characters end up near-death, but survive for various reasons.  Not all of those are able to recover well enough to resume their previous lives.

 Some of the dead ones don't stay dead, though.  Some of those come back as zombies.  But then they go back to being dead.  Others just get a resurrection spell cast on them.  Kind of like in Dragon Ball.

Dude, seriously?! That's one of the biggest spoilers.

TMI for a question specifically asks for no spoilers, Thus I completely agree with Alchemist

There are often serious injuries inflicted on "good guys" which causes them to be assumed dead but they usually end up alive and well with a few exceptions here and there.

 There is a medical ninja who basically magically cures everyone.

The villains die more often but some of the stronger ones live and cause a lot of trouble. Most just die though.

You can put spoilers in a dedicated spoiler-tag, by starting the line with ">!". That way, people can decide themselves whether they want to see the spoiler. I did it for you now, but this is how you are supposed to mark spoilers in the future. Anyway, welcome to the Anime & Manga Stackexchange. I hope you enjoy it here :)

How is Lola (a general zombie) able to do what she wants?
During Thriller Bark Arc, it was shown that all general zombies are under the command of Absalom and all zombies must follow the orders of their commander.
Then how is Lola able to chase after Absalom even though he keeps telling her that he will not marry her? Also, Lola comes and saves Nami from Absalom even though they are enemies and Lola was given order to fight Straw Hat crew?

Must follow command does not mean you must follow, Lola does not follow command but follow Absalom *Chikai no Rabu Atakku*

and what is 'Chikai no Rabu Atakku'@mirroroftruth

that is her attack , she pin down Absalom and force him to sign the marriage certificate, that is the gag should have added smiley

The answer can be found when Moria infuses Oars' body with Luffy's shadow, in Chapter 457. Moria is the Master of Shadows; when he is talking to a shadow directly, he has complete control over them. Therefore, it is during that time that he needs to give details directives to the shadows before he infuses the shadow in the Zombie's body.
For example, if he does explicitly state that the shadow should forget everything about his past, his personality might remain with the Zombie. Note that Luffy's personality remained at first because of the size difference between the shadow's original body and Oar's.
As Dr. Hogback states, they were not always aware of those rules and therefore made some mistakes with a number of Zombies (the only confirmed case is Cindy). We can however extend that theory to other Zombies which did not necessarily obey their masters perfectly, like Lola.
(For conciseness purposes, only part of pages 4 and 5 are shown.)

The Zombies are created when a deceased/artificially created body is infused with another living person's shadow. The shadow possesses its own will, think Ryouma's body with Brook's shadow and how they fought, with the zombie disregarding Moriya completely for quite some time, as Brook is mentioned to have fought Ryouma/Shadow Brook for quite some time.
It's not uncommon for other shadows to be able to overpower Moriya's attempted control, or at the very least, where their basic instincts and impulses, ingrained into their very personalities is concerned. The Straw Hat crew zombies, like the pug Inuppe and the Jigoro constantly fighting, like their originals, Sanji and Zoro.

Can you possibly post any sources you have to backup this answer?

Weaknesses

You may also want to point out that Sanji's shadow in Inuppe body immediately reacted to Nami, to the point of revolting against the other zombies in order to protect her. He also used a line that is a trademark of Sanji "I would die rather than hurting a woman". It is quite evident that this answer has its merits. Shadows can oppose Moria order if their will or ideals are strong enough, fitting to One Piece usual themes.

Why can Naruto use Rasengan more than Kakashi using Chidori?
Shinobi using Rasengan can often use it more times in a battle as compared to a shinobi using Chidori. Kakashi on one hand, could only use Chidori upto a maximum of four times a day in Part 1. Naruto, however, even when he is using Shadow clones (meaning that he would have only a fraction of the chakra he normally has) still has no trouble using the Rasengan more than that and still have plenty of chakra.
The Rasengan is almost equally, if not more, powerful than the Chidori. So the Rasengan should require the same or more amount of chakra than the Chidori.  Naruto is also said to be very inefficient in using jutsu. So even though he has more chakra than Kakashi, his Rasengan would be less efficient than Kakashi's Chidori.
I do not believe that Naruto chakra levels are so vast, that even with the use of shadow clones and being inefficient while using jutsu, he can use it multiple times while still retaining plenty of chakra.
So why can Naruto use the Rasengan more than Kakashi using the Chidori?

He has a bigger chakra pool, naturally.

Kakashi himself admitted that young Naruto has more chakra than him, while showing Naruto that he can also use Shadow clones.. During the RasenShuriken training episode..

Expanding on krazer's comment, Naruto is of Uzumaki lineage. And the Uzumaki clan is known for their vast chakra reserves.

Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu , kinjutsu(forbidden jutsu), naruto able to perform it before academy graduation perfectly proves that his clone has away more chakra then Kakashi himself. I can't confirm that but IIRC his multiple shadow used rasengan.

Well!! We are comparing Kakashi with a reincarnation of Ashura Ootsutsuki, the younger son of Hagoromo Ootsutsuki. Also Naruto belongs to Uzumaki clan which is known to have a bigger chakra reserves than other shinobis. Apart from these theories, I'm not sure about the chakra consumption when comparing nature manipulation (chidori) with shape manipulation (rasengan).

Naruto have bigger chakra pool, Kakashi have smaller than him and he have to use Sharingan in tandem with Chidori and keep alert when he is in Tunnel Vision.

If I recall correctly, at one time, Kakashi commented that Naruto's chakra is about 4 times of what he has. With addition to Kyuubi's chakra, Naruto has about 100 times what Kakashi has. Suppose that Kakashi's chakra is 4, Chidori then costs 1 chakra for each use. Naruto has 4 times what Kakashi has so he has 16. Kage Bunshin actually costs small amount of chakra. The problem with Kage Bunshin is that it splits the chakra of the user which makes it appear as if it costs a lot.
But, when the jutsu is cancelled either by when the Bunshin gets hit, or the caster cancels it, the chakra comes back to the caster along with its experience. Suppose that Naruto doesn't cancel and re-cast Kage Bunshin, there won't be additional chakra cost for casting the jutsu.
Chidori cost = 1
Rasengan cost = 1
Kage Bunshin cost = 0.5 <- assuming it cost lower than Rasengan
Kakashi Chakra = 4
Naruto Chakra = 16
Inefficient chakra usage modifier = 200% (was 125% but changed as per ThatOneGuys's comment)
Kakashi Max Chidori = 4 / 1 = 4
Naruto Max Rasengan = (16 - 0.5 * 200%) / (1 x 200%) = 15 / 2 = 7.5 -> 7 (rounded down)
Without using Kyuubi's chakra, Naruto can do about 2 times more Rasengan than Kakashi can use Chidori. With Kyuubi's chakra, Naruto would be able to do about 100 times more. Of course, since with the training Naruto improved his chakra control, the current Naruto can do more Rasengan than this simple calculation shows.
The reference about Naruto's and Kakashi's chakra pool size and the fact about Kage Bunshin splitting the user's chakra and returning it when the jutsu was cancelled is from the episode where Kakashi train Naruto to develop Rasen Shuriken.

In one episode Naruto is told that his jutsu are inefficient and this is expressed with a short cartoon comparing Naruto to Sakura and Sasuke using Shadow Clone Jutsu. A bar showed how much chakra was consumed and Naruto's bar was significantly higher than 125% Sakura's and Sasuke's bars. Also Naruto didn't make as many clones as Sakura or Sasuke. Kakashi is even more efficient than Sasuke or Sakura when making Shadow Clones. For example after Zabuza is defeated Kakashi states that he has little chakra left and still produces many clones. I think that 125% is a little bit generous.

This makes a lot of sense, but the problem is Naruto without directly using Kyubbis chakra has had mass clones use dozens of Rasengans. Its really one of the few plotholes in the Original series, the numbers do not add up every time.

He's an Uzumaki, so he already has large chakra reserves to begin with. It's not a plothole.

Naruto not only has a natural vast chakra pool but he has even the Kyuubi supliying him with nearly unlimited chakra amounts.

 and even Kakashi could use the Rasengan pretty easily

Even if in the manga and anime it is stated that Naruto's chakra managament is poor

 because the seal on his belly

After a lot of training and getting rid of some limitations, he improved his chakra management vastly and even learned how to recover chakra in combat.

 thanks to the Sage mode

Plus, it is stated multiple times in the manga/anime that the Rasengan, even though it uses a lot of chakra, isn't comparable on the amount of chakra the Chidori uses. Chakra bending is a lot less taxing than giving an elemental nature to a bending

 Naruto's Rasenshuriken is a Rasengan imbued with his Wind element.

I guess that naruto's humongous power comes from the nine tails chakra that is sealed within him and due to this naruto obviously has more chakra than kakashi due to which he can do more rasengan than kakashi can do chidori

Well Kakashi was making a rough estimate when comparing Naruto's chakra to his own.  First of all by part 2 I'm pretty sure Kakashi's chakra pool had grown to the point that he could make 6 lightning blades each day or a little more.  Plus Rasengan was never said to take up a lot of chakra.  Giant Rasengan was stated to take up more chakra because of its density so I think a lightning blade could be comparable to a giant Rasengan.  But even then Naruto clearly has more than 4 times Kakashi's chakra.  He has made dozens of clones and each could have done multiple Rasengans.
Plus by the time Naruto learns sage mode, Naruto could have done around 6 Rasenshurikens with other Rasengan variants and still not seem to have any noticeable chakra fatigue.  I would say Naruto's chakra reserve is at least 6-8 times that of Kakashi's for him to be able to do so many Rasenshurikens when they take up a lot more chakra than a lightning blade.

It's because The rasengan is an incomplete jutsu. And naruto was the one to perfect it. His dad invented it but never mastered it

Can you elaborate on how this answers the question.

It's because Naruto generally has more chakra; thus can use more jutsu than Kakashi, whos chakra reserves have been getting cut after the fourth war. Naruto has been able to use multiple variants of Rasengan and Rasen-Shuriken more than Kakashi can use a normal Chidori, and its because Naruto's chakra reserves are simply larger than Kakashi's.

Is the Shinigami dead?
As per Narutopedia,

Orochimaru proceeded to don the mask which invoked the Shinigami to possess his body. Orochimaru then cut open the Shinigami's stomach, a wound reflected on his own body, to release the trapped contents inside the Shinigami

We know that Orochimaru used Wood clones (White Zetsu) to escape from the death. What happened to the Shinigami who got the same wounds? I know that Shinigami means 'Death God', but, nowhere it's mentioned that it's immortal.

Shinigami means 'God of Death'. I think it is reasonable to assume that God is above death or birth.

However to look at this objectively in the light of the manga, the shinigami is summoned by the Dead Demon Consuming Seal. Since it only acts as a container of souls, any impact on physical world should not reflect permanently in the spirit world. Additionally, it might be possible that on each invocation of the seal, a different shinigami is summoned. In which case, we cannot really say anything about the fate of a particular shinigami.

I will also propose another hypothesis. I think every person has their own personal manifestation of the shinigami in the Naruto universe. This solves a few problems. Two possible ways to go about it:

Every user summons a different shinigami. The shinigami devours the user's soul as well. Since a body cannot last long without its soul, the body will die soon. This raises two possibilities:

The shinigami dies along with the user. So every shiniami is different. There are as many shinigamis as there are people in the physical world.
The shinigami is immortal. There may be one or more of them.

Both possibilities ensure that any other person's summoning is not affected.
The user can never really summon the real shinigami. This means that every user gets a clone from the spirit world. But this could mean that any impact on a clone might reflect on the real one. Again we must assume that all shinigami must be immortal.
There exists just one real shinigami. And every user summons it with the seal or mask (more on this later). And it must be immortal because of reason stated in point 1.

The third idea seems best supported. The fact that there are several Oni-masks in the Uzumaki Clan's Mask Storage Temple seems to suggest that they might be representations of Gods. Thus the shinigami mask would then be associated with the 'God of Death'. Then it would mean only one 'real shinigami'. Every user summons it with either the seal or the mask. And it is immortal.

Assuming that the inventor of the jutsu used it before Orochimaru (so he could know not just about its existence but also how it works) the Shinigami can recover from such wounds.

Does the Infinite Tsukyomi work only on the living?
Why does the Infinite Tsukuyomi work only on the living? (As the Edo Tensei Hokages were not affected by it)

The reason why the Infinite Tsukuyomi works only on the living is, chakra. The goal of the Infinite Tsukuyomi is to extract chakra/life-force from the host and feed it to the Shinju. By doing this, the Shinju drains the victims' chakra pool and in the end, the victims become White Zetsu. The White Zetsu are then under the control of Kaguya, making them the ideal mindless slaves.
Since non living things do not have chakra, they obviously are of no use to the Shinju or Kaguya. Since the Edo Tensei shinobi are already dead, the "life force" requirement of the Infinite Tsukuyomi isn't not fulfilled.
Along with non living things, the following are also immune to the Infinite Tsukuyomi:

Shinobi reincarnated via Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation are not affected by this technique.
Black Zetsu is unaffected by the technique, as is anyone he is attached to at the time — namely Obito Uchiha.
Those who lack a brain or sensory organs, like White Zetsu.

You say Edo Tensei have No Chakra so from where was Minato able to share his 9 tails chakra and from where was Hasirama able to fight Madara .All this was not possible without chakra . I  think they didn't have real eyes and that is why were not effected . Tsukyomi is an eternal genjutsu .

I didn't say Edo Tensei didn't have any chakra. I said: Edo Tensei shinobi are already dead, the "life force" requirement... Infinite Tsukuyomi is a genjutsu, yes. But it doesn't work like normal genjutsu. See this answer: http://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/20151/why-is-everyone-affected-by-infinite-tsukuyomi/20152#20152 Therefore eyes aren't the essential step to trapping people into the genjutsu.

And Minato was able to share, like you mentioned, the Nine Tails' chakra. It doesn't override the Edo Tensei having no life force condition, as Minato uses Kyuubi's chakra and not his own (I doubt if he's able to do it)

Who has the biggest breasts in the Naruto series?
Right now, I think it is Tsunade, but is there anyone else who has bigger breasts than Tsunade?
It seems in Leaf village, Hinata is 2nd. From Road to Naruto, Chapter 1, page 11:

There's Samui of Team Samui... Tsunade's measurements were given by Jiraiya. Measurements of other characters were not revealed. Hence the comparison would be visual guesses

Go answer it, Ero Sennin!

This question is incredibly stupid, but I don't think it's primarily opinion-based.

This isn't opinion based. He's looking for facts people. He wants to know who actually has the largest chest.

@LukifurHelbringer It is primarly opinion-based, because there are isn't any site that actually has measurements. This means it's only visual, which is not a real comparison.

@pap - just because there's no info on it doesn't make it opinion based - a valid answer (like ero's) is that there is no information

@ToshinouKyouko Think about what you just said. Without info, there are no evidence and without evidence there is no answer. What I am trying to say is, that there isn't any measurements for this, so it's only what you see. And as far as I know in anime you cannot say something for sure , until the editor makes a databook of some sort.  So without a databook, it is opinion based. We all know that this site needs answers with enough evidence, and in this case we don't have enough evidence to say if this is the right answer or wrong.

@pap I understand what you're trying to say - yes answers could potentially be opinion-based - but there is definitely a definitive answer, whether or not it has been revealed.
If you still disagree with the reopening - perhaps post on meta, or come talk on chat http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/6697/maid-cafe- as we're starting to take up a lot of room in the comments.

LOL!! Are we including the filler episodes as well? I might just rewatch everything for the sake of this question...

Is your name Jiraya? Or PERVY sage, as Naruto called him. This question is totally pervy.

only oppai lovers would be concerned about this lol

Only Tsunade's measurements were revealed in the series (courtesy of Jiraiya). And I don't think the databooks include details like bust measurements. So the comparisons would be based on the appearance solely. Visual comparison isn't a good way of getting the right answer.
But if you're looking for another character who has noticeably big oppai, there's Samui of Kumogakure:

surprisingly appropriate username...

Did Hashirama have a son?
In Naruto it us shown that Tsunade is Hashirama's granddaughter. Does that mean she is the daughter of Hashirama's son? So who is Hashirama's son ?

Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki did have an offspring. But it wasn't confirmed officially if they were male or female.
Also, the series doesn't give importance to Tsunade's parents, as a result of which, they were never revealed. It mainly focused on the relationship Tsunade and Hashirama had between them and her life later on.
From Hashirama's and Tsunade's Wikia articles respectively:

So yes, Tsunade is Hashirama's granddaughter. But it is not known if it was Tsunade's father or mother who was Hashirama's child. And, nothing is officially declared about them.

Ok so The first hokage is married to Kushina’s mother so Kushina is the daughter of The first hokage which means kushina has a sis who had lady tsunade so naruto is technicality lady tsunades cousin but I doubt it

Do you have any source for Kushina being Mito's daughter?

Why did Igneel not attack Acnologia on Tenrou Island?
For those who have read the Tartaros Arc.

 In the Tartaros Arc we learn that the Dragons were hiding within the Dragon Slayers since the year 777. Hence, why Natsu and Gajeel could not leave the guild during the battle of Fairy Tail. We learn that they were hiding to build antibodies to prevent Dragon Slayers to turn into Dragons once again and were waiting for a moment to defeat Acnologia. Yet they had their chance to defeat Acnologia on Tenrou Island. Why did they not seize their chance then and there? With Makarov, Gildartz, Laxus around, they would have had a much better chance of defeating him. So why did they not attack on Tenrou Island?

@ton.yeung That doesnt explain why igneel wanted to fight him alone during tartaros, but not together during tenrou island. It would make more sense to fight him together seeing how strong he is. Btw igneel ripped off his arm on his own. Imagine makarov holding him down like he did with igneel on top of him.

@ton.yeung how is it different?

Probably because it was in Tenrou Island, the holy place of Fairy Tail. There might be some form of magic that prevented him from acting.

Hmmm... im not sure but at Tenrou Island all Fairy members werent so strong as now, l8ter when dragons attack at Grand Magic no1 could do anything to dragon (except Dragon Slayers a bit slow them down, but did nothing more) so i think Fairy members could not help Igneel that much as you think :)

@Buzka91 You are forgetting that during Tenrou also the other dragons could help. Igneel, Grandeeney and Metalicana could all together attack Acnologia. And seeing at what speed Grandeeney flew over the continent, the other dragons could come and join. But during Tartaros, nobody could help Igneel. He was all alone. He was also much weaker because 7 more years had passed. So he actually had a much better chance to attack Acnologia 7 years ago, so why did he not do it then, and why did he attack now?

@PeterRaeves When dragon came from Eclipse Gate wasnt something said about only Igneel got ANY chances VS. Acnologia? I wasnt reading manga at Tartaros (only few chapters) so i cant think anything else :) maybe in these 7 year gap Dragons still were able to create antibodies for their Dragon Slayers? I think that would make any sense, but i believe it cant be proven... :(

Because the dragons inside dragon slayer's bodies were waiting for The Dragon King festival as that would be the time for them to take action and by then enough antibodies would have generated to prevent Dragon Slayers form turning into dragons
Source : Fairy Tail Manga Chapter 400 Pages 12-18 and
Tartaros arc summary in http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Igneel#Synopsis

Do you have any sources to back this statement up? here at A&M we prefer answers based upon facts. You can take the tour to get a bit more familiar with our ways.

You can read up Natsu and Igneel's conversation when he is fighting Acnologia. Also there is a summary of that here http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Igneel

Please include this information into your answer using the edit function. If your source is the conversation between igneel while fighting acnologia, it wouldn't hurt to include the chapter number/page number as well. As for the link. If you are including it, please also include the relevant information from the page in your answer. :)

Well, in my opinion, because the other dragons of Rogue and Sting (Skiadrum & Weisslogia) weren't really "around" I should say. And they didn't make enough antibodies for them to make sure that they themselves wouldn't turn into dragons themselves. It's not the best answer, but at least it's something right ? :)

Are Levi and Mikasa siblings? I've heard Levi being called as Levi Ackerman, which in Mikasa's backstory, you discover that her last name is Ackerman as well, although no recognition passes between them, and you never see them together as children.

@ton.yeung. I wonder why someone would ask and not want to be spoiled... Besides, you can always make use of spoiler tags.

@Joey It's actually not that difficult to be 10 or even 20 years apart as siblings. My dad and his older sister are 14 years apart. Women are capable of having children from age 18 to 40 (and some on either side as well), so that's really not an impossibility.

No they are not siblings.
Below are some details you may not want to know if you have only seen the anime.

Levi is the son of a prostitute named Kuchel Ackerman who died while Levi was very young.  His serial killer uncle, Kenny Ackerman, took care of young Levi growing up to a limited extent but obviously was not a good man. Mikasa's father was an Ackerman while Levi inherited the name from his mother's side of the family. His biological father is unknown.  They, therefore, are not siblings. It should be noted that some bloodlines in this series have special abilities and the Ackerman's seem to be one of these bloodlines.

It is not clear how closely related they actually are beyond that as most of their family trees are unknown.
The spoiler below is a quote from the wiki.

When Captain Levi Ackerman speaks about Kenny Ackerman, he asks Mikasa if she was possibly related to him. Mikasa retells that when her parents were alive they told her that her father's family, the Ackerman bloodline, was persecuted inside the cities and that her Asian mother's family lost a place to live inside the cities as well, possibly because of her race. Mikasa then states that her parents met as fellow people who had been driven into the mountains and out of the cities and got married. She claims that her father never knew why the Ackermans were discriminated against and that they weren't of a different race like her mother was.

What is the background about the tattoo around Jellal's eye?

Why does Jellal have the red tattoo around his eye? Where did it come from? Is there anything special about the shape of the markings?

Incidentally, it's the same tattoo with Sieghart from Rave Master

@Darjeeling Not incidentally as the mangaka of Rave Master is the same as Fairy Tail, that is Mashima Hiro.

@AyaseEri I'm fully aware of that

Sieg and Jellal are both based on same character named Magic Illusion from Mashima's one-shot 'Magician', with both appearances and mastery of magic. - Rave Master Wikia

Fun fact, this is actually a reference to Hiro Mashima's (the author of Fairy Tail) other series "Rave Master." In that show, there is a character named Seigrain, who has a tattoo over his eye, which is the same as Jellal's. This character also looks very similar to Jellal's.
Sometimes Mashima sneaks in stuff from Rave Master. Such as Plue, who he describes as his own pet who he can use in whatever he likes. So, that's probably why Mashima put it in there.

So it's only there as an Easter Egg? There is no in-story explanation for it?

None so far. Also note Jellal infiltrated the council using the same name, Siegrain.

Add a Rave Master picture of Siegrain!

The ceremony thing isn't possible, its likely that he was born with the markings and my evidence is mystogan/prince jellal of edolas as it's a parallel universe where everyone is opposite.

I think it's before the tower of heaven happened. He was in a village or something and they did a ceremony for the most powerful child (most magical energy) and they gave that child a special mark to note that he is the strongest; maybe they were going to use him to fight wars (until he was taken by the people at the tower of heaven).
I know that it's also a reference to Rave Master which was made by Hiro Mashima, the author of Fairy Tail.

How did the Third know Yamato's name?
I was just rewatching episode 426, and at 10:54, Sarutobi (the Third) called Yamato by his name. That name was assigned by Tsunade after the Third's death. How did he come to know his name?

It seems that the scene wasn't anime exclusive.

In - universe reason : Tsunade did gave him the name Yamato but it was never implied that Anbu codename can't be reused. Maybe she used his old name and third knows it.
Out-of Universe reason : Kishimoto must have forgot it due to complex nature of story, this kind of mistake are not that uncommon in any series and anime just followed manga and kept it that way.

Is Blackbeard ever shown having Whitebeard's jolly roger on his back?
I was wondering if it had ever been shown in the manga or anime of Blackbeard possessing the iconic tattoo of the Whitebeard Pirates on his back. I don't remember if it was required of the crew to get the tattoo but it does seem like a lot of them do possess it.

Whitebeard's pirates got the tattoo of Jolly Roger out of respect or to prove their association to the pirate crew. It is safe to assume that Blackbeard didn't sport the tattoo as it wasn't compulsory for everyone to get the tattoo. So that would mean Blackbeard hasn't been seen with Whitebeard tattoo.

Whitebeard's flag is that of a standard Jolly Roger with a large mustache and a cross behind it. Many high-ranked crew members bear the Whitebeard flag symbol on them, including Ace who is seen having it tattooed on his back and being extraordinarily proud of it.

From what I've seen the fleet commanders have the tattoos and blackbeard didn't want to even be a fleet commander. As taken from the wiki: -having spent a few decades on their ship, even turning down the chance to be a commander amongst the crew, although that was most likely a measure not to make himself infamous before he was ready to reveal his plans.-

please add a reference (e.g. chapter n°) to your last statement

When did Luffy meet his father again in person?
When did Luffy meet his father (Dragon) again in One Piece?

any possibility in future??

that is only an assumption that we can make. There has been no canonical proof of it as yet.

In chapter 100, was the only time they met. Dragon stopped Smoker from capturing his son Luffy. Despite the fact that they never actually talked to each other, this is the only moment we know Dragon and Luffy met, since Luffy began his journey.

i was actually going to ask OP after which meeting

@mirroroftruth Has there been a second meeting?

no i don't remember and OP's question is not clear. though you answered it

How much is known about the Skypiea alternative path?
It was told by Gan Fall most people (still few) came to White Sea through an alternate way to the Knock-Up Stream. How much is known about this method?

As per One Piece Wikia

The only way that has been shown so far is the unorthodox and
dangerous way in which the sailors have to take a Knock Up Stream.
Another way, mentioned by Gan Fall is the High West, as well as a
couple of unnamed islands. However, these routes are apparently very
treacherous, as Gan Fall states that, "If you had brought 100 people,
it would be a gamble as to how many would survive". The section
first appeared in Chapter 237 and Episode 153.

It's highly possible that Bellamy made use of the High West Route given that everyone in his crew except him died, but nothing except what's stated above is known about the other routes to reach the White Sea.

Is Higurashi Kai of horror genre?
I watched the first 3 episodes of Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Kai (yes, the second season) and there is no horror, nor is it tagged as "horror" on the site I'm watching it; opposed to the first season.

http://myanimelist.net/anime/1889/Higurashi_no_Naku_Koro_ni_Kai doesn't tag it as horror but most of the reviews do. I haven't seen it so I couldn't say for sure.

There are several reasons why this may be the case. Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Kai is

basically the answer arcs for the "previous season". They do contain and reference the previous season, as they are answers, they would inadvertently reference certain actions/scenes which could be construed as horror. They are, however, notably lighter as they come from the viewpoint of resolution.

As such, depending on your tastes, they might still be considered horrific, or classified as horror. My reference for classification is actually AniDB where they do classify it as horror. It is interesting to note that IMDB also classifies it as horror.

When will the Naruto: Shippuden English dubbed version resume production?
My question is, when will the English dubbed versions of Naruto: Shippuden episodes 313 through 432 be released, and where will they be available to watch? I love the series, and cannot wait to finish!

That's a lot of episodes...so I would genuinely imagine there's going to be a wait.

Even if they are released eventually, I couldn't imagine watching them. After the show went off the air, I started watching the subtitled episodes online, and am so far ahead in the story now, watching new dubbed episodes would be a huge leap backwards.

Excellent question. I was wondering the same thing for a long time. I searched on Wikipedia for the list of Shippuden episodes and saw that all episodes after Episode 312 are to be released on January 26, 2016 on DVD, which will eventually go online. Still, I love the series, too. I've been a fan of the original since I was a kid and Shippuden is great. I only watch it in English dub, but your guess is as good as mine when they'll come out on a good site. Possibly because the new episodes still need to be voiced.

Maybe you should add the Wikipedia link, just for quick reference

Thank you for your response and the recommendation. I'll stay on top of that website. I've recently been watching all of the naruto movies, they too are great, but it only makes me want to see how the series continues. Thanks again:)

How is the rarity of Devil Fruits determined in One Piece?
This is kinda an interesting topic, we often hear in the manga how certain types of Devil Fruits are rare (Logia, Mythical Zoan etc.)
But when Ace died, we had to wait for his fruit to reappear. This would suggest that his fruit is only one of the kind in the entire world. But at the Marine War arc, when Marco transforms into his pheonix form, it is revealed that his fruit is rarer than Logia.
So far I have yet to see 2 persons in OP that have the same DF, and are alive at the same time. So what does rarity of fruit mean?

I don't think there exists multiple fruits with the same DF ability. Once a DF user dies, their DF ability gets transferred to the nearest fruit. That way, the DF power remains unique and only one fruit exists at a time.

I agree with the other answers that it is obviously related to type and quantity. But I think there is more going on than that. I think the rarity additionally stems from the rarity of the actual fruit it respawns in and the strength and the value the actual Devil fruit gives its user.
There are 11 (canon) Logia fruits, 29 (canon) Zoan fruits and 62 (canon) Paramecia fruits. Going by numbers the Logia fruits are indeed rarer and it is assumed that many more Zoan fruits are out there, compared to Logia fruits. The same logic can indeed be used among the sub-classes of Zoan fruits. There is 1 confirmed Artificial Zoan fruit (with many more to come), 2 Mythical Zoan fruits, 1 Ancient Zoan and 25 other Zoan fruits. Going by numbers the Mythical Zoan and Ancient Zoan fruits are extremely rare. Though, before we can link rarity to numbers, we should wait until Vegapunk explains how they came into existence.
Additionally to type quantity, I do think the type of the actual fruit plays a big role as well. For example, there are many apples in the world. So when Smiley died and the Axolotl model Salamander fruit was reborn in the nearest apple, it showed that that specific fruit will most likely be discovered pretty soon, seeing as apples are so ubiquitous around the world. While if you compare that to the Operation Fruit, which is shaped like a heart, it is safe to assume that when Law dies it will be only able to be reborn in a small part of the world, seeing as there aren't too many fruits shaped like a heart. This would in turn make it difficult to find, making it much rarer than the Axolotl fruit (apple), Giraffe fruit (banana) or String fruit (pear) for example.
Finally, I had found the same question on reddit, at which one of the comments mentioned that the rarity could also be related to the strength of the specific fruit. Stronger Devil fruit powers, inherently make it less likely for the user to die. Considering the fact that many fruits are still unknown in the One Piece universe even today, certain fruits might even be unknown due to their low spawn rate. The less frequently it respawns in different place over the world, the less likely people come in contact, making it seem rarer, then it might be. For example it took Blackbeard many years to find his desired fruit, making it seem a very rare fruit (which it is).
Related to previous paragraph, I believe that the value of a certain fruit adds to its rareness. This does not necessarily mean strength, as we have seen with the Operation fruit. This fruit does not inherently make someone strong. The power is not magic as mentioned by Corazon and requires a lot of knowledge. The World Government priced it at 5 billion Beli, seeing how much power it holds as it is considered the "Ultimate Devil Fruit". Compared to that we have the Revive fruit, which has an extremely low spawn rate, yet nobody seems to care much about this fruit, seeing as it isn't that desired by the majority of people.

On a side note, it is indeed confirmed that only a single instance of any Devil Fruit can be around at the same time. Usopp confirmed this in chapter 447 and Oda double confirmed this in the SBS of Volume 48, Chapter 467.

Reader: Excuse me!! May I pose a serious question to the typically-vulgar SBS?? In Volume 46, Usopp said that the same power doesn't exist twice. But this doesn't make sense with what you said in the Volume 45 SBS... If the Gomu Gomu no Mi was in a book of fruits, then Luffy HAD to have eaten at least the SECOND known example of the fruit! Now, most beautiful and intelligent Ei-chan, explain it all! ✩ P.N. Takafi
Oda: Very sharp of you. But I'm cool. I haven't made any mistakes. As a hint, let me rephrase what Usopp is saying. "The same powers don't exist twice AT THE SAME TIME". How's that? For more detail, you'll just have to wait for a certain professor to make his appearance in the story, and explain exactly what the Devil Fruits REALLY are... Eventually.

Basically each fruit only exists once at any given time, when it's consumed by someone. Then the fruit will only reappear when the consumer has died. With the Ace situation, it took a long time to reappear because the fruit took long to find.
Now let's talk about rarity.
The rarity that you spoke of is based on the characteristics of the fruit. This mainly comes down to: Zoan, Paramecia and Logia.
Most of the Devil Fruits are either Zoan or Paramecia, making Logia a very rare and very strong fruit. Now there's the Zoan class, which have sub-classes. There's the regular beast that you can pretty much see in a zoo which aren't that rare, and can even be made artificially with the use of Smile. There are however 2 subgroups which are very rare because as in normal life you dont see those beasts, these are the Ancient Zoan, for example X Drake's Theropoda dinosaur. The other is the Mythical Zoan, which indeed includes Marco's Phoenix. The reason as to why these are so rare is because they share characteristics with both Paramecia and Logia. Making them extremely powerful.
Why are the Mythical Zoan fruits rarer than Logia?
Well that's rather simple to be honest. The number of elements that you can turn into Logia are much more than the amount of mythological beasts that can be formed.
Sources:

Zoan Class
Devil Fruit
Articificial Devil Fruit

Where do you get the information that only regular beasts can be made artificially? We have only seen a single artificial fruit user and he has a pretty rare animal. A cloud walking dragon isn't too common in most zoos. Also that doesn't explain why a phoenix is more uncommon than a leopard. What makes the phoenix fruit more rare than the leopard fruit? Both just respawn when the user dies anyway.

It's not the Phoenix is more rare then the leopard but the mystic zoan is more rare then a normal zoan because there are a lot more different types of animal then mystic that's what they there is one of any power of a devil fruit but the classes of devil fruit can be more rare example let's say there a total of 20 logai devil fruits and 5 mystic zoan you have a high chance of logai over to mystic zoan because there is only 5 different mystic zoan over the 20 logai

I dont get how no one has mentioned, some are more rare because the user takes way longer to die because of their op fruit. But yeah if there’s only 1 of everything, rare isn’t neccisarily true

What does the print on Franky's shirt mean?

  Cropped from Chapter 804, page 16

The print on Franky's shirt reads something like "I☀HT". I Googled about it and nothing came up. Also, I have checked the One Piece Wikia page and it doesn't have any details about the logo. What does it mean and does it have any significance?

I'm pretty sure that it's supposed to be a sun.  Like those shirts that say "I <3 NY".  So "I (sun) {something}" - "HoT", maybe?

I'm not sure, but I found this IoHT is acronym for Institute of Human Thermodynamics, see here. Or maybe not, I don't know :D

This could potentially be a sneak reference to Jack Sun, The general manager of HT-Tools

@JTR: lol, highly unlikely, unless Oda is a fan of thermodynamics.

Some comments on a chapter review in Japanese suggest that the sun is a reference to the rising sun, so "AM", as in "in the morning"/"Ante Meridian". It then becomes "I AM HT". HT would be the acronym of 変態 (HenTai) or pervert.
So that would mean the T-shirt is actually subtly saying "I am a pervert".

Knowing Franky it wouldn't surprise me if he wore a t-shirt to convey that message. Please note that HenTai can also be interpreted as a 'shapeshifter' which he is, being a cyborg and all..

There is also another theory that became pretty common online in the light of recent events in the manga that should be mentioned for sake of completion.
spoilers ahead: do not read if you haven't seen the full Wano arc

 Some argue that the image is an hint to the real name of the Gum Gum fruit and its nature. If you read the letters in an N pattern you get Hito. N would be the initials of Nika, and the sun a reference to his title as the "Sun God".

Obviously I don't know how realistic this is.
On one side many fans see Oda as someone who loves to foreshadows mayor plots elements VERY ahead of time: Shanks uses haki in the first issue of the manga, Eneru probably used a form of haki too (and his "kami" form was probably an awakened fruit)...
Yet other fans also claim that most of these are postumous-retcons crafted to give bigger significance to older plot elements. And other groups even go as far to claim that Oda is quite toxic and would go as far as rewrite his own plot and trashing entire characters if someone "dared" to make a correct theory on future plot elements (usually Carrot/Yamato and the Zodiac crew members theory is mentioned in such claims).
To put it shortly: I am not sure at all that the claims in the spoiler can be considered true at all. Probably it is an intricate case of pareidolia - an attempt to give some reasoning to something that probably was just a random joke.

The most relevant abbreviation of "HT" I found was "Hull Maintenance Technician", which is a US Navy occupational rating.
Though now that I think about it, the "I AM HenTai" makes more sense for Franky after all.

It’s a symbolization of the Haki that’s going to be coming out in the new chapters. I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be a new type most likely starting with the letter T.

Did Naruto's children inherit Kurama's chakra?
I'm just wondering: how did Boruto and Himawari obtain the Kurama's chakra?
Did they inherit Kurama's chakra? Or did they obtain it in a way like the Gold and Silver Brothers did, by eating a piece of Kurama's chakra?

It's hard to know, really. So far Kishimoto hasn't really shown anything aside from them inheriting Naruto's whisker marks, which he had most likely got from Kurama being sealed in Kushina when she was pregnant (if you look closely at Kurama, he has the same exact whisker marks on his cheeks though wilder looking). So they might have inherited some influence from him through genetics, but not a lot since Hinata was the one carrying them.
Mostly I think they more inherited the Uzumaki genes (and clearly Hyuga) and maybe a diluted bit of Kurama's chakra since the Double Tetragram Seal was supposed to steadily siphon it into Naruto's system, but I don't know if that's still the case after the war and Rikudou Sennin's interference.
So the effect might have just been larger reserves, which would be hard to tell when Uzumaki have inherently huge reserves.
(Though on another note, it would be cool if that meant Himawari could use the chakra chains like Kushina and Karin, since it seems to be a female trait).

the chains I wouldnt put as a female trait. orochimaru during the war mentioned something that made it sound like the chais are an uzumaki general trait when they try to protect loved ones (and naruto had his tails so he didnt need chains)

That's a good point. So then I guess the chains would be a bit more like the Sharingan in the series. We only see Uchiha men and Kakashi with it, but don't rule out the possibility that Mikoto and other Kunoichi may have developed it in their careers that we just never got to see. Particularly since it's awakened by high emotional moments such as a life or death senario. So then I guess it's possible Boruto could develop the chains too.

Possible we sadly have too few infos on that though. but the chains would make sense that naruto doesnt use them as he has his tails while the other uzumaki didnt

The whiskers from chakra influence is accurate. It was stated in one of the episodes of kakashi saga "when a female jinchuriki is pregnant chakra flows to the fetus. So thats how naruto got them. As for his kids. It is possible maybe hinata was pregnant and got in a fight with naruto sparing her chakra like in the war vs 10 tails. Or the possibility of neing around his chakra so much. However it is unlikely they got chakra from kuruma. Unless it was in sperm. Though we never got intel on children of male jinchuriki.

However in all actuality figurimg out how or if they got the chakra or if its just genetic appearence you cannot proove much of anythimg but speculate. As someone said we are not the makers of naruto so we dont know if it iant stated in tje anime or movies. All we do know is the whiskers "appear to be."" a effect of kurrama's chakra shown by the twins and naruto.  The possibility of his kids inheritimg some of the fox chakra are unconfirmed. But i assume because it frlows in a female reproductiom area it is likely it could in males to.

Most probably yes!! We can clearly see whom ever directly touched by Kurama chakra is getting a whiskers like mark on their faces.

Gold and silver brothers have it due to eating Kurama's chakra directly from its belly.
Naruto has it.
Boruto and Himawari have it.

And even though they have the marks, I do not think they have an large portion of it. Probably even less then the Gold and Silver brothers
Theory of the whiskers (this is only my speculation how the whisker mark came to be)
So we can clearly see whisker marks on most of the people who have been in contact with Kurama's chakra.
The Gold and silver brothers have them due to eating large amounts of the Bijuu's chakra directly from its belly. And Naruto? By being the Jinchuriki? although Kushina did not have them when she was a Jinchuriki.
So my guess is ,it is getting by the natural insertion of Bijuu or in this case Kurama chakra in to your body.even though a jinchuriki has a Bijuu inside their body its not a natural fusion of chakra, its done by a artificial sealing method.So that's why Kushina or any other Bijuu holder do not have a distinct features on their bodies.
Then the Question is how did Naruto get the whisker mark?. even though Naruto is a Jinchuriki and Kurama sealed within him, he got whisker mark way before becoming a jinchuriki .He got the whisker mark from the born or,when inside His mother's womb.Even though jinchuriki has a seal we all know smaller amount of chakra can leaked out form a jinchuriki . So when Naruto is still a fetus(or even Kushina 's eggs and all) He had the influence of the Kurama chakra and this caused the natural fusion of Kurama chakra, this is the reason Naruto got his whisker mark.
This theory also can apply for Boruto and Himawari Due to passing Kurama chakra via Kurama chakra infused sperm.
P.S.>->
  we do not get to see many jinchuriki offspring's.We only get to see Naruto,Boruto and Himawari ,as people who are born from a jinchuriki  parent and they are all jinchuriki of Kurama.I think if other jinchuriki had children they will too have distinctive features from the get go.

But how did Boruto and Himawari obtain the chakra. Naruto also got born without the 9 tails chakra. And IIRC had the whiskers even before he became one (which btw is totally unrelated to the question the OP asked)

@Dimitrimx read my theory, it explains how Boruto and Himawari obtain the whiskers  and how Naruto got it.

The question is not about the whiskers. But how they obtained the chakra. If you managed to corralate those 2 within 1 question then first of all provide some proof, not just speculation. And try some proper sentence building, as I can't detect any piece stating where Boruto and Himawari got the chakra.

@Dimitrimx well sorry about my English. but i can not give out definite proof of my theory, because i am not the creator of Naruto and in my theory i made my speculation based on facts .so its not that far off.And whiskers are related to Kurama chakra ,that's what i'm trying to tell

Why was Afro's imaginary friend, 'Ninja Ninja', a ninja?
Any explanation as to why the imaginary friend of Afro was a ninja even though Afro was a samurai? Or was it just for characterization purpose?

I think it is because he represents the opposite of afro's like the samurai and ninja's in the history, opposites and enemies.Source

Origins of the Ninja:
[...]
Japanese folklore states that the ninja descended from a demon that was half man and half crow. However, it seems more likely that the ninja slowly evolved as an opposing force to their upper-class contemporaries, the samurai, in early feudal Japan.
[...]
Ninjutsu versus Bushido:
Ninjutsu developed as an opposing force to the samurai code of bushido. Samurai valued loyalty and honor above all else. Going into battle, a samurai would select a single opponent, announce his challenge, list his family pedigree, and then attack. Samurai wore bright colors on their armor to announce their clan identity. Ideally, at least, bushido was noble and highly stylized, but it couldn't always get the job done.
That is where ninjutsu came in: the ninja code valued accomplishing a mission by whatever means necessary. Sneak attacks, poison, seduction and spying were all shameful to the samurai, but fair play by the rules of the ninja."

While the answer may seem appropriate, it could do with some more exposition and explanation to clarify what you mean.

Yeah! like where is it said Ninjas are Samurai enemies? :/

How did the first vampire come into existence?
The question is simple. What is the origin of these vampires? Where did they come from? How did the first PURE vampire come into existence?

The oldest known vampire is alucard. He came to be a vampire by drinking the blood of the fallen from a battlefieled thus dropping his belief in god and turning into an unholy creature.

Any canonical mentions or links would be appreciated!

This is from memory somewhere in the manga towards the end of it chapter 70-80 i think.

Why does Madara give Nagato his Rinnegan?
Why does Madara give his Rinnegan to Nagato? Madara had already activated the Rinnegan since he is an Uchiha and also has the DNA of the first Hokage. But why does he give it to Nagato?

Madara didn't actually give it to Nagato. When Nagato was young, Madara transplanted the Rinnegan onto Nagato, without his knowledge.
Madara had achieved the Rinnegan near to end of his physical life. So he decided that would have to die someday as his body was nearing the end. As a plan to be revived later on, he transplanted his eyes onto an Uzumaki individual. This was Nagato. Uzumaki clan was known for their huge chakra reserves, so the user of the Rinnegan could tap into its original power because of their chakra levels.

So he transplanted his Rinnegan into a young Nagato without the boy's knowing, intending Nagato to someday use the eyes to restore Madara to life. If Nagato was to do this, however, Madara would need an agent to act on his behalf and guide Nagato towards this ultimate goal. Madara waited, connecting himself to Demonic Statue to keep him alive until someone could be found.

He then found Obito in the ruins and decided that he will be the one to lead Nagato to use the Samsara of Heavenly Life to bring him back to life.

Is Mavis of Fairy Tail really a ghost?
She has not shown that she is not a ghost. For example, in one episode she said she had to go to the bathroom and in another episode, she tried to sit down and she fell taking physical damage from the fall.

Just curious no need to get your hair in a tangle

A proper answer to this would include spoilers from the manga. I suggest reading it, or waiting until the anime gets there.

Major spoilers ahead, be warned. Like suggested by Omry, maybe reading the manga or watching the anime if it closes up, maybe also Fairy Tail Zero, would be better than reading my answer. But anyway here it comes:

 Mavis is, like Zeref, burdened with the Ankhseram Black Magic curse. This happend because she casted the magic "Law" in an incomplete state. The curse's direct effect - immortality - is the reason she didn't mature anymore, afterwards.
 After the death of a guild member (Rita, Makarov's mother), which was most likely caused by the second effect of the curse (the more she cares about life, the more people would die), she fled and wandered around, trying to kill herself by starving.
 After one year Zeref found her, of course still alive because of the curse. They came to love each other (another story), but their kiss caused Zerefs curse to kill Mavis, though she should be immortal.
 But the curse still affected her, so she didn't die completly. Zeref brought her "corpse" to Precht, who sealed it inside the giant Lacryma after noticing there was still magic energy inside the body. And that's the reason she can still interact with the world in her ethereal body.

Edit:
If the question was, whether her "body" is really a ghost, the answer should be yes. Ethereal bodies like her do not exist physically, so it's basically a ghost like we'd normally think of it. She created the body on Tenryou island after the S-Class exam using magic, so she has kinda shown that it's not real.
I don't think she really took phyiscal damage when falling, it's just that she was interacting with the physical world because she liked to. That's pure speculation, though.

I don't think the OP is asking for the history behind Mavis' ethereal body. The OP seems to be asking what kind of body Mavis uses to interact (ghost type or some other) ..

ok, maybe I misinterpreted...

It's okay. You can edit your post to answer the OP's original question and also keep the history part intact.

The scenes where Mavis had to go to the bathroom and fell taking physical damage from the fall were, IIRC, not-so-serious scenes. My interpretation of those scenes is that they were for the laughs.

@TheFlow0360 Where did you read the But the curse still affected her, so she didn't die completly. Zeref brought her "corpse" to Precht, who sealed it...? Is it in Fairy Tail Zero or the in the main series?

@Keale I'd say it was the main series... I'll try to find the chapter if I can spare some time

sorry it took me so long, @Keale - it's Chapter 451 of the main series. The reason she still lives wasn't told, but Precht notices she still lives and in combination with the reason of her state ("overcoming" the immortality of her body as described in the previous chapter), it's pretty obvious that it's related to the curse

The Sage of the Six Paths had Rinnegan in both in his eyes. He also awakened a third eye on his forehead.

Is that a Sharingan of some kind?
What powers does that third eye grant it's wielder?

Naruto has a pretty big wikia, have you tried looking there?

It has never been mentioned in the manga I believe. Anything else is considered as conjecture. Is everything in the wiki can be considered as canon?

It doesn't seem like an eye. The third eye that Kaguya has is more pronounced with distinct features. This is more like a symbol. More like the clan symbols on forehead protectors. Wikia also doesn't classify it as an eye

It could be another evolution of the sharing an since he awakend it with his mangekyo

From the Wiki

 After awakening his Rinnegan, he also manifested a red circle marking with two ripples patterns in the centre of his forehead, seemingly a byproduct of his ultimate dōjutsu manifested alongside his senjutsu training.

It references episode 426 of Naruto Shippuden and suggests it wasn't a true eye but rather a marking. There's no way to be sure if it gave him any special powers, but all

 abilities he exhibited were in line with what we know was possible via his Rinnegan / Mangekyo / Senjutsu abilities so it doesn't seem to have given him anything.

Additionally it's flat and lacks the depth that Kaguya's third eye had, also suggesting it was simply a marking. The best theory I can come up with is that it was an incomplete manifestation of Kaguya's third eye.

This the really good. I have always wondered about it. You are right, it lacks the depth to be an eye.

However, is it true that rinnegan also had the power to transport between dimensions? If not then I had this theory that , the marking on his forehead was responsible for that.

My other theory was, since ninjas who are trained in sage mode often have markings in them (hashirama markings under his eyes ) may be because of that, the sage got the marking in his eyes permanently due to his sage powers. Again, this is a speculation.

While the Senjutsu theory is plausible, the Rinnegan doesn't possess the ability to teleport between dimensions, at least not innately, as according to the wiki it's an ability of  Kaguya's Rinne-sharigan http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Amenominaka , further supported by the fact that Hagoromo had the Kage assist him in using a summoning technique to bring team 7 back after sealing Kaguya http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hagoromo ((in the Part II part of his Bio)) instead of simply bringing them himself

It could signal the use of his sage of six paths sage mode. Every user of sage mode has always had some sort of marking when using their own form of sage mode. This could signal his. 6 paths sage power, like naruto's commas and eyes and hashiramas markings.

It is the Mangekyo Sharingan. When Hagoromo "kills" Hamura and gains his Rinnegan, he also gains the "third eye." It doesn't really look like an eye, but more of a marking representing the Mangekyo Sharingan. When Sasuke gains his Rinnegan, his Rinnegan manifest in his left Mangekyo Sharingan eye. In Sasuke's Rinnegan, there is tomoe which shows when he is at full power and that there used to be a sharingan in that eye. It also shows that he still has the power of his left Mangekyo Sharingan. Though an issue with this hypothesis is that Madara did not have tomoe in his Rinnegan and did not get the Rinne Sharingan till late in the series. And I'm pretty sure he still had the power of his Sharingan, even when both his eyes were Rinnegan.
In all, the red mark probably represents the Mangekyo Sharingan in order to show that Hagaromo has both the power of the Sharingan and the Rinnegan.

Actually, that marking is the Mangekyo Sharingan. When Hagoromo and Hamura (both sons of Kaguya Otsutsuki) fight Kaguya, Hagoromo has to kill his brother for he was under the control of Kaguya. But thanks to Gamamaru (presently the great toad sage), Hamura was saved by sage power.
Immediately after this incident, Hagoromo awakens his Rinnegan and also his Mangekyo Sharingan. He also thanks his mother (Kaguya) for she was only responsible for the awakening of his Rinnegan and Mangekyo Sharingan.

You're going to want to add sources to this.

Couple of things it does. Number 1 it has the Chakra that worth ten tails which is Canon and if that's not enough proof madra absorbs ten tails then he gets rinnesharrigan. The other thing it does it does is that it does the infinite tsukuyomi. The last thing it does it typically opens portal for transportation and sometimes in rare instances like kaguya has unique abilities like bringing people to dimension instantly or going through half the dimension like an open door.

Can Pokémon say only what their species is named as, or are they named with the only word they can say?
This question has been quite bothersome. As mentioned in the title, how exactly does it work? Do Pokemon get their species names from the only thing they're able to say? Or do they say (and repeat) whatever species name they're given?
(I think it's the former reason. But I haven't found any factual description that proves it. So I'm looking for answers supported by facts considered cannon.)

by name your referring to species name right? like Pikachu and Squirtle? and not the names their trainers give them like Richy's Pikachu Sparky

@Memor-X: yes, species name. I'll add that in. Thanks :)

I think they say their specie name like "Pickachu" so they're named as such. Some that don't say anything, are named by the discoverer. My two cents.

I don't watch show at all but a possible explanation.  The pokemon are trying to speak in human and that is the important noun they hear the trainers saying in their presence. Pets often can learn their name if no other words. I can't develop this further as I've not seen anything since the first movie.

Chicken or the egg?

I found a good episode recently that shows the anime contradicts itself on this matter. In the Black and White episode Archeops in the Modern World, Professor Juniper and Dr. Fennel revive an Archen from a fossil. Professor Juniper specifically mentions one benefit of a live specimen is that they wouldn't know what Archen's cry was just from the fossil. But Archen is mentioned as being a Pokémon from millions of years ago. This is contradictory because Archen's cry is its name but they somehow knew what its name was before reviving it. Additionally, there is no way that humans could have taught it to say its name because humans weren't around millions of years ago. Because of this contradiction, it cannot be said one way or another whether Archen says the name of its species or whether it is named by the word it says. Therefore, I conclude that there is no canonical answer to this question in the anime.
It really doesn't make much sense at all for Pokémon to say their names like they do in the main anime. That's why they don't do this in Pokémon Origins, Pokémon Generations, or in the games. In all three of these, each Pokémon's cries/growls are more similar to real animal noises. In the main games, the cries in the Pokédex are animal shrieks and noises (well, sort of... as noted in the comments, they do sound electronic and staticky). Sometimes if you talk to Pokémon on the overworld in a game they'll say part of their name, but an audio clip of that Pokémon's cry will also play, so I interpret the Pokémon's dialogue to be an onomatopoeia.

Tbh, the cries on the GameBoy games (RBY) sound a lot more like random electronic … stuff that just happens to be easily programmable.

@Jan That's true. I'll try to make an edit to include that information. I can't think coherently on how to phrase it right now, though.

don't think they ever really mentioned this issue (watched everything till x and y) but something to consider could be the meaning of the names
http://pokemondb.net/etymology
a possible theory could be that the names that describe the pokemon itself came first. Especially since there are some pokemon that don't even say their names.

Probably the other way around, no way that someone would go in the field and train random Pokemon to say something

by made to recite their names i meant they were designed that way. as in the species itself

As by a creator or something?
In any case, there has never been given info on this topic, so there will most likely be only speculation

yea by creator. And true about lack of information but some speculations are just flawed since some pokemon don't even yell out what they're named. Easy examples would be zubat, onyx and such. So most likely they were just named according to how they look

What is Itachi's illness?
What was Itachi's mysterious illness?
Do you think Tsunade could have cured it? I'm aware that it is a terminal illness.
And when did Itachi get this illness?

Microscopic polyangiitis, most likely.

Well I believe it was the same issue Sasuke had with the sharringan causing sight loss. But due to his nature he probably learned some other technique which causes health loss to the user.

@hikari Sight loss is not terminal nor an illness like Tobi pointed out when he told Sasuke the truth. Itachi was on Medicine just to extend his life long enough to fight and die by sasukes hand.

@Ryan your right about it not being terminal. But I also never said that it was. The point I was driving at is that the jutsu that Itachi uses puts an unnatural strain on the body so it starts breaking down. However the assumption I had prior is wrong due to his illness being actually unrelated.

The disease is never named.
This is actually quite common in manga/anime. It's often said that a character has some disease without the name of the disease ever being stated.
In some cases, the disease may be implied, such as in the case of said character suddenly being bald, in which case cancer is being implied. This can give a story some realism
In other cases, no symptoms are given or the symptoms are very generic, so that it's impossible to determine what disease the character has. This is done because it means less work on the author's part if they're not familiar with a disease that has the symptoms they want and means less time has to be spent developing things that don't have any relevance to the story.
In this case, very little information is given about Itachi's illness other than that it's terminal. It's likely that the author did this simply because what Itachi had didn't really matter to the story in any way. The only important thing is that it forced Itachi to speed up his plan, knowing he would die.
There is one other thing we know about his disease. According to Narutopedia, this disease had an effect on Itach's chakra. Because of this, it is reasonable to assume that this disease either isn't real or it's based on a real disease with this fictional characteristic attached.

Tobirama said in one episode that the Uchiha develop their Mangekyo Sharingan from knowing despair and great pain, and that their despair is reflected in how strong their eyes are.
Basically his illness is a rebound of his powers on his body; his body isnt able to handle the power without a new power to help control his eyes.
You can refer this link to learn more about Itachi
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Itachi_Uchiha

"Itachi at some point contracted a terminal illness. He kept himself alive through the years with medicine and sheer willpower so that he could live long enough to die by Sasuke's hand."    No idea where you got the thought that the Mangekyou caused this, but somehow did not for everyone else who had one.

To be honest, i think that itachi may have never fully recovered from 8 trigrams attack he received from Kohinata Mukai as an anbu (itachi shinden,book 2,page 30) in that novel, itachi got hit with at least eight od the 64 palms technique. We dont know if hus internal organs or chakra flow ever fully recovered after that,and the tremendous strain from using mangekyo and other techniques was probably a bit too much with a deficient chakra flow. Every time he used chakra probably affected his vital organs somehow.  This seems unlikely,simce i cant see him being unable to be treated, since hinata was able to recover after neji tried to kill her,but its the best theory i have.

How was Sasuke able to summon 2 different types of creatures?
Summoning is a technique which is used to summon creatures. Most of the time, many of them were able to summon only 1 type of creature only (like, for Naruto, it's frogs).
But Sasuke is able to summon snakes and hawks. So my question is, how he is able to summon 2 different types of creatures?

didn't you know Kishimoto is Uchiha fanboy?

could be that hawks would be natural to Sasuke and the snakes come from the curse mark or something Orichimaru "added" in preparation to make Sasuke his new body

I think you can have any amount of summons as long as you have blood contracts with them

Even Konohamaru can summon both Toads and Monkey.

Although it's never mentioned the possibility of having two contracts, it's also never mentioned that it is impossible to do so. I wouldn't call it a plot hole, because it wasn't contradictory with pre-established rules.

Well officially, only Pain and Sasuke are able to summon more than one creature. Pain's ability seems more realistic since each summoned animal had the black rods (he may have gotten control of their dead bodies and utilized them during battles with his vast chakra).
Sasuke is a different issue. There's no evidence that he ever signed off a contract with the hawks. Seems like Kishimoto pulled it off just to blend with the 'Taka' group name.

I don't think it's said anywhere Pain can only summon those animals because of the rods. I believe those rods are simply there to reflect Nagato's Rinnegan on all the pierced people. Most likely can summon multiple species due to the Animal Path.

I believe that Sasuke's contract with the Snakes ended after his fight with Deidra and he signed with the Hawks.
I don't know how he get the scroll but that's what it looks like.
In Boruto Series, we might get to see his summoning jutsu again because currently he is Boruto's teacher now.
We will get to watch him teach Boruto how to do the summoning jutsu and other more things. So all we can do is wait.

Can you add some sources or additional details?

It did not end, in the war you summoned a snake

Snakes could be the summoning that Orochimaru taught him but hawks could be his own summoning. His snake summons also didn't die after his fight with Deidara because he was shown using Aoda during the Fourth Shinobi War.

It is possible that his snake summons died after his fight with Deidara making it possible for him to make another contract.

This does not provide an answer to the question. To critique or request clarification from an author, leave a comment below their post. - From Review

How does this not answer the question? saying that his snake summons died making it possible for him to make a second contract seems to decidedly answer the question.

Do you have any sources to suggest that he made a second pact with the hawks at all?

What is the source for the Androids unlimited energy supply?
Do the Androids have ki or another source of energy? If so does, Android 16 have ki since he is fully mechanical and only living beings have ki?

Androids have Ki, they use Ki to perform Ki Blast, but it can't be detected. We did not see Android 16 used Ki Blast before, he might not have Ki.

Then what about android 19? He too is fully mechanical but can absorb ki. Doesn't that stand to reason that he can use ki?

Android 16 is an incomplete android.

The androids were once formally human. I'll be back once I do more research.

Though I have to look it back up, a major thing is that their source of power was physical generators in their bodies. I recall there were even claims that they had unlimited power thanks to these generators. This is likely the source of their actual power.
As for why they are undetectable, there is a simple but fairly theoretical explanation for that. Scouters and the Z warriors general ability to sense power is not full proof, and in fact they work about the same. The Z warriors specifically learned how to suppress their power, which throws the sensing methods off, even to a point where scouters could not detect Gohan and Krillin on Namek. In a way, you could say they are leaking power, and that leaking of power is what is detectable. By actively containing it, it can't be detected. Androids have a purely mechanical method of generating power. It is completely feasible that because it is mechanical, instead of biological, it does not leak power, hence there is no surplus of power around them to detect.
In that way, all the androids do have some kind of Ki (as it can be used in the same way as Ki), and is undetectable for the same reason that Scouters were ineffective against the Z warriors on Namek.

I'd like to believe she has Ki, because she is part human.  At the world tournament Goku asks how her and Krillin had a child together and he explains that she was human to begin with and turned into an android by Dr. Gero.
(Season 7 episode 208 or 209)(I can't remember exactly)
"The correct term is Cyborg. Human with cybernetic parts, she was human by birth and turned into a cyborg, thus retaining certain human functionality, such as being able to get pregnant."
But that still raises the question why Goku and the others couldn't detect their energy. I guess some things should just be left unasked?

You should identify a person before using a pronoun (Android 18, in this case). And what is that a quote of?

16 does not have ki, hence he uses laser eyes and arm cannons. 17 and 18 do, that is why they are able to use ki blasts. Just look at how 18 learned destructo disc. It's really simple, they use the suppression technique so the Z Warriors wouldn't sense them.

Just watched the first few episodes of Dragon Ball Z Kai with the androids yesterday: they say that the living people like Goku and Vegeta can't detect any ki from the androids (also see http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Android_19), and that includes both 19 and 20 who absorb ki from people (although anime says "energy" never "ki"). Also, 20 has Dr. Gero's brain, so some part of him is alive I guess, but also isn't detected as ki when people are searching for him in the rocky hills after 19 is defeated. So, must not be ki.

Android 18 was able to learn destructo disk, probably from her husband. If she doesn't have ki then how did she learn it? Also android 18 is not a full android but a cyborg so she has living parts. Doesn't that mean she has ki? About dr zero, he may have never learned to use ki and only gained power after he transformed.

@Analyst1996 it would be more precice to say that They naturally supress it like the Z warriors can do, simply due to how it works. Androids probably have a perfect form of "not leaking out any energy/ki" because of Gero's Genius. Nothing says they are not using Ki, or do not have it, just that its undetectable, Exactly like what Krillin and Gohan do on Namek to hide from Freeza and his men's scouters.

Sounds like it was done just to progress the story and to keep it interesting.
There are a couple things that don't make much sense. Whatever form of ki production they have should be able to be detected. Even though it's made mechanically, it's still energy. Also, the way the Z fighters fight so well is because they learned to sense their opponents' ki/energy. If you recall when Popo trained young Goku, he says there's ki in all living things.
Don't forget about the spirit bomb, and that all living things provide energy to it. Also, remember when 17 adds to Goku's Genki Dama when fighting with

 Kid Buu?

Lastly, even if they couldn't detect energy from the androids themselves, when the androids 19 and 20 absorb the others' energy, shouldn't they be able to detect their own stored ki?
I jumped around a bit there, but it should still get the points across.

What is the relationship between the Byakugan, Rinnegan, and Sharingan?
Can anyone brief a little about the link between the Byakugan, Rinnegan, and Sharingan? I know the meanings, but I don't know the relationship between the eyes.

They all came from Kaguya Otsutsuki...

The progenitor of chakra, Kaguya Otsutsuki, was the first character (historically) to have Byakugan on Earth.
After eating the Chakra Fruit, she awakens a third eye on her forehead, the Rinne Sharingan.

Now the Rinne Sharingan is completely independent of the Byakugan's influence. This is because the Rinne Sharingan is the result of the manifestation of the powers of the Chakra Fruit on a person.

The Rinne Sharingan possesses the ocular power of the Sharingan, and can be used to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, an extremely powerful genjutsu which can only be countered by the Rinnegan and the chakra of the nine tailed beasts.

When her two sons, Hagoromo and Hamura were born, they had their mother's Byakugan. As time progressed, Hagoromo awakens a new dojutsu, the Sharingan. In the anime, Hagoromo awakened the Sharingan after finding the corpse of his love interest Haori.

The Sharingan is a derived form of the Rinne Sharingan, meaning, weaker. But powerful nevertheless. He goes on to attain the Mangekyou Sharingan also, but that is not shown on screen.
Hagoromo then achieves the Rinnegan, after nearly killing his brother (and thereby freeing him from his mother's control).

The Rinnegan is a much more advanced form of the Sharingan and it has a wide range of powers. The Rinnegan is stated to be something that is unique to the Sage of Six Paths, which is why, to obtain the Rinnegan, shinobi mix the chakra of Ashura and Indra (thereby getting Hagoromo's chakra).
While the Byakugan doesn't have any direct link to the Rinnegan and Sharingan, it does play a significant role in their creation, along with the Rinne Sharingan.

Where was it stated that Hagoromo used to have Byakugan?

@AyaseEri: From the wikia : In the anime, Hagoromo awakened the Sharingan after finding the corpse of his love interest Haori. From Episode 461: 1, 2

That part was not in the manga. It was a filler, though I'm not sure whether it was approved by Masashi Kishimoto as canon or not. I think you should state that it was anime only.

@AyaseEri: The episode 461 is from the arc Kaguya Ōtsutsuki Strikes. Which is not a filler arc. It's Zetsu narrating the history. But I'll include the detail that it was anime only.

Was the story Zetsu narrated in a side story or literally anything wrote/told by Kishimoto. If its not (which just about every Anime only thing was at least mostly) its filler. I do recall canon side stories about some characters, but the only thing I found out about Kaguya related to this was this from sayianIsland: " Studio Pierrot, the company that animates Naruto, has mentioned the arc will be “original”." which basically means filler.

Like Akira said in the comment, they all come from Kaguya. That is, Kaguya owned both Byakugan and Rinnegan. Her son Hagoromo, widely known as Rikudo-sennin, inherited Rinnegan. His twin brother, Hamura inherited Byakugan. Hagoromo's son Indra owns Sharingan, while his other son Asura owned his great life force. Only when both are present then one can have Rinnegan.

The Byakugan is a pure dojutsu by itself, while the Rinnegan and Sharigan are the separated dojutsu of the Rinne-Sharingan, the third eye manifested by Kaguya. The Byakugan seems to have existed before the Rinnegan and Sharingan as it seems to have been present in Kaguya's eyes before her arrival on earth. The Rinne-Sharingan came into existence when Kaguya ate the chakra fruit of the divine tree. The three dojutsu were separated when Kaguya gave birth to Hagaromo and Hamura Otsutsuki. Hamura inherited the Byakugan and Hagaromo inherited the separated Rinne-Sharingan, in their constituent forms, as the basic Sharingan and the Rinnegan. The Sharingan of Hagaromo entered its Mangekyou state after killing Hamura then resurrecting him using condensed sage power (nature energy). The Rinnegan seemed to be associated with the general Rinne-Sharingan pattern and six of the nine Tomoe, and the Sharingan represents the colour and three of the nine Tomoe.

Correction: The Mangekyou version of Hagaromo's Sharingan has not been shown on-screen. And major correction, the Rinnegan was awakened when Hagaromo almost killed Hamura. Please try to read the existing answers before you submit yours. It'll be effective as you can include what's missing, along with sources

The Byagugan, Sharingan, and Rinnegan are all dojutsu, and are all passed down from Hagoromo Otsukiki, also known as "Sage of Six Paths". While they are all considered bloodline traits (Kekki Genkai), they also have diffferent abilities and characteristics. The Rinnegan's physical appearance is usually a white eye with a bunch of circles coiling around in it. The Sharingan is red, with 3 black tomoe mark and the Byagugan is an eye thats pure white and gray.

They all come from Kaguya Otsutsuki. Kaguya's sons Hagoromo and Hamura were both born with the Otsutsuki family trait of the Byakugan. However, after the death of his loved one, Hagoromo awakened the sharingan, and after almost killing Hamura, awakened the Rinnegan. The sharingan and Rinnegan both come from Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan, the third eye on her forehead that she got after eating the chakra fruit, giving her the power to perform the Infinite Tsukiyomi. I'm going to assume you know how the Uchiha got the Sharingan and how the Rinnegan can be achieved. Hamura had the Byakugan, as stated above, and passed that down to his Otsutsuki descendants that lived on the moon, as well as his descendants that lived on earth, the Hyuga. There is also a Byakugan equivalent of the Rinnegan, the Tenseigan, that was first awakened by Hamura, and can be awakened by mixing the blood of the Hyuga and Otsutsuki of the Moon clans. Its powers are similar to that of the Rinnegan.

It could be that the Rinnegan is a "diluted" version of the Rinne Sharingan. Like how the Sharingan can be considered a "diluted" Rinnegan as you need to mix Indra and Ashura chakra (Sharingan + Life Force/Sage's Body) to get Rinnegan.
Something like genetic degradation/dilution due to reproducing with locale humans.

Byakugan originally came from the Otsutsuki clan. Kaguya has Byakugan, since she is from that clan. In order to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Kaguya activated her Rinne Sharingan.
Indra, a grandson of Kaguya, was born with the Sharingan. From him, the Uchiha clan existed, and they all could awaken Sharingan.
Hagoromo, a son of Kaguya, had the Rinnegan. Sasuke was able to get part of the Rinnegan because Hagoromo gave it to him.
By the way, I'm not taking into account the Naruto Shippuden fillers.

Wrong. Just like Hamura was born with Byakugan, Hagoromo was born with Rinnegan. Also Kaguya didn't develop Rinne Sharingan when she cast Infinite Tsukuyomi. If anything, it is Infinite Tsukuyomi that requires Rinne Sharingan means that she already have it before casting the jutsu.

alright, no worries, i'll change it

How does Madara have Rinnegan in both eyes?
After the battle with Hashirama, Madara loses one of his eyes because of the Izanagi. He awakens only one Rinnegan eye before he dies. But when he got resurrected using Edo Tensei, he has a pair of Rinnegan eyes. Similarly, once he gets his true body back, he has Rinnegan in both eyes. How is this possible?

I have answered this question before here is the link: http://anime.stackexchange.com/a/37594/20270

In the first case, Madara had a blind eye due to the Izanagi he used. But the eyesight was restored when the Rinnegan formed in both the eyes. This is because it is a characteristic quality of the Rinnegan. The wikia articles on Rinnegan and Uchiha Madara supports it:

However, Madara's Sharingan did not become Rinnegan until decades later, at the end of his natural lifespan; this also seemingly restored the eyesight lost from his use of Izanagi.

Madara Uchiha:

It was not until decades later, towards the end of Madara's natural life, that the cells had any effect, awakening the Rinnegan (in the process restoring his right eye).

So therefore, formation of Rinnegan completely heals the eyes.
When the Edo Tensei was used, he was revived at the prime stage of his life, along with enhancements. That explains him having having both the eyes.
Lastly, when he breaks out of the Edo Tensei, his Edo Tensei Rinnegan eyes are still intact. But after being brought back to life by the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, his fake Rinnegan eyes turn into dust. He fights without eyes for a while. White Zetsu brings him one of his original eyes, and later on, he steals away his original eye from Obito.

Why did the Sound and Sand villages want to destroy the Leaf Village?
I want to know why did the Sound and Sand Villages want to destroy the Leaf Village? Also, later on, how had the Sand and Leaf Villages made up with each other?

i'll have to re-watched the original series sometime but if i recall the sand village thought they were following the orders of their Kazekage...who Orochimaru had already killed and assumed the role of. the sound village is lead by Orichimaru and they were just doing what he wanted and i'm quite sure all Sound Village Ninja were indebted to Orochimaru in some way so that's why they were loyal to him. as for the leaf and sand villages making up quite sure it was because Garaa was made the next Kazekage and saw Naruto as his friend

As far as I can remember, @Memor-X is right. Naruto somehow inspired Gaara, which then made him, Gaara, look as him as a friend. I'll also have to got back and rewatch the series. :p

IIRC it is as Memor-X says. Oro riled Sand Shinobi by making use of the fact that it is hard for Sand Village to grow crops. They attack Konoha so that they can have more land to grow food.

It's been a while since I watched Naruto. But I believe it was because of the following reasons. If you haven't already gone through the whole arc, then these might be spoilers for you up ahead.

 Orochimaru obviously had a personal grudge against the Hidden Leaf village and the Third Hokage who was also his former mentor. And it was him who put an end to his secret experiments back when he was still a leaf shinobi. He continues his quest for immortality and wanted to destroy the village for his personal reasons. He managed to compel the Fourth Kazekage for assistance in destroying the hidden leaf. The Sand village was suffering badly economically and the Fourth Kazekage saw it as an opportunity to improve their economic condition by taking over the Hidden Leaf and also severely weakening the Leaf Shnobi forces, thereby naturally creating more opportunities for the Sand shinobi to get hired for missions. Orochimaru however, betrayed the fourth Kazekage and killed him. He himself then posed as the Kazekage at the Chunin exams to successfully infiltrate the Leaf village.

For the next part of the question:

 The sand village's already financially weak state got worse when they realized that the Kazekage had been murdered and their team including their trump card, Gaara had been defeated. Although they emerged victoriuos after a great loss, the Leaf village still let the Sand village off even after they had tried to destroy them, mostly because it had been Orochimaru who had been pulling the strings. Gaara was brought back to his senses after going on a rampage. The Sand village owed the Leaf. And Gaara himself owed a personal debt to Naruto for stopping him and making him see things clearly. When they heard about the Leaf crisis when Sasuke abandoned the village and there were no Jounin level ninjas available, the Sand village dispatched Gaara's squad to assist to settle their debt and also extend a hand for a Sand-Leaf alliance. I am not entirely sure about this but I think it was Tsunade who managed to get the Sand village to assist in the situation.
