Is Suzaku Kururugi completely oblivious of the Purges of Shinjuku Ghetto and the Saitama Ghetto?
From Episodes 10-13 there is a huge moral guilt bestowed on all the characters. And I find it funny because its from one battle where barely 1% of the casualties experienced from the purges were met.
Suzaku Kururugi wants to fight for Britannia to save his people (or hope they integrate into the system) but is he aware of what Britannia does to the Elevens?
Like honestly he thinks what the BKs do are wrong yet hes morally ok with mass executions of children/elderly. Is this explained?

It's been a while since I saw Code Geass, but I interpreted more as Suzaku being more or less aware of what was going on but believing more in changing things "through the system". I could well be pretty wrong though.

He is not morally ok with executing people. If you noticed he refused to kill civilians in episode 2,especially since one was his friend, and he saved the falling women in the same episode in the middle of a battlefield. The only time he even actually killed civilians was when he fired the FLEIJA in Tokyo.
He is obviously aware of what the Britannians do as he sees some of it first hand. He is even one of the ones that is discriminated against, which is seen in the episode where he stood around washing paint off of his shirt and in ep 5, even though they can't do anything more than that because he is an honorary Britannian. The only problem is at first he cannot change it. That is why he needed to become the knight of one. From that position he would have the authority to prevent the Britannian's treatment of elevens.
He is not ok with the executions but at the same time he is powerless to prevent them unless he were to become the knight of one.

the FLEIJA firing was a result of his Geass command to "Live" and the only way for him to live was to fire it. had he not had that command he would have accepted his death

Would it be better to watch the live action movie or the anime series to experience the original manga?
I was wondering if I  wanted to experience Fullmetal Alchemist where should I start; should I watch the live-action movie in one go or start the anime series on the long road.
I'm not sure if it will be a waste to watch either one of them before the other.
And the movie is easy to get too!

If you're picking between the anime or the live action, the anime is probably your best bet, specifically Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood as it is the closest adaptation of the original manga.

Thank you i guess you're right,  and now got to find a good site to watch it. Thanks again.

You're welcome. BTW, since this is a Q&A site, you might want to rephrase your question to be less opinion-based and more like "Would it be better to watch the live action movie or the anime series to experience the story of the original manga?"

@user38436 reminder that pirating animes or related is unethical and doesn't support the industry.

I believe Netflix also has Brotherhood on top of the live action movie

@Cyberson yea it sounds more like a guessing game!thanks

@Cyberson thanks a lot again!  I hope you have a great day Im fired up to know the story

Why do the Straw Hats never have money?
Right now I'm watching the 139th episode and I'm wondering why they are always in need of money. I don't remember exact cases when they got a jackpot, but I have a feeling that there were some cases; I just can't remember them. Do they really engage in such bad ass affairs but then remain out of money?
Examples that I remember where they showed a lack of funds:

Zoro in Loguetown buying swords
Luffy in Alabasta talking to old man with dance powder

Mostly it's because Luffy always spent their money on food. Almost after every major battle Mugiwara Pirate always have a party and use almost every food they have. This will leave them with no food so they spent their money on food in the next town. For once they won a jackpot. They got 300mil belly. But it was used for their new ship, Thousands Sunny.
The other crew are not so loyal but they also spent a good sum of money. Nami on clothes, Robin and Chopper on book, Sanji on ingredients, and Ussop on miscellaneous stuff. (We know they did on Logue town and Water 7)

As I remember all the parties were arranged by local people

sometimes it was the local, like in Alabasta, sometimes it was Luffy. Luffy wants a party and eventually invite everyone. And some of the food are sometimes theirs (I don't quite remember which arc but I remember Nami complaining about it)

No, they are not.
They always hit jackpots. I am not sure what arc you are up to, but they make lots of money on Alabasta, Thriller Bark, and so on. The problem is that they always have to spend it; buying the Sunny, etc. So they end up broke again. In fishman Island, they got lots of treasure but spent it all before they even left because something happened (You're not up to there so I won't say". The same process pretty much repeats every arc.

Is celestial spirit magic exclusive to females?
In the fairy tail universe, we see female celestial mages like Lucy, Yukino, Lyla, Sorano, etc, but we do not see any male characters with celestial spirit magic. So is the celestial spirit magic exclusive to females or are there male celestial spirit mages also?

As stated in Parth Srivastav's answer, Duke Everlue (the previous owner of virgo's key) is a celectial wizard shown in the early chapters of Fairytail.

That’s not true. Everlue opened Virgos gate. So he obviously was using Celestial Spirit Magic. Although his primary magic of choice was his Digger Magic. It’s not like we havent seen other wizards using more than one type of magic. So I guess the answer is no. It’s not exclusive to females.

Celestial Spirit Magic is a type of Magic in which the user summons Celestial Spirits by opening their gates through the use of Celestial Spirit Gate Keys. These Keys are separated into two classes: the more common Silver Keys and the rarer Gold Keys. Keys for Celestial Spirits are counted in Units (collectively without regard of Gold or Silver), and a Celestial Spirit Mage is noted by how many Units they have obtained.

Celestial Spirit Magic is not exclusive to women, although the majority of users shown in the manga are women.
For instance Everlue and Zoldio are two male characters who have used Celestial Spirit magic in the manga thus far.
Complete list of users http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Celestial_Spirit_Magic

Thanks for the answer. There are too many female celestial mages that I totally forgot about Everlue and Zoldio.

Why is it that the swordsman's attacks appear to do nothing until they click the sword back into its sheath?
For example, in One Piece, Brook, and sometimes Zorro, do some big attack with their swords, but the cuts are not shown until after they return their swords to the sheaths.

The attack is so fast that you can't follow it's movement. I think it's once explained in Mahou Sensei Negima as sword iai, during the Mahora Martial Arts Tournament arc.

@nhahtdh But like, they'll do the attack then they will hang around for a second or two then click their sword in. The enemy still doesn't show any reaction at all until the click.

I guess it is an exaggerated depiction of Iaijutsu (like the case of ninja), where a master can supposedly cut things so fast that the object being cut does not separate until a moment later.

The real question is, Why does the swordsman wait until the cuts are about to be shown before they finally click their sword into the sheath?

If we are talking about Zoro, you should go back to Thriller Back Arc. Do you remember the scene which Brook watches Zoro and the Samurai to fight? He says he cannot even follow their movements. But when they strike each other with an attack they both understand what the other have done because they can read movements at  this speed. And also these are fiction.. so there is no proper real explanation!

This trope is usually attributed to Fist of The North Star, after Kenshiro attacks someone he pauses and says "You are already dead". It is only then that they realise their defeat and the attacks are applied.

Reference.
Another Reference (TVTropes)
It's similar to how in Road Runner, Wilee Coyotee often runs off of cliffs, without realising the ground below him has stopped - he only falls when this is pointed out to him.

The usual rationale is that everything happens so fast that the character cannot register what is going on - and neither does their body.

Also for dramatic emphasis. Especially when two swordsmen exchange blows and you're not sure which one got cut until a moment or two later.

I'm pretty sure I've seen the trope that the OP is about, and even though your answer has a couple of examples from elsewhere that are similar, It hasn't convinced me that the trope comes from your examples.

This slashing technique is explained in Chapter 450: General Zombie Night.  known as Hanauta Sancho: Yahazugiri (literal meaning: Three verse humming: Arrow-notch slash). The slash occurs at such a fast pace that it appears as if the swordsman simply walked past the victim. The victim feels the effects only after a certain amount of time, which is about the time to walk three metres (or ten feet) away. As Dr. Hogback points out, the victim continues to hum three verses, and only then realize that they have been cut. Further, he notes that only a "master" swordsman can use this slashing technique.
The swordsman sheathing the sword and announcing "I have already cut you", moments before the victim feels the slash is only because it looks cool. The victim would feel the effect all the same even if the swordsman just stood there doing nothing after slashing.

TV Tropes defines this as Delayed Causality. It is purposely meant for dramatic effect.
The in-universe explanations for it (if any) are often noticeably tongue-in-cheek rather than meaningful. There is nothing believable about cutting someone up with a sword and them failing to notice.
In One Piece this is more strongly associated with Brook, because his fighting style has emphasis on speed and "so fast they didn't notice" plays to it.

Long story short, the motion is so fast we can't realise what has been done. Our body also doesn't realise it has been cut until a few seconds. Similar to a scene where somebody is running to the edge of a cliff, suddenly looks down and realises that he has already crossed the cliff and after a few seconds, just falls down.

Did you ever experience being cut or injured and you notice it later because the cut or injury was insignificant that you fail to notice it until it's pointed out to you or you feel pain later due to a movement that depends on the place where you get injured or cut?
It is probably inspired by these kind of situations in real life but with a little exaggeration (being that the cut is critical that you can't possibly be that stupid that you can't notice and you can pretty much predict the exact moment that the victim will feel the injury every time without fail)

This trope isn't even really a trope in the sense that most tropes are. IE in being a sort of ridiculous  event that is habitually used in modern writing due to it being an expedient plot device, and it has its origins way in the past, prior to any animation or movies even existing.  It has roots in reality that go beyond movie/anime writing devices that provide dramatic effect.
It refers to becoming so proficient with your sword, your technique and human physiology that you can make a cut clean through some part of a person not only extremely quickly, but while encountering essentially zero resistance (such as from striking bone) In a technical sense, it would be because your muscle control, edge control, technique and knowledge are so perfect that - let's say in a decapitation - the edge of your blade naturally moves only in places in between the bones rather than a sloppier blow that's simply a wild chop.
If one was sufficiently proficient, they could deliver a single devastating, dismembering/fatal, blow that was delivered with such finesse and so perfectly that their opponent's reaction was vastly delayed as the lack of violence of the strike itself wasn't enough to even break their chain of thought, it's only when their eyes make contact with the wound that they realize something grievous has happened.
It's a little ridiculous here people thinking that they'd know immediately if they lost an arm or were otherwise struck with such a blow - as the body doesn't really have a discrete sense picture that goes along with dismemberment.  The body plans on never being dismembered - and as such, it doesn't doesn't have a particular nerve signal that tells you "HEY, ARM CHOPPED OFF" and as such it can't differentiate between "OMG OW MY ARM" and "OMG YOU CHOPPED MY ARM OFF".  Hence realization visually is a key component of knowing what's happened in this situation (which I point out only to be more clear regarding why this trope isn't really nearly as ridiculous as one might think at first glance).
Also, given a lifetime of experience as a human being, where every time you feel a pain in your hand, and you look down, your hand is always there.  The one time it's not is definitely a shock, and assuming its removal isn't accompanied by the simultaneous shattering of every local bone and said cut was administered with aforementioned skill, technique and a very sharp blade, an appropriate reaction to it that fully understands its seriousness would most definitely be delayed, and it would be this way for any normal human being who doesn't spend their day to day expecting a limb to be missing every time they feel a twinge.
The effect, as a result of practice and technique is described as such in The Book of the Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi - a 17th century samurai most well known for having won more duels to the death than...well, likely anyone ever (something like 60 duel to death wins between ages 12 and 30.)  And a revolutionary master of the blade.  One opponent of his was waiting to ambush him along with their friends and bodyguards after challenging Musashi to a duel; Musashi spotted the ambush and then still was able to run up to the man, remove his head with a single sword stroke and then get away unscathed despite the dozen+ other men waiting there thinking only about killing him,
So his credentials are solid.  Yes it works for dramatic effect, but it's just not nearly as silly and outlandish as the answers here are making it out to be.

How do you pronounce Roronoa's name?
I've heard from varying sources that Roronoa's name is pronounced two different ways and I was wondering what is the correct way to say it. I have heard it pronounced 'Zoro' in the manga but my bilingual (Japanese and English) friend says that it is pronounced 'Zolo.' So what is the correct way to pronounce his name?
What I'm trying to ask is, is his name Zoro or Zolo?
Also is Roronoa his first or last name?

Japanese makes no distinction between R and L in pronunciation. Both are equally correct (Zoro vs Zolo).

@MadaraUchiha To be more precise, the pronunciations of ら (ra), り (ri), る (ru), れ (re), ろ (ro) lie somewhere in between the corresponding R & L sounds of English.

@Cyberson By the way, did you mean how to spell Zoro's name?

Its the same how Luffy's name is pronounced. Ruffi or Ruffy or Luffy. That's japanese for you my friend! :)

@Cyberson I had overlooked your last question about the first name and last name. Now I have answered that as well.

watch some subbed anime.  they'll say his name

The pronunciation of the hiragana character ろ is the correct way to pronounce the ro in Roronoa Zoro's name. This pronunciation lies somewhere in between the English pronunciations of Ro and Lo (though closer to Ro). You can find an audio file with the pronunciation on this page at guidetojapanese.org.
The canonical Roman spelling for his name is Roronoa Zoro, since this is the spelling used on his bounty poster. In the English dub, 4kids changed his name to Zolo for some reason.

His first name is Zoro, and last name is Roronoa. The Japanese place their family name before their first name.

That's a tiny bounty.  It's a thousand'th of vash's

Roar-oh-know-ah is the pronunciation of Roronoa

This doesn't really answer the question, which (despite the title) was about the character's surname.

@senshin You point is valid, but you got the details mixed up. His first name is Zoro, and last name is Roronoa.

During the Substitute Shinigami arc, it is mentioned that Ichigo and Ginjo are Substitute Shinigami. What does this mean?
During the Substitute Shinigami arc, it is covered that both Ichigo and Ginjo are Substitute Shinigami (Ginjo being and ex-Substitute Shinigami). How does one become a Substitute Shinigami, what does this title bring with it, and why is Ginjo no logger a holder of said title?

As you may have noticed, fixing your answer has helped regain votes, the same can be done for your question, one suggestion can be by referring to which episode or chapter “Substitute Shinigami” are mentioned. Since also you self answered maybe tailor your question to your answer ie. "Who are Substitute Shinigami and how are they found", this is already covered in your answer

@Memor-X I was able to change both the title and the body to better convey what I was trying to get at. Do you think that this works better?

The body is much better (you can still fit the part about your friends not understanding the term). the question title in my opinion is a bit long than what it needs to be, remember that in the question body can flesh out a short question title. you already mention in your question body about the arc and the characters so you probably don't need them in the title, maybe something along the lines of What does it mean when someone becomes a "Substitute Shinigami". though that's just my opinion, some people may prefer the question title as it is

According to the Bleach Wiki:

A Substitute Shinigami (死神代行, shinigami daikō) is someone who became Shinigami by obtaining another Shinigami's power, or by going through a much harder and riskier process to transform him/herself into one.

Ginjo was the first Substitute Shinigami that was recognized as such by the Gotei 13. The origin of his powers is unknown but according to Captain Soi-Fong he murdered many shinigami to get his powers.
Ichigo, on the other hand, received his powers from Rukia Kuchiki when she gave him a portion of her power by the method of endowing her zanpakuto with said power and stabbing Ichigo with it, in order to protect his family.

If a Substitute Shinigami appears, Soul Society gives that Shinigami a special badge which they use to monitor and restrict the Substitute. However, the Substitute is told that it is a license which is given to Substitutes that prove beneficial to Soul Society to allow them to do their work and identify them as a Substitute. The badge alerts the user if Hollows are nearby via an alarm sound which can only be heard by the owner and the item itself is only visible to other spiritually aware beings. The Badge can also allow the soul to leave the body.

Ichigo received his badge after he went to SPOILER invade the Seireitei to rescue Rukia from being murdered on account of her giving power to a Human. The Gotei 13 saw the sheer power Ichigo possessed and recognized him as a Substitute Shinigami so they make keep an eye on him and call on him in times in need (Personal opinion which preceded to be the spine of the rest of the series's plot).
Ginjo received his badge for a similar reason, so that the Gotei 13 could watch his actions (specifically so he would not murder more Shinigami to gain power) and to call on him in times of need.SPOILER In time he realized the real purpose of the badge and feeling betrayed he disappeared from the Gotei 13's radar without a trace.
Source:Bleach Wikia

it might be better if you edited your answer to be more in your own words rather than a direct copy and paste from the wiki and maybe expand on some of information like comparing how the badge works to the Soul Candy and Soul Pager or how someone obtains another Shinigami's power in the first place

@Memor-X Is that better?

i'd edited the question to be a bit better formatted in my oppinion, i don't know who Ginjo is but maybe add the reason why he recived his bade since you state why Ichigo got his (The Gotei 13 saw the sheer power Ichigo possessed and recognized him as a Substitute Shinigami, Ginjo got his powers though murdering other Shinigami so i can't really think why he would be viewed the same as Ichigo)

@Memor-X Ginjo is from the Substitute Shinigami arc which takes place after the Fake Karakura Town arc, and I added the info.

What was the result of Sanji's battle in episode 794? (spoilers)
In episode 794,

 Sanji fights his father. We don't see the ending/outcome of the battle, but we do see Sanji and his father after the battle.

Does this get shown later via flashbacks? Sanji had equal footing and/or the upper hand, but their interaction shows that Sanji did not win. What happened?

Sanji lost the battle. I was almost sure but now I've confirmed it.
From the Brazilian wiki last sentence (and translated by me):

 Judge stabs one of his soldiers and attacks Sanji with Denji Shaft, which makes an explosion sending the defeated Sanji far away.

I saw that, but Sanji acted like it wasn't much of anything.

In my honest opinion, it just shows that he really doesn't care about his father.

Yeah, generally that fight was till there, no more further, after that kick offing Sanji. Sanji didn't fought a fair fight actually! It doesn't compare many thing in that regards, but focusing on the on going Story, emotion that time.

What are the dimensions of the State Alchemist pocket watch?
I want to cosplay as Roy Mustang for Halloween but as I was looking at the costumes online I noticed the cosplay pocket watches are tiny! The biggest one is 5cm. But in the anime, they look like a full palm-sized pocket watch. I was wondering if anyone knows the actual dimensions of the State Alchemist pocket watch?

I doubt they ever give the actual dimensions of the State Alchemist watches, but from a cursory search of the internet, 5cm would be a fairly normal-sized pocket watch, particularly if it's for the entire thing (case and all). Normal measurements are done of the movement, which is the thing inside the case, and ~40mm seems normal for that.

Official licensed product: https://www.amazon.com/Fullmetal-Alchemist-Brotherhood-Necklace-Accessories/dp/B005CFO8RE

Here are some images of the watch as it appears in the hands of various characters, this should give you an idea of the size of watch you want:

How did Aizen start the Holllowfication on Shinji's team?
After Sosuke Aizen, Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tousen reveal themselves near to the end of Season 11, Shinji Hirako and the other Soul Reapers who later become the Vizards suddenly start to Hollowfy.
At first I thought that because the last thing we saw of Kensei Muguruma before he Hollowfied was that he was stabbed by Kaname Tousen using his Zanpakuto's release, I thought that maybe Kaname did something to Kensei and Mashiro Kuna. However when Aizen turned up and the team starts to Hollowfy before Kaname turned up. Also Hiyori Sarugaki was for the most part being held by Shinji and there was no indication that she had a run in with Kaname as she was fighting Kensei and she Hollowfied while Shinji was holding her.
So I am wondering how did Aizen start the Holllowfication on Shinji's team?

We don't really know what created the Hollowfication process.
To quote from Fandom:

It is unclear how the other Visored gained their current status. What is known is Sōsuke Aizen was instrumental in the Hollowfication process, though whether he knew of the full potential of the results is left to be questioned. The process used seems to spread as some form of possible infection through wounds which has the desired effects on souls with high-level Reiryoku, as compared to souls with low-level Reiryoku. The infected experience great sickness and fatigue, eventually vomiting up Reishi in the form of a white liquid, which forms the beginnings of their Hollow mask before proceeding to transform their bodies and warp their minds. Other than that, all that is known is the process is accelerated by increased stress. The conclusive result makes a Shinigami into a primarily Hollow-like humanoid, which is a highly unstable transformation causing mindlessness and aggression.

It should be noted that all members of the Visored except Shinji and Hiyori were cut by Tousen, and Hiyori was wounded by Hollowfied Kensei and Shinji was cut by Hollowfied Hiyori, so the Fandom article's claim that the Hollowfication process is probably caused by infection through wounds is sound.
However, it is almost certain that the source of the Hollowfication process is the Hougyoku:

Hollowfication/Arrancarification: While not truly an ability of the Hōgyoku itself, the orb took on this property because it is what Kisuke Urahara desired when he invented it. Through this power, the Hōgyoku could be used to bypass the barrier which separates Shinigami and Hollows. As such, it can cause Shinigami to undergo Hollowfication and Hollows to undergo Arrancarification. These processes lead to the creation of a Hollow-Shinigami hybrid and an Arrancar, respectively.

also note that White initiated the hollofication process on Masaki just by biting her. Plus, They were all under Aizen's Hypnosis so we dont even know if what we saw is what was actually happening.

How was Aizen building up the Espada before getting the Hogyoku?
In Season 10, after Nnoitra survives the Cero Doble that Nelliel ate and shot back, Nnoitra said that it had been years since Nelliel was an Espada.
From my understanding the Espada only started to form after Aizen got the Hogyoku and I don't see how it's been years since he took the Hogyoku out of Rukia.
So how was Aizen building up the Espada before getting the Hogyoku?

I believe the scene in question is from chapter 291 and episode 192, so this is what I'm going to work off of.
According to the wiki:

The original Espada were already in existence sometime before Aizen's defection from Soul Society and acquisition of the Hōgyoku.

So this would mean that Aizen did not have either Hōgyoku before the Espada were being gathered.
Then to answer the second half of your question, in the scene you mentioned Nnoitra is talking about how it has been years since Nelliel has taken her full form as an Espada due to the trama he inflicted on her long before rendering her appearance to that of a small child.

So in this instance he was not saying that it had been years since Nelliel had become an Espada, but that it had been years since she returned to being an Espada.

The original Espada were already in existence as Vasto Lordes. They turned into the Espada we know only after they come in contact with Aizen. Hougyoku is needed for a Hollow to pass the boundary between Hollow and Shinigami.

SPOILER ALERT for those who haven't finished Aizen's Arc!
Just a guess based on the fact that there were 2 Hougyoku. The fact that there were 2 Hougyoku was disclosed during a flashback of Ichimaru Gin's memory as he was dying.
There were 2 hougyoku, one made by Urahara and another made by Aizen. The latter was then fused into the first as both were incomplete. The fused one is the perfected Hougyoku that was hidden inside Rukia.
Since there was years prior to the story then a reasonable answer would be Aizen was using his own Hougyoku. This is because the other Hougyoku was in Urahara's lab. But then again, since it is Aizen that we are talking about here, another possibility would be that after both was fused, Aizen used Kyouka Suigetsu's Kanzen Saimin (Perfect Hypnosis) on Urahara to make him believe that the Hougyoku was still with him while in actual Aizen took it with him to perform some experiments with the Hollows.
The second theory has a weakness in that why would Aizen return it to Urahara, which suggest that there might be a time limit to Kyouka Suigetsu's Kanzen Saimin. It would be possible to determine which one happened had we know the extend of Aizen's Hougyoku's power. What we currently know is the power of the already fused Hougyoku and there is no way we can know the limit of the two original Hougyoku since Bleach has already ended without it being disclosed. It is safe to say that the original Hougyoku would be weaker compared to the fused Hougyoku, but what abilities each can grant, whether both grant the same abilities or not, well, we wouldn't know.

I always thought Aizen fused them after he got Urahara's from Rukia. Though Kanzen Saimin could explain it, it does not explain why he had to take one from Rukia. It makes the most sense that he had his own, and everything in the story up until he left the Soul Society was simply to obtain Urahara's Hougyoku.

The fusion happened back during Aizen's Gotei days. IIRC it was either explained by Aizen when he was dying from a surprise attack, during Aizen vs Ichigo+Isshin or when Ichimaru Gin was dying. Forgot which one exactly. He needs to take the one inside Rukia since a that time that is the only Hougyoku since his was already fused into it.

The short answer: by being a magnificent bastard with an overpowered shikai.
The more general answer varies slightly between each Espada.  Aizen would find the to-be Espada and prey upon their weaknesses and desires to lure them to his banner.  Sometimes they just wanted ever more power, either because they had a singular lust for it (like Grimmjow), or because they wished to use it to some ends.

 For example, Halibel wanted it to protect her friends/fraccion from the aggressions of other hollows.

And Starrk

 Just wanted companionship.
 Chapter 375, Page 7, Aizen finds and recruits Starrk:

But sometimes brute force comes into play.

At one point, someone explains that the reason that Aizen can keep such a powerful group of Espada functioning together is by his sheer, overwhelming power.
 In Chapter 371, for example, we see how he recruited Barragan.  It was basically by humiliating him.  Here's a few of those pages:
 Page 4
 Page 7
 Page 8
 Page 11
 Page 12
 Page 13

One thing that may be worth noting here:

 When we see Aizen recruiting Barragan, he has his "soul society" haircut, so this is before he's revealed as the bad guy, and so before he has extracted the Hogyouku from Rukia.  When we see him recruiting Starrk, though, he has his "post betrayal" haircut, so this event occurs after he has the Hogyouku from Rukia.

Why did Alphonse lose everything?
In the show, whenever an alchemist commits the taboo, they only lose one part of their body. Izumi lost organs, Ed lost his leg, and Mustang lost his eyesight. But, when Alphonse tried to transmute the soul he lost his entire body. Even though the equivalent exchange was justified for the other alchemists, I can't help but feel like Al's was not equivalent.
Can someone explain to me why he lost his whole body rather than just one part?

Maybe it's because the boys tried to use their blood as a material component and since it wasn't enough it took all of Al's body?

The author wanted him to be an artifitial body (armour).

Alphonse was shown more of the truth than Edward, however he forgot it at the beginning of Brotherhood. Only towards the end did he remember. Thus, seeing more of it warrants a greater toll.
Also, the truth takes from you that which is most ironic (which is why it is such a cruel thing); for example, Mustang had his sight taken as he had his 'sights' set on being Fuhrer. Alphonse had his entire body taken as he wanted to feel his Mother's hugs and warmth. Having his body taken means that can't happen anymore.

Deleted my earlier comment about not having seen a remark about Alphonse having seen more of the truth; apparently it probably comes up in a conversation between Ed and Izumi. I'd still note that the beginning of the manga/FMA:B is set a few years after the human transmutation attempt (which is shown as a flashback). It's possibly more accurate then to say that Alphonse forgot about the truth around the same time as the human transmutation attempt.

Good note about "irony". Another proof - Izumi wanted to resurrect her child, and has lost her internal organs, thus she became unable to give birth to another child.

Yes, but if Alphonse lost his entire body he should have learnt more of the knowledge from beyond the gate. It is still not clear what the buys learnt by going beyond the gate.

In the original, (or maybe it was Brotherhood, I'm not sure) Alphonse said that he was the one looking at Edward through his "mother's" body. So in the original or was because the body took Alphonse's soul for the body instead of theirs mother's. His blood was then disposed of, but the body they made for their mother rejected Alphonse's soul, leaving him with no body. In Brotherhood and the manga, I think it's just because Alphonse's was shown more of the truth.

Please include relevant sources/references.

How much of the light novels does the anime Sword Art Online covers (so far)?
So... I want to start reading Sword Art Online light novels, but I want to read them from the point the anime left off (that is, Sword Art Online II, episode 24). Does it even go chronologically? How do I go about it?

This might help https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sword_Art_Online_light_novels

but I want to read them from the point the anime left off
I would argue against that. The anime adaptation left out enough for novels to be worth re-reading.

The two seasons cover pretty much the whole story of the first eight light novels.
Only exception is "The First Day" chapter of the eighth novel.
However as Euphoric wrote the anime does not contain every bit of the novels.
Some things have been left out.
For example the second "Fairy Dance" novel includes an excursion of Kirito and Leafa into Jötunheimr which was left out of the anime.
So much regarding the anime.

The light novels are for the most part chronologically sorted.
The only exceptions are the second (which contains side stories for the first one) and the eighth one (which contains other side stories in SAO/ALO).
So you could start reading beginning with the first light novel or if you want a complete new story arc the ninth one.
There is also the "Sword Art Online: Progressive" light novel series which is a reboot of the original Aincrad arc and contains mostly new content.

How did Shinigami come into existence?
How is it that Shinigami come into being? If there was no way for them to come into existence(in the human world), would they just slowly die away when any of them kill for love? Also, can Shinigami die of old age?

I'll make this a comment since i can't answer the main question. Ryuk states when talking about how Shinigami work that they wont die if they aren't too lazy, remember, a Shinigami who uses a death note to kill a person, the difference between the victim's old life span and new life span is added to the Shinigami's own lifespan. it works in reverse too, when a Shinigami dies because they prevented a human from dying at their assigned time the dead Shinigami's lifespan is added to the human's (as Rem explains to Misa)

@Memor-X Why can you not answer the main Q?

because i don't know how Shinigami actually came to be in Death Note

It's a work of fiction, they came into existence because the authors wanted it that way.

@noko I wanted to know how they come into existence within the Deathnote universe.

If it helps any, the origin of my question comes from a discussion I had with one of my fellow Deathnote fans on the subject of the possibility of the new shinigami on the back of the final book being Light Yagami. I don't know if this will help to futher convey what I am looking for but here it is.

Shinigami, or death gods, rule the world of Death Note. A shinigami's purpose in life is to kill humans to extend their own lifespan, through the use of a death note.
Well, as you have already noticed, there are many different definitions of shinigami. The word is usually translated as "god of death", so you can think of them like grim reapers. And since the word "grim reaper" is also used for a variety of things, you can see how this can get interesting. There is no set definition for what a shinigami is, so the writers of different shows can just make things up. For your story, you get to decide whether you have to die to become a shinigami, and you get to decide whether certain people become shinigami.
In Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, the word Shinigami is used to refer to a character whose friends and family kept dying. It's a really loose word.
But if you're asking specifically about Death Note.... In Death Note, the shinigami do not have to die and they are not people who have become shinigami. The manga doesn't really go into the history of the shinigami, but it is implied that they have been shinigami for the entirety of their existence.
One of many stories about Shinigami coming to existence is :

The Shinigamis become how they are because they commited suicide and as punishment they have to collect souls.
    If a shinigami fully remembers his or her past life before becoming a full shinigami, he or she disappears and becomes a ghost. They become full shinigamis by collecting their first soul.
    Personally, I think this is more easy to understand.

what is the source for your quote?

Source appears to be this passage on the wiki page for Full Moon o Sagashite (why tho?)

Almost all of this answer does not answer the question, which asks how shinigami come into existence in Death Note.

@senshin I have to agree this does not really answer the question since it is directed at Death Note Shinigamis, and not just Shinigamis in general.

@cyberson what exactly do you want to know? how shinigami came to existence in death note or in general??

@Elysium I wanted to know how they came into existence in Death Note, thus the tag.

@cyberson apart from 4th paragraph I couldn’t find more.. :(

How do they imbue their weapons with Haki?
In the One Piece world, you can give a devil fruit power to weapons (things) by destroying it with that weapon. It seems one can also give haki to weapon, how can they do that? Kuja tribe member Marguerite is the first to be seen doing that. (Chapter 516)

I think the answer to this question might also answer yours: http://anime.stackexchange.com/q/6394/6166 I agree with Spot's answer, in that most manga's follow the idea that clothing and weapons are part/extension of the owner's body and can thus reform (like Smoker's Jitte) or can be imbued with Haki (like Zoro's sword), just like your own body.

Only Color of Armaments can be given to a weapon. Since weapon is non-living, Color of Observation and Conqueror's Haki cannot be provided. Weapons can be thought of like an extension of one's limbs (although not mentioned in OP, this is usually the case in most manga). Color of Armaments provides an extra layer of hard protection from external injury to one's body. With sufficient practice, it can be used as weapon to attack. Since weapons are an extension of one's body, weapons are given armament protection to make them more lethal.
Also, Rayleigh did mention that Color of Armaments can be imbued with a weapon for more impact. But how it is done has not been explained properly.

can you give some source? maybe from what episode or chapter?

don't remember but i'll check .

check episode 516. Rayleigh training luffy.

It's not much more than SpOT's answer, but I'll added the sources.
It's never clearly explained. Rayleigh and Mihawk only mention the overall concept of extending reinforcement Haki to weapons to Luffy and Zorry respectively (Chapter 597 and 779):

After his fight with Pica, Zorry remembers a conversion with Mihawk:

However this idea in manga is not new, and it reminds of how in hunterXhunter Nen can be extended to a weapon if you think about that weapon being an extension of your body (notice Killua mentions "reinforcement"; Chapter 140):

Aizen vs Everyone
During the battle: Aizen vs. The Gotei 13 & The Visored (Episode 292, 293 and 294), Aizen was stabbed by Shinji, Suì-Fēng,  Shunsui and Hitsugaya. However, it turned out that Hinamori was stabbed due to Aizen's ability.
To my understanding, Aizen's ability could affect any of the Shinigami in Soul Society because they all had seen his power before. But Ichigo had not seen it and that was why he was considered to be such an asset. Aizen implied that he had been using his ability since he arrived. I would have thought Ichigo would have seen through the ability from the start.
If Aizen had activated his ability before he arrived, Ichigo should have seen through it. If he activated after Ichigo arrived, how did Gotei 13 not see though it earlier?
My questions: when did Aizen activate his ability and switch with Hinamori and how come it affected Ichigo?

I thought it happened before ichigo could stop it/understand what was going on. Aizen was constantly using his ability on those who had already seen it but hadn't done what he needed to do to induce it on ichigo a that point. I never understood what that was.

What makes you think that he used his ability only once in the battle?

@ytg I assumed he could not activate his ability once it was already activated without deactivating it momentarily

I imagine the working of his ability more like Getsuga Tenshou and less like Senbonzakura. But we don't have any information about that AFAIK.

AFAIK it didn't affect Ichigo. It has been forever since I watched this part, but Ichigo didn't take direct part in the confrontation, it just happened so quickly that Ichigo was probably wondering just what their attack strategy actually was. IMO it wouldn't make much sense to instead show the fight from Ichigo's point of view and just explain Aizen's trick every time it happens.

I don't recall Ichigo ever being exposed to his release.  I'll answer the question proper when I find a more suitable box to.

The requirement for Kyoka Suigetsu's Kanzen Saimin is that Aizen needs to have everyone see it released once, that is going from normal form into its shikai form. After that, whenever Aizen activates it, even if they don't see its release, they will be affected.
Aizen replied to Hirako Shinji, "Since when are you under the impression that I'm not using my power?" This means, from the very beginning, he is using it. It wasn't mentioned since when, but probably ever since he shows up, or during the time he was trapped inside the firewall made by Head Captain Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni. One thing for sure is that he activated it before Ichigo came. That's why, Ichigo wasn't affected by it. Ichigo didn't see the release. What he saw is its released form already.
Ichigo wasn't affected by it. He was just confused with what he saw, that the 3 captains are stabbing Hinamori.
Adding to the when he switched with Hinamori part, we cannot answer that. We too as the viewer are under the effect of Kyoka Suigetsu (as in what was shown to us was from the captains' point of view). Possibly from the very moment Hinamori was down. That was Aizen faking it while the real Hinamori is still fighting.

Which might be the first anime and manga "time loop" type
In a few anime and manga the protagonist or entire group are stuck in certain time event can't make time move forward. I mean whatever the protagonist does, the day is always September 2 all the time. In order to change that, he needs to do something. For example (Kurugaya route in Little Buster Viusal Novel, first volume of Hakomari Light Novel).
What were the first manga and anime produced with such trait?

What you're describing sounds like the film Groundhog Day. Is that what you're talking about?

indeed, i mean time loop

According to an article in Japanese Wikipedia, critics like Hiroki Azuma and Masachi Osawa have cited Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer (1984) as the "pioneering work" or "classical work" featuring this structure in the Japanese anime/manga field. After this movie, the otaku industry experienced a surge in the use of this plot device.
Arguably, the Chapter of Strange Beings (1981) in Osamu Tezuka's masterpiece Phoenix has a similar structure, but in this case:

 the protagonist herself does not experience the loop, but is endlessly replaced by younger incarnation of herself.

Where is Yoruichi's Zanpakuto?
Since the beginning, we see Yoroichi does not wield a Zanpakuto, but isn't it strange? Isn't she a Shinigami and the Zanpakuto is so important for them?
It's true that she has her own fighting style, but like Soi Fon, she has the same fighting style, but uses a Zanpakuto.
There was some flashback moments when we saw younger Yoroichi wielding a Zanpakuto:

I imagine she had Shikai/Bankai to become a Captain, so she should be stronger if she uses it in a fight. Maybe she has lost it or something?

They never explicitly said anything about her Zanpakuto in the Manga or Anime. Though I doubt she got rid of it

Can I daresay that Tite Kubo forgot about it? Maybe he had some ideas in his head but eventually forgot to flesh it out. One can point to many other inconsistencies in Bleach

There are many THEORIES as to what happened to her Zanpakuto. I'm not sure if I can ANSWER your question as definitely as you'd like, but I can list some possible answers. It's up to you to find the one that you believe most plausible. Or we can wait til old Tite Kubo gives us the answer.

She gave it up when she left the Soul Society.

Yoruichi is a part of a very honorable family, so it's almost possible that she would leave her Zanpakuto to symbolize the fact that she's leaving the Seireitei.
However, a Zanpakuto is a partnership. It's doubtful that somebody could just leave their partner, especially if their Zanpakuto is an animate object. Also, why would she have to give up something that important?

It was stolen.

It's not impossible to believe that after a particularly long bout with some Hollow, or another Soul Reaper, it was taken as a trophy. Or even destroyed?
However, Yoruichi is an extremely amazing fighter. She couldn't have lost unless she fought something on the level of the Espada.

She keeps it with her, but sees no point in using it.

This is what I believe. That she just has it set aside and is waiting for an opportune moment to use it.
However, why wouldn't she have used it by now??? You would think, with all the amazing enemies that have been introduced, she would've pulled it out by now.
Also, the only reasons she wouldn't use it is if

It is too weak to make a difference in battle and she sees no point in using it
Or, it is too STRONG and she cannot properly control it
Or, she had a falling out with it, and she's not allowed to use it.

Those are just some theories. I believe she wouldn't have gotten rid of it. I think she would've done what Kisuke did. Personally, I think we'll see it one day, along with her Bankai. Sorry that I couldn't answer your question.

She might not use it because of some restriction placed on her when she left, i'm sure Kisuke has restrictions on himself but this is only based off from how he was rejected by the gate he created earlier when first sending Ichigo and friends to save Rukia

possibly she is in a permanent shikai state and her Zanpakuto's released form isn't clearly visible

While there is no definitive answer at this point many of the theories out there are plausible.  I however, personally think that one of the most overlooked and underestimated answers is that she simply doesn't like/want to use it.  Much to the same affect as to why Sui Feng does not like using her Bankai.  (Said reason being that it does not conform to the style of combat the leader of the Stealth Force conforms to.)  One may also note that most of the unnamed members of the Stealth Force are typically shown with no Zanpakuto.  One must also take into account that Yoruichi is well regarded as one of the finest hand to hand combatants in Soul Society as well as one of the fastest and most proficient users of Shunpo.  Keeping these things in mind, perhaps her Zanpakuto would provide no benefit or even hinder her fighting style.

Good reasoning drawing Sui Feng and the Stealth Force as examples.

The story of Yoruichi's departure from Soul Society and her back story and Soifon's initiation state that Suzumebachi is the Zanpakuto given to all the reigning leader of the Onmitsukidō or Stealth Force. Yoruichi doesn't have her Zanpakuto because it is inherent to the current leader of the Stealth Force, which she is not.

any sources to go with this statement?

When they are showing soifon and youroichi's relationship and youroichi's departure from ss can't remember exactly which anime episode, or which manga chapter it was in, but it was definitely during the end of the arc where they are saving rukia

@Dimitrimx A year later now, but there are more recent developments which show that a Zanpakuto can be passed on to others.  Even early on we know that Tosen's Zanpakuto was actually someone else's.  More recently we have seen Zanpakutos passed down as ritual implements for certain organizations or households.  So it is plausible that the Stealth Squad has a similar tradition.

I believe it's more like Ise Nanao's case. It's probable that it's a family something and so she had to give it up for the next in her family to wield it

Can you elaborate on your answer? Provide sources (chapters, episodes, etc) to back up your speculations, at least.

In her fight with soi fon she throws a kunai.
She merged with it.
She is really the physical manifestation of urahara's zanpakto which is why he doesnt use it past shikai.

I believe this is incorrect (as far as the third point is concerened) as as far as i know, Kisuke Urahara's Zanpakutō is Benihime and he wilds her when training Ichigo at the same time Yoroichi is training Orihime and Chad early in the series (before mounting the rescue operation for Rukia)

In the Zanpaktou Rebellion Arc, it is told by Suzumebachi or Soifon's zanpaktou that she used to belong to Yorouichi. I just saw this recently, but if you see around the 4:30 minute mark of this video, Suzumebachi states this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DgCe9wM_0k.

Suzumebachi mentions the line "After all, I was your Zanpakuto" - She's referring that she was Soifon's Zanpakuto before the events in this arc.

Who is the silver-haired girl from this picture?

I don't remember seeing this girl from the series. What is her name and how is she related to any of the characters?

She is Otoha Nakano, however since I haven't seen this, I'll leave the full answer to someone else. Apparently she has a bigger role in the PSP/Vita game.

Here's all I found.
Nakano Otoha (中野乙羽) first appears in the anime in episode 12 as part of the audience.

She is one of the credited characters in the PSP/Vita game (presumably with a bigger role). Her seiyū is Yuka Ōtsubo (大坪 由佳).

Translation of her profile:

Suimei Art University Associated High School (a.k.a. Suikou) first year student. Although she is not a resident of Sakurasou, impressed by Sorata and co. performance, she told Sorata "I want to help". She is also the one who invites everyone to participate in "Super Creator Scouting Contest" this time around. Her favorite are vinegar kelp, which she always brings along and according to her would "blow away any fatigue", and making snacks for members of Sakurasou who are tired from making game from time to time.

Wikia says about her personality:

Nakano is an optimistic girl, her hair is tied into two ponytails. She was born in Montreal, Quebec. She moveｄ to Japan when she was 8. She stops　going to school at the age of 12 because an incident occurred where she was stabbed by a guy. She goes back to her school at the age of 17, starts her 5th year of junior high school. She finishes and graduates her junior high school at the age of 18. After she graduates, she goes to Suimei and she starts her 1st year of senior high school at the age of 19. 3 year later when the story is started, she is twenty-two years old now and she is a 1st year student.

She doesn't seem to be on any of the drama CDs. At least, her seiyū isn't credited on any of them.

Why is Erza able to feel pain during Kyouka's fight?

Don't read the question below if you are not up-to-date to the Fairy Tail manga. It may contain spoilers

In the chapter 399-400 from Fairy Tail manga, Erza is fighting Kyouka to stop faces's activation.
During this fight, Kyouka used her curse to increase Erza's sensitivity to pain.

After this curse, she used another one to remove all Erza's five senses. But Erza continued to fight.

One of the five senses is tactile perception. Without it, she should not be able to feel anything, including pain. Shouldn't it make Kyouka's first curse useless?
But somehow Erza continued feeling a lot of pain and suffering a lot.

How can she feel this amplified pain since all her senses were stolen?

According to Wikipedia, pain isn't one of the traditional senses. It's marked under non-traditional senses.
I think that's the reason pain is NOT stolen together with tactile perception (well, I thought, before I looked deeper, pain is connected to the touch sense, but it seems not).
Traditional senses:

Sight
Hearing
Taste
Smell
Touch

These are 5 base senses (for more info, view this article). As you can see, pain is not listed. But there are others like:

Balance and acceleration
Temperature
Kinesthetic sense
Pain
Other internal senses

As you write,

she can curse to increase Erza's sensitivity to pain

but then

she remove all 5 senses from her in other curse.

Pain is not a base sense.

If you could clarify your answer a bit more it would be pretty good ;)

Check my edit, Pain is not in 5 senses.

Looks allot better already, good job :)

I once had "surgery" on my toe to remove a really bad ingrown toenail. They numbed me up good by injecting stuff directly onto my 4 main nerves, but still said i would experience Pressure, but no pain. Turns out they missed one and it hurt like hell, so they went back in and got it. From then on, I felt every move as they trimmed the nail all the way back to the root, but i didn't feel any real pain, just phantom pain because the pressure was so intense. +1 from me, I had it in real life but in reverse.

Why does Kuroko call Misaka "onee-sama"?
I just watched Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. It seems like Kuroko is in love with Misaka (?) and calls her "onee-sama", but when did it start? And why/how did this happen?

Onee-sama is commonly used in an idol-follower relationship between women, usually signifying extreme adoration on the part of the follower so on the surface it can look like Kuroko idolized Misaka because she's a Level 5.
However, we see that Kuroko sees Misaka as something than an Idol ie. groping her in the showers, getting jealous of any man being with her or wanting to see her, stealing her underwear,

 she has obviously done this before as she knew that the real Misaka would attack her if she stole her underwear using her Esper powers proving the one she was with was the real Misaka

this would indicate that Kuroko has feelings for Misaka which are ignored by Misaka possibly passing it off as just Kuroko's personality.
This would be a subset of the idol-follower type of relationship, signalling a lesbian relationship with the youngest of the couple referring to the oldest one as "Onee-sama", this is common in Shoujo Ai/Yuri where the youngest adores her older partner and the term is used to demonstrate how strong they feel as wanting to be a family with them.
However there are times where the oldest in the couple find this as a sort of "turn on", in the first Sono Hanabira game Yuuna gets Nanami to call her Onee-sama and the moment Nanami does we can see the euphoria in Yuuna as Yuuna keeps requesting Nanami to "say it again" and tries to get her to use it in conjunction with some lewd talk (to which Nanami releaises what she is about to say and stops it), Yuuna also tried to get Sara in the second game call Kaede Onee-sama but after a couple of uses Sara chooses not to.
Now as for the second part to your question, while i have yet to read the light novels, given Kuroko's personality it may have started when Misaka and her first met being "love at first sight", i remember Kuroko mentioning she had to "pull some strings" to get her and Misaka to share the same room and given how Misaka is used to Kuroko actions and how Kuroko is used to being "punished" it would indicate it's been going on for quite a while

This answer is correct, but also note that the use of sama is strictly an anime thing. This isn't how people actually address each other in real life.

In traditional Asian countries (like in Southeast Asia, China, Japan, etc.), you can address someone close to you as "older sibling" or "younger sibling" if their age is not far from yours, but if they are much older than you, sometimes you can address them as "Uncle" or "Aunt" even if they are not actually your family.
This applies to many anime due to Japanese tradition. Kuroko gives respect to Misaka as someone older than her, but calling such people "X-sama" primarily only happens in fiction. However, sometimes this term of address is actually used in family that have a perspective based in ancient tradition (like yakuza families, etc.), but this is not too common.
Note that calling someone "Uncle"/"Aunt" sometimes may not be polite (especially if the age difference is not substantial), because it makes it seem as you are treating them as old. Most of the time, in Asian tradition, we use just a word meaning "older/younger sibling" instead.

Is the Ginjo shown in chapter 681 of Bleach a 100% Shinigami?
By the end of the Substitute Shinigami Arc (Fullbring Arc), Ginjo was said to be dead, since Ichigo came to the captains' meeting and asked for Ginjo's body. Yet in chapter 681, Ginjo came with Tsukishima to help Ichigo. Does this means that the Ginjo in chapter 681 has turned into a 100% Shinigami, that is, he no longer is a Substitute Shinigami like he once was, but a 100% Shinigami since he is already dead and is a soul now?
(I guess 100% Shinigami is not a very good term to describe Ginjo since he was also a Fullbringer...)

Somehow I doubt this.   I doubt that he had died in the first place (as in, was actually confirmed dead in canon), and I doubt that he had a promotion to full Shinigami.  Further, if it were the case that he had died, him retaining his memories and abilities would moderately conflict with already established canon.  I may do a bit more research into this to figure it out, though.

The kid Chad saved remembers him when they met in Soul Society. Soul retain their memory in Bleach.

Ginjo was the first fullbringer in the series, his fullbringer is the ability to steal or take, he killed many shinigami and took their powers, a substitute shinigami doesnt need to be a actual shinigami, ginjo acted as a subtitute shinigami for SS but he himself did not have a shikai nor bankai as he was not a shinigami but a fullbringer, he obtain shikai/bankai when he took ichigos powers.

that is why ginjo died rather easily to ichigo, same for tsukishima, those injuries on a shinigami or hollow are not much but for a human body is death, the only problem i find is how ginjo kept his youth even tho he is older than 40 by the looks of his past, like quincy fullbringers also have the ability to live long lifes it seems

The Wikia states that he gained his powers by stealing them from other soul reapers (according to  Suì-Fēng). He had to steal Ichigo's powers to get himself a Bankai. Simply going to Soul Society wouldn't mean that he would gain soul reaper status, since unlike Ichigo, it is not indicated that he had innate soul reaper family history and has not been given soul reaper powers after Ichigo got his back from him. However, the Wikia also states that

When souls with exceptional spiritual energy train their bodies, they reach the level of Shinigami.

so since Ginjo is already trained and has exceptional spiritual energy, technically he should be a soul reaper as a soul. So, humans need to have soul reaper family history or someone to give them their powers to become soul reapers, but souls are innately able to become soul reapers with training and strong spiritual energy.

how did he get the original powers than in order to become a substitute shinigami? no way a ordinary human could beat a shinigami, they cant even see them. I also HIGHLY doubt he needed ichigos power to obtain his bankai.

He got his powers from an unknown source. He then proceded to use his powers to kill shinigami and steal their powers, adding to his power. He lost his power eventually leaving only his fullbring, likely because he was exiled from seiretei. The plan of the fullbringers was to steal Ichigo's power to add to their own, but Ginjo took all of it for himself, thus getting a bankai with getsuga tenshou. Of course, as we all know now, it wasn't really a bankai that he took...

Rather than citing a fan-edited wiki, you should cite the source that the wiki itself cites.

How can the spirits of Zanpakuto manifest in the real world?
After the Muramasa incident, Rangiku, Haineko and Orihime go shopping and take pictures.
Considering that normal people cannot see manifested Zanpakuto - as an example, Yuzu Kurosaki was unable to see Zabimaru's snake manifestation - how is it possible for Haineko to do things like that without a gigai?

I've edited this to what I think you mean. If the names are wrong, let me know.  Never heard of anyone named "Hinako" in the series, but I know of a Hinamori...

Haineko is zanpakuto spirit of rangiku

That was a filler. So it wasn't explained anywhere in the manga and as far the main story line is concerned, Zanpakuto's spirits cannot manifest a form other than the sword forms. They can however present their true form to the yeilder and no one else, unless you consider that weird equipment Urahara created for the sole purpose of training which is seen early on in the series.

This is not canon.
That scene is only part of the anime, not the manga. In the manga, nothing similar happens, and your Zanpakuto's spirit only appears to yourself, not anyone else.
There is also no information about any Zanpakuto having used a Gigai anywhere.

What did Kakashi/Sakura mean in this scenario? Naruto Shippuden Ep 484
https://youtu.be/V0zyVCjld9M
Ep 484 of Naruto Shippuden. "Exploding people"
Kakashi says "good observation", but neither of them verbally say it.
What did Sakura say without wording it?

Kakashi: Whoever did it, the genjutsu is unknown to us. It has to be
  the work of someone with extraordinary skill. So it will require someone
  with extraordinary Visual Jutsu powers.
Sakura: looks at Kakashi, startled
Kakashi : (noticing) Good observation.
Sakura : I didn't say anything. blush
Then she punches Naruto offscreen for asking about it.
Kakashi: We might not see anything, but a person with the Sharingan and
  Rinnegan might.

Please provide more details and don't depend on people watching a video

@JoeW Thanks Joe I added more detail. I understood the reference now. That video is not providing enough context, I had to watch a bit more from the episode. What do I do now? Now it looks like a lame question. Yep looks like it lacked research. So should I flag it?

You could post that as an answer but that is all up to you. The main reason I posted my comment is that not everyone is in a position to watch a video but they might be able to provide an answer from a description.

@Pavan: If you were able to figure out the answer yourself, you're more than welcome to self-answer the question. Others might find it useful.

So hear Sakura is thinking about Sasuke(because sharingan genjutsu is the best) hence the entire scenario plays out.

Ep 484 happens after Naruto the last movie.
Prelude to which Sasuke(Sakura's husband) goes away from the village to gather info on Kaguya and help others on his way.
He's has been distant to his family, so Sakura is excited about him being back.
Because he's diligent about helping the village and he's the one with highest visual jutsu prowess, She knew he'd come to help. She's shy about reveling her excitement.

In Bleach, did Isshin become a captain after Urahara was exiled? If not, then where was he when Hirako and the others were getting beaten up by Aizen?
I am a little confused about the timeline in Bleach.
I know that sometime after Urahara was exiled, Isshin went to the living world and fought that Vasto Lorde, and then Aizen stabbed him from behind, etc. But where was Isshin before Urahara got exiled?
I did not see him in the captains' meeting when Hirako, etc. were sent to the forest where Shinigami were disappearing. If he was not the captain of squad 10 at that time, then who was?

10th division had no captain when Urahara was instated as captain of the 12th division, and the post (most likely) had yet to be filled by the time Urahara was exiled.
In volume 36, during the "Turn Back the Pendulum" mini-arc set 110 years prior to the start of the series, during the time leading up to Urahara's inauguration, the captains discuss the present state of affairs. They mention things such as:

11th company's captain, Kenpachi (the 10th Kenpachi, i.e. the one
before Zaraki), is slacking off, which explains his absence
throughout the arc;
12th company's previous captain was promoted, hence why Urahara has
been appointed as captain;
and 10th company's captain has died.

All active captains were summoned twice during the arc: once during the inauguration of Urahara, and then at the climax of the arc when Captain Commander Yamamoto is responding to the disappearance of 9th division's investigation team. In both instances, squad 10 lacked a delegate; this strongly implies the post is vacant.
We do not know when Isshin Shiba (later Kurosaki) was appointed captain of 10th company, but we do know when he left the post: 20 years prior to the start of the series, and 90 years after Urahara was exiled.
This is expanded upon in chapter 529 onwards, which shows

 Isshin investigating a mysterious series of Shinigami deaths, fighting a prototype Arrancar, getting backstabbed by Aizen, meeting Masaki, giving up his soul reaper powers, and settling in the human world.

Why is Rukia unable to use her Zanpakuto during the Bount arc?
During the Bount arc, Rukia tells Maki she can not use her zanpakuto. Why is this? All of her powers should have returned to her.

So there's two things that may be contributing to this:

Shinigami cannot wield their Zanpakuto while using a Gigai.
Gigai are artificial bodies which Shinigami can inhabit to blend in with humans in the human world or to restore lost spiritual power. While using a Gigai a Shinigami's powers are drastically reduced to help ward off hollows and make blending in easier. To the best of my knowledge Shinigami are always shown to need to exit their Gigai (or in Ichigo's case, his physical body) to equip their Zanpakuto. While in a Gigai Shinigami are capable of Hado which is decent for self-defense but for anything more intensive they need to leave their Gigai and use their spirit form. This is relevant since Rukia does draw her Zanpakuto during this arc but only after being forced out of her Gigai by a Bount while under mind control. This implies she could have drawn her Zanpakuto against Maki but for some reason chose not to. The reason she chose not to may be a feeling it wasn't needed or it may have to do with the second thing, she's still recovering.

Rukia's soul is still damaged due to Aizen ripping the Hogyoku out of her soul at the end of the previous Soul Society arc.
Later on in the arc, Rangiku says that Hisagi told her that Rukia's soul was damaged before and that her soul takes longer to heal than her body. This may be referring to the events of this arc but given Rangiku and Hisagi (who haven't seen Rukia in a while) seem to know about it it seems likely this soul damage is leftover from something prior and Rukia has explicitly had her soul damaged rather recently when Aizen tore the Hogyoku out of her. This could imply that Rukia was ordered to stay in her Gigai to heal and while she could take on her Shinigami form (as she does while mind controlled) it would hamper her recovery.

Note: I've never watched the Bounts arc (I've only read the manga, whereas the Bounts arc was anime-only). I'm using the Bleach Fandom wiki as a primary source, which has citations – but those citations reference episodes which I can't verify without watching, so I may not have the whole picture.

How did the Female Titan cut Eren's titan form?
After she killed the Levi squad, Eren transformed to fight the Female Titan. In Chapter 29, Hammer, it looked like Eren was having the upper hand, but then the Female Titan turned around, and with one horizontal motion, cut Eren's titan form's head in half.
How did that happen? That part wasn't clear in the anime nor the manga. Did she take a tree and smacked him? Did she harden her hand and hit him?

See page 33, Chapter 32, "Compassion" from the manga.
The previous page followed discussion over Annie as a suspect in being the Female Titan. Mikasa asks Eren, having fought the Female Titan, if anything reminded him of Annie at all. Eren then remembers Annie's stance as a parallel to the Female Titan moving from that same stance into her kick.
The stance resembles Annie's style demonstrated in Chapter 17: Illusions of Force
The text is spoken by Mikasa to convince Eren that deep down he knows first hand how close to the similarities are.

Ah! I see! Very good, I missed that! Thank you very much, have my +1 and the accepted answer. Hope to see you more often at the site! :)

Can you explain what happened exactly? Instead of just pointing out to the page? Right now I'm still not 100% convinced that this answer is the best one.

@MadaraUchiha Hopefully, the edit is a bit more informative of what's happening.

Still, there isn't a clear "She kicked his head off" in this answer, add that and the bounty is yours :)

Warning This might contain spoilers.
The move she used to finish Eren was a direct reference to a earlier scene in the anime (this has not been done in th manga as far as I know). At this point in time the viewer does not know Annie is the titan. The fight move used there resembles her fighting moves used during the training. this is one of the clue's beside the face resemblance of the titan to Annie. Some deeper information on this, the move she used is a karate move from the original Kata's. As stated in the video linked she has been trained in martial arts by her father.

As I recall there was an reaction of fist movement (in the anime).
Probably harden her hand and got the tree on the way when cutting his head off.

but she did a kick not a fist hit

Can Sasuke use Tsukuyomi?
The question is based on my theory from the recent manga chapter (Naruto 661):

Sasuke, when stabbed by Madara is the effect of Tsukuyomi from Sasuke.

Now, to prove my theory, is there an episode in manga/anime that Sasuke used Tsukuyomi?

I beleive I have answered your question.....please do check it out ;)

I have got a question..... why do you think it was Tsukiyome from Sasuke?Couldn't it be a normal genjutsu itself? I am questioning you this since Sasuke decomposed his body while he fought against Deidara.....at that point of time he didn't had Itachi's eyes.......

Sasuke can NOT use Tsukuyomi. Just read the talks page at the Naruto wiki. There is a hell lot of confusion among people regarding this. The accepted answer is outdated. The wiki it refers to, has updated its content to show the correct information now.
Go to Tsukuyomi page in Naruto wiki. See the list of users.

Each sharingan - eye can only have one 'special ability', as mentioned below the two Sasuke has are - Amaterasu & the control of the flames of Amaterasu

Short answer
Sasuke can not use Tsukuyomi.

When fighting Kabuto, Sasuke used a regular Sharingan genjutsu on Itachi.
Sasuke's left eye creates Amaterasu, and his right eye manipulates the flames. There is no place for Tsukuyomi.

Long answer
Mostly from a reddit post:
Sasuke does not have the Tsukuyomi. What Sasuke uses is the Sharingan's standard ability to cast genjutsu through eye contact with its "eye of hypnosis". In the past, Sasuke had personally it used on Sai, Orochimaru and Deidara, and we've seen it used by Itachi, Kakashi, Obito and Madara on different occasions. What Sasuke had been doing since Itachi's death was channeling these Sharingan Genjutsu through his Mangekyou Sharingan, which apparently had the effect of amplifying its strength, rendering him capable of instantly incapacitating his opponents.
Sasuke was shown casting genjutsu with one eye of his Mangekyou, like how Itachi cast Tsukuyomi with his left eye (and Amaterasu with his right). But whilst Sasuke typically cast it with his right eye, he had also done it with his left eye. Against C too since he appeared to be holding his left eye, and a third time, if you count his domination of the bijuu.
And even regular Sharingan Genjutsu had been used through a single eye, as demonstrated by Madara and Itachi. Itachi himself used Sharingan Genjutsu with the Mangekyou after his Tsukuyomi eye had been blinded. Madara had done the same.
Sasuke has never once called his genjutsu, Tsukuyomi. Both Danzo and Tobi compared it to Itachi's Tsukuyomi - which was understandable since they're brothers and both had used Amaterasu and Susanoo - but neither of them actually called it Tsukuyomi. Only twice had Sasuke "named" it where he called it "Sharingan" and "Genjutsu - Sharingan" respectively (just like Madara). When he called it "Genjutsu - Sharingan", the difference is also made explicit by showing it side-by-side with Itachi's Tsukuyomi.
Tobi implied that Sasuke had received Itachi's eye techniques, but Itachi had only sealed a single use of the Amaterasu inside Sasuke with the Transcription Seal: Amaterasu which Sasuke had no actual control over. From what I've heard, it came from a misunderstanding over how the Japanese language doesn't differentiate between singular and plural. And when the jutsu was unsealed, his eye transformed into Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan temporarily. So if Sasuke used a Tsukuyomi (or another Amaterasu) from Itachi, his eyes would have changed to show it.
The genjutsu Sasuke used against B (when he still had to implant Itachi's eyes) resembles the Tsukuyomi with its inverted colours, but this was also the only time it happened. Every other time we saw the genjutsu itself, it didn't have that visual effect. It was also said by Itachi and the second databook that the Tsukuyomi can only be broken by his own blood (presumably someone of the Uchiha bloodline with a powerful Sharingan), which we later saw proven and explained. Yet B was essentially freed with just a genjutsu dispel.
Ultimately, Sasuke only has Amaterasu, Kagutsuchi and Susanoo with his Mangekyou Sharingan. Amaterasu was first used with his left eye against Killer B. Kagutsuchi was used to quell the flames and then used and named it against the Raikage where he shaped the black flames and dubbed it "Enton: Kagutsuchi". The most blatant evidence of these two being his Mangekyou jutsu is when he fought Kaguya and freed himself from ice using both of his eyes.
Even after Sasuke took Itachi's eyes to awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he has never revealed the Tsukuyomi. You can implant the Mangekyou Sharingan and use the abilities of the original holder (e.g. Kakashi using Kamui or Danzo using Kotoamatsukami), but when those eyes are used to evolve to the next stage, it instead empowers their own abilities from what we've seen. Or at least removes the drawbacks.
Once the third databook stated that you would need Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi to awaken the Susanoo, but the above tells us that this is outdated information. If anything, I'd believe that Kishimoto had originally intended to give Sasuke the same jutsu as his brother (with different preferences, perhaps) but decided otherwise at crunch time. As far as we know, the only character with the Tsukuyomi is Uchiha Itachi.
Also, the current revision of Tsukuyomi from Naruto Wiki shows only Itachi Uchiha under the list of users.

@Downvoters You guys should bring in evidence and argue for your point. This only shows your ignorance of the manga.

I'm not the downvoter, but I think it is a kneejerk reaction at you saying the proof is Naruto Wiki. Can you add some headings or bold to highlight different sections in your answer?

Look at my edited post below.

@AmanSingh There are too many flaws in your statement. You're assuming that Sasuke used a simple illusion versus Tsukuyomi in the Danzou fight. There is no proof of this. Your logic also doesn't make sense when you reason that Sasuke should have 3 MS techniques in the event that Tsukuyomi transfers over. Shisui's eyes came with Shisui's techniques. Same for Obito's eyes. How could you prove otherwise for Itachi's eyes? You simply can't, therefore there is no real substance behind your idea. Claiming he used normal genjutsus because he never explicitly said Tsukuyomi does not prove him unable

Also, you should cite your answers when you directly copy and paste them from other sources.

@krikara Sure. Added the ref.

@krikara Let me tell you something about a little thing called the burden of proof. Suppose you say there is a god, the burden of proof is on you. You have to prove it explicitly, by citing evidence. You CAN NOT say that since I can not show otherwise, therefore god has to exist. Similarly, in this case, you have to show me explicit evidence from the manga showing me Sasuke saying the words "Tsukuyomi", or atleast using it to manipulate time in someone's mind. I am not assuming that Sasuke is using a normal genjutsu,

@krikara You can not say that "Since nothing in manga proves him to be unable, therefore he has to be able". Its not logical. There is simply no reason to believe that he has used Tsukuyomi here or anywhere else. Given the scenes from this fight (and EVERY fight he was in), it is a reasonable deduction that he wasn't using Tsukuyomi, based on the very apparent fact, as I have countless times: "Tsukuyomi has to manipulate time in the victim's mind". YOU have the burden of proof. I am merely stating that whatever "evidence" you presented, was inconclusive in this matter. That's all.

@AmanSingh I already have the proof. He has Itachi's eyes. Like Madara's Rinnegan, Shisui's Sharingan, and Obito's Sharingan, they all retained their powers when transferred to another user (Pain, Danzou, and Kakashi respectively). Prove that Itachi's ocular abilities are not bound to his eyes unlike all the others.

@krikara If you had read my comments completely, I had explained it plainly and in detail, that the manga does not give us any more details regarding MS transfer. Only 2 kinds of transfers have happened: 1) Both the eyes have same power, and used by non-Uchiha (both Obito and Shisui) 2) Both eyes have different powers and used by sibling (2 cases, only Itachi's case is useful, as we don't know what powers Madara or Izuna had before and after the  MS transfer). Read the whole theory and reason behind it my comments to your answer.

Let us continue this discussion in chat.

I believe Sasuke did use Tsukuyomi while he fought against Hachibi. Bee was immobilized for a moment

As per the definition of Tsukuyomi in wiki it states that:

Tsukuyomi is noted to be one of the most powerful genjutsu in existence.It is unique to the Uchiha clan and only those who have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan can perform it. It is said to represent the "Spiritual World and Darkness" (精神界と闇, Seishinkai to Yami), the antipode to Amaterasu — a ninjutsu of similar power.

The wiki also states the disadvantages of the technique:

Such a powerful technique is not without its disadvantages however. Due to the complexity of the illusion and the quickness with which it is executed, an enormous amount of chakra is necessary and an added amount of stress is placed on the left eye, leaving Itachi's vision more blurred. Before using it on Kakashi in Part I, Itachi stated that Tsukuyomi can only be broken by a Sharingan user that shares the same blood as him; as demonstrated when Sasuke overcame Itachi's Tsukuyomi in their battle.

Itachi casting Tsukuyomi on Kakashi

Both Sasuke and Itachi had to go through a lot of pain while casting it. It consumed a lot of their chakra. Obvious disadvantages were blurred vision after use.
And last but not the least, the wiki also states that:

Sasuke can also perform Tsukuyomi with his right eye, though his illusion is considered inferior to Itachi's Tsukuyomi since it does not alter the opponent's perception of time indicating he has yet to master it

In the wiki page, it also states that the users who can cast Tsukuyomi are:

Uchiha Itachi
Uchiha Sasuke
Uchiha Madara
Uchiha Obito [in movie]

Reference

Tsukuyomi

Do you have a proof that he uses Tsukuyomi?

@NaraShikamaru hope i have provided enough proof now!!!!!!

Ok. Got it!..:)

Note that the wiki now only list Uchiha Itachi as the single user of this technique.

Yes, he can.
Besides everything else that has been pointed out on other answers here trying to prove that Sasuke can use the Tsukuyomi, I'd just like to point out a piece of information that comes straight from Naruto: The Official Character Databook, pointed out in this answer and in this one before it:

Amaterasu, "representing the light of the material world", is performed with the right eye.
Tsukuyomi, "the nightmare realm, representing the world of the mind and darkness", is performed with the left eye.
Susano'o is "the strength of the tempestuous force that resides only within those of have mastered" both of the above techniques.

Notice that you have to master both Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi in order to be able to perform Susano'o. This means that Indra, Itachi, Madara, Kakashi and Sasuke must be able to perform both Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi - even if we haven't seen them doing it ever - since they all can use Susano'o.
Either that, or the official databook has incorrect data. Aman Singh's answer is also very compelling, and makes some good points.

There is this part in the Naruto wiki: In the third databook, Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu were stated to be requirements for unlocking Susanoo. However, Sasuke instead defined Susanoo as the third power granted to users of the Double Mangekyō, and Sasuke's explanation was once again verified by Kakashi's usage of the technique. http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Susanoo

I can't remember exactly, but when Itachi (Edo Tensei) and Sasuke battled Kabuto in the cave, they were trapped at the same time in a genjutsu. They undid it by using genjutsu on each other. I'm sure that Itachi used Tsukuyomi, but I'm not sure if Sasuke's genjutsu was a normal one or a Tsukuyomi. However, I'm sure that Itachi used Tsukuyomi at least once when he fought Danzo...
By the way, it's a fact that you must be able to use Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi to achieve Susano'o, so the answer for your question is yes, Sasuke can use Tsukuyomi for sure.

EDIT: It's really simple to be quite honest. Sasuke has Itachi's eyes. Itachi's eyes are capable of using of Tsukuyomi. Therefore Sasuke can use Tsukuyomi.
This stays consistent with the rest of the manga, for example how people can take the Rinnegan and use it for themselves like Tobi x Pain. Danzou took Shisui's eyes and then used Shisui's MS power for himself as well.

Here is the proof that Sasuke actually used Tsukuyomi.
Recall the fight versus Danzou. Sasuke casted Tsukuyomi on Danzou and Danzou proceeds to comment on it.

As for your theory, there is one easy criteria you can use for confirmation. Techniques like Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi cause excessive eye strain, which leads into bleeding. When Sasuke used Amaterasu on Madara, his eyes also bled. When Sasuke stabbed the sword through Madara, there were no signs of bleeding, and therefore we can determine he did not use Tsukuyomi there.

I can't believe people still don't get it. Where have you seen Sasuke manipulate time in Danzou's mind (That is what Tsukuyomi does you know)? That genjutsu was a simple iluusion to test whether Danzou can be put into genjutsu or not, as Tobi himself said later. And where exactly has Danzou said that Sasuke used Tsukuyomi? He is comparing that pathetic little genjutsu to Itachi's Tsukuyomi. That's all.
BTW, having his brother's eyes does not guarantee Tsukuyomi at all. If that were the case, Sasuke would have 3 MS techniques! (Amaterasu, Enton Kagutsuchi, and Tsukuyomi).

Also, since we don't have enough instances of Sharingans being transplanted with their powers known, we can't say exactly what happens in each case. E.g. if both the MS of a user have same power (Like Shisui and Obito, it seems whoever gets the eye, gets the power as well (like Itachi and Danzou (from Shisui), and Madara himself from Obito). In case there are two powers, there has only been the case of Itachi, and we haven't EVER seen Sasuke use Tsukuyomi on ANYONE (except ofcourse channeling his genjustu through his MS to amplify its power). Only Amaterasu, and his own Enton.

All in all, the only conclusion that we can draw from manga is, "Anyone who acquires someone else MS, gets only one of their eye's power". There is no evidence to deny this, and it does explain all the MS transplants.

@AmanSingh That's easily disproven. Kakashi had used both of Obito's eyes and had both powers. Your claim is only your assumption.

What "both" powers? Obito's MS had only one power.

Even if it were the case that Sasuke got Tsukuyomi from Itachi's eyes, he shouldn't be able to use that here, as the transplant happened later on, and the technique that Itachi taught to Sasuke's MS was just Amaterasu, and that too was not under control of Sasuke at the time.

Sasuke definitely CAN'T use Tsukuyomi!
It's a manga/anime! That means it follows some rules. If Sasuke were able to use Tsukuyomi, then the technique would be introduced properly, like when they introduced Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi.
However, Sasuke didn't say "Tsukuyomi" even once (!!!) in the whole manga! Why did he always scream "Amaterasu" and "Kagutsuchi", but not "Tsukuyomi" even once?! It doesn't make any sense!
Furthermore, every Uchiha has one technique in each eye.
It's clearly said that one of his eyes has Amaterasu, and the other one has Enton: Kagutsuchi.
There is no place for Tsukuyomi!
(For Susanoo you need both eyes' powers, but it doesn't matter if it's Amaterasu and Enton Kagutsuchi or Tsukuyomi)

Please refer to http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Blaze_Release:_Kagutsuchi

Sasuke can't use Tsukuyomi, it's just a manga and anime fact.
The user of the MS must awaken the abilities of both eyes to achieve the Susano'o, it isn't specifically Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi. Also, Sasuke can use genjutsu..but not the Tsukuyomi. With his left eye, Sasuke can cast Amaterasu, with his right he can shape and manipulate the flames. Those are his two abilities, Tsukuyomi has no spot.
In the Manga, Sasuke states that Susano'o can only be awakened when someone awakens both powers in their eyes, Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu belong to Itachi only. As a parting gift, Itachi gave Sasuke the Amaterasu.

Sasuke can't use it, and if he had used it on Danzo and Killer Bee, they wouldn't have been able to escape it without Sasuke releasing them from it.
Itachi states that only someone with Uchiha genetics and the Sharingan can undo the Tsukuyomi. This is a manga fact, meaning Sasuke never used Tsukuyomi. Sasuke may have Itachi's eyes, but it's never been stated that the abilities of the eyes are transferred through the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Seeing as though Madara is the only other person with the EMS, and the fact that he has no unique Mangekyo abilities, proves that abilities really aren't transferred through the EMS.
The Tsukuyomi is only used by Itachi, stop making up theories because it seems possible.

How to read manga in non-aligned format?
I commonly see the following layout below in Naruto.
+-------------+-----+
|             |     |
|             |     |
|             |     |
+-------------+     |
|             |     |
|             +-----+
|             |     |
+-------------+     |
|             |     |
|             |     |
|             |     |
+-------------+-----+

I'm aware that manga is commonly read from right to left. As of now, I assume the following flow:
+-------------+-----+
|             |     |
|     2       |  1  |
|             |     |
+-------------+     |
|             |     |

|             |     |
+-------------+     |
|             |  4  |
|     5       |     |
|             |     |
+-------------+-----+

Is this the right way to read this layout?

See: http://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/4573/how-do-i-read-manga-with-multiple-panes/4578#4578. The accepted answer should answer your question.

When reading manga, when the right side panels don't align perfectly with the left i would continue to read down so given this case i would read panel 4 before going to 2, it makes sense to me as 1 leads into 4 rather than 1 leading into 2 and 3 at the same time (since the bottom of 1 is half way down 3)

@Memor-X makes sense. Anyway, I just default to your suggestion and try another order, just as kuwaly suggested if your suggestion doesn't make sense. Thanks!

Can you provide an example of one of such pages? It's easier to figure out the flow once you understand the context.

The manga is Naruto, there is no manga called Naruto Shippuden.

@Happy I see, if I'm not mistaken, Naruto Shippuden is the anime adoption of the part 2 of the manga Naruto. Thanks for the correction.

Yeah, the 85 consecutive filler episodes before the time skip caused the TV show ratings to drop so low, that they realised that a change in name was needed to get people back on to the show. If they had continued the series with the same name, most people would think it is the same garbage going on. :)

@Krazer I'm speaking in general, though I'll provide two examples to see how you'll read these. Neji death and Naruto 647: Regrets, page 18

Why did Hotaru stay with Fujiwara?
In the anime NTR: Netsuzou Trap, why did Hotaru stay with Fujiwara, who was a total jerk? He abused her, physically and probably emotionally. He even used her in a way! So why did Hotaru continue to date Fujiwara until she and Yuma got together?

The answer most likely lies in the cycle of abuse.
Hotaru and Fujiwara did not have a healthy relationship founded in mutual respect to begin with. Fujiwara hates women and only uses them for gratification. And Hotaru's real feelings are for Yuma rather than Fujiwara. As per Rebecca Silverman's review on Anime News Network,

there's a strong implication that [Hotaru] has been dating boys and sleeping with them as a way to get over Yuma, or at least keep her feelings at bay, and that she might have a reputation for sleeping around [and she] could simply be masking her feelings [for Yuma] in order to protect [Yuma].

Hotaru and Fujiwara's relationship seems to be entirely centered around a superficial agreement to fulfill each other's sexual desires. Sexual desire is a biological drive in sexually reproducing organisms to engage in reproductive acts due to the pleasure associated with them. Such behavior can be addictive, and thus why these two might feel the need to have this arrangement. See this Wikipedia article for more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_desire.
Which finally brings us to the cycle of abuse. In spite of Fujiwara's abuse, Hotaru stays with him. She pretends everything is fine or that it's not a big deal. This is typical behavior of abuse victims caught in the cycle of abuse. It is rational to leave the relationship, but in actuality, it isn't so easy due to being stuck in this cycle. See this review for some commentary on the cycle of abuse with relation to this story: https://web.archive.org/web/20171113094700/http://www.anime-now.com/entry/2017/07/29/050013
In line with this cycle of abuse, it's also important to note that Fujiwara has a manipulative and controlling personality and is willing to threaten and blackmail Hotaru and Yuma, and thus fear of repercussions would be another reason Hotaru stays with him.
In Hotaru's case, she most likely feels like she has to pretend everything is alright because she's suppressing her feelings for Yuma.
And lastly, Hotaru's feelings being for another girl could be a factor. Due to discrimination against the LGBTQ community and societal pressure to conform, there have been cases in real life where such individuals have suppressed their true feelings and married people of the opposite gender to themselves. As here: https://www.psychotherapynetworker.org/article/gay-man-straight-marriage/
Also see this Wikipedia article on such matters, which states:

Early research by Michael M. Ross in the 1970s and 1980s on gay men who married women found that their reasons most often had to do with social expectancy, as a defense against being perceived as gay, or due to internalized homophobia.

In Hotaru's case, her suppression likely has less to do with societal pressure and more to do with believing Yuma either wouldn't or shouldn't return her feelings.
So, Hotaru is caught in the cycle of abuse and feeling stuck denying her true sexual orientation makes it even harder for her to get out; due to her feeling an excessive need to suppress those feelings, she is compelled to pretend that everything is fine even when it isn't.

Oh, wow, thanks. That makes a lot of sense, especially with your evidence!

Why is there more than one version of Luffy reuniting with Sabo?
In episode 663 of One Piece, the version I see almost exclusively now has Luffy recognising Sabo once he removes his hat. But, in the (I think) original version, Sabo and Luffy have a conversation which includes Sabo asking if Luffy thinks he wouldn't be able to recognise his brother because he's in disguise.
Why does the variation exist, and is the entire episode of the 'original' still available somewhere?
YouTube videos of the version I see now and the version I am referring to.

The scene that cuts to the exterior right after Luffy's expression of shock is from One Piece episode 663 "Luffy Astonished - The Man Who Inherits Ace's Will" and it's a real-time portrayal of the events; the one with the rest of the conversation is Sabo's account to Zoro, Robin and Franky and it's from later on in One Piece episode 738 "The Brothers' Bond - The Untold Story Behind Luffy and Sabo's Reunion".
For the most part this is consistent with the recount of the same meeting in manga chapters 731 and 794, although in chapter 731 the conversation is seen from Bartolomeo's point of vew, who can't hear it. So we may say that the dialogue in episode 663 is an addition to the manga.
Both episodes are available in the current commercial outlets.
