Did the fake shogun agree to be killed by Hattori Zenzou?
In an episode of the 2015 series IIRC, Hattori Zenzou kills a fake double shogun to save shogun Tokugawa Shige Shige. Did this double agree to give his life to save the real shogun or did Hattori Zenzou killed him without his permission?

The double was Kagemaru, and he was fully prepared to die for Shige Shige's sake. In episode 302, he says:

"I, Kagemaru, wouldn't be here if he(Shige Shige) hadn't saved my life
  back then. Use it for his sake".

So yeah Hattori and Kagemaru were both in on the plan.

Did Hijikata and Kondo kill Oboro?
IIRC in the Farewell Shinsengumi arc Hijikata and Kondo attack Oboro and it seems they killed him. Later we see Oboro alive, which would make you assume he wasnt dead but wounded, but later Utsuro when he sees Oboro coughing blood tells him that if he keeps dying (or something like that) even he would die. Did Kondo and Hijikata kill Oboro and he resurrected kinda like Utusuro did when Gintoki chopped his head, or was Oboro just wounded and he never died of Hijikata and Kondo attack?

The fight you mention happens in episode 315. Hijikata slashes at Oboro's lower right abdomen and Kondo cuts at his left arm, and we see Oboro fall down. These are not necessarily fatal wounds, plus if you add the fact the Oboro has some of Utsuro's immortal blood inside him, it's actually probable that Oboro survived after that fight. He only dies later on in his final fight with Takasugi.

Does the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga where Moro appears take place after or before the Dragon Ball Super Broly movie?
So a new arc of the Dragon Ball Super manga started called the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga , and a new villain appears called Moro. In both this manga arc and in Dragon Ball Super Broly, Goku lost the hability of turning into Ultra Instinct (actually, he never mastered the transformation at will) so it's difficult to know if it happens after or before the Broly movie. Does the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga where Moro appears take place after or before the Dragon Ball Super Broly movie?

It is set after DBS Broly. There is a short summary of the same at the end of, Manga Chapter 42, where there is an image of Super Saiyan Broly fighting Mastered Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Vegeta. Since this arc was released before the movie, it obviously doesn't go into details to avoid spoilers.I have included a colored picture of the same below.

How useful is dragonball saiyan armor?
I was wondering if there are any specific details about how much damage Saiyan armor can absorb?

I believe the armor is worn more as a uniform and possibly a form of attire allowing Saiyans to fight comfortably rather than the aspect of protection simply because, their abnormal levels strength would be too difficult to provide protection from with armor comfortable enough to wear and fight in If you were to consider Vegeta who still wears armor, it is obvious he doesn't wear the armor for protection based on his level of strength and the kind of enemies he fights. Hence, it can be considered to be more like a uniform instead of something worn for the purpose of protection.  I do understand that Vegeta has been a Saiyan Elite and he is absurdly strong at the present and a regular Saiyan's strength is significantly lesser in comparison. If you were to rewatch the Sayan Saga, this particular scene here, we see a Simple Slice of a sword from someone as weak as Yajirobe, strong enough to penetrate through Vegeta's armor and hurt him.Saiyans are a naturally aggressive warrior race primarily focused on battle and striving to be the strongest in the Universe and I personally believe wearing the armor seems more as an outfit choice rather than focusing too much on the aspect of the protection it provides.

Which is the timeline where Vegeks Xeno appear?
I was reading the Super Dragon Ball Heroes manga and it was more or less similar to the anime until chapter #3. There,

 Vegeta fights with Cell and after defeats him, he's attacked by a "demon god", knocking him out and forcing Trunks to use potara rings to fuse with him into Vegeks Xeno

Which is the timeline where this Vegeks Xeno appear?

It is an alternate timeline of the Age 767. This is basically the year when all the events involving the Androids and the Cell Games take place.

Who is the demon who saved Cell from being killed from Vegeta?
In chapter #4 of the Super Dragon Ball Heroes manga a demon with a hammer appears and saves Cell from being killed by Vegeta. Who is this demon?

The character you're referring to is Gravy, one of the strongest wizards during the foundation of the dark realm. He was a wizard in the Heavenly Realm. He basically joins Demigara and Putine to Fight against Chronoa(The Supreme Kai of time).

Can an EVA kill it's pilot through harm caused during battle?
One of the big flaws in the EVA Systems is the issue of the EVA's nervous system connecting and interacting with the nervous system of the pilot. During the manga and the anime, it is shown time and time again that the injuries incurred to the EVA during combat are transferred to the pilot as well, a good example being Zeruel blasting EVA Unit 01's hand off, and Shinji feeling the pain of said action.
Now, this got me thinking, obviously the amount of pain endured would send any normal person in shock, due to multiple factors, like blood loss and outright "pain". If an EVA is seriously damaged during a battle, wouldn't the shock of the "pain and injuries" be enough to kill the pilot?
A very graphic example is Asuka and EVA Unit 02 vs the Mass production Evangelion Units, paying close attention to the sheer amount of damage Unit 02 sustained during the battle, being disemboweled and so on, eventually killing the EVA Unit.

After doing some reading on the Evangelion Wikis, I stumbled upon an article that answers this question.
An Evangelion can kill it's pilot with shock from the injuries, and therefore Central Command has to watch the sync rate between the pilot and the Unit to ensure that the pilot does not die during combat, as was nearly the case with Unit 02 and Asuka vs Zeruel.

Does super saiyan blue evolution exist in Dragon Ball Heroes?
As we know, super saiyan blue evolution was a Dragon Ball Super anime-only creation. It didnt appear in the Dragon Ball Super manga or in the Dragon Ball Super Broly movie. But what about Dragon Ball Heroes? In Dragon Ball Heroes exists other Dragon Ball Super anime-only creations such as the super saiyan blue kaioken. Does the super saiyan blue evolution transformation exist in any of the versions of Dragon Ball Heroes?

Yes. The form makes an appearence and is named in Dragon Ball Heroes, Universe Mission 1 (UM1)

Is there a non OVA version of season 2 of Strike the Blood?
The first season of the Strike the Blood anime has 24 episodes. For the second season I found an OVA version of 8 episodes. Is there a larger regular anime series of the second season with 24 episodes or so like the first season, or is this 8 episodes OVA version all there is for the second season?

Looks like that is all there is for the 2nd season, with only 8 OVA episodes. The MAL page does not include any alternative versions or episodes for the 2nd season other than those. The 3rd season is also similar; OVA version with 10 episodes.

Dragonball Z - Rule for dragonballs
This may be a question that can't be answered but I figured it may be a little fun to try anyways. I know the rules that are established about the dragonballs:

1 (original earth) /2 (later on earth) /3 wishes (Namek) depending on which version you have.
Wish can't exceed the creator's power
If the earth dragonballs then can't make the same wish twice

So in rewatching the series with my wife recently, when they are on Namek she asked if they could just take the balls into space to hide them which is a great question IMO. Freiza, or Vegeta for that matter, could have just parked their space ship floating over Namek or on some moon or close by planet and had it come get them every so often to deposit found dragon balls, or in Freiza's case where he doesn't need air to breathe he could just fly away with them.
So are there any rules about the dragon balls leaving the planet to which they were created on? Would they turn to stone? Would they just not work?

You made a small mistake, with regard to the rules of the earth's Dragon Balls, they can be used to grant up to 3 wishes. However, if one of the wishes involves reviving a large number of people, it can only be used to grant up to 2 wishes.With regard to your main question, as to whether the Dragon Balls would work on another planet, the answer is Yes, at least in case of the Namekian Dragon Balls. We know this because they were used to revive Krillin, Yamcha, Tien and Chiaotzu on earth which you can see here.Hence, to answer your wife's question. Yes! It would've been certainly possible. However, there are reasons why that wouldn't work with the narrativeThe first is Frieza's character. Frieza was considered to one of the strongest fighter in the Universe. A Universal emperor and it would be very unlike him to take the dragon balls and hide it when he could take it from anyone he pleases simply because of how powerful he was. The Frieza then didn't fear anyone. Although the Frieza in DBS would do something like that, the Frieza in DBZ wouldn't simply because of how strong he was.Now with regard to Vegeta, he began collecting the Namekian Dragon Balls when he heard about Frieza wanting to collect them. So ideally, Vegeta would want to collect the Dragon Balls immediately before Frieza does and make his wish. At the same time, Vegeta had absolutely no intention of confronting Frieza or engage in combat with him. If Vegeta spent time taking every single Dragon Ball he had to another planet, came back and repeated the process, Frieza would've most likely found a Dragon Ball  during this period of time. This would require Vegeta to confront Frieza and engage in battle with him which is something he clearly wanted to avoid at that point in time. So on account of the situation, it would have been impractical for Vegeta to do this fast enough to be able to get all Dragon balls and wish for immortality.

I like this answer. Makes sense to me!

What we know it's that the namekian dragon balls were made by taking pieces from the super dragon balls. The super dragon balls are scattered through universe 6 and universe 7, and they work, so we could assume that since the namekian dragon balls are made of the same material or substance, they would have the same general properties than the namekian dragon balls (granting less powerful wishes though) . So I'd say if they are taking to another planet they still would work just as the super dragon balls do.

Dragonball Z different versions
So as I understand there are four versions of Dragonball Z Anime (correct me if I am wrong with this):

Japanese version / Subtitles in English
Funimation version
Ocean Dub
Dragonball Kai

So I am going through rewatching the episodes with my wife for her first time and am watching a version that seems "less censored" than what I remember watching. There is a lot of blood and swearing, which I am actually ok with as it makes it more realistic in my mind but which version would this be? It would not be the one that played on Toonami I am guessing.
My second question is, plot wise are there any major differences between the uncensored one that I am watching vs the more censored one? I just got to the start of the Freiza Saga and noticed that in the Saiyin Saga for example Gohan never mentioned where he wanted to invite Piccolo to his birthday party. This isn't a huge deal in plot but I was wondering if anyone who has watched both versions noticed anything bigger? I would think more or less that the uncensored version = censored version + a bit more.  One thing that really shocked me is that in the uncensored version, Goku finds out that he transformed into the Ape form and killed his grandpa when he was little, whereas the uncensored never mentions this. This seems to be a huge deal of him finding out or not!
I do notice that the music is quite different as well and IMO the uncensored music is better than I remember. It sounds like a full orchestra performing it each episode.

Firstly, there are several more adaptations of the Dragon Ball Z and not just the four you listed. However, the ones. Since that is not the main question, I won't elaborate on that.
To answer your first question, the Japanese version would indeed be the true shonen series and perhaps what Dragon Ball Z is truly intended to be. Being someone who personally dislikes dubbed versions, the Funimation dub is indeed very good and Bruce Faulconer's tracks make it an overall amazing experience. The Funimation dub that aired on Television was obviously heavily censored, however uncensored versions of the dub(Visually) have been released, however in terms of the script, there is censorship.With regard to your second question, DBZ Kai is different from the main version as it tends to remove filler episodes. Although, as far as Plot goes, there isn't any significant difference. With reference to Goku finding about Gohan, it wasn't really Censored. What is censored is mainly nudity, violence,  and random instances like these for example:

The word "HELL" is replaced with "HFIL". Gohan's tears have been removed to make it seem like "Less of a Kidnapping". You can look at a list of censorship in the series here.

So really as I understand it (more or less) went Japanese version > Ocean dub (having the same plot just translated) > and then Funimation which had censorship for Toonami > then to Dragonball Kai? I think the Funimaion version is the version that aired on Toonami right?

@EricF No. The Dragon Ball Z Funimation version that aired on Toonami was heavily censored. Then they released an uncensored version which is the dub I recommend you watch(if you're watching the dub). I personally dislike the Ocean Dub. DBZ Kai is also worth watching. However, the filler episodes have been removed from the same(So it comes down to personal preference).

Can Himawari awake Tenseigan?
Himawari is daughter of hinata and naruto. Is it possible to awake tenseigan? In fact she awoke Byakugan without practise, Yeah I know it does not have any sense but ...

It will not be possible for Himawari to awaken the Tenseigan on her own. This is because the only way to awaken the Tenseigan

is by combining Hamura's descendants chakra (within the Otsutsuki Clan) with the Byakugan (the Chakra of the Hyuga Clan).

Naruto is an Uzumaki, a clan that is closely related to the Senju Clan, and so he already possessed a bit of Hagoromo's Chakra (also being a reincarnation of Asura). However, that is not the same as Hamura's Chakra.
Note that Hagoromo is the first twin who possesed the Rinnengan, while Hamura possessed the Tenseigan and through blood line dilution, Hagoromo's two children inherited separately, his chakra and a lesser version of his eyes, which could be combined together to give his Original eyes. The same thing occurred with his younger twin.)

There's also the concept of "pure Byakugan", which was Toneri's preferred choice for awakening his Tenseigan (for unspecified reasons), since Hinata married outside the Huyga clan, her children can not be considered as pure  Hyugas and the same goes for their eyes.

Did Miki really never bully Shoko?
When Shoya confronts Miki in the story to ask whether she told anyone about him bullying Shoko, Miki makes the claim that she never once badmouthed Shoko, and that she always told Shoya to stop. Miki is portrayed as manipulative, but Shoya also admits that he might not remember things correctly:

Miki is right... I probably altered my memories to make myself feel better. (Volume 5, page 112)

Could this be a case of an unreliable narrator? Can Miki's claim be validated?

Points For Miki:
Having reread the first volume, Miki's claim actually does have a great deal of credence. She is often seen helping Shoko, informing her on page 80 when the teacher calls on Shoko, and showing her which question the teacher asked on page 69. Bonus points for copying the homework assignment for Naoka when Shoko's questioning caused her to miss what the teacher said (this helps Shoko, albeit indirectly). Additionally Miki does, in fact, tell Shoya to knock it off several times:

Stop goofing off, boys! (Volume 1, page 100, after Shoya dumps a dustpan on Shoko outside)

This happens after Shoya dumps a dustpan on Shoko, who is outside the window.

See? I told you to knock it off! (Volume 1, Page 106)

Miki says this after Shoya injures Shoko by pulling on her hearing aid apparatus. Notably, her alleged first call to "knock it off" is suspiciously missing from the narrative.
Miki also attempts to shield Shoko from harm in several instances. First, when Naoka rudely asks Shoko whether she can speak Japanese, Miki says,

Haha... That's not a nice way to put it. (Volume 1, page 73)

When Shoko asks for clarification for what Naoka said, Miki writes in Shoko's notebook, changing the question to "Do you have a nickname?"
Second, Miki is present when Shoko sees the mean messages written on the chalkboard by Shoya and friends. It's unclear if the message is actually communicated to Shoko since she's deaf, but Miki says,

It's awful, isn't it? I mean, really...(Volume 1, page 97)

In cases where her friends are badmouthing Shoko, it is actually true that Miki does not participate. Rather, she gives diplomatic replies, such as "I know, right?" and "I know what you mean." (Volume 1, pages 105 and 80). She acknowledges her friends' grievances against Shoko, but does not levy any of her own.
Shoya is also shown to be, to a degree, oblivious to the people around him, lending credence to the idea that he might not be the most reliable narrator. When he's doing his daredevil stunts, his two friends show a declining interest in continuing, but Shoya doesn't notice, and it hits him like a brick wall when they outright tell him they don't want to keep jumping off bridges. In high school, he puts mental X's over everyone's faces, further showing that he doesn't pay attention to other people. Since the first volume is almost entirely told from Shoya's perspective, a case might be made that any memories in the narrative he has of Miki being mean to Shoko are fabricated or exaggerated. Thus one wonders whether Shoya's claim on Volume 1, page 124 can be trusted:

And if you count insults, the girls badmouthed her more than anyone! Especially Miki and Naoka!

Naoka, certainly. But Shoya may just be lumping Miki in because she was part of the conversation.
Points Against Miki:
Probably the most damaging point against Miki is her friendship with Naoka, who is definitively known to have bullied Shoko. In spite of this, Miki defends Naoka to the teacher, saying Naoka did more than anyone to keep Shoya in line on page 123. It is possible that Miki just willfully looked the other way when Naoka was bullying Shoko, or, less likely, that she was unaware of the worse offenses Naoka perpetrated. But her strong association with Naoka does lead credence to the idea that she also badmouthed Shoko, even if there is no instance in the manga of this happening.
Secondly, Miki may have been present at the aforementioned blackboard incident when Shoya and friends were writing the messages. On page 95, there is a panel showing the legs of several characters. One pair of socks does resemble Miki's. If so, then this quote would be attributed to her:

When you get in trouble, I had nothing to do with this! (Volume 1, page 95)

She seems to be trying to discourage them, so it's unlikely she took part directly. On the other hand, this means she could have erased the messages before Shoko saw them.
Thirdly, Miki laughed at the Shoya's joke on page 102 about Shoko being deaf because they forgot to write the sutras on her ears. Initially, she does give Shoya a disapproving look, but after the teacher laughs, she laughs too. She even contributes clarification on the joke, saying, "Hoichi the Earless?", and thus giving it her stamp of approval (in her defense, as an honor student, she likely couldn't resist classical/literary allusions).
Conclusion:
I suspect that Miki really was doing her best to help Shoko. Her classmates did have legitimate grievances against Shoko, so Miki likely didn't know what to do or who to side with as the class turned increasingly hostile. She didn't stick out her neck for Shoko, so as to keep a target from being put on her, but she did her best to moderate in an impossible situation that could not be handled by children. However, there is a great deal of ambiguity to the character in the story, and I invite everyone to review the character's words and actions and come to their own conclusion.
New Information
From an author interview I read in the first volume of the collector's edition (emphasis mine):

Does Kawai take her glasses off [and cry when Shoya accuses her] because she knows she's cute?
Oima: It's a natural gesture. Kawai-san is not that calculating. I'll say this because I want it to be clear: The tears she cries are also 100% pure.

Though it's not canonical to the main story, in the second one-shot, Miki can be seen helping Shoko sing during the choir concert contest. She's holding her hand and giving her some kind of signals. A commentator says:

The girl next to her is showing her which way to adjust her pitch.

Then, when Naoka yells at Shoko and gets a response, and then everyone is badmouthing Shoko by saying she can actually hear, Miki gives a more neutral response:

Well, my mom said she must be wearing a device that lets her hear.

Miki also looks more horrified than anyone when Shoya hits Shoko and causes her to bleed (page 681 in collector's edition, though Miki's drawn kind of strangely). She does wear a smile while the group is leaving Shoya after pushing him in the pond, but this isn't a question about whether Miki bullied Shoya.
The scene where Shoya accuses Miki and Naoka is present in both one-shots as well, with some differences. This indicates Miki was probably always meant to play the role she does in the story. The second one-shot version is essentially the same as in the main story (though lacking Miki's "Why can't we all be friends" line, but in the first one-shot, Shoya only says of Miki,

You were laughing with Ueno, too!

This notably lacks the accusation of Miki badmouthing Shoko. Miki doesn't cry here, but looks extremely nervous about the accusation and says to the teacher,

But sir... I'm the class representative. I would never...

In all three versions, Miki denies any wrongdoing on her part, and none of the versions actually show her doing any badmouthing herself.

Very detailed and great evidence! You certainly did your research into this topic :)

miki bullied shoko she defended shoko to make herself look good and laughed with the others. She definitely didn't really do mush to bully her in the was shoya (or the others) did but at the same time she played part in it by laughing with the others and not doing much to stop it, (like when shoya pulled her hearing aid out) she decide to act as if she was the 'good person' in all of it and help her only when she was hurt she is extremely manipulative.

Miki definitely bullied Shoko. Even if it wasn't as direct as the others bullying. Even in the ways Miki "protected" Shoko were all for the glory of Miki. Miki has always been very manipulative, like when she would laugh at the mean jokes the others would make and then turn around do something that's somewhat nice. Or how she obviously was part of the problem, then made it look like it was all Shoyo. Miki definitely bullied Shoko, but just in a slightly different way

Would you provide references to support your argument (ie volume/chapter/page)?

Does Fairy Tail have one main goal / plot, or is it just many separate stories?
Does Fairy Tail have one major plot line that is developed along the hundreds of episodes it has, or does it simply have many "chunks" of unrelated adventures (in blocks of a few episodes)?
For example, in One Piece there is one main "goal", and even though there are several different arcs, there is a clear notion of "progress towards the goal" happening with every arc. Naruto, Boku no Hero Academia and Black Clover also have clear "goals", i.e. there is also a main plot, and the "progress in the plot" is clear after every canon arc, etc.
I started watching Fairy Tail (only watched 15 episodes so far) and so far I couldn't see any "main plot" or "main goal". It seems that they will simply have different adventures, by picking certain quests/missions in the guild, fulfilling the mission, coming back and repeating this loop. Surely they will probably get stronger with time, but this is not the "progress" I'm looking for. Is there a "main goal", "main plot" that gets slowly developed along the hundreds of episodes? Or is it just a collection of loosely-tied adventures (each taking a few episodes each)?
NOTE: Don't say what the main plot is (if it exists) - hide it in a spoiler tag. I just want to know if it exists - and if possible, what is the number of the episode in which this plot becomes clear.

If you are asking whether or not Fairy Tail is episodic, it is very much not. Similar to other Shonen series, it is broken up into a number of story arcs, with the first few being shorter in length and the later ones being much longer.
If watching the anime, there are a lot of extra episodic filler segments scattered between arcs, but those are technically not canon.
In terms of arcs themselves, around Episode 10 more substantial arcs appear (story arcs of at least 10 episodes), starting with Galuna, Phantom Lord, and the Tower of Heaven.
If there is a 'main plot', the first real introductory seeds (Dark Guids + Zeref, etc) are sown in the Oración Seis arc (according to the wiki, starts apx. Episode 52), but it's hard to pinpoint a 'main plot' until much later. There are more lighthearted arcs mixed in between the more serious arcs but generally speaking I'd consider things post-timeskip to be where things settle in on a main plot (albeit in a roundabout manner).
From the Tartaros Arc (Ep. 234) onwards, it's pretty much the 'highest stakes' portion of the series.

By episodic do you mean that each episode is a different story? I don't mean that, not every episode, but every block of 5-10 episodes. If you meant that too, then can you add an approximate episode number in which the fact that it is not episodic gets more clear? Also can you answer explicitly if Fairy Tail has one "goal" / main plot (and include what is it behind a spoiler tag)? Thanks! If you make these improvements I'll accept the answer :)

Unfortunately the last hundred chapters are where I lost interest in the series, and that constitutes an important part of the story. I've edited the question to add more information but I can't exactly phrase the 'main plot' of the series simply because I don't even remember what happened (it's been a few years). I hope my answer is more informative, even if it doesn't completely answer your question.

What shows inspired Sword Art Online?
One of the biggest criticisms I've heard of Sword Art Online is that it's derivative; the "trapped in a video game" plot has been done before, and presumably better, by other anime.  But nobody bothers to mention which anime has done it before. Doing my own research I came across Log Horizon, although it would seem to me that if it were the only one it would get mentioned by name.
So which shows predate Sword Art Online that have the same basic plot?  Has Reki Kawahara ever said that he drew inspiration from a particular show?

Which shows predate Sword Art Online that have the same basic plot? The most similar anime show I could ever find (protagonist trapped in MMORPG world) is .hack//Sign Protagonist wakes up with slight amnesia in MMORPG world and tries to find answers as to what happened to him and why he can't log out of the game. It was released on April 4 2002 (an early version of the first volume of SAO was supposedly made around 2001, .hack//Sign started development in as early as 2000).
There are plenty of other isekai manga, anime and light novel earlier than SAO but I can't seem to find another one that is as close other than .hack//Sign as of now.
Has Reki Kawahara ever said that he drew inspiration from a particular show? It was not directly stated by him but according from a biography of him that I found, it was mentioned that Kawahara liked playing games.

Kawahara would often head to the arcade with his fellow members to play fighting games. He also started playing online games in 1998, starting with Ultima Online. Kawahara also played Ragnarok Online, his most played game (although he stated World of Warcraft during Sakura-Con 2013), and Phantasy Star Online.

From this, we can say that his time playing these games could possibly have an influence to SAO, which is in a similar setting. It was not mentioned that he was influenced by anime shows when he wrote SAO. It was, however, mentioned, on the same biography, that he was inspired by some works when he wrote Accel World.

In 2008, Kawahara decided to write again for the Dengeki Light Novel Award with Kyouzetsu Kasoku Burst Linker. He reapplied because he was inspired by all the works he read from Media Works Inc., such as Tokyo Shadow and Those who Hunt Elves.

How strong is Hatchiyack in Dragon Ball?
IIRC, Hatchiyack in the OVA plan to eradicate the saiyans was able to fight Piccolo, Goku SSJ, Gohan SSJ, Vegeta SSJ and Trunks SSJ? How strong is he supposed to be compared to saiyans now in Dragon Ball Heroes and before in his first appearence?

In the movie, Goku states that he was probably stronger than Broly at full Power (Note: This is with reference to the non-canon iteration of Legendary Super Saiyan Broly).With reference to DBH, in the manga, he is indicated to be stronger than Majin Ozotto. However, in the game, he is indicated to be much stronger and it takes the combined efforts of Majin Ozotto, Future Trunks and Cooler to defeat him

Did Goten and Trunks ever fused using the Potara earrings?
We've seen Goten and Trunks fusing several times using the metamor fusion. But have they ever fused using the Potara earrings? How about in Dragon Ball Heroes? If so, what's the name of the warrior when fusing using Potaras?

The answer would be no. There isn't any Potara based fusion between the two characters eve in Dragon Ball Heroes.There is the Adult Xeno: Gotenks.Atlhough this is far from canon, Goten and Trunks's EX-Fusion from Dragon Ball Fusions EX Gotenks, has a completely different taking after Trunks more than Goten.

No.
There is no need for them to fuse with the Potara earrings since Goten is irrelevant to the franchise. Goten exist just for the purpose of Gotenks. That is all.

Can we say the human race won The Great War in No Game No Life: Zero or Tet won?
In the movie, the human race really tried so hard so that they can win the war but in the final moment, Riku finally summon the Star Cup but unfortunately his both arm were blast off... and then Tet finally show up and give a hand to Riku.
After that, Tet use his power to repair the whole world and made the world calm down for awhile. So basically it was Tet power that made the world peace for awhile but isn't the human race actually contribute more than Tet right?
If Riku didn't plan this, Tet wouldn't come out and help the human race right?

The main aim of Riku was to end the Great War so that they can live in peace. So basically the win condition is achieved at the end of the movie. Thus we can say that the human race won the war because:

Peace achieved.
Human race recognized (as exceed) and given the name Imanity by Tet.

Bonus:
There is a very hot debate about how Riku died and it's not %100 clear. Some even say "Riku actually become Deus before dying and created Tet unconsciously". However, it's pretty obvious that Riku didn't plan anything related to Tet. That's is why there is no clear answer to the question "who".

I understand why you would think that as fused characters tend to be very strong. However, it is certainly possible for even a regular character to be stronger than a fusion. For example, SSJB Goku was holding his own against a Kefla, Base Vegeta beats up SSJ3 Gotenks etcThat said, Jiren's level of power is not an unattainable feat. At least his base power was compared to a God of Destruction and all of the G.O.D are random individuals who have trained to attain their levels of strength. Even Goku achieves a level far beyond when he masters Ultra Instinct. Even Broly was able to reach a level comparable to a G.O.D.Plus, being a fusion would completely contradict Jiren's character. Jiren has been indicated to be a loner who doesn't seek help from anyone and would much rather work by himself on account of his traumatic past. Fusion would imply he's dependent on someone else for his strength. So clearly, the character is not a fusion.

Where is Kurisu Makise really is?
Suzuha was came from year 2036 and she said.

"Okabe-san and Kurisu-san was death at that time (year 2036)"

here at alpha-time

But then i realize that in beginning episode and some episode, Kurisu-san was died because Okabe-san was pretend or her father either stab her in alpha-time.

Both alpha and beta world line tell that Kurisu Makise died at same case.
So, how Suzuha-san said that Kurisu-san in year 2036 still alive? Did i missed something here?

Ok, there will be spoilers for Steins Gate 0 so be sure to watch that before reading this post or just read the overall part.
In Beta timeline Kurisu is dead. The Beta timeline is the timeline we start to watch. Okabe goes to the Alpha timeline where Kurisu still lives. The Alpha timeline is where Mayuri destined to die. This is also the timeline we see the most in OG Steins Gate. All the experiment on D-Mail, stuff like changing the gender of Ruka, done in this timeline and get reverted by Okabe in order to save Mayuri.
In the end, Okabe understands that there is no way to keep Mayuri alive in the Alpha timeline. He goes back to the Beta timeline in order to save Kurisu. He fails once and this is the start of Steins Gate 0. In S;G0 Okabe chooses to stay in this timeline and keep Mayuri save by sacrificing Kurisu so Kurisu is still dead in this timeline. We also saw a small segment in the middle of S;G0 where another version of Okabe chose Kurisu over Mayuri. That is the Alpha line.
So overall:

The alpha timeline is where Kurisu lives and Mayuri dies.
The beta timeline is where Kurisu dies and Mayuri lives.

Because of two distinct timelines, there are actually two different versions of Suzuha.

if i'm not wrong in Steins;Gate: Load Region of Déjà Vu. Suzuha was said there's "R"-timeline. Where Mayuri and Kurisu are both alive, but Okabe was disappeared. Is that true?

Yes the R timeline is very very similar to Steins Gate timeline but due to Reading Steiner, Okabe vanishes in Steins Gate timeline thus creating R timeline.

@GilangRizqi Note that Steins;Gate: Load Region of Déjà Vu is often considered non-canon by fans because it breaks the fundamental "no parallel dimensions" rule that's established in Steins;Gate.

Which chapters of the manga do the season 1 and 2 of the Mob Psycho 100 anime cover?
I'm currently watching Mob Psycho 100, the last episode of season 2 was Mob fighting Keiji Mogami. Which chapters of the manga do the season 1 and 2 of the Mob Psycho 100 anime cover?

"Last" as in "most recent"? Because season 2 is still airing...

The first season covers about the first 6-6.5 volumes. There are 16 volumes in total, so depending on how the stuido planned it second season might or might not adapt the remaining 9.5-10 volumes

Season 1 covers Volume 1 through 6. Season 2 will most likely cover Volume 6 through 13.
Season One ends on Chapter 50 ("No Changes") but also includes an omake chapter ("Romance and Impulse".) at the end of the episode.**
Season Two has covered Chapter 51 through 91.

Why is alchemy powered by tectonic plates?

In the manga, alchemy is said to have been taught to Amestrians over 350 years prior to the start of the series by a mysterious man known as The Philosopher from the East and is explained to harness the diastrophic energy that is released from the movement and collision of tectonic plates deep within the Earth's crust to power transmutation.

I am simply confused between the correlation of tectonic plates and alchemy's power. How does the tectonic plates moving act as the fuel for any non-p.stone transmutations??? Alkahestry's source of power being "chi", or the lifeforce of the earth itself makes perfect sense; so why is alchemy powered by the movement of tectonic plates? That's so random to me.

What kind of an answer are you looking for?  If you are looking for something scientific, you aren't going to get it.  At best, it's because that's what the author chose.

Seriously, the most explanation we ever get is this one panel in chapter 67:

If you're wondering how this manages to do transmutations other than earth based ones, remember, the earth isn't the source of the transmutation itself, just the energy used in it. Just the necessary materials (the equivalent exchange) aren't enough to perform a transmutation. You also need the knowlede of how to rearrange the material to its new form (which is why alchemy isn't more widely used) and the energy to actually do the rearranging.
Amestris' alchemy uses the energy in the ground (previously caused by plate tectonics, currently by... Well, let's not spoil it), while earter alkahestry uses natural chi flows.
How?
Never explaned beyond that one panel, since it's not really important to the story.
Cool action and existential philosophy are.

Will Amaterasu go along with the summoned animal or disappear?
Let's say that some summoned animal is being hit by Amaterasu and the summoning is canceled so that the animal can return to its original dimension.
Will the Amaterasu fire go with the animal to the other dimension and kill it or will the animal be able to escape it by going to its dimension?

i think the flames just drop to the ground but i don't have a source for this assumption.

IIRC, summoning only transports one from one place to another. Unless 1) Summoning removes any ninjutsu cast on the object being transported 2) The amaterasu user removes it, I think it's possible that someone/something who is caught in amaterasu flames will still keep burning, even when returned/transported back to its original dimension. Will try to elaborate on this, unless someone answers first.

Note this is completely different from Obito's Kamui where he warped dimensions.By doing so,he could get rid of the flames.But releasing the summoning jutsu is different from warping dimensions,right?

@GKA "All summoning-based techniques are space–time related, as they warp the targets through a dimensional void to the summoner's location." Source: https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Space–Time_Ninjutsu Kamui and Summoning is not exactly the same, just similar.

Yeah exactly that's my point.

The flames of the Amaterasu are inextinguishable by ordinary means and once any organism is caught in it, they will either have to sacrifice that body part, absorb the  entire Jutsu (if they posses Rinnengan related abilities), or seal the flames away.
In the case of a Snake summon, it could most definitely shed its skin and easily escape the flames of the Amaterasu (which would still be burning the outer skin that it shed). This is evident in the fact that Sasuke was able to escape Itachi's Amaterasu by shedding his skin (a unique ability that he learned from Orochimaru, and Orochimaru learned it in Ryuchi Cave ).
A slug summon like Katsuyu could survive but the damage will be immense, since she's able to rearrange her entire body into smaller slugs, she could detach out the parts that are consumed by the Amaterasu, by turning into a ton of smaller slugs and sacrifice those parts.
Also, If the animal was summoned by a person who posseses the Rinnengan, the summoner could easily absorb the chakra and remove the flames.
As for all other Summoning animals, Unless they have a unique defensive ability to escape the flames, then the Amaterasu will burn it out from existence. Even if the Animal tries to go back to its main habitat, the flames will still continue until nothing exists.

Why was this downvoted? I thought this was a good answer.

I'm guessing its cause i  made a mistake in the habitat of the snakes, its the Ryuuchi cave and not Mount Myoboku

I didn't downvote, and while I agree it is a good answer, my view on it is that a lot of information doesn't directly answer the question. You list countermeasures different summons may have against Amaterasu, but the answer to the question isn't until the final paragraph and feels lost within the text.

Ah i kinda get what you mean @Wondercricket , the point i was trying to make thou, is that even thou the flames won't disappear from undoing the summoning jutsu, the flames won't necessarily kill a summon if it has a countermeasure.

@Wondercricket Hm, you do have a point now that you mention it. Still, I guess there is nothing more that can be said apart from the fact that the flames will go with the summoned animal if and only if it will be hit and if changing/traveling dimensions will not remove any ninjutsu cast on the animal being transported, which is possibly the case, given that there are no other details that will be revealed about summoning.

Using Kamui however, allows a user to escape the Amaterasu @W.Are but then we all know that no summon could ever posses such a powerful time-space ninjutsu

Agreed. Sorry for the confusion. When I said changing/traveling dimensions, I'm referring to the specific method used in summoning animals you have a contract with, apart from Kamui.

Why don't the Shinigami just hang around the human world?
In the first episode, Ryuk makes a point that the Shinigami world is absolutely boring and monotone. Shinigami just spend their days gambling and napping, and just kill the bare minimum to stay alive.
It appears that they can freely traverse to the human world, and back. Which makes me wonder if there is any reason why they'd rather stay in their boring world in the first place.
They can potentially do whatever they want in the human world - is there something that ties them to the Shinigami world? Even if they truly just want to gamble and nap all day, might as well do it in a more interesting world. Hell, Ryuk has shown that it is possible for them to eat (albeit completely unnecessary) and enjoy themselves regardless.

Because it is stated in one of the rules that a god of death or shinigami cannot go to the Human World without any clear or significant reason. As stated here,

The god of death must not stay in the human world without a particular reason. Conditions to stay in the human world are as follows: (Death Note - How to Use It: XXIV)

When the god of death's Death Note is handed to a human.
Essentially, finding a human to pass on the Death Note should be
  done from the world of the gods of death, but if it is within 82 hours this may also be done in the human world.
When a god of death stalks an individual with an intention to kill
  them, as long as it is within 82 hours of haunting them, the god of
  death may stay in the human world.

If these rules or the rest of the other rules not mentioned are violated, then they will be severely punished. That's why Ryuk was hesitant at first when writing the fake rules Light asked him to since he thought it might anger the Shinigami King.

There are laws in the world of gods of death. If a god of death should break the law, there are 9 levels of severity starting at Level 8 and going up to Level 1 plus the Extreme Level. For severity levels above 3 the god of death will be killed after being punished. For example, killing a human without using the Death Note is considered as the Extreme Level. (Death Note - How to Use It: XLVI)

In case you're wondering where these rules are since these might not be in scanlations or unofficial translations, the official English VIZ volumes that I read have them in-between each two chapters.

Did Morel find back his pipe?
I remember Morel and Shaiapouf have a fight and Shaiapouf won the fight and took Morel pipe and threw it somewhere else. *I remember he threw it into the sea if no mistake.
So after the fight did Morel find back his pipe? If he didn't have his pipe that mean he is useless currently right?

Did Morel find back his pipe? As stated in the wiki,

It is unknown if Morel retrieved or replaced it afterwards.

Given where the manga is now, I doubt we'll see if he retrieved it soon since the focus is currently in the expedition to the Dark Continent and the succession war between the princes of the Kakin empire and as far as I know, he isn't in the expedition nor as one of the guards of the princes, unlike the other hunters.
If he didn't have his pipe, that mean he is useless, currently, right? I wouldn't assume that easily since he has other sets of abilities aside from those that requires the use of his giant pipe. Also, the pipe isn't anything special or that can only be made via certain means so he can easily find a replacement, or find the one who originally made his first pipe, although as to who made his pipe originally is currently also unknown.

wait so currently the manga is on going right now?

@kit The manga is currently at Chapter 390, which is the succession arc that I described. I believed it stopped last year, although I hope it continues soon.

In universe 7 saiyans need a tale to turn into Oozarus. How about universe 6 saiyans? Do they have this transformation? Can Kyabe, Kale, Caulifla, kefura turn into Oozaru?

Saiyan's from Universe 6 do not possess tails on account of the evolution process in their Universe. Cabba has no idea of it in the anime when Goku questions Cabba with regard to the same. Also, in the Manga Cabba knew of the tails and how they evolved past itSo technically, they wouldn't be able to turn into Oozaru

How is it that Scanlations are still faster than Licensed releases?
Yen Press is expected to release Volume 14 of Watatemote on September 2019

however the scanlations have already been translating Volume 14 and beyond

The above is the first page of chapter 150 that was scanlated and was uploaded to the site i got it from a month ago while the same site lists up to Chapter 152.
also said site also posted a Bookwalker special edition chapter Chapter 144.5 and this was posted 4 months ago

and as you can see in the image it says Volume 14 went on sale in January (assuming this year).
these 2 pages suggest that in Japan Volume 14 is already out and being sold. yet despite this for an official translation we have to wait 9 months for. but since Yen Press already has the licenses why does it take them so long to release when a scanlation group, which doesn't get paid and done in the group's free time (since they have lives and their jobs) can release it much faster? is this some sort of bottle neck that all licensed releases have?

Related/dupe? Why does it take so long for the translated version of tankoubon volumes to be released?

This might be a case-to-case basis but here's what I noticed and what I think:
As we know, the Japanese release of manga is always the first thing that happens before it is licensed for an English translation. Using your example, the first chapter of Watamote released on August 4, 2011, and the first scanlation released two weeks after. Yen Press, however, did not announce that they licensed the series until on Sakura-Con in March 2013. That's a gap of almost 2 years. This gap cascades and builds on until the recent volume release. This gives scanlations quite a lead in terms of time since they started earlier in translating the series. This I think is the reason why the release is much later than scanlations.
Also, using Watamote again as an example, the scanlation team and the Yen Press team more or less have the same manpower (around 2-3 persons; Yen Press has Krista and Karie Shipley doing translation and Lys Blakeslee on lettering in Watamote), not to mention that the official release has an additional job of lettering (especially on Japanese 'sound effects' in some panels which scanlations usually, if not always, leave it as it is), stricter proofreading and sometimes, censoring.

When does the Bleach OVA occur in relation to the anime?
I'm currently doing a complete run of Bleach, along with the movies and the OVA, and I'm trying to figure out the complete timeline of it all. I know that there was already a question on here about when the movies were in relation to the anime (and a subsequent answer to that question), but I still don't know when the OVA is in relation to it all. Here's what I DO know (along with my assumptions based on that knowledge), in case it helps at all:
The Bleach OVA is a special flashback episode that has to do with Ichigo's fight against Grande Fisher. However, Ichigo's father killed Grande Fisher in the Arrancar arc. So does that mean that it takes place some time before that?

Duplicate for Movies When do the Bleach Movies occur in relation to the anime?, however i don't know about any of the OVA in the series

Based on your description, I am assuming you refer to the first OVA titled Memories in the Rain. This, as noted in Wikipedia, was

...shown in Japan at the Jump Festa 2004 Anime Tour, is a pilot episode for the series. It focuses more on Ichigo's feelings regarding his mother's death. Tite Kubo, the creator of Bleach, voices Kon in this special instead of Mitsuaki Madono, the original voice actor of Kon. The closing theme used for the episode is "Memories in the Rain" by Morita Masakazu, the voice actor of Ichigo Kurosaki, and Orikasa Fumiko, the voice actress of Rukia Kuchiki. (Alternative version of episodes 8 and 9; watched best after episode 7)

Just to add, for the other OVA, The Sealed Sword Frenzy

It appears to take place soon after the Soul Society arc.

Which means that it's set after the events of Episode 63.

@JMCK No problem :)

Would Sasuke awaken 2nd Rinnegan if he in some case accept arm with Hashirama's cells
Im asking this because Madara got both of them when he implanted Hashirama's cells in his body.Would it work for Sasuke too?

what Madara did was combine the chakras of Indra and Ashura, he already had the chakra of Indra since he was a reincarnate and added Ashuras chakra by attaching Hashirams cell(who was a reincarnate of Ashura). Meaning he essentially combined those chakras to become more or less like the six path. But in the case of Sasuke he gained the other half of the chakra from Hagromo directly so he already has the missing part to become the six path. Therefore he cant awaken a second reningan, i.e he has already gotten Hashirams cell when he got his missing arm attached(that was made from Hashirams cell)

Could you elaborate more on this answer? I see the link but am not convinced with your evidence.

I think Sasuske didnt accepted arm

I'm not 100% sure if it would because Madara awakened his rinnegan because at the time he and Hashirama were the incarnates of Indra and asura. But now it's Naruto and Sasuke who are so if Sasuke got a Hashirama arm he wouldn't have the necessary blend of chakra to awaken the second rinnegan

What are Tomura's extra hands exactly?
What are Tomura's extra hands exactly? What are they for and what are they made for? are they artificial or made of organic material, is it known?

It is revealed in Chapter 222 that the hands are from the remains of his family.

It is not known what his extra hands do or are made of. This is neither addressed in manga or anime.
However, the hand on his face has been addressed. He calls it "Father" and is visibly distressed if it is taken off him.
But there is no mention about the material or the backstory of the existence of all those hands in the first place.

While he is visibly distressed in battle, he is able to walk around without them as shown when he confronts Midoriya in the shopping mall.

I believe that there is a scene where Tomura watches a hand in a pool of blood and calls his parents, so I would presume his parents were killed and the hand on his face is his father’s. I know it sounds creepy, but it would make sense.

What does もっとたゆたゆver. mean in AT-X shows' broadcast information?
NSFW Warning: The anime mentioned below is something that I think would qualify as borderline hentai or close to something like hentai.
Anyway, I came across this manga called Nande Koko ni Sensei ga!? which I found out just now that it will have an anime adaptation. From here, it says that Tokyo MX, BS11 and AT-X will air it starting on April 07.
Visiting AT-X's site, however, shows this information:

放送スケジュール
もっとたゆたゆver.
2019年4月11日（木）スタート
毎週（木）21：45
毎週（土）13：45
毎週（火）29：45
【15分×1話】
※視聴年齢制限あり※

From what I could understand here from the little knowledge I have of Japanese, 4月11日 would mean April 11 as the start of broadcast, contrary to April 07. The times would be the broadcast schedules on specific days per week and 視聴年齢制限あり seems to be something about age restriction. What's bugging me is the line 'もっとたゆたゆver.' If I understand correctly, it is read as 'motto tayutayu' where 'motto' would mean more. But I can't seem to find anything about what たゆたゆ means.
What does the line もっとたゆたゆver. mean on AT-X shows' broadcast information?

I think it is refering to a Hentai named Tayu Tayu by Yamatogawa, I think they mean something like more lewdness?! https://myanimelist.net/anime/19631/Tayu_Tayu

I also came across that hentai while searching but I could not see how this phrase refers to this particular hentai. It's not licensed by AT-X nor was it aired on their website and the authors are different so I see no connection between the two. I also could not find any translation at all for the phrase 'Tayu Tayu.'

"Tayu-tayu" is an onomatopoeia word. Characteristics of a Japanese onomatopoeia include a two-syllable word in a repeated fashion. Many, if not all of these translated poorly into English. For an example fuwa-fuwa can be used to the fluffy texture of something (tangible or intangible, like a mood or figurative characteristic). They tend to be more sporadic, with little to no clear standard of usage (so they tend to be quite informal, generally), used a bit like pewpew, kaboom, pow, in a loose sense.
"Tayu-tayu" despite being the title of a popularly known explicit hentai anime and manga, it is in no way related to that series. Typically, it can be used to describe the swaying or shaking motion. It's likely derived from "tayuta", which can refer to something tangible like water, or something intangible like anxiety (like fluttering of the heart/mind). As with many things in Japanese, the context is very important to the actual meaning. In this case the AT-X version, is likely referring to the more "uncensored" nature of the broadcast, as for what is doing the "swaying"... you'll have to watch to find out.

AT-X rated it as R15+, and it'd most possibly be the uncensored version of this PV with mysterious light-beam

How did they do for being able to retain Toichiro Suzuki for incarceration?
Toichiro Suzuki supposedly is the second or first most powerful esper, depending on the source and interpretation. How did regular humans do for being able to retain him for incarcelation, if he at any moment can use his wide range of psychic powers to escape?

What do you mean regular humans? The dialog between him and the person taking him away at the end of Season 2 Episode 12, as well as the non-standard binding on his hands strongly suggests that he's being taken in by an organisation that has their own supply of espers.
Additionally, at this point he has had his change of heart - he is turning himself in and going peacefully. So while it's still possible that he's strong enough to break free, he's choosing not to.

What is the statue Hyakkimaru prays to?
Hyakkimaru's mother prays to a statue without a head. What is this statue without a head?

The statue that Hyakkimaru's mother prays to is Goddess of Mercy. The Goddess of Mercy statue had a head before Hyakkimaru was born.
"The Goddess of Mercy statue sacrificed its own head at Hyakkimaru's birth so the child would not lose his head in his father's bargain with the demons.",
(Reference - Notes, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dororo_(2019_TV_series))
For more summarized details about the episodes you can refer to following link : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dororo_(2019_TV_series)

Please include relevant sources/references.

Please try to include them in the main answer itself, not as a comment. Furthermore, it would be better to use other references as I could not see any citation or reference on where the wiki got this information: The Goddess of Mercy statue sacrificed its own head at Hyakkimaru's birth so the child would not lose his head in his father's bargain with the demons. Citing chapters or episode numbers would be better. To add, if you are including sentences word-per-word from other sources, please indicate so as that would be mistaken as your own and would be considered plagiarizing.

Sure. Your suggestion is appreciated. Thanks @W.Are

The statue actually is called guanyin goddess. The statue orginal have a head but the goddess protected Hyakkimaru and it cost the statue head blast off. Actually it was just a guess from a youtuber. I'm not sure the explanation is correct but here is a link to the video. The explanation start at 4:07.

Why does Iida call Ochako Uraraka-Kun?
This might just be a general Japanese-Language question, but I noticed, that Iida calls Ochaco with the honorific "kun", instead of "chan", or "san" for example.
Why is that and what does it say about Iidas character?

From what I was able to find out, -kun, while mostly used for males, can also be used for females. According to this,

Kun for females is a more respectful honorific than -chan, which implies childlike cuteness.

-san can also be used but according to the same source as above,

Due to -san being gender neutral and commonly used, it can be used to refer to people who are not close or whom one does not know. However, it may not be appropriate when using it on someone who is close or when it is clear that other honorifics should be used.

I think this just means that Iida tends to be formal, or even more formal, towards females/girls (since -kun is informal when used among fellow boys, but despite this, he still acts serious even with his male classmates) and might be just his way of showing respect.

I searched for the answer too but couldn't find anything. I am not sure, but according to my assumption and observation, Iida uses 'kun' because he's trying hard to speak in a more informal way instead of using sophisticated words as he doesn't want others to know that he is a rich guy and be called a "Rich boy". I mean, you see as Momo is also from a high social status family, she tends to use 'san' (which is formal), so maybe (in a comical way from the mangaka's point of view) Iida thinks that using 'kun' (which is informal) even for the girls will help him blend more to being a "less wealthy boy"?
I am saying this taking reference from season 1 episode 9 where Iida unintentionally uses formal/sophisticated speech at a cafeteria in front of Ochako and Midoriya, so Ochako asks him if he is a rich guy, then he reveals that he is in fact the younger brother of Ingenium and tells them how he was trying his best to change his way of speaking.
But after this long paragraph, I am still not sure. Maybe our fellow friends who read the manga may have a better explanation because am only an anime watcher.

I didn't even remember that episode. Good catch. Shines a nice light on Iida's motivation, using Kun to be less formal, while still being too formal to use Chan (which I personally would feel too awkward to use, as well, although arguably not using it might seem weirder ).

how close was kabuto to achieving the power of sage of six paths?
In the anime after kabuto received his sage mode  He claimed he was the closest thing to sage of six path. but how close was he in reality?

There's no measured way of saying this, but considering how poorly his control over sage chakra was, because of how much his appearance changed, I guess he was just being arrogant. He wasn't even truly capable of absorbing natural energy, since he implanted himself with cells from Jūgo to absorb natural energy constantly. He also wasn't aware, at that time, of how strong Naruto had become and what his power consisted of, so in summary, he was not the closest thing to the Sage of Six Paths nor he was close to anything like it.

ahh okay, yes that makes sence

He is nowhere close to the power of sage of six paths. The power of sage of six paths is not a power that you can achieve easily, especially through Kabuto way to implant Orochimaru cells to his body. If you have Rinnegan, then we can say you already achieve the power of sage of six paths.

What do the colours of the souls mean in Dororo?
So apparently Hyakkimaru and Biwamaru see white to a soul which is pure, and see red the soul of someone who has killed other humans or monsters who are evil. Are there other colour meanings?

There is just gray, that is a normal human, White means a human with a pure soul, red means a ghoul or a demon you see it for the first time in episode 1.  gray with red lines means a human who killed people it's first seen in episode 5. In episode 12 you see a green soul. This from the statue (the god). Green is probarly wood. In episode 16 you see that a tree also has a green soul and the right arm of hyakimaru is also green.
In episode 13, there is 1 new color,

 a soul that was gray with black holes, this was a human that was revived from the death by a demon.

In episode 14, there are 2 new colors,

 the color blue and yellow. If I have to guess those are ghosts that are killed people.

Blue and yellow appeared in the last episode (#14)

@Pablo true but I didn't know back then and we still don't know what blue and yellow means

For the sake of completeness, could you add each episode number when they introduced new colors (including for gray, white, gray with red lines, and red)?

@AkiTanaka i will try!

To add to the previous answer, there is also in episode 7 the orange color for a demon with a kind soul.

How many times was Genos upgraded?
I recall once Genos's "creator" told him after some upgrade he "might be stronger than his friend now" (of course this is wrong). Also Genos was broken several times and he had to be repaired , in those situations it's hard to know if he was upgraded or not, but later he displays attacks and features he hasnt showed before. Perhaps the manga or the webcomic goes deeper into this, how many times is clearly shown Genos was upgraded in the One Punch Man story?

Set 1 (Initial) - [Appears in chapters 5-6] This is the first set Genos appeared in the story with. Has not made a reappearance beyond his fight with Mosquito Girl.

Set 2 (Emergency Replacement Arms) - [Appears in chapters 7-11, 15-16, 30-32, 35-37, 45, web chapter 57, and volume 8 and 10's extra chapters] I came to the conclusion that these arms were Genos' extra arms for emergency repairs as, after the House of Evolution's arc, he never has this set equipped for battle again (except for Boros' arc, when he was called over to attend the S class meeting from Bang's dojo). I assume that, whenever he has these arms equipped, his regular set of arms are being repaired or upgraded by Dr. Stench, or being set aside for later maintenance by Genos.

Set 3 (Anti-Saitama tactical arm TYPE-00) - [Appears in chapter 17] The set of arms Dr. Stench created for Genos to compete against Saitama (expounded upon in the anime episode). The name of this set was written on the fist.

Set 4 (Upgrade 1) - [Appears in chapters 18, 20-24, 26-28, and volume 5's extra chapter] Genos' most commonly equipped set of arms for half of the story so far, its last appearance being in volume 5. Genos never used this set of arms for battle alone, however, as he only ever used Sets 5 and 6 along with this set of arms, so Upgrade 1 may have specifically been built with the usage of sets 5 and 6 in mind. Perhaps Set 3 was too energy intensive to be used for regular battle?

Set 5 (Suitcase Prototype) - [Appears in chapter 21] Used by Genos against the meteor, who mentioned that it was only at the prototype stage. Its inactive mode is in the form of a suitcase.

Set 6 (Suitcase) - [Appears in chapters 25-27] First seen in chapter 25, but is not equipped until chapter 26. Is an improved version of Set 5 and has a smoother, rounder appearance to it compared to Set 5's blocky design.

Set 7 (Rocket Arms) - [Appears in chapters 38 and 40] Used in the battle against G4. The forearms are attached to the main body by a cable and are propelled by the force of the explosive rockets built into them to strike the enemy before being retracted. When Genos' forearm was later sliced off by G4, he was able to shoot out and use the cable to entangle G4, which may mean that he can manipulate the cable's movements to some extent.

Set 8 (Unique Extra Chapter Arms) - [Appears in chapter 39's cover and volume 8's extra chapter] Its only appearance in the main story is on chapter 39's cover. This set of arms was exclusively used against Grizzly Nyah.

Set 9 (Upgrade 2) - [Appears in chapters 42-44] Used in the fight against Sonic. Its design similarities to Set 10 implies this set to be an intermediary point between Set 4 and Set 10.

Set 10 (Upgrade 3) - [Appears in chapters 45-47, 51, 54-55, and volume 10's extra chapter] Still unused in combat, but possibly Genos' strongest set of arms at the present time. Has a similar design to the set of arms Genos [Spoiler]1 Comes with heat and shock proof hair.

If the universe seed is for creating universes, why does Hearts think he can destroy the Zenos with it?
In Dragon Ball Heroes episode 9 of the anime , Hearts says that with the universe see he will destroy the Zenos. But the universe seed supposedly is for creating universes. Why did he say so? How would he use the universe seed to destroy the Zenos?

The Universe seed could also be considered as an energy source of sorts and we see hearts supposedly generate these boxes which can trap people or objects in from which energy is absorbed by the Universe Seed until nothing remains as you can see here, from the 6:00 mark.He threatens to do the same to the Universe 6 fighters, Trunks and Vegeta until Kamin and Oren stop them. I believe the Universe Seed here acts as a massive energy source which can perhaps be used to destroy Zeno or resist their power.For instance, a similar comparison could be made to an experiment performed by Fu in Xenoverse 2. While the character would distort time and create alternate scenarios to simply absorb energy for experimental purposes(Note: He doesn't get stronger by absorbing the energy). He is able to pass this energy on to the Future Warrior, who with his help, is capable of pushing SSJB Goku into turning Ultra Instinct and is also capable of holding his own against Ultra Instinct Goku.

Does Saitama have enhanced senses?
So Saitama jumped and appeared at King's apartment in floor 22th. How did he know King was there? Does Saitama have enhanced vision, hearing or something?

yes he had according to his wikia he possessed the superhuman strength https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Saitama
Immense Senses: Saitama's senses are far beyond the human norm. Nevertheless, Saitama's senses do not have the same degree of 'resolution' as some of Genos' sensors, which can detect and distinguish foes at a greater distance. Even so, he does possess impressively sharp hearing, being able to pick up on various chatter from bystanders a good distance away even while fighting monsters and the like.

Ok, I was reading a segment of the webcomic and Saitama is able to see in the dark. Garou is surprised about this, because he thought it would be impossible for a person to distinguish anything where they were fighting, and he asks what kind of vision Saitama has. So, yes, at least Saitama has enhanced vision.

I would not be surprised if he has greatly enhanced senses, since he was able to easily track and keep up with Sonic during their first fight. That confirms that he has enhanced vision, at the very least.

Can the Law of the Cycle destroy itself?
Could Madoka ever accumulate despair, or does her Soul Gem stay pure forever? According to Kyubey, she takes the despair away from magical girls about to become witches. If her Soul Gem became tainted, she could potentially become a witch and destroy herself (through her wish). Would that even be possible??

she could potentially become a witch and destroy herself (through her wish). Would that even be possible??

yes, we see this happen in Episode 12 after Madoka makes her wish that ultimately leads her to become a Goddess.
After Walpurgisnacht is destroyed Homura finds herself on the moon watching Madoka's tainted Soul Gem streak across the galaxy, collapsing into a Grief Seed before becoming Kriemhild Gretchen. it is then that Madoka appears and we see her assume her Goddess form and as per her wish she can destroy even her own witch form. however Madoka must still exists to continue erasing witches even after she destroys herself and this paradox is what lead to the Universe having to be recreated.

in Madoka's Universe however we can't confirm if Madoka even has a Soul Gem. while amiami has had an Ultimate Madoka Soul Gem on sale once before (historical images) the problem is that Madoka's Goddess form doesn't show anything that looks like an opal on her in her Universe as shown in the Rebellion movie

and Magical Girls generally have the same coloured gem on their body as their Soul Gem and Ring. what's more Ultimate Madoka's gems on the upper part of her dress might be the same colour and shape as her Soul Gem in the previous universe but it does not show a noticeable metal frame around it like in her Magical Girl form
(Designs for Homura, Kyoko, Sayaka, Mami, Nagisa showing their Soul Gems in Magical Girl form).
there's also the fact that it was the Incubator's logic that a Magical Girl's Soul exists outside of their body in the form of the Soul Gem. it's possible that after becoming a Goddess Madoka's Soul is back in her own body.
i would speculate that in her universe Madoka, as a Goddess and the concept called the "Law of Cycles" that's always existed in the universe, is a difference existence than a Magical Girl and not bound by their rules. even her own wish states this

I want to erase all witches before they are even born. I will erase every single witch in every universe, past and future with my own hands...I don't care what you call it. All those magical girls who held onto their hopes and fought against witches I don't want to see them cry. I want them to stay smiling until the end. If any rule or law stands in my way I will destroy it. I will rewrite it. That is my prayer. That is my wish. Now grant it, Incubator!

and as in her universe the Law of Cycles can not become a witch

As Madoka herself explains at the end of episode 12 of the anime,

 if her wish truly came true then even she would not become a witch which is why she became a god and was incorporated into the Law of Cycles. She is even shown stopping her own witch form which is why she was able to create a new world in which witches didn't exist. So to put it bluntly, the answer is no.

In the main TV timeline, the Law existed for an instant, absorbed the corruption of all witches, turned into a witch, and was destroyed by its own past self.
Its creation and destruction happened in one timeline of the old universe, but it acts across all time and space in all timelines. If the Law experiences time linearly at all, it will eventually return to the old universe to become a witch and die.

Is Kefla stronger than Vegito?
It was said that Kefla was strong enough to kill Ultra Instinct Goku when they fought. Also, a lot of power scalers in the Dragon Ball Community are saying Kefla is even stronger than Super Saiyan Blue Vegito from the Future Trunks arc. How is that possible?

Well for starters, let us examine the factors that influence the strength of a Potara fusion.The first obvious factor would be the characters who fuse/ take part in the fusion. It would logically make sense for a fusion between stronger characters to be > than a fusion between weaker characters. For example, a fusion between Goten and Trunks was Effortlessly pummeled by a Base Vegeta on account of his superior strength. A potara fusion also stacks additional multipliers. In the Buu saga when the fusion was first introduced, Goku contemplates fusing with Hercule who is substantially weaker than him. This proves that there is still some benefit from the fusion. More information regarding character Gokule can be seen hereFinally, in Episode 114 in DBS, Shin states that a fusion between Android 17 and 18 would be ideal as they are Compatible. So one can assume maybe the compatibility between the charaters result in a superior fusionWith regard to whether Kefla is stronger than VegitoThe Vegito from the Buu Saga is obviously weaker than Kefla. Caulifla and Kale are substantially more powerful than the Goku and Vegeta from the Buu Saga. Hence, it would logically make sense for Kefla to be stronger.Based on the above logic, it would obviously make sense for Vegito from the Goku Black arc to be several time stronger than Kefla. SSJ2 Caulifla at the very least is comparable to SSJ2 Goku/Vegeta. Kale on the other hand at the very least, is comparable to SSJG Goku. Even if you consider Kale to be equivalent to SSJB Goku or Vegeta/ it still wouldn't make a difference as Caulifla is clearly no where close to Super Saiyan Blue.The next main factor is based on compatibility. The compatibility between Goku + Vegeta and Kale + Caulifla is more or less identical as in both cases, they belong to the same race and also belong to the same gender and there really isn't any reason to indicate Kefla is a much more compatible fusion in comparison to Vegito Also, I don't believe Kefla was ever strong enough to "Kill" UI Goku. This misconception stems from comments made by Krillin and Roshi. I believe these comments were made simply based off concern and that Roshi and Krillin clearly have no idea with regard to Goku's level of power. During Goku's second fight with Jiren, the latter uses a punch which Goku describes as the strongest attack he's ever seen and the power of which scares goku out of his SSJB form. Goku then proceeds to tank several of these punches one after the other in his base form. For future reference, I think it would be much safer to take Whis's statements at face value and possibly even the statements made by some of the Gods of Destruction as the level of power being utilized by Goku is far beyond something which Roshi & Krillin can comprehend.

Yes.
Kefla is stronger because it took Incomplete Ultra Instinct Goku to beat her. According to Perfecr Power Level List wiki, it is 40 Quintillion. That's 40,000,000,000,000,000.
Vegito Blue's power  level is 180 Billion. That's 180,000,000,000. Vegito Blue was also weaker than Super Saiyan Rage Trunks. Trunks beat Fused Zamasu while Vegito Blue failed to do so.

Goku could beat them when he was in Ultra Instinct, but Vegito is Goku and Vegeta’s power level combined and significantly multiplied, so no, Kefla is not stronger than Vegito.

No. The only reason Kefla could have had a chance is because Kale is the closest thing to a Legendary Super Saiyan and Caulifla’s skill and speed, but Goku and Vegeta are capable of beating gods. Goku and his years of training, fused with Vegeta and his years of training, against 2 kids - and not to mention the evolution of the two main people (SSJBE and UI, and Vegito can go SSJB Kaioken x 10). Goku was tired, having had to fight Kale and train Caulifa during that fight: Goku vs Kefla was a controlled berserk Saiyan vs a tired Goku.

IMO, Kefla is stronger than Vegito from the Future Trunks Saga.
Kefla in super saiyan form was in a similar level to Goku Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken x20. They exchanged hits, once Kefla was sent flying to a rock, hardly hit, and in another hit catching Goku kinda off guard, she knocked him down in Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken x20. Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken x20 is the power of 20 times the power of a super saiyan blue. So when she turned super saiyan 2, she had around the power of 40 times a tired super saiyan blue Goku.
Vegito from the Trunks Saga had the power of 2 super saiyan blue multiplied "tens of times". It could be 40 times, 60 times, 80 times etc. But since then Goku and Vegeta received several senkais. Goku since then had the zenkai from recovering from Zamazu, the zenkai from fighting with Piccolo and Gohan, the Zenkai from recovering from the battle with Gohan, the zenkai from the fight with Freezer after bringing him from hell, probably another zenkai from the energy Freezer gave him after fighting Jiren. And IIRC it was said by Jiren that Goku and Vegeta were stronger than the ones he fought before. So the fusion of a super saiyan 2 (Caulifla) with a legendary super saiyan type saiyan who walked through a super saiyan blue kamehameha (Kale), who was called a monster by a super saiyan blue Vegeta, and who catched the attention of Jiren to knock her down, has to be incredible powerful. Other people will disagree, but the berserker version of Kale is stronger than a super saiyan blue imo. Then the fusion of her with another saiyan can be stronger than the fusion of 2 super saiyan blue.

There are a bunch of inaccurate statements. For example, It wasn't stated that Goku was using SSJB+KK20 Against Kefla. It was more or less implied that Goku was going SSJB+Kaioken1(As Beerus stated that Goku barely had the stamina to turn Kaioken/ Turning KK**20 Would be overkill). Secondly, Kale in her Berserker state was easily K.O'd by a simple power impact from Jiren and the SSJB Kamehameha used by Goku was suppressed as we see the effort put in was significantly less compared to the Kamehameha against Merged Zamasu etc.

Also, Kale was simply disturbing the tournament, hence Jiren intervened. He was about to attack Universe 2 before Vegeta did when they initially disrupted the entire tournament. Also we see an exhausted SSJG Goku easily hold his own (With an advantage against an LSSJ Kale). Even Based on your argument, if we assume Kale is stronger than SSJB which isn't really the case, she would have to be so much stronger to offset the difference between an SSJ2 and SSJB character which is extremely significant.

Which heroes beaten up by Garou died?
Garou has beaten many heroes, but some of them at least in their first beating survived, such as Tank Top Vegetarian. Which heroes beaten up by Garou died?

As far as I know, no hero that Garou defeated ever died in the manga. As noted here:

Although Garou is a villain and considered evil by most, he possesses a sense of morality: he fights heroes in a way without killing them, but he is okay with others killing heroes.

When Bang found Charanko and the other heroes lying on the floor the next day, they all seemed dead. Were they alive? Tank Top Master and Mumen Rider werent there.

@Pablo Yep. In later scenes, Charanko and Tank Top Master was seen talking to Saitama (in the hospital). The Tank Top Army is also not listed as deceased nor dead in the wiki. If they were dead, then it would at least be shown in the manga since subordinates' deaths would inevitably have an effect on Tank Top Master.

Did King get any stronger?
At the end of season 2 episode 1 , Saitama asks King if he's going to keep lying about being strong and King says he doesnt know. Then Saitama tells him he could quit or get stronger. Did King get any stronger as the story continues? (in the manga)

He supposedly develops a guilt and fear due to the lie he is hiding from others. According to the wiki,

...he decided to visit Bang in his dojo and asked him to train him, in order to become stronger. After getting rejected however, he desperately tried the same with Bomb's dojo and later visited one dojo after another, only to get rejected over and over again, thus making him even more desperate. As a result he eventually dropped the thought of getting stronger and even considered the idea to die while attempting to fight a monster.

Unless he has the drive or the will to become stronger again in the future, then no, he will not get any stronger anytime soon.

I thought Bang hanged out with him and Saitama? Too bad, it would have been cool if he got some martial arts skills and artifacts to get stronger

@Pablo King just can't escape his reputation. Everyone interprets everything he says and does as the action of a supremely powerful man.

@Pablo Also, so you know, this answer is based on recent events in the webcomic, which is technically distinct from the manga. The manga is based on the webcomic, and mostly just expands on things in the webcomic, but there are some differences so it's probable but not certain that these webcomic events will also appear in the manga in some form once it advances to that point.

Who does the image labeled "god level threat" in OPM webcomic chapter #77 belong to?
In the One Punch Man webcomic chapter #77 , there is an image of someone labeled "god level threat". This image looks like

 Garou

It's never stated who he is. is it him? (considering the Hero Association labels him Dragon Level Threat) Who does the image labeled "god level threat" in OPM webcomic chapter #77 belong to ?

It's Garou but I think it's more of like a dialogue, declaring himself as a God-level threat. The association never declared him as one, as far as I know.

I presume this is the image you are referring to:

As W. Are said in the comments, this is Garou. Fubuki even immediately recognizes him as such at the very beginning of the next chapter.

Garou has been fighting almost continuously through difficult battles for some time now, and he's pretty jacked up. Blood and dirt have caked onto his body and hair.  His hair has matted up into a more horn-like appearance as a result, and his overall appearance is more monstrous.  Which, seeing as he wants to be a monster anyway, is all to his liking.

 This is Garou's ego speaking, ultimately. The association has never attributed a God-level disaster threat to Garou. Nothing has definitively stated that the prophesied God-level disaster has been dealt with, or otherwise passed, by the end of his arc. There are a few scenes, one with Homeless Emperor a few chapters later from the one under consideration here, that implies there is a greater force to be dealt with, though. But Garou does know about the prophesy, as pretty much his first appearance is at the hero's association where the information about the God-level disaster gets stolen by Sonic and spread around. He immediately associated the prophesy with himself and his goals.

How could a B hero class like Fubuki defeat a dragon level villain?
In the webcomic, Fubuki battles

 Psykos

and defeats her. How could a B hero class like Fubuki defeat a dragon level villain?

Well if you've read the chapters concerning the battle then you should know how she wins.  It spends most of the chapter where she wins telling you exactly how she wins, right down to the mechanics.
First, don't forget that Fubuki is intentionally remaining B-class because she doesn't want to compete with Sweet Mask in A-class or her sister in S-class.  Her class is not indicative of her true strength.  Indeed, in general the ranks of heroes and monsters are both not necessarily accurate.  The anime and manga spend a little bit of extra time pointing this out, having a low-ranked and seemingly puny-looking monster turn out to be very strong, while you are explicitly told there are cases like this where the rankings are inaccurate.  Second, as I said, the chapter spells it out for you:

 She uses the move she calls "psychic whirlwind".  It details that normally psionic powers follow the path of shortest distance.  But she learned to control the path her powers take, and creates a whirlwind of psionic power around her.  So instead of her powers clashing head-on with Psykos's and getting crushed—because Fubuki does plainly admit that Psykos is stronger than her—they instead deflect Psykos' attacks harmlessly away.  Psykos subsequently wastes her energy, exhausting herself until she's easy pickings.

In other words, Fubuki wins because a fight isn't strictly about power.  Fubuki has the superior skill and compatibility to come out the victor.

To add, this shows how rankings and threat levels in the series are unreliable. So, judgments on who's stronger should only be made once someone has actually demonstrated his/her prowess, and not by knowing the rank or threat-level alone.

@W.Are add that to an answer because it's relevant

Are there other ninjas aside Flashy Flash and Speed of Sound Sonic from the same village in One Punch Man?
Supposedly Flashy Flash and Speed of Sound Sonic were trained in the same ninja village. Are there other ninjas from there in the series?

Just FYI, there's a whole mess of them now, which I've added to the end of my existing answer.

In the webcomic, there is currently (as of the time this answer was first written) nothing that unambiguously associates Flashy Flash with Sonic in any fashion. There are some things to suggest it, though:

 When Flashy Flash fights Garou he uses a technique called "Shadow Steps" to move even faster, and that kind of sounds like the name of a ninja-based move.  He also uses "Wind Blade Kick", a technique we saw Sonic use against Saitama in Chapter 15.

On the other hand, in the manga there is Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame, members of the Monster Association.  These two are explicitly said to be from the same village as Sonic, and more recently it has been made explicit that Flashy Flash hails from this village as well.
These characters do not exist in the webcomic in this form.  They are evidently based on the monsters Gale and Hellfire, who are also brothers that team up to fight Flashy Flash. But these have radically different character designs (they're robots, for one), and are quickly dispatched by Flashy Flash without receiving any real backstory.  These monsters were originally designed by another mangaka, so they couldn't be used in the manga adapation due to copyright issues.

The situation in the webcomic has since changed, and there are at least 23 living ninjas we have now seen, not including a mysterious "him".  Flashy Flash and Sonic are now explicitly revealed to be part of the 44th Ninja Class, same as in the Manga, as well.

 The following is a list of all of the ninjas that showed up, taken from a scanlation, including their graduation class:

Can Sea Prism Stones be cut or broken?
I know sea prism stones are extremely hard and can't remember any moment where I have seen anyone to cut or break them. If someone is cuffed with them and he or she happens to be extremely powerful and not a devil fruit eater can he or she break it? Can a swordsman cut it?

So far in the series, we have not had any instances where seastone was directly broken apart, whether with brute force or with a weapon like a sword. In cases where characters like Robin or Ace were restrained with seastone handcuffs, they were unlocked using the keys. Whether it can be done remains an open question, as we have seen both Zoro and Mihawk cut through other extremely solid objects in the past.
However, the mineral itself is not indestructible even though it is said to be as hard as a diamond. This is evident because the Marines are able to shape it into a variety of items like handcuffs, prison bars, weapons (like Smoker's sword) and even use it to coat the bottom of ships to escape Sea Kings. You can find the other limitations we know about seastone in the wikia.
In the latest manga chapters, we come to know that seastone may have originated

 in Wano, and that there exist craftsmen with expertise in working with the mineral.

Can heroes have any kind of powers in One Punch Man?
Something I find strange in One Punch Man is, it seems no all kinds of power seems to exist in the story. I mean, what we usually see is, people with increased strenght, resistance, regeneration, speed, (all augmentations of natural human habilities), ESP, and people who increased their power through artifacts such as cyborgs, people using special guns (like golden ball, spring mustachio, stinger, etc) and that's it. We dont see for example, heroes who can manipulate ice or fire without artifacts , invisibility, people who can naturally fire beams, wind control, water control, animal control, etc. May be I'm wrong and I don't know all the heroes, but isnt it so?
Can heroes have any kind of powers in One Punch Man?

I think that a definite or correct answer to this question can only be provided by the mangaka himself/herself as someone else might entail the need for speculation. I'll provide my views, however.
We dont see for example, heroes who can manipulate ice or fire without artifacts , invisibility, people who can naturally fire beams, wind control, water control, animal control, etc. Almost all of the powers you mentioned here can be done by espers, except for invisibility and naturally fire beams, whatever kind of beams they may be. There's really no such thing as impossible when it comes to an author and his/her story. Anything can be made possible if the mangaka can create a situation to make things not previously included in his/her story to be possible.
However, the problem I see with ONE including, for example, invisibility and fire beams, and why I think we would not see them anytime soon, is that it is unoriginal. In One-Punch Man, most of the heroes apart from espers, acquired their abilities via training or some other means later in life. They were not born with them, which sets the story apart. Including a part where people are now born with different abilities would make it seem like Boku no Hero Academia or X-Men.
Although, again, who knows. The mangaka has control of the story so if he can make it work, then I have no complaints. So, yes, heroes can have any kind of powers in One-Punch Man if the mangaka wills it so.

@zibadawatimmy Which was what I stated as an exception above. As I said, 'In One-Punch Man, most of the heroes apart from espers, acquired their abilities via training or some other means later in life.'

I dont know if it's canon or it should be considered "filler", but in th new OVA 1 of season 2 (not released at the time of the question),

 Heroes who can manipulate ice, fire and animals appeared

Does Metal Bat need his bat for being more powerful?
So Metal Bat is capable of doing a swing which destroys a building. For doing such a swing he would need an incredible strenght and for having that strenght he would need a very hard body (arms and fits included). What does the bat add here? Does Metal Bat need his bat for being more powerful? Has he ever been shown fighting without the bat and being very powerful too?

He indeed has an incredible amount of strength. From the One-Punch Man Encyclopedia,

When the intensity of Metal Bat's anger reaches its maximum, his power approaches infinity.

Aside from that, he also has extreme durability, enabling him to take many hits from higher-level monsters.
From one of the omake, it was said that he only acquired his unbreakable bat upon his promotion to S-rank. This means that he does not need the unbreakable bat that was made for him in order to defeat monsters, as any other bat would do, albeit it would break easily, as shown in the same omake.

Doesn't really answer the question of whether or not he needs a bat of some sort.  He's only ever depicted having used one.  Only answers that he didn't need an unbreakable one.

@zibadawatimmy Which was what the question is: 'Does Metal Bat need his bat for being more powerful?' I was assuming that 'his bat' is referring to his current bat, which is the unbreakable one. 'Doesn't really answer the question of whether or not he needs a bat of some sort. ' Yes, it does. It means he does not need a special bat in order to become a hero, 'any would do' albeit it would break easily, which was what I said. Can you clarify on what you mean by 'it does not answer the question'?

Yes: if he had no bat at all, what then?  As long as he's got some bat he's fine, but what about none at all?

@zibadawatimmy As I posted above 'When the intensity of Metal Bat's anger reaches its maximum, his power approaches infinity.' There was no special mention that he specifically needed his bat to be this powerful, only that his anger sort of 'activates' it. This is from the encyclopedia and I interpreted it as something that tells readers that yes, even without a bat, he still has nearly infinite power...

@zibadawatimmy My first statements in the answer were meant to show that even without a bat, Metal Bat still has nearly infinite power, among other things. I apologize if it is not clearly understood but that was my intention.

Um, he needs that bat. If he reaches infinite power.... Im pretty sure that a punch with that much force would shoot his arms of. Granted he hasn't trained like saitama has, hence the reason why saitama hasn't had his arms shoot of yet. If his power reached infinite, wouldn't he become as strong as saitama himself? If that's the case, then Metal bat's arms would shoot of if he punched with that much strength. So yes, he does need that bat.

Who is the strongest monster in One Punch Man?
Not considering aliens as monsters (because those soldiers from Boros could be thought as monsters but not counting them) and leaving Garou "the half monster" aside, who is the strongest monster in One Punch Man?

For me, there is no way to gauge a specific monster as the strongest, unless the mangaka explicitly states that they are strong or if a chapter would be released detailing the monsters' exact prowess.
However, included among the top of the monsters are Boros and Orochi, both Dragon+-level monsters (but not stated as God), and Golden Sperm, who Murata says he is not sure if Orochi or him (Golden Sperm) is stronger.

As of now this https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Orochi Orochi is the strongest monster in the series because hes the leader of monster association means that he has Dragon+ level threat

But Murata mentions he is uncertain about the strength difference between Orochi and Golden Sperm....How can you be sure he's indeed stronger than him?

Does Tatsumaki wear panties?
Some NSFW content and possible spoilers ahead.
I came across this question and was instantly reminded of another character who, at first glance, seems to be not wearing any underwear, too: Tatsumaki. Some people who think she doesn't wear any usually cite the following photos from the manga and anime as shown below:

Does she really not wear any underwear at all?

From what I was able to gather, yes, she does. From a Q&A,

Murata : Hahaha there is no such setting about no panties

Furthermore,

According to Murata, few years ago the animation team from Madhouse asked him whether Tatsumaki is wearing any panties, to which he answered she does.

The webcomic also depicts her wearing one and King even sees them.

While the images in the manga might seem to contradict these statements from Murata himself, she could be wearing a type of underwear similar to a C-string or G-string, in which case it would make sense that it's not that visible to the point that she doesn't seem to wear any. Murata never stated what type they were, after all and even joked about planning to use ONE's 'diaper-like' depiction of her panties when he will draw that particular scene someday.

To do the downvoter, mind explaining why the answer is 'not useful'?

In chapter 181 p29  we now have a scene as well where this is confirmed.

Does Melissa Shield ever appear outside the movie?
AFAIR, in the first 3 seasons of the My Hero Academia anime, Melissa Shield never appears. How about the manga? Does Melissa Shield ever appear outside the movie?

Well, she does appear in the anime, specifically in Episode 58.

She also appears in the spinoff volume Two Heroes, which was released alongside the film.
