How could Armored Gorilla beat Marshall Gorilla?
https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Armored_Gorilla

We all remember this gorilla in season 1, who seems really weak and lost against Genos.

In season 2, we see him beating Marshall Gorilla in one punch.

It sounded very weird to me. The previous episodes showed the monsters of Orochi very strong, and need S-Class Heroes to beat them.
Marshall Gorilla is the same kind as the Supersado girl.
But Fubuki needed Tatsumaki help to beat her.

He was followed by Zombieman, an S-Class Hero, who was worried about that Marshall Gorilla, so it means that he's as strong as a S-Class Hero...
So if this Gorilla is so strong, how can that weak Armored Gorilla beat him?

Reason of negative vote?

Armored Gorilla looked very weak despite claiming to be extremely strong. This is because he was very quickly and easily beaten by Genos.  Also, Genos looks weak compared to the other human there... Saitama.
However, Genos soon after became an S class hero and clearly deserves that ranking based on his skill level.  So Genos is S class level.  Genos and Saitama are absurdly strong and are ridiculous standards to compare to.
You argue that Marshall Gorilla needed someone on the level of an S class hero to beat them.  I would argue that they need an A class hero or similar to beat them but that doesn't matter.  This episode establishes that Marshall Gorilla should be strong enough to at least defeat most A class heroes.
His easy defeat just shows that Armored Gorilla actually was very strong... he looked weak only because of how amazingly strong Genos and (by extension) Saitama are.
Retrospectively, we should know that he was that strong as Genos's defeat of that laboratory alone was enough to skyrocket him up to S rank immediately. While you may want to attribute that strength to Saitama as Saitama beat Kabuto, the hero association was probably not aware of Kabuto so did not include him in their calculations.

Thanks for your answer, I think you're right, they are A-level monsters after all. I take your answer

Armored Gorilla is stronger than Marshal Gorilla
If we are going to base on threat level alone, Armored Gorilla is Demon level while Marshall Gorilla is Tiger level

But of course we can't just use the threat level alone.

So let's look how the battle goes on between the two:

 Marshall Gorilla uses his Banana Slash to Armored Gorilla, the same technique he use to defeat the A-rank hero Heavy Kong. The attack didn't even budged Armored Gorilla and the knife was broken, from this we can completely see the power difference between the two and we can say the Armored Gorilla is really stronger that Marshall Gorilla.

Zombieman is not worried about Marshall Gorilla, he is following him for a different reason:

 Zombieman want to know their location that's why he is following him

Thanks for answering. I accept your argument of Monster Level. But I don't agree with that As i explained, Marshall Gorilla is same kind than Supersado girl. And to beat Supersado, they needed Tatsumaki (S-Class Hero).  But Armored Gorilla is weak, as we saw on Season 1 Episode 2, Genos (who was weak at this time, comparing to now) beat him easily. So these titles mean nothing
And I remember on the Anime, I saw Zombieman with a panic face

That categorization by the hero association it is probably as wrong as when they say King is an S class hero

It's all about match ups. Nothing to do with power. Although power can make a huge difference if they are as strong as tatsumaki. But you have to realize that fubuki and her gang doesn't even match up to most heroes on A levels. Fubuki although being B class could be considered A since she is top 1 and could do well. Genos is also a pretty strong character but his main role is to make saitama look stronger by making him lose to the enemies that saitama could beat. He didn't get S by just being a tactician. His physical levels are off the charts. Remember deep sea King? He took out 2 S class heroes and made sonic retreat but he is only a demon level threat. Same level with armored gorilla. But like I said, it's all about match ups too. Deep sea King is physically strong and even stronger and faster in the rain. Some heroes could be advantageous against certain monsters. Like VS Boros. I'm pretty sure most of the S class heroes won't hold up to him unless they teamed up. The only one I think would have a chance would be tatsumaki.

Isn't Sunshine "THE ONE" mode not strong enough to fight The Demon King?
So chapter 317 already release and there is a conversation between Escanor and Mael.

I was shocked that Mael say that he cannot defeat the Demon King. But isn't Sunshine still have the ultimate mode called "The ONE"? If I recall, when it reach high noon, the holder of Sunshine can use "THE ONE" mode, which is "the invincible incarnation of power" based on Merlin.
So why Mael seems like have no confident to fight the Demon King? Can't he use that mode to fight the Demon King?

Mael and the archangels were never meant to be on the Demon Kings level, only on the same level as the Ten Commandments if not stronger, Sunshine is an extremely powerful grace but it still isn't powerful enough to go toe to toe with the demon king.

Same story but different start(refer the body of Hyakkimaru)
In Dororo(2019), Hyakkimaru is unable to talk because of the demon took part of his body. But in Dororo(1969), Hyakkimaru body is also been taken by the demon but he is able to talk.
Why? I see the story is wrote by the same person(Osamu Tezuka). Isn't Dororo(2019) is a remake version of the old one?

Is there a 2007 version? I knew there was a 1969 version, but never heard of the 2007 one

@Pablo is right. There is no 2007 version, at least according to its MAL page. Maybe you mistook that certain 2007 anime for Dororo?

So... apparently, Dororo (2007) is a Japanese live-action movie. The question is still valid though as a media comparison between the original manga, the 2007 live-action movie, and the 2019 anime remake.

Ah, I see. After reading about it, seems like it has other major deviations from the original storyline. Seems to be a common trend on anime/manga live-action adaptations.

I'm seeing it now. It has several differences. Dororo in one is a kid, in the other almost an adult woman. Hyakkimaru recognizes she's a woman from the start. The way his body parts are created is different. The relation between the monk and Hyakkimaru is different. I guess too much adaptation for the big screen for my taste.

So... looks like you edited the year from 2007 to 1969. Could you really clarify which version do you want to compare? As of current, your edit may invalidate the current answer for 2007, when you ask for 1969.

1969, already edited.

Ok, so I've just watched. This is just like what happened with many other anime adaptations to the big screen / live action. See Dragon Ball Z into Dragon Ball Evolution for example. They take "creative freedom" when they adapt the story and they change a lot of things. The original creator is mentioned because his story is the base for the adaptation, but the screenwriters are different.
The 2007 live action has a lot of things different to the original anime.

 Dororo is an old teen not a kid like in the anime. Dororo's name is given by Hyakkimaru. This doesnt happen neither iin the 2019 nor in the 1969 anime. The way Hyakkimaru's body is rebuilt by his adoptive father is different.

etc

Another example of a really drastic change is in Attack on Titan's live-action films. I would not recommend watching this one, especially if you read the manga or watched the anime first.

Well, just a common case in this industry anime right?

In the past, did Goblin Slayer rescue Sword Maiden?
As you see below this picture, it was on chapter 29 where Goblin Slayer and Sword Maiden meet to together and then the Sword Maiden seems like have a flashback and see Goblin Slayer as below this picture. (A helmet with a horn.)

And I found that the first equipment that Goblin Slayer equip also have a similar like that above picture. (*Have the horn.) Here's the first equipment that Goblin Slayer wearing.

So in the old time when sword maiden get humiliate by the goblins, did Goblin Slayer save the Sword Maiden?

Goblin Slayer has been an active adventurer for 5 years at the beginning of the story. Sword Maiden defeated the Demon Lord with the Heroes and became gold-rank 10 years prior to the events of vol. 2. So, for Sword Maiden to be captured and then saved by Goblin Slayer, it would have happened way after she's famous as a gold-rank adventurer. I don't think it's been explicitly revealed WHEN was she captured, but I find it hard to believe it happened after defeating the Demon Lord, so the one who saved her was probably not Goblin Slayer.

I think this makes sense, unless, of course, she was not saved but escaped. I recall the wikia mentioning she escaped but there were no citations so I'm not sure where that info comes from. This would then add a question as to what the flashback means...

I don't believe so, the timeline doesn't quite match up. Given how Sword Maiden can still see but everything is fuzzy to her, this image could be the way she perceives Goblin Slayer. Note how he looks much more heroic, his armor is cleaner and more in line with the classic Knight in Shining Armor.

What is the song playing during Midorya and Bakugo's fight?
What is the song playing when Midorya and Bakugo are fighting. The instant Midorya punches Bakugo's face really hard near the end of their fight.
It's season 3 episode 61. Where Midorya punches bakugo in the face but bakugo grabs his arm and propels them to the ground.

Its name is United States of Smash, although the one used in Bakugo and Midoriya's fight is just a small part of the complete original track.

Is Hisoka basically immortal?
In "Hisoka vs Chrollo", Hisoka lost the challenge, his legs and hands, and also his life as well. But after a moment, he came back alive and with his other body parts.(regenerate with rubber body)
So my question are:

Does other Nen user have this ability too? (I mean get killed and then retrieved by Nen just like Hisoka. )

Wasn't how he did that explained or shown in the manga? AFAIK, it was shown. I forgot some parts on how but it was definitely explained in the manga.

@W.Are the relevant chapter should be chapter 357

@AkiTanaka Is it only Hisoka be able to use that skill?

If you're referring to his abilities (Bungee Gum and Texture Surprise), then yes, he is the only one able to do that, if I recall correctly.

Those who have been following the manga into the Dark Continent ark will already know the answer:in Chapter 373, Prince Camilla's nen ability allows her to be revived after death in return for the life of the the attacker.
A related and slightly more interesting discussion might be whether this was plausible given the information we had on nen pre-Camilla. The idea of nen getting stronger after death is introduced in Chapter 120, in the Yorknew Arc. From the wiki

The most common reason for this phenomenon to occur is the ability of
  the dying user while harboring a strong grudge will cause their Nen to
  seek out the object of their hatred and cling to it

We've been told that post-mortem nen is stronger that usual nen, but that doesn't necessarily mean it can do all the sophisticated things that a nen-user can manage when alive with a functioning brain. However, there's strong evidence to suggest that post-mortem nen can carry out everything the nen-user could pre-program when alive.
On a fairly basic level, the Phantom Troupe were worried about Kurapika's nen going to Chrollo and potentially killing him. There are two ways I can envisage this happening. Firstly, there's also a risk from the nen itself; we learn in Chapter 48 that just sending nen into someone not protected by their own nen is enough to break them into bits. Secondly, the chain around his heart could be activated by the post-mortem nen. However this would mean Kurapika's nen activated without Chrollo necessarily breaking the rules, so the post-mortem nen is not following the original rules (we see in Chapter 352 that this is possible but with a bit of a complicated mess with mixing abilities). So we see Kurapika's hypothetical post-mortem nen doing two things 1) moving to a different location or 2) activating an already implemented ability.
Of these two, its mainly the latter that we see later. In Chapter 307 Pitou's post-mortem nen ability moves Pitou's corpse in order to kill Gon. Note that Pitou had already implemented his ability onto himself and Pitou's ability was already able to move corpses. Now to Chapter 356/357, Hisoka is able to program his post-mortem nen to beat his heart and lungs after death. It's debatable whether he already had the ability to program his bungee gums to activate at certain times without his input, but it's certainly plausible. In either case, it doesn't hurt our argument that post-mortem nen can do everything it's original user could program it to do.
So we've seen that post-mortem nen can be programmed (and we've seen pretty sophisticated programming going into nen abilities - Bomber for example). Now nen can do pretty much anything plausible in universe for the right price. So there are two questions remaining: 1) is coming back to life allowed in the world of HxH? 2) what would the price be?
Just to emphasise that this isn't stupidly obvious from our previous discussion; whether Hisoka actually died in the sense that his brain stopped functioning completely is arguably ambiguous; one can go a fair amount of time with your heart stopped before you die and as this is HxH world, we can assume everyone is a little superhuman.
I think what appears to be an unrelated fact is relevant here: the Chimera ants and the memories of their 'previous life'. Scientifically, I'm fairly certain there is no way that a mushed up mix of brain and genes can retain lifetimes of memories (but I'm no expert here) and Togashi even refers to the soul in Chapter 337 to explain this:

The soul is probably small, but it has the energy to reincarnate itself

So reincarnation with memories is possible in HxH canon. It doesn't take a big leap to say that revivification is possible, as long as the body is intact, as required.
To summarise, post-mortem nen can do what you program it to, nen can do pretty much anything that is allowed in universe and revivification is plausible. As for the price - who knows - anything goes really when you ask what balances out with bringing somebody back to life, from 'life is priceless' (e.g. FMA) to 'life for a life'. But revivification nen abilities are cool, bring an interesting dimension to nen fights, and HxH is written by Togashi, so perhaps a Prince Camilla type nen ability is to be expected.

Why do some summons have forehead protector while most of others don't?
These are all summons with forehead protector that I can find, it's quite rare among the summons. For example, Sannin's summons, Inuzuka Clan's Ninkens and the Ninnekos don't have forehead protectors.
Are the headbands are overall just for decoration purpose for the summons?
Weren't forehead protectors are worn by most Shinobi since the summons are technically mini ninjas?
Kakashi's and Guy's summons:

Konohamaru's summons:

Hiruzen's (Third hokage) summons:

Forehead Protector in Naruto shows the symbol of Ninja's hidden village and his loyalty towards it.
Similar can be assumed with Summoned animals, Summoned Animals with Summoned animals with  forehead protector seems to be loyal to one village only.
Even naruto.wikia.com speculated the same :

Summons may also wear a forehead protector, suggesting a loyalty to
  only one village.

Why others don't wear it? They are loyal to the village.

@HappyFace They are loyal to summoner not there village.

Seems reasonable..

One example are the Toads. Gambabunta is loyal to those who are proven worthy, which is only a rare amount of people I'm sure.  The toads are their own entities, just like the Snakes of Orochimaru, or the Slug of the 5th.  Some of the summons might be passed down from Shinobi of the Fire, but it could be that throughout the ages, certain groups didn't have ties.

Some don't wear a headband as well, because they too large, example being the giant clam that the 2nd mizukage summons. Because the clam is to large it has the villages insignia carved into its shell. Or in an opposite case the animal path pain, several summons being too large and only loyal to pain.

What is the logic behind releasing manga before anime?
Manga and anime both are same story, then why do they still release the manga?
My reasoning:

Manga readers think that they already know the story, so they don't need to watch the anime (anime viewers will drop)
Anime watchers don't want to read the manga (manga readers will drop)

What I am thinking is, once manga is adopted to an anime, they don't need to publish manga.

Related: Why do anime have manga adaptations? Why don't authors just focus on one medium at a time?, Why don't anime shows finish the manga?

i read that  post before put this question, in my opinion both questions are different..

That's why Aki wrote these other questions are "related", not "duplicate". That means you'll find interesting information about the topic of your question there, not the actual answer.

You may as well ask "Why did JK Rowling keep writing Harry Potter books when the movies started coming out?". Different markets, different timing, and people definitely spent lots of money on both.

There are some anime original series but we'll focus on those that were based on manga.
Manga is released before an anime because an anime is an adaptation of the manga. Look here, if we do as you say and stop publishing manga the moment an anime series is started, then how are the animation team supposed to continue the story? Their script and everything that happens in the anime is based on what happens in the manga. Writing a script is not the same as making a manga. A mangaka is not the same as a scriptwriter.
Second, the source material do not adjust for its anime. Rather, the anime adjusts for its source material. There are anime that did not get enough episodes or whose next seasons were delayed because it was catching up to the manga. A good example is Attack on Titan. Here, the mangaka was not forced to speed up release to continue the anime. Rather, they waited for Isayama's story to develop. In Tokyo Ghoul, the second season had a different ending but this did not affect nor force the mangaka to change or adjust his manga's ending or sequel.
Third, I don't get the point of the mangaka being forced to stop publishing their story once it gets an anime adaptation. A manga or light novel being adapted to an anime is usually an indicator that the series is popular. All the more reason for them to continue the manga and maintain the readers' interests as this would contribute to its chances getting another season if it remains popular. Also, I highly doubt that publishers would allow a popular series to stop publishing just because it's getting an anime adaptation. That would drive away consumers which is kind of counter-intuitive.

Somewhat related to your answer: https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/2351/has-an-anime-ever-come-out-before-the-manga-was-published

@Dimitrimx Thanks for the info! I structured my answer to focus on those anime based on manga since this is what the OP seems to have a problem on. Nevertheless, yes, it is worth noting that there are times when a manga is based on an anime because the anime came first.

Also, manga is a much bigger business in Japan than it is in the West, so to some extent the anime could be considered a promotion to help sell more of the manga rather than it being the primary medium.

Why didn't Kakyoin use his stand to communicate Dio's secret?
In s02e46 Dio's World, Part 2 when, Dio mortally wounds Kakyoin and Kakyoin realizes his stand's power, why did he use Emerald Splash, knowing that the effort would immediately kill him? Granted he was mortally wounded, yeah, he didn't have much to lose, but wouldn't it be easier to simply communicate to Joseph via their stands?
It would a) obviously be less cryptic and b) require even less effort, because they seem to have been communicating through stands during battles and also wounded.
Therefore, why did he not explicitly tell Joseph about Dio's power and instead used Emerald Splash to crush the clock?

"communicate to Joseph vie their stands" I'm not quite sure how you think this would work? These stands aren't exactly know for their range or talking skills.

This feature was first introduced in SC ep6, where Jotaro and Tennille (fake captain) were able to communicate underwater through their stands. Presumably, this feature doesnt depend on stand range and/or talking skills since Jotaro was able to talk to Tennille while being some distance away in the whirl. Later in eps 23-24 when fighting with High Priestess, they communicate via their stands again while being underwater

Realistically, it's much more interesting to see Kakyoin use his signature move one last time to reveal the secret behind DIO's stand. It would be less exciting to just have Hierophant Green slither over to Joseph and just speak to him. Plus, Kakyoin hardly had the strength to manifest Hierophant Green and perform his final Emerald Splash.
But you can also consider that DIO didn't want them to know that The World can stop time. He is more powerful if he knows their abilities but they don't know his. By using the Emerald Splash to destroy the clock-face, symbolizing the stopping of time, Kakyoin is able to tell Joseph about DIO's stand without DIO catching on. To DIO, it just looks like Kakyoin was trying to "go out with a bang," but Joseph knows Kakyoin personally, and realizes that he wouldn't do something so pointless.

Because they were too far away, and as far as we know, Stand's speech works like regular speech, and they can't just talk to each other from far away.

Does it though? They did talk to each other while a) underwater and b) being inside the whirl and simultaneously underwater, as I mentioned in the comment to the question. Doesn’t really seem like regular speech

@NikitaNeganov I clarified: regular in terms distance, as far as far we know. Otherwise, Polenereff and Jotaro would have spoke while they were searching for the arrows in between Parts 3-4.

Why was Hendrick so powerful in grey demon state?
In later seasons we learn that

Meliodas's power level is ~3370, and all the Sins's powers are above 3k, while Gilthunder and Howzer are somewhat below 2000
Grey and red demons are inferior demons, unlike superior Ten Commandments, Chandler, Cusack and other powerful demons. Basically, both of these types are somewhat like privates
In season 2, Gil, Howser and Griamore (with combined power < 6000) successfully hold their own against a full-scale grey demon until Hedrick defeats him with his druid power.
Also in later seasons other knights pretty much manage to fight armies consisting of the same red and grey demons, which points that these demons are not super tough like Commandments.

Based on all this stuff, how come Hendrick (who is basically a human under a spell with demon blood) was powerful enough, that 5 out of 7 Sins (with combined power of somewhat like 3k * 5 members = 15k) and a buttload of knights weren't even able to properly fight him and were massively killed?
I'm looking for an in-universe explanation, out-of-universe he's got plot armor

Who is the yellow-haired character in opening of Midnight Occult Civil Servants?
I recently watched the series Midnight Occult Civil Servants (Mayonaka no Okaruto) on Crunchyroll.  The opening includes several seconds of a yellow-haired character who did not appear in the anime.

You can see sort of a ribbon of sand floating at his eye line.  The main character, a reincarnated high spiritual power human with red hair, has a gift to understand and speak in Yokai languages, called Ears of Sand.  My guess is the yellow- and red-haired guys are somehow related.  My guess is that the yellow-haired dude is from further in the manga than the anime goes.  Who is he?

Haven't watched the anime but taking a look at the art from the manga volume covers, to me it looks like an artistic preference in the color used in the opening scene rather than a new character.
Here's a comparison of the anime and the manga covers:

This is especially noticeable in Volume 3's cover. There's no green-haired character yet the cover art and the opening sequence also features the characters with green hairs and an overall color of green (not sure what term this is called in art). This leads to me to conclude that the opening scene you see was probably trying to copy the volume's majority of one color in the art in the scenes it portrays.
That said, I think that's the red-haired guy, Miyako Arata, if I'm correct.

I guess it probably is Arata.  I'm very used to hair color being used to help distinguish characters in an anime, so giving him different hair color for part of the opening confused me.

How strong is Mezo Shoji?
According to the official character book, Shoji has a power of "5/5". I don't know what exactly the power means for all character? But for a character who doesn't have any emitter ability, I guess it has to be related to strength, yet Shoji as far as I remember is never shown to be as strong as many other characters. Other character like Rikido Sato, who can increase his strength to five times and can destroy walls with it, it's rated  "4/5". My question is, does Shoji have some level of superhuman strength or what power he has that justify his "5/5" rating of power in the official character book?

Right taking into account what Merlyn said aka that shouji in grip strength measures 540 kgs. Just to give  you a reminder, the force that is needed to crush a human skull is 235 kg, so Shouji could potentially break all the bones in your body with relative ease, so yes he absolutely deserves the 5/5 scoring in power.

You don't have to have a superpower to be super in My Hero Academia world. Just look at Eraserhead or Stain. Neither of them have power related quirks, yet both are extremely tough in physical combat. Shoji is like that. Keep in mind that he placed 6th in the Physical fitness test despite his quirk doing very little to enhance physical capabilities.

Ok, I found an accurate answer for this. In episode 5 of season 1 they make a test of strenght and Shoji measures 540 kgs in the test by pressuring with his hand in a device with 3 hands.

Why Oreimo changed the actual brand name in Akihabara
In the anime, primarily ep2 when Kirino first come to Akihabara, I noticed many of the brand name or billboard was altered, リバティー/Liberty was changed into ワバチィー/wabaty, タカラダ/Takarada to タカダ/Takada, ガシャポン to ガチャポン, Laox to Taox, Labi to Labla, Gee! to Guu!, McDonald's to McDoneld's etc.

I wonder why they made such changes. They could have kept all the brand and billboard the same as they are in real life, but instead, they made so many subtle changes (while the maid cafe remains almost entirely intact).
Since many of these easter eggs are placed in a very obvious position, and animating such a complicated background asks a large amount of effort. I don't really believe these are purely the animator having fun. Are there any other reasons? Like copyright or advertising?

P.S. I am asking this for my essay, so please do think of it
P.P.S. image retrieved from this website.
P.P.P.S. feel free to leave any other thoughts about this

You might want to read using trade marks in films Might not directly be a answer, but it's very much related.

@Dimitrimx this is definitely something I should consider, thank you!

TV Tropes has an entire page dedicated to this phenomenon: Bland-Name Product.

Replacing brand names is a fairly common phenomenon in media. As Dimitri mx mentions, this is probably because the studios want to avoid using trademarks to play it safe. This is why parody names like "WcDonalds" and "EcDonalds" are so common in anime.
Toradora casts a snarky lampshade on this practice:

Sometimes the anime actually does use the real names, if they get the product placement properly arranged behind the scenes. For example, this was the case with Pizza Hut in Code Geass. (Hence the "Pizza Hut supports the Rebellion" memes.) For more detail, see Have there been any anime with actual product placement?
However, taking the steps to formally arrange this kind of thing requires more effort and comes with more risk, so I can see why anime productions tend to go with the less risky parody names.
For example, consider High Score Girl. This manga got into legal trouble because it directly featured lots of 90s video game content, even though its publisher, Square Enix, took steps to secure formal consent for the use of the games' characters from the various companies. In 2014, SNK Playmore launched an IP violation claim against Square Enix because of this manga, which resulted in the recall of all the volume and digital publications of the manga. It took about a year before the two parties reached a settlement and the lawsuit was withdrawn.
This case had more to do with copyright than trademark, but it's still a good example of the kind of trouble that could come arise if you're not careful enough with handling the intellectual property of others... High Score Girl really did include a lot of stuff though, so this was a particularly complex case. For reference, here's the copyright notice in volume 1 of the manga:

So many...

That is incredible! But also made me thinking: if an anime contains bland-name and actual name at the same time, does that means the actual name indicates (or very likely) a partnership between the product and the anime?

Probably, or else they're poking fun of the practice like in Toradora. Is there such an instance?

@ConMan Yes, right in Oreimo: the Cure Maid Cafe. The billboard made no changes in brand name, and the leaflet closeup is using the actual location of Cure Maid Cafe.

How much of a Devil Fruit must be consumed to gain the power?
To get the devil fruit power is it necessary to eat the whole devil fruit? What if one person eats half and some other person eats the rest? Will both of them get the devil fruit power?
I am currently on the Dressrosa Arc. So, please try to give a spoiler-free answer.

It is not necessary to eat the entire fruit. A single bite is enough for the consumer to obtain the power. Oda addressed this in Volume 77's SBS corner.

During the CP9 arc, Jabra also states that "one bite will leave you with a lifetime of problems", when warning Kalifa and Kaku about Devil Fruits.
If two people split the fruit and share it, the person who takes the first bite will obtain the power. This was illustrated with Ace's story on how he got the Flame-Flame Fruit.

No, its not necessary to eat all the fruit, if you eat just a piece you're gonna acquire its power.
And for the later question, the first who eat from the devil fruit acquire its power, so its pointless to share it with other if you have already eaten from it

Please include relevant sources/references. I'm also curious about this and that SBS is the only proof you have to validate your claim. Otherwise, your answer might be removed by mods or flagged by other users.

You can find the proof on SBS 48 & 77

Including the actual SBS information and the link instead of just mentioning it would be preferable so if in case the link would go down, the information is still visible to viewers of this answer.

Can more than one person have the same devil fruit power?
How come in the island Amazon Lily, the snake princess's sisters have the same devil fruit power?
Since only one person can have any given devil fruit power at a time, does it have to do with blood line or something?

They have similar fruits but not the same.
Boa Marigold has the Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: King Cobra.
Boa Sandersonia has the Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Anaconda.

A majority of the Zoan Devil Fruits also come in different "models" that result in variations of the animal. For example, the Inu Inu (Dog) Fruit has Jackal, Dachshund, and Wolf models, the Ushi Ushi (Bull or Cow) Fruit has Bison and Giraffe models, and the Hebi Hebi (snake) has Anaconda and King Cobra models.

Source

It has been stated multiple times more than one Devil Fruit cannot exist at the same time. The fruit grows again after the user dies. Any fruit that seems as though it already exists is just a very similar fruit but not the same one.

Hi simonee, welcome on SE! Citations and references to back up your words are always very welcome.

Fairy tail wizard Myatogan's source of magic
I was watching Fairytail and couldn't get my head around a query.
Mystogan is originally from Edolas and as mentioned humans in Edolas don't bear any magic within. However, Mystogan seems to be extremely strong and is capable of generating a lot of magical power. Where does he get this magic from? Shouldn't he be just capable of using magical objects rather than actually using magic from within?

Like every other person from Edolas, Mystogan does not have innate magic. If he did, he would have been expelled from Edolas like the Exceed were. Instead, he gets his magic power from magic items, primarily the large number of staves he carries on his back. It is possible that he obtains these items from Earthland magic shops, however three things point to this not being the case:

The magic shop we see in the first episode only carries novelties, such as something to change the color of clothing. There are powerful lacrimas later in the series, so we can't draw a definite conclusion on whether the shops would have the powerful sort of things Mystogan uses.
Edolas's magic items are more advanced than Earthland's. When Natsu's group went to Edolas, they marveled at some of the things they saw and mentioned this. Edolas even has a mechanized dragon.
Mystogan's magic pills. These unusual pills allow Earthlanders to use their magic in Edolas. There wouldn't seem to be a reason for these to even exist in Earthland, so it would be strange if shops were selling them.

These three reasons lend support to the idea that Mystogan at least partially creates his magic items himself using his Edolas knowledge. And if this is the case, it might explain why his magic power is so great even though he has no innate magic.
On the other hand, Jellal was able to imitate Mystogan's magic at the Grand Magic Games, so maybe one can obtain those magic items in Earth Land. Though if so, it begs the question why there aren't more S-class wizards. Jellal's imitation could possibly be explained by Earthland's magic advancing in the seven years, or by Jellal somehow obtaining the staves used by Mystogan.

Oh. Nicely put. This is what bothers me too. If he is capable of magic objects so powerful, he could share hia knowledge ao that there would be more s class wizards.

Why did Goku/Vegeta not recognise Broly?
In the new movie, why were both Vegeta and Goku unaware of Broly. They didn't recognise him even though Goku/Vegeta had fought Broly a long time ago. Feel free to add/edit information.

This question is related.

They didnt recognize him because the former Broly movies were non-canon (not written by Akira Toriyama but by Toei animation) so they dont follow exactly the same timeline-continuity. In the new Broly movie story, Goku and Vegeta never met Broly before, the events of the 3 former movies never happened. Besides this Broly is supposed to have a different personality than the former Broly, who was pure evil who wanted to destroy everything and this is somehow a good guy.

What’s the song of Nanatsu no Taizai season 1 episode 18 remaining 2:56 minutes?
There's a song in season 1 episode 18 of *Nanatsu no Taizai and it’s when King protects Diane from Helbram attack and seconds after the captain said to Ban that Kings power was growing in incredible amount remaining 2:56 of the episode
What is the name of the song?

By "remaining 2:56", did you mean the song starts from 2:56, or around 21-minute timemark? Could you also provide the relevant scene to make it easier to identify? (you can [edit] and improve your post)

Add a link would be better...

Yes it’s when King chastiful protects Diane from Helbrams attack when Meliodas said to Ban that “Just when Gowther and Dianes power started to fade I can scenes that King was growing to incredible amount”

It’s when King protects Diane from Helbram using Chastiful

It is called Rgs-7 :Zai by Hiroyuki Sawano. It is the 14th track from The Seven Deadly Sins (Original Soundtrack) 2.

Why does Paragus look younger in DBZ Legendary SSJ compared to DBS Broly
Like if you watched the old Broly (the first one) He looked way younger, and in the DBS version he looks very old. So does that mean Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo and Trunks minds where whipped clean?

https://www.polygon.com/2018/7/10/17550980/broly-canon-dragon-ball-super-z-movie-legendary-super-saiyan

Because of his limited appearances, fans have debated if Broly can be considered part of the larger Dragon Ball canon for years. But in a note on the Dragon Ball Super: Broly website, series creator Akira Toriyama said he worked to fit Broly into the Dragon Ball universe.

Hopefully that links confirms that Broly is canon now. The movie basically retcons Broly's origin. That's why his father looks older and different than in the DBZ Movie.

The only thing that confuses me. then why come out with the other 3 movies, The legendary super saiyan, bio Broly and Broly second coming. its like seeing Hitler in the Gogeta move (the first appearance of Gogeta in a movie)

Broly - Legendary Super Saiyan came out in 1993. That's over 20 years between that and DBS: Broly. Its safe to say that there's a newer generation of fans. And it might not be viable for fans to go back and watch the entire DBZ series and be confused when the story doesn't line up with the movies. I think only a handful of movies are actually canon to the series. If that makes sense? Hopefully?

Thanks, Im not that confused that much anymore, But like I said the movies are weird with "CANNON" And "NOT CANNON"

Agreed. I do respect the fact that they're trying to bring back old favorites to try and refresh the series again.

I think Toei wanted to distinguish between the canon and noncanon versions of Paragus so fans don't get confused when making fanart. As Gary said, you really shouldn't think of these two characters as existing in a uniform timeline and universe as one is canon and the other is noncanon to Dragon Ball.

The Paragus from the old Broly movie is not canon while the Paragus from Dragon Ball Super Broly is. They are 2 separate characters and you shouldn't establish any form of relations between the two.

How did Japonism, if at all, affect manga/anime?
While researching my own question How important was the invention of blue towards anime?, I landed relatively quickly on Hokusai, which was one of the key instigators of Japonisme.

Japonisme, is the study of Japanese art and artistic talent. Japonisme affected fine arts, sculpture, architecture, performing arts and decorative arts throughout Western culture

Although Japonisme mainly influenced the European art, it also had an effect on the Japanese art scene.
So did Japonisme also lead to, or influence the creation of manga/anime as we know it nowadays?

Japonism, or as the French refer to it, japonisme, refers to the incorporation of either iconography or concepts of Japanese art into European art and design. Much of Hokusai’s popular acclaim in the west is thanks his 15-volume illustrated series called "Hokusai Manga" . In the west, it started this japonism craze and gave more or less birth the name to a early concept of we now know as manga. So is not so much japonism influenced manga, but rather gave exposure to pre-war manga in the west, influencing various art movements in that era, imo.

This is more so in scope as an art history question than one specifically about pre-war manga imo.

Short answer is no. Beyond making the world aware of the early, pre-war concept of manga, there is little to nothing to do with modern post-war manga. The influences are just a footnote in history in terms of European art movements.
Post-war manga we know as manga today is starkly different from  the prototypical  manga of the type, such a the compiled work of Hokusa Manga.

What song plays at 1:21:01 in the movie "Futari no Hero" ("Two Heroes")?
In My Hero Academia: Two Heroes movie, at 1:21:01 when the other kids arrive and start attacking the villain, a certain song is played from the time

 Bakugo says "What are you doing getting all beat up by such a damn lame last boss?" until the villain tangles All Might (practically during the time All Might goes Plus Ultra).

As far as I know, the song is not even included in the movie's OST discs.
Does anyone know what the name of that song is?

The name of the Song is "Here" By Yuly

That's the one, thanks! (Although I'm confused why they used a track from S2's OST but didn't include it in the movie's)

Can anybody please provide me with a list of the characters and their corresponding handles from Durarara!! & Durarara!! ×2?
I was wondering if anybody has a list of the characters spanning both the anime version of "Durarara!!" and the anime version of "Durarara!! ×2", along with each character's corresponding online handle (for the chatroom, AND for the Dollars website for the characters it applies to) ? If a character from the anime doesn't have an online handle, then please include them in the list without a handle by their real name. A nicely organized list format would be most appreciated, if it's not too much trouble.  It would also be greatly appreciated if you were to state the colour of each character's handle next to it as well (I have difficulty reading kanji, so it's easy for me to lose track of who's who when they don't say each other's handle), please and thank you. Lastly, if you could please also state the character's colour gang affiliation (as well as if they were possessed by Saika) beside their name where applicable (except for any who are in the dollars, as that will already be taken care of in the above-mentioned Dollars site handle part of the list)? It'll really help me to be able to keep up with everything that goes on in the anime.
Here's an example of the sort of thing I'm looking for:
Mikado Ryuugamine - Chatroom Handle: TarouTanaka (田中太郎, Blue) - Dollars Handle: _______ (______, _____)
Masaomi Kida (Yellow Scarves) - Bacura (バキュラ, _____)

What order do the events from the "Inuyasha" series (movies included) occur in the timeline?
I'm wondering what order I should watch everything from the "Inuyasha" series in? I know there's the main series ("Inuyasha") to watch, but I don't know what point in the timeline the movies are supposed to take place. I also don't know if there's another series that continues on from the main series (kinda like how "Naruto Shippuden" continues on from the events in "Naruto"). Also, if there are any OVA episodes or specials in the series, could you please include them in the timeline as well?

All movies can be seen after they meet Sango.  There is no chronological order to see the movies except you see them as how they got released.
You can watch the movies with out any problem in the Inuyasha chronological order.  I guess after they meet Sango and she becomes another member of their gang,  and before the Inuyasha final season since some characters die in the last season and few of those do comeout in the movies, all 4 movies can be seen between those episodes. They are not canon so they do not affect the Inuyasha main story or are even mentioned in the series.

Higurashi Route Chapters
I was just wondering if the trend of the Higurashi Question Arcs having 12 chapters is continued throughout the Answer Arcs? I understand that the Question Arcs are overall longer but I'm not sure if this is a result of having more chapters in each game. Edit: I am referring to the Visual Novel series and the chapters contained with each game.

Unfortunately it's not clear what you are looking for an answer to. Are you referring to the franchise in general or something else that's more specific. Please edit your question to provide better context.

Can you release your zanpakuto if you are mute?
So, this sounds like a stupid question I know but in the bleachverse 'names' are very important and you can only unleash the power of your zanpakuto if you can call out its name. Therefore, if a shinigami is mute, will they ever be able to achieve shikai/bankai? If so then how? Only one case that I know of is for shinigamis who have already achieved bankai to be able to release their shikais without a command.
Answers based on LN are welcome, but if you are citing from a dubious source or a source whose canon status can be question, please specifically mention it. I am mostly interested in an answer based on a  canon source.

Not sure if this would just generate opinion-based answers because I cannot recall this ever happening in the manga. There is no way to know how unless the mangaka answered this question before or the manga depicts a mute shinigami or a shinigami releasing zanpakuto without any word.

@W.Are Kenpachi Zaraki released his bankai without calling out its name IIRC. There are also official/unofficial Bleach light novels out there, and for example, Kenpachi Azashiro seems to not know his shikai release name even though he achieved both shikai and bankai. Therefore, I believe there are enough materials out there to at least make a very educated guess that answers the OP's question.

@Gao I see. I'll retract my close vote. I knew there are LN's for Bleach (have not read them yet) but by unofficial light novels, what do you mean? Can it be considered canon?

I also haven't read any Bleach novels (and don't ever plan to), but by unofficial light novels,  I mean those not written (or co-authored) by Kubo Tite himself, but which may be endorsed by him. Those not endorsed by the author himself may not be considered canon, but the question didn't explicitly ask for canon sources.

@Gao Ah, okay. I, however, interpret the question as asking for the possibility within canon material. Although personally, I consider anything endorsed by the author, even if he did not write it, as canon so long as there are no inconsistencies. I guess I'll leave it up to the OP to clarify what he wants.

Clarified it in the comments

Do Arrancar count? Because Wonderweiss couldn't speak and performed Resurrecion just fine.

I think the Arrancars are a bit different anyways. Even Ulquiorra went to his second release before stating its name. I am mostly interested in an answer for Shinigamis

Updated answer with proof. Ichigo silently activates his bankai twice.

Yes.
Ichigo does it here when he fights Grimmjow

And again when he fights Ulquiorra for the first time in Las Noches

So yes, you can conclusively silently activate your Bankai.
The only other disability I can remember reading of, is Tosen's Blindness. Not only can he wield all of the blade's powers, but it actually adapts to him and his Bankai blinds (among other things) his opponents. No canon source can answer this question about a mute shinigami, none has ever been shown.
Names are important, yes, but it is more about knowing than actually yelling them. Otherwise, top-tier Shinigami fight strategies would be to silence your opponents.

Interesting. Completely missed this when I reread the manga. But what if you are born mute? Ichigo was able to say Zangetsu's name before but what if you are not able to say your Zanpakuto's name at all. Can you still release it? Is merely knowing a Zanpakuto's name enough to release it?

@W.Are We don't know that. I believe yes, and just like Tosen's blade adapted to his condition, a mute Shinigami's Asauchi would too. But it's just theories, we have no canon confirmation

Tokyo Ghoul Re: Anime what part in the manga?
I just finished Tokyo Ghoul: Re manga, and I'd like to know what part of the anime is already covered?

It covers everything but is rushed and there were chapters that were skipped. If you don't mind that, you can watch it without confusion since you already read the manga.

Okay actually I was looking forward to the anime because I didn't appreciate the manga. I wanted to watch it to understand the manga better. Based on what you said, it doesn't sound like I'll appreciate it more.

I apologize if I discouraged you from watching. You can try to, if you want. Personally, I don't like it but that's because of the skipped chapters and it feels rushed to me.

No worries! I was already skeptical of whichever studio who made the anime based on what I read about root A anime. I'll probably watch it in the future, but not really a priority I guess.

Since the fourth season, the anime covers all of the manga story (with a gap between seasons 3 and 4, on the other hand).

Could a student and a teacher that died in previous years be brought back at the same time because of the calamity of Class 3-3?

By logic, the curse was born when one particular person died, so the "extra" will be only one although multiple people can die in yearly cycle.

In Black Clover, how is Nero able to find the magic stones?
I have been watching Black Clover from the start and was interested in the bird (which later became his pet name Nero) from the start and followed him on his head from the time he joined the Black Bulls squad. I knew they said in the start of episodes that these type of birds stick to a person having low mana.
The bird Nero, seems to be able to point important things to Asta, like finding him the magic stone in an underwater temple and mostly helping him point to something important. My hypothesis is that he could have some sort of mystical powers to maybe.
How is the bird (Nero) able to point out important things to Asta?

Your hypothesis is in the right direction, though the powers don't seem to be very mystical, just unusual in his species.
Nero is of the species known as Anti-Birds which the wikia describes as:

Anti-birds are small birds that have black feathers on their back, wings, and around their face. Their faces have red feathers while their undersides have white feathers. Their beaks are black and they have a pair of feather that are shaped like downturned horns.
The Anti-birds are capable of sensing mana and will peck at those with low or no mana. Anti-birds will not approach anyone with high levels of mana and will become frightened when they get close to those with powerful mana

(emphasis mine)
The wikia entry for Nero lists this mana sensory ability as what allows him to detect magical items and and help them navigate toward a source of mana. This utilization of the mana detection seems to be unique to him, as the wikia also mentions the following ways in which Nero differs from usual anti-birds:

Nero is the only Anti-bird that has upturned horns and two tail feathers shaped like arrows

Currently only Nero is shown to be able to detect magic stones and Anti Magic weapons

As you can see, there's no clear confirmation or reason why Nero is different than the others, but we do know that he is the only one who can do this.

so then I guess we should have to wait and see if our hypothesis is right. Thanks for the info

Nero is a complete mystery. I believe he appeared in the second chapter hidden among all the anti-mana birds. He sometimes disappears so you need to keep an eye on him and where he heads to, its a mini game I'd like to call "Find Nero". In the previous arc he found Noelle who was stalking Asta and stayed with her at Rebecca's house, so he was never seen by Licht who might have known his secrets or his past. I'm pretty confident that Nero has a connection to Asta's grimoire and Licht's master here is my theory/speculation or what ever you'd like to call it.
Nero is defiantly not a normal bird and he seems like he knows the secrets of the stones. I think he is supposed to be a swallow so I searched swallows and found two interesting points. According to a site about tattoos in Greek and Roman mythology gods were able to change their form into a swallow and in Japan swallows represent unfaithfulness. I don't know if any of this is true or even relevant but it could support the idea of Nero being Licht's master. The people that were loved by mana were compared to gods and assuming Licht's master is just like Licht one of them, then we could also assume that he has a grudge against Clover for murdering his people so he could be Asta's enemy. Even though it would be a cool twist I don't believe Tabata would be allowed to make the story's mascot the possible end game villain. I think Nero is Licht's master's maybe magical pet and I think he'll be Asta's pet until the end. In Asta's earliest design you could see Nero with him and Asta's hair is designed as a nest for Nero. I think other than the possible importance of his past Nero's role other than be an extremely badass f*cking bird is transportation. Asta has 0 mana so he can't use a broom and he can't always depend on Finral's portal forever, so what if Nero's size could be changed or be controlled not only will he be a sick flying mount but he'll also be able to repay Asta for all the free rides he's been nicking.
Source - https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackClover/comments/4o0rip/so_whats_up_with_the_bird/

Actually Nero's real name is Secre. She was the servant of Lumiere. Lumiere was the first wizard king. Secre sealed Lumiere in stone on top that demon's head. I forgot why she sealed Lumiere though.

If you have seen the latest episode 103, you will notice Nero sitting a top of the church UNTIL Asta gets Licht's sword. Then he lands on his head. I think Nero is his spirit. I also think that Nero will be apart of him in more ways than one. I think he will be a ride, a fighting support and something totally different in the end. I have so many theories in my head now, I do know which direction to go.

Nero is a bird who senses magic but is also a human sealed away possibly has part of all the magic stones mana within her but nit to be told from where I stand.

Well, In the latest episode we learn that Nero is 500 years old.. That's around the time of the first wizard king and the fall of the elves.. I believe that Nero played a part in hiding the magic stones after what happened with the elves, just in case something like that happened again! I tried my best not to spoil anything, you find out everything that happened in the past in episode 181!

I think that Nero is the spirit just as sylph spirit Yuno has. Nero is the spirit of the demon that dwells inside Asta. If u watch the 3 episode you can see him when Asta is training in forest. He was with Asta since he got the grimoire.

Which Episode of Bleach is this quote from? / Help me cite this quote
I'm writing my dissertation and in the dedication I wanted to include this quote from the anime.
I wish I could have five lives!
Then I could have been born in five different towns,
and eaten five lifetime’s worth of food,
and had five different careers,
and... fallen in love with the same person, five times."
~ Inoue Orihime

However, in order to cite it correctly I believe I need to know the title of the episode and the date it aired. I can't seem to find this information anywhere, but I do know which book in the manga it comes from, Bleach manga; Chapter 237, pages 17-18. However I don't like that translation as much so I would prefer to cite the anime.
Bonus points will be awarded for providing the full citation as I'm a little shaky on that as well.
Edit: Thanks W. Are! You were spot on.
https://bleach.fandom.com/wiki/Goodbye...,_Kurosaki-kun

Assuming that it is indeed on Chapter 237, then the episode you are looking for is Episode 141 titled Goodbye..., Kurosaki! which originally aired on September 19, 2007 while the English version aired later on August 15, 2009.
For future reference, the Bleach wikia, and most of the anime wikia, usually includes the chapter and the corresponding episode based on it while the Wikipedia pages of anime usually includes the list of episodes together with their air dates.

Anime / manga genre structure from Wikipedia
I wonder is there an "official" list of anime / manga genres used in wikipedia that shows full genre structure with sub-categories. For example, in wikipedia you can find manga/anime articles with genre "mecha" that is a sub-category of "Science fiction" (for example, Code Geass) - described in animanga wiki page (parameter - genre).
There are forums (such as this) where people are suggesting anime websites, like Anime-Planet and MyAnimeList but in these sites you have general list of all genres without dividing them into sub-categories.
Edit based on first comment: "general genre page" - yes, i found that page and it was the best article that describes genres in general, but it's missing some genres that are used in anime/manga wikipedia articles (like, mecha, slice of life, harem, ...). And about "a series of categories that wikipedia uses" (found this page before) - firstly, categories does not divide or group into sub-categories, secondly, there is links to categories that are not divided by the definition of genre from info-boxes (many of them are, but in these category lists anime/manga are "maybe" added by article creators, not automatically by wikipedia system based on info-box genre value + there are many questionable manga/anime that are added into these "categories" - you can correct me on that if necessary).

did you try looking at the infobox on the anime page which not only has an expandable section on genre which links to a general genre page (not limited to just anime/manga) but also a series of categories that wikipedia uses (not as exhaustive as the previous one)

Based on Wikipedia's Manual of Style for Anime-and-Manga related articles, the categorization should be based on the existing genre list, and only the most specific one (For Code Geass, since it's under "SciFi - Mecha", it's only listed as "Mecha"). Other than that, we are probably not the best people to know about how Wikipedia structured their A&M genre. You might consider asking on their talk page instead...

Wikipedia is a community-built site, so the closest thing you can get to "official" are the policy pages, which are adopted based on community consensus. But even then, enforcement can be inconsistent and spotty, especially with the more obscure articles (which is why editors often dismiss the "Other stuff exists" argument as invalid).
So on a Wikipedia article, there are two main places where the anime/manga's genre can be specified:
1. The animanga infobox (at the top).
The Infobox animanga template has these guidelines for the genre field:

List more specific genres over general genres (ex. Mecha is a subgenre of Science fiction, therefore only Mecha should be listed instead of both). Genres should be based on what reliable sources list them and not on personal interpretations. If a genre cannot be cited to a reliable source, then it should not be listed.

The genres in the infobox depends a lot on what reliable sources characterize the anime/manga to be. Even if it seems very obvious to the common reader that the anime/manga is an instance of a specific genre, including it in the infobox is no good unless you can find a reliable source supporting it. (You may find some Wikipedia articles that have genres in the infobox that are unsourced, but shhhh, that's just the inconsistent enforcement thing from earlier.)
As a result, there isn't really a well-structured organizational hierarchy for the genres in the infobox. It's more like a mish-mash of what is considered to be a genre from various sources.
2. The article's categories (at the bottom).
Per Wikipedia 's Manual of Style for anime/manga-related articles, anime/manga articles are generally put into one or more subcategories of the three parent categories:

Category:Anime and manga by demographic
Category:Anime and manga by genre
Category:Anime and manga by topic

Editors are generally more lax with respect to verification requirements for categories (a category generally sticks around as long as it's at least somewhat apparent from the article content), but categories do get removed or challenged (e.g. using Template:Uncited category).
Again, Wikipedia is a community-built site, so there isn't necessarily a consistent scheme or structure to the genre hierarchy. The structure of the genre categories most likely took shape over numerous small changes by various passerby contributors. Additions or changes to categories are usually implemented boldly. Though larger or possibly controversial changes are typically posted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion first to solicit feedback or approval.
This noticeboard isn't as popular as the Articles for Deletion noticeboard by a longshot, but things typically get one or two responses here. As an example of the kind of discussions that can take place here, here's a fairly straightforward bulk category renaming proposal from 2018, which someone proposed so that the subcategories could have a more consistent naming scheme.

Thank you for your answer. You gave me really good information to rely on with future research. I guess one of the solutions would be to suggest as wikipedia signed user to construct some kind of "recomended genre structure for animanga portal" or something like that.

What are these "5 known flying devil fruits" and who are their current users?
Apart from the 5 known, did they discover new flying devil fruits?
Note: I'm only talking about the "real flying devil fruit". What I mean here by "real" is like Pel who can naturally fly unlike others who uses their creativity in order to "fly", example of this is

Flying devil fruits because of "Creativity" of user + Surroundings
These are fruits that can be flight-capable with some creativity of the user on using his devil fruit abilities and his surroundings

Ito ito no mi - Doflamingo

 By attaching string to the clouds

Zushi zushi no mi - Issho (aka Fujitora)

 By lifting the boulder while he is on top of it

Flying devil fruits because of "Creativity" of the user alone
I separated these fruits because I think there are debatable if real flying devil fruits or not. Listed here utilizes only their creativity in using their devil fruits abilities and not depending on their surroundings. What I mean here is that if you eat these fruits you will not immediately able to fly unlike the "real" ones, you need to think outside the box in order to fly. A great example of this is Gomu gomu no mi - Luffy.

Guru guru no mi - Buffalo

 Spins his hair like a propeller

Buki buki no mi - Baby 5

 Transform to a missile

Buku buku no mi - Charlotte Mont-d'Or

 Able to make books fly and use it as a foothold

Gomu gomu no mi - Monkey D. Luffy

 Using his gear fourth

Pell: You're lucky to see this. Only five flying devil fruits are known to exist

Maybe when Pell said this he is only referring to the Tori Tori no mi? After all, we already saw 5 kinds of this fruit, but the other one looks like not able to fly, the Tori tori no mi, Model: Albatros whose current user is Morgans. If this is true then maybe we can see another variant of this fruit that can fly in the future.
If not, then maybe the 5 known flying devil fruits are from the big shots like Marco, Kaido and others since these guys are famous in the world of one piece.
If that is still not the case, then maybe at the time that Pell said that then there are only 5 flying devil fruits listed in the "book of devil fruits" since we know that this book doesn't contain all the devil fruits as we saw in the Enies Lobby Arc when Kaku and Kalifa eat their "unknown" devil fruit at that time

Sources:
One Piece Wikia
Youtube Video about flying devil fruits

I would add Ace/Sabo's fruit since the way he uses it to propel himself is the same as Baby5 or Luffy and Laffite's power (if it is from a DF).

Nope, there are more than 5 DF users who can fly:

Doflamingo, who can fly using his DF by attaching his thread to a cloud
Gear 4 Luffy, who can fly using his elasticity according to Doflamingo
Marco, who uses his ancient DF to fly and kick Kizaru
Shiki, who had a DF called Fuwa Fuwa no Mi
Sabo
Caesar
Smoker
Kaidou, who can fly by changing his form using his mythical DF into a dragon

While this is debatable, I'm afraid this answer contemplates "the real Flying Devil Fruits" with "Devil Fruits that allows a side-effect of flying".

As per @AkiTanaka said, will you be able to categorize this list to "Flying Devil Fruits" and "Flying Devil Fruits because of creativity of user"? I just want to see if there is actually newly added to the "known 5 flying devil fruit"

That info (that Pell's statement was on Alabasta arc, which is in the past) is worthy to be mentioned on the answer, not on the comment.

What are these "5 known flying devil fruits" and who are their current users?

Without the creative ones, means without Smoker, Sabo and so on. Let's see how far we get.

the Falcon fruit of Pell
the phoenix fruit of Marco
the dragon fruit of Kaido
the snow fruit of Monet? She is a harpy after all, but could count as creative. (In this case not set yet)
??? (not set yet)

Now somebody who might have read more chapters than me, might feel free to edit the list.

Apart from the 5 known, did they discover new flying devil fruits?

Not directly discovered, but can be created: As it's stated, that there is a "book of devil fruits", only Vegapunks DFs could increase this number. Meaning: There are and will be only 5 real DF that can fly, without creativity of their user.

I don't think smoker is part of the "creative" ones since he only uses his devil fruit powers to fly

Pell was very likely referring to Tori Tori no Mi or Bird Bird Fruit, which has 5 known models so far.
Which are:

Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Falcon, consumed by Pell.
Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix, consumed by Marco.
Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Albatross, consumed by Morgans.
Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Eagle (non-canon), consumed by Buzz.
Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Nue (non-canon), consumed by Toratsugu.

Keeping in mind that Albatrosses are also able to fly, only that Morgan, the current user of the fruit, for some reason isn't able to.
Source
There's another fruit which also has capability to fly

Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pteranodon (canon), consumed by King
Uma Uma no Mi, Model: Pegasus (canon), consumed by Stronger

Though the other flying users so far, using their devil fruit powers with creativity to fly or seem like flying.

Logia: Most of logia users having elements having small or no mass like Fire or Smoke can't fly distances like a bird, but levitate given the nature of their fruits, with a few exceptions.

Moku Moku no Mi, Smoker, levitates
Mera Mera no Mi, Ace/Sabo, levitates
Goro Goro no Mi, Enel, levitates (translates to thunder but shown lighting , which doesn't go up, but down only, also points to his need for building a flying ship)
Yami Yami no Mi, Teach, levitates
Pika Pika no Mi, Borsalino (Kizaru), can fly (as light can travel long distances at the fastest speed known in physics, and earth isn't flat but a sphere, and human neurons speed can't keep up to speed of light, so he travels short distances only)
Susu Susu no Mi, Karasu, (flying is done using crow forms, to avoid the confusion, his fruit is of logia type of soot, but he transforms that black soot into form of crows, due to his name probably meaning Crow)
Uo Uo no Mi, Model:Seiryu (Azure Dragon), Kaidou, (flies by grabbing to flame clouds, not an inherent flying ability)
Mori Mori no Mi, Aramaki (Ryokugyu), (flies by transforming his plant like into forms like helicopters or other flying objects)

Paramecia: There are some Paramecia fruits which can be used creatively to fly or levitate.

Gomu Gomu no Mi, Luffy, flies/levitates by creating propulsion by springing his legs at high speeds.
Hana Hana no Mi, Nico Robin, can create several arms from her body like a flower and combining them to form wings.
Zushi Zushi no Mi, Issho, can levitate by altering the gravity of objects around him
Fuwa Fuwa no Mi, Shiki, can levitate using the telekinetic abilities of his fruit
Ito Ito no Mi, DoFlamingo, jumps by attaching strings to clouds (like Spider-man)
Soru Soru no Mi, Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom), can fly by giving souls to flying objects and using them

There are other characters in the anime who can fly due to their inherent forms, abilities or using technology like

Monet, form of harpy, with wings and talons (unrelated to her devil fruit)
King, of race Lunarian who have wings are able to fly (unrelated to his devil fruit)
Germa using flying suits
Cipher Pol and Sanji using Moonwalk ability, which is similar to jumping at high speed causing propulsion like in Luffy's case

These are few of the devil fruits and their abilities which I found creative, but there are more devil fruits which are canon and non-canon, and there can be more devil fruits created in future as well, given that devil fruits are the will of the people, as the will of the people change and their surrounding, new devil fruits can be born, like missile fruits, gun fruits and so on.

Why don't Evangelion Pilots need to pump the LCL out of their lungs after exiting an Eva Unit?
I just started watching Evangelion on Netflix and the series explained that pilots' lungs become filled with LCL when in the entry plug of an Eva Unit, allowing them to breath and sync with their units.
However, it never shows or explained why they don't need to pump the LCL back out of their lungs upon exiting a unit. Is it just implied? Do their bodies absorb the LCL through their lungs? Is it assumed they just cough it up? Is there an explanation that I am missing?
Please Note: I haven't finished watching all of Neon Genesis Evangelion, so if this is a major spoiler please warn me via comments and/or use Spoiler Markup.

How LCL is removed from the pilots' lungs is never shown or explained during the series, not sure of the manga. Interesting question, though; not something I ever really thought about after watching the series multiple times.

There has been some discussion of what happens to the LCL pumped into pilots on the EvaGeeks forum; I found threads from 2009 and 2014. (Needless to say, these contain spoilers for the series.)
It appears that there has never been an actual explanation for this. However, after reading another thread on LCL, I can make some guesses.

 In the thread, the user Tetsuo connects LCL to amniotic fluid. This connection follows naturally from how the Eva Units contain the souls of pilots' mothers. With this in mind, the question of what happens to the LCL after a pilot leaves the entry plug is somewhat equivalent to asking what happens to the amniotic fluid in which newborns were immersed in the womb.

 I still don't have an exact answer, but this should be a good starting point. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with child development, and I don't remember the details of the entry plug mechanism well enough to discuss how it connects to the womb, so I can't go into much more detail.

I think maybe LCL is absorbed into the body going by what happens during Third Impact. to quote the wiki (spoiler because it is end of the original anime series stuff)

 LCL shares similar properties with the hypothetical "primordial ooze" from which life on Earth first evolved. This is because non-Angel life on Earth actually originally evolved from the LCL spread by Lilith when she landed on Earth. During Third Impact, Lilith's Anti A.T. Field causes the A.T. Fields of human beings and all other Lilith-based life to collapse, reverting their bodies to puddles of LCL.

Source: LCL (6th paragraph)
in real life the human body can absorb water after it enters the body and in the first X-Men we see

 Senator Kelly's body de-molecularizes into water due to the unnatural mutation Magneto caused breaking down Kelly's cellular structure

so in a sense one could think of LCL like Water in that

 out bodies are made up from it but unlike water we do not require to consume LCL to live as everyone on the planet was effected by Third Impact, not just Eva Pilots and we can assume that everyone outside of NERV would have zero contact with LCL

Did Dragonball (1/Z/S) ever show the Z fighters getting ready for the day?
 It's almost a meaningless question, but I seem to recall such a scene but can't find it.
Edit: Just as regular people do. They tighten their belts, they get dressed (not showing everything of course), they have morning coffee, stuff like that...

Maybe it is during return of goku or freeza.

How far did Ash travel across Kanto in total?
I've been trying to find out how far Ash traveled across the Kanto region in the anime. But I haven't been able to find a good way to do so.
I wouldn't mind if reference to the game is required to get to a proper answer.

What kind of answer are you looking for - one in distance (km, mi) or in cities/landmarks visited?

To those who watched the anime, is it even possible to determine this? Could not recall there being a way to measure distance between towns/cities in the games,

Distance. I was thinking of converting building height in the games to building height in the anime and using that proportion on the tile equivalents to get the anime distance, but tracking that would be a large task for one person.

@W.Are Yes, roughly at least. The pokemon world reflects the real-world as depicted in the series several times. Most pokemon regions map 1-1 to specific regions in Japan as well. It would be quite the task to plot his whole trip, but not impossible. see also, bulbapedia

 Interesting question and strangely enough, I've been asked a variation of this question several years ago, and this is how I tried to estimate the size of the Pokemon World in the games at least. The biggest challenge would be to scale something in the Pokemon Universe to something in real life. An easy and trivial approach would be is to first, slice the picture into squares. Then, the obvious thing to do would be to look at the number of squares covered by a particular character or object that you have an accurate distance for, and then, it is simply a matter of converting those figures into the number of squares you have remaining. Now the question is to find that particular object or character. One interesting way of doing it, would be to use a Legendary Pokemon or some of the Pokemon that appear on the map like Poliwrath in Celadon City or Slowbro in Cerulean city. Since these pokemon have a fixed height, we could simply look at the number of squares they take up. Then we basically see the number of Slowbro or Polywrath we can Place on a map. An example would be something like, a Slowbro takes up 2*2 squares = 4 squares. Now suppose we can split Cerulean city into a 1000 squares, we can technically fit 250 Slowbros on the map.  Then we can simply multiply the distance with the final value you have. That said, the value would obviously be incredibly inaccurate. However, it is a decent enough strategy to accomplish the task at hand. However, your question with regard to the anime, would be impossible the answer because, in the anime, the map is obviously significantly more extended and has lots of new places which isn't present on the game maps. To top it off, the characters also get lost and take several detours to reach a particular destination and, since they do most of their traveling on foot, a huge chunk of their travels is often cut out or skipped until they reason a particular decision.

The games aren't the same as the anime. For instance, the Seafoam Islands are depicted as a beach resort. Your calculations couldn't account for this from games alone.

@Makoto I think I made that clear in my answer where I stated that the anime map was much more extended and had newer places. For example, there is the secret garden where Ash captured Bulbasaur which isn't in the games. OP in the comments talks about trying to use a Building size to estimate the size of a pokemon map. I suggested a better alternative.

Do you think that there would be a way to compare buildings and areas to account for that? Also, the detours might be able to be determined by looking at the starting point and destination and determining the only detour that they could have used, labelled or not.

@DeityofAutomation How exactly do you plan on using Buildings and areas to account for distance? There are several buildings of various sizes in each town. Plus, there are houses of varying sizes which he have no idea about. The only reasonably way I can think off, to estimate the distance traveled in the anime, would be, to study the script extensively and look for lines between characters where there is any mention of distance. So using that for measurement, you could try to approximate the distance covered during the rest of their travels.

One cannot translate game geometry into real world geometry, since it is intentionally deformed. Just compare the flowers to the trees to notice this.

What does the "S" stand for in s-rank or s-class?
I know that S rank/class is above the standard A-F ranks/classes. A-F are used because they're the first letters of the alphabet. Is there a reason S is used, and/or does it stand for something? Maybe super or superior?

I think instead of one-punch-man this can be under trope tag since this kind of ranking system is common in other anime/manga

Here is a related question on Arqade S.E.

There's really no mention about what it stands, as far as I can recall. In fact, S-rank is not only used in One Punch Man. Reading around some articles, it seems like most of them attribute the S-rank as having originated in Japan. The meaning of 'S', however, is still unknown and is subject to speculation.
From what I've read, however, it seems like there are two possibilities as to where it originated:

Japanese video games - there is a question about that in Arqade, with articles saying that it originated from Japanese videogames but it lacks citation, or rather, the sources the answer linked has no citations or references. A Reddit thread from a Japanese, however, provide games and manga from the 90's which uses S-rank. There is even mention of how concert seating ticket uses S-rank, too.

Now (2017), in Japan concert tickets are normally classified into "S席(=seat)" > "A席" > "B席". I googled and at least it had been used in 1972.

Japanese grading system - from the Reddit thread linked above, it was also mentioned that it's possible that it came from an early class ranking system in the 1910's. To quote:

I think "S席" may mean "Special Seat". In Japan at least 1910, "特等" grade was used for the top grade seats (http://parasiteeve2.blog65.fc2.com/blog-entry-1135.html). "特等" > "一等(first grade)" > "ニ等(second grade)", or "特等" > "普通(normal or basic)" were used past (these are also commonly used for seats grades even now). "特等" is abbreviation for "特別等級" = "Special Grade". So S may mean Special.

Other board discussions links school websites and other forums with users going to universities or schools which uses up to the S-rank grading systems (Source 1, Source 2) There is also a Wikipedia article that shows that S-rank is used, although rarely, in schools.
Most discussion about what the 'S' means are speculations, and they seem to center on the fact it could mean 'special' or 'super'.
As for One Punch Man, there is no official information as to what it means in Saitama's world, either. Based on what I was able to find, though, I think it does originate in the ranking system present in Japan and the mangaka might have based this one on that.

Per the "S" is derived from 秀 as per the Japanese grading system answer, it makes sense in the context of the Hero classes, as there are no heroes below C. If they were they'd be failures.

Which is the first D-Mail?
I think the common explanation for the shift in timelines is that "In episode 1, Okabe sends the 1st D-mail, changing the world to the Alpha world line where Kurisu lives instead of dying."
However, the mail Okabe sends is just an ordinary mail (have they even invented the D-Mail yet?), it is directed to Daru, and it only contains information from the past that anyone could have witnessed. How does this message turn into a D-Mail and tip off SERN?

(Answer edited to fit what was discussed in the comments as well)
TL;DR: Whether or not the message Okabe sent is a D-Mail isn't something he has control over, at least not at the beginning of the series. The conditions just happened to be right when he sent the message that ended up becoming the first D-Mail.
First condition/coincidence:
We are told early in the story that Daru was experimenting on the microwave, having his own cellphone wired to it instead of the dedicated one, when Okabe sent him the message. It is safe to assume that he was trying to get the microwave running with its door open, because it is one of the key conditions to sending a D-Mail (learnt in episode 3), and nothing would have happened otherwise.
It has been pointed out that Daru tells us about his experiments on the microwave in the second timeline, not in the first one, which is true. However, given that the first ever D-Mail was complete gibberish and was dismissed by Daru, we can speculate that the livelihood of the group was not impacted at all by it.
The only impact this D-Mail really had is:

The SERN caught on it, which eventually led to them developping a functionning time machine as well marking the start of the "Time War", and finally to Suzuha's abrupt landing on the rooftop of the conference center.

It would then be safe to assume that the group's actions, from the D-Mail being received and dismissed by Daru to Okabe wandering alone in the evacuated area, haven't been impacted at all and that therefore Daru has been conducting the same experiments on the microwave at around the same time in these two timelines.
This is only speculation, but it is realistic and coherent with the rest of the story.
Second condition/coincidence:
Later in the show you learn about the second conditon for sending D-Mails which explains why they can only be sent during a certain period of the day:

 The shop owner recently placed a cathode ray TV just in the right spot below their microwave. This is the reason why D-Mails weren't happening before, and can now only happen when the shop owner turns it on and it fires electrons into the microwave.

Since we assume that Daru was conducting experiments on the microwave around that time it is also safe to assume that the second condition was fulfilled, as otherwise Daru probably wouldn't have been conducting these experiments in the first place.

Isn't one condition to select a time, turn on the microwave, send during the discharge ... nothing of that happened.

We are only informed that Daru was "experimenting" things with his phone connected to the microwave when Okabe sent the first D-Mail. He may have tried to get the microwave to run with an open door (which is what is needed to send a D-Mail). The team finds out about leaving the door open in episode 3 but it is just likely to have happened sooner in the first timeline, when Daru was "experimenting" things.

Thanks for your answers! One more thing: the Daru of the "Kurisu lives" timeline said that he experimented, but shouldn't it be the Daru in the ep.1 timeline?

The two timelines early events unfolded quite similarly, as the first D-Mail wasn't impactful on the group (it was gibberish and Daru dismissed it). The only thing that changed is that the CERN caught on it and this led to Suzuha's machine "crashing" on the rooftop (which is why the streets are suddenly empty in this timeline, as people have been evacuated after the "satellite crash"). We can speculate that the group did pretty much everything the same during that first week (including going to the conference and experimenting on the microwave). It's only speculation but it feels coherent.

Are Midoriya and other quirkless people actually quirkless?
We all know Midoriya aka Deku born without quirk. But the first person who tells Deku that he's quirkless is this kindly looking doctor

We are all made to believe that Deku is quirkless by this doctor. Then later in the manga we finally get a little hint about this doctor, there's 1 doctor that are very similar, named Daruma Ujiko who is working for All for One.  https://bokunoheroacademia.fandom.com/wiki/Daruma_Ujiko
Is it possible that this Doctor stole Deku's quirk when he diagnosed our boy (related to All for One abbility)? My further question is, is it possible that actually all people in BNHA are born with quirk, but got stolen at young age by certain people and made to believe that they are quirkless?

That's a really interesting theory. You have my upvote. However, IIRC, this has not yet been confirmed by the manga.

Take note that the wiki does not acknowledge that he was the same doctor as Midoriya's when he was told he had no quirk (it was mentioned that his first manga appearance was only on Chapter 59. There are also some minute details that are different: the shape of his face, for example. Daruma has a much rounder face whereas this doctor has a pear-shaped face. Although, yes, it's also possible they are one and the same.

@W.Are yes you are right, the wiki says they are similar, so messed up lmao

If it's true, then it's probably something the manga is building up to, so no-one would know (except for the author).

I’ll wait for the manga to comment on Midoriya, but the other major “quirkless” character we are shown is the original One for All. He was All for One’s brother and thought to have no quirk. However, we soon find out that his quirk was one with no effect - the ability to transfer quirks. It requires the action of All for One forcibly transferring a quirk to him to manifest itself.
I believe that other quirkless people have similar quirks that don’t manifest because they don’t have the right stimuli.

Does this anime quirk have a name?
I've always liked this quirky anime technique, which was used in several anime around the 1990s and 2000s, but not THAT often. What is it called and how does it work?
How do you animate it and when does it get used?

I also found other examples

Are you referring to the Chibi style of drawing the characters smaller, or to the short clips which usually feature this style? The clips generally come during the middle (before and after ad breaks) or "In the next episode" segments of an episode.

@TheGamer007 as his title mentions "run" I assume he is talking about the feet turning into what seems like cloudy circles instead

@Dimitrimx ah, I completely misinterpreted that. Thanks.

is there a name for it?

you might want to also add what do you mean by "how does it work?" you mean how does it work being animated or how does the run work in real life?

It's most likely a mix of,

Human Hummingbird
Kewpie Doll Surprise
Wheel o' Feet
Floating Limbs
Possibly also Thundering Herd if you want to consider the background or context for the first image

Is there any more info

I doubt there is an actual name for this but it's likely a trope that derived from older manga works., most notably that of Fujio Akatsuka. It's best described as an "afterimage" of movement.

There are many names for such, like "ghost feet", but there's not any real agree upon terms for this trope.

From this book about super-deformed characters

WOW. Is that page online

What page are you referring to?

The one about that super-deformed run, can I find it anywhere?

To download, not really.

That's ok, I'll set up another bounty

I can't set up another bounty

Please use our meta site for such questions in the future. The faq on the main meta site covers your question on a second bounty https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/16065/how-does-the-bounty-system-work

I'll need 16 upvotes to get a better answer, but thank you for yours

Was Naori Uchiha the creator of Izanami?
During the fight between Itachi-Sasuke and Kabuto Yakushi, we learnt about Izanami and its origin. Itachi explained that Izanami was created to counter the effect of Izanagi by throwing the illusions of Izanagi in a loop. We also learnt that Izanagi was a powerful jutsu which was mostly abused by clansmen. We see in a flashback that there was a war between clan members where shinobis were fighting with each other and defeating them with Izanagi. The last survivor was Naka Uchiha who was confronted by another comrade, Naori Uchiha. She used Izanami on him and was able to help him realize his mistake and made him accept the fate. Naori broke the cast and she became blind for the rest of her life.
The question is did she learned a new jutsu just to break Izanagi? Did she learnt about Izanagi's loophole and created an ultimate jutsu to overcome Izanagi? Maybe she did, she was seeing everyone abusing Izanagi and so she created an even more powerful jutsu.

Although never explicitly mentioned here's a possible explanation. Before that however, there are a couple things to consider.

Firstly, the cost/consequence of using either technique leads the caster's sharingan to loose its light immidiately
Secondly, Both techniques enable users to change reality. In the case of Izanagi, the illusion is applied onto reality itself. While in the case of Izanami, the caster is able to put an individual in an almost sentient never ending illusion which becomes the reality of the opponent, continiously, until some trigger is met. (i.e the opponent either changes their ways or is trapped in an eternal loop)

Now the point I'm trying to make here is that I believe that the Izanami is a variation of the Izanagi which attempts to save a person by creating a repeating loop of specific events until some criteria is met. Thinking about it in the broad sense it still classifies as changing reality but only for the opponent because it will always work regardless of the opponents 5 senses, even if they know its an illusion.
So yea I believe she is the creator of Izanami, nevertheless, considering the similarities both have. It seems to me that she creatively used the Izanagi to such a degree that was completely unthought of (using it to help an individual change and thus creating a variation of the izanagi to stop the izanagi hence the izanami).

Can Byakugan/Rinnegan eyes be transplanted on non-Byakugan/Rinnegan users?
Title says it all. Byakugan, Sharingan and Rinnegan are considered the three great Dojutsus. We see that Sharingan eyes can be transplanted on non-Sharingan users as in the case of Obito's Sharingan being transplanted on Kakashi and Shishui's eyes on Danzo Shimura (albeit deceitfully), is it possible to transplant other Dojutsu eyes on non-Dojutsu users?
Dojutsu are considered kekkei genkai i.e. the powers are natural and in-born to members of a particular bloodline. Non-bloodline members can also obtain the powers of kekkei genkai but they have difficulty handling the powers(more chakra is consumed).If we consider dojutsu, Sharingan can be transplanted on both bloodline and non-bloodline members, is it possible for Byakugan and Rinnegan?
There was a previous question which discussed if Naruto can awaken Sharingan and Rinnegan since he is a reincarnation of some God where the answers proved he can't. If Naruto's eyes be replaced with Byakugan or Rinnegan eyes (direct transplantation), can he handle the powers? Is such transplantation possible?

Is it possible for Byakugan and Rinnegan?

Yes, it is possible to transplant a Byakugan eye. This has been shown in the series by the shinobi Ao. Unlike Kakashi and his Sharigan, Ao can active and deactived it at will.

unlike other dōjutsu that have been transplanted, Ao can activate and deactivate his Byakugan at will.

The Rinnegan can also be transplanted, as seen with both Nagato and Obito

If Naruto's eyes be replaced with Byakugan or Rinnegan eyes (direct transplantation), can he handle the powers?

The transplant is theorically possible, since transplants has been shown various times throughout the series. However, given how this is also not shown in the series, whether Naruto can handle the powers or not would be speculation and opinon-based until the writers decide to incorperate this.

What is the name of the garment worn by robbers in anime?
I have seen robbers wearing scarves that is tied to the nose and is carrying a huge bag on his back. This style is very common and is used to represent robbers as if it is a trope. If so, what is the name of the garment? Is it used for stealth purposes? I do not currently remember any scene but it sorts of looks like this:

That would be a tenugui (手拭い), a thin, often cotton towel used for wiping away sweat on hot days. Or drying hands after washing them. They are also used as a form of headgear or scarf on cold and hot days respectively. However as a headgear it's more often worn as a headband, as opposed to the image above.
In anime, this way of wearing a tenugui would fall under the trope of Stealth Clothing. Which points out that it originates from old Japanese romantic practices.

it is derived from ancient Japanese romantic practices. Young unmarried women were not to be too friendly with young men, and home visits at night were right out! So the young man would wear a handkerchief in the aforementioned manner

So yes, it traditionally has been used as a form of paper-thin disguise

Thank you for the answer. I did some research and found two reddit posts(here and here). It says "The bandana you are talking about is called a "hokkamuri". The stereo typical thieve you are talking about also always comes together with a "furoshiki", a big towel which is used to wrap around and carry things" and "The (typical) pattern is "Karakusa moyou(唐草模様)"".

Is this "trope" intentional in Haikyuu?
In Haikyuu, one will find scenes in which characters' faces affects the wires of net i.e the wires of the net fades out where the faces coincides. This is somewhat making the animation unrealistic. Is this intentional? Did the author intentionally faded out the wires? What advantages is it serving? For context, see this picture:

Yes this is done by the animators on purpose I believe. It's so the viewers can see the full extent of the facial expressions of the person behind the net. This actually happens very often in Haikyuu. If you notice the net isn't faded out over his whole head it's just faded out over his face. This makes sense because his hair doesn't really matter to the context or anything, but his facial expressions can tell us a lot. I don't think this makes it that unrealistic.
