What happened to Eren that made him unable to turn into a Titan in chapter 53 of the manga?
I am referring to when he has trouble turning into full-sized Titan after he underwent intelligence and endurance testing. It happened in chapter 53 of the series, during the Uprising Arc.
This is a quote from the Attack on Titan Wiki:

During an experiment to test Eren's hardening abilities, a severed Titan form of Eren falls to the ground. Hange is unable to get a response from him and because Levi notices that this Titan is underdeveloped, Mikasa and Hange remove Eren's body from the Titan. [...]. A day later, Eren finally wakes up. He doesn't seem to remember anything from the experiment and is upset to find out that there were no signs of the hardening ability. Hange explains that since Eren transformed without being able to employ the hardening ability, they decided to run intelligence and endurance tests. [...]. However, after one hour of testing, Eren suddenly, after writing something about his father, became unable to perform the tasks and eventually left his Titan body. After thirty minutes of rest, he transformed again. However, this time his Titan form was only 13 m tall, contrary to the usual 15 m, and couldn't perform any of the intelligence tests. For the third time, the Titan was only 10 m tall and was incomplete, with his human body being attached to it more firmly than before. Eren takes this news as a proof that the operation to retake Wall Maria cannot be performed at the moment.

Why did this happen and how was it resolved?

I'm pretty sure this is due to the fact that turning into a titan requires energy.  Serially turning into  one like that was wearing him down, such that he couldn't turn into the normal full-sized titan of normal titan intelligence.  If he burned enough energy as a titan or through regeneration, he would not be able to turn into a titan at all for a while, as established much later in the manga.

This should be the selected answer

The reason why Eren can't sometimes turn into a titan because he doesn't have a objective to focus on, unlike his first transformation which he focus of not dying and the vision of his mother, sometimes his anger trigger his tranformation. For example, Annie's tranformation was easlier for her because she had to be cold blooded when getting Eren. Before the last espiode Armin told Eren to leave his humanity and became a monster to able to fight Annie. I haven't read the manga but I do my research on Attack on Titan and I will read the manga.

Eren cannot transform, for purpose. Because it's is possibility that's transform into titan will need sunlight and energy. I'm certain sure Eren need sun light/energy and bite his finger at same time. In episode 23-24, Annie avoided to go dark underground. If she went into and bite finger, she wouldn't be able to transform. That's why Annie and others titan shifter alway on outside in order to transform.

The reason is the plot :D He had to be captured by Kenny's goons so the story could happen :D
Ok, but with all seriousness, Eren needs to be strong, both mentally and physically. After dozens of test he was probably. He didnt knew his limits back then and before test he managed to fully transform only 3 times - all of them very randomly.
Also i think it depends on how strong Titan Power is.
SPOILER:
Carting Titan is probably the weakest, but can stay in titan form for the longest.
Colossal Titan is huge, so he is very concious about to when to transform into one - Ww can see Nertholdt transformin io Collosal's upper body in season 3, but then day later h is carried by Reiner. He never rly fights back when he and Reiner are attacked by mindless titans even if they both almost get eaten, so he probably needs a lot of energy to transform.
Eren has 2 titan powers. His transformation is probably more demending than armored or female titans.

Nobody knows why this is happening. Even Eren can't remember what actually happened and it has not been resolved till now(59). Currently they are following Erwin's plan. The question may be answered in the future.

I think eren didn't have enough energy and sunlight so he was not able to transform into full titan. So thats why annie and zeke if always outside to transform.

The reason why he can't turn into a Titan at will is because he can only do so if there is a set goal in mind. Which is also why he could not turn in to a Titan when he was in the well, but later on when he was sitting at the table with the rest of his squad and he dropped his spoon and then proceeded to pick it up, he grew a Titan arm.

Please read the question again, you are thinking about the wrong event.

Why did the earth disappear in the final movie?
I've watched the whole movie, but I don't understand that part when the earth slowly disappears. Who destroyed the earth and why? Can someone please explain this to me?

The movie doesn't explain it well since it was only a part of what the story is. It was all explained in the manga.

 Sugata Eishirou was forced to use The Rule by a younger him. The Rule (the monument with writings on it that Sugata inspected earlier) granted his wish on what appears as the last writing space available on it. The wish was for the world to disappear.

Is there any "real life" episodes in Log Horizon?
I was wondering if there is any episode in Log Horizon set outside the game, similar to some episodes found in Sword Art Online, or is it entirely set inside the game?

Log Horizon has no episodes that are completely outside the game.
There are very short scenes on the subject every now and then, but a complete episode would require that they get back to their world, which, hasn't happened in season 1 or 2.

Nah. Every short scene so far has been a flashback and they could do an entire LOST style episode like that, they just haven't and aren't likely to. The focus is on the game world and so far the flashbacks only appear to illustrate points as adventurers explain something about who they are as a person.

How exactly do you cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi?
Obito tried to cast it using the Divine Tree's bud and Ten Tail's power.
Madara did it by absorbing the Divine Tree and using the Rinne Sharingan.
Kaguya did it just by eating the Divine Tree's chakra fruit (which I believe only contains a fraction of Ten Tail's/Divine Tree's power).
So what is the working behind casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi?

Remember the 1 question per post policy. You can post your side question as a new post.

Ok sorry ..... :)

A few days ago, I answered a similar question if you read the links that let you find answers to those questions. I think you should look for more ...

lol, what a coincidence, that question was mine too but here I am asking how the 3 of them can launch the infinite tsukuyomi using different methods?

Well, scientists have been trying to investigate that for a long time now. Mr.Jones of Crapland University recently published a journal in which he describes how was unsuccessful in casting the infinite tsukuyomi. Please go through it.

Infinite Tsukoyomi in simplest terms is a Genjutsu cast by reflecting the Sharingan from the surface of moon such that anyone who looks at the moon falls under the spell.
Tobi explains to the five Kage about this jutsu. That he needs his current power to increase significantly so that his Sharingan can become capable of such a feat. Thus the jutsu Inifnite Tsukoyomi doesn't depend on the way the required level of power is achieved, just that the user has that much power.
Hence Obito, Madara and Kaguya believe that they can cast it using different methods to increase their chakra.

claps Migoto desu.

What is the music played during the fight between Juuzou and the Owl in episode 11 of Tokyo Ghoul Root A?
What is the name of the music played at 11:50 in Tokyo Ghoul Root A, episode 11 when Juuzou and the other Ghoul investigators are fighting the Owl? I like that pretty much.

What I've found out is it's called "Tokyo Ghoul - Yukata Yamada"

What is the Senju clan's speciality?
Is it wood style? If yes, then how come only Hashirama can use it?
There has to be some special power that all the members of the Senju clan possessed, or else how could they be the greatest rivals to the Uchiha (who had Sharingan) who defeated every other clan other than the Senju?

I'm pretty sure it is wood style. I don't really know why he's the only one that got itm but I think he was just lucky being born with it.

I think the answer is a combination of both Ero Sennin and Chronarchitect's answers.

The only Senju to showcase the Wood Release was Hashirama Senju. You could say that the Wood Release was Hashirama's speciality. Even his brother Tobirama did not use Wood Release all that much, but instead had a variety of speciality techniques including Space-time jutsu, Edo Tensei, Kage Bunshin, etc.
The Uchiha are adept at using fire techniques, because of their natural affinity towards it. The Senju are commonly called as "Senju clan of the forest". So we could only assume from the name that they are adept at using forest related skills; Wood Release.
But from the Senju we have seen in battle, namely Tobirama, Hashirama and Tsunade, the common feature about them is their unique fighting style and skills. This would lead into a more agreeable assumption. The clan's name, "Senju", literally means "a thousand skills". So this would mean, rather than the whole clan specializing in one type of jutsu/technique/nature release/skill, the clan members would be specialized in different types of jutsu. This actually fits the meaning of their name. Which means, there isn't a trademark clan ability. This assumption is supported by the Senju we've seen in battle multiple times.
The Uchiha hadn't defeated all the other clans. It was just said that they were among the top powerful clans, only challenged by the Senju. The Uchiha and Senju had been fighting against each other over centuries, even before Hashirama and Madara's times. This was because of the Indra and Asura feud. So while the Uchiha were powerful, the only clan able to go against them were the descendants of Asura. That's the main reason as to why they could go toe to toe.
TL;DR : The Senju clan doesn't have a trademark ability. But all its members have proficiency in different types of jutsu. Because of being the descendants of the Sage of Six Paths' sons, the Senju and Uchiha were able to go toe to toe against each other.

But one thing this doesn't explain this is, Uchiha defeated every other clan with special abilities, but it could not defeat Senju, which didn't have a special ability to start with..how can that be justified?

Can you please provide reference to where it's being said that the Uchiha defeated all the other clans?

I think what he meant is that in one of the flashback it was said that Uchiha and Senju are the strongest clans. Which makes him think that other than Senju, Uchiha has defeated all the other clans, while it was just that they are stronger than the other clans and doesn't necessarily mean that they have defeated them.

yes I mean that, maybe they didn't defeat all the clans but they WERE stronger than all of them other than the Senju. What makes Senju so special that even tho they don't have any kind of kekei-genkai, they could still overpower the uchiha?

Here's the actual fact. The Uchiha and Senju had been fighting against each other over centuries, even before Hashirama and Madara's times. This was because of the Indra and Asura feud. So while the Uchiha were powerful, the only clan able to go against them were the descendants of Asura. That's the main reason as to why they could go toe to toe. Edited the answer.

The Senju are the descendants of the younger son of the Sage of Six Paths.
The Sage of six paths had two sons, the elder son inherited the sage's eyes  and his descendants, the Uchiha, inherit the dōjutsu kekei-genkai Sharingan.
And the younger son inherited his "body", granting him a powerful life force and chakra. His descendants are the Senju clan who possess more chakra compared to other shinobi clans.
So, the Senju clan doesn't possess any trademark ability other than having greater chakra.

Wrong. Indra inherited the Sharingan. Not Rinnegan.

I think this is the right answer.  The Senju side inherited the raw power and the strength of will/endurance.  The Uchiha side inherited the genius and technique (eyes).  They were, almost literally, two sides of the same coin, in natural opposition and balance to each other.

I wouldn't agree with "just large chakra reserves". If you've seen what Asura was capable of, then obviously his descendants would be having his potential. Overlooking that potential and focusing on just the "chakra storage" is somewhat underestimated.

The descendants of the senju clan only inherit the Yang element innately and their physical abilities, restiveness, physical strength, etc ...
The other abilities have to do with the handling of each person, in the special case of Hashirama, him doesn't  inherit the element wood, but it is the creator of this technique, is the first to obtain this element.
The wood element is a Kekkei Genkai, but there are three forms of Kekkei Genkai. In the case of Hashirama he is the only user because he is the creator and the only one who manages to dominate it, in the manga is not explained, but is given to understand that no one inherits his skills or does not develop them. ( nothing is known about his son)
But it is known that these skills can be taught if genes are inherited as is the case of the Onoki dust element.

Why do characters in One Piece have weird signature suffixes to their lines?
I have seen often that characters in One Piece have their weird (read: at times irritating) signatures. Is there any specific reason for them?
For example, in the picture below, Vito has rorero as his signature. These suffixes sometimes kill the entire feel of the scene, which is why I was wondering why were they so important to have in the first place.

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe that is them laughing because a very big part of one piece is that each character has a unique way of laughing.

it's a catch phrase http://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/3317/what-is-the-significance-of-anime-characters-catch-phrases

http://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/7302/are-the-peculiar-one-piece-laughs-based-on-anything

@Darjeeling Or to be more precise, a kyara-gobi (キャラ語尾), or verbal tics that occur at the end of sentences.

One Piece does quite a bit across the long franchise to ensure that every plot character is remembered in a different way. In addition to being drawn differently having different suffixes or having a different laugh serves as a tool to help establish that character as a unique identity.
Caesar, Doflamingo,Gekko Moria and numerous others in the show, the manga and the movies all make use of this.
In addition to suffixes and laughs there is also gestures, like Brook asking to see your panties or chopper hiding the wrong way that are also unique to add differentiation to each character.
In summation, the above are all tropes commonly used in anime to add individuality to each character.

In One Piece, many characters are known to laugh in unusual ways by either adding to the typical "haha" or using different syllables entirely. These laughter patterns are often unique to individuals and may be based on their personalities or appearances. Some of the especially weird laughs are different in translated versions; for example, Caesar's "shurororo" becomes "shuhohoho" in the English manga. It should be noted that laughing style of "Fufufufu" or "Ufufufufu" is a common Japanese laughing style used for mature women in anime and manga. In addition, the common phrase "Arara" is not a laugh, but rather the Japanese version of "Oh my, oh my, oh my".

done @HappyFace

I could ask you a similar question. Why do so many characters in One Piece have weird laughter styles?
Well, that's because it's a characteristic of the series. Characters laugh in specific ways (gabababa, dereshishishi, horohorohoeo etc), as well as have certain catchphrases that they repeat, like the zipper-mouth guy of CP9 - Fukuro, as well as many other characters.
It's just how the universe of One Piece operates. You shouldn't question this if you want to keep your sanity intact.

This is not an answer to this question

Yes it is. You clearly didn't read the answer you (most likely) downvoted. I advise checking the answer again. It explains the quirks of One Piece -- the catchprases that characters have as well as their laughter styles. It all ties in together.

I didn't downvote

You're speaking about laughter, the question asks about suffixes. They aren't the same.

@Bálint but I mentioned both... I compared thee two (the catch-phrases and laughter styles), as these are both characteristics of the show...

Are one-off openings and endings expensive to produce?
At least two recent anime series have had openings (OPs) or endings (EDs) that were unique to a single episode.  The OP to Erased episode 11 was modified for dramatic purpose to carry over the suspense beginning in episode 10.  Every ED for ReLIFE had its own custom music, combined with a mixture of repeated and custom visuals. I am sure there have been other series to do this sort of thing.
As a fan, I appreciate the extra effort the studios take in producing special OPs and EDs. And it is likely the artistic staff at the anime studios enjoy offering their fans these special glimpses into their series. From a production standpoint, though, I wonder how much extra cost a special OP or ED adds. Do they expect that enhanced fan appreciation due to these things will result in higher returns?  Or are they, like the artistic folks, doing it "for the fun of it"?

It completely depends on the quality, duration and reuse of animations, backdrops and music.

@Hakase True.  Erased would have been cheap. It was only one episode, and the OP's music did not change.  The visuals were only altered in one aspect. For ReLIFE though, they had to license, buy, and/or self-produce 13 songs (or have them donated) and spend time on each ED to choose the images to use as well as their order and duration.

Unlikely they were donated, and all of the ED songs were real JPop hits from the 90s-00s so not self-produced. I would guess that licencing 1 song for 13 episodes is cheaper than 13 songs for 1 episode each, but that would have been budgeted for.

A bit more extreme example is all 12 EDs of Akuma no Riddle having different visual and original music depending on the episode's main character(s).

What exactly happens during a Captain's Exam?
Before the Hollowfication Incident (in the anime) we see Kisuke Urahara is called to a room to meet with Head Captain Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, with the presence of 2 other captains. After this, he is revealed to be the new Squad 12 Captain, so we can infer that this was the Captain's Exam.
Earlier in the series we learned that it is a requirement that all Captains had to master Bankai to become a Captain (with the exception of Kenpachi Zaraki), but I don't see how Kisuke's Bankai can be evaluated in that small room. Also given how they were seated it seemed as if all they would do is talk.
So what exactly happens during a Captain's Exam?

This is one of the mysteries in bleach that kubo has never addressed , he has never actually shown the accesion of a captain , although it could be speculated that we could know that a person has mastered bankai by taking a look at his reaitsu levels

It is indeed true that all captains have to master Bankai before they even become captains and Urahara is said to have mastered it in just 3 days.
We don't know what is going on in the Exam room, but the supervising captains along with Yamamoto could already know of his bankai mastery and subject Urahara to different tests, such as to evaluate his conviction, his ability to command others, his decision making and other traits a captain should have before taking up that role.
Also, Urahara isn't the only one who's bankai manifestation is very big, the same could be asked about Mayuri Kurotsuchi who's bankai is much bigger then Urahara's.
So to answer your question, probably the Captain Exam isn't only about power, but how a Shinigami can exert authority and responsibility over his subordinates in order to complete the task given to his squad.

There are three different ways to become a Gotei 13 captain

To take the captain proficiency test which requires the ability to perform the bankai. Presumably, most Soul Reapers become captains using this method. At least three existing captains, including the Commander-General, have to witness the test.
To have personal recommendations from at least six captains and approval from at least three of the remaining seven.
To defeat a captain one-on-one with at least 200 witnesses from the captain's division. Kenpachi Zaraki is the only known captain to have achieved his rank using this method

note: This answer is from toddfroggs in yahoo answers and not my answer

Welcome to [anime.se]! It's appreciated that you mentioned a source, but it'd be better if you also provide the link to it, and it'd be great if you put the quoted answer inside quotation block (or append > to the beginning of the sentence). You can still [edit] your post to improve it :)

How come Mumei's pistols can kill Kabane?
In episode 5 of Koutetsujou no Kabaneri, the jet bullets are presented — freshly developed based on Ikoma's explosive-steam hybrid gun. However, Mumei has her steam-powered pistols from the beginning and is also able to kill Kabane with one shot.
Since the blades on her pistol are reinforced with Kabane "fabric" I assume someone else had similar ideas regarding the improvement of anti-Kabane weapons, and that this is the reason why Mumei's pistols are that strong, though I'd say using explosives to improve the gun force is still quite unusual idea for a steam powered world. But even if we say Ikoma wasn't the first one with these ideas, why isn't anybody else using this technology?

"is also able to kill Kabane with one shot" I would consider that an animation error. From very beginning she always has to shoot Kabane's heart twice to destroy it. It just happens so fast that it looks like a single shot.

ok, I'm going to watch the first episodes again and try to look a bit closer ^^

As you know and heard of, Mumei is a kabeneri (half- human and half- kabane). And apparently, once you become a kabeneri, your abilities as a human increases vastly. For example, your speed and strength increases. Remember, when she talks with Ikuma inside the train, she says "if I remove the ribbon around my neck, I could use my real abilities". But she doesn't usually removes it, because as a side effect, she get's exhausted and sleepy. And also Mumei is seen in the anime as one skilled with martial arts. Therefore, due to her enhanced abilities- thx to kabane virus, it helps her to get Insta kill with her pistols. And also the ammunition which she uses are normal bullets and they are limited.
I think this helped you in finding your answer and for more information about her, visit the link below.
http://koutetsujou-no-kabaneri.wikia.com/wiki/Mumei

so you mean, her improved physical abilities allow her to make better use of conventional weapons? could be an explanation but I'm not quite convinced this wouls be enough... anyways, thx for your thoughts

Yes, not only hers. But anyone who's a kabeneri has improved physical abilities which make better use of any weapons.

yeah of course for all kabaneri

but still, the only physical aspect affecting range weapons like firearms or steam rifles/pistols is the aim, and I don't really think that better aim allows her to shatter the heart cage with projectiles

Like I said before, the background she come from tells us as an audience, that she's experienced with weapons and close range combat

First, let's establish whether the kabane died. I think all kabane killed through penetrating the heart has the blue spark animation. All other kabane are either not killed or killed through means like cutting off the head.
Mumei has only fought with pistol for a few episodes so far.
Episode 2: There is only one kabane killed by one shot and by the speed of the motion, an earlier shot is implied. All other kabane are either killed by two or more shots or impaled by other objects while being shot. It seems to imply that first shot break the metal cage and second shot destroy the heart. The pistol is either slightly more powerful than rifles or are at the same level. However, no human are able to shoot twice at the same spot, thus no kills were made. That might also be the reason there are two pistols in the setup. This may be achieved through improved senses by the kabane virus.
Episode 4: Kabane's bones seem to be reinforced by the virus as well as the katana seems to just bounces off a kabane's skill. This might mean that inaccurate bullets will have no effect at all as they will hit bone. As Mumei is jumping over the top of the train, she seems to one shot three kabanes. We should note however, blue sparks did not appear, which means they are not dead but probably only thrown off the train. However, later on, Mumei clearly killed a kabane through one single shot to the heart. I assumed that is because Ikoma upgraded Mumei's weapon, however, it is yet to be confirmed.
Episode 5: The "Young Master"'s faction is clearly aware of gunpowder weapons as the Ear pulled out a pistol similar to real world weapon rather than steam powered. And he is clearly aware that it can kill Kabaneri. It could be that Mumei's faction and thus their weapons are also using gunpowder before meeting Ikoma. In this episode, Mumei is clearly able to kill kabane in one shot, first weakened by the explosion of suicide bombs, later in completely normal scenario below the crane.
In conclusion, I think Mumei's gun is either as powerful or slightly more powerful than the steam rifle. Thus needing two shots to kill kabane at the beginning. However, starting from episode 4, Mumei's gun seems to reliably kill kabane in one shot. I believe while being trained by Mumei, Ikoma improved her gun. It is just like how Ikoma improved the samurai's sword and the rest of the steam guns during episode 5.

What anime with "four godly kings" is referenced by Seitokai Yakuindomo in episode 2?
In the second episode of Seitokai Yakuindomo, at around the 12 minute mark, Shino Amakusa is referencing different animes. She says, at one point,

"how about a fiancé who's sword dancing outside of the party grounds"

which makes it pretty obvious she's probably talking about Princess Lover!. However, before that, she mentions

"maybe the one where the antagonist was defeated, but it turns out that he was the first pupil of the four godly kings"

to which Aria Shichijou responds with

"you have to provide a glimpse of the last boss, too"

And I have no idea which anime they're referencing to. What is the name of the anime with the antagonist and the four godly kings?

Not too sure but when I hear four heavenly kings only Sailor Moon comes to mind.

Why does Jushiro Ukitake have an item from Yoruichi's clan?
Before Rukia's execution, Jushiro Ukitake took some time breaking the seal on an item which was later used to destroy the Sokyoku.

When Ichigo arrives to save Rukia he is wearing a cape which allows him to fly which Soifon comments during her fight with Yoruichi that the cape came from the Shihoin clan, Yoruichi's clan.

They both have the same insignia on it and I recall when Ukitake appeared with the shield thing someone commented that it had the Shihoin clan symbol on it.
But why does Jushiro Ukitake have it? Shouldn't it be with the stealth force or even Yoruichi's possession? Better yet, since it is able to destroy the Sokyoku, why is it entrusted to another captain rather than Head Captain Yamamoto?

I know this is old, and I don't know if anyone thought of that before, but what if there were two conspiracies ongoing at the same time during that arc? The first one, of course, Aizen's, and the second one involving Ukitake, Kyoraku and Yoruichi.
Think about it, what the hell was Yoruichi doing in Soul Society before training Ichigo? I think that she went to Ukitake and Kyoraku and let them in on the plan to stop Rukia's execution. This involved Yoruichi going to her clan's arsenal where she got the shield, and Ichigo's flying cape. She gave Ukitake the shield (how else could he get his hands on a powerful Shihoin artifact like that?). My guess is that Ukitake was on board with it from the beginning, but Kyokaru was on the fence, hence why he was still not sure of what to do hours before the execution.
Perhaps even Unohana was on board with it because once the execution was stopped by Ichigo, Yoruichi, Ukitake and Shunsui, she leaves and goes to Central 46 where Aizen is. I'm not saying she knew about it, but perhaps Ukitake and Yoruichi also contacted her, noticing how odd Central 46 had been behaving. For instance, that type of execution was reserved to captains, yet they decided to use it on Rukia, despite her not even being a lieutenant. Not only that, but they also ordered the execution to happen sooner, and denied Ukitake's request to cancel the execution, all giving credit to Yoruichi's story.

Can the Death Note manipulate people whose names aren't written in it?
For example let's say James wrote: "Bob Schneider gets stabbed at 13:30 by his best friend. Dies of blood loss one hour later."
Would the Death Note control his friend whose name isn't written in the Death Note, or would it result in Bob having a heart attack?

The answer to your question is quite complex and can best be summarized succinctly as -- "maybe".  The death MAY play out exactly as you wrote it, it may play out similarly, but with someone or something else causing the bleeding, or he may die of a heart attack.  Or if certain criteria are met he may not die (but most likely he will!).
Let's dig in.

Rules of the trade
A complete list of rules from the comics and manga is compiled here.
Note, while many share the first 10, there's more rules in the canon than that.  In total there are at least 66 rules that have been compiled from the source material, many of which are found in the thirteenth manga volume, Death Note 13: How to Read.
Some rules that are applicable to this scenario/question include:
Rule VI.1

The conditions for death will not be realized unless it is physically
  possible for that human or it is reasonably assumed to be carried out
  by that human.

Rule X.2

Whether the cause of the individual's death is either a suicide or
  accident, if the death leads to the death of more than the intended,
  the person will simply die of a heart attack. This is to ensure that
  other lives are not influenced.

Rule XXVI.2

Even though only one name is written in the Death Note, if it
  influences and causes other humans that are not written in it to die,
  the victim's cause of death will be a heart attack.

Rule XLII.1

The use of the Death Note in the human world sometimes affects other
  humans' lives or shortens their original life span, even though their
  names are not actually written in the Death Note itself. In these
  cases, no matter the cause, the god of death sees only the original
  lifespan and not the shortened lifespan.

Rule LV.1

In occasions where the cause and situation of death is written before
  the victim's name, multiple names can be written as long as they are
  written within 40 seconds and the causes and situations of death are
  not impossible to occur.

Rule LV.2

In the occasion where the cause of death is possible but the situation
  is not, only the cause of death will take effect for that victim. If
  both the cause and the situation are impossible, that victim will die
  of heart attack.

Rule LVIII.1

By manipulating the death of a human that has influence over another
  human's life, that human's original life span can sometimes be
  lengthened.

Rule LVIII.2

If a god of death intentionally does the above manipulation to
  effectively lengthen a human's life span, the god of death will die,
  but even if a human does the same, the human will not die.

Rule LIX.1

A human death caused by Death Note will indirectly lengthen some other
  human's original life even without a specific intention to lengthen a
  particular person's original life span in the human world.

Basic rules precluding death
So let us assume a couple things:

Bob Schneider isn't going to die otherwise within the next 12 minutes
"" hasn't been targeted with a different death scenario from another Death Note.
"" is older than 780 days (~2 years) and is younger than 124 years old.
"" does not own a Death Note.

If any of the above are false, additional rules preventing the death would kick in.

General feasibility w/ example from the source material
Now the Death Note allows people to write in a situation, perhaps even with familiar characters (this aspect is somewhat unclear).  A good example is the death of Matsushiro Nakaokaji, a robber and murderer who is killed by Light who writes that the target bleeds to death at 1:30 p.m.  He was stabbed by a store employee and winds up dying at the prescribed time.

This establishes that, yes, assuming the conditions are feasible (see in particular LV.1-2), you can use the Death Note to manipulate someone other than the victim into killing them.

Death by a best friend stabbing
So what does this mean in practice?
Well, likely Bob's best friend has to have considered stabbing him, which seems fairly likely, based on the lose definition of potential outlined in the rules regarding suicide.  Also, the friend likely has to be physically present and have an accessible knife to ensure feasibility (most homes would meet this criteria as they have knives in the kitchen).
If it is feasible, the next question is whether the attack will somehow result in the friend dying as well.  If so, Rules X.2 and XVI.2 clearly state Bob will instead die of a heart attack, to prevent additional deaths. Note that Rule XLLII.1 state that it's fine to short the characters lifespan (let's say Bob fights back and stabs the friend with a non-life ending injury that nonetheless shortens his life, i.e. laceration of the spleen or kidney).
Now let's assume that it's not feasible for that best friend, either because they're not capable of harboring such thoughts, are physical incapable (maybe they're paralyzed), or would die in the process of the attack.  Then that friend will definitely not commit the attack.
Does Bob have multiple best friends?
If so, likely the above criteria repeats.  If one best friend would die  from the stabbing, perhaps the situation will pass to a friend that meets the feasibility criteria and wouldn't die.  So maybe best friend 1 is a nerd and best friend 2 is a gym rat... the note would likely avoid the nerdy friend who would die of the counterattack, and instead pick the gym rat, who could carry out the deed without dying himself.
Unknowns include which best friend is chosen first and how/why, assuming there's multiple "best friends" of Bob capable of killing him.

Death by someone else stabbing him or some accident causing bleeding
Now if no friends are capable of killing him, than the next question, per LV.1-2 is whether someone else would be capable of stabbing him.  Say he's at the store at 13:30 p.m. and no friends are around, but other people are and one of them has a knife.
Again, assuming no one else but Bob will die as a result of the attack and the attacker has considered stabbing a random stranger (or casual acquaintance if they happen to know Bob), then the stabbing may still occur, just not the written situation.
Or something else will happen to Bob (i.e. a piano falling on his leg) that causes him to bleed out at the specified time.  The requirement of no additional deaths, however, would precluding many accidents that might satisfy this end, though (think massive highway crash, etc., which would likely produce multiple fatalities).
If there's multiple possibilities to fulfill the cause of death, if the situation was deemed infeasible or would lead to additional deaths, it's unclear which would be picked (as with the question of which best friend would kill him if multiple are capable). Perhaps it's random.  Perhaps there's some unknown rule.

Final fall-through: death by heart attack
If there's no way he's going to get stabbed or otherwise maimed in such a way to bleed out (say Bob is in an underground bunker, far from friends and other dangers) -- or if ALL such circumstances would lead to additional deaths -- then he will die from a heart attack at the ascribed time.

"Now let's assume that it's not feasible for that best friend, either because they're n" <--- was something omitted here by accident?

@Maroon Yup, some text got deleted during my initial writeup... long answer, accidentally chopped that paragraph midway.  I updated it with text in the gist of the original text.

Even if Bob's friend don't harbor such thoughts, it is possible that Bob would get stabbed by his friend accidentally. For example, Bob standing next to his friend who is carrying a knife (probably they are cooking together). His friend then fell due to the slippery floor and accidentally stabbed Bob at the heart, causing his death.

I think his best friend will kill him accidentally or something like that.
If he doesn't do that accidentally, then.. he will kill him in any circumstances, with or without his will. I don't know exactly how's going to happen that, it will just happens somehow.
That's how death note works.
Edit:
Sorry, I didn't understand your question first time.
If it is not a rule for this then it will works, his best friend will kill
(If I guess right)
Here's an image with rules:

P.S.: Sorry for my bad english, I just saw your questions and I wanted to reply/respond.. Anyways, if you don't understand something, just tell me.. I will try to rectify that mistake.

My apologies. You can delete this post.

One incident that I think is relevant to this question is (spoiler for those who haven’t seen it):

 Kiichiro Osoreda is killed during the bus hijacking, however the written cause of death is simply "traffic accident"

Whilst this is entirely possible and likely on any road even without being written, the face that the written instructions are carried out (the realistic rule) implies that even in a minor way, the Death Note has exuded influence on a driver for a car to be there at the exact time, not swerve etc, and therefore accidentally cause a death.
Under this thinking, it would be entirely possible for Bob to be stabbed by his friend, either on purpose or accidentally, if in a situation where it COULD happen.
However:

Whether the cause of the individual's death is either a suicide or accident, if the death leads to the death of more than the intended, the person will simply die of a heart attack. This is to ensure that other lives are not influenced.

makes things a bit tricky. Say Bob is stabbed accidentally, and the friend (Steve or whatever)'s life is influenced by this, either a jail term or depression that WOULD (hypothetically and assuming no further changes) lead to him committing suicide. This is a direct link, and therefore could be seen to cause 2 deaths, and as a result Bob would die of a heart attack.

Does the Soul Society know exactly where Kisuke Urahara is?
I was under the impression that Kisuke's shop is where it is in order to stay out of the eyes of the Soul Society. Yet during the start of Season 4, Renji is "mooching" off the Urahara Shop, and it doesn't seem like Renji was in need to help at any time which would lead to Kisuke offering help, unlike with Rukia where it was shown that after she lost her powers she was approached by Kisuke.
So I am wondering if the Soul Society knew that Kisuke was set up in Karakura Town and thus directed Renji to seek his aid. If not, then how did Renji end up there?

are you talking about when the group of Soul reapers were sent to guard the Human world for a while and needed places to stay?

@Ryan the part I am talking about is, as I said, at the start of Season 4 when Renji stays with Kisuke and everyone is calling him Mr Moocher, when the other Mod Souls get introduced. I only vaguely recall that later Toshiro gets his his own place, Rongiku crashes at Orihime's and Ikaku crashes at one of Ichigo's friends who's sister crushes on Ikaku badly

Randomly Sumbling back here, I realized this question still has no answer. I suppose if i can Remember ill get to digging up some facts about a solid answer later. It all stopped mattering after season 2/ the Second arc, because he was proven innocent after Aizens Betrayal, so them knowing his location after that is expected. Gotta look into Rukia and Kiskues interactions in season 1. see if it was just by accident she found him or not.

Doesn't the fact that Rukia was able to find and get help of Urahara in the beginning itself prove that the Soul Society has an idea that a former Soul Reaper has set up shop? Many people such as Rukia, Renji (i.e. the new generation) may not know the true identity of Urahara, but I am sure Gotei 13 knows where he is. In fact, Ichigo's father also knows Urahara is in town after he regains his Reaper powers

The simple answer?  Yes.  However, the arc you are speaking of does not exist in canon.  It was a filler arc.
Now, to expand upon the actual answer to your question.  The Gotei 13 does know where he is, in-fact, they even know where his shop is.  The reason they don't arrest or execute him is because he is still a useful asset to them.  Now, if he was useless or ended up causing too much trouble, they would likely dispose of him, especially after he helped Ichigo and the others to gain entrance into the Seretei (sorry if I misspelled that).

Why is there an exclamation mark between 'Butler' and 'Grell'?
I have recently discovered the Black Butler fandom, and have noticed that there are exclamation marks between 'Butler' and 'Grell', like this: Butler!Grell. The same is also true for 'Tutor' and 'Sebastian': Tutor!Sebastian. Is there any significance or meaning behind this?

well Grell did pose as Angelina Dalles's butler so Butler!Grell might indicate Grell being a Butler however the ! could just be apart of a fanfiction system such as some use [NAME1] x [NAME2] and some use ([NAME1] + [NAME2]) to indicate romantic parings. you may need to provide some example pages in which this is used

In most fandom the exclamation point is used to indicate a particular style of a character in a series. It's mostly used when characters have episodes or even arcs where they wear a particular outfit like a armor, transformations, or even a disguise.
Most fandom is sustained by avid attention from fans for characters that they like so it helps to distinguish from things like tutor, easter bunny and classic sebastian.
Different fandoms use different notations. But they overall serve the same purpose.

Does Kaneki die in season 2?
Because some people say that Haise is just a new character. I just want information because I'm confused.

i am assuming you were talking about tokyo ghoul as that was the only series which which i knew of a character named Kaneki

yes and im wonder if i did happen and its in tokyoo ghoul

Tokyo Ghoul the manga ended a long time ago, with a similar plot (but completely different events) including an ambiguous did Kaneki Die end scene (highly recommend you read the manga, at minimum from the end of season 1, if not from chapter 1 to correct the changes in the anime). Then and only then can you fully understand its sequal, RE: which will have the answers you seek.

Please, read manga if you want to know plot details. Your question was answered in Tokyo Ghould: RE long ago.

Spoilers for those that haven't seen the show.

 When Kaneki was trying to live as a human his hair was black, then when he decided to cross into the world of ghouls, his hair went white. While living amonst the ghouls his hair remained white. Following this, at the end of the series his hair starts to turn black again as he crosses back to the side of the humans. Now, as Haise Sasaki, who lives as something between humans and ghouls, his hair is white with black in it. There is clear visual symoblism that proves they are the same character. Not to mention plot I don't want to spoil.

I'm assuming you are talking about Tokyo Ghoul. In the manga (at the place where season 2 of the anime ended), Arima kills Kaneki and stabs him in the eye. Kaneki does "die", but as tha manga continues,
POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR SEASON 3!

 Kaneki "comes back" as Haise Sasaki with little to no memory, so techinically, he didn't comepletely die. In the anime, it never shows Kaneki's fight with Arima at the end of season 2, but if there is going to be a season 3 which continues from where season 2 left off, then we can safetly assume that Kaneki did get killed by Arima.

Your spoiler answers the question then contradicts itself.

Do both Ikaros and Nymph have ears or just Astrea?
I haven't seen the movie yet, but I finished the show multiple times and have never seen either Ikaros' or Nymph's ears. Why is that?

Hidden under their hair, perhaps?

I think the things on the top of Astrea's head are decorative wings rather than her actual ears.

I thought the bell shaped objects beside her head were like robotic ears?

They're almost never seen but Ikaros' ears are behind her hair.

From manga chapter 28
But Nymph probably doesn't have ears

From manga chapter 25

The protruding robotic wings on Nymph's head and Astrea's head are their ears because they have been used to communicate. Following this principle whereby the bell-shaped objects on Ikaros's head receive speech, those wings are their ears. I have never seen actual ears but those seem to fill the job. Also it shows that Ikaros uses those as ears which I hope provides some of the answer you are looking for.

How does Natsuki Subaru manage to stay mentally sane?
After watching his friends die over and over again, how does Natsuki Subaru stay mentally sane?
For example: watching his friend die once may already have dire consequences on him. It may emotionally break him down. But repeating it over and over is insane! His perspective on friends could change and he may distance himself due to going through the death of his friends. But how does he remain so positive and mentally sane?

You're saying he remains positive and sane, but that's not true. If you look at what he does, half the time he's neurotic and doesn't really understand what he's doing and then regrets his actions and reflects on it.

Okay,sane as in he still have the will to live.Normally,if this happens to anyone in real life,we would probably just go crazy.I guess?

It's not as if his friends were dying all the time though. It has only happened a few times in the Anime. It's not as recurrent as in Steins;Gates for instance.

See Attack on Titan for friends dying all the time. Characters there are always on edge and very agitated. Sometimes they think there's no meaning to their life, but their buddies get them up and going again.

This seems like an opinion based question rather than one that can answered definitively

Note: This contains spoilers toward recent episodes.
The simple answer: He doesn't.
The more in depth one:
He keeps up the farce of not being 'insane' by convincing himself that what he is doing is for a good cause, to "save Emilia". It's stated multiple times throughout the series by Subaru himself, that everything he is doing is for "her sake".
This gives him the motivation to keep his sanity to a certain point, though even he slips up at times, for example, when he wakes up in the bed before Ram and Rem, he appears sporadic and flustered, showing signs of being 'not sane.'
As we have seen in recent episodes (14 through 17), he has broken down his sane demeanor and become... as I'd like to put it: A Sniveling Madman. This is especially the case when he has to watch Rem mutilated before him (episode 15), as well as the moment in which he is infuriated at Otto (episode 16/early 17).

What is the sad music/soundtrack played in Digimon Tri Movie 1 Episode 1?
It starts at 7:47, when Tai and Yamato (Matt) are arguing inside the Ferris wheel. It's a really sad but poignant song, and I believe that they may have even played this song in season 1 of Digimon. I would really want a link to this soundtrack.

Never mind, I just found out from Reddit that there is no officially released list of soundtracks for Digimon Tri, except for the singles. I hope the OST comes out soon.

What's the deal with exchanging names in Bleach and other anime?
Okay so I've been watching a lot of Bleach recently and I've noticed a serious trend with the battles. Before they start, both characters introduce themselves to the other. I've tried to do some research about this (mostly through Google) but I haven't found anything. Is it just something for plot convenience or is it some kind of tradition?

Ah, yes, this reminds me of the classic anime The Princess Bride. This thing happens in perhaps the most unforgettable of scenes from the movie: "Dōmo. My name is Montoya Inigo-kun. You killed my otōsan. Prepare to shinimasu."

And also it is used to introduce the character to the reader (in manga) and watcher (in anime). Imagine if they went fight for chapters/episodes without introduction.
A: The guy Ichigo is fighting is very strong.
B: Yes, I watched the show last night. Dang, it's been three episodes, right?
A: Yes, and Ichigo went bankai too, yet Getsuga Tenshou failed to make him wound even a bit. That guy is totally strong.
B: Yes, that guy is strong.
A & B: That guy...

@ton.yeung Ikkaku himself said just that when he fought his first arrancar.

As mentioned above:

Its customary to announce your name before a duel because afterwards one person will be dead, preventing the victor from knowing the name of a "worthy opponent". Source - lots of manga and anime. Conversely, its highly insulting to not announce your name beforehand and shows great respect to ask the name of "worthy opponent"

This is the case in several anime dating back to before dragon ball. The reason why is because of the strong influence of honor and dignity in battle portrayed by several historical warriors like samurai (Miyamoto Musashi) and ninja (Hattori Hanzo) and even in the Japanese underground (Yakuza).
Stating one's name before entering a fight or even in the midst of a fight is greatest show of respect because whomever dies will carry the name of the one who killed them into "life-beyond-death" and the name of died was actually prevalent enough for the killer to take the time to recognize.
In some respects it even honors someone as a potential equal in terms of combat potential.

How exactly does Akiko's healing ability work?
In episode 4, we learn that Akiko is the Armed Detective Agency's doctor, when she's healing Junichirou Tanizaki.
Just when she's about to start healing him, she starts taking off her shirt, and though Tanizaki appears to be dreading what's about to go down, she has a grin on her face:

That suggested, to me, that she was about to take some sort of sexual pleasure from what's about to go down.
Then the scene switches to the next room, where Atsushi and Kunikida are, and it sounds like Tanizaki is not really enjoying himself:

But then the noise subsides, and he sighs in what seems like a pleasurable way:

So it made it look like, to me, he was suffering for a while, but ends up taking some kind of pleasure from the process too, like Akiko appeared to be about to take herself.
This section from Akiko's page on the anime's Wikia says:

Akiko is named after a feminist pacifist poet whose work was considered controversial in her time for portraying and encouraging female sexuality.

So, basically, how exactly does Akiko's ability work? What does she actually do to heal someone?
It does have some sort of sexual connotation, given the trivia in the Wikia page, right?
Has the manga shed some more light on her ability? Or has maybe the author revealed anything in any other way?

Akiko explain's her own ability when she is on the train with the bomber in episode 8 at 16:45.

"My ability, Thou Shalt Not Die, can cure any wounds. Even my own injuries as you can see. But the necessary conditions are harsh. It can only cure lethal injuries. What an inconvenient ability. If I want to cure moderate injuries, I have to half kill my patient first." - Akiko Yosano

From the wiki:

Akiko has a rare ability among ability users, Thou Shalt Not Die (君死給勿, Kimi Shinitamō Koto Nakare?), which allows her to heal external wounds. However, to heal someone they must first be "half-dead"; meaning they must have fatally serious injuries before she can use her ability. Due to this, her ability is inconvenient for healing minimal wounds since she needs to fatally injure that person first.

As for Akiko's name. She was named after the feminist poet Yosano Akiko. Yosano Akiko's poems were written during the Russo-Japanese war which was around 1945 when feminism wasn't highly thought of. The early-to-mid 19000s in Japan was a time when women were slowly gaining new rights, during this time feminism was a huge thing for women, but controversial overall.
You could say that Akiko's nature and appearance embody this ideal.

That much I know. You link to the exact same wiki page I link to, so nothing new there. What I want to know is what does she have to do to heal people? I get that the having-to-half-kill-the-patient-first-part may be why Tanizaki seemed to be in pain at the beginning, but I don't get why she looked like she was about to get some pleasure out of it all, nor why Tanizaki sighed pleasurably at the end.

There's no deeper meaning here. She literally half-kills the patient and then her ability activates. What happened off screen with Tanizaki is a mystery, but nonetheless irrelevant to Akiko's ability.

I say this because the scene with Tanizaki being healed is inconsistent with the scene on the train in episode 8. The "pleasure sigh," you mentioned was simply from whatever Akiko wanted to do to kill Tanizaki, but was again irrelevant to healing him.

So you mean the pleasure she takes from this may very well be from the half-killing her patients part?

@JNat yes. This is just speculation, but... Her ability may be a manifestation of her personality. For example, if her personality is that of a sadistic doctor, that could have impacted her ability forcing her to half-kill her patients to heal them.

Hmm, I see. I'm still missing the connection with the eponym feminist pacifist poet.

See my edited answer.

How Betelgeuse captured Subaru's body like in the ending of episode 23?
How Betelgeuse captured Subaru's body?
Spoiler alert if you didn't watch episode 25:

In the ending of episode 23, he captured Subaru's body which some would think was possible because Subaru has touched the book. But he didn't touch it in episode 25 and still Betelgeuse was able to capture him.

How? Why?

Wild guess 1 - it's going to be explained in a later episode, just be patient; wild guess 2 - they already told you how it happens a few episodes ago, take a look back.

Nice catch by ConMan! I think that's it, and it's gonna be explained in detail in the next episode.

@ConMan well now, I may not be an avid fan, but i am pretty sure i missed the reason completely, and since the season is over, there obviously will not be a direct explanation, at least not for a long time. Can i get a hint?

Well, having watched the season finale, it looks like my suspicions were both wrong - I assumed that either (a) it related to him holding onto the book (as some characters explicitly warned that having a copy of the book was dangerous), or (b) it related to his being "touched" by the witch, and while either is still possible it was never confirmed one way or another, although events of the finale definitely strengthen the "because he's touched by the witch" possibility.

@ConMan I also assumed that it was related to holding the book, but definitely not to being touched by the witch. But now even holding the book doesn't make sense since in the last episode Subaru didn't touch the book when Betelgeuse jumped into his body.

Ok guys, I've changed the question to be matched with our current state :)

In episode 23 at 11:40.

 When Julius was having a conversation with Subaru, he said that Subaru might have an affinity for spirits. Since Petelgeuse was a spirit himself, he could possess the fingers' body which had been cast spell on beforehand and even entities having affinity for spirits. According to Julius, Subaru definitely matches the case.

Where was the Seven Blood Stains Incident detailed?
In Ar Tonelico Qoga, in the glossary under the Necrohouse of Ayatane, it talks about that some of the Teru Clans began to hate humans after something called the Seven Blood Stains Incident that was caused by Sol Ciel. It was this event that led to the Necrohouse allowing Garthnode Infiria to occur hoping that humans would destroy themselves.
But I don't know what this incident is. The only incident involving the Teru Tribe in Sol Ciel I am aware of was when Bourd kidnapped Misha from the Crescent Chronicle resulting in a battle between the Teru Tribe and Tenba which resulted in the destruction of Aurica's hometown Skuwat. But this was way way way after Garthnode Infiria so this can't be it.
The way it's worded seems as if this Seven Blood Stains incident is supposed to be matter of fact for players of the previous game (since it also clarifies that Mir's Son Ayatane is unrelated to the Necrohouse of Ayatane). So I am wondering where was the Seven Blood Stains Incident detailed? Was it in a drama CD or manga?

It was detailed in the setting encyclopedias for AT1 and AT3. You can read translations for both of them here:

Does a Reishi rich environment prevent flying?
In Bleach, there are times when we see Soul Reapers (and Visoreds) stand in the air. Examples are like when Ikkaku releases his Bankai during Grimmjow's initial attack, when Shinji first reveals himself as a Visored to Ichigo, or way back in Season 1 when Ichigo was fighting Sora. This was also mentioned by Kisuke when he was training Ichigo where in Lesson 2 - Shattered Shaft he says that Ichigo can get out if he flew out and the purpose of Lesson 2 was to restore Ichigo as a Soul Reaper.
However when we see Soul Reapers fight in the Soul Society or in Hueco Mundo we don't see this. We don't see Soul Reapers standing in mid air to get a height advantage on Ichigo and his friends when they went to rescue Rukia and so far (up to Episode 157) I have not seen Ichigo, Rukia or Renji fly.
Both the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, as stated by Uryuu, are rich in Reishi. So I am wondering, does a Reishi rich environment prevent flying?

while they might not always do this, i do recall the fight between Ichigo and Grimmjow. Grimmjow did stand on the air to deliver his final move, and this did create a height advantage in this case. Ichigo, after stabbing him, stood in the air and watched him fall. I might have spoiled it for you, as i can't recall the episode number now.

@NicholasAysen don't worry about the spoilers, i ask knowing full well that an answer might contain spoilers.

Don't they use reshi as footholds to stand on air? In the latter episodes, the last animated arc, Ikkaku is fighting and notes that he was just standing, despite being in the air. Could simply be that the cost to stand in air in high reshi environments is too costly to be efficient, at least until you get very powerful, which i do believe is shown in the manga only right now. Id have to check the sources, but i don't have such time right now

I believe that the reason they float outside of Soul Society or Hueco Mundo is because they don't want to mess with the people who are not already part of their 'world.' In the Soul Society, everyone already knows about shinigami and the like, but in the mortal world most people don't even know that shinigami exist. So they fight in the air so the humans don't get caught in the cross-fire.

Is Jack a fishman?
In chapter 824 of One Piece, Jack is shown lying motionless on the ocean floor, waiting for his crew to come and rescue him after being defeated by Zunisha the giant elephant. His mask is broken and his shark-like teeth (resembling Arlong and Hodi - the shark fishmen) is revealed. However, unlike other devil fruit users, he does not pass out or have any difficulty breathing in the ocean.
My question is: is Jack who happens to be a Zoan type devil fruit user also a fishman, or is there any other possibility as to how he can survive for so long under water?

There is no definitve statement yet what Jack is. Like you said, a fishman is a likely possibilty.

This reminds me of Vander Decken IX from fishman island arc who was also a devil fruit user. Was he ever shown having difficulty breathing in the ocean?

I don't think so. But why is breathing relevant at all? DFs take to ability to move under water, they don't necessarily suffocate the user. It's just that other species can't breath udner water like fishmen can.

@deviantfan That's the point. So if Jack is able to breathe underwater, he is most likely a fishman right? or is there any alternate explanation?

@Naveen Doesn't Vanderdecken always wear a bubble-suit when he is not in the palace or on his ship?

I think Jack is really a fishman. Maybe that's the reason why he has a mask and has just been revealed on later part after his appearance on the manga. Maybe he being a fishman has important part in the story.

3 years later, I wonder if the manga has added any new info for this?

Yes, Jack being a fishman is the only logical explanation for him surviving in the middle of the ocean. As you noted already, he looks like a fishman too. His devil fruit prevents him from moving but that won't stop him from breathing (remember in Arlong park, Luffy could breathe while his body was under water when Nojiko (Nami's sister) and Genzo got his head outside of the pool).
It also seems it was not the first time he found himself at the bottom of the sea as he is expecting help as if it was normal, and we can assume he either can speak with nearby fishes or he has a vivre card on him, and is only going to die if nobody comes to his rescue before he dies from hunger.

iirc it wasn't Nami but her sister and the old guy with the pinwheel

@Darjeeling true!

@Darjeeling when I watched the anime Luffy thought of the old guy when he used the gomu gomu no pinwheel.

In direct contradiction to the previous answers. Jack is not described or defined as a fishman according to the one piece wiki linked here Jack Description link

Jack is a man of massive stature, dwarfing his crewmates and even the very large minks Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.

Key phrase being Jack is a man. Given that there is also substantial evidence adding to the credibility that he is in fact human.
Fishmen in appearance
It is further described in the wiki that Fishmen are described as the following:

Fishmen are more fish-like than merfolk, usually looking like a combination between a man and a fish or other aquatic creature, such as an octopus, manta ray, or sawshark; however, they still have legs (in fact, Decken has four). They also have gills between their shoulders and necks, sometimes covered by their clothing, as well as often having webbed hands. Depending on species, they may have multiple limbs (mainly extra arms).

Linked here
Given that all fishmen have some sort of gills between their shoulders and neck and that we have seen Jack full frontal topless and he's shown no signs of these due to the fur coat that he wears.
This can mean 1 of 3 things:
1) He is not a fishman and there is a logical possibility for why being above head level submerged in water wasn't causing him to drown, die or freak out
2) He is a merefolk but it hasn't been fully discussed yet and his lineage and capability.
3) He is actually a fishmen but couldn't move due to restrictions via devil fruit powers.
I disagree with reasons 2 and 3 because what sense would that make? He is the first antagonist in the series to not face any of the straw hats bringing him back either in the current whole cake arc or the next arc (hopefully wano country) ruins that nieche for his character. If he was in fact fishman or merefolk why didn't we see or hear anything about him from the fishman island arc? Or Jinbe? Or Kienmon and momonosuke? It doesnt make logical sense that all of those ppl just conveniently forgot him.
In summation I believe that reason 1 is the fact here. But that leads to the burning question, how is he ok being underwater?
There are 2 possibilities in this case, the first is that as a zoan type he could have matriculated his lungs to a point where they hold more air without expanding the rest of his body due to enhanced control over his zoan power.
The second and most likely case is that he is in fact drowning to death but hes such a tough bada** that he doesn't show that he even cares and might actually survive.
Truth of the matter is
Nobody actually knows for sure beccause it's too soon to tell, we will know for sure once the manga reaches a point where the straw hats or someone deals with Kaido and we learn a bit more about the beast pirates. But as of right now with the information we have in front of us. Jack is a man.

+1 for we don't know. +1 for thoughly thought out. -1 for "Jack is a man".  Per appearance, he looks like Dellinger who is a hybrid (and actually has characteristics similar to the unclassified Gekko Moria...huh). Per the quotes, man =/= human and wiki =/= canon and bad writing =/= good evidence. The rest of your arguments are speculation.  Your answer would be correct if it were just "We don't actually know"

@kaine Jack is a man the wiki says so. In order to prove that he is not there needs to be a change in the wiki or some other credible source that says so. At the time when I looked into it. I found nothing. So in my defense I don't believe that I deserve a -1 at all.

the wiki isn't credible. It is user editted, noncanon, and not quasi-peer reviewed (by which I refer to how this site works). Answers on this site are required to be more credible than that wiki. You still netted a +1 which is the max I can give you.

Citing the One Piece wiki is absolute trash. I myself tried to put the info that he's probably a fishman into the wiki, and some asshole edited it out with "no", giving no explanation whatsoever. And to be clear, the wiki doesn't discourage speculation as long as there's clear evidence (though it has to be edited out once disproven). There are plenty of articles that use the exact format I tried to use.

I feel like since we now have Wano being explored in the manga we might get some expose on this. If I come across anything further I'll be back to update my answer.

Jack is a half breed, like the fighting fish half-breed in Doflamingo's crew. It would explain his human appearance and his teeth changing just like Doflamingo's crew mate, and being a DF user, it restricts his movement in water.

Just an idea, but maybe there is something about the synthetic devil fruits that they all used that decreases their susceptibility towards water?
Or maybe it could be related to Kaido and his inability to die.
There are a lot of unanswered questions that could be tied to why Jack can survive underwater, but I personally don't agree that it's because of being a fishman. The creep from Fishman island that wanted to marry Shirahoshi couldn't survive in water because he had a devil fruit power.

Jack is not using a synthetic devil fruit then why wouldn't most of Kaido's crew be using them if you could just make a Ancient Zoan whenever why make modern animals Sapi also looks more human then fish man so Jack could be half for all we know .

Most of you are saying either he is not fishman but human or hes a fishman and not human, maybe even a merman. But how about half? It is shown to be possible that someone can be part fishman and part human. example: Dellinger, He was a human that was part fighting fish so it is possible that Jack is part fishman, explaining his human appearance but seemingly fishman strength and abilities such as breathing under water. He also seems to have horns, but those do have metal parts at the beginning on his head, so it is possible they are fake.

I think he is part fishman. From what I could tell the moment his mask came off he resembled that of a predator-type fishman. I believe he can breath under the water but he is immobile.

Why weren't Gigai used for Spearhead?
When Rukia was explaining how Mod Souls were created for Project Spearhead, she said the project was scrapped because forcing corpses to fight was immoral.
But why weren't Gigai considered? Unlike corpses, Gigai are created so they are more readily available and a Mod Soul would inhabit a corpse in the same way as a Soul Reaper inhabits a Gigai with the exception that a Gigai was never alive to begin with.
So why wasn't it considered to use Gigai instead rather than scrap Spearhead altogether?

Two words: Plot armor.
All jokes aside, this is never really explained.  It is touched upon, however, in the anime during the non-canon Bount filler arc.  The three special mod-souls created by Urahara to help Ichigo regain the power of his bankai, all used their own custom made Gigai.  Once again, this arc is non-canon and so are the characters.
This one may never have a satisfactory answer.

How did no one notice that Rukia's special order was defective?
In Episode 6, when Rukia went to replenish her supplies from Kisuke, she asked about her special order in which Kisuke sent Ururu to look for it. After looking at it, Kisuke said that the one Rukia got was the only one he could get as it was hard to get. Later, he finds that the box was marked as defective.
What I don't get is how no one knew it was defective. If Kisuke's supplier marked it as such, firstly wouldn't they have had it destroyed because of Soul Society's orders to destroy Mod Souls? If they ignored the order, then Kisuke should have known because he would have seen the box and opened it, checking what it was because he knew it wasn't Chappy which is what Rukia said she wanted when Ichigo was complaining about it being a duck. If the box wasn't marked as defective before it arrived, then Kisuke must have done it and was fully aware it was defective in the first place.
How did no one notice that Rukia's special order was defective before she came to pick it up?

actually it was in a box labeled "poor merchandise" but somehow ururu accidentally gave this defective item to rukia.

@ᙈnlḭ๓ḭtḕᕍᏰᙈᖇຮt it's probably the dub but because i can't read what was on the box i had to assume that when Jinta is hurting Ururu because of her mistake it was said that the box was labeled as defective

it Probably was a diferent box than the one he tried to obtain for her

If we're being entirely honest, Kisuke is the kind of guy that would probably give Rukia a defective one just because he wanted to mess with her.

@Cyberson yeah, it was said that it was supposed to be disposed but he didn't actually

What I don't get is how no one knew it was defective.

Kisuke Uruhara knew that the container contained Kon.
According to Kon's History entry in Bleach Wikia:

Kon was one of the last Mod-Souls ever created for Project Spearhead, an operation which made Artificial Souls designed to enhance Human physiology to be placed in dead bodies in order to help the Shinigami fight Hollows. Shortly after his creation the project was deemed inhumane by Soul Society and was shut down, and all of the existing Mod-souls were to be terminated.
  [Manga: Chapter 16 page 15 ]
Kon, however, made a lucky escape and wound up in the storage room of the Urahara Shop, inside a Soul Candy dispenser. Kisuke Urahara placed the tainted dispenser in a box designated as "poor merchandise" and had intended to dispose of it, but never did. [Manga: Chapter 14 page 3 ]

He knew that the contents of the soul candy dispenser is actually a mod-soul. However, He did not dispose it, maybe because of his nature, being a scientist or so, he might have thought of experimenting on it just like what he did to Ichigo to bring back his powers.

If the box wasn't marked as defective before it arrived, then Kisuke must have done it and was fully aware it was defective in the first place.

It was, actually...

When Rukia asks if her order of some Soul Candy has arrived, Kisuke tells Ururu to bring the order from storage. Searching for a box marked "new stuff", she finds a box and brings its contents to Rukia. Urahara later discovers that the box is actually labeled "poor merchandise", and contained Kon. [Manga: Chapter 13 page 10-11, 19 ]
Jinta asks her to read the writing on the box. When Ururu struggles to pronounce it, Jinta corrects her and tells Ururu that she sold a poor quality item to a customer and starts pulling her hair. Kisuke tells him to stop, saying that it is his fault for not disposing of it.source

Like Ryan said in the comment, it was on a different box. However, because Ururu struggles on reading labels, she accidentally gave the wrong item to Rukia.
Kisuke already knew what was inside: a mod- soul. He admitted it, saying it is his fault for not disposing it.

How did no one notice that Rukia's special order was defective before she came to pick it up?

They noticed that the item given to Rukia is defective after she came to pick it up. The Order was in fact okay. However, the one who handed the item had a misunderstanding. Because she struggles on reading labels, Ururu mistook the box with a label of "poor merchandise" as the box with a label of "new stuff", which Uruhara ordered her to bring, so it was the one labelled [defective] given to Rukia instead.

Jinta asks her to read the writing on the box. When Ururu struggles to pronounce it, Jinta corrects her and tells Ururu that she sold a poor quality item to a customer and starts pulling her hair. Kisuke tells him to stop, saying that it is his fault for not disposing of it. Tessai says that regardless of who is at fault, it could be trouble.

Ururu apologizes to Kisuke, saying that it was her fault and asks him if he is mad. Urahara reaches out to her, causing her to recoil. He places his hand on her head, and tells her that it is no big deal and asks why she is crying. He says that they are a team and not to worry about it, as he will take care of it. Kisuke comforts her as she continues to cry.

Tessai informs Urahara that they are ready, and the four set out to recover the merchandise, with Ururu carrying her cannon.source

Captains' reiatsu levels after donating to Ichigo
When the captains and vice captains gave their powers in Urahara's sword to restore Ichigo's powers, did they permanently lose part of their powers?

I think not. I think it worked the same way as blood transfusion. Sure, they got weakened from giving out reiatsu, but it will recover over time.

Is there any canon evidence to support this?

Nope. I believe it's the same case as Rukia. Even though she borrowed her powers to Ichigo at the start of the series and couldn't recover her powers while in the Human World, this was mostly because of Urahara's Special Gigai. By the time she returned to Soul Society, she eventually got all of her powers back.

Can a Devil Fruit user pass on powers to their children?
If a Devil Fruit user has a child with a person or another Devil Fruit user, would said child have a similar power, the same power, or no power and just be a regular child? Because from what I've seen in a lot of superhero movies, when they have kids, their kids might have the same or similar power. Would Devil Fruit powers be any different from that?

They can't afaik, all DF user so far only gain the power by eating the fruit, even a weapon need to "consume" a devil fruit.

Short answer: No, this has not been shown, and there is overwhelming evidence to suggest the opposite.
In the world of One Piece, it is well established that any power gained through eating a devil fruit will be unique in the world. If there were a bunch of kids running around who had inherited the same powers as their parents, we would likely have seen someone like that by now or heard mention of it. If anyone is shown with some sort of a power, the first reaction of the other characters is always "He must have eaten some sort of devil fruit" and never any suggestion that the power could have been gained in another way.
It would also complicate the issue that once the devil fruit user dies, the devil fruit spawns again elsewhere in the world with another fruit, so if this were possible, you could potentially have a family where all the members are inheriting a power from some ancestor, and once he died someone else ate the fruit and passed the power to his children, and by the present hundreds of people could have the one power.
As of chapter 824, we have never to my knowledge seen a confirmed devil fruit user who has a child, and there are a couple of possibilities for this. One is just chance, the majority of parents we see in One Piece end up dying in flashbacks, and devil fruits are reasonably rare, and even if we were to believe, for example, that Edward Weevil is Whitebeard's son, there is no sign that he has the powers of the tremor fruit. It is of course possible that he was born after his father ate the fruit, so this is not necessarily a counter argument.
The other interesting possibility is that eating a devil fruit might leave the user sterile, as I said, we have no confirmed cases of an ability user having a child after they gained their powers, and in many characters case such as Luffy, Magellan, and all Logias and Zoans, there must have been huge changes to their bodies as a result of them having eaten the devil fruit.
Two more possiblities are that eating a devil fruit has no effect on your children, or that it significantly lowers your fertility without reducing it to zero. If Superman had a son, you would expect that man to have super powers, as he is genetically an alien, however if someone like Spiderman, who was born a normal human but later gained his powers through an event that potentially didn't alter his DNA had a child, you would expect that child to be biologically a normal human. If it is that eating a devil fruit lowers your fertility massively, then it is also possible that eventually a devil fruit user will successfully have a child who will inherit their power, and potentially lead to a dynasty of ability users.

+1 for noting that there are no proven devil fruit users with kids

Definitely not, and the easiest counter example would be Big Mom. If devil fruit powers were hereditary, then at least one of her 85 children would have inherited it. Yet clearly, that was not the case.

Why is Gintama considered a 'Sci-Fi' genre anime?
So I saw the genres of Gintama and I found this:

It's a shogun-era (Edo-period) animé and they use katanas instead of huge weapons; there are also some mobile-phones, etc. But what’s so 'Sci-Fi' about it, except for the fact that there is inter-space travelling, which is obvious given the plot of aliens invading? I don't know why it is categorised as a 'Sci-Fi' animé.

Science fiction (abbreviated SF or sci-fi with varying punctuation and capitalization) is a broad genre of fiction that often involves speculations based on current or future science or technology... I don't see floating fortresses or machine gun umbrella's just yet.

A better question would be why would it not categorized as sci-fi?

Nor do I see any aliens moving around in the edo-period of Japan. http://gintama.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Alien

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ the question actually is why is it Science Fiction instead of Science Fantasy.  After all, Sci-Fi has Fiction right in it, as in Fake but could realistically happen. Do the fight scenes really look like they could happen in real life, even one day in a few hundred or thousand years?

As mentioned on the Wikipedia article on Science Fiction:

Science fiction is a genre of speculative fiction dealing with imaginative concepts such as futuristic settings, futuristic science and technology, space travel, time travel, faster than light travel, parallel universes and extraterrestrial life.

Hence, Gintama is a Sci-Fi anime based on its:

Futuristic Settings & Extraterrestrial Life:

Gintama depicts Edo after it had been conquered by the aliens, and how it looks after they brought modern-day technology into a samurai country of ages past.Source

Inusei Amanto have been around in the Gintama world for over 20 years and have brought with them modern technology and led to new laws being enforced such as the ban on swords. Many other races of Amanto (aliens) have been introduced throughout the series such as Yato tribe, Shinra tribe, Royal tribe, among others.
There are even floating mobile cities in the series such as Dragon Palace City (before it descended into the sea and remained there forever).
Futuristic Science & Technology:

The items featured in Gintama range far and wide from traditional japanese items to incredible sci-fi machinations.Source

Most futuristic of the items shown in Gintama series has to be the presence of fully functioning maid-robots like Tama. While robots do exist in our time, they are not yet available on sale for household-purposes, and none are as functional as Tama.There was even a robot named Saburou which was built by Hiraga Gensai.
Another aspect of futuristic science and technology is seen in making of space shuttles, which are a very common occurrence in the Gintama series and enable space travel as mentioned below.
Space Travel:
While only shown a few times in the series, space travelling is common throughout the series with Amanto, along with some humans in space travelling all the time from one location to another. It's so common that there even exist "Space Pirates" Harusame

Hence, while Gintama does not revolve around the Sci-Fi genre like other Sci-Fi anime such as Steins;Gate, the elements of Sci-Fi are present throughout the series. As put here:

Being based in ancient Japan after its invasion by aliens, the series manages to mix more historic items such as katana and traditonal style architecture with modern ideas like convenience stores, mopeds and television, not to mention the rather liberal application of science fiction, primarily Edo's terminal station which features high tech design, numberous airships nearby and some form of teleporter system. Over all, Gintama somehow manages to bring together these three styles into the working world of Gintoki and his friends.

Whenever dealing with futuristic stuffs, technologies, extraterrestrial lifes, it is categorized as "sci-fi". If you ever watched Gintama before, you should aware that almost every episode has a short prologue. You can see tons of futuristic stuffs going on, like spaceships and aliens.

Still not convincing enough?
How about Space Scene?

Some Weird Looking Aliens and Robots?

Or Futuristic Technologies?

Keep in mind it's just a minor & background settings for the whole series, the main genre is still Action and Comedy.

Crocodile Logia Defense Explanation
Crocodile explained that he has trained his Logia to the point he can activate his sand defense off of reflex. Can anyone tell me what chapter/sbs this is? I don't remember and I need it for a video.

Check:
Episode 110: "Merciless Fight to the Death! Luffy vs. Crocodile"

Reference: http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Chapter_178

However, as Crocodile continues to try to explain to Luffy why he will never win, Luffy cuts him off by clocking his face with a haymaker, that although doing no physical damage, shuts Crocodile up and enrages him. Before the three minutes are up, Crocodile decides he is done playing with Luffy, even though Luffy says to have been fighting seriously the whole time. He then shows off his first impressive attack- Desert Spada (Desert Sword in italian). It sends a blade of sand towards Luffy that he once again narrowly dodges. Crocodile compliments Luffy on his nice reflexes, and claims that had it hit him, he would have certainly died. Crocodile finally explains to Luffy why he will never win - unlike Luffy, Crocodile trained his Devil Fruit powers to the point of mastering them. He claims that any Devil fruit power can be powerful in a fight as along as someone knows how to use them properly. Crocodile says to Luffy that if he has proper training, even his his skills can be as formidable as any - but claims that Luffy's not there, just like all the other fools who waste time obsessing over their abilities Crocodile attacks again instantly afterwards with Desert Girasole (Desert Sunflower), creating a large pit of quicksand that Luffy just happened to be standing in. He escapes however with another bazooka.

Chapter 178 page 5 of manga

nah, the scene i'm looking for is where he specifically talks about logias reacting. i believe he says something about how logia users train themselves to react to attacks reflexivvely

Did you read the paragraph above? its almost the same as what you are looking for. Croc said there "if he has proper training, even his his skills can be as formidable as any". But if that's not it. I can't think of any part that he says that. hmm.

What were those Poneglyphs from the Alabasta arc?
During the Alabasta arc when the crew was crossing the desert, Luffy, Zoro and Chopper fell down a hole which led to a big dome-like structure. In the dome, there was a huge stone with Poneglyphs written on it. None of them knew what it was much less its meaning. It was dismissed. What I'm wondering is if those Poneglyphs was important and whether or not it had some clues about the Void Century?

Yes, it obviously has some kind of clue.  The question is what kind of clue and what are they hiding?

As you can see from this list, episodes 101-102 which Luffy, Zoro and Chopper find the Poneglyph it's actually a filler episode.

So this Poneglyph wasn't introduced in the manga, so that means that whatever was wrote on it doesn't matter.

Since the Poneglyph in the desert was a non-canon episode, there is no meaning in its existence.
There is only one Poneglyph in Alabasta that Cobra showed Robin. The capital was moved because of the war and destruction. So, in the end, there is no confusion, as according to the creator of One Piece that is Oda, only one Poneglyph exists in Alabasta and the anime makers just did a filler to hype things up.

They might be Pluton as they say later in the show, because they didn't know what it is and they said that "someone" was trying to hide it.

This was actually addressed shortly after this episode came out by the anime team, and I quote "What was that Poneglyph in the cave where Zoro, Chopper, and Luffy fell into?" Kōnosuke Uda "How did that get there, Zoro's luck led him to the Poneglyph that tells the history of Alabasta".

Please include relevant sources/references.

I tried googling the exact quote but didn't return any result other than this Q&A. From where did this interview take a place?

I think that this Poneglyph might contain some real information, not about weapons but about Void Century. Then someone from Wano must have made another Poneglyph as a decoy for Alabasta King after moving the capital while only one or two persons would have had the knowledge of the existence of that Poneglyph, making it hard for World Government to locate and destroy real treasure and after some generation of the family, the secret must have lost.

Please include relevant sources or references.

Funny thing is, when you put the writings in a Google Translator, it only translates one letter and it gives you "machine".

Could you provide a screenshot of it, or at least which letter and what language was it translated from? I kind of doubt since the glyph doesn't look like a known language that Google Translate supports.

Lists of anime in plaintext
I'm trying to find lists of anime by genre in plaintext. Basically, the issue is that every anime list I can find online (MAL, ANN, Anime Planet) is stylised in some way, which isn't conducive to copy-pasting. I'd like the lists in plaintext.

what do you mean by copy-pasting? is xml/json ok? then you could also look at apis of different sites, like myanimelist.

@ton.yeung:  No, this question does not belong on Stack Overflow.

MAL's API was remarkably useless as of a year or two ago. It might've improved since DeNA bought them, though.

it may be possible to create a PHP Unit Script to run on Selenium to loop though every page of say MAL's anime list and run Javascript script to extract the data from the page and generate a sort of database only containing titles and genre which then could be used to generate a copy and paste friendly list....but weather someone will do that or not is another question

I wrote a small script that operates on the Wikipedia page that Arcane provided.
var anime = "";

$('#mw-pages li').each(function(key, value)
{
    anime += ($(this).text() + '\n');
});

// Credit to: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18197341/3571997
function download(filename, text)
{
    var element = document.createElement('a');
    element.setAttribute('href', 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,' + encodeURIComponent(text));
    element.setAttribute('download', filename);

    element.style.display = 'none';
    document.body.appendChild(element);

    element.click();

    document.body.removeChild(element);
}

download($('#firstHeading').text() + '.txt', anime);

How to use:

Start a browser that can inject JavaScript into a page (I will use Google Chrome for this demonstration).
Navigate to a category on the Wikipage (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Fantasy_anime_and_manga).
Open the developer console (F12) and click on the console tab.
Copy and paste the script in there and press Enter.
You should now receive a text file with all of the anime of this genre.

Remarks:

It also lists manga, visual novels etc.
Not user friendly.

I shall try to update (and turn it into a userscript) whenever I have more time on my hands.

Why is it when a character nimbly dodges attacks the aggressor will call it "running away"?
I've seen this across several different anime, although I don't have a specific example right now.
Typically the attack will be a barrage of projectiles and the defending character (e.g. the main protagonist) hasn't landed a hit yet or otherwise hasn't revealed how much of a threat he is yet. I understand the translated term "running away" is meant as a jeer against the protagonist. However, the protagonist is still engaged in active combat, and I would think "running away" means attempting to disengage. In this case the taunt has faulty logic. I understand taunting does not need logic, it is meant to strike a nerve and make the target more predictable.
Is it that tactical evasive maneuvers are considered cowardly and are disallowed in Bushido? I'm basing this guess off of an example in One Piece; When Zoro initially duels Hawkeye, gets struck and is about to lose, Zoro asserts that taking a step backward is equivalent to breaking his oaths and forfeiting his ambitions. This might not be the best example though since the characters, during combat, including Zoro, have no qualms against preserving their own life by dodging attacks, which is the context of this "running away" taunt.

"Stand and fight like a man!" [but if you're not doing that, that must mean you're too weak to do so] is more or less the implication, I imagine. I don't think there's any particularly Japanese cultural content to this taunt; one could easily imagine a medieval European knight saying something along the same lines to an opponent who, in a jousting match, decides to have his nimble horse evade oncoming lance blows rather than actually engage him in lance-to-lance combat.

Many people will accuse someone of running away in a fight if they do a lot to evade being hit by their opponent. Generally in a fight one can tell wether an individual is actually "running away" or just trying to avoid getting hit. Someone who does not actually want to be in the fight or is scared will generally keep running away with out making an attempt to actually fight back.
In the case of One Piece we see a lot of characters dodge and evade but that reason is to just avoid damage. Luffy for example will dodge a lot of attacks but he will make every attempt to inflict as much damage as he can on his opponent. He will even fight back when he does no damage at all. (i.e. Magellan)
Dodging and evading is not considered cowardly most characters will just call it so becasue they are fustrated that they have missed their attacks and wish to goad their opponent so that they may stop all of their evasive maneuvers.
