What is the result of KEY 10th MEMORIAL Popularity poll?
What is the result of KEY 10th MEMORIAL Popularity poll (KEY 10th MEMORIAL 人気投票)? An official source is expected.

What popularity would this poll be measuring...? I'm not sure I've heard of it before, or if it's really done by the actual Key folks (the ones behind other Anime).

There are 4 popularity polls

How many quirks can one have?
Through out the series so far we have seen several ways people can manifest multiple quirks. Such as Todo, which has Fire and Ice powers or Noumus power to steal quirks, allowing for multiple quirks, all though only 1 can be used at the time.
We also know that Nana had her own quirk, and still could receive One for All. Making it a case of literally 2 quirks in 1 body.
But is there a limitation known to how many quirks can be fused into 1 body/person?

The manga has an answer to this question - and it was mentioned already in the anime:

 The quirk All for One allows its holder to steal as many quirks as they want, as well as forcibly give those quirks to others (this is how the Nomus have been created).

 No limit has ever been mentioned, though having many quirks given to most people will cause a mental breakdown (explaining why Nomus act as mindless beasts).

I think I get it. Imagine if you just suddenly had a hundred quirks. That's just too much going on at once to keep one's sanity! +1

Doujin, doujinshi, doujinshika and doujinka. What's the difference?
In a world of self-published manga/anime/other related stuff, there are doujin, doujinshi, doujinshika and doujinka. What's the difference between those four?
Also, are these term used exclusively for anime and manga related?

TLDR;

Doujin: Fandom created works
Doujinshi: a (Broader)category of Doujin
Doujinshika: A very, very limited form of Doujinka
Doujinka: A Doujin creator

Now In more details
A Doujin
A Doujin, actually stands for a group of people that stand to achieve something, or share the same interests/hobbies.
However, it also depicts the work they make. Which in Western cultures, is often perceived to be derivatives of existing work, or analogous to fan fiction. Which is often true, as works are based upon popular games/manga/anime, but is not limited to. As there also exists original works within the Doujin.
A Doujinshi
The term Doujinshi stands for self published work. It is often considered a broader category of Doujin, as it covers Anime, hentai, games but also art collections. Where as other sub categories of Doujin, such as Doujin music/soft/game/H cover far more specific areas.
Doujinshika / Doujinka
Both these terms stand for creators of Doujin. These terms are often used interchangeably in both english and Japanese a like.
The usage of Doujinshika is said to be so limited that is often even considered to be incorrect. So the generally preferred term is Doujinka
Doujinka often reffer to themselves as sākuru or in case of single artist kojin sākuru. Which in place, reffers to the original meaning of Doujin,
a group of people that stand to achieve something, or share the same interests/hobbies.
So are these terms limited to Anime and Manga?
Well, no. These terms strike a larger category than just A&M and it's related contents, and could be used out of it's context all together.
However, they are so often used in context of A&M and it's related works, that especially in Western Cultures they will be considered A&M related.

The 誌 in 同人誌 refers to periodic publication.

Ka in Dojinshi-ka have two corresponding Japanese. I'm not sure which one you talk.
I want to describe literal meaning.

Doujin(同人) : 同=same 人=person, so 同人mean people/group who have same interest. originally used for group of writing poet, painting area. but now almost only used for subculture area include A&M.
Doujin-shi(同人誌) : 誌=magazine. so dojin-shi mean book or magazine from/for people who have same interest.
Doujin-ka(同人化) or doyjinshi-ka(同人誌化): suffix 化 means -nize. so doujinshi-ka means doujinshi-nize. create doujinshi based on something.
Doujin-ka(同人家) or doujin-sakka(同人作家): 作家 = creator, dojin-sakka means creator who create doujin-shi.

What makes Little Witch Academia a Netflix original series?
Every episode of Little Witch Academia begins with a card that says "A Netflix original series". I don't remember any such card on the two OVAs, and as far as I know the creative work was all done by the same people as the OVAs, Studio Trigger and its staff.
What exactly did Netflix do on the series to make it a "Netflix original"?

It just means that Netflix is the first-run exclusive broadcaster of the content in the regions where Netflix describes it as a "Netflix original". In its List of original programs distributed by Netflix Wikipedia lists Little Witch Academia in the "Acquisition" section as an "Exclusive international television distribution". It gives the following description of these types of shows:

These television shows, even though Netflix lists them as Netflix originals, are shows that have been aired in different countries, and Netflix has bought exclusive distribution rights to stream them in other various countries. They may be available on Netflix in their home territory and other markets where Netflix does not have the first run license, without the Netflix Original label, some time after their first-run airing on their original broadcaster.

So in the US, for example, Little Witch Academia is a Netflix original, while in Japan it would just be another old TV show in its catalogue. It can happen the other way too, where a show originally broadcast in the US by different broadcaster becomes a Netflix original when shown by Netflix outside of the US.

Yeah, Netflix does this with a number of their anime titles - The Seven Deadly Sins is another example.

Syfy channel does this a lot as well.  They'll claim one of their 3rd rate movies is a "SyFy Original", but if you look up the production details, you'll see it was made and shown in, say, South Africa three years ago.

Do the pages to which Yuri Nazarov's photograph is clipped come from real publications?
In episode 6 of Noir, when Mireille is identifying Yuri Nazarov to Kirika, a shot where his photograph is clipped to some papers with English text appears. Two different pages are shown.

The text in the papers contains references to 1990's American politics, with the mention of Gore, the Democrats, and Congress. Does the text come from any real-life publication from the period? Also, do the two different pages belong to different pieces of writing, or to the same one?

I ran two different internet searches for text that I could identify from the two different pages. Both searches led me to the 2000 article from TIME, "May It Please The Court".
The text copied in left page in the Noir shot begins at:

The embarrassing admission didn't change Hengartner's overall point that there were serious problems with punch-card voting, but it may have damaged his credibility with Sauls.

The text shown follows that of the magazine article through the next paragraph.
The text on the right page begins at:

[…] remain skittish and ready to bolt - and if they abandon Gore this week, he will almost surely have to concede.

But note that in an actual magazine article, this division of the pages would not make sense, as this would duplicate text that is already on the left page (e.g. ready to bolt). The most likely interpretation is that the "page" was duplicated, and the text used in a Lorem ipsum-like manner.
Something similar happens in ep. 10, where a prosecutor is shown with a volume that presumably contains case details, in French. The two open pages contain identical text. The French does not make sense as a whole, but an internet search with the bits that do make sense leads to this Le Monde diplomatique article from 2001. Evidently, some words have been cut out; I do not know why. The beginning of the text of same article is also shown later on the front page of Libération.

Did Danzo use Shuisui's eye to become Hokage?
In Naruto Shippuden, Danzo has a sharingan with powers that allows him to control the mind of his victims as it is shown in the 5 Kage Submit. In the 197th episode, after Pain's attack, some of the heads of the Land of Fire meet to decide what to do next and who should be the next Hokage. Kakashi should have been chosen but Danzo made the Daimyo to change his mind.
Did Danzo use his sharingan's powers to become Hokage or was his speech good enough to convince the Daimyo?

Danzō, rather than using the sharingan's ability, used the Daimyō's indecisive characteristic to his advantage - knowing he would side with whoever convinced him the most.

The Fire Daimyō has a fickle and indecisive nature and is easily swayed in his decisions through biases as well as external influences. When situations call for fast, important decisions, he makes his advisers do the whole work: the one who convinces him most is the "winner"

Danzō convinced  the Daimyō that Kakashi, who was initially considered for becoming the 6th Hokage, maintained the same ideology that put Konoha in it's current state of crisis.

However, Danzō points out that the teachings that were passed down to Kakashi were the cause of Konoha's problems and current crisis. The Konoha Crush, the frequent confrontations with Akatsuki, the defection of Sasuke Uchiha, and the destruction of Konoha's infrastructure, all stemmed from the ideology that kindness and unity would lead to peace. Danzō believed the ideology simply made Konoha appear weak and left them exposed to attacks

The Daimyō believed and agreed with Danzō

The daimyō, persuaded by Danzō's words and reasoning, appointed Danzō as the Sixth Hokage Candidate, just in time for the Five Kage Summit.

Daimyos are stupid enough to be fooled just by words. No need to use any genjutsu technique to convince them.

@SahanDeSilva edited my answer to compliment your comment :)

haha.. I just wanted to point out that Daimyos are pretty useless (being normal humans with no shinobi skills) to guide and advice a set of people who have destructive power (E.g.: Any kage)

Sorry but spoiler alert
At first I thought he did use it but it does make sense that the daiymo changed his mind. It actually became more apparent later on when they were about to choose his replacement he leans over and says wheres the fellow with the one eye or something like that then says he scares me. I think that was actually put in to clear up any confusion about him using the eye. So it stands to reason that he just scared him into changing his mind when he got all stiff and rigid and stood up and raised his voice probably shook the daiymo. About his eye. I could be wrong but I remember reading or seeing something about that the eye takes a bit over a decade to be able to use again, however if suisui uses it because it was his eye I think it wont take anywhere near as long and as for donzo I think he actually said it after.he was caught using it but he said it will take 3 days or something like that for it to be able to be used again. The only reason why it is cut down tremendously for him and not for itachi Is because danzo has the hashirama cell implanted inside of him and it repairs its users body tremendously. Now I cant say I'm 100% about this info but I am pretty sure its accurate.

It was activated until the fight with Sasuke, I don't remember why but it shuts for 10 years after being used for powerful genjutsu

When and where did this happen? danzo never used kotoamatsukami to become hokage.

Goku new transformation grey eyes light blue aura is it related with the other picture released?
So a new photo of a Goku transformation has been released by a japanese magazine, a transformation we havent seen in the series yet.

But before, we got another picture of a possible Goku transformation from a Dragon Ball Super producer, he stated it was "Goku as he tries to break new ground in order to face off against the mightiest of foes in the midst of the fierce battle that is the Tournament of Power! "

So are these 2 pictures supposed to be Goku new transformation or one is and the other isnt? They have the same hair but different aura, what does that suppose to mean?

the future is near https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonballfanon/images/3/30/Goku_SSJ5.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110404193448

Toei released a trailer yesterday for a TV special of Dragon Ball Super and One piece and they showed an animation of Goku's new form. So both pictures are related, and the actual Goku new form features a combination of the blue aura seen in one of the pictures, and the orange aura seen in the other picture.

Happy to update this when Dragon Ball Super tells us, but I'd have to go with the new form.
The hair is the same as you've pointed out

New Style
Grey-ish streaks

But also quite importantly his eyes have changed to Grey, and we have Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan God, Super Saiyan Blue, and Super Saiyan Rose as evidence of new eye colour meaning a new form!
As to the aura, that could be just a choice made for the images to make it look good in advertising. If I had to pick one as the actual Aura, I'd pick the top image as it makes more sense for the Aura to be a close colour match the hair and eyes. I expect it may look closer to grey in Dragon Ball Super than it does in either of the images.

To what extent does Arata become weaker?
I read on the wiki that he:

gives up his demon element to Anastasia

As I haven't watched that far in the series yet, I'm curious to know the extent of his power loss and if he becomes much weaker from then on? Does he ever get his powers back?

He gives up his Magic King Element in order to let Anastasia-L remain in their world, so he's not a Magic King Candidate anymore, but since he had been training in Magic for a while by then he can still use magic, since the Magic King Element was more of a mana tank, so he's considerably weaker but not powerless. In order to overcome this he goes with Ana and Arsha to the Akasha Academy and studies to become a Magic Swordsman since he still had Judecca and learns to harness it's power. After a 300 day training period it proves enough to overcome the loss of the MKE, and so far, it seems he's got even more powerful, at least enough to instill fear into the Astil Raddix (a grimoire powerful enough to fight both Levi and Akio at the same time without much trouble pre-timeskip).

Third Hokage’s Magic Ball, how you can see anywhere through the Magiball?
And Gamamaru’s Magic Ball, how it records everything that happened in any ERA?

The "Magic Ball" that the Third Hokage and Gamamaru use is the Telescope Technique.

A technique that uses a crystal ball to track a particular individual anywhere they are. There are a few restrictions about the person that is subjected to pursuit. The user must know that person's chakra pattern. If someone can be targeted for pursuit, they may be very far away, the crystal ball will be able to confirm their position. As this technique is infallible for intelligence purposes, the Third Hokage used it to maintain public order in the village.

Couldn't Light have relinquished ownership of the Death Note before dying?
Before Ryuk killed Light, was it possible that Light could have relinquished ownership of the Death Note so Ryuk wouldn't write his name?

Ryuk said that he will be the one to write Light's name, when he will die. It has nothing to do with the ownership of the notebook.

Light actually relinquished ownership of the one Death Note he had back in Episode 29. Right before that point, Misa was the owner of Gelus' Death Note, Light was the owner of Rem's and Mello's mafia underling was the owner of Sidoh's. After giving up ownership, Light has Misa lend him her DN so that he doesn't lose his memories. She is still the owner since she still has her Shinigami eyes. Light never takes back ownership of any DN for the rest of the anime. I guess we can assume he keeps some sliver of a DN page on his body somewhere to make sure he has all the memories.
The fact that Light is not currently an owner of a DN is not relevant. At the very end of the last episode of the anime, no human is actually in ownership of any of the Death Notes. However, Ryuk still has to write the names of the original owner in his DN. according to Rule LXIV:

If nobody claims the ownership of the Death Note [...] gods of death
  are [still] obliged to confirm the death of the first owner and write
  down that humans name in his/her Death Note even when he/she is in the
  world of gods of death.

(http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_of_the_Death_Note)

You right about the thing Light didn't claim ownership, but he still counts as the owner, as Mikami couldn't see Light's life-span, meaning Light is the owner of the Death Note. but you are right about it doesn't matter if Light will relinquish ownership of the Death Note, he still will be killed by Ryuk.

in the box thing below there are massive spoilers for death note only hover over it if you have watched the anime

It would not matter as he only had a small snippet of the book (corner i belive) and the police have the book as they caught the person that had the real book and swapped it with a fake book as it broke his schedual and as @trim24 has stated Ryuk stated when light died (or when he time was up) he would write his name in the book, I think you forget that there are 2 books one is given to Ryuk (wont go in to much detail) the police only have 1 book

Does it actually matter how much of the book Light had? It was established earlier in the series that "owning" a Death Note is sort of a mystical connection with its own rules that doesn't seem to be strictly related to actually having the book on your person. I interpreted the question as asking whether Ryuk writing Light's name in the book was connected to his mystical "ownership" of the book and if giving that up (and I guess also his memories of the book, going by earlier episodes) would have saved Light.

Where can I buy the digital version of Gantz manga?
Where can I buy the digital version of Gantz manga? I searched in Dark Horse Comics site but they don't have the digital version. Amazon also just has the Physical version. Does Gantz not have a digital version of the manga?

Short answer, NO, there's no digital version of the US release of the GANTZ manga.
Long answer, some authors and publishing companies in Japan back in the day were against publishing their works digitally (like Nishio Isshin, Kawahara Reki, Log Horizon's author whose name keeps evading me, Kadokawa back in the day), I don't know for sure if that was the case with Hiroya Oku or Shueisha (I believe Shueisha was against it but don't quote me on that), but the fact is the Japanese digital version wasn't released until February 18th, 2014

This is 6 months AFTER the last volume was physically released in Japan, which came out on August 19th, 2013.  All the volumes were released in bulk on bookwalker that very same day. The link here will take you to the full list of the GANTZ releases (site is in japanese). Nowadays, more and more older series are getting digital releases in Japan.
Which means that there was NO digital release of GANTZ in Japan back in 2007 when Dark Horse made the license deal. IF their original deal had contemplated the future possibility of digital releases in Japan, Dark Horse could legally sell the digital version, but there's been no such release so far so either they don't care or they can't release digitally without another deal.

eBookJapan (Japanese) got the Japanese digital version earlier than bookwalker. The 1st volume was on December 28th, 2012, and the last volume was on August 19th, 2013 (same day release).

oh, never used that site, thanks for the info!! Still, the dates are still way long after the Dark Horse license so my reasoning sort of still applies. But thanks, you can never have enough sources for fact checking ^^.

What's the story behind the Altair fanart in episode 20?
Episode 20 of Re:Creators features something marvelous: real-world fanart of Altair from Pixiv appears in the show-world as fanart of Altair on "Piclive". For example, this screencap...

...depicts this piece of fanart uploaded to pixiv back in May by artist Mochizuki Kei (望月けい).
A few seconds prior, a number of other pieces of fanart are shown:

These, too, are actual pieces of fanart from Pixiv (e.g. #6 by itsia, #9 by TOH, etc).
(Note that while all the linked images are SFW, Pixiv itself contains heaps of NSFW content.)

My question: how did these pieces of fanart come to be integrated into the anime? Were they "planted" ahead of time (i.e. did the artists have a prior arrangement with the producers to draw and release this art earlier in anticipation of episode 20)? Or was this art drawn "organically", with the artists only later being contacted about using it in the anime?

I doubt they were planted, this guy (https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?id=10772&type=all) has barely 56 artworks released on pixiv, and half of them are landscapes, yet he's the one that did #13. I'm not saying he's bad or anything, I'm just saying that from a company's perspective, he's not the kind of risk you'd take.

I just found an interview with Tomoyuki Arima, a member of the art direction team of the show on Pixivision.
Relevant part:

"--By the way, I heard some illustrations that appear on Piclive were actually posted on pixiv. Is it true?
Arima: it's true. We commissioned those pictures in order to add them to Piclive. I don't know much about those commissions, but the original illustrators were allowed to post their work on pixiv, I think"

So, to answer the actual question: The pictures weren't planted and the they didn't contact the owners of existing artworks either. They simply asked a bunch of pixiv artists to create some artwork for them which they could put in the anime to give Piclive a more realistic Pixiv feeling, and the artists were allowed to upload these onto their own Pixiv.

Why is Jiraiya’s headband different from that of other Leaf Shinobi?

The Headbands Ninjas Wear Symbolize who they are Loyal to.
Then why Jiraiya, a leaf shinobi has different headband?

The symbol on Jiraiya's headband translate to

"oil" (油, abura)

The reason why Jirayia wears this symbol on this headband rather than the leaf symbol is to show his affiliation with the toads on Mount Myōboku

He often carried a large scroll on his back, and had a tattoo on his left palm, and he wore a horned forehead protector with the kanji for "oil" (油, abura), which denoted his affiliation with Mount Myōboku.

He also probably wore that instead of the leaf symbol because he would go on reconnaissance missions where he has to be undercover and keep his identity a secret.

Welcome to Anime & Manga! We appreciate your contribution, but pure opinion/speculation answer is discouraged. Instead, please [edit] and try to back up the answer by providing supporting sources/references. Thank you.

Hotel sign horizontally flipped
In episode 5, at around 5:13 mark, we see the car driving away from the camera. On the right the "HOTEL" sign is drawn horizontally flipped. Could it be that in real life such sign exists, or is this just a drawing error?

Where did you watch this?  If it was something on YouTube, it is common practice to mirror the image to avoid automatic copyright detection.  If that (or something similar) isn't the case, it would be good to rule that out.

I own the DVD..

The car also looks like it's driving on the right.  I wonder if this was done to appeal to a largely American audience?  (They'd be confused if the car were on the left, and a simple mirror is a good way to get around that.)

@Makoto That seemed like the likely culprit to me too, but I checked the Japanese BD and it turns out that there isn't any flipping going on.

First of all, this scene isn't happening in Japan, it's in Los Angeles, where Kaleido Stage itself is located, so it makes sense the car is on the right side.
While I do not have a definitive answer, there are two likely explanations:

During the production, while creating the scene they realized midway
or after its completion that it isn't in Japan, so they flipped the
background or the whole scene around.
The background was originally meant for cars coming towards the
viewer, not for ones going away from us, so they flipped it around
and didn't notice the sign or didn't have time to correct it.

The actual answer is more likely to be (or to be closer to) the latter, as the cars parking on the right side are actually on the wrong side of the road, their fronts are pointed towards the screen (If you don't have a driving license: in most countries this is considered illegal, including Los Angeles). Also, their driving wheels are on the right side instead of the left, while it's on the correct side in the police car a few seconds earlier. (But of course, this could be a production error too.)

Is Toru Hagakure constantly naked?
She seemed embarrassed to go barefoot and to be watched when she took her boots and gloves off. Since we can see when she is wearing those pieces of clothing does this mean she is constantly walking around naked?

Well, yes.
We know she can't make anything she has on her - including her clothing - invisible, so if she's totally invisible she's naked. We've seen her taking off her battle uniform (yes, the gloves and the boots) for tactical advantage.

But can she do the same thing Mirio had done with his uniform? making the clothes from the individual hair?

I think she is.
Even tho what Zach said might be true (and as for her gloves and boots, it might be for her allies to see her) when she get her winter uniforme (in chapiter 194) she says that she's freezing when Kyoko ask her if she is cold. (so UA could probably have Make a warm one)
And for what Gorzius said, she doesn't have to be naked to make him a pervert for bumping into some parts

also during the final exam at the end of season 2 she put the cuff on snipe and his elbow bumped "something" on her and she immediately yelled at him for being a pervert while he defended that he couldn't see her.

I assume that with the technology disposable at UA they can manufacture something similar to Violet's suit from the Incredibles. It's not the suit that can turn someone invisible, but the person's powers that turn the suit invisible. The suit turns invisible with the person's powers (so for Toru, because she can't turn her powers off just yet it would be activated once she put it on) So along with Class A's costumes, Toru got hers which is a one piece suit. I assume and the gloves and boots are her own, which would explain why she needed to take them off.
As for the logistics I think UA would have considered light refraction or something like that as we can see she figures out she can manipulate that too

Yes I do think that Toru Hagakure is always naked because in season 1 episode 5-6-7 while they were taking the test with All Might, when she came with her partner she was taking of her boots and gloves and then her partner had thought,"I can't believe there is a naked girl standing right next to me". Plus we have never seen toru in human form.

Which episode did it show her partner thinking that?

Why "Father Roberto" but "Father Hiraga"?
In Vatican Miracle Examiner, the main characters are often addressed as Fathers Roberto and Hiraga. Thus, Roberto is addressed by his personal name, whereas Hiraga is addressed by his surname. (Hiraga's full name, using English-style ordering, is Josef Kou Hiraga. Josef seems like a name taken upon entering the priesthood.)
Why is there such a discrepancy? What I've seen in the past (e.g. in The Brothers Karamazov) suggests that at the very least, it's not unusual for priests to be addressed as Father + $personal_name, and Hiraga's form of address does not fit that.

It seems this is a highly speculative question.
From research, I found out that the formal way to speak to a priest is  Father + Name + Surname.
Still, as is, those are not mandatory rules, and the priest might prefer to be called a specific way and say so to his congregation.
So, the discrepancy between Father Roberto and Father Hiraga could be because of his personal choice.
Or because people read his name in the japanese order and see Hiraga as the first name.
It also might the decision of the writer to apply japanese adressing etiquette to the way people call the character.
I don't think a definitive in scenario answer will be possible.

Accepting this since it seems as definitive as we'll get. Father + $surname seems more common, at least in a Catholic context (which doesn't apply to my Brothers Karamazov example), but there seems to be some inconsistency.

How is an anime based on western-literature made?
I just saw some anime that are based on western literature. I was just wondering how is it done. I mean, does the anime production company have to ask permission from the author of the books? If so, what if the author has passed away? And what kind of permission do they have to take? Like some anime that are based on western-books have modifications to the real story, so do they inform the author about all the modifications? Thank you.

Removed my answer, it was pretty much the same as Dimitri's but he sent it in a bit sooner.

If the piece of literature is not part of the public domain, they will have to obtain the rights either at the original author or publisher, as the author may or may not hold actual rights over the product after publishing.
In the case of a deceased author whom holds the rights, it might get a little bit more complex. Considering Dead artists can be kept alive, and make a killing
The actual permissions / allowed modifications are usually decided upon during the inquiring of a license. Here they can either determine that no changes are allowed, or they are free to do as they please.
Usually if somebody wishes to obtain said rights, they would hire a lawyer, as obtaining the rights, setting the terms and options, and the costs that come with it are surrounded by a lot of legal rump slump

Was Alter Mysterious Heroine X's third form inspired from Star Wars?
In Fate/Grand Order, Alter Mysterious Heroine X's 3rd stage looks like this

to me she looks very much like a Sith Lord from Star Wars because

The Sith often wore black hoods
Alter Mysterious Heroine X's Excalibur looks like a Red Light Saber
She looks like she is using Force Lightning
She has eyes like that of The Emperor and Anikin

So I am wondering, was Alter Mysterious Heroine X's third form inspired from Star Wars?

Based on the Mysterious Heroine X (Alter), this form is indeed based on being a Sith Lord!

オルト・ライトニング (Alter Lightning) and her double-bladed lightsaber is a parody of Red Lightning and the double-bladed lightsaber used by Darth Maul in Star Wars.

You can see this double-bladed attack on Youtube
This is due to the fact that, prior to the English release in June 2017, there was a Saber Wars Event in January 2016 for the JP release. This appears to be a parody based on the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in December 2015

Why doesn't Minato use Sage mode against the "Masked Man"?
We all know that Minato was able to use sage mode, but when the nine-tails attacked the hidden leaf, why didn't Minato go into sage mode and destroy the "Masked Man"

Sage mode requires you to be still and absorb nature energy. In the time of crisis, Minato didn't have the time to sit still and enter sage mode

I know, but he had time, because of his flying thunder god. However, in Naruto's case, he couldn't use the flying thunder god, so he wouldn't have time. In Minato's case, he could've just entered sage mode and then teleported. The flying thunder god technique makes up for the time that is needed for sage mode.

Your argument is not clear. How do you say that Minato had time to enter sage mode? Cuz teleporting makes you move which avoids you from entering into sage mode.

First of all Naruto uses clones to absorb the energy for him and because Minato is restricted to only one or two clones it is not an effective strategy to divide your chakra and lose the ability to use all your power when you need to. Second, I think Minato was not as good as Naruto and Giraya in controlling the natural energy. And lastly the flying thunder does not make up for the lost time, while Minato is sitting still to absorb the natural energy the enemy could cause too much damage. he could teleport from one place to another not from one TIME to another.

In the 4th great ninja war Minato himself says that he can't use sage mode efficiently. This because it requires a lot of time to gather that much chakra, and he is not adept at using sage mode.

Kishimoto didn't think of it lol, plus if he had used sage mode we wouldn't have the great story we have today so i rather have this great story with some plot holes. just like on star wars why didn't obiwan use force run to save qui gon instead of running normally when he had clearly used it at the beginning of the movie to get away from the droidekas.

Please include relevant sources/references. As it stands, it is more of an opinion or an assumption without anything to back it up.

Why is there an episode 1A and 1B on Crunchyroll?
I'm starting the series Re: Zero on Crunchyroll and I noticed theres an episode 1A and 1B, what is this about?

I found a twitter post answering this exact same question and it appears that Crunchyroll merely split the one-hour episode in two parts. You should start with A, then continue to B, and then continue chronologically.

Episode 1 is an extended 50-minute episode, which is double the length of a typical anime episode. So they split it into two parts, so that both parts would be the length of one episode.

The existing answer from three years ago already says basically the same thing. I don't see what this adds.

How were #35's vectors stopped in episode 12?
In the midway of the 12th episode the #35 Diclonius failed to use her vectors. Also just before she failed to do so, she was attacking Nana or #7 at the edge of the bridge. The #7th saw something at the #35th's chin/neck and one of the #7th's vectors attacked and took #35 by surprise. Soon after the attack the #35 was no more able to use her vectors. So my question is what did #7 do to stop #35 from using her vectors? Because nothing was shown as to what was #35th's weakness and how did #7th find that weakness.

#7 hits #35 in the forehead at 6:00. And that turned off #35's vectors. But the exact mechanics seems to be unexplained.

Maybe there was an explanantion in manga? I haven't read it yet. Have you? @Mysticial

No I haven't. The manga supposedly diverges significantly from the Anime anyway.

The vectors are unable to be used when the Diclonius is in pain. That's why the scientists keep them in pain. They won't be able to use their vectors to escape. The reason why #35 can't use her vectors after #7 hits her in the head has a lot to do with this weakness. Maybe the blow affected her frontal lobe in some way.

Why was Luffy never offered a Shichibukai position?
I recall that a shichibukai needs to have quite a good bounty, and be very strong. So why was Luffy never offered the position? I mean his second bounty was higher than Crocodile and Hancock, so if we say he offended the World Government in the Enies Lobby arc, then before that, he was eligible, and even afterwards, we can't say he's not eligible; let's not forget Doflamingo threatened tenrybito with revealing some information, and his status was not revoked.
So why not?

First time around when Luffy took down Croc, BB offered to take the position of Shichibukai by presenting the marines with Ace. It was an offer the Marines could not pass up on, so they did not think of any other suitable candidates.
Also, since the credit for taking down Croc was given to Smoker, Luffy was relatively unknown. This further emphasized the reason as to why he was not considered because Shichibukais would generally be selected from feared and notorious pirates.
After the war of best, there were three vacant positions for the Shichibukai. But none of them were offered to Luffy. This is because Luffy by then has declared war against them by burning the flag of WG. He attacked Ennis Lobby, Impel Down and Marineford the three symbols of the Marines, he punched a Celestial Dragon and he rung the Ox bell 16 times which declared the coming of a new age of pirates. All this made Luffy as someone who would be an enemy to the world government not some random pirate like the other Shichibukais who were even though notorious pirates did not directly meddle with the affairs of the World Government.
This is the reason he was not offered the position.
Also considering Luffy, like Ace he would have never accepted that position because that would limit his freedom.

Yes but Ace was offered the position though

So you think he could become yonkou if one of them goes down? #WholecakeIslandArc

No as I said, when Croc was defeated Luffy was not offered because he was not well known and BB had already asked for it.
After that Luffy has declared war against the WG by burning their flag, punched a Tenryubitto, attacked Ennis Lobby, Impeldown, Marineford etc. So there is no way they will give him a Shichibukai position.

Because Blackbeard made a deal that he'd bring them Luffy's head to become a warlord. By the time Blackbeard had renounced his position, Luffy had already declared war on the world government, defeated another warlord, destroyed their judicial island, led a mass prison break from their prison island, and partook in a war against the government at the marines's headquarters, punched a world noble, and completely defeated their secret assassination squad CP-9. By that point, they didn't want anything to do with him besides bringing him to justice. Now they even revoked Law's status just for allying with him.

Well, for starters, despite being eligible for the position, he gained that meaty bounty after defeating a former Shichibukai, and while that may qualify him for the position, Luffy also thwarted Operation Utopia, which was covered up by the
World Government to give the credit to Smoker and hide the fact that the whole Shichibukai system is flawed and prone to abuse. Luffy becoming a Shichibukai would make the public question what deeds he had done in order to earn the position, and may expose the truth that it was a pirate that saved Alabasta, not the Marines. Also, while it is the World Government's decision, I doubt the Marines will agree with the decision of making Luffy a Warlord post-Alabasta, especially Smoker.

One answer can also be that the World Government considers all D's as the enemy of world government or just the fact that luffy is the son of Dragon is enough reason to not to make luffy their ally by making him a Warlord.

That is not valid argument. Ace was offered one despite the fact that he was a D and the son of Gol D Roger. But Ace refused it.

@Ashray It was unknown to the world that he was Roger's son. Perhaps even the fact that he was a "D" anyway

The Shichibukai position isn't tied to bounty or even personal strength, it's tied to influence. Mihawk and Crocodile were given the position despite their low bounties because they had become well known around the world by then. Hancock was also offered the position at a fairly low bounty because of how early she became famous and because the World Government didn't want to make enemies with the Amazons and Buggy was given the position after Marineford due to his influence on other Pirates.
The Shichibukai have to be well known and respected or even feared as it is their responsibility to hunt other pirates. Luffy was largely unknown for quite some time, not really being a respected name until after Marineford by which he had already crossed the World Government thrice over.

Well, here's my theory. I think the fact that Luffy is the son of the most wanted man on the planet "Monkey D. Dragon" is enough to stop them from making him Sichibukai.
Secondly, if there's a once-in-a-blue-moon chance that they had offered him to become a Sichibukai, then without any doubts Luffy would've refused it because he does not want to work under someone. Otherwise, he would have taken Ace's advice to become White Beard's crew member.

The Gorosei and the heads of the Navy know who Luffy is. Even when the rest of the world thought Smoker did everything, the Gorosei/Navy knew the truth. They even knew things that he didn't, like, the fact that his father was Monkey D. Dragon.
Garp knows that Luffy carries that same spirit in him, hence all the love fisting. He was close with Sengoku, and if he thought Luffy would do it, he definitely would of spoken up, but Luffy always told Garp "I want to be a Pirate, no Navy".
The Gorosei wouldn't want him anyway, due to the true purpose of the 7 Warlords, which is to do all the underhanded and sneaky crap the Navy can't be caught doing. They know if Luffy ever got a hold of the info they are hiding from the public, he would stop that immediately. Not that Luffy would figure anything out, but, once Nico Robin explains it to him, well you get the picture.
So, basically, he wouldn't do it and they don't want to ask him. Especially since Sakazuki is Fleet Admiral now. That dude is a whack-a-do who killed his bro.

I actually hate sakazuki. Power of lava, has the coldest heart we have yet to see. How does that even work...

I think it's a case of "Justice" being a crucible. He's just burnt away all the unnecessary bits.

Luffy's goal isn't having a position like a king, leader, or a Shichibukai.... cause he doesn't want to be controlled, he wants to have fun, great adventure, exploring, and things like that, that's why he is so close to the Red Hair Crew. When Luffy was a kid, they came and told him stories of their adventures, so that being a pirate for him is the meaning of freedom, he even refused being the boss of the grand fleet (chapter 800). As he said "I wanna be the pirate king not an important person".

Do we know Bakugou's actual hero name?
I couldn't find any notions of his final choice in the manga, and I think he does not mention it anywhere. Is there any reliable source for his hero name, or it has not been decided / revealed yet ?

Hiroshiki's first draft has a name, that roughly translates to Ground Zero.

But in my opinion, Kachhan is not too bad either.

What chakra natures does Naruto have in Boruto?
During the war, Naruto received all of the chakra natures along with the lava, magnet, and boil releases (and yin, yang, and yin-yang release). I've watched Naruto Shippuden completely and Boruto (to the current episode) but I haven't read any manga, so I was wondering if it was ever revealed if Naruto still has those chakra natures or if they were only because

 he had all of the jinchuriki in him

Also, what chakra natures does he currently have access to?

If he is back to basic it should be wind again but lets see

Naruto can control all chakra natures I believe, he just has a natural affinity towards wind chakra, as shown in the test with the chakra paper. It showed Sasuke to have an affinity for lightning chakra but he still has no problems creating a huge fireball jutsu.

@Gravinco Is there any proof that he can still control all chakra natures (How do we know if his powers over the chakra natures were temporary only because of the tailed beasts or not)

@JohnD After the fourth great ninja war Naruto was 'allowed' to keep a piece of chakra from each tailed beast so that they could use Naruto as a platform to communicate. Also, in the latest Boruto chapter we can see Naruto using an earth wall which we have never seen him use before. I based my previous comment on this.

@JohnD  Should I provide English translation for entire entry as well?

If you can @AbhishekMishra

well why not, but that will make post long. I hope that's not a problem.

@AbhishekMishra of course not

As of now, in the Fourth Databook, which contains all data of Naruto by Kishimoto himself, lists following aspects of Naruto as a Shinobi
1.)Fire Element
2.)Wind Element
3.)Lightning Element
4.)Earth Element
5.)Water Element
6.)Yin- Yang Release
7.)Yang Release
8.)Kekkei Genkai user

波乱うずまく第四次忍界大戦。 「個」の力が突出したマダラとオビトに対し、ナルトは「絆」の力で立ち向かう。 仲間達との「繋がり」こそが、巨大なる力に打ち勝つ術だと信じるからだ。仲間達の 援護、そして伝わる熱き「想い」が、ナルトに大きな力を与える ――ナルトを以て＂無限月読＂をも超えると言わしめた、 ”忍連合の術” が、ここに完成した。
The Fourth Great Ninja War was tumultuously whirling. Facing the power of the“Individual”that Madara and Obito pushed forth, Naruto opposed them with the power of “Bonds”. With his“Connection” to his comrades, he surely believed in them (in order for them to unleash) a jutsu to overcome a huge force. With the support of his comrades and through the feverish “Feelings” that they conveyed to him, Naruto granted them a great power. Naruto he made them say that (they could) even surpass the“Infinite Tsukuyomi”with the “Shinobi Alliance Jutsu”. It was completed (on the battlefield).

Once Again, They Become Team 7
大蛇丸の ”穢土転生” で復活した歴代火影と共に、うちはサスケが戦線参加。ナルト、サクラ、 そしてサスケ…約四年の時を経て、木ノ葉の第七班は復活した。 それぞれの思惑はありつつも、 里を守ることに変わりはない。 力を合わせて共闘する第七班は、 空白の時を感じさせぬほどに、 絶妙な連携を見せるのだった。
Together with the former generations of Hokage, who were resurrected by Orochimaru’s “Edo-Tensei”, Uchiha Sasuke participated on the war-front. Naruto, Sakura, and then Sasuke….approximately four years had elapsed. It was the comeback of Konoha’s Team 7. Even though each of them had their own opinions, it didn’t change (their will to) protect the village. Team 7 joined forces for a united front, to the extent where they could not feel that a blank space of time (had elapsed). They showed superb cooperation (with one another).

仲間は裏切るかもしれない。戦争は再び繰り返されるかもしれない。それなのに、なぜ命を懸けてまで戦うのか ！？茨の道と知りながら、なぜそこを進むのか。 世に絶望したオビトの問いに、ナルトは己の「忍道」を示す。 自分の言葉は曲げない――その言葉通り、ナルトはどんな困難があろうとも、夢を諦めない。。。 ！ ナルトがめざしている「火影」 とは、その道のりが険しいと分かっていても、先導を切って歩いていく者だからだ！！
Perhaps your comrades may betray you. Perhaps wars may be repeated again. However, why do you risk your life to that extent for battle!? While knowing that it will be a thorny path, why do you advance (to the battlefields). Obito proposed a question as he was in despair about the world. Naruto pointed out his own “Ninja Way”. ‘I won’t go back on my words’――(He would quote it) verbatim, no matter the difficult (situation that he faced). He would not abandon his dream…! Naruto was aiming to be “Hokage”. Even though he knew that it would be a precipitous journey, Naruto was someone who would continue to walk (towards his goal) by cutting through with his leadership!!

He has all of them because he is powerful and is the sage of six paths son and nine tails chakra. With that, it can absorb nature energy with the six paths. Since the six paths is the creator of ninjutsu, he probably had to have all the chakra releases. Also, nature energy is all element of nature, fire, water, sand.

"Since the six paths is the creator of ninjutsu, he probably had to have all the chakra releases"... why "probably"? Do you have any sources/references to backup your answer?

1: He is not the son of The Sage of Six Paths ( Naruto had the chakra of The Sage for a period of time to fight with Kaguya), 2: The Sage did not create ninjutsu (his son Indora did, The Sage created Ninshou which is a different thing), 3: nature energy is not a collection of all of the chakra releases,

Why Doflamingo chose Dressrosa?
Doflamingo said he is back to his old kingdom. Why did he said that and what was the point of choosing Dressrosa as his kingdom?

The Donquixote Family ruled Dressrosa 800 years ago. Here is the  wiki article for that:-

The Donquixote Family is a royal bloodline which ruled the Dressrosa Kingdom eight hundred years ago and one of the twenty royal families which founded the World Government.

This is reason for him saying that he is back to his own kingdom as his ancestors were the original rulers.
They were replaced by Riku Family when they shifted to Marijois. Here is the wiki article for that:-

Dressrosa was one of the 20 Kingdoms that fought the Great Kingdom. The Donquixote family originally ruled Dressrosa but the family moved to Mariejois and were replaced by the Riku Family.

Doflamingo was a World Noble when he was born but his Father left that position when Doflamingo was young. Here is the wiki article.

Forty-one years ago, the child Donquixote Doflamingo was born in the noble bloodline, and two years after, the second child Rosinante was born. After enjoying eight short years of the Celestial Dragons' privileged lifestyle, Doflamingo was evicted from such luxuries when his father, Donquixote Homing, abdicated their status as World Nobles in order to live a normal life with his family of four; Homing was always considered by his compatriots as blasphemous and disgrace to the title of World Nobles. However, Doflamingo was still clinging onto his heritage by asking his father to buy more slaves and demand subservience from commoners, an attitude that Homing intended to reform.
The family took residence in a country in the North Blue, which has no ties to the World Government. As a last favor, the Government has prepared an adequate manor and financial assets for the family to live with. Although Homing wished for a humble and peaceful life with his family among humanity, away from Mariejois' spoiling nature, little did he knew at the time that the island they resided on was filled with people who bear deep grudges against the Celestial Dragons, which would, in the future, become a stepping stone to Doflamingo's descend to darkness.
Shortly after taking residence in the country, when it became known that the Donquixote Family are former World Nobles, their manor was burned to the ground by angry victims of the Celestial Dragons, and the family was forced to hideout in a small shack in the junkyard, much to Doflamingo's disgust. Barely escaping from constant pursuit, Homing tried to contact Mariejois to save his sons and wife, but the Celestial Dragons retorted how the family cannot return from their choices and coldly hung up. Consequently, the family was stuck living in poverty and on the run, and the two children were beaten up when they tried to steal food; they resorted to eating out of trash bins, and though they brought some food for their mother, she died from illness brought by the deplorable household, much to her family's broken hearts. Eventually, the three remaining Donquixote Family members were found and caught, and then hanged onto a wall above flames, tortured and beaten. While Homing and Rosinante were screaming for mercy, Doflamingo viciously blamed his father for condemning the family to such a hellish life, and snarlingly swore to kill all the commoners in revenge, turning the citizens' hatred to horrified shock.

Doflamingo killed his own Father for doing this. Here is the wiki article for that:-

Two years later, Doflamingo's suffering drove him over the edge, awakening his Haoshoku Haki, knocking out the citizens. Trebol, a knowledgeable 18-years old, saw this as the advent of his new king, gifted Doflamingo with a Devil Fruit and an ornate flintlock. Armed with a viable weapon, Doflamingo killed his own father, for whom he holds with contempt for condemning the family into the life of outcasts. The child then took his father's head back to Mariejois, hoping to return to the privileged life as a Celestial Dragon. Unfortunately for him, the World Nobles already considers the Donquixote Family as a "family of traitors" for fraternizing with commoners, and refused to let him return. However, armed with the knowledge of Mariejois' national treasure, Doflamingo was considered a threat and the World Nobles tried to kill him; they failed and the former Celestial Dragon escaped.
Doflamingo became a pirate with the goal of revenge against the World Nobles who refused to reinstate his status by destroying the world they lord over, and he gathered various recruits whom became a new incarnation of the "Donquixote Family", whom he saw as his new, treasured family.

How Shanks and his crew were able to survive a clash with Kaido pirates?
In the ANIME, it was mentioned that before coming to marineford, Shanks clashed with Kaido pirates. How come Shanks and crew were able to survive the war with Kaido pirates without being much damaged?

Actually that was in the manga as well.

Which chapter of the manga?

I can't remember. Somewhere between chapter 1 and 894.

There is a speculation, but no official source, that no war actually happened. Kaido was going to stop Whitebeard from goving to Marineford, but Shanks stopped Kaido from doing so instead. What some people think, is that Shanks merely stood in his way. If had been a war, then it must have been mentioned. I could be, maybe, that Kaido tried to start something and sent some people stir up something but Shanks stopped them. In that case, Kaido would not go to war with Shanks because:

Kaido is a pirate, so he obviously wanted to kill Whitebeard when he had the chance at that point,

BUT

He had a chance. That was the fact that Whitebeard was not ready for battle with someone else meant that a surprise attack could do him serious damage and make him late for Ace. In Shanks' case, red hair was ready for Kaido. That meant that a war much worse than all of Marineford battle would happen. Kaido was not ready for that. In other words, when Shanks stopped the ships (like I said that was a guess) Then Kaido backed off knowing that this was not the time.

That said, the same reason could explain why the Yonkou don't have fights everyday with each other. They would wear down, all 4, too soon for the marines to stop them.

Why Jackie Chan is on Dragon Ball?
In episode 21 of Dragon Ball, an old warrior called Jackie Chan (a fake name for master Roushi) was introduced.
Dragon Ball is from 1985 and this is one of the earliest episodes, was Jackie Chan even famous back then?
Is it a joke that only a few have understood or was it understandable to everyone?

Wikipedia gives Jackie Chan's breakthrough film as having been in 1978 and his first big Hollywood film in 1980, so he presumably would have been known by then.

Note that it's Jackie Chun, a parody of Jackie Chan. And as the comment above mentions, he was already famous by the release of the comics.

Wikipedia notes that Jackie Chan's first breakthrough was the 1978 film Snake in the Eagle's Shadow.
He was already well known in the 1980s. His first Hollywood film was The Big Brawl in 1980.
Furthermore, we should note that dragonball is a Japanese series. From wikipedia,

Back in Hong Kong, Chan's films began to reach a larger audience in East Asia, with early successes in the lucrative Japanese market including The Young Master (1980) and Dragon Lord (1982).

Emphasis mine.
It's pretty clear that he was at least somewhat well known in Japan at the time.

Jackie Chan and Akira Toriyama were actually fans of each other's work by that point and had met, possibly before that episode. Akira Toriyama VS Jackie Chan

Piccolo-Gohan fusion, can it be allowed in the Universal Tournament?
In Dragon Ball Super episode 88th, according to some subtitles in a popular anime webpage, confirmed by Anime SE member Aki Tanaka who speaks japanese, Gohan literally says to Piccolo "If so, should we create a fusion technique, or combination (attack)?" .
what does the original japanese audio says in episode 88th when Gohan is talking to Piccolo and asks him to do something in the battle together?
According to what's been said up to today about the Universal Tournament rules, could this be allowed?

To be clear: the statement was from my comment which I have deleted since I was wrong (and posted the correct one as an answer). Probably you should delete this, or change the question if you could.

Well, the Fusion dance is a technique that the characters can perform without external assistance or tools, so in this sense it should be allowed...
The problem is that this technique would "create" an eleventh fighter

With the introduction of Kefla, Fusion is definitely allowed, even with Potarra earrings.
Techniques which causes fusion are definitely allowed, as seen in the example of Aniraza.

Who is the blond woman in Blame?
I haven't been able to figure out who this character is; I don't think they mention her name during the movie at all.  I find it kinda strange because she is a pretty prominent character.  Does she appear in the manga?  I haven't read any of it.

In the manga, does not appear, at least in the same way she did in the movie, there are lots of electric fishers but not everyone is named.
So she perhaps appeared but not named.

According to this site (https://www.anisearch.com/anime/10968,blame/characters) her name is Fuku. Is the only info I found about her.

Why can only Luffy and some few characters can use Emperor's Haki?
Is there any link between being a D and emperor's haki?

So far, it's only known that it's a rare ability, only know that it shows in people with the disposition of a king, but it's not linked to the will of D. There's plenty of characters with the Emperor's Haki without the D name: Hancock, Rayleigh, Shanks, Whitebeard, etc. Heck, the only Ds that have been shown to have the Emperor's Haki so far are Luffy and Ace.

@paulnamida Rayleighs full name is Silvers D. Rayleigh. We don't know the full name of Shanks. But Doflamingo, Big Mom (Charlotte Linlin) and Katakuri got emperors Haki.

@xdn I don't think Rayleigh is a D, could you tell me when it is mentioned that Rayleigh is one?

@Gravinco You're right! It was probably a misinformation in the anime when I watched it the first time and kept it in my brain. Thanks for reminding me!

Conqueror's Haki is very rare ability that only 1 in a million can get.
Unlike Armament and Observation which can be gained through training, Conqueror's Haki cannot. You must be born with it.
Those with Conqueror's Haki are said to have a qualities of a King (or Queen if female). Which the show has shown with Roger (Pirate King), The YONKOs (Emperors), Hancock (Empress), and Doflamingo (Celestial Dragon).

is the legendary super saiyan 3 in the Dragon Ball Heroes manga?
AFAIK, in the Dragon Ball Heroes videogame appears the legendary super saiyan 3. Is this character in the Dragon Ball Heroes manga?

No. The character only appears in the Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2 Game. In the "Dragon Ball Heroes: Victory mission" manga, Broly appears as an antagonist under the command of Genome, however in his Super Saiyan 4 state.

Broly SSJ3 does appear in the manga. He is a character controlled by Nimu, who uses SSJ3 Broly.

It would be nice if you could provide some references to your answer, like a wiki page to clarify because you answer clashes with the accepted one.

Why does Violet Evergarden seem to have a habit of biting things?
I don't mean just the times when she bit the gloves to pull them off her hands, which may be done easier than with her prosthetic hands, but also these two moments:

After she received a puppy doll from Hodgins, she held it with her mouth. When asked why she chose the puppy doll, she replied she was called "Gilbert's dog" by Gilbert's brother, which may be interpreted as an apt nickname for her biting-like-a-dog behavior.
After Gilbert's brooch was bought back from the black market by Hodgins and returned to Violet, she again held it with her mouth while lying on her bed at night.

I found a discussion on Reddit, in which one redditor said

From what I understand it's because Violet's hand can't grip hard enough to put the glove on properly so she used her teeth instead.

I don't completely agree. After all, Violet performed a rear wrist lock on a customer, so she can grip hard enough.
Another viewpoint is that Violet did it because

she lacks feeling in her hands, but she still has feeling in her mouth.

This seem more plausible, but I still think she could feel more by touching with her cheek, which she did initially with the puppy doll.
Is there a better explanation to this curious behavior of Violet-chan?

A part of it could be that, because she's lost her arms, she defaults to her mouth. It's also pretty explicit that Violet is autistic.  Something called "mouthing behavior" is fairly common to autistic children (Violet is only 14, remember).
http://www.cwtherapy.com/mouthingbehaviors/
Violet can also be seen chewing her stuffed puppy in her sleep in the shot shown in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9selmtBzwEk
Personally, I think it's a combination of what myself, OP, and Ratchet Freak mentioned.

She has trouble writing with a pen and in the second episode we see her adjusting her fingers to type better. This means that her prosthetics are not perfect.
I disagree with point 1, it's much more likely that it refers to her following Gilbert around and obeying him like a loyal dog rather than anything biting related.
For point 2 it is very likely the feeling related reason.

She has prosthetic arms which means that she cannot really touch or feel stuff like you would do with living arms. Imagine you would be given a stuffed toy - you could stroke it with your hands to feel the texture. But she can only do it with her face and mouth.
On top of that, you can speculate that those prosthetic arms probably took quite some time to manufacture and to attach. So for a long time, she had no arms at all. Mouth was the best she had and so she still uses her mouth occasionally.

From what I gathered, her reason for biting things leads back to her inability to hold on with her hands when it mattered most. She is seen trying to drag Gilbert to safety using her mouth after losing both of her arms. She remembers this and is constantly haunted by the fact that she was helpless in that moment. So as a habit when she is feeling sad, lost and helpless she subconsciously repeats her actions in hopes to to do it right this time

Well I thought she does that because of Gilbert. When she lost her arms in the war she tried to save Gilbert with dragging him with her mouth. It was the last time she really touched him before he died. I think she does that to feel near to him especially because she mostly does this with things that relate to Gilbert. The dog which she chose because she claimed that Gilberts brother called her "Gilberts dog" and the brooch, which was a gift from Gilbert and a reminder of his eyes also

Is there definite proof that Beerus is stronger than Champa?
Is there definite proof that Beerus is stronger than Champa? I mean beyond someone saying that Champa is fat.

Beerus is stronger than Champa. We know this definitely in the episode where Goku and Vegeta meet Vados and Champa for the first time. When Goku asks Vados as to which of the two was stronger, Vados clearly replied that Champa was completely out of shape and hence implying Beerus was stronger. I have attached a clip of the same here.
In the manga, Beerus is shown to be one of the strongest, if not the strongest God of destruction across the multiverse in the Chapter where all the Gods of Destructions had to fight each other.

For the manga, I would say there is. Beerus participates in a fight with all the other gods of destruction. He's attacked by all the other gods of destructions together, and he manages to be one of the 2 last remaining fighters along with Kitela. For the anime, I can't comment since I dont recall statements or hints that shows he is.

I didn't notice that, he's so strong

What is that noise when an onsen scene opens up?
Many anime and JRPGs have Hot Spring/Bathhouse/Onsen scenes and in many of these, when it opens up there is this sound of like something hitting hollow wood, an example of which can be heard at the 4 second mark in these video of Gamers
what exactly is this sound? and does this sound actually exist in japan? particularly in Hot Springs/Bathhouses/Onsen?

The thing which makes these sounds is a type of 鹿威し (Shishi-Odoshi) or scaredeer, it acts similar to as what a scarecrow does, and the sound it makes scares away the wild animals.
And as for what device specifically makes that sound in Japanese gardens and onsen, is 添水 (sozu).

From Wikipedia

Sōzu is a type of water fountain used in Japanese gardens. It consists of a segmented tube, usually of bamboo, pivoted to one side of its balance point. At rest, its heavier end is down and resting against a rock. A trickle of water into the upper end of the tube accumulates and eventually moves the tube's centre of gravity past the pivot, causing the tube to rotate and dump out the water. The heavier end then falls back against the rock, making a sharp sound, and the cycle repeats. This noise is intended to startle any herbivores such as deer or boars which may be grazing on the plants in the garden.

Was the person hanging out with Eita at college, Nakajima?
During the first episode, we see Eita talking with Nakajima (supposedly his friend from the previous school) via a chatting application on his phone when he moves to Fukuoka and transfers to a new high school.

And, during the last episode, that is Episode#12 at the ending sequence we see Eita hanging around with a person talking about stuff.

My question is, were they the same person, as in Nakaji took admission in the same college as Eita. In the short lived conversation in the ending sequence there is no reference as to what his name might be.
My skepticism arises due to the fact that both in the avatar of the chat and the conversation during college, their eyes were kinda closed.

In the credits of episode 12, TAKANASHI Kengo is credited as voicing Nakajima. The character who speaks to Eita at the end of the episode could not be any of the other credited characters (the only unnamed ones are "wind band junior A", "wind band junior B", and "track-and-field junior", clearly none of whom are this character), so unless this character's voice actor went uncredited, he's Nakajima.

Oh, that'd make sense. Thanks for your answer!

Does Jiren use Ultra Instinct to some degree?
Jiren was able to fight Goku and put him in trouble when he was using half Ultra Instinct. Does Jiren also have Ultra Instinct? This is a shot from the preview of the next episode, where Goku using complete Ultra Instinct fight against Jiren. Dont both Goku and Jiren have the same kind of aura? If so, does this mean they both have Ultra Instict?

 No. Ultra Instinct a state which allows the body to completely react on its own, in other words, it helps maximise reaction time but in case of Goku, the transformation seems to act as a power multiplier which makes him absurdly strong. Jiren on the other hand, has a Very good reaction time and an absurd amount of strength. This is what makes him strong enough to take blows from Ultra Instinct Goku and him being able to dodge some of the attacks. We see this during the fight between Jiren and Hit. Even when Hit tried attacking from a different dimension and even during his time-skips, Jiren was still able to immediately react without much effort. This is why he was able to dodge a few attacks from Ultra Instinct Omen Goku. The only fighters who have Ultra Instinct currently would be the Angels and Goku.

It seems like the Anime is leaning towards the form being a manifestation of his skill with Ultra Instict, rather than a limit breaker transformation which let him use it like it appears it should be since Ultra instict is not a form for anyone else who uses it.

Does Jesus Christ exist in the Dragon Ball universe?
In episode 70 of the original Dragon Ball series, Krillin fights one of Fortuneteller Baba's minions, who is a vampire. After he's defeated, Oopa and Puar jump in, and they manage to defeat him.
To do this, Oopa stands like a cross, stating that vampires can't stand crosses. In the next angle, the vampire is shown panicking, as he pictures a crucifix over Oopa, which starts to radiate light with organ music playing, as the words "Jesus Christ!!" and "Oh God!!" scroll across the screen.
In order for a vampire to be afraid of a crucifix, then the religious aspect of it must exist in universe, and the scrolling text seems to confirm this. Therefore, I'm wondering: Does Jesus Christ exist in the Dragon Ball Universe?

 The answer to your question would be a no!Jesus Christ doesn't exist in the Dragon Ball Universe. However, there are multiple  Real Life references/ Fictional works that exist in reality which have been referenced on the show. A few other examples apart from the one you stated would be:The entire Pilaf Saga being a loose adaptation of Journey to the West, a famous Novel from Ming-era China.When Krillin kicks General Blue in the face without enough force to make his nose bleed and Blue complains about the Bleeding and compares it to the action of throwing red paint on the Mono Lisa.There's a grocery bag which says "Super Mario" on it, in Chapter 71 in the manga when Krillin and Launch come back to the Kame house.I have attached a list here with more similar references with regard to the same.

You can also point out this answer regarding real life references ;)

Does Vegeta new transformation/form has an official name already?
In the last episode of Dragon Ball Super, Vegeta got a new transformation/form. He eyes has pupils, he's super saiyan blue aura is darker and it has more sparks. Does this new transformation/form has an official name already?

Super Saiyan Blue 2 :P

i've heard ultra blue but I don't think that's canon

Not official, however, it seems to be similar to Freiza unlocking True Golden Freiza. Maybe this is the true Super Saiyan Blue transformation?

An animator said the aura has some features in common with Ultra Instinct aura. And when Vegeta was dodging Hiren hits Wiss said perhaps Vegeta was close to Ultra Instinct. May be this transformation is something close to Ultra Instinct

The name is Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Evolution, official name from Dragon Ball Heroes (which is non canon but official)

What is the criterion to get the Super Dragon Balls in the TOP?
I want to know if the criteria to get the Super Dragon Balls is to be the best fighter in the tournament of power, or the last man standing. Could you please clarify and at the same time link me to the episode number (with timestamp, if possible) where the Grand Priest States who get the Super Dragon Balls as well?

The criteria for the same hasn't been stated clearly. The Grand Priest only stated that the Universe with the Most fighters remaining in the end would be the winner and the Best performing fighter would receive the Super Dragon Balls. Generally, the last man standing would most likely be the best fighter. However, this might not be true considering Freiza who is weaker than Goku and Jiren is still standing.However, it is most likely that the Super Dragon Balls are going to be given to the last man standing because the other scenarios aren't possible.The fighter with the most eliminations get the Super Dragon Balls:  This is not possible as if the fighter happens to be from a Universe which is eliminated, he would be erased. Example:(Suppose Jiren wins and Universe 11 wins, Goku and Vegeta would still have the most eliminations but they wouldn't get the super dragon balls as they would be erased.)The strongest fighter: It is fair to assume that the strongest fighter wouldn't be eliminated as there isn't anyone strong enough to eliminate him. The only way he wouldn't obtain the Super Dragon Balls is if the other team has more fighters remaining. Then the Super Dragon Ball would most likely be given to the strongest/ best-performing fighter on the opposing team. Example:(Suppose Jiren is still stronger than Goku and doesn't get eliminated. Also, Goku and Freiza remain in the end. Jiren wouldn't get the Super Dragon Balls even if he happens to be stronger as Universe 7 would have more fighters).The last man standing: This is most likely the criteria as there aren't any special cases like the other 2 scenarios where someone who doesn't clearly fit the criteria isn't rewarded the Super Dragon Balls. This only problem with this case would be if equal number of fighters from more than 1 Universe remain. However, it could easily be solved by having them fight until only 1 fighter is left.

Could you tell me the episode number in which the grand preist talks about this?

The first episode of the Universe Survival Saga ie Episode 77, The Grand priest mentions the same when he goes to the sacred world of the Kai's in the 7th Universe and asks Goku to assemble a team for the exhibition match.

Why did Satoo use "Fabrication" when the flying ants attacked?
In episode 6 of Death March, a swarm of flying ants attacks the town Satoo is in. Immediately prior to their arrival, he tells some of the military people (Zena's coworkers) about them. When he does so, he's shown to have used the skill "Fabrication" (詐術):

What was he fabricating (or going to fabricate)? His statement appears to me to be truthful.

It's a problem with the translation. In the LN, Satoo says "A giant flying ant like this would never act on its own. Most likely, more will follow. You should send out as many scouts as possible…" (this comes from the Yen Press translation of the novel). He's coming up with an feasible explanation with the Fabrication skill as to why he's sending the girls to find their weapons since he can't reveal that he has a radar.
In this scene, the dialogue gets cut short, managing only to say "Kono flying ant wa mure de..." which would be roughly be "This flying ant... the swarm..." which in a complete form I guess he wanted to say "A flying ant doesn't go far from its swarm" which would be along the lines of what's said in the YP translation, YP's translations are quite liberal so it could just be a rephrasing.

Are the new Dragon Ball movies canon?
The new Dragon Ball movies (Battle of gods, Resurrection of Freezer, and the new Dragon Ball Super movie coming in December 2018) have directly involvement of Akira Toriyama, unlike the original movies which were made by Toei and had no involvement of Toriyama at all. Are these new Dragon Ball movies canon unlike the original ones?

The "Battle of Gods"  and Ressurection of Freiza" were both implemented in the anime, hence they are obviously canon. However, certain aspects of the movies have been retconned in the anime for example Beerus utilising 10% of his power against an SSJ2 enraged Vegeta.SSJG Goku being equal to 70% of Beerus's Power.More emphasis has been laid on Gohan being weaker in the anime.Piccolo is killed by Freiza in the anime.The new movie coming out in December is supposed to be set after the end of the Tournament of Power i.e Dragon Ball Super. We know this based on recent comments from Akira Toriyama. Hence it is obvious that the new movie might very likely be canon as well. I've attached a source with regard to the same here.

Since Akira Toriyama was more involved in the movies than in the anime, shouldnt the movies be "more canon" than the anime?

What was the meaning of the scene of Albedo at the end of Overlord season 2 episode 10
At the very end of Season 2, Episode 10 of Overlord, Albedo is spending time with her Ainz dolls, when Ainz orders her to prepare for a raid to save a human.
Most importantly, the camera panned over to where she was looking, a banner of what I believe is the Guild symbol torn off the wall and thrown on the ground, then a banner in the background behind her, and Albedo is showing disgust towards her orders. There seems to be a lot of emphasis on those banners, so what exactly was going on in that scene.

What about the same scene but the manga, where she saids " I want to meet Ainz-sama. I want to meet him." In the scenes she seems to be playing with a small child version of Lord Ainz ,so she is either saying she wants to meet the child that she bears with Ainz or that she knows Lord Ainz is not who he is pretending to be and wants to meet the real human behind the Lord Ainz charade.

Albedo is playing with the Ainz dolls when she's interrupted by Ainz, but she's happy that Ainz will be talking with her or giving her an order. But her mood suddenly changes when Ainz mentions that Tuare has been abducted, she's fast at reading the situation and knows that Ainz will be ordering her for preparations to save that girl.
She still does raise an objection whether there is any value in saving an inferior creatures such as a human. She's also shocked after hearing that Ainz promised Tuare (an inferior creature according to Albedo) protection under his great name. She accepts the order but we can see that she's unsatisfied and not happy about this.

Still I don't understand, Ainz Ooal Gown. This is ridiculous.

It's probably about the fact that AOG was originally the name of the guild. So she probably just doesn't like the name, because it also refers to the other supreme beings that abandoned them. She hates that Momonga changed his name to that of the guild which abandoned him and all of Nazarick. She hates it because they not only abandoned the NPC's but they also left Momonga all alone (That's why the flag hung at the back is the Momonga's personal flag and the one trampled is that of AOG).
Ainz is incredibly lonely. It is just not showed that well in the anime

Today is the last day Yggdrasil's servers will run. Why not stay until
  the end - Momonga after Herehero-san logs out.

Albedo created an elite group in order to search for players in the new world, but it is also implied that she made the group so that she could kill the other supreme beings if they ever showed up (this follows up according to the @paul's answer above and makes sense)
Momonga loves his comrades dearly and knows their situation (about the server being shut down and their personal lives at stake). He knows that they didn't betray him but Albedo (being an NPC) is unable to comprehend it at all.

No, that's not it. No one betrayed me. The guild weapon, Staff of Ainz
  Ooal Gown. We played recklessly to make it. Some members used their
  paid vacation and others fought with their wives to make time and get
  the materials for this... That's right, everyone's livelihood was at stake.... It can't be helped that they all chose real life in the end

I didn't want to go into the Albedo's task force theory since it's still just speculation and HEAVY spoilers, but yeah, I agree with that theory as well.

She's showing contempt over the Ainz Ooal Gown banner, and worshipping Momonga's personal banner. She was made to love Momonga through her settings, so she's not really happy with him dismissing that name. She wants him to be Momonga, not Ainz. Another factor of her discontent is the fact that the rest of the NPCs of Nazarick would obey their creators orders before Ainz' (she questions them about this), so aside from Pandora's Actor, she's the only other one that would place Ainz above any other of the 41 Supreme Beings. Ainz taking over that name was done to raise awareness of the name to lure any potential comrade that might have been transported to that world, a prospect that Albedo seems to not be too fond of since it would lower Ainz authority in her eyes.
Let's say for example Peroroncino ends up being in the new world and joins Nazarick. If he were to order something to Shalltear that would conflict with an order from Ainz, Shalltear would comply with Peroroncino's order. This is not acceptable for Albedo. Momonga's authority should be unshakable in her eyes.

The very last thing she says (at least in the translation I watched) is "This is ridiculous", I took it as she will turn on him eventually, because she doesn't agree with his ideology or rather his decisions to treat humans that highly. What's your opinion on that :?

@Deadzone check out the complete answer now

@paulnamida thanks for your answer, I have used it as a reference to my theory below.

@Deadzone Albedo would do anything, even kill herself if Ainz ordered so. Her contempt is against the guild itself, the other members that abandoned Nazarick.

@paulnamida I see it makes sense now, thanks for the elaboration! :)
