What was Lilith during all the time?
Followup-question to Who crucified Lilith?
In Episode 14, Rei crucifies Lilith with the Lance of Longinus, this asks a serious question:
Lilith landed on earth billions of years ago. What was Lilith doing during all the time between that and until she is crucified? Considering Lilith is an almost god-like entity, it is weird to think that she just sits billions of years in Terminal Dogma just for a random EVA to crucify her.

Is the "keikaku means plan" meme from a real fansub?
I imagine most older anime viewers are familiar with the following image, featuring Light Yagami from Death Note with his dialogue subtitled "Just according to keikaku" and the note "keikaku means plan" at the top:

People often claim that this is screenshotted from a real fansub of Death Note. However, my attempts to discover the fan group responsible have met in failure. On their page Just According to Keikaku, Know Your Meme attribute the origin of the screenshot to "a fansub" without naming any names or sourcing this claim. Other results I found with a quick Google search give no further details either.
My question is, did this fansub really exist or is this just a meme invented to poke fun at low-quality subs?

Something that could pose a challenge to find it in this day and age is, fansubs walk a very precarious line between existence and DMCA, so there's a very, very good chance that the group who did this is long gone and haven't left a trace.  Worse still, keeping track of who subbed what can also be a challenge if it was reuploaded somewhere else (and they put their watermark over the sub), which - to be blunt - wouldn't surprise me if that's what happened here.

Based on quick research, looks like it was a fansub parody: a tweet by @kukuruyo, but proving a negative may be difficult. (Also related: TV Tropes - Too Long; Didn't Dub)

When exactly did the Black Saints die in the manga?
I have recently started reading the original Saint Seiya manga (Italian edition), and I am slightly confused by the events surrounding the Black Saints' demise. This question contains unmarked spoilers for the story arc in question and the Silver Saints arc.
During the battle at Mount Fuji, we see the four Bronze Saints besting their respective enemies, with at least Black Swan and both Black Dragons strongly implied to have died (Hyoga comments on this after Black Swan plucks off his eye and sends it to Ikki).
Immediately after, at the beginning of the Silver Saints arc, we find out that Asterion, Moses and Babel have killed three of the Black Saints (again?), while under the influx of an illusion that deceived them to think they were the real Bronze Saints.
My question now is:
Has Masami Kurumada or another authoritative source ever addressed the paradox of the Black Saints being apparently killed twice? Or is it a case of their "first death" being retconned a couple chapters later to help with the build-up of the Silver Saints arc?
A cursory search on Google didn't yield authoritative results on the topic, just some results on wikias that weren't explicative and/or just hypothetical in nature.
Asking only about the manga, as in the anime the circumstances surrounding the defeat of the Black Saints play out very differently.

Who killed everyone in the caves?
The story gets to the point where it is stated that the enigmatic leader of the Sorcerers of Zero was probably the one who started the plague that ended up getting Sorena burned at the stake, and also the one who killed everyone in the caves and stole the Grimoire of Zero.
But it is then revealed that the enigmatic leader is actually

 Thirteen, who has been pulling the strings on both sides all along.

But this guy is a seriously impressive sophist and gives contradictory responses to Zero at every turn. And when actually confronted about the killing everyone and stealing the grimoire, all he says something like, "The people in the caves were the same dead or alive." But this could also be taken to mean that he had no reason to kill them, and now I don't know whether he did or not. And the conversation dies there with no further explanation on it. Not only that, but Zero and him seem cool at the end, which would seemingly be odd if he murdered everyone they knew.
Additionally,

 It is both stated and shown that the plague was accidentally caused by two apprentice witches conducting an experiment.

And

 Once again, Thirteen's sophistry is on full display when he denies having orchestrated the witch's rebellion with the intention of quelling it. He claims he taught them magic in the hopes that they would use it properly, and it is simply that they strayed from the path that led to these events.

Who killed them? Are the light novels clearer on this?

Why was Albus so insistent on this deception?
Albus initially portrays herself as male, though we later learn she is female. She was strangely insistent too, going so far as to emphatically say,

boku wa otoko da! (I'm a man!)

Her high level of offense at getting mistaken for a girl seems a bit odd. I'm not entirely sure what she even gains from this. Was it to make sure the other two main characters don't learn

 that she's the granddaughter of Sorena?

Is that the only reason? Because I would assume that there were many other female witches in her order, so I doubt suspicion would immediately turn towards that conclusion. However, as far as a guarantee, I suppose pretending to be male could be argued to be an optimal way to divert suspicion. But is this the whole explanation?

What historical crime did Whitebeard Pirates commit?
In episode 1068 of One Piece, a member of CP-0 was seen talking to Izou, where the former mentioned that Whitebeard pirates have committed a historical crime.

In both anime and manga, the biggest battles Whitebeard pirates fought were the Marineford War for Ace and the Payback War against Blackbeard, both of which weren't related to World Government.
Then what exactly could it be?

Is it not possible that this will be revealed in a future episode?

Since Whitebeard pirates are almost all dead, I am not sure.

Also worth noticing that it is "Marine talk". Robin's "crime" is being alive, so was Ace's, Luffy first act of piracy was "helping Arlong on Conomi Island", Don Flamingo was a good guy and so was Crocodile as long as they were still useful, nothing weird happened during the void century, no one wiped any ancient civilization, the Celestial Dragons are a nice and welcoming group of adorable people that deserve to be loved and protected and most importantly spoiler for manga > 1044

The Marines are part of World Government, and arguably they're its most active branch. Therefore assaulting their headquarters and laying waste to them is already a crime against WG of historic proportion.

I don't know if your subtitles are an official translation. The English translation of chapter 1038 I am familiar with (it would be interesting to know what the original Japanese says) speaks of historic crimes of Whitebeard's crew, which may just refer to the total of their criminal activities.
Of those we aren't shown much (in point of fact, in chapter 965 we see the Moby Dick fleeing from Marine warships because Whitebeard thought that fighting them was pointless), but it stands to reason that while conquering and mantaining their infamous turf, the Whitebeard Pirates would evict WG officers, on occasion. It also stands to reason that plundering WG cargos would be part of their income.
I'll leave aside the issue of whether or not they were helping a world-class terrorist - which Whitebeard techincally was because of his previous affiliation with Rocks - escape capture, because a large portion of Rocks' story has been classified by the WG.

It may refer to the total number of their criminal activities, and it makes sense that they attached WG cargo occasionally for the loot for maintaining themselves and towns under their flag. I highly doubt Rocks part though, because most likely only Whitebeard was affiliated with Rocks from his crew which he built after God Valley.

@Zero Helping a criminal escape capture may very well be a crime in OP, but as I said I don't want to speculate much further about that because WG ultimately wants those events not to be kept on record.

What was the ultimate purpose of the 25th New Macross-class Colonial Fleet in Macross Frontier?
In the 25 episode 2008 animated series Marcoss Frontier, was it ever established what the ultimate purpose of the 25th New Macross-class Colonial Fleet was?
For example, were they looking for a new planet to colonize, or merely to live nomadically in space so that no single event could wipe out the species.
In which episode is this specified?

Being a called a colonial fleet would imply that their intent was to emigrate to somewhere, to colonize something. Which they did, the Vajra homeworld, in the second movie, Wings of Farewell.

Was that their original planned destination? I don't remember it being mentioned in dialogue as the plan at time of launch.

I don't think any of the fleets had a target. Even the one that found planet Eden.

What kind of weapon is Choe Gu Sung holding in episode 16 of Psycho Pass?
!!WARNING: WHOLE QUESTION IS SPOILER FOR EPISODE 16, SEASON 1 OF PSYCHO PASS. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.!!
In Season 1, episode 16 of the anime series Psycho Pass, Shogo Makishima's accomplice Choe Gu-Sung went into the underground levels of the Sibyl Nona tower to discover the truth about the system. After successfully hacking the security software, he was able to breach the last door blocking his way and managed to capture the truth of the Sibyl System (a network of criminally asymptotic brains) in his phone. However, Joshu Kasei appeared and activated a dominator (presumably Shusei Kagari's) on him. After realizing he is going to be shot, Choe Gu-Sung turned around and shot Joshu simultaneously with a gun he carried into the underground levels. After Choe had been killed Joshu is seen struggling to stand, being quite severely injured and exposes her true identity, an android. Her face and part of her body was burned. My question is what type of weapon did Choe use? Looks like a gun of some kind, but certainly not a dominator or any similar weapon. Judging by its appearance, it's also not a traditional firearm. So, what exactly is it? I'll greatly appreciate any help on this matter. Thanks in advance!

Note: I've seen another Anime & Manga question what's happening to Joshu in Sibyl's core, but I'm not so sure if the gun was an acid gun, since the damage to Joshu's body was quite severe. Still, if you're all sure that it is an acid gun, then just tell me.

Who is Hanako's first 2D crush?
In the last segment of the last episode of the anime, Narumi asks the group who their first love in 2D is, and Hanako's reply is "Yuki Amami", which upon a quick Google search seems to point to a Japanese actress known for being an otokoyaku, or an actress designated to play the male roles.
However, being a real person, she is by definition not 2D, and neither does the trivia section on Fandom link to her, nor anyone else, so I am utterly confused: Hanako's not totally clueless like Naoya regarding anime and video games, so it couldn't have been her misunderstanding what is asked.
So who is this Yuki Amami?
Is he/she some lesser-known anime or video game character, or the Yuki Amami referenced in that Wikipedia article?
If the latter, what kind of reactions is the (non-)reply supposed to invoked in us viewers?
I thought Hanako's sexual orientation is straight, though she often indulges in some wild yaoi fantasies, so would her first and current 2D crush being a Bifauxnen make her bisexual?

The reactions of Japanese viewers seemed to refer to the same actress (e.g. "she is not 2D lol"), but there's not much commentary about it.

@AkiTanaka I think in the manga, the name is annotated with a "2.5D" below the speech bubble, but she's not even a prolific VA for anime or video games, so it still comes out as random to me.

OK, according to https://artsandculture.google.com/story/what-is-2-5-dimensional-2-5d-culture-ministry-of-economy-trade-and-industry-meti/YgUBMKSPP6O3LQ, stage productions and cosplays are 2.5D, so it kind of is a valid answer (for 2.5D anyway), though not something the average anime and manga fans are overly familiar with.

What's the current status of the United States by the end of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress: Battle of Unato Castle?
Since the Kabane outbreak started in Western Europe and spread across the world, what’s the current status of the United States as of the end of the series?
The U.S. is an industrialized potential superpower that spans across an entire continent and based on the level of industrialization see in Japan, I think it’s fair to say that the global outbreak occurred roughly post-Civil War. The U.S. military (or at least the Army) would have significant combat experience, albeit against evil slave-owning traitors and not armored zombies. The U.S. also has significant rail infrastructure spanning across the continent to help with logistics . Major terrain features like the Mississippi River and Rocky Mountains would give the U.S. an edge up in fighting the Kabane because they're natural terrain obstacles which act as a force multiplier.
However on the other hand, the U.S. received significant immigrants on the East Coast which definitely had to have had a few infected. If those infected made it to New York, then it would only be a matter of time before the East Coast was taken out. It doesn’t help that the US is probably still reeling from the aftermath of the Civil War and with the Kabane running rampant, it could give cause for Neo-Confederates to rearm and take up the mantle of Confederate independence.

Why did Lady Itoh order for the destruction of the 2000 muskets after Mizu (accidently) burned Edo down in Blue Eye Samurai?
At the end of S1 after the Great Fire of Meireki was finally over, Lady Itoh orders for the destruction of all 2000 muskets captured by the loyal Shogunate forces from the hands of the treacherous samurai under Fowler’s command. She gives this order to her eldest son, justifying it by saying that those guns almost brought Japan onto its knees and would've left the country ripe for European colonization.
I’m obviously looking at this from a modern American mindset but this is such an idiotic and suicidal plan of action. Don't get me wrong, I understand that the issue wasn’t necessarily the actual guns themselves since they were merely emblematic of the wider issue of European imperialism and foreign influences creeping their way into Edo era Japan.
You want your country to free itself from foreign influences and actors; fine, pretty understandable. My country fought for its freedom and independence to free itself from British rule. However, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with embracing something foreign (i.e. the guns) if it means securing the sovereignty and freedom of your country, especially against an adversary who’s already demonstrated that they have aspirations to take your country for themselves. We saw this exact same scenario play out IRL 2 centuries after the show when Commodore Perry forced Japan to open up for trade/diplomacy by having modern (at the time) warships anchored in Edo aiming cannons at the Shogunate. It compelled the Japanese to rapidly modernize and industrialize for the sake of national survival and in competition against Western powers operating in the region, culminating in the Meiji Restoration.
If we go back roughly half a century before the start of the show and rely on actual history, we saw the samurai armies of Japan rapidly adopt arquebus en mass from the Portuguese after they proved to be an immense success. Oda Nobunaga used them to great effect and those arquebuses helped him secure his grip on power in his quest to unify Japan.
And despite popular beliefs about Sengoku/Edo era Japan, guns actually were a trump card to a degree. No, the katana wasn’t the primary battle arm of the samurai during Sengoku Jidai, that would be first the Yumi/bow and arrow then the spear.
At the macro level, guns are great in the sense that instead of solely relying on 500 elite warriors who spent years perfecting their craft with the sword, you can amass 5000 or 50,000 soldiers and train them up to be at least semi-competent riflemen within a few weeks, giving you a numerical advantage with a weapon capable of equalizing the battlefield via fire superiority. Now instead of a very wealthy, well armed/armored warrior on horseback cutting down poor conscripted peasants en mass in a futile battle, those conscripted peasants now have a much better shot (hehe) at killing that warrior without needing as much resources or wealth to sustain them.
IRL Sengoku Japan also had a very arquebus-heavy army for its time; IIRC 1/3 or 1/4 of the invasion force assembled by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in his conquest of Joseon during the Imjin Wars were composed of troops armed with Tanegashima matchlocks/teppo.
Most importantly, why handicap yourself by making it more difficult to arm your country in the first place? I’m sure that if the Itoh Shogunate were to make their own guns and build an indigenous Japanese arms industry, they’ll keep a handful of Fowler’s guns as samples. However, with 2000 guns as a jumping off point, you have enough weapons to arm 2 enlarged battalions/a single regiment, which is a considerable force for an early-modern 17th century military. I’m sure that if Japan were to embark on building guns of its own they will succeed and add their own flare (like IRL) but I don’t see how that’s a reason to handicap oneself by taking 2 steps back and starting from scratch. I get it, you need a ton of infrastructure and logistics to support a stable arms industry but I don't see why Blue Eye Samurai's Japan can't replicate IRL Japan and adapt to the best of their ability.

I don't know the story, so just guessing. Maybe what is meant by the lady is that dependence on foreign import can be dangerous. In real history, (sorts of) guns were manufactured in Japan, but I think more powerful firearms were mostly imported around the Japanese civil war era (i.e. Edo - Meiji). (To-be) Meiji gov was backed by America, and Shogunate by France.

@sundowner just some slight corrections: Edo period was very peaceful, I believe you're thinking of the Sengoku era, which took place prior to the Edo period. Also, the Meiji Restoration AFAIK didn't have any actual official Western support on either side. America opened Japan up and some European nations supported the modernization of the country but that was about it (although a French Army officer did side with the Shogunate/samurai forces later in the Restoration, but AFAIK that wasn't indicative of any actual French support for the Shogunate).

How many years do namekians live?
In Dragon Ball Daima, a namekian was introduced who lived thousands of years. Is it ever mentioned in any official Dragon Ball Source how many years do namekians live?

It's worth noting that the namekian resident in the Demon realm was stated to have his lifetime extended multiple times (likely begining from the time the rest of the namekians fled the demon realm, but that is speculation). We do know that when at least some namekians left the demon realm, piccolo had come to earth, which was a time period long to enough to create to legend of the dragon balls on earth, for kami to split, and for kami and piccolo to become old (hence piccolo wishing for eternal youth). We can judge from piccolo's wish that they do not live forever, like the Kai's appear to.

What did they mean with "saiyajins remain young their whole life"?
As far as we knew, in Dragon Ball Z we were told (by Vegeta if I recall correctly) that saiyajin remains young more time to last more in the battle. But now in Dragon Ball Daima (at least in the spanish version I'm watching) we are told that "saiyajins remain young their whole life" . This could be interpreted like saiyajins never die of age. Is this really what they said in the japanese version?
What did they mean with "saiyajins remain young their whole life"?

I'm not sure (hence comment rather than answer), but my interpretation is that they remain physically young and healthy most of their life.  I.e., maybe they age up to 25 or so, and then don't seem to age further until they get really old.

Wiki https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Saiyan#Aging,_lifespan_and_growth has some references on the subject (which I can't really check, not even in English). The Dazenshuu (published 1995) apparently indicates that they do have a finite lifespan, ideally similar to the human one. Toriyama has also said that they are naturally longer-lived. In DBS chapter 7 a statement along the lines of Sayajins being still in their prime until the age of 80 is attributed to Vegeta.

Although probably the only old Sayajin ever shown was 100something-year-old Pan at the end of GT.

It should just mean they look young for the entirety of their finite life, and I don't think you have to take it too literally.

Is the Demon Realm in Earth's universe?
In Dragon Ball Super there were 12 universes. So where's the Demon realm? Is it in Earth's universe? Is it in another universe? Is it outside all universes?

In the warp dimension, they did have to specify going to universe 7, although it's unclear if the timelines are outside of the demon realm, as they are outside of the realm of the gods (hence the second zenoh in DBS). Also, the implication is that the Kai's are chosen from the residents of the demon world so it would make little sense that they exist in one of the universes.

There are a lot of devil fruits that can even be purchased in the black markets (weak fruits are easy to get right?)

Yonkos are surely in the position to have tasters (and that would disable the devil fruit), but Big Mom, for one, manifestly doesn't.

In the anime Shinsekai Yori I don't think they made it clear if Kirimaru's Giant Hornet colony was spared or not. But maybe Manga-readers or novel-readers may have more information. Can you please let me know?

Related/possible dupe? How were the Giant Hornets actually defeated?

@AkiTanaka Nope. That is a different question.

Where does One Piece: Gyojin Tou-hen fit in the One Piece continuity?
I watched 100+ episodes of the original One Piece series to see if I could get hooked with it and watch the whole series. It didnt work, but now I want to give it a second chance by watching One Piece: Gyojin Tou-hen, and if I like it (it's only 21 episodes apparently) I probably will resume watching the original series.
But I want to understand where this story fits with the episodes of the original series I've already watched, to understand it better and have more chances to like it.
Where does One Piece: Gyojin Tou-hen fit in the One Piece continuity ?

If you mean the special edited version that will be airing for the next few months, then fandom wiki claims that it's supposed to cover the 57 episodes of the original Fish-Man saga (from right after the time skip). This piece of information seems unsourced (i.e. the source they give does not mention the numbers 21 or 57), but if so then they would be episdes form 517 to 574, minus the filler episode 542.

is Goku SSJ1 or SSJ2 when he fights the Tamagami?
In Dragon Ball Daima, the first time Goku transforms into SSJ1 after being turned into a kid, he says he didnt know if he could do it. Then he fights with the Tamagami and we see sparks of electricity which first appeared in the SSJ2 transformation, but which later were used ocasionally in SSJ1 transformations.
So I was wondering, is Goku SSJ1 or SSJ2 when he fights the Tamagami? can he turns SSJ2 after being turned into a kid?

"...which later were used occasionally in SSJ1 transformations...", for example?

Does Dragon Ball Daima happens after or before Vegeta, Gohan and Piccolo got their new transformations?
After Dragon Ball Super, Vegeta, Gohan and Piccolo got new transformations. Vegeta got a transformation in the manga called Ultra Ego, and Gohan and Piccolo got a transformation in the movie called Gohan beast and Orange Piccolo respectively. Meaning we never saw these transformations in an anime Dragon Ball series.
Does Dragon Ball Daima happens after or before Vegeta, Gohan and Piccolo got their new transformations? Do we have chances to see them in these series?

Daima occurs before the start of Super. You may note that Gohan is absent during the events; that's because he's still in highschool along with Videl and they are not yet married. If you recall, the beginning of super was a party where it was revealed that Gohan and Videl had a child (that was the gimmick for Shenron's wish, with required 5 other Saiyans).
Meanwhile in Daima, Majin Buu was just defeated, as we saw in the first episode.

Which members of the Straw Hat Pirates can survive by their own deep underwater?
I'm watching One Piece: Gyojin Tou-hen . In episode five, Nami says Luffy and the others are going to want to fight, but they can't because they 10,000 meters underwater. But in episode 3-4, Luffy, Zoro and Sanji fought several thousand meters underwater, and two of their air bubbles broke, so they survived several thousand meters underwater
Which members of the Straw Hat Pirates can survive by their own deep underwater?

What do you mean by "survive"? Obviously all the Strawhats at that point, possibly with the exception of Brook, will drown in a couple of minutes. Are you interested in pressure specifically (I don't remember if it's something that is ever mentioned in OP, but it doesn't look like something that is being takent into account)?

If I remember right Nami was referring to them being overly zealous. Initially they didn't know that the bubbles were going to work like they did, and even when they were fighting from with-in them they could have popped. Because they were in the bubble coated sunny, they had the opportunity to fight in the bubbles. Normally though Jinbae (and this isn't until the end of big-mom arc) would be the only strawhat that could fight underwater like that. And FYI brook might not survive because he is a power holder, so even  though he can walk on sea water, he can't go into it.

@AKUMAnoONI The problem with Brook and water is that being submerged in water is not poisonous for DF users: it just weakens them enormously. In some cases it doesn't even deactivate their DF. The reason they die is that they can't stay afloat and need to breathe. Now, Brook does not operate on lungs: he's just kept alive by the fact that his DF granted him a "super soul" that can operate his body out of sheer will. So the questions are: 1) does he need to breathe? 2) if not, does his DF deactivate underwater? (continues...)

@AKUMAnoONI (continuation...) The answer to (2) seems to be "No", because, while he is kept alive by his "super soul", the reason he is alive in the first place is that his DF granted him a "second chance at life", meaning that he could return to his body after death only that one time. So if water could immediately shut down his life support, then he would die as soon as he is submerged (and that seems like something that has happened at some point).

I don't remember the name of the manga, but the female lead travels back in time. In her past life, she was sacrificed for her brother because she didn't manifest water powers. After traveling back in time, she develops incredibly strong water magic and forms a pact with the Spirit King. She also helps cure the male lead's curse, which made him blind.

Why doesnt Majin Buu have pointy ears if he's a demon?
In Dragon Ball Daima they mentioned all inhabitants from the Demon Realm have pointy ears. But Majin Buu is a demon from there and he doesnt have pointy ears, but "Freezer-like" ears.
Why doesnt Majin Buu have pointy ears if he's a demon?

Well, he's an artificial being, so there doesn't seem to be any reason for his anatomical features to be the same as everybody else's. In point of fact, this is usually the explanation for him having peculiar anatomical features.

If the Super Majin Rymus is the supreme authority of the universe, what's Zeno?
In Dragon Ball Super, Zeno was the "Supreme ruler of all the Multiverse"
Zeno
Now Dragon Ball Daima claims the Super Majin Rymus is "the supreme authority of the Universe" who "created several universes" (the universes we know apparently, since the supreme kaios were sent there to rule them)
What's the place of Zeno now in this story? The position of Zeno and the Super Majin Rymus seems to be the same

I think the implication from the images is that Zeno is one of the super majin rymus.

If the Super Majin Rymus is the supreme authority of the universe, why the great king demon ordered him to create the universe?
Dragon Ball Daima says the Super Majin Rymus is the supreme authority of the universe. But it also says the Great King Demon ordered him to create the universe (multiverse) . How can someone who is the supreme authority of the universe/multiverse be under the orders of someone else?
Who is the supreme authority of the universe (multiverse) , the Super Majin Rymus or the Great King Demon?

The universes did not exist yet when the demon king told them to create them. I don't know what question you are asking. It's like a king telling his subjects to create a duchy then assigning the subjects as dukes to administer the newly created region.

Is Vegeta stronger than Goku in Dragon Ball Daima, since he was stronger than him when younger?
Supposedly Vegeta is some years older than Goku. When he was young, Vegeta was stronger than Goku, being capable of killing several Saibaimen with power level of 1,200 at the same time. So when Vegeta was a teenager or kid, he was stronger than 1,200. However when Goku was a teenager or a kid , his power level was between 10 to 260.
How does this work now that they've been turned into children? Is Vegeta still physically older than Goku? Goku was somehow able to retain his super saiyan transformation, does this mean his power now is not related at all to the power he had when he was a real kid?
Is Vegeta stronger than Goku in Dragon Ball Daima, since he was stronger than him when younger?

First, regardless of their birth dates (Goku was born as planet Vegeta was destroyed while Vegeta is a few years older), the wish in Daima was extremely clear: they will turn into the age of first graders (about 6). So they are precisely the same age in Daima, physically. Second, oddly enough, this is not the first time a Shenron de-aged characters (King Piccolo returned to his young and Pilaf were turned to children) and in particular isn't not even the first time Shenron turned Goku into a kid again. As we saw in GT, turning Goku into a child did make it more difficult for him to fight, as he was an adult much longer than he was a child, but it did not make him less of a threat. In GT, Goku as a child was still the strongest in the universe so the first villain had to resort to stealing a body to compete.
That said, the size of his body or age of his body for that matter, doesn't necessarily make him weaker. Gohan in particular was a very strong child, stronger than when he was 7 years later. Similarly, King Piccolo would not have made a wish to restore his youth if his strength only moved in one direction. In the opening saga of Dragonball Super, when Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan God, he also reverted to a younger version of himself (although the explanation leaves much to be desired and I would not look to DBS for consistency).
However just from GT, you can infer that Goku's power is unrelated to his power at that age, likely because his ki level differs from even he was a child and that it's the main driver of power level, as opposed to say muscle mass. I suspect Vegeta to undergo the same reasoning so it's safe to say that he's not stronger than Goku in Daima.
As an aside, there are inconsistencies with Shenron's wish. Piccolo in particular was very clearly already much larger than his miniature form when he was 6, which is after the events of Dragonball, when he was full sized. Dende is also about the age of Gohan, who is nearly an adult during the time of Daima and should not be an infant. Gohan of course is absent, but likely purposely so: Gohan was extremely powerful when he was a child, much more powerful than when he fought Dabura, which would make him stronger than everyone in the Demon realm if the power scaling had worked as you described.

Chaos「混沌」 is an ancient, preeminent entity that created the world, the five races and even the gods out of nothingness.

Chaos
but also according to the wikia,
Life Spirits

Life Spirits「生命いのちの精霊」 are beings with no shape or individuality that
are described as "pieces of their Great One"「“大いなる者の一端なり”, Ōinaru Mono
no Ippashinari」 and the font of energy that raises all races in many
worlds, including Humans, Demons, Goddesses, Giants, and Fairies.

So Chaos created all the races, but their energy comes from the Life Spirits, who apparently have no relation with him but with "their Great One". How does this work?

Ranking systems within Anime/Waifu gatcha TCG and mobile card games?
I play a lot of gatcha mobiles. I understand C, UC, R, SR, SSR.
Commons are essentially useless.
Uncommon are useful for a limited time.
Rare is almost the same as UC in usefulness, but usually can become SR.
Super Rare and Superior Super Rare (or whatever that extra S stands for) are top class.
However.
I started getting into physical trading cards and I started to notice UR (Ultra Rare), SP (?) and LP (Limited?) and a few others.
What's the source of these rankings? Are they just to make people feel better about their pulls? I feel like some of these at "higher ranks" are pretty subpar.
And why aren't they just using the "classic" systems (F-S) like a lot of Anime/Manga uses?

I’m voting to close this question because this is not about anime or manga. The question may be a better fit for arqade or board and card games.

Does the "bracketed character" have a meaning in the titles of the episodes in Nier: Automata ver1.1a?
The title of every episode in both seasons has some capitalised letter in a bracket. For example, the first episode is called

or not to [B]e

and the second is

city e[S]cape

In the first two episodes, it can at least be inferred that [B] is for 2B and [S] is for 9S. Does the bracketed character in each title have any meaning, or is it just chosen at random?

Speaking from someone who has played the titular game and watched some of the anime, the bracketed characters do not have that much of a significant meaning by themselves. However, the name each episode does correlate to one of the 26 different endings to the titular game:
In your example, the episodes and endings are:

Ending B: or not to [B]e
Ending S: city e[S]cape

So the titles of the episodes appear to be paging homage to its original source.

What and why is there a trope about apartments being full of trash?
Several anime, and s couple this season, have a trope where the protagonist lives in an apartment full of literal trash.  Trash bags, bottles, cans, etc.  Sometimes the trope only shows up during a move or as part of a cleaning montage, and sometimes it's not the protagonist, but a plot device for an ancillary character or structure.
What is the name of this trope, and why is this a trope?  Does this reflect reality in Japan for some reason?  Or is it an urban myth?
Does it have anything to do with the strange and strict trash pickup schedule in Japanese cities?  Several anime have touched on this, where certain things need to be processed a certain way, and will only be picked up on certain days, and landlords get very fussy about breaking those rules.
I did a few DDG searches, but search has been declining for years, and all I got was commentary/opinion on how all anime was trash.  Searching this stack exchange also yielded no results.

It's a real thing called 汚部屋 (obeya, literally dirty room). I guess the reason it appears in anime is that it is mildly associated with hikikomori (those who never go out of their room), which is again mildly associated with otaku.
The following contains a list of related anime characters:

汚部屋

I would not say "mildly" but would say "strongly" for the hikikomori point.

Why did only Ichigo inherited the Shinigami, Quincy and Hollow powers, not his siblings?
There may be spoilers from Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War.
In Bleach, we see that Ichigo has the powers of a Shinigami (Soul Reaper), a Hollow, a Quincy, and a Fullbringer, where the first three of these were inherited. Due to his mother, Masaki, being a Quincy, who also absorbed a Hollow, and his father, Isshin (Shinigami) sealing the hollow inside Masaki.
Then why were these inherited by only Ichigo?
It could've stayed with Masaki or would've been transferred to his siblings as well.

Some of this is speculation, but it does help make sense of things.

Ichigo was the firstborn. It's likely he got the lion's share of any inherited abilities. We already know he has the most spiritual pressure of any of his family. That doesn't mean he got all the powers. Karin can see spirits and Yuzu can sense them.
Ichigo was directly converted into a Soul Reaper by Rukia. That clearly awakened something within him. It's possible Karin and Yuzu could awaken additional powers if they underwent that same process.
Ichigo continues to train and evolve. That training has, in turn, evolved the people around him (like Orihime). Ichigo has fought to keep his family out of the battles that would have made them stronger.

This does make sense, but what about the hollow?

The hollow falls into category #1: Ichigo inherited most of that power.

I think you could make a point that Ichigo's dad is still anchoring the hollow inside of Yuzu and Karin in the same way he did for Masaki. I think that may be an interesting arc if it was fully fleshed out.

Was a/the writer of Madoka Magica influenced by a specific anime that was broadcasting at the time?
I once read the following tidbit about the development of Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, but I cannot recall the other anime involved, and I cannot find a source mentioning this.
As I recall, one of the writers or producers of Madoka was watching a certain anime as it was being broadcast, and it influenced them when they either wrote the script for Madoka or just got a certain key idea between two episodes.  This person later remarked that, had they finished watching the anime before writing anything, the plot of Madoka would have been much different (possibly less dark?).
Is this true, and, if so, what was that other anime?

If you're talking about the lead writer, Gen Orobuchi, then yes. He was influenced by the works of American author Stephen King and Japanese director Akiyuki Shinbo (in particular Hidamari Sketch, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, and Le Portrait de Petite Cossette).

But which anime influenced him in the manner described in the body of the question?

Again, regarding "the story of Madoka Magica, Urobuchi said that it was very strongly influenced by three of Director Akiyuki Shinbo's anime series, Hidamari Sketch, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, and Le Portrait de Petite Cossette." Your question itself is vague. If you are looking for something specific or something else then please better clarify what it is that you are looking for. We are unable to assertain your intent if you do not let us know what it is. We are not mind-readers.

I'm looking for one (1) specific anime that the writer was in the middle of watching when they wrote the script for Madoka and which the writer later stated that, had they finished watching this anime before writing the script, then Madoka would have been very different.  I don't know how to make that any less vague.

It seems like you want to find that one article/tidbit rather than a general answer to your generalized question. You should rephrase your question as such. We don't know what you read, not so we now if it was from an opinionated or editorialized source. Masoka has many different series and spinoff as well as different continuities. If you don't know the context, it's not very likely someone else would. A vague question will only get you vague answers

What exactly is the legendary treasure One Piece ? Have there been any references to its nature: such as jewels, wishes, devil fruits etc.?
I am confused what exactly is the treasure One Piece. Is it some sort of jewels, blessings, legendary Devil Fruits or something like that? Or is it really just ONE PIECE OF SOMETHING?

There's no point in asking for something which will be covered later in the story.

The answer to this question has been deliberately not disclosed by the author. Come back in 5 years and you might have it.

Obviously, the nature of the treasure is so far unknown. The only actual information based on some quote attributed to Oda himself is that it should NOT be something like "friendship" or "the journey".

Oda(2019): One Piece is not a bond of Straw Hats. I hate that kind of thing. When I was a kid, I was not happy with the ending of The Wizard of Oz, that the adventure is itself a treasure. That story was unacceptable. Luffy has a great journey, so give him a proper treasure.

source: https://twitter.com/sandman_AP/status/1653374993328394246
That said, I don't trust much of that other being a red herring since imho Oda shoved to love quite a bit throwing misleading elements at the fans. For example, nothing in the above message implies that it is a) anything actually valuable, b) anything that can be moved from the island, c) in a way anything physical (for example, would "the Dawn and freedom from the lies of the Dragons" be considered a treasure? Remember that the Straw Hats consider things like tangerines, an old flag, a sword and a promise to a dead girl, an straw hat, some burnt plans etc as treasures), d) anything that is STILL there (Roger said he was not the one Joy Boy was waiting for. But some think Joy Boy left that fruit there, and the reason Roger didn't took it was his terminal illness. This would also mean that Shanks was fully aware of what that fruit really was, and attacked the ship carrying it on purpose, not just as a random coincidence) .
It is also worth noticing that when Roger reached Laugh Tale, something was already there. And that is the reason the name Laugh Tale was chosen in the first place.

Yet, "One Piece" is the name give to what people believe to be Roger's treasure. Something that they believe was left there.

Notice Roger's reaction: "And they have no idea".
"No idea" about what? About the fact that he didn't leave anything there and the only treasure is what Joy Boy already left? About the fact that the treasure has no monetary value at all, being instead something like "knowledge" or "a way to bring on the Dawn"? The real throne to the world and the proof the Dragons are in fact usurpers from another land?
Consider this:
Buggy was with Roger's crew. Conveniently, he had some "illness" that prevented him to go on Laugh Tale.

The nature of this illness hasn't been further elaborated (some fan translations of the page call it "Can't Go to this Island", the same name Usopp uses as an excuse multiple times, but that is not correct). Anyway, it seems like a way to distract the watcher from a specific question:  "considering that Buggy is depicted as someone who loves treasures why did he never try to find a way to get the One Piece for himself if it was so precious and he already knew its location? Why he didn't ask Shank to bring back even a single coin? Why aiming for a different treasure altogether if he knew what Roger left there?"
Also... Why the World Government should be afraid about something finding a very large sum of money? Whitebeard seemed to imply that finding the One Piece would trigger some world-level crisis and Sengoku reaction seems to confirm that. What do they really fear? Some large treasure called One Piece or something else left there before? Is the One Piece a treasure at all?
It is pretty evident Roger planted the idea of a treasure as a deliberate way to get people trying to reach that same final line so that they would find something else there, but it is not clear if there is an actual treasure too or just that "something else". He just seemed to want for someone else to reach that point in the journey.
And perhaps, do something there he couldn't or didn't want to do at the time.

It is also worth noticing that there have been some hints about Luffy destroying Fish-Man island. The world of One Piece is spit in 4 quadrants so right now it is basically Four Pieces. Something huge happened in the past, and the Throne is found on the Red Line, and Fish-Man island is somewhere under that.
Was the answer under our nose all along? Is "One Piece" nothing else that the world once again awakened and restored to the one single land it once was? Is that why  the "All Blue" is so rarely mentioned in the plot and the reason no one could find it? Because it no longer exist?
PS: At least we should be pretty confident it is not a giant pearl...

The One Piece is the end goal of the story. Since you are asking about that, I assume you have no problem with any and all spoilers.

Though it is impossible to say with any certainty what the One Piece is at this point in the story, we are far from clueless about what is waiting on Laugh Tale. In the first place, this island is connected heavily to the Poneglyphs. Finding the path to Laugh Tale requires deciphering the four Red Poneglyphs. It is highly likely that the Poneglyph detailing the Void Century will be there, but whether or not this itself is the One Piece, or part of the One Piece, is unknown.
The One Piece has been implied to be something that will turn the world upside down. At times, some characters' dialogue has even implied that the One Piece might be one of the Ancient Weapons, or something related to the ancient weapons. Given the Poneglyphs relation to these weapons, this is not a far-fetched assumption. However, I suspect this might not actually be the case even though some characters seem convinced of this, and just the history from the Void Century could be enough to turn the world upside down, so a weapon is not necessary.
Gold Roger's final words also offer a clue:

"You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place. Now you just have to find it."

This implies it was something he gathered together, rather than something he found on the island. It could be that the One Piece is an amalgamation of some treasure Roger found on his journey, as well as some things he found on Laugh Tale.
There are some more clues. Whitebeard said to Blackbeard that Blackbeard wasn't the one Roger was waiting for. And in the movie One Piece: Stampede, Roger himself gets angry about the Eternal Log Pose to Laugh Tale being made, and says that the treasure is beyond anyone who would use such a thing.
I haven't actually gotten to this part of the story myself, so I can't say much, but I've heard the One Piece has something to do with Joy Boy.
The name Laugh Tale may also be an important hint as to what the One Piece is, since Gold Roger named the island that in response to what he found there.
What is very clear though, is that there is an expectation that whoever gets the One Piece will be the person who ends the current era and starts a new one.

Could Caesar Clown defeat Ace?
Caesar ate the Gas-Gas Fruit which allows him to control gas. He can also remove oxygen gas in a certain area. And Ace ate the Flare-Flare Fruit which allows him to control fire. Since Fire requires oxygen to burn, then Caesar's removal of oxygen from the air could have defeated Ace's fire power.
So we conclude that Caesar could have easily defeated Ace?

I don't disagree with the crux of SPArcheon's answer, but there are two specific points made that I think need correcting.

Also, it is not clear how far Caesar powers could reach.

Staying out of Caesar's reach while fighting was the crux of Luffy's strategy in his second fight, so I think it's likely we could estimate Caesar's range were we inclined to do so.

You imagine Caesar dousing Ace's fire, but we can't exclude something like "Caesar explodes as soon as he tries to turn to gas because gas+fire=boom".

Usopp shot a fire attack at Caesar with exactly this mentality, and it was proven wrong. Caesar's control is over gas, not exclusively poison gas or explosive gas. The whole point of this exchange is to show us that the viewers' understanding of "gas plus fire equals explosion" is comically incorrect, and to remind us that oxygen is a gas.

Ace would most likely struggle against Caesar for the same reasons he ultimately lost to Teech. Mainly, the negation of his fire powers. Considering that Caesar's ability to manipulate oxygen would be devastating whether Ace was fire or human, Ace would most likely lose if he got within range of Caesar. Oxygen deprivation was enough to take down Luffy, after all, so superhuman strength really doesn't factor in here.
It would ultimately depend on Oda's perspective, as said in the other answer. Yet, he has shown to think these match-ups through though, as with Luffy being impervious to lightning (though it is technically not actually scientifically accurate that rubber would be okay being hit by lightning according to answers here), and with Ace and Smoker's fight being an a futile effort. Crocodile being weak against water also makes sense, since sand sticks together when it gets wet. The whole thing of lava being hotter than fire was a bit odd (my initial gut reaction was that it made sense, but I guess that hardly matters, and I think it's fair to criticize it), but it does still show that Oda is using logic and reasoning for these match-ups. Just note that logically consistent does not necessarily equal scientifically accurate.
Since Oda has already explicitly written about the relationship between oxygen and fire in the battle between Usopp and Caesar, I think we can conclude that he definitely would've taken it into account in a fight between Ace and Caesar. But there are still unknown factors that Oda would have to decide on, so any answer to the question of this match-up is going to be mostly speculation. That could change if for some reason we see Marco or Sabo fight Caesar.

If you are thinking of a mere rock-paper-scissor, it would indeed look like Caesar fruit has an advantage, similar to how Luffy "Gum" fruit had an advantage against Eneru "Lighting" or how Akainu claimed that his "Magma" power was stronger than Ace "Fire".
On the other hand it is not like a "weaker" fruit hasn't beat a "stronger" one before, even with some elemental advantage involved. Also, it is not clear how far Caesar powers could reach. He doesn't seem the type to have trained that much and instead seems to rely on the base advantage of a Logia. I also doubt he has any decent level of Haki, while technically Ace was shown at least once to use the Conqueror variant (that said, it appears only in the flashback and never again).
But let's keep it simple - can Caesar douse Ace flames?
The real issue is that we are talking about speculations.
It has never been specified how Logia fruits create things out of nowhere. Do they consume stamina/willpower/ki/mana? How can someone conjure a giant fist made of magma up in the sky? Where did that molten rock come from?
It is a common misconception that fire requires oxygen.

The two main components of fire are fuel and an oxidizing agent or oxidizer. Fuel is a substance that loses electrons or accepts oxygen atoms, whereas an oxidizer is a material that provides those oxygen atoms or accepts the electrons. This process of transferring electrons from the oxidizing agent to the fuel is known as oxidation, which basically constitutes combustion
Source: https://www.scienceabc.com/nature/can-fire-occur-non-oxygenated-reaction.html

This brings quite a bit of questions...

do Ace flames require any combustion in the first place? You seem quite sure they need oxygen as the oxidizing agent, but then please tell me also what is the fuel that gets combusted.
if they require combustion, do they use oxygen? If the Logia can create the "fuel" then it should be able to create the oxidizing agent too?
if Ace powers are a form of combustion that can use any oxidizing agent, can Caesar remove oxygen at atomic level too so that there are no oxygen atoms left? Just to point out the absurdity, this means that Caesar should be able to turn water into hydrogen?
etc etc etc.

Seems we won't get anywhere this way, so let's try to compare Ace with someone similar instead.
The Human Torch maybe?
This scene from a comic is quite  similar to what you seem to expect: a foe removes oxygen from the area and the Human Torch flames are affected.

But in another panel form a different comic he can fly thru space despite the lack of air...

... or at least he can until he can not in yet another issue.

... and don't get me even started on "Power Cosmic" Human Torch.
Let's look elsewhere.
In Fire Force the (basic) Infernals  seems to be subject to dousing like any flame would - Akitaru Ōbi even uses dousing grenades.  At the same time there are scenes where the acutal Adolla flame is shown to be demonic in the real meaning of the term and it does not seem to douse in any way.
In Ben10 Heatblast can't breath in space and is weak to water, oxygen deprivation and anything you would expect to douse a flame.
Then you have Jaganshi Hiei from YuYu Hakusho dark flame, which isn't conventional by any mean and is probably more of a demonic flame too.
and so on, I think you get the point: every show has its set of rules, even when we are talking of the same base trope...
At the end of the day only Oda could decide how the fight would go. You imagine Caesar dousing Ace fire, but Oda could as well decide to go for a not-even-worth-my-time scenario with "Caesar explodes as soon as he tries to turn to gas because gas+fire=boom". Considering that the Ace is dead and many expect Sabo to face Akainu for revenge at some point, I would not be surprised by a "I'll mop the floor with you" battle with the Flame Flame fruit revealed to be not physical fire but the very idea of burning and awake to spontaneous combustion of anything near, including Akainu's magma. After all, it is not like other fruits weren't presented for what they actually were in the first place... so maybe suddenly the Mera Mera will actually be Hito Hito No Mi, Model: Kitsune.
That said, again, this is just speculation and unless Caesar does try this against Sabo now we will probably never know if that would have worked unless someone asks Oda directly in the SBS corner.

U say Caesar would blast as soon as he touches fire, as he is composed of gas. Thus he must be composed of inflammable gases to be capable of blasting. But that would mean that he is composed of other gases as well. Like Arsine, Diborane or Phosphine which burn spontaneously on contact with air, depending on temperature and humidity. So he must be literally BLASTING ALL THE TIME. But he isn't, which would mean that he is able to control his gas composition.Also, if he removes oxygen from air, fire i.e. Ace can't just burn. Ace must then be helpless because without oxygen fire can't burn.

@AyanDutta No, I said that since the author never wrote out that battle, anything is just speculation. The few info we have about the Flame fruit is that Akainu considered his magma as "superior". But that could be very well a red herring since Ace simply HAD to be very weak after all the time spent in prison, and I wouldn't put it past Oda to have planted that line so that a future Sabo VS Akainu battle will be a crush-stomp in Sabo favor.

What is this kind of Highlight for the hair called?

I'd like to know what's this type of hair highlight called?
In the application Koikatsu, it is called "lighting" highlight.
I am wondering if this is the correct name?

I've been searching all around, still no official name for that kind of highlight. Danbooru doesn't specify it.

In Japanese there is word ツヤベタ(tsuyabeta) though it does not specifically refer to the 'lighting'. It rather means paint black the hair with the expression of luster. (See this for example).

What about "zigzag" highlight?

I suppose it is simply a type/style of luster. ツヤベタ just encompasses painting the hair with highlight.

What exactly is a "witch"?
In Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury, the title refers to Suletta Mercury, who is indeed referred to as a "witch" on numerous occasions. Sophie and Norea also specifically refer to themselves as "witches" during the attack on Plant Quetta.
At no point is it ever explained what a "witch" actually is within the context of the series. I can infer that it refers to

 artificial humans created for the purpose of piloting Gundams, as Suletta, Sophie, and Norea all are IIRC,

but it's possible I've misunderstood or am missing something. So what exactly is a "witch"?

This definitely seems like a translation issue. What's the Japanese word? "Suisei no Majo": Suisei is Mercury. So we're depending on Majo which I think means magic user. Since they're female, maybe that's why they're called witches. In Gundam, there's some idea of magic, so I'm wondering if it's related to that.

@Sawtaytoes I don't believe the Witch From Mercury continuity contains that sort of magic. The closest thing is Permet, the particles that allow Gundams to work, but that's more Clarkian magic than actual magic.

FYI, it seems a matter of speculation. This says 魔女 stands for an existence controlling Gundams as demons. I'm not very familiar with the whole Gundam series, and don't know the plausibility of what the post says.

What is the difference between 3 times Edo Tensei have been used?
We have seen this jutsu performed three times during OG Naruto and Shippuden.

Orochimaru used Tobirama and Hashirama vs Hiruzen
Kabuto uses an army of Edo Tensei
Orochimaru Edo Tensei 4 hokages

Why the first edo tensei done by Orochimaru was considered weak?
Also, he used White Zetsu for 4 hokages while it is said it needs a living sacrifice.

Related: How could Madara free himself from the Impure World Resurrection technique, while Tobirama can't?

"Also, he used White Zetsu for 4 hokages while it is said it needs a living sacrifice." I don't see a reason why White Zetsu should not count as "living", but even if I saw one, I can't argue with the author.

Kishimoto, like most mangaka, are negligent in plot holes and not even fixing them in later databook/stories. With Boruto ongoing, I don't think any more info would be provided.
From what the Naruto manga/anime has, each occurrences of Edo Tensei have differences and also due to inconsistency from what Kishimoto had in his mind in earlier arcs and later stories.
Even for the creator of Jutsu, Tobirama, we never see his usage on Edo Tensei, but it's likely the resurrected ones were not at full power and he could only controlled a small number of people(per chapter 521).
The first Edo Tensei we see in series, during Orochimaru's fight with Third Hokage, is the most limited one, as both first and second Hokages were not at full potential. It's the  result from Kishimoto not fully setting up for power level of the First and Second Hokages and also intended for aging Hiruzen not to be ass whooped immediately.
If we check the kunai with talisman put into head of Edo Tensei resurrected ones, the one used in Orochimaru's Edo Tensei and Kabuto's are with different colours or scripts.
It's likely that Orochimaru has refined the control aspect of Edo Tensei over the years, before his defeat by Sasuke and later Kabuto learnt all things left by Orochimaru, including Edo Tensei and using it.
The last usage by Kabuto, he claimed there is no drawback, not even requiring to use chakra, etc. But his allowing to semi independence of target sometimes leads to losing the restricted.
So while having some drawbacks, his usage is better than Orochimaru's previous Edo Tensei.
I don't think Edo Tensei is as simple as having a body part of target, a sacrifice and the Jutsu itself. The quality of sacrifice/host matters to some level. Kabuto said to "modify" things for Madara, though we don't know exactly(maybe making Madara younger, while resurrected with same power at his time of death).
The last one used by Orochimaru, the hosts are clones of White Zetus(at this point, containing large amount of Hashirama's cells or DNA as well). Unlike other resurrections, the 4 Hokages are at full power and if not for Orochimaru switching to take over another White Zetus's clone(and thus Hashirama's cell), he could not have been able to restrain Tobirama. One distinct note for this is, during this resurrection, there is no kunai with talisman used. Also Hashirama's is still freely movable even after Orochimaru's restraining the resurrected.
So compared with other resurrection of Edo Tensei, cases of Madara, plus the last one done by Orochimaru, have different kind of host, so unless stated by Kishimoto otherwise, we can say the "quality" of host matters as well.
For the case of White Zetus being alive or not, I would like to put some light on origin of White Zetsu. White Zetsu is a part of the  victims of the first Infinite Tsukuyomi, just like spiral face Zetus.
White Zetsu later merged with Hashirama's cell(either by Madara or Black Zetsu), mainly with the clone of Hashirama embedded in stem of Demonic Statue of Outer Path. The army of White Zetus is basically containing Hashirama's cell, as it's cloned/cultivated from original White Zetus, as appeared in biopsy done by Sakura and other Medical ninja, during their night raid.
This goes back to last Edo Tensei by Orochimaru. The ones put as spores like fashion on Sasuke, were brought out by Orochimaru's advice of putting in Sage/Natural energy by Jugo. I would say living clones of original White Zetsu, which is result of a cocoon of first Infinite Tsukuyomi, with consciousness, is kind of living organism, and meet requirements as host of Edo Tensei.

Is the Japanese age rating of anime public information?
I'm interested to look up the Japanese age ratings for various anime, but couldn't find a source, other than general information about their system.

Is this information not freely available for anyone to look at?
If it is freely available, where can I check the rating of each anime in existence?

FYI I think airing on TV usually means it is not rated. There was a list https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%88%B6%E9%99%90%E6%8C%87%E5%AE%9A%E3%81%AE%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E4%B8%80%E8%A6%A7

Those marks are from Eirin, or the Film Classification and Rating Organization; they only rate movies (and OVAs that have screenings). So naturally, only anime movies will have ratings. Unfortunately there is no complete database, but you can look up titles individually through Eirin's database, which has all ratings from August 2009 and onward. Of course, you will need to be able to enter the title's name, so Japanese will be needed for many titles.

Do TV anime just not get rated by anyone in Japan?

NeoApo  (Japanese) has an "R-15" tag for their anime database. However, it's not that straightforward for anime in general.

At the very least, anime shows can be categorized into:

TV broadcast
Premium channel
BD/DVD
Movie
OVA

For works that are screened in the cinema, Eirin is the one that is responsible for the rating, and it has its own database (as already explained in Jimmy's answer).
For the other, Japanese Wikipedia has a non-exhaustive list of age-restricted anime. It is stated that only R15+ and R18+ is given in most case, while G and PG12+ is given only for anime movies. It is also mentioned that TV broadcasts and OVA are generally unrated. Also, since mostly only adult anime (i.e. pornography/hentai) is rated R18+, violence, and graphics anime are not rated as R18+.
Some notable examples:

Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma (G-rated)
Angel Beats! (G-rated for TV broadcasts, PG12 for Special non-broadcast episodes)
Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade (First movie to be rated PG12)
Detroit Metal City (First OVA to be rated PG12)
Senran Kagura (PG12)
Mardock Scramble The First Compression (PG12 for original movie, R18+ for the full version)
Mardock Scramble The Second Combustion (G-rated for original movie, R15+ for BD)
Seitokai Yakuindomo (PG12 for movie, R15+ on AT-X)
The Island of Giant Insects (PG12 for movie, R15+ for OVA, R15+ on AT-X)
Strike Witches series (R15+ for BD)
Interspecies Reviewers (unrated but censored for TV broadcast, R15+ on AT-X)
VALKYRIE DRIVE -MERMAID- (unrated for TV broadcast, R15+ on AT-X)
Tsugumomo (unrated for TV broadcast, R15+ for BD)
Higurashi When They Cry (unrated for TV broadcast, R15+ on AT-X)
AnimeFesta series (unrated/censored for TV broadcast, R18+ for premium version)

As can be observed, sometimes AT-X rerates some series as R15+ while broadcasting the uncensored version. Their official website also posts news (rarely) and broadcast information (mainly) about age-restricted works on AT-X:

Are there any references to A\The "Black Sword" in official Attack on Titan source material?
In 2007 Epic released a song entitled Crimson Bow and Arrow as part of their EP Epic Vs Attack on Titan
The tracks on the EP all relate to, or are inspired by, different aspects of the Attack on Titan Anime\Manga, this particular song included the line:

The boy will pick up the black sword

The song relates to Erin and his attitude to fighting the Titans, but I'm unaware of there being a literal Black Sword in canon. does this refer to the swords used by the scouts, or is it something figurative, or did I just lose something in translation?

It might just be an euphemism to refer to a bloodened sword. As the blood coagulates and oxidizes it turns a deep dark red color that's almos blackish, so a blood-stained sword that keeps being used without proper cleaning will turn black over time.The swords the Scouts use are intended to be used and discarded, they are not legendary swords, just as them are not invincible heroes, but sacrifices necessary for the freedom of mankind, as such, picking up the black sword is not picking a the literal black sword, but the will of the Scouts lives and their blood stained discarded swords.

Why did Arthur Pendragon turn evil?
In the original Nanatsu no Taizai anime series, Arthur Pendragon was a good guy. But in Mokushiroku no Yonkishi, he's the main antagonist. What happened in the middle? Why did Arthur Pendragon turn evil?

In chapter 77 (Four Knights of the Apocalypse) Arthur states that he has come to the conclusion that historically humans have been puppets or collateral damage in wars between other races, and that, in light of this fact, true, lasting peace for humanity can only be achieved through an ethnic cleansing of all other races.
Another matter of conflict is that, in order to build his Eternal Kingdom, he is literally stealing portions of land from the existing nations and moving them to Camelot.
Arthur is shown to alternate semi-voluntarily between two personalities: one being serene and jolly, and the other being disturbing, ominous and ruthless. A visual queue for the switch are his sclerae being white or black respectively (as well as his demeanour and magic changing accordingly). It's clear that this is bound to the dual, highly polarized nature of chaos as was briefly described at the end of The Seven Deadly Sins. It's implied that this might be influencing Arthur's judgment, but the extent and nature of this influence has not been described fully as of chapter 127. It's worth noting that, despite visible changes in behaviour, Arthur appears to be of one mind in either state and, if indeed some  magically induced personality disorder is at work, he has not shown signs of distress towards his psychological situation yet.

What references to sadomasochism were there in Paradise Kiss?
The Wikipedia page for Paradise Kiss says (highlight from me):

In many instances, Yazawa was concerned that taking the original material straight would distract casual viewers or worse drive them away. Chief among these concerns was the handling of George's bisexual nature and interest in sadomasochism. Yazawa agreed that the dialogue should reflect this, but that actual onscreen depictions (as can be found in the original manga) were to be avoided. However, Kobayashi felt this was not being entirely true to the character, so he included a few hints of this side of George in the final episode.

The fact that George was bisexual was stated in the very first episode, by George himself, after someone comments that they thought he was gay. However, I didn't catch any specific references to sadomasochism, neither in the last episode nor at any other point in the show.
What references is the Wikipedia page referring to?

Based on a quick search, TV Tropes listed this series as an example of The Masochism Tango. However, as I haven't seen the series, I can't say much about it, though I believe it's not about SM play...

Judging from the Wikipedia quote I wouldn't expect to see any play in the anime, though I haven't read the manga so dunno if there were more overt references to it there. But I guess you make a good point that the Wikipedia article doesn't mention it's SM play, just SM in general... If no one's who's read the manga has some clarity, I might need to go through it myself to find out ;P

From what I remember, it should be referring to the character of George being sadistic, meaning he likes to tease the girl (rather than being sweet to her). It has nothing to do with sexual play using whips and candles.

Does Goblin Slayer ever leave his armor?
In Season 1 and Season 2 of the Goblin Slayer anime, Goblin Slayer never leaves his armor. Not to eat, not to sleep, etc. I think he once said he has to be prepared to kill Goblins at any time. But he should leave his armor eventually right? I mean, how does he take a shower?
Is it ever shown or said in the Novel or Manga if he ever leaves his armor?

He's certainly highly averse to removing any part of his armor. In social situations, he may lift his helmet visor partway in order to eat or drink. I don't recall if he ever does so while in combat.
In S1E8, he was gravely wounded by the Goblin Champion. He later awoke to find himself removed from his armor, freshly resurrected by Priestess and Sword Maiden. We see numerous scars from his prior experiences.
During the celebration at the end of S1, Priestess asks him to remove his helmet. This is the only request we see him honor thus far, and all in attendance marvel at the sight.
To what degree he maintains such caution, and how much self-care he might be sacrificing, is not shown further in the anime. The wiki does mention that he frequently tasks the blacksmith with repair of one set of gear while adventuring with another identical set.

How old was Rae before her reincarnation (and how old is Claire)?
In I'm in Love With the Villainess, Rae Taylor was once an overworked office worker named Rei Oohashi before being reincarnated in the world of Revolution. I realised recently that, while Rae and Claire are physically the same age, Rae must actually be a few years older - at the very least, Rae can't be younger than 18, and Claire can't be older than 18.
However, the anime doesn't give any indication of their exact ages, so it's hard to tell what the actual age gap between them is. Is it stated in the light novels how old Rae was at the time of her death, and/or how old Claire is at the time the story starts?

Why do Bleach creators put tons of spoilers at the start and the end of every episode?
I'm watching Bleach.
For a long time, it bothered me that the creators put spoilers at the end of each episode.
But it seems understandable. Nowadays, they don't seem to do that, but in the 2000s, it was believed that it made viewers anticipate the next episode (as if they wouldn't wait for it without spoilers). At least that's not surprising.
However, closer to the middle of the series, they started putting a screenshot from the episode with some distortion and a fragment of the opening song. Sometimes, this screenshot spoils what will happen in the episode (in the episode 295, for example). I really don't understand why they do this. It looks and sounds terrible, and on top of that, it doesn't make any sense.
But what annoyed me the most is when they started placing spoilers right from the first seconds of each subsequent episode. Please, explain what's going on in their heads...

Bleach is kinda a anime based around the character development of the main character's and combat. Its likely the animation studio did'nt really care much for spoiling small parts. Even so those parts aren't very significant. Its not like they spoiled  the fact that the beginning to late stages of bleach was Aizens plan.

What were Zabuza's political objectives in staging a coup?
It stated in early Naruto that Zabuza attempted a coup in the Hidden Mist Village, but failed. This is interesting due to information disclosed much later in the series, mainly that

 with his Sharingan, Tobi was manipulating the Mizukage.

However, the series gives us only occasional tidbits about the Hidden Mist Village's history. Is Zabuza's motivation for staging a coup ever explained in any of the various media? Did he know about Tobi and have a problem with that? Did he just dislike some policies the Mizukage was doing? Or did he want some particular policies? Was it just a power grab?

Zabuza used to be one of the 7 legendary swordsmen of mist. He was loyal with their kage until he got to know about their dark intentions to misuse them. He was patriotic to his nation and this revelation made him furious, due to which he planned to coup. Coming to Tobi, he met Tobi disguised as Madara and he had no problem as he didn't knew Tobi. He also ignored Tobi on his words. He only wanted to serve his land for its betterment until his last breath.
