How does Star Platinum get the same ability as the World?
We don't usually see "Stands" with the same ability. How does Jotaro develop a power similar to Dio's in the final battle. And now, everytime he uses his stand, he shouts out "Star platinum the World" as if he adopted Dio's power. What happened in the final fight with Dio?

While Star Platinum has a bad habit of pulling new abilities from underneath his loin cloth (I'm looking at you, Star Finger), I don't think it's the case here.
I think it was implied that Star Platinum had the Time Stop ability the whole time.
When Jotaro confronted Dio, he quickly figured out that their stands were very similar in terms of speed, range, strength, size and what not. And once Kakyoin figured The World's secret ability, it dawned on Jotaro that Star Platinum might have a similar skill.
Of course, he couldn't trigger it easily. At first he was merely able to see glimpses of the stopped time, then he's able to move in it for a moment and only at the very end does he finaly manage to stop time on his own.
Not all stand abilities are known to their users instinctually. Even Dio discovered the Time Stop by accident while training. He also had to train his ability to extend its length and his movement in it.
While never actually explained, the most likely reason their stands are the same type is their macabre family connection. Jotaro shares a bloodline with the body Dio currenlty posesses (through the world's first vampire to human head transplant).
To put it simply:

I saw a theory on another forum, that Dio could use all of JOJO's stand power. There was a scene where Dio uses Hermit purple to track down the crusaders. I was mindblowned and it actually made sense!

@Anthony You're actually semi right. DIO does use a version of Hermit Purple (Named The Passion in JORGE JOESTAR, but it doesn't require DIO to break a camera because DIO is more proficient in using it. He also was able to use it with a crystal ball to show Polnareff a picture of J.Geil, In JORGE JOESTAR, this version of Hermit Purple takes the form of a crown with thorns and is able to view the user's past and future of their blood relatives, which includes relatives from other universes. In the JoJo light novel "JOJO'S BIZZARE ADVENTURE OVER HEAVEN", the stand is also called Hermit Purple.

I disagree with your assessment of star finger.  Star platinum seems to have been inspired by the sequential punches in Hamon techniques. So, star finger would have been the equivalent of the Zoom Punch.

@Anthony That is a misconception, 'Hermit red' or the unnamed stand Dio uses, is actually Jonathan's. Dio never had the ability to 'clone' other abilities.

There are two explanations. A in universe explanation, and a meta explanation.
The in universe explanation, is that when Jotaro realized The Wolrd's ability of time stop, he thought that maybe since his stand's ability is super-speed, the next logical upgrade from super-speed is time stop, and so he tried it out, and it worked. I'd like to add that it is possible that Jotaro inherited the stand from Dio, through Jonathan's body, just as Joseph inherited Hermit purple, from Jonathan. However this is speculation, and no-where is it confirmed. Furthermore, some fans argue that Time-Stop had been foreshadowed throughout part 3, especially in situations like the Darby fight, where he demonstrates Star Platinum's insane speed. Some theorize that Darby knew The World's ability, and so he was so panicked by this demonstration, he thought Star Platinum is the same. Once again, I clarify that these are only speculations.
The meta explanation is that Araki had thought of The World as the very first stand to be conceptualized, followed by Star Platinum1. This could mean that he intended Star Platinum to have the ability from the start, to fit the the 'fight fire with fire' trope.

How 'wild Digimon' in the Digital World fuse or DNA digivolve?
Digimon with human partner can easily fuse/DNA digivolve using digivice, like Omegamon in Digimon Adventure Movie.
My question is how 'wild Digimon' fuse/DNA Digivolve? Let's use Royal Knight's Omegamon as an example. How did he came to be?

@Kozaky I accept information from games too

Digivolution is essentially a lot quicker when it forms a bond with a human. Like you said,  with a Digivice, a Human could share his or her energy and go about facilitating the same.In the case of wild Digimon, you could consider Digimon to more or less be computer data. Hence, they could constantly download additional data from the environment which would help them become stronger. If Digimon were to get deleted, they would essentialy break into many pieces of data which can be loaded by other Digimon. This potentially would trigger a Digivolution.

Thanks for the answer. May I ask where you get this info? Is this just your guess?

With regard to Digimon being computer data, it is more or less established where each version of the Digimon Anime is set in a different world. I'm assuming you are aware of the reincarnation cycle of Digimon in general. In Digimon Data Squad & Tamers, we see digimon data being absorbed by others. One good example of Digivolution being triggered by absorbtion is Lucemon who absorbs his Royal Knights and evolves to his Chaos mode.

ah I see. But do we have example of Digimon absorbing other Digimon data to digivolve to a fuse form?

Where does the golden great ape transformation fit in the saiyan transformations scale?
Are the multipliers from the super saiyan transformation (x50) and Oozaru transformation (x10) supposed to add up in the golden great ape transformation?
Or does it have just a different multiplier? With x10 (Oozaru) *x50 (SSJ) it would be x500 which is little over SSJ3 (x400) , but if I recall correctly Baby golden great ape transformation was a tough fight for SSJ4 Goku .
Where does the golden great ape transformation fit in the saiyan transformations scale? Is it over SSJ3? Is it equal to SSJ4? Is it over SSJ4?

Of course your assumption is correct, but it was not officially told and gloden great ape is on par with ssj4, but ssj4 Goku has difficulty because no matter how you look, at it is an over sized gorrila which doesn't have any control.so Goku had difficulty in handling it and also he must be concerned about Vegeta

Why can All Might still do his buff form?
All Might real form is very skinny and he was able to do his buff form because of One for All, supposedly. But now he no longer has One for All and he still can do his buff form. Is he supposed to still have some tiny remain of One for All , is his buff form made for comedy purposes or what?

I like the fan theory that his buff form was his quirk. He had to flex to do it and it was so tiring his quirk was useless. He wasn't really quirkless but he still empathized with Deku as he might as well be.  While alot of things support this theory, All Might's direct statements contradict this so it is non-canon drivel.  This is a comment as the answer is a non-canon fan theory.

All Might's buff form has nothing to do with One for All. He mentions at the very start of the series that it's a conscious effort similar to flexing. Just because All Might lost One for All doesn't mean he also lost the ability to flex. He just can't keep it up for a long time on his base power.

Yes, it's mostly for comedic purposes. Some can argue that he still has a tiny bit of power but he used all of One for All. It's clearly stated in All Might vs All for One fight.

If you are asking about latest episode then it's taking place before the events of 3rd season.

All wrong.
All might in his past was always a big buff guy thanks to his training. He never had a "skinny form" his muscle form is how he used to look always before AFO injured him. As all might said to deku, he wasted away from his surgeries and complications. When he uses his quirk his body transforms to its former prime to handle the power. As for why he can still do that form for brief moments may be for comedy purposes or maybe the quirk doesn't fully leave the host after passing it on. If so, hopefully all might will be able to utilize this in a way who knows.

Please include relevant sources/references.

I AGREE
ALL mights superior strength does not come from his quirk,it comes from his killer workought.This was shown when he fought wolfram.He has his quirk but in a drained form .He has it but he cant unleash it.

Does Fu have a "super" transformation?
The Dragon Ball Wikia doesnt list any transformation for Fu, but this more than a power-up looks like a transformation. The black aura alone could be a powerup, but his eyes turn red and his hair gets spiky similar to a super saiyan. Does any manga or videogame show Fu have a transformation or it's just a powerup? It's not only a semantic issue because a transformation allows the user to boost his power beyond the limits of his base form. I dont think there is anything official about this, but I think it's worth mentioning just in case, there are many fans already calling this "super Fu" or "super saiyan devil".

That's the form called Super Mira as the name suggest it was first used by Mira by and since Fu is Mira's son i guess he can use it too.The form itself is just Super Saiyan but mutated by demon DNA.I'd link the wiki but i can't so try finding it as "Super Mira" there.

Why not re-indoctrinate the entire Squad 13?
After Squad 13's failed attempt at a wedding, only the bride and groom are sent for re-indoctrination wiping out the relevant memories. But why stop there? Why didn't APE wipe the memory of every single member?

Everyone supported the wedding, and it probably served as a precedent to more relationships.
Obviously this makes the squad doubt Papa's benevolence, which compromises APE's plans.
Naturally everyone will try to restore the lost memories, which more or less works as they easily convince them that their relationship was real.

My only guess is that if they wipe everyone's memories they end up with a team full of strangers who won't perform as well as before, although that doesn't seem to be explicitly mentioned.

In episode 18, APE sends the Nines to apprehend the bride and groom due to their forbidden knowledge.

Because Kokoro and Mitsuru are in a relationship and planning to have a wedding, as well as discussing forbidden knowledge about pregnancy, Papa orders the two to be re-indoctrinated

The reason why these two were the only ones taken to be re-indoctrinated was due to the events that took place in episode 17.

 9'α holds up the childbirth handbook and asks if they recognize it. With Kokoro and Mitsuru's reaction, he says that they do. He asks for an explanation from Kokoro, since she's the one who dropped it. He says that it's strange, since it wouldn't have been provided in the study there, and it doesn't belong to her. Kokoro apologizes for not telling them all.
(emphasis my own)

While the rest of Squad 13 were involved in the wedding and planned a majority of it, it was the bride and groom who possessed the knowledge that APE considered dangerous.

Tetra's avatar's gender: which one is it?
In the anime, Tetra appears feminine at first, but it's later reveled that he is a boy. However, in the anime, it's not clear if they refer to the avatar or just the player.
Is Tetra's avatar's gender female?  The wikia is unclear, making statements that his avatar is female, androgynous, and is defined as a "he" in his "New Adventure Land profile" (no idea what that is).
The wiki makes it obvious that the player is male; I'm asking about the avatar.

It is intentionally ambiguous, which has caused it to be handled differently across the franchise.
What's your avatar's gender?

Official database: "Off-limits"
Light novel: "Tetra-chan", looks female
Anime: "Tetra-chan", looks female
NAL mobile game: "Male", looks female

Why's it important to put baby in a corner?

His wikia is quite clear about his avatar, female Human-Cleric:

Tetra used a female Human Cleric-Idol character at the time of the Catastrophe and was thus stuck in it

Rando editing of the Wiki's infobox doesn't make it canon. Read the rest of the article.

How could Rudy be a sorcerer before he was an adventurer?
Heavy spoilers if you haven't gotten past the Return of the Goblin King arc.

 Rudy was not an adventurer until after Shiroe successfully raised him using new world-level magic.  How was he able to gain levels beforehand?  Can People of The Land have classes and gain XP even if they are not adventurers?  It seems to me that you have to be an adventurer before you can gain levels and things.

Landers (or People of the Land) do gain levels, but is very low compared that of an Adventurer.
As per his wikia:

He put tremendous effort into this guise; as a Lander, his EXP leveling rate was 1/4 that of an Adventurer, yet he was able to achieve a class level similar to beginning adventurers before his status change

That's unsourced in the Wiki. Is it ever mentioned in the anime or manga? or is it just fan canon?

Are Vegito super saiyan blue kaioken and Canba base form even?
Why Canba transformed in chapter 3 of Dragon Ball Heroes into Golden Oozaru? Was he supposed to be weaker than Vegito super saiyan blue kaioken or was he supposed to be weaker? Some fans claims he was weaker, that wasnt what I got from the battle but perhaps it's portrayed differently in the manga.
Are Vegito super saiyan blue kaioken and Canba base form even?

Based on the fight, SSJB Vegito with Kaioken seems relative to Kanba in his Base form. I personally belive Kanba did have the edge over Vegito and would hence be stronger.The second part of your question is why did he transform when he happened to be stronger.  The key point to note here is that Vegito and Kanba were relative in power. While Kanba might have won the battle if they were to continue fighting (Assuming Vegito didn't defuse), he would've been battle damaged and severely wounded during the course of the fight. When Kanba clearly has the level of power to outright overpower his opponent, it obviously made sense for him to transform into the Golden Oozaru.

Are Mu and Kiki Humans?
Are these two characters from Saint Seiya regular human beings like Seiya? Or are they members of another race?

It's unknown, although if they are not 100% human, they mostly are.
Both are supposed to be descendants of muvians, an ancient race that inhabited the continent of Mu, which is considered largely extinct.
That race had some natural ability for psychic powers without the use of cosmos, so as both can use them, it feels safe to assume that it's due to its natural genetic ability, not due  to cosmos, so in this sense you wouldn't call them  humans at 100%.
You can check that here.

Midchlorians...

Yes, they are. They just have psychic powers.

What's the origin of spiral glasses as a Japanese stereotype?
I've noticed - and indubitably, others have, too, as noted on this TV Tropes page - that often, whenever a "nerdy" character wears glasses in anime, they have a spiral shape on them. Examples are easy to find, with popular examples including Saori from Oreimo:

In particular, I became curious upon noticing them in Berserk, on Puck's "business" glasses:

I was just wondering, since this trope seems so ubiquitous in Japanese cultures and rare in others - what is the origin of this design? What about the spiral shape is intended to elicit an aura of "geekiness", and what major origins or influences led to its widespread use today?

There was supposedly a time, before innovation introduced plastic lenses, when glasses were made with the bottom of cow milk bottles.

Bottom of a milk bottle manufactured in Hiroshima, Showa 35 (1960)

As you can see, the bottom of the bottle has concentric circles, and the spirals seen in manga basically come from there, and evolved into spirals later.
Basically, the idea of the spirals is to emphasize the fact that the lenses of the glasses worn by a character are overly thick, so they are similar to these old days glasses. Effectively, one of the stereotypes/means to recognize otakus in late 90s in Japan was their thick-lens glasses.
There is also the idea that spirals are associated to another trope of being dizzy, basically a negative emotion that can be attached to the negative stereotypes surrounding otaku.
This trope is so strong that it's literally called "bottle's bottom glasses" in Japanese (瓶底眼鏡), and if you google "bottom of cow milk bottle" (牛乳瓶の底), you will see countless glasses results, as many opticians use the trope as their business' name.

Found this relevant link online: https://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/180973/what-do-we-call-glasses-with-thick-lenses

It seems like the trend of using bottles for lenses was worldwide, but different countries used different bottles to store different liquids.

Nerds are usually depicted in media to weak very thick glasses. This is probably true in any country or culture. The spiral is just the way manga and anime artists illustrate the very thick glasses. Instead of drawing concentric circles or some other style, they just draw spirals as it's easier that way.

This sounds fair enough, but if it were that simple, I'd expect this simple way of depicting thick glasses to be drawn universally as well - not just in Japan. Cultures like America tend to depict thick glasses using dotted pupils instead... I'm interested in knowing the reason for the difference, but at least I know the origin now.

Your question was asking for the origin, so that's what gave in my answer. If you want to know the reason for the difference between American comics/cartoons and Japanese manga/anime, then can you please rephrase your question?

Did Squad 13 contain a pioneer among the Parasites?
The events of episode 17 eventually lead to the revelation that

 Kokoro is pregnant with Mitsuru's child

In episode 22 New Nana states that this diagnosis was obtained primarily from old-world information regarding hormone levels. New Nana then goes on to state that pregnancy inhibits a Pistil's ability to pilot a Franxx, with the two courses of actions being:

Stay out of the action until the child is born, or
Abort the foetus

Which begs the question, was this the first recorded instance of a Pistil becoming pregnant? From Original Nana's flashback in episode 18 we know that

 Neither Kokoro and Mitsuru, nor Hiro and Zero Two are the first Parasite pairing to fall in love

But how is it known that pregnancy interferes with the ability to pilot a Franxx if she is the first of her kind to be affected?

The episode wiki says it's an error, as the one who is pregnant was able to pilot the Franxx in previous episodes without issue. However, the wiki does not provide a source for that

@Wondercricket I imagine physical limitations would also play a part, given the setup of the cockpit. Also keep in mind during the final time she piloted she would've been no more than a few weeks pregnant - her physical symptoms (i.e. morning sickness) didn't start to appear until after all the Parasites had been grounded following the battle for Gran Crevasse.

@Wondercricket If memory serves me correctly, she was also suffering a few sync issues during Gran Crevasse, but I'll need to double-check that.

My memory probably doesn't serve me well, so I'll need to double check as well. It's been a few week since I've watched the show. I really do like your questions though, I never really considered it beforehand

@Wondercricket A slight correction, the Franxx in question did fall into difficulties during episode 20, but that stemmed from her partner, not the pregnancy.

is Vegeta's new form in manga chapter #40 super saiyan blue evolution?
So Vegeta in chapter #40 powers up to another form. Is this form supposed to be  super saiyan blue evolution? Is it supposed to be a different form?

no, it is a evolved form the the original SSB/SSJB (Super Saiyan Blue). This is noted, because of the darker blue around the edges of Vegeta's aura, and the regular SSB has no darker blue around the edges. This new SSB evolved form was never reached by Goku,at least in the anime series of Dragon Ball Super.
The evolved form of SSB has the FULL abilities of SSB, which the regular form only has for the first few seconds. Although SSB evolved is good, it is not as fast as SSG (Super Saiyan God).
So this is not the same form, it is an evolved form, and has the FULL potential of SSB, with no limitations whatsoever.
the following is a evolution chart for all of the Dragon Ball transformation (Saiyans only) (Includes all forms used by both Goku AND Vegeta)
Kaioken --> Super Vegeta --> SS1 --> SS first-grade --> SS second-grade --> SS2 --> SS3 --> SS4 --> SSG --> SSB --> SSR (Super Saiyan Rose, used by Goku Black) --> SSB Evolved (Vegeta was first to use this evolved form of SSB) --> UI --> MUI (UI exhausts the user, and MUI furthur exhausts the user, but when Goku used it, he would've died if he came out of it then)
I did my research on the Dragon Ball Wiki
Links:
SSB: https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Saiyan_Blue
SSB evolved: https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Saiyan_God_SS_Evolved
SS flow chart: https://comicbook.com/anime/2017/11/28/dragon-ball-super-saiyan-flowchart/

It is not acknowledged as a new transformation and Super Saiyan Blue Evolution is a new transformation. Vegeta was in his mastered Super Saiyan Blue form and reached a higher state of the form in terms of raw power(Comparable to SSJB Goku powering up against Jiren in Episode 122).
Another reason for stating the same is because the Super Saiyan Blue Evolution was considered to be an anime-exclusive form. However, it is important to note that we won't know the exact answer for the question until Toyataro makes any comment with regard to the same.

What makes Seras Victoria special?
I've only watched Hellsing Ultimate. The Major recognizes Seras as a real threat when he warns Zorin before attacking Hellsing's manor. He calls her a miracle of sorts.
Sure enough, she's clearly stronger than most other vampires. But why? Was it simply the fact that Alucard himself transformed her? What made her special if she didn't even consume Alucard's blood? Why does the Major think so highly of her?

Here is what makes her special.
Unlike other vampire who run around just killing random people and do what the want, Seras works for Hellsing, they have a reputation for dealing with stuff like the supernatural. Not to mention (as far as we know) She was the first person to be turned by Alucard(if any other people have been turned they were never mention nor brought up in Hellsing's brief run).
He considers her a miracle cause she is most likely the only person who Alucard has never killed(via bites anyway). Or transformed, everyone else is good as dead.
She is special cause she is Alucard's pet, his side kick and almost as dangerous as he is.

What is the book referred to in Episode 4 of Asobi Asobase?
Towards the end of episode 4, around the 18th minute mark, the girls are discussing the title of book(that is supposedly BL). Hanako suggests Anal Bum Cover (according to the subtitles). At that point the teacher screams and asks her not to tarnish her bible.
So, is Hanako's title based on some famous Japanese book?

According to this review, the term is slightly mistranslated, and is closer to 'Please Save My Butt', a play on 'Please Save My Earth', which is the series that is garnering the reaction.
As a side note, Anal Bum Cover is most likely a reference to the Saturday Night Live skit 'Celebrity Jeopary', in which "Sean Connery" reads the category "An Album Cover" as "Anal Bum Cover"

Why do light novels tend not to be animated directly?
Based on the answer to this question, it seems that light novels that are turned into anime are generally made into manga first (eg Haruhi Suzumiya). There are some exceptions, such as Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions where an ONA was released of it before a full anime and Toaru Hikūshi e no Koiuta where the manga began a month after the anime. A lot of other LNs are never turned into anime at all, including ones that exist in otherwise existing anime canons (eg the light novels set in the Naruto canon).
Are the ones that are made into a manga first done so to determine if they'll be financially successful in visual form, and that's why they're not made directly into anime? Why then would ones that are part of popular series (Naruto, Death Note, etc.) not be made into anime? Is there a reason why we so rarely if ever see light novels turned directly into anime?

From what I could find, by searching on the net, is that most Light Novels are not written properly, both in the sentence-style, and in how characters and situations are constructed.
Here are a couple of quotes from a blog I found that might explain why adapting Light Novel to anime directly might be hard,

You see, these descriptions in LNs rarely happen from the point of
  view of a detached third-person describing events, but are almost
  always presented in the form of the protagonist narrating the events
  they see. All these adjectives and adverbs are there to ensure we
  don’t miss anything, and to tell us how the protagonist views the
  world.
They also show a certain uncertainty as to the quality of one’s
  writing, to its efficacy in transmitting information without resorting
  to this tool. If one trusts their writing, and if one trusts their
  characters and situations to pass muster on their own, then you can
  just present the scene and let people interpret the characters on
  their own. Yes, some people might interpret things differently, but
  that isn’t a bug, but a feature. Not so in light novels, we must at
  all times know what the characters actually think, what is their take
  on every little thing that occurs. The scenes aren’t allowed to
  breathe.
This is more than just slightly over-wrought floral descriptions,
  however. It is more than just not trusting your audience to get what
  you are going for (in the style of flashbacks). Another issue is that
  since the author does his characterization that way, they aren’t doing
  it in other ways – such as through the characters’ words and their
  actions. Not just the other actions’, but the protagonist’s as well.
  There is no need to “let actions speak for themselves” when you can
  just narrate every thing you want to transmit to the audience.
There is something many light novels protagonists share, which is
  related to the issue of flashbacks I mentioned previously – they
  narrate. They are wry and cynical individuals who have lengthy
  internal monologues. Most of what we know of them is through these
  monologues. And here is where we reach the realm of adaptations. How
  do you adapt such narrators? Either you have a “narrator track”, and
  the character carries on monologues internally, such as Hachiman from
  OreGairu or Kyon from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, in which case
  you reinforce their cynical and somewhat withdrawn personality, or you
  simply cut it out.
And that’s where it gets messy. Since so much of the characterization,
  especially of the main character is carried out through internal
  monologues, if you cut them all out then the protagonist seems like an
  empty shell. Yes, it’s the author’s fault, but when you adapt such a
  character, whose actions and words don’t speak for themselves because
  they never had to, you’re left with a “Too cool”, “wry”, and “slightly
  withdrawn” character. The common complaints against shounen LN heroes.
  It’s all true, but so are the cries of the LN readers who tell the
  anime-critics that they’re missing on the true depth of the character,
  which had never been carried over.

I think the thing is that it would be slightly more easier to adapt the anime from the manga (i.e LN->Manga->Anime) because most of the key frames would already be present and there would be a more clear understanding of the OG Creators idea or vision. I think it might also be slightly easier for the manga to adapt the narration aspect of LN's.
Having said all that, I think it is best to keep  note that anime, especially the ones which adapt a manga or light novel, are mostly there to act as promotional or infomercial material for the OG content. And they sort of assume you’ve already consumed the original material.

I'm not an industry insider but it's not a deliberate matter of testing the market with manga before doing an anime.
It's simply that an anime is a much larger investment for all parties involved with a much longer lead time. As a result, the chances are, by the time a LN has passed through the various investors and producers required to greenlight it it has already been taken up by a mangaka. In the typical case, it's just so much easier to get a manga deal done first. The popularity of the manga itself does not directly affects the anime, the popularity (in some cases just the quality) of the original LN is enough to make a project happen.

This would be my suspicion too. An anime is millions of dollars and tons of opportunity cost while your writers, artists, and animators are working on it instead of something else. A manga adaptation can basically be you take some promising rookie who won a few contests and let them work off the existing novel. The cost is lower, the risk is lower, and if the manga is successful, it's further evidence that the original work is viable.

Does this manga mentioned in Outbreak Company actually exist?
The show makes many references to existing works, so I'm hoping it's also the case here.  It's mentioned in Episode 2, around 21:30 mark.  I grabbed two relevant screenshots.
The audio is as follows:
"That manga...  It's about a slave girl who's taken in as the Overlord's daughter and falls in love with him... She faces hardship after hardship, and when she and the Overlord finally come to understand each other..."

According to the Outbreak Company TV Tropes page it's Bastard!!, a still ongoing monthly manga series which started in 1987.

Does Rintarou also transfer his tiredness everytime he travels back in time by transfering his memories?
So Rintarou travels back in time by transfering his memories. Then a day passes and he transfers his  memories back again. Another day passes and he transfers his memories again. And so on. Many days have passed but he returns to a body which recently slept (one day ago probably) but his mind havent slept for many days. Is it supposed he's a day tired or dozens of days tired? How does the travel in time by transfering memories (and/or state of mind) works?

Yes okabe does this while trying to save Mayuri the days get shorter & shorter so it would be dangerous.

Interesting question that I think is never actually addressed in canon.

I think it is implied that the physical tiredness isn't transfered as Okabe seems to be able to stay awake without physically suffering from it after much more time than would be humanly possible.
However, the repetitive transfers seem to affect his mental health in a big way, as suggested in one of the game's endings (Suzuha's ending):

 Okabe keeps on repeating the day prior to Mayuri's death because he gave up on trying to prevent her death but doesn't want her to go away. After dozens if not hundreds of "rewinds", he ends up going mental and having homicidal thoughts. "What would happen if I just give Daru a push when that truck passes by ? Would anything really change if he dies ? I would be able to leap back to the beginning of the day anyways..." (The wording might not be correct, this is just my recollection of this ending). He ends up getting help from Suzuha.

What's happened to the Masamune to make it so evil?
in Chrono Cross the Masamune is shown as an evil sword that draws out the wielder's dark desires and generally causes them to kill their allies.
yet in Chrono Trigger this never happened to Glenn or Cyrus and if what was happening with it in Chrono Cross was because of how the Masamune was created from the Red Dagger being used on the Mammon Machine (and thus influenced in some way by Larvos) then the 2 of them should have been feeling the effects already since they wielded the sword before the events of Chrono Cross
So what's happened to the Masamune to make it so evil?

I'm not familiar with Chrono Cross or Chrono Trigger, but those could actually be different swords. Masamune was a very famous historical sword maker, so his swords are known as "a Masamune" in the same way violins made by Stradivarius are known as "a Stradivarius." Strangely, in Japanese video games, the best sword or near best sword in the game are often called Masamune even if they were not supposed to be made by Masamune, and he may not even exist in that game's universe. It's like the name Masamune is near mythological, and synonymous with "really awesome sword."

@Kai In Chrono Trigger at least, the Masamune is one specific sword. I'm assuming it's the same in Chrono Cross.

Maybe the cause was the fall of Guardia kingdom and theft  of aformentioned sword.

How do you spell Marry Kozakura's name in English?
I've been using "Marry" up until now, but it just occurred to me that I don't know for sure if that's the best choice.
As I understand it, the spelling of her name varies a lot across translations. I've seen "Marry", "Mary", and "Marie" being used. Also, in Japanese, her given name is 茉莉, which I've seen get read as both まり and マリー.
So, is there a particular spelling that is more commonly used or more official than the others? Or are they about the same? How do the translators' choices for her name compare between the songs, the manga, the light novel, the anime, and other supplementary material?

Looking at the official website for Mekakucity Actors, Marry is a valid Romanized spelling of her name. Usually when there is discrepancy over how a name is Romanized across different media it is because there is no single official version, or the else the spelling changed over time, or else there just wasn't much care taken in localizing the name (either because the translators weren't familiar with the origin or target language, or because different translators had different opinions and were allowed to do what they wanted).
So the answer to your question is that any / all spellings in official media are valid, with the more recent ones probably being the "most official". When it comes to names translations and readings are much less cut and dry. Even the Japanese spelling マリー is a non-standard way of reading the kanji in her name, which is also fairly common with Japanese names.

Why are there Japanese and English names mixed in the anime series Fairy Tail?
In Fairy Tail, there are names like Lucy and Wendy mixed with Japanese names like Nastu and Kagura.  I was wondering if there was a specific reason for this, or if they just wanted that way for no reason.  I've been questioning about this for a while.

You forgot mentioning Makarov, a Russian name. IMO it is just Hiro Mashima sensei's naming sense.

Like Hiro Mashima said in his interview with ThoughCo.,
"Q: Are the Fairy Tail characters based on people in real life? Is there a character in Fairy Tail that is most like you?
Hiro Mashima: Definitely Natsu. He's like me in junior high! (laughs) All the other characters are based on my friends, my editors, people I know through work."
So based off of this text, a valid guess or answer could be that the names were based on people he knew. Lucy is a plausible common name for people and as an author of a popular manga before Fairy Tail, Rave Masters, he most likely would've known some people with these names or similar names. For example, there was a Japanese Musician named Masakazu Natsuda. (Pure guesswork here) So Natsu could've very well come from there.
So in conclusion and answering OP's question, the names that were given to the characters were extremely diverse like you said, some Western names, some Japanese names, and even a Russian name! Based on that interview (Little evidence here, please don't blast me), I believe that the names could've come from the people and connections Hiro Mashima had in real life.

By and large almost all the names in Fairy Tail are Western names or at least meant to sound Western.  The setting of Fairy Tail is a pretty generic western fantasy world at its base, so most characters have names appropriate for such a world. While there are a few obviously Japanese sounding names, I don't think there's much reason for them beyond their characters usually being obvious Japanese or Far-East stereotypes.
There doesn't seem to be much information on how the author of Fairy Tail names his characters. However, in an interview in 2008 he explained why he named Natsu after the Japanese word for summer:

For my Japanese audience, I thought western fantasy names would be unfamiliar. [...] Natsu means "summer," so he's a fiery guy.

However familiarity doesn't seem to have been a concern when he named other characters, or when he gave Nastu a family name, Dragneel or his nickname "Salamander".

How strong is Gintoki?
In episode 21 of the 2006 series, when Gintoki tries to buy a fan , apparently he gets involved in a fight where he breaks a car in 2 with a kick, and later he throws an object larger than him, presumably very heavy.

But since he was telling these events to Kagura, and Kagura said he made up this story of how he got the fan, we dont know if this really happened or not, despise the fan is signed by a girl which was involved in the events he told, asserting the story seems to be at least partially true.
My question is how strong is Gintoki? Does he has superhuman-level strenght? or is he just a skilled samurai with regular human strenght?

Well, previously Gintoki did slash a reactor into two...He pulled a friggin Helicopter down to Earth...he exchange blows with one of the 3 strongest races, the Yato...so at the very least he is far above average.

yeah, I saw now the episode where he brings down the helicopter. Which is weird because previously Kagura stopped a car in movement and everybody was surprised, but taking down a helicopter probably requires more strenght. And there is another episode where he and Katsura are completely overpowered and "kidnapped" by a trans samurai. I wonder how much strong is this samurai then??

Can Mirio solidify his body beyond human level hardness?
So there is no explanation for Mirio's strenght making him able to knock hard rock characters like Kirishima. One wikia states he has enhanced strenght. Since he is able to de-solidify his body, and later solidify it to at least human level solid, can it be that he can solidify beyond human level and that makes him able to become harder and stronger to the point of knocking heroes with superhuman resistance? Similar to what another hero from another universe like Vision from Marvel who is also able to desolidify and solidify does?
Is there any hint/statement in the manga or any guidebook about how much he can solidify his body after de-solidifying?

There are two easy explanations we know to be true off the top of my head for how he can easily punch Kirishima.  1: he is very strong from training.  2: he can phase a little into  a person with his punch causing a strong repulsion as he phases back in.  The superpower "phasing" implies that the person using the power moves into another dimension (not exactly but close enough) to pass through stuff rather than changing their density.  His power looks like that and that would not fit well with Vision's increasing density further.

What happened to Magus?
In Chrono Trigger the party can go to Time's Eclipse to encounter a version of Magus from a future where Lavos was destroyed and fight the Dream Devourer which is thought to be an earlier form of the Time Devourer because of Schala being in the same spot.
After fighting it, still loosing and being sent away Schala tells the Future Magus that he can never hope to destroy it and to give up sending him away too. Magus laments on this and decided that if he can't save Schala he'll fade away too but if something of him remains then he hopes it can can save Schala and we see a Magus without Memories wandering in a forest.
in Chrono Cross after waking Kid up following FATE's destruction Luccia gives Kid a letter from Lucca effectively telling her not to blame herself for whatever happens to her saying that she expects something from the future(s) they negated to seek revenge but also telling Kid that Janus (Magus's real name) will look out for her if not already with her (to which she says hello to him in the letter).
But i didn't see Magus at all in Chrono Cross. Since Lucca was for sure that he would be at least looking out for her and something remained of him after he faded away, what happened to Magus?

I thought that originally, there's a character in Chrono Cross that was supposed to be revealed to be Magus, but they cut that idea.

Why most of the heroes have close range physical quirks?
Most of pro-heroes and most of students have some reasonably straight-forward close range physical quirks (explosions, fire/ice, become a rock, anti-gravity and so on).
There are very few heroes who have mental abilities: eraser head and Hitoshi Shinso.
And there are few who has anything long distance (as example Kurogiri).
I believe it's mentioned that it's rare. However, it feels like these kind of abilities should be way-way more effective than close range physical abilities.
It feels like in MFA world, people who has such type of unusual abilities should bubble up to the top (specifically to fight villains). This is especially true, taking into account that gadgets can easily suppliment they physical abilities.

out of universe reason: it's way to hard to balance long range abilities when they can just stay out of range from the close combat experts. And having 2 long range battlers against each other just makes it devolve into a uninteresting pot shot contest or a beam battle.

This is just my personal opinion:
In the anime, it was only mentioned for Kurogiri that it is rare for someone to have warping abilities.
Besides that, I believe one of the reason that people with unusual ability, such as Eraserhead, are not able to easily bubble to the top is because in order to use their quirks, they have to pay relatively higher cost (regardless the nature of the cost) than others, like Eraser head have

 eye issues, which is now affecting his daily life

and also for Shinso, he

 cannot activate his quirk by himself, and at least as of now, he cannot use his quirk freely as he please due to the stress it places on himself

Furthermore, since we know these are unusual quirks, it wouldn't be a surprise if people gang up on them to bring them down, just like

 How the league of villians took down Eraserhead, though there were obviously handicaps that caused him to lose, but the fact remains is that, under certain conditions, he will lose

However, in All Might's case, people have tried to bring him down since forever. A good example is once again, the

 league of villians. IMO, the only reason why he lost is because of his injuries from All For One. If it wasn't, he would definitely beat them - Which implies directly that he is just that overwhelming in terms of "Close range physical attack"

Therefore, they don't become top heroes, though they are definitely way above average.
EDIT:

 The strength that Midoriya exerted even while wearing the support equipment broke, as it cannot withstand the pressure. Which means, at least as far as the science advancement in the show is concern, gadgets still cannot fully overtake physical quirks. However, this is obviously far-stretched, since One For All is literally the strongest quirk. However, in the general case. True, gadgets can easy supplement their physical abilities, but they would have to wield it to use it, and I'm sure it'd be much easier to break their gadgets. (IMO)

Can 2 elements be combined into a new release without a "clan based Kekkai Genkai"?
The Anime has stated quite a lot of times that Kekkai Genkai is a genetic leverage that some clans have, which allow them to combine 2 elements into a new style.
(Like for example, wind + water makes the ice release and Earth + lightning makes the explosion release).
What I'm more interested in thou, is if its possible for a prodigy who can use 2 elements, to combine them. To be more specific I'm asking if its possible for Boruto to create a new release by combining lightning and wind style. (I don't even know what the combination of wind and lightning creates).
I'm really interested in this because there has been some individuals who have used releases from combinations of 2 elements without being from a notable "Kekkai genkai known clan". An example is deidra, who could use the explosion style and also darui, the wiki even states that: "By combining his water and lightning-natures, he can utilise Storm Release".
So could Boruto possibly create a new release of his own by incorporating lightning style and combining it with wind nature.

No captain Yamato & kakashi made it clear while during Naruto's training for rasen shuriken, that only people having kekkai genkai blood can combine two chakra forms to form a new one , but even if you combine two different jutsu you will call it either collaboration or combination of jutsu ex: Sasuke, Naruto's combined scorch realese nibus tempest (combination of wind style rasen shuriken & infrno style susano flame control arrow)ps: I don't know the spellings.

i don't mean a collaboration technique. I mean simultaneously using the 2 elements to create a new style.  Also, Darui's ability to use storm release was only attributed  to him combining 2 elements. The anime never spoke about him being from a storm release renowned clan

Indeed, two or more elements can be mixed and utilized without it being clan based.
According to the Naruto wiki:

Wood Release (木遁, Mokuton, Viz: Wood Style) is a nature transformation kekkei genkai, a combination of Earth and Water Release. It was famously used by Hashirama Senju, and in fact is not known to have naturally occurred in anyone else, leading to it being regarded as impossible to use without having his cells.

Wood Release is a Kekkei Genkai only naturally used by Asura Otsutsuki and Hashirama Senju. Asura received Wood Release after Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths, passed his power onto him. Wood Release is also of Otsutsuki lineage, another possibility as to why Asura has it. Hashirama most likely has it being his former reincarnate. This power is a mixture of two elements not used by any Senju except Hashirama.
The wiki also states:

A kekkei genkai (血継限界, literally meaning: Bloodline Limit) is an anomaly of the DNA that allows the wielder to use unique techniques. A kekkei genkai's name describes both the anomaly and the resulting technique.

You are not wrong on this part. But Kekkei Genkai are shown to not only be bloodline abilities. They are also known to be the mixture of two elements, not needing to be passed down. Examples of this are Hashirama, and Haku. Boruto may be able to make a new Kekkei Genkai, but as of now, it has not been shown.
Final Answer
Yes, it is true that Kekkei Genkai are typically known to be abilities passed down by family, examples being the Hyuuga's Byakugan, The Uchiha's Sharingan, and the Chinoike Clan's Ketsuryugan. But Kekkei Genkai are also known as the mixture of two elements.

Can the Kekkai Touta be achieved by anyone with 3 chakra natures?
Oonoki was a student of Lord Mu (The 2nd Tsichukage), the 2 of them weren't related in any way. However, Oonoki was able to learn the Dust release (Aka particle style in Dubs) from him.

Does this mean that the tsichukage can also teach kekkai touta to individuals with at least 3 chakra natures?
(Kekkai Touta is a more advanced version of Kekkai Genkais and is a  combination of 3 chakra natures).

Very closely related

ooh lol, @Wondercricket Our questions are on the same topic but they are relatively different

They are indeed very similar, so thought I'd link it

yea  the main difference is that i'm more interested in if OOnoki can pass on the jutsu to other shinobi. Or maybe even teach individuals with 3 different chakra natures, how to create a new form of Kekkai Touta

No, it's not possible, maybe it's too late for the answer but anyway;
the only ones teachable are the 5 basic elements (if the individual is compatible with them) and some Kekkai Genkais that are transmittable like sharingan etc.
So the point is if the individual does not have in his blood you can't teach him how to use it or activate it, for your question, if someone does not have that Kekkai Touta you cannot teach him those jutsus. it's exactly the same with Kakashi, even though he could use up to 4 chakra natures but he couldn't copy any technique that's based on Kekkai Genkai or Kekkai Touta simply because he doesn't have that Kekkai Genkai ou Kekkai Touta.
So mastering the 5 elements doesn't give the ability to use Kekkai Genkai or Kekkai Touta.

Cite sources to support your answer.

Kekkei Tota is like a natural selection, not being possible the teaching, or descent by bloodline, unlike Kekkei Genkai.

How does Water style function in naruto?
So i get that with fire and lightning style you generally create a flame or electric current by turning the chakra into energy and with wind style you breathe in air but how does chakra create earth and water for those styles? we see that some use water that they drink much like gamatatsu and other jutsu depend on water near you but what about the shinobi who just spit out massive amounts of water without having any around or without being able to store it inside of them by drinking? is it like summoning from somewhere else or is it more along the lines of creating actual mass out of nothing?

In the Naruto-verse, chakra can be converted into all forms of nature. That's the logic of the Anime. A user with affinity to any chakra nature can create that element using his/her chakra. Water release is no exception. Ninja's with an affinity to water nature type can use their chakra to create water. However, the amount of water they create depends on how much chakra they have.

Its not like they are summoning water from an ocean or anything. Its more like the chakra inside the user is being converted into the element. IF your still not getting what i mean then i'd recommend you to read this: http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Chakra

omg i love you! thanks for the explaination it really helped because its so counter intuitive to me but i get it now :) its really cool

I had the exact same answer.

You've answered your own question.
It's the same as fire/lightning style.You just convert your chakra to water.It's a pretty simple concept,isn't it?There's no summoning involved.It just depends on the fighting style you are accustomed to.Some shinobi are good at the water style.

but fire and lightning are not physical objects like water or earth, both are a state of energy right? electricity isnt a physical material and neither is fire. so by heating up your chakra (energy) you can make it burn (thereby spending that energy) but you cant create mass from energy can you? creating a charge or a fire from energy both make sense (chakra is energy right?) those seem quite realistic changes in chakra nature but when it comes to earth and water i dont understand how they create physical water or earth from spiritual energy

@Suitonlover I get what's confusing you, your probably thinking about it in terms of the laws of thermodynamics (which states that energy/matter can neither be created nor destroyed) but then think about it this way. Chakra is energy which can be converted into any form of matter depending on the users nature type.

Why is Boruto's Dojutsu different?
Usually most Dojutsu Kekkkai Genkai come in pairs. What I mean by this is, the Sharingan, Rinnengan, Byakugan and even Tensengan usually always come in pairs (for both eyes) but then Boruto only awakened his Jogan in just one eye.
Is there a solid explanation for this? or is it synonymous to how Sasuke only awakened his Rinnegan in only one eye?

Sasuke did not awaken his Rinnegan himself.It was given to him by Hagoromo,he had no such "choice" of awakening only one Rinnegan.It was Hagoromo's decision to give him only one Rinnegan to avoid it's misuse which Madara had done.
Coming to Boruto's Jougan,it's just a very rare case of Byakugan that was triggered probably because of Naruto's enormous chakra.He awakened it only in one eye,not two,the explanation for which is not very clear.

Why couldn't Natsu tell the difference between Gemini and Gray?
In episode 58 Natsu encounters Gemini posing as Gray. Wouldn't her smell be different? Or does Gemini have the ability to mimic that too?

He couldn't tell because firstly because of motion sickness (remember he is on moving rafter) ,secondly Gray is his rival hence he couldn't think straight & natsu is somewhat dumb.

he wasnt on the raft at first...:"gray" was in the water before pulling off that dirty trick but natsu has a really good nose you would think he'd be able to tell the difference like he does a million other times unless gemini can completely copy another person or object including scent. didnt know if there was reference to something like this or its just one of those things that will stay a loophole.

sorry I have forgotten the Sean  I think the real reason maybe generally river washes away the sent of a person we see it often in Naruto. So natsu might subconsciously think the same.

Gemini makes exact copies, even the celestial spirits couldnt tell the difference and they are bound by a magic contract. It makes sense that a perfect body copy would smell the same too. It does specifically say its an exact duplicate.

How is Phantom a "top sniper" when they seem to spend little time actually acting as snipers?
On several occasions, Phantom's role in Inferno is described by Scythe Master. For example, in the beginning of ep. 11:

Phantom… the strongest assassin in Inferno… the title given to the top sniper in the organization…

I can see how Ein and Zwei are the strongest assassins in Inferno, but I'm confused by the designation of "top sniper." To me, "top sniper" suggests that the person specializes and is especially proficient in, well, sniping. But Ein and Zwei spend a lot of time in the series (at least up to ep. 10) in close quarters combat or situations that lead to close quarters combat. It was probably intended that they fight in such situations, given that they follow certain instructions when carrying out orders. They also seem to have been specially trained for such situations, based on what I remember from ep. 2 and 3. The only instance that I recall where Phantom serves as a sniper outright is in ep. 7, where Ein is ordered to shoot people who are overseeing a narcotics shipment.
In contrast, other fictional snipers that I can recall, such as Riza Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist and Sinon from Sword Art Online, clearly have a background in sniping, even if they end up in close quarters combat on numerous occasions.
How is then Phantom a "top sniper"? Or is there something I'm misunderstanding, either about the nature of Phantom's work, or about what snipers typically do?

Update: fwiw both Ein and Zwei are snipers in ep. 16.

What is Meliodas's TRUE power level
Before regaining his true power Meliodas has a power level of 3,750 then he regains his true power having a power level of 32,500 but Meliodas seems like he is much more powerful.

look at that smirk seems like he's hiding his true power**

Well, his 'normal' Power level would be 32,500.
With the "Demon Mark" it is at 56,000.
After his revival, his 'normal' power level was at 60,000.
And in is Assault Mode it is at 142,000.
Other numbers aren't known to us at this point, IIRC.

If the darkness swallowed him entirely or the demon kind took over his body then he would have a power level of over 200k

Please include relevant sources/references. Specify specific anime episodes and manga chapters, if needed.

Aside of the power levels listed here, there are 2 power levels more listed for him before his power were restored.
4400 with the Demon Mark and 10,300 when going berseker (again, before his powers were restored)

Why is the bang covering the right eye so prevalent among anime hairstyles?
Some examples: Wiz from Konosuba, Touka from Tokyo Ghoul, Sanji from One Piece
Note that while many have a plot reason, I'm referring to those who don't.

Perhaps the Peek-a-bang trope might be what your asking about?

It's mostly done because it looks cool. It's a very simple design choice that introduces asymmetry to a character's face, makes them a little more interesting to look at.
In general, hiding part of the face makes a character seem more mysterious or withdrawn, so it's useful to contribute to characterization for those characters that are shy or aloof, it reinforces that characterization.
There's no special significance to the right eye, in fact it's not uncommon for the side of the face that's covered to switch back and forth, either due to mistakes made by the artist/animator or due to the angle the character is seen at, or due to an actual change in the character's design (Sanji, for example, switches which side of his face is covered by hair after the time skip in One Piece).

Why do Mio and her friends seem to all wear different uniforms?
Mio, who is a student at Reiji and Ellen's school, is introduced in episode 20. It quickly becomes apparent that Mio's friends all wear different uniforms. This is most obvious in ep. 22, where we see a photo of Mio with Sanae and Ellen, after which Hirono, Sanae, and Ellen appear.

Why do the female students not have a standardised uniform? I have never seen such an egregious case of this. Other examples of differing uniforms are much easier to explain, and none of the reasons there seem applicable to Phantom.

In Sailor Moon, Rei is a transfer student and wears her old school uniform. She claims to have been unable to find a new one in her size. No one else wears anything different.
In Kare Kano, students do not all wear the same cookie-cutter uniform, but it is explained in the manga that the school offers a variety of styles for students to wear. It is also very clear that ultimately, these uniform combinations can form a coherent image for the school. In contrast, it is hard to imagine that these girls' uniforms from Requiem for the Phantom come from the same school.
In Kill la Kill, everyone except for the student council and Ryuuko seem to wear the same uniform. The student council and Ryuuko have been set apart from the other students, so it is not unreasonable that they should dress differently.

The school may have different uniforms for each class. This seems rather unlikely for the same reason you ruled out reason 2. In Tari Tari for example the girls in the music program have a dress while the other girls have skirt and shirt and tie.
It is possible that the school doesn't mandate a uniform but the girls decide to wear something uniform-like anyway because wearing a uniform at highschool is part of the culture. Out of universe it also helps establish that the setting has moved to japan.

The school does seem to have a uniform though at least for male students, which would make me assume that there also ought to be one for female students. (Reiji wears the same uniform as his friend, and from what I remember it doesn’t seem inconsistent with the background characters.)

Not all schools have a uniform policy. In those that don't, girls tend to wear what is called a lot of girls wear what is called "nanchatte seifuku" (なんちゃって制服) which are "fake" school uniforms that are more fashionable and cute. School uniforms are a big deal in Japan as a fashion statement for school age students, for better and for worse. The male student might not care much about fashion and wear more muted designs. Their school may have basic guidelines but no set requirement that may differ by gender.

Not that I know of/not that any list seems to have, but there's also a pretty limited number of ANBU that we know anything about. (http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Special:BrowseData/Characters?Rank=Anbu)

interesting question @dj0mal I remember Danzo saying something like all clans in Konoha had at least a member in the Anbu but now that i think about it, The Hyuuga clan has never been seen to be affiliated with the group, maybe its cause they are a noble clan i guess.

I guess there is anbu hyuga I think the Bird-Masked Anbu
When shisui gets attacked by danzo’s anbu and when Orochimaru escaping from konoha and almost captured by 3rds hogake and his anbu since kakashi was Young anbu because his long hair.
But my first saw anbu hyuga it was kyuubie attack not sure it exists or not it was sick Mandela effect I search didn’t find it
Episode 248 249 and 350 no single clip I searched until I give up
his mask not bird masked I think I don’t remember what his mask I remember he standing on tree and staring at nine tails like Bird-Masked Anbu because he has long hair.

Is Super Saiyan 4 Vegito transformation the same Super Saiyan 4 transformation we know or it's an upgrade?
So in Dragon Ball Heroes Vegito appeared after the fusion of Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta. But this Vegito has a Super Saiyan 4 transformation that sparks electricity like the SSJ2 unlike the original Super Saiyan 4 transformation. Is Super Saiyan 4 Vegito transformation the same Super Saiyan 4 transformation we know or it's an upgrade/ a new transformation?
Original SSJ4 transformation

SSJ4 transformation from Dragon Ball Heroes

Both Xeno Goku and Xeno: Vegeta were in their SSJ4 forms before and it was more or less established as their maximum level of power. Hence, Xeno: Vegito here is indeed using the same SSJ4 form.

It's the same SSJ4 the sparks were just there to show power kinda like the way his SSJ did the same back in the Buu saga.I'd link the DB wiki but i can't so maybe someone else can.

Why did i get a down vote ;-;

Your answer was not concise, it was more of a comment due to the way it was phrased.

At the end of episode 1, Klein tells Kirito that he looked cute, and was totally his type (script):

You were actually pretty cute.
That's my type.

Does this mean something different in Japanese?  Was something lost in translation?  Or is Klein gay for Kirito?  Or is Klein gay in general?  I can't recall another anime that I've watched that had similar dialogue, but I don't watch anime where dudes are explicitly hot for each other either.
I'm re-watching SAO and I never noticed this the first two times through.

I re-watched that episode because I also did not notice this. But it looks more like a friendly joke to me, given the events in that episode. If I remember correctly, Klein does not show any hints that he has romantic feelings to Kirito nor men in general throughout SAO.
Why was I able to say it was a friendly joke? Klein probably meant it as a joke that Kirito's face looks like a girl's that's his type. Also, as stated here, 'Klein is also a "bachelor" and is shown trying to get together with various women in the series, such as Asuna, Freyja, and even Kazuto's sister, whom he had yet to meet.' If he was gay, he would be going after men or would have at least an episode or two to discuss his backstory as to why he felt that way.

I think Klein's attempt to try and get a girlfriend is the best counter for him being gay. I re-watched the first episode SAO on Netflix and it seems something is definitely lost in translation. The English dialog says "You look better this way" whereas the English subtitles says "You look cuter this way"

Klein is definitely straight or at least bi, given that he fell for Freyja (ref: Calibur arc) and other girls.
My best guess is that Kirito's fairly delicate and 'definitely shows no sign of masculinity' looks would make Klein (initially and at first glance) mistake him as a girl. In addition, he entered the game at the age of 14, an age (at least in Japan) when youthfulness still persist.

Please include the references/sources you used. State the volume name, chapter, episode number, articles, etc. that you used.

yeah he meant it as a friendly banter, I know loads of straight guys who joke around like that especially with younger or more fem guys, most gay men I know don't because its more real for them when they say it. and most gay men are into men not boys it kind of defeats the idea of being gay, and it be a very short relationship.. ends at 18 lol?

Hi amaru, welcome to the site. Try to answer the question using references or sources from the anime/manga. Otherwise the answer is really only an opinion.

Why is Asuna alone during the first floor boss meeting?
We later find out that Asuna has a bright, charasmatic, personality in both SAO and the real world.  Why then is she more of a loner than Kirito when we first see her?
In episode 2, where they are having a meeting about how to defeat the first floor boss, she's hooded, with her hood up and afraid of and mistrustful of people.

I could not recall seeing the reason being explained in the anime but you have to understand that that people tend to react differently when they are placed in a situation like what happened in SAO. It was mentioned in here that

'when she discovered that she and all of the players were trapped in SAO, she secluded herself inside of her rented room in the Town of Beginnings for two weeks before resolving to take her fate into her own hands.' It was also mentioned as her personality that "she is not afraid to act out on her own and will take matters into her own hands from time to time" and that "Asuna originally did not care about dying in the game before meeting Kirito."

This implies that despite her 'bright, charasmatic, personality,' she is independent. That is just who she is. She seems more of a loner when Kirito first meets her because

she spent most of her time as a Solo Player after her two-week seclusion and because she originally did not care if she dies or not, as mentioned above, so she would most likely feel indifferent toward any group/party she meets. She might be okay with working with temporary parties/groups but at first, she probably do not want to get close to anyone, like being friends, to avoid hurting herself more since anyone could die in the SAO world. A proof of how she values relationships is mentioned in the wiki: '..She also cannot handle seeing others die in front of her, such as when she recklessly attacked The Gleam Eyes after seeing the Aincrad Liberation Force players getting slaughtered..'

Why didn't Kayaba Akihiko notice that not all of the players were logged out?
At the end of the first arc, Kayaba says that all the remaining players are safely logged out.  In the next episode, we find out that isn't the case.
Why didn't Kayaba notice that a good number of players were still logged in via their Nervegears?
He clearly had admin access to not only the game, but the servers; was intimately familiar with the source code, the design of the Nerve Gear, etc.

 Kayaba should have been able to notice anyone mucking about in the servers to prepare for such an event as to shuttle users from one VRMMORPG to another, especially because it was only him and Cardinal running the servers.

Because it's assumed his physical body died

In the aftermath of the death game, Akihiko proceeded with his desire to die along with the collapse of the game, as he had decided before Sword Art Online even began. He thus used a remodeled FullDive machine to perform a super high-powered scan of his brain to transfer his consciousness into the virtual world permanently. This scan led to his brain cells burning out, killing his body.

Source: Akihiko Kayaba > Chronology > Aincrad Arc (last paragraph)
now it's up to debate whether Kayaba's consciousness still lives but even if he lived on there's the fact he proably didn't care too much

Kayaba Akihiko had little to no empathy, with a complete disregard for human life, including his own, and instead was completely taken in by the virtual world. When he accidentally struck Asuna, which caused her apparent in-game death, he showed no remorse, and instead seemed rather amused, even though it caused Kirito an incredible amount of grief at the time. He chose to fulfill his dream by making a death game which cost thousands of lives, and simply noted that their minds were gone from both worlds. His fascination with computers was very much like Kirito's, with the major difference being Akihiko having no regard for the lives of others, and Kirito doing everything he can to protect them.

Source: Kayaba Akihiko > Personality (3rd paragraph
there's also the fact that Sugou knows the SAO systems because ALO is uses SAO's code base. also

Once «Sword Art Online» (SAO) was cleared, thus disabling the security of the SAO servers, he was able to hack into the SAO server via router and reroute the minds of three hundred SAO players including Asuna, to ALfheim Online.

Source: Sugou Nobuyuki > Background
i would assume Sugou would know to reroute the minds without drawing suspicion to or linking it back to the ALO servers or himself so even is Kayaba could do anything, it would proably be mitigating the damage (ie. less players get transfered). also Hollow Fragment would suggest that Sugou had Admin permissions in SAO as well so assuming Kayaba didn't have Super Admin anything Kayaba could do to stop Sugou he could just undo

Can Ken Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul self cannibalize?
Would it be possible for Kaneki to eat himself to prevent starvation? Or to keep himself from dying?

In the manga, I cannot recall that Kaneki self-cannibalized to prevent starvation or save himself. However, in Volume 7 Chapter 59 of the first Tokyo Ghoul,

when Anteiku found out that Kaneki was being held by Aogiri, Yoshimura asked for the help of Shuu Tsukiyama. When Touka asked how he (Shuu) was still alive, Shuu remarked that he just followed Touka's 'advice' and that after he did, he discovered that he 'actually tastes pretty good.' This implies that Shuu self-cannibalized after his battle with Touka. This also presents the possibility that a ghoul can self-cannibalize to heal himself/herself from injuries.

So, to answer your question, then yes, it is possible for Kaneki, and even for other ghouls, to self-cannibalize in order to save himself from starvation or death, as seen in Tsukiyama's case.

Did Dragon cause the lightning at Lougetown
I watched the anime at least twice but I don't understand. I know Dragon saved Luffy from Smoker but did he save Luffy at the execution stand? Bartholomew said he was stunned when he saw the lightning save Luffy. That makes me think it was Luffy's unexplainable luck, like when Fujitora rolled the dice to pursue Luffy

We don't know yet.  It seems likely.

Why would Dragon show up to stop Smoker back then? I don't think that was a coincidence

I did not realize that Oda has not revealed is yet. I've flagged this question to be closed

dragon's powers have not been disclosed yet , although there has been a lot of speculation that what happened at loguetown , the winds and the thunder could be a part of dragons powers

To answer cannonically, no he did not. As far as we know Dragon was not involved in that scenario and the reason why he survived is because of his incredibly high luck.
To answer speculatingly, There is some suspicion that this luck stems from the fact that he carries the "Will of D" whereas he must be an integral person to change the world.
The truth is however, given that he series is still in production (and probably will be for some time). We do not have enough data to say true or false. We can only form opinions off of what we do know.

I think it was the "Will of D" or his luck. The storm (in manga) appears before Luffy is pinned down. However, anime messed it up.

Also keep in mind that loguetown is before the grand line and the new world. So I doubt many people knew back then what the will of D is or that it even existed.

I do not know if this is accurate, of course as Kaz suggested only time can tell for sure. I compared the anime and manga and realized a few differences;
The Storm
Anime messed the timing, they probably were not expecting the "Will of D" at this time. Nami noticed the storm before Luffy was pinned at the execution stand (Chapter 98). In the Anime, Nami noticed the storm after Luffy was pinned (Episode 52). Leading me to consider the storm was either natural or if Dragon was a fruit-eater (only an one-piece fan would understand "fruit-eater") it was unintentional.
The Gust
It is obvious Dragon saved Luffy from Smoker. Anime makes it look like Dragon caused the Gust which freed Buggy, Alvida and the Mugi-wara (Straw hat) crew (Episode 53). However in the Manga (Chapter 100), the gust seems to have caught even Dragon by surprise.
Not-So-Important Detail
When Smoker pins Luffy, he tells Luffy that "Luffy's luck has run out" in the Manga (Chapter 100), but Smoker says his own bad luck has ended in the Anime (Episode 53)
Therefore I think the lightning which saved Luffy was Coincidental, "Will of D" or "Luck"

Monkey D. Dragon is most likely the one who cause the storm, at the time probably just getting near the island or stepping foot on it. Whenever Dragon is shown, the wind is blowing or there is a storm, meaning he probably consumed a mythical zoan devil fruit of which are said to have the ability to control the weather just like sengoku or marco. To further prove this, When smoker found out dragon was luffys father he said “that explains what happened at loguetown” most likely talking about when luffy was saved from execution by a bolt of lightning which sanji called “divine intervention”
Dragon is also seen always wearing some kind of robe covering his body probably to protect him from the constant rain or wind
Of course this is all a theory but it makes sense if it were true. Or maybe Dragon ate another devil fruit which allows him to control wind, or he was just strong enough to have his presence change the weather like when shanks and whitebeard clashed
If his name was meant to be taken literally i wouldnt be suprised if he can transform into a dragon like kaido (a blue dragon, dragons powers are green)

Maybe I'm wrong. But I saw a few people say that in the anime the storm doesn't appear until after Luffys pinned to the execution platform. But I'm literally watching the episode right now (rewatching from the beginning, so I'm up to date to where the recent dub episodes left off, near the very end of Wano, before you learn the strawhats new bounties) and it seems to me that it shows the storm rolling in during the title page of the episode, you can even hear a little thunder in the distance. Plus the high winds had already blown in, hence it showing Luffys hat get blown around 2 corners and land in the pavilion with the execution platform (something else that might either be luck or Dragons influence, still not sure) the episode before and in the recap. I don't read the manga so I'm sure it might be a little different, but to me it definitely shows the storm coming in before Luffy was pinned to the stage by Buggy and Alvida.....

What characters are "fictional characters" in Re:Creators based on
In the show Re:Creators, fictional characters start roaming "real world". Those fictional characters where created for the show, but are often reminiscent of characters from other fictional works in reality.
What characters or combination of would be closest to the fictional characters in Re:Creators?

The question in your title ("what are they based on") is fine, assuming you're looking for a word-of-god answer (though you'll probably never get one). But the question in the body of your post ("what characters are they closest to") is very broad and opinion-based. I recommend revising your post accordingly.

@senshin I'm sure there is no world of god for this and that there are not exact characters that would fit. Most of them are either combination or based on general tropes in a genre. Vote to close as opinion based if you wish.

Right - for example, Mamika is basically a pastiche of every "classic" magical girl. What kind of answer would you want for her? There's no objective metric by which we can say "Mamika is more like Sailor Moon than she is like Kinomoto Sakura". I don't see a way for this question to get answers that are anything other than "well, my opinion is that Mamika is most like character X". I'm going to close this as opinion-based, but of course if you'd like to edit it to tighten it up, that'll kick the question into the reopen queue.

@senshin Edit it yourself if you believe it can be worded in a way that won't make it opinion-based. As I have no idea how to do that.

I disagree that it is only opinion based. For instance, I came up with the same idea that Mamika was based on Madoka (Mamika's appearance during battle looks almost exactly like Madoka during the fight against Walpurgis). I don't think that there is a problem with question but rather answers should be supported with sources/references and/or proofs strong enough.

Some thoughts can be found on wiki page (Which I agree with. Especially about Alicetaria and Selesia): http://recreators.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Characters
I'm still curious from what RPG game Meteora came from (I guess something like Gothic or Elder Scrolls but I don't know these games so well)

there's my opnion:
Kirameki, Mamika >>based on Kaname, Madoka from Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica

Kanoya, Rui>>>> based on  Ikari, Shinji from Neon Genesis Evangelion

Talker, Blitz >>>> based on Half-life main caracter.

What is the origin relatioinship between the Cursed Blood Clan and the Kyoukai no Kanata?
Watching the movie, it seems like there is some relationship between the Cursed Blood Clan (CBC) (Kuriyama's) and the Kyoukai no Kanana (KnK) Youmu's origin.
And I am not talking about the romantic relationsip between Mirai and Akihito. About the origins of them both.
It is shown that

 Akihito and Mirai's mothers were close enough that Kuriyama could ask to be reforged into a ring upon her death.

So, what is the rellationship?

 Was the CBC involved in creating KnK?

Who is the person with purple hairs at the end of Kai season of Higurashi?
At the very end of Kai season of Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, there's a woman telling child Takano not to leave home. She has the same voice as Furude Rika. Is she Furude Rika?

If she is, is she a time traveller of some sort?

She is Frederica Bernkastel, whom I can't really explain well since I only watch the anime. However, she is related to Furude Rika (read as Frederica).

Wow, thanks. Does this character appear in Rei season, or do you know if it is related to the game?

Has Sanji mutated?
So from the recent manga chapters I know that

Sanji is the third son of the vinsmoke family and like his brothers he undergone a surgery as a fetus and has had his genes mutated. But due to drug his mother took he developed compassion and did not mutate while he was with his family.

So has he mutated over the course of his adventure or would this be a place for him to gain power from in the future?

He may have in some capacity and that may be revealed as the current arc (whole cake island) progresses. But currently no he is not mutated.
His father states this during their battle when he first left the straw hats, calling him weak and stating that he is suprised that Sanji is even able to use haki in his form.
During that battle and the other scuffles he's had with other siblings too, I'm sure that if he had undergone some sort of mutation it would have been brought to light by now.
In summation, Sanji is regarded by his father and siblings as the failed project because the mutation never took effect on him.

It never took effect when he was a child, I was wondering if he has mutated to some extend (not like his siblings and not full mutation) and oda plans to use his modified body to give him immense power at some point

@Henjin I haven't seen any commentary from Oda on that but if something like that is in the works. It will come out towards the climax of the whole cake island arc. I doubt it because if he had any potential the emotional uprise he had when he fought his father should have made it apparent which it didn't. Guess best option is to wait and see.

He did. However, we remember that his mother took the drug on all her children. It never had effect except a bit with Reiju and mostly with Sanji. Even though, the drug became less significant when Sanji learned from Seff the RedLeg. His power fully awakens when he battles Jabra. The first sign was his fire leg. However, after all this time, his emotions as a human being are not affected by the mutation.

PS. Jabra is the wolf from CP9.

You made the assumption that the mutation was the cause of his sudden gain of power, but in my opinion, it is rather is intense training and the tension during Robin's rescue that made him stronger.

From what I've read and seen, no, Sanji is not and will not mutate.
His mother had a drug injected into him during pregnancy to make the children specifically super human from birth. But Sanji's mother took a counteracting drug and Sanji was born without the strength boost. It's stated in the manga that that is why he is treated that way, I'm pretty sure.

Who's the girl Panther Lily's with in the wedding dress pose off?
In the Fairy Tail anime during the Grand Magic Games when Jenny fights Mirajane they decide to do a pose off and girls from all the guilds start posing. When they start posing in wedding dresses panther lily is with some tiny girl who is that? this is in episode 163 of the anime

That is the daughter of Bisca and Alzack, Asuka Conell.

One year after the disappearance of the Team Tenrou, Fairy Tail Mages Alzack Connell and Bisca Mulan married each other and their relationship blossomed, eventually resulting in the birth of Asuka ("A" came from Alzack and "-suka" from Bisuka, the Romaji version of her mother's name).

I couldn't find the image, but I am sure it was Asuka in a wedding dress.

That makes sense this is a link to the picture if you were interested http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/fairytail/images/7/70/Levy_as_a_bride_and_Gajeel_as_a_groom.png/revision/latest?cb=20130105143220

Rope with pieces of white cloth - What is it?
Often when holy places or other things that are spiritual are shown, this kind of rope with white zigzag attachments appears all the time. So far I have seen it in From the New World,

It looks like this:

What is it?
The name of it is probably all I need to find out more, but it is never mentioned.

Why the Survey Corps doesn't find a human body inside each titan?
In Attack on Titan (anime), up till now we are given information that the "dumb" titans that wonder outside the walls are probably humans. Given that both "smart" (Eren/Annie/Yumir/etc) and "dumb" titans share the same weakness this has always been a possibility.
However, its not clear why the Survey Corps never finds the bodies of the humans inside the "dumb" titans? They should at least find the bones of the human. Is this a logical flaw of the series?
BTW: please, no spoilers from the manga, only info available in the anime up to season 2 episode 12.

The answer is a spoiler from the manga.

No. This is not a logical flaw in the series. Unfortunately, that information was only touched on in the last episode of Season 2. You've stated you don't want to hear spoilers about the manga. The anime ended right when the humans suspect regular titans are humans too. The last episode of Season 2 of the anime actually cuts out part of the conversation between Pixis, Hange, Levi, and Erwin where they address this. I assume either they will pick up in season 3 at that same discussion or use a flashback at some point to reveal the rest of what was said there. There's really nothing more I can say without spoilers, because I don't think the anime has given enough information to deduce what's going on at this point.

Why is Galactic Railroad mentioned in an Utena duel song?
In episode 12 of Revolutionary Girl Utena, part of the chorus song for the Tenjou-Touga duel is:

Oh, dance! Your dream, three of the seven wonders of the world,
  carried here on the Galactic Railroad.

Now, I'm assuming that means this Galactic Railroad. I know Utena's dialog, especially the duel chorus songs, are pretty vague and cryptic, but is there some significance/obvious meaning to the reference?
Note: Not really a cross-over, but that's the closest tag I could find for cross-anime references.

I don't think so. Lyrics from Utena duel songs talk about high abstract concepts which do not have a direct significance to the duel they accompany (or any other duel). In my opinion, it is just inicidental.

Can defeated Servants be summoned again?
Let's say Bob for some reason takes part in the 6th holy grail war. He then posseses the weird snake relic from Gilgamesh and attempts to summon him? Does this work? Or does it fail because Gilgamesh was defeated in the last war?

Excluding weird cases like Saber, the answer should be yes - a hero, once defeated, returns to the Throne of Heroes, from where it should be possible to summon them again. I don't know of any instances where this has happened, though.

What real-life artist draws Sagiri's art in the anime?
In Eromanga-sensei, Sagiri draws various pieces of (mostly-lewd) art in her guise as "Eromanga-sensei". For example, this one from episode 12:

Who is the real-life artist who draws the pictures that are portrayed as Sagiri's art in the anime?
There's a very consistent style to all of them, so I'm thinking it's just one person, but it doesn't look like Kanzaki Hiro's work (he's the character designer / artist for the Eromanga-sensei light novel).

self-help tip: try finding a clean screencap of one of these arts and reverse-image-search it :p

This is a "clean" screencap - in-show, Sagiri is streaming her art over "Niyaniya" (fake Niconico) and people are commenting on it. In any case, one can hardly expect reverse-image-searching to be any more useful here than it would be for answering "who animated this scene" or "who drew the backgrounds in this scene".

ok then, you could try applying the multi-shot cleanup technique used to remove tourists from a shot where lots of things are obscuring the object in different spots at different times

Ah, it's Tiv, who tweeted about this here:

アニメ「エロマンガ先生」、紗霧ちゃんのお仕事に協力させていただいてます。これからもしばらくよろしくお願いします！#エロマンガ先生
I'll be helping with Sagiri's work on the anime 'Eromanga-sensei'. [usual Japanese pleasantries] #EromangaSensei

Tiv is probably better known for being the artist for the Masamune-kun no Revenge LNs/manga; the resemblance of that and her other art to Sagiri's art is unmistakable (see e.g. her portfolio website "Planova").

Can there be saiyans in other universes differents to universe 6 and universe 7?
Universe 6 and Universe 7 are twin universes therefore they have the same races, planets, etc. But in Dragon Ball Super episode 96 (spoilers)

 There is a yardrat alien in universe 2, a race of aliens which also exists in universe 7

My question then is, can there be saiyans in other universes different to universe 6 and universe 7?

Yeah, I don't see why not. I think that Toriyama just hasn't planned that far ahead yet. Manipulating multiverse theory is a lot to take into consideration

Surely I guess there will be saiyans in other universes, but it's just that in the storyline no other universe has that powerful saiyan that can compete in this Tournament. It may be that different universes have different histories of these saiyans.

As well, saiyans are generally weak. Goku discovered how to get strong, and those around him (Vegeta and the kids) learned from him the secrets. Every other Sayian in universe 7 was weak, with Bardok and King Vegeta were around 10k and were the strongest around. Even Dodoria at around 22k was far stronger than them, and he was one of the weakest Elites in the Freiza army.

I don't believe so because I remember Wiz-san mentioning that Universe 6 and 7 are parallels that have a lot of similarities, one of which was there being saiyans and having an Earth; albeit the Earth in universe 6 was restored later after having been restored by the super dragon balls. Other universes seem to complement each other in a binary pattern, but I don't believe any more than two universes have commonalities.

But how do you explain there is a Yardrat (an alien race which exists in universe 6) in universe 2 which isnt a parallel universe to universe 6 or 7? Did he migrate or something?

Fastest-updating magazine
Popular manga magazines like Weekly Shōnen Sunday and Weekly Shōnen Magazine update manga weekly. Others like Monthly Shōnen Sunday and Monthly Shōnen Magazine update monthly.
Are there manga magazines or standalone manga that update faster than weekly? If there are, which is the fastest-updating one?

Given that the mangaka actually script, storyboard, and draw the entire chapter in between magazine issues, that would be quite a trick to publish more than weekly, but it might be possible with individual yon-koma strips, more like US newspaper comics.

Is the question limited only to printed magazine or also including paperless (e.g. electronic/online) magazine? Also, the title mention "magazine" but the question included "standalone manga", could you clarify by "standalone manga"?

By standalone, I mean manga that is not published in a magazine. Also, the manga in question isn't limited to print.

Why does Li Xingke bleed for no reason?
Throughout Code Geass R2, Xingke was shown to bleed through his mouth for no apparent reason, especially in a plane or a knightmare. Does he have the same sickness as Itachi in Naruto or what?

P.S. In that picture (when the million Zeros get exiled), he says "Don't be concerned, I just have to last a little longer."

as far as I know, the details of his illness were never described in the anime

Maybe we'll find out in R3

It's been years and there was no announcement of R3. Also, like TheFlow0360 said, his sickness was never explained in detail. It was just he was gravely ill

Get out of that rock of yours. There's a trailer for R3.

In fiction, when people cough up blood that usually means they have tuberculosis. It's a standard way to depict the illness like that.

What about Itachi?

I've not seen Naruto so I can't tell for certain, but chances are that he too has tuberculosis if he coughs up blood.

How do Naruto and Sasuke manage to beat Kaguya so quickly?
So the mother of all chakra is defeated by Naruto and Sasuke. It really doesn't make sense already, but my only problem is with how quickly they do it. Hagaromo stated that it took him and Hamura MONTHS to defeat Kaguya. But about an hour after being released from her seal she's defeated by Naruto and Sasuke? Sure Sakura punched her once at the end, and Kakashi threw in some kamuis here in there, but I still don't think they could have sealed her that quickly.

First off, the Otsutsuki brothers were fighting their mother. They know her well and so does she. Hard counters. Naruto and Sasuke are the new gen and they don't have any sort of emotional bonding with Kaguya. This could be one of the theoretical reasons. Also, can't change what's already happened.

Well you seem to underplay Kakashi's involvement; he had Kamui perfect susanoo. And plus Obito sacrificed his life in the process too.

This fight within the narutoverse is one of the few examples where a team made a huge difference other than a one on one fight . Hagoromo and Hamura took months to defeat kaguya . On the other hand Naruto and Sasuke were with sakura , obito and kakashi ( one of the most revered shinobi in narutoverse). also one of the other major reasons she was defeated was because of the tailed beasts themselves .
Kaguya herself was fighting after thousands of years , She had a massive chakra even greater than madara as sasuke confirms . She was continuously teleporting between dimensions which was consuming huge amounts of chakra from her . Black Zetsu although made a plan of separating them , and did so successfully . Obito successfully bought him back with the help of sakura . Although you say that sakura just threw a punch and there were some kamui's by both kakashi and obito what you forget was how they came at absolutely crucial moments . Obito gave up his life to save both of them from All-killing ash bones of Kaguya .
The major turning point within the battle came when kaguya got hit by the Naruto's Rasenshuriken . Taken From Wikia[Naruto Shippuden]:
 After getting hit by Naruto's tailed beast powered Rasenshuriken, the Ten-
 Tails' chakra within her reacted violently to the chakra of the other
 tailed beasts, transforming her into a rabbit-like chakra monster, which
 according to Black Zetsu was a form she couldn't control.

Now the battle went downhill after this , when hagoromo and hamura fought kaguya there was no concept of the tailed beasts being separate , but during these two thousand years they had spawned from the ten tailed beast and had gained experiences and fought in wars . so when naruto hit her with the rasenshuriken , she was in the unstable state wherein she was being attacked both from outside and inside [ the tailed beasts started resisting there capture] and it was soon after this weakened moment that they were able to seal her . Although she tried to escape , there came in sakura's opportune punch to stop her from this and they successfully sealed her .
Another thing you need to be wary of is the war itself took only within two days .

How many of Naruto Shippuden episodes are dubbed?
I would like to know how many episodes of Naruto Shippuden are dubbed because I've only seen about 388 in all my anime streaming websites?

According to Wikipedia, the number of dubbed episodes from Naruto Shippudden stands at 402 episodes. The last DVD was released on June 27, 2017, which covered episodes 389-402.
The next release of dubbed DVD is on 10th October 2017,  which will cover episodes 403-416.
