Is it possible for Kakashi to obtain an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?
He doesn't have siblings, nor he is an Uchiha, so the answer would be simple, but as we've seen, he reached a high level in the usage of the Sharingan. so, based on our knowledge of how the Mangekyou Sharingan works, could the combination of his and Obito's eye result an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?

I don't understand most answers. every answer states that for EMS one needs eyes of brother, yet every answer states technically he can gain EMS. can everyone be clear as to what they are trying to tell. @krikara answer seems most plausible right now to me.

@krikara I really like your answer. Since the bounty expires soon, I don't want to loose it for nothing, so I think I'll give it to you, but to be honest, none of these answers fulfilled the role of a proper one. I still don't know that Kakashi can achieve an EMS or not. I know that there isn't an exact source to prove pro or con, but I'm totally confused...The main idea is: you get the bounty, but I won't accept any answers, and hopefully, there will come more interesting theory's, until we can agree in one of them. You've convinced me with the "must be an Uchiha" argument. Keep going bro'!.

The answer to your question is yes, Kakashi can obtain Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
But the problem is that his Sharingan consumes a lot of his chakra. At some stages, his overuse of Kamui made him exhausted, too. In this source, it does say that:

"Repeated use of the technique puts a great deal of strain on the
  user, causing his left eye to bleed if overused"

As a result, using Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan could result in a life-threatening situation for him. And as per the previous answer, you need to transplant a Mangekyou Sharingan, preferably from somebody close, such as a sibling.

Is it possible for kakashi to take obito's MS and gain EMS ?? Because, we all know that kakashi doesn't have siblings. if someone pops in also, it would be impossible for him/her to have MS :P , because he is not from the mighty uchiha clan (I love this clan).

Theoritically no since Obito is not his sibling [except the fact that they were disciples of the same teacher i.e. Fourth Hokage].But Kakashi obtained Mangekyou Sharingan after killing Rin[even though they were not related apart from being  disciples of the same teacher i.e. Fourth Hokage ].Therefore from what I can speculate is that there could be a chance of him obtaining EMS with Obito's MS.But still,it's upto the hands of Sir Masashi Kishimoto.

The Mangekyō Sharingan is awakened through the trauma experienced from the death of a person very close to the Sharingan user. Kakashi liked Rin for sure, there's no doubt in that. EMS can be awakened even by transplanting eye of a non-sibling (Though the success rate is less). But, I don't think Kishi will allow Kakashi to have EMS, because already we have enough people to deal with madara.

Sorry forgot to mention the awakening of MS......although i knew about awakening of MS,i didn't specified it in my answer.....but as far as your question is concerned,there could be a 50-50 chance for Kakashi to obtain EMS....

Realistically speaking, Kakashi cannot gain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan (EMS).
Reread this section from Chapter 386

There are multiple reasons why Kakashi cannot gain EMS. First, the exchange must be done between clansmen. Kakashi doesn't fit in this category. Further more, the manga states "simply gaining another's eyes didn't equate to gaining this power". This is implying that you need to gain your brother's eyes as well as a new set of eyes.
One can argue that Kakashi and Obito are like brothers, however Kakashi isn't gaining a new eye if he swaps with Obito.
In the end, it is impossible for Kakashi to achieve EMS.

well, I'm glad that I've putted a bounty on this, since more and more interesting theorys/opinions are coming(for and against)....but my question is, isn't clansmen referring to the fact,that they are in "relationship" BY Sharingan? It is necessary to be an Uchiha?

Yup, it is necessary to be an Uchiha. That's why Kakashi doesn't fit in this category :)

Technically speaking, Kakashi should be able to obtain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. But the chances of this happening are very slim.
To obtain an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, one needs to transplant a Mangekyou Sharingan, preferable from somebody close to them such as a sibling. Just a normal transplant should only restore ones eyes sight with its Visual Prowess.
Yet, Kakashi may also be an exception in this case as he  does not/barely seem to lose any of his eyesight when he is using his Sharingan. This might also be due to the lack of use, and the lack of powerful eye powers besides his Kamui.

Over time, use of the Mangekyō Sharingan's techniques deteriorates the user's eyesight to the point of blindness, a harsh fate for those that have grown accustomed to the power and visual acuity it affords. Only by transplanting the eyes of another Uchiha can they hope to regain their sight and ocular powers. If the transplanted eyes happen to be the Mangekyō Sharingan of an Uchiha with strong blood ties with the recipient — ideally a sibling — the likelihood of compatibility is increased, resulting in the creation of an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan  source

Yes, Kakashi can obtain Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. I would have to disagree with kakashi's answer though. EMS consumes lesser chakra and puts lesser stress on the user casting it. Kakashi has to possess a Mangekyou Sharingan eye, assuming it's compatible to him, since it's not possible to obtain EMS just by implanting another set of MS.
So using EMS would be less life threatening to him than using MS, since, there is no risk of blindness after obtaining EMS.

i do have a question..... even if ur statement is correct,you cannot ignore the fact that he is a non uchiha....... keeping that in mind,I came up with my answer

You mention that Kakashi would need a "pair of Mangekyou Sharingan" before being able to obtain EMS. I was also wondering this, but do you have any evidence to cite for this?

@Kakashi  Okay, If being an Non-Uchiha hinders him to upgrade to EMS , so, according to that logic, he shouldn't have got the MS in the first place. But, he did got the MS in the normal way being a non uchiha(I mean the way uchiha's get their MS ),Hence, i think upgrading to EMS won't defy this logic and should be same for both Uchiha and non-Uchiha's alike.

@SamuelSlade My bad, i mean EMS only in his left eye.

@BoyLittUp just like how Samuel said,I have one more question to raise:-Kakashi's MSis obvious thing so no-doubt about that, but thing which hits on my head constantly is that Kakashi doesn't have Uchiha blood.Since he doesn't have that,we cannot speculate on any conclusion here since his case is an exceptional one.But based on facts obtained in manga and anime,I have to say that Uchiha blood can use sharingan to its fullest.So indirectly it implies that kakashi can't use EMS to the fullest or he would go through eye strain..tat answer is still in oblivious state.. we have to wait for that

@Kakashi agreed there. Kakashi cannot use the EMS to its fullest abilities. However, this doesn't eliminate the possibility of gaining EMS. Since EMS uses less chakra, he may be able to maintain his EMS longer than his present MS. But , yes he cannot use it to his fullest potential. We could take a hint from nagato too, since he was an uzumaki and could use Rinnegan, though not to his fullest extent. Same with kakashi.

Should that be "less chakra" and "less stress" instead of "lesser"? Doesn't "lesser" imply that the chakra and stress are of an inferior nature rather than that less is being consumed?

Since we're stuck, let's sum up what we know:

YES - but: his Sharingan uses too much chakra, therefore he would be fully exhausted/maybe dead using the EMS, or he wouldn't be able to use it at its full power.
NO - because: Kakashi doesn't belong to the Uchiha clan, plus he doesn't have brothers or close ones to him with the same ability; even if he had someone, that someone must possess an MS, but we don't know about other people, except Sasuke.

So we could say that the odds are even, but it just hit me... Do we realize that we are talking about the same eyes??? As much as I would like to see him equipped with an EMS, if he could gain this eye by simply fusing his one with Obito's one, it would be the same as Madara would've fused his own eyes into one (we can argue that he would lose one eye, but the other would be an EMS), so practically every Uchiha member could've possessed an EMS just by fusing their own eyes.
So if we must make a conclusion, even if he isn't an Uchiha, nor he has siblings, therefore he doesn't got a chance to obtain a new set of eyes, I think the best answer and reason why Kakashi CAN'T obtain an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan (but I'm eagerly waiting for "can answers") is because fusing your own eyes wouldn't result in EMS.

I think Kakashi's sharingan is already a mangekyou sharingan since mangekyou sharingan users lose their sight for overusing their mangekyou sharingan but kakashi has been using it for a while. However, he has chakra problems given that he is not from the Uchiha clan.

Kakashi is able to obtain EMS from another MS if obtained. He can't transplant Obitos MS that's stupid each MS eye left, right have there own powers, besides this they are the same exact MS so there won't be any difference.
When someone has MS and wants a EMS needs another MS from another person (Clanmate) to obtain EMS by combining those 2 MS they both combine their forms to make a mix like form for the new EMS.
One thing I'm curious we saw Madara with his brother when he got his eyes they mixed and became a new form,same thing with Sasuke with Itachi eyes.
But I can't understand when Sasuke fought with Itachi, Itachi wanted Sasuke's eyes even though they weren't MS. I thought to obtain EMS you need both users' eyes to be MS with different form to make a new form which would be the EMS, but the way Itachi was going its like transplanting normal Sharingan with a MS to make an EMS if that was so and would work what would the new EMS form would look like?

I'm quite sure, he didn't want to take Sasuke's sharingans...you're misoriented...

When is chapter 738 of the manga coming out?
In the last page of Chapter 737 of One Piece, it's stated that.

The series will take a break next issue. It will start in WJ #13

What does this mean?

which chapter are you refering too as latest?

WJ #13 refers to Weekly Shōnen Jump issue 13. So week 13's shounen jump

@Robin I am talking about 737

It's exactly as it states. The manga is on break in the next issue (the one that comes out the week after chapter 737) (WJ#12). One-Piece will continue the following week (WJ#13), .

Next chapter (738) will be out on February 18th. Scans will probably be up later that day or by early morning of Wednesday the 19th.

What happened to Sham Nyaban?
Somewhere between episode 12 and 14 of One Piece, The Nyaban brothers fight Zoro.
Zoro defeats them by using a sentoryu attack (i cant seem to remember the name) and sends The Nyaban Brothers towards the bottom of a slope. Buchi Nyaban gets hypnotised by Jango, but from that point on, there is no sign of Sham anywhere. Where did his corpse go?

According to the story, both Nyaban brother's attack Zoro and Zoro fights with only one sword. Some time later when Captain Kuro comes to the slope, Nyaban brothers attack Kuro saying that they don't recognize him as their captain anymore. Captain Kuro then wears his cat gloves, scares both of them using Shakushi and orders them to kill Zoro in 5 min otherwise he would kill everyone. They attack Zoro, but Sham does not survive the 'Tiger Hunting Prey'.
But as your question suggests, Sham's body just disappears later in the episode.

Here we can see Zoro attacking both of them.
Sham, as seen falling through Jango's glasses.
Sham not visible, can be behind Zoro's head.
However, we cannot see Sham's body in this pic.

The only explanation I can think of right now is that he slid further down than Buchi (because of really slim body and less weight). Since he was unconscious and seriously injured, some of Caption Kuro's crew members took him someplace else, to provide First Aid or something (a lot of time passes in between image 3 & 4). Sham brothers are their aces, and they wouldn't want losing him.

What you say is very possible, and it's the only answer that helps me out, so I think you may be right

Just a thought, there are no Kuro's crew members in the third pic. Where are they?

Well if you watch further on you will see
Spoiler

 After Zoro swiftly dealt a finishing blow to the two brothers with his regained three swords, Buchi barely survived and was hypnotized by Jango for Super-Human Strength and recovery, to duel against Zoro once again. Zoro quickly defeated Buchi once again.

Both the nyaban brother's attack zoro and fight on par with him. Some time later when Captain Kuro comes to the slope to see why they haven't attacked the village, both of them try to attack Kuro saying that they don't recognize him as their captain anymore as he was away or 3 yrs. After that captain Kuro wears his cat gloves and scaes both of them using shakushi and orders them to kill Zoro in 5 min otherwise he would kill everyone. They attack Zoro, but Sham does not survive the 'Tiger Hunting Prey'.

Captain Kuro does not attack them, just scares them. Then they attack Zoro, but Sham gets gravely wounded, unconscious (if not dead), unable to fight. Buchi survives the attack only because of his fat (Episode 14).

well scares them by using shakushi. i don't remember how kuro responds but they attack kuro that's for sure.

He just uses Shakushi to get behind them and order them to defeat Zoro in 5 min otherwise he would kill everyone, but they don't survive those 5 min.

Is there a difference between Rurouni Kenshin & Samurai X?
I was told there was a difference between Rurouni Kenshin & Samurai X but I've only seen Rurouni Kenshin. Are they really different and if so can you explain how?

No, there's no difference.
From Wikipedia:

In 1999 Sony tried and failed to market the series in the United States as Samurai X via an existing company. The TV series was later licensed in North America by Media Blasters, who split it up into "seasons", and released on DVD.

The Wikipedia article links an Anime News Network article from the same time period, which says:

Similarly, EX Online is reporting that Sony's plans to market Ruroni Kenshin in the US as "Samurai X" by means of an existing company have fallen through. However, since Sony's raid on fansubbers carrying the series, no new plans or partnerships have been announced by anyone. ANN will be asking around about this and come to a conclusion about this one at Project A-kon this year (by process of elimination, we hope), but meanwhile, or contact at Sony has stopped returning our e-mails.

So Samurai X was just the name Sony came up with when it was trying to do a US release of Rurouni Kenshin in 1999. Media Blasters called the series Rurouni Kenshin for its US release, but ADV later reused the Samurai X name when it released the Rurouni Kenshin OVAS and movies:

The English-language versions of the OVAs, as well as the film, were originally released as Samurai X in North America, although the original name was included on the later DVD and Blu-ray Disc releases.

Later on in the same article:

ADV Films released the series on two VHS or DVD sets in 2000 under their Samurai X name in North America, and the film version in 2003.

Sony actually did produce a dub of the series under the name Samurai X:

Sony Pictures Television International created an English-language version of the series, titled Samurai X, that airs outside of the United States.

The Wikipedia article includes links to Animax Asia and Animax Latin America for Samurai X, though the links are down now.

No, there isn't. It called a localisation editing.

Localisation is an essential process in releasing anime outside of Japan. It can cover a range of different processes depending on the individual title and the desired result. At its most basic level, the localisation process is responsible for deciding on romanised character and term names, as well as episode titles

They are different as long as you are talking about Samurai X trust because of the fact that Samurai X is the story before the events of Rurouni Kenshin as Kenshin Himura was Batosai the Manslayer

Did you mean Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal, which is known as Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story – Recollection or Reminiscence Chapter in Japan? Were you probably mixing the localized title with the Japanese title?

What does the "Dark age" mean in Shin Sekai Yori?
I was wondering, in the anime on the 4th episode "Bloody History", they refer to some period of time called the "Dark Age". I was wondering (maybe the people that can read the original Japanese Novel can respond this better) what exactly was meant by the "Dark Age"?
I tried to figure what the Dark age was and while searching for that answer, I approximately transcribed (from the subbed english version) when the False Minoshiro talks about that. In that scene he approximately says:

The turning point for Japan was when "Boy A" committed a series of crimes.
  He realized he could use his PK powers and open the most difficult of
  locks.  “A” broke into the bedrooms of 19 sleeping women, assaulted
  them and eventually killed them. At this point Saki and her friends
  couldn’t comprehend how a human was capable of killing other humans.
  Even after his arrest people continued to use PK to commit crimes. It
  became a weapon for terrorists. It split society into a complex mix of
  opposing political, humanitarian, and ideological factions… ...and the
  world entered an era of war, unlike any known before. Ironically, the
  constant threat to the lives of PK users led to a dramatic evolution
  of their abilities. Meanwhile, the human population plummeted
  worldwide, until it was less than 2% of what it it’d been at its
  height. These events serve as an overview of the Dark Ages that lasted
  five centuries.

From that, I concluded that around 2011 A.D. society was something very similar to what we have now (with cars, iPhones, airplanes and normal technology). Then people with PK caused a war and for that reason, human population suffered a terrible decrease to 2%. Then this era lead to a war and then to an era where northeastern Asia divided itself into four distinct and irreconcilable units:

1st, Slave Dynasties, Where PK users controlled those without PK capabilities.
2nd, non-PK users who escaped the Dynasties and lived as hunter-gatherers.
3rd, Bandits who used PK to attack other settlements.
4th, a group of those who managed to preserve some remnants of the technological age.

Then we have the present time where Saki and the others live.
My question is, which time period does the "Dark Age" correspond to?
Is the following time scale correct?

Or is the Dark age before the dynasties/division of asia age? Also, what is known about the dark age?

I think the dark ages was everything from modern day to saki's era.

My question is, which time period does the "Dark Age" correspond to?
Is the following time scale correct?

Your timeline is correct. The Dark Ages correspond to the period following the PK wars during which the slave dynasties held power (in northeastern Asia, anyway). In more detail:

Ismailov conducts his experiments in 2011, leading to the creation of the first psychokinetiker.
Psychokinetikers and ordinary people coexist peacefully, if uneasily, for a short time - perhaps a year or so? The exact duration isn't made explicit.
Boy A and people like him start using PK to commit severe crimes, prompting the formation of powerful anti-PK movements worldwide. In response, PK users band together. Some of the groups of psychokinetikers become heavily radicalized and commit acts of terrorism.
The PK wars begin. The war effort is particularly effective in the US, which almost manages to wipe out all the psychokinetikers within its borders (PK users decline from 0.3% of the population to a mere 0.0004% of the population - a few thousand people at most).
Faced with this grave threat to their existence, the few remaining PK users develop tremendously strong PK in a short period of time. Using their newfound strength, the psychokinetikers topple every standing government on the planet.

The collapse of all governmental structure marked the beginning of the Dark Ages, so named because - like the "original" Dark Ages that followed the collapse of the Roman Empire - little was known about it. The "new" Dark Ages lasted roughly 500 years. During this time, global communication networks collapsed, and so little was known about what was going on elsewhere in the world. The slave dynasties rose and fell, eventually leading to the rise of Saki's society.

Also, what is known about the dark age?

Unfortunately, there isn't much known, what with it being a Dark Age, and all. In the novel, the false minoshiro does go into more detail about the four groups (and I can update this answer to include that information if you'd like).
That said, our knowledge of the Dark Ages begins and ends with the false minoshiro. The Dark Ages were hundreds of years out of living memory by Saki's time (even for telomere-manipulators like Tomiko), and it seems that all record-keeping was effectively delegated to the libraries - that is, the false minoshiros. It seems very likely that if you were to ask the people of Kamisu 66 about the Dark Ages, they would know virtually nothing about it - perhaps not even that the Dark Ages happened at all.

Do they explain in detail at all at some point how Saki's societies came to existence from the Dark age? I don't think they say how it came about in the anime...

@Pinocchio Well... sort of. The novel has a little bit more detail than what you learn in episode 4, but not much more. If you'd like, post another question asking about that and I'll see what I can dig up.

sure! I'lll do that I have provided a like to the question here: http://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/9588/how-did-the-society-where-the-the-story-of-shin-sekai-yori-come-to-be

Something I would note, some of the initial PKers were also just literally going crazy from having their perceptions unlocked and opened. Imagine no filters, and suddenly your aware of every other human beings thoughts and can hear radio frequencies in your head, I believe they were literally just snapping and lacked any sort of control until the time they learned to come up with self imposed limitations and control elements for raising children to be to live with abilities that can alter reality without causing as much problems.

Why do people in Shin Sekai Yori die if they kill other humans?
Why do people in Shin Sekai Yori die if they kill other humans?
I remember that during the anime they go through some ritual, but why does that ritual work? What is that ritual exactly? Is it something religious or is it just portrayed religiously but has scientific reasons it works? Do they psychologically affect the subconscious of humans? Is it a religious "magic" that does the trick? What gets triggered in the human brain after when people try to kill other humans? By what mechanism do they die?
Why is the ritual needed?
Also, what was the name of this thing? Was it death of shame? Why is that the name?
NOTE: I have watched (not recently) the whole show, so no risk of spoilers. Sorry the story is not very fresh on my mind.

This is all spoilers if you haven't seen the entire show.
The Death Feedback is part genetic and part conditioned. From episode 4, they mention that the human genome was modified and that the Death Feedback works by the subconscious becoming aware of an attempt to harm another human and it uses their power to stop liver functions and parathyroid glands. This is further reinforced by education, conditioning and hypnosis. I think in episode 12 Tomiko speculates that it could be possible to circumvent the Death Feedback if the user was on some kind of stimulants or somehow didn't recognize their targets as human.
(Taken from part of my answer to this question which is also related.

Interesting, then why is the ritual needed? Is it part of the hypnosis? Like, if a human is born and the ritual is not done to them, will the genetic modifications still kill them if they try to kill someone?

I'm not sure why exactly the rituals are needed, but it's part genetic and part conditioning. The rituals and hypnosis could be part of the conditioning. It's also a way for them to "weed out" people who could become fiends.

The rituals performed on the children when they first gain Cantus powers do not have to do with death feedback - the rituals put in place a safeguard which allows some members of the community to effectively turn on and off the children's powers - this is what happens during the camping trip when they are discovered by the priest.
Death Feedback is a physical genetic safeguard bred into humans, and members of the community are conditioned from a young age to view killing another human as abhorrent. It isn't a part of the coming-of-age ritual the children go through before attending school.

AFAIK, this answer is accurate - I don't recall the coming-of-age sealing ritual having anything to do with death feedback. Not sure why it's downvoted.

@senshin Maybe because there are no sources cited? Still a good answer though

How did Kuroko's vanishing drive affect Momoi?
According to this wiki page:

If the vanishing drive based on pushing the opponents to focus attention to someone else and then steps in unexpectedly.

And also:

Kuroko uses his misdirection in function of his teammates. He must make eye-contact with the passer while doing his misdirection and so the eyefield of the other players becomes a "mirror" for Kuroko's position.

How is it that Momoi was affected by it when Kuroko showed to her for the first time, when no other player was around?

In the question only you said- Kuroko was showing her misdirection. So shouldn't it affect her?

@Sp0T looks like it did, notice that she thought that he actually disappeared...

IMO normally one person can keep his attention towards an object for short time period. when kuroko was showing misdirection to momoi he must have used this to his advantage. when momoi's eyes moved away from kuroko slightly he got in the blank zone making himself invisible. although i don't exactly remember which chapter it was.

@Sp0T You can see that I edited the question and as it showed, He didn't took any "extra" advantage... And it was on chapter 2 btw.

Now that you say it was chapter 2, I think the author would have thought about the eye contact thing later as series progressed (he ain't odachi to plan 10 yrs in advance ;-) ). But I still think momoi was distracted for a bit & kuroko took advantage of it. There might be something else though.

To answer your question, this is a rather a technique based off of misdirection called Vanishing Drive.

Kuroko developed this after being soundly defeated by Daiki Aomine. As said on the wikia Kuroko trains himself to evolve his play style. Given the absolute presence and importance of the ball in play, it had been previously thought impossible for Kuroko to maintain his misdirection while in possession of the ball; as such the time he spends handling the ball on court is extremely minimal.

However

He has overcome this previous limitation, and has developed the ability to imperceptibly move past players while dribbling the ball, creating his own 'vanishing' drive. The ability is effective enough to pass through the defenses of Shintarō Midorima, a member of the Generation of Miracles, and can also pass Takao's Hawk's Eye

Vanishing drive does not follow the simple rules of misdirection exactly, but rather does this:

The skill is basically a cross-diagonal move (a duck-in) to where the opponent's eye field can't see. Kuroko bends over in a specific angle at drives following a specific route, that the opponent has it very difficult to follow. But the real Vanishing Drive is a collaboration with Kagami. Similar to Kuroko's misdirection, Kagami draws the attention of the opponent to him, just for a second, and that makes it possible for Kuroko to pass his opponent successfully.

This would also explain why Momoi was affected due to the fact it heavily rely's on where you opponent can't see which was why she was affected.
Bibliography for reference to information:

http://kurokonobasuke.wikia.com/wiki/Tetsuya_Kuroko
http://kurokonobasuke.wikia.com/wiki/Tetsuya_Kuroko#Vanishing_Drive

The relevant information that I have in my answer can be found by heading to the hyperlink here or above and going to abilities.

Remember to provide a link to any source from which you've copied text.

The way the vanishing drive works is that he diverts their attention for a split second, and is then past them by the time they realise what he's done. Against skilled players in a proper game, he needs something with a huge presence, such as Kagami or Aomine to make them forget about him, and that's the real trick, distracting someone when they're completely focused on you.
However Momoi is not a competitive basketball player and they were not playing in an actual game, so my best guess is that he was able to use something with far less presence than he would normally need, like a street lamp or a car or whatever was nearby.

When Kuroko went up against Midorima, with the intention of doing the vanishing drive, it shows what Midorima is looking at in his glasses. Before he finished perfecting the drive, Kuroko used the thing which has the most presence in the entire game, the ball. He slowly lowers the ball into a dribble, and as soon as Midorima's attention is completely on the ball, Kuroko ducks in at a very difficult angle to follow. The reason it works even against Midorima is that Kuroko can do it almost instantly after Midorima's attention is on the ball. Kuroko later perfects it with the addition of adding Kagami in.

How do the women of Amazon Lily reproduce?
I just got to the part where Luffy arrived to Amazon Lily.
I started wondering, how do the women multiply in Amazon Lily as there are no men?
There were kids, so they must've some method.

Maybe you could explain?

The Amazons (women who could fight like men) are warrior race from Greek mythology.
In One Piece, the Amazons are depicted as they are in the myth so they must be following the same methodologies to reproduce.
Here are some of the accepted ways of their reproduction.

Amazons met with men from nearby societies and chose suitable partners, would take them into the darkness of the forest and couple with. If they gave birth to a male, they were said to kill, blind or cripple the infant. If they kept them alive, they would then use them when they grew into young men (if they were suitable) as a supply of male seed. They also took men prisoners in battle. After choosing the most handsome, they then used them for their sexual pleasure, and would either kill them or use them as slaves once their usefulness had been expended.
Amazons reproduce by going into a nearby village and seducing the males one night every few months. If they had male babies they would send them downriver to the men and keep the females.

Hope this helps.

Did you intend to make this post community wiki? We don't typically use CW very much unless there's some special reason to do so, and I can't see any reason in this case.

that was by mistake, I tried to fix it later but you already did. So thanks!

If you're going to copy content from another source, PLEASE cite that source in your answer.

my bad, from next time I'll add the source as well. Thanks!!

Where did this information come from?

Some of the resident leave Amazon Lily and sometimes, they come back pregnant.

They didn't bring their husband, because it's forbidden for men to enter Amazon Lily, but they still keep the baby and raise them inside the island. However, they always give birth to females. There's still no answer, but from a question about why all Kuja tribe born as a woman?  and also from the picture above, it just happens mysteriously.

This is just my hunch, but it's said in anime that if anyone from Amazon Lily fell in love with a man, they have to leave the island. So it might have been the case that some women fell in love with men, had kids and then they brought their daughters with them to the island and left their husbands. Or it might also be possible that many women were adopted or allowed to live on the island by the Kuja Pirates.
You can see Nyan-ba staying on the island even though she fell in love with a man and was forced to leave the island before. Also it's explained that she brought Hancock and her sisters with her to the island.
This is just a hunch but I am satisfied with this. Hope you also agree.

the Founding Titan to influence Dina (as a pure titan) away from eating Bertolt.

This is enabled by Eren's ability to

perceive the past, the future, and the present simultaneously, and use the founder Ymir's power while in the Paths.

I'm confused as to the limits of this ability, given that there are SO many different things that he could have done to more effectively resolve the situation and achieve his goals. For instance, couldn't he have just

directed ALL of the pure titans away from Shiganshina District altogether? Or have stripped Reiner, Bertolt, and Annie of their shifting abilities just before they attacked in the first place? Or even started the rumbling then and there

if that was truly his end goal at this point in the story?
I'm curious if there is some sort of supported explanation that would prevent him from doing so. The fact that he was able to

influence Dina at all (and was thus able to influence events from his current position in non-linear time)

makes me wonder what he was capable of, and I'm not sure if there is a character motivation that would prevent him from doing any of the above as an alternative to what we see happen, if he was able to. He could have

saved his entire family, all of his friends, and still destroyed the entire outside world

just like he wanted when he

first started the rumbling.

The way that

time

works in the series is a little messy, what with the

retrocausality paradox

that allows Eren to

cause a lot of the events of the story

using abilities he gains through...

causing a lot of the events of the story.

Even so, assuming there is only supposed to be one

immutable timeline

I feel like it still makes more sense for it to have just diverted very early on with Eren using the

founder abilities

before the story even begins. How this would be explained... I don't know. All of the events of the story need to have to have happened already for Eren to get to this point, but if

getting to this point is what caused the events of the story to happen (saving Bertolt by influencing Dina, influencing his father to steal the Founding Titan and transfer the Attack Titan in the first place, etc.)

then that seems to enable some hand-waving anyway. Is this just a bit of a plot hole to me, or am I just fundamentally misunderstanding how

time and/or titan powers

work in the setting?

Sincerely, from my heart, i was about to write a 7 page paragraph debunking everything, but then i realised that i read some of the things wrong and i , too, have no idea how he used some of his powers that do not require royal blood and didn't use them to influence, idk, Ymir from letting out the pigs. And i have ,too, no idea how he influenced Dina to eat Carla...
But, the answer to your question, he doesn't have royal blood, he can't use any of the Founder's powers.
I know that when he looked in the past with Zeke, he saw Grisha looking in the future thru Eren's eyes and thus he took advantage of the situation and influenced Grisha to steal the Founder. But the  rest.. The rest makes no absolute sense

How and why did Naruto's parents rise from the dead in a war?
If Naruto's parents (Minato and Kushina) were killed when Kurama attacked the Leaf Village when he was born, how and why did his parents rise from the dead (alive again) in the war with different generations of Hokages?

Minato was resurrected with the edo-tensei by orochimaru.
His mother never appeared during the war arc. He only saw her in his mind when he went to tame the nine tails.

Why Nanatsu no Taizai members didnt recognize each other at first in season #1?
I'm rewatching Nanatsu no Taizai, and many of the members (Meliodas, Ban, King, Gowther, Diane, Escanor) didn’t recognize each other at first, or they weren’t sure about the others really being who they were. Some examples,

Ban after re-meeting King: And you, who you are?

Diane after meeting Meliodas: Are you a holy knight?

Escanor after meeting Ban: haven’t I seen you before?

Gowther after meeting Meliodas and Ban: yes, I really am Gowther.
Those traits, that posture, that scar, as I thought, you are undead
Ban. That means the young guy whose appearance is similar to Meliodas
is..
Meliodas: that's right, I'm Meliodas.
Gowther: what a surprise.
Ban: and what do you think of him. I bet you'll be surprised more he's
King.
Gowther: No, he is another person

Why did this happen? Supposedly people like Meliodas and Ban didn’t change their appearances and they only separated 10 years ago.

For Meliodas and Ban, I am pretty sure they did recognize each other. It's just the surprise they get after 10 years.
For King and Ban, King did recognize Ban, and Ban to King. King's hate of Ban for Elaine's death was the reason why he acted like that. Ban just doesn't care.
For Gowther, the others have not really seen him in the flesh before that moment, he has only seen King in his old fart form, and he did recognize Ban and Meliodas.
Do point out any episodes that prove otherwise. It can help move the discussion going.

Ban after re-meeting King: And you, who you are? Diane after meeting Meliodas: Are you a holy knight? Escanor after meeting Ban: havent I seen you before? Gowther after meeting Meliodas and Ban: yes, I really am Gowther. Gowther after meeting Ban:those traits, that posture, that scar, as I thought, you are undead Ban. That means the young guy whose appearance is similar to Meliodas is.. Meliodas: that's right, I'm Meliodas. Gowther: what a surprise. Ban: and what do you think of him. I bet you'll be surprised more he's King. Gowther: No, he is another person

@Pablo with the exception of Ban, which all of them knew his features probably would not change save for hair, The others don't really expect each other to not change appearance.-
Meliodas: reason being that they did not know he was a demon and practically immortal..-
King: probably the child appearance, remember that King used his big form before the parting ways...-
Escanor to Meliodas: Age..-
Diane to Meliodas: Same as how I explained..-
Gowther to King: Like explained, King changed his appearance after the parting ways.-

I take that your explanations about King and Gowther are probably correct, that's why I +1 you, the other ones sounds like guessing with no real evidence in the anime series, unless you tell me the manga says something more

@SophomoreNumberN though you didn't explain why Diane didn't recognize Meliodas. Neither of them is subject to aging (at least in 10 year interval), they were the original Sins (she was the first one Meliodas met, with the exception of Merlin) and she also had like a huge crush on him. So how could she confuse him for holy knight?

How intelligent are elemental clones?
While Shadow Clones replicate the user's body completely and are thus just as smart (or moronic) as the user, other clones based on elements are simply models constructed out of a particular material animated by chakra.
In the early stages of the story, Zabuza delegates fighting Naruto and Sasuke to a Water Clone. Is there any indication whether it was acting independently, or just executing simple commands from Zabuza himself? Are there examples of other elemental clones functioning without the original present?

Not sure if it's a duplicate or not, but this is really closely related: How is the Shadow Clone technique different from other cloning techniques?

Water clones and other elemental clones are only given the intelligence that the user provides, this is proven when Zabuza gives his own clones orders. The clones act not as their own will but controlled like puppets. This could be googled but I don't trust sources such as those.
Sources: Shadow clone Jitsu and other clone technuiqes

it works as if a person is projecting himself/herself. The clones created work like replicas. Its like the person itself but when they are hit fataly instead of dying the clones disappear. Notice when Kakashi saves Azuma and Kurenai from Itachi when Itachi returns to the leaf village to abduct Naruto, Kakashi and a clone of himself appeared each behind Azuma and Kurenai. Clones are the same person with the same capabilities (when given equal chakra) and intellect the only thing is they have the physical limits of being a clone.

Please include relevant sources/references to support your answer.

Is there a difference between Clones and Shadow Clones?
In the first episode, Naruto failed the Graduation Test because he couldn't create a proper clone. Mizuki falsely tells Naruto that if he learns a Jutsu from the Forbidden Scroll, he can graduate. As such, Naruto studies, and successfully performs the Shadow Clone Jutsu, with Iruka commenting how Naruto was able to master an advance Jutsu with so many clones.
But what makes the Shadow Clone Jutsu more advanced than the Clone Jutsu that Naruto failed at?

Long story short clones does not have any chakra release and cant attack someone whereas shadow clones have chakra release and can attack.Thats why it is easy for Byakugan to distinguish between clones but hard between shadow clones.

Why couldn't Eren Yeager transform into a Titan in the last episode of season 2?
In the last episode of season 2, named "Scream", Eren Yeager was unable to transform into a Titan to save Hannes from the Smiling Titan.
Why couldn't he transform?
I don't really read the manga, although I do look at it from time to time.
Has there already been an explanation for this in the manga?

from what I remembered he was too tired from previous transformations and cloud not do it until properly rested.

According to the Power of the Titans wiki (disclamer, this page contains heavy spoilers from the manga), the ability to transform into a titan may be hindered if an injury occurred after a recent transformation.

The ability to transform into a Titan can be hindered by injuries inflicted on the human body. A human can transform into a Titan with injuries as severe as a missing limb, but only if a previous transformation has not occurred recently. If a human emerges from their Titan form and receives severe injury, this person cannot transform into a Titan again until said injuries have healed

In the episodes leading up to this event

 We see Eren face off with the Armored Titan, but ends up being captured along with Ymir. They soon awaken with their arms severed off to prevent from the escaping.

and in S2, E9

 Reiner informs the two that neither of them could transform into Titans in the first place while still recovering from their injuries

When Eren attempted to transform in the final episode, his body was still recovering from this injury inflicted on him.

Eren was still recovering from his previous fight, therefore all of his energy was still going into his regeneration.

Welcome to [anime.se], a Q&A site related to anime & manga! While your answer might be correct, it'd be better if it could be backed up with official sources/references, like from which episode/chapter this is mentioned. You can always [edit] your post to improve it. Meanwhile, consider taking a quick [tour] to understand how this site works.

Well there is an upper limit to how much time and energy you can spend in the transformation. And not to mention his exhaustion from the previous fights.

Could you provide source/references to back up this answer?

@AkiTanaka yeah in anime, when Bertholdt and Reiner are running away, I think Reiner mentions that. It is also referenced in the Clash of the Titan arc (the fight on the wall, where Bertholdt has an incomplete transformation due to exhaustion).

Why Tomoki is the only one who does not forget Hiyori?
In the movie as well as the manga, when Hiyori disappears everyone forgets about her. But Tomoki still remembers about her. He gets a headache, but he still remembers her. And then everyone else starts to remember Hiyori too.
How does that work?

I'm pretty sure this is just another one of those cases where everyone was supposed to forget a certain character (Hiyori), but because someone (Tomoki) cared for them so much they were not fully affected.
The headaches are because he is not supposed to remember, but he remembers something. And because he remembers, everyone else does too.
So simply said he didn't forget because he cared too much.
(Which makes it sound as though everyone else didn't care enough, but that's simply how these things work. The main character has to be the special chosen one.)

First thing similar I can think of would be Time Stranger Kyoko.

Kyoko is erased from everyone's memories and it is like she never existed. But after her bodyguard and lover finds a photograph of her he remembers and gets everyone else to remember her too.

Please also refer to TV Tropes - Ret Gone and Un-Person.

Huh? I thought it's because Tomoki is somehow special, after all he always got that weird dream and on recent chapter on manga it seems like he is the only one that doesn't disappear. But I don't know what exactly happen here

Where can I buy Anime/Manga based Jigsaw Puzzles?
I have started doing jigsaw puzzles with a friend and we were hoping to find one for FLCL but I was not able to find any (on American online stores at least). My Google-fu is pretty terrible though. So are there any American or Japanese (or other) stores that sell Anime based Puzzles? I am specifically looking for FLCL as I said but I was barely able to find any at all so anything would be appreciated. Or is my search futile and Puzzles are just an uncommon piece of Anime merchandise?

That depends... what kind of "Puzzles" are you looking for?

Uhm, Physical Jigsaw puzzles. 1000-2000 pieces. I couldn't remember the name.

There are indeed close to 0 jigsaw puzzles for FLCL available.
I did find a digital one
http://www.jigidi.com/solve.php?id=WHBI5J3Y
and there might be some other digital on this site. But i did not directly find it.
http://www.onlinejigsawpuzzles.net/anime.htm
As for your other jigsaw puzzle needs you should checkout one of the following sites. They offer the broadest variety of anime jigsaws. The might not have FLCL but do have loads of others.
http://shop.animepagoda.com/Jigsaw-Puzzles
http://jzool.com/en/c/444-anime-jigsaw-puzzles#
and might also run into a FLCL one on here, but that is mainly based on luck. They do usually offer a variety of other anime related jigsaw puzzles though.
http://www.ebay.com/bhp/anime-puzzle
http://www.amazon.com/s?rh=n%3A166363011%2Cp_n_feature_browse-bin%3A3233064011

I guess this is just an unfortunate truth. Thanks.

Imaginatorium shop have some anime jigsaw puzzles (Naruto, One Piece, Ghibli...)
http://imaginatorium.org/shop/shop.htm

There are many websites that allow you to create your own jigsaws, like JigScenes.com , CreateJigsawPuzzles.com or Jessops.com (This last one supports 1000 piece jigsaws)
If you have anime/manga artwork you could use this service to create your own - Although this way, the people who made the work won't see any of the money from the purchase.
You'd also want to make sure you'd have the rights to making something like that, so this is a better solution for fan works and similar which may have more lenient licensing.

I found a shop in Akibahara that sells anime themed jigsaw puzzles - Yodobashi.

They have an online store which returns around 370 results for 'jigsaw puzzle'.
FLCL is a good 15 years old now, so it's unlikely that there are any currently instock jigsaws for the series - Japanese anime stores only tend to cover the most popular old series (Ghibli, Evangellion, Kon) and current season shows.
Your best bet is to probably monitor auction sites such as Yahoo and Ebay.

If Akira Kuno can interact with others through his proxy Anno Un, then why didnt he use it to talk with his mother?
I'm not sure if I understood this at all. Anno Un is an avatar of Akira Kuno that allows him to interact with others. Then, why didnt he use to talk with his mother, which, not being able to talk and interact with her, was the reason of all the trauma of his life?

In episode 23 of the anime ("A Story I Won't See Coming"), during Akira Kuno's flashback, he creates the pen name "Anno Un" in order to submit his manga and finds out he is able to communicate to others through a loophole in the rules. As long as it is done through his proxy he can draw manga for others! The manga he created even reaches his mother, who is in the hospital at the time.
In episode 24 ("To You, From Me") during Akira's flashback, he also reveals that he is able to manifest his drawings. This is shown when he first draws a toy car. Eventually he comes up with a design for Anno Un and brings him into reality. He realizes this is the way he can also speak to his mother, but alas:

"And in the end... I couldn't get the message to mom."

This is because

 his mom sadly passed away around the same time.

I hope this helps answer your question!

Is Black Clover Mahou Tei no Ken canon?
If I read correctly, Black Clover Mahou Tei no Ken was produced by Netflix, while the anime series was produced by japanese company Pierrot. Does this mean it's a sort of adaptation loosely based on the manga, or is it canon and part of the Black Clover manga/anime continuity?

Black Clover Mahou Tei no Ken isn't canon, but an OVA, since its events weren't adapted from manga.

Can someone explain why Garou made Saitama do this in chapter 168 of the manga?
Ok, so in chapter 168 of One Punch Man manga

 Garou asks Saitama to copy a technique he envisioned and he can't master, so Saitama can travel back in time. Why did he do this? Was for Saitama to save Tareo? Didnt Garou have the powers of God by then, which would make Tareo die from radiation anyways? or was there another reason for him to ask Garou to do that?

why did Garou ask Saitama to do that in chapter 168 of the One Punch Man manga?

 It's fairly clear at this point that his cosmic radiation has killed everyone other than himself, Saitama, and Blast and co. (though possibly launching them off to Io had other effects on Blast, as we don't see him standing around). Child Emperor's hair fell out within moments, which is much faster than would happen with a minimal lethal radiation dose.  There are a bunch of dead fish washing up on the shore, and water is normally an excellent shield against radiation.  So we can pretty safely conclude that Tareo is, in fact, dead.  Garou panics and mourns because he had envisioned Tareo as the first of the people he saves through his "absolute evil" plan. But instead he has killed him. So he has Saitama time-travel back before he had irradiated everyone to death to stop this.

 You're right that he should have already been emitting at least some radiation.  He was further away shortly before this, and as radiation power follows an inverse square law with distance that could be sufficient protection.  Though given that people were having ruptured blood vessels in their nose before this just from the initial exchange with Saitama, it's not entirely clear that people haven't already had a lethal radiation dose, or at least a dose substantial enough to risk major health problems.  Still, dramatically speaking, it seems the intent is that he arrives just early enough to save everyone from death. Presumably the tech of Child Emperor etc. would be enough to deal with the remaining damage, but only future chapters will resolve that. (EDIT: Indeed, Metal Knight has since shown up and strongly implied he could treat the radiation effects) It's pretty consistent with other Saitama feats—such as destroying the meteor—that he prevent deaths but not necessarily lesser damages.

Did Tomura Shigaraki become stronger than All Might before he lost One for All?
According to the last version of the official stats Tomura's power jumped from 2/5 to 6/6 S+ . I think this was when

 he awakened the full power of his decay, which made him able to decay a whole city .

but after that on top of that,

 he received All for One which a bunch of quirks attained already, like super regeneration, air cannon and black tendrils

So, with all these new powers attained, did he even surpass All Might former power? Did the last stats took in consideration these last powers he got in the manga or were they made before these events?

Shig has been worked on time and time again by that dr according to the flashbacks and how the last season ended

Yes. But is complicated.
If you are asking this i guess you are up to date, (If not you shouldnt be asking this).
So Izuku and the others managed to barely subdue him for a moment and they were all going with everything they had.
Now, Izuku still couldnt fully use his 100% without hurting himself too fast and Shigaraki "improvement" was imperfect. Besides Izuku had Eraserhead and the others giving him back up.
The question is how powerful is corrently AFO.
Based on how hurt was Sensei, he probably couldnt use fully his Quirk during his last fight against All Might, but one would assume he has stolen some new Quirks in his years of recovery, add to that Decay, and a perfected Shigaraki should be able to easily kill All Might in his prime.

Has super saiyan kaioken ever been animated in Dragon Ball Heroes?
The Dragon Ball Heroes wikia claims Xeno Vegito can use the super saiyan kaioken technique and there is this picture of it, which I dont know where it comes from.

Super Saiyan Kaioken Dragon Ball wikia
Does it come from a card, or has super saiyan kaioken ever been animated in Dragon Ball Heroes?

The link in the Wikia article is to the Dragon Ball Heroes video game, not to the manga or anime.

@F1Krazy As far as I know, there are 3 animated segments of Dragon Ball Heroes. 1- The mini series 2- The "special/(s)" and 3- The videogame which makes animated scenes. May be you mean the japanese animation of the videogame is not "anime", but it's part of the "videogame universe". If that would be the case, I dont think what we see in the animated segments of the videogame are unrelated to the mini series completely, after all if I recall correctly, we've seen Broly being animated first in the videogame and now it's in the mini series. It seems like a kind of source material

Dragon Ball Heroes is an independent series with its own story arcs as well as original characters. It also uses both the plot and characters from both Dragon Ball Super and GT to fuel its storyline, but it does not affect either of the series. So therefor, no. This is proven at this Link.

Why Yuji can hurt Mahito but Kento can't?
When facing Mahito Kento who is a 1st grade professional sorcerer tells Yuji he can't hurt Mahito, but Yuji who is a first year student can. Why is this so? Is it because Yuji has Sukuna inside, or is it because he has something special that makes him able among other things retain Sukuna inside and hurt a close to impossible to hurt cursed spirit?

Aditya Sahu is right: this is explained by Mahito himself in Episode 10 Idle Transfiguration (Japanese: 無為転変; Transcription: "Mui Tenpen") and Episode 12 To You, Someday (Japanese: いつかの君へ; Transcription: "Itsuka no Kimi e").
In episode 10, when Mahito is fighting Nanami, he explains that the soul exists before the body, and that the shape of the body is determined by the shape of the soul. Thus, after his body is damaged by Nanami's attack, he is able to restore it just by strongly maintaining the shape of his soul, rather than using cursed energy to heal. Later, Mahito goes on to explain that while jujutsu sorcerers protect their bodies with cursed energy, they do not protect their souls, because at minimum one needs to be aware of one's own soul in order to protect it with cursed energy. Thus, jujutsu sorcerers are vulnerable to Mahito's idle transfiguration attack.
In episode 12, when Yuuji lands a solid punch on Mahito's laughing face, causing the latter to bleed from his nose, Mahito is initially shocked that Yuuji managed to strike the shape of Mahito's soul. Then, he deduces that this is because Yuuji is acting as a vessel for Ryomen Sukuna—he is constantly housing in his body a soul other than his own—so he is strongly aware of the outline of his own soul.
It is clear from the context of the information given in these episodes that a jujutsu sorcerer will be able to strike and damage the shape of Mahito's soul if and only if they are aware of the shape of their own soul. This is why Yuuji is able to deal damage to Mahito, whereas Nanami is unable to do.

mahito explains that himself. it is because itadori is a vessel and can contain soul and can reach souls of someone else's too and also he says that itadori is has more understanding of soul and connection than anyone else

If there are thousands of ninjas in Konoha, why was Tsunade always short of ninjas for the missions in the anime?
While watching Naruto, I had this same question,
How were there 80,000 ninjas in the Shinobi World War in Naruto?
And one of the conclusions I came up with was also the conclusion of the accepted answer:

As you can see, the village is quite large. I can estimate a
population of over 100,000 easily. Since many of them are shinobi, I
don't think it's exaggerated to think that there are at least 12,000
shinobi there (probably more).

(I think the wikia stated somewhere that it has around 80,000 persons, so I thought may be the thousands of ninjas actually came from there)
But that doesnt explain very well why was Tsunade always short of ninjas for the missions. How is this explained? Is there an elite of ninjas that can only be chosen for missions, are the rest of ninjas from the land of fire in the 4th shinobi war actually coming from other villages in the land of fire or what?
If there are thousands of ninjas in Konoha, why was Tsunade always short of ninjas for the missions in the anime?

Not really a full fledge answer, so posting as comment: I highly doubt there are 80,000 ninjas in Konoha. Perhaps the wiki meant 80,000 residents, as there are many villagers who are not apart of Konoha's military. Perhaps on a regular basis, Konoha has only a handful of active shinobi and the spike of numbers were through some required military draft

@Wondercricket sorry I meant persons and I wrote ninjas. Edited.

Also, supposing Naruto belonged to an elite class of ninjas both when graduated and in the academy (the ninjas chosen for the missions are always the ones Naruto had as classmates in the academy) , why was he always portrayed as a loser? Doesnt this rule out that possibility, leaving only other options such as most ninjas in the 4th shinobi war came from other villages? Also, if there were around 16,000 ninjas in Konoha, shouldnt they have been able to counter Pain? Otherwise which use did they have against 5 pains, 5 kages , several other top ninjas and the 100,000 white zetsus?

There are several points to answering your question.

There is a special division of Ninja called Black Ops, which is used for keeping village safe by reconnaissance, guarding the village, and hunting the rogue ninja, in the great ninja war, all the great nations were allied, so there was less need for these ninjas to do that, and some of them participated in the war.
Like Black Ops there are several more divisions like Intelligence division and Interrogation Divisions and more, which usually work on their respective missions, and not usual missions which we see in the series.
Missions are assigned a rank based on the level of difficulty, so if a mission is S rank, it can't be assigned to a Genin, and if a mission is D rank, there's no point assigning it to a Jonin.
And there is also a part, when Tsunadae usually says this, village is trouble, like when she was appointed the Hokage, Hidden Leaf Village was recovering from Orochimaru's attack where several ninja had been killed, in most of the Shippuden several Ninja were assigned to safeguard Naruto and in the Pain Arc, village was to rebuilt, so effort was to be distributed there as well.

There were 80,000 soldiers in the Fourth Great Ninja War. By soldiers I mean there were Samurai as well not only Shinobi, of all ranks and divisions. Following were the key villages who participated in the war, and any of the small villages which were allied to any of these villages:

Hidden Leaf Village
Hidden Mist Village
Hidden Sand Village
Hidden Stone Village
Hidden Cloud Village
Land of Iron

I'm not exactly sure but I think that some of the missions that Tsunade assigns are like B, A or S rank missions, and most of the ninja aren't very competent, furthermore, about 75% of the Village Hidden In The Leaves are civilians. Another possibility is that most of the teams are out on other missions.

Why did Naruto decide not to use the Rasenshuriken due to the harm it did to his arm, if he could create it with clones?
The first time Naruto used the Rasenshuriken, he created 2 of them, one of them created fully with clones as a distraction, and another one created by him and 2 clones. Then, the real Naruto gets injured in his arm due to the technique and he decided after being ordered by Tsunade not to use it anymore (at least for a while). But as it was shown in that battle he can create a Rasenshuriken fully with clones, and the harm the clones get doesnt get transfered to the real Naruto. Then,
Why did Naruto decide not to use the Rasenshuriken due to the harm it did to his arm, if he could create it with clones?

This question is currently being discussed on the meta.

plus, someones already asked this question: https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/37482/when-tsunade-told-naruto-to-not-use-the-rasenshuriken-couldnt-he-have-just-use

In a way, theres two answers. Chronologically, the first one is because he couldn't, or wasn't allowed, and afterwards, there would be no need to.
From the Naruto Wiki on Rasen-Shuriken:

After travelling a certain distance or colliding with a target that it can't slice through, the central sphere of the Rasenshuriken detonates, producing a vortex of wind in the immediate area. Within this vortex, countless microscopic wind blades are created, so many that even the Sharingan can't count them all.The wind blades pierce every cell in the body, disconnecting them from the Chakra circulatory system and so preventing them from providing their physical energy to the chakra-creation process. Because of this, the target loses their ability to create and mould chakra, damage which cannot be healed by medical ninjutsu.Tsunade likens the damage to poison, and warns that if the damage is great enough, those affected by it won't be able to use jutsu again. (emphasis mine)

Because the jutsu damaged the user itself, Tsunade marked it as forbidden, which is why he wouldn't be able to do that, as I previously mentioned. It was forbidden. So, he wouldn't be able to do this because the jutsu was marked forbidden. Most jutsu, such as the Shadow Clone Technique, are made forbidden because they can severely damage or kill the user. Rasen-Shuriken was an example of that. So of course, he wouldn't do it with a clone. Naruto didn't even have permission to use it.
And as to why there would later be no need:

Naruto is able to overcome these flaws by learning senjutsu. By infusing the Rasenshuriken with senjutsu chakra, its shape is maintained after formation, meaning that he can use it as a projectile and, as a result, that he no longer needs to worry about damaging himself. (emphasis mine)

So, one he couldn't do that because it was marked forbidden, and later, when he mastered Sage Mode, he wouldn't need to because he himself can throw and maintain its shape upon entering it.

But when Tsunade told him, don't do this because it will harm you, he just could have said, it wont harm me if I create it with clons. Instead, he said, I wont do it anymore because I know it harms me. Doesnt he use clons all the time as decoy for not harming himself?

@daniel because at that point of the story where the question is set he didnt know that.

@daniel . That isnt really what I'm asking. I know Tsunade asked him not to use it because it would harm himself, it's mentioned in the same question. But Naruto always questioned Tsunade decisions and most of the times he got to do what he wanted. In this case, instead of questioning Tsunade, he said he knows the technique makes harm to himself and that's why he wouldnt use it. But he knows he can use the technique without harming himself. Then why didnt he tell Tsunade this? If he would, Tsunade wouldnt care about him using it, since the only reason for her to ban him was not to harm himself

Let us continue this discussion in chat.

Because this would kill the clone completely, as mentioned in the duplicate comment that @ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ mentioned.
Taken from that post,

The reason that a clone could not work in this scenario would be due to the fact that clones are dispelled once sufficiently high physical damage is inflicted to it. It would be my belief that a clone could never sustain its form long enough to sustain a hit with the Rasenshuriken before it - and the jutsu - were dispelled.

Naruto did not use Rasen-Shuriken with his clones because of the damage that it inflicted to him, which would make the clone dissipate entirely. This would make it unnecessary. But as @ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ mentioned in his own answer, this disadvantage would later be bypassed because he learned how to throw the clone upon gaining access to Sage Mode.

great answer, but could you explain how exactly the damage inflicted on his body still left no time to proceed with the damage? AFAIK, jutsu should do damage the moment they are in contact with someone else

@ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟ The damage inflicted to Naruto (and his clones arm, in this hypothetical case) is too great for the jutsu to even inflict damage in the first place. As I mentioned in my answer, the damage inflicted by the Rasen-Shuriken would kill the clone because of the damage it inflicts on Naruto's arm.

Does Ultra Instinct in super saiyan god powers up the transformation, or does it simply give Goku automatic dodging skills?
Recently Goku started to use Ultra Instinct when transformed in super saiyan god.
Does Ultra Instinct in super saiyan god powers up the transformation, or does it simply give Goku automatic dodging skills?

Ultra Instinct in  Dragon ball super is like another form from super saiyyan so the powers won't stack up.
When Goku first achieved Ultra Instinct Reiss stated that Goku's attacks are weak because he is still thinking while in Ultra Instinct.So, it doesn't matter which form he is in his powers varies according to his mind set.

Whis said that Ultra Instinct is an ability only the gods are capable of learning and that Goku is now getting a grasp of how to use it and that he is thinking of his moves instead of actually doing it instantly. Ultra Instinct is not a dodge ability, it enable the user to instantly attack, evade or defend without thought in the most perfect way possible. It's not a power up in the sense that it makes the user stronger, but it allows them to react perfectly in any senario. And no, it does not stack with the Super Saiyan God mode.

Where do animes get ambient sounds from?
There is an ambient sound that I've heard a lot of times in many different animes. I've never paid attention to which production companies did those animes, but every time I hear that ambient sound in another anime, I wonder if there is like a huge repository of ambient sounds for anime productions somewhere or just coincidentally all animes I've heard it were made by the same production company, which I doubt. It's an outdoor ambient sound of crickets and birds singing, it's so typical and it's in a lot of animes. I believe most animes I've heard it are relatively new animes, like 15 years old or less.

Stock audio is a business :)

BTW, an anime/episode I just heard it is DEAD DEAD DEMONS DEDEDEDE DESTRUCTION, episode 1 (it has episode zero) 13 minute 46 seconds

Another anime I've heard it is Kaii to Otome to Kamikakushi episode 12

Is life common in the Original Macross universe?
If we limit ourselves to the original Japanese language Macross continuity - the TV show and everything that's canon to it - and exclude reimagining, non-canonical spinoff animation, comics, radio plays and novels, and unrelated franchises that were part of the Robotech continuity but not Macross, is the existence of life beyond Earth considered common or rare, or is it simply impossible to know given the limited amount of information?
Is this something that's spoken off by characters, or commented on in any way in universe?
I'm deliberately limiting this question to the original Macross, as there are just too many other versions out there and some limits are needed.

It depends on what you mean by common and what you consider life. Do you only consider sentient life? Do the AI sentience (I.e., a certain virturoid) from Macross Plus count as life? Are we only considering the known in-universe Milky Way galaxy? Each of the main series focuses on different alien species that ultimately befriends mankind.
Many of the sentient races featured in the Macross are humanoids were, for a lack of a better word, created by Protoculture. They can vary greatly from from being genetically enginneered to naturally evolved (with the help of some genetic influencing) species. There are notably two exceptions which are hive minded sentinel microorganisms know as the Vajra and the (partially corporeal, pressing the Evil series) multidimensional energy beings known as the the Protodevlin. Life within the Macross universe is quite varied beside the well-known Zentraedi, there are marsupial Zola species, the Vordor catfolk, the Ragna merfolk, and the Windemerians. Humanoid life is pretty common and generally the norm in the galaxy of Macross series thanks to Protoculture. Aside from those Protoculture seeded species, there's also the Space Whales from Macross 7 Dynamite, which shows there's other life beyond the Protoculture.
The fact that theses forms of life in addition to the Protoculture, it's Stellar Republic and it's seeded colonies, and military forces that oppose it exist shows that there is a lot more to the universe to be explored. How common or uncommon they are remains to be explored.

Side note: While just a theory, disputed by fans, in terms of canon, neither the original SDF Macross nor DYRL are really canon per say. The real canonical history is the original planned 48-episode series that was never made due to a sponsor dropping out at the last minute. According to Shoji Kawamori a Macross production is just one interpretation of how things happened, so SDF Macross is one interpretation of Space War I from one perspective, while DYRL is is another interpretation of Space War I, with the real Space War I being some combination of both.

Ancient AI form Macross Plus? I don't remember that bit.

It's implied that the biochip installed in Sharon Apple may have been of extraterrestrial origin, possibly derived from some sort of ancient AI (like fold quartz from the Protoculture, specifically the Bird Human), but it's just an unconfirmed theory. Tangentially related from the Zettai Live movie for Delta it's specified that Yami_Q_Ray is essentially Sharon Apple (according to the promo material). Using DNA from a certain ancient being in place of the "faulty" biochip.

I have the full set on DVD in the original Japanese. Could you please narrow that down to a specific scene. Macross Plus exists isn't canonical to any other part of the franchise, it's standalone.

I don't know which set from which publisher you're referring to, are you referring to the Animego DVDs of SDF Macross? There's a lot of bootlegs out there so there's no actual complete collection of the entire franchise. Macross Plus is it's own standalone OVA and movie set, not part of the SDF. Macross Plus is canon to the main universe chronology. It happens in 2040 of the Macross timeline. If you have a question about canonicity please ask it in a separate question

The scene where the chip is installed is after the Atlantis Dome concert where Yang hack into Sharon’s system with a wrist computer during the "Idol Talk" song. Around the 16 minute mark of the 2nd OVA episode, about 28 minutes into the movie version.

I have the original Japanese language edition, nothing is mentioned about it being based on ancient technology.

it's not a box set. I have the individual Japanese DVD. I brought them monthly at the time of release.

I did say it was an unconfirmed theory.

All the Macross stories happen between 1999 and 2067. Considering in 68 years they came across with at least 4 different alien species (the ones I remember now), and the galaxy / our universe is incredibly huge , and crossing them by chance is extremely unlikely, I'd say life in the Macross universe is common

Is Chougoukin New Z also made of Japanium?
Supposedly, Mazinger Z was made with an alloy called Chōgokin Zetto ( Super-Alloy Z) . This alloy is made of Japanium, a new element only found in Mount Fuji.
In a movie, where Mazinger Z was destroyed, a similar looking robot called Great Mazinger Z came to the rescue and saved the day. The Great Mazinger Z was stronger than Mazinger Z, and one of the reasons probably is Mazinger Z was made with Chōgokin Zetto ( Super-Alloy Z)  , when the Great Mazinger Z was made of Chougoukin New Z (New Super-Alloy Z)
Is this new Alloy that probably made The Great Mazinger Z more powerful than his predecesor, also made of Japanium, or is it made with other elements?

Is Grendizer U a continuation or a remake of the 80's series?
In the 80's as a kid I watched the original Grendizer series, a spinoff of the classic 70's  Mazinger, one of the first popular mecha animes of all times. Now delightedly I've seen they started airing Grendizer U, which his name for some reason sounds like a sequel to me, but the summaries I've seen sounds more like a remake.
So what is it? Is Grendizer U a remake of the original series, a continuation, a spin-off  or what?

Was Sukuna always stronger than Satoru Gojo, or became stronger and at some point surpassed him?
In the Jujutsu Kaisen wikia it states that

 Sukuna killed Satoru Gojo

Was Sukuna always stronger than Satoru Gojo, or became stronger and at some point surpassed him?

First of all, given that Sukuna is millenia-old sorcerer, it's more likely that Gojo (presumably) had suprassed him at some point.
Re you question: according to the last panel of 235, Gojo indeed was stronger than Sukuna (i.e. practically incapacitating him from further battle) until Gege pulled a deus ex machina and gave Sukuna a plot power of "cutting infinity".
Even if we omit this controversial point, Sukuna heavily relying on Mahoraga's powers as a single option to counter Gojo's Infinity is a good indication that Sukuna did actually only surpass Gojo after transferring himself to Megumi and inheriting his technique.

Why did the person who wanted to petrify the whole world say the diameter of Earth?
Supposedly, as far as I know, the petrification device works by telling it the distance of  petrification. If you say 1 meter, 1 second, it will petrify in 1 second in a radius of 1 meter. But the person who wanted to petrify the whole Earth said the diameter of Earth as distance. But if he wanted to cover the whole Earth, he should have mentioned the perimeter of Earth divided by 2, not the diameter of Earth. The diameter of Earth is smaller than the perimeter of Earth divided by 2, so you wouldnt petrify the whole Earth by saying the diameter.
Being Dr Stone a very "scientific" anime, "the most scientific anime ever", with a lot of Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry details and teachings, I wonder how can this be wrong, or I am missinterpreting something?
Why did the person who wanted to petrify the whole world say the diameter of Earth?

Is there any reason to suggest that the petrification device is bound by Earth's surface? If the ground does not shield from its radiation, then the diameter of Earth is enough. If it does, then you can hardly hope to do it in one fell swoop. The only option I can see that makes the diameter not work and the equatiorial semicircumference yes would be as if the radiation operated like some sort of liquid that goes straight through air (and water?), but which is also bound to flow over solid ground.

@Gae.S. interesting point . Yet, people in the space station wasnt petrified during Earth's petrification.

BTW, usually kilometers of rock stop most radiation. But there are exceptions like "Neutrinos present a very high flux of particles so very intense radiation but luckily these particles interact so weakly with matter that they pass even through the Earth without interacting". Anyway, if the Space Station radiation shield can stop the petrification ray, the kilometers of rock from Earth sure also can stop it

I know absolutely nothing about Dr. STONE, but if the petrification device is located on the Earth's surface, then the space station could easily have escaped just by being on the other side of the planet.

@鬼いちゃん so you mean, because the space station would be at a distance of diameter+408 kms, it should have escaped, right? or did it get it wrong? But that would be the same for an airplane flying at diameter+10kms , wouldnt be?

Bingo. Except the Earth also isn't a perfect sphere, and it could be the case that there simply happened not to be a plane in a region where cruising altitude would escape at the time.

@鬼いちゃん It could be an answer, but it doesnt seem very likely. There are around 100,000 flights per day in the world

Also how did only effect humans because it is shown effective against birds(I think they are swallows) .

Are there humans at all in NieR: Automata?
I'm watching NieR:Automata. At first I thought the resistance members were humans, but they are also androids like the ones from YoRHA but not exactly of the same type apparently. So I've searched some info in internet and found this is supposed to be a sequel of a videogame where Androids created by humans fight Machines created by aliens.
So, do humans still exist at all in this anime? What about the bosses who sent the androids to contact the resistance on Earth? What are they, humans or androids?
Are there humans at all in NieR: Automata?

The bosses are androids, the same as 2B and 9S.
I haven't watched the anime, so I don't know whether the situation is any different there, but in the video game,

 it's revealed at the end of Route B that humanity has already gone extinct. So no, there are no humans in NieR: Automata, or at least, not in the video game.

What about Emil? The original is still alive according to Yoko Taro.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to consider what has become of Emil "human" anymore.

Did manga sales always outperform comic sales?
I was reading by accident that manga sales now are like 4 times american comic sales.

Manga reached record sales numbers in 2020, earning an estimated $5.6
billion in Japan alone, according to Megan Peters. Meanwhile, that
same year American comics earned $1.28 billion in North America,
according to a joint survey by ICv2 and Comichron.

Japanese manga dominating American comics
I also saw manga sale figures for 1995 in Japan compared to the oldest I could find of american comics (2012 if I recall correctly) and the difference was even larger. What about the golden era of american comics (which I believe it was in the 60's or before ) .
Did manga sales always outperform comic sales?
Further info:
Japan-manga-unit-sales 1990-2017
1960 (american) Comic book sales

Did those figures take into account the fact that most manga (e.g. Shonen Jump) are published weekly, whereas most comics are published monthly? If not, then that would explain the higher sales figures: if a manga sells 10,000 copies a week, and a comic book sells 10,000 copies a month, then the manga is going to get four times as many sales just from getting published four times as often.

The figures only take into account the USA where magazines like Shounen Jump do not even get published. Manga made up 76% of that market in 2021 according to NPD BookScan.

I found this about copies sold in the 60's https://www.comichron.com/yearlycomicssales/postaldata/1960.html

Manga as an industry only started around the 1970s. There were manga published before that, but not more than a few each year.
Comics on the other hand started out way earlier, so there necessarily was a time when comics sold more than manga. They also used to come with the stigma of being for children and manga didn't.
Then again the USA has over twice the population of Japan and it wasn't common for Japanese media to leave Japan, while the USA has always been eager to export their entertainment.
According to NPD BookScan (article to be found here) in the USA alone Manga made up 76% of the graphic novel market in 2021, which is actually a very heavy damnation for comics.

Once again, I don't think you're taking into account the fact that most manga are published weekly whereas most comics are published monthly.

Manga outsell comics 7:3 in the USA where they are only published as books and not as magazines.

Not sure what you say is accurate, I found 100 mangas were created in the 60's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Manga_debuts_by_year

@Pablo A hundred Manga for an entire decade is a negligible amount.  These days you get about ten thousand new manga per year, but during the 60s there only were a few manga released each year. It wasn't really an industry at that point.

Were there several layers of Titans in each wall, or how is it possible they could cover the whole Earth?
In this map, World of Attack on Titan , they show Paradis Island and the rest of the world. The walls are rings inside the Island, if there is a single layer of Titans, the width they could cover is the size of the walls. When they walk away of the island, they would separate and couldnt cover the whole Earth.

The only possibility is there are several layers of Titans in each wall, but I dont think that's what we saw or what the series meant, is it?
Were there several layers of Titans in each wall, or how is it possible they could cover the whole Earth?

Interesting notion. I've always thought that during the Rumbling the Titans would form a line and then proceed all in the same direction.

There's no direct answer here but a couple of points to consider

There are three walls, not one. And those three walls contain millions of colossal titans. At least according to Willie Tybur in chapter 100 of the Manga

Wall Sheena. Wall Rose. Wall Maria. His three walls, named after the three daughters of Ymir, the Founder ...are made of what must be millions of Colossus Titans.

The Titans don't need to keep a tight ring. The goal is for them to march over the surface of the planet, exterminating any humans. With 70% of the world covered by water, that's not as big a feat as you might think. The Titans need only sweep themselves over the land masses. They need not maintain themselves in a circle to do this.

Why did Ymir die after being pierced by a spear, if she should have the regenerative powers of a Titan?
In the last episode of the anime of Attack on Titan we see a flashback where Ymir is pierced by a spear and because of this she dies. But by then she had the powers of the titans so she should be able to regenerate her wounds.
Why did Ymir die after being pierced by a spear if she should have the regenerative powers of a Titan?

I'm not sure there is an indisputable answer to this question that doesn't rely on reader interpretation. That having been said, the fact that she shouldn't have died from such a simple wound leads us to a pretty conclusive answer: she consciously chose to halt her regeneration and die.
There are points in the story where we see lesser titan shifters lose all of their limbs, endure metal objects being forcibly embedded in their chests, explode, and generally suffer injuries that would be otherwise fatal to any non-shifter, and then fully recover given enough time. It is implied in the story that only severe damage to the nervous system, such as decapitation, could actually kill a shifter, but we never actually see that happen even though we see some pretty severe looking injuries. Given that Ymir is the f
Founding Titan, and thus the most powerful shifter of all time, she should easily have been able to survive being simply stabbed, even through the heart. Fritz dialogue at the time, "I know that no mere spear can  kill you", further supports this conclusion.
We've seen other shifters consciously prevent recovering from wounds, such as when Reiner is bitten in the arm by a titan and suffers a fracture and broken skin; when he decides to reveal himself as the Armored Titan and prepares to kidnap Eren, his wounds immediately heal as he displays his arm for Eren to see. As such, the most obvious supported explanation is that if a shifter suffers fatal injuries, and chooses not to recover, they can die like a regular person might. As to why Ymir chose to do so at that moment, that is a more nebulous question that I'm not sure has an objective answer (although there is plenty of support provided by the story for the reader to draw their own conclusions).

Well, I think why she wanted to die is pretty self-explanatory: she bore the children to a man she did not love, and was treated as a mere slave, and not a wife or concubine or whatever. As her story continues, you never see her smiling, which further indicates her life wasn't very enjoyable. Thus, when she threw herself in the way of the oncoming spear, she wasn't saving the king, but taking her own life.

I'm pretty sure the spear went straight from the heart, thru the nape. That can  be the single reason, as the titan regeneration powers take quite a long time to heal you, as seen with eren's eye, arm and leg, she couldn't have lasted so long without a heart, nape, and a spear in her body.

How does Zenitsu's speed compare to Hashiras?
There is an image circulating in internet about the speed of hashiras ranked, stated by Kimetsu No Yaiba author. In the last episode of the anime, we see both Zenitsu and Tengen moving very fast and cutting things in a flash. Supposedly Tengen is faster than Zenitsu, but there are some posts around saying once Zenitsu masters form #7 in the manga, he becomes the fastest demon slayer. Is this true?
How does Zenitsu's speed compare to Hashiras, is there info about this?

This reddit post might give you a start: https://www.reddit.com/r/KimetsuNoYaiba/comments/ixh7vw/how_fast_is_zenitsu/

Could marleyans turn into titanizable people if they eat the rests of titans?
In an episode of the last season of Attack on Titan, the daughters of Ymir Fritz ate the rest of their mother's corpse, and presumably because of this, all their descendants can turn into titans. What would happen then, if Marleyans eat the rest of titans?
Could Marleyans turn into titanizable people if they eat the rest of titans?

Nothing would happen since the main source of the transformation power is in Ymir's blood. Only her descendents, the eldians can transform into titans, there is no side effects for eating the titan's flesh or anything.
As we could see, she is the one who creates the titans in the Paths, and as we also saw, the eldians don't really die, they go to the paths. But with the last chapter, we saw that they are no longer there, everything ended after Eren's death.

No, they cant. Ymir was the founding titan and held the powers of other titans too, while the rest of the titans don't have any power nor the "IQ" so that it's user would have self consciousness.
Also, Eldians were a tribe and they "shared" the same blood and Ymir only had control over the Eldians and not Marleyans. This is the same reason that their armies had only Eldians as their titan holders.

Which stand users / stands, endings or anything are inspired in songs / singers from the 90's in JoJo's Bizarre adventure?
I noticed that in Jojo's Bizarre adventure, the stand user turtle's name Bucciarati team hides in, is inspired in a 90's song, Coco Jumbo
Coco Jumbo stand user from Jojo's Bizarre adventure
Coco Jumbo 90's song
Also, the stand's name, Mr President, it's the name of the singer of that popular 90's song.
I also noticed the ending of the anime third season is another popular 90's song.
Savage Garden - I want you
And there is another ending of another season which definetely sounds a 90's song, but I dont know its name.
Is there more content (endings, characters, stands or whatever) in Jojo's Bizarre adventure inspired or taken from 90's songs?

Almost every name in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure can be traced to being some sort of musical reference. It'd probably be faster to list the names that aren't direct references!
In order to even attempt to answer the question accurately, it's necessary to define what constitutes being "from the 90's". Must the song or artist have debuted in the 1990s? Is it enough for the artist to have been active during the 90s even if they started earlier? Would a 1990s re-release of a song or album that debuted earlier count?
For the record, chapter 151 of the manga (one-fourth of the way through Part 3, Stardust Crusaders) debuted on January 1, 1990, while chapter 595 (the start of Part 6, Stone Ocean) debuted on January 1, 2000. So the entirety of Part 4 (Diamond is Unbreakable) and Part 5 (Vento Aureo) was written during the 1990s. However, this doesn't guarantee that every musical reference made during that time is topical. For example, Part 5's White Album references a Beatles release from 1968, while Part 4's Super Fly references a film and soundtrack from 1972.
As for which 90s song besides "I Want You" is used for the anime ending sequences, the first ending theme for Golden Wind is "Freek'n You" by Jodeci.

Which was the first anime to feature Dragonoids?
I was watching Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken and a character in there is said to be a Dragonoid. I remembered Dragon Quest also features a character which has a Dragonoid form. Then I looked for more info in internet and I found that Dragonoids are also a race in an anime called Bakugan.
Where does this idea come from?
Which was the first anime to feature Dragonoids?

From my personal knowledge, the term Dragonoid far exceeds that of anime and might be too generic for a definite answer. Dragonoid could also be taken as Dragonborn or Dragonic-Human, which boils down to being Half-Dragon/Half-Other Species (typically humanoid) or having Dragon-like features. I've seen these terms in various table top RPGs and video games

@Wondercricket in Science Fiction and Fantasy SE, every time a question like this is asked people post the earliest version of the term / sci fi fantasy element they know. So if you know one which is earlier than the 3 ones I mentioned, I encourage you to post it. And to me it doesnt matter if the term predates anime, because what I would like to know is when it was first used in anime.  I think that any version of the term that there is  even if they have different meanings they share the concept of shared traits between humans and dragons (IE in DQ being a form, in Slime being a race)

I unfortunately do not know the answer, I was just giving some insight for those who might know to broaden their search criteria :) It’s a good question, one I’m particularly interested in

Regarding the term dragonoid I did find 2 other mentions, Yugioh has a card called "dragonoid generator" which creates "dragonoid" token monsters and Cardfight Vanguard's Kagero clan describes itself as "It is the land assault troop composed of dragons, dragonoids, and machines modeled after them". Vanguard seems to use the term as a catch-all for all of their non-dragon members since no card or race uses the term and this description is the only use of the term I could find

Dragonoid is a pretty utilitarian term, it's made up of the word dragon with the suffix -oid which means "like" or "resembling" (think humanoid/anthropoid which both mean non-human with human form/characteristics, ovoid which means "resembling an egg" or "egg shaped", etc.). Thus, dragonoid means something that "resembles a dragon" or is "dragon-like" without being a proper dragon. The Japanese term for dragonoid shared between DQ's dragon knight's dragonoid form and Slime's Milim's race is 竜魔人 (romanji: ryūmajin, lit: dragon monster person) is likewise quite utilitarian but each for different reasons.
In DQ the 竜の騎士 (romanji: Ryū no kishi lit: dragon knight) race was created from the collaboration between the god of dragons, god of darklings and god of humans which is reflected in the name of the dragonoid form which takes a character from each. However, do note that dragonoid is not the name of the race but of a form. "Dragonoid form" doesn't seem to carry any history beyond DQ and as a name of a form is usually utilitarian (demon form, final form, super (saiyan), etc.) and somewhat arbitrary.
On the other hand, Milim's race is 竜魔人 (dragonoid), birthed from the union of a human and dragon. In most media her race would be called "half-dragon" but slime adds the "monster" bit because in its universe all beings borne from magicules (i.e. mana) are considered monsters and they specifically define the term 魔人 (romanji: majin lit: monster person) to denote humanoid monsters. Thus she is a humanoid monster of the draconic variety. The half dragon race of beings carries a more storied history. Chinese myth believes that the emperors are descended from dragons which necessarily means dragons can make "the beast with two backs" with humans. A hulking lizard getting busy with a tiny human... how does that work? Another core trait of dragons is their ability to shapeshift which is rooted in antiquity from stories of humans being transformed into dragons Cadmus in Greek myth and Fafnir in Norse myth being the most famous inspirations. In more modern times we have the classic D&D origin story: a dragon + a human bard + nat 20 roll in Charisma = half-dragon babies. Given that we're talking about anime we should also consider dragonoids from the opposite direction too, rather than being rooted in the largely western idea of a "half-dragon" we think of Milim as a "dragon girl" which is a natural extension of "cat girls". A mainstay of otaku culture, cat girls probably trace lineage to folklore of Kitsune (fox yokai) who've long been believed to be able to shapeshift into beautiful women as well as stories of Bakeneko (cat yokai) prostitutes which were prevalent in the Edo period. According to Wikipedia the first anime to feature cat girls was "The King's Tails" made in 1949. Now a ubiquitous trope in anime and manga cat girls are the poster child of kemonomimi (human-like beings with animal ears) at large which includes raccoon girls, horse-girl idols and even Isis-chan.
Bakugan's Dragonoid seems mostly like a one-off name, Dragonoid seems to exclusively be written in katakana (ドラゴノイド romanji: doragonoido) which means its intended to be a loan word from the English word "dragonoid" rather than a choice of reading for 竜魔人 like the other two. Bakugan also makes abundant use of the -oid suffix in their names: Serpenoid, Centipoid, Hydranoid, Ravenoid, etc. Likely because naming things by corrupting existing English words sounds cooler (dragonoid > dragon, ravenoid > raven, etc.) and improves SEO.
So where does the idea of dragonoids come from? Likely nowhere, the three given examples seem to be the only uses of dragonoid, have a mixed bag of influences and none of them have anything to do with each other. Rather than being inspired by each other it seems as though 3 separate franchises independently saw the utility the name dragonoid
