Why did Yashamaru lie to Gaara that he hated him?
I was re-watching Naruto, and when Gaara's backstory was being revealed, I noticed something that I never really understood earlier. Yashamaru was ordered to kill Gaara, yes, but in his last breath, he lies to Gaara that he never loved him, and that he couldn't forgive him for killing his sister during childbirth.
I read through the Naruto wiki - https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Yashamaru#Personality - to confirm whether he was actually lying to Gaara ,or whether my memory deceives me, but yes, the wiki also confirms that Yashamaru "claims" to hate Gaara but in reality, hated the Fourth Kazekage. So the question still remains - why did he lie to Gaara anyway? He was the only reason why Gaara was able to stay relatively sane for so long, and he was Gaara's only glimmer of hope and happiness in an otherwise lonely environment. What good can possibly come of stripping Gaara of that sliver of happiness and love?
My theory is that because Yashamaru hated the Fourth Kazekage, maybe he wanted Gaara to truly lose all semblance of humanity and fully embrace his inner demon and destroy the village. Maybe as a way to avenge his sister - if the Fourth Kazekage could do such horrible things to "protect the village", then enabling his own son to destroy his precious village would be a big middle finger in his face. Sounds like a dark theory, but I couldn't come up with anything better.
Does anyone know any canon reason? Or a better psychological explanation?

According to Naruto wiki article on Yashamaru,

Yashamaru's elder sister, Karura, died shortly after giving birth to her youngest son Gaara, within whom the One-Tailed Shukaku had been sealed. After her death, Yashamaru was appointed as Gaara's caretaker by the Fourth Kazekage. Unlike his fellow villagers, he attempted to understand his nephew's plight as a jinchūriki, and believed that the sand that flew to Gaara's aid in moments of danger was actually the will of Karura protecting her child.  However, when Gaara's inability to control Shukaku proved a problem, the Fourth Kazekage tasked Yashamaru with the duty of attacking the boy both physically and psychologically to test his actual mastery over the beast's power. Yashamaru reluctantly accepted his role in order to teach Gaara about physical pain, emotional pain and love.

Yashamaru before he commits suicide.

The test became a suicide mission after Yashamaru was gravely injured by Gaara's Sand Binding Coffin. He lied to Gaara, telling him that he hated him and that his sister gave him his name from the phrase "a self-loving carnage" (我を愛する修羅, Ware o aisuru shura) to reflect the undying hatred she felt towards the village, rather than out of love for her son. Yashamaru then told Gaara that nobody would ever love him, and then detonated a series of explosive tags hidden within his
flack jacket in an attempt to take Gaara with him. Yashamaru's cruel words and his suicide caused Gaara to become a sociopath and even more of an emotional wreck than he already was.
It would only be years later during the Fourth Shinobi World War that Gaara learned the truth of the mission he was given and that he had in fact lied to him about his mother under direct orders from the Fourth Kazekage.

In my opinion, to test Gaara, The Fourth  Kazekage ordered Yashamaru to test Gaara mentally and physically. That test however ended up in the death of Yashamaru and Gaara becoming a sociopath. Yashamaru loved Gaara but to test Gaara he had to say things that he didn't even think of.
Yes, his sister was dead in the process of creating a Jinchuriki but that was a sacrifice for the whole village. So Yashamaru may hate the Fourth Kazakage but he still loved and cared for Gaara.

I still don't understand what good will come of testing it. Why would Yashamaru continue to listen to the Kazekage's orders even while he's dying?

Actually, Yashamaru loves Gaara; that's why, when the Kazekage asks, Yashamaru says he is just a child.
Yashamaru said those harsh words because his mission was to provoke Gaara by telling him about his mother, so he had to say something, and he did it. (As the Kazekage said, whether Gaara rampaged after listening to Yashamaru or not was the test, and sadly, he failed.)
After re-animation, even the Kazekage reveals that Yashamaru hates only him, not Gaara.
At least Yashamaru advises Gaara to love only himself as a dying gift.

Because that was the mission.
It's as simple as that. Yashamaru was a ninja, and an Anbu at that. It is stated repeatedly through the Naruto series how important it is that a ninja carry out their missions. Obito and Kakashi may have flipped the script a little with their own motto, but in the world at large, ninja who strayed from their mission for personal reasons were scum. This is a real cultural point in the ninja world, to the point where Kakashi's father felt so disgraced and shamed after disobeying his orders to save his comrades that he took his own life (and even his rescued comrades were disgusted at his actions, if I recall correctly). The Anbu are particularly cold and efficient. Thus, Yashamaru's personal feelings should not be a factor once the Kazekage gives him a mission.
The Fandom page (https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Yashamaru) also states that Yashamaru was the right-hand man of the Fourth Kazekage, citing Naruto chapter 548, page 6 as the source for this (I have no particular reason to doubt this citations, just wanted to note I haven't personally checked this). To hold this position, one would assume that he never displayed disobedience to the Kazekage, and this would again be further evidence that he would follow his missions to the letter, no matter his personal feelings.
There is plenty of evidence that this ninja culture exists, such as in episode 18 of the original Naruto series, The Weapons Known as Shinobi, when Sakura gives us Rule 25 of the Ways of the Shinobi:

"A Shinobi must never show his true feelings under any circumstances, no matter what... The mission always comes first. A Ninja must have the strength of character never to shed any tears..."

Yashamaru may have had issues with the mission, and perhaps he did not want to carry it out, and it's possible he even thought it was a terrible plan, but the cultural values around him would push him towards the outcome we observed in the story.

In my opinion, it was to protect Gaara. While Yashamaru is dying and explaining the origins of Gaara’s name he states that Gaara must love only himself and that is is the only way he will survive. I believe that Yashamaru foresaw that the assassination attempts would continue and that if Gaara didn't build an emotional wall between himself and the world he would never have survived and would have, in my opinion, become even more twisted than he was. But this is just my theory.

Dragons and Magicules
Do dragons constantly create magicules, or do they just absorb them from the atmosphere?  If they do, why do they release them from their body, or is it that they can not stop it?

(Spoilers ahead from the light novel published recently)
*I refer to rimuru as a he due to its gender being male in the previous life

All monsters in the realm exude energy from their body. All monsters are created based on the density of magicules. This was why the Jura Forest had a high density of monsters due to the release of Veldora's magicules over the centuries. The only difference between a dragon's release and a normal slime's release is the amount of magicules that is produced.
From Volume 7 of the light novel,

 A lot of residents were practically brimming with magicules; the air was pretty dense with them by now, which was exactly how you got mystic beasts—they’d spontaneously manifest from pools of the stuff, and the more that were created, the more likely at least one would be harmful to us.

In the light novel published, there are multiple instances where this is mentioned

 Rimuru releases a mysterious aura when he first meets the goblins which leads them to believe he is a very strong monster. Rimuru then learns to control his aura by trapping inside his stomach.

 Rimuru forces Veldora to contain his own magicule release in order to prevent a catastrophe wrecking Tempest City due to the excessive release of magicules.

Their aura that they release is the release of magicules and the stronger the being, the more magicules they release.
In a later part of the novel, Rimuru also talks about the magicule density near Tempest being high to the point where it could start to discomfort other merchants who came for business, which leads to their breakthroughs in magicule research and development.
From Volume 7 of the light novel,

 [..] unnaturally full of magicules. We were all projecting pretty heavy auras even when we tried to hold them back.

The magicules are like oxygen to the monsters, it helps them survive, yet just like oxygen a very large amount or very little can cause damage to their metabolic rates.

 This feature is exploited by the Western Holy Church during their massacre of the monsters and Hinata during her first fight with Rimuru.

All in all, just like we breathe oxygen in and release some oxygen while exhaling, the monsters breathe magicules.

Hi, this looks like a solid answer, and it'd be better if you could also mention the specific volume/chapter of the light novel as a reference. Thanks!

@AkiTanaka, do I need to add citations for each reference that I make? since they come from memory and I would have to look and find out if that's the case.

The current revision is okay. It's just that "the light novel published recently" may confuse readers (when is "recently"? which one was published?), considering that the current volume for the light novel is #18 for the Japanese version and #10 (soon #11) for the English version.

How can you differentiate between the different types of anime?
The two main ones that I know are shounen and seinen (if that is how you spell them). I’ve also heard of other names like Isekai and ecchi.   I’m not sure what ecchi is, but I think isekai is when you are summoned to another world or something. How do you differentiate between the different types of anime?  Is it due to how gory one is or the story?

Shounen, Seinen, Shoujo and Josei are terms for four of the main demographics that manga and anime are marketed to. Broadly:

People aged between about 12 and 18 are in the Shounen demographic if they're male, or Shoujo if they're female.

People aged from 18 to about 45 are in the Seinen demographic if they're male, or Josei if they're female.

Ultimately, the distinction between the demographics is based on which manga magazine publishes the work. The more adult genres (seinen and josei) are more likely to cover adult topics and have more explicit depictions of content such as sex and violence, but it's not an absolute thing - Fist of the North Star is much more graphic in its depiction of violence than One Punch Man, for example, but Fist is defined as shounen while OPM is seinen. Osamu Tezuka's manga series Phoenix was published across 3 or 4 different magazines that covered the shounen, seinen and shoujo demographics, although the art style and content varies a bit across them. The age and sex of the lead character can often be a hint to the demographic - it's rare for a seinen manga to have a little girl protagonist, for example - but it's not a guarantee either.
The demographics can intersect with almost all genres - there are shounen romantic comedies and shoujo horrors and josei isekai and practically every other combination if you look hard enough.
Some of the other terms you asked about are better described as genres or subgenres, and in particular:

Isekai literally means "other world" and refers to stories where a person is transported to a different world. Most commonly, a person from Earth is sent to a fantasy world, sometimes as a reincarnation, but at this point "Japanese schoolgirl dies and is reincarnated as a character in a dating simulation video game" is a rapidly growing sub-genre. "Reverse Isekai" is sometimes used to describe stories where characters from a fantasy world are pulled to Earth, but it's not quite as broadly known.

Ecchi comes from the Japanese pronunciation of the letter "H" (for "Hentai", meaning perverted, but is also a general euphemism for sex or sexual topics). Ecchi manga are ones with lots of flashes of adult content without being overly explicit with them. They're usually comedies, often rom-coms, and most frequently targeted to older teens (so they do tend to land on the border of shounen and seinen).

Good answer, although I'd argue that seinen does quite often involve little girl protagonists - see Gochumon wa Usagi desu ka, Slow Start, K-On! etc. A lot of the lightest, fluffiest moe "bishoujo zoo" stuff happens to be seinen, particularly by virtue of 4-koma magazines (prominently Manga Time serials) often having the senien designation.
While as stated in the answer, the level of violence and gore is often a decent indicator of shounen vs. seinen for more actiony works, the same designation for moe fluff is often a crapshoot, given solely on the basis of the magazine demographic.

That's very true, and I probably didn't explain just how much some genres can sit firmly in a demographic that, at first glance, doesn't match it.

Can a non devil fruit user use Haki with Seastone cuffs?
This question is basically an extension of this question, in which it's mentioned that a devil fruit user can't use Haki because he/she gets weak due to seastone, but seastone shouldn't have any affect on Non-Devil fruit user.  So can they use Haki while they are in contact of seastone? Like Zoro and Ussop did during Water 7 arc.

https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Silvers_Rayleigh is a good example! In his introduction, he does something like that already.
In the latest Wano arc, we see Luffy does something like Rayleigh(breaks seastone cuffs)
I agree to the point that https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/53266/53844, overtime people can build stamina to resist seastone cuffs and also seastone cuffs effect might vary unlike sea

They can use it. Reason is seastone only nullifies devil fruit powers. Haki is a whole different kind of power.
For evidence you can look up Wano Arc.

Yes, they can. There isn't very direct proof though, but the much we have, it says, no dfs are fine and can use haki. Although I am not use about breaking them using haki... Seastones are very durable. Probably it required advanced haki to break them!!

What happened to Molly's mother?
In Spell of the Unknown we are told that Molly's mother disappeared some time before the film. At the end of the film, Spencer appears with a woman who has a similar sort of hat to what Molly's mother has in the photograph.

After seeing them, we see Molly mouth something (sorta looks like Mama) and rush into the woman's arms. Given how much Molly loves her mother he can probably assume this is her actual mother and not some woman who would become Molly's step-mother.
But then what happened to Molly's mother that would cause her to disappear before the film, and then all of a sudden be found at the end?

I have seen that many years ago!

Although never explained in the film, the guidebooks released with the Japanese version of the film reveal that she was hospitalised before the events of the film as per Bulbapedia.

Why is "Uso Da!" used in Higurashi?
I haven't heard  "Uso Da!" used to mean "Liar!" in any other anime from what I can remember, and when I type the phrase into google, it seems to exclusively be a Higurashi thing. Why is this?  If it were just a dramatic word that's not really used in real conversation, which is common for media, I'd expect to hear it more elsewhere in other anime too. I'd love to hear exactly why uso da seems exclusive to Higurashi, thank you ^^

だ is really just there for emphasis, and would likely be there for emphasis in any other media or show.
From the article:

The most basic functions of だ are to mark nouns and な-adjectives as positive (true), and present tense (relevant to now or the future). だ is not used with word types that have their own way of telling us their tense or whether or not they’re true, such as verbs and い-adjectives.

So if you heard someone say　"嘘{うそ}だ！", phonetically it's no different than if someone said, "You liar!"
As with natural speech, there is always nuance in how people speak certain phrases.  This example is no different, and the real answer as to why this form is used over others is a bit beyond my completely non-native understanding to assist you with.
I do hope that this can give you some enlightenment as to why it is the way it is, though.

This answer makes me feel like I'm starting to get it, although I still don't get it entirely, how come uso da seems to be uncommon in other anime to the point where it's basically associated with higurashi? that point I still dont get, unless I'm mistaken I suppose

Anime speak is often slang and not exactly the same or consistent kind of Japanese you'd hear among native speakers.  I would say that I've heard that phrase before in other anime - that I can't name off the top of my head, and given that it does have value in an exclamation of someone being a liar, I really can't see this being exclusive to one show.

@blakeharrisonakerz If I remember from Japanese class correctly, when だ is used alone at the end of the sentence, it might sound too harsh. That's why you often hear it followed by よ or ね, as in だよ or だね. I don't remember much from this anime but this might be an example of using だ to emphasize 'strong, negative emotions.' which often arises during the course of this anime. You can read more here: https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/da-vs-desu-in-real-life/

"Uso da!" is not only used in Higurashi but also appeared in other anime & manga.
Before the original Higurashi VN was released in 2002, the same phrase was used in

YuYu Hakusho manga (Weekly Shonen Jump, 1993), volume 13, chapter 112:

幻海「嘘だ！！」(source)
Genkai: You're lying!! (scanlation)

Neon Genesis Evangelion (TV anime, 1996), episode 24, 16:55~ :

 碇シンジ「嘘だ嘘だ嘘だ！ カヲル君が、彼が使徒だったなんて、そんなの嘘だ！」(source)
 Shinji: No, no, no! It's impossible! I won't believe that Kaoru is an Angel. It's a lie! (dub)

Literally, the meaning of "uso da!" is "(it's a) lie!", while "liar" is "usotsuki". Though, the implication of "uso da!" being "liar!" or "(you're) lying!" is also valid. Here is some comparison for various versions of Higurashi (Twitter, Reddit, YouTube):

Higurashi Hou (original VN, 2002, unofficial translation): LIES!/THAT'S A LIE!
Higurashi (anime, 2006): Liar!
Higurashi (manga, 2008): LIAR!
Higurashi Hou (Steam VN, 2015): LIES!
Higurashi Gou (anime, 2020): You're lying!

As for why it seems "exclusive", possibly it is because the impact of that particular scene in Higurashi is so memorable until it reaches a level of meme.

Reference: the comment thread about Uso da!!! on Nico Nico Pedia (Japanese)

Why doesn't Himawari have a Jougan?
Boruto has a Jougan because his father, Naruto Uzumaki, is a descendant of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and his mother, Hinata Uzumaki, is a descendant of Hamura Otsutsuki. This gave him Kaguya's chakra and a Jougan (anime only). "Toneri didn't appear in Himawari's dreams and give her a Jougan" isn't the answer I'm looking for, as it is completely wrong. I just want to know why she also didn't get a Jougan as Hagoromo and Hamura's chakra would still mix when she is born, meaning she should have one as well.
Why doesn't she have one? Is it plot hole? Or is a Jougan supposed to be an OP Dojutsu meant for the MC only?

It is not a plot hole or something other than it. It is based on that she is still a child and has to mature in order to learn the techniques and the hidden agendas. Maybe in the future we might see her as a sage with powers comparing to that of Naruto and might even unlock the hidden potential inside of her because her grandpa is a byakugan user and he very much loves his grandchildren. So, we might be in for a treat to witness her greatness and she might spar with her brother in the future since you know, they are siblings with overwhelming powers

yep you got that.

How did Conan enter primary school without any official papers?
I watched DC and I always had a question: how did Conan enter primary school without any official papers or birth certificate?
Did they ever try to justify this part? For example faking documents, or enrolling exceptionally in an unofficial way.

Why would one need official papers to be admitted to a school? Seems like unnecessary overhead. Also, what kind of official papers would someone that age have, other then the birth certificate? Which is something that could reasonably be in the hands of his parents, who were explained to be overseas.

"Why would one need official papers to be admitted to a school?" whaaaat!? any school in the countries where I lived/live, would ask for parents ID + child birth certificate, without these documents you just can't get into school. isn't that the case in Japan?

And if the kid were to be sent to school by someone else other than his parents, this someone else needs to present official papers of custody by the parents of the child.

Is education compulsory in your country? In mine, whether parents want to or not, kids have to go to school. Therefore missing documentation wouldn't be a valid reason to prevent school entry.

No, it's not, but it will still require papers, dunno if missing papers will prevent entry, but they will still ask for it. Even if they don't have the birth certificate the school will simply try to obtain a copy from local authorities by matching prefecture, father name, and mother name.

I am just 100% sure you can't just walk into school and enroll with " konichiwa my name is XXX YYY" So my question is perhaps did they ever try to justify this fact in conan anime/manga? or is it just one of those simplifications that we will pretend it never existed just to keep the anime running for 2k episodes? after all, the entire anime is based on an illogical shrinking drug, and I kid who encounter a murderer twice per day so it won't really shock me if their parallel universe has no papers. It's just plain absurd how he is always stressed about passport, but not birth certificate...

They never even bothered to explain how smartphones were a thing in 1996. Or how Conan can celebrate twenty new years without aging. But yeah, I find nothing strange about Conan and Haibara enrolling without having any documentation, other then their current place of residence. If they were born overseas no one would bother checking anyway.

"They never even bothered to explain how smartphones were a thing in 1996." hahah true the smartphone thing also bothered me, they just appeared all of a sudden, but for that you could just pretend that the anime adapts, as if the story just started in 2020, but passport problem to travel will always be a problem no matter in what era the anime starts

Conan does get papers down the line to travel around. As birth certificates can literally go up in smokes, it's also not surprising for there to be methods to enter the system after all your documentation is gone. Unlike it used to the case back in the days. There's a movie about this called "The Captain from Köpenick" about someone forced into crime, since he can't get work without papers, but to get papers he needs to have proof that he works in the country.

I think Haibara also enrolled the same way like Conan, isn't it?

All we know is that in Chapter 10, Professor Agasa "processed all the forms", probably claiming that Conan is his relative as he told Ran in Chapter 2.
Being a genius for science and engineering, he may have forged Conan's birth certificate.

Which were the 4 social classes mentioned in Rurouni Kenshin Meiji Kenkaku Romantan episode 5?
In Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan episode 5, they mention people fought to end the 4 social classes that existed in Japan, so all people would be equal. This is apparently a re-make of the 90's series; also there was a manga, OVAs, an animated movie, live action movies, etc. so I suppose anywhere it was mentioned. Also this might be what historically happened in Japan or not, since certain ideas are historically accurate, and others aren't or are loosely  based. I suppose 2 of the social classes were farmer and samurai, but not sure which would be the others.
Which were the 4 social classes mentioned in Rurouni Kenshin Meiji Kenkaku Romantan episode 5?

The four classes in feudal Japan were:

samurai
farmers
artisans
merchants

These were legal classifications; the emperor and his court were above them, and the burakumin, including professions such as actor or butcher, were below it.

How did Ignis know about Nyx?
In Episode Ignis, when Ignis has the Ring of Lucii, after Ardyn warns him of the danger of putting on the ring, Ignis notes that a Glaive was able to use the ring.
From my understanding, the Ring of Lucii has always been worn by royalty with one exception being Nyx Ulric, one of the Kingsglaive (or Glaives for short) who in Kingsglaive had worn the ring and been able to use its power to fight General Glauca and awaken the Old Wall.
Yet Nyx using the Ring of Lucii happened during Insomnia's fall when Noctus's crew were out of the city heading to Altissia and had no knowledge of the events in it beyond that the Empire attacked and Noctus's father had been killed.
So how did Ignis know about Nyx having worn the Ring of Lucii?

Unfortunately, this is not something that is fully explained in great detail in any of the Final Fantasy XV media, which can result in a plot hole at face value. This Reddit thread may shine some light on it though. According to the comments in the thread, this plot-hole might be the result a difference between the English dialog and the Japanese dialog.
The English dialog says

I may not be of royal blood, but if a Glaive can harness its power, then so can I!

The Japanese dialog says

I heard that a Kingsglaive sacrificed himself to use the power of the ring

However, it is not explained how Ignis heard about Nyx's usage of the Ring. Additional users from the Reddit thread say it may have been scratched content, oversight, or apart of the news channels that were covering the fall of Insomnia

How can Tanjiro become a Hashira in Demon slayer?
How can a demon slayer become a hashira? What are the requirements? Is there any exam conducted to become hashira? No one has defeated 12th upper demon before, so I believe that is not the condition.

Slight correction, it is untrue to say none of the 12 demon moons have been felled before, quite a few of them have fallen over time, mostly assorted members of the Lower Ranks (ranks 7-12) but at least one of the Upper Ranks has also fallen. It was noted that it has been over 100 years since the last time an Upper Rank was killed but numerous members of the Lower Ranks have been killed by Hashira over time

You are not needed to kill a upper demon to become a Hashira if you can fulfill the other condition.

To be a member of the Hashira, a Demon Slayer must be among the strongest combatants in the entirety of the Demon Slayer Corps. There are two known methods (both extremely difficult) that allow one to prove that they are worthy of becoming a Hashira: the first method is to accumulate a demon kill count of at least 50 as a Kinoe-ranked Demon Slayer, or slay a member of the Twelve Kizuki. The second method is being a Tsuguko of a Hashira, which requires immense talent.
https://kimetsu-no-yaiba.fandom.com/wiki/Hashira

tanjiro defeated upper moon will he become hashira?

@SayedMohdAli that would be Manga spoilers. Anyways, he didn't defeated UMDs alone as he had help from fellow Hashiras.

Could Sesshōmaru's left arm be out there living a life of its own?
In Yashahime Kirinmaru is shown to have lost both an arm and a horn, and both of these things took on lives of their own and donned human forms:

 Kirin Osamu and Riku, respectively.

Early on in the events of Inuyasha, Inuyasha cut off Sesshōmaru's left arm. I gather from reading wiki pages that Sesshōmaru never put that arm back on, but rather regenerated a new one. Sesshōmaru is a great demon or Daiyokai, just like Kirinmaru. Thus, I can't help but wonder where that left arm is now....
Obviously, this is a little subjective. So, as for an objective answer to this question, I'd like two things:

What is the current state of Sesshōmaru's missing arm, as far as what was shown? Was it completely destroyed or something like that?
Do we know anything about the rules for when body parts that fall off demons become new beings? Is it a Kirinmaru exclusive power, perhaps?

Though it's disappointing, I suspect the answer to 2 is we don't really know anything, so barring any information I'm unaware of, I'll accept an answer that just gives the details of what happened to Sesshōmaru's missing arm, and what chapter or episode it was last seen in. Maybe something Naraku did could be informative though. And if the Great Dog Demon lost any parts, that would be useful to know as well.

Long Answer
I reviewed episode 7, Showdown! Inuyasha vs. Sesshomaru, which is the episode where Sesshomaru loses his arm. During the fight, Inuyasha doesn't just cut off the arm; he slashes up the whole length of the arm (Sesshomaru was in dog form at the time), likely damaging it extensively. In fact, I didn't see the arm afterwards. I didn't see it fall off and I didn't see it on the ground at any point afterwards, which might imply that it was disintegrated. Even if it wasn't disintegrated, it's likely very badly damaged.
Now, on to whether it's even possible Sesshomaru's arm could come to life. The answer is maybe, and it goes back to the Great Dog Demon, his father. The Tesseiga, Inuyasha's sword, is actually made from the Great Dog Demon's fang, and the Tenseiga, Sesshomaru's sword, is derived from the Tesseiga. So, just like Kirinmaru, the Great Dog Demon did lose a part (a fang). Whatever happened in this case is going to be more applicable to Sesshomaru, given we're talking about his father here. And what is the case with the Tessaiga and the Tensaiga? Actually, it seems both do possess some sentience.
From the Tessaiga's wiki:

The Tessaiga also seemed to possess a mind of its own, as it has been seen guiding Inuyasha, such as wanting to be drawn or giving him advice in certain situations; this was a trait Tessaiga shared with Sesshōmaru's Tenseiga.

From Tenseiga's wiki:

Tenseiga had a slight form of sentience, as there could be seen at various points where it was communicating with Sesshōmaru, and expressed to him things such as a desire to be drawn or prompted him toward certain actions for the benefit of others; namely young Rin.

and

Much like the Tessaiga, Tenseiga shows some degree of sentience. As it sometimes requested to be drawn, or in 3000 Leagues in Search of Father, Tenseiga told Sesshōmaru to save the life of Kanta's father.

I believe the two swords primarily communicate by pulsing, which is then interpreted by their wielders. I'll admit I don't feel particularly inclined to scour all of this very long show to find these moments. Let's just conclude here that these swords came from the Great Dog Demon's fang, and they might be alive in some capacity.
Now, I've heard it said that the reason Sesshomaru couldn't reattach his arm or regrow it was due to it being cut by Tessaiga. The author even said something to this effect, though I can't find the interview to check what exactly was said:
From Tenseiga's wiki:

According to Rumiko Takahashi, Tenseiga could not heal Sesshōmaru's severed left arm because it was cut off with Tessaiga.

The citations say this come from page 172 of Zusetsutaizan Ōgikaiden, which seems to be one of those fan-book things and was called InuYasha Profiles by Viz when they released int in English.
What does this mean as far as Sesshomaru's arm taking on a life of its own? Is it not possible because it was cut off by Tessaiga? Actually, if I'm not mistaken, we have an answer for that! That's because Kirinmaru's parts were also cut off by Tessaiga! Tessaiga was an originally a weapon used by the Great Dog Demon, and he used it (or a sword that looks like it to me, at least) to cut off Kirinmaru's arm and horn during their battle. Unless I'm wrong and that wasn't actually Tessaiga (which is a real possibility, as I'm not extensively familiar with Inuyasha lore and when things happened), this means at the very least that being cut off by Tessaiga is not a reason that Sesshomaru's arm couldn't come to life.
Short Answer
The body parts of dog demons might come to life when they're cut off, or at the very least they might have some sentience, but we can't really know for sure. Sesshomaru's arm might have been too wrecked from that fight to take on a life of its own afterwards, even supposing that's a thing it could do in the first place. Frankly, I don't believe the world of Inuyasha is logically consistent, so the whole discussion might be moot.

Why does Makima believe Denji can be the most powerful devil hunter, when Aki was able to defeat the Leech devil and Denji couldn't?
In episode 5 of the Chainsaw Man anime, Makima tells Denji that she believes he can be the best devil hunter. But in a former episode, we saw for example, how Aki was able to defeat the Leech devil, and Denji couldn't.
Why does Makima believe Denji can be the most powerful devil hunter?

"Can" normally reflects potential, not actual, ability.  Why would she base it on current ability?

Because if the abilities she sees on him are like any other devil hunter abilities, there is no reason to think that way or she could think like that about any devil hunter. Unless she knows something about him that makes him special.

Because

 Makima knows what Denji is truly capable of, or rather the "chainsaw devil". This devil has the power to erase the existence of anything it eats (canonically Pochita had eaten the Nazis and erased WW2 from history).

This is a reason Makima has high hopes for Denji, but ultimately, she tries to turn him into her pet so she can control him.

Would you be able to cite sources for where the bit in the spoiler markup is referenced?

where is it mentioned in manga of MHA that Deku's father has fire breathing quirk?
I only found on fandom source and I have not read the manga, so what is the main source where it is mentioned that Deku's father has Unnamed Fire Breath Quirk?

In the very first volume, when his mother takes him to the doctor, and the doctor asks if she and his father have quirks, she states that she can pull small objects toward her, and

my husband can breathe fire.

When Homura took over the world it was playing "I was Waiting For This Moment" but is it actually someone else's song in reverse?
So I went ahead and tried exploring and reversing YouTube videos that i made into mp3 files which one of them being the "I Was Waiting For This Moment" song from when Homura you know, took over the universe. And I played it backwards using https://audioalter.com/reverse/
So um it sounded exactly like another song from Madoka Magica... I remember the music but not the name... If your watching it now just wait a few seconds and you'll see. So am i going crazy or what...
Can someone else listen to the original song, and the reversed theme and tell me if I'm right?
And if they're able to the name of the other song?
(It sounds like it at the beginning-middle the end; i just don't know)
BTW: The two links takes you to a google drive file so your safe :D

Why do the female characters from One Piece have the same skinny hourglass figure?
I've seen various female One Piece characters having the skinny hourglass figure as Eiichiro Oda's art progressed, What is the reason of why these characters have the same skinny hourglass figure?

If you read the SBS segments of the manga, you can get an understanding of why.
It is Eiichiro Oda's preference to draw women with an hourglass figure. Oda has repeatedly dismissed/ignored criticism from female fans for the way he draws women. Oda pretty much demonstrates no understanding of the concerns behind these criticisms and has stated vehemently that he will continue drawing women with the hourglass figure. He often tries to justify his position by saying stuff about the dreams of young boys, as here in volume 78:

D: We realized that Robin has huge breasts.
We checked from the side, and Nami also has huge breasts.
Why do they both have such huge breasts?
And could it be Oda-san's preference?
That was a question from us two 10-year-olds. P.N. Sakucchan &
Yuzu-chan
O: I keep saying this, but I'm just bringing the young boys' dreams to
life! All of humanity on earth! I command your breasts to grow~!

In volume 79, we get this regarding hourglass figures from Oda:

(I only draw this kind of body, so I get a lot of complaint postcards from my female audience. Let's all stay strong and keep on living life.)

Why does Kiki flood the floor of her flat to clean it?
In this GIF from the cleaning montage in Kiki's Delivery Service, she's seen cleaning her flat by flooding the floor and scrubbing it down:

Is this a real way to clean wood flooring? Isn't that damaging to the wood? Wouldn't the water seep through the cracks? Isn't she above the bakery?
These are silly questions to ask but I am curious if this is a real technique or artistic choice of exaggerated animation.

There's a Q&A about this but in Japanese, though I'm still a bit skeptical about their answers without researching further (also, currently I don't have enough time, so anyone feel free to expand the detail from the source if it helps).

There is a trope in anime called "Sprint Scrubbing" where the characters doesn't uses mops to clean the floor, instead uses a wet towel and sprint across the floor to scrub it. Maybe, the floor is pre-wetted for comfortable and smooth scrubbing. This trope is commonly seen in Ghibli movies like "My Neighbour Totoro", "Spirited away" and "From Up the poppy hill".  So, there might be a connection between this action and Ghibli movies.

She is scrubbing the floor.  It is a very common way to clean floors -- a search engine turned up many images showing people doing just this for "scrub the floor." Given that the water is on it only in the short term, the damage is not extensive even over many years.
It can leak, like any other water spill, if the floor is not watertight.

An error in the system of rating heroes in One Punch Man
I think that the rating system of heroes in One Punch Man has an error, what I understood from the anime is that if someone reaches Top 1 in some X-class he will have the option to get into the next class. but if that is true then if this guy agreed, the guy who was in the Top 2 will be now in the Top 1, and he will have the option to switch to the next class as well, and this thing will happen until this X-class run out of heroes, but apparently, this thing didn't happen in the anime.
so is this just some mistake that the author didn't notice or there is something that I'm lacking?

That is a possibility but, in every class most of the Top 1 people will tend to remain in that class in order to try and reign over that class. That is a B class Rank 1 is most likely to flatter himself thinking that he has the potential to be in A class Top 10 and will try to control those who rank below.
If all of the Rank 1 people try to ascend to the next class the the give scenario might be possible and there are no explanations from the author till now.

I think it is to be understood that the hero rankings are periodically revised1, rather than continuously updated. So, the top ranked heroes in each class A–C when the rankings are revised are then given the opportunity for promotion into the next higher class. If a hero accepts promotion, then all the heroes in that class will be bumped up by one rank, but that does not mean that the "new" top ranked hero in that class will also be offered promotion, since he was not the top ranked hero in that class when the rankings were computed in that revision.

1In Season 1 Episode 6, after newly receiving his hero license, Saitama finds out from Genos that a week of inactivity as a Class C hero will revoke his license. So, even if the rankings are not exactly updated every week, the data that determines a hero's ranking seems to be collected weekly.

How is Gilgamesh' summoned at the final battle against Tiamat in the Underworld in Fate/Grand Order - Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia?
When Tiamat attempted to snipe Ritsuka with a long range attack, Gilgamesh blocked it and died to save Ritsuka. Kingu then sacrifices himself to restrain Tiamat with the Chain of Heaven long enough for Ereshkigal to finish moving the Underworld under Tiamat. Ishtar blasts a hole underneath Tiamat, causing her to fall into the Underworld. Later, when Tiamat summons high class Lahmu to fight Ritsuka and his servants while she climbs out of the underworld, Gilgamesh arrives in his servant form to support Ritsuka's team against Tiamat and the Lahmu and uses Enuma Elish later to finish off Tiamat's physical form after Ritsuka persuaded her to give up her Nega-Genesis field to recreate the universe. How was Gilgamesh summoned? I know the real Merlin arrived from Avalon and summoned the Grand Assassin Hassan, but there was no mention of him summoning Gilgamesh in his Archer form as well.

In the game at least, Hassan is there long before Tiamat emerges, and he is not in the Grand class; he's in a regular servant level body.  He's masquerading as an old man in the city and tries to give the MC a lesson in manners (this is all ultimately why one of his nicknames is "Gramps").  It's implied he sort of manifested himself there just so he could have the pleasure and honor of joining the MC's fight, willfully ditching the Grand class for it.  Both Merlin's second appearance and Archer Gil's appearance were waved off as underworld loophole abuses, I think, but not sure.

I remember in the series that Hassan also appeared before, both in Uruk as well as in the underworld:
Initially taking the appearance of an old, bearded vagrant and assuming the name of Ziusudra, he awaits the protagonist in the city of Uruk—apparently to again test the protagonist's character. Subsequently, during the protagonists' exploratory mission to the abandoned city of Cuthah, he intervenes when the protagonist's soul is drawn into the Underworld by Ereshkigal.
https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/First_Hassan#Babylonia:_The_Absolute_Frontline_in_the_War_Against_the_Demonic_Beasts

There are plenty of theories in this reddit thread, though I'm still not entirely sure who is right.. https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/fvsnu9/babylonia_how_was_king_gilgamesh_able_to_summon/

I'll use the F/GO game (English version) for the basis of my answer. I use a somewhat humorous name in-game, so try not to mind that too much.  There are definitely differences with the animation (there's no persuading anything about a nega-genesis whatsit), so it's possible there are differences between them regarding how any given character arrives on a given scene. But supposing we put that aside...The short of the answer is: we don't know how Gilgamesh himself arrived there in Archer form. The longer answer is...
First, (real) Merlin is not the one who summons First Hassan. While Merlin describes First Hassan as being an Ace he's kept hidden up his sleeve, he denies being the one to actually summon him.  Nor was he summoned by Gilgamesh or a (greater) grail.  First Hassan is in fact summoned by the protagonist, albeit without his knowing it.

As I suggested in my comment, this kind of implies that First Hassan kind of summoned himself there so he could fight a Beast, as is the point and calling of a Grand Servant, and to be a Servant to the protagonist.
The real Merlin has arrived by typical Merlin rules-lawyering shenanigans.

Unfortunately, Gilgamesh is even less forthcoming with how he managed to arrive as an Archer class Servant.

When Mash asks/implies that he survived to this point after all, he responds:

And that's all we hear on the matter.  So he broke and bent the rules, using the nature and mechanics of the (Babylonian) Underworld to his advantage.  He does seem to have full memory of his association with the protagonist and Mash.  Nevertheless, it's unclear what has been accomplished here.  He calls himself a Servant, and I think we can trust him on that, so we can rule out that he's simply the human Gilgamesh the story had featured thus far donning a new role.  Perhaps he is a Demi-Servant or Pseudo-Servant, using his own body and/or spirit as the base?  Or, heck, maybe somewhere in that vault he's got a "turn a human/spirit into a Servant" potion or another, and it really is the human (caster) Gilgamesh (or at least his spirit).  It's impossible to say from what we're provided, unfortunately, beyond that it relies in part on some sort of shenanigans involving the rules and nature of the Underworld, and that he is in fact a Servant of some sort.

Thank you @zibadawa timmy, Gilgamesh breaking the rules of the Babylonian underworld as Eresh was busy fighting Tiamat seems like the best guess to me as well. So Gilgamesh' unbound spirit used his physical body as catalyst to summon himself in the underworld. Though I wonder if Gilgamesh (Archer servant) then had to disappear and abandon his rule over Babylonia after defeating Tiamat as there was no master who could supply him with mana anymore.

Question about debt after completion of Liar Game's revival round
There is one thing I am very confused about in Liar Game's revival round (which lasts until chapter 28 in manga).
It is known at the beginning of this game, each of the 9 players receive 1 billion yen. At the end of the game, Nao won the total of 9 billion yen while the rest of the players have zero yen. I know that the loser will have his billion yen spitted equally among 8 players and suffer more debt (totaling 2 billion yen).
As for the rest of the 8 winning players, including Nao, 事務局 will collect their one billion yen. This is where I am confused. All winning players excluding Nao got zero yen in total. Assuming that Nao decided to keep all the money to herself (totaling 7 billion yen), will these 7 players get 1 billion yen debt from this game even though their debt from the second round is gone?
Edit:
I think the answer might be yes...
So after Nao returned 7 billion yen to these 7 players, these 7 billion yen will be used to clear their debt earned from revival round. However, each player still have 1 billion yen debt from the second round (２回戦). Is that true? I read few chapters before that their second round debt will be cleared if they win the revival round and it is not true?

Yes, your understanding is correct. Revival round players indeed suffer debt if their earnings are less than 1 billion yen by the end of game.
Here is the proof from chapter 47

In this panel, you can see that the bandana guy told Akiyama that his debt so far totaled 2 billion yen (1 billion from the first game + 1 billion from the revival round due to Yokoya).

So after Nao returned 7 billion yen to these 7 players, these 7 billion yen will be used to clear their debt earned from revival round. However, each player still have 1 billion yen debt from the second round (２回戦). Is that true?

Yes, take a look at this panel from chapter 48

Akiyama told them that they still have 1 billion yen debt from the second round.

I read few chapters before that their second round debt will be cleared if they win the revival round and it is not true?

I am not completely sure but this is all I can find. Here is the panel from chapter 19

Kikuzawa said that if they win the revival round, his debt will be "cleared." However it doesn't mean his debt will be completely cleared if he wins. Recall what the masked guy said from chapter 7. He told players that when they lose, they are required to return all money to them, even if they will suffer debt from it. So if a player wins a stage and have 1 billion yen debt, 事務局 will not collect their 1 billion yen (this is what "cleared" means) but if they lose, they will be required to pay back 1 billion yen.

How Would Someone Become the king of the pirate?
Can someone become the king of the pirates only by finding the one piece.

You become the pirate king when you reach Raftel.

you mean laugh tale and i don't think thats all you need to do to become king of the pirates

Be the strongest. ( Late Roger was the strongest pirate in his era at peak, Late Whitebeard was the closest to Roger's strength )
Get to the end of the grand line aka Laugh tale. (Roger was the first person to conquer the grandline so he was given nickname "Pirate king".)

Also it is not a title it was just a nickname to separate him from pirates weaker than him.

your answer is nice and all, but it kinda needs sources from the manga/anime.

Can Ace hear the voice of all things?
In One Piece, is Ace able to hear the voice of all things?
I'm asking this question because Gol D. Roger was able to hear the voice of all things and ace is gol.d roger son.And he was able to hear the voice of all things like kokuki oden is showed in episode 969 when he and oden was annoyed

Could you elaborate a bit as to why you believe Ace could potentially hear the voice of all things because Gol D. Roger can?

Which of Naruto's forms are capable of destroying planets?
There are many forms of Naruto, and I know that most of them can destroy a moon, but a moon isn't even close to the size of a planet. At what point does Naruto become powerful enough to destroy planets? I know he could destroy the moon when he was 11 or 12 using Kyuubi mode. I know that at some point in shippuden that naruto can destroy a planet. He just never uses the full extent of this power.

Do you know for certain that Naruto does become capable of destroying an entire planet?

I do in fact know that Naruto eventually reaches that level.

If you've found an answer to your question, please post it as an answer so you can accept it. (It would also be a good idea to include the evidence that led you to this conclusion.)

I won't be able to give all the answers, but nevertheless I'll try-

Jubilo
Jubidara
Kaguya (at any point after absorbing the god tree)
SOSP Sasuke
Indra Mode Sasuke
The Last Sasuke
Boruto Sasuke
KCM2 Naruto
SOSP Naruto
Ashura Mode Naruto
The Last Naruto
KCM 3 Naruto
KCM 4 Naruto
KCM Final Naruto (At this point he could destroy literally anything, he was undefeatable)

Welcome to Anime.SE! The question is specifically about the forms of Naruto Uzumaki himself, not the forms of anyone from Naruto, but I suppose you do deserve credit for going above and beyond what was asked for.

I accept this answer cause it does answer the question but I was only talking about Naruto.

When did Conan first met Haibara's sister?
At the beginning of episode 128, Conan said that he knew Masami, Haibara's sister. However, we have never seen them meeting before, how is that possible?
In the next episode, Masami told her sister that she suspects Conan to be Shinichi. I do not think she would think that unless she knew Conan well.

Akemi Miyano actually was in a previous case, in episode 13, "The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case."
The problem is that the anime didn't do that episode according to the manga, so they had to change some things later to make the show follow the correct storyline.
Here's a summary from Detective Conan World Wiki:

In the manga version of the story Gin and Vodka are the masterminds of the case (rather than Okita), and they end up killing Masami Hirota/Akemi Miyano who informs Conan of the organization's existence and that they dress in black. Her death is the motive of Shiho Miyano's defection which leads to Ai Haibara's appearance later in the series. Furthermore, Shiho makes a silhouetted appearance when Akemi is demanding for herself and her sister to be free of the organization, which is also omitted. To repair the storyline, Episode 128 The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case was written with a similar ending to the manga version.

Why did Captain Charlotte raise her hand for Yuno?
So we know that Blue Rose Knights only works with ladies and not any men.
So why Captain Charlotte raised hand for Yuno during selection for magic knights?

I think you're misunderstanding something--men can join the Blue Rose Knights. It's just very uncommon.
From the Black Clover wiki:

The squad is mostly women, having the sharp motto of refusing the notion of worshiping or idealizing men. ... The few male squad members serve as errand boys. (emphasis mine)

I think that's where the mistake is. Men can indeed join the Blue Rose Knights, but the squad is primarily based and filled with women, and the men are just used as servants/errand boys. Explained above in the wiki, they do not like the idea of praising men. This does not mean they can't join the Blue Rose Knights. There's a few male members that just serve as errand boys for the women in the group.
So, Captain Charlotte raised her hand for Yuno because men can indeed join the Blue Rose Knights. It's just very uncommon, and that's why explained in the wiki quote that few men are in it, but they're just errand boys.

(Someone asked a similar question on the fandom, you can check here for more info.)

But wouldn't it be the waste of potential ,I mean she would only use him as errand boy and his potential would be wasted. This is also unexpected that she only raised her hand for a 4 leaf grimoire holder just so that he can work instead of fighting.

It would indeed. But, they don't like praising men so they just make them servants, if you will. It's pretty stupid when they're much more capable than that. But we can't fault that logic since they generally don't like men lol

Is Tanjiro the only Demon Slayer to sense a "Opening Thread"?
The answer to this question says:

The opening thread defines where is the best place to slash the sword that will behead them in a single swing. The opening thread scene only happens during Tanjiro's fight as it represents the keen sense of smell he possesses. This constantly reminds us how Tanjiro is different from others as others learn to do that through experience and training but he can do it just by sensing it.

From the answer, "Opening thread" determines the angle and position of the sword needed to successfully kill a demon and the experienced demon slayer just learns from experience but Tanjiro has an olfactory ability to sense the "Opening Thread".
This was evident during the battle between Rui and Tanjiro. Tanjiro was struggling to get hold of the "opening thread" and although he managed to behead Rui using Hinokami no Kagura, Rui was surprisingly not dead and he managed to sew himself. Later, Tomioka came and beheaded Rui with no effort whatsoever. So, do experienced demon slayers look for an "Opening thread" or do they just go by intuition? In other words, is Tanjiro the only one who can sense an "Opening thread"?
And how do newcomers determine the perfect slash to behead the head of demons? Is it from their individual ability like Inosuke throwing a full-blown attack while Zenitsu becoming precise in sleep mode?

The story might not explicitly mention anyone besides Tanjiro having the Opening Thread ability (I'm only halfway through the manga so I'm taking @pushkin's word for it in their answer) but I believe it's contextually implied that Urokodaki has this ability.
As you quoted, Tanjiro's Opening Thread ability is enabled by his strong sense of smell. In volume 1, Giyu sends his messenger bird to Urokodaki asking him to train Tanjiro and says:

"like you, the boy has a strong sense of smell. I believe that perhaps
he could be worthy of carrying on your traditions."

Then, when Tanjiro first explains his Opening Thread ability which occurs during his training he says he learned it thanks to his training with Makomo, one of Urokodaki's deceased students who helps train him to cut the boulder as his last test before Final Selection.

Thanks to my training with Makomo I've learned to smell out an "opening thread." That's how I won. When I'm fighting someone and I find that scent, I see the thread.

Thus, while not explicitly stated that Urokodaki has this ability we do know that Tanjiro is Urokodaki's protege, he developed this technique through Urokodaki's (and Makomo's) teachings, and both Urokodaki's and Tanjiro's skills as demon slayers are enabled through the special sense of smell they both share.

Maybe this is more of a comment, or maybe an answer, but a disappointing one, but I don't believe the story every explains this.
I imagine other demon slayers have something similar, or at least some intuition about where to slice the neck, but the story never mentions that anyone besides Tanjiro has this specific Opening Thread "ability."
The Wiki even doesn't have any specific articles about "opening thread."
I guess the audience is supposed to fill in the blanks themselves.

IIRC Tanjiro had a superior sense of smell, thus sometimes being able to "smell" the opening in an enemy, called the "opening thread". We don't have any statistics on the smell proficieny of the other Hashiras to say that they can also use it, but most likely they have something similar from other sense in my opinion.

Is it proven Gogeta is stronger than Beerus?
Commentaries from dragon ball characters many times tell us which character is stronger than others. But sometimes they seem to be wrong or contradict themselves later. With regards to Beerus, in the Dragon Ball Super manga in the times of the battle with Zamasu, it was said by Whis if I recall correctly, that Gogeta might be as strong as Beerus. A lot of battles and training happened since that, several zenkais and Goku and Vegeta got stronger. Now in the Dragon Ball Super Broly movie, it was said by Goku that Broly might be even stronger than Beerus. If Broly is equally or stronger than Beerus, Gogeta has to be way stronger than him, since Gogeta showed to be much stronger than Broly. Is this so? Were Whis and Goku just speculating or are there more clues sustaining the authors intended to assert this?

No it hasn't been proven Gogeta is stronger than Beerus. The only characters who have been proven to be stronger than Beerus are MUI Goku and Limit Breaker Jiren. Firstly, I believe the only character in the series who has the closes idea of how strong Beerus really is would be Whis. Hence, I would mainly be considering statements made by Whis with reference to Beerus's True Power.Whis had said several times that Goku + Vegeta working together would allow them to go toe to toe with Beerus. By Working together, Whis implies fusion. This could mean, Gogeta or Vegito could be potentially strong enough to defeat Beerus or be very relative to him in terms of power at the very least.Another important factor to consider is the time limit for fusion. Considering how powerful Beerus is, the fusion might perhaps not last long enough for Gogeta / Vegito to defeat Beerus.Whis makes another statement in the anime saying that Mastering Ultra Instinct would result in Goku/ Vegeta surpassing Beerus. Whis also says this to Vegeta when he fights Beerus in the manga and loses the fight. This more or less establishes the fact that MUI Goku would be stronger than Beerus.Now with regard to statements made by a few other characters, During the battle with Zamasu, it wasn't Whis but Shin who says that Vegito might be stronger than Beerus. However, I believe the show has demonstrated enough reasons why we shouldn't take Shin's word seriously. For starters, Shin thought SSJG Goku was strong enough to defeat Beerus, he thought SSJB Vegeta was defeating Jiren, Vegeta would struggle against Pui Pui, had no clue of what Ultra Instinct was. The character has been displayed as someone who is very inexperienced and often jumps into conclusions and is in awe of what happens afterwards or is usually corrected or mocked by the Elder Kai about the same. The second comment was made by Goku comparing Broly to Beerus and yes, if that were the case, Beerus would be significantly weaker than a Gogeta or Vegito. While Goku has a much better notion of how strong an opponent is in comparison to Shin, I believe even he might not know the true extent of Beerus's power. For example, Goku was confident he'd be able to defeat Beerus after attaining the SSJG transformation the first time around, that he was using only 80% of his power(Despite Beerus being significantly more powerful in comparison to that). Even in the case of Jiren, the more and more Jiren began to reveal his true power, Goku was in shock. For example, in Episode 123, when Jiren revealed a fraction of his true power, Goku was in such extreme shock that he dropped from his Super Saiyan Blue form to his base form. Even in the case of Frieza, Goku had no idea Frieza was hiding a level of power that high until Frieza revealed his Golden Form to GokuSo in the end, it comes down to whether one thinks Gogeta Blue is as strong as MUI Goku and Limit Breaker Jiren. There is an obvious disagreement between a lot of the fanbase with regard to this and there aren't any statements made in the movie or in Dragon Ball Super to help establish this. However, based on Dragon Ball Heroes at least, MUI Goku was indicated to be more powerful and it is the highest level of power of the MC, it does seem to make sense to me. However, that is up to you to decide.

Given the amount of commentary and effort Whis puts into Goku and Vegeta acting as two separate fighters working in concert to take down an opponent, it is manifest he does not mean fusion but rather old fashioned teamwork.  Especially in the anime, the idea of being able to work together effectively, and the practice needed for it, is constantly hammered on.  17 rejects Gohan trying to improvise combo moves because they're unpracticed; Whis talks about how Jiren is so accustomed to coordinated (group) attacks that he's actually thrown off by Goku and Vegeta not doing that; etc.

Goku thought monaca was stronger than himself as well. At  end of super goku states he cannot achieve that power again, which continues for the brolly movie. He doesnt say his kaoikan x 20, simply regular blue. Golden frieza last an hour, whereas jirens power is overwhelming for frieza. Lastly, if vegito was enough to beat jiren, whis would have suggested it after vegeta knocked out toppo. Whis simply pointed out ui was thier last chance. Jiren is greater than brolly, ui goku greater than jiren.

Its hard to say really. "Official" power levels have been absent since Trunks arrived on earth in DBZ. From that point on, speculation took over and its easy to see why. In all honesty, the numbers were already in the millions and with a long way to go it makes sense they would shy away from finite numbers. They did later release a power level guide but after Trunks' arrival on earth the numbers don't add up. I digress though. As far as Gogeta's comparison to Beerus, I fear it falls into the same category as everything after Namek. Speculation based on character quotes. A lot of things left to interpretation. They changed both fusions for DBS. Potara is no longer permanent but retains the remainder of its definition. Whereas metamoran (fusion dance) got reworked completely.
Beerus did say at the end of BOG that "between the 2 of them, he might have his rival yet". This points toward fusion.
Whis has also pointed out that working together they may be able to beat Beerus, but if they refuse they only way will be mastering ultra instinct.
That being said, there really hasn't been much mentioned in terms of Beerus' full strength. Beerus told Goku he was using 70% of his power, but I believe Whis, later when they were alone, said it'd been a while since he had to use nearly 50% of his power. I could be off, it might have been 40%. Itsbeen a while since I've seen the movie.
Outside of the Gods themselves, only Whis has any idea of what Beerus can do. That being said, Whis doesn't get genuinely surprised by Goku or Vegeta much. In fact, I think that only once each, and that was in the TOP. Vegeta's Limit Breaker and Goku's attempts at ultra instinct. Only one other time has he been surprised, that was in the movie when Gogeta was fighting.
My answer to this is yes. I believe Gogeta is stronger than Beerus. Is he so much stronger that he can defeat him in 30 minutes? Doubtful. He certainly stands the best chance out of fusion options. Some would argue Vegito could, but Vegito would fail spectacularly. His time limit is far too low. He may be close to or on par with Gogeta in terms of strength but Potara's one glaring weakness is that the more power you use, the shorter the fusion. He lasted a whole 7 minutes against Zamasu. Granted Zamasu was immortal, but he wasn't a God of destruction either. Vegito owned him, but it took too much power to do so and he defused. Kefla lasted 5 minutes against the incomplete ultra instinct. Gogeta, at least for the time being based on the movie, gets 30 minutes regardless. That makes him the best option for defeating Beerus.
Kudos to Toriyama and company for staying with the vague definitions on both fusions though. Keeps the debate going on who's stronger but with no finite formula, its all speculation.

I suggest you separate your answer to multiple paragraphs and highlight the main points as one long paragraph is intimidating to read.

I tried to but it put it together anyway. I was a little annoyed by that myself.

@XTalon_XL You need an actual blank line between paragraphs for the system to understand and render them as such.  I've edited these in from where you obviously desired them. Thankfully, it does store it exactly as you typed it up, so a single carriage return is fairly obvious in most cases.

First of all, Gogeta is stronger than MUI Goku and Limit Breaker Jiren because Gogeta is made of Goku’s and Vegeta’s best traits and multiplies it by a lot so any power-up or transformation Goku or Vegeta gets is added to Gogeta. So how could Gogeta possibly be weaker than Goku? Gogeta is probably on par with Whis and Whis is stronger than Beerus.

Power of Ultra Instinct
In the dragon ball universe, there are plenty of methods to significantly boost the power level of the user. We have things such as Potara earrings, Saiyan power-ups, etc. But more recently we were introduced to Ultra Instinct. As this is said to be a form attainable by anyone but mostly used by gods (which is even difficult for them to attain) how strong is it actually? Like how much does it power up an individual that uses it?
This question is mainly based on episode 115 where Goku used Ultra Instinct against Kefla as well as against Jiren in an earlier episode. In SSB form Goku was eventually outmatched even with Kaioken activated. We know for a fact that SS forms basically boost power and speed significantly at the cost of stamina and ki over time. Ultra Instinct is a state of the body, making it respond without having to process the thoughts; making the body capable of an instant perfect reflex to anything.
Goku was able to dodge all of Kefla's attacks which seemed like slow motion to him most likely. But he wasn't powered up. Ultra Instinct doesn't provide ki and such it simply is a state of the body making your reflexes perfect with no time delay. So where does the power output come from? How come his punches and such are stronger with Ultra Instinct compared to all his other forms?
As far as I understand each time he was in his none powered up form, his base form. This means his power level is a lot lower than even kaioken in base form. How come he is capable of having such a damage output? Does this mean a design flaw in Ultra Instinct?
What is the actual power of Ultra Instinct apart from making muscle reflexes perfect?

There is another theory going around for few months that there are two types of Ultra Instincts, defensive and attacking. While Goku is said to have only the defensive half. Also Goku still hasn't fully mastered ultra instinct completely so it is hard to predict full power of ultra instinct

One very important factor which was mentioned multiple times in the episode was that Goku was fatigued. This was mentioned a lot of times by Champa and including Beerus. This is very likely the writers trying to say that if Goku was at full power, he would've been able to face Kefla. So I think one can't jump to a definite conclusion whether Kefla is stronger than SSJB+Kaioken Goku. The last kick landed on him by Kefla was obviously not as strong as her previous attacks so, in other words, you could assume that Goku was extremely fatigued which resulted in him losing his form All Super Saiyan forms are multipliers to the base form. We know for a fact that the SSJG multiplier is superior to the SSJ3 multiplier and obviously, the SSJB multiplier is a lot higher than the SSJG multiplier(Based on Goku's fights with Jiren and Kefla). The multiplier would remain the same whether Goku is fatigued or not but what would change is his initial base power. The UI transformation is also a power multiplier which also makes him reach a state with complete mastery of self-movement. This is because we see Android 17 remark on how goku managed to overcome the drastic power difference and go toe to toe with Jiren. Also, we see Picollo state how he was growing stronger with every blow. Finally, when Dyspo and Toppo attacked, we know for a fact that full power Toppo is superior to SSJB but UI Goku was easily able to push him back and not just dodge his attack. So it is obvious that even the UI transformation acts like a power multiplier. Lets say Kefla manages to achieve Super Saiyan 3 during the course of battle with UI Goku or if we see Jiren fighting seriously at full power against UI Goku, we can gauge it's power. As of now, we don't exactly know how strong the transformation is.

UI being a power multiplier makes sense, since it significantly boost the user it's speed due to perfect reflexes. Kinda off-topic right now but that implies that speed is more important than ki/stamina in the Dragon Ball universe or am I thinking wrong now? Since he was fatigued he couldm't overcome Kefla with stamina and ki alone, but with speed (UI powerup) he turned the tables... from what was shown.

Actually no, UI doesn't actually increase speed, it helps improve reaction time. Goku still has the same speed but he reacts to it an attack a lot faster. This was mentioned by Whis during their training that every part of their body should learn to react on it's own. It's obvious in the dragon ball universe most humans move at superhuman speed(Probably even faster than light). So normally if Kefla were to throw a punch, goku's brain would transmit a signal to his hand which would result in him blocking the bunch. The UI transformations eliminates this process which makes him react faster.

As far as I understood it goku was surprised when she appeared behind him and took a surprise hit. Or did I misunderstand the look on his face (at least in the anime) ?   The stamina thing I understood was only that he won't be able to do kaioken for a prolonged time due to him being out of stamina.

It was mentioned both by Whis multiple times during the tournament of power and even by the old Kai during the Universe 6 vs 7 matches that the SSJB transformations require a lot of stamina. On top of that, stacking kaioken requires even more stamina. If goku had the energy, he could've used SSJB + Kaioken times 20 and destroyed Kefla or even Kaioken times 10 but he couldn't. One good example would be to take the cell saga where gohan's power gets cut in half after saving Vegeta. He was still in his SSJ2 transformation, hence the multiplier stayed intact however, his base power was cut

First of all Ultra Instinct is not a power. It's a state of mind as explained by Whis, which allows to move with purpose, batting away powerful attacks with ease and dodging them effortlessly. This was the introduction of the technique known as Migatte no Goku'i, a.k.a. Mastery of Self-Movement, or Ultra Instinct.
For more information, refer to Wikia.

Ultra Instinct does provide power, but in a different way than just ki increase (which is what Whis alludes to in conversation with the Oracle Fish on Beerus's planet). UI increases your power by removing oneself from the body's self-limitation, allowing one to fight at peak condition beyond the point of their previous limitations… it's like Saitama (from One Punch Man) removing his limiter… meaning, the power that Goku has in SSJ Blue? He now fights beyond that limitation, beyond his body's limitation, which allows him to pull from a deeper well of power than what he was even aware of himself.

I disagree that Ultra Instinct has anything to do with pulling power out of some mystical place in one's body. Thats what the super saiyan transformations are doing and Ultra Instinct is not a SS transformation. Ultra Instinct uses your mastery of fighting to allow your body to fight without the delay caused by conscious action. It appears as a speed increase because the body responds immediately to attacks without any delay. The power gain was because Goku was using his strength more efficiently, like how you can get more pressure with the same energy in a narrow tube than in a wide tank.

I dont agree Ultra Instinct doesnt provide power. Piccolo states that as Goku continues fighting Jiren in Ultra Instinct he keeps evolving, being his punches faster, sharper and stronger.

This state is achieved by breaking the walls of one's limits and
  getting to the deeper potential within. This state while initially
  increasing the user's capacities vastly more than even X20 Super
  Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken, the equally augmented mental parameters allow
  the user to quickly and noticeable imprint on the battle, steadily
  evolving their power and efficiency with each exchange

http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Ultra_Instinct_%22Omen%22

You are contradicting yourself here... strength is a form of power, speed produces more power. Sharper is similar to accuracy which allows you to deliver the full power impact. Making the body itself faster is a power boost. Momentum wise, the higher the speed; the bigger the power.

I see no contradiction. With more power I mean also more strenght. What I wanted to point out is you believe Ultra Instinct doesnt provide ki or power, I dont think that's the case at all. The increase in power of Goku (strenght, energy, etc.) as pointed out by Piccolo, 17, Zeno,etc.  is the result of an increase in ki. In Dragon Ball an increase in ki is an increase in power

BTW, aparently hundreds of fans understood from that episode that Ultra Instict doesnt provide power or ki and it's just about speed and reflexes, but it was also commented by Dragon Ball youtubers that this assumption is wrong. Though I guess you can argue the Youtubers are wrong and not the fans, personally I got the idea that Ultra Instinct increases not only speed and reflexes but ki (and therefore power and therefore strenght) from the Goku vs Jiren episode dialogues

The youtubers simply provide their opinion on what they've seen making it not factual since it's an opinion. In the actual episode it was however said that there was no ki detected from the UI form. Whis explained it as well during the training session where Goku and Vegeta were still aiming for SSB. The example was that his bare feet can avoid poop, but with a shoe on it he can't, because the feet doesn't react to it. I'd honestly believe Whis over ANY youtuber.

Super Saiyan 4 vs Super Saiyan Blue in Dragon Ball Heroes, which transformation is stronger?
Super Saiyan 4 vs Super Saiyan Blue is being reported to appear fighting in Dragon Ball Heroes. Dragon Ball Heroes it's an official non-canon Dragon Ball videogame and manga. Which transformation is stronger?
Note: Before marking the topic as "opinion-based" notice most transformations in Dragon Ball are officially ranked in order of power through the anime, manga, and official guides and websites.
(with the exceptions of Super Saiyan Rage and Legendary Super Saiyan / Super Saiyan Berserker that nobody can assure exactly where they are)
(Oozaru < SSJ1 < SSJ2 < SSJ3 < SSG < SSB / SSRosé < UI)

In Japan, the Dragon Ball Heroes website did a poll on who fans thought were the strongest characters and forms in the game. You can view the same here. As per the source, SSJB Goku is considered to be the third strongest character in the game while SSJ4 Goku is considered to be the ninth strongest character. SSJB Vegeta is considered to be the eleventh strongest character while SSJ4 Vegeta is the seventeenth strongest character on the game. So based on  the poll only SSJB is > SSJ4.However, certain characters in the anime like Whis , Beerus and even Omega Shenron, who are clearly superior to SSJB/SSJ4(In Super, GT) Are a lot lower down the list(Even below Yamcha). So there isn't really a perfect answer to your question.
Final ListTime Breaker Bardock
SSJ4 GT Gogeta
SSJB Goku
LSSJ4 Broly
Darkness Towa
SSJ3 Time Patrol Bardock
Tarble
SSJ4 GT Gohan
SSJ4 GT Goku
Super 17 (18 Absorbed)
SSJB Vegeta
Super Mira
Golden Frieza
LSSJ Broly
SSJ3 Vegetto
Majuub
SSJ4 GT Vegeta
Towa
SSJ2 Teen Gohan
SSJG Goku
Yamcha
Supreme Kai of Time
Syn Shenron
Whis
Runaway Mira
Amond
Resurrected Dabura
LSSJ3 Broly
Omega Shenron
Angered Beerus

I only see listed 1 to 8. How about super saiyan god? Where is it listed?

I updated the answer with the list.

This question might have a new answer soon since it's being announced that in the new Dragon Ball Heroes anime there is going to be a fight between SSJ4 vs SSBlue. Just update the post when it happens and I'll keep the answer marked as accepted.

I think it should be a separate question just like in case of xenoverse,  the level of strength of Xenoverse Characters is obviously different from those in the anime.

It seems to be all different in the different medias.
In the videogame it seems to be as already posted in the other answer.
In the manga Super Saiyan 4 Goku Xeno and Super Saiyan Blue Goku seem to be even, even though Goku Xeno seems to be surprised by the Super Saiyan Blue.
And in the anime, we see

 When Super Saiyan Blue Kaiokenx50 Vegito had an even fight with Cumber base form, Super Saiyan 4 Xeno Vegito seems to be stronger than Super Saiyan 3 Cumber. That would make Super Saiyan 4 way stronger than Super Saiyan Blue in the Dragon Ball Heroes anime

Frieza's whopping power level in the Real 4-D
In a cinematic attraction at Universal Studios Japan, Dragon Ball Z: The Real 4-D, Frieza has shown to have a power level of 5.3 Billion. Does that count as true? AFAIK, during Frieza Saga, 100% Final Form Frieza's power level is only around 120 Million according to this list. Is Toriyama completely ignoring the previous power level or just for advertising purposes?

Remember that Freeza did do alot of training after he was resurected, though i'm not sure what his power levels are in either his pre-gold and post-gold forms

I rewatch it on youtube and realized I missed something. A mysterious guy wished back Frieza with stronger power than Goku, that's why the power level is ridiculous. Ah silly me.

@HappyFace You should flesh that out and post it as a self-answer.

Considering it tells events that never happened in the series, (just as Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo and Krilin figthing Freezer together) , it means it is an official production (officially licensed) but non canon. So the answer is it counts as official but not as canon, it's not a figure which is part of the main storyline.

Does Trunks have god ki already?
In the discussions about Dragon Ball Super, it's always been wonder if Trunks got some level of god ki after transforming into "Super Saiyan Rage" , since there's partially a blue aura and some features of the ki are drawn similar to those of a Super Saiyan Blue and not a regular Super Saiyan. Now in the preview of Dragon Ball Super manga chapter 24, it's been revealed that...

 Trunks became a Kaioshin apprentice and because of the ability of healing people just like Kibito did. We know kaioshin have god ki, does a kaioshin apprentice also have some sort of management of god ki, making Trunks able to have some sort of management of god ki already?

I think it's due to exposure from SSJB Goku and Vegeta and SSJR G/Black Godly Ki, being exposed to that ki for so long in fights may have caused Trunks to "absorb" some of it.
Similar to Vegeta; he acquired the power of a god by himself, which leads to think that he, alongside the other Saiyans, absorbed some of the god ki while doing the ritual to make Goku a god.
It's just a matter of being in the right circumstances to nurture and make something of the god ki.

I think Trunks does have some God Ki. He was the only one who survived the attack from the androids (yeah, it was with Gohan's training but that doesn't matter) and he was the only one who could kill Fused Zamasu. So, it would make sense that he has some God Ki inside him because how come neither Goku or Vegeta could kill Zamasu in his regular form with SSB (being stronger than SSG since its SSG+SSJ)
And somehow, Trunks ends him with the Spirit Bomb Sword. He has to obtain that massive power somehow. And him having God Ki would explain it. Zamasu may be immortal, but, he's not a god. And if his father is ascended pass a SSG, then what says he can't either or at least have the power inside him to do it too?

Recall how Goku had his Super Saiyan God. Although Trunks is Kaioshin Appr. It does not satisfy your question if he has god ki or not.
Having a blue aura before the normal super saiyan aura doesn't mean he got the aura of a god.
To make things simple since I'm watching Dragon Ball Super. Goku needs a combination of 5 people who have the blood of Super Saiyan before he had it so I think Trunks also need that too in order to achieve it.

but your assumption is wrong, because Vegeta didnt need 5 persons to get god ki. Neither Beerus did. BTW, you might want to make visible only to mouse over the part of the text where you are spoiling with the >! tag

Maybe I'm wrong, but SSJ Rage looks a lot like The Legendary Super Saiyan transformation by both Broly and Kale, just lacked the green aura.
Trunks even says in the episode, "If you think my choices make me evil, then that's what I'll be." So he turned to a darker side to fight for his friends. Maybe that's why the aura is different.

Did Trunks SSJ2 become much stronger after the sparring with SSJ3 Goku?
Before Trunks became super Saiyan rage (super Saiyan Hikari), he had a battle where he was able to hold, hit, and take apart Goku Black's super Saiyan rosé from super Saiyan blue Goku. How was this possible? We know by that moment Goku Black's super Saiyan rose was stronger than Super Saiyan Blue Goku, which is a transformation stronger than super Saiyan god, which is a transformation stronger than SSJ3, which is a transformation stronger than SSJ2.
In the manga, Toyotaro made SSJ2 Trunks "mastered" and as strong as SSJ3 Goku, but in the anime, SSJ3 Goku knocked out trunks with one punch(even though Beerus commented Trunks was a good fighter). Did Trunks become much stronger after this, because of a zenkai boost or something? Did his sparring later with super Saiyan blue Vegeta and the mental training he did make his SSJ2 much stronger (to the point where he could fight in SSJ2 against Goku Black SSJ Rosé) or is there any other explanation for SSJ2 being able to fight SSJ Rosé?

Trunks in his SSJ2 state was definitely stronger than Goku and Vegeta SSJ2 in the Buu saga. However, weaker than SSJ2 Goku and Vegeta in super. I would say, his SSJ2 transformation is more or less relative to that of Caulifla's towards the end when she began to master it during her fight with Goku.Trunks attained another transformation called Super Saiyan Rage during the course of battle with Goku Black. This transformation made him strong enough to at least hold his own against SSJR Black and made his power slightly relative to Blue. He easily surpassed SSJ3 Goku at this point. His power would be relative to current Mystic Gohan and Android 17 who are stronger than SSJG and more or less relative to SSJB tier(Not stronger).As for trunks getting stronger,  No, his fight with Goku or Vegeta didn't give him any Zenkai boosts. A saiyan attains a Zenkai boost when he is in a situation where his life is at stake. Goku merely took him out with one shot and Vegeta obviously didn't try to kill his son! The fight against Goku was Super trying to show where Trunks's power stacks up to the Z fighters now, as he hasn't come on for a very long time. His fight against Vegeta, was very likely a throwback to their training in Z and to create a father-son moment between a newly changed Vegeta(In terms of character) and Future Trunks.We know the SSJ transformation is generally caused by rage. We've also seen powerups in SSJ transformations by characters when they are angry or someone's life is at stake. Example: Vegeta in his SSJ2 form against Beerus, Goku in his SSJB form against Black and Zamasu, Vegeta in his SSJB form against G.O.D Toppo. Trunks similarly, attained a very powerful rage transformation in this manner.

Well, he was in a rage. It has been seen in the anime and movie (Battle of Gods), that when a Saiyan is enraged, their power increases manifold, usually you can understand it like the Hulk. We see Vegeta, in SSJ2 form, beat up Beerus for some time, and although Beerus wasn't serious, that's still an amazing thing to pull off.
So it is plausible to assume that in the moment of his enraged anger, he for some time, became stronger than Super Saiyan Blue.

Is there a version of the Black Moon Clan arc saying the Moon Kingdom were extraterrestrials that used biological engineering to create humans?
I have read on a forum that, during the Black Moon Clan arc/second season of Sailor Moon, it's revealed that humans were created by the Moon Kingdom using biological engineering and that the Moon Kingdom wasn't from Earth, but came from elsewhere in space.
Is that true? And if it's wrong about when that reveal happened, is there any continuity in which this reveal occurs?

Your edit to the title has just made the title more confusing. You're asking whether there's an adaptation of the Black Moon Clan arc, in any continuity, that reveals that humans were created by the Moon Kingdom using bio-engineering?

@F1Krazy - I see that edit! The "Moon Kingdom is aliens, aliens that created humans" is also important, so gonna use your edit as a base...

How come when Dio stops time Jotaro can move but Dio can't when Jotaro stops time?
In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Jotaro seems able to move even while Dio stops the time. On the other hand, Dio can't when Jotaro stops the time.
Why?
Source: DIO's World, Part 3 (DIOの世界 その3, DIO no Sekai Sono San) the forty-seventh episode of Stardust Crusaders

Jotaro planned to stop time when the limit of DIO's time stop was finishing.
This happened when Jotaro did the finishing blow after he survived the road roller attack.
And when DIO stopped time, Jotaro can't use the ability but can feel the situation in this case of "time stop world", but when he can move, Jotaro can trigger the ability while he is in DIO's stopped time by use his time limit between DIO's stopped time and the end of it triggering.
He basically counters DIO's stopped time.

Actually, you don't need to think so hard to understand it. Just consider Jotaro fighting Dio at the start, where Dio throwed knives at Jotaro. Jotaro uses his time_limit(Capacity in seconds to stop time) and can't move after it, until time resumes again. This same applies to Dio, he can't stop time again until time resumes.

I think Dio can't move in Jotaro's stopped time after the Road Roller attack because he already used up his stopped time.
I assume Dio would actually be able to move in Jotaro's stopped time if he didn't already use up all his stopped time during the Road Roller attack before, but since that's the only time Jotaro uses his stopped time during the battle against Dio we can just assume that he would be able to move in that case.

DIO actually can move in Jotaro's time stop. While DIO was counting after nine thinking his time stop ability was improving, he was actually using his time to be able to move in Jotaro's timestop which is three seconds. That's why he stopped at 11 seconds before he couldn't move.

Remember when DIO started blabbering about "STANDO POWER" after using the road roller? That was already in Jotaro's time stop, so it's not that he couldn't move, it's that he wasted his movement with the monologue.

The reason Dio couldn't move was because he used up his time to move unconcsiously to gloat, classic Dio. After the road roller attack, he stopped and gloated for a bit while Jotaro stopped time.
