Who names the powers of Mangekyō Sharingan?
Considering that Obito, Kakashi and Madara all knew the name of Kamui without someone telling them, can we conclude that those who have the Mangekyō Sharingan know the name of its exclusive power? (Obito's Kamui, Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, Itachi's Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, Sasuke's Amaterasu and Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi, and everyone's Susanoo)

Feel free to ask the other question in a new question.

That's OK. I'll do it later. This one comes first.

Don't lie... you are really Obito aren't you? We already know the real Madara Uchiha here...

You got me... Guess I'll go home then... :(

Anybody know anything?

My guess is that it's mostly laziness on the part of the writer; they wanted it to be consistent, and the easiest way to do that is to just have everyone use the same names for things, even if there's no logical way for them to know.

@Madara The best I can do is speculate that some eye abilities are hereditory.  That is why both Sasuke and his brother have the black flames.  Some great great grandfather of Obito who was a contemporary or predecessor of Madara had a simular ability with the same name.  They know the name because they have at least a limited memory of decriptions of the ability.  Unfortunately it does not appear the name is merely descriptive as "fire ball" or "interspacetravellythingy" would be.

That would be totally wrong since Amaterasu was passed down to Sasuke by his brother as pointed out by Madara when he explained the truth of Itachi to him. Also, there were only few people who awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan throughout the history. I still think those who have the power will realize what its original power's name is as they will have the say it (even sometimes involuntarily) when using it.

Who got them first name them first, other follows theory.

On Kakashi's first encounter with Tobi (without knowing he is Obito), he thought to himself "His Mangekyo Sharingan's ability is the same as my Kamui" and no one told Madara the name of Kamui when he used it and said the name...

@Madara I didn't catch that... thanks.... that means we are back to bad writing...

What part did you miss exactly my friend? That's the original question expressed differently... Forget this comment. I asked if anyone knew the answer to the question.

Yes, only the ones with the Mangekyō Sharingan know the names of their techniques.
Taking an example, Obito and Kakashi had Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan. And they had the same Mangekyō technique (Kamui). Considering that Kakashi and Obito never saw each other or trained together after they awakened the Mangekyō, it is not a coincidence that both call their technique "Kamui".
In raw terms (sorry for the bad example), consider the Mangekyō Sharingan as a system, and it has two processes: A.exe and B.exe (the Mangekyō techniques). The two processes are already named, installed and stored in the system. And for the user to access it, all it needs is the fulfilment of the system requirements (loss of a loved one). So, when the uses has access to the processes, they naturally will know what to call it, since its already named and stored.
I hope this answers how the users know the names of their MS techniques. Nothing can be said about how the MS techniques are named because the current level of evidence is inconclusive.

About that last comment, when Madara tried to take away his Rinnegan from Obito, Obito used Kamui to get intangible, this surprised Madara and he said: "I passed through you. That's you right eye's original ability." Also, he heard Obito/Kakashi say "Kamui" when trying to take Naruto and Sakura to the other dimension...

Oh I didn't know about that. Thanks for the info. Answer updated :)

How do holograms damage players in Yu-gi-oh?
I mean the damage done outside duels with supernatural elements or with some device that causes the players to get damage.
Even in normal duels the holograms cause some damage to the players, although one far from a serious one, which looks pretty dumb, as an hologram in reality is not going to hurt you in any way.
As far as I know first 4 seasons of Yu-gi-oh only show holograms, this changes in the 5th season as solid things are created from the holograms, so in this one it makes sense that they could hurt, and I don't know for the sixth one as I didn't watch it yet.
Is it ever explained how holograms cause damage to the players?

IIRC, it was called Darkness Duel, where the players plays using the power of darkness to deal damage to the opponent. In other words, it is by the power of black magic, curse, stuffs like that.

As I'm telling it happens even in normal duels, for example, among a lot others, this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fKwtB4Pn10 is a normal duel where we can see that due to holograms they can be sent to the ground or that they put faces that indicate a little pain.

In the manga, Kaiba created Battle Boxes which used Solid Vision to enhance Duel Monsters and made a deal with Industrial Illusions to produce them.
During Death-T (Death Trial), a series of games which Kaiba created to test Yugi, Kaiba used Battle Boxes, to create holograms of the monsters Summoned in Duel Monsters and Capsule Monster Chess. Whoever lost a game, would be subject to the Illusion of Death by virtual reality. He tested this version of Penalty Game on human subjects, finding that the average person went insane after ten minutes of the torture. Which explains how Solomon Mutou was hurt in the manga when Kaiba forced him to play against him.
In the anime, Dueling Arenas were used instead of Battle Boxes and Death-T did not happen.
In the anime, Kaiba was still responsible for the creation of the Dueling Arenas. Throughout the series it is implied that the monsters that are summoned are not just a hologram projections but Solid Visions. This implies that there is some kind of artificial mass that is formed behind the projection. How Kaiba managed to achieve this, is not explained in details, but it is implied that he programmed the dueling system to simulate combat damage, which explains why when monsters attack, there are shock waves that are felt in the air, and why when direct attacks are made on the players, they are pushed and sometimes even physically hurt. This can explain why Solomon Mutou was hurt during his first duel with Kaiba in the very first episode of the anime. Even though direct attacks where not in the rules of the game back then, the shock waves from the attacks between the monsters could still be felt in the air. And the psychological shock of seeing solid vision monsters for the first time, took their tool on the fragile body of Solomon Mutou, who was at that point, a retired old man. In the episode where Kaiba received Obelisk the tormentor from Ishizu, he decided to test the might of the god card while also testing the new dueling disk with the updated game rules. The scientist working for Kaiba, expressed concern about the decision to include direct attacks in the rules, since the solid vision combined with the combat simulation could really hurt the players who participate in the duel. This is shown in the same episode when Kaiba summons Obelisk and uses it to destroy the Blue eyes ultimate dragon, while also dealing 4000 points of damage to the duel bot. The shock from that attack, destroyed the machine. However, if Kaiba didn't summon Obelisk to win the game, he might've been injured by the attacks of the Ultimate Dragon which the duel bot was using against him. The japanese version of the anime, does a better job than the dub version, in explaining how the monsters could push and hurt the players. I guess the real questions to ask here are, how come no one sued Kaiba for creating a technology that can physically damage people and advertise it for a game of cards. And why did kids where given access to posses such a dangerous piece of technology. :D But I guess someone has to write that question and I will do my best to give the best logical answer to that.
I hope my answer was helpful and fun to read. :)

There are holographic technologies that allow you to "touch" holograms using a machine that applies pressure to anything that touches the hologram.
Maybe the machines Kaiba made with the colourful lights, are able to do that, in a minor scale that is not harmful.

My best guess is immersion, like if you're playing a vr game and you're about to get attacked or something and flinch a bit, let's be honest here though it's just to make the duels dramatic. (I'm talking about the first and second series')

It is called solid vision.
They are not exactly holograms but more like an actual things with conscience  as you can see the characters interact with them quite often.
In DSOD we see Kaiba implementing a much more realistic,powerful version of it.
But honestly,they never explained how it works.
In Arc-V too this can be seen.

How was Heathcliff able to use the 'assist mod' mid-battle?
Heathcliff explained to Kirito that he had to engage the system’s assist mod when defending (against Kirito's attack) because he's (Kirito) so fast. But how was he able to automatically access it? I know that he is the GM but we’ve seen that even GMs have to either utter a voice command or navigate through the menu in order to instruct the system.

I can’t help but speculate that perhaps he had trained to control it in the same way that fairies in Elfheim Online can control their wings without a virtual joystick—by training himself to manipulate the controls as if he had an extra limb. I don’t remember this even being explained in the light novel.

I think the reason why Heathcliff was able to do so lies in the fact that NerveGear works by scanning the brain wave. It receives input by reading the brain wave as the person equipping it thinks about something. For example, when we talk, the words are formed in our mind and the brain sends pulses to our mouth and voice cord to produce sound matching the words formed. This pulses is what the nerve gear receives as input, and at the same time, prevents the actual organ from receiving it.
It is possible that for his account, he has a feature where he can activate or deactivate game feature simply using his mind. That is, he can command the system by thinking about it. No need for him to think of moving his hands and access the control panel.

The reason is actually simple if you understand a very important explanation and demonstration from Yui, in the anime Epsidode 12, Yui's Heart.   To explain what is happening, Asuna and Kirito meet and adopt a young stranger girl who seems alone wandering through a forest, and they choose to take her in and nurse her back to health hoping she would awake from a big collapse in the middle of the forest, as in the episode prior, episode 11, the girl of mountain dew, Kirito and Asuna immediately after witnessing her fall and being passed out automatically have their emergency and game analysis of every possible conceivable reason for her to be there alone, too young for a normal player and the big clue of no cursor which every player always has no matter their circumstance not show.  So she of course surprises them with a healthy dose of amnesia when finally awaking, and it's bad enough to basically not have her remember her lifes entire past.  Parents, age, the most basic person with amnesia still knows  that and she was to Quota asuna like a blank slate, even affecting her vocabulary and her learning of language. But the point to take away is that this situation was a first to give off too many flags that it should have called their suspicion of the icon even harder consering it was made to be a major notification.   And it was clearly noted that she had to have barely been playing  because of the comments on her gear and the way Kirito mentions she must not have been in any fights.  Jumping ahead to conciude the next day they quest together and find a floor boss not expecting one and seeming to Kirito to be likely the highest level boss they've seen so far and krito and asuna were trapped with the option to fight and die or just get killed. Getting nearly a death blow blocking one attack Yui who was hiding comes out, seems to act like a normal human, but then confronts the boss head to head, magically sunnons a sword thats on fire and does a super high jump skull splitter taking it out.  We find out she is AI..  AI is a program.  Everything that is run in Aincrad has something to run it.. mentions are what the bosses drops,etc etc... Basically everything that makes the world aincrad, it is all controlled by a sydttem  a computer system, or you can say an AI.   This AI is the famous Cardinal System you hear so much about but don't really get to understand.  You find out Yui is an AI, she is given specific privileges as that Pegram  and had general Admin access to the system.  That's a lot of privileges.  So what she did on her own with no need for any assist needs was not mutter words or anything and have a superior weapon be given to her and she gained the immortal object foecedield on demand preventing an attack to touch her yet never made specific sudo instructions to do so.   The commander is able to use the system to pick and choose who he wanted to paralyze easily, although it seemed like he used an assistant remote control to help him make changes to his world he made.  That should be enough to show that you like both Yui and healthcliff  as we learned both uses the system assist mode, which just seems to give them invincibility. and remove it on demand.  also as it was the cardinal system that granted those rights, both had Admin access which meant they had control to manipulate the system to do whatever they wanted the cardinal to do.  and the final instruction to self destruct and erase the world was an opinion that was one of who knows how many commands are possible.   So human or  no human (meaning no nerve gear) Both effectively used the cardinal system very effectively to eliminate the problems that they each had to use.  They needed to be Admin.  And 2mwe find out that the AI Yui can summon weapons and take a direct hit with no damage by having some kinda foecedield.  Both seem to have their defense kick in automatically.  Only Yui seemed different summoning an item. you do login into the game.  heathcliff probably had an admin account. he used privls by using his hand console.  he could have like mentioned in other boss battles had it automatically control for him.  Yui didn't need any hardwar3  She's a computer.  she tells of give Admin privs on day one.   apparently you just have to need to know how it works.

Does Mine die in Akame ga Kill! manga?
I have watched all the anime episodes and Mine dies in episode 22.
Does she die in the manga as well? I read the last few chapters of the manga where Tatsumi speaks about her like she is not dead.

I thought I'd add this bit of information: The anime deviates a lot from the manga after Shura (the minister's son) makes his appearance.

Yes. I read the manga and its a lot different. But they did not have to end the anime so brutally. I hope it does not happen in the manga.

No, she didn't die in the manga. However, in order to defeat General Budo, she used all her power in the final attack with Pumpkin and fell in a vegetative state as a result.
This happened in Chapter 56:

In the last chapter (Chapter 78),

 she's shown to regain consciousness after Tatsumi's return from the battlefield. It is also mentioned that they had children and lived a gentle and peaceful life.

Good to know. In this anime, when I start liking a character, they get killed.

Do you think there will be a remake?

I don't think so: it's quite uncommon for a series to have a remake when it was already given an alternative ending (The only example I know in which this happened is Full Metal Alchemist)

How does Near prove that Light is Kira by seeing Kiyomi's name in Teru's death note?
Both Teru Mikami and Light Yagami write Kiyomi's name in their death notes the only difference being the time of death they specify. But in what way does this help Near to prove that Light is Kira?

This was a page from Teru Mikami's death note shown by Near to Light.
Does Near identify that Kiyomi died a minute earlier than the time specified by Teru?

Showing Kiyomi's name written in the notebook doesn't help Near proves that Light is Kira. Instead, it helps Near explains how he win by realizing the possibility of a fake notebook, which he previously not realize and would have lead to Light's win.
Here is the conversation on Anime:

Near: "On the 26th, after the report featuring Takada's kidnapping, Mikami
  headed for the bank."
Gevanni: "According to my investigation, Mikami only goes to the bank on the 25th of every month.  For someone as punctual as Teru, going to the bank twice in two days is pretty unusual. I followed him as he headed
  for the deposit box. I was able to get into the deposit box, and
  inside, was the real notebook, with Takada's name written in it."
Near: "Even though you could kill someone with a piece of the note, you
  weren't aware that Mikami had done something on his own. It was then
  that I realized the possibility of a fake notebook."

P.S.: The detailed (i.e., time specified) written by Light and Teru doesn't matter here since both match with how Kiyomi died.

This is infact the correct answer. Building on this. The kiyomi explanantion followed when Light was confused why Near and others were alive. Near proved conclusively Light is Kira by showing everyone how Mikam wrote everyone's but Light's name in the notebook. Since Light's name was not written, logically it follows that he is Kira.

Fact 1: Death Note exists.
Fact 2: Mikami wrote Kiyomi's name.
Fact 3: Kiyomi died.
Fact 4: There are more than 1 Kira.
Fact 5: First Kira was a student.
Fact 6: First Kira lived in Kanto area.
Fact 7: Light lived in Kanto area and was a student when Kira first surfaced.
Fact 8: The Kiras are working together.
Was Light Kira? Possibly yes considering the facts above.
Is it definite that Light was Kira? No. It could have been another student and it was Mikami who wrote the Kiyomi's name (IIRC piece of death note Light used to write Kiyomi's name was never discovered).
Fact 9: Light said, "victory is mine".
Fact 10: Light's name is the only one not written on the Death Note by Mikami Teru.
Fact 11: Mikami Teru has the Shinigami Eyes.
Fact 12: Mikami Teru called Light "God".
Is Light Kira? Yes, definitely.
So, it's not directly because Takada Kiyomi's name is in Teru's Death Note. It's because Mikami called Light "God" and Light's name being the only one not written in the Death Note.
Takada Kiyomi's wikia entry said that

Kiyomi is forced to commit suicide by fire (presumably using the fuel
  in Mello's motorcycle and equipment), burning herself, Mello's body,
  her belongings, and everything around her.

This is exactly like what was written by Mikami Teru in Death Note hold. This means that Mikami Teru has the same power as Kira and can be considered as one. Whether Light wrote Kiyomi's name in his own Death Note or not does not matter, because it is impossible to determine time of death down to the minutes unless you are there at the scene.

However, it is utterly impossible to fix the exact hour and minute
  that life ceased unless you were there at the moment of death.

What matters is that Mikami Teru wrote Kiyomi's death and cause of death and it conforms to the her death. Mikami also write down the names of those in the warehouse, all except Light's name. Why would a Kira let one person stay alive? Because that one person is also a Kira, which is confirmed by Mikami calling Light "God"

In actual Light have killed Kiyomi.
For reference, http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Kiyomi_Takada

 "After killing Mello with the piece of the Death Note, her name is written into the Death Note by Light, using a piece hidden in his watch."

Also if you want to know to know exactly how near got to know about kira you can take a look at , How did N come to the conclusion that Light Yagami was Kira?
At the time when Light have written the name Light have written the name of Kiyomi, Teru had also written thinking that Kira is in some kind of constraints and it his duty take care of Kiyomi so that nothing is compromised.
However from this Near didn't proved that Light is Kira. It was just to make Light realize where the things went wrong. It was because this mistake that the Near's officer get to follow Teru and end up obtaining the death note and from there everything went to south for Kira.

But in the anime, Teru Mikami writes in the death note that kiyomi would die by burning herself in 2:33

See the edited question. I have added a picture to prove my point.

@AdityaDev, I got ur point. Check the edited answer.

No. It was after near got teru's real note that he found out kiyomi's name.

Yaa, but there is some time gap between her actual time of death and the time written in teru's death note book.

Can someone explain about the attendance record in "Another"
In 1996, Mami Asakura was the extra student. She was also a student of 1993 (and she died that year). When she joins Yomiyama Junior High, Her name from the 1993 record disappears and everyone who knew her, loses their memory about her. After she disappeared, her name from 1996 record gets erased and it reappears in the 1993 record.  Am I correct?
Also, will her friends remember that she was in 1993?
How did chibiki identify that Mami Asakura was the deceased if a person's memories are altered?

If i remember correctly it's when the Catastrophe ends (either the Extra dies or all the deaths have occurred) all the records and memories are restored. i would assume Chibiki noticed a discrepancy (a student who died who cane back 3 years later) but wasn't able to confirm it until Mei saw the colour of death around her in the photo (i think that was then they realized that they could use Mei to id the Extra by looking for the person who had the colour of death)

Yes, you are correct. After the calamity ends, the records are restored (even photographs), and some (maybe all, maybe none) of the memories.
Tatsuji keeps careful records of all classes 3-3. Since he reveals the truth about Mami in 1998, the data was already restored.
It is not shown, but he probably also tracks the deaths.
It is not shown if Tatsuji's memories were erased or not.  We know that the records both written and graphical (photographs) are edited and the extra removed - and later repositioned - name and image. But the memory of the calamity is not erased. People know that deaths occured. For someone tracking the calamity for as long as Tetsuji, and that know of the phenomena around the extra's records could spot a blank where something should be there. The calamity does not prevent discovery of the extra through sleuthing.
He could restore the information by crossing data from the records. The "extra" would be evident because there is no enrollment papers, no admission exam score, etc. Also the duplicate name.
As people remembering, it is blurry. People involved in a calamity class usually die or won't want to remember or keep themselves involved with the school.
So probably when Mami returned (or anyone else, for that matter) nobody that once knew her in life was there to remember.

So when the extra joins class 9, the name gets added to the record and when the extra dies, it's removed. Tatsuji identifies this. Is that correct

@AdityaDev it is class 3-3, not nine. They tried to rename it several times, but to no avail.

Is Doflamingo blind in one eye?
There's a theory about that Doflamingo wears his iconic glasses because he's blind to his (IIRC) left eye. It was assumed because whenever his eyes were shown (quite rarely), it was actully always only the left one.
Is there anything we can know about it in canon? Any kind of disease of injury that would possibly, even theoretically justify it?

Where did you read about this theory?

@MichaelMcQuade I can't really define an exact place, I read sources almost randomly, usually on Facebook and in the relevant sub of Reddit.

there's no mention of scar on Flamingo Eye on his wiki page. . . .

@NamikazeSheena I'm not necessarily implying a scar, but as I said, there's one eye that has never ever been shown,

I think the simplest answer to this question is No. There is nothing in canon that signifies Doflamingo missing an eye. This is just one of the many unproven theories, something a series as vast as One Piece would be cursed with. Unless Oda clarifies, the answer stays no.

This theory is based on the glimpses of Doffy's childhood we get. While strung up one of the methods of torture mentioned involved blinding someone. The next panel shows an arrow being shot towards Doflamingo. We then suddenly get an image of two eyes as he wakes up, one without shades and one with shades with a reflection of fire in them.
But note that Doffy's eyes are covered with cloth while he's strung up. So that may not be his shades at all, but a symbolic representation. Considering his next action is to remove his shades, while clearly in distress, it's theorized that arrow hit it's mark and Doffy lost an eye that day.

Since the question I discussed this theory many times with many people who know this theory. Our conclusion is that is heavily implied and believable and would add a lot to Doffy's actual power, but as long as canon doesn't prove it, it stays as speculation.

I guess i can assume that it is somehow of a correct theory, since in Doflamingo's past (as a little kid) you could see an arrow heading his way in the reflection of his sunglasses, as if they were heading for his left eye.
But if it even struck him is unknown.

If you could include the actual moment where this happened (chap num/page num | picture) this would actually be a good answer.

What SAO spin-off had a female character that resembled Kirito?
I know it was a Sword Art Online spin-off.

There was Asuna and Silica in their SAO avatars.
They meet a "Kirito".
That "Kirito" turns out to be a female player.(like reverse of Kirito's GGO avatar)
She is a fan of Kirito
I think it takes place inside Aincrad in ALO and before Kirito transfer his ID to ALO again.

Anyone know the title of this spin-off?

The spin-off you're looking for appears to be Sword Art Online: Girls Ops
This manga follows Leafa, Silica, and Lisbeth through a story that takes place both in the real world and in the new ALO1.
They do indeed meet a player that they first think is Kirito, but it turns out is a female player that dual wields out of admiration of Kirito. She says that she thinks fate made her character look like that.
From Sword Art Online - Girls Ops Volume 01 Wikia:

She then told the other girls that her name was Kuro and that she took her name from Kirito's nickname, «The Black Swordsman» (黒の剣士, Kuro no Kenshi?). Kuro then explained that she took up a dual-wielding style out of admiration of Kirito

Niiice~ thank you~ And how come Pina exist inside ALO ? or is it different dragon?

No problem. Your question isn't related so if you'd like to you can post a new question about that ^^

What is Requirement to Unlock [Unique Skills]?
According to Kawahara Reki there supposed to be 10 [Unique Skills] on Sword Art Online. I know few of them.

Dual Blades = Player with Fastest Reaction speed.
Holy Sword = Strongest Player (GM giving himself the strongest player title)
Darkness Sword = Highest Player Killing count.

All [Unique Skills] should be rewarded after Floor 90. What are other [Unique Skills] and requirement to unlock it ?

i think the part about all the Unique Skills being awarded after Floor 90 is only because after Floor 90 Kayaba had planned to reveal that he was Heathcliff and more than likely give up his unique skill going to the next strongest. also could you state where you got the requirement for the Darkness Blade from? on the wikia which lists some of the skills only Duel Blades and Holy Sword have their listed requirements

no, i think he would lead frontliners as Heatcliff untill Floor 100 where there was no town, no dungeon, no mobs, only single throne in the middle of white boss room, then he will walk calmly leaving all frontliners to sit on that throne, and  said "Welcome" in a tone befitting of a God.

and Darkness Blade requirement is from some interview with Kawahara-Sensei, i`ll look for it again.

here it is interview translation

no Kayaba said on Floor 75 that his original plan was to reveal himself before the 100th floor but i think he said it was Floor 90 he would reveal himself but i know he defiantly wasn't waiting until floor 100. in the grand scheme of things if he waited till the very last moment he would have the unfair advantage of knowing everyone skills up until that point which would kinda contradict what the wikia says about him having a level of honor and fairness

pffft , what honour , when pvp againts Kirito for the first time he  admitted using System Assist Mod. . . .

well the Wikia, and Kayaba, did say that Duel Blades was meant for the person who was to face him on the final floor (along with fastest reaction time). thinking on that it would explain why he wanted Kirito to use his Duel Blades in the Duel and seeing how he almost lost he had Kirito loose as to make him join the Guild so he could be there when Kayaba revealed himself.

Thats it, someone has really got to make this into a first person MMO (whether or not it's on Rift or Vive....lol)

Up until now, only 2 [Unique Skill] have been mentioned in the story:

二刀流 (Dual Blades): fastest reaction speed
神聖剣 (Holy Sword): strongest player

However, according to a web-anquette interview (cannot find the original source),

Q...他にユニークスキルなど考えてましたか？
  A...90層以降、更に８種のユニークスキルがアンロックされる予定だった。『暗黒剣』『抜刀術』『手裏剣術』『無限槍』など……デザインに苦労したんだが……。
Q...Have you thought about the other [Unique Skill]?
  A...Above Floor 90, 8 more [Unique Skill] have been planned to be unlocked. Examples are (see below), but there were troubles about the design...

暗黒剣 (Darkness Sword): highest PK count (if-situation at floor 95, Kirito vs PoH)
抜刀術 (Swordsmanship)
手裏剣術 (Shuriken Technique)
無限槍 (Infinite Spear)

Note that since they are still in planning, the real [Unique Skill] might be different.

Which character names come from Spanish words?
Recently, it's been revealed that the god of destruction from universe 9, the dwarf-like one is named Sidra which comes from the Spanish name for cider. My question is: are there any other characters in the Dragon Ball universe with a Spanish name?

The fan wiki for Dragon Ball has a page where they've compiled a list of origins for character names in the Dragon Ball universe.
This page lists three with connections to Spanish.

Pan

Pan means "bread" in both Spanish and Japanese, which may continue the food theme of Gohan's family.

Chi Chi

Japanese for "milk" (which also refers to breasts by extension and are a slang term for breasts in Latino Spanish). Named like this because her father is the Ox-King.

Salza

The English verbal translation is a pun on the Spanish sauce "salsa".

I'm doubtful the first two were intentional, since the Japanese word for bread being the same as the Spanish word is merely a coincidence, and Chi Chi being a slang for breasts also seems very coincidental.

Which episode does Sakura tell Lady Tsunade to not to overestimate Shikamaru?
I am looking for the episode in which Sakura tells Lady Tsunade to not overestimate Shikamaru. In reply, Tsunade tells her that she might have underestimated him and shows her a letter from the feudal lord of the land of fire.

If your question is answered please mark the answer as accepted.

Naruto Shippuden episode 87 shows conversation of Sakura and Tsunade about Shikamaru.

How can Pikachu speak now?
In this clip from the new movie I choose you, it appears that Pikachu speaks natural language.
There is a clip of it in English on YouTube (speaks around 35 seconds)
I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm interested to know how is the ability to speak explained? I remember that there was one time where the Unowns were dubbing the Pokemon, is this something similar?

Not writing as an answer since I haven't seen the movie as well. However, this scene has been controversial as reported by the Guardian. Not so much in Japan though. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/nov/14/pokemon-fans-shock-pikachu-speaks-english-movie

Apparently, Pikachu also speaks in the original Japanese release (just FYI in case you want to generalize this question), and... yes, it confused some of the viewers too.

@AkiTanaka Thanks that makes sense, went ahead and did that.

By "unknowns" do you mean "Unowns" (Pokémon #201)?

@senshin Yep sorry! My phone changed that on me and didn't even notice xD

@SecretEvilRadio Thanks, I changed it out. Probably will continue to get removed, if so I'll probably just remove the reference to YouTube. In the future feel free to edit it if you'd like :)

I think basically only the trainer, or someone VERY familiar with said pokemon can understand the pokemon. An example is in the clefairy/mt.moon episode, Pikachu tries to tell ash something and then someone (I forget who) says "You can understand what he's saying?" to which Ash replies "Of course I can! He's MY pokemon."

I watched the movie (English-dubbed). The movie gives no explanation of why Pikachu is suddenly shown speaking a human tongue.
However - and this is just my impression - I don't think that Pikachu actually did speak a human tongue here. The astute Pokémon-watcher will recall that there are many scenes in the anime where a Pokémon is able to convey complex thoughts to its trainer just by making its species' noises. This happens particularly often with Pikachu/Ash.
So this scene felt to me more like a "translation convention" for the benefit of the audience, who, unlike Ash, cannot understand what "pika pi pikachuuuu pika" means. Typically, when the audience needs to be apprised of what Pikachu is saying, Ash will reiterate what Pikachu supposedly said to him (you know, along the lines of "What's that, Pikachu? Team Rocket's giant Meowth-shaped balloon is over thataways?"). But I think that approach wouldn't have worked very well in this particular scene, so we get Pikachu "speaking" a human tongue instead. This works fine here, because the only character who witnesses Pikachu's "speech" is Ash, who would understand Pikachu just as well even if Pikachu were speaking Pikachu-ese.
As supporting evidence, I note that Ash doesn't seem even mildly surprised by this turn of events, which suggests to me that Pikachu was still speaking Pikachu-ese at him. (Though, I suppose, he might have had other things to worry about, like the gang of mind-controlled Pokémon that are about to beam-spam him out of existence.)

To what degree does Vados say Kale and Caulifla's power increases when fused?
In this video with Spanish subtitles about Kefura's fight vs Goku, Vados says:

her power (the power of Kale and Caulifla fused) isn't the double, it is at least ten times bigger.

Video 1
However, in this other video with english subtitles, about Kefura's fight vs Goku, Vados says:

.. and their power increases tens of times.

Video 2
What did Vados truly say in the original Japanese dialogue? Is it what the Spanish subtitles say or is it what the English subtitles say?

What Vados said was:

数{すう}十{じゅう}倍{ばい}にも膨{ふく}れ上{あ}がります (Sū jū bai ni mo fukureagari masu)

which literally means (something) will expand tens of times.

I have other questions about japanese here, can you answer them?

@Pablo Sure go ahead. I will do my best.

I mean, as questions here in anime SE https://anime.stackexchange.com/search?q=user:3028+[japanese-language]

It needs to be pointed out that what Vados said is completely inaccurate and was a flaw from the writers contradicting facts stated before and what Vados said can easily be debunked. Vados stated that the transformation made the fusion (several 10s of times stronger), which absolutely doesn't make sense. As this would imply that the fusion is even weaker than SSJ2 Caulfila because it has been confirmed that the SSJ2 transformation is beyond a 100 times stronger and Kale's transformation is significantly stronger than SSJ2 as we see her going toe to toe with Super Saiyan God Goku while Caulifla is completely outclassed.

In both cases the multiplier could be a huge number. The only difference is that if she said, "at least 10 times" it could be not only a huge number but a not so big number like 11,12. If she actually said "tens of times" then it has to be at least 20 but it could be also 1 million

What Vados said is incorrect the multiplier is way more bigger. The actual translation is (Several 10s of times stronger). If the potara fusion is several 10s of times stronger how exactly this base vegito humuliate Buu Han?(Super Buu+Ultimate Gohan). For the record, "Several 10s, doesn't imply 1 million" lol

if you are sure the actual translation from japanese is "several 10s of times stronger" then post that as an answer because that is what the question was about, regardless if what Vados says it is contradictory with other parts of the series or not

Firstly I did post the same. Secondly, if you were interested to know what precisely were Vados words, that would imply you were interested in the content. Hence I also pointed out that the content was inaccurate.

Why were several members from the 104th training regimen suspected of being titans?
In the second season of the anime several members from the 104th training regimen are detained without their gear and are forced to wear street clothes. It is said that it was because they were suspected to have titans among them.
How did they come to this conclusion?

the members of the 104th are mostly refugees from the first time titan appeared. so the government has no solid data on their past. the titan attack was the perfect opportunity for infiltration but they did not consider it sooner because there was no prof of titan shifters.

After Annie's capture, the existence of titan shifters has been proven. Humans began to see both the Colossal Titan and Armored Titan has potential titan shifters because of their weirdly high intelligence. Then, since Annie was one of them, it was very likely that these two titans were on the 104th regimen.

https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/41056/why-connie-historia-and-the-others-have-been-kept-separated-from-the-others-at/41057#41057 May be related

This detainment of the 104th recruits began during the last few seconds in the last episode of Season 1, right after the dusts settles

 after the battle between Eren and Annie

Season 1, Ep 25

As Annie is being kept deep underground, a group of the former 104th Cadet Corps soldiers are nearing an unknown location, not knowing of the dangers awaiting them.

In this scene, they are also wearing regular civilian clothing and no ODM gear. And as we see, they are being held in the beginning of Season 2 due potential of titan spies
Season 2, Ep 1

12 hours before this, the 104th recruits are kept at a southern outpost in Wall Rose under suspicions of a Titan spy among them

Prior to the titan attack in season 1, the idea of Titan Shifters was unknown to a majority of the population; very few actually knew about them. At the end of season 1, both of the (currently) revealed Titan Shifters were from the 104th recruits. As Henjin and Nevious stated in the comments, a lot of the 104th cadets were refugees from the initial titan attack and there was little known of their history.
In Season 2, Ep 6, which occurs only three days later (according to the timeline), it shows that

Eren thinks back to twelve hours earlier at Ehrmich District where Sasha's report revealed that Reiner and Bertholdt were registered as originating from the same region as Annie Leonhart.

So based on this information, the 104th cadet contained 2 confirmed and 2 suspected Titan Shifters. Given that 2 others came from the same region as one of the Titan Shifters, and with no knowledge of how many Titan Shiters there could be, it was better to isolate them then draw attention to specific individuals.

Who was the other person the colossal titan ate?
At the beginning of episode 7 of season 2 (episode 32 on Crunchyroll), around 1:48, the colossal titan eats Ymir and one other person.

You can't see their face in any part of the episode.
Given who the colossal titan is, it seems strange to me that he would have eaten someone without a purpose, but only Ymir is seen later.
Eventually, they run off on the armoured titans back and the second person is not with them.
Surely they could not have been digested in the short time the colossal titan was present, and they were swallowed whole.
Later on, when we see them in human form in the giant forest, no one besides Eren and Ymir are with them. Do we know who this person was?

This was an unnamed, unlucky poor individual who was at the wrong place at the wrong time. If you watch this Youtube video, they aren't entirely sure who the Colossal Titan ate either.

It got Ymir!
...
And they got somebody else, too!

Also, while reading this reddit post, people say the Colossal Titan ate him to steal his ODM Gear

Just a random person. They didn't care about the guy, only about stealing his gear.

This is confirmed by seeing the Colossal Titan wearing the ODM gear in it's human form in the scene when they were camping out in the forest

Did not think about the gear, that makes sense since the armored titan took Eren's gear, the colossal titan needed gear too.

The other soldier that Bertoldt ate along with Ymir was killed and used by Bertholdt for the soldier's 3DMG to help Reiner and Bertoldt escape with Eren and Ymir in tow.
Here is Armin explaining it to Mikasa in chapter 45 of the manga:
Attack on Titan chapter 45 page 24
(Note: While I have seen the Attack on Titan anime, I prefer the manga version of the series so my answer is based on the manga version of the events as opposed to the anime. But it doesn't really make a difference here because season 2 of the series did a a fantastic job of keeping most things exactly like they happened in the manga.)!

I suppose since Ymir is

 the jaw titan

he wouldn't eat her, which is why she is seen later. Supposedly he put them in his mouth for safe-keeping. Maybe that other soldier was grabbed by accident.

I think the other person that the Colossal Titan ate was (spoiler alert for season 2's ending)

 the Beast Titan, because at the end, a blond-haired shirtless man wearing glasses emerged from the Beast Titan's nape. Also, that would explain his random disappearance because on episode 4 in season 2, he climbed the wall and was never shown again till the ending.

Why do people disappear?
Why do people disappear if they become Angel's friend? Also, why did Otonashi say "we will not disappear, be our friend" (something like that)?
Why did other Angel's "friends" disappear and Otonashi and others didn't?
("Angel" is Kanade)

Haven't watched Angel Beats! for a while but I tried to do the best research I could.
At the ending of episode 13, it is heavily implied that Otonashi

 did pass on. He reincarnates and meets the reincarnated Kanade.

Regarding people disappearing,

 Yui thoroughly explains that they disappear when they have their wishes fulfilled. They are in "purgatory" because they were unable to experience a normal youth before dying.

However, Angel Beats: Another Epilogue could falsify this, depending on how you view it:

 Otonashi has become the new student council president and is helping the students pass on. With this (OVA?), two endings are presented: Otonashi remains in "purgatory" to wait for Kanade like The Programmer (as the reincarnation has not been described to be limited it is possible that he could wait for many hundreds of years for her) or is just an add-on to the original ending, where Otonashi does move on.

This got spoilers but the question didn't? Is there a guide somewhere to what to put in spoilers?

I assumed by reading ton.yeung's "finish the anime" comment, the question was posted in the middle of the series, and this answer might spoil viewers who haven't watched until the end. You're free to un-spoil anything, but I don't think anyone who has watched the main Angel Beats! series also know/have watched Another Epilogue, so personally, I feel it's better to hide it on the spoiler block.

It seems to me that people arrive in Angel Beats because it is like a teens purgatory. They have baggage and believe the life they lived was unfair to them. They disappeared once they both accepted, released their baggage, and were ready to move on.
Yuri was paralyzed from the waist down and could never go out and do anything. She got the chance to experience life. Angel's heart was failing. She got Otonashi's but never got the chance to thank him, which was her main baggage.
As we do not know the speed of time in Angel Beats, personally, I think the time moves faster. I believe Angel was maybe on life support waiting for the heart or in having the transplant which is why she was there.
I believe that Angel Beats: Another Epilogue supports this because

 he won't move on without her and is waiting for her to arrive once more. Until she does, he helps those who arrive accept what has happened and move on. It even says in that episode, "I heard he is waiting for someone."

Who is the first school idol group ever featured in anime?
In the Love Live! series, UTX High School's A-RISE is the first school idol group featured. But, is A-RISE the first school idol group ever featured in the history of anime? If not, who is the first school idol group?

I'm not sure what kind of answer you expect, do you mean within Love Live or anime in general? Sorting the idol tag in AniDB to display the oldest first I find Idol Boueitai Hummingbird from 1993 on the second page which comes close or at least may be a title to include in an answer, if I didn't get your question wrong. (I haven't watched this, it says military, so it doesn't actually qualify as a school setting.)

Anime in general. I did say "in anime history" in the question, right ;-)

what do you mean by school idol group? as in am idol group formed by people who goes to a school or an idol group formed by people from the same school? how much does the school have to feature in a series to qualify (as the series about a group of teenagers who are in school may not necessary show or reference the school)

Going with how it was depicted in Love Live, I'd say that a school idol is an idol group formed by students from the same school and identify themselves as one.

It's been 3 months since the question existed, well, if you still haven't found the answer yet, here it is.

1983

Magical Angel Creamy Mami is the oldest Idol anime I could find. It has 52 TV epsidoes + 4 OVA aired back in 1983. It's a school idol group, but unfortunately I can't find the name of the group.

Creamy Mami is about a young girl, Yuu, who after seeing a spaceship is given the power to use magic for one year. She is also given 2 cats, Poji and Nega, to watch over and guide her. Using her magic powers to transform into the idol Creamy Mami, Yuu must work hard at acting, singing, helping her parents at their crepe shop, fighting aliens and bad guys, going to school, plus try to get the affections of her childhood friend Toshio.

2003

Wandaba Style is the possible oldest Idol anime with a group name, yes, finally, but wait, it is not a school idol!

A J-pop group named Mix Juice consisting of four girls: Ayame, Yuri, Sakura & Himawari attempt to make it big by playing the first concert on the moon. Bankrolling this endeavor is the 13 year old billionare Susumu Tsukumo and his android, Kiku 8 who propose to go to space in an eco-friendly way.

2006

Lemon Angel Project is about a group of high school girls forming a new Lemon Angel Idol Group, I think that is it, I'm surprised that the first school idol group was created only 10 years ago.

Lemon Angel was once the greatest girl band of Japan, but then it broke up and most of its members vanished. When a music producer decides to put together a new Lemon Angel, average high schooler Tomo Minaguchi is approached to audition for the group. Little does she know of the mystery behind the original Lemon Angel...

"School idols" aren't a real thing; the notion was invented for the Love Live! franchise.
Hence, it must be the case that the first school idol group in anime is whichever one is first featured in Love Live! - and as you point out, A-RISE is that group.

I was going to point that out but you beat me to it. However, there might have been other anime with similar concepts before, I guess.

I know this is years late, but the first idol anime ever is Sasurai no Taiyou (1971).

Welcome to Anime and Manga. consider editing your answer to add more information, looking at the plot summary i don't see how a series about 2 girls being switched at birth and living in different social classes yet having the same dream to be a singer is the same as a school idol group

Are Pokemon vegetarians?
It is shown that Pokemon eat fruit, PokeBlocks or some random eatables. However, I have never seen a Pokemon being eaten by another Pokemon. Also, their trainers don't seem to eat meat. As there are only Pokemon in that world, eating fish would be equivalent to eating a Magikarp or other fish Pokemon.

Somewhat relevant: http://anime.stackexchange.com/q/836/2604

Ash/Satoshi actually does eat meat in the first seasons.

Horray for Bulbapedia!
The most commonly referenced mention of Pokemon eating other Pokemon is the entry about Pidgeot.

"When they hunt, Pidgeot fly on the surface of the water at top speed to catch unsuspecting Fish element prey like Magikarp."

It is also referenced in Shipwreck, where Meowth attempted to eat James' Magikarp.
Farfetch'd also has an entry about how delicious it is.
The general consensus from my research seems to be that, while pokemon are likely eaten by other pokemon and occasionally humans, it is rarely if ever portrayed because Pokemon is aimed towards a child audience.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
It should also be noted that normal animals exist in pokemon. There are multiple references to them, although they are rare.

In both Raichu and Gastly's FireRed entries, Indian elephants are mentioned.
In several of Bellsprout's Pokédex entries, Bellsprout is said to prey on insects.
Victreebel is mentioned to use the Sweet Aroma of its honey to lure prey such as bugs, as well as large animals.
Horsea is said to prey on bugs in several of its Pokédex entries. Some entries also mention that Horsea uses coral as an anchor to avoid being washed away, as well as for shade to build its nest in.
Lickitung's Red, Blue, and LeafGreen Pokédex entries mention that it can extend its tongue like a chameleon.

Numerous pokemons are stated as carnivorous, through generations. Some pokemons even use appearance as tool for hunting, e.g. Victreebel having shape of trap plant, or Mawile, having cute appearance in front to lure prey, and large jaws on back to grab it.

carnivorous is fine, but what do they eat exactly? other pokemons?

Yes, why not? Some even prey on humans. Also, i don't remember properly, if common animals exist in pokemon world, but if they do, they may be also eaten.

The Pokemon Alpha Sapphire Pokedex entry for Wurmple states:

Wurmple is targeted by Swellow as prey. This Pokémon will try to resist by pointing the spikes on its rear at the attacking predator. It will weaken the foe by leaking poison from the spikes.

And the entry in Pokemon X:

It loves to eat leaves. If it is attacked by a Starly, it will defend itself with its spiked rear.

These two entries show us how Wurmple is targeted as prey by Swellow and by Starly.
While Pokemon is targeted a younger audience and darker subjects like death are almost always avoided, we can conlude that the pokemon universe is not too different from our own in that pokemon, like animals, eat other pokemon.

In the games you make poke blocks out of berries ground together. Therefore I believe that they do eat vegetables but if Pokémon can kill each other in the Manga then surely they can eat each as wild Pokémon but I don't know of any certain points.

Can you include citations of specific chapters where a Pokemon kills another Pokemon?

I can cite from chapter 14 of pokemon adventures arbor was killed by blue's charmeleon

What does Piccolo telling Gohan to "dodge" mean?
I have been seeing some posts on Facebook recently with Piccolo yelling at Gohan to dodge. I do not understand the reference behind it.
What incident is being referred to?

Well, in the abridged version of DBZ (by TFS), Gohan dislikes the word "Dodge" and is unable to perform correctly when ever it is yelled out. Goku mentions Gohan needs to learn how to dodge and relies on Picollo to train him that. Maybe it was because of the numerous training sessions that he hates the word.

It comes from the Team Four star parody of Dragon-Ball, and it occurs during the part where Piccolo trains Gohan to fight the Sayans
One of the things Piccolo does is tells Gohan to dodge, and then hits him.  It's a running gag throughout the series.
You can watch the parody at http://teamfourstar.com/

This is a reference Team Four Star's DragonBall Z Abridged series.
In it, Picollo is teaching Gohan to dodge. However, he ends up conditioned to freeze in fear of the word instead. This becomes one of the most popular running gags in the series.

Do Digimon eat other Digimon?
In the opening episode of Digimon Adventure, Taichi was attacked by Kuwagamon. Now, I'm wondering whether if that was just the Kuwagamon feeling territorial or did it see Taichi and Koromon as food? As we know from the episode where Taichi, the other Digi-Destined, and their digimon ate dinner at the mansion, they eat meat too: which means we can assume that other digimon might exhibit the same dietary manner.
In Digimon World (PS game), it was shown that meat in the digimon world is produced from farms in a fruit-like manner. While digimon that live in a community and have a farm can surely meet their dietary needs from those farms, what about those who don't? For example, would Leomon in Digimon Adventure hunt other Digimon to eat?
I have never watched any Digimon anime other than Digimon Adventure 1 (Agumon & co.) and 2 (Veemon & co.) So, I'm not sure whether the digimon that come later in the series would exhibit the same dietary manner, or even have needs to eat at all. Digimon in Digimon Adventure 2 should exhibit the same dietary manner since the story takes place in the same digimon world.

I think there were non-Digimon animals in the Digital World. E.g. towards the end of Series I, when everyone was being chased around the ocean by Metal Seadramon, I thought there were fish. The wiki also mentions Metal Seadramon giving Scorpiomon clams to eat as a reward. So Digimon might still eat each other, but unlike the case with Pokemon, they can be carnivores without necessarily eating each other.

Cherrymon eats other digimons

i though digimon "eating" other digimon to grow stronger ?

What you need to understand is that Digimon are almost biologically the same throughout all the series and thus they should share the same dietary habits as each other despite being from different series. Also, do not treat food in the digital world really as food, they are data. Therefore, when a materialised Digimon eats human food, they can taste it and enjoy it, but not grow from eating it.
For a Digimon to grow/digivolve, they consume data and train, which in turn 'upgrades' their own personal data, gain experience and level up if you will, as demonstrated by Tactimon in When Worlds Collide saying that he trained in order to evolve and grow and when he absorbed the data from the human world, he grew more powerful. Keramon from Digimon Adventure also acts like Tactimon to a certain degree, consuming data until he digivolves into Chrysalimon.

Digivolution for Digimon is similar to aging for humans—it is generally a one-way journey whereby a Digimon will grow into a new form as they age and gain battle experience and data. However, moving from one form to another becomes progressively more difficult. Therefore, very few Digimon will ever naturally digivolve into their final most powerful forms.

This establishes the premise that in order for a Digimon to grow, they need data and since their whole world is made of data, they can just eat their surroundings, but of course, this is rather useless as small bits of data does not provide any use in growing as shown by Beastmon consuming Tyutyumon but not digivolving. But of course, if you eat enough, like Lucemon from frontier, who consumed the whole digital world and all its inhabitants, you become all powerful. However, not all data are edible in Tamers as shown by Guilmon in Goliath.
Sorry if I digressed too much but in conclusion, YES, Digimon do eat other Digimon for their data in order to grow more powerful as all the data you consume from the other Digimon upgrades your own data. The reason why Digimon opt to eat other Digimon as a Digimon provides more data then eating regular, more common forms of data, such as grass.
Smaller Digimon are incapable of preying on other Digimon effectively as hatchlings contain very little data and are often protected by powerful Guardian Digimon so the most common predator species are at least Champion Level or higher. Some examples include MachineDramon and Arukadhimon from Xros Wars.

Can I play a PAL copy of Code geass on my US player?
So, here just a couple of weeks ago, I placed an order for Code Geass season 1 and season 2 from Madman Entertainment.
This is my first time buying anime. I was told that Madman is a great site to buy anime from because there are a lot of pirated copies floating around on other sites and I wanted to make sure to get an official copy.
My concern is that I just noticed that they are region 2 and 4 (PAL), and I live in the US (Region 1).
This all being said, will my computer and PS4 not be able to play them? If not, is there anywhere else to legally obtain these full seasons in my region?

With PC's, if my memory serves me correctly when it comes to DVD Playback they are pre-set with the local DVD region. this can be changed but only 5 times which isn't ideal.
I don't play movies on my PS4 but the PS3 when it came to DVD/Bluray Playback they were pre-set to play local DVDs/Bluray of the country it was made in (ie. NTSC PS3 will play Region 1 DVDs and Region A Bluray. a PAL PS3 in Australia will play Region 4 DVDs and Region B Bluray while a PS3 in the UK (to my knowledge) will play Region 2 DVDs and Region B Bluray).
When it comes to importing anime from another country you have 2 options.

Use a local distributor - in your case since you live in the US RightStuf would be one of your best bets. you could try NISA's store but they only sell anime they have brought the licences for and Rightstuf sells this aswell.
Get a Region Free DVD/Bluray Player - these are DVD/Bluray players which can have their DVD/Bluray Regions chnaged at any time, generally these also allow you to set the DVD Region to 0 (Region Free/Worldwide) but with Bluray there is no equivalent.

I brought a Laser BLU-BD10803D 3D DVD Blu-Ray Player from eBay and with it i just input a code while in the menu and i can change the DVD and Bluray Regions and it serves me well. problem is the listing is no longer on eBay but a search on ebay will bring up others. you just need to make you you read into the item carefully as some will say multi-region but it'll only be for one format (a couple i see in that search only do DVDs and are pre-set to Bluray Region A)
Getting a new DVD/Bluray Player which is multi-region isn't cheap. this one while it would cost me US $169.00 it also costs US $127.20 for international shipping to the total cost may vary.
if you're invested in having a DVD/Bluray collection of anime then the price you pay for a multi-region DVD Player is a worthy investment since then you can buy DVDs/Bluray no matter the country. this then means the Anime you have on order will still be of use to you and you can just order Anime not based off where it's coming from but availability, customer service, bonus content, etc.

Stream - I add this option in just to complete the answer. you can stream Anime through the internet using This list of Legal sites and in most cases you don't have to worry about regions. my problem with this option is

some sites can still block you using Geo-Blocking (the act of restricting site access based on where your IP is) such as with Funimation, some Youtube Chanels. Crunchyroll doesn't do this to my knowledge
you don't actually own any of the anime and are at the mercy of the site's uptime so if the site goes down for maintenace or what ever reason your out of luck. worst case scenario is that the site shuts down for good, then where is your anime collection?
You are also at the mercy of your internet connection. weather it's working or not, if you have a data limit when you may have breached it, connection speeds etc.

the upsides to streaming is that Anime tends to be streamed before it's available on Bluray/DVD and the anime isn't taking up physical room but my personal opinion is that this don't outweigh the risks.....also there is a kind of glee when you go to show off how you've replaced your Bedroom's normal walls with those made up entire of anime DVD/Bluray, like this

the above image is NOT my collection but that of a random image i found on google which came from this photobucket account

is that your wall?

@MichaelMcQuade nope, just a random image from google. might replace with with my own if i ever get a bigger room

I think that collection is actually half manga.

In general, it might be legal to make a non-DRM copy of the movie from the DVD you bought, depending on where you live. This doesn't apply to the US though as far as I know (IANAL).

In brief:
(a) There was a US release from Bandai several years ago but that's long since out of print and hard to come by (I'm seeing $300 for complete sets).
(b) Funimation rescued the license, but they haven't announced any release plans yet; given that there's been a relatively recent OVA release (Akito the Exiled) in Japan, it's possible that Funi is trying to get everything together for a major launch.  We're in anime convention season, so keep your ears peeled...
(c) While your PS4 and your home computer won't be able to play them 'out of the box', there are region-free DVD players available and there are various pieces of software out there that can allow a PC's DVD drive to play discs of any region.  Technically there are licensing issues around region-free systems, but those almost uniformly fall on the retailer and not on the owner, and you can find many major independent video retailers (e.g., Scarecrow Video in Seattle) that sell region-free hardware.

A lot of the avenues in regards to regionless players (good investment) have been covered, but I'll attack the home computer angle.
There is a chance that you may be able to play the DVD out of the box, but you would have to use VLC Media Player to do so.  Reports suggest that it ignores the region encoding on your machine and will allow you to play it; however, newer models of DVD drives may enforce this coding more strictly.
That said, it is possible to change the region of your DVD drive, but you may only do it up to five times before it is permanently fixed to that region.  Look up instructions specific to your operating system before continuing1, and I would personally avoid any instructions dealing with loading or updating the firmware of your drive unless you feel confident that you know what you're doing.
As with the other advice, investing in a regionless drive may be the best option, since it allows you to buy with more confidence, and reduces the likelihood that you'll worry about these sorts of purchases.
Because sometimes, just sometimes, your local distributor doesn't have the anime you want in the region you need it in.  (I'm looking at you, RightStuf, and your lack of complete RahXephon...)
1:  I wish I could help here, but I only run Linux and have only ever run DVDs on Linux.  I also have a regionless BD DVD-RW.

What happened to the Itachi Uchiha movie?
As far as I know, a movie based on Itachi Uchiha was about to come in March.
Can anyone please tell whether it's coming this year or is it delayed?
Here is a Reddit thread of the poster, and here is a YouTube video of the trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl89gnvXcTg

The Itachi Shinden adaptation has already started airing via Naruto Shippuden episode 451 and onwards.
Crunchyroll  notes that it began airing on March 3rd. Episode 451 aired on March 3rd and these episodes exactly follow the novels.
It is set to be aired until May.

I haven't gotten a chance to watch these episodes. Are you sure this side story is the promised adaptation of the Itachi Shinden novels?

http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2016/02/05/video-naruto-shippuuden-itachi-shinden-hen-hikari-to-yami-anime-previewed episode 451 aired on march 3 and these episodes exactly follow the novels

You should edit that information into your answer.

This is not a movie. The Itachi Shinden novels are being adapted to a TV release, which will air this spring. I didn't see information about it beginning in March.
The Naruto twitter account shared a link to TV Tokyo Naruto website which has a small trailer and information about the release, which seems to indicate that it will begin airing in Japan on April 7th.

Why did the Elric brothers burn down their house?
Why did the Elric brothers set their house on fire? I mean they could have preserved their house for future use but they didn't. So why did they do this? Is there any main reason behind this which is mentioned in the FMA anime/manga?

They set fire to their house in chapter 24 of the manga:

As you can see, after they set fire to their house Ed says, "There is no turning back."
This is also stated in episode 11 of Brotherhood, which is when they set fire to their house in the anime, there is a similar statement:

Edward: There is no turning back for us now, huh?

Edward reiterates this in Chapter 42:

Hohenheim tries to convince Ed that he is lying, and that in reality they did it to run away from the mistakes of their past.

Hohenheim: Is it for the sake of running away from the horrible images in one's mind brought on by it? Is it to erase the evidence of what oneself had done? . . . It is just like a kid who wet his bed at night and hid his sheets. You are running away.

So, Hohenheim's interpretation may be the correct one, but Edward does not admit that he was running away to Hohenheim.

According to ONE, who would win in a fight between Tatsumaki and Mob?
While browsing through tvtropes, I found the following thing:

The Verse: ONE has implied this and One-Punch Man share a verse (He was asked and answered a question on who would win between Mob and Tatsumaki from said series).

Emphasis mine.
Unfortunately, tvtropes does not elaborate on this any further. There are no links or sources pointing to the discussion mentioned, and now I am very curious to know what answer ONE gave.
According to ONE, if Tatsumaki and Mob were to fight, who would win?

In the One Punch Man Wiki at the Tatsumaki page, it is stated :

ONE has said that Tatsumaki is stronger than 100% Mob, the protagonist of ONE's other work, Mob Psycho 100, but against ???% Mob, there's no answer.

Still according to One Punch Man Wiki, ONE said this during  his Niconico interview.

ONE: Tatsumaki in her best shape could've defeated Golden Sperm. Golden Sperm is equally strong as ossan (main protagonist from makai no ossan). Tatsumaki is stronger than Normal Mob, if he gets serious, there's no answer.
Normal Mob = Tatsumaki Win
Serious Mob (100%) = Too close to call
???% Mob = Mob
Current Mob (Up to 500%) = Mob

What is the meaning behind the colors in the episode titles of Kyoukai no Kanata?
The episode titles in Kyoukai no Kanata (Beyond the Boundary) are named after a color each. For example "Carmine", "Ultramarine", and "Moonlit Purple". Does anyone know what is the meaning of this?
A list of all the episode titles can be found here in Wikipedia

Several of them are actually explained in the list of Kyoukai no Kanata episodes that the OP links:

Mirai's blood sword is carmine in color, hence "Carmine".
The defeated youmu drops an ultramarine stone, hence "Ultramarine".
The Hollow Shadow causes the moon to glow purple, hence "Purple Moonlight". (This is also an artistic touch we see throughout the series.)
Mitsuki set up chartreuse lanterns in her room as a child when she couldn't go to the festival, hence "Chartreuse Light".
Mitsuki gets splashed with pink liquid that imparts a horrible stench to her, hence "Shocking Pink".
"White World" takes place partially in a snowy world inside Kyoukai no Kanata where Mirai battles it.
In "Black World", a black sphere appears above the city and sucks up all the youmu.

Close inspection of the episodes might reveal more such references.
KyoAni did a similar trick with musically themed episode names in Kanon (e.g. Berceuse of a Baby Fox, A Dangerous Trio, Lieder Ohne Worte of an Elder and Younger Sister; see more). While the general music theme comes from the title of the series (which is related to the musical term canon, as in "Pachelbel's Canon", for instance), the individual titles don't have much to do with their episodes beyond the occasional shallow parallel (e.g. "A Dangerous Trio" focuses on the trio of Yuuichi, Mai, and Sayuri).

What does this eagle symbol/crest mean in Re:Zero?
This symbol is seen on Subaru's cape. Does it represent a lineage or what? Why is Subaru wearing this?

Update: It's not the same as the symbol on the royal selection insignia/badge:

It's the same symbol as the one on Emilia's outfit. Was this when Subaru was wearing Emilia's cloak?

The screenshot I took is from when Subaru is getting knighted. Maybe it's a symbol that represents "house Emilia" in the royal selection?

As shown below, its the same symbol that hangs in the royal hall. I believe it was also the same symbol on the royal selection badge but I can't find any photos online of that so don't trust me on that.

the symbol shown on the wall of your screenshot is the one used for the royal selection insignia/badge (I just added a picture of it to my question) but it's not the same as the one on Subaru's cape

@JorgeLuque Ah you're right! I spent about a half hour or so looking further and I couldn't seem to find anything. It has an extremely similar design structure to some of the other nation's flags though but they have a different animal. My guess is that it is a nation's insignia. Try posting it on r/Re_Zero on Reddit. I am sure someone there will know. Best of luck!

What is the meaning behind the titles of Tokyo Ghoul OVAs JACK & PINTO?
For reference, the dictionary definition of the word "pinto" is

Marked with spots of white and other colors; mottled; spotted.

It can also be used to refer to a piebald horse which has irregular patches of two colors such as this one:

My guess is that "Jack" is a reference to "Jack the Ripper" because in the OVA, the main characters are chasing a serial killer. It could also be a reference to "Jack-o'-lantern" since the serial killer wears a pumpkin mask and is referred to as "Lantern". On the other hand, the only two things I can come up with for Pinto is that it's a reference to (spoilers ahead):
1

 The hidden bruises on the elderly patient which look like the spots of a piebald horse. The patient's skin was thus like a "pinto" horse.

2

 The dual personalities that the nurse had because "pinto" could mean the she had spots of white (good) and black (bad).

I think theory #1 on the elderly man is more likely to be right than the nurse theory.

Stop answering your own question for reputation.

@GKA there's nothing wrong with self-answering, provided that the question and the answer have its own merit. Also, I was the one who suggested OP to put his theory as the answer because it is one of the possible answer, and so it can be voted accordingly. And there's nothing to stop anyone from providing a better/official answer to this question.

Oh.Thats weird.I did not know you could answer your own questions.Anyway thanks for telling me)

@GKA I originally posted my answer as part of the Question Description in a previous post but AkiTanaka explained that it made more sense to post my own theory as an answer so that the question could stand on its own. BTW, I did wait for others to answer before I posted my own answer. I also googled other theories but found nothing.

What happened to the Resurrection Item?
In the Sword Art Online anime, after getting the Resurrection Item Kirito gives it to Klein, as Kirito wanted it to bring Sachi back to life, but for it to work it had to be administered within 10 seconds.
Do they ever explain what happened to the item after that; the anime doesn't show if Klein ever used it or not?

The reason this isn't mentioned is because Klein isn't a major part of the story, so any actions he takes with the item won't be significant to the overall outcome of the story. So what happened with the item? Klein either used it on a dying team mate or he never
had the need to use it at all.

This item was not mentioned after it's introduction.
During that introduction Klein was given it with the instruction to use it on the next teammate who dies in front of him.
During the final battle he has every motivation and opportunity to use it as the wife of the man who gave it to him has died right in front of him! He does not use it here. It is unreasonable to think he would not use it under that circumstance.
An object like that would not be disposed of carelessly.
This yields two possible answers: he followed the instructions given to him (Very possible) or he gave/sold it to someone else and they used it, sold it again, or retained it until it did not matter anymore.
In either case, this is neither a plot hole nor a deep mystery as it was a relatively minor plot element, we were told exactly how he should use this consummable, and, if he did so properly, it would not have been a large enough plot point to warrent it being shown.  I doubt it would retain its value by the later stories so it doesn't even matter if it wasn't used by a purchaser by the end of SAO.

I don't think Klein would sell it. I think he might've used it before the fight against Kayaba. Also, when Asuna died, they were all paralyzed by Kayaba, using the system console, so it's not like he won't use it, it's more like he can't.

To add to kaine's answer
if the item hadn't been used before SAO ended it would almost certainly have been useless in any other game world like Kirito's items from SAO were in ALO

After giving the item to Klein, it's never explained what became of the item. The reason for this is because of the way SAO was written. I would go into details, but I'll try to make it simple.
SAO was originally a Web Novel, written from 2002 to 2008, before the author was asked to publish it in 2009. Most of the side-stories that took place in the "Aincrad Arc", were written around 2002-2004 (After the first "Volume" was already written), between the other major arc, Fairy Dance and Phantom Bullet. "Red Nosed-Reindeer" (the story that Episode 3 is adapted from) is different. Kawahara didn't write this story until after 2005, when he had already began writing the final arc of SAO (which isn't even in the anime yet)
Effectively, when he first wrote SAO, the Stone was not a concept he had in mind. When he began publishing, he never bothered to write the stone into any other story either (even though he included "Red-Nosed Reindeer" as a side-story in the second book)
I would have to assume that the stone was used to save one of Klein's Guildmates, considering that in the novel it was said that his Guild never suffered a single casualty.

In my opinion, that stone was something that could have been brought back in a major way. A previous poster mentioned the stone would have  been perfect to resurrect Kirito in that final battle, but his will to overcome the system after witnessing his true love fall for him would've been less meaningful to the whole story, and stories ahead. Or it could have been used in any of the floors skipped in the amine.  To me I it just seems like Klein followed Kirito's instructions and just used it on the next person he saw die; which was probably a lot considering the rate of deaths that likely would have happened in his presence. This is this only thing to go off based on actual fact of the Anime.
I've never read the light novels, because I wonder if they have more content from the floors that they majorly skipped in the show.

I have removed the last sentence, since it has nothing to do with the question. FYI, SAO2 anime adapted GGO, Excalibur and Mother's Rosario arc, so they have nothing to do with SAO. If there is anything about the SAO arc, it might be mentioned in the Progressive books, since it fills in the holes from the days in SAO.

Well someone posted about the light novels, so I was asking about some of the The GGO arc left lacking.  Was it because it was because it was asked in an a place for answers?

Yes, the answer is not a place for asking another question. Do feel free to ask a new question to clarify your doubt about GGO leaving some problems unresolved (all members of Death Gun not yet arrested, I guess?).

What does "W.C" on Izumi Curtis's slippers mean?
What does "W.C" mean? My guess was "water closet" - basically toilet slippers. If my guess is true why does she wear it? Is it a popular thing in Japan or Germany for housewives to go out with toilet slippers?

[]

check this reddit post

The user Tombow on http://www.fullmetal-alchemist.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t12824-450.html stated:

W.C. = Water Closet. = toilet.
In Japan, in Inns and other places like that sometimes they have public bathrooms (toilet) and some of them have slippers to be used inside that bathroom, often with W.C. written like that, and, yes, some of these bathroom slippers are exactly like what Izumi is wearing. (I saw them in some other anime and manga, too, but I got these pics form Google. XDD)

Not just inns - if you're at a restaurant with tatami rooms (where you take off your shoes to sit down), you'll have a set of guest slippers to travel about the restaurant (ie, to the drink bar), and a separate set to switch to once you reach the bathroom.

Remember that I was quoting somebody else. These are not my words.

Gender of person who sings Bleach's eleventh opening (Anima Rossa)?
My favourite Bleach song is the eleventh opening: Anima Rossa by Porno Graffiti. My sister, who is a big fan of Bleach, says it's a male who sings it. I, who is only on episode 86, believes it is a female. It just sounds like one.
Despite the song sounding as though a female sings it, I too have reasons to believe it is sung by a male. My reason is because, I remember noticing that Fullmetal Alchemist's (2003 series; not Brotherhood) first opening theme-Melissa- is also by Porno Graffiti... but the singer is audibly male. You can just tell. Although, I don't want to believe a MALE sings Anima Rossa.
I need to know, because I imagine certain characters singing my favourite anime songs (but the character has to be from the same anime as the song :P ), and I imagined Rangiku singing it. I have no idea why; I just did (and still do). But if it's a male who sings it... I have to change that.
I'd appreciate it if you could give me unquestionable evidence.

FWIW, the vocals on "Anima Rossa" sound unmistakeably male to me (granted, in a somewhat high register). I think your ear might not be tuned to Japanese voices quite right.

I shouldn't HAVE to "tune my ear to Japanese voices". Knowing the gender isn't quite necessary enough for me to do that when I'm American. This is the only time I had to because 1. I love this song and 2. my sister and I had a debate over it. You thinking it sounds male is your opinion. I just don't hear it your way (and your comment was kind of a waste because... that was completely unhelpful).

I don't know why you're so bothered about this. I'm just pointing out that the reason you had this question is not that Porno Graffiti's vocalist has an ambiguous-sounding voice, but rather that there's an issue with the way you're perceiving it.

Well, you don't have to point out the reason why I posted it, because I already know why.

According to Wikipedia

Porno Graffitti (ポルノグラフィティ Poruno Gurafiti), also known as Porno (ポルノ Poruno) is a Japanese male rock band from Innoshima, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan.

Current and Past Members only lists 3 names and Wikipedia only has a link to the past member Masami Shiratama which says:

After leaving the band in June 2004, he released the album Great Pleasure in December 2005.

Akihito Okano (who does vocals) and Haruichi Shindō (who does background vocals) have profiles on generasia and both lists to have wives. Considering that same-sex marriage is not legal in japan and their images on generasia look like men, I would conclude that your sister is correct and that it is a Male singing it.
If you are still in doubt, I checked to see if I could find a live performance of Anima Rossa on Youtube and here is the Link

though i have never heard Anima Rossa (yet) i can't imagine Rangiku singing it, then again i watched the Dub Version of Bleach so i have Rangiku's English Voice Actor's voice in my head

I didn't go by her voice. xD I went by her looks, the song's lyrics, and the way the song sounds, and it seems to fit her. You should listen to the song. Here's the link to the full, non-live version: link. And the lyrics (look at the English... but take the word "men" out and add "women". THEN it fits): link. Hmm... I guess "men" being there is more proof that it was sung by a male.      ._.

Is Kazuki Nakashima a mangaka?
I read somewhere that Kazuki Nakashima writes manga, but I don't really believe that.
I mean, as shown in the ending credits for Sword Art Online, the man did the colour setting (read it and weep, but that's what it says).
I also know that he plays big roles in the making of the two animes Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill.
With that being said, I saw the guy as more of a anime type person than a writer of manga.
But, my thoughts aside, does Kazuki Nakashima really write manga, or is it not true?
And if it is true, please name a few of his works. I know I could just "Google it", but I'd rather you just answer my question, rather than question it.

"I know Kazuki Nakashima did the color setting for Sword Art Online" - did he? The fellow's a writer, not an artist...

This question seems absurdly simple. To know other works done by a person, all you have to do is Google it.

@senshin, that's what the ending credits for SAO say.

And @Ero Sɘnnin, maybe so, but I'm not the first person to ask a question that Google can provide the answer to. So, maybe you could help instead of delivering a smart comment, m'kay?

He is a Japanese playwright, novelist and anime screenwriter. His work on anime mostly as writer. But according this interview he did write a manga before.

You mean the kind of action stories with bright, outgoing, handsome and cool heroes like in the youth mangas rather than stories full of darker emotions like grudges and pathos? Did you write mangas yourself?
I did. At university I was in the manga club, and when I got a job at the manga publishing company Futaba-sha (publisher of the Manga Action, also publishes numerous literary books) after university I took my original mangas to the job interview along with my persona vitae with the intention of being hired either as a manga artist or an editor.

Is One Piece named after Gol D. Roger discovered it?
We know that One Piece is the goal for Luffy to become pirate king, but I want to know about One Piece itself.
Did One Piece named after Gol d. Roger discovered it or its already One Piece when he discovered it?

I think it should be 'Is One Piece named....'

@bot well, I'm sorry for poor grammar, English not my main language, still learning. Thanks XD

F***.. NO OP THIS WEEK..

I always believed that he said he left his treasure in "one piece" (which is a phrase that means intact/complete/undamaged/undivided).  As so little is known and that is the only decription, it became the defacto name.
This implies that the popular name was created after Gol's death.
However, the nature of the One Piece treasure and specifically what he meant is not fully clarified yet.  This means we don't know if he said "one piece" (intact) or "One Piece" (name for something or a play on words).
To fully answer this properly if this is a pun, you may need to find the original untranslated wording and someone who understands English and Japanese well.  Alternatively, wait until it is revealed (in several years hopefully).

The whole story wouldn't be if it wasn't for the Gol D. Roger's assurance that he really has his treasure unharmed and out of danger. He let people know that if somebody wants it, he can has it as long as he finds it. It's assumed that it is in the last island,Raftel, (so the "King of Pirates" could only have it I guess) having in mind that he surrendered voluntarily so he could have hidden it anywhere but the most difficult place, is the one that's hard to reach.
From One Piece's wikia page:

One Piece (ひとつなぎの大秘宝（ワンピース） Wan Pīsu?, kanji read as "Hitotsunagi no Daihihō", translating to "The Great Treasure of One Piece") is a legendary treasure said to be of unimaginable value.

It could be either the treasure itself, or the place that treasure lays. Both occasions leads that One Piece is something that Gol D. Rogger created by gathering his treasure and leaving it somewhere.
So One Piece is just another big treasure (probably the biggest) of the seas, but Gol D. Roger gave it's name since he is the one who made it.

One Piece could also refer to the Pony-glyphs, being the Pony-glyphs main piece that connects all the others and makes sense out of all the others.
We know that Roger could read the Pony-glyphs as he signed the bell fry in Skypeia. Robin comes to the understanding that all of these are connected, some with information, some telling the location of the ones with information.
This could mean that One Piece is either a Pony-glyph, one of the great weapons mentioned in the Pony-glyphs, or it could be whatever the person who found it wants it to be.

I think Poneglyph and One Piece is different at all, because if so, that's mean Luffy's goal and Robin's goal would be the same. Robin's goal is to know the void century that written on Poneglyph, I think it's not gonna be interesting right? Plus no one said that Roger could read the Poneglyph, or maybe not yet said in the anime or manga, I don't remember Rayleigh mention that Roger can read Poneglyph.

He signs the Poneglyph at Skypeia so the assumption is that he can read them, or someone in his crew can read them.  "It has also been revealed that Gol D. Roger was able to follow the passage because he could hear "the voice of all things", and was able to uncover the path." from One Piece wiki. and skypiea arc, chapter [301] (http://www.mangapanda.com/one-piece/301/11)

I know about that, I mean, it's only assumption right? Just like I said, not yet told in manga or anime that Roger can read the Poneglyph.

Its assumption that he personally can read it, but someone in his crew if not him, can. It may be entirely the opposite and he can't read them at all, but his ability to 'hear the voice of all things' that gives him the ability to read and write in any language. This is like Luffy talking to the Sea Kings, who only the mermaid princess was able to talk to, and Roger 22 years prior. Luffy's ability being a new found ability meaning he couldn't read the Poneglyph at Alabasta.

Why did Mavis lend Fairy Glitter magic to Cana?
Cana got Fairy Glitter from Mavis's tomb in Tenrou Island. Mavis also said in Daimatou Enbu that she lent this magic to Cana.
But I'm still not sure why Mavis lent Fairy Glitter to Cana? Is there any explanation for this?

I don't read fairy tail, however it seems you might be asking more than one question here, although they might be related. Consider splitting them up for clarity. i.e. One question per post.

@Tyhja uumm... yeah, it's more than one question I know. But I think if the first question is answered, then the next question also answered automatically. so, should I delete the question?

I don't read fairy tail, like I said, so if you say its just different parts of the same question/answer then it is fine.

I think this was answered by Mavis during their tournament when Mavis let Cana used the fairy glitter again for the second time. I think thats during the strongest punch game.

but, AFAIK Mavis didn't mention the reason why she lend the Fairy Glitter to Cana, she only confirm that yes, she lentthe Fairy Glitter to Cana

which chapter are you referring to? You said yourself, Mavis gave Fairy Glitter to Cana twice, on Tenrou Island and on Daimatou Enbu, both have different reason.

and also, this question is too broad since there are two questions, could you consider editing it

@Darjeeling I forgot about the chapter, and i'm still not sure the reason why Mavis gave Fairy Glitter to Cana, if both have different reason, i want to know both of them.

Explaining further from my comment, Mavis gave Fairy Glitter to Cana twice, on Tenrou Island and on Daimatou Enbu, and both for different reason.
Tenrou Island Arc. Chapter 232 The One Thing I Couldn't Say
This is the first time Mavis gave Fairy Glitter for Cana, Cana first intention is to show her father, Gildart that she can become an S-Class Mage. She tricked Lucy and left her alone. At first, when she reached Mavis's grave, it was sealed and she couldn't touch the grave. But at the end she realized that she only want to protect her friends. So Mavis gave her Fairy Glitter because of her pure heart to protect her friends and the guild.

Grand Magic Tournament Arc. Chapter 285 MPF
This is the second time Mavis gave Fairy Glitter for Cana. As for the reason, it's less complicated than the first time, she did it so Fairy Tail could win the tournament, and show that Fairy Tail is back.

Why Hyde Park become Haido Park?
I've read this Detective Conan manga Chapter 499-504 there's a case when Conan chasing Rena Mizunashi,
the CIA agent that disguise as Black Organization member with code name Kir.
She along with Korn and Chianti is assigned to kill Mayor Candidate (I don't remember his name).
In that time, Conan's tracker is stick to Kir's shoes and he heard the code about the place
where the Black Organization plan to Kill the Mayor.
Conan realize that the place is Hyde Park, and he said it's not really Hyde Park that located in London but in Haido Park.
But I'm still not understand why can Hayde Park become Haido Park, is anyone can explain about this?

Haido is how Japanese pronounce Hyde.

Please specify the source of your manga. Third party scanlation typically don't transliterate names properly.

@ʇosɥıuonʞʎonʞo already updated my question, it's around chapter 499 - 403

@SakuraiTomoko eh? so it's more like a pun?

@JTR Yup. See Michael McQuade's answer

I'll be basing my answer off the anime adaption of these chapters, which took place in episode 425.
There were three possible victims this time, all of them were candidates for the House of Representatives in Japan. This number is based off the fact that there would be three interviews. The letters "DJ" were overheard as the target and the place they overheard for this murder was "Eddie P."
When Haibara is asked what Eddie P is she states that P means that it is a park.
Later, Conan gets a call from Ran and answers in his normal Conan facade. Jodie notices this and calls him out on it saying that he has a double personality:

This triggers Conan to think about the following clues:

Hunting Ground
History
Park
Double Personality

Besides history, which is just something Vermouth mentioned as this is an old story, these clues are all elements of the Jekyll & Hyde story; from these clues Conan remembers the scene of Mouri Kogoro flipping through the Jekyll & Hyde book.
The closest you can transliterate Jekyll & Hyde in Japanese Katakana is ジキルとハイド. ハイド can be wrote in Romaji as Haido (it's also the way it is pronounced). From here Conan concludes that it must be Haido park and they manage to get there before the camera crew.

Names of towns and streets in Detective Conan are excerpts from actual names of places and streets in London or the UK in general.
Haido park, once translated into properly pronounced English is going to be Hyde park which is an actual park in London. Another example is Beika street, once also translated into properly pronounced english is going to be Baker street which is a street in the UK and also the same street Sherlock Holmes lived in.

Did Hana Hana no Mi give the user superhuman strength?
Hana Hana no Mi is eaten by Nico Robin, as we know that she can grow parts of her body.
She usually grow her hands to attack, or to defend her. She also can swing or lift her or other people with her growing hands.
She can easily break the bones of her opponents, just like when she used clutch or twist.
I know that if her body parts are hurts, she also feels the pain. But is that mean when she used clutch or twist, she used her "normal" human strength?
Because she doesn't seems no trouble when do that to her opponents. Or it's because the Hana Hana no Mi that also give her superhuman strength?

I don't understand the question. Obviously the plethora of extra limbs magically appearing is a superhuman power.   Are you asking whether the limbs themselves are granted superhuman strength as a result of the fruit (or if the limbs are explicitly duplicates of her own limbs and therefore have her strength)?

Oh, yeah, I mean her strength, superhuman strength, edited.

If you are asking whether Robin was given superhuman strength by the fruit's powers, the answer is no. The duplicated limbs she creates are no stronger individually than her normal limbs.
To quote the One Piece wiki's page on the Hana Hana no Mi:

The strength of the user is also still limited to their individual strength, meaning that the individual strength in the replicating appendages is no different to that of Robin's actual corresponding limbs.

However, she can get around that by creating multiple limbs so as to subdue larger people or move heavier objects, as she demonstrated during her fights against Yama and Oars, among others, but even then she has her limits, as she noted how heavy Yama was during her fight with him. The fruit itself doesn't make her any physically stronger, she just uses her powers creatively to make up for her weaknesses.

ooh okay, I get it, thanks for explanation

I believe it is. Robin will not be able to control such huge limbs if the fruit did not give her any superhuman power. Furthermore, Robin's body is so thin and does not look like she's having any physical training.

Actually, those huge limbs she creates are not single, extra-large limbs; they're made from several normal-sized limbs that she puts together to form a single large limb. Besides, even if they were a single one, they're still part of her body and not a heavy item, so I assume she'd have no problem moving them anyway.
