Are Board of Education members immune to Death Feedback?
As we know from anime (I'm not familiar neither with manga or novel), Board of Education is responsible for disposing ("expelling from school/academy") of problematic student, who may turn to Akkis or Karma Demons. They may use variety of methods to do so - Bakenezumi assassins, nekodamashi, poisoned medicine etc. I'm sure that when they are ordering nekodamashi to kill student, they do realize, that they will be actual cause of death of another person.
We can see from several occasions (temple monk after killing living library, Saki after her plan to kill Akki was success), that even small allusion, that you are killing another human, may lead to heavy consequences, if not death.
So, my question is - are Board of Education members immune to Death Feedback? Numerous people were killed after their order, but it seems, that it does not affect any of Board of Education members at all.

Somehow they've figured out that using additional objects or creatures to carry out the actual killing is a workaround which doesn't trigger the death feedback reaction. I suspect it was made clear at the time the death feedback was invented and introduced to people. There had to be some way to kill the deviants and possible mass murderers in case some genetic or other type of disorder prevented death feedback from preventing more deaths as intended.

Seems nice answer, but as for me, such backdoors are negating the very
meaning of Death Feedback - ensuring that one human will not kill another. Well, anyway, I don't think there will be another explanation, so I suppose, we can mark this as certain mindset, which is necessary for Board members; similar to how Saki handled her Dead Feedback impact after tricking pseudo-Akki. Or they are not even "programmed" to have Death Feedback, but that would violate their rules even more.

What are the deeper meanings in Berserk?
I'm referencing the first season of Berserk in this question, not the new 2016 continuation (I haven't finished that yet, so please don't spoil it for me).
As I've been watching Berserk, I've noticed that I enjoy two aspects of the show. I love how gory and action-driven the show is (the fight scenes are awesome), but I also enjoy the deeper meanings that the show portrays with its character development and plot. For example, I like the general coming-of-age style of Guts' narrative, and I have noticed other religious motifs throughout the show.
However, I haven't been able to explicitly "nail down" the big themes. I was wondering if anyone could extract the most prevalent themes from the show and help explain them to me (similar to critical analysis in a college-level literacy class). What are the deeper meanings in Berserk? Does it have to do with religion? Friendship? Loss? Life purpose and direction? Is it commenting on history and war?

This is a very wide question and will draw much opionated answers. But it is interesting to note that Berserk is not just your run of mill manga. I'll try to keep my answer limited to the Golden Age Arc (Spoilers for Golden Age thus are inevitable) and try to reference an Interview I'd read from Miura - Berserk artist Kentaro Miura interview. Also note, The links provided may not be spoiler free, but are here as source and additional reading RELATED to the answer but not a answer to the question.
Inspirations: Berserk in itself has many concious and sub-conscious inspirations,

I was a manga reader. There are things that I’ve consciously borrowed from, but there are also things that have sunk to the bottom of my consciousness and pop up out of nowhere later. They’ve become part of me. Violence Jack and Guin Saga are things I was obviously really into, and I do think that Guin Saga was the biggest source for this fantasy universe. That atmosphere it has just stuck with me and now I think of it as the standard to measure things against, so I suppose you’re right.

In that interview Miura mentions his high school life and themes of friendship and goals in life.

I don’t know what relationships between boys these days are like, but back in the eighties, boys were really obsessed with stuff like how good their friends were at things, how highly they “ranked” in comparison to their friends, etc. For boys, friendship isn’t about consoling each other. Sometimes you even try to take the other guy down a peg or two. But to break away from those friends would feel like admitting defeat, and you do help each other when you find some sort of goal. That’s where the Band of the Hawk comes from.

Going from there, the major theme in Berserk is about your dreams. The complete Golden Age Arc is about the purpose of life, fulfilling your dream and price of achieving them.
Guts and Griffith are polar opposites of each other, but draw close enough for Griffith to make him privy to details he had never told anyone, his dreams. These dreams put a rift in Guts own idealogical framework leading him to leave the band. This reversal of roles from the start of series leads to Griffith's downfall. After his rescue, he decides the "price of achieving his dreams" and activates the King's Behelit.
What we see is

Quality of life: If you don’t pursue your dreams, then you live the mediocre life, being more susceptible to become affected by those that are ambitious, but it’s safer and less risky.  (Peasants, villagers, small-role characters)
Purpose in life : Guts realization that Grifith's dream doesn't give his life the purpose he wants drives the interlude of the first arc. He leaves the band to find his dream
However, it also points to what is really important in life. To complete your dream you shouldn't lose sight of whats truly important. Minor Spoilers.

 Guts dream is to kill Griffith, but in his anger he leaves Casca alone who is the one person above all he values. This is covered in the future arcs and the 2016 Anime. He also gains new comrades (kinda).

Griffith lost sigh of this and in the end lost himself. He later sacrificed everyone in order to achieve his dream. The ending shows that the dreams/desires can corrupt even the best of men.

There are other minor themes that come into play are

Berserk and Friedrich Nietzsche: This is something that is well documented. Miura's Berserk is very similar to Nietzsche's philosphy.
Struggler Skull Knight's name for Guts is very apt. It is a commentary on the Nietzsche philosphy above. How guts struggles and survives.
Religion. We see many religious symbolism and analogies in Berserk. https://www.reddit.com/r/Berserk/comments/1wvqit/thoughts_on_religious_analogies_in_berserk/
War and History: Berserk is a fantasy manga with Historical overtones (set in a medieval like period) But it does provide an insight into how wars were fought. A little of tactics, diplomacy, motivations of different individuals and the human nature itself.
Fate/Free will: Are we bound by fate or we have our own destiny in our hands. Are there forces dictating the flow of our lives?
Idea of Evil: Evil comes from inside or outside? Godhand, Behelits etc.

Why are there outlying towns/cities on the walls in Shingeki no Kyoujin?
For example, this here:

Why does it need to jut out of the walls instead of just being inside the walls to begin with?

It is explained in manga Chapter 2 afterwords.

You should realize, that walls are long. I mean, really long. And it is impossible even to watch over wall, not to mention protecting it. So such districts do exist, to attract all titans attention, since it is much easier to protect small district than miles of wall.

And I assume the reason that the city isn't simply placed just inside the wall (at the edge) is so that in case the outer wall is breached the main wall isn't compromised.

This is explained at the beginning of episode 2:

So-called outlier districts like Shiganshina jut out like thorns at vital spots along Wall Maria. Their basic function is to streamline troop dispersal and keep security costs down by drawing titans into specific areas. The calculated design flaw in outlier districts is that they have only a single gate through which its citizens are able to retreat deeper inwards, should the need arise.

Since the walls are rather long, defending them in their entirety is difficult and costly. With the presence of the outlier districts, the titans will be drawn to these districts and will be less inclined to attack the wall at random. (This is because they are attracted to humans, and there is a greater population density at these specific parts of the wall). The defense against the titans can then be focused in these areas, becoming easier and more effective.

I am also only familiar with SnK up to the end of the anime (although I've also skimmed through a lot of the manga after that section before), so I am not going to know if any later developments would make for a deeper answer.

I have read the Manga up to date and this is the only explanation. Further revelations about the titans did nothing to change this logic.

There's also to consider that a door is a weak point in the wall, so it needs additional protection from attacks; the city does exactly that, provide an extra layer of protection and acts as a cushion and a pen, to contain and dispatch giants more easily.

Since this has been troublesome for many to understand- I will provide an explanation. The towns are there to keep the titans at bay- giving soldiers something to grapple onto. The towns also have Cannon defense, which will be fine for help. However, if you look onto the picture on the LEFT SIDE, you will see titans approaching the wall. The DISTRICT more or less attracts the titans keeping them away from Shiganshina.

Why did Rayquaza get a mega evolution?
In the pokemon series, the trio of Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza both gained new powers after mega evolution was discovered, but why did Groudon and Kyogre get a primal form and Rayquaza got a mega, is it possibly because Rayquaza doesn't have a orb?

Rayquaza has a Jade Orb in the games (HGSS).

Were you looking for an answer from the video game perspective or from the anime/manga perspective?

I've not watched the new Pokemon episodes or played the ORAS Games. So this answer is a culmination of research and not first hand information.
A google search lead me to a reddit where this has been discussed. Why Rayquaza Didn't get a Primal Form. I also read through several forums and blog post that led to "plot" and the "game story". However, one of the comments seemed pretty logical to me.

It's been stated that Rayquaza went Mega instead of Primal, because Primal means being in an anger driven state, only guided by instinct, which is why the Primals just try to seek for the most power possible while Mega Evolutions completely retain their state of mind.

According to the reddit,

We know that primal reversion is when Kyogre and Groudon revert to their ancient states in which they had even more massive amounts of power than they do now, but Rayquaza was not like them and had enough power to stop the primal forms even in its normal state. Zinnia provided this information in the Delta Episode while she is explaining the mural to you at the end of the story. She also says that when a large meteorite was going to hit the Earth, Rayquaza gained more power through the bond between it and the ancient people of Hoenn, i.e. mega evolution.

Read the player dialogue with Zinnia to understand more. The story told between floors enumerate this. This also gives insight into the actual Mega Evolution process, i.e. Rayquaza was the first pokemon to Mega-Evolve.
Source : Bulbapedia - Zinnia

It was humanity's wish that brought about Rayquaza's transformation in the face of the rainbow stone... Yes... A wish... An intangible thing, invisible to the eye. Yet this wish bound people and Pokémon together, enabling the Legendary Pokémon to change its appearance... Doesn't it remind you of something? That's right... It sounds like Mega Evolution, doesn't it?"

TL;DR Rayquaza in itself is more powerful then the 2 Primals who reverted to their ancient form in anger and more power. Rayquaza, however went Mega to save the ancient people of Hoenn from another disaster in a seperate event. BSTs hwoever disagree with this.
Base Stat Totals:
Rayquaza 105/150/90/150/90/95 = 680
Rayquaza-Mega 105/180/100/180/100/115 = 780
Kyogre 100/100/90/150/140/90 = 670
Kyogre-Primal 100/150/90/180/160/90 = 770
Groudon 100/150/140/100/90/90 = 670
Groudon-Primal 100/180/160/150/90/90 = 770

thanks for the great answer, could you also add in some sources that support the fact that being angry triggers Groudon and Kyogre to be primal form please? i don't remember anything from that during the game play

@Dragon Please read the bulbapedia page. There the dialogue between the Game MC and Zinnia is covered, where Zinnia tells the tale of Rayquaza in ORAS

@Dragon Please don't edit answers yourself, unless needed. The part you added was already covered in the reddit quote. I emphed that part.

sorry about that, i just thought maybe if i add that in it will be easier to sum up. i won't do it again, i apologize for my mistakes

Great answer. A note however: the BST part is completely unnecessary. The Anime largely ignores such things, and this is Anime.SE, not Arqade.

I feel like Kyogre and Groudon don't go Primal because they're angry triggers. I feel like it's more like having a lust for power, or something. If there WAS a Primal Rayquaza, It would basically only be Mega Rayquaza, only more powerful. Plus, going Primal doesn't count as Mega Evolution, so you could use Primal Rayquaza AND a Mega all in one battle.That would be especially useful when battling a really strong trainer, like if you challenge the League again.

Why does Betelgeuse freak out at the presence of a "lesser spirit" in episode 22?
The moment I'm talking about is episode 22 of the anime when he's possessing the body of a female cult member, and a little red ball comes swirling by.
Is there any additional significance to it that I'm not aware of or just Betelgeuse being crazy?
Watching the next episode makes me better aware of the fact Julius was keeping an eye on Subaru. However I assume there's little Julius/Ia could have done to help (or he would've done that already considering the rather dire lifethreatening situation Subaru was, being crushed into the tree).

I suspect that the nature of Betelgeuse's presence and possession of bodies is based on mechanics of these spirits. So if a spirit of evil/sin/chaos meets a spirit of good/order, it's potentially very bad news for them both. But in this case the good spirit is self-sufficient, and Betelgeuse's spirit is at a disadvantage somehow because it has to possess a body to manifest itself. Just my guess. I think we might see it explained in the later episodes.

After Betelgeuse die he became some sort of quasi spirit himself allowing him to possess those who are spirit compatible or lacking in sanity, in this case the fingers , Subaru and skip by the anime, Julius (The guy got his own issue).
Julius however cannot be possessed due to having six guardian spirits. This did not allow him to choose Julius as a host after the last of the fingers were eliminated but instead tried for the next best thing which is Subaru. if he did tried to possessed Julius. Betelgeuse must fight against the other six spirits and that can cause severe pain to the mind of the host which may cause him to be ejected and die for real.
Subaru to was having the same problem like Betelgeuse but we saw it much clearly, severe headache when the spirit try to cleanse him of Ram illusion
Even when Subaru has IA ,Julius lesser fire spirit to help him Subaru is not the true pact wielder of the spirit making him vulnerable to possession.
But still wanting Julius as a body due to his more powerful body Subaru was taken hostage to try to get Julius to get rid of his pact , not wanting Julius his friend (and himself)  getting possessed and wreaking havoc he ask to be killed by Felix . Felix in turn ruin Subaru Gate causing his blood to boil (see episode 5 death) and Julius tearfully end his life for that loop.

How and why does Wilhelm win against Theresia?
So we know that Reinhard is brokenly overpowered with all the blessings he has.
(A google of "re zero reinhard blessings" will bring up a fair number of sources describing roughly the same list.)
Even if we assume that his grandmother Theresia only had the Sword Saint one "Sword Saint: Swordsmanship maxes out, and become able to draw Raid, the Dragon Sword.".
How does Wilhelm defeat her in a sword fight as witnessed in the anime, before they sort of become a couple. Does the light novel or web novel shed more light on this?
Or did Wilhelm seriously outfight the sword saint in a sword fight? I assume she still had at least the sword saint blessing, as their grandchild Reinhard didn't exist yet to take the blessing from her yet.

Judging by character synopsis on Wiki, it was not covered by all. He simply left during Demi-Humans War, and then returned and defeated Theresia.
One thing - I'm not sure, that Divine Blessing of Sword Saint gives its owner perfect swordsman skills. I suppose, Theresia only had certain fixed swordsman skill level, obtained by blessing. But Wilhelm spent years for training and a lots of effort to gain his skills. So, it is not that strange, that, if taking into account only swordsmanship skills, it was possible for ordinary human to overcome Sword Saint in duel. Maybe, if Theresia were to use any of other her blessings, she would defeat Wilhelm.

What are the differences between the Major anime and manga
While watching the major anime recently. I noticed quite a few differences in regards to the violence, which was greatly reduced in the anime. I also noticed that some team names were different. Such as the "Yokohama Marine Stars" being "Yokohama Blue Ocean" In the anime.
Are there any other significant changes in the anime as opposed to the manga?

Picked up from wikipedia, Major(Manga)

Team names

The "Yokohama Marine Stars" in the manga became "Yokohama Blue Oceans" in the anime.
The "Tokyo Shians" in the manga became "Tokyo Warriors" in the anime.

Many violent scenes (mostly physical fighting) in the manga were either greatly toned down, or completely removed in the anime.
The match between the Kaido Junior Varsity and Varsity teams

In the manga, Toshiya Sato's home run in the 7th inning was worth 2 runs, placing the JV team in the lead. The 8th and 9th innings quickly ended without incident or anyone scoring.
In the anime, Sato's home run was only a solo home run. Gorō gave up run in the 8th inning, but hit a 2-run home run off the Varsity team's ace pitcher and took back the lead. The 9th inning ended without either team scoring.
In the manga, Mayumura was never on the field. In the anime, he helped to make a hit in the 8th inning, to see if Shigeno has the ability to follow up with a game-winning home run, instead of having to rely on Sato in the 9th inning.

The birth of Chiharu and the retirement of Hideki Shigeno. In the anime, the birth of Chiharu and the retirement of Hideki Shigeno both happened a few years later than the manga timeline.
Ryoko Kawase

Kawase's plot elements in Season 2 and 3 of the anime were not present in the original manga. In the manga, there was no mention of her after the little league match. Kaoru Shimizu decided to go to Seishu after Komori's encouragement; Taiga pitched the 300 practice sliders to Gorō with his injured hand.

Ayane

When Gorō first moved back to Mifune, and was asking directions to Mifune East, the person who gave the wrong directions in the manga was Yamane (intentionally). In the anime it was Ayane (unintentionally).
Ayane's plot elements in Season 3 of the anime were not present in the original manga. In the manga, there was no mention of her after Gorō and Toshiya began school in Kaido.

red-haired crew, no devil fruit, still really strong?
I've heard on many online forums that the red haired crew is the only crew with all Human Pirates. What exactly is that makes the crew so exceptionally strong and the captain -Shanks- being one of the four emperors.
They've been portrayed really strong, in the Marine ford arc, several admirals also Blackbeard and his crew were afraid of fighting them, Admiral Kizaru -who also seems really strong- was shut down just by a look from Ben Beckman.
What exactly is their extent of powers being normal human being and have they shown it in any episodes?

Right now we know very little about their abilities.  We do not know whether they have any Devil Fruits. Even Shanks, who we know did not have a devil fruit when he lost his arm, could have eaten one more recently.
That being said many strong characters don't have devil fruits.  Silvers stopped Kizaru and was shown swimming later. The majority of the Strawhats still do not have Devil Fruits including 2 of the 3 strongest fighters.
Haki (and possibly Sea Stone) seems to allow non-Devil Fruit users to fight evenly with Devil Fruit users. Shanks has been shown to have incredibly powerful Conqueror's Haki to the extent that he damaged Whitebeard's ship with no visible effort or action.  It is likely several others (especially those who halted admirals) have Haki too.
We know that Ben Beckman is the smartest person to come from the East Blue which puts him above both Nami and Captain Kuro (man of 1000 plans). Yassop is a powerful sniper like Ussop (who is more skilled that a platoon of WG soldiers despite appearances).  Rockstar had a bounty of 94,000,000 Beri.
We literally only know the names of 5 of Shank's crew (the above and Lucky Roo) though we have seen several more.  There is no telling what insane abilities each member of the crew might have when we know so little.  The few we do know were able to at least intimidate marine admirals.  There is more out of universe (fan theory really) evidence that one day Sanji will confront Kizaru and Zoro will confront Fujitora. I don't think anyone would doubt that they are powerful crew mates and will likely never rely on devil fruit powers.

Admittedly, I don't address the "human" part of the question.  Honestly I didn't see that written there before I finished my answer.

How do you know so much about the Red Haired crew? I have read the manga and seen the anime (without fillers) and I have never seen a reference to Beckman's intelligence, or heard/read the names of Rockstar or Lucky Roo :-/ did I miss anything somewhere or does this information come from another source?

@Gravinco Ben Beckman's intellegence is from an SBS. Oda says Nami is the third most intellegent from the east blue below Ben and then Kuro. Kuro is my favorite villain so that is easy to remember. Lucky Roo is the fat guy from romance dawn who shot the bandit while eating a joint of meat. I remember his name thanks to old fan theories about him being the fastest man alive.  I didn't remember Rockstar; I had to read the wiki on him. Apparently he was the one who took a message from Shanks to Whitebeard which the latter tore up (I think i barely remember that).

So you remember the names of Lucky Roo and Rockstar from sources other than manga/anime, they weren't mentioned there? (Just double-checking because otherwise I'd have to read/watch again xD )

@Gravinco The names are canon.  I was just answering why I remembered them.  Lucky Roo's name was revealled in Vol. 5 SBS.  Ironically, it reads as follows "And the meat-eating fat guy's name is Lucky Roo. There's really no need to remember something like that, but since I got asked enough, I might as well clear it up."  Rockstar is formally introduced in Vol. 25 chapter 243 (again according to the wiki which agregates this stuff that isn't worth remembering).

Light's actions before hiding his death note
I recently started watching Death Note and have reached episode 17's end.
Light hid his notebook in the jungle, could he not have killed L? I know that L said that would  make Light the prime suspect but what if he writes the cause of death to be a slowly degentrative disease like Huntington's (which would make it VERY ironic given how proud L is of his track record)? He can make it kill L early by specifying his date of death like he did with Ray Penber's fiancé. And L would become less and less useful as he loses control over his body.
This method would be especially convincing since no one has yet (as far as I have seen in the series) discovered that he can determine the cause of people's death.

In-Universe Explanation
Simply because he can't. Light doesn't know L's name to write in the Death Note. You also have to realise L's intelligence and the level of wits they are matching. L made tremendous precautions and implied to Light that he knew how the Note works. He had also made it clear that if he died in the near future, Light is to be the primary suspect for Kira.
Additionaly, the write has given us multiple Rules of Deathnote. Among them the following relate to this scenario. The 23 day rule plays into the fact that 23 days is in the near future and L dying in that period would make the police suspicious of Light.

If you write die of disease with a specific disease's name and the person's time of death, there must be a sufficient amount of time for the disease to progress. If the set time is too tight, the victim will die of a heart attack after 6 minutes and 40 seconds after completing the Death Note.
If you write, die of disease for the cause of death, but only write a specific time of death without the actual name of disease, the human will die from an adequate disease. But the Death Note can only operate within 23 days (in the human calendar). This is called the 23 day rule.
If you write die of disease like before with a specific disease's name, but without a specific time, if it takes more than 24 days for the human to die the 23 day rule will not take effect and the human will die at an adequate time depending on the disease.
How to Use: XXVII/XXVIII

It may also be physically impossible for Deathnote to give a genetic disease. So L may still die from a Heart Attack. Though we have no idea about L's family since he was indeed an orphan.Huntington's Disease
Out-Universe Explanation You need to remember this is an Anime, and using such obscure tactics wouldn't make it easily understandable. The point is to understand this is indeed a fantasy thriller anime, that is meant to be an engaging match of wits and not knowledge. Light is just a high school student and not a medical doctor who is trying to find out obscure ways to kill the individual. Point I am trying to make is that the "Rules of Death Note" may be a writing device to cover such plot holes, but they may or may not be enough to cover all.

I object that he could not know his name, he had Rem on his side and since Misa knew his name she could haave easily told Rem. Rem might even have seen L's name herself. But the 23 day rule was not known to me which renders my theory useless.

Also, L already treated Light as the primary suspect even after episode 'Execution' he could have easily fooled the task force with by lending his death note. All that said the 23 day rule really puts up some real limitations.

@AkshatBatra I’m pretty sure that there is another rule out there that while Shinigami will always know any person’s real name (they do have Shinigami eyes, after all) they are forbidden to tell any human. I don’t know where I would find quoteable material, though.

@AkshatBatra Misa didn't know L's name either. She was immediately captured when she came to face with L. Later when she got her memories back, she couldn't remember L's name either. Also as Jan said, Ryuk/Rem wouldn't tell L's name to Light.

I know she was taken immediately, but she saw L's face and could have told his name to Rem during her torture so she can tell it to Light. That is assuming that Rem was not present when Misa met L. But again, @Jan says something about a rule that does not permit her to. So, once again my theories are crippled by the death note's rules

Also, if Light was so concerned about not becoming the prime suspect due to what L said to the task force, why does he snear when Misa saw L? He even commented how everything would be fine now that Misa knows his name.

@AkshatBatra If you rewatch that particular scene, Light assumed he had won, he would simply ask Misa L's name and kill him at his convenience. Misa even commented that "this  ma'n's name is not Ryuzaaki"or something. However when Light calls Misa after excusing from L, L answers MIsa's phone and informs Light that Misa Amane had been captured for suspicions of being the 2nd Kira.

Who is the boy at the end of Feng Shen Ji Season 3?
Some people say he is Shen Yen, but how? They don't look alike at all, and Shen Yen should have been dead by then. So, who is this boy?

The boy is Wei Shan, Kong Que's son who we have all forgotten about.

He is said to be the next Shen Yen for two reasons:

He is a firm believer of Shen Yen's ideals. Also, he has a crystal clenched in his fist and a pair of eyes burning for revenge in the last pages.
The five white marks above his eyes, likely the source of power for the five different rays of light possessed by Kong Xuan (whom Wei Shan is modeled after), look oddly like Shen Yen's eyes.

How many years Goku and Vegeta were training in Dragon Ball Super?
As far as I recall, there were at least 3 times when they spent time training. - When Vegeta ask Wiss to train him, he spent months traning before Goku's arrival. Later with Goku, they were placed in that strange dimensions where they learnt how to control differently their kis and where they ate all Beerus's pizzas that was hidden in Wiss's staff (so they had to be a while there I guess) , and later they trained in the room of spirit and time for I dont know how many years. You could add Goku's training before fighting Beerus and Freezer I guess. Is there any rough figure you can make from the anime or manga of how many years they were training already?

Before Goku arrived at Beerus' planet, Vegeta has trained for six months under Whis.
It is not cleared whether how long Goku and Vegeta trained together before entering the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. By speculating, they probably spent about 4 months together while Frieza was training.
Well, in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, they recognize that the place they're in is similar to Kami's Lookout's Hyperbolic Time Chamber but filled with god ki.

Time passes 365.24 times faster in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber than in the real world, making one day outside the chamber equal to 365.24 days within it (one solar year)

We can calculate how long does Goku and Vegeta spent in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber by counting how many pizzas they had eaten.

From the scene where Whis returns all the pizzas from his staff, there are all 10 boxes of pizzas came out of the staff. Let say Goku and Vegeta each ate 1 box of pizza every day, which means in 5 days, they will consumed a total of 10 boxes of pizzas. And now, by calculating the time dilation, spending 5 days in Hyperbolic Time Chamber will make around 20 minutes outside of the chamber. This is quite accurate considering the Z Warriors fighting 1000 Frieza's soldiers, while each person will be fighting around 170 soldiers (or 1 soldier per 7 seconds).
During Universe 6 Saga. they train for three years in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
In total, they have trained about 3 years and 10 months together.

lol, I thought I was going to be the only freak who was about to calculate how much time Goku and Vegeta spent in the alternate dimension by counting how many pizzas they've eaten, I'm not alone in the world :')

This is stupid. Goku or Vegeta are capable of finishing all those pizza's in an hour if they wanted to xD

Where is Yui stored in SAO II?
We know that Yui was saved in Kirito's NervGear's local memory in the first season of Sword Art Online but in in the second season when Kirito is in Gun Gale Online, when everyone is watching Battle of Bullets Yui is there with everyone else watching it in ALO. she also talks to Asuna on her phone when she heads off to the hospital and in Agil's bar when Kirito sets up the cameras for her.
in all of these cases Kirito isn't using his NervGear and i would suspect it is turned off. so where is Yui now stored? and how is she able to go from this place to ALO, Asuna's Mobile and the cameras in Agil's bar?

She is moved to ALO server which is maintained by Asuna's family.

@NamikazeSheena i don't think that's correct unless Asuna's Family also owns Ymir. if it's true though would like some citation on that

I believe she gets moved over to Kirito's phone at some point (It's been a while since I read the light novels, so I'm unsure on that), so maybe she's able to join up with Asuna and the rest of the gang through an internet connection?

According to a Q&A session1 (EX00～Face to Face～) in the third popularity contest held by Kawahara Reki, as Kunori Fumio (his webnovel penname), in 2005:
Her core program routine runs and is stored in the local memory of Kirito's NerveGear and takes up about 3TB.
1 Chinese-translated copy of the Q&A session

Here's an English translation of the same Q&A session: http://www.taptaptaptaptap.net/sao-qna-yui-asuna/

Ok here's the real answer taken straight from the 5th light novel:

When Aincrad was on the verge of collapsing, her core program was saved to
  Kazuto’s Nerve Gear and was spared from being deleted. Currently, in
  Kazuto’s room, she was «living» inside a dedicated stationary-type
  machine prepared by him.
But, direct contact with Yui was only possible exclusively under a
  full dive environment - in other words, within ALO only. Although in
  the real world you could use a mobile phone and have her there, the
  battery capacity was not long enough and they could not «always be
  together».

Also, it was meant to be Kirito going into GGO alone without risking anyone else so of course Yui stayed with Asuna.

I take it the dedicated stationary-type machine isn't just Kirito's old NerveGear but some other piece of equipment?

According to Wiki page, she exists in Kirito's NerveGear. Apparently, she connects to game servers and different devices from there through internet connection.

Her program is locater in Kirito's Nervegear hard drive. Kirito during GGO left his helm (probably turned on) in home so she can freely live in ALO. About these devise contacting. She is a program with free access to internet so she can connect herself to devices via internet.

What was Ging trying to accomplish at the election of the 13th Chairman?
What was Ging trying to accomplish at the election of the 13th Chairman? It seemed that he had a plan and that everything went according to it, excepting the part where Pariston resigned from his position of Chairman. What was his full plan and what was he truly trying to accomplish (his final target)? Did he really wanted Pariston to be the 13th Chairman or his plan had a continuation?

I think his plan is to prevent Pariston to be the 13th Chairman,  but i dont know the full plan.

@Marcio.Rezende it means that his plan failed, because in the end Pariston became the 13th Chairman... but after seeing Gon entering the voting hall he said: "I knew that's gonna happen... but still this doesn't make it easier". Which means that he had everything under control (even Gon's coming). Who knows... probably he wasn't expecting for Gon to vote for Pariston in the end. That's what "probably" has broken the course of his plans.

thas true, probably he wants to find some one to made the same role of Pariston when he was the second of Netero? Netero choose Pariston because he is very different of him self, to have a balance, but i dont know how Ging will interfere in this or if hes do all this in the Neteros name, some special request maybe. I dont know

From Ging's actions I like to think he wanted to have some fun. He just wanted to manipulate people into doing something he had already predicted. Like Pariston he didn't have his eyes on the presidential seat. His interactions with Cheadle, Leorio etc. seem to be always aimed towards creating chaos.
I think this line sums up his motivations in the 12th election

"If I can get my target to move as I want, I've succeeded as a Hunter." - Ging Freecs

Does Luffy touch his enemies in Gear Second?
Though it was apparently obvious in some cases, Luffy's fight with Magellan made me a bit skeptical.

At the initial punch (Jet Pistol) Luffy touched the venomous body of Magellan, causing him extreme pain.
In a later scene of the same fight, he used Jet Pistol to overcome his Hydra, but no sign of touching was shown.

In fact, in numerous cases, the way G2 works is ambiguous - some scenes imply that the pure speed even without touch creates an air pressure "sphere" that nevertheless causes huge injury when hits the target. Examples were seen in case of Blueno and much later, Doflamingo.
On the other hand, when he defeated Lucci, it was clearly shown that he actually punches him, and in several other cases it's often visible.
Which one is right? Or is itt possible that Luffy combines both?

Short Answer: Yes he is. He is just so fast that the hand is back where he started before the opponent feels the impact. Thus creating multiple impacts in some moves like Jet Gatling, almost instantaneously.
Long Answer:
What exactly is Gear Second?
Gear Second is somewhat similar to what in real life we call "Blood Doping". Luffy achieves this by leveraging the fact that is complete body and not just the skin is made of rubber. Thus his blood Vessels and Heart can sustain tremendous blood pressure that no normal human could survive. Using his Hands/feet as pumps, Luffy increases his blood flow in the whole body or just parts (Post-Timeskip)

Essentially Luffy increases the blood flow by forcing more blood through his blood vessels thus increase his fighting ability. This mode's enhancements to Luffy's physiology giving him the ability to use a new, stronger set of techniques which are generally the same as his old ones, but are so fast that even a skilled assassin would have a hard time actually seeing them

Source: Gear Second: Overview and techniques
Also note,

Most of the techniques in this mode are named the same as the regular attacks with "Jet" added after the "Gomu Gomu no" prefix

These are just much much faster and thus have the incredibly high damage due to the impulsive nature of the impact. (Defined in physics as: A large force applied for a very short duration)
Also note the description of some of the moves.

Gomu Gomu no Jet Pistol:  Luffy delivers a Gomu Gomu no Pistol so fast that the fist's movement is invisible, and it truly seems like he shoots his opponent[..]
Gomu Gomu no Jet Gatling: [..]Luffy stands still, bends forward and moves his arms upwards at speeds which they can no longer be seen, leaving only jet streams in their place[..] The hits land so fast that, after a volley, they seemingly connect simultaneously. The circles of air bursts from the punches surrounding Luffy, resemble the many barrels of an actual Gatling gun.

From these descriptions and analyzing Luffy's powers we can assume he has to touch the opponent for the desired effect. The attack you are thinking of is shown to be achieved by Bartholomew Kuma, who can use hi DF power to repel air using his palms.

But then how could he punch away Magellan's Hydra without being poisoned again? It just happened once and I wonder if it was a "mistake".

@Katamori I am not sure if I remember correctly. In his first fight Luffy is poisoned and kept punching until he was out. In the next fight he covered himself with Mr.3's Candle wax before attacking Magellan. I can't remember any other instance where he touched Magellan's poison.

Jet pistol is actually shooting out air bullets, like a normal pistol does with normal bullets.
Depending on the attack he uses he may or may not need to touch the enemy, attacks like the jet bazooka, and the jet axe need to make contact with the opponent to do damage, while others, like the jet gatling and jet pistol do not.

How does Subaru hold his own against Felt?
Considering his confession that he was a good for nothing NEET in a later episode before Rem re-motivates him, how/why does he have the physique and competence to hold his own Jackie Chan style against Felt?

It was revealed to us that for some reason he has a strength greater than he's used to in the real world. There's really too much factual information we don't know.

While he is a NEET, he does mention in an early episode that he's not a complete shut-in, and does take some effort to keep in shape. That, combined with a slight increase in physical ability that apparently came to him in the new dimension are apparently enough for him to hold his own against Felt in that instance.

Is Vegeta now capable to transform to SSJ3 or SSJG?
Vegeta has achieved the SSJB power, so should we infer that he is capable to transform to other less powerful transformations seen on Goku?

How to Achieve SSJ3 Transformation
Well, there are no concrete way to achieve that form, Goku discovered SSJ3 form while doing training in the Other World. It is possible that according to Goku, time does not exist in the afterlife; as such, using Super Saiyan 3 there is easier. For Gotenks' case, they are basically geniuses at SSJ as they are 1/2 Human 1/2 Saiyan Hybrid. I covered this topic here (Are half-blooded Saiyans stronger than pure-blooded Saiyans?).
Could Vegeta Achieve SSJ3 Transformation
Also, there are no official answers to that yet. In theory, Vegeta did have the power, and he was strong and capable enough to achieve it. If he train in the Otherworld after he died during Buu Saga, he might push himself forward a bit more, making him easier to achieve the form. Vegeta witnessed Goku fighting Kid Buu in SSJ3 form, he understood that it was extremely powerful, yet it had serious drawbacks. It notably leads to extended levels of fatigue, even long after powering down. Through training, Super Saiyan 2 actually seems to be a more reliable, stable and more effective form. But, as always, vegeta spends all of his time playing catch up that he never even thought to consider a possibility of a form beyond Super Saiyan 2.
How to Achieve SSJG Transformation
This was easy. It is done by performing a ritual. It requires 6 pure hearted saiyans hold hands in a circle and transfer their ki into the Saiyan who is becoming the Super Saiyan God.

Goku is selected as the main Saiyan because you know, he's the main character. In episode 9 of Dragon Ball Super, Goku said he'll make Vegeta the next one if he failed becoming Super Saiyan God through the ritual.
Could Vegeta Achieve SSJG Transformation
In theory, yes, very likely. Vegeta could have achieved SSJG form if he's the main one during the ritual, but yet it doesn't have concrete proof on that.

According to this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFWiOzVUB7E
or this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP3XyAEwA5o (SPOILER)

 in the manga #22 Vegeta is seen in the Super Saiyan God (red) transformation.

So it would be official Vegeta can get one of them (see the spoiler section to see which one)

What does Satella whisper to Subaru as he spams declarations of his return by death?
The answer here How and why is Subaru connected to the Witch (Satella)? hints that it might be "I love you", and that communication with Satella becomes clearer the more Subaru dies (and more loops trigger, bringing his timeline/world closer to Satella's). [Citation needed]
What does Satella tell Subaru as he spams declarations of his ability? I was wondering if she generally says the same thing each time (so removing the case when Subaru took Betelgeuse along for the ride), if it was intentionally muted in the anime in previous instances. Does the LN/WN have her silently whisper?

She says "I love you".
Source from reddit

From what's been hinted at in the web novels I think she whispered "I love you"

A commenter named "Mitrospeed" on a certain anime site who has a great knowledge of both Light and Web Novel also said the following in his review to episode 20:

Subaru makes use of the one thing that makes him somewhat useful which is his role as a bait. He tries to spread the witch’s miasma and attract the whale with it. But for the first time we see a difference. Behind him we can see a shadowy figure which clearly seems to be Satella. You can lipread what she says; it’s "I love you".

I cannot confirm that it really lipreads to "I love you", but I see no reason to distrust the commenter.

Was there any hint of the year before it is revealed?
Before we find out that there is a three year gap between Taki and Mitsuha, were there any visible signs that the audience could have determined the date gap with? The anime has recent technology such as smart phones but it seems that the year was always absent from the screen when they were in the diary application or memos.
They were sorted by date, but seemingly neither of them noticed that there was a time gap until this moment. Odd that they could go to school and never have to write the year down on their papers they submit, but I'm just wondering if there was any way for us, as viewers, to have noticed the date discrepancy beforehand?

What I first noticed as a discrepancy and wrongly attributed as an animation mistake turned out to be foreshadowing of the three-year gap:

Taki's and Mitsuha's phone screens at around the 28:17 and 28:54 marks, showing September 12 as a Monday and a Thursday, respectively.
If we were to assume the time in Kimi no Na wa. corresponds to ours in real life, then we can reason that the only years in recent times in which September 12 was/will be a Thursday or a Monday are: 2011 (Monday), 2013 (Thursday), 2016 (Monday), 2019 (Thursday) and 2022 (Monday).
However you look at it, there is a three-year gap, except between 2011 and 2013, but we can rule that one out.
In fact, we can pinpoint the exact years (2013/2016) in the anime before the revelation of the time gap if we make the following observations:

Taki's smartphone is an iPhone 6s in space gray, the only finish with a black faceplate.
iPhone 6s was first released on September 25, 2015.
Mitsuha's smartphone is an iPhone 5s.
It could not have been an iPhone 5 as noted in the Kimi no Na wa. Official Visual Guide (page 110), due to the redesigned front camera and the new home button integrated with a Touch ID sensor that were first introduced with the iPhone 5s.
Either the props design was intentionally rough, or that after the release of the iPhone SE, Makoto Shinkai noticed its extreme similarity to the iPhone 5s and took advantage of it, as well as its convenient release date, March 31, 2016, to help mask the time gap.
He even went as far as giving Mitsuha a rose gold colored phone protector, which only became available as a finish since iPhone 6s, to further confuse us of the time Mitsuha was living in.
iPhone 5s was released in Japan on September 20, 2013, eight days after the September 12 screenshotted above (is that an oversight?) and almost three years before its doppelganger, the iPhone SE, would be released (that's a three-year time gap right there!).
The only meteor confirmed to have resulted in a large number of casualties is the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor, which, like in the movie, also split into two main fragments after the primary airburst disruption.
As a reminder, the fictional Itomori Accident occurred on October 4, 2013.

However, the first true hint was given much earlier, in the fascinating OP:

Notice here Taki suddenly grew taller while Mitsuha remained the same height.

Then in the 12-key-frames animation sequence that basically summarized the film, Makoto Shinkai is again playing tricks on us with the changing outfits, some of which are seasonal uniform switches, by pretending that Mitsuha also moved up in grades when in fact she did not.
According to Learn All About Japanese Girls’ School Uniforms and Become an Expert!,

Except for the warm season, girls usually wear sweaters or vests. Unless they have a school sweater or vest that they have to wear, they usually choose their own. The basic colors would be white, black, gray, and beige.

The sweaters are not part of the school uniform, but her own, as further supported by the three schoolmates who showed up for Mitsuha's confession each wearing a sweater of a different color.

Taki woke up as himself again, and saw that Mitsuha arranged a date for him. He dressed up and runs to Onodera senpai.
The scene where Okudera Senpai and Taki just met to start the date...
on 38:41, you can see taki already wearing the red ribbon

on 39:09, you will see mitsuha tying her hair with the ribbon

Mitsuha (on the picture above) on the other hand, also woke up as herself and start to dress up before going to school. But ended up ditching class and goes to tokyo to see Taki's "date".
This was supposed to be the day she will hand out the ribbon to Taki. But on the present situation, Taki was already wearing the ribbon as a bracelet which indicates that there is already a time difference.

Actually, during the party at Tessie's place around 14:00 mark, there's a calendar hanging on the closet near Tessie which has its year displayed as "2013" and only appeared for about 10 seconds (and most of the time blocked by Tessie's dad's body). *Pirated version's resolution is way too low to find this even if you strained your eyes to the maximum. So watch it in a cinema or buy the Blu-ray version. (Click to enlarge picture)

But there's a more obvious clue while Mitsuha went to high school as Taki. While he (she) was staring into the classroom and wondering whether he should step in before being interrupted by Tsukasa, there's a poster on the door showing the annual "High School Music Fest 2016". Around 21:00 mark

*BTW, there's a critical error that must to be fixed before NA or Blu-Ray release: In the last switch, Taki was discussing with Mitsuha's friends about the evacuation plan and searching on the web. The Google logo was a total misuse since it's the version of the current one which released in a late 2015 major update.

On the part where they were just discovering that they were switching bodies...
On Mitsuhi's phone September 12 is a thursday (29:08)
On Taki's phone September 12 is a monday (29:54)
In real time, sep. 12, 2013 is actually a thursday and sep. 12, 2016 is monday.

This is already pointed out in Gaos answer

Did griffin know about the beleith's activation?
I just binge watched all 25 episodes of the berserk anime and I am curious to if Griffith knew that the Beleith was activating when the eclipse started? When they were in the river he thought to himself

Stay away from me... If you so much as touch my shoulder we can never go back.

Did that have any significance?
I haven't read the manga and from what I've researched there is no second season to it.

You're thinking of chapter 72-73 of the manga, if you want to look it up (Volume 12).
Griffith sits in the lake, picks up the Behelit and remembers what Zodd and Wyald told him. "Use it. Call them. Our guardian angels!". As the solar eclipse happens, he most definitely realizes.
He then crawls backwards, away from the rest of the Band, hoping to not draw them Edit: Guts into the eclipse.
On the matter of sequels, the actual series has no second season. There are the 2013 movies (Berserk: The Golden Age) or the 2016 series ("Berserk 2016").

"hoping to not draw them into the eclipse."  That sounds like an awfully nice interpretation of Griffith's final moments before ascending.  Griffith was always dead set on sacrificing anything and anyone to achieve his goal of ruling his own country, including his entire army.  It was the shocking realization that he couldn't bear the loss of Guts, one of his stepping stones, and the idea that he could actually be defeated and left by one, that caused his downfall.  Griffith's retreat always struck me as "they might try to stop this, but I cannot let them get in my way again".

Uh, yeah, I don't know why I wrote "them" over Guts really. I was even looking through the book at the time, and Guts (and no one else) is in half of every panel on the actual page. I'll update my answer to better reflect this. It's very obvious that Griffith at least knows what's going to happen - even his helmet sweats in the final panel.

Are cursed children vulnerable to varanium?
In Black Bullet all cursed children carry the Gastrea virus, basically making them Human/Gastrea hybrids. It is shown that Varanium harm the Gastrea.
Now, the question is are cursed children vulnerable to Varanium, or does their human side grant them immunity?

To be honest, I thought I remembered a conversation about how Varanium affects cursed children in the anime... but it really has been too long for me to really remember. ... The show's been due for a rewatch from me anyway lol

So after reading the light novel, I can now answer my own question. Cursed Children are in fact vulnerable to Varanium.

"But something seems strange...," said Enju. "Ever since coming here, I've been feeling excited for some reason." Enju opened and closed her hands curiously. Of course you would, agreed Rentaro silently. The Varanium that Gastrea so hated also had an effect on Enju and the other girls, who were all infected with small amounts of the virus. Most Initiators, when they went outside the Monoliths, felt temporarily better, or even high. Their wounds also healed faster.

So clearly while inside the Monoliths the Cursed Children feel their effect. While it is clearly not deadly to them it does have an effect on them. It is also possible for Gastrea to survive inside of the Monoliths, though it seems impossible for them to pass between them. The difference is probably that Cursed Children only carry a small amount of the Gastrea virus inside them while a regular Gastrea carries a large amount.
The following passage shows that Varanium bullets have the same effect on Cursed Children as they do on Gastrea

Enju's wound showed no sign of healing and was still oozing blood. Varanium bullets prevented a Gastrea from regenerating after being wounded, and it was no different for Initiators who were able to regenerate thanks to the Gastrea virus. Facing Varanium weapons, the was as vulnerable as a regular human being.

Please use the block quote markdown (> blockquote) instead of the source code markdown.

Varaniums are used as bullets. So far cursed children aren't shown to be bullet proof, albeit their superior physical strength. So of course cursed children would still get hurt if they are shot using it.
As for whether the damage would escalate due to the gastrea virus in them or not, it can't be said for sure for there hasn't been any scene that shows a living cursed children shot by it yet. I said living since when Rentarou shot the type Dolphin cursed children, Kayo, she was already dying from the damages she received and the amount of gastrea virus in her has exceeded the critical value. The bullet used by Rentarou there would definitely be a varanium bullet as they were in a battle against gastrea and normal bullet don't work against gastrea, which would means that there is no reason for him to bring normal bullet with him.
As shown in the scene where Rentarou received Enju's exam report, the critical value or the limit of gastrea virus inside a cursed children's body before they turned into gastrea is 50%. Thus, at the time Kayo was shot, she is already more of a gastrea than a human. Because of that, if Kayo received a Super Effective damage from being shot, it would be arguably because she is already more gastrea than human.
Just touching is okay, as shown when Enju touched Rentarou's arm which is made of Varanium, although arguably she might be okay since it wasn't a direct contact due to Rentarou's skin.
The other use of Varanium is as monolith to prevent gastrea from entering the populated area. As far as I recall, there was no scene where Enju or any other cursed children touched the monolith.

Dying with a SMILE
In the One-Piece manga and anime they showed that when a devil-fruit user dies, his ability leaves his body, and materialises in a nearby fruit (like how Smiley's axolotl or and Ace's flare-flare ability became a new fruit).
But what happens if you dye with a SMILE in your body? Does that become a proper devil fruit, a new SMILE fruit or it never becomes a new fruit?

SMILE fruits are man-made Devil-fruits. That being said they have not been completely talked about in depth. We saw previews of side-effects from users. The episodes on Punk-Hazard with Caeser Clown talk a little about SMILEs but nothing about when a person dies. We see that a side-effect may be the fact that the person has a hard time transforming back to a human and may also get black horns (Island of Zou, Zou Arc).
Because the fruits are man-made and have obvious flaws, I would guess that they would not be recreated if someone died, otherwise there would be no need for multiple factories. That is an opinion though.

How much is A.K. willing to pay for Mirai's nude photos?
On two occasions in the Kyoukai no Kanata anime franchise, Ayaka disclosed to Mirai how much A.K. (Akihito Kanbara) would pay for her nude photos. The first time was at 16:55 in episode 5 of the main series, but Ayaka's fingers covered most of the pay check so we aren't privy to the modeling fees.

Then Ayaka bargained again in episode 2 of the Mini Theater, but it wasn't helpful that her voice was censored when she spoke of the modeling fees. However, five 10,000 yen notes were shown onscreen.

Are we to take ¥50,000 as the price A.K. is willing to pay for Mirai's nude photos?

I don't think so, it's probably just a sensible amount of banknotes to depict on screen as a symbol of "money cash dough green $_$ ka-ching" effect

The exact amount was never disclosed. speculation is as far as you can go with that question but id say more than 50k

10000 yen, 20000 yen, 30000 yen, 50000 yen by A.K., 100000 yen by Mare. Sold!

Why can Tobi not just use space-time ninjutsu to capture Bee and Naruto?
Since Obito can travel through space-time, I wonder why he didn't just teleport to all those jinchuuriki? He could then easily bring them to an Akatsuki hideout where the combined force of them could capture them without others interfering.

He would have to know where exactly the Jinchuuriki are and have that place marked or else he wouldn't be able to teleport there.

Well, it would be a good start to teleport into their villages. Then the chances are high to find them there.
But what else besides the unknown whereabouts hinders him from doing so?

I get the feeling he could have, though it would have been very difficult since they are both very powerful and frequently under watch, especially in the village. He would be unable to restrain them since his genjutsu would not be very effective, so no matter what he would have a fight on his hands. His best hope would be when they are out of the village, but he has to find them first, and then be able to actually fight anyone guarding him as well.

@Ms.Steel Obito don't need to mark places to teleport. You're mistaking his jutsu with 4th Hokage's.

@AyaseEri maybe, but I'm pretty sure he even said he had to have the place marked or else he couldn't teleport there.

I believe it was he has to know the place before he can teleport to it.

The answer is because of the nature of his jutsu. His jutsu works by moving whole or part of his body into the other space. His jutsu has a weakness in that the bigger the object he is transporting, the longer the time needed for him to do it. This was noted by Konan and was mentioned during the fight between Konan and Tobi when the latter was about to retrieve the Rinnegan from Nagato's corpse. If I remember correctly, to move his entire body he needs about 5 seconds.
Now add another person to the equation and you get 10 whole seconds before he can do the jutsu successfully. 10 seconds next to a Jinchuuriki that knows you're going to kill him. There's no way they're just going to sit tight and enjoy the trip. So this makes kidnapping the Jinchuuriki and ganging up on them at the hideout like you're suggesting as an impossible thing to do.

Story gap between Manga Arc 2 and 3?
So I have finished the anime and been reading the manga but after Arc 2 when Subaru and Ram decide to go after Rem it abruptly finishes and Arc 3 starts after the battle with the demon dog. Soo does that mean there is no manga chapters for that fight? Or will it be released later? Or there are the manga chapters but I couldn't find them..?

I don't know where you are reading this but there are different adsptations of each arc that run seperately.

The Manga For Arc 2 and Arc 3 is published at the same time with different Mangaka
Arc 3,Truth From Zero Mangaka (Daichi Matsue) draw the first ones, A Day in the Capital) also and his work published in Comic Alive.
The 2nd Manga Arc 2, A Week in The Mansion drawn by Makoto Fugetsu is published by Big Gangan
Both are not finished as of my writing (19/10/2016).

When should I watch The New Captain, Shusuke Amagai Arc?
I re watching Bleach with all the fillers, the problem is that The New Captain, Shusuke Amagai Arc interrupts the story. So my question is where could this filler arc fit in most seamlessly ?

I haven't seen past there yet but from my understanding the next arc after that continues on from after Ichigo's fight with Grimmjow in Las Noches as indicated by wikipedia

The episodes' plot continues to follow Ichigo Kurosaki's and his friends' battle against the Espada, the strongest of former Soul Reaper Captain Sōsuke Aizen's army, to rescue Orihime Inoue.

Source: Wikipedia - Bleach (Season 10)
also i do recall in the first episode of Season 9 the narration says the follow events occur before the sneak entry into Hueco Mundo. there is also some evidence to indicate that this is before then mainly that Chad and Rukia aren't thought to have been killed as it is implied near to the end of Season 9.
Ofcause being filler it's not canon and the contradicting evidence is with Chad and Uryu who were actually still training before the sneak entry yet they show to have their new powers which were only revealed after they entered Hueco Mundo (remember that Chad was being trained by Kisuke and Kisuke snuck Uryu out of the training room he was in when he expected Ichigo to defy the Soul Society and rescue Orihime)
Ignoring this contradiction one can assume that it takes place before Orihime was kidnapped but after Ichigo started training with the Visord (due to him being able to Hollowfy)

if i thought this occurred after they get back from Hueco Mundo i would be wondering where Nel is. even if they had to stay in Hueco Mundo the impact of their parting is now greatly less than what i would be because we know ahead of time she's not coming out of Hueco Mundo

It's one of those arcs where they spontaneously jumped out of the Hueco Mundo business into god knows when, hell in the post credit gag sequences not even Ichigo knows what the bloody hell is going on

The beginning states that "this is a story that COULD have happened" which means, in my mind, that it takes place in an alternate reality where Orihime wasnt kidnapped (yet) and so the team is training to fight Aizen whenever he ends up attacking, and thus have gained their new abilities before such an attack would occur.

I know this question is old but I'd like to say that it is shown that Chad uses his upgraded right arm and new left arm in the filler, which means that it can only have happened after his fight with the fallen Espada which was when he received those new powers.

Can Sanji use COA(Color of Arms/Busoshoku)?
He didn't use it on Punk Hazard and he wasn't on Dressrosa. However it was mentioned in the manga when he battled his father in the current whole cake island arc that his haki is strong but it was not specified which haki.
Can Sanji use armament?

Yes, Sanji can use CoA, even if it was not shown yet to my knowledge. We know this from Chapter 668, when Law asks Luffy who of his crew is able to fight Caesar, a Logia user.

Hmm. That's interesting. I didn't start reading the manga until after the dressrosa arc ended. So when I started reading they just had the party and were on the way to Zou. How did Luffy know that they could use Haki? We didn't see Zoro's until he fought Pica.

@KazRodgers We don't know for sure. Either they discussed it after the reunion in Shabaody islands, or - which is my own opinion, one who has mastered Haki is able to sense others, which I think will be especially true for someone like Luffy who can use Haoshoku Haki.

Yes, he can use it. It was even stated when he was fighting his father in chapter 833: he was blocking his spear attacks and Judge said that he did not expect him to have Haki.

What was Nezu stuffing into his briefcase?
In the film, after burning loads of documents with his aides, a tank barrels into his estate and Nezu (over)stuffs a briefcase with papers before fleeing.
What were these papers? They did not appear to be money, and if they were documents that needed to be destroyed, why would he have taken them with him?

I remember that scene.  Those documents appeared to be bond certificates, stock certificates, and/or other financially worth keeping documents.

Why is Chi-Chi less of a a nag on Goten?
Re-watching Dragon Ball Z I have noticed that Chi-Chi's main goal in DBZ was to stop Gohan from training and force him to study instead. But once the Cell arc finishes and Goten is born. Chi-Chi doesn't treat him the same way.
It blew my mind that she even let him train at all but apparently through training with her Goten was able to transform into a super saiyan.
My question is why? Is it because Goku officially passed on so her character developed a bit? I never actually actuallly thought about it until now.

I thought Chi-Chi herself explained this: Gohan was a docile and peaceful child--early on, all he does in a conflict situation is cry and ask for his mom and dad, until eventually going berserk; whereas Goten was energetic and combative (in a "good" way).  So she accepted his nature, knew he was going to get into this sort of thing regardless, and worked with it as best as she could to guide him. Gohan was always a reluctant warrior.  He had great power, but he only ever learned fighting out of necessity, and would have preferred not doing so.  Goten fought because he wanted to.

There could be one another reason that Chi-Chi saw Goku in Goten as Goten does resemble Goku when he was a child. And for this reason, she personally trained Goten, so he could be as strong as his father!

My take is basically the same as those commercials that start with the worried obsessive mother and the first child:  She is so frantic about everything she ends up messing things up.
Second child happens, and she has everything nailed down.  Experience from the first child has her less stressed with the second child, and she knows a bit of what to expect and how to handle things.

What happened to Naruto's grandparents?
Was Kushina the last of the Uzumaki clan and if not why did none of her family take Naruto on as an orphan? Who was the Namikaze's and why have we never heard of another one?
Were both Kushina and Minato orphans themselves? What is the story behind Naruto's extended family?

The Uzumaki clan and it's village was destroyed some time after Kushina came to Konoha. Survivors went into hiding and and spread throughout the world.
It is unlikely that direct relatives of Kushina survived.
Regarding Minatos parents we just don't know anything about them.
But considering that the third shinobi world war took place at that time where even children barely out of the academy were send to fight it might be a reasonable assumption that his parents died in it.
Sources:
Minato
Kushina
Uzumaki clan
3rd Shinobi World War

Do you think that Karin is related to Kushina?

@NeilMeyer both are from the Uzumaki clan. How close they are related is unknown.

Kishi really needs to make that Minato series.

@NeilMeyer if he does, I'm pretty sure it won't reveal as much.

@AkiraMahisaseru CHECK ou the result of that spinoff poll.

put right before Kushina got kidnapped she went inside the apartment and asked if anyone was home like she had parents and we all know that orphans in Naruto don't get adopted

This makes absolutely no sense. Please provide any manga chapter or episode number to support your answer

Origin of the king punch
In the beginning of the Dressrosa arc Luffy enters a championship to win his late brother's devil fruit, the Mera Mera no Mi. During the even in the Block B battle, Elizabello II uses his king punch to pretty much take down everybody (except Bartolomeo).
What is the origin of Elizabello's power? Does he use a devil fruit or is he born as an ancient weapon (like Pluton or Poseidon aka. Shirahoshi? Or is that simply physical strength?

It is simply physical strength... combined with flair put in by Oda.
There are a lot of odd abilities in one piece that are not devil fruits or have any real explanation.  Sanji legs catch fire and don't burn him.  Zoro makes tornadoes. Fishmen summon water from thin air.  The king's punch is odd in our world but, there, it is just a very strong punch that takes a lot of focus, warming up, and talent to use.
There doesn't appear to be any haki, devil fruit, or weapons.

Who are these Tsukihime characters?
In the third volume of the Tsukihime manga, an illustration (possibly NSFW) of a number of female characters at a hot spring appears.
I can recognize most of the characters here. (Akiha stands outside of the bath with the twins Hisui and Kohaku; Arcueid is sitting on a stone surface, with Len at her feet; the girl left of Arcueid is Yumizuka; and Ciel is wearing her glasses.) However, I don't recognize the blonde character with green eyes or the brunette with a bathing cap.

Who are these two characters?

The blonde is Nanako or Seven because her name is short for the Seventh Holy Scripture.

The Seventh Holy Scripture was created from combining the horn of a dead Unicorn that, had turned into a nature spirit and the soul of a young woman, who gave her life willingly in order to achieve this.

Nanako is the spirit of that gun Ciel had in Tsukihime. However, she doesn't make an appearance in human form until Kagetsu Tohya in one of the side stories, Nanako-chan S.O.S. She is also mentioned by Akihiko himself on occasion
The girl with the bathing cap is Miyako Arima.

She is Tohno Shiki's cousin as well as step-sister when Shiki was adopted into the Arima family after the incident between him and SHIKI. She's mentioned in Tsukihime and Kagetsu Tohya but she doesn't make an appearance until Melty Blood, generally in the routes involving the Tohno family (as opposed to the routes dealing with Night of Wallachia).
She is also the main character in Hana no Miyako.

Hana no Miyako is a parallel spin-off, not directly related to Tsukihime.

Why is Chiisaku Natta Meitantei considered the "real" first episode?
MyAnimeList has published a database entry for Detective Conan: Episode One - Chiisaku Natta Meitantei.
In this entry, the synopsis reads:

The "real" episode 1 of Detective Conan written by the Mangaka Gosho Aoyama.

What makes this episode the "real" first episode? Was the story in the original first episode not by the mangaka?

That is a two-hour remake of the original 1st episode, in celebration of the anime celebrating 20 years in broadcast. The special retells what happened on the day Shinichi’s was transformed into the body of a child. The special includes new scenes that weren't in the original manga or the first anime episode.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_g9zHvMXBQ

It is because in first episode shown in anime they made certain changes from the manga. The new first episode is going to be fully made according to the manga. For example, in the manga Shinichi was viewing the transaction through a camera, but in the anime Shinichi was watching without using a camera.
Also, the original manga creator said he added new extra content which was not shown before but is important for upcoming events in the series

Are Mr.5 and Miss Valentine still alive?
While I'm yet to reach the current parts of the story, a friend told meg that in the Dressrosa Arc, two characters appeared, using the Bomb-Bomb and the Ton-Ton Fruit, the same used by the two former Baroque Works members named in the title.
However, the Wiki has no mention of these cases, making me assume that canonically, either they are not dead or said DF abilities don't appear.
What is the case?

The Ton-Ton no mi was eaten by Machivise.
The Pamu-Pamu no Mi was eaten by Gladius.
The two fruits eaten by Miss Valentine and Mr. 5 are the Kilo-Kilo no mi and Bomu-Bomu no mi respectively.
The Kilo-Kilo no mi and the Ton-Ton no mi are both similar but they have differences:

The Kilo-Kilo no mi allows a user to change their weight from 1 - 10,000 kg. This means the user can decrease their weight below normal as well as increase it up to 10,000 kg.
The Ton-Ton no mi allows a user to increase their weight by presumably any amount

The Bomu-Bomu no mi and the Pamu-Pamu no mi are also indeed similar but have differences, which are noted on the Wikia page for Pamu-Pamu no mi:

This ability is very similar to the Bomu Bomu no Mi, as they both involve explosions. The main difference is that while Mr. 5 is able to turn himself or any part of him into a bomb, Gladius can cause himself or inorganic objects to swell up and rupture explosively.

Both Miss Valentine and Mr. 5 are believed to be alive at this time.

So it was a major misunderstaning, thank you!

@Katamori Not a problem :>

If you read the manga you should at least know that they were alive up till past enies lobby, thanks to the shorts on the title page of every chapter

Was this samurai the inspiration for the blind general's character in One Piece?
This blind guy's attitude, facial expressions, and facial structure look very specifically like the blind samurai general in One Piece, who can lift mountains with his Devil Fruit powers. They even, from this short scene, have nearly identical personalities.
Did this movie character inspire the One Piece character, or is there no known relation?

Note: If anyone knows the actual names of these 2 characters, feel free to edit my question, as I know neither.

The blind samurai you're referring to is Zatoichi, and the blind Admiral in One Piece is named Issho, aka Fujitora. And yes, as revealed in SBS Volume 74, Fujitora was inspired by Zatoichi, and particularly his portrayal by Japanese actor Shintaro Katsu. Both swordsmen share quite a few characteristics, such as their blindness, proficiency with a sword, or their love of gambling.

Has Zoro ever called Sanji by his name?
I was rewatching One Piece, and I see that Sanji is the only crew member who is recruited without Zoro being around. Their strength and rivalry aside, what is most fun is the nicknames they keep calling each other with.
Strangely, I can't seem to find any instance where Zoro calls Sanji by his name. Has there been an instance where Zoro refers to Sanji by his name?

No. It wouldn't be fun if they were nice enough to each other to be calling first names. 'Pervert kappa' is the best nickname Sanji could get from Zorro.

Nope, so far he has never called him by his name, it was even referenced in a SBS with oda: http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_73#Chapter_729.2C_Page_162

@Proxy  Please put that as an answer... that is an awesome answer. Mr. Nosebleed....damn

Great find Proxy. Guess I was not the only one wondering. That dude actually got the number of different names... Now to find the new ones after the question!

Also, I see a couple downvotes. Constructive Crtitcism is always appreciated so please free to suggest Edits for improving the question.

Nope, so far he has never called him by his name, it was even referenced in a SBS with oda: SBS Volume 73, Chapter 729, Pg. 162
The user counted (with frequency) the various names that Zoro and Sanji used for each other. This was covered till Volume 66 of the manga so far.
Original quote and Editor Notes below: D: Dokusha (Reader);  O: Oda

D: Zoro and Sanji are always fighting! I was reading One Piece and thought it was odd that Zoro never seems to refer Sanji by his name, so I went back and checked!  I counted them up from Volume 5 to 66! Here are the results, ranked by frequency!!![..] In conclusion, Sanji does in fact refer to Zoro by name, but Zoro does not return the favor! P.N. Little Marron
O: ...Okay. Thank you very much, Little Marron! So you counted them all... This was very fun to read! Some of these terms made me wonder when they'd said these things. Indeed, I have trouble imagining Zoro calling him "Sanji" by name. Not once, eh? Wow. Well, they might not get along well, but they're both valuable, trustworthy men who have Luffy's back. So let's forgive them their squabbles (laughs).
Page 162: In the VIZ Manga, Zoro does call Sanji by his name a few times for the sake of context, but he does not say "Sanji" explicitly in the original Japanese.

Great find! I was tempted to go over the series again just to get an answer... you saved me quite some time!

Since link only answers are frowned upon, I edited a bit. Feel free to modify/revert. Nice find.

I see. No worries i'm glad it was helpful, but the credit goes to the user who was willing to go through the manga and count all the name references :P

Do all Uchihas have fire nature chakra?
I've read that when a certain chakra nature is hereditary for a specific clan, MOST of the members have an affinity for that chakra nature. However, it has been stated that the Uchihas are known for their fire nature chakra. Does this mean that a majority of the Uchihas had fire nature chakra, or that they all have it?
"Affinity can at times be genetic, or at least common to a particular family; most members of the Uchiha clan have an affinity towards the Fire nature." (http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Nature_Transformation#cite_ref-Element_1-0)

Yes, all Uchiha have their natural affinity towards Fire. It is like a default setting, to put it in simpler terms. In the article you provided, it also states that:

In general, every person's chakra has an affinity towards one of the five basic nature transformations.

Being the descendants of Indra Ōtsutsuki it is logical to think that every Uchiha in the clan would hold a natural affinity towards the Fire element:

[Indra] could use Yin Release, and, in the anime, was shown skilled in the usage of Fire and Lightning Release since his childhood.

Also, from the wiki article on the Uchiha Clan which might suggest that only true Uchiha have that affinity towards fire:

They also have an especially potent chakra quality as well as a natural affinity for the fire nature transformation; Uchiha are not truly considered adults until they can successfully perform the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

can you approve my edit?

Ero Sennin's answer is very good. I would also like to add that the Uchiha all use the Goukakyuu no jutsu. The official wiki states that:

The Uchiha clan uses this technique as a "coming of age" rite

This is just further proof that that the Uchiha all have a fire affinity, or else, this would not be a thing.

Can more than one person use the same type of Take Over magic?
In Fairy Tail there are Take Overs like Satan Soul, Beast Soul, etc. Would it be possible for more than one person to use a specific type of Take Over magic (like there would be 2 users of Satan Soul)? I wasn't sure if this magic changes depending on the individual so that all users have their own type of Take Over or if it is just learned this way.

Take Over is an advanced Caster-Type Transformation Magic. The different type of take overs shown in the Manga/Anime are Beast Soul, Animal Soul, Machina Soul, God Soul and Finally the takeover done by animals such as the Vulcan.
The description that we receive is that one can only take over the forms of "things" that you "know". In addition to these there may be other requirements for this magic. Most of the times its the defeat of the target is necessary.
In the canon ALL the Take Over Magic have been shown by unique users. The exact way to obtain any of the transformations is currently unknown. Thus it is unconfirmed if multiple users can use the same Take Over Magic.
However, from the nature of the transformations I personally classify them into the following. Thus it would be speculation to say if any of them are unique, I consider them to be of either kind. However, I consider the Lost Magics to be most unique. The answer below follows mostly my logic and speculation.
Beast Soul: Known User Elfman; Not Unique
Animal Soul: Known User Lisanna; Not Unique
Machina Soul: Known User Jenny; Not Unique
Satan Soul: Known User Mirajane; Unique
In the battle against Tartarus we learned a bit about Mirajane's abilities. It seems that she has some form of "Demon Factor" that allows her to use this powerful take over. She is immune to the Demon control techniques even opposing them. Thus it seems to be a unique transformation for her.
God Soul: Known user Dimaria (Spriggan 12); Unique
In this case we have a clear source of the unique nature of her takeover.

As the Valkyrie summons the ancient God of Time into her own body, Chronos explains to their audience that he has chosen her as his host as she is a descendant of the people of Mildian, an ancient city that worshiped him, also claiming that he and his host are a single being in this form. Source: Chapter 475

Thus the god Chronos chose Dimaria as the Vessel.

There isn't anything in the manga/anime which prevent this. Since the power is acquired by fighting the creature, there could be multiple users of the same take over. Although I don't remember any.

The ability to learn a takeover comes from their will also. The example I'll use is when Elfman tried to use Beast Soul the fist time and ended up killing Lisanna by accident. There are restrictions on what people can use based on their own will power and partly physical power to contain the Takeover in general. This is why Mirajane has a more powerful takeover than Elfman, she has more raw talent and a stronger will so she's not as easy to get taken over by the beast she is becoming.

UBW episode 25 true ending: Why is Rin sad whenever the sun sets/rises?
In UBW episode 25 whenever the sun rises/sets Rin looks at it with a sad and lost in thought expression. Why does that happen?

Because it reminds her of the last moments she had with Archer, from the previous episode.

The reason is because she remembers Archer. I'm gonna answer you referencing the visual novel as it is much easier to me. Notice that this conversation with Archer takes place in both endings, not just the true ending (visual novel source).
The first time we see Rin doing that is one month after the Grail War.

As you can see Rin is lost in thought. Then he says:
"Track team? No, I was always in the archery club."
"…I see. Well, I guess there are times like that. Seeing the setting sun just reminded me."
Telling me to forget about it, Tohsaka continues to drink the orange juice.

That is the scene Rin was looking at. As you can see the sun is setting.
Just after this CG Shirou thinks about archer:
"I recall that red figure one more time.
Neither this classroom nor that fight will change.
Everything is the same.
Everything is an illusion like a mirage that disappears when one turns around."
And the next CG is:
As you can see there is a setting sun. In UBW Rin has been seeing this scene in her dreams many times. Just like Shirou and Saber were connected in the fate route through dreams, Rin and Archer were connected in this route and she kept dreaming about Archer and those swords in a rising or setting sun.
I am sure she's thinking of Archer because he's the ONLY character that has made Rin cry. Rin never cries. She's always cold or even if she's not she just takes action, no one breaks her enough to cry.
Throughout the WHOLE game Rin has only cried 3 times, all of them in UBW, she doesn't cry in the fate route nor in Heaven's Feel.
The first time she cried was when having a dream about Archer. She woke up in tears, brushed them off and tried to start the day normally. Notice that a dent had already created. This time was just unconcious crying in a dream.
The next time she cried was when archer betrayed her to join caster. She told him that he's hers and that she would recover him and he'd regret what he did (as you can see these aren't exactly vengeful words. Seems more like she's gonna scold him).
Once Shirou tries to protect her he says some words to her and she starts crying. Later she hugs Shirou.
Notice that this time 2 people made her cry: Betrayal by Archer and Shirou being there risking his life for her.
The last time she cried was the longest time Rin has ever cried. It was her farewell to Archer. Notice that this part will be the real answer to your question.

She begs him to form a contract with her: "Archer. Form a contract with me again."
Archer says:
"I cannot do that. I do not know if you will keep your contract with Saber, but I am not qualified for that.
And I do not have a goal anymore. My battle ends here."
His reply is free of doubt and his will is strong.
His face is as bright as the rising sun, and how can she force him when he's making a face like that?"
Notice that Rin even thought about forcing him but saw there was nothing she could do. Notice the reference to the rising sun. Rin thinks: "His face is as bright as the rising sun".
All the time Rin is crying. Rin just cries for Archer:
"Man. I do not have any attachment to this world, but…"
It's troubling to have her cry.
For him, the girl always has to be a positive, indulgent realist.
He was always encouraged by her figure.
So he wants her to stay that way until the very end"
Notice that Rin changes for Archer/Shirou as Archer thinks. She's always realistic, never crying amd always taking action.

She knows Archer is not really Shirou, even if they had the same starting point. Her archer is a different person that she loves dearly and will never return.
…The future might change.
If a girl like her stays with Emiya Shirou, the hero Emiya should not be born.
His words contain such hope.
""Ar… cher…"
The boy and the man are two different existences.
They only have the same starting point, and he is an ideal that the boy dreamed of."
Notice that this CG appears A LOT. I remember thinking back when I played the VN that it was a very annoying CG. I think they showed the rising sun over 10 times. It always went lik this: Image of Rin and Archer - Image of the rising sun; image of Rin and Archer - Image of the rising sun and many times.
Even 2 years after that  she still makes that look when the sun is either setting or rising.
Last of all, you didn't ask about it but Shirou makes sad faces as well. He's thinking about saber.
At almost the beginning of the episode Rin asks Shirou to take a walk in the park after classes. He makes a sad expression and says it's nothing. Rin then makes a look of understanding.
The next day Rin takes Shirou to Glagow to allow him to pay his respects to Saber. “You remember how you told me that day that you wished you had the chance to say a proper goodbye. Now’s your chance”.
Once they reach the tomb Rin says: “I’ll give you some time alone” and goes away to prepare the picnic. Shirou then says his goodbye words in front of her tomb.  At the end he says: “Thanks for taking me there, it means a lot”.
In the happy ending he gets saber so that won't happen. Rin will still feel sad when the sun rises or sets though.

It would also be important to note that the only difference between the good and true endings is that in the good ending Shirou gives affection points to Saber. Considering that according to the anime, which Natsu made canon, Rin only runs towards Saber in the good ending, doing it for Shirou is certainly a big possibility considering how much she cares about him/Archer as we can see here.

There is another reason for her to be sad (apart from the one already said in the other answers). It would Shirou leaving the Clock tower. It would make her unhappy all the time.
At the beginning of the episode Rin is super happy. There's a blue sky and she runs with Shirou towards classes and smiles to him while asking him to walk with her after classes. But seconds later Shirou makes a sad look. A bit later Rin asks him to join the Clock Tower and sells it well:

Joining the magic assotiation isn't without its perks. As a matter of fact most people would jump at the idea

Shirou answers

Yeah, I guess you're right...

This would be Rin's happy ending. The other heroines get similar treatment. Saber and Shirou live in Avalon for all eternity after the fate route and Shirou and Sakura live in the Emiya house and he gives up being a hero.
This is what Rin was gonna do, be happy with him in the Clock Tower.
But then she remembers Archer. The next morning Shirou wakes up and Rin is besides him. It would appear she had been there for a while so maybe she had been looking at the sunrise while he slept.
My guess is that she remembers Archer. She had promised him to make Shirou happy, so she takes him to see saber.
Rin knows this will sway Shirou's mind towards what he really wants and it certainly does. When they return Rin's head is in Shirou's shoulder. She feels vulnerable and sad because of what her decision is gonna do.
The very next night Shirou says he has made up his mind to leave the magic Association. He asks:

Aren't you surprised?

Of course she wasn't, the visit to saber was so that he chose the path that leads him to happiness. She had had 1 whole year in London to visit Saber and she didn't (Shirou apparently didn't have the general knowledge that that place exists). Even though Rin says it's so that he can pay his respects to saber and he says thank you for taking me there, it means a lot, it has nothing to do with that. It is just for Shirou's happiness (against her own).
At the end of the episode she had probably been looking at the sun setting while waiting for Shirou. It reminds her yet again of Archer. She then says sweet things:

It will all lead to our happily ever after, I just know it

She also says she's gonna follow him. And at the end him (Archer) is smiling. Solitude was Archer's problem, now that Shirou has Rin by his side he can be a happy hero.
In Fate hollow Ataraxia (I haven't read it but I've seen the scene in youtube) there's a scene where we see future Rin. She says that she will give Shirou happiness more than anyone. His happiness comes before her own.
Conclusion: The beginning of the episode is the reality. Rin is very happy. She goes to her studies running and turning around and smiles to Shirou when telling him to take a walk with her after classes. The problems come when Shirou makes his sad face and Rin faces reality, that being together in the Clock tower is her dream world, not his. Giving up on that hurts her (specially since he had pretty much agreed to it), that's why she starts getting sad the following 2 days all the time.

To which Singaporean building does the one in this still correspond?
In the Yuri!!! on Ice end credits, we see a string of photos on social media featuring different characters. In one of them, Jean-Jacques Leroy is with some women in front of a Western-style building. The photo is tagged with #Singapore.

What location in Singapore does the building in this still correspond to? Other stills in the ED sequence without a "generic" background clearly have real-life counterparts, so it is likely that the same holds here. (The lion statue in one of Yuri Plisetsky's photos corresponds to that at the exterior of the State Russian Museum, the building in Michele Crispino's photo to the Florence Cathedral, and the location in Otabek Altin's to the Zhibek Zholy metro station in Kazakhstan.)

According to this wikia page and evident by photographs, it is the Raffles Hotel.

Ah, I must have overlooked that when looking up the character's name somehow. Oh well.

Kakashi's face without the mask
I was wondering if Kakashi's face has ever been revealed without the mask. I finished the manga way back in 2014. And decided to go finish the anime. And the thought came back. So any chance it has ever been revealed and when?

It was originally shown in the book Naruto Exhibition Official Guestbook New Style: Scroll of Wind (or Fū no Sho for short), which was given to the guests who attended a Naruto exhibition held in Japan on April 25, 2015.
Fū no Sho:

It was then adapted into an anime episode (ep. 469), which you can watch here.
By the way, this is how he looks like:

So fine.  he looks rather good

@Hansen, I know right. He's really handsome!

Thanks again. @Akira_Mahisaseru... I'm gonna watch the episode and draw him.

@Hansen, (just a random fact) you can see he doesn't have the Sharingan... Something that bothers me every damn day!!!

Oh. Right. I noticed too. If you read the wiki, it says he's incorrectedly depicted. Maybe a graphic error? Lol. And also the person he was acting as, Sukea or something like that, also didn't have the sharigan. It could have been contact lenses or something.

@Hansen, he was using contacts when he was dressed as Sukea... When I first read the chapter I noticed right away, and it really bothered me...

Oh. You have a copy of the omake?

I mean Fu no Sho? I dunno. But in the anime, since like there were a lot of dream filler episodes, something like popped up and it didn't really seem necessary to put in the sharingan since at the point of that battle, his sharingan had been removed and naruto had given him a normal eye back

But it's certainly creepy if you think about it.

Let us continue this discussion in chat.

Yes , it was revealed only in anime in 469 episode
You can watch it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns3Izj4Ul4U

What arc is this episode?

its not in a arc it is a filler episode

Oh. Yeah. I figured. But around what arc was this filler episode?

Was it during the infinite tsukinomi?

yes it is in the kagura arc only

you might want to add the screenshot here as well

Episode 469 of Naruto Shippuden. He show his face twice in that episode
