Why are Eren and Mikasa shown not to be in the Walls in some flashbacks?
Why is it that in some flashbacks that it appears that Eren and Mikasa aren't in the walls? and no I'm not talking about the little loop things, on the outer parts of the walls, like where Eren lived.

What is the "they" that you are referring to?

Some of the main characters, specifically, Eren and Mikasa.

Any supporting evidence how does it seem Eren and Mikasa are not in the walls? We know villages inside the walls are far away from each other. Major Citiies are just the protruding bits on the walls

The wall are very big and have a lot of woods so its in the wall

The walls are massive, so it is most likely they are in the walls, just in a remote part

Thank you, my dude, but one question, in the flashback when Mikasa was kidnapped, and Eren lied that he was lost, the other guy said it was dangoures to get lost, because of wolves, and i dont believe they would have wolves in there.

@uselesscrapyoudontneedto do you really think so? If taking into account values of wall radius in first episode of anime, total area between wall Maria and wall Rose is about 270k sq. kilometers. I really doubt it is not enough for full-fledged ecosystem including wolves.

Standard character, plot, and location spoilers for Season 1 and 2 of Attack on Titan, and corresponding material from the manga. Some things we know about
Mikasa's childhood home & the events that give us insight on its location:

It is a decent-sized wood house located in a rural area, surrounded by trees, at the base of a hill, in a mountain-like region. On the side of the house, they store a hefty pile of wood,  and none of the surrounding trees looked to be cut down so we can assume that the area in question is likely in a forest or near a forest at the base of a mountain  (Manga, Vol. 2, pg 36)
When Mikasa is kidnapped, she is taken to another rural location that shares the same wood-like housing structure, surrounded by trees, and with a mountain very close by in the back drop, and the house looks to be on an incline of some sort (Manga, Vol. 2, pg 42)
Shortly thereafter we get a brief flashback to a childhood memory that confirms the house is at the base of forest, and the house is also a farmland house (Manga, Vol.2, pg 62).
Now, we know that Eren lived at Shiganshina, and there are two forests on either side of this area, either being a plausible location for the location of Mikasa's childhood home. The area to the north east of Shiganshina is where the encounter with the Female titan takes place and so we know there's a forest there. The area to the north west of Shiganshina is where Krista's kidnapping occurs, so we know there's a forest there as well.
But, as mentioned above, the childhood home of Mikasa was located near or within a forest, and the forest was also near a decent-sized mountain range. Cross-referencing with the terrain provided in Volume 2 of the manga, only mountain ranges within any of the walls are north west of Shiganshina. There are no mountain ranges to the north east of Shiganshina (Manga, Vol. 2, pg 38)
Lastly, for the argument that Mikasa lived outside of the walls, remember that the location was close enough to Eren's home in Shiganshina that Eren and his father traveled to Mikasa's house by foot. And, in Attack on Titan, no one goes through titan territory without a horse. So, considering that they traveled to Mikasa's house by foot it would be safe to assume that the location they were traveling to was within Wall Maria but outside of Wall Rose.

That means that the most likely location for Mikasa's childhood home is somewhere near Chlorba, likely south east of it, but still within Wall Maria. At least until further information is released that proves otherwise.

What is Nami referring to in this this panel?
In chapter 852 (Possible Anime Spoilers ahead)

 when Jinbe saved Nami and Luffy from Book Worlds, Jinbe burn the book to save them. When Nami and Luffy finally escape from the book, Nami said"I get the feeling... We've been this through something like this before..."

What is exactly Nami referring to? I can't remember she ever escaping from a or something.

someone please help make the spoiler tag, its not working :(

it was from they were captured by Mr. 3 in Little Garden arc. Zoro tried to cut off his leg and they were freed by burning and melting the candle

Spoiler tags don't like line returns for whatever reason :/

@JTR Spoiler Tags gets messed up when you try to do rely on SE to read multi line. though it'll look horrible for larger/longer stuff if you replace the new lines with <br> you can get it to look almost the same

@Matt i suspect it might be because it's reading multi-line spoilers as multi-line quotes with ! at the start

@Darjeeling oh, that's right, usopp set fire to help nami, zoro, and vivi.

@Memor-X I thought it just the same like blockquote

The situation in this chapter plays out exactly as it had earlier before the time skip in the Little Garden Arc.
Situation:
A: Nami, Zoro and Vivi are captured and stuck in an impossible situation, Mr.3 has put them in his Candle Statue.
B: Luffy and Nami are captured and stuck in an impossible situation, Mont Dór has captured them in his books.
Suggested Resolution: Self Mutiliation
A: Zoro suggests escape by cutting off his legs
B: Luffy tries to escape by tearing off his limbs
Final Resolution: Burn everything down and escape in a blaze of fire
A: Usopp burns the candle stand down after Carue wraps it around with a rope.
B: Jinbe burns down the books freeing all the prisoners.
No wonder Nami knows this has happened before. :)

Oh, now I'm just remember about Zoro cutting off his legs!

What is the Liquor tax law in Japan?
When in the beginning of Kimi no na wa, Yotsuha asks Mitsuha to sell the sake they made in the festival and advertise it as Shrine Maiden sake and use the money to go to Tokyo, Mitsuha refuses saying that it breaks the Liquor Tax Law (or that's what the subtitles said).
What exactly is the Liquor Tax Law and how are they breaking it?

The specific law that Mitsuha mentions is called the 酒税法【しゅぜいほう】(shuzeihou) in Japanese. The Ministry of Justice does not presently have a translated version of this law (possibly because they haven't made translations as far back as 1953), but if it did, it would be located here.
In an article (in Japanese) about this specific scene, a lawyer (NISHIGUCHI Ryuuji) is asked about the legality of selling kuchikamizake. I have translated a part of the article:

According to Mr. Nishiguchi:
"Beverages with an alcohol content of more than 1% ABV are deemed 'alcoholic'.
"To produce alcoholic beverages, one must obtain a license from the director of the tax office within whose jurisdiction the production site falls. Producing alcoholic beverages without a license is a violation of the Liquor Tax Act.
"Article 54, Paragraph 1 of the Liquor Tax Act states: 'any person who produces an alcoholic beverage, yeast starter, or fermenting mash is subject to imprisonment with required labor for not more than 10 years, or a fine of not more than 1,000,000 yen'.
"If one were to produce kuchikamizake with an ethanol content of greater than 1%, it is possible that one would be subject to criminal penalties."
It appears that you can produce anything with an alcohol content of 1% or less without running afoul of the Liquor Tax Law. But some people produce umeshu [plum wine] in their homes. Wouldn't they be deemed to have produced an alcoholic beverage?
"There are exceptions.
"If you make homemade umeshu by adding ume [Japanese plum] to shochu, you are indeed deemed to have 'commingled' the alcoholic beverage with other substances and have 'produced' a new alcoholic beverage.
"However, consumers who prepare these beverages for their own personal consumption are deemed not to have 'produced' the beverage for the purposes of the Liquor Tax Law (Article 7; Article 43, Paragraph 11).
"That said, the production of kuchikamizake by fermenting rice would not be protected under this exception."

It would be worth nothing that the article you linked is specifically talking about the legality of the Shrine Maiden sake (kuchikamizake) made in Kimi no na wa.

I believe the Liquor Tax Law is more about importations so it may be a bit of topic or maybe a subtitle weakness. However, in Japan and also in many other countries, it is strictly prohibited to make and sell alcohols that exceed a certain degree. Furthermore, the alcohol market is anyway strongly kept into government control. Then, it is possible their homemade sake's alcohol degree exceed the limit fixed by the law.
Here you will find a decree about the japanese Liquor Tax Law.
Hope that helped.

Bear in mind that Mitsuha is a 17-year-old from a small, rural village, who has never held a job, unless you count being a miko. Her life has been quite sheltered, and I very much doubt that she is conversant with the details of the Liquor Tax Law.
She is clearly very embarrassed by Yotsuha’s suggestion, and I think she probably just said that to get Yotsuha to shut up about it. And because it’s funny, of course.

Who is the 9th Titan shifter?
SPOILERS
Read only if you are caught up to date with the latest manga chapter (93 in this case).
Before chapter 93 we knew

 that the 9 titan shifters are :
 1) Progenitor Titan aka Founding Titan -> Currently Eren Jaeger
 2) Attack Titan aka Assault Titan -> Currently Eren Jaeger
 3) Colossal Titan -> Currently Armin Arlert
 4) Female Titan -> Currently Annie Leonheart
 5) Armored Titan -> Currently Reiner Braun
 6) Beast Titan -> Currently Zeke Jaeger
 7) Cart Titan aka Mule Titan aka Quadrupedal Titan -> Peak
 8) Dancing Titan -> Ymir
 9) Jaw Titan -> Galliard

After reading chapter 93, interestingly we have:

 that the 9 titan shifters are :
 1) Progenitor Titan aka Founding Titan -> Currently Eren Jaeger
 2) Attack Titan aka Assault Titan -> Currently Eren Jaeger
 3) Colossal Titan -> Currently Armin Arlert
 4) Female Titan -> Currently Annie Leonheart
 5) Armored Titan -> Currently Reiner Braun
 6) Beast Titan -> Currently Zeke Jaeger
 7) Cart Titan aka Mule Titan aka Quadrupedal Titan -> Peak
 8) Dancing Titan aka Jaw Titan (are the same!!) -> Currently Galliard
 9) ?????????

Are there any hints so far?

I havent read the manga, I have only seen the anime and read a wikia, but isnt Bertolt supposed to be the one you mention to belong to Armin?

@Pablo please do not read spoilers. It is not worth it. Try reading the manga and everything will make sense :) I am sorry for spoiling.

I thought the 9th Titan was Galliards brother who was sent with Reiner en Bertholdt to Paradis Island and got eaten there by Ymir. From that point on Ymir was able to shift between her titan form and human form after wandering as a titan for over 60 years.

SPOILERS!! >! Yes we all thought so too, but Galliard ate Ymir, which either means that Galliard has two titan powers, or that he has the same titan as Ymir, which in turn means that the 9th titan is missing.

In Attack on Titan, Chapter 95, pages 16-17 we find out that the 9th Titan-Shifter is the

War Hammer Titan, which is currently in possession of the Tybur family who currently resides in Marley. We also find out that the War Hammer titan is not used for warfare and has never been used against any enemy state (of Marley). It is important to note that the Tybur family was the first family of titan-shifters to rebel against King Fritz in the Great Titan War and they carry a lot of political clout.

In Chapter 101, the identity of the 9th Titan-Shifter was revealed to be

Willy Tybur's sister.

Yeah I read it a couple of days ago. I will pick this as the answer

People seem to be forgetting something...after the great Titan war Marley had a total of 7 titans and the ones behind the walls had 2
Grisha Jaeger brought the attack titan from marely leaving marley with 6 titans  the six being Jaws Titan, Cart Titan, Colossal Titan, Female Titan, Armored titan, Beast Titan...
The Ninth Titan should be with the Eldians behind the walls which means someone behind the walls knows who or what it is and hasn't said yet

+1 because you are right, and I do agree with that. There's a theory actually that I recently read, but it's going to be a gigantic spoiler so I'm keeping my mouth shut

The 9th titan Is actually a winged titan. It makes sense if you consider the Marley downfall right now is how they can only rely on titans on land and their forces are weakening because of that. Yet the 9th titan is residing inside the Paradis walls.

All we have is Galliard saying that he did this to become "Jaws" by eating "Dancing" Ymir and that Reiner was very brotherly like and someone the team can count on. I think it is a lie. They would not just unceremoniously kill Ymir off-screen and also cause a serious plot hole of consuming a Titan shifter makes you become an entirely different type of Titan shifter.

Hi, Welcome to Anime and Manga SE. Adding sources (Chapters, Wikia etc.) which check out helps improve quality of the answer. You can use spoilers to set a bit of context for your answer as well.

i think the 9th titan is flying and is hidden somewhere near the paradise island. to back it up, marleyans are having problems since all of the ships that went to paradise island in all those years, none came back. also, there is their statement that they need a flying sort of battle artillery so they can just bombard their enemies from atop.

Who did Naruto summon?
On the last page of Naruto chapter 633 Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura use summoning techniques.
Who is the big frog that Naruto summoned?

UPDATE! This was confirmed in chapter 634.

Actually, based on the patterns on his body and face, I'd say that it's actually Gamakichi.
It's consistent with what this page on NarutoWiki says, although I don't know how reliable a source that is.

At first I thought it was Gamabunta. But based on the patterns on his body and face i think it is more Gamakichi.

It is Gamakichi, as Naruto himself confirmed. In turn, Gamakichi said that his dad (Gamabunta) was busy.

Naruto summoned Gamakichi.

Sasuke summoned Aoda.

Sakura summoned Katsuyu.

What are the bounties of the Yonko?
We know that the Yonko are one of the three great powers of the One Piece World. Though they are the four emperors ruling the second half of grand line, they are still Pirates in the eyes of the world government with some bounties set for each of them.
So can somebody tell what the current bounties (as of Jan 2020) of the present/past yonkos are?
Bounties for the guys I'm looking for:

Edward Newgate, Whitebeard (now deceased)
"Red-Haired" Shanks
Charlotte Linlin, Big Mom
Kaido of the Beasts
Marshall D. Teach, Blackbeard (took over as the Yonko after WB's death)

Note: Like the Shichibukai, even the Yonkos might not have their bounties active (I do not know for sure), but certainly there must be a bounty on them which would determine their strengths, influence and importance (need a case arise when one of them is dethroned).

I've re-worded the question and asked for the bounties as of 2017. That is not up for debate as the accepted answer shows. If the bounty is not revealed, then it should say "Not Revealed" which is correct as of 2017. Therefore, marking to re-open the question.

Now apparantly they are,

See:  http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Bounties  not for all, some.

They have now been revealed (https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Chapter_957)

Yes! Their bounties have been revealed as of chapter 957.
The amounts are as follow:
Kaido:

B. 4,611,100,000

Charlotte Linlin:

B. 4,388,000,000

Shanks:

B. 4,048,900,000

Marshall D. Teach:

B. 2,247,600,000

Whitebeard:

B. 5,046,000,000

Gol D. Roger:

B. 5,564,800,000

Color comment: The marines formerly made an offer of B. 5,000,000,000 for the Ope-Ope no mi.

Bounties for Yonkos haven't been shown till now. And IMO, for someone as powerful as a Yonko, bounties doesn't matter much. Bounties are set so that some bounty hunter would be tempted to capture them. But yonkos being one of the most powerful forces in OP, no one would dare to capture a Yonko.
WhiteBeard- Not revealed.
Shanks- Not revealed.
Big Mam- Not revealed.
Kaido- Not revealed.
Blackbeard- Not given any bounty.

Bounties are set so that some bounty hunter would be tempted to capture them. - The Shichibukai have bounties too, but they are not currently active as they work for the World govt. Gecko Moria was defeated by Luffy but the WG didn't capture him because he did not go against them. Thus, even the Yonko must have some bounty on their heads, say one day, they are de-throned and the govt is then interested in capturing them, thereby just activating their bounties again.

well for shichibukai its true. but for yonkos, even if WG has some bounty, how does it affect their status as yonko? The shichibukai have a pact with WG so their bounties are not active. Yonkos don't have such pact with WG.

updated with link. in the link, the bounty status shows- NA (not available).

When they introduce a Shichibukai it always states 'former' bounty so it is the bounty they had before becoming a Shichibukai. (Which kind of makes sense or Doflamingo's would have been much higher)

It is worth noting that in all but one cases the bounties are "dead or alive".  While capturing would be insane we have actually seen multiple assassination attempts on Whitebeard (by Ace actually).

Recently a few were released. see http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Bounties

As of chapter 959, these bounties are known.

None of the Youkou Bounties have been shown so far.
But Since Charlotte Katakuri's bounty is 1057 million bellies, You can expect Big Mom's bounty to be in the range of 1.5 Billion to 2.5 Billion.
Assuming BM's is close to 2 Billion, Shanks and Kaidou might have a bounty close to 2.5 to 3 Billion.
Since Black Beard is still new, we can expect his Bounty to be close to Big Mom at around 2 Billion. But expect his bounty to surpass Kaidou and Shanks once both are defeated.

http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Bounties

Black Beard never had one. Maybe now after the Impel Down Arc

That was before time-skip. 2 years after that, he definitely will have a bounty.

Is it possible to use Izanagi on others?
In the anime(Episode 338, not sure though), I feel as if I saw an Uchiha member use Izanagi to revive a bunch of other Uchiha members. Is that even possible?

In general, YES, Izanagi can be used on others. In Chapter 510, while explaining the history of Izanagi to Konan, Tobi himself states that the Sage of Six Paths used it to create things, such as the nine Bijuu.
However, is it possible for a random filler flashback Uchiha to use Izanagi on others? Probably not, because he did not have the Senju bloodline and is certainly not comparable to the Sage of Six Paths.

Izanagi was originally a jutsu used by the Sage of Six Paths to "create". The Sage, who was the Uchiha and the Senju bloodlines in one person, used it to create many things.
He would create shape and form from nothingness, using imagination and spiritual energy which forms basis of the Yin power, and then breathe life into that form using vitality and physical energy, which forms basis of the Yang power.
He also created the nine Bijuu from the Juubi's chakra. A technique with the power to turn imagination into reality is the Izanagi.

Q. Is that even possible?

No, Izanagi cannot be used/casted on others. It's a genjutsu which is cast upon themselves by the users. It is stated in the wiki page of Izanagi.

Izanagi is a genjutsu that is cast on the user instead of others and
  is the most powerful amongst this type of genjutsu.

After referring to Happy's answer, the answer is Yes, it is possible.

Q. I feel as if I saw an Uchiha member use Izanagi to revive a bunch of other Uchiha members.

But then, as for your doubt regarding an Uchiha member saving/reviving many other Uchiha members by using Izanagi, it is Wrong and it is also mentioned in the 3rd bullet point of the Trivia section of Izanagi (emphasis mine).

The anime makes several mistakes on what Izanagi actually does and is
  capable of. For example when used by Danzō, every hit would cause one
  of his Sharingan eyes to close when using Izanagi instead of closing
  when the time limit ended. And during Itachi's history of Izanagi and
  Izanami to Sasuke, Izanagi was used beyond the personal reality of the
  user to bring a whole swath of people back to life even though they
  weren't using Izanagi themselves. Similarly, unlike Danzō and Obito's
  usage, where their used eye is closed after passing their time limit,
  in the anime-exclusive flashback, the user's eye instead turns blank
  like the usage of Izanami.

They make mistakes in the anime !!!! Thanks for letting me know @R.J

@RikuduSennin - Well there are many more mistakes which have been done in the anime, but then, we always have SE network to get our questions answered!:)

This is wrong! The Naruto wiki is not canon, and sometimes carries a lot of misinformation. Don't rely on it too much. :)

@Happy - Thanks for correcting me. I edited the answer accordingly! :) Though the Izanagi being used to revive others, it is wrong and my answer is pretty much acceptable regarding that! :)

I think the Rikudo Sennin might still be able to use Izanagi to revive others, because ... you know, he is the Sage of Six Paths. :D But a random filler flashback Uchiha being able to do that is simply ridiculous!

@Happy - Ofcourse he can do that, but I think that technique would be the Creation of All Things. It is the parent technique of Izanagi, AFAIK! :)

I would say it can twist one point in reality to fit your needs. danzo only used it for himself cause he is selfish lol.

Did Danzo know that the Rinnegan existed?
While searching for the reason why Danzo didn't get the Rinnegan, I want to ask if he actually knew the Rinnegan existed before the attack in Konoha? What are the evidences that support this fact?

He should have known before the Konoha-attack. Years before, he worked together with Hanzo, who was attacked by Nagato using his Rinnegan. Back then, Danzo most likely came to know about the reason why his men got killed.
Source: Chapter 447

@debal - He possessed Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan. He stole it from Shisui to get the power of Kotoamatsukami.

@debal That wasn't the question. He just wanted to know whether he knew they existed, not whether he could awake them.

Its probably never mentioned that Danzo knew about the existence of rinnegan.
But, if he knew, there are various reasons why he didn't have it on his arms.
One reason could be -

According to the wiki:

 The first person to possess the Rinnegan was the Sage of the Six
 Paths. Because of the Sage's mythical status, many people believed the
 Rinnegan was only a legend or a mutation

Secondly, In the whole series only Nagato (not to forget all other pain) was shown with Rinnegan and they were always hidden in their village so no one ever found out till they actually fought against jiraiya when the frogs who were with him found out.
That means there was least chance of Danzo knowing about Nagato.
This is not a perfect answer but I guess this is the only detail revealed.

The six paths of pain sported the Rinnegan because of Nagato's Six path technique. There weren't so many Rinnegans in reality. They were just an extension of Nagato. And also, its very likely that Danzo knew about it, but just that he did was not able to awaken it, because to awaken the Rinnegan, one needs to have both the Senju DNA and the Uhicha DNA. But Danzo only had the Senju DNA which he got by infusing Hashirama's cells.

Very true!! :)
I should've mentioned that also!

What do those symbols on the costume of the Sage of The Six Path represent?
I'm referring to those red "symbols" which are, as I've found out, called Magatamas. I'm interested in knowing the fact that, do they representing something important or are they just some kind of ornaments?

Magatamas as you most likely found out as well are ceremonial and religious objects and are well used objects in the Japanese Mythology.
I have no ways to proof this is so but is one of the best guesses we have ( just like with allot of Naruto related stuff)
As described in the part under here. The Magatamas have a direct connection with Susanoo and Amaterasu. The sage of the six paths was also worshiped as the Saviour of this World (この世の救世主, Kono Yo no Kyūseishu).

The Kojiki and Nihon shoki, completed in the 8th century, have numerous references to magatama. They appear in the early in the first chapter of the Nihon shoki, which largely describes the mythology of Japan. Susanoo, god of the sea and storms, received five hundred magatama from Tamanoya no mikoto, or Ame-no-Autodidact-no-mikoto, the jewel-making deity. Susanoo went to heaven and presented them to his sister, the sun goddess Amaterasu, who bit off successive parts of the magatama, and blew them away to create other deities. Tamanoya no mikoto remains the kami god of magatama, glasses, and cameras. In the legend Amaterasu later shuts herself in a cave. AMA-no-Koyane-no-mikoto hung magatama, among other objects, on a five hundred-branch sakaki tree, to successfully lure Amaterasu from the cave. In the year 58, in the reign of the Emperor Suinin, the Nihon shoki records that a dog kills and disembowels a mujina, a type of badger, and a magatama was discovered in its stomach. This magatama was presented to Suinin, who enshrined it at Isonokami Shrine, where it is said to presently reside. A similar practice is described again in the Nihon shoki during the reign of the Emperor Chūai. Chūai made an inspection trip to the Tsukushi, or Kyūshū, and was presented with an enormous sakaki tree hung with magatama as well as other sacred objects.  Source

With this information we can say that the Magatama are either

Just some jewelery
Usage as a religious object aka worshiping
or used as Reference to Japanese Mythology. Susanoo/Amaterasu.

But unless we get to know more about Hagoromo Otsutsuki we will never really know a definitive answer to this question

Was there any difference between the 6 Pains, besides their abilities?
I know that every Pain used a different technique, but I'm interested in knowing if there was any difference between them besides their abilities?

I think yes, just think about it,when Naruto fought Yahiko(Pain),just look at the magnitude of that fight...the Nine-tails fought him almost! at full power,yet he resisted...Pain was totally crushed with a high power,yet he withstood, and after he was slammed with that gigantic rock,and he questioned Naruto whether he felt the pain now.

So I think,because Nagato loved Yahiko so much,for which he made him more stronger,faster and resistant to damage[by sending him more chakra]...
And as second thought, he might had more chakra rods than the others, so his body can deal with high level of damage, making Nagato's work easier.In that way he controlled Yahiko with less problems,and making him stronger at the same time

but if Yahiko was so strong,how comes that he was defeated by a mere Rasengan?

that's because Yahiko was exhausted.....Nagato reached his limit.......

I think he was exhausted,don't forget,he fought the Nine-tails,he forced Shinra Tensei and Chibaku Tensei to the limit,plus when he got caught by that Rasengan, he was totally off-line...edit:I'm not even wondered why me and Kakashi were thinking the same:))

And not to forget that for Nagato, it was always Yahiko was who the leader of the Akatsuki(old and new, both). Thus, even for the 6 pains, he made Yahiko's body the superior one by adding more chakra rods and thereby, transferring more Chakra, compared to the others.

To be honest, I felt that the way a ninja uses and handles his/her power makes them stronger. I really can't comment whether there were any difference of power among the six Rinnegan users.
Why do I say this?
Recall the incident between Sasuke and Itachi's fight. Sasuke used his Sharingan very efficiently when he fought against Itachi.
So bottom line: it totally depends on how a wielder wields the weapon.

Remember, each one of the "Pains" as said, were at one time individual ninja that learned from Jiraiya just like Nagato who at that point was using chakara rods along with that jitsu to control the remaining chakara left within the individual ninja's body.  So to simply answer your question, absolutely their abilities were different as well as the chakara level of each individual ninja.  Of course, how it is used with make a huge difference.

On contrary to @Rinneg4n's answer, I think there are no difference between them. The six paths of pain are created by rinnegan user. Nagato simply used different bodies to cast different jutsus. And Tendo being yahiko's body, nagato gave more chakra to it than other bodies. Later we see that Edo-Nagato could use all the six paths's power from his own body.
There might be difference in the physical prowess of each body as each type took different kind of damage from similar attacks. But seeing as Nagato could easily replace bodies in his six paths, physical constraints don't matter much.

Is there an official site for anime and manga ranking?
Is there any official site for anime and manga ranking? I know some site for anime and manga, and they have some kind of rating and ranking, but their rating and ranking are different. I'm wondering if there are any official site for anime, maybe something like IMDB? Honestly, I don't really know if IMDB is official or not, but if someone is to ask for the rating of a movie, they always say to look it in IMDB.

Official by what measure?

anime news network

what are the parameters which you would focus in the anime?

also aren't ratings on a lot of sites (as far as I know anyway) generated by user votes? would such sites still be "official"?

I think the OP is asking for the ratings per magazine. For example, the Beelzebub's ranking on Weekly Shounen Jump has been around 18 for the past few weeks. As for a website that has all the magazines' official ratings for each individual series, I can't think of one off the top of my head.

Rank them according to what? Popularity? Sales? Reviews?

As far as I know there is no official ranking site for anime/manga.
The closest thing you could get to an official ranking would be ranking them according to their sales, which gets featured on a lot of sites. An example would be this MyAnimeList post. More info and sites can be found on the post Where can one learn about viewership ratings for anime?, where some nice sites have been listed.
Most other rating sites are, as hungerartist mentioned, user rated and therefore not official.

Don't bother with MAL lists, this is way more useful: Cumulative DVD/Blu-ray sales

@Uriziel The MAL lists are useful if you want data collated by what was popular during a given week; the AnimeSuki lists are useful for a longer historical perspective. They both have their uses, and they both use Oricon data. The MAL lists also have Oricon data for manga/LNs/audio. Does Animesuki have an analog of that?

OP please read this, I took the time to write it for you
I write this hoping to rid you of some misconceptions you seem to have. Even though it's been almost 2 years, I took the time to help you.
Very few things can/should get an official rating or ranking. Art, like movies and anime, definitely SHOULD NOT! (or cannot, depending how you see it)
The rating in IMDB is the average of the scores given by random people who took the time to rate in that site. The same could be said of most movie/TV/anime sites that have ratings.
IMDB is such a big reference because it has a gigantic amount of users who rate. And that's why it is a good reference and people point you to it. But it isn't an official rating site and it cannot be one.
People are not forced to rate, so any rating you see anywhere is either by a single person or a selection of people. In sites like IMDB that selection is people who have watched that piece, out of everyone in the world, who also:

Know of and use that site,
Take the time to rate (publicly),
Happen to have rated that particular piece.

So ratings/scores are a reference, and you should use them keeping in mind who gave them.
If a website has become the de facto "go to place" for rates/ranks, like IMDB has for movies, then it's a very valuable reference, but not an official consensus of the viewers.
The only numbers you can get that may be "official" are stuff like manga or DVD sales (factual numbers).
For anime, the website that seems to be the big reference in ratings is MyAnimeList (MAL).
My only problem with it is it has no input from Japanese viewers, since (probably) almost no Japanese use it. You only get the input of avid western watchers, and Japanese viewers obviously have a very different context. (I'm looking for a Japanese equivalent to MAL for an extra reference, which was why I found your post).
I recommend you use MAL: not only to see ratings and other information, but to make a list for yourself, even if you normally don't care about doing your own lists and ratings. You can use the list to keep track of what you're watching/have watched, which episode you're on, etc. You can have your own ratings of anime for future reference (influencing the average score by doing so). It's super useful, really, otherwise I wouldn't give them this free publicity.
Hope this wasn't a total waste. All the best.

Welcome to the Anime/Manga SE. If you're interested enough, you could ask a new question on Japanese equivalents to sites like MAL (under the resources tag). Incidentally, another danger of ratings sites is the possibility that people are rating things carelessly or using criteria that are not going to be relevant, although I've only seen this happen in a few isolated cases with book reviews (in one case, for a book that I would not have rated highly anyway).

If you want a Japanese website like MAL, you may want to visit Anikore, but be aware that the ranking calculation is completely different compared to MAL. First, users give a rating out of 5 on story, animation, voice acting, music, and characters, then an average is calculated to get a global rating out of 5. Additionally, each anime rank score is calculated using an unknown formula which accounts for total number of favorites, number of votes on tags, number of reviews, user ratings, number of tweets, and calculated credibility score of users.

No, there's nothing official, as there's nothing official that regulates anime industry or something. You can try Dimitri's solution, but I would recommend sticking to Anime News Network and looking at their sales reports instead of seeing what's popular.
Sales charts are more useful, popularity often has a multiplier effect.

Why does Sasuke have only one Rinnegan?
In the latest chapters of the Naruto manga (673 and 674), why does Sasuke possess only one Rinnegan and not both?

I don't watch Naruto, so I don't know if the edit I made to the title is a spoiler. If it is, please feel free to change it to something else.

It's as much of a spoiler as it was. Either way, it is what it is.

Please do not close my question again Mr. @JNat. (˘‿˘ʃƪ)

@V-Moy I won't be closing this one, no :P This is a perfectly acceptable question here. It's spoiler-y by nature, so there's not much we can do about it.

This is an acceptable question but the answers are merely speculations/theories. The manga did not reveal when or how sasuke obtained the rinnegan. Nevertheless, still a good question.

Would it have been wrong to make this question more generic, e.g., "Why does this character have only one rinnegan?" or "Why does character x* have only one rinnegan?" to improve spoiler security? The x* could signal this is the most spoilery part.

For starters: Sasuke's Rinnegan is not the same as Kaguya's/Madara's Rinne Sharingan (not to be confused with Madara's Rinnegan, I'm talking about the one in the middle of the forehead of both of them).

Sasuke's Rinnegan has 6 tomoe, Rinne Sharingan has (at least) 9.
Sasuke's Rinnegan is blue, Rinne Sharingan is red.

The reason Sasuke only has the Rinnegan in one eye was not mentioned or explained in either the series or the data book. So we can only speculate.
In no particular order, here are my speculations:

Hagoromo only gave Sasuke enough chakra to awaken the Rinnegan in one eye.
That's the best Sasuke can do without fusing Asura's chakra.
It's the cool factor.

My opinion is that he chose not to use the other one. With the Rinnegan not able to use Sharingan's abilities, it's probably better to use both at the same time. Madara was seen switching back and forth between the Rinnegan and Sharingan, so it should be something that Sasuke can do as well.

The switching you mentioned happened only in Anime. Not in manga.

Madara was able to use all of the Sharingan's abilities with the rinnegan active. So that point is almost surely false.

Maybe the other eye is only for Sharingan, or he can't have two Rinnegans because it might replace his Sharingan permanently. However, one thing is for sure: he might use Sharingan and Rinnegan at the same time in the future.

I guess it's only your speculation. Try to support your answer by providing some facts or cite some sources. Thanks!

Sasuke's Rinnegan is exactly the same Rinnegan of Kaguya's 3rd eye and Madara's 3rd eye. Since, Madara's 3rd eye and Kaguya's 3rd eye are one and the same, this means that there is only one such eye.
This Rinnegan with Sharingan tomoe has always been a one eye case from the beginning. It is very different from Madara's Rinnegan, which is same as Hagoromo's pair of eyes.

Can you give a source or link for your 'claim' about "Sasuke's rinnegan is exact same rinnegan of Kaguya's 3rd eye and Madara's 3rd eye it awoke"? Thanks

Why did the English dub of Naruto stop?
Naruto and few episodes of Naruto Shippuuden are dubbed in English. Then it suddenly stopped. And also, few episodes used to be broadcasted in Cartoon Network, and that also stopped. Why has this happened?

It takes time to dub an anime and since Naruto is still on-going, they are probably on the process of dubbing it or they are still waiting for Japan's official release before they can release an english dubbed version.

Naruto shippuuden dubs ussualy come around in packs of 4 with a interval of around 2-4months . Exact reason I do no know

Naruto aired on Cartoon Network and Naruto Shippuden aired on Disney XD. Apparently, Disney XD has dropped Shippuden from it's lineup but the Anime continues and episodes can be viewed on CrunchyRoll or Viz Anime, though the episodes are subtitled not dubbed.
Looks like, for those wanting Dubbed Naruto Shippuden, getting the DVDs/Blu-Rays is currently the only option.
Update: Stream the latest English dubbed versions (legally) from Amazon Instant Video.

Naruto shippudin dubbed available in DVD's?

Naruto is currently re-airing on Cartoon Network on Saturday nights as part of Toonami, right after Bleach.

Hindi Poster Underneath a Bench in Anohana
I'm re-watching Ano Hana. On the first episode (22:44.438) I noticed a poster underneath a bench.
I recognized it was written in Hindi although I can't read Hindi.
So, was wondering what's written there and what could be it's purpose (the visual detail).
Questions:

What was the Hindi text and what it means?
I hope someone can share some thoughts about why this much details was added into a scene. What could be the creator's intention?

Update
The poster can be overlooked because it's underneath. So I've added another picture with more exposure

[

I saw your answer before you deleted it, updated my question to clarify. Thanks

I'm not sure if it is supposed to be Hindi or Sanskrit(because both use devagiri script) and the word is there in both the languages, The word is 'Dharmayug', which means the age of righteousness or somewhere along that.

According to sentido's and Ashray's answer about the meaning of Dharmayug, Dharma and Yug, we can interpret the creator's intention to imply that their friendship was beyond space(cosmos) and time. That's why the poster was put underneath the "Secret base" carving (their "Secret base" friendship was beyond space and time):

Beyond Space
Menma was a ghost, the rest of them were human, they should be living in separate world. But their friendship transcended that.
Beyond Time
In the story they were repeatedly recalling their childhood memories with Menma, and even some of the scenes were almost the same as their childhood scenes.

I'm not sure if it is supposed to be Hindi or Sanskrit(because both use devagiri script and the word is there in both the languages), The word is 'Dharmayug', which means the age of righteousness or somewhere along that.
Also the word is another word for Satyayug which is one of the 4 ages of the Hindu Mythology. More specifcally the first age. Age of truth.
Not sure as to why the creator put it though.

Dharmyug likely refers to Hindi pictorial weekly magazine by the same name, published 1949 to 1993.

Good to know. we got some clue

'Dharmayug'
It is a combination of two words- Dharma + Yug
Dharma stands for eternal law of cosmos, your actions basically. Yug is basically a period of time. As Ashray mentioned, it can be translated to the age of righteousness. I still can't find the symbolism though

How many tallies does Toko Fukawa have on her leg exactly?

Here's 2 pictures I have of her showing her tallies!

Assuming the tally's on her legs shown has the same representation as the general english tally (being 卌 = 5) and that each strike is a 1 the bottom image, which shows more, shows 62. however as i said this assumes that the markings on her legs compare to 1 strike = 1 and the completed mark = 5 and this is only going by what's visable, can not discount that her skirt is hiding the rest

The answer is: there's no exact number, the tally marks changed from one to other titles.
For reference, this is how the Japanese tally marks work for 1 to 5:

Ignoring the fan arts since there are too many variants,

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

Probably 32. It seems she wrote the mark from top-to-bottom (from her POV), thus finishing the first row of 20 (4x5). Continuing to the bottom row, there are 3 visible characters. Assuming she wrote it from left-to-right, the first 2 characters should have finished, making them 10 (2x5). The last character seems to stop at 2.
Danganronpa: The Animation (correspond to DR: Trigger Happy Havoc)

At least 30. The visible tally marks are in form of 2 rows of 3 characters, and all of them are complete, making them 30 (2x3x5).
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls

The 3D model only shows 4 characters and in the same pattern with DR1 with the last character stops at 2. Since the rest are probably hidden by her skirt, at least 17 (+ multiple of 5), or possibly 32 (same as DR1).

However, her in-game artwork shows different tally marks. There area 3 rows of 3 characters instead. The bottom-middle character seems to be the last character and stops at 2. It's probably 37 (7x5 + 2).
Cyber Danganronpa VR: The Class Trial (correspond to DR: Trigger Happy Havoc)
(Caution: probably NSFW, panty image)

Probably 27 or 37. The visible tally marks are in form of 2 rows of 3 characters, while the last character stops at 2. There might be another pair hidden behind her thigh, making the total to 37.
Divine Gate (collaboration)

Probably 37. The visible tally marks are in form of 2 rows of 4 characters (the first pair is hidden in the shadow), and the last character stops at 2.

Conclusion
The tally marks are between 17-37, with 32 & 37 as possible answers. However, one certain thing is, the last character stops at 2.

What is the relation between the Girls und Panzer manga and anime series?
Girls und Panzer has several manga series:

Girls und Panzer
Girls & Panzer - Little Army
Girls & Panzer - Lovey-Dovey Panzer

How does those three relate to the anime series and which chapter covered in anime series and OVAs? Is there any differences between anime and manga?

Girls und Panzer is an original anime and the GuP manga is an adaptation of the anime. Though the manga came out earlier in June 2012 as promition to the anime while the anime came out in october 2012. Both GuP anime and manga are practically the same except for some differences in perspective and events. The anime focused on Miho Nishizumi's perspective while the manga focused on Yukari Akiyama's.
Girls und Panzer: Little Army is a prequel manga for the anime and manga that came out in August 2012 about Miho's past.
Girls und Panzer: Lovey Dovey Panzer is a fan-made 4-koma web manga series done by Nii Marco about the GuP characters and it focuses on comedy. From that, eventually Nii Marco was hired by the GuP staff to make an official manga 4-koma series titled Girls und Panzer: Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu, sort of sequel to Lovey Dovey Panzer. Though it's still focuses on comedy.

What is the Japanese Dialect Spoken in Ghost Hound?
What is the Japanese dialect spoken by Taro, Makoto and Miyako in Ghost Hound? It doesn't sound like Kansai Ben or the standard Tokyo dialect.

I just listened to a quick clip of the dialogue. It's some dialect from the Kyūshū region. That's all I can tell, but a native speaker could probably pinpoint it more accurately.

I'm not familiar with Japanese dialectology, so all I can really tell is that (as Logan M noted) it's a dialect from Kyushu or thereabouts. Luckily, the internet seems to know more.

This Chiebukuro entry, presumably written by a native speaker, thinks that it's Hakata dialect (spoken in Fukuoka, Kyushu).
This interview with Chiaki KONAKA (who did the screenplay for Ghost Hound) notes that the story's setting is inspired by Fukuoka, and that effort was made to make the dialects portray the setting effectively.
Some dude on Amazon Japan mentions how he can feel that the script has been modeled on the speech of the Fukuoka area.

None of this is really authoritative, but it is suggestive.
One possible source of confusion for us here is that it might be that people are just defaulting to describing the dialect in question as Fukuoka dialect since Fukuoka is the largest city in Kyushu (i.e. it's possible that the people I have linked above do not have direct experience distinguishing among varieties of Kyushu Japanese).
Aside - if you like the Kyushu dialect, you should watch Kids on the Slope. Lots of Kyushu Japanese in that one.

Which end of a chocolate cornet is the head?

Some say it looks like a seashell.  Some say it looks like a caterpillar.  The real question, which end is the head?  Was it ever decided among the cast of Lucky Star?

Perhaps consider modifying your scope to ask if this dilemma was ever resolved amongst the cast. Right now it's a bit off-topic, since you're just talking about a pastry item that just happened to appear in an anime.

If the question is asking for an in-universe solution to the dilemma, it is on topic here. If you're asking for the official last word on chocolate cornet end terminology, that's not something we're equipped to answer.

Per @Krazer's suggestion, I've updated the question.

I think that the head it the thinner part because it is easier to bite the it leaves the sides of the bite which you bite into next and keep going till it is finished. That is it but make sure to lick the chocolate after eat bite!

According to Konata, about 2 years later:

The head is the big end.

Why is anime sold in such low episode count per volume?
I've noticed in a lot of anime series that the episodes are sold in silly spans. Sometimes, 4-5 episodes are sold at a silly price. Why are volumes grouped together like this? It can't be good for sales.

Blurays typically come out 2 episodes at a time a month apart starting roughly 1 season after the main series starts. I dunno if it's just because they need time to redo much of the animation at a higher quality, or just to milk the fans.

@Mysticial Yeah, I've noticed that... and I wonder what the real reason is.. :)

What do you mean by "silly price"? Do you have any examples?

As you can see: http://www.amazon.com/Psycho-Pass-Vol-1-Japan-LTD-TDV-22431D/dp/B009PGI6CE
Volume like this which are sold at insane prices.

according to Anime News network it's 12 episodes, if by "silly price" your talking about it being $50 and being expensive then i don't find that silly since it does come with a book and box rather than just a dvd cover

if by "silly price" your talking about it being $50 and being cheap then keep in mind that it's being streamed by Funimation, Hulu and Madman, quite possible there will be Region 2 and 4 releases of the DVD and there's nothing in the description about any subtitles

In short, They sell them for that much because that's how they've determined that they will make the most money.

the net marginal cost of producing the CDs is high Sometimes they don't expect to sell very many copies of the dvd in the first place, and they have to sell them at a higher price to cover the overhead.   The more dvds that they produce and sell, the lower the net marginal cost of producing them.
People who do want to buy the dvds will pay that much for them Sometimes the fanbase is strong enough and small enough such that those who will buy the dvds will pay any amount for them, and the number of people who would pay $20 for the dvd, but not $50, is relatively low.  in this case, it makes sense to sell the dvd for $50.

I don't think I quite understand your first point. Are you saying that there's a high marginal cost for producing a new print of DVDs (e.g. once you've produced the DVD for eps 1-2, there's a high marginal cost with producing the DVDs for eps 3-4)? If so, why would producing more prints (say, 12 for a 24-ep series) be beneficial?

@senshin no, I'm saying that it costs more to only print 100 or 200 copies of the same dvd than it does to print 20,000

Oh, okay, I see what you're getting at now. I think you should rephrase the bold part of your first point to something like "there is a high fixed cost associated with printing a run of DVDs" or something like that (since the marginal cost is only high for the first DVD in a run, and is very low thereafter, so the way you have it written is a little bit confusing).

Why were the Dragon Knights trying to kill the Dragon Torc?
In Noein, there is a bit of complicated quantum-type stuff going on.  There are multiple timespaces that are possible futures for the "real" world (which is a possible present timespace).  The commonality between all worlds seems to be Haruka (a.k.a. the Dragon Torc).  If I interpreted this correctly, this means that anything she observes becomes the actual outcome.
So, one of the timespaces (La'cryma) decides that they want to sacrifice the Dragon Torc.  Wouldn't this cause mass chaos and some kind of crazy quantum status of the timespaces since the observer can no longer definitively confirm any outcome (i.e. mass Schrödinger's cat)?

I would assume what they were hoping for is that Noein would no longer be able to attain Haruka and confirm the existence of Shangri La, with the hopeful outcome.  As stated in the show, no one knows what would happen if Haruka was killed.  Any and all futures would be possible, confirming their own dimensions existence and stopping its destruction.
My problem with the 'observer' idea is that she saw Lacryma first, wouldn't that confirm its existence above Shangri La's?

I disagree with the comments, this is a good answer.

How does the Sword of The Thunder God get stopped by a Kunai?
I used to watch Naruto a long time ago and I remember there being a filler anime about people using lightning techniques..
One thing I remember specifically was that one of the ninjas was using a lightning weapon that was supposed to be able to cut through anything including Chakra...
The problem was that one of the Ninjas from Hidden Leaf if I remember correctly was fighting them and stopping the blade with a regular Kunai...
How does that work?  If the lightning weapon can cut through anything including Chakra why would a regular kunai stop it?
After a quick research the weapon is the Sword of the Thunder God... as stated on Naruto Wikia: Sword of the Thunder God - Narutopedia, the Naruto Encyclopedia Wiki

As shown in Aoi's fight with Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, the
  blade was shown to not only be able to easily cut through any solid
  object, but also through chakra-based substances as well.

After rewatching the episodes again the person using the sword swung at a ninja then a couple of kunais is seen to drop to the floor blocking the attack...
The Kunais are seen to be intact... So if this sword can cut through anything why was his attack stopped by them?

is the filler related before Captain Asuma's death?

In the normal naruto or in the shippuuden ? all I could think of was the Chakra Scalpel technique used to for example cut chakra cords. this also could be extended to weapons

This is the normal Naruto

Found it by searching online... The Sword of the Thunder God... I remember a Kunai stopping it if I recall correctly.  Added to the original question might edit it also.

Fillers are parts of the series that are designed to give the manga time to get a larger distance from the anime.
Generally, less experienced (and less paid) writers do these fillers, not the original mangaka.
This results in inconsistencies with the general storyline, and sometimes, even inside the episodes themselves (due to the writer's lesser experience).
Now I haven't checked the credits for that specific episode, to see who was the script writer for it, but my educated guess is that this is the case. A plot hole, and nothing more.

So essentially plot Kunai lol....

Will Sasuke's Kirin work against Obito?
In the last chapters, they figure out that only natural energy will work against obito.
Sasuke's Kirin is made out of natural lightning and he only needs a small amount of chakra to control and direct it to his target.
So I wonder if Kirin will work like a sage jutsu against Obito?

We don't have any proof for the moment that it would work or not against Obito.
But I would say that Kirin wouldn't work. It's categorized as a Raiton jutsu. So it's still ninjutsu and Obito should not be damaged.
Also, to use this jutsu, Sasuke needs to use a Katon jutsu to create the clouds. So, when the clouds are charged with thunders, it may still have some energy of the previous, meaning that it's not really natural lightning.

Yeah it's safe to say that ninjutsu is out of the question at this poing

Where do the remains of the Sage of the Six Paths lie?
After the Sage of the Six Paths died, what happened with his remains? Did he seal himself from somewhere or did his clan bury his body elsewhere? Did those become the Tailed Beasts?

Follow up question, why they can't summon him with Edo Tensei?

The Sage of Six Paths has passed away and the whereabouts of the remains are unknown. There is actually no substantiating proof that he actually existed, which is why a lot of people also think it is just a myth.
And you can't revive him with Edo Tensei unless you have his DNA.
Of course, it is pretty safe to assume he did exist though. While the shinobi might not believe of his existence, the people reading/watching Naruto have more insight about the history of shinobi.
As for why his remains are unknown, he probably made this intentional so he wouldn't be revived in the future.

He did exist. Kurama remembers SO6P.

ya he must've existed because the uchiha stone tablet and all the tailed beasts, the shinobi dont believe though, sorry that it's off topic but you edited your answer on my birthday lol

Can reanimated Chiyo use One's Own Life Reincarnation technique?
Edo Tensei render a Shinobi immortal with endless supply of chakra, but can Edo Tensei Chiyo use her Reincarnation Technique to someone and do it many times (since she is immortal)?

The answer to your title question is yes, Chiyo can use her reincarnation technique.
I am not sure if she can do it infinitely, because she is supposed to give up all her life and energy for it. However, you can find an alternate way to infinitely revive people: she resurrects one person, and then repeatedly Edo Tensei Chiyo again.
In regards to your comment on the other post, we can compare Chiyo's technique with Pain's. Pain has never actually mastered the outerpath, which is why he has to give up his life to use it and revive people. In this case, Chiyo is the same; she has give up her life to revive one person. Since Edo Tensei Pain was expected to use his outerpath to revive people, we can also expect Chiyo to be able to do the same with her technique.
From Kishimoto's perspective, this is a really inefficient way to bring back people. That is why there are two other methods, Edo Tensei and the Rinnegan's outerpath. In case masses of people die, he can bring them back in masses. Or in other words, in case Kishimoto kills off too many Shinobi, then realizes he made a mistake by killing them, he can easily undo his error with one skill.

The last paragraph is my view/opinion on how Kishimoto operates. It seems like sometimes, he kills off too many people, like when Pain attacked Konoha. Then he decides Wait, actually I need them to be alive so he resurrects them all.

The answer is yes. she can't do it infinitely due to chakra it takes some time to recover chakra and reanimated.. i believe her body is still in Hidden Sand Graveyard

She was shown fighting Sakura in the anime, which differs from the manga.

What did Uchiha Madara do to Obito with the Black Zetsu?
Warning for this may contain spoilers

As I read the Naruto Episode 656 Page 14, Obito cast Rinne Tensei then suddenly the black zetsu appeared then cast another Rinne Tensei then poof Madara is revived with real body. Now, I'm lost. What happened to Obito? Do Madara switched body with Obito? or does he consumed by the Black Zetsu?
According to the wiki, Rinne Tensei can re-infuse new life force energy to the bodies of those who have died. With that said, why Madara re-infused with Obito's body? and how come that Obito died (or is he dead)? What happened to the Black Zetsu? I don't know how to put this up but here's the image sequence:

He switched life forces with Obito. That's why he said: "Let's switch". Obito is probably still alive because of the Kyuubi foreshadowing that the Jinchuuriki of the Ten Tails has bigger life force than other Jinchuuriki's.
Madara is revived by Black Zetsu controlling Obito using Gedo: Rinne Tensei!

and the Black Zetsu?

Has probably served his purpose and is gone now. We can see him leaving obito's body once the rinne tensei is completed. It also shows obito still breathing/panting so it's hard to say

Can a Rinnegan user use Mangekyou abilities?
Since Rinnegan is an "upgrade" of Sharingan, then it should be possible that all the techniques of Sharingan will be carried away to Rinnegan like the Mangekyou.
If not, then why?

i think it's a no. Nagato can't use mangekyo Sharingan even though his eye came from Madara.

To put it bluntly, no, the rinnegan cannot use mangekyou abilities. As you can watch in the anime, Madara can switch between Rinnegan and Sharingan because he awakened both.
Nagato only had the Rinnegan.
Basically, the Rinnegan isn't an upgraded Sharingan, it's what comes next, but it's a completely different eye.

It is, since during Madara and 5 kages fight, Madara is able to cast genjutsu to raikage after looking into his eyes, though his eyes is seen as a sharinggan.
And he can still use Susanoo which is a Mangekyo ability.

A Rinnegan user can use the Mangekyō Sharingan abilities, if the user

Has one eye with a Mangekyō Sharingan and one with a Rinnegan (as seen with Tobi).
Naturally awakened the Rinnegan after awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan. (as seen with Madara).

If you look at the wiki page of Rinnegan(emphasis mine, not originally there in the wiki).

When Madara was reincarnated by Kabuto Yakushi to fight the Allied
  Shinobi Forces, Madara once again gained access to the dōjutsu (Rinnegan); his
  Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was able to transform into the Rinnegan at
  will (Madara awakened Rinnegan during the last days of his life). Based on data collected over the years, Kabuto Yakushi and
  Orochimaru theorised that because the Sharingan originated from the
  Rinnegan, it was possible for the dōjutsu to change into the Rinnegan
  as part of a "natural evolution". This is supported by the fact he
  maintains his Susanoo while having his Rinnegan activated. Upon
  reincarnation, Nagato also retained the Rinnegan.

Since Madara had awakened both the Mangekyō and Rinnegan in his life, he could switch between the two and use the abilities of both the dōjutsu's. But in the case of Nagato, as he was implanted with the Rinnegan itself, he could not switch between them and hence, was never able to use those abilities. This wiki excerpt should confirm it.

While the powers of the Rinnegan remain intact upon implanting them in a new person, like Nagato and Obito Uchiha, only one who "naturally" manifests the Rinnegan, as in Madara Uchiha's case, is able to switch between the Rinnegan and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan; otherwise, the Rinnegan is always activated.

Tobi had 2 different eyes, one with the Mangekyō (his own eye) and the other with the Rinnegan (which he took it from Nagato's body after his death), and that's the reason why he could use the abilities of both but only with one eye for each of it.

Given that the Rinnengan is the pen-ultimate version of the Sharigan, they can use its power without the need for the eye form itself.

Please could you add some details to ascertain your point. A link to an wiki page or some other reliable source would be good

The Rinnengan User Can Use The Mangekyo Techniques.. But Only If its the user who has awakened the Rinnengan .. As You see in Madara's And Sasuke's Case.. As Sasuke Awakened his Rinnengan (In Left Eye) By taking chakra from Hogoromo he could use his Amateratsu from his left eye ..

Can you refer to a source who prove it?

While the powers of the Rinnegan remain intact upon implanting them in a new person, like Nagato and Obito Uchiha, only one who "naturally" manifests the Rinnegan, as in Madara Uchiha's case, is able to switch between the Rinnegan and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan; otherwise, the Rinnegan is always activated.

if this is from the wiki, then please quote it and remove the number marks. :)

Yes, it is possible however only if the rinnegan is with the original person for whom it is awakened. But for him  too he has to revert back to Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan to use its abilities, and if he wants to use abilities of sharingan then he has to revert back to sharingan.
An uchiha who has awakened his rinnegan has 5 types of eyes..

normal Black pupils
sharingan
Mangekyou Sharingan
Eternal mangekyo Sharingan
Rinnegan

you left out the whole part about they half to have Hagaromo's chakra/be a direct ancestor of his. Also, the person doesn't actually "have" to be an Uchiha but would have to be directly related to that clan which doesn't necessarily mean he's actually an Uchiha (his grandma/grandpa could have married one of the most pureblood Uchiha's or something)

The Rinnegan and Mangekyo Sharingan are two different eyes. Completely different. The Sage of Six Paths had the Rinnegan and divided his power to create the Senju and the Uchiha. The Uchiha got the Sharingan and the Senju got really strong chakra and life force (chakra basically). The only reason why Madara got the Rinnegan was because he put some of Hashirama Senju's cells in himself. Thus bringing together the power that the sage had divided. He then would attain the sage's eyes (Rinnegan). He is able to switch between them. The Rinnegan cannot use Mangekyo techniques and vice versa.
The reason why Nagato cannot switch between the different eyes is that they were transplanted into him in the Rinnegan form, and since they aren't his natural eyes, his control over them is limited. A good example of this is Kakashi: he cannot change the Sharingan Obito gave him into a normal eye. That is why he covers it up when he isn't using it. The one absolute thing I can tell you is that the Rinnegan and the Mangekyo Sharingan are two different eyes.

What is the estimated age of Naruto when he became Hokage?
On the last chapter of the manga version, Naruto became the Hokage. How old is he when he became Hokage?

/!\ Spoiler Warning
This answer contains spoilers from the end of the manga. Read it at your own risk.

This is just an educated guess, based on information from various point in Naruto's series timeline.
From Naruto's biography:

In Naruto first season, his age is about 12-13
In Naruto Shippuden, his age is about 15-17

We also know that he has two children, and his eldest son Bolt (Boruto) is currently a student in the Ninja Academy.
Additional information:

In Bolt's current character design, Bolt's physical appearance ranges from 10 to 12 years old, probably the same age as his father when Naruto was studying at the Ninja Academy.
Let's assume 13 is the average age of the students when they graduate from Ninja Academy.
There is a 2 year time skip in the The Last: Naruto the Movie.
Let's give 1-3 years margin of error for Naruto and Hinata to have bonded.
Naruto's current age in Shippuden is about 17.
Kakashi just stepped down from his position as Hokage. Since he was about 31 in Shippuden, and he became the 6th Hokage after the two year time skip, so he is about 33 at that time.

Solution would be:
a = 10,11,12 = +-2
b = 13
c = 2
d = 1,2,3 = +-2
e = 17

Naruto_Age = a + b + c + d + e
Naruto_Age = (+-2) + 13 + 2 + (+-2) + 17

Minima Naruto's Age = 28
Maxima Naruto's Age = 36

Getting the average of minima and maxima, as the two margins of error (which come from Bolt's current age and the time needed for Naruto and Hinata to get together) are pretty much assumed.
Naruto's age when he became Hokage is estimated to be 32.

This would be the most logical age estimation so far. But let's see what the others have to say.

Your calculation is a bit weird. For Bolt's age, if you assume him to be 10 to 12, then you should add 11 (+- 1) to the age. And the time for him to get together with Hinata should be 2 (+- 1) if you want to give them 1 to 3 years. Like that, Naruto's age would be 17 + 2 + 2 (+-1) + 11 (+-1) = 32 (+- 2). Also, I don't get how Kakashi has anything to do with the calculation (and also Naruto's age in the first season).

Naruto's age has to do something with being in the ninja academy for time basis, while Kakashi's age is the assumed average age for most of the Hokages. This is just my own speculation. You could have made an answer based on my answer in your own discretion.

@MikeAnte: I don't read the series, but just that I find the way you present the calculation a bit weird, so I want to try to understand your intention when you include those information and edit to clarify your post. One thing I still don't understand: why did you use 13 for the age of Bolt, while you say that his age is around 10 to 12 from his character design? It seems that Bolt is still at the academy at the end of Naruto.

10 to 13 is the basis average age for the students who graduate at the student academy and 13 at most (assumed). Bolt is used as a reference to add into the current age of Naruto when he had his first child. It is assumed that he started dating Hinata at around 17 to 19 and I gave them a grace period of 3 years for them to copulate. Hope this helps.

Can Kakashi use the jutsu he copied without the Sharingan?
I'm not talking about Sharingan specific moves like Amaterasu, but the ones he had copied with the Sharingan like Water Dragon Jutsu.
With the sharingan he has copied and can use over a thousand moves.  Lets say he no longer has it (removed), does he retain the skills he had copied?
Does it depend on Sharingan or the skill of the user?

your question is unclear. The title says "without" while the body of the question says "with". Could you please modify the title and/body to make things a little more clear.

Well the body states the techniques he had copied while he had the sharingan.  But lets say he no longer has it (it was removed).  Does he retain the skills he had copied?

please add that to your question

To clarify he is called copy ninja because he had copied over a 1000 jutsu's and can use them in battle.  But he always had sharingan when he used his copied skills. Basically does sharingan retain the skills learned or does kakashi?

he more then likely would retain the jutsu's he had learned and would be able to use them. but wouldn't be able to copy new ones.

It's a good question you there. Kakashi uses the Sharingan to copy ninjutsu that he has seen from other ninjas like the Water Dragon Jutsu and to continue using them, he has used his memory and experience to remember the seals to perform them. The Sharingan is a tool which he uses it to learn other ninja's ninjutsu the fast way and his brain memorises the ninjutsu so that he can cast it instantly whenever he needs it.
Hope I have answered your question.

I agree with Bryan Se To  above.
In terms of copying, I see the Sharingan as a camera.
It takes crystal clear images of the jutsu being perform from hand seals to chakra.
Kakashi remembers these images and can perform the same jutsu providing he have the same type of chakra and able to perform the hand seals.
He probably have images of jutsu he can't perform like bloodline limits, but still have knowledge of it.
With the sharingan like a camera, so long as he have the mental images in his brain he can perform the jutsu even if the sharingan is destroy/removed.
Kind of like taking photos of your girlfriend. Doesn't matter if she destroy the camera, you still have the photos.

Indeed a good question.
Yes, but there is a limit. Based on the wiki:

The Sharingan's second-most prominent ability grants the user an incredible clarity of perception. This allows the user to pick up on subtle details, enabling them to read lip movements or mimic something like pencil movements.

Now, if a Sharingan user has this incredible clarity of perception, he can easily copy hand seals. The result is that he can copy that jutsu and store that in his memory for other use. On the other hand, since it is a copied jutsu, it doesn't mean that he master that jutsu. As a result, Kakashi requires more chakra to perform that jutsu thus giving him a limitation to use them frequently.
In addition, he can't fully utilize/copy if a jutsu requires Kekkei genkai (not just hand seals).

Yes he can. His sharingan enables him to see the hand seals movement of the enemy, where then he do the same seals, thus copying the jutsu. However, during Naruto's training of Rasen Shuriken, he told Naruto that he can copy the Rasengan but only up to the level where the Rasengan is on the palm in its sphere form. He cannot copy beyond that despite the fact that Rasengan is not a Kekkei Genkai jutsu. What this means is that the Sharingan is not the reason he can copy other people's jutsu. Sharingan helped him copying jutsu by seeing the hand seals, but what enabled him to perform the jutsu is that he has the elemental affinity for the jutsu. So far, it has been shown that Kakashi is able to use 4 of the 5 basic elements (fire, water, earth, and lightning). His main affinity is lightning, though.
Also, based on the manga where ninjas not from Village of the Hidden Rock used earth jutsu to stop the bijuudama, it seems that up to a certain level, people can use jutsu of elements that they don't have the affinity for. But, considering that Rasengan was said to be an A rank jutsu (or S, not sure) it is possible that people's element affinity itself has its level. Meaning that Kakashi had the affinity for 4 of the 5 basic elements with lightning being the strongest considering his only original jutsu (Raikiri a.k.a Chidori) is of that element. This fits the fact of him being able to use Rasengan, an A rank jutsu, but not being able to use Rasen Shuriken, an S rank jutsu which requires elemental transformation.

Kakashi has never used a Wind based nature transformation. He can use Fire, Water, Earth and Lightning, Lightning being the one he has the natural affinity for. http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Special:BrowseData/Characters?Chakra_type=Wind_Release&Media=Manga

Well...yep he can use those jutsu which he sees with Hus sharingan....sharingan notes those hand seals which a ninja performs and Kakashi at the same time remembers them.
After remembering them it's easy for him to perform the jutsu in future however more chakra is required for him. ...
+ we may not forget that he has a affinity for lightning element...which certainly means that other jutsu which he copies....cannot be performed by their fullest potential.. However with time and experience he can perform those abilities with their required amount of chakra and less burden

Kakashi can use wind style, too. He uses the Rasengan, which is a wind style jutsu. This is during his teaching Naruto with the wood user Yamato. So, I guess I have my answer: he can use all styles.

The Rasengan is not the same as the Wind Release: Rasengan. Only the latter jutsu requires affinity for the wind element to be able to perform it.

Where I can buy/rent digital versions of Studio Ghibli films?
To be honest, I’m mostly interested in Hayao Miyazaki’s films (My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Ponyo). They aren’t available on Netflix, iTunes, the PS3 or Xbox VOD services despite other Disney-owned movies (Pixar movies for example) being available there. Has Disney ever put any of Ghibli's films in any digital distribution service?

I am not sure how this question is any more off-topic than this older question which is still open. Anyone care to explain close votes?

@LoganM The only reason I did is because we disallow asking about potentially copyrighted material sources. Our FAQ is ambiguous about whether or not asking for legal sources of anime is allowed, though I thought I recalled us having decided against it. Either way, I'm fine reopening it, or having a meta discussion on it so we can come to an agreement.

@Eric I'm pretty sure we don't disallow asking about copyrighted material, because virtually every anime ever is copyrighted. We don't allow questions about illegally acquiring such material (fansubs, scanalations, etc), but I see no problem with questions asking whether there is a legal release. It's not clear that these are questions we really want, but that is something that needs to be decided on meta.

Relevant meta post

For whatever reason, Disney seems to prefer more traditional distribution methods. Going to Disney's Studio Ghibli page, I could not find any information on purchasing these in any digital format. All of the links they had were to purchase physical DVDs or Blu-rays. If they were selling it in a digital format officially, I imagine they would have included that on the website.
As for streaming services, you've listed most of the relevant ones, which probably means it isn't being streamed anywhere legally. I know for a fact that Ponyo was available at one point for streaming through Netflix, but what movies these services offer can vary on a day-to-day basis. I can't tell if any of them are available for streaming at the moment, but even if they are, it would likely change in the near future anyway, so your best bet is just to check with whatever services you do use and see if they have it. If not, your only legal option (at the moment) is to buy the DVD/Blu-ray.

Howl's Moving Castle was also on Netflix streaming at one point.

I have discovered that its the 'Japanese arm of studio Ghibli'  that is withholding the digit oral distribution rights and bans any company or studio from selling or renting the Ghibli films in digital format. But what they gain by doing that is a still anyone's guess. :-/
Truthfully no one knows why they won't release the films digitally. I've had no luck in trying to contact Ghibli, Disney who do the American dubbing and distribution, or StudioCanal who now do the UK distribution.
The simple answer is you can't buy them anywhere and the only way to get hold of them is to rip a digital file from the DVD or Bluray, if you have the know how to do that, or get the films illegally from Internet torrents which no one wants to do as a general rule, given that its fiddly, time consuming, unreliable and illegal. Presumably, there's some complicated licensing issue at stake or perhaps one of the investors has some vested interest in Bluray or DVD distribution that they need to protect, but it's all guesswork and conjecture unless someone can find an explanation or actually get a response from one of the companies on the matter.
I'm just a Miyazaki fan like any other and am always frustrated by this when I periodically try and hunt for any of the films to buy so I message them on their UK Facebook page intermittently to try and get their attention on the matter, though again I've never had a personal reply to any message I've sent, nor to any queries I've sent directly to the studios. But I did start a petition the other day on change.org and sent it out into the net just to see how much attention it gets as I'd be curious to know if there's many other people looking for these films online or if I'm just a frustrated minority.
The petition is connected to Disney and StudioCanal who seem, according to Google searches, to be the studios currently controlling the western distribution rights. Whether there are other companies imposing the restrictions from elsewhere, it's hard to tell but Disney and StudioCanal are the ones losing profits by not selling the films and so if enough people post on their Facebook page, email other studios and sign petitions like the one I've started, then eventually the studios might start thinking there's enough interest in the films that its worth resolving whatever issues are preventing their digital distribution and releasing them. They're the ones who have the power to change things and resolve whatever problems are holding the films back so if they can be made to see they are encouraging piracy of films they hold the rights to by refusing to sell them and thus losing out on millions in revenue from those lost sales then logic would suggest that eventually they've got to see reason and fight whatever is preventing them from releasing these films.  Holding them back must be losing them money from lost sales and encouraging piracy to boot as that's the only way to get the films at the minute so presumably there must be a huge legal, financial or contractual obstruction in the way that is preventing the films being distributed and knowing exactly which studio or company is responsible for the restriction is nearly impossible but with enough consumer interest and consumer complaints they must eventually relent and resolve the issue.
For now the only solution to this problem, apart from reverting to DVDs and Blurays, seems to be pirating the films illegally (far from ideal or advisable for many obvious reasons but as absurd as it may seem that is the only option people are being offered currently) or alternatively the only other option is contacting and pleading 'en mass' with the studios involved to request the release of the film. My humble attempt to write a petition is below and states the frustration of not being allowed to legally buy films and being forced to pirate or go without and the logic of releasing the films digitally and pleads with the studios to release them.
Anyone out there who wants to see these films released, I'd encourage you to consider signing it or even starting your own petition if you believe you have found a better platform to launch one from or a more direct line to the correct studio or person that hold the decision on releasing these films or not. But also reply on this post or others if you find out any further information on why the films aren't available or who is responsible for their restriction.
The best educated guess is what's already been stated in previous answers, that the studios (Disney and StudioCanal it seems but there may be other Japanese studios in loved in the matter too) may (and this is purely guesswork) have a financial investment in Bluray or DVD so don't want to support the (perhaps less profitable?) digital distribution of the films. If this is the case then the way to reverse their decision would be to convince them that they have more to lose by not selling the films digitally than to gain by only selling physical discs.
If they think people are buying the discs because they're not sold digitally then they will never release the films but if they get the message that people are choosing to pirate the films instead of buying he discs then they might realise that it's in their interest to sell the films online digitally. A popular misconception is that video piracy exists because people don't want to pay but the emergence of iTunes and Netflix, et al has shown a huge drop in piracy, suggesting that people are quite happy to pay if the price is right and the service is easy to use so far from piracy being held in place by copy protection and legislation it would seem its actually prevented by offering consumers an easy affordable alternative.
That is the message that the studios need to hear from their customers in order to convince them that wide digital distribution of films is the only solution to preventing piracy. For the moment they may still see Blurays and DVDs as more profitable but until the scales tip completely over to digital streaming sales the only way to make your voice heard is to speak up to the studios. If enough voices are heard they will listen. They have no way if knowing how many people are refusing to buy physical discs or have already bought discs but would be willing to buy digital versions too if only they were available so the only way of them knowing that is if consumers speak up. This isn't an answer to where you can buy the films in the short term but hopefully it may be part of the solution to ensuring people can buy the films in the long run.
Join the campaign to make the films available on change.org

Please consider breaking your paragraphs up and assigning headers to sections to your answer to be more easily digestible to other users and direct their intention to your key points, instead of havng them read a wall of text.

I'm going to be 100% honest, your wording in the petition does not really sound like you're a Miyazaki fan at all.

My guess is that they think DVD is the better end user experience.  I bought a few just to support Ghibli.  The packaging is gorgeous. But I don't own a DVD player, and if I did, I wouldn't want to use it.  It might be a generational issue :)

If you live in Italy, since the 8 November plenty of Studio Ghibli features are available on Infinity, the new streaming service from Mr. Berlusconi's Mediaset:
http://www.infinitytv.it/
As I live in the UK, I cannot subscribe that service, but apparently they may even allow you to download the features on mobile devices.
The Infinity TV blog dedicated a recent entry to Miyazaki:
http://blog.infinitytv.it/talk/miyazaki-filmografia/
If Studio Ghibli allows that in Italy, I would imagine is merely a matter of providers for other territories not being able to match its commercial demands.
While anime in Italy is not as big as in Japan, it is way bigger and popular among the general audience than in USA or in UK, so new challengers on the digital market arena such as Infinity TV are probably getting a larger incentive on matching the requests of the Japanese film studio or of its distributors.

There are some titles in the UK iTunes store, like The Castle of Cagliostro or Grave of the Fireflies. Not so much, but is something.

How far can the sharingan go?
The Sharingan makes the user able to follow the target better, which shortens the reaction time of the user. Does the Sharingan make your mind think faster as well?
If it doesn't, the users mind should not be able to keep up with what the Sharingan is able to see. If the mind becomes faster, then the user would become a super genius.
Or is there simply no logic at all?
Naruto has recently learned the flash ability from his father Minato. When someone uses flash are they teleporting or just moving really fast?
Additionally, could any form of the Sharingan "keep up" visually with the "flash ability" of either Naruto or Minato?

Please consider editing your question to ask 1 thing at a time (with the other beinging a seperate question) as the 2 question you ask don't seem to be related to one another

Sorry, but why is depending on what the answer is on question 2. I will have a follow up question..

btw, your profile pic is awesome. Code Geass 4 Life !!!

the stuff under the Sharingan are fine as "Does the Sharingan make your mind think faster as well?", "does it make you a genius" and "Or is there simply no logic at all?" are all related, I am talking about the Naruto Flash Ability which is asking if it's super speed or teleportation, this itself should be a separate question as the previous question is asking about the Sharingan

No,because if the answer would be that the flash ability is a speed thing instead of teleportation, then my next question would be if the Sharingan is able to keep up with it.

But you do not have that in the question, you first ask about the Sharingan then about Naruto's Flash Ability but there is nothing connecting the 2 and this follow up question does not exists

look now there are two answer for your question choosing correct answer will be difficult

I understand Memor-X, sorry for taking up your time.

Sharingan by no means makes the bearer any smarter. Sharingan enables its bearer to:

See chakra of someone, but not the chakra points
See motions in greater detail making it feels like slow-motioned
Perform genjutsu better
Do sharingan specific jutsu, like Amaterasu, Izanagi, Izanami, etc.

The logic behind it is that normally humans don't use the maximal capacity of their brain, only about 10% if I'm not mistaken. In using the 2nd ability, Sharingan utilize more of the brain to do image processing, but not anything else. As for ability 1, 3 and 4, it's just that Sharingan is like a prerequisite to do so, just like a mere 160 cm basketball player would not be able to do slam dunk unless he have an ultra strong foot muscles. Sharingan is like that, only instead of foot, it's the eyes. Therefore, though Sharingan enables such feats I mentioned above, it doesn't make the user any smarter.
As for Naruto, as far as I know, Naruto is just moving very fast. His fast movement is different than that of Minato. Minato uses Space and Time Jutsu. That means Minato is not moving, he is teleporting. That's why he needs his kunai as marker.
Sharingan would not be able to keep up with it when he's on the teleportation, but when he shows up, it can.

When Naruto learns the Flash ability just before he goes out to join the war, we see Naruto actually getting his foot stuck in some stone after failing at using the Flash ability. From this, we can tell that the Flash ability allows the user to move very fast, because it'd take a large amount of force for Naruto to hit the stone, crack it and get stuck in it. Where as based on concept, teleportation would not exert any sort of outward force, Naruto would shift positions in space, but his initial vectors would not change.
This moment is at 9min 39sec of episode 250 of Naruto Shippudan. Here Naruto get's stuck after hitting Kisame(Akatsuki Member) and Bee chases after Kisame as he tries to get away.
As we all know, the Sharingan further awakens based on the level of despair a user of the Sharingan goes through. Check the wiki for more info: http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Sharingan

The Sharingan's power, because of its ties to the Curse of Hatred, is both a blessing and a curse. The moment that an Uchiha comes to know a powerful emotion towards someone, such as love and friendship, a stressful or emotional condition brought out from losing that precious person causes the brain to release a special form of chakra that affects the optic nerves while transforming the eyes into Sharingan.[26] After its initial activation, the Sharingan may be used freely, although it is possible for an Uchiha to lose memory of such an event and not reactivate it until through willpower years later.[27][28] When the Sharingan is first activated by a user, it has a different number of tomoe (巴) around the central pupil, varying between users.[29][27]
The wielder of the Sharingan, through continued use and training, changes its form further, which involves the eye maturing fully until it has three tomoe. As the Sharingan develops, the user gains heightened abilities through the heightened ocular sense. For example, they can at least copy hand movements with one tomoe, predict a person's movement and copy techniques with two and completely use the Sharingan's abilities when it is fully matured. From what characters have noted, this dōjutsu apparently "glows" in the dark.[30][31] True to its name, the Sharingan and its derived forms have shown the ability to spin.[32] It is shown that when a person awakens their Mangekyō Sharingan without a fully matured Sharingan, their Sharingan will automatically mature while developing into a Mangekyō Sharingan.[33]

But if The flash ability = moving really fast, then why do minato need to put down a mark where he wants to go and why doesn´t Naruto need to?

This can be explained in a few ways. The mark can be used for prediction to result in less errors being made upon using the ability. If this is the case, it could explain why Naruto failed and Minato succeeded. That or Naruto can use the ability at a higher level than Minato, just that he hasn't mastered it yet, making him error prone.

@FatalSleep Pls try to backup your answers with site reference. I guess you are giving your own speculations in your previous comment.

I agree FatalSleep, I was thinking the same thing it´s just that I was wondering if they answerd this question in the series (Have I simply missed it or is there no sure answer?)

Flash ability is a teleportation. It's a space time technique something like Kamui. Naruto hasn't learned it so far. Naruto's speed,strength,skills are dramatically increased when he's in Nine Tails Chakra Mode.
Now his abilities are even increased with Sage's power.

Can Lucy still call her Celestial Spirits?
After the time skip, Lucy gained the new magic "Star Dress" that allows Lucy to have the power of her Celestial Spirits.
But is she still able to call her Celestial Spirits as she did before?
I haven't watched the entire anime series, I just read the manga. Did I forget or miss something about Lucy's Celestial Spirits?

Yes you forgot about a few events. She summoned both Virgo and the Star Dress, Virgo Form in chapter 427 for example.

Other examples are:

Chapter 422 where she summoned both Leo and his dress
Chapter 431 where she summoned both Taurus and his dress

It seems that she always summons a dress and doesn't want to rely on the spirits alone any more, but she can still summon them. Seeing as she can summon two spirits at the same time (maybe more by now), she can also summon both the dress and a spirit and I'm assuming she can even summon both the dress of one spirit and another spirit at the same time. I don't think they must be related.

oh yes! I'm forget about that Lucy and summon Virgo and also her dress. I remember now, if I'm not mistaken when she summon Taurus and his dress when fight against Avatar right?

How do manga artists make a volume?
A volume of manga an average has about 180-220 pages. A page of grey scale manga takes about 8-10 hours.

Welcome to A&M! Could you [edit] the question to make it a tad more specific? As it stands your question is quite unclear. Are you asking how a volume is determined? How the pages are made? How the artist deals with the workload?

The question wasn't completely clear, so my answer may not be what you are looking for. That being said, I will tell you how volumes are 'made'.
As you may know, manga chapters are published in magazines on a regular schedule. An example of such a magazine is the Weekly Shonen Jump.
However, if a manga is popular enough, some of the individual chapters published in the magazine are collected and published into a single book. This book is a volume. Once there are enough chapters, another volume will be published.
Hope my answer helped you.

Which chapter depicts Doraemon and Nobita on Easter Island?
This one is from a Doraemon manga and the story appears to be called 'Battle on Easter Island'.

Which Chapter is it from and how can I purchase/acquire a copy?

With "which manga is it from" do you perhaps mean which chapter? As you already kind of answered the which manga it is from part.

The "Battle on Easter Island" appears in the 3rd chapter of "The Devil of Time and Space" arc (時空の魔神), in the 2nd volume of The Doraemons Special (ザ・ドラえもんズ スペシャル) manga.
The arc's storyline revolves around Nostradamus' "1999 prophecy".

Nostradamus Arc
Nostradamus the prophet, who was sealed, escapes from the space and time dimension plot to make his prediction come true about the world's end in 1999. It is up to Doraemon, Nobita and the gang to stop him.

The panel on the question depicts Doraemon and Nobita on Easter Island being attacked by the people who are under the influence of Nostradamus, and Nostradamus himself attacking the group with a rain of thunder.
The series has not been licensed in English, so there's no way to acquire it legally. However, for the original Japanese language, it can be purchased on Amazon.

References:

AniOta Wiki - 時空の魔神(ザ☆ドラえもんズ) (Japanese)

That is extremely helpful. Are you sure it is available in that specific issue that you have indicated is available on Amazon?

@IanC based on AniOta Wiki referring to The Doraemons Special vol. 2 released in 1997, and Japanese Wikipedia stating the ISBN for the vol. 2 (ISBN 4091493025), I'm pretty sure it's the correct item on Amazon (matches the ISBN and the release year).

what is name of soundtrack in Attack on Titan episode 18 arround around 19:50?
I started watching Attack on Titan and this soundtrack started playing  when the " Titans" showed up at Armin Arlert's group, around 19:51 of episode 18.
What soundtrack is this?

The music at this scene seems to be a variation of the second half of the song 凸】♀】♂】←巨人 : https://youtu.be/CVk770kdp3A?t=136 - the song from the OST contains some sound effects which are not heared in the scene itself.

The songs name is probably 'Bad Karma'

Actually, both songs used a sample from a pack called deepest india recorded in the 90s (according to Axel Thesleff's tweet, the artist of Bad Karma himself)

How does Hitagi fall if she's weightless?
At the start of Hitagi Crab

in an accident involving a misplaced banana peel, Hitagi falls down the flight of stairs that lead to the upper floors of Naoetsu Private High School and ends up in the arms of Koyomi Araragi

but the oddity that Hitagi was inflicted by was the Heavy Stone Crab which took away her weight which means she's weightless and sorta like being in space so when she tripped she wouldn't fall down like unless someone gave her a push after.
not to mention that when Araragi catches her he feels that she's weightless which is how Hitagi's "secret" was found out by him
How does Hitagi fall if she's weightless?

Even though she is weighless, her cloth weight,shoes weight could help her in falling

She was 5kg under the influence of the apparition, not really weightless (0kg).

As @AkiTanaka mentioned and by checking Volume 1 of Bakemonogatari, we can see that she's not exactly weightless. She weighed 5 kilograms. To quote from the light novel:

You’ve noticed, haven’t you?...That’s right─I don’t weigh a thing..Well, it’s not as if I don’t at all─a girl my height and body type would have an average body weight in the high forties, in kilograms...But my actual body weight is five kilograms...Now, if you want to be completely accurate, it’s only that a scale displays my weight as five kilos─I personally don’t notice it....

Her saying she weighs nothing is just an exaggeration or a figure of speech. She doesn't really weigh nothing, it's more like a hyperbole, since the difference between 5kg and an average person's weight is noticeable.

Your answer is more likely to be correct~

Yes, Hitagi probably was weightless but think about it, she still have her cloth wearing and the other thing, her stationary. Why is she bringing those stationary? It's because she need weight.
As you can see she suddenly pull out a lot of stationary when she meet Araragi the second time.

On the Bakemonogatari photo, She also have a lot stationary on her body. (The stationary falling out from her)

So, I think this is why she is actually not weightless at all. (Well her body is weightless but her other thing is not weightless.)
