What happens to Zoro's scabbards when he's in a fight?
Various times, when Zoro is fighting, his scabbards just disappear mid fight. Especially when it is convenient, because he is doing motions that require a lot of flexibility and what not. So, I imagine it is just easier to help with the battle to act like his scabbards do not exist but is there a good reason for this that I am missing?
I have been surprised by the answers to weird questions I have had about anime on the internet so I want to see if someone can give me a rational explanation for this. Thanks!

This is just oppinion based but I think Zoro scabbards are one of many Oda's jokes. Zoro keep's commenting on Luffy throwing his own scabbard during the Wano arc so...

Recently this has not been happening to my knowledge so idk.

I would call this a "mistake" or something similar, but I don't think that would do it justice. Not to take away from the time, effort, and skill of One Piece's artists or Oda-sensei himself, but you'll find in many of Oda's SBS columns (a section of the manga in which Oda, OP's creator, answers questions from his fans), that these kinds of questions are typically answered in a somewhat silly way. Although there's a clear effort to minimize such "mistakes," their importance is obviously not the most important thing to Oda. You'll find a favorite example of such an answer on the top answer of this thread. Not so satisfying for everyone, but if you'll excuse the speculation, I'd imagine Oda would give you an answer with the spirit of "Sometimes he doesn't like to wear them. He'll pick them up later."

What happened to Nopperabo's entire face?
A flashback of Noperabbo before he went to jail shows him looking pretty normal, like the average Human Being.

However, he presently looks like some form of Alien with literally no resemblance to his former self.

What exactly caused this drastically uncanny change in his facial appearance?

Where does the phrase ecchi sketchy one touchy come from?
In several anime, a character will yell this on despise to something perverted. It even shows up in non anime media like Yakuza Kiwami 2. What’s the origin of this phrase?

I've never heard of the 'sketchy one touchy', but 'ecchi' comes from the letter 'h' in 'hentai'. Japanese pronounce 'h' as 'ecchi'

Found a possible answer in another reddit post but it is in Japanese: https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/エッチスケッチワンタッチ Maybe someone who knows can translate this for you.

My Japanese is not great, but the link supplied by W. Are, https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/エッチスケッチワンタッチ does give an explanation.
Apparently it's a phrase commonly used by school children in the 70's, but it's unknown where exactly the phrase comes from. The page lists several different theories, though my Japanese is not good enough to quite get all of the theories. One is that "touch" is what kids say when playing tag (instead of "tag, you're it"), another is there was a product by the company Glico called one touch curry. But at any rate, it's a phrase that caught on because of the sing-song, rhyming sort of sound to the phrase, and from what I gather from the article, similar to the kid nonsense sayings of western culture, like "circle-circle-dot-dot now I have a cootie shot."

Does this mean Hammerheads can both swim and fly were in Reese's and Thomas's could have went airborn?

How could someone with Magic wield the Anti-magic weapons?
The Witch Queen told Asta and his friends a bit about the history of the elves in Black Clover Episode 65. She stated that the elves possessed great magical abilities and were so strong that many of them were her equal in terms of magical strength (and she is very prideful; for her to admit that says a lot.)
What is really baffling me thou is when she stated that the leader of the elves was the former wielder of the Anti-Magic weapons that Asta currently uses, which subsequently blew Asta's mind and mine too!

How is it possible if people with Magic can't wield them?
We know that the only reason that Asta can use those swords is because he was born without magic and hence the sword does not weaken him. However, the leader of the elves possessed strong magical powers and yet he could still wield the Anti magic weapons. Even the Wizard King admitted that only people without Magic could wield those weapons. Are there any exceptional rules to how the Anti magic weapons work?

She says they're the remnants of the weapons wielded by the Elf leader, and in the flashback they looked very different to Asta's ones (much shinier). It's possible that they weren't anti-magic back then, or they worked differently.

Yea but then they could have gotten old and dulled in appearance @ConMan I guess thats a possibility thou

Maybe through a curse seal technique.

I feel like this is the kind of question where the answer is potentially "Wait until they explain it in the show/manga itself".

I'll have to agree with ConMan, this is something we have to wait for the official explanation, we would just be speculating. For the longest time, I assumed some sort of Kamijou Touma thing was going on with Asta.

@pboss3010   in a sense Anti magic is actually very similar to imagine breaker tbh, they can both nullify all forms of magic and supernatural effects/entities, Asta is just better off in many ways.

I was referring more to that it was hinted (and in later in the series outright said) that the imagine breaker is holding something back in Touma, where we haven't gotten that kind of hint with Asta.

@ConMan remember when Yami and licht fought, I rewatched it and here is what litch said: "Why do you have that grimoire? How did you get the demon dwelling sword and the demon slayyer sword? Those swords belong to the master!" This indicates that the sword has not changed at all because he called it by the original names so I'm sure at this point that the elf elder wielded them while they had anti magic

ALso @ConMan remember when Asta used his sword to unknowingly absorb Noels Magic? the sword started glowing, this could signify that there's some unknown mechanism towards using the swords to absorb magic rather than cancel or redirect. And during the flashback, both swords were glowing, meaning they were charged with mana, which is funny cause the swords are anti magic and are supposed to cancel magic, but then I guess there's a way they can be used to absorb magic or redirect, depending on some wierd factors

Honestly, I don't remember any of that, because I'm not the main person in my household watching the show. But yes the fact that his sword has some kind of special history has been there from the start. What that history actually is, will presumably have to wait another 100 chapters.

From recent manga all of this has been answered.
Three swords already have the ability we see today with the exception of anti magic. That is the Demon slayer sword already had the ability to cut and deflect magic when Licht was the owner of this grimoire. (This is why Licht was able to cut the storm in which Tetia the princess was stuck.) Similarly the Demon dweller sword already had the power to absorb surrounding people and the owner magic spells and release it as flying slash and to glow after it has absorbed certain amount of magic and the Demon destroyer sword other than able to cut magic and spells. It also already had the ability to absorb and remove the effect of spells.
So anyone with magic would have been able to wield them. This is why they were present in a four leaf grimoire because of its tremendous strength and also before this grimoire became five leaf grimoire these swords were shiny. It is after the grimoire became a five leaf grimoire and housed a demon that they became dark and shady and were able to absorb anti magic from the grimoire in which the demon resides.

Maybe they could use magic that levitates swords but the "levitation/gravity magic" doesn't "physically contact" the swords, or at least it drains the mana slower.

it would normally be impossible unless:

the wielder ran out of mana.
the wielder has a huge amount of mana.
the wilder concentrates all of there mana away from the sword.

Running out of Mana is detrimental to a mage (In the black clover universe) it causes exhaustion which would make it impossible to lift those 2 heavy swords, and in extreme cases loss of consciousness.

Is Moro capable of raising his power unlimitedly with his technique?
So the new villain Moro has the hability of absorbing life energy around him, similar to the Genki Dama, but without needing the life forms to lend the energy to him, he just takes it from them. Does this mean Moro is capable of raising his power unlimitedly?

Based on the recent Manga Chapter, it has been established that Morro's true power isn't simply raw physical strength but more dependent on his magic.We know this as Goku makes a comment after sensing Morro that his energy wasn't that big( Which was the case for some of the other strong fighters we've seen like Jiren and BrolyI would consider Morro to be a character similar to that of Hit. Just like Hit was much more deadly with his special assassination techniques in comparison to his raw strength, Morro is most likely deadly with his magic. So to answer your question, it might not necessarily raise only his physical strength. It might possibly allow him to improve his magic or raise its power or what not.

Does Dabura and Kid Buu fusion have a name?
In chapter #4 of the manga, a fusion of Buu with Dabura appeared.

Does this fusion have a name?

 This isn't a fusion. Buu has an ability to absorb a character if he pleases, and his power skyrockets and he takes on a modified appearance based on the character he absorbs. We have seen him do this to Gotenks, Gohan, and Picollo. These iterations of Buu have been referred to as Buutenks, Buuhan and Buucolo, which aren't canon names but just used by fans for convenience. For example, Buuhan is referred to as Super Buu(With Gohan absorbed).This here is a version of Buu with Dabura absorbed. Dabura assumes he defeated Buu and focuses his attention on Goku. He is caught off guard by Buu and absorbed. This is the result of the same you see here. So there is no official name for this iteration of Buu, (Possibly, Kid Buu(With Dabura absorbed) and Based on the pattern of some of the previous fan names, the character could possibly be referred to as Buubura.

The Dragon Ball Heroes anime is promotional material, hence very short and cannot cover all the material present in the manga, As of now, the anime has finished the Prison Planet Arc and has now moved on to the Universal Conflict arc, which you can read about here.

How did Trafalgar Law get to and leave Marineford?
My question is two-fold:

How did Trafalgar Law and the other "Worst Generation" pirates get to Marineford? I thought you had to go through the tri-currents? Or is that the tri-currents are just a faster way but you can come any other way since Marineford is not in the calm belt?
How did Trafalgar Law leave the tri-currents? This especially puzzled me. I am thinking now that it might be because of their submarine. My assumption is that it can move freely, does not depend on currents, but I am not sure.

I would appreciate answers that are based on more than just speculation.

So, to add a bit of clarification to all the answers.
The Tri-current (Tarai Current) are a natural whirlpool at the intersection of the Calm Belt and Red Line. The WG build three facilities around the current (Impel Down - MarineFord - Enies Lobby), making use of the current power to fast travel between the three. The currents work also underwater as per natural ocean currents, but probably have different speeds and power at different underwater levels.
Here's a pictures depicting the wihrlpool:

The Gates of Justice are 3 such gates placed at the "corners" of the current from where you can enter or access it. This is the only way for normal ships (floating ships) to get inside the current. The whole phenomenon doesn't quite follow natural physics so one shouldn't try to find natural ways of how to enter/exit it.
Also, you can't get in from the outside without using the gates as the outside currents will push you away from the whirlpool and vice-versa from the inside where the whirlpool will keep pushing you into a circle.
Now on how Law & others managed to get there.
One possibility is that they entered the current by going underwater through the Gates of Justice while they were openend. After the gates close, the outside currents will keep you from entering, even underwater. That is why Bepo said to hurry as the gates are closing, so they could catch the overflowing current to the outside, while submerged. The same applies to WB's ship who was also underwater.
Another possibility for WB's ship to enter is if he used the Gura Gura no Mi's powers to temporarily divert the currents and enter from any side of the whirlpool. Law still had to enter from the gates nontheless.
And even another posibility could be that they entered MarineFord by bypassing the big current, from Sabaody Arch. for exemple, and managed to get around the marines defence of those waters. They probably left through the Gate of Justice to make for a quick escape rather then going back and risking to get captured.
More on One Piece fandom about the Tarai Current.

I am not sure why you are saying Law had to enter from the gates. In your depiction even, we can see that there seems to be other ways to arrive there by just sailing. And this does not explain 2 at all.

@Akaisteph7 I guess you refer to the fact that Law could bypass the currents and get to MarineFord directly. As per the image above it is possible, I doubt the Marines have left those waters unprotected. There are probably many layers of defence around the 3 facilities and one can't go unnotice around there so you have to use the currents somehow. Even with a submarine, remember that BigMom had underwater snails that detected movement. These are just my asumptions based on all the info there is about the Tarai Currents.

@Akaisteph7 I've edited my answer to cover that possibility aswell :)

The Heart Pirates (Law’s crew) travel by submarine, rather than normal ship. Using their sub, they were either able to pass below the Gates of Justice (this is my presumption) or travel under/around the currents normally blocking passage to Marineford.
They left the same way, staying a fair distance from the actual island and fighting. Kizaru attempted to stop them, firing beams into the ocean as they dove, but the sub made it out of the area (we can assume they left the same way they entered).

Ya they took the current because they wouldn't have made it in time otherwise, there's no indication that you can't get there any other way.
Considering white beard's entire fleet got there underwater I assume that you're able to maneuver freely.

Tri Currents has nothing to do with getting to and leaving Marine Ford. It only helps if you are trying to go to and fro from Ennis Lobby, Impel Down or Marine Ford. It does not mean that this is the only way to get to Marine Ford. It is just one of the way.
Tri currents is a marine exclusive current between Impel Down, Ennis Lobby and Marine Ford. Using this way will increase the speed of travel between these places.
You can get to Marine Ford from Sabaody archipelago in half an hour without using the currents. Marines and Celestial Dragons travel regularly between the two.
Only problems for Pirates and other criminals to use this way would be the heavy patrols. But they can get past these patrols by doing what WB, Law did and come underwater. Or by doing what Luffy did(when he rang the Ox Bell) by hijacking a marine ship, you can get there.
Since Law never entered the currents, he never had to leave it.
On a side note, Luffy, Jinbei, Crocodile, and Co would have been trapped the Tri Currents if not for Black Beard, when they escaped Impel Down through the Tri Currents.

Tri-currents obviously has to do with getting to and from Marineford... It might not be the only way though, which I am guessing you're trying to say. That answers 1. But Law obviously entered the currents to leave Marineford, maybe you should check what actually happened before making such claims. This is why I said I wanted more than just speculation.

Where did he enter tri currents? He just went underwater and escaped. Exactly when did Law enter the Tri Currents?

Before they leave, I think Bepo says to hurry because the gates of justice are about to close. They don't actually show them entering the currents but why would they mention that if they don't pass through the gates?.. It's in Chapter 580.

Ok, my bad. I did not see that part. I don't know Law used the Tri Currents.

I don't know the exact answer as to how he got out. But one way could be that he got under the currents since it was a submarmine and got out.
Or since Hancock was following them, she could have asked the marines to open the gate when they reached Ennis Lobby or Impel Down.

I am thinking it has something to do with the submarine but I am not sure, hence the question. And also, you should not be able to leave the tricurrents that easily. Maybe they depended on Boa Hancock somehow.. I would love some clarity on this.

@Akaisteph7 Flipping through Ch580 and the few chapters surrounding it Bepo doesn't seem to mention the gates of justice could you cite a more specific page? In Ch 580 Bepo warns Law that gawking at the carnage is a bad idea given their dire circumstances but doesn't seem to mention the Gates of Justice. It simply doesn't make sense to make use of the tub currents as Bepo is surprised Hancock even found them so they wouldn't have had a way out at ether Enies Lobby or Impel Down. The simplest assumption is that everybody left via not the tub currents

@Gatchwar Interesting, I can't find it either. But I also don't remember which site I was reading from. I'm starting to think it might have just been a wrong translation then..

@Akaisteph7 Possibly, do note that we do not know how far down the gates of justice extend, I don't think its brought up and they wouldn't need to extend deeper than sea level if you're just trying to stop sailing ships. Law's submarine is pretty unique in that regard. We also know from the trip to Fish Man Island that currents may begin and end at different depths so maybe they could just go under the gates and the currents but that isn't touched on since it is never said how they leave. It seems to be more logical they leave how everyone else does, perhaps consider editing the question?

Is there a connection between Medea and Len?
in Carnival Phantasm when everyone is in Ahnenerbe we see Medea (Fate/Stay Night Caster) and Souichirou Kuzuki. but there is someone else with them

Medea has a girl on her lap and i know that girl is Len, the Succubus Demon Familiar who travelled with Arcueid Brunestud before she made a contract with Tohno Shiki in Kagetsu Tohya

Looking at them in this shot we see that they sorta look similar. similar hair and similar ears. but to my understanding in Carnival Phantasm Medea and Len never interacted with one another, yet here they are with Medea looking sorta motherly with Len in her lap.
Is there some sort of connection between Medea and Len which would indicate why 2 are like this in Ahnenerbe when they haven't interacted in the series?

I'm not sure it's anything more than they look like mother and daughter.

A Greek witch picks up a cat succubus. Cats and witches go hand in hand.

Medea is a bit of an otaku as you know and Ren is a cute loli. She's gonna take her home.

Medea loves the idea of being domestic according to Hollow Ataraxia.
If someone gives her full control and she respects them, she basically goes full wife.
The joke is simply that she's just mothering Ren who is like a child.  And Ren isn't the type of person to be bothered by it.

Is Mihawk stronger than one of the gorosei who holds the sword(since mihawk is titled strongest swordsman)?
Since mihawk is titled as the strongest swordsman and there is one samurai in the 5 elders team,so does that mean mihawk is stronger than that gorosei?

Might I redirect you to this question: https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/5765/is-dracule-mihawk-really-the-strongest-swordsman?rq=1

There's no way of telling how strong they are until that Gorosei member shows us some moves. Until then, it's TBA

Agreed on the TBA with the Gorosei, but note that new info in the Vivre Card Databook indicates Mihawk is equivalent to or stronger than Shanks (in terms of swordplay at least). Hence, this assumption of him being stronger than the gorosei is also not very outlandish.

We don't know because we don't know how strong that Gorosei is or (really) how strong Mihawk is.  Mihawk is likely a better swordsman than anyone in One Piece but that doesn't not mean he is stronger than that Gorosei in any other way.
There are several things to note:

Mihawk being the strongest swordsman is as much of a title as a
display of his ability. If there is a character who is a stronger
swordsman, it must be that his ability is underestimated or not known
to the world at large. Zoro won't be the strongest swordsman until
he can somehow be demonstrated as earning that mantel.  As it is Mihawk's
defining character trait and Zoro's dream, I doubt Oda has some mystery swordsman somewhere who is stronger with a sword.
Mihawk's title only refers to his ability with a sword. It is notable that Mihawk's only power seems to come from his reputation
and swordmanship. He has no known devil fruit, no shown Haki (though
he obviously has Armament), no gimmicks, and no crew.  I don't think
many people would doubt that Shanks is stronger and Shanks uses a
sword.  Shank's power, however, includes his crew and his insane
levels of Conquerors Haki.  If Gorosei must be a stronger fighter, he might
be stronger for other reasons than swordsmanship. That being said:
There is no reason to assume the Gorosei members must be all that strong. Maybe he was the strongest but got old. Maybe he was
never that strong but got there based on his intelligence.

(Also Whitebeard was the strongest man but Kaido is the strongest beast.  Maybe there is a stronger swordswoman somewhere? But that doesn't apply here... probably. Unless that Gorosei is a Celestial so is not to be downplayed to the level of mere "man"."

The Gorosei are celestials, they are the highest ranking celestial Dragons. So i do agree with you, for some weird reasons they see themselves as a higher race on the level of gods and that coulld explain why the title of "strongest swordsman" might be seen as an insult rather than a compliment.

@Rumpelstiltskin I really hope Oda doesn't pull that. Though it would be satisfying to see Zoro transcend to that even higher level. (I did know they were Dragons but sorry for the odd wording.)

What is the reading order for Kawaraya A-ta's Asuka and Rei (and sometimes Mari) H-Doujinshi?
There is an artist called Kawaraya A-ta who's done a bunch of H-Doujinshi featuring Asuka and Rei from Neon Genesis Evangelion as Futanari. the ones I have read (as in fan translated) are:

Lovey Dovey
Sin-Lovey Dovey
Pokapoka Onedari Onsen
Oomisoka
Summer Memories
Wokurimono
Kashidashuchuu
Please Punish Me!
Princess and the Slave
Spirit of Flower (Chapter 15 of Hana - Maki no)
Flowers Breaking Through My Soul (Chapter 18 pf Hana - Maki no)
Welcome Home
Welcome Home 2

Well the Doujinshi get messy with all the bodily fluids I did enjoy the story behind them, particularly how in Lovey Dovey Asuka looses her memories yet Rei stays with her and Asuka proposes to Rei but when Asuka regains her memories and acts all Tsundere again she accepts Rei's proposal while in another one when Mari is living with them she seduces and has intercourse with Rei while on the phone with Asuka as a means to get her to admit that she actually loves Rei (as opposed to saying that Rei is just her Pet)
However while titles like Lovey Dovey and Welcome Home make it easy to work out when to read them the others I don't know when they are place as the site I read them on doesn't list publication year and at some point in them Mari turns up and while after this you would expect that Asuka wouldn't be acting all "I am your Master, do as I say" I'm not sure at what point in them this occurs as Asuka doesn't always play the Pet's Master card she is intimate with Rei even before the ones featuring Mari was uploaded.
I would like to know what is the reading order for Kawaraya A-ta's Asuka and Rei H-Doujinshi?

Heyyy. Ive read only one chapter out of all these and haven't read the other ones yet coz I'm still searching for the right order. It's been almost 5 years since this question has been posted so I'm hoping you've got the right order and also there are a couple new chapters. Can you tell me if you know about the reading order

Why did Public Safety Section 9 have to be "sacrificed"?
Near the end, Aramaki made a deal with the Prime Minister to "sacrifice" Section 9 in exchange for the Ministry of Justice taking action against the Party Secretary-General. What I don't understand is why Section 9 had to be "sacrificed." The Prime Minister didn't want to disturb the Lower House elections, and the Ministry of Justice wanted credit for the prosecution, but all of this could have been achieved if Section 9 simply continued lying low and handed over their evidence and credit to the Ministry of Justice. What advantage was there in trying to eliminate Section 9?

In episode 24 it is heavily implied that Section 9 (not the members) is formed by the Prime Minister himself and Section 9 (i.e Aramaki) only reports to or takes order from either the Home Minister Affairs or directly from the Prime Minister himself. This is why Aramaki is immediately called in by the Home Affairs Minister to meet at the Prime Ministers residence in episode 24 when the leak happens to discuss the situation.
The other thing to realize is that, Section 9 got on to the suspicion regarding Yakushima involvement pretty late. Yakushima and his cabal were most definitely keeping tabs on Section 9 from very early on, seeing as to how quickly the Section 9 secret operation (carried out in episode 23) gets leaked to the media just before Section 9 tries to make a move on Yakushima.
So if you take these things into consideration it makes sense as to why Aramaki went to the Prime Minister and why Section 9 ended up being disbanded. It's basically because Section 9 were not able to verify Yakushima involvement in the case until almost the end. As a result, Section 9 didn't have enough time or window to keep tab on Yakushima himself. Therefore they were unable to prevent or predict the leak. Thereby also catching them by surprise. If they were able to verify Yakushima's involvement early on and kept tabs on him, there most likely would not have been the disbanding of Section 9. Or the at the very least the situation would have gone differently.

Why doesn't anyone use the substitution jutsu later in Naruto?
At the start of the series, every spammed substitution jutsu every five minutes, then why later in the series no one uses it anymore. Same goes for the function of the sharingan, it was shown as something that could easily see through other jutsus  and then it's no more used for that purpose.

All though not a direct answer to your question, it does seem related. Why doesn't Kakashi use his copy cat ability that often?

The substitution jutsu is still used constantly, but as the series progressed and the strength of the characters increased it became more practical to use clones instead as clones serve the same purpose and more.
There are notable examples of the substitution jutsu at the end of the series.

Kakashi using it against Obito in their final fight
Killer Bee uses it with one of Hachi's tentacles against Sasuke in their first fight

The technique is indeed extremely useful, and must be easy to do and require low chakra as it is taught in the Academy. It is likely a staple, fundamental technique that is used more often than we see, and is used so frequently and has such a low impact on high level fights that we likely forget if and when it is used.

It ends up becoming useless, as the enemies evolve in anime many techniques can become irrelevant or ineffective. In the case of the substitution jutsu it becomes easily counter-able by enemies like Pain and Madara. Although in some cases it is still used in the place of a counter attack

How did the Denpa Kyoushi manga end?
I have read the raws, but since my japanese isn't very good, I'm not entirely sure about what happened. According to what I understood, Junichirou built a time machine and went to the future. More precisely, the manga shows that he's currently at Africa. But I still have many questions:

Why exactly did he go to future? Was he "sacrificing himself?"
Won't he come back to the present? What about his sister and friends?

I'm quite confused, as you can see. Thank you very much for your attention!

Will of D. in One Piece
There are many people with D. in their titles like Monkey D. Luffy, Gol D. Roger, though we know they call it "Will of D" but what exactly is it. And how they acquire it by birth.

Not a manga reader but based on what I was able to search on the Internet, it is still a mystery and the whole truth isn't quite revealed yet.
From what I understand, it is still not known as to how it is acquired or if it can be acquired by someone consciously. It is, however, known that:

...all share a similar faith in their own (and others') dreams and/or destiny. When a "D." appears, the general consensus is that they are going to stir things up on a global scale, for better or for worse.

Also,

The second thing about the D is the "Inherited Will" which passes down generation from generation according to Roger and Whitebeard. Even if the life of the person is extinguished others will take up their will.

Also from the wiki, only Gol D. Roger from among those who carry the 'D' in their name was able to know the whole meaning and truth behind. If I understand correctly, what he knew has not yet been revealed in the manga. There are a number of theories about this in the Internet which you can look up if you are interested but bear in mind that these are just theories so there is no definite conclusion as to what it is exactly.

I follow the manga, and this is correct. No official confirmation exists, and it is intentionally kept quite mysterious up to this point. The theories are pretty fun to go through, and some are quite deep and may seem valid, however as @W. Are has mentioned, they are just theories.

It is rumored that the "will of D" opposed the the world government during the void century, many claim that they were once the world governments greatest enemies, who sought for "Democracy" rather than monarchy. This was hinted by reighleigh when nico robin asked him about the will of D, but his only reply was "figuring out the void century will explain it all".

I don't have access to the episode right now, but the Wikipedia entry says that episode 16 uses "Rock Over Japan" like most of the Survival Strategy segments. Is it actually a different song?

yes, should have been more specific, it's not rock over Japan. it's when himari's taking pictures of the maid they use some special music.

Hmm, that makes it a little trickier since it's not listed as an insert song on that Wikipedia entry. I still haven't had a chance to check the episode, but I'll see if I can do that tonight.

I've managed to track the song down - it's track 6 on the 1st OST disc, called "sekushii ga kita!" (roughly "Sexy Has Come!", or "Here's sexy!"). As far as I can tell, it is only attributed to Yukari Hashimoto, the composer for the series soundtrack, and as such it doesn't seem to be a cover or direct reference like many of the insert songs in the show.
I can't find a preview of the song that I'm confident isn't a copyright violation, but it shouldn't be hard to find it by yourself.

You found it thx! i'll have to find the reference, it's probably an obscure french movie that inspired him, or maybe i'm wrong. Thank you!

How did Ivankov and Inazuma survive Magellan?
So, in Chapter 545, Ivankov and Inazuma hold off Magellan. And they get covered in poison (at least Ivankov does for sure).
How do they survive that? Maybe Ivankov I can understand, but how can Inazuma be defeated by Magellan and still be able to feel better enough, even with Ivankov's help, to help in the Marineford War?

The following details are taken directly from the wiki page on Inazuma: (emphasis mine)

After a brief fight between Luffy and Blackbeard, Inazuma and the others managed to reach Level 3: here, he cut the stairs to level 2, following the instructions of Ivankov, who stayed to battle Magellan. Refusing to follow the other prisoners to Level 1, Inazuma stayed in front of the stairs waiting for Iva, but he was reached instead by Magellan, who easily defeated him with poison.
Fortunately, Inazuma was picked up by Ivankov. Though both of them were barely alive after being defeated by Magellan's poison, they quickly caught up with the rest of their allies on the top of Impel Down using Iva's Hell Wink to propel them up the prison. Having caught up with the rest of their allies, Inazuma and the rest were not given a moment's rest as Magellan came at them with his most powerful technique. Heeding the advice from Jinbe over the Den Den Mushi, they all hung on to Iva's huge head and using another Hell Wink, blasted their way into the ocean just as Magellan cornered them all at the pier. Though this move seemed foolish due to the waters surrounding Impel Down being a Sea King's nest, they were fortunately saved by a school of whale sharks that Jinbe called for aid.

So yes, they both were defeated by Magellan's poison, and barely escape to the ship. Now, the next section in the page, about the Marineford War states: (emphasis mine)

Inazuma was treated for his poisons on the escape ship to Marineford. Ivankov decides not to use his healing and tension hormones, claiming that Inazuma is a very important revolutionary and this process shortens the lifespan and may cause various after-effects. Iva decides just to wait until Inazuma is recovered.
Near the end of the battle at Marineford, Inazuma emerged from Ivankov's hair, having been hiding in it all of the time since the boat crashed into the battle. He then used his Devil Fruit powers to create a walkway to Ace's Execution platform for Luffy.

Similarly, from the page on Ivankov:

Ivankov revealed he used Healing Hormones and Tension Hormones to save himself from the poison, but he did not want to put Inazuma through the same thing.

So, Iva cures the poisons to ensure Inazuma is out of danger, and then doesn't use the hormones on him. Hence, Inazuma is out of action till the end of the war, and even then doesn't really fight head to head with anyone.

Thanks for the detailed rerun of what happened, but I still feel as if my question is unanswered. 1) It took Luffy more than a day to recover and the speed at which he did was supposedly miraculous. How did they recover so fast? 2) And if you did not need the hormones, why did Luffy had to have them? In the same line, what do you mean by "Iva cures the poisons to ensure Inazuma is out of danger"? I thought the whole curing part involved the healing hormones.

I can only assume it has to do with the amount they were poisoned. It doesn't seem like he used different poisons on each of them, but Luffy was completely drenched in it back when he first fought Magellan. According to Magellan's wiki page, Inazuma  seems to have only fought him for a short time before the Hydra was blocked by Mr. 3's candle walls.

What happened to Hibiya and Hiyori after they broke out of the time loop?
(It's been over four years since I watched Mekaku City Actors and it wasn't the most coherent anime, so please forgive me if I've gotten any details wrong or missed something obvious.)
In the episode "Heat Haze Daze", Hibiya and Hiyori are trapped in an infinite time loop in which Hiyori keeps dying, and Hibiya keeps trying and failing to save her. They finally break out of the time loop (I presume) when

 Hibiya sacrifices himself to save Hiyori's life.

The next time we see them is when Haruka breaks open the back of a van to find them bound and gagged inside. I don't recall there ever being an explanation of how they got there.
What happened to Hibiya and Hiyori between them breaking out of the time loop and Haruka finding them in the van? Who put them there, and why?

In Fate, can a Master summon an Extra Class Servant during a Holy Grail War, or under any circumstances?
In Fate, can a Master summon an Extra Class Servant during a Holy Grail War, or under any circumstances?
For example, one Master summons Jeanne of the Ruler Class, and another Master summons Edmond Dantes of the Avenger Class. Can that happen?

It depends on the grail and it's circumstances. The Fuyuki Grail (tainted) is different from the FGO system which is different from the Apocrypha (untainted) system, and the Strange/fake system (replica) etc.

No one master summons Ruler within the Apocrypha Grail War, they are summoned by the Grail. Dante's is summoned by Goetia under special circumstances for a particular goal of incineration.

If I remember correctly, in the Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night universes, Avenger Angra Mainyu was summoned by the Einzbern in the third Holy Grail War instead of a Berserker. This would imply that it is technically possible to summon an Extra Class Servant during a standard Holy Grail War following the Fuyuki formula.

For the first part of your question the answer for most Masters would be a no. The Fuyuki Holy Grail Wars were built to have one Servant each of the seven standard classes be summoned but since the Einzberns were part of it's creation they can to an extent go "fwahahahha I am the rules" and were able to summon an Avenger/Ruler class instead while Medea's skill at magecraft and older mages generally being far superior to modern ones was able to bend the rules enough to add Sasaki Kojirou albeit by having to bind him to specific location.
The Great Holy Grail War is an extension of this system with two of each standard class being summoned by Masters.
Outside of a Holy Grail War summoning a Servant is nigh on impossible but if achieved would not be bound by class restrictions as demonstrated by the Faker class Servant summoned by Doctor Heartless in Lord El-Melloi II Case Files using an imitation of the Holy Grail.
Fate/Grand Order also demonstrates this as both the Chaldea summoning system and the Grails found within singularities are capable of summoning Extra class Servants just as easily as any other.

No, it was stated that the Einzbern's were only able to summon those extra class servants (avenger Angra or ruler Amakusa) because they were one of the families to create the holy grail war system, so they were able to interfere with the system to allow the ruler and avenger class to be summoned, but only by them who knew how to and had the authority over the system to do so.
Therefore if any other master attempted to summon an extra class servant they would not be able to because of the rules of the holy grail. So no, in a holy grail war, a master can not just summon those extra class servants.

All rules are made to be bent, broken, and superseded
This is kind of the fundamental thrust of the Fate series (or more broadly, the "Nasuverse").  Rules are more like guidelines and suggestions.  Like if we were going to play a game to settle a dispute, and I put everything for Connect Four on a table, but you were like "first one to toss a token onto their head wins!"  The suggestion was that we play Connect Four, but you took what was available and made it into what you could.
The Holy grail war has a system of rules and functions that it ideally operates by, but every war becomes about who can manipulate and break the rules the best.  In Fate/Zero, Melloi splits the command seals and energy burden between himself and his wife, respectively.  In the third war the Einzberns manipulate the system to summon an Avenger, thinking it'll assure them victory (in the alternate timeline of Apocrypha, they summon a Ruler instead). In the same war another team uses their special rule-breaking crest to basically have two masters with their own copy of a servant. In Fate/Stay Night Caster exploits the system to become a master herself, create a fake Assassin that defied the normal rules for an Assassin, and to spawn camp the lesser grail. She even has a Noble Phantasm called "Rule Breaker" that pretty much does exactly what it says.  A reality marble, like Unlimited Blade Works, explicitly involves the user rejecting reality and substituting their own. In Fate/Apocrypha the multi-team grail war is activated by Clock Tower members after they infiltrate the base of those who had stolen the Greater Grail; it wouldn't normally have happened.  Heck, even the existence of the Greater Grail, and its true purpose, was originally only meant to be known to the three houses that developed the idea, with every other participant intended to be under-informed schmucks that were supposed to be easily dispatched because they didn't have the advantages of the Makiris, Tohsakas, and Einzberns.
Even the combat system devolves into who can break the rules better.  An unstoppable projectile meets an impenetrable shield...what happens?  Well, that can literally happen in this setting, and there's an answer to it, and it mostly depends on the level of their divine mysteries and their compatibility.  If this shield specifically did, or was crafted to, stop the unstoppable projectile in question in myth, then it'll easily do so here.  If the user of the projectile was cursed to have his attack blocked by someone of a certain lineage, then if the shield's user is of that lineage then it will win (the shield might not even need to be otherwise "impenetrable"). But a barely known shield on a minor hero with no relation to the well-known attacker with a well-known spear will be shot through (weak mystery vs strong mystery).  In Fate/Stay night this exact situation occurs in one route, resulting in a near draw (but advantage to the attacker). In Apocrypha we see that the nigh-total immunity of Siegfried can be punched through by attacks with sufficient divine mystery relative to that of his own protection, and attacks by heroes or weapons with a legend specifically for slaying dragons will be highly effective against him. Several of the main characters of Apocrypha are in fact intrinsically warping and defying the rules, both of the Grail War and basically existence itself.
So, sure, all sorts of things could be summoned, provided the Masters and others involved are sufficiently skilled and clever enough to manipulate and break things in the right way to make it happen.  And in Apocrypha there are in fact multiple Extra Class servants active at once.

Why Akatsuki Kojou almost always use Regulus Aurum familiar for attacking?
Akatsuki Kojou has 12 familiars. All of them werent available at first and he started to unlock them one by one, and even though Regulus Aurum was the first familiar he unlocked, he uses it once and again much more than the other familiars he unlocked later. Why is this so? Is it more handy, is it specially powerful or what?

IIRC some of the later ones were rather specific in their use. Regulus Aurum is the hammer to everyone's nail.

Can I do a Tiger Shoot like Hyuga Kojiro from anime Captain Tsubasa
What if I train myself during a storm on the beach and kick the ball as hard as I can. Can I master tiger shoot and the ball shines?

Not familiar with the anime/manga but I looked up this particular move in the Internet. Based on the way the move was 'invented', I think this question might possibly lead to opinion-based answers.

This question might not be for this SE. Not sure, may be sports. I've seen the anime, and I played soccer thousands of times, no you can't. What they do in captain tsubasa is mostly fantasy

As the question currently stands, it is unclear what you are asking, because we do not know which version of the Tiger Shoot you mean. Do you mean the one from the original manga, the first anime, the Super Famicom game, the Playstation 2 game, the present animated series or something else? Also, by shine, do you mean like a glint or a fiery aura? However, I opine the question is otherwise on-topic. It is anime related, and it is possible to corroborate this answer using facts and references. Concretely, people have tried to recreate at least some of the shots.

I also would very much advice that you do not go out during a large scale typhoon. This would be a significant health hazard.

Do you mean to shoot a ball exactly like the animation of Tiger Shoot or just the power and speed?

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is not within the scope of anime or manga as defined in this meta post: https://anime.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/668/is-it-ever-acceptable-to-ask-about-whether-an-anime-event-is-realistic-or-plausi

No, you can't set a ball on fire or encrust the ball in a wall like Kojiro does with the Tiger shoot. No man has the strenght to do it and if they would the ball would break apart first.

Is there any indication that Gon will get his nen back?
If he can't that essentially renders the main character useless right. Also if he gets his nen back do you think he'll get a different type since he came back from almost being dead. Is there any chance he'll get a different nen nature.

Still reading the current arc and from until the chapter I've read, no indication whatsoever. Regarding the follow-up questions, they seem to be primarily opinion-based and is asking for speculations of a future event, which are not allowed here so an edit might be needed.

No.
There have been no blatant indications in the manga or anime to show that he will get his Nen back.
In most other shonen manga's you would expect a protagonist who loses their powers to eventually regain them stronger or in a different way.  This is best seen in Bleach where Ichigo and his allies does this many times. As Hunter x Hunter frequently is designed to subvert expectations, however, there is no reason to presume Gon will get his powers back.

Mountain Tribesmen in Hi Shin Tai
In the manga Kingdom, several mountain tribesmen appeared as members of the Hi Shin Tai (飛信隊) during the battle against Gen Bou's (玄峰) army. These tribesmen had excellent hearing, which helped their unit escape the smokescreen trap of their enemy.
At this point the Hi Shin Tai was a "temporary" 1,000-member unit, so they must have joined Shin (信) sometime when they were just a 100-member unit. But was it shown or explained somewhere (what Chapter)? Were they from the same tribe as Yo Tan Wa (楊端和)?
Thanks for your time.

Final trigger that ended the Age of Gods(FS/N), World binding anchors beside Rhongomyniad
So I am helping with providing ideas and checking for plotholes on FFN. The writer I am helping is planning on reintorducing the Age of Gods during the 5th Grail War so I need to know the original trigger that led to the end of the first one. I know that the barrier that seperates the Reverse side of the world where the gods/divine spirits and the general more OP beings of the Fate series reside is being maintained due to the exsistence of the real Rhongomyniad as a pillar of light that acts like an Anchor. Also are there any other anchors beside Rhongomyniad, if yes than what are they?

so I need to know the original trigger that led to the end of the first one

As indicated on the wikia under World > History > Age of Gods the transition of the Age of Gods (genesis) to the Age of Man (0AD) came in 3 phases

Deterioration

the Umbral Star passed by Earth allowing Sefar to invade in 12,000 BC, killing most sentient life, a large number of gods and plundering the vast majority of data from the Moon Cell

Separation

the weakened gods tried to create a link between them and humans by creating Gilgamesh, who ultimately rebelled and encouraged the complete separation of the gods and the humans
the gods ended up loosing their powers and became Divine Spirits
the decline of Mystery (which is how the world operated back then) is attributed to the demise of the King of Magic, Solomon

Trigger

in 700 BC, there is some unknown Trigger that caused the end of the Age of Gods (this has yet to be revealed)

so while the trigger to the very end of the age is not yet know it was probably some event which accelerated the age's end, however we can point to the fact that the Gods lost alot of power in the world after Sefar's invasion which lead to their downfall.
the page also lists an Age of Fairies which looks to be in between the Age of Gods and Age of Man but there is little information on this aside from the fact it has already ended, however given it's position between the 2 on the World page we might have a hint on when the Age of Fairies on the Rhongomyniad page

Being the "king" that stood at the final moments of illusion and the Age of Gods, King Arthur possesses this Holy Lance that conceals such a tremendous power.

given that Vivian (the Lady of the Lake who gave Arthur/Arturia Excalibur) is a fairy we could speculate that Arthur's/Arturia's rule and legend is during the Age of Fairies

Also are there any other anchors beside Rhongomyniad, if yes than what are they?

according to the wikia page on the Reverse Side of the World there may be

Rhongomyniad is one of the "anchors" that fasten the planet together to ensure that the world of humans on the outermost layer of the world can't be destroyed by those on the Reverse Side who wish to reenact the Age of Gods.

Source: Reverse Side of the World (2nd Paragraph)
the use of the wording one of the "anchors" suggests to be there are more. however currently we don't know what the other anchors are or what form they take (or even if they are wielded in the world like Rhongomyniad with Arthur/Arturia and Grey)

in regards to possible anchors, i would not be surprised if down the road Ea is revealed to be an Anchor given the name of it's attack Enuma Elish: The Star of Creation that Split Heaven and Earth

Yeah, heaven is used to mention the Reverse Side of the World at times.

For what it's worth, 700 B.C. is about the time that the Etruscans rise to supremacy, who would later go on to be (integrated by) the Romans. These would displace Grecian theology with the (similar) Roman theology, and would rapidly advance technologically. Of course this "trigger" might not have been something as metaphysical as society turning away from the old gods and towards technology over magic, but it seems a nice thought at least.

Corrupted Grail Fragments inside Sakura, and Illya's heart
Do the corrupted Grail fragments that Zokuen synthesised with his worms which were later placed in Sakura have a direct connection with Angra Mainyu inside the Grail? I know the fragments are the remnants of the Lesser Grail of the 4th HGW and are corrupted because Angra used the Lesser Grail to activate the Greater Grail and unleash his curses but can he control the fraagments after they were implanted inside the worms? And what about Illya's heart which is the Lesser Grail of the 5th war?

Do the corrupted Grail fragments that Zokuen synthesised with his worms which were later placed in Sakura have a direct connection with Angra Mainyu inside the Grail?

yes, in the Visual Novel close to the end

 after Sakura realizes the love Rin has for her she starts trying to resist. when Shirou arrives after defeating Alter Saber he finds the "ribbons" that make up Dark Sakura's dress are now being used to wrap her up and restrain herr. since at this point Dark Sakura has already pruged all of Zouken's worm from her body the only force that could do this is Angra Mainyu, further enforced by the fact that they dispelled when Shirou stabbed Sakura with the traced Rule Breaker, severing the contract between her and Angra Mainyu

however she probably need to submit to Angra Mainyu as

 Dark Sakura doesn't appear until after she kills Shinji (to tried to rape and blackmail her) and realizes she was The Shadow

and up to then she didn't even want to fight in the war
however this is only the case because Sakura is a Master. in Fate and Unlimited Blade Works, as she gives it up to Shinji and in both cases Rider is considered defeated without Sakura's identity as her True Master being revealed one can assume that she had fully given up being a Master in these 2 routes while in Heaven's Feel she hadn't and it's only in this route does the Shadow appear. also during the period between the 4th and 5th wars Angra Mainyu didn't do anything with Sakura.

And what about Illya's heart which is the Lesser Grail of the 5th war?

supposedly uncorrupted. given that the main source of the corruption is the Greater Grail and the Einzbern knew of it's state (as it was Ilya who revealed Angra Mainyu's existence to Rin and Shirou) it would not be hard for them to create an uncorrupted lesser grail, however this would not stop them connecting to the corrupted Greater Grail as Irisviel's lesser grail connected to it, so i'm not sure how the Einzberns planned to get around Angra Mainyu to get the 3rd Magic (or maybe they would just accept the destruction because all they care about is reclaiming it)

Angra used the Lesser Grail to activate the Greater Grail and unleash his curses

actually he didn't. if he could his wish to be born could have been done without anyone getting in the way, but while he is not manipulating Kotomine he did need him to wish for his birth, and by his own will Kotomine wants Angra Mainyu to be born.
just like in Fate and Unlimited Blade Works, the connection between the lesser grail and greater grail is the reason for the black mud to be spilling out and in Fate/Zero the fire caused by the spilled contents is hinted to be because Kotomine, before dying, wished for humanity to die aswell

In Kirei's last moments, the Holy Grail appears to him in his mind. Filled with hatred and envy for Kiritsugu, Kirei reaches out and touches the cursed artifact. He prays for an end to humanity before his death and his wish is granted in the form of the fire.

What happened to Fugo in Episode 18 8:35?
In Episode 18 at 8:35, while Giorno and Mista were going to Venice, Fugo was in the car at first but then he isn't after the flashback? I reread this part in the manga but Fugo just seems to suddenly disappear there too. What happened to him? Did he split up somewhere to go with Bruno, Narancia, and Trish (I feel like I remember this to be the case...)? If so, could somebody provide the manga chapter and page where that happens?

Nope, there seems to be no explanation in the manga either, given the same thing happens.  After the conclusion of Giorno vs Baby Face, both mention they are 1-2 hours from Venice. In the next chapter, they have arrived at the bridge leading directly to Venice, which then we can infer that a few hours have passed.

Note that previously, the entire team went in one car.  Bucciarati, Abbachio, Trish, and Narancia are inside Coco Jumbo, and Fugo, Mista, and Giorno are sitting in the car with the turtle. The next chapter doesn't show Fugo OR the turtle, so it's safe to assume that within that two hour frame they had gotten off at some point.

Can Freezer 4th form defeat SSJ2 Cabba?
In the tournament of power, when Freezer faced Cabba, Cabba turned into SSJ2 and Freezer who was in 4th form transformed into Golden Freezer and defeated Cabba SSJ2 easily. I thought Freezer 4th form was strong enough to defeat Cabba SSJ2 but him transforming into Golden Freezer make it dubious. Can Freezer 4th form defeat SSJ2 Cabba?

 No. If you recall, Back in the ROF arc, Base Goku was easily overwhelming Final Form Frieza. Since the Golden Frieza multiplier is > Super Saiyan Blue, Frieza had the advantage. Frieza stated that he mastered the transformation and stopped the stamina issue with the Golden Form before the T.O.P. He never necessarily had an opportunity to train. The Universe 6 Saiyans are very comparable to the Universe 7 Saiyans. Cabba was capable of holding his own against a Base Vegeta in his Base form. Even in Case of Caulifla, she was holding her own against SSJ, SSJ2 Goku etc. While the latter is stronger, Cabba isn't far off. Since SSJ2 is 100 * Cabba Base, Final form Frieza wouldn't stand a chance(This is because of how strong base Cabba is). Hence, he had to turn Golden to quickly finish the fight.

That part of the series is very hard to make sense. I always thought Goku was using god ki there and having a power similar to super saiyan god, though it was never stated , also Vegeta who deflected a blast from Golden Freezer in "base" form, also,  because if you remember, before, 1st form Freezer defeated SSJ Gohan, and we know 1st form Freezer is 120 times weaker than 4th form Freezer.

@Pablo Before the anime, in the movie, everybody assumed that Goku was using a "Godlike Saiyan" transformation against Frieza. This isn't canon in case of the main series. Goku had just become insanely strong in his base form. Gohan was supposed to be extremely weak at this point in time(For example A base Vegeta 2 arcs later was strong enough to beat up SSJ3 Gotenks). Hence, SSJ Gohan here was easily overwhelmed. Also, Frieza was clearly holding back the Ki Blast as he used it against Krillin and didn't expect Vegeta to react at that Speed. That is why he was able to deflect it.

@Pablo Also, the main trait with regard to God Ki is that it cannot be sensed. It was only after Goku turned into Super Saiyan Blue, everybody mentioned that Goku's ki could no longer be felt. So that was basically a Base Goku who had become very strong after learning how to use God Ki and going through Whis's difficult training. SSJ Gohan at that point was very weak and rusty and extremely weaker than Base Goku.

Is there anyone can proof that Mael have used "THE ONE" form in the 3000 years ago?
I wonder how many PL he could reach when he activate that form.

It might help future answerers to connect the dot by explaining some background/relevant links to this, that "The One" form is a form of Sunshine that Escanor has shown, and the power was previously given to Mael 3000 years ago.

It's seems like the info is still unknown for Mael right?  well gonna wait for it...

What did Pegasus do with his left eye after the Millennium Eye was removed?
Maximilian Pegasus (Pegasus J. Crawford in Japanese) had the Millennium Eye in his left eye at the start of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series.

It was later removed by Bakura, and in later appearances like in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, his left eye is always covered by his hair.

What did he do with his left eye? Did he use a glass eye? An eye patch? Leave the eye socket empty?
I'd prefer an answer from the anime, but am open to a manga answer as well.

I did some research, and while I could not find an answer for the anime, I discovered the answers for the anime and manga would be very different. Removing Millennium Eye ending up killing Pegasus in the manga

@Wondercricket It doesn’t really answer my question about what a living Pegasus did with his left eye, so I wouldn’t accept that as a stand-alone answer, but that’s interesting to know.

There are many things in the manga, that the anime either doesn't show or changes. Those who have read the manga know that Pegasus died after his millennium eye was removed by Bakura. However in the anime, Pegasus survives and he continues to live, going as far as making an appearance in the GX arc.
The Pyramid of Light novel, written by Junki Takegami, gives us a better insight on how Pegasus feels about the loss of his millennium eye. This happens when Kaiba shows up to ask Pegasus about cards that are capable of defeating the god cards. However Pegasus refuses to give Kaiba such a card and tries to lecture and warn Kaiba.
Pegasus- “A befitting heart is needed to handle power. Power without heart gives birth to tragedy.” Pegasus stroked his fair
hair up without the slightest hesitation and showed the hidden half of his face to Kaiba.
“Guh...” Kaiba took a gasp. The gaping opening in his eye socket was an unsightly reminder of where one of the
Millennium Items, the Millennium Eye, had once fit into.
“I first went in hunt for the Millennium Items with desires of meeting my lost lover. It was an act of folly brought on by
my innocence which was shameful even to me. Before long, controlled by the Millennium Eye, I sought dark
powers. It was no doubt on part of my feeble spirit. Therefore, to serve as a lesson to myself, I won’t put in an
artificial eye or hide this unsightly scar.” Pegasus smiled self-mockingly. “This is what those who abuse power
eventually look like in the end. Kaiba-boy, you want only power...and that is extremely dangerous.”
I also want to point out that the novel gives us a more detailed backstory of Anubis. It fits very well with the cannon story because in the novel, Anubis never met Atem or fought him. Aknadin wanted to ensure that his son Seto, becomes a king no matter what. Which is why he resorted to using another spell from the book that helped him create the millennium items,and created the Pyramid of light to counter the power of the millennium puzzle. During the ritual, he sacrificed one of his servants by turning him into a mummy. Aknadin replaced the brain, hearth and eyes of his servant with the ones of a jackal. That servant was Anubis, who was sacrificed against his will. Which is why Anubis wanted to kill both the Pharaoh and the reincarnation of the priest Seto. To exact revenge on Aknadin for turning him into a mummy, and become the king of destruction by defeating Atem. The story of the novel makes much more sense than the movie. In the movie, Anubis claims that he fought Atem back when he became a Pharaoh. This statement contradicts the cannon story because the day Atem became a pharaoh, was also the day he had to fight thief Bakura and in the following days, confront Zork. Atem died by sealing Zork away in the millenium ring while he sealed his soul in the millenium puzzle. There was simply no time for Atem and Anubis to confront each other back then. In any event. I hope you find what I shared useful and fun.

Roshi is over 300 years old because he used Dragon Balls, but how is Master Shen still alive?
Roshi and Master Shen (Crane) were rivals while growing up. But why did Crane not die of old age?

A major thing to keep in mind is that Roshi is an unreliable narrator (and his turtle isn't terribly smart by human standards). He routinely lies and twists half-truths to help people get through something tough, motivate his students to work harder, or get something he wants that he thinks people otherwise might not give him. It's a generally benign sort of thing, serving his mostly comedic perversions or serving some sort of "greater good".
As Gary mentions, in the original series there is mention of an Elixir of immortality/Fountain of Youth, and Roshi at one point tries to console Tien by pointing out that he (Roshi) is immortal, so there's nothing to really worry about.  This was another lie or half-truth, though, as Tien was soon knocked out and Roshi was killed by the strain of the technique he used to try to save the day. So, as indicated, he twisted the truth, or outright lied, to help someone out. Most people at this point presumed that in fact the elixir/fountain only stopped him from dying of old age (and possibly other natural causes), but suicide/exhaustion/getting eaten/laser beams to the face/etc. would still be lethal in the usual fashion.
In Super, Roshi sends Goku and Krillin out to fetch some paradise herb in exchange for teaching them a super secret technique.  The technique was a half-truth, though. It was meant to motivate them to do the quest, and thereby help Goku increase his control of his energy and for Krillin to overcome his (very justified) fears. So they were taught something useful for combat, but not really a "technique" (and certainly not one of Roshi's martial arts techniques). He had also stated that eating the herb would increase his lifespan by another thousand years.  Whether that was another lie, or a bit of dramatic license, or not...we don't know.  But it stands as the current best explanation for Roshi's long life.  Presumably, Master Shen and his brother also partook of this herb.
Alternative options do exist, however.  Demon King Piccolo used the dragon balls to acquire Eternal Youth, which was inherited by Piccolo. This prevented Piccolo from aging once he hit his physical prime (a mere 4 years later), but neither of them had true immortality and could be killed by means other than aging. Conceivably Roshi, Shen, and others may also have made such a wish at some point.
A standard martial arts trope is the long-lived master, where their supreme skill and spiritual development gives them an unnaturally long lifespan; this may even be a specific "technique/skill" of theirs. Such a technique may have been found by Roshi/Shen/General Tao/Baba and used amongst them, only they found it later in life and it does not revert your body to an age before you acquired it. Part of Roshi's character is how he at once serves this role of a transcendent master of martial arts while also being a perverted, lazy, goofball.
And there's the fact that if he is in fact several hundred years old, then he may have gone through a lot of stuff, and the reason he has lived so long is buried somewhere in all of those adventures, possibly stretched across several of them in a complex fashion, and he may not even remember them all. After all, he once had true immortality by owning a Phoenix (which ironically died, and the immortality was lost). Which is to say there's plenty of story telling room to "retcon" the reason for his long life and insert some new justification(s) later.  All of which serves the handy purpose of making others distrusting of his claims, and difficult for others to achieve what he has (which could be dangerous to the world, as well as those attempting the feat).

I think this is a good answer but one point I disagree with. I don't think Master Roshi used the dragonballs ever before as he had no idea the dragonballs could be used for wishes at the start of dragonball when he meets Goku

@EricF That could just fall under the unreliable narrator thing.  He could be playing dumb. Or have forgotten things that have happened over such a long life. Or he really might not have ever seen or heard of them before that moment. The answer is part conjectural as Roshi's character and backstory are left a bit murky by his tendency to fabricate things, change up stories, and on occasion act like an addled old man.

Fair enough. I agree and wish we could see more of his back story. The most we got was the Fan Fan episode really

This is a mistake which was overlooked and never addressed in the series. It was initially assumed that they drank the Elixer of immortality from the Fountain of Youth. However, Roshi later claims this doesn't really exist. So yes! There is no logical reason explaining why the Crane Hermit is as old as he is.

It is important to remember that Immortality doesnt always= unkillable it often means you wont die from age sometimes refered to as agelessness. In roshis case this is the most likely senario from one of the above mentioned possible sources of said immortality

How strong was the Genki Dama Goku made to defeat Jiren?
Goku tried to defeat Jiren with a Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken x20 and he failed. Then he decided to use his best technique, the Genki Dama to defeat him. One would think the Genki Dama had to be stronger than the Super Saiyan Blue kaioken x20, but in other hand, where did he get the energy from? They were surrounded by void, and the only powerfull warriors we see giving power to Goku are Freezer,17,Gohan and in a lesser level Piccolo and 18 (Krilin, Tien and Roshi contribution would be minimal).
How strong was the Genki Dama Goku made to defeat Jiren?

Honestly, we can't really gauge how strong it is because we don't exactly know how much energy these fighters contribute to the spirit bomb. In the sense, none of the fighters were tired or out of energy after contributing to the Spirit Bomb. Plus, it was essentially missing the energy of Universe 7's 2 strongest fighters "Goku and Vegeta". Logically, it doesn't make sense for the Spirit Bomb to be stronger than Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken Goku as the Spirit Bomb would have to be at a Universal Level if that were the case and the only fighter who contributed sufficient energy to be categorized at a universal level, would be Frieza(Yet, he was in his final form which isn't universal). If you were to consider the SSJG Goku from the Battle of Gods arc at a universal level, you could essentially consider Gohan at his full power to be around that level however, even he wasn't in his Ultimate form when he contributed energy.So essentially, I believe the theme of the attack was more or less on the lines of, "Since I cannot defeat you myself, this is a combined attack from the whole of Universe 7". For the sake of plot, they made the attack look extremely powerful as even the Gods of Destruction of every universe was astonished with this level of power. Although I personally disagree with this line and feel it logically doesn't make sense, as far as the show goes, Whis makes a statement that Kefla's might as a Super Saiyan, rivalled the spirit bomb. Kefla as a Super Saiyan was around the same level as Super Saiyan Blue Goku. Hence, based on that, the spirit bomb should be around that level of power.

lol, I was about to make another question about that line. That would prove Kefla is stronger than Vegeta Super Saiyan Blue Evolution and Toppo. I think not only the Genki Dama proves that, but also the fact that she was able to knock Goku Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken, when she wasnt even in her super saiyan 2 form

BTW, she was about the same level than super saiyan blue kaioken, which is quite more powerful than super saiyan blue alone. Perhaps Goku got stronger after being re-energyzed by Freezer, kinda like a senkai boost. So the Goku super saiyan blue kaiokenx20 against Kefla would be stronger than the one he used against Jiren

@Pablo Actually, Kefla isn't stronger than Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken. Champa constantly repeats the fact that Goku was very exhausted and Kaioken strains the body severely. Goku's was just too tired to put up a fight and eventually fainted because of the surprise kick. An exhausted SSJB Goku was very relative to SSJ Kefla.

@Pablo I wouldn't say Kefla is stronger than SSJB+ Kaioken * 20 Goku or SSBE Vegeta and G.O.D Toppo. If her SSJ was relative to an exhausted SSJB Goku/ SSJ2 is 2 times SSJ and even if you factor in the rage boost etc, she'd have to be several times > than the SSJ3 multiplier to even remotely come close to SSJB+KK*20 Goku and SSBE Vegeta and G.O.D Toppo compare to this level of power. I think most people tend to overlook the fact that Goku was completely drained out before this fight which is one of the reason Kefla had the upperhand.

Why doesn't Pain use other paths when his bodies are killed?
During the Naruto vs Pain fight (before Edo Tensei), he has 6 bodies that he controls via Chakra and each body has the power of one path.
When Naruto kills anyone of them, it's stated that he loses usage to that particular power of path until he has another body for that.
My doubt is that since its just bodies controlled by chakra, why doesn't he use the remaining pain to use all the paths?
For example, if the summoning path dies, Why can't he use that path through the Yahiko pain or some other pain?

I don't know for sure but my guess is that Kishimoto did that on purpose because if he didn't Naruto wouldn't have a chance against Pain, so basically it's just his way of making Pain NOT perfect leaving the others with a possibility of revealing his secret(weakness) and getting a chance to fight back (since naruto must win at the end).

Similar to how Might Guy was on a mission, ("conveniently") when Pain attacked.

Pain is supposed to have implanted these abilities in the corpses, so he supposedly implanted one in a each of the pain only, probably because of the limit of power of someone not from the uzumaki clan or having those kind of abilities. Their chakra system could be fried and then he wouldn't be able to use 'em

Differences between the Battle Angel: Alita manga and anime and the Alita: Battle Angel Live action
I've watched the Alita Battle Angel Live Action, and though I couldnt watch most of the anime yet it doesnt seem to be exactly the same story. For example, I believe in the manga she was named Alita after the doctor deceased cat and in the Live Action she's named so after his deceased daughter. Are there many differences like this? Which are the differences between the Battle Angel: Alita manga and anime and the Alita: Battle Angel Live action?

Does Mob have an automatic/unconscious psychic protection?
IIRC in season 1, when he was fighting other psychics, once he was hit someone said he has something like an automatic or unconscious psychic protection that's why he can't get hurt easily even if he's catched offguard. But in season 2 when running he falls and he has his knee bleading and his face bruised. Does Mob have an automatic/unconscious psychic protection?

If you're referring to when Mob was running during the race and fell. He didn't want to use psychic powers to win the race, he most likely just turned it off.

The answer is NO to create psychic protection one has to use a strong active mind to create a barrier.
Each time Mob battle with other psychic he give more preference to his defensive power which involve it's barrier as his main attack/move.
While in Annual Marathon Race Mob decide to finish the race in top 10 without using his psychic power and later he will confront his feeling to Takane Tsubomi.
This are the dialogue that were exchanged in the presence of Mob, Dimple and Mezato-san (the reporter girl).

Is Kid Buu twice as strong as Super Buu?
I was watching the fight between Goku and Kid Buu in English, and in a moment Goku says Kid Buu is "twice as powerful as he was before". Is this something of the dub or is this a literal japanese translation? Is Kid Buu twice as strong as Super Buu?

"Darn you, where's your weak point? You're twice as strong as you were before. Your speed, your power"I am assuming this is the line you are talking about. Technically this could be considered filler as Goku fights Kid Buu using only Super Saiyan 3 in the manga and never turns Super Saiyan 2.
Also, this line would be with reference to the fat Majin Buu who Goku fought and not Super Buu as there is sufficient evidence to establish the fact that Super Buu is stronger than Kid Buu.

Why did Violet's eyes constrict when Major Gilbert was shot?
On the episode in violet evergarden, where Major Gilbert was shown to be shot, Violet's eyes constricted in response. However,  in such a situation,  the sympathetic nervous system should have caused a dilation of the pupillary size instead in response to imminent danger. This is known as the fight or flight response. However, Violet's pupils are seen to be constricting instead. This goes against basic biology.

so in anime biology pupils constrict in stress situations and dilate in relaxing situations, interesting observation

I agree. Anime pupils can apparently show a lot of things, in a weird but cool way. Ya learn something new every day, as they say!

It's kinda an anime thing...they make the pupil and sometimes even the iris smaller to show that the character is shocked. In anime the eyes are generally bright and big, so I'd guess the motivation here is that dull eyes with more "white" appear more unusual and sinister, probably.
Examples:

The person who raised her and was her commanding officer and someone she cared about was shot, which made her, I think, angry and shocked. Also, many anime(s) do this.

Did Goku actually die near end of Frieza saga? Plothole?
So I am going through and rewatching Dragonball Z with my wife and noticed something.  When Goku is fighting Freiza as a SSJ, he gets sent into lava during the process of King Kai's wish for bringing back everyone that "Frieza and his henchmen killed".
So my first question is:
Did Goku die in this moment? Seems that the events went as follows:

King Kai starts wish
Goku goes into lava and dies.
Goku is brought back to life from King Kai's wish
Goku is much more powerful and full of energy (finally having the edge over Freiza vs before these events when it was a pretty much stalemate)

This makes me think that yes Goku died but then this reveals a plot hole as the wish was made with the earth dragonballs which were stated many times to not be able to revive someone already revived from them before. Well Goku was revived for the Vegeta / Nappa arc already. Plot hole?
Second question:
After Namek blows up it is said by King Kai if someone were to be wished back they would appear wherever they died and basically making it so Goku can't be wished back since Namek is gone but later Vegeta states they can wish someone back to the Earth's check-in station and then wished back to life.
So they do they following 3 wishes:

Ask for Krillin to be wished to the Earth's check-in station
Wish Krillin back to life. Seems to work based on rules.
Wish Yamcha back to life. He doesn't have to be wished to the check-in station as well?

Is this because Yamcha was in a "safe place"? Why did't they need two wishes like they did with Krillin?
FYI, even though I know many documented plot holes exist, and I could very well be wrong with my logic above, I enjoy learning things that I may have missed and having the discussion at least

This is 2 distinct questions

@SamIam Questions are in bold. How can I be more clear? On other SE sites, asking 2 questions are permitted. Is this not true here?

To answer your first question, Goku never dies in the Frieza SagaThis issue is  mainly because of a few changes in the anime from the original manga. In the manga basically, Freeza rushes Goku suddenly and knocks him into the ocean(there is no lava) and during the interval of all this happening, Shenron is called to grant the wishes and Goku meanwhile resurfaces and resumes fighting Frieza. In the anime, they did make a few changes and I believe it is only out of sheer coincidence Goku emerged out of the lava when the wish was made. Plus this is technically filler and Goku never dies in the Frieza Saga and even if he did, he cannot be revived as he was already revived when he was killed during his fight with Raditz at the start of the Saiyan saga.With regard to your second question, Krillin died on Namek while Yamcha died on earth.So these aren't necessarily plot holes.

So since Yamcha's place of death was Earth, upon resurrection he would appear where he died on earth (a tad off in location from his actual death spot but close enough) whereas Krillin needed to move first. Makes sense. Thanks!

@EricF Well someone isn't necessarily resurrected to the precise location they died(Meaning, not the precise latitude/longitude of a specific location). That is solely dependent on a bunch of factors of the shoe. But yes! A person seems to get resurrected on the planet he died on which is why, Vegeta comes back to life on Namek and since Krillin died on Namek and the planet exploded, they had to make the wish accordingly.

Do all ki warriors need to power up?
Time and again beginning with the later dragonball episodes and lkater dbz, dbzsuper,...) we see ki warriors power up before they unleash their true powers / strongest attacks.
Now I'm wondering though...as it seems powerup was only introduced later on when ki sensing and ki suppression was introduced: Do ALL ki warriors need to power up to unleash their strongest attacks / full power? Or is it only necesary when you suppress your power level to power up first?

The answer to this question would be a Yes in terms of Dragon Ball Z and a  Yes & No in terms of Dragon Ball Super. Ki (気 "Kee", lit. "Spirit"), also known as chi/qi, Yōki (妖気)[1] or simply energy (エネルギー enerugī), is the life force energy used by Dragon Ball characters. SourceSo as per the definition, it would make sense that the more Ki/ energy is released, the more powerful a fighter is or the more powerful their attack is. For example, if there is a beam struggle between two fighters, the fighter who raises his energy/ki more comes out on top. The greater the amount of energy released by a warrior, the greater is the level of power. So yes! Realistically, any character would have to release their ki to maximum to release a powerful attack. The reason I said Yes & No in terms of Dragon Ball Super is because we see a bit of contradiction to the traditional Dragon Ball Z on account of the introduction of God Ki. God Ki involves high-level ki control where the user is not allowed to have Ki leak out of their body so that the opponent cannot sense their level of strength. In the Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue form, it isn't possible to directly sense the ki of the fighter. However, an experienced fighter is capable of gauging the opponent's strength and the form tends to exert immense pressure on whoever is fighting against it. The reason I say Yes and No is because, while this notion of God Ki is present, the old traditional concept I explained earlier still exists even in the case of the God forms. For instance, when Goku has a beam struggle with Merged Zamasu, he powers up more to overpower his attack, the same applies to when Goku is angry with regard to Chi Chi's and Goten's death. All of this is in their Super Saiyan Blue forms. Similarly, in the tournament of power, we see Goku power up completely and releases all his ki in Episode 122 before he faces off against Jiren. Vegeta does the same when he powers up his Final Flash against Jiren. So realistically yes, the more ki a fighter has the stronger they are. Naturally, naturally, not all fights require fighters to release all their energy at one go to take on every foe. So yes, based on the opponent and his level of strength, the opposing fighter either powers up or down based by releasing ki.

How/when did Rukia and Renji find out about Ichigo's inner hollow, and did everybody else know around the same the same time too?
How is it that Rukia and Renji knew about Ichigo's inner hollow during the Arrancar arc despite Ichigo not mentioning anything about it to either of them, and how long have they known? I'm also wondering as to who else would have known about it around that time as well (besides the obvious people like Urahara, Yuroichi, and Ichigo's father)?

How did Norman and Emma not get seen?
So, I just watched episode 1 of the Promised Neverland. Looks like a lot of potential.
Question: How did Norman and Emma possibly not get seen as they left the gated area?
You can clearly see, by the position of the characters at timestamp 18:43 in episode 1, that this should have been impossible.
I am trying to watch this and this is minor but I hope it is just a mistake on the animation side and not some sign towards a lack of attention to detail of this manga.

I don't think it's explained anywhere, but I guess you could say they could escape because it was dark and that they went unnoticed while the demons were focusing their attention under the truck, or not alert even.

What does the “5D’s” mean in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s?
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s is the third incarnation of the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise. Having watched the first season (dub), I still have no clue what the 5D’s in the title is supposed to mean.
Was it just something that sounds cool in Japanese? Or is there actually meaning to it?

The 5D's is meant to represent the legendary 5 Dragons (Signer Dragons) that the protagonists (Signers) use in order to fight the antagonists (Dark Signers).
These dragons are:

Stardust Dragon
Red Dragon Archfiend
Black Rose Dragon
Ancient Fairy Dragon
Black-Winged Dragon

 This was what the initial story made to believe anyway, because later on in the series, there is one more protagonist who awakens as a Signer and obtains a Signer Dragon; Leo obtains his after a duel where his life was on the line along with his sister Luna and Jack (both of whom were originally confirmed Signers). The sixth dragon is named Life Stream Dragon

Fun fact: While "5 Dragons" is the correct definition, 4Kids mislabeled it as "5 Duel Scoop"

Why is that woman considerd the woman that Rimuru is destined to be with?
In episode 6, we learn that

Shizu

is the woman Rimuru is destined to be with.  She shows up in the next episode.

She also dies a couple of episodes later, the next day in-universe.  Aside from her showing up in the OP and ED, and being a quest-giver (for Rimuru to be a teacher) several episodes later, she doesn't have much going on in the series.

Why is she considered so important and "Rimuru's destiny"?  Why is she seemingly more important than Veldora, the ogre women, Miliam, etc?

 Why is she more important than any of the other monsters/spirits that Rimuru absorbed?

I'm only familiar with the anime, so if the manga/LN goes that much more in detail about this, then don't spoil it and leave the answer somewhat vague.

I interpreted "destined with her" to mean that their meeting was fated, rather than her being very central to his life. Of course, she did have a large impact on his life too, as the answers mention. Plus, considering how soon she appeared, maybe the prediction was in the short term, and not supposed to be taken as his entire life's destiny.

@earthling gave a good answer into the importance of her role in Rimaru's destiny. Below I want to give the ways in which she was always with him.

Shizu was with Rimaru physically, forever, in his stomach.
Shizu also lived on with him when Rimaru took her physical form.
In a sense, she was also with him through the emotional connection of fulfilling her wishes. It's often said that a person lives on through their legacy and the memory of others. Rimaru fulfilled her wish and legacy of saving the Children. Shizu also lived on with him both in his memory and in Rimaru's journey to finish her quest of confronting Demon Lord Leon Cromwell.

So in many ways, she was always with him and thus was the person he was destined to and ended up being with.

Taken from episode 6-8:

Shizu is the key by which Rimuru comes to know Demon Lord who summons Shizu (probably the main villain) and Rimuru is more or less the hero of this story.
Without Shizu, Rimuru might never know that someone (Demon Lord) can summon people from that world to this world.
Death of Shizu is essential for Rimuru's character development.
There is one promise Rimuru gave to Shizu, and fulfilling that promise will provide a certain path or goal to the story.

This is explained more in the manga.

Please include relevant sources/references.

Anyone who did watch anime should be able to understand my ans , so for reference watch anime episode 6 to 8.

'Anyone who did watch anime should be able to understand my answer' Yes, but this is a Q&A site. Unlike other forums, this site relies on verifiable information. Speculations are allowed but a basis, specifically references, should be given on how and why you were able to arrive on that particular conclusion. There are no exceptions.

For example, '3) Death of Shizu is essential for Rimuru's character Development.' How did you arrive at this conclusion? Why is a character's death essential for someone to develop? People can still develop without someone close to them dying. Same is true for all other answers. Personally, this and the rest of your points needs more evidence and proof.

As W. Are has commented, a correct & sourced answer is far better than just a correct answer without any references (because others can't crosscheck it easily). Also, feel free to use >! (spoiler block) markdown syntax to hide some text if you want, as long as you can expand and improve your answer!

I’m thinking about this. Because, when the imagine of the person destined to his surged, it showed her with the kids, but more specifically it showed Chloe hugging Shizu and the other kids looking. I think Shizu will always a very important part of Rimuru. She was the ignition for him to meet the kids and understand more about the world they are leaving in. I think she and the kids are part of his destiny.
However, I ask myself, is it really Shizu his destiny girl or was it Chloe? Being part of someone's destiny and being their destined partner are two different things. I think all of them are part of his destiny, but Chloe may be his destined woman. Because, when Rimuru and the kids are in labyrinth of the spirits, Chorona kisses Rimuru. We know she is Chloe's spirit from the future. This is my theory.

How can we measure a character's power level in relation to others for the Dragonball Series beyond Frieza?
Due to the scouters from DBZ season 1/Saiyan Saga, everyone always asks about power levels. Now, to actually figure those numbers, there are a few problems, with the first being you really need a point of reference, and after the freiza saga-those references just vanish. Super Saiyan increased the users power 50x(say goku as super saiyan is 15 mil, frieza(100%) 12 mil, some say 18 mil goku, frieza(100%) 15 mil), and if the next super saiyan level was supposed to be a larger increase(as stated on the show), one could assume ss2 = ss ^50..X , or 15 mil x 15 mil x over and over til you get at least 50 iterations. ss3 being an even bigger increase over 2, and so on throughout the transformations.
The 2nd hurdle to overcome, is that some of these fights shown show fighters fighting at lower levels(what a sentence). It's possible for Ultra Instinct to shake your hand without breaking it, or punch you in the face without putting a hole thru it.
The final hurdle, is the special attack nature of some fighters. God Ki, Legendary Ki, UI Ki, all add special factors to the power of a fighter.
I believe the show does a great job overall(even GT was entertaining). The tournament of power is rewatchable in particular. I also believe we can get fighters organized on their strengths into a hierarchy of "who is stronger than who".
Is it better to just organize these fighters by referencing each other rather than figure exact numbers from the same scale?
for example: and yes this is a long example-but it's for a reason!
using
Goku(Frieza) as our reference, power level of 1.
Goku(SS) power of Goku X 50
frieza(100%) is .75 ss goku(both versions agree on this, frieza was roughly 1/4 less than goku)

Android saga
goku = 1
ss goku = goku x 50
android 19 20-much weaker than goku(trunks even said so) tho they did win due to heart disease
an. 19 = goku x 25
an. 20 = goku x 30(assuming he's stronger as dr. gero)
vegeta = goku x .95(a fair number, as he's almost always behind goku)
ss vegeta = vegeta x 50(weaker than goku but still stronger than 19/20)
an. 16 = ss goku x 2.5(he goes up against cell after an android absorption)
an. 17 = ss goku x 1.3(at least this much stronger, 18 destroys vegeta, 17 > 18)
an. 18 = ss goku x 1.1(much stronger than vegeta)
imp cell = ss goku 1.5(strong enough to absorb 17-had to get some humans for this level)
ss trunks = ss goku x .96(safe to say weaker than goku but roughly as strong as vegeta)
kamiccolo = ss goku 1.4(strong enough to take on 18, but not imp cell)

Cell Saga-start
Goku = 1 again
Cell Stage 2 = ss goku 1.5 + ss goku 1.3 = ss goku 2.8(he beats android 16)
Vegeta ASS = ss goku 3.5(ascended is NOT the same as 2, he wants cell to absorb 18 for a better fight.)
Perfect Cell = ss goku 2.8 + ss goku 1.1 = ss goku 3.9 + perfection bonus of doubling power = ss goku 7.8........ vegeta gets stomped
Trunks ASS2 = More than ASS Vegeta but less than perfect cell so ss goku 3.5 + 1.5 upgrade = SS goku 5.0 strong but no where near Cell
Goku as special SS = better fighter than trunks ass2 with less strength, but still no class of cell. ss goku 4.5
Gohan ss = Goku 3.5 ish-because he is a joke to Cell
SS Gohan 2 = stronger than Cell after a Zenkai boost, and since the form multiplies SS... Goku ss 10.0
Cell after Zenkai = 8.0 still nothing to gohan, but gives a good fight

Even if you were to use the figures you've given, you don't really have a good point of reference for how Goku improves over the series.  For how much Goku trains, you can't expect that base Goku when Raditz showed up is just as strong as base Goku during the Tournament of Power.  Hell, Zenkai boosts alone would make a difference (and Goku has quite a few of those by now).

yeah exactly-at each saga you have to change it to the new reference, which I use goku in these instances

The power levels are set in stone up thru freiza tho-so you get an idea of how each saga portrays the opponents and z fighters

After the concept of power levels was dropped, power scaling was done throughout the series by referencing one character to another. This was essentially done by the characters themselves sometimes. In terms of Dragon Ball Super for instance, In the ROF Arc, Frieza tells Goku that based on the power he senses, he should be stronger than Goku which kind of Establishes Golden Frieza is > Super Saiyan Blue Goku. At the start of the fight, Goku tells Frieza that he's gotten stronger but he doesn't need Super Saiyan to fight Final Form Frieza. So at that point in time, Base Goku was > Final Form Frieza. In the tournament of power, for instance, Goku and Vegeta more or less say they have never experienced a level of power as strong with reference to Jiren indicating Jiren is stronger than say, Fused Zamasu or anyone else they fought before that point.The problem with your scaling technique is how exactly would you quantify the difference in power with numbers. For instance, Toriyama at one point said Goku was a 6, Beerus was a 10 and Whis was a 15. This was at the start of the B.O.G arc. Goku Grow substantially stronger however, disregarding Ultra Instinct, he is still completely shadowed by Beerus's level of power. We know this based on the fight between Mastered SSJB Vegeta and Beerus in the manga where the latter one shot's Vegeta without even fighting seriously.The second main problem is characters grow several times stronger(Especially the Saiyans), during the course of the fight. For example, Goku who fights Jiren in Episode 109 is substantially weaker than the Goku who fights Jiren in Episode 122. However, both versions of Goku's were indicated to be vastly superior to Jiren who wasn't even trying. So displaying this difference numerically, wouldn't really make sense.As of now, I believe the characters are scaled by the writers themselves during dialogue between the fighters themselves or in the form of side commentary from another fighter witnessing the fight.

It's impossible because the power levels in Dragon Ball do not make any sense. In the first season, when Goku was still a kid, Muten Roshi destroyed half the moon with a Kamehameha. Later, when Goku was an adult he pointed a Kamehameha at the earth and it was fine.
