5 Centimeters Per Second: What does the ending mean?
In 5 Centimeters Per Second, a boy and a girl get separated, and then try to meet with each other.
In the ending, when they are grown up

 The boy sees the girl as they are crossing the train tracks. They are interrupted by trains. The boy waits for the girl, but when the trains pass, she is gone.

Why is that?

It means they almost got hit by that train. The railroad crossing gates normally close at least 1 minute before any train passes by. lol

I attribute this to what would best be called a "Fleeting moment and feeling". His desire to see the girl again caused him to envision her being there for a moment which is personified by the passing train (another symbol that life moves on). But when it passes, so does his desire and like the train, he decides to move forward with his life.

That's an interesting theory. How can we be sure he imagined her? The girl was getting married, so maybe she just walked away because she was no longer interested in him? I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm just wondering if there are any hints in the anime as to what happened...

I think she was actually going to be moving further away for the better job IIRC. - Not sure but that is one way I look at it.

In an interview of Makoto Shinkai found here, he answers a question regarding the plant at the beginning of Episode 2. Personally, I believed that it was a throwback to Voices of a Distant Star, but it--in a way--answers your question indirectly. To quote:

Takaki, the male character, had dreams of this girl he liked who was
  very far away. In the image they’re both on a distant planet that is
  far away, so he’s dreaming that he’s with her even though she’s in a
  far away place.

When viewing Makoto Shinkai's works, distance always plays a large factor. He treats it with a vague touch. However, Makoto Shinkai always injects the notion that distance(space) and time are intertwined (VoaDS is a perfect example) and that there are events that span them.
At the ending of 5 Centimeters per Second, the girl was obviously a vision, as the distance between them cannot be closed physically anymore and the time lost cannot be reclaimed. The act of forgetting his lost love is a slow process for Takaki (the male protagonist), which is what the title is actually alluding to. The movie is not only one about distance and time, but of the events and the memories associated with them.
Now, the way I relate them all together:
Cherry blossoms are almost only beautiful when they are on trees (when the relationship is intact), and are almost equally as beautiful when they're falling (because memories are almost equally as beautiful as the real thing). However, while memories themselves live on, the reality they used to be gradually differ from how the memories are, much like how falling blossoms slowly become a fragment of the beauty of where they used to be.
The title tells us that each time lost is more distance apart physically and emotionally, and that at the final moment where the cherry blossom cannot cover any distance anymore per unit of time is the moment where the memory is--not actually lost--but stays just that: a memory. In a nutshell, the vision by the railroad is the final moment of their cherry blossom, Takaki's living dream of the girl in the faraway place, before it finally stops moving and reminding him of the relationship that once was.

Just saw this twice and watched the ending carefully and listened to the song, since the last 5 or so minutes of the movie mirrors the lyrics of the song.
Basically here is the lyrics:

I'm always searching for you, searching for your figure.
In the City, at dawn. At Sakuragi-Cho.
Even though I know you can't be there.
If my wish were to come true, I would be at your side.
There would be nothing I couldn't do.
I would risk everything to embrace you.
I'm always searching for you, always searching for even a fragment of you.
At the shop I'm going to, in the corner of a newspaper.
Even though I know you can't be there.
If miracles do happen, I want to show you right now the new dawn, who I'll be from now on,
And the words, "I love you" that I never said.
I always end up looking somewhere for your smile.
At the railroad crossing, waiting for the express to pass. Even though I know you can't be there.

So if you really read it through the lyrics and the fragment of clips and images.
The boy never saw the girl again but was just seeing a hope that maybe he did see her.
If you think about it, they never contact each other for a long time, so the girl didn't even know where the boy could be.
So the boy simply smiled since he didn't see her and finally came to terms with it.
If he did see her there though, he would do everything and tell her everything he never said or did before when they were still together.

This may be a little late but Akari was at the railway crossing. The manga shows a picture of of a girl from behind then a close up of her left hand with a ring on it. After the trains are gone so is she, Takaki smiles and walks off. The next picture is of Akari but the young Akari standing on the other side, she smiles and waves good bye to Takaki who is already further down the road.

Without spoilers, does the manga say much else? The movie left me a bit... unsatasified.

@VaughanHilts : no unfortunately it doesn't expand on the movie ending a lot. You get a lot more detail along the main story line, and some helpful subplots (helpful insofar that they clarify the direction of the movie), but the ending is pretty much as open as in the movie

@Sonny +1 for this answer, would you tell me where did you read the manga of this movie please :) or is there a site where we can still read it

The ending scene can be taken both ways, maybe she was there, or maybe not. For me, I believe she really was there. This may be subtle, but as they passed by each other, both of them (even the girl) seemed to notice each other. However, when they look back, as the gods of love like to interfere, a train appeared.
As the train is passing by, Akari went ahead. I think it symbolizes that she had already moved on for a long time. However, the main character clearly still had lingering feelings for her, as seen in episode 2 and 3. He did not only look back, but he also waited for the train to pass. He even turned around and took his hands out of his pocket. However, when the train passed by, the woman was nowhere to be found. He took it as a sign to finally moved on, and as he was smiling, he turned away. If I remember correctly, he was sad in episode 2, and even more depressed in episode 3: he even tried to slept with other woman, and he even quit his job to forget the girl.
We don't know for sure who first stopped writing letter, but I think it was the boy. This can be seen in the scenes where they exchanged letters, though I don't think it means that the boy stopped liking her — as seen in the ending, he truly loves her. Maybe it was due to some other reason, like change of address, undelivered letter, or something we would never know. But we can see that even though they don't receive letters from each other, they still looked at the mailbox - both of them. Even when the girl was walking with another guy, she still looked at the mailbox.
Anyways, no matter how anyone views it. The movie was a masterpiece.
By the way, I remember reading an interview with the writer/director of the movie where he said that the theme for 5cm/sec was "reality" - it isn't always a happy ending in real life, most of the time love fails. (Sorry, but I don't have a source for this).

might be he could no longer bare the pain of separation and so he stopped writing to avoid being reminded of it

The song if translated say that he sees a figment of his imagination and This is show as he is riding his scooter and he sees Akari. But at the railway he sees her for real and I believe that, that is what they promised each other all those years ago; they promised each other to see the cherry blossoms fall and as it just so happens the cherry blossoms where falling which to takaki was the only way to finally detach.even in the manga he sees a ring which can only be there if she was real. Also after that when the younger version of Akari waves back I believe it was what he saw when she wasn't there otherwise he would have ran after her.

As Tohno (male character) contacted Akari through email and mail stuffs, they hadn't felt the true meaning of love. So the title "5 Centimeters Per Second" tells that their love was growing apart with time. So Akari gave up on their relationship and found a new guy. But Tohno's life got ruined by her beauty and he still loves her and this kinda relates to the ending song.

I believe that he really saw Akari because (after checking the movie over 3 times but i might of missed something) he had not seen Akari in years so how could he possibly know what she looked like all that time later without even seeing a picture of her. So he must of recognized her as he stopped and turned around but since she had gotten over their relationship over time she didn't wait to see if it was Tohno so she kept walking. Also they had promised each other to see the cherry blossoms fall again and as they walk by each other you can see the blossoms falling so it was a way of concluding their relationship and Tohno moving on with his life.

This may be too late to change your ending view, but in the manga you can see that in the ending the girl shouts from the other side of the train when passing. Also, there is another chapter (volume 2, chapter 11) after that, it is Kanae's story part. The anime only ended on volume 2, chapter 10 of the manga.

Can you please expand a  little? What does she shout, is she a real person, how the manga ends? Dont assume we have read the manga

@ShantnuTiwari Ok, when the train already passing, this is what the girls shouted.. "takaki kun, you'll be just fine from now on, I'm sure of it",  then takaki said, "what about you", but no answer, and akari is not there anymore, he smile and continue to his life, and at the and akari was waving her hand.. there is another chapter after this you should read too.

Why wasn't the Flying Thunder God seal on Obito erased?
Tobirama said Obito might be using some kind of light and dark jutsu that turns all ninjutsu to nothing and only Senjutsu works on him. But I don't remember Tobirama getting into Sage Mode before placing the Flying Thunder God mark on Obito (well, it is not even told if he have a Sage Mode), but the mark was not erased in spite of being a ninjutsu. How can it be possible?

i'm also confused about it. but i think sealing jutsu thing works also.

He easily broke through two sealing jutsu's in the earlier chapters. That is the seal by hashirama and the powerful barrier of the Four Red Suns. Rather, the flying thunder god mark is not a Fūinjutsu. It is  a ninjutsu.

it's a seal. :P

The marking itself is not ninjutsu, but rather just a type of seal. And Minato states that the marking never disappears from a marked target in Chapter 637.
EDIT:
Minato marked him with a seal prior to Obito becoming the Jinchuriki. When Obito transformed, the seal was removed. This is because each mark has a very specific destination. And when Obito transformed into a different being, that also counts as a different destination, which voids Minato's mark.
However, after Obito became the 10 tails Jinchuriki, Tobirama was able to place his own mark on Obito. This seal is Obito the Jinchuriki, and can't be removed unless Obito undergoes another transformation into something else.

but the mark made by Minato did disappear right?

Yes, but only because Obito turned into the 10 tails jinchuriki

To negate a ninjutsu, Obito needs to use the black orbs either in defense or offense.
When Obito attacked Minato with the black orb, Obito's arm was not repaired back. And when Naruto+Sasuke attacked Obito, he used the black orb to absorb the combo attack.
So, o remove the  Flying Thunder God mark, he would need to use the black orbs on himslef, which is of a great risk. Maybe that is why he has not undone the technique.

If you read the manga, you must have noticed that he uses the black orbs on himself by making a hole in his palms for offence as well as defence. So the claim that using the black orbs on himself is risky does not hold good. He black orbs are indeed a part of his chakra(that is the Juubi's chakra), which of course he can use on his own body. And rather, to erase the combo from Naruto and Sasuke which hit him directly, obviously he used the black orbs on himself to erase it. And rather I think the black orbs act automatically, not according to the wish of Obito.

any substantial element to suggest that the black orbs are the part of jubi's chakra or that it acts automatically and not on the will of Obito?

Yes, when Obito got hit directly by the Naruto and Sasuke Combo, it was a direct hit and of course obito has no way of calling for the black orbs under such a situation. And rather as i earlier said, the black orbs cannot erase that attack completely without touching his body since the amaterasu is burning on his own body. And as i said, he shape manupulates and mixes the orbs with his own body for offence as well as defence. Hope you got what i meant.

Nope you are still unclear. how is it that you are determining that Obito has no way to call for the black orbs?

Do ninja clans have to keep relations only within the clan to ensure the inheritance of abilities?
Are there any references to arranged marriages or forbidden relationships in the history of clans being used to avoid the clan abilities from being lost?

By "forbidden relationships", do you mean incest? Because that might not be forbidden there, just like it wasn't in European royalty.

No I mean forbidden like "not allowed by the clan"

That's actually a very good question. We know that there wasn't such a strict law in the Senju or the Uzumaki, we haven't seen Sasuke's mother's Sharingan, so we can't know if she's a pure-blood Uchiha. We haven't seen Hinata's or Neji's mother either, so we can't tell. Unless someone remembers something that I can't.

I vaguely recall clans marrying their own clanmates to keep a bloodline limit. But I don't think they were necessarily arranged.

After the main manga epilogue, we have so many cross clan relationship.

As mentioned in the series, the clans usually do not want their "powers" to fall into someone else's hand. As these could be used for research against this power or getting even greater power for the clan that obtains it. Therefore they try to keep relations within clans. Then again  relationships with different clans do exist. Naruto's parents would be a good example for this  as Minato Namikaze married himself into the Uzumaki clan with Kushina Uzumaki

Membership in a clan is usually determined by blood relations and
  genetics, which is vital in the usage of Kekkei Genkai and secret
  techniques. These attributes and abilities made many clans feared and
  renowned throughout many villages. While clans may be composed of many
  individuals and extended families, many clans mentioned and seen in
  the series were somewhat limited to a nuclear family. Wikia

Also this part of the wiki states that family's (clans) can be composed of many families.
As for forbidden relationships, yes they existed (not always in a romantic way ) Look at the first Hokage and Madara Uchiha. They were best of friends yet their family's did not accept their friendship. So if I were to guess I would say that there is a high probability that there are also forbidden relationships
I couldn't find any specific information about forced marriage´s so far. But if I do find some information on this I'll add it here later.

Is Obito on Sage Mode?
Recently in the manga, Uchiha Obito said that he sensed Sasuke concentrating chakra in his left eye and poof! He quickly defended himself in an instant with slight similarity to Naruto's Sage Mode, that's why I wonder if he is in Sage Mode. If not, where did his sensory ability come from?

Update:
Here's a proof of his transformation from Naruto Episode 640 Page 14:

I am not sure as to how he sensed the accumulation of chakra, but I am sure that bening a sensory type is not limited to sage mode. Naruto in his Nine Tails form is sensory type. So, if I were to draw similarities, then I would say with Obito being the jinchuriki of the 10 tailed beast he gained the sensory powers.

I agree. but I am disciplined enough to ask the question to confirm my theory.

I don't think he is on sage mode. That's a result of sealing the ten tails inside of him, same as naruto after he took over Kurama. You can see the similarities. :)

Also has a Rinnegan and Sharingan, and both can assess chakra, as stated by Itachi and shown by Madara.

Something that I completely forgot. During Sasuke's battle with Deidara, Sasuke mentioned that using his Sharingan he can see chakra, so even Obito should be able to do the same, when Sasuke concentrated his chakra on his left eye, Obito could see it, thus he dodged it. He need not be in Sage Mode to accomplish that.

Good point. How about the markings and transformation?

The markings and transformations come from Obito becoming the Jinchuriki of the 10 tails. Naruto too faces similar transformations.

Therefore he is in Sage of Six Path mode and not in Sage Mode.=D

There is a difference in "being similar to the sage of the six paths " and being a sage. The sage of the six paths need not have been a sage, it can just be a phrase used as a title. Like Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraya were known as the sanins. Also as Naruto is known as Konoha's most surprising knuckle head ninja... :P

Yes I know. I was just kidding.

Madara said this when Obito became the Jinchuuriki of the Juubi: Now he is equal to The Sage of Six Paths.
So yes, Obito was in Sage Mode after he had become the Jinchuuriki. But Sage Mode abilities of Obito are far more dangerous than that of any one else due to the massive chakra of the Juubi.

The fact that he's comparable to the Sage of Six Paths, doesn't mean he's in Sage Mode, the two are different kinds of "Sage".

Look at the marks on his body. They are the same as that of the sage o six paths-the marks that shows that on is in sage mode. Plus he is showing all the characteristic features of a sage- like taking less damage, more reflexes etc.

Those aren't Sage Mode marks, those are the seal marks, Naruto has them too when he's in Bijuu mode, he isn't in Sage Mode the whole time. Also, nearly any "Mode" in the series does that, not just Sage Mode. Sage mode requires the user to sit still, and don't move. Obito has yet to do that.

Sage mode doesn't require person to stay still. When did Hashi ever stood still to get into his sage mode? Sage mode means the wielding of nature's chakra.

I agree @MadaraUchiha,. But don't you think that his transformation from a snake-like creature is a prerequisite for being in Sage Mode? We need more evidence though.

As far as i know sage modes in the series are used by Jiraiya, Naruto, Hashirama and Kabuto. There is no evidence yet to suggest that Obito is in sage mode now. He might be little short of becoming Sage of Six paths, doesnt mean he is in sage mode!

As for If Hashi stood still, He created a mass of wood clones, He could have gone to sage mode same way naruto did with his clones

@Morpheus: Hashi created a mass of wood clones after he was in sage mode and after the barrier of the four red suns was made and to help others to get in through the barrier. He was completely mobile before that. So he never stood still.

He does go into sage mode, that is how he can access the truth seeking balls, and not be affected by touching them

Sage of Six Paths mode is different from Sage Mode. What you're referring to is SoSP mode.

Why did Naruto need to summon his Shadow Clones during his fight with Pain?
While fighting Pain, Naruto used his Shadow Clones to store his Sage Mode chakra. Since the clones were at Mount Myoboku, he needed to summon them with a scroll.
A) Why didn't he just release the jutsu to get back the chakra in the clone?
B) Why did he need a scroll? Couldn't he have summoned him with just hand signs?

I know this title needs to be fixed, but Im not quite sure how to fix it. Krazer is needed

Answer A: The one you are saying "releasing" the jutsu with the clone isn't possible. What Naruto trying to do is to release the Reverse Summoning which is a Space Time Ninjustsu not the Kage Bunshin.
It is said in the wiki that:
"all summoning-based techniques are space–time manipulation related, as they warp the targets through a dimensional void to the summoner's location. It appears that each specific space-time technique has its own unique dimensional void that no other technique can access."
That means you can't release technique from another (void) dimension wherein the clones are like sealed in a container.
Now to release the reverse summon, well that answers B:
You need the signed contract(scroll) which serves as the passage way in order for the user (like Naruto) to release the Reversed Summoning then release the Kage Bunshin.

However, Myobokuzan doesn't lie in another dimension, because Fukusaku says that they can get there on foot in a month. They use the reverse summoning only for speeding it up.

Yeah. I agree. I think that is from Naruto Manga Episode 445 But it doesn't says there that it is a void dimension.

The problem is that they are far away, a month traveling and they need to keep focussing to keep the chakra, if naruto released the jutsu al clones would come to him and give him to much sage chakra, the second thing is that naruto indeed released the last clone with the technique release

WHat i wonder is why Naruto couldn't create and then release a clone right away, with it having the knowledge of having one of the clones gathering sage chakra to release. We know Shadow clones gain the knowledge as well as the original when one releases thanks to Naruto's Rasen-Shuriken Training. The released first clone would inform the 2 gathering sage chakra to have one of them release the shadow clone jutsu.

What does Kirito say at the end of SAO?
At the end of Sword Art Online (episode 25, ~21:40), Kirito says something in the presence of Leafa, Yui, and Asuna.

Despite being shown his lips moving, there is no sound and so the only hint is how his lips move. Since my knowledge of Japanese is far from extensive, I don't have the ability to read what his lips are saying.
What is it that Kirito said to the others in this final episode?

@truthist55 Actually I didn't really. I didn't pay much heed to her appearance changing in ALO.

From the corresponding scene in the light novel (volume 4, chapter 9; p. 308):

キリトは透き【すき】通った視線で一瞬【いっしゅん】アインクラッドを見つめ、しばしうつむいた。その唇【くちびる】が動き、かすかな声で誰かの名前を呼んだようだったが、聞き取れなかった。

Translated,

With his penetrating gaze, Kirito glanced at Aincrad for a moment, and then cast his eyes downward. His lips moved. It seemed as though he had said somebody's name in a faint voice - but [Yui] couldn't hear him.

In light of this, it is clear that Kirito said somebody's name. It seems, however, that the author chose to leave the identity of the person ambiguous.
I believe that the standard inference among the SAO fanbase is that Kirito said either Sachi's name or Kayaba Akihiko's name. This seems like a reasonable guess to me, though I'm not sure if there's any other evidence supporting it.

If I had to guess it would probably be
カヤバ明彦ありがとう
Which translated means "Thank you Kayaba Akihiko"  I've played it over and over again and that's all I can get put of it.

While the lip movements don't seem to disagree with your interpretation, I would be wary of conclusions based on reading the lips of animated characters, particularly when the lip movements are as undetailed as they are in that scene. There's tons of things that could be said that also match the lip movements there.

Well if the shoe fits, it must be a duck.

In addition to the other answers I would add some thoughts specifically on the anime.
Foundation
While I am not sure if it's the case, I would think that the animation was created in conformity with the authors ideas (i.e. they have decided jointly on this important scene). This means we can take those reactions as according to the canon, thus we can conclude more from them in addition to what is known from the manga.
Facts

Kiritos eyes are not directed at the girls (they are floating slightly above), his head is tilted even or slightly downwards.
The girls are paying attention to him once he speaks up
They both had a (positively) surprised look on their face which did not change during the scene.
Yui also seemd slightly surprised, but immediately became content and pleased.
There was no blushing or other signs.
Kirito ended the scene by speaking "Alright, here we go!" and attention was no longer on him (they were flying towards Aincrad)

Interpretation
Judging from Yui's behavior earlier, one could guess that he made a positive remark about (the relationship with) Asuna (pleasing Yui), while at the same time original enough to surprise both girls.

Please excuse my poor observation and interpretation skills and feel free to contribute to this answer, if you feel it is soundly based.

Three answers that may be what Kirito said in the season finale

Something about Sachi's death and the guild
From the creator of the game Kayaba Akihiko
Said something from his friends

Why does the use of Haki turn part of your body black?
Before the time skip, characters like Garp and the Priest of Sky Island, used Haki to deal damage to Luffy via a blunt attack, which would have been impossible otherwise. Also, Haki was used by both sides during the Summit War. None of these people turned black.
But after the time skip, when Luffy used Haki against Hordy, he partially turned black. And during his fight with Z, they both turned partially black. Is this a special type of Haki? Is there any reason why they change colors and if so why black?

I thought it was the impact dial that the priest of Sky island used to hurt Luffy, not some form of haki.

@NixR.Eyes You are right, but the priest and Enel still usesd Kenbunshoku Haki, which they called Mantra,to sense movements.

The physical strength attribute of haki works as an "invisible armor" called Busoshoku Haki.
The raise in density & thus, black coloring of a body part is in this haki category called Busoshoku: Koka. The sky priests aren't listed as users of either forms of this haki, but they did demonstrate haki abilities such as Kenbunshoku Haki which they called Mantra.
So yes, it is a special type of haki.
But reasons for not using it pre-timeskip span from it not being a fleshed out idea yet to something saved for the new world or it's just a serious assault that people inexperienced can't reach without proper training (since Enel never had too many challenges to increase his potential) to people who could do it were just holding back (because Garp wanted to raise Luffy... not kill him).

Yeah, so basically they are both the same, but Koka is thicker and harder and drains haki faster. It is not specific to Luffy or based on hardened/vulcanized rubber (as another answer here suggests), since many people in the new world also can use Koka. It is also why the axe of Boo from the happou navy was mentioned to be haki imbued but wasn't black (chapter 715, p. 14). He wasn't using Koka. Both are armament haki, just different strengths/levels of it.

Luffy's Haki ability is called Busoshoku: Koka. Koka means hardening. Luffy's body is made of rubber. Oda is quite clearly referring to hardened rubber, or vulcanized rubber, which is black. (Compare images below)

+1 Nice find. But then why would non-rubber, like Smoker and Vergo, people turn black when they use Haki?

I always assumed the black coloring was just to give the audience something to identify a "haki punch". Since the whole haki thing is only properly explained during the 2y gap, it makes sense to start differentiating visually between normal and haki attacks from that point on (with maybe some subtle hinting beforehand?).

@TAAPSogeking Luffy is the main character, and he is rubber, so Oda must have focussed his thoughts more on what Luffy's Haki would look like. Then he decided that for other people's Haki, he would use the same "color coding" to keep things simple, and avoid questions like, "why does Mingo's Haki look pink?" :)

@Kevin Hnestly, looking back, I think the most logical reason it was never colored in, as an IN universe kind of deal, is because none of the straw hats could detect it before. The haki Arrows that pierced stone were easily shattered in luffys hands, and he had no idea why. After the 2y time skip, they all learned how to use it, so naturally they could begin detecting it. I know more than one example of strange powers that were revealed to be invisible things. Such as YuYu Hakusho's bomber guy, and the Invisible hands from Re:Zero

It depends on how dense the haki (invisible armor) they use. When garp use haki to hurt luffy, he applied just a small amount so that it doesn't really hurt or can cause serious injury. That explains alot right? When you applied a vast amount of haki on your body .. it will turn black.. because of the density of the haki you applied on it. if it is a small amount.. then it's like invisible..

In the pre-timeskip, use of Busoshoku Haki as "invisible armor" was shown as a swift percussion forming a light-blue beam, similar to lightning, while in the manga, it is shown simply as an amplified impact, nothing else visible is shown... from wiki :v

How can Naruto characters teleport/disappear?
In the manga/anime, it appears as if teleportation is very rare. The few we know that gets a little bit explained are, for example, Minato (4th Hokage) and Obito (Tobi).
Despite of this, a lot of characters (mainly in the anime) "disappear" with a flashy exit when they wish. Orochimaru does this a couple of times, including others. Often with a phrase such as "I don't have time to play around with you any more" and then poof, gone!
Is there some explanation to this? Do they use a clone and then run off while the clone says goodbye to the opponent? If that is the case, when do they create the clone?

From what I understand, there are only actually a few ways to teleport. Those include Tobirama/Minato's Flying Thunder God technique, reverse summoning, and Obito's space/time Sharingan based technique.
Most of the time, when shinobi just poof, that means it was either a clone or they travel at a high speed such that one can not detect their movements. If it was a clone, then it was always a clone to begin and the person did not just substitute himself for a clone.

Kakashi got a book from Jiraiya then he went to read it, he just poofed away just like a shadow clone, so if it was a clone, how did the clone carry the book away back to the original? Sasuke kabuto and Orochimaru just burned away when they found them at the hideout, we all know they weren't clones. The fast movement you mentioned did happen multiple times and they use different visual and audio effects for it. Reverse summoning would be an explanation but then who does reverse summon them and how do they know when to summon them? and how we never saw a hand sign for substitution :D

They're ninjas!  They're so sneaky that they can sneak away and leave a log or some object behind and it only looks like they've teleported.

Can Brook have another Devil Fruit?
As per One Piece logic, a person cannot have 2 Devil Fruit powers.
The Yomi Yomi no Mi fruit revives the one who eats it. The powers of this fruit are a one-time use, and has been used up after Brook was revived. Can Brook now have another Devil Fruit?

Do you want to know what people think or if there has been any evidence given to support that he can have another? Because those are two different questions, one of which isn't allowed and one of which is.

I don't really follow the manga. So i want to know if there has been any clues to what my question is!

I don't believe anything about this is mentioned in the manga as of yet. As black beard's way of acquiring another devil fruit is also still unknown all answers given would be speculation only

This question is fine, just needed to be reworded. Quite frankly, I expected the experienced users to help the newbie, rather than nitpick.

Yomi Yomi no Mi's ability to revive its eater is just the tip of the iceberg. Brook thought it was the only purpose before the timeskip. However, after the timeskip, he reveals that he has now learnt the true power of his Devil Fruit.
The soul of a human who dies normally goes to the land of the dead, but his Devil's Fruit emits a powerful energy that allows his soul to remain in the living world. During the 2 years of training, he has also mastered its other abilities, such as:

Letting his soul leave and enter his body/skeleton at will
"Pouring his soul" into his music to show illusions to people
Summoning cold flames from the underworld
Surviving damage that would otherwise be fatal (he cannot be seriously injured unless his bones are hurt)

Long story short, Yomi Yomi no Mi is not a "one time use". Brook cannot have another Devil Fruit, unless Oda-sensei's hyper-creative imagination provides him a loophole.

Who's inside the third coffin that Orochimaru tried to summon?
In the battle between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru during the Chunin Exams, (on the rooftop where the Sound Four sealed them in a barrier) Orochimaru summoned the two previous Kages. He also tried summoning another coffin but Hiruzen successfully stopped it.
Who was inside that third coffin? It can't be the Fourth Hokage right? Because that time, he was still under the Shiki Fuujin Seal.

As can be seen on this image, it was indeed the 4th Hokage that Orochimaru tried to summon.

The kanji that appears in that coffin is 四, which is the kanji for 4.
However, unlike you said in your question, Hiruzen did not stop this coffin. It was the fact that the 4th Hokage was sealed with the Shiki Fuujin that prevented that summoning.

So it really is the Fourth! But I'm sure the Third formed a handseal to prevent that summon. (A serpent handseal if I remember correctly). I'll check that out later. But I'm now convinced it's the Fourth.[+1] Must be a plot hole if my recollection is correct..XD
Do you know what manga chapter where Orochimaru tried to summon Yondaime is in?

I think it was chapter 117.

Yeah that was it. On chapter 117, Hiruzen tried to stop the third coffin, and FAILED. But he said "the third one didn't work, it seems..". So you're right! It was the Fourth and the Shiki Fujin Seal prevented that summon.Thanks!

@Pocoyo I don't think reanimation works like this way. To perform reanimation, he needs a host first. If he can't reanimate him, what was the point of coffin? He must have reanimated him earlier on a host if it was possible.

It probably was the Fourth, but down the line, the creators forgot about this and messed up the story line by using the Reaper Death Seal on Minato

@JNat I’m confused by your last paragraph. It appears to me that Hiruzen did succeed in stopping the third coffin from being summoned, in the manga and in the anime (S3E17). How do you say that he failed, could you clarify?

I understand that the Fourth Hokage logically couldn’t have been summoned since his soul was sealed with the Shiki Fujin. But, don’t Orochimaru and Hiruzen comment that Hiruzen managed to stop the third summon? Hiruzen even performs hand seals to stop the summon.

According to the notes here, @Namaskaram, the third coffin is never even seen in the manga. In chapter 520, Kabuto also appears to corroborate the notion that the summoning failed due to Minato being sealed, which would mean Hiruzen's efforts were of no consequence, just a coincidence.

Orochimaru tried to summon the Fourth Hokage. The coffin did not open, because (as you already said) the Fourth Hokage was already sealed. Orochimaru tried to summon him anyway, and failed.

The coffin said 4 but it never specified it was a hokage. It could have been the kazekage that Orochimaru killed and impersonated during the exams. We were all under the assumption that it was a hokage because of the first and second, but it could have easily have been the kazekage.

Orochimaru, one of the legendary sanin might knew that the souls trapped by reaper death seal cannot be summoned. So, there was no 4th hokage. However, the kanji on the coffin reads 4. It might be possible that there was 4th kazekage who was killed by orochimaru before the invasion on konoha. Fortunately, hiruzen able to stop it by performing some hand seals.

There is a way to be the Fourth, but very unlikely. In the anime, probably in the manga as well, Kabuto taught Obito Edo Tensei. He got Danzou's bodyguards to show an example. He kills one of them, take his DNA and start the ritual. After it's complete, the dead guy is standing there, but he's not moving. That makes me think that only the body was there, and not the shinobi's soul or mind. As we saw in the Chikara filler arc, Kabuto tried to use some of the Akatsuki members but failed, saying that it was not enough time to use it yet. That could mean that between successive the ritual, there is a cooldown time, maybe the time for his mind or soul take control of the host. Considering this, the most probable thing is that it was the Fourth, but the ritual was made not so far in the past. Orochimaru did complete the ritual, and had Minato, but he couldn't use him right away. He tried to summon him on the fight, but because of the Shiki Fuujin, the host was not taken over by Minato's soul or mind. Either Orochimaru didn't know about the sealing or didn't know about the cooldown time. Minato died protecting the village, but many didn't know how. Orochimaru maybe didn't know he was sealed, and that made the coffin to failed and he being surprised in the fight.

I see a lot of pro Fourth Hokage for who's in the coffin throughout all the Naruto posts. Personally, I believe this could have been Madara. Maybe originally in the series, it was meant to be the Fourth by how the first two were former Hokage, but as for current timeline, it was established the Fourth was trapped by the Death Seal so he could not be revived without the ritual Orochimaru had to perform much later in the series. However, Kabuto did have Madara's coffin in the war which is probably a good indicator that it was probably the 3rd coffin Orochimaru was going to use and why the 3rd was afraid of it.

If you read my answer above, you'll see that I explain that the kanji on the coffin reads 4. That would indicate that the Fourth was the one inside that coffin. However, as you said, the Fourth was sealed, and that's why he could not be summoned.

I agree it probably is what the author had in mind at the time, but canon wise it just doesn't add up anymore.  Orochimaru knew what he had to do to re-summon all the sealed hokages second time.  He is a genius level ninja, seems very unlikely he wouldn't have tried the summon before a major invasion to see if it works. Kabuto shows the process for the edo, the way coffins were summoned means it wasnt the first time.  It was also explained by kabuto that in order to control the hokages, orochimaru placed command seals inside the edos. Very unlikely he neglected to do this on the last coffin.

Canon wise it does not add up, indeed. Most likely Kishimoto had not thought who exactly should be in that third coffin. In the manga, no third coffin is seen, though it is mentioned and stopped. However, when they adapted it into the anime, they must've thought it was ok to write 4 on the coffin. On the long term, it was a bad idea. But it seems to be the real answer.

Yes, it was the Fourth and it didn't fail because he was already sealed, as later on (much later) Orochimaru summons the Fourth and the Third to fight in Chapter 329, I believe (not certain which episode).

That was only after he undid the seal that was preventing them from being summoned along with the 1st and 2nd.

What is the significance of anime characters' catch phrases?
Uzumaki Naruto (Naruto) has a catch phrase "dattebayo". Ika Musume (Squid Girl) has a catch phrase "de geso". Himura Kenshin (Rurouni Kenshin) has a catch phrase "gozaru". And a lot more examples here.
What is the significance of anime characters' catch phrases?

Related: Why does Naruto have a catchphrase?

Is it a catch phrase? I think it is more of a sentence ending from your example.

Related: Why does Himura Kenshin say ～ござる (~gozaru) at end of every sentence?

@nhahtdh It's a sub trope of catch phrase called verbal tic.

Usually they're puns or just included for character. I think the aim behind it is to make characters more memorable.
Some of these pay off quite nicely for the series - Squid Girl's de-geso~ is instantly recognizable for fans even outside the show. The usage of it online or in popular media makes for good promotion for the series.
'de-geso', is a pun on Geso(tentacles) and De-gesu:

In end of Edo era and beggining of Meiji era, “De-gesu” is used by males of the lower class as transformational word of “Desu”.
“Geso” means tentacles of squid. Its article is mainly based on viewpoint of cooking. If your intention is to refer to Scientific aspects of squid, you would have to choose “Shokusyu” means just tentacle(s).
De-geso is the word combined De-gesu with geso. In the beginning of movie, Ika-chan spoke formally (but rudely) as the invader. So it is natural that she says manlike and old-fashioned terms like De-gesu. Of course, present Japanese don’t use such a word.
Traditionally, characterizing by making original suffix like De-geso was common technique in Anime. This is regarded as too facile nowadays.

De-geso~
Datebayo
Catchphrases could be used in order to emphasize a particular aspect of the character - Naruto's "Believe it!" (the frequent English translation) builds on his lively boisterous character, or in Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei "I'm in despair", puts focus on the lead's suicidal & depressional tendancies.
I'm in Despair!

Is there any more reason besides from making a character memorable for anime character's catch phrases? And can you provide some links for it?

Added some stuff on building characters, I'm afraid I couldn't find any links for the broader topic.

There are 2 different things that you're picking up on: catch phrases proper, versus copulas.
Both of these can be utilized in 1) making a character easy to remember, 2) setting the character apart in contrast to other characters in the same series (it is more common for only one character to sport a catch phrase in a series than for multiple characters to have one), and/or 3) epitomizing something about that character's qualities. Meaningless suffixes can likewise accomplish 1) and 2) but can't fulfill 3).
Catch Phrases
Naruto's "datte ba yo" is a catch phrase, since it is a stand-alone sentence that he can say whenever he likes. "Datte" means "because" or "but," or "da" is an informal copula (the formal version is "desu") + "-tte" means someone said it, so all together it could be translated to something like "'Cuz I say so." "Just 'cuz." "That's what I say." "Isn't it?" "Word." "Just, yeah." or "Yep."
Kenshin's "de gozaru" is not a catch phrase (see below). His catch phrase is "oro." The mangaka Nobuhiro Watsuki explained his catch phrase in an interview at AnimeExpo in 2002 (the English is from the interpreter's on-the-spot translation of his Japanese words):

Q: What is the origin of “Oro?"
A: I was surprised that it caught on like it did. Because it is just like saying “huh” or “uh” or “eh”. I am surprised that Kenshin used it so much, and that the fans caught on to it.

A good example of a catch phrase is Abe no Yasuaki's "Mondai nai" (meaning "It's not a problem") in Harukanaru Toki no Naka de, since it is neither a verb ending nor a suffix. It is simply a phrase he often uses, which encapsulates his stoic personality and that as an onmyouji he can handle pretty much anything.
Minami Mirei's catch phrase in PriPara, "Pop, Step, Get You!", is an interesting one since she coined it in order to craft an image of herself to project toward her fans, when in fact its buoyant perkiness does not match her real, secret personality.
Copula: Verb Endings
Kenshin's "de gozaru" is a copula of "de aru" but it is not strictly associated with him. It is historical from the Edo period and became associated with historical series in general in the minds of Japanese people. Kenshin uses it in a period in which it was not common, highlighting his personality as humble and not following the fashion of the times.
Ika Musume's "degeso" is a creative adaption of a copula. It is a play-on-words (we could call it a pun or oyaji gag), but its intended meaning is to be simply understood as that of the copula "degesu" (meaning "to be").
Chichiri in Fushigi Yuugi ends sentences with "no da".  "Da" is the most common and informal form of the copula, but inserting "no" makes it sound distinct without changing the meaning.
Suffixes
Mascots in the Pretty Cure franchise, characters in Di Gi Charat, and many other characters in anime, especially cute ones, tack a meaningless suffix onto their sentences. Rather than being a catch phrase proper, it is either 1) a repetition of part of their own name, 2) part of the name of something else in the series, or 3) a syllable or two that sound cute to the Japanese ear.
Minami Mirei in PriPara (mentioned above) appends the suffix "-puri!" onto many of her sentences in order to sound cutesy.

Why was Neji Hyuuga surprised to see Naruto's Kage Bunshin no Jutsu in the Chuunin Exams?
In the final round of the Chuunin Exams, when the match between Neji and Naruto starts, Neji is surprised when Naruto uses Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. He had seen Naruto use the same technique in the match against Kiba in the preliminaries. So he should have known that they were solid clones that can fight unlike the clones created by the Bunshin no Jutsu.
Why was Neji surprised when he saw Naruto's shadow clones?
Was Neji unaware of the Kage Bunshin Jutsu, which is a very popular jutsu used by the shinobi?

I'm not sure if Neji was exactly surprised, or if it was more of a realisation of the how the technique worked and of its potential.
But anyway, my take is that this is something like a "minor plot hole". I say this because although, as you said, Naruto performed this jutsu in his fight against Kiba, no one seemed to give any attention to it. In that fight, Naruto's accomplishment (somewhat) was the fact the he mastered the Henge no Jutsu.
In the beginning of the fight, Kiba remembers watching Naruto at the academy trying to perform Henge no Jutsu and completely failing it. Then, during the fight, Naruto is able to transform into Akamaru, and that seems to be the main focus of the battle. This flashback and transformation are shown in chapter 75, called "Naruto's Growth". In this chapter, although everyone sees the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, only Shikamaru seems to notice that it is Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. He is the only one that makes a remark about the combination of this jutsu and the Henge no Jutsu. Plus, in this scene, Neji does not have his Byakugan activated, a relevant piece of information for the point I'm about to make.
Naruto's fight with Neji begins in chapter 100. In this chapter, Naruto begins by realising he cannot get near Neji to attack him, so he'll have to attack from a distance, and thus he creates some clones with Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. Here, this technique plays a central part in the actions about to occur, which is accentuated by the fact that shinobi in the audience (unlike what happened in Naruto's fight against Kiba) take notice of the fact that Naruto is able to use a Jounin level jutsu. Plus, here Neji has his Byakugan activated, which means he can see chakra flow and tenketsu and all that. Possibly, this was the first time he laid eyes upon such a technique with his Byakugan. I say this because, unlike what you say in your question, the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu is not such a popular technique, taking into account that it is a forbidden jutsu. It may be used often in the battlefield, but back then, Neji would probably never have seen it in action.
Neji's realisation that it is Kage Bunshin no Jutsu is used to make the reader understand (or to remind him, since I cannot recall if it was explained before) the difference between this jutsu and the Bunshin no Jutsu in terms of chakra flow and its physical properties. Also, strategically, the fact that Neji understands this is essential, which leads him to, after being surprised, state that "In the end, there's only one true body".

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu is a jonin level technique used for spying (We see it being used very often by kakashi and other jonins). It would be really suprising that genins are not even told about the technique. A guy who re discovers main branch's secret techniques cannot know about a jutsu like this is little hard to believe :)

@kartshan I think the point is that Neji saw Naruto using a jutsu, he just didn't realize it was the Kage Bunshin Jutsu - after all, from Neji's perspective, Naruto's the class clown who managed to get this far entirely because his team was carried by the Uchiha. So what if the dope's picked up some random clone-spam jutsu from somewhere, he's still not particularly important.

another point, he was surprised he couldn't tell with his byakugan which was a clone and which the original, that was another element of surprise he tought he could by the flow of chacra diferentiate the "bunshin" from the original

@kartshan Kakashi can only do Kage Bunshin because he watched Naruto do it with his Sharingan, I don't recall any other jounin using it, only regular clones or their own specific element clones (mizu bunshin etc). Remember, it's a forbidden jutsu that Naruto learned from a scroll that was purposefully hidden by the third so that no one could learn it.

I think he was surprised to see Naruto's intellect that he had put equal chakra in each body so that Neji's eye cannot see the real one.

Kage bunshin isnt a popular jutsu..its actually one of the lesser known jutsus because it requires high level of chakra and not everyone can do it..even most jonins dont prefer doing it unless they go on jnfiltration or spying mission.

Is the amount of chakra extracted equal to the size of the part that is cut off from the Bijuu?
When the Eight Tails got a part of his tail cut off, Sasuke brought back the Eight Tails' body, but only about (estimate) 94% of it (due to the tail part still remaining with Killer B in it). Does that mean that they were able to extract 94% of the Eight Tails' chakra?
This also applies to Ginkaku and Kinkaku, who ate whatever was in the Nine Tails' stomach. Say, they ate (wild guess) 3% of the Nine Tails' total mass (they were in there for two weeks) did they attain 3% of the Nine Tails' total chakra amount?
I know my facts aren't spot on, I just wondered if the ratio between the amount of physical mass of Bijuu "attained", equaled the amount of total Bijuu chakra energy "attained"?

Killer-Bee lost only one tail, most of the Eight-Tails still remained inside of him, so perhaps you meant that Killer-Bee still has 94% remaining, and Sasuke captured only 6%.

I may be wrong on this one, but I think the answer is "no". Let's take a look at how chakra works in a human body.
Chakra system is much like the circulatory system of a human:

Contained in the "chakra coils" that mainly surround and connect to each chakra-producing organ, the energy circulates throughout the body in a network called the "chakra circulatory system" (similar to the cardiovascular system). (1)

The chakra circulatory system, itself

is enmeshed into the body and like blood vessels it touches and interacts with every single living cell and passes through every organ.(2)

Much like with blood vessels, chakra vessels not equally distributed in the body. There are more of them in some places, and less of them in others, which means the flow of chakra is more intense in some body parts, and is less intense in others.
Now, we don't know much about the Tailed Beasts' body structure , but if we assume that their physical bodies work in a similar way, we can say that the amount of chakra is also different for their body parts.
Also, obviously, the Tailed Beasts can regenerate their chakra (otherwise they'd have a limited amount of it), and for some reason I doubt that the cut part of the tail is capable of regenerating chakra on it's own.

do consider that the 4th hokage only sealed a certain part of the chakra of the ninetails in naruto. meaning there is no physical body of the ninetails. Wouldnt this mean the embodiement of the ninetails is pure chakra ?

Why can Mitsuki see Shinigami?
When Meroko and Takuto first appear to Mitsuki, they're extremely surprised that Mitsuki can see them since humans aren't supposed to be able to see Shinigami.
Is it ever explained why Mitsuki can see them?

It's because:

 The soul of Eichi has been watching over her since he died. When Sheldan tries to take Mitsuki's soul, it's explained why Eichi is the reason why Mitsuki can see Shinigami. This is what saved Mitsuki and Takuto after they get pierced by the Mystere's scythe at the end of the series. At the end of the manga it's revealed that Eichi refused to allow Takuto to take his soul (this was Takuto's first assignment as a Shinigami) because he wanted to meet Mitsuki again (because of the promise they made to meet again when they achieved their dreams) and stays with her for 6 years until the end of the series, when he see that she is now happy and wants to live.

Hmm, I thought I remembered something like that, but the relationship between being watched over and seeing shinigami doesn't really make sense to me, lol. If that's supposed to be why then I guess I'll have to pretend to understand it.

"it's explained why ******* is the reason why Mitsuki can see Shinigami" Was this just "******* is why she can see them" and the rest is up to imagination, or was there further explanation?

I don't have the manga or anime infront of me for reference but I think they talk about how "E" is the reason she can see Shinigami near the end of the series for both mediums. When the true identity "S" aka "John" is revealed.

How could Sasuke match Lee's speed?
In episode 22 of Naruto, when Lee fights Sasuke, we have seen Lee open the first Gate, after which he claims to have supreme speed to launch his attack.
But (not far away) in episode 66, Sasuke obtains that speed, within only a month of training, while it took Lee many years of extremely hard work.
Although he had Sharingan, it doesn't mean that he can copy the speed of his opponent. How was it possible?

Sasuke:
is a "genius" (possesses innate talent).
is a Uchiha (somewhat the reason why he is a "genius").
Lee:
is a hard worker (his main motivation being to surpass Neji, the "genius" in his team).

Basically, Lee has no innate talent to ninjutsu or genjutsu. Thus he had to master taijutsu in order to surpass the "geniuses", and become a great ninja. This is a process that takes a lot of time.
Sasuke on the other hand does not need to work so hard in order to accomplish what Lee needs to work on for several years. Remember that he was able to master the Goukakyuu no Jutsu at a very early age.

This. He's an Uchiha, he's Sasuke and yeah, that's it. :P

His increase in speed has nothing to do with his sharingan. The fact that he is an Uchiha gives him a sort of "better chakra". As opposed to Lee's chakra, since he has no natural talent.

Perhaps Taijutsu depends on "efficient" chakra flow in your body to complement physical finesse - and the Sharingan can read and copy these patterns.

@JNat@ArturiaPendragon Do you have something to relate/refer to what you said that he could with his Sharingan to copy/boost its ability of his taijutsu? Because He is indeed from the Uchenna clan and it's gives him a significant advantage in learning genjutsu and ninjutsu but I do not remember mentioned somewhere that it is valid for taijutsu.

@HashiramaSenju: I never said that his sharingan helped him boost his speed. With it he can easily copy Lee's movements, but it does not allow him to copy his speed. However, since he is a "genius", he can achieve Lee's speed much easily. Those two points put together let him achieve Lee's speed and technique in a shorter period of time.

this is what i call sharingan spammed powerups..

It is much like the situation Lee had with Neji, really. Neji is a true genius, the process of learning and training is fast and easy for him. Remember Neji's thoughts about geniuses and that they are unreachable bu people without talent?
Lee is a perfect example of hard-worker. He had absolutely no talent neither for ninjutsu nor for genjutsu. He trained extremely hard for years, and his willpower and stubbornness (and Guy-sensei) helped him to finally become what he was.
Sasuke, much like many others inUchiha clan, was a genius too. While in their first encounter his speed wasn't enough to match Lee's, in the second one, he was already able to reach the same speed. Of course, the Sharingan also helped. No, it can not "copy the speed", I think it's portrayed nicely in the anime (though I dont remember the episode), when Sasuke can see Lee's movements with Sharingan, but cannot react fast enough with his body. However, Sharingan also helps in practicing Taijutsu, because it lets it's owner learn techniques faster. Of course, it helps in battle as well, allowing to see enemy movements absolutely clear and precise, and possible copying them (Sasuke showed that in the first part on exam, when he used Sharingan to copy the answers to the test from the guy in front of him by copying his arm movements).

and Sasuke copied Lee's "Lion Combo" (Shishi Rendan) after seeing it only once and used it to defeat a Sound ninja in the Chuunin Exam.

@ArturiaPendragon It just means that he copied the technique but he just has not reached its speed at that time.

Lee only trained for a year to get that speed. Sasuke was already faster than Lee had been when he started training. Combined with his inate talent, ability to use chakra properly and intense training, it's not that unbelievable.

Does Naruto know that Boruto has a curse mark on his hand?
As the title said, does Naruto know that there is a curse mark on Boruto's hand after the battle against Momoshiki Otsutsuki?

*Any spoiler is allowed but remember put a spoiler tag.

No only sasuke knows about it.

Yes, Naruto does know that Boruto has the Kāma seal.

 Naruto at this point definitely knows about the Karma mark on Boruto. He also knows it is on Kawaki and has them train together causing their marks to resonate with each other in an attempt to learn more about it. (emphasis mine)

This point is also proven respectively in the manga, during Naruto and Boruto's Shinobi Hand-to-Hand Combat:

Considering Boruto using it right in front of Naruto, as well as him being able to identify it's name, he obviously knows Boruto has it.

Is Goku using God ki when he uses Ultra Instinct?
We know Goku in Super Saiyan God and in Super Saiyan Blue uses God ki. And apparently, he can also use God ki in base form. So, my question is, is Goku using God ki when he uses Ultra Instinct? Does the anime show something about this?

The answer is YES. In Dragon Ball Super Manga Chapter 60, Vegeta clearly states that Goku is using God Ki when in the Ultra Instinct Omen State.

 No. Goku is not using God Ki while using Ultra Instinct. We know this definitely based on Episode 110, 116 and 129. In Episode 110, When Goku used Ultra Instinct Omen in his fight against Jiren, Roshi and Tien were able to sense Goku's energy. Even Piccolo was able to sense his energy as he made a statement that he was becoming stronger during the course of battle.Also, during Goku's fight with Kefla, we see Kefla being able to sense Goku power up increase his energy and hence responded by doing the same and even Jiren was able to sense this energy and wake up from meditation during their course of battle. The "heat" which has been mentioned during all the times Goku turned Ultra Instinct , is a rise in Energy. We know this definitely in Episode 129  after Whis talks about the same. Also, When Goku pushes back Jiren's barrage of attacks, Jiren mentioned that Goku had generated this tremendous amount of heat to land a decisive blow on him and defeat him for which he must respond.(This was when Goku was powering up). When Jiren powered up before launching his attack on Goku, Toppo remarked that Jiren was "Getting way too heated up(Generating a lot of heat)", which in other words is a lot of energy.We know the Super Saiyan God transformations are all about Ki control and Energy levels can't be sensed. Hence the above mentioned occurrences confirm without a doubt that Goku is not utilising God Ki during the Ultra Instinct Transformations

On the other hand, when Frieza goes golden form for the first time in response to Goku's Blue form, he muses that from what he's sensing he has won the power race between him and Goku.  And Hit can sense the increase in Goku's energy when he applies the Kaioken to Blue.

It's because they throw new ideas and concepts and they don't pay too much attention if they conflict with each other. That's what Akira Toriyama meant when he said he wants to remain the story "simple" after being asked about some elements of the story

Yes Ultra Instinct needs God ki. In chapter 66 of the manga, Vegeta and the rest of the z fighters were giving Goku there energy but it wasn't enough. It was stated that for Ultra Instinct godly ki is needed. That is why once goku got Uub's energy he was able to go Ultra Instinct and destroy Moro's gem.

Yes. Whis's statement is very clear. As far as others sensing his ki and what not, that's almost become a mute point. Broly, Jiren, 17 and Frieza don't have God ki, yet can sense and counter it just fine. Akira obviously abandoned this attribute for God ki.

Ultra Instinct has god ki but it's on the next level of god ki my guess is angels, gods of D and Kaiō-shin's have different type of god ki and you have to be on that level too feel it. like how goku could not feel Toppo power and top said he's a god of destruction candidate and how vegeta can't feel U.I because it might be the god ki of angels and only angels and U'I users can feel it but thats just my theory.

From where do anime streaming sites take their videos from?
I was wondering - from where do anime sites find the anime they are streaming? I'd like to know how they get the content and from where.

Some from torrent sites or are ripping them from the disks or original streaming services.

ohh, so they download from there and display it then? Thanks

Legal streaming sites like Crunchyroll, Viz, and others get their source directly from the original distributor/publisher after they get the license/rights to stream the series.
Outside of those sites (which are considered "gray area"), they use any possible sources, from ripping the video from the original streaming services and DVD/BD to downloading from existing sources, which is basically piracy since it's a copyright infringement to distribute works without permission, regardless if they are already licensed or not yet licensed.

How did Kaguya Otsutsuki cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi the first time without the moon?
In the anime, I remember Kaguya coming to Earth and later she castes Infinite Tsukuyomi on the people. But later we are shown that Kaguya is sealed and is formed into the moon. Then what did she cast Tsukuyomi on the first place, as the Infinite Tsukuyomi requires a moon?

Yes, there was no moon when Kaguya arrived on Earth. And for the Infinite Tsukuyomi to be activated, the presence of a moon is a primary condition.
So, in Naruto: Shippūden episode 460, Kaguya activates the Infinite Tsukuyomi. She does so by using her space time jutsu Yomotsu Hirasaka to open a portal and use a moon from somewhere else.

The animation of the portal opening is shown only for a split second.

In episode 20 during the Hunter Examination, after knocking down Bodoro, Hisoka whispered something to Bodoro and conceded after. I don't know if it has shown what Hisoka said or whispered that i might've miss or it never did showed it in the anime.
So what exactly did Hisoka whisper to Bodoro?

No one really knows, as it has never been revealed.
But a common theory is that Hisoka whispered something to him along the lines of "If you don't forfeit, I am going to fight the children", as Bodoro doesn't like to fight or harm children. You can read up more about him and form your own theory here.

Is Alluka a biological offspring of the Zoldyks?
In chapter 321, Silva Zoldyk says:

I'd consider this dialogue as talking about the entity within Alluka, rather than about Alluka herself.
But moving on to chapter 323, Illumi talks to Hisoka about Alluka:

But this dialogue (considering context), is about Alluka and not Nanika. After reading Illumi's explanation, Silva's explanation also seems to be on the same page.
So the question is whether Alluka is a biological offspring of the Zoldyks or not, since they repeatedly say that they don't know where he came from.

There's no information from the manga yet which can deny Alluka as a biological offspring of the Zoldycks. However, I'm not sure that them saying they don't know where Alluka came from would mean that Alluka is not blood-related. I still think they're referring to the Alluka-possessed-by-Nanika, not to Alluka alone.
I am going to cite this image from Volume 33. Here, it's showed that Nanika is from the Dark Continent:
As far as I know, this information is not yet revealed to the characters. 'The truth is we don't know...where he came from.' Given the little knowledge there is about the Dark Continent and the fact that they still don't know that Nanika is something from the Dark Continent, it would make sense that the Zoldycks would make this statement. They thought Alluka was their child before the first incident or sign that he/she is possessed. They probably became unsure who Alluka really is after they found out about Nanika since their previous children and even their ancestors did not manifest something similar.
To conclude, I think Alluka is a Zoldyck, unless future manga information reveals otherwise. What happened was Nanika possessed Alluka when he/she was still a child, making the Zoldycks doubt that he's/she's family. How Nanika came to Alluka all the way from the Dark Continent is currently unknown.

Did Pain control the animals from his Summoning jutsu?
I'm a fan of Naruto, I wonder if Pain was manipulating his summoned beasts, as I noticed rods in all the animals.
Also, were those animals dead?

Yes!
According to wiki page here
This is a list Pain can summon :

The Animal Path (畜生道, Chikushōdō) grants a Rinnegan user the ability of summoning various animals and creatures to aid it in battle. These creatures appear to be immortal, as they were killed and later summoned again

Giant Drill-Beaked Bird
Giant Multi-Headed Dog
Giant Snake-Tailed Chameleon
Giant Panda

What are the objects that eat Devil Fruits?
In the Alabasta arc, Mr.4 has a dog that shoots out an exploding ball, but Miss Merry Christmas said that it was actually a gun that "ate" a devil fruit.

Are there other inanimate objects that "eat" Devil Fruits?
If there is, then what object is it and what Devil Fruit did they "eat"?

From what we know, there are only 4 objects that ate a devil fruit :
(Note that these are only Zoan Devil Fruits)

Lassou : A bazooka that ate Inu Inu no Mi (Dog Model)

FunkFreed : A sword that ate Zo Zo no Mi (Elephant)

Rakuyo : a "scourge" that ate an unknown devil fruit

Smiley : a mass of gaz that ate the Sara Sara no Mi (Axolotl Model)

Are non-canon characters included here?

Does Trunks know how to fire a Kamehameha?
I was watching this segment from a non canon movie (which is known to have some animation mistakes such as Krilin's "Super Saiyan" aura) and Trunks seems to do the pose, and he says the words like someone firing a Kamehameha.
I was wondering if his  Kamehameha scream was something made up by the dub, or if it was in the original Japanese audio, and in the case Trunks was genuinely made to fire a Kamehameha in the movie, if this is congruent with the series or does just Trunks supposedly know how to fire a Kamehameha only in the non canon universe?

Trunks has never fired a Kamehameha in any of the canon versions of the series. He does use the attack in GT and also in the case of the movie as you stated. Essentially, the attacks used by the Hybrid Saiyans are generally based on the attacks used by their respective fathers. Which in Trunks' case, is the Galick Gun and Final Flash and Kamehameha in case of the Son Family. I wouldn't necessarily say Trunks' scream was made up by the dub with regard to the movie as you can see  here.

Which are all the S and A class heroes whom Garou fought?
So far in the anime Garou has fought Tank Top Master, Heavy Tank Loincloth, Blue Fire, Magic Trick Man, Golden Ball and Spring Mustachio. From video segments of the manga I've seen he fought others such as

 Genos.

Which are all the S and A class heroes whom Garou fought  ?

Please consider using spoiler tags. You may have seen or read things, that isn't same for everyone else.

@ero sennin When it comes down to questions about stories, anything it's a spoiler for someone. I think that if someone don't want to be spoiled , he/she shouldnt look into any question, otherwise we should be tagging all questions. If you have any practical rule, such as all questions including content from the manga should be tagged with spoilers (with imo it would be a pain, because half questions should be tagged, but more or less reasonable) open a question for debate in meta. BTW the content posted isnt new, it's over 2 years old

Just an opinion but I think it would be best if spoiler tags are used on recent questions on currently airing anime series, especially if manga chapters that are not yet aired/adapted are discussed. While some content in the manga may have been released years before, it might be unknown to anime viewers. 'I think that if someone don't want to be spoiled , he/she shouldnt look into any question...' Even so, some may stumble upon these questions accidentally/unintentionally, no matter how unlikely it might seem and that could ruin other's viewing experiences.

@Pablo you're asking a question in relation to series which has just started its second season. Even if the content is over two years old, I'm pretty sure you asked this question because you follow the anime. There will be people who strictly follow the anime. I feel that mentioning characters of importance like you did, would take away the element of surprise for an anime only viewer. But I guess this is just my opinion. You're free to do what you think is right.

This will include spoilers of necessity.  I'll mention the webcomic appearances for S-class (I think the manga covers all of the A-class he fought in the webcomic already, but I won't quite guarantee it).  Though keep in mind there are differences between the webcomic and manga.
S-class

Metal bat
Genos
Bang
Watchdog Man
Tanktop Master
King (sort of)

In the webcomic he also fights:

 Everyone else except Blast, Metal Knight, and Drive Knight.  In several cases he fights three or more of them at the same time.

A-class

Blue Fire
Heavy Tank Loincloth
Magic Trick Man
Golden Ball
Spring Mustachio
Death Gatling
Smile Man
Stinger
Chain'n'toad

There's also a smattering of B-class heroes and even Mumen Rider, and a host of monsters that were classed as Demon or Dragon level threats.  A list of manga battles Garou has fought can be found here.

S Class That Garou fought - METAL BAT , GENOS , BANG

Why Saitama was so poorly promoted after he defeated this insanely powerful enemy?
So, in the battle between the Hero Association and the Monster Association,

 Saitama defeated Garou.

Why was he only promoted to Class A?

Can you add the source bro? I assume that manga haven't come out yet right?

In short, Saitama is the opposite of King: King gets credit he shouldn't get, while Saitama doesn't get credit he should.  The latest chapter of the webcomic involves Flashy Flash and makes things pretty clear: Flashy Flash thinks that Garou had been "weakened" by fighting with the S-class members, and so that diminishes Saitama's accomplishment. While Flashy Flash acknowledges Saitama's speed and power as "top class", and that he's far stronger than he appears, he seems convinced that he was still reliant on Garou being "weakened".
That's been the recurring story behind Saitama's advancement within the association: people assume that he's just piggybacking on the efforts of S-class heroes, as there have often been one or more such present in his fights. Sea King had Genos and several A-class and lower heroes. Saitama even encouraged people to think of him as a vulture after this so that they'd think better of other heroes. The meteor involved Genos and Metal Knight, and Bang was also present. Genos (and I think Metal Knight, too) got a promotion within S-class over the meteor, despite having been wholly ineffective. Boros had most of the S-class involved, and no one even witnessed what Saitama did there. And Garou and the Monster Association also involves much of the S-class heroes.

Was Madara tricked by Hashirama when he absorbed the latter's senjutsu?
Madara paralyses Hashirama with chakra rods. He then proceeds to absorb his Senjutsu. He mocks Hashirama and says that his chakra is meagre and easy to control.
However, we all know that Hashirama is no idiot when it comes to war. Did Hashirama restrain his Senjutsu chakra somehow and fool Madara, or was Madara saying the truth?

I don't think so. Senjutsu chakra is not unlimited, but the user can gather in again and again. Probably Hashirama was truly out of senjutsu chakra at that time.

What is the name of the soundtrack when Madara was absorbing chakra from Hashirama?

Like you've said, Hashirama is no idiot when it comes to war. The case is exactly same for Madara. Madara was a genius at manipulation, tactics, and logical thinking.
Senjutsu chakra is highly potent if a user doesn't know how to handle. But this is Madara we're talking about and not an inexperienced Genin.

Senjutsu practitioners learn to draw the energy of nature inside of them, blending it with their own chakra.

Since Senjutsu chakra is therefore mixed with the user's own chakra. So there is no way to separate it and/or hide/seal it away within a person's body.
And moreover, Madara had Hashirama's cells, welcoming the Senjutsu chakra into his body. Which explains how it readily accepted his body. Moreover, Madara was able to decode it within seconds, and figure out the working of it, hence the comment about belittling Senjutsu chakra.
Even if Hashirama tried to fool Madara, I'm sure he would have realized it within moments. But there was no mentioning about it by either of them.

Would Naruto awaken the Rinnegan if he takes the Sharingan from Sasuke?
The reason I ask this is because I think the only important things to awaken Rinnegan is to have Indra and Ashura's chakra. Someone will say that the requirement is Uchiha and Senju's chakra. However, Obito had both of them, but he didn't awaken the Rinnegan.
Why didn't Obito awaken Rinnegan? Would Naruto awaken the Rinnegan if he takes the Sharingan from Sasuke?

Let's start with the requirements for awakening the Rinnegan. From the Naruto Wikia,

the Sharingan can be evolved into Rinnegan through combination with Hashirama's DNA.

In the history of the Naruto anime, the only 2 people who have been able to pull such a feat are Madara and Sasuke.  What those 2 have in common is the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan which they awakened from taking their brothers Mangekyous.

Obito on the other hand had a normal Mangekyou Sharingan and that explains why he was unable to evolve his sharingan to the Rinnegan despite having both bloodlines.
So my deduction is: the highest point of the Sharingan (aka the Eternal Mangekyou) plus Hashirama's cell/chakra (or Otsutsuki bloodline which can be gotten from mixing both Senju and Uchiha genes) = The Rinnegan.
Now to the question, in my opinion, if Naruto took Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and implanted them into his eyes, then he would manifest the Rinnegan. This is because he would meet the requirement for the evolution, which are:

Eternal Mangekyou sharingan
Otsutsuki bloodline (or a mixture of both Senju and Uchiha chakra).

But then again let's be realistic, Naruto would never do that.

You dont need a mixture of Senju and Uchiha chakra, but rather to possess Indra's chakra and fuse it with Ashura's reincarnates chakra thus forming Hagoromo's and awakening Rinnegan.

The existing answers are incorrect. It is explained that for one to awaken the Rinnegan they have to replicate Hagoromo's chakra, so that means that not just any Uchiha or Senju can awaken the Rinnegan. Only those that have Ashura/Indra's chakra or Hagoromo's chakra can awaken the Rinnegan. That's why Obito didn't awaken his Rinnegan, simply because he isn't a reincarnate of Indra even though he had Ashura's DNA and didn't have Hagoromo's chakra. Another example is Danzo; he had Senju (Ashura's) chakra but he didn't possess Indra's chakra even though he had the Sharingan.

But Naruto IS Ashura's reincarnate, so what are you trying to say?

I think the explanation for obito is not enough time had passed. It took Madara decades to awaken his. So if it’s just Senju+Uchiha to get rinnegan, it takes decades for it to work.

Okay, let me introduce my personal opinion on this:
Otsutsuki have gained the power of charka, which made them manifest the origin chakra eye technique. But as the time went by, the technique was weaker and weaker and thus was actually so weak compared to the predecessor it became a new one, lets consider this one a Rinnesharingan, but as we know, somewhere had to be the moment, which leaded to manifestation of the new technique, so if we would step back (merge the pathes that did split) we would acquire the technique, so basically, any eye, just a little bit related to the origin can be rinnegan and thus even Narutos current eye potentionaly could handle rinnegan, which it didnt. Anyway, any time you merge the pathes that have split, you will gain its predecessors power. So, yes. Naruto would manifest Rinnegan if given Sasukes sharingan.
Edit: As I have discussed with my friend, I want to notice Im not saying that your surely will get the exact eye, this is still a new eye and a new evolution, so the eye will be different, but most likely the changes are gonna be sooo unnoticable, that you can consider it a fully flaged predecessor

Would make more sense if when Asura reincarnate takes chakra from Indra reincarnate, they would receive Six Paths Senjutsu. Asura and his reincarnates being given Asura's chakra results in Six Paths Senjutsu, as seen with Naruto and Asura himself.

I think you just need Senju and Uchiha. Uchiha gives Sharingan and once you get some Senju chakra, it will evolve into Rinnegan. Sadly if you get both eyes Rinnegan or have a lot of chakra and don't run out, you'll never have Sharingan again.

This answer doesn't add much to the existing answers, and goes into a bit of a tangent about the Rinnegan with respect to the Sharingan.

Why are Sharingan users less susceptible to genjutsu?
I can't remember where I saw this, but sometime today, I saw something like: "The Sharingan helps the Uchiha counter genjutsu" and i've been thinking about it for a while now. Can anyone explain how the Sharingan helps the Uchiha counter genjutsu?
I understand that users of the Sharingan can easily use genjutsu on others, but how does the Sharingan help them counter the effects of genjutsu?

Mainly because Sharingan is a weapon that casts genjutsu, and it has a feature where it can detect genjutsu. The user understands quickly when a genjutsu is cast. It's the canon explanation provided in the series. I don't recall any other specific description being said in the series

hmm, i can't remember that being stated. What feature does the sharingan have? @EroSɘnnin

Its called the Eye of Insight. "The user can see chakra, giving it colour in order to distinguish it by its composition and source."

The Sharingan sees chakra as color, and Genjutsu works off chakra, so it stands to reason that the built in Genjutsu detection is actually chakra detection. If the Genjutsu caster didn't personally add it, an illusion of a person would to a Sharingan look like a hollow puppet. It would be lacking the chakra network all living people must posses to live (recall chakra exhaustion results in death, which is shown twice during Pain's invasion), thus obviously be Genjutsu.
Though, as Islam Elshobokshy says, it does not render you immune to Genjutsu. It only makes it easier to Detect Genjutsu. As Sasuke says in one of the dubs, "My eyes can see through Genjutsu". In Sasuke vs Itachi, we see both of them play along to each others Genjutsu, but also clearly show they knew it was all an illusion in the beginning of the fight. Zetsu commented on how they just stood around not moving. The Tsukuyomi however seemed to fool Sasuke, until he broke through it.

Black Zetsu, during the fight between Itachi and Sasuke, states that the sharingan is just like any weapon that a shinobi possesses.
It's power depends upon how powerful it's weilder is.
So, yeah it's definitely possible for a Sharingan user to succumb to a genjutsu casted by another Sharingan user. A Sharingan genjutsu casted on someone having a sharingan can be easily broken by the victim, if he is powerful enough to counter it.
If not, then he'll definitely succumb to it.
There are numerous examples :

The most common ones coming to my mind involve Itachi's Tsukoyomi, which granted is a Mangekyo Sharingan ability, but it's ultimately a genjutsu.
Itachi used the Tsukuyomi several times on Sasuke, and on Kakashi as well. It's also an exceptional genjutsu though, which can only be countered by a blood related Sharingan user. Even so, Sasuke is not able to counter it, during his fight with Itachi (itachi let him out of it, after assessing his potential).
Reanimated Itachi and Sasuke cast on each other their respective Genjutsu, to break out of Kabuto's genjutsu.
Then there's this ultimate genjutsu, The Kotoamatsukami. Ability of Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, reanimated Itachi has this cast upon himself during the war. This genjutsu is unbreakable by any means, at least as stated in the manga.

In which episode did Naruto turn into Eight-Tails Chakra Mode while fighting Pain?
There's an episode in Naruto showing Naruto use the Eight-Tails Chakra Mode while he's fighting with Pain.
I have looked on Google and nothing came up. The only thing was that when he met Killer B.
Which episode is this?

Hi, what do you mean by "The only thing was that when he met Killer B."?

It's in Episode 167, Season 4. 5:51 is when he turns into the 8 tails.

I think it's ep. 166 or around that in Shippuden.
It started in 166 and the fight started in 167 with Pain vs 8-tails. To be more precise, the whole ep. 167 was of 8-tails.

Please be precise with your answer. Provide timestamps or references to support your answer.

But it started in 166 and the fight started in 167 with pain vs 8 tails. TO be more precise the whole ep 167 was of 8 tails

Who is stronger, Majn Buu or Lord Beerus?
Majin Buu can tear a hole in space and use it for inter-dimensional travel. Can Lord Beerus do it? Also, Majin Buu has regenerative abilities. What would be the outcome if they fought?

@AkiTanaka There is a canonical encounter between the two. Also we can compare the strengths via using a third party who has fought both of the characters.

@jmazaredo Can you make it clear about which Majin Buu you're talking about? Is it the fat funny Buu, or the evil Kid Buu?

@EroSɘnnin fair point, I have retracted my close vote (the downvote is not mine).

If Beerus uses his divine power he can erase anything inside his universe can he not?
That means that even if Buu were stronger Beerus can erase him if he wishes to do so.
This is because as the God of Destruction, he has to destroy other planets so new planets may arise and give new life. The overwhelming power of Beerus exceeds even that of Goku, who has surpassed several Super Saiyan levels; Beerus completely dominates Super Saiyan 3 Goku in battle, of course beating Goku in Super Saiyan 3 by just two hits by flicking him and rendering him unconscious with merely a chop to the neck. He also takes down Mystic Gohan with a single kick to the abdomen, causes Gotenks to defuse, and dominates full-powered Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta as well. Even when Goku fought him after becoming a God, he merely impressed Beerus rather than inflicting any long-lasting damage.
Beerus is stronger and can erase Buu. Regeneration will not work if Buu does not exist.

Could Sai be an Uchiha?
I know officially his name is Sai Yamanaka (which could be a lie), but what I'm asking is: could he have Uchiha DNA?

Sai was kept underground for the majority of his upbringing and hidden, furthermore within the foundation he mastered the suppression of all emotion, and Tobirama Senju explained the the Sharingan is awakened with extreme emotion.

Itachi only had so much time to slaughter the entire bloodline; any Uchiha out on missions may have survived, hidden within the Anbu. And when you are born a Uchiha, you can deactivate the eye. Maybe it's possible there were still Uchiha within the village as part of a 'witness protection' service to keep them hidden. (It's possible that it was being planned for some time and the Anbu Uchiha were pulled out of service, but it's still possible they didn't.)

If both those statements are true, doesn't that mean Sai could be an Uchiha? I haven't started Boruto, if this was explored there I don't know, but Sai feels like a side character and I doubt it.

I feel like your evidence is extremely tenuous.

Indeed, but it's possible right? ill be honest this is more of a shower thought than anything lol

With regards to the point about his name "being a lie" that wouldn't be wrong, those of the foundation have no names, Yamato and Sai were both assigned first names just prior to their assignment to Team 7 having been nameless until that point and were never assigned a family name. They both keep those names going forward and when Sai marries Ino of the Yamanaka clan he takes on the name of their clan

...no.
Sai was an orphan.  He had no other attachments to anything or anyone other than Root and Danzo.  If he were an Uchiha, surely by now his dojutsu would have been made a prevalent part of the series (along with an attempt by Danzo to steal the eyes).
His full name is the result of him taking the surname of his wife.

But Sai's whole gimmick was suppressing his emotions. The Sharigan appears after extreme emotions are felt. Furthermore him being an orphan leaves room for his parents to be Uchiha. In context of the show, not telling someone who there parents are isn't that extreme. Naruto didn't even know about Minato for a long time, and he wasn't in the foundation. Im doubting you read the post. And there is room for theory here your just saying what you think you know. be critical

Sai was an orphan. He only had the person he believed to be Shin's brother. Besides, Sai was sincere, direct and cool in personality. He would not broadcast soybeans on the Uchiha, because he did not hate anyone. And in Uchiha, hatred was born easily as Tobirama Senju explained it;)

Is Vivi's Peacock Slasher based on a real life weapon?
Princess Vivi is a former member of Baroque Works with the code name Miss Wednesday.
She fights using her weapons, the Peacock Slasher.
Her weapons can easily cut off human heads, as we can see when she cut off Crocodile's head (even though it's because he is a sandman).
I want to know whether the Peacock Slasher is based on a real life weapon or not.

The closest I can think of is this weapon used by ninjas.

The kyoketsu-shoge or rope-and-dagger weapon is one of the Ninja's
  unique specialty weapons.

This should be the inspiration for Peacock Slasher.

Who is this character in One Punch Man?
So I keep seeing a lot of this image:

I recognise Saitama on the left, but who is the girl on the right? I don't believe I've seen her in One Punch Man at all, yet here she's potrayed like a main character/rival.

She's Natsuno Himiko, from the one-shot Dangan Tenshi Fan Club, from same author and artist from One Punch Man.
So, sadly, she won't appear in One Punch Man.

The girl is Natsuno Himiko. She and Saitama are in the same universe, just that unlike the average superheroes who made their powers, she won powers because the gods gave her. Their duty is to protect the Earth from extraterrestrial invasions and demons.
It is believed that a fight between the Battle Angel Himiko and Saitama would destroy the earth, and cause terrible consequences in space-time. The reason is, weapons of Himiko are divine. They are not linked to physical attacks, are attacks of a spiritual nature, their guns are not like those of Genos, do not throw fire or fatal bullets.
In essence, Himiko is among the few heroes with divine powers, meaning that she could be a threat Kami level in the Universe Saitama.

How many transformations does Chopper have after time skip?
At first, Chopper said that he can transform into 7 different forms using his Rumble Ball:

Brain Point
Heavy Point
Jump Point
Guard Point
Horn Point
Walk Point
Arm Point

By the time, he also has Monster Point by eating three Rumble Balls at once.
After time skip, he can also transform into his Kung Fu Point. I've so far seen Guard, Brain, Walk, Heavy, Horn, and Monster Point after time skip,
but I think I haven't or have yet to see Chopper transform into his other forms.
Is Chopper have shown to transform into his Arm Point or Jump Point after the time skip?
And is the Kung Fu Point his only new transformation?

As of now, the transformations you mentioned are the only ones that have been shown in the Manga/Anime and any information about him having a new transformation has not yet been revealed, or even hinted at (although it's quite likely).
As per One Piece wiki

It seems that Kung Fu Point combines the power of Arm Point and the acrobatic skill of Jumping Point though to a lesser degree than each individual point. In this form Chopper has been shown to possess enough strength to easily break down giant steel doors.

This may explain why we haven't seen Arm Point or Jump Point after the timeskip.
We haven't seen new transformations of Chopper (except for Kung Fu Point) after the timeskip, but we can note his improvement as:

Chopper is now able to produce a new "Horn Point" with larger "Stag Beetle" like antlers which are useful for digging in the ground at high speeds, along with a new and improved "Guard Point" which is now able to grow big and strong enough to protect the Thousand Sunny from one of the Kraken's tentacle's. In addition, he is able to utilize those forms without consuming a Rumble Ball; instead, eating a Rumble Ball now allows him to enter his most powerful form, Monster Point, and fight in it for three minutes.
After the timeskip, Chopper has gained the ability to keep control of
  himself and communicate coherently while in his monster form though
  his voice is significantly deeper.

whoaa... Never notice that Kung Fu Point are Arm Point and Jump Point combined! thanks for your information

Did Whitebeard know where the One Piece is located?
Whitebeard and Gol D. Roger were friends, they were shown chatting with each other, Roger even told Whitebeard that his name really is Gol D. Roger and not Gold Roger. Whitebeard said before his death that the One Piece is real, did he know that from Roger? And did he know where the One Piece is?

All we know about it is from Chapter 576 (Episode 485) just in the scene you mentioned:

In a flashback Roger offered Whitebeard to reveals him how to reach Raftel (the supposed location of One Piece), but he replied he was not interested in going there.

So Whitebeard had the opportunity to know where One Piece but his reply to Roger's offer we don't know if he was told the location or not. The One Piece was probably the object of their conversation right before Roger's offer (It seems that Roger has just finished to talk about his adventure): so it seems that Whitebeard was told about One Piece directly by Roger, even if it was never shown explicitly.

whoa... I'm not really noticing about Raftel that Gol D. Roger mention :D
and, do you know the reason why Whitebeard not interesting to go to Raftel?

@JTR Whitebeard declined the offer because his true interest was in achieving his dream of a "family" of crew members and not the One Piece: https://i.sstatic.net/8djGX.png

aaah.. yes, I remember now, thanks for all your answer guys
