I mean, he sure can\nimagine himself being petted by Giovanni as Persian, since its evolved form is\nsurely better than Meowth itself, so it's clear why Giovanni would want\nPersian over Meowth, and Meowth should know that even so he doesn't imagine\nhimself evolving, so that means he can't evolve from some reason?\n\nI have a pretty good theory for an answer but I would be happy for a more\nsourceable answer if anyone has.\n\n", "comment_count": 4, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-01-17T01:26:01.663", "favorite_count": 0, "id": "56495", "last_activity_date": "2021-07-06T17:49:44.353", "last_edit_date": "2020-01-17T11:01:55.863", "last_editor_user_id": "35679", "owner_user_id": "51620", "post_type": "question", "score": 4, "tags": [ "pokemon" ], "title": "Why hasn't Team Rocket's Meowth evolved?", "view_count": 4061 }

Because Meowth never fights, he never earns any experience, and\ntherefore he can never evolve.\n\nI _guess_ Team Rocket could just stuff him full of Rare Candies until he\nevolves into Persian, but that then raises the question of where they would\nget all those Rare Candies from, as they're consistently shown to be short on\nfunds.\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-01-17T10:21:42.213", "id": "56497", "last_activity_date": "2020-01-17T10:21:42.213", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "35679", "parent_id": "56495", "post_type": "answer", "score": 3 }, { "body": "\n\nIn different view to F1Krazy's answer, I would like to point out that\n[evolution](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Evolution#In_the_anime)\nhas shown to work differently in the anime it does in the games.\n\n * There is no apparent leveling system in the anime, so it doesn't make sense for Meowth to have \"acquired enough experience\" for him to evolve.\n\n * Trade-evolutions are also shown being handled different, as with Misty's Poliwhirl evolving into Politoed _without_ the trade requirement; although a King's Rock as still involved.\n\nWith that said, [Team Rocket's\nMeowth](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Meowth_\\(Team_Rocket\\)=) has\nnot evolved into Persian for two reason:\n\n**1\\. Meowth despises Persian**\n\nThere are two instances in the anime to which Meowth has shown a great dislike\nfor Persian:\n\n * The first instance is poke-love [Meowzie](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Meowzie). This love is what lead Meowth to be more human like and taught himself to speak the Human language, as Meowzie preferred Humans. Long story short, Meowzie rejected him and went to a Persian who took her in under his care.\n\n * The second instance is Giovanni's Persian. As you stated, Meowth fantasizes himself being petting by Giovanni as a Meowth and not as a Persian. Meowth's jealous nature wants himself to be \"Top Cat\" and wants to be in this position as a Meowth and not Persian. This dislike towards Giovanni's Persian is related to an already dislike to Persian's as a whole\n\n**2\\. Meowth chooses not to evolve**\n\nIt has been shown in the anime is that **Pokémon can choose not to evolve** ,\neven if it were to be a level-based evolution in the games. A key example is\n[Ash's Bulbasuar](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ash%27s_Bulbasaur).\nIn the episode [Bulbasaur's Mysterious\nGarden](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/EP051), this shows a special\nfestival that supports Bulbasuars evolving into Ivysaurs. Throughout the\nentirety of this episode, Ash's Bulbasuar is shown resisting the evolution\nprocess.\n\nIn earlier episodes, [Island of the Giant\nPokémon](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/EP017) and [The Ghost of\nMaiden's Peak](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/EP020), it is shown\nthat Bulbasuar has a fear of Venusaur, and thus does not want to become one.\nThis supports Meowth's choice of not evolving into Persian due to the dislike\nof it's evolutionary forms\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-01-17T15:25:10.643", "id": "56498", "last_activity_date": "2021-07-05T12:48:02.553", "last_edit_date": "2021-07-05T12:48:02.553", "last_editor_user_id": "20275", "owner_user_id": "20275", "parent_id": "56495", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 }, { "body": "\n\nThis is because Team Rocket's Meowth is a Gigantamax Meowth.

This means she had to grow and\ncultivate that horn to use her power ; in other words, Rewind needs to\nstockpile _something_ to function.\n\nSince Neito Monoma's copied Quirks can only for only 10 minutes at most, he\nabsolutely does not have the time to stockpile whatever Eri needs to activate\nher Quirk.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-05-12T17:31:56.300", "id": "57528", "last_activity_date": "2020-05-12T17:31:56.300", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "45633", "parent_id": "56546", "post_type": "answer", "score": 3 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nI feel the following reasons make Shinigami more suited for killing humans\nthan humans themselves:\n\n 1. **Possession of Shinigami Eyes**\n\nThe name of the person to be killed is an essential piece of information.\nHumans naturally do not possess the ability to find this crucial detail\n(Exception: Beyond Birthday from _Death Note: Another Note_ ), unlike\nShinigami who can see the names of all humans. Of course, humans can obtain\nthis ability as well, but that would require trading half their remaining\nlifespan for it. And unlike Shinigami, they cannot extend their lifespan to\nmake up for it in any way. This brings me to my next point.\n\n 2. **Ability to Extend Life**\n\nBy killing a human using a Death Note, Shinigami gain the remaining lifespan\nof that human. But a human's lifespan remains unaffected by killing another\nhuman using the Death Note. By gaining more time to live, Shinigami also gain\nmore time to kill. So what's so special about a longer life? After all, can't\nhumans that die just be replaced by other humans? I will use an analogy to\nexplain why a being with a longer life will be more beneficial for this\npurpose. Suppose a certain firm sets up a factory to manufacture a particular\nproduct that is extremely essential and will always be in demand. Should the\nfirm prefer short term employees or long term employees? If you ask me, I'd\nsay long term employees. Simply because by repeating the process over and over\nthey'd get more efficient at it and also learn to solve any kind of issues\nthat arise. Replacing short term employees will not only require training the\nnew employees, but will also result in slower work and greater chances of\nerror. Short term employees will be preferred in a situation where the\nmanufacturing is only required for a short term or if it is required to\nintroduce innovation in the manufacturing process by application of knowledge\nfrom other domains. But humans will most likely live for a long time and there\nis really no scope for innovation in writing a name on a piece of paper (the\nmethod/time of killing is irrelevant to a Shinigami unlike for humans, which I\nwill discuss in the next point). This is why Shinigami with extendable\nlifespan are preferable.\n\nIn addition, a Shinigami getting the remaining lifespan of the humans he/she\nkills is an incentive to kill. A human cannot extend his/her lifespan by\nkilling another human using a Death Note. So God can't expect an uninterested\nhuman to kill for him. On the other hand, even if uninterested, a Shinigami\nwould tend to kill for the mere reason of extending his/her lifespan.\n\n 3. **Indifference to Humans** _(Although this point is not about the difference in species as per your request.)_\n\nA Shinigami living in the Shinigami realm hardly has any chances to be biased\ntowards/against a particular human, or a group thereof. On the other hand, a\nhuman residing in the human realm is very likely to have such a bias. This\nbias coupled with the power of the Death Note can possibly create an imbalance\nin the human realm. For example, an imbalance could have possibly resulted due\nto the actions of Kyosuke Higuchi from the Yotsuba Group. If he wasn't caught,\nYotsuba might have become a monopoly and eventually infiltrated governments\ngiving a lot of power to a single person. Humans in general would definitely\ncrave for power in the human world. But I don't see a reason for a Shinigami\nto crave for power in the human world. And a Death Note in the hands of a\nShinigami will not give him/her any sort of power in the Shinigami realm.\nTheir indifference to humans and lack of interest in the human realm help them\nremain unbiased in most cases.\n\nMoreover, possible bias by Shinigami towards humans is even discouraged as\nShinigami that kill to save a particular human, or a group thereof, turn into\nash and die.\n\nThis point is also the reason why giving the powers/abilities mentioned in the\nabove two points to humans will still be an inferior choice. Even if humans\nget the ability to see the names of all humans and extend their lifespan by\nkilling other humans using the Death Note, the bias will remain, increasing\nthe chances of creating an imbalance in the human realm.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2022-06-25T11:42:41.330", "id": "66948", "last_activity_date": "2022-06-25T11:42:41.330", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "30611", "parent_id": "56568", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

He becomes more\nand more sure that he knows how the world should be run, and takes steps to\nsolidify his control. When he finally does lose in the end, he doesn't go down\ngracefully. He screams, blames his allies, hurls insults, and tries to kill\none last person with the scrap of Death Note hidden in his watch before being\nshot by Matsuda and then finally killed off by Ryuk.\n\nThere was definitely something in Light's personality that made him think his\nwill should be imposed on the world. There was definitely an arrogance that\nmade him think he was morally superior enough to start killing people to\nachieve his goals. But without the Death Note, he would never have had the\ntools to do what he did. So in that sense, the Death Note made him a murderer;\nwith the tool for easy, consequence-free murder in front of him, he went right\nahead and used it. The way he thinks about what he's doing seems to shift as\nthings go on. Murder becomes less and less of an issue for him, and he shifts\nfrom murdering only criminals to murdering just about anyone who gets in his\nway, including his own father. And that too probably wouldn't have happened\nwithout the Death Note. The Death Note made murdering easy, convenient, and\nconsequence-free (or so he thought, since he believed he could outwit anyone\nwho came after him). He already looked down on other people. In his most\ncharitable moments he thought of them as poor benighted fools who needed his\nprotection. Usually he thought of them more as either pawns he could\nmanipulate or roadblocks to be destroyed, and he shifts more and more to that\nway of thinking as the series goes on. So as he commits more and more murders,\nthe idea of committing one more, of killing one more disposable inferior\nhuman, barely registers as a concern. So he kept murdering, and got in too\ndeep.\n\nBut at the moment L started coming after him, Light could have decided it\nwasn't worth the risk and stopped using the Death Note. He didn't, because his\narrogance would never allow him to admit defeat. When L pulls the trick with\nLind L. Tailor and gets Light to kill his double on a global TV broadcast,\nLight doesn't get spooked and back down and sink into obscurity. He ramps up,\ndeclaring war on L, and that spirals out into everything else that happens\nafter that point. So his personality, his arrogance, pushed him into the\nsituation where he had to kill more and more people to stay ahead. That's all\non Light; the Death Note didn't make him do it.\n\n", "comment_count": 3, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-04-09T00:45:24.937", "id": "57195", "last_activity_date": "2020-04-09T00:45:24.937", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "7579", "parent_id": "56645", "post_type": "answer", "score": 3 } ]

Every character who has been able\nto hurt him or impede him in some way have been connected to his native\nunderworld.\n\n**Asta** used anti-magic to negate his attacks and slash through his magic-\nenhanced defenses. His anti-magic powers stem directly from an unnamed demon,\nso it stands to reason that Asta can hurt Zagred.\n\n**Yuno** exploited Zagred's magic emissions to enhance his own wind spells and\nattune them to the Kotodama Magic's \"wavelength\". He basically used Zagred's\nown power against himself.\n\n**Lemiel, Patolli and Licht** were able to hurt Zagred because they were all\ntainted in some way by underworld magic. Lemiel had been sealed by a demonic\nspell from Secre, and both Patolli and Licht had been resurrected by the\ndemon's spell. Their corruption allowed them to strike at Zagred.\n\n**Yami** 's Dark Magic is known to be linked to the Underworld.

If not, you can also try an Inter-Library loan for physical anime media (DVD/BlueRay/4K). Check with your local library to see what your options are.\n * **Your Local store that sells DVDs/Movies** \\-- Big chain electronics stores (like BestBuy) or Big Chain General Merchandise stores (like Target) may sell physical anime media (DVD/BlueRay/4K) in store or online.\n * **Your local/online Japan merchandise store** These places may have physical anime media (DVD/BlueRay/4K). There are a lot of websites that sell anime; try googling some.\n * **Anime Conventions** \\-- You can find physical anime media (DVD/BlueRay/4K) here too, but this is not the most accessible option due to possible need to travel and inflated prices.\n\nThe reason that I also suggest non-streaming options as well is because on\nmost DVD/BlueRay/4K cases (and entries in most library databases), it will say\nif it has English/Japanese audio and any available subtitles\n(English/Spanish/Chinese etc.).\n\nWith this approach though, it is hard to tell what the quality of the\nsubtitles vs English voice over will be, but it is still an option.\n\nHopefully this helps!\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-04-08T19:35:08.610", "id": "57191", "last_activity_date": "2020-04-08T19:35:08.610", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "47278", "parent_id": "56810", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

I\n> have decided to join Shiki's crew as their navigator. Shiki is a legendary\n> pirate who you could never match up to even if you stood up to him. Even if\n> you came after me you would only end up losing your lives. I will say this\n> much, promise you will come rescue me.\n\nLuffy missed to hear the last part: \" _promise you will come rescue me_ \", but\neveryone else did hear it and understood it. When trying to explain Luffy,\nhowever, Sanji made a statement which caused some confusion. It goes as\nfollows:\n\n> ... Although to me the whole thing sounded like message of love.\n\nThis led to confusion as it seemed to be wrongly interpreted that the last\npart of message implied Nami loved Luffy. I also read somewhere that Nami\nstarted to blush when Luffy started playing the Dial, but I didn't see Nami\nblushing at all (in anime, if someone blushes, their face is shown to be\nturning red, right?). She did seem to be embarrassed which seemed to be\nnormal. If I were her and someone was going to play a recording in front of\neveryone which I made when I was in a sad situation, I would definitely not\nwant him to play that because it would be embarrassing.\n\nNami knew that Luffy won't understand indirect message (she does say she\ndirected the last part specifically to Luffy since he is so dense). I think\nNami wanted to indirectly ask the crew to come and save her, but for thick-\nheaded Luffy, she explicitly added the last line. She just wanted Luffy and\nrest of crew to come and save her, there were no romantic feelings.\n\nI tried to search online if I was right about the message's intent, but\ncouldn't find proper sources.\n\nFor example, I found on\n[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Piece_Film:_Strong_World#Plot):\n\n> ...Luffy later learns that Nami's message was actually a coded SOS directed\n> at him that the crew took as a love confession...\n\nAlthough the above line mentions the crew mistook as a love confession, I\ndon't think so, I think they properly understood the intent of the message.\nAlthough, I am not sure what Sanji meant by saying the above line, but it\nseemed he did understood the real intent.\n\nAre there any sources which exactly tells the true intent of the message and\nalso if the crew (except Luffy) properly understood it?\n\n", "comment_count": 2, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-03-02T13:36:55.483", "favorite_count": 0, "id": "56917", "last_activity_date": "2021-07-14T23:29:13.243", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "25916", "post_type": "question", "score": 1, "tags": [ "one-piece" ], "title": "Nami's message in Strong World movie", "view_count": 8344 }

[ { "body": "\n\n**Xeno-Trunks most probably is quite stronger than Future Trunks.**\n\nFirst, it should be noted that the Dragon Ball Heroes continuity (from which\nXeno Trunks comes) is wildly inconsistent when it comes to scaling and power\nlevels. All battles and transformations shown are created for the sake of game\npromotion and fan-service. So every feat must be taken with a grain of salt.\nDepending on whether you use the game, the manga or the anime as a basis for\nyour comparisons, results can vary. I have chosen to rely on the **DBH anime**\nhere since I am most familiar with that source.\n\nThe **Super Saiyan 4** and **Super Saiyan Blue** are considered among fans to\nbe roughly equals. This was implicitly chosen as true by the DBH anime : in\nepisode 1, Xeno SSJ4 Goku and SSB Goku have a short skirmish, which concludes\nas a tie. Granted, their fight didn't last and they didn't go all out, but\nthis can be interpreted as the anime deciding those forms are roughly equal.\n\nMeanwhile, within the (canonical) Dragon Ball Super anime, we can see [SSB\nVegeto against Fused Zamasu](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KGI735P8ao). The\nsaiyan warrior doesn't crush Zamasu, but still handles himself fairly well. On\nthe other hand, [Future Trunks is unceremoniously blown\nback](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlV5DlYPaqw), even with an enraged power\nboost. Future Trunks only [slays Fused\nZamasu](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TbNciZE0Tw) after creating the\n[_Sword of Hope_](https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Sword_of_Hope), which is\nbasically a fortuitous Genkidama created around Future Trunks' sword. Trunks\ndoesn't know that technique, and only used it by accident in extremely\nspecific circumstances. We can conclude that **Future Trunks is weaker than\nSSB Vegeto**.\n\nNow, what about **Xeno Trunks** ? The climax of the Super Dragon Ball Heroes\nanime involves Mechikabura, the Demon King, fighting both against Xeno SSJ4\nVegeto and Super Saiyan God Trunks. As we have previously established, Xeno\nSSJ4 Vegeto should be comparable to SSB Vegeto. Moreover, Xeno SSG Trunks is\nessential in sealing Mechikabura, as he deals a crucial blow to his torso and\nallows Xeno Vegeto to conclude the battle. We can infer from this battle that\n**Xeno Trunks is stronger than Future Trunks, at least if Future Trunks\ndoesn't have the Sword of Hope.**\n\nIt should be noted, however, that SSG Xeno Trunks wielded the [_Key\nSword_](https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Key_Sword) against Mechikabura.\nThat relic was supercharged by\n[Demigra](https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Demigra),\n[Chronoa](https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Chronoa) and\n[Tokitoki](https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Tokitoki_\\(Chronoa\\)), who all\npossess god-level ki and powers. If SSG Xeno Trunks didn't have the _Key\nSword_ at that time, he probably wouldn't have fared as well against\nMechikabura.\n\nIn the end, we can only remember that **anything related to Dragon Ball Heroes\nor Dragon Ball Xenoverse is fully non-canonical** , and that their sense of\nscaling and relative power levels is fuzzy at best.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-05-12T17:20:42.397", "id": "57527", "last_activity_date": "2020-05-12T17:20:42.397", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "45633", "parent_id": "56983", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]
