[ { "body": "\n\nAlthough never explicitly mentioned here's a possible explanation. Before that\nhowever, there are a couple things to consider.\n\n * Firstly, the cost/consequence of using either technique leads the caster's sharingan to loose its light immidiately\n * Secondly, Both techniques enable users to change reality. In the case of [Izanagi](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Izanagi), the illusion is applied onto reality itself. While in the case of [Izanami](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Izanami), the caster is able to put an individual in an almost sentient never ending illusion which becomes the reality of the opponent, continiously, until some trigger is met. (i.e the opponent either changes their ways or is trapped in an eternal loop)\n\nNow the point I'm trying to make here is that I believe that the Izanami is a\nvariation of the Izanagi which attempts to save a person by creating a\nrepeating loop of specific events until some criteria is met. Thinking about\nit in the broad sense it still classifies as changing reality but only for the\nopponent because it will always work regardless of the opponents 5 senses,\neven if they know its an illusion.\n\nSo yea I believe she is the creator of Izanami, nevertheless, considering the\nsimilarities both have. It seems to me that she creatively used the Izanagi to\nsuch a degree that was completely unthought of (using it to help an individual\nchange and thus creating a variation of the izanagi to stop the izanagi hence\nthe izanami).\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-10-18T03:19:59.120", "id": "60837", "last_activity_date": "2020-10-18T03:19:59.120", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "42685", "parent_id": "59769", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nIt's going to be tough answering this for all possibilities, and if there's\nany information on why Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear in particular did it then it will\nbe hard to find and in Japanese, but as a broad answer it's because any anime\nadaptation will have two audiences:\n\n 1. The people who are familiar with the original work; and\n\n 2. The people who aren't.\n\nThe people who already know the original work usually already have an\nemotional investment in the show, and are likely to watch it up until it\nproves itself a bad adaptation. Of course, as you've already found, this can\nhappen quite quickly if you have certain expectations of the show that aren't\nimmediately met, but fans will tend to stick around for at least a little bit.\n\nThe people who don't know the original work need a reason to be interested,\nand the production group responsible for making it may choose to start the\nstory _in media res_ if they think the pacing of the original work's start is\ntoo slow, or awkward, or otherwise isn't going to draw the audience in enough.\nThis can be particularly important for a seasonal show that might only have 13\nepisodes and no guarantee of a second season, because the people making the\nanime are going to want to (a) have the audience interested enough in the show\nto stick it out to the end of the season, and (b) make the season finale\nexciting enough to generate hype for a potential second season. That second\npart might mean that they're going to have to jump quite heavily through the\nsource material to get to some kind of epic climax, and so working backwards\nthey may not have the luxury of spending a lot of episodes covering the entire\nintroduction of the setting and characters.\n\nIs it the right decision? It's hard to say. Plenty of shows just play it\nstraight with the source material, and others do their own thing. It just\nhappens that KKKB has gone for this particular choice, for whatever reason.\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-10-11T22:27:33.343", "id": "59788", "last_activity_date": "2020-10-11T22:27:33.343", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "8843", "parent_id": "59772", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\n**\" -P\" is a suffix** that a person can attach to the end of someone's name\n**to indicate closeness, familiarity, and affection**. These suffixes are all\ncalled [\"honorifics\" in\nEnglish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_honorifics) but are called\n「呼び方」 ( _yobikata_ ) (or far less commonly, 「呼ばせ方」 [ _yobasekata_ ]), which\nmean \"how to call (someone/something)\" in Japanese. \"-P\" is one of the\nexamples like the far more common \"- _chan_ \" that do not signify respect and\nhonor (like the standard \"- _san_ \" or the more formal \"- _sama_ \"), so these\naffectionate suffix kinds of _yobikata_ are called 「愛称」( _aisho_ ), which\nmeans \"affectionate nickname.\" (In Japanese, these suffixes are not attached\nwith a dash; the name runs right into the suffix like 「美奈P」[MinaP] or\nMakoto's「まこちゃん」[Makochan]. The dash when writing in romaji sets off a suffix\nfrom a name for non-native Japanese language learners to be able to identify\nwhere the name or abbreviated nickname ends and the suffix begins.)\n\nJapanese people use _yobikata_ almost all the time to everyone they know, from\nfamily members up to the highest elite person (a person trying to be cutesy\ncan even attach one to his/her own name, which Minako does in certain\nmoments). To avoid attaching a suffix to someone's name is to do 「呼び捨て」(\n_yobisute_ ), meaning to \"throw out how-to-call-someone,\" and should only be\ndone through consent by both parties and indicates a high level of closeness\nor conveys a lack of respect (for example, the times when Rei calls Usagi\nwithout a suffix, or when Usagi calls Chibi-usa without a suffix).\n\nCharacters usually use _yobikata_ for each other, most of the cases are the\ncommon \"- _chan_ ,\" (Usagi- _chan_ , Ami- _chan_ , Rei- _chan_ , Mako- _chan_\n, Minako- _chan_ , Mamo- _chan_ , Chibi-usa- _chan_ , etc.) and are sometimes\nused for the sailor _senshi_ forms ([V-\n_chan_](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%84%9B%E9%87%8E%E7%BE%8E%E5%A5%88%E5%AD%90#%E4%BA%BA%E7%89%A9),\nVenus- _chan_ , etc.). \"-P\" is a rather uncommon suffix in Japanese culture; I\nhave lived in Japan for years and never heard someone use it (though,\nadmittedly, I don't spend time at Japanese high schools). In contrast, \"-\n_chan_ \" is everywhere in society.\n\nIt should be noted that this \"-P\" suffix is **a wholly different \"-P\" suffix**\nthan the [\"-P\" suffix used to abbreviate the word 「プロデューサー」( _purodyuusaa_ =\nproducer)](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/65401/what-does-the-\nletter-p-at-the-end-of-an-authors-pseudonym-mean) in arenas such as the\nvocaloid industry. In _Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon_ , [the civilian disguise\nform of Sailor Iron Mouse, Nezu\nChuuko](https://wikimoon.org/index.php/Sailor_Iron_Mouse), who works for\n_Ginga Terebi_ (Galaxy TV), is called \"Nezu- _purodyuusaa_ ,\" never called\n\"Nezu-P.\"\n\nAs you note, the only two within the series to receive the \"-P\" suffix are\nMinako and Luna-P. **One reason for each case overlap, but there are two\npoints of difference.**\n\nWhen Sailor V(enus) first appears, she is a **mysterious, unknown, admired\nenigma** to Usagi and the other others. However, over time, they get to know\nMinako. While Usagi loves all of her friends deeply, she comes to feel **a\nparticularly special bond** with Minako because she **views Minako as more\nlike herself than the others**. (In the early manga and anime, in what ways\nMinako is more similar to Usagi than Makoto is to Usagi or than Rei is to\nUsagi is not so clear but, as the series goes along, they are portrayed as a\nkind of kindred combo. This **kindred affinity** is portrayed in the anime as\nwell [for example, chasing after Haruka- _san_ or lamenting failing a class],\nbut in the anime the Usagi-and-Rei relationship is portrayed more centrally.)\nBecause Usagi feels a more special bond with Minako, she calls her\n[\"Mina-P,\"](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%84%9B%E9%87%8E%E7%BE%8E%E5%A5%88%E5%AD%90#%E4%BA%BA%E7%89%A9)\na suffix she doesn't use for anyone else.\n\nAs this [Sailor Moon blogger](http://pgsmoon.blog.fc2.com/blog-\ndate-20150916.html) explains,\n\n> うさぎちゃんの「美奈P」の呼び方が一番好きです。 うさぎちゃんと美奈子ちゃんの仲良しっぷりが感じられて。\n> このお互いの名前の呼び方って人間関係や、本人の性格が出ているようで 大切なポイントだと私は思ってます。たまに変わったりするけども (ﾟAﾟ;)\n\nTranslated: \"What I love the most is how Usagi calls Minako 'Mina-P.' You can\nfeel how close of friends they are. What they call each other is an important\npoint that shows human relationships and their personalities. Though they\nchange it up once in a while. (ﾟAﾟ;)\" [translation mine]\n\nIn contrast, the suffix serves **three purposes** for [Luna-P, Chibi-usa's cat\nface ball device](https://sailormoon.fandom.com/wiki/Luna-P).\n\nOne reason is the same: to demonstrate that [Chibi-usa considers this device\nher **close friend**](https://wikimoon.org/index.php/Luna_P).\n\nSecondly, the \"-P\" suffix in Luna-P's name is **onomatopoeia** , (in Japanese,\n「擬音語」[ _giongo_ ]). 「ピ」( _pi_ ) or, usually in repetition, such as[「ピピピピピ」(\n_pipipipipi_ ), is a Japanese sound effect that means \"beep beep\nbeep.\"](https://www.japanpowered.com/anime-articles/manga-sound-effect-guide)\nThis sound effect often appears in the manga, and Luna-P itself only ever\ncommunicates in **beeps** rather than words (excluding transmitting voice chat\nbetween Chibi-usa and Puu). Luna-P is a beeping device, so the sound of the\npronounced \"-P\" suffix here additionally conveys the electronic nature of the\nitem.\n\nThirdly, other characters adopt calling this device \"Luna-P\" even though they\ndo **not feel that personal affection** toward it, most likely because to\nspeak of it with _yobisute_ would simply be to say the name \"Luna\" \\- the name\nof a different prominent character who is always referred to and addressed\nwith _yobisute_ \\- and thereby **possibly confusing**.\n\n", "comment_count": 4, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-10-16T22:22:11.437", "id": "60823", "last_activity_date": "2020-10-16T22:43:26.653", "last_edit_date": "2020-10-16T22:43:26.653", "last_editor_user_id": "8134", "owner_user_id": "8134", "parent_id": "60817", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nI would like to make it clear in the beginning that I am going to be\npresenting my answer on the basis of English dubbed version of the movie of\n‘Howl’s moving Castle.'\n\nSophie and Howl both had reasons to dislike the Witch of the Waste. Sophie\ndespised the Witch of the Waste because she had put a spell on her that turned\nher into an extremely old woman. Her anger was quite prominent when she was\nunable to tell the truth about her spell and thumped her hands on the dining\ntable and exclaimed, “If I ever get my hands on that Witch, I’m gonna wring\nher fat neck.”[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/zQADV.jpg)\n\nHowl, on the other hand, was scared of The Witch of the Waste as she kept on\nhunting him down. He had explained the reason of this hunt to Sophie that,\n“she was once quite beautiful, so I decided to pursue her then I realized she\nwasn’t, so as usual I ran away,” therefore, he did not want to confront\nher.[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/yYt1G.jpg)\n\nNow it makes sense to find it a bit strange and confusing as to why these two\ncharacters had a change of heart and accepted her. Well, there are some of the\nfollowing factors behind this.\n\nBeginning with Sophie, as she was the one who had initiated the acceptance.\nAfter becoming an old lady, the first time she had met the Witch of the Waste\nwas while going to the palace. Sophie did not wring her neck as she had\nexclaimed before because she was under the disguise of Howl’s mother and was\ntrying to save Howl from going to the war. During the talk with madam Suliman\nin the palace, the Witch of the Waste was sucked out from all her powers,\nrestored to her true old age and was brought sitting on a stroller into the\nhall of discussion.[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/AnJPy.jpg)\nSophie then realized the wicked intent of the invitations to the wizards by\nmadam Suliman. When the Howl also entered in the hall and their disguise blew\nup, they flew away.\n\nSophie allowed the Witch to sit with them because of two reasons-\n\nThe Witch is now ripped off from all of her powers and has met her karma for\nher evil deeds. So, there is no need for Sophie wanting to take revenge on\nher. It is also made clear by the dialogue of madam Suliman that the Witch of\nthe Waste was never evil from the beginning and she states, “Once she too was\na magnificent sorcerer with so much promise, but then she fell to the prey of\ndemon of greed who slowly consumed her body and soul. Hypothetically, it could\nbe the similar type of contract as that of Howl’s with a demon but she might\nhave unfortunately met a corrupt demon which then led to her demise. Secondly,\nSophie has a kind heart and a forgiving nature. She knows how to move on from\nthings and it is prominent in the manner she has managed and accepted to live\ninside the body of an old lady. Similarly, when she was overwhelmed and cried\noutside the castle, she maturely calms herself down and comes back to check\nupon Howl. These reasons suffice as to why Sophie spared the Witch of the\nWaste and didn't hold any grudge against her.\n\nHowl, on the other hand, goes along with the decision of Sophie. He has asked\nSophie when they flew away from the palace, “did you have to bring those two\nwith you?” and Sophie shows her annoyance to the dog first and not to the\nWitch of the Waste and replies with “I can’t believe you work for Suliman. I\nguess it’s too late to toss them.” Howl shows indifference to this situation.\nThey both then decide to let them flee away with them.[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/WzQa1.jpg)\nLater on in the movie, due to the ongoing tension there was no time for them\nto talk over this issue again. The Witch is weak now; therefore, Howl seems to\nhave no reason to fear from her anymore. Apart from this, he didn’t have any\nother ground to dislike her. In the ending part of the movie the loving nature\nof Sophie again appears as she hugs the Witch to make her let go off Calcifer\nfrom her hands implying in a way that she has accepted the Witch of the Waste\nas she is. There was no direct dialogue which elaborated that the Witch of the\nWaste had repented but it is implied through implicit actions, gestures that\nshe didn’t intend to deeply hurt anyone. She has instead helped them by\ngetting rid of the peeping bug which is sent by madam Suliman through Sophie’s\nmother.[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/ldCYN.png)\nShe even said, “I will never let Suliman get hold off Howl.” It could be both\nbecause she was possessive about Howl and had genuinely started to take care\nof him. Moreover, The Witch didn’t possess either any strong detestable traits\nor performed gruesome acts that would make it hard for Howl and Sophie to not\nforgive her. Afterwards, she was portrayed as a fun loving and flirty type of\nwomen. Hence, they both spared her and at the end accepted her as a part of\nthe family as she was shown sitting in the balcony of the castle where the dog\nand Markl were playing.[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/lLeDd.jpg)\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2023-02-04T10:06:08.693", "id": "67746", "last_activity_date": "2023-02-04T10:06:08.693", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "71162", "parent_id": "60833", "post_type": "answer", "score": 3 } ]

The Naruto series featured the \"[Sexy\nTechnique/Jutsu](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Sexy_Technique)\" (link may be\nslightly NSFW), where the main character assumes the form of a scantily clad\nor even naked woman (with the key parts obscured).\n\nEvangelion was almost certainly using it as a tease to boost viewership, since\nthe original TV series really didn't push those limits very much (if anything,\nthe series revolves around how timid the main characters are with each other).\nThe movie _End of Evangelion_ , oddly enough, went the other way with scenes\nlike\n\n> a dying Misato kissing Shinji as a lover and remarking they can \"do the rest\n> later\".\n\nThe Rebuild Evangelion movies have been even more racy with\n\n> Shinji entering Rei's apartment to return something to her. He winds up\n> knocking over a very naked Rei and falling on her in such a way as to avoid\n> showing anything.\n\n# Is it considered good?\n\nIt depends. Kotaku reviewed [No Game No Life](https://kotaku.com/no-game-no-\nlife-is-a-must-watch-for-any-gamer-1596865091) and noted this\n\n> Shiro is 11 years old in No Game No Life.

For instance, in either episode\n344 or 345, a Zetsu says,\n\n> \"We're the ones who don't want to be compared to you. Both our vocabulary\n> and mental acuity are higher than yours.\"\n\nIf such an attitude is not addressed, or perhaps even encouraged and\ncultivated, it could naturally progress into a kind of racism, which would be\nconsidered a negative emotion, or at least something that causes negative\nemotions. Seeing the Allied Shinobi Forces then being able to so thoroughly\ndefeat their fellow superior beings, as they did, could cause a whole lot of\nbloodlust, as it would be an attack on their worldview of their superiority.\n\nI can't fully answer how Naruto is able to differentiate the hatred, but I\nthink if we consider the types of battles disguised White Zetsu were in, the\nallied Shinobi may not be feeling bloodlust, but rather confusion, since\nthey're fighting their comrades at that moment. Meanwhile, White Zetsu\ndefinitely wants to kill them. I'm not sure if this accounts for everything as\nI don't remember every instance where White Zetsu appeared, and honestly I\nthink it's a bit of an error, but this is the best I can do here.\n\nLastly, on the question of whether White Zetsu has negative emotion, we can\nsee clear signs of negative emotion in the White Zetsu abomination that\nappears in _Boruto_.

[ { "body": "\n\n## Unlikely.\n\nProbably not the answer you're looking for but I also haven't watched every\nsingle historic feudal Japan anime so I can not definitely say for certain it\ndoesn't exist.\n\nAuthors and script writers write for a modern audience who understand best a\nmodern, living language. So it's rather unlikely that the majority of a work\nbe entirely or heavily in an archaic language. Even for English, how many\nmodern TVs or cartoons can you find that make heavy use of Modern English or\nbetter, Old English? I certainly cannot think of any aside from works inspired\ndirectly from classic works (Shakespeare, as mentioned, is a prime example).\n\nThere's a limit to how much archaic dialogue you give your characters. At\nbest, characters are given occasional language quarks to remind the viewer of\nthe setting but any more and you would lose the audience (or at least\ntransform a light easily readable manga into a in depth literature analysis).\n\nWhile I agree it would totally cool if there existed historical correct voice\nacting in anime or even manga written in ancient scripts, the appeal of these\nworks is quite limited (think of the translation work for even the native\nspeakers !)\n\nI would also like to point out even within modern Japanese, people of\ndifferent ages and regions speak very differently (not representative of voice\nactors in anime). While Kyoto used to be the capital of Japan, not Edo, even\nthe current Kansai dialect differs from a historic accent.

[ { "body": "\n\nSeeing as the Virtual Novel for Steins;Gate 0 had not come out during the\nproduction of Steins;gate, I would assume the production team would not have\nincluded Amadeus into Steins gate.\n\nBut to further answer your question Okabe is not an all-knowing entity in\nthat, he knows all timelines, but more that he remembers all actions taken by\nhimself after he has made a new jump using the PhoneWave. Okabe has no\nmemories of what happens to the Okabe he leaves behind after he decides to use\nthe PhoneWave to jump forward or backward in time. He only follows the\nreaction to the PhoneWave so technically his consciousness follows the\ntimeline of the messages in the PhoneWave.\n\nIn simpler terms, the Destination of the messages from the PhoneWave becomes\nthe destination of his mind because he only follows the change in the\ntimeline.\n\nSo when he decides it's hopeless to save Kurisu the consciousness of\nOkabe(Steins;Gate) then leaves to follow the line of the PhoneWave so the\nOkabe(Steins;Gate 0) is then left to his own devices separated from\nOkabe(Steins;Gate)\n\nAlthough future Okabe(Steins;Gate 0) seems to no longer have the special\nability to follow timelines seeing as he doesn't follow the timeline back when\nhe sends the video back with Hashida's daughter, Suzuha. But this could be\nexplained seeing as he did not use the PhoneWave to message his old self but\ninstead had someone else go back to try and change things.\n\nI hope this answers your question. I am no philosopher but I do hope that this\nmessage is concise and accurate. If I am wrong, I'm sure someone will find a\nway to points out the flaws in my interpretation.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-12-23T03:37:45.380", "id": "61356", "last_activity_date": "2020-12-23T03:37:45.380", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "57848", "parent_id": "61349", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

In fact, pretty much all\nfan merch (including fanart) is technically illegal or at least in a legal\ngray area - there is little preventing companies with copyright ownership from\nstriking down on such things, other than bad publicity.\n\nThat said, there is a general unspoken agreement, especially for Japanese\nanime and manga, that companies will turn a blind eye to small-scale\noperations* (like doujinshi, or some con-goer selling a few dozen postcards of\nfanart), as those will mostly help spread word-of-mouth and generally cannot\nserve to meaningfully replace official tat.\n\nProblems occur with:\n\n 1. Large-scale operations\n 2. Unofficial merch with official art\n 3. When someone explicitly seeks permission from the copyright holder.\n\n1 should be obvious - large scale operations, particularly of merch (less so\nwith doujinshi or fanfiction, insofar as they can be \"large-scale\"), may\nsignificantly threaten the profits of the copyright holder by replacing their\nown merch of the same type.\n\n2, in addition to more flagrant infringement, has the possibility of fooling\npeople into thinking that they are official.\n\n3 is a bit complicated - if the copyright holder gives explicit permission\nwithout a license, even to a pure-intentioned fan, apparently it may weaken\ntheir legal position when an actually problematic copyright infringement issue\noccurs. Thus, upon such inquiries, companies are often forced to make a public\nstatement that selling fan creations are not allowed - which has caused\ncancellations of multiple single-work conventions.\n\nIn short, technically you do need a license (and I don't expect Kodansha or\nsuch to give out licenses to individual fans), but practically companies will\ntypically not bother fans selling fan art pins or such merch in a small scale\n- although as with all unspoken rules, YMMV.\n\nHowever, if you plan on using official art or sell on an industrial level, you\nmay find yourself in some trouble.\n\n*As an aside, this legal limbo is part of why you will often find unscrupulous merchants stealing fanart and slapping them on their merch to brazenly sell online or at cons - their dubious legal position makes artists hesitant to seek recourse.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-12-23T02:35:17.980", "id": "61355", "last_activity_date": "2020-12-23T05:44:20.607", "last_edit_date": "2020-12-23T05:44:20.607", "last_editor_user_id": "57846", "owner_user_id": "57846", "parent_id": "61351", "post_type": "answer", "score": 10 } ]
