You will be able to see the names even if\n> that person _isn't registered in the family registration._\n\nAs we can see along the anime/manga through images seeing by the shinigami\neyes that it depends on **which language the original name was given** , as we\nsee with Mello and Near cases that the name is in english, and as the rule\nspecifically needs you to write that name you see in the shinigami eyes, and\nthat name is the one needs to be written and not other. from this we learn -\n**you cannot translate names in the Death Note but to write the name with the\noriginal language**.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/HctMQ.jpg)\n\n_Different languages for each name - those you need to write in the Death\nNote_\n\nNow this is for name language, as for the **death details** , it might not\nevidence as others here tried to say without them, but the little evidence is\nactually the simple fact that we see Light writing the death details in\nJapanese, now as Death Note is sure is a shinigami notebook you would say that\nonly shinigami can write in it with _their own language_ (as Misa's Death Note\nfront written in their language) **but it still can be written in human\nlanguage**. _or_ you might as well come and say that since the Death Note\ntouched the human world _and belonged now to it_ (as clarified from the\nrules/Ryuk said so himself), it can be written in every human language which\nmake sense since if not _what's the point_ of belonging to the human world\n**if it cannot be used in it** , but in the shinigami world (according to this\nanswer) it is **have** to be written in shinigami language.\n\nEither way, Ryuk said he had written the rules in english because it is _the\ncommon language in the human world_ , from the way he pronounced it, it is\npossible to every human in the world to use the Death Note or he would\ndescribe the way to use it in other language, the fact that he chose the\n_common language_ states **that it works in every way**.\n\n(And the **logic** _screams it_ , as the user of the Death Note needs to\nunderstand **what he writes** , if he cannot write the language to use the\nDeath Note, what's the point _owning the Death Note_?).\n\nEvidence for this in the anime in ep5 where Light holds the pages where the\nFBI agents are written, you can see that the names are in English while the\ndeath details in Japanese.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/0hNFd.png)\n\nThe question about the last evidence is that if Ryuk knew that it doesn't\nmatter which language to write the death details but the name language **is\nmatter** , why didn't he specified the rule for the name language that it\nneeds to be in the original language? The answer is simple as the writer needs\nto know the **real name** of the person, and it is simple as that that the\nwriter needs to know the name of the person in original language so it's also\nneeds to be written in that language, and the above evidences is helping the\nsimplify of things.\n\n## Conclusion\n\n * The **names of the victims** needs to be written in the original language it is called, even if in the family registration he is called in another name. and this rule is _both for human and shinigami_ (as proven couple of times in the anime and the manga).\n * **The death details** can be written in every Death Note that had fallen to earth and belonged to it. Common sense is that the writer can write and understand his writing.\n * There is possibility though, that even if we say that shinigami would know a human language - as he needs to so he can write the names - he won't be able to **use it** in the shinigami world or either in his in the human world for death details, since the Death Note belongs to shinigami.\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2021-01-05T17:50:04.083", "id": "61511", "last_activity_date": "2021-06-01T22:47:08.120", "last_edit_date": "2021-06-01T22:47:08.120", "last_editor_user_id": "51620", "owner_user_id": "51620", "parent_id": "61384", "post_type": "answer", "score": 5 } ]

The consciousness\nis transferred to the past self instead of going back in time.\n\nTo prove the hypothesis let us take some facts into account and consider a\nscenario.\n\nFacts :\n\n 1. When Shunsuke time leaped the history would repeat itself if different actions were not taken as to previous attempt.\n 2. When an action is taken the future becomes unpredictable, however it does not affect the ability of others\n\nScenario : If Yuu didn't change the history when he time leaped the history\nwould have repeated itself where his sister dies and he would eventually meet\nShunsuke to take his time leap ability. This means that Shunsuke should have\nhis time leap irrespective of Yuu time leap ability.\n\nYuu would also have his time leap ability as the user does not loose their\nability and it was reference in anime when his eye was slashed.\n\nThe reason Shunsuke didn't time leap after Yuu got his time leap because to\nchange the future the history need to repeat itself to the point where a\nmistake was made else the whole future would be unpredictable. Since Shunsuke\ndidn't know the actions taken by Yuu if he had time leapt there was almost no\nchance to repeat the exact same history.

Lets consider the point A where Shunsuke usually time leap himself i.e. When Ayumi is 8 years old.\n 2. Lets consider the point B where Yuu take Shunsuke time leap ability\n 3. Lets consider point C when Yuu time leaps and save Ayumi.\n\nIf the history needs to repeat itself for the time leap user, there are now 2\npossible futures for Shunsuke where Ayumi dies and where she lives at point C.\nThis paradox was created because Yuu time leaped. If Shunsuke does time leap\nto point A and reach point C in time it can't be explained whether Yuu would\nhave time leap or not.\n\nI think that should be able to explain it.

Get published as a Light Novel or Webnovel, and get a manga adaptation.\n 2. Become a story writer for a manga.\n 3. Commission someone to draw your story into a manga.\n\nfor all intents and purposes, to break into 1 or 2, you will need to write in\nJapanese (or to a lesser degree, Chinese or Korean) and post your work to a\nfiction posting site like [小説家になろう](http://www.syosetu.com/) or pixiv. Ride\nthe trend (currently it would be Isekai), promote your work on the likes of\nJapanese Twitter, and with a massive amount of luck (with the tosh that gets\npublished these days, I am not sure talent is that necessary), you will rise\nabove the massive sea of LN writer hopefuls to get selected for a publishing\ndeal - and if you are even luckier and sell well, you might get a manga\nadaptation.\n\nI am not going to say it is impossible to get a manga adaptation as an English\nwriter, but Japanese publishers really have no reason to look for talent\nelsewhere when there are thousands of amateur writers committing millions of\nwords in their own language online for free hoping for that big publishing\nbreak, even at bottom barrel rates.\n\nSubmitting your work to publishers directly rather than online is of course an\noption, but that seems to have been mostly phased out for the online model.\n\nLastly, for 3, if you have plenty of money and don't care about actually\nselling your work, you can just commission an artist or (amateur or freelance)\nmangaka to draw your story (although it will likely cost you an arm and leg\nfor what is in essence a vanity project)\n\n**EDIT: this is a response to OP's comment that became far too long for its\nown good, so I am adding it here. Mods, please tell me if this isn't\nappropriate.**\n\nI will be frank; it is nearly impossible for an English writer to break into\nthe Japanese manga market directly, regardless of talent.\n\nThe manga market is absolutely saturated with talented hopefuls (most of whom\nwill never even get a oneshot published, let alone a series), and the LN\nmarket even more so. Thus like I have said, Japanese publishers have very\nlittle reason to turn to foreign talent - why risk the legal and communication\npitfalls when there are hundreds of Japanese who are eager to replace them for\nlittle recompense?\n\nI'd say that the best chance for a foreign writer to get published in Japan is\nto be either A. To get an internationally bestselling book or B. work with an\nartist (as @Mary has said) to get a bestselling comic, and have a Japanese\npublisher pick up rights for localization of your work.\n\nFor A., there are cases of foreign books getting a manga adaptation (e. g.\n[The Unwomanly Face of War](http://www.asahi.com/sp/ajw/articles/13353361).\nNote that this book is by a Nobel Literature prize-winning author), but they\nare very rare, and generally reserved for the bestselling of books or classics\nin the public domain.\n\nFor B, while foreign comics (e.g. Chinese and Korean webtoons and Western\ncomics) have recently made decent headway in penetrating into the Japanese\nmarket, most of them deviate signifcantly from the cliches and customs of the\nmanga genre (and are successful at least partially thanks to that difference).\n\nIf you really want keep it limited to manga form, I suppose you could find a\nmangaka who is willing to collabrate with you via both translating and drawing\nyour work, but that honestly isn't much more likely than getting a bestselling\nbook.\n\n**TL;DR: It is really bloody difficult, especially if you can't write in\nJapanese.**\n\n", "comment_count": 3, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2021-01-05T00:24:50.107", "id": "61501", "last_activity_date": "2021-01-07T04:49:18.130", "last_edit_date": "2021-01-07T04:49:18.130", "last_editor_user_id": "57846", "owner_user_id": "57846", "parent_id": "61493", "post_type": "answer", "score": 5 }, { "body": "\n\nYes.

Thus, jujutsu sorcerers are vulnerable\nto Mahito's _idle transfiguration_ attack.\n\nIn episode 12, when Yuuji lands a solid punch on Mahito's laughing face,\ncausing the latter to bleed from his nose, Mahito is initially shocked that\nYuuji managed to strike the shape of Mahito's soul.

[ { "body": "\n\nI can only partially answer the question. However, I believe the most recent\nepisode I watched ( _From You, 2000 Years Ago_ ), makes some things clear\nabout how the power of the Founding Titan works. The main point to is that the\noriginal Ymir exists in some capacity inside the Coordinate, as a conscious\nentity. To control the power of the Founder is the same as to control this\nentity. During her lifetime, Ymir was shown to be loyal to King Fritz, for\nwhatever reason. It's probable there was some form of brainwashing going on,\nthough probably it wasn't even done on purpose. Rather than brainwashing, it\ncould also be thought of as mental conditioning or trauma etched into her\nmind, which made her go along with whatever Fritz, her master, told her to do.\nWe hear someone's voice telling Ymir she should strive to be of use to the\nworld, to make it a better place. Ymir lived her life as a slave, and she\ncontinues to exist as a slave even after she died. Her loyalty, or rather,\nsubservience to King Fritz must be deeply ingrained in her mind.\n\nAccording to the [wiki page for Subjects of\nYmir](https://attackontitan.fandom.com/wiki/Subjects_of_Ymir), it is in fact\nstated that the Subjects of Ymir, those who can become Titans, are indeed all\ndescended from Ymir:\n\n> The Subjects of Ymir (ユミルの民 Yumiru no Tami?) are an ethnic group descended\n> from Ymir Fritz and the only race that was capable of becoming Titans.\n> Beginning with Ymir and her three daughters, the bloodline eventually\n> expanded across the Eldian people, to the point of majority.\n\nThen what is the distinction between those of royal blood and the ordinary\nSubjects of Ymir? We actually don't need to understand that. All we need to\nknow is it is a distinction Ymir makes. Whether it's real or not, Ymir\nunderstands the distinction, and only obeys those she views to be of royal\nblood. It's even possible it was something imposed later, much like the vow to\nrenounce war, something burned into Ymir's psyche to be passed down. But we\ncan infer, whatever the case, that Ymir is the gatekeeper here. Once you have\na thinking entity gatekeeping, rather than some law of nature about blood\ndilution or what have you, anything can happen, especially if the gatekeeper\nhas as broken a mind as Ymir's, and mistakes might be made such that the\n\"rules\" don't actually make sense. Whatever the rules are, they make sense to\nYmir.\n\nAlso, it isn't true that the royal bloodline starts with Karl Fritz the 145th.\nAs I understand it, the reason Zeke is supposedly going to be able to control\nthe founding titan without having to worry about the vow to renounce war is\nbecause he's a member of the royal family that isn't descended from this King\nFritz. [From Dina Fritz's wiki page (Zeke's\nmother)](https://attackontitan.fandom.com/wiki/Dina_Fritz#History):\n\n> In the year 824, Dina first appears as a person sent to the Eldian\n> Restorationists by \"the Owl,\" an unknown mole in the Marley government\n> working for them.

There are\ndefinitely differences with the animation (there's no persuading anything\nabout a nega-genesis whatsit), so it's possible there are differences between\nthem regarding how any given character arrives on a given scene. But supposing\nwe put that aside...The short of the answer is: we don't know how Gilgamesh\nhimself arrived there in Archer form. The longer answer is...\n\nFirst, (real) Merlin is not the one who summons First Hassan. While Merlin\ndescribes First Hassan as being an Ace he's kept hidden up his sleeve, he\ndenies being the one to actually summon him. Nor was he summoned by Gilgamesh\nor a (greater) grail. First Hassan is in fact summoned by the protagonist,\nalbeit without his knowing it.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Kr5Hh.jpg)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Sr9Vs.jpg)\nAs I suggested in my comment, this kind of implies that First Hassan kind of\nsummoned himself there so he could fight a Beast, as is the point and calling\nof a Grand Servant, and to be a Servant to the protagonist.\n\nThe real Merlin has arrived by typical Merlin rules-lawyering shenanigans.\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/2gPkd.jpg)\n\nUnfortunately, Gilgamesh is even less forthcoming with how he managed to\narrive as an Archer class Servant.

So he broke and bent the rules, using\nthe nature and mechanics of the (Babylonian) Underworld to his advantage. He\ndoes seem to have full memory of his association with the protagonist and\nMash. Nevertheless, it's unclear what has been accomplished here. He calls\nhimself a Servant, and I think we can trust him on that, so we can rule out\nthat he's simply the human Gilgamesh the story had featured thus far donning a\nnew role. Perhaps he is a Demi-Servant or Pseudo-Servant, using his own body\nand/or spirit as the base? Or, heck, maybe somewhere in that vault he's got a\n\"turn a human/spirit into a Servant\" potion or another, and it really is the\nhuman (caster) Gilgamesh (or at least his spirit). It's impossible to say from\nwhat we're provided, unfortunately, beyond that it relies in part on some sort\nof shenanigans involving the rules and nature of the Underworld, and that he\nis in fact a Servant of some sort.\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2021-03-10T09:58:37.520", "id": "62162", "last_activity_date": "2021-03-10T10:07:03.620", "last_edit_date": "2021-03-10T10:07:03.620", "last_editor_user_id": "8024", "owner_user_id": "8024", "parent_id": "61733", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

She can as such store\nand produce massive amounts of prana all on her own, and does so as naturally\nas (and via) breathing. If a mage is a minor machine at this, she's a massive\nfactory. The problem for her is that she needs something of a starter supply\nto activate the core, and it's this she was originally in short supply of in\nF/SN. She starts out with _no_ supply of energy from Shirou, at all. So\nthere's no issue with Shirou withstanding her Mana Bursts, as he was never\ninvolved in that in any way. She was initially relying entirely on her stored\nreserves, and used up something like a fifth of what she started with in her\nfirst encounter with Berserker. But eventually, in the suitable route, Shirou\ngets his circuits connected to Artoria's with Rin's help, and her draconic\nmagic core activates (well enough for her to achieve what she does for the\nrest of the war, anyway)*. Depending on which version of the story you have\ndigested, you might see Shirou encounter a dragon in this sequence, and the\ncore light up with a prismatic light as it activates with Shirou's energy.\nAfter this point, Shirou is essentially only providing the fuel necessary to\nkeep Artoria's core running, and the core's production covers her mana\nburst.**\n\nThe distinction then is that, as a Servant, Karna has no intrinsic ability to\nproduce his own prana supply, at least not at the level necessary to sustain\neverything he can do. Artoria, however, has a prana factory intrinsic to her\nvery being (though it may need a jump start).\n\n*In the Unlimited Blade Works route, Shirou is instead connected to Rin, who has a heart of dolphins or something. Rin then fuels both Artoria and Shirou.\n\n**You may be asking yourself, \"why doesn't Artoria just feed her own core the\nenergy needed to kickstart it? She's got a lot more than Shirou does for most\nof this time.\" The answer there doesn't seem to get spelled out as explicitly,\nbut the short of the matter is that she was never trained in any of the\nmagecraft arts, and she has no real understanding about how to use her core\nand her absolutely amazing draconic magic circuits properly. [But if she had\nbeen...](https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Artoria_\\(Caster\\)) So she has\ndifficulties really activating the core on her own, and it's the direct hookup\nof her core to Shirou's supply that enables it to finally get going.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2021-03-11T10:47:49.190", "id": "62178", "last_activity_date": "2021-03-11T10:47:49.190", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "8024", "parent_id": "61795", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nThere is no indication Naruto was evaluated based on his fight with Mizuki. It\nwas a life and death battle which Iruka was also fighting in, so he didn't\nstop and start keeping track of Naruto's points. Naruto still failed the\nexamination, but was given an exceptional pass (either for fighting Mizuki, or\nfor mastering the Shadow Clone Jutsu), similar to Rock Lee, and allowed to\ngraduate. Naruto's failures, including the last one, likely still exist on his\nrecord. Since the final examination was merely the Clone Jutsu, it's also\nunlikely there would be much variation in score, and is possibly just a\npass/fail exam, and thus it wouldn't make much sense to talk about the best\nstudent and the worst student only based on this test. Mizuki does ask if they\nshould pass Naruto based on his stamina and endurance, but it isn't clear why\n(Are these criteria evaluated for the Clone Jutsu? Were there additional parts\nof the test not shown? Is he just looking at Naruto's past academic record and\nmaking a dumb suggestion based on it?).\n\nWith all that being said, there is also little reason to believe the teams\nwere formed based only on the results of the final examination, as I will\nshow.\n\nIn the third episode, _Sasuke and Sakura: Friends or Foes_ , Iruka explains\nwhy he put Naruto and Sasuke together. Iruka comments on their grades. This is\nwhat the English subtitles on the Japanese dub on Crunchyroll say (emphasis\nmine):\n\n> Sasuke has the best **grades** of the graduates. Naruto, you're at the\n> bottom.\n\nThe fact that grades is plural here indicates Iruka isn't just talking about\nthe result of the final test.\n\nThe next thing Iruka says is:\n\n> Of course, this is how it is when trying to balance the strength within\n> groups.\n\nConsidering it only covers one jutsu, the Clone Jutsu, the results of the\nfinal test alone would be a poor guide to trying to balance the strength of\nthe teams, so of course, their overall performance up until now was\nconsidered.\n\nAlso, Naruto had the audacity to call himself an exceptional student, so that\nalso points to Iruka rebuking him with their overall experience at the\nacademy, rather than just the final exam.\n\nAdditionally, much later we learn how the other teams were formed, and some of\nthem have nothing to do with anything learned at the academy. Ino, Choji, and\nShikamaru were put together to mirror their parents' team, for instance,\nbecause of the power of the Ino-Shika-Cho formation. And Hinata, Shino, and\nKiba were put together because they all have sensory abilities. This all\npoints away from a single test having been used to put Sasuke, Sakura, and\nNaruto together. The Hokage also has a hand in creating and approving the\nteams, so it's possible Iruma wasn't aware of the real reason these three were\nput together.\n\nFor anyone interested in this question, I highly recommend _Naruto Shippuden_\nepisode 361 ( _Kakashi: Shadow of the Anbu Black Ops-Squad 7_ ), as it pretty\nmuch goes through a lot of what I've discussed. It even makes it pretty clear\nthe teams were made by the Hokage, not by Iruka and the academy, as Iruka,\nwhile looking over the Team 7 roster says something like, \"Ah, brilliant!\nSasuke got the best grades and Naruto got the worst grades, so this team is\nperfectly balanced!\" And thus, like I said, it's pretty clear Iruka is kind of\nmisunderstanding this here, but he's pretty confident in his conclusions,\nwhich is why he repeats it with such confidence to Naruto later. This episode\nalso makes it clear one of the reasons Kakashi was made their team leader so\nhe can teach Sasuke how to use Sharingan, since he's the only Sharingan user\nleft in the village.\n\n> Considering it was well-known enough that Sharingan could control the Nine-\n> Tails that the Uchiha were suspected of being responsible for the Nine-Tails\n> rampage, it's possible Sasuke was put on the same team as Naruto to keep the\n> Nine-Tails in check. This is definitely touched upon in the aforementioned\n> episode 361 and maybe mentioned other times in canon. While Kakashi and the\n> Third Hokage are discussing team seven, Kakashi says something like, \"The\n> nine tails Jinchurki... and one who might awaken the Sharingan.\" He doesn't\n> draw an explicit connection there, and the Third Hokage doesn't actually\n> confirm it as a motivation for creating the team, but they definitely\n> mentioned the Sharingan being a power able to control the Nine-Tails in this\n> arc.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2021-07-15T20:24:49.543", "id": "64226", "last_activity_date": "2021-08-30T19:07:02.083", "last_edit_date": "2021-08-30T19:07:02.083", "last_editor_user_id": "19307", "owner_user_id": "19307", "parent_id": "61812", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

She is\nthe one who is the gatekeeper to who is allowed to use the power of the\nFounding Titan. Due to her time as a slave and all the trauma she suffered in\nlife, she was very loyal to King Fritz and did whatever he told her to do.\nThis loyalty can be thought of as mental conditioning, brainwashing, or a fear\nof disobeying, but whatever the case, it was shown as a fact in the episode\n_From You, 2000 Years Ago_ that she obeyed Fritz unconditionally.\n\nThis \"loyalty\" continued even after Ymir died and she was reduced to whatever\nshe is inside the Coordinate. According to the\n[wiki](https://attackontitan.fandom.com/wiki/Subjects_of_Ymir) at least, it\ndoes indeed seem to be stated somewhere that everyone who can turn into a\nTitan is descended from Ymir. So, what's the distinction between those of\nroyal blood and the regular Subjects of Ymir? We don't actually have to\nunderstand the distinction. All we have to know is that Ymir knows the\ndifference. Perhaps the distinction is even nonsensical, but so long as Ymir\nbelieves there is a distinction, she will use it to decide whether to obey or\nnot. She exists as a thinking entity, after all, and with her mind as broken\nas it is, it makes sense that it wouldn't make sense. Once you put a person in\ncharge of deciding these things, rather than a force of nature which cannot\nerr, all bets are off.\n\nAnd this is just speculation now, but perhaps, as with the vow to renounce\nwar, the choice for Ymir only to obey members of a certain lineage was\nsomething imposed on her some point after King Fritz. Or perhaps it was a\nsanity check for Ymir, because with so many descendants, she'd almost have to\ngive precedence to some (though this particular theory might not hold much\ncredence, given how time works vastly differently inside the Coordinate).\nThere's been some suggestion that inbreeding of the royals may also have kept\nthe royals more genetically similar to Ymir, which could be the case. Whatever\nthe case, if the explanation makes sense to you, it might make sense to Ymir,\nand Ymir's the one deciding, so...\n\nGetting back to my original theory, what exactly is the proof that Ymir is the\none deciding who is royal and who isn't?

That's 15 descendants of Ymir. But not\nall of them will be considered royal blood. I think only those who inherited\nthe 9 titan powers will be dubbed to be royal at the time.
