{
"body": "\n\nDragonoid is a pretty utilitarian term, it's made up of the word dragon with\nthe suffix [-oid](https://www.dictionary.com/browse/-oid) which means \"like\"\nor \"resembling\" (think humanoid/anthropoid which both mean non-human with\nhuman form/characteristics, ovoid which means \"resembling an egg\" or \"egg\nshaped\", etc.). Thus, dragonoid means something that \"resembles a dragon\" or\nis \"dragon-like\" without being a proper dragon. The Japanese term for\ndragonoid shared between DQ's dragon knight's dragonoid form and Slime's\nMilim's race is 竜魔人 (romanji: ryūmajin, lit: dragon monster person) is\nlikewise quite utilitarian but each for different reasons.\n\nIn DQ the 竜の騎士 (romanji: Ryū no kishi lit: dragon knight) race was created\nfrom the collaboration between the god of dragons, god of darklings and god of\nhumans which is reflected in the name of the dragonoid form which takes a\ncharacter from each. However, do note that dragonoid is not the name of the\nrace but of a form. \"Dragonoid form\" doesn't seem to carry any history beyond\nDQ and as a name of a form is usually utilitarian (demon form, final form,\nsuper (saiyan), etc.) and somewhat arbitrary.\n\nOn the other hand, Milim's race is 竜魔人 (dragonoid), birthed from the union of\na human and dragon. In most media her race would be called \"[half-\ndragon](https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Half-dragon)\" but slime adds\nthe \"monster\" bit because in its universe all beings borne from magicules\n(i.e. mana) are considered monsters and they specifically define the term 魔人\n(romanji: majin lit: monster person) to denote humanoid monsters. Thus she is\na humanoid monster of the draconic variety. The half dragon race of beings\ncarries a more storied history. Chinese myth believes that the emperors are\ndescended from dragons which necessarily means dragons can make \"the beast\nwith two backs\" with humans. A hulking lizard getting busy with a tiny\nhuman... how does that work? Another core trait of dragons is their ability to\nshapeshift which is rooted in antiquity from stories of humans being\ntransformed into dragons Cadmus in Greek myth and Fafnir in Norse myth being\nthe most famous inspirations. In more modern times we have the classic D&D\norigin story: a dragon + a human bard + nat 20 roll in Charisma = half-dragon\nbabies. Given that we're talking about anime we should also consider\ndragonoids from the opposite direction too, rather than being rooted in the\nlargely western idea of a \"half-dragon\" we think of Milim as a \"dragon girl\"\nwhich is a natural extension of \"cat girls\". A mainstay of otaku culture, cat\ngirls probably trace lineage to folklore of Kitsune (fox yokai) who've long\nbeen believed to be able to shapeshift into beautiful women as well as stories\nof Bakeneko (cat yokai) prostitutes which were prevalent in the Edo period.\nAccording to Wikipedia the first anime to feature cat girls was \"The King's\nTails\" made in 1949. Now a ubiquitous trope in anime and manga cat girls are\nthe poster child of kemonomimi (human-like beings with animal ears) at large\nwhich includes [raccoon\ngirls](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rising_of_the_Shield_Hero), [horse-\ngirl idols](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uma_Musume_Pretty_Derby) and even\n[Isis-chan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISIS-chan).\n\nBakugan's Dragonoid seems mostly like a one-off name, Dragonoid seems to\nexclusively be written in katakana (ドラゴノイド romanji: doragonoido) which means\nits intended to be a loan word from the English word \"dragonoid\" rather than a\nchoice of reading for 竜魔人 like the other two. Bakugan also makes abundant use\nof the -oid suffix in their names: Serpenoid, Centipoid, Hydranoid, Ravenoid,\netc. Likely because naming things by corrupting existing English words sounds\ncooler (dragonoid > dragon, ravenoid > raven, etc.) and improves SEO.\n\nSo where does the idea of dragonoids come from? Likely nowhere, the three\ngiven examples seem to be the only uses of dragonoid, have a mixed bag of\ninfluences and none of them have anything to do with each other. Rather than\nbeing inspired by each other it seems as though 3 separate franchises\nindependently saw the utility the name dragonoid\n\n",

It would be less\nexciting to just have Hierophant Green slither over to Joseph and just speak\nto him. Plus, Kakyoin hardly had the strength to manifest Hierophant Green and\nperform his final Emerald Splash.\n\nBut you can also consider that DIO didn't want them to know that The World can\nstop time. He is more powerful if he knows their abilities but they don't know\nhis. By using the Emerald Splash to destroy the clock-face, symbolizing the\nstopping of time, Kakyoin is able to tell Joseph about DIO's stand without DIO\ncatching on. To DIO, it just looks like Kakyoin was trying to \"go out with a\nbang,\" but Joseph knows Kakyoin personally, and realizes that he wouldn't do\nsomething so pointless.\n\n",

Well there are differences,\nclearly the AI can think, understand the fundamentals of the world etc\nhowever, it's also in a human body, it has similar traits to NPCs.\n\n 1. We know the programmer went mad and eventually turned into an NPC as confirmed by the AI. If you consider the AI an NPC then it could be him.\n 2. The AI knows the programmer's name but said you won't know him, ruling out pretty much everyone she knows. Whilst you might argue he didn't say it's \"Me\" the AI confirmed he \"Didn't know anything\" meaning if he said his own name as the programmer he wouldn't recognise it to be himself since he's an AI.\n 3. The AI didn't create Angel Player, whilst the programmer might not have either it might suggest the AI was put in the world after it's creation. However the programmer didn't create it either, he amended it when he realised there was a bug in the software which is the only reason he was there to begin with.\n 4. The programmer was mad, he made some rules before turning into an NPC which the AI follows, who better than to appoint himself of this role and erase his memory so he can forget his love.\n\nSome people might ask why the AI would be so open to letting someone else take\nover the world, well regardless of whoever the Programmer is, he clearly\ndidn't specify a command not to allow this.\n\nWhat do you think?

{
"body": "\n\nIt's actually a little more complicated than it first seems. Because first of\nall, it's stated in the light novels that Ms. Oka and Potimas (the leader of\nthe elves) don't actually trust each other. The novels state multiple times\nthey are both merely using each other for mutual benefit. And this\nrelationship starts when Ms. Oka is still a newborn, and gets the telepathy\nskill so she can talk to Potimas and try and save her students, who she knows\nare endangered because of her Class Roster skill.\n\nHer distrust of Potimas is apparent on page 85 of volume 5:\n\n> I have no doubt that Potimas would be willing to purge me without even the\n> slightest change in expression.\n>\n> Even more importantly, that might endanger my students who are in the elves'\n> care.\n>\n> The elves are not protecting them out of goodwill, after all.\n\nWhat the elves teach Ms. Oka is that skills are bad because their acquisition\nhelps power up evil beings called Administrators. Gaining a large number of\nskills will put you on their radar, and they'll take all your power for\nthemselves. This is why Ms. Oka advises Shun not to raise his skills too much.\n\nNow, it seems apparent Ms. Oka did buy into what the elves taught to a large\ndegree. But what makes this complicated is that her Class Roster skill\nactually seems to confirm what the elves taught her. The information from\nClass Record is actually very limited, giving information on Past, Present,\nand Future. (see pages 80-81 of volume 5). Present just gives a one-word\ndescription of condition, past tells where they were born, and future tells\nthe manner in which they will die in one sentence, and a rough estimate of\nwhen. It's future that is important here.\n\nFrom page 84 of volume 5:\n\n> If such a reincarnation was to acquire and strengthen a lot of skills, then\n> according to the elves, they might catch the eyes of the administrators and\n> be exploited for their purposes.\n>\n> I have good reason to believe this story.\n>\n> One of the causes of death listed in my Student Roster is \"divested of\n> skills.\"\n>\n> Even now, it's still listed as the cause for Shun and Katia, among others.\n>\n> Initially, most of my students were fated to die for this reason.\n>\n> I suspect this would indicate death brought about by an administrator.\n>\n> Now that many of my students are in the elf village in an environment where\n> they can't improve their skills, the number of skill-related deaths on my\n> list has decreased.\n\nThus, while the elves may be misleading her, and even if she suspects as much,\nMs. Oka has good reason to believe that what they're telling her is mostly\ntrue. And since she's using her best reasoning here with what information she\nhas, it's hard to say she's actually brainwashed.\n\n",

She fumbles due to being put on the spot so suddenly, and\nthen Gojo cuts her off anyway by saying that they are out of time, and that\nthe Goodwill Event is now begun. Before the mic cuts off completely, we can\nhear Utahime exclaiming in frustration at Gojo's antics.\n\nThe scene then cuts to the trio—Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi, and Kugisaki\nNobara—sprinting together in the woods. At this point, Yuji looks at the other\ntwo and asks, \"Was that Ichiro?\" to which Nobara replies, \"Idiot.\"\n\nPresumably, Nobara is referring to Gojo here, as it seems to be a common way\nof referring to him informally among themselves. For instance, when the Kyoto\nand Tokyo students meet for the first time as a group in the previous episode,\nGojo (who is not present there) is referred to as \"that idiot\", and Megumi\neven points this out explicitly.\n\nHowever, what does Yuji mean here by asking, \"Was that Ichiro?\" As far as I\ncan tell, no character by this name has been introduced so far, and neither\ndoes the name Ichiro appear anytime later. Is something being lost in\ntranslation?

He\nfeels insecure because he is not 'into' anything and he's afraid that possibly\nhe never will be (before he starts art).\n\nAs for 'hiding real intentions', I suppose you mean he does not confess the\nfeeling of insecurity to anyone, but that is part of the socializing.

"body": "\n\nIn _Jujutsu Kaisen_ , the cursed spirit Hanami is seen to have developed her\nown language system, which is still somehow comprehensible to those who hear\nit. Those who hear it describe the experience as being quite creepy, whether\nthey be human (like Fushiguro Megumi) or a cursed spirit (like Jogo).\n\nTo show this, the first few times that Hanami speaks, her words are\ndeliberately made incomprehensible. I think this is done by reversing the\naudio—that is, I think the Japanese voice actor for Hanami, [Tanaka\nAtsuko](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atsuko_Tanaka_\\(voice_actress\\)),\nrecorded actual lines which were then played backwards. Also, the subtitles\nfor these parts are left blank (at least, that is how it is on Netflix in my\nregion).\n\nThis makes me quite curious: do we know what Hanami speaks in the first few\ninstances? Her words are delivered normally after a certain point in episode\n18 \"Sage\" (Transcription: \"Kenja\"; Japanese: 賢者), certainly to make it easier\nfor the viewers to follow. Before this, there are three instances when the\naudio is played in reverse:\n\n * In episode 5 \"Curse Womb Must Die—II—\" (Transcription: \"Jutai Taiten—Ni—\"; Japanese: 呪胎戴天—弐—): Hanami speaks to Jogo (and perhaps a few others present there) at around 12:40.\n * In episode 7 \"Assault\" (Transcription: \"Kyūshū\"; Japanese: 急襲): Hanami speaks to Suguru Geto at around 16:30.\n * In episode 18: Hanami speaks at around 7:33, either to herself or to Inumaki Toge who is nearby.\n * Later in the same episode, at around 19:20, Hanami speaks to Megumi, Inumaki, and Kamo Noritoshi. Initially, the audio is reversed, and then (if I'm not mistaken) the same audio is played the right way, so it seems that here Hanami says, \"Stop it, foolish children.\" After this point, Hanami's words are never reversed.\n\nWhat does Hanami say in the first three instances? Has anyone tried un-\nreversing the audio to find out?\n\n",

Due to the nature of the domain, this brings\nItadori—and hence also Ryomen Sukuna—into Mahito's contact.

Sukuna has no reason to be callous about\nhis own existence in the situation. On the contrary, the entire scene shows,\nas far as Sukuna is concerned, any life can be taken or spared just based on\nhis whims.\n\nFrom my limited knowledge of Japanese, I would expect the word \" _ore_ \" or\nsome variant to appear in a phrase such as \"or I die\", but I hear the word \"\n_omaye_ \" in both parts of the sentence, so Sukuna is probably saying \"It's\neither you die… or you die,\" I guess?\n\nAdditionally, visually the part \"It's either you die…\" is said while the scene\nshows Nanami, and the part \"or I die\" is said while the scene shows Mahito\nwrithing in agony. So, I think it would make a lot more sense visually, too,\nif the subtitles were to instead read \"It's either you die… or you die.\"\n\nCould someone please clarify what the precise Japanese lines are in this\nscene, and whether the subtitles quoted in the beginning are indeed incorrect?\nThe scene occurs at around 13:00.\n\n* * *\n\nIn case it matters, I am watching the series on Netflix, and the subtitles\nthere are slightly off in at least one other instance: see [What honorific\ndoes Panda use when speaking to Yaga\nMasamichi?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/65733/what-honorific-\ndoes-panda-use-when-speaking-to-yaga-masamichi).\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIn _Jujutsu Kaisen_ 's episode 18 \"Sage\" (Transcription: \"Kenja\"; Japanese:\n賢者), Hanami disrupts the Goodwill Event and engages Fushiguro Megumi, Inumaki\nToge and Kamo Noritoshi in combat. But, just before that, she elaborates on\nher outlook by saying the following:\n\n> The forest, ocean, and sky… They cry out in pain, saying they can't bear it\n> anymore. They can no longer coexist with humans. They know that some humans\n> are kind to this planet, but how much can that kindness make up for?\n>\n> All they want is time. If there's enough time, this planet can shine again.\n> A time without humans.\n>\n> Die, and become a sage.\n\nWhat exactly does Hanami mean by the last line, \"Die, and become a sage\"? It\nis clear that Hanami envisions a future for the planet when there are no more\nhumans, but what does it mean to become a sage by dying? Is something being\nlost in translation, here?\n\nI notice that the episode is titled \"Sage\", and that Hanami uses the word\n\"Kenja\" in this line. Is there some subtlety in the meaning of the word\n\"Kenja\" that is not being conveyed accurately through the English word \"sage\"?\nOr, is there some cultural notion of \"dying and becoming a sage\" that I should\nbe aware of in order to understand the import of this line?\n\n",

"body": "\n\nInitially I thought of putting a comment but it was getting too long, so I'll\nput an answer.\n\n* * *\n\nIn _Boruto_ , Sasuke did lose his Rinnegan and but locating Madara and taking\nhis Rinnegan is not feasible because if you remember towards the end of Ninja\nWar, Madara turned into Kaguya Otsutsuki who was sealed by Naruto and Sasuke.\nThe ten tails was split and so was Madara's body. After taking so much toll on\nhis body, having being turned into Kaguya with his body handling so much power\nand then getting all ten tails removed, the body was rendered useless and so\nwas his rinnegan (if you notice the last moments of Madara, there was no\nRinnegan). It was not shown what happened to Madara's body after his death.\nDid Hagoromo took his body after all were summoned in the real world?\n\n> So, How can Sasuke get a eye (or if possible a Rinnegan)?\n\nLet's look at the ways:\n\n 1. **Amado** : Amado is an amazing scientist and can also create Dojutsu. Amado created a special pair of eyes for Delta, which could absorb and release ninjutsu. This Otsutsukis have shown similar abilities, maybe they were the inspiration for the eye. Amado could potentially create a good Dojutsu for Sasuke to use; for which he could take a sample of Kawaki and Boruto’s DNA as both of them have Otsutuski genes mixed with theirs. This could help him to create a better dojutsu or maybe create an artificial Rinnegan.\n 2. **Shin Uchiha** : Shin Uchiha was a test subject of Orochimaru, who grew to praise the Uchihas, especially Itachi Uchiha. He has multiple pairs of Sharingan, so there’s a possibility that Sasuke could use one of them. A wild guess in both of these possibilities could be that Sasuke uses one of Shin Uchiha’s eyes. Or, a Sharingan from the Laboratory to use the Izanagi, preserving his Sharingan in the process.\n 3. **Obito’s laboratory** : Obito has a secret laboratory with multiple pairs of Sharingans. Sasuke could use one of the Sharingan preserved in the lab.\n 4. **Sakura's healing ability** : Sakura can be of help at healing any damages.\n\nThere was also one other method: Naruto's Yin-Yang release which he received\nfrom Hagoromo Otsutsuki to heal Kakashi’s eye in Naruto Shippuden but since\nKurama died, this won't work.\n\n> Does Sasuke even need Rinnegan?\n\nAlthough, getting Rinnegan means attaining godly powers, it is not necessary\nthat Sasuke have to have Rinnegan. Don't forget the fundamental powers of\nUchiha, the **Sharingan**. Sasuke was too powerful before even getting the\nRinnegan. Sasuke currently has access to his Susanoo, genjutsu, all forms of\nChidori, Fire and Lightning release and other signature jutsu. Now the\nquestion is since he has Sharingan, can he still get the Rinnegan powers?\n\nIn the words of Tobirama:\n\n> _the root of Uchiha’s powers is their love, greater than anyone else’s. But\n> when they lose someone they love, their love is changed into hate. And this\n> emotion of theirs is reflected by their eyes. That’s the reason it is called\n> \"the eye that reflects the heart.\"_\n\nThis means that the powers and all the Uchiha abilities come from within a\nShinobi’s blood (Kekkei Genkai). The eyes are nothing but the projectors for\nthat power. In this case, Sasuke has all the abilities of Rinnegan within him\nsince he’s the direct descendant of Indra and thus Hagoromo; he just needs a\ntool to access it which will be Rinnegan eye.\n\nBut what I've heard in _Boruto_ , Sasuke hasn't been on the spotlight as he is\nhaving a hard time with the bosses. Sasuke has been using space-time ninjutsu\nquite a lot lately which is very chakra-inducing and hence, he is getting\ntired and couldn't keep up with the enemy. This is putting him in a\ndisadvantage. If he can get to his old fighting style and using his basic\njutsu, without depending on godly powers, he might get good in the future.\n\n* * *\n\nAlso, since Obito died, his Sharingan that was implanted to Kakashi got\ndeactivated and hence his eyes returned normal.\n\n* * *\n\n**Reference**\n\n 1. <https://www.epicdope.com/did-sasuke-lose-his-rinnegan-in-boruto-will-he-get-it-back/>\n 2. <https://animehunch.com/2021/01/26/boruto-can-sasuke-get-his-rinnegan-back/>\n\n",

What caused Rikako, a\ndaughter of a strictly moral person, to become a serial killer? Was it the\ncharisma of Makishima that caused her to get manipulated? Further, What did\nthe earlier two plastic models created out of that businessman and an enforcer\nthat Kogami said about, symbolize? These things just add to the gore and seem\nmeaningless. Are they really just meaningless?\n\n",

It smashed many records and became the Japan's highest grossing\nfilm of all time surpassing _Spirited Away_. Since the movie performed very\nwell, why did they had to turn the movie into episodes for season 2? Maybe the\nepisodes will feature new scenes that didn't made into the movie and will\nelaborate on particular scenes. But it was not necessary to show the same\nthing again.\n\nBoth the movie and the TV series are adapted by the same studio (Ufotable) and\nproduced by the same producers (Aniplex, Shueisha). So, there was no\ndiscrepancy in the studio and broadcasters POV. So, was it for financial gain?\nOr is there any other reason? Why didn't they pick after the train arc and\njump into the district arc which I believe will be 13 episodes and thus form 1\ncour instead of stopping at an awkward episode count?\n\n",

Essentially this lets them double-dip - get the cinematic\nrevenue from the theatrical release, as well as the streaming/TV revenue from\nthe \"free\" extra runtime of the anime.\n\nOf course, it also means that the fans who didn't watch the movie in theaters\nand can't be bothered to purchase it anywhere else, as well as those who may\nnot even know that the movie exists (particularly future fans who enter the\nseries long after its completion) do not miss anything by just watching the\nanime. (although personally I'd be surprised if there are ever any significant\nnumber of people who like _Demon Slayer_ who did not watch the best grossing\nanime movie of all time)\n\nHere is [a link to an article](https://comicbook.com/anime/news/demon-slayer-\nseason-2-mugen-arc-repeat/) that basically says the same thing as this answer.\n\n",

{
"body": "\n\nThe title and the bulk of the question seem to be asking separate questions -\nthe question in the title, why _Nichijou_ is being re-serialized, is\nrelatively easy to answer.\n\nThe official answer is: [because the author, Keiichi Arai, wants\nto.](https://twitter.com/himaraya/status/1450733528367484932?s=20) That is, as\nfar as I know, all there is to it - he hasn't given any other reason in his\nTwitter or anywhere else.\n\nAs long as the author and company responsible for its serialization agree (and\ndepending on the contract clause, one of them might not even be necessary),\nthere isn't legally really anything preventing re-serialization of a completed\nmanga.\n\nOf course, the bigger hurdle might be elsewhere - a completed manga ideally\nmeans that its story is essentially complete, and there isn't anything\nsignificant that can be added postscript without it feeling extraneous. So\noften, neither the fans nor the mangaka really desire additional content\nwithin the same manga series. This doesn't preclude the telling of additional\nstories within the same universe, of course, but those stories are often\ndifferent enough (e.g. a change in main character or tone, a time skip, etc.)\nto warrant a sequel or spin-off (e.g. the [_Kosaku\nShima_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosaku_Shima) series, _Naruto_ ->\n_Boruto_ , _To Love Ru_ -> _To Love Ru Darkness_ )\n\nAs it stands, there are a few reasons why a completed (and not simply\ndiscontinued or abandoned) manga would re-serialize much later without moving\nto a sequel or spin-off:\n\n 1. The manga has a more omnibus tone, and the lack of a overarching story means additional chapters are less likely to feel tacked on ( _Nichijou_ , as posed in the question, would be a prime example)\n\n 2. The manga ends with conclusion of an arc (and less of a grand finale), and the mangaka had some ideas to continue the story - and decides to go for it after a hiatus. ([ _Rurouni Kenshin_ Hokkaido arc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rurouni_Kenshin:_The_Hokkaido_Arc) is a borderline example, and [_Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai_ Underworld arc](https://dragonquest.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon_Quest:_The_Adventure_of_Dai) would be a planned, but unexecuted, case.)\n\n 3. The ending was unsatisfactory, and a proper conclusion is added later ([ _Shaman King_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Shaman_King_chapters#Chapters_collected_exclusively_in_kanzenban_format))\n\n 4. There are new ideas, but not enough (or require too much continuity) to justify a reboot, spin-off or sequel ([likely _Bleach_](https://www.cbr.com/bleach-new-arc-facts-details/))\n\nThere will be other reasons and examples of course, but the above is the\nextent of my knowledge.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI do not disagree with [IG_42's\nanswer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/65884/19307) and think it correct,\nbut I would like to add to it a bit since I just watched this movie.\n\n## What the Movie Says\n\nDuring the movie, All Might gives a partial explanation to what happened. Here\nis the quote:\n\n> Young Bakugo must've lost consciousness before the transfer finished. No,\n> that's not it. For risking your life to protect. And for risking your life\n> to prevail. All For One did something **miraculous**. Master and all of\n> those who came before... thank you so much. I'm forever grateful.\n\nIn short, it was a miracle, just as IG_42's answer said.\n\nThere's also something akin to an explanation that Midoriya says. It doesn't\nreally explain anything, but I'll include it anyway (Apologies, this one might\nnot be the exact quote, but should be close enough).\n\n> Kacchan didn't remember about the transfer of All For One to him afterwards.\n> And **somehow** the power remained with me.\n\nSo basically Midoriya's explanation is \"I dunno.\"\n\nEstablishing it as a \"miracle\" is actually very convenient, because it means\n\n 1. It does not need to be fully explained.\n 2. We should not expect it to happen again. In other words, this is an anime movie where the writers are playing it loose with the rules of the established story, and we shouldn't expect the rules herein to carry over to the main story in the manga and anime.\n\n## Interpretation\n\nSo it was a miracle and needs no explanation. I'm going to explain it anyway\n(or try, at least).\n\nFirst, we should examine the first thing All Might said. At first he suspects\nthat Bakugo lost consciousness before the transfer finished. That's odd,\nactually. It tells us something about how the transference of All For One\nworks. It means it doesn't simply complete immediately after the current\nholder transfers the power via an infusion of their DNA (at least according to\nAll Might's understanding). Rather, the process of transferring from one user\nto the next continues even after that until it complete. It seems kind of\nstrange to think of it like that, but that's what the story is saying.\n\nSecond, we should look at Bakugo's intentions. In his dialogue, he expressed\nconcern that Midoriya would permanently lose his power. This shows that Bakugo\nprobably did not intend to keep All For One, and would have given it back to\nMidoriya if he were given a choice.\n\nThird, we look at the will of All For One. The vestiges of the past users\nliving inside All For One would seem to have a will of their own. All Might\neven expresses in the quote that it was their intention to share the power\nwith Bakugo, but to stay with Midoriya.\n\nI suspect these three reasons are why Midoriya retained All For One. Namely,\nthere was still a connection between him and Bakugo through All For One, and\nboth Bakugo and the vestiges willed the power return to Midoriya.\n\n## Other Examples\n\nAs a side note, this isn't the first time something like this has happened in\nan anime movie. Go check out the first Broly movie in the _Dragon Ball_\nfranchise, where they win the day by all giving their energy to Goku. Not sure\nhow canonical being able to do that was at the time, but they did something\nlike that when creating the Super Saiyan God, so I guess it's canonical _now_.\n\nFurther examples:\n<https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CombinedEnergyAttack> and\n<https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EnergyDonation>.\n\n",

A fight breaks\nout, and Shigaraki Tomura is about to use his quirk on Tsu's face, Midoryia\njumps into action and is about to hit Shigaraki when Nomu appears in the way.\nThe thing is, Midoryia hits Nomu with 100% of One For All and it does nothing\nto Nomu and there is no backlash to Midoryia's arm. I know that one of Nomu's\nmany abilities is that he has \"Absorption\", which explains why it had no\neffect on Nomu, but what made no sense was the explanation of why it didn't\naffect Midoryia's arm. Midoryia thought it was because he was fighting a live\nbeing, but I immediately regard this as illogical because in season two, there\nare numerous occasions when he's fighting a person and he goes all out and\nstill harms himself. This is all before he figures out how to sustain the use\nstate of One For All at 8%(Full Cowling). So, I was wondering if someone could\nshed some light on this. Anything would be appreciated.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThis is a fair question…\n\nMy own interpretation is that Deku's assessment of his output is not to be\ntaken completely at face value. Compare with the related question regarding\nhis 1 million percent output against Muscular later on in the series: [How\ncould Deku hit 1000,000% One for All punch when he had no memory of\nit?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/47125).\n\nWhat I take away from the incident with the Nomu at USJ is that, in that\ncrucial moment, Deku somehow found the knack of how to output _his_ maximum\npower — note, _not_ OFA's maximum power — with the constraint of not breaking\nhis body when he releases it. After all, when All Might battles the same Nomu\nwith \"merely\" the embers of OFA left within him, his blows are still on a\ndifferent level compared to Deku's punch.\n\nIt's significant within the story because it shows that Deku _can_ use OFA\nwithout breaking his body, and, crucially, he can do it in battle.\nFurthermore, it gives him a \"sense\" of what it feels like to use OFA without\nbreaking his body, a point that he brings up later in conversation with All\nMight, IIRC. Importantly, Deku uses these kind of experiences to build his\nunderstanding of OFA and improve his usage of it, so it serves to setup his\ngrowth, from the standpoint of the story's progression.\n\n(Although this might be getting tangential, the notion of developing a \"sense\"\nor \"feel\" for one's quirk is echoed by other characters who train Deku and his\ncomrades, including Endeavor in season 5 of the anime. So, it's not entirely a\none-off occurrence.)\n\n",

Due to the 'microwave' not\nproducing enough heat, which is OFA's power in this case, it also resulted in\nthe 'egg' not exploding, which is Midoriya's bones not breaking. This thus\nproves the point that Midoriya was indeed holding back his power.\n\nThere are many possible explanations as to how he held back his power without\nknowing, but I feel that the most plausible explanation for this would be that\nMidoriya's adrenaline 'controlling' him. As seen in his fight with Muscular,\nMidoriya was somehow able to use 1,000,000% despite never using it before, and\nalso felt no pain from his injuries. It was then mentioned by Aizawa that\nMidoriya was running on adrenaline. It could be possible that the rush of\nadrenaline he felt from almost dying by Muscular and him picturing Tsuyu dying\nby Shigaraki caused him to bring his power to new levels, or hold the power\nback from hurting him too much.\n\n",

How he shared his chakra to protect everyone.\nHow Gaara used his sand to connect people in the war-gathering scene.\n\nNaruto as a series overall has a strong thematic emphasis on \"understanding\neach other\".\n\nI guess in our world, internet and mass communication evolution has managed to\nachieve a bit of an similar effect, though perhaps not completely, but this is\na close parallel to compare to.\n\n",

It can't possibly be considered a fight if Gojo does\npractically nothing, as it will make the fight seem too one-sided. As shown in\nthe episode when they met Nobara, Yuji could be seen hugging Gojo out of\nhappiness. It wasn't shown when Gojo actually deactivated Infinity to allow\nYuji to do such a thing, which further proves this point. Infinity is\nsomething that is somewhat transparent and we can't see it, so we don't\nactually know when it is activated and when it is not. Gojo doing this hand\nsignal thus helps us to know that he is currently activating Infinity and the\nattacks being stopped are not due to other causes.\n\nOf course, another theory is that he did this because he is used to constantly\ndoing it as a teenager, but I find the first theory more plausible.\n\n",

My questions is\npretty specific, though: I'm wondering exactly how they photographed the\nvarious glows and lights in the dark and night scenes. I know the bright white\nlights (e.g. motorcycle headlights) were hand animated using cut-out masks\nover light tables. But the additive smears (e.g. the motorcycle tail lights)\ndon't seem to use that technique. And even for the light table shots -- how\ndid they combine those with the rest of the frame photographically? What was\nthe compositing technique for traditional film photographed cel animation?\n\n",
