It has its own term called \"ijime\".\nThe Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology\n(MEXT) has been tracking reported cases of ijime since 1985. Although it has\ngradually altered its definition along the way, it has always said bullying\nwill be considered as such no matter if it occurs at, or outside of, the\nschool. The definition goes sometimes like this:\n\n> Ijime is an act by a student, or students, toward another student that\n> inflicts some physical or psychological consequence causing the receiving\n> child mental or physical suffering.\n\nOver the years, cases of bullying is on the rise, mostly in elementary school\n(more statistics in reference):\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/6PFsB.png)\n\nHence, we find bullying a common theme in manga and anime.

This anime film\nexamined the impact of bullying from the perspectives of the bullied and the\nbully with an uplifting message. A big part of what makes _A Silent Voice_\nstand out as a film is that it examines bullying in a rather unconventional\nway. It does a lot more than set a former bully on a path toward redemption by\nreconciling with his former classmate; it also looks at some of the reasons\nbullying happens in the first place and how that impacts others who are caught\nin the crossfire. The film also scrutinizes the school system's failure to\nprotect vulnerable children and prevent bullying.

As you can see magic items can make an awakened person more\npowerful, like ruins items or spirit stones. Even the magic apple he creates\nhas magic abilities like healing her sister's illness. Seems like this item\ncome from another dimension having magic items but I am not sure about that\npoint.\n\nSo now finally I come to your answer, that black magic paper went inside Lu\nXiaoyu because that nebula map is totally opposite of lu shi nebula map, also\nlu shi is already awakened person and that nebula map(black paper) has the\npower of awakening just like lu shi locket.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2022-07-28T23:01:40.543", "id": "67073", "last_activity_date": "2022-07-30T17:31:46.920", "last_edit_date": "2022-07-30T17:31:46.920", "last_editor_user_id": "49915", "owner_user_id": "49915", "parent_id": "67015", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nSo there's two things that may be contributing to this:\n\n 1. **Shinigami cannot wield their Zanpakuto while using a Gigai.**\n\n[Gigai](https://bleach.fandom.com/wiki/Gigai) are artificial bodies which\nShinigami can inhabit to blend in with humans in the human world or to restore\nlost spiritual power. While using a Gigai a Shinigami's powers are drastically\nreduced to help ward off hollows and make blending in easier. To the best of\nmy knowledge Shinigami are always shown to need to exit their Gigai (or in\nIchigo's case, his physical body) to equip their Zanpakuto. While in a Gigai\nShinigami are capable of Hado which is decent for self-defense but for\nanything more intensive they need to leave their Gigai and use their spirit\nform. This is relevant since Rukia does draw her Zanpakuto during this arc but\nonly after being forced out of her Gigai by a Bount while under mind control.\nThis implies she could have drawn her Zanpakuto against Maki but for some\nreason chose not to. The reason she chose not to may be a feeling it wasn't\nneeded or it may have to do with the second thing, she's still recovering.\n\n 2. **Rukia's soul is still damaged due to Aizen ripping the Hogyoku out of her soul at the end of the previous Soul Society arc.**\n\nLater on in the arc, Rangiku says that Hisagi told her that Rukia's soul was\ndamaged before and that her soul takes longer to heal than her body. This may\nbe referring to the events of this arc but given Rangiku and Hisagi (who\nhaven't seen Rukia in a while) seem to know about it it seems likely this soul\ndamage is leftover from something prior and Rukia has explicitly had her soul\ndamaged rather recently when Aizen tore the Hogyoku out of her. This could\nimply that Rukia was ordered to stay in her Gigai to heal and while she could\ntake on her Shinigami form (as she does while mind controlled) it would hamper\nher recovery.\n\nNote: I've never watched the Bounts arc (I've only read the manga, whereas the\nBounts arc was anime-only).

[ { "body": "\n\n## Long Answer\n\nI reviewed episode 7, _Showdown! Inuyasha vs. Sesshomaru_ , which is the\nepisode where Sesshomaru loses his arm. During the fight, Inuyasha doesn't\njust cut off the arm; he slashes up the whole length of the arm (Sesshomaru\nwas in dog form at the time), likely damaging it extensively. In fact, I\ndidn't see the arm afterwards. I didn't see it fall off and I didn't see it on\nthe ground at any point afterwards, which might imply that it was\ndisintegrated. Even if it wasn't disintegrated, it's likely very badly\ndamaged.\n\nNow, on to whether it's even possible Sesshomaru's arm could come to life. The\nanswer is maybe, and it goes back to the Great Dog Demon, his father. The\nTesseiga, Inuyasha's sword, is actually made from the Great Dog Demon's fang,\nand the Tenseiga, Sesshomaru's sword, is derived from the Tesseiga. So, just\nlike Kirinmaru, the Great Dog Demon did lose a part (a fang). Whatever\nhappened in this case is going to be more applicable to Sesshomaru, given\nwe're talking about his father here. And what is the case with the Tessaiga\nand the Tensaiga? Actually, it seems both do possess some sentience.\n\nFrom the Tessaiga's [wiki](https://inuyasha.fandom.com/wiki/Tessaiga):\n\n> The Tessaiga also seemed to possess a mind of its own, as it has been seen\n> guiding Inuyasha, such as wanting to be drawn or giving him advice in\n> certain situations; this was a trait Tessaiga shared with Sesshōmaru's\n> Tenseiga.\n\nFrom Tenseiga's [wiki](https://inuyasha.fandom.com/wiki/Tenseiga):\n\n> Tenseiga had a slight form of sentience, as there could be seen at various\n> points where it was communicating with Sesshōmaru, and expressed to him\n> things such as a desire to be drawn or prompted him toward certain actions\n> for the benefit of others; namely young Rin.\n\nand\n\n> Much like the Tessaiga, Tenseiga shows some degree of sentience. As it\n> sometimes requested to be drawn, or in _3000 Leagues in Search of Father_ ,\n> Tenseiga told Sesshōmaru to save the life of Kanta's father.\n\nI believe the two swords primarily communicate by pulsing, which is then\ninterpreted by their wielders. I'll admit I don't feel particularly inclined\nto scour all of this very long show to find these moments. Let's just conclude\nhere that these swords came from the Great Dog Demon's fang, and they might be\nalive in some capacity.\n\nNow, I've heard it said that the reason Sesshomaru couldn't reattach his arm\nor regrow it was due to it being cut by Tessaiga. The author even said\nsomething to this effect, though I can't find the interview to check what\nexactly was said:\n\nFrom Tenseiga's [wiki](https://inuyasha.fandom.com/wiki/Tenseiga):\n\n> According to Rumiko Takahashi, Tenseiga could not heal Sesshōmaru's severed\n> left arm because it was cut off with Tessaiga.\n\nThe citations say this come from page 172 of _Zusetsutaizan Ōgikaiden_ , which\nseems to be one of those fan-book things and was called _InuYasha Profiles_ by\nViz when they released int in English.\n\nWhat does this mean as far as Sesshomaru's arm taking on a life of its own? Is\nit not possible because it was cut off by Tessaiga? Actually, if I'm not\nmistaken, we have an answer for that! That's because Kirinmaru's parts were\nalso cut off by Tessaiga! Tessaiga was an originally a weapon used by the\nGreat Dog Demon, and he used it (or a sword that looks like it to me, at\nleast) to cut off Kirinmaru's arm and horn during their battle. Unless I'm\nwrong and that wasn't actually Tessaiga (which is a real possibility, as I'm\nnot extensively familiar with Inuyasha lore and when things happened), this\nmeans at the very least that being cut off by Tessaiga is _not_ a reason that\nSesshomaru's arm couldn't come to life.\n\n## Short Answer\n\nThe body parts of dog demons _might_ come to life when they're cut off, or at\nthe very least they might have some sentience, but we can't really know for\nsure. Sesshomaru's arm _might_ have been too wrecked from that fight to take\non a life of its own afterwards, even supposing that's a thing it could do in\nthe first place. Frankly, I don't believe the world of _Inuyasha_ is logically\nconsistent, so the whole discussion might be moot.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2022-08-29T20:55:39.307", "id": "67225", "last_activity_date": "2022-08-29T20:55:39.307", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "19307", "parent_id": "67138", "post_type": "answer", "score": 3 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\n1\n\nThere's definitely something up with _changing_ from last name to 1st name,\nbut it's not necessarily about being rude. It's usually about being closer.\n\n> in Japan people generally don’t call one-another by their first name. Doing\n> so can be a mark of disrespect, unless you’re very close to the other person\n\nRight so, if you're around the same age and have _no prior established\nrelationship_ then usually you don't use 1st name when you _1st meet_ the\nperson. In such case, using 1st name would be rude. Here, they're not meeting\nfor the 1st time. And in the specific case of Nino and 'Kintarou' (I'm just\ngoing to say 'Kintarou' without quotes to mean 'Fuutarou under the disguise of\nimaginary relative \"Kintarou\"') using 1st name would imply they've [gotten\ncloser/friendlier](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/66757/1st-\nepisode-why-does-raiha-call-itsuki-by-1st-name-presumably-without-knowing) or\nthat Kintarou is more comfortable with Nino or something.\n\nAlso notes:\n\n * Note 1.1. **Kintarou to Nino** : Kintarou, unlike Fuutarou, hasn't exactly met any of the quints, so Kintarou doesn't quite have a reason like 'I would call you by last name, but since you're siblings, I guess I'll have to use 1st name'\n\n * Note 1.1.1. I don't think Kintarou has even addressed Nino by _any_ name prior to this scene, at least in the anime. (Coincidentally, I don't think Nino has addressed Fuutarou by _any_ name prior to this episode, at least in the anime, except in the [1st opening](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/66495/the-quintessential-quintuplets-aka-%E4%BA%94%E7%AD%89%E5%88%86%E3%81%AE%E8%8A%B1%E5%AB%81-is-%E5%B1%8A%E3%81%8F%E3%82%93%E3%81%A7%E3%81%99-it-reaches-a-mondegreen). I think Nino usually just addresses Fuutarou as 'anta'/'anata' and even refers to Fuutarou as just aitsu/soitsu/koitsu. The 1st time I think is just in this episode where Nino calls Fuutarou and says 'Moshi moshi Uesugi?')\n\n * Note 1.2. **Nino to Kintarou** : I don't think it's told what Kintarou's last name is clamed to be, but it's probably Uesugi i.e. Kintarou and Fuutarou are paternal relatives, probably 1st cousins. So, I don't think Nino would address Kintarou as Uesugi-kun (and a fortiori Uesugi-san).\n\n * Note 1.3. **Kintarou to Nino again** : In particular, notice that Kintarou [doesn't use a honorific eg Nino-san](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/95318/how-relevant-is-gender-in-comparing-last-name-kun-chan-compare-to-1st-name-san):\n\n> In high school, among boys groups, they never use san and kun each other\n> since they can talk casually. (...) But when they talk with girl students,\n> they use san. ESPECIALLY when they call the girl’s first name, they use san\n> not to be regarded as so intimate with each other.\n\nI'm not sure if it's really expected in Japanese for Kintarou to not use\nhonorific, but if it isn't, then I figure Nino can have the same reaction for\nan address of either 'Nino-san' or 'Nino' and then the use of 'Nino' instead\nof 'Nino-san' is a slip-up. This may be part of the bigger slip-up that\nFuutarou gives away that Kintarou somehow knows that Nino is good at cooking.\n\n2\n\nRe Fuutarou to quints: I suspect Fuutarou would've liked to call them all by\nlast name and without honorifics the way in Kaguya-sama Miyuki Shirogane calls\nothers by last name and without honorifics (Shinomiya, Fujiwara, Ishigami,\nIino, etc). (It may or may not relate to Miyuki's lack of keigo or whatever.\nSee [here](https://youtu.be/-o9xX077SRI?t=230) from 3:50 - 4:10.)\n\n * For honorifics: They're Fuutarou's tutees and are of the same age, so Fuutarou doesn't really need to call them with honorifics.\n\n * For last name: But since they all have the same last name, Fuutarou just goes with 1st name.\n\n", "comment_count": 6, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2022-08-19T12:30:36.947", "id": "67146", "last_activity_date": "2022-08-20T07:56:38.430", "last_edit_date": "2022-08-20T07:56:38.430", "last_editor_user_id": "4484", "owner_user_id": "4484", "parent_id": "67143", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

From there, people have made different\nvarieties according to their preferences and currently, there has been a set\ndefinition as for length for each type of knee-socks. \"Knee-high socks\" are\nconsidered to be about 40 to 50 centimeters long. “Over Knee-high socks” are\n50 to 60 centimeters long. “Thigh-high socks” are over 60 centimeters long.\n\n## Why do people stick with \"Knee High socks\"?\n\nThere has been data collected from the male population who would consider that\nlegs and thighs to be an important part of sexual attraction and since knee-\nhigh socks do emphasize those parts of the female body, it explains why that\nmale population recognizes the attraction.\n\nThen there's _[Zettai\nryōiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettai_ry%C5%8Diki)_\n\n**Ref** : [Why Can’t We All Stop Falling In Love With \"Knee-High\nSocks\"?](https://otakumode.com/news/55f0f1350d424743261e5c27/Why-\nCan%E2%80%99t-We-All-Stop-Falling-In-Love-With-%E2%80%9CKnee-High-\nSocks%E2%80%9D-Let%E2%80%99s-Unravel-The-Mysterious-Attraction-Of-\nIt!#:%7E:text=Since%202006%2C%20as%20branch%20off,up%20the%20cuteness%20or%20sexiness.)\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2022-08-25T12:22:45.310", "id": "67208", "last_activity_date": "2022-08-25T12:34:33.753", "last_edit_date": "2022-08-25T12:34:33.753", "last_editor_user_id": "2516", "owner_user_id": "48011", "parent_id": "67206", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]
