Here he\nmeans to say 旦那へ, which is essentially \"To Boss.\" For some inexplicable\nreason, he uses 江 (\"e\" in this case). へ is pronounced え (e) in modern Japanese\nwhen indicating a direction (I.e. addressing something to someone).

There may have been some kind of scientist\ninvolved with a machine that sent them to these places? But my memories may\njust be getting confused with Pokemon at that point.

Under Lelouch's Geass, Cornelia revealed she was\ninvestigating Marianne's death herself.\n\nFinally, Lelouch didn't have the time to finish her off anyway. Remember that\nwhile he was interrogating Cornelia, C.C tells Lelouch that Nunnally is in\ndanger (due to V.V having kidnapped her). Lelouch's first priority is always\nNunnally as, during the first attack on the Tokyo Settlement, he had the Black\nKnights protect the school because she was there. During the second attack, he\nhad Rolo and Sayoko get Nunnally out of Tokyo and broke down when Nunnally was\nthought to be killed. With Nunnally in danger, he abandons the attack on Tokyo\nand his own vendetta against Britannia so V.V could very have well saved\nCornelia inadvertently.\n\n",

Chapter 232 The One Thing I Couldn't Say\n\nThis is the first time Mavis gave Fairy Glitter for Cana, Cana first intention\nis to show her father, Gildart that she can become an S-Class Mage. She\ntricked Lucy and left her alone. At first, when she reached Mavis's grave, it\nwas sealed and she couldn't touch the grave. But at the end she realized that\nshe only want to protect her friends. So Mavis gave her Fairy Glitter because\nof her pure heart to protect her friends and the guild.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/LlE90.jpg)\n\n## Grand Magic Tournament Arc.

This has\nbeen demonstrated by him many times in the form of his loyalty\n\nHere are a few instances where this has been demonstrated. As the [One Piece\nWiki](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Roronoa_Zoro/Personality_and_Relationships#Luffy)\nputs it:\n\n> Zoro seems to have the most respect for Luffy and this deep respect has been\n> demonstrated on various occasions. For instance, **he was willing to throw\n> away his dreams and ambitions for Luffy's during the appearance of Kuma in\n> the Thriller Bark Arc without the slightest hesitation**.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/ITkV1.jpg)\n\n> When he was almost on the verge of death from his wound from \"Hawk-Eyes\"\n> Mihawk in the Baratie Arc **he tearfully vowed to Luffy that he would never\n> lose again, asking if it was alright with him as Pirate King**.\n\nYou can watch the scene [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJLONXUC3Rk)\n\n> This respect is not only for Luffy as a person, but also because of his\n> position as captain. When Luffy learned that Usopp was planning on returning\n> to the crew during their time in Water 7 and was immediately ready to\n> welcome him back, Zoro made it clear that a crew member who fought against\n> their captain should not be forgiven so easily. Zoro explained to the others\n> that one should respect their captain unconditionally and he would quit as\n> well if Luffy allowed someone to walk all over him like Usopp, who wanted to\n> rejoin without even apologizing for his actions. When Luffy was distraught\n> after having to defeat Usopp, Zoro reminded him that those hard decisions\n> are part of being captain, and that he can not lose himself. He reminds\n> Luffy that if he wavers, the crew has no one else they can trust.\n\nHe gives the said speech [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZBZWi9KuCY)\n\nI couldn't find this scene:\n\n> During the Long Ring Long Island Arc after winning the Davy Back Fight\n> contest against the Foxy Pirates, **Zoro implied of never becoming a pirate\n> if it weren't for Luffy and commented that he'd have no point in being one\n> if he had ever left the ship**.\n\nFinally, there's this:\n\n> **In[Chapter 597](http://mangafox.me/manga/one_piece/v61/c597/1.html) he\n> begged Dracule Mihawk to train him (despite it not being honorable) in order\n> to become stronger for Luffy, his captain. Mihawk comments that in order to\n> make the request Zoro must have found something more valuable than his\n> ambition**\n\n",

"body": "\n\n> I've heard a list of anime referred to as \"The Big Four\":\n\nThe first thing to be aware of is this: the idea of the \"Big Four\" is\nlocalized to the English-speaking / Western (possibly just North American?)\nfanbase. There is not an equivalent notion in Japan. This strongly suggests\nthat an explanation for the \"Big Four\" must involve an understanding of the\nhabits of English-speaking fans.\n\n> What phenomenon are at play that there aren't more than 4 anime like these?\n\nI tentatively am inclined to attribute this idea to the fact that the current\ncrop of teenagers and young adults who are the primary inhabitants of English-\nlanguage anime discussion websites grew up watching these four shows (in, say,\nthe late '90s and early '00s). All four of these shows had a number of\nproperties that were instrumental to their having broad popularity among the\ndemographic in question. In particular:\n\n * they were dubbed in English\n * they were extensively aired on readily-available television channels (especially Toonami)\n * they were _not_ \"kid's shows\" in the same way that something like _Pokemon_ or _Digimon_ is\n * they had multiple hundreds of episodes\n\nThe only other show that comes to mind with these properties is _Sailor Moon_\n, and for simple demographic reasons, it's unlikely that fans of the \"Big\nFour\" would be fans of _Sailor Moon_ , and vice versa.\n\nSo why is this list unchanging? Well, I expect that the list _will_ change in\na few years, when more older viewers phase out of online discussion sites and\nmore younger viewers phase in. (This is a simple consequence of the\ndemographics of anime discussion on the internet - older people get lives and\nstop watching/discussing anime, and new youngfolk with nothing better to do\nfigure out how to internet and start posting about things in their stead.)\n\nThese younger viewers will likely have less exposure to _Dragon Ball Z_ (and\nperhaps _Bleach_ as well) and more exposure to the newest show that has all\nthose properties: _Fairy Tail_. Perhaps there will be a \"New Big Three\" in\n2020, consisting of _Fairy Tail_ , _Naruto_ , and _One Piece_.\n\n> However, it seems that most anime nowadays is 12 episodes, and maybe a\n> followup season of another episodes.\n\nThis was already the case by the time _One Piece_ started airing in 1999 (and\neven earlier than that), roughly speaking. Forever-running shows like the \"Big\nFour\" have long been in the minority. You, the English-speaking viewer, likely\njust didn't notice this during your younger days when you watched the \"Big\nFour\" on television, since these shorter, one-to-two cour shows were less\nlikely to be dubbed and shown on television (and if they were, they probably\nwouldn't be shown during cartoon primetime).\n\n* * *\n\nI should add that I am more aware of the idea of the \"Big Three\" (those four\nminus _Dragon Ball Z_ ) being a thing in the zeitgeist; and indeed, I suspect\nthis is probably because _Dragon Ball Z_ finished up a long time ago, and\nhence is not in vogue with the current crop of people who discuss anime\nonline. (Whereas: _Naruto_ and _One Piece_ are still running, and _Bleach_\nended only relatively recently.)\n\n* * *\n\nRandom832 also points out in [a\ncomment](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/27187/what-phenomenon-are-\nat-play-such-that-the-big-four-are-limited-to-four-and-not#comment37943_27188)\nthat [one article from 2012](http://hubpages.com/entertainment/10-Best-Anime-\nOther-Than-Bleach-Naruto-and-Inuyasha) claims that the \"Big Three\" consists of\n_Bleach_ , _Naruto_ , and _Inuyasha_. This brings to mind an important point:\nthere is no \"official\" notion of a \"Big Three\" in anime - I'm not aware of any\nindustry sources that use the term. The \"Big _n_ \" is what the internet makes\nof it; no more, no less.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nAs said by a user on\n[Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/2m3obb/who_were_the_previous_big_3/):\n\n> **The term was made to refer to those three manga because for a few years\n> (~2004-2009/10) they were absolute juggernauts in sales and popularity\n> rankings.** The term \"big three\" stuck despite Bleach's popularity falling\n> off (starting in ~2008) and Naruto losing a bit of ground over the last few\n> years (largely in the Ninja War arc) as well.\n\nYou can find an article on **The Big Three** over\n[here](http://fanlore.org/wiki/The_Big_3_Manga), because as\n[Senshin](https://anime.stackexchange.com/users/1908/senshin) puts it in his\nanswer, the concept of The Big 3 is much more popular than that of The Big 4.\nTo be honest, I hadn't even heard of that term before reading this question.\n\nAs per the article\n\n> **Many fans agree that a title serialized in monthly installments could not\n> due to a lower publication frequency, which encourages less fan discussion\n> from week to week.** It has been suggested that a Big 3 title could come\n> from Weekly Shounen Magazine, which is Weekly Shounen Jump's closest rival.\n> In this case, the most often cited candidate tends to be Fairy Tail. **Some\n> fans have pointed out that other Big 3's have existed in the past. In the\n> early 90s, the Big 3 was said to have been Dragon Ball, Slam Dunk, and Yuu\n> Yuu Hakusho.** This era is thought of by many people as the Golden Age of\n> Weekly Shounen Jump, when its circulation was at its peak. **A few fans have\n> said that One Piece, Rurouni Kenshin, and Hunter x Hunter were the Big 3 of\n> the late 90s. Most people admit though that no other three titles have\n> dominated for as long as the current Big 3**.\n\nIf you check out the [List of best-selling\nmanga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_manga), it'll be\npretty obvious why Dragon Ball, One Piece and Naruto form a part of The Big\nFour. As for Bleach, the manga had started off pretty strong and the sales\nwere pretty high during the 2001-2010 period.\n\n> **Currently, the Big 3 are One Piece, Naruto and Bleach and have been since\n> 2004.**\n\nThis proves that it's mainly the manga which dominates in deciding which\nseries is a \"Big One\" because Bleach started airing in 2004 and was by no\nmeans a long anime. However, a long running anime and a well received one\nalways gives the manga sales a boost and hence is indirectly a factor in\ndeciding which series belongs to the list. However, it's definitely not the\nmain factor. Atleast not for the current Big 3/4.\n\n> **What phenomenon are at play that there aren't more than 4 anime like\n> these?**\n\nI found a perfect reply to this question\n[here](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/2loghy/what_will_replace_naruto_in_the_big_three/):\n\n> **For me, the big three always seemed to represent the rising popularity of\n> manga. As each series got underway and gained momentum, so did the manga\n> scene itself. These three shounen manga appeal to a specific audience - in\n> my opinion - specially new readers. The manga are relics of a time long\n> past; an era long forgotten. I don't think anything can replace any of these\n> manga, just like how nobody really compares the big three to Dragon Ball\n> Z.** I don't actually think there is significance in these two manga ending,\n> they've been long overdue as their quality has dropped significantly. The\n> only thing to take away from this is how prevalent and awesome One Piece is.\n> One Piece feels like it's still in its prime. I assume new readers will\n> still start with Naruto or Bleach or One Piece, **they still exist. No\n> matter what new shounen appears, it'll hardly attract as much attention as\n> these three.** Otherwise, there would've been a shounen of similar caliber,\n> considering how many years have passed. Some people thought Fairy Tail was a\n> contending shounen, but readers know how that went. The only interesting\n> part of all this is the fact that there exists an older generation who still\n> follow manga and have more developed tastes, which has prompted a\n> significant rise in seinen popularity over the years - in my opinion.\n\nWhat I have to add on to this is: I feel it's unlikely for the list of Big\nThree or the Big Four to expand or be replaced in the near future. The only\nthing that's really stopping that is the existence of a long running manga\nwhich dominates in sales and appeals to a good age variety. Most of the top\nyearly manga sales is dominated by those manga (except of the Big Three) which\nhave received an anime adaption in the near past (case in point: [2015 Manga\nSales](http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1373137), [2014 Manga\nSales](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-11-30/top-selling-manga-in-\njapan-by-series-2014/.81607), [2013 Manga\nSales](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-12-01/top-selling-manga-in-\njapan-by-series/2013) and so on). Most of those manga are short ones which are\ndestined to end in the near future.\n\n",

Her father basically leaves her to pay it off himself? Or something along the lines of that by working on a boat but something happens to his back as part of the plot in the manga.\n\n * Then, she becomes a live-in housekeeper for a writer/author as she gets recommended to him by someone.

However, she's supposedly underage but lies about her age.\n\n * While she works she recognizes this boy whom she met and fought over some kind of food product/rice at the grocery store when they were younger. She finds out he is the son of the person who has hired her at the store.\n\n * Unexpectedly, the author/writer comes in with the person who recommended her to him. The author/writer gets mad at her because she's underage and working there. He asks if the money he pays her is not enough.\n\n * She begs the boy to not tell his mother that she is underage? There's also this part somewhere in the manga where her panties are stolen by a weird man and the author gets her panties back for her. I also think she realized she was developing feelings for this author/writer.\n\nThe manga is also currently on-going as far as I remember!\n\nThanks in advance xoxo :) <3\n\n",

The main reason behind the Sword Ban is\nto prevent heavy casualties on the Amanto's side.\n\nIt also has to do with the way the Samurai wage war. They do a guerrilla\nwarfare, making complete obliteration hard to achieve. The current Jouishishi\nalso performed their terrorism in cities populated with both Earthling and\nAmanto where the use of heavy artillery is out of option. While guns and\nartilleries have both range and power, they are less useful than a sword in a\nclose combat, especially when used by skilled fighter.\n\nThus, we have the sword ban to ensure peace to a certain degree. They even\ncreated the bakufu's lapdog, the Shinsengumi and the Mimawarigumi, compromised\nof former samurais to ensure that the said samurais won't turn into another\nJoui factions.\n\nEdit: About the Wooden Sword, it was also prohibited. The\nCheetah/Leopard/whatever it was amanto in episode 3 of the anime asked Gin who\nthe hell he was for defying the sword ban.\n\nEdit2: Most people in Gintama uses steel swords (see the Shinsengumi, Yagyuu\nKyuubei, the Jouishishi, etc). The only one that uses wooden sword in real\ncombat is Gin-chan. Why do Gin-chan uses wooden sword? If you try asking this\nto him, he'll probably answer with it makes him looking more badass and more\nrecognizable, which is important since he is the main-protagonist. You can see\nthe episodes about Gintaman to confirm this. See the \"n\" there. It is not a\ntypo. There is the episode where Gin-chan meets the editor or JUMP in a train\nand then later helps him devoping Gintaman. Besides, he bought the sword from\nTV shopping anyway.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nTo some degree, Nao's ability to keep up with school is handwaved: other than\nin chapter 139, what we see of her daily life (other than the segment in the\nch. 1 excerpted in the other answer) consists of her visits to her father, and\nwe also do not see much of it anyway. However, I think we have reason to\nbelieve that Nao has not had to abandon her studies because of the Liar Game:\n\n * In chapter 139, we see her in lecture, and her classmate remarks that she's changed lately after Nao comments on a professor's appearance. To me, the classmate's observation that Nao has changed lately, rather than that Nao has suddenly changed after coming to back to lecture after a long absence, best fits in with the scenario where Nao has been regularly attending class.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/jp2gg.jpg)\n\n * So far, the Liar Game rounds do not actually appear to take up that much time, and presumably are spaced out somewhat. If so, it would not be inconceivable that Nao would have been able to go to class regularly even while in the Liar Game.\n\n * The first round takes place over the span of a month, but unlike with the other rounds, there is no set schedule for when players have to act; players would have more flexibility with the timing of their actions. (For instance, players did not have to show up to a game location at a certain time.) Moreover, although, Nao initially coops herself up at home, she is later able to carry on with her daily life: when she and Akiyama take shifts to watch her teacher (ch. 3), Akiyama takes the day shift.\n\n * The second round takes place over three days.\n\n * The first revival round is [thirteen hours long](http://liarsgame.wikia.com/wiki/Revival_Round#Game_Outline).\n\n * The third round is on a \"Saturday the week after next\" (per ch. 29) and takes place over a single day.\n\n * The second revival round takes place on a single day.\n\n * The fourth round takes up two days. (The players go into the mansion at night to rest.)\n\n * The third revival round takes place over a single day. ([It should only last a few hours.](http://liarsgame.wikia.com/wiki/Revival_Round_III#Game_Outline))\n\n * The final round takes place over a single day. (There is never any mention of giving the players a break for the night.)\n\n",

Since he is a first mate to a Yonko, he\n> presumably possesses a great deal of strength. During the Battle of\n> Marineford, Admiral Kizaru chose not to fight him, even though he had just\n> fought the First Commander of Whitebeard's crew and Whitebeard himself.\n\nWe see Marguerite attacking Luffy with an Haki infused arrow here:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/fgNZ7.jpg)\n\n**Benn Beckman being the first mate of the Red Hair Pirates obviously has\nincredible power and Haki.** Since Kizaru as well backed off, it makes it\nevident that Beckmann can imbue his bullets in Haki as well, although that\nhasn't been directly shown yet.\n\n**Another reason would obviously be to avoid engaging in a war with the Red\nHair Pirates/one of the Yonko.** We already saw the kind of power the Yonko\nhave when it took the whole of Marine Power to subdue Whitebeard. **Needless\nto say, had they engaged in a war with Shanks, there would have been many more\ncasualties**.\n\nAs per the Wikia article on [Battle of\nMarineford](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Marineford):\n\n> Shanks threatens both the Marines and Blackbeard pirates alike to have his\n> entire crew involved in the fighting, if they chose to continue the war.\n> With the Gura Gura no Mi under his possession, Teach no longer sees the\n> point in resuming the battle and has his crew depart from the battlefield.\n> As Blackbeard leaves the scene, the **absence of a designated rival and\n> presence of a powerful Yonko** convinces Sengoku to concede to the necessity\n> of a ceasefire, ordering the Marines to tend to the wounded.\n\n**The last and final reason I can think of is that the Marines had already\nachieved their goal of executing Ace and also managed to get rid of\nWhitebeard. There wasn't any reason to engage Beckman in the first place,\nunless they were looking for a needless battle.**\n\n",

"body": "\n\nSeveral of them are actually explained in the [list of Kyoukai no Kanata\nepisodes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Beyond_the_Boundary_episodes)\nthat the OP links:\n\n * Mirai's blood sword is carmine in color, hence \"Carmine\".\n * The defeated youmu drops an ultramarine stone, hence \"Ultramarine\".\n * The Hollow Shadow causes the moon to glow purple, hence \"Purple Moonlight\". (This is also an artistic touch we see throughout the series.)\n * Mitsuki set up chartreuse lanterns in her room as a child when she couldn't go to the festival, hence \"Chartreuse Light\".\n * Mitsuki gets splashed with pink liquid that imparts a horrible stench to her, hence \"Shocking Pink\".\n * \"White World\" takes place partially in a snowy world inside Kyoukai no Kanata where Mirai battles it.\n * In \"Black World\", a black sphere appears above the city and sucks up all the youmu.\n\nClose inspection of the episodes might reveal more such references.\n\nKyoAni did a similar trick with musically themed episode names in Kanon (e.g.\nBerceuse of a Baby Fox, A Dangerous Trio, Lieder Ohne Worte of an Elder and\nYounger Sister; [see\nmore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Kanon_episodes)). While the\ngeneral music theme comes from the title of the series (which is related to\nthe musical term _canon_ , as in \"Pachelbel's Canon\", for instance), the\nindividual titles don't have much to do with their episodes beyond the\noccasional shallow parallel (e.g. \"A Dangerous Trio\" focuses on the trio of\nYuuichi, Mai, and Sayuri).\n\n",

So destroying Fishman island\nmeans destroying the capital of World Government, Mariejois.\n\nQuestions: \n\n * How can Luffy possibly do it? (if he is the destined one because it lies beneath Mariejois and Red Line)\n * Could this be another straw hat guy? or her prediction is just wrong?\n\n",

He could, for instance, bring it to the surface or promote desegragation of the world so an island inhabited by just Fishmen/Merfolk is no longer a thing.\n * Finally, Luffy could be forced to destroy it for strategic reasons such as might be required in the \"alter the Red Line so there is just one Giant Ocean and the world can be easily transversed\" fan theories.\n\nUlitmately though, we don't know what will happened and any theories are\nspeculation. The residents of Fishman Island have been convinced that Luffy\nwill do them no harm, even though that is foolish, as Shyarly's prediction are\nreportedly never wrong.

Ark big enough to carry all Fishmen. The Fishmen kept on protecting the Noah believing that one day Joy Boy would fulfill this. In my speculation this Joy Boy is actually one of \"D.\" Luffy's ancestor, this would make sense why Roger and Luffy was able somehow to hear Sea Kings. Leaving Luffy to fulfill this.\n * Second is the fact that Luffy accepted Fukaboshi's wish to \"bring them to Zero\" or surface of the sea because they're friends, as how Luffy said.\n * Third is the fact that the Straw Hats made a pinky promise to show Shirahoshi around the surface to see the real forest, racoons, etc.\n\nAll these facts \"may\" lead Luffy and his crew to bring the Fishmen to the\nsurface and this could be the very reason for Luffy to destroy the Fishmen\nIsland for some reason like the fishmen might refuse to leave their island\nleaving Luffy no choice but destroy it would be a possibility. Because no\nmatter how I look at it an island kept at the dark bottom of the sea isn't\nsomething nice, something Luffy might think himself. But since the species of\nFishmen are discriminated by the world, Luffy requires power before doing this\nto carry and protect the species under his name like how Whitebeard protected\nthe island as a Yonko.\n\nAs for how to destroy the island.

For instance, I just looked at [the page for Nagisa Misumi](https://web.archive.org/web/20150429123839/http://myanimelist.net/character/5449/Nagisa_Misumi) of _Pretty Cure_ and noticed that no Cantonese voice actress is listed, even though a Cantonese dub exists.\n\n * A Wikipedia article in some language `foo` for a show will sometimes list any voice actors for the dub in `foo` in addition to the Japanese voice actors. Information about dubs in other languages is generally lacking. This would mean that I would have to check (and be able to read) each Wikipedia page in each potentially interesting language. Moreover, I would have to carefully check shows one at a time, which is not convenient.\n\n * Similarly, wikis for a series _sometimes_ contain information about dubs (e.g. a [_Sailor Moon_ wiki](http://wikimoon.org/index.php?title=Sailor_Moon_in_Korea) I found). As a general rule however, this is not the case. For instance, a Cantonese dub for _Revolutionary Girl Utena_ exists, but there is no mention of it in [a fan-made wiki](http://utena.wikia.com/).\n\nIn the case of Cantonese (or even Mandarin), I can usually \"guess\" that older,\nmore prominent shows will have a dub. However, I find it difficult to do the\nsame for other languages that I might be interested in (e.g. German), and at\nany rate, it'd be nice to not have to rely on my guesswork.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThe information that answers your question is on the [Wikipedia entry for\nManga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga).\n\nThey describe the general process about how manga is distributed starting at\nthe \"Magazine\" level:\n\n> **Magazines**\n>\n> Eshinbun Nipponchi is credited as the first manga magazine ever made. Manga\n> magazines usually have many series running concurrently with approximately\n> 20–40 pages allocated to each series per issue. Other magazines such as the\n> anime fandom magazine Newtype featured single chapters within their monthly\n> periodicals. Other magazines like Nakayoshi feature many stories written by\n> many different artists; these magazines, or \"anthology magazines\", as they\n> are also known (colloquially \"phone books\"), are usually printed on low-\n> quality newsprint and can be anywhere from 200 to more than 850 pages thick.\n> Manga magazines also contain one-shot comics and various four-panel yonkoma\n> (equivalent to comic strips). Manga series can run for many years if they\n> are successful. Manga artists sometimes start out with a few \"one-shot\"\n> manga projects just to try to get their name out. If these are successful\n> and receive good reviews, they are continued. Magazines often have a short\n> life.\n\nThen in the next paragraph talks about the collected volumes:\n\n> **Collected volumes**\n>\n> After a series has run for a while, publishers often collect the episodes\n> together and print them in dedicated book-sized volumes, called tankōbon.\n> These can be hardcover, or more usually softcover books, and are the\n> equivalent of U.S. trade paperbacks or graphic novels. These volumes often\n> use higher-quality paper, and are useful to those who want to \"catch up\"\n> with a series so they can follow it in the magazines or if they find the\n> cost of the weeklies or monthlies to be prohibitive. Recently, \"deluxe\"\n> versions have also been printed as readers have gotten older and the need\n> for something special grew. Old manga have also been reprinted using\n> somewhat lesser quality paper and sold for 100 yen (about $1 U.S. dollar)\n> each to compete with the used book market.\n\nThere is also a link to a list of \"Manga mangazines\"\n[here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_manga_magazines).\n\n_One Piece_ currently runs on _[Weekly Shounen\nJump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_series_run_in_Weekly_Sh%C5%8Dnen_Jump)_\nand is also stated as such the second line in the description of its [wiki\nentry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Piece):\n\n> One Piece (Japanese: ワンピース Hepburn: Wan Pīsu?) is a Japanese manga series\n> written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It has been serialized in\n> Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since July 19, 1997, with the\n> chapters collected into seventy-eight tankōbon volumes to date. One Piece\n> follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, a funny young man whose body\n> gained the properties of rubber after unintentionally eating a Devil Fruit.\n> With his diverse crew of pirates, named the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy\n> explores the ocean in search of the world's ultimate treasure known as \"One\n> Piece\" in order to become the next Pirate King.\n\n[Shounen Jump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weekly_Sh%C5%8Dnen_Jump) is\ndescribed as\n\n> Weekly Shōnen Jump (週刊少年ジャンプ Shūkan Shōnen Janpu?) is a weekly shōnen manga\n> anthology published in Japan by Shueisha under the Jump line of magazines.\n> It is the best-selling manga magazine, as well as one of the longest-\n> running; the first issue was released with a cover date of July 2, 1968. The\n> manga series within the magazine target young male readers and tend to\n> consist of a large number of action scenes and a fair amount of comedy. The\n> chapters of series that run in Weekly Shōnen Jump are collected and\n> published in tankōbon volumes under the \"Jump Comics\" imprint every two to\n> three months.\n\nClearly stating that it is a manga magazine, and outlines that series are\ncollected and published in tankoubon volumes.\n\nThe \" _One Piece_ \" [wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Piece) entry also\nstates (at the time of this answer), that there are\n\n> seventy-eight tankōbon volumes to date.\n\nAnd the wikipedia entry for\n[Tankoubon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank%C5%8Dbon) describes it as:\n\n> A tankōbon (単行本?, \"independent/standalone book\") is the Japanese term for a\n> book that is complete in itself and is not part of a series or corpus\n> (similar to a monograph), though in modern Japan it is most often used in\n> reference to individual volumes of a single manga, as opposed to magazines\n> (雑誌 zasshi?), which feature multiple series. It can be used for a novel, a\n> nonfiction work, an economics textbook, a book of beauty tips, a book\n> presenting a coherent set of photographs, an exhibition catalogue that\n> samples earlier books, and so forth in a hardcover format. It is more\n> specific than plain hon, which encompasses such books but also one or more\n> issues of a periodical, one or more volumes (or the whole set) of an\n> encyclopedia, etc.\n\nThis information is slightly more detailed than required by your question, and\na simple search would have hit the Manga entry in Wikipedia.\n\n",

Maybe for himself or of Ciel's. It's\nquite difficult to explain without spoiling the plot - read the manga, it\nshould be updated tremendously by now and you should probably understand the\nsignificance of Tanaka's character.\n\nI might just be making his character seem more important than it is, but all\nof Ciel's old family and his past in general have some sort of hidden agenda -\nthey all know something that we don't: Elizabeth, her family, Tanaka,\nobviously Sebastian knows it all, but Ciel's family comes into play and Tanaka\nwas there from the very start of it all.\n\nAlthough he's ill and perhaps a bit forgetful, he was Ciel's father's Head\nButler (which is a huge deal!) It proves to me that he has some knowledge\nabout many secrets, and that he probably acknowledges that Sebastian is a\ndemon and that Ciel isn't who he says he might be...\n\nBut he holds Ciel very close to his heart, seeing as though Ciel still sees\nTanaka as his grandfather - and he provides him a place to stay even though he\nhas no use to Ciel's \"game\" (revenge). Sure, he's strong, but he's still old\nand human.\n\nIt's obvious that Tanaka will have a part in Black Butler, maybe not soon -\nbut later it will all come through. If you've watched the anime, it shows him\nrecapping the episodes in one episode and he mentions that Sebastian will go\nthrough a \"challenge\" in the end of it all.\n\nYeah, this is very early on in the season. But it's a foreshadowing of events.\nAnd I'm believing that Tanaka is somewhat the narrator to Ciel's life - as if,\nhe already knows his revenge being played out and that he knows Ciel's biggest\nfear... and he knows everything because he survives it all (maybe not on\nCiel's side...)\n\n",

In the manga,\nRed is one of the (if not THE) best trainers of the region. He actually uses\nhis brain in combat. The Pokemon world in the manga is a lot harsher than the\nanime world (Pokemons are used as weapons to kill humans and other Pokemons).\nAsh would probably get destroyed by a random Ratata from the manga. So no, as\nper manga standards (it'd be one of the weakest).\n\nRed's Pikachu is what I call a strong Pikachu. For instance, Red's Pikachu\n(very well trained, and very experienced in battles) has taken out all of\nLance's (Elite Four) Pokemons in one megavolt attack. He's even made Lugia\nfaint with that attack. And Red's Pikachu was about level 88 the last time I\nchecked.\n\nSource: Pokemon Manga and Pokemon Anime\n\n",

He could quickly devise a number of approaches and could switch\n> approaches immediately. He could form and verify any theories he comes up\n> with using small details. In addition to his sheer adaptability, **Madara\n> was knowledgeable on a large variety of individuals and abilities, and thus\n> could identify techniques when used and react with the most appropriate\n> counter to them**.\n\nMeans he was knowledgeable and he was having so much of knowledge that he can\nperform various types of technique by simply observing them. There is no doubt\nthat he was one of the kind with such a great observation skills.\n\nThere also one point which is worth noticing that :\n\n> Madara do not use certain techniques more than once\n\nAlso you may think that performing those technique it take more than 1 year of\npractice before it can be use in real fight. But Madara has large chakra\nreserves which allowed him to fight nonstop for twenty-four hours before\ncollapsing. He was skilled in chakra control as he could perform complicated\ntechniques with a single hand seal. This is partly because he inherited\nIndra's chakra.\n\nThis point is also worth noticing which explains a little about how he can\nperform various technique :\n\n> He is able to identify people and their powers by sensing their chakra and\n> masters the mightiest fire-based attacks in existence: overwhelming streams\n> of fire, gigantic clouds of searing ashes, and powerful fireballs shaped\n> like dragon heads, just to name a few\n\n### There are few more possible explanation which proves that Madara has some\nreal observation skills :\n\n 1. > When Madara awakened his Sharingan as a child, with one tomoe in both eyes. With brief eye contact, Madara could place targets under genjutsu and paralyse them or **relay information**.\n\nSo while fighting he used to gather enough information about the technique\nwhich his opponent uses. You must also note that Madara was in so many fights\nso just think how much experience he is having.\n\n 2. > Madara and his brother Izuna were the first Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan. Madara knew about other users Mangekyō techniques, and was also capable of discerning the mechanics of these techniques with brief observation.\n\nSo he was able to learn all those techniques with brief observation.\n\n 3. > Madara Uchiha noted that the Sharingan can only be used to its full potential when both eyes are together.\n\nThis proves that he observe everything carefully.\n\nAfter noticing all these points there is no doubt that Madara got some serious\nobservation skills and also he always try to use new techniques every time. It\nmight be true that he may have never known about few Jutsu and also he have\nnever used it or seen it anywhere but he may have observed it and may have\nlearned about that new Jutsu before he have tried it.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/U6i4y.gif)\n\nSource -\n\n<http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Madara_Uchiha>\n\n<http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rinnegan>\n\n<http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Madara_Uchiha>\n\n",

AFAIK, Summoning Jutsu is classified as\n[Ninjutsu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Ninjutsu) and [Space-Time\nNinjutsu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Space%E2%80%93Time_Ninjutsu), where\n_Shiki Fūjin_ is classified as\n[Ninjutsu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Ninjutsu),\n[Fūinjutsu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Fuinjutsu) and\n[Kinjutsu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kinjutsu). \n \nAs [**Space-Time Ninjutsu Definition\nsays**](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Space%E2%80%93Time_Ninjutsu), _all\nsummoning-based techniques are space–time manipulation related, as they warp\nthe targets through a dimensional void to the summoner's location._ This makes\na clear classification where _Shiki Fūjin_ is **not** a Summoning Jutsu,\nbecause _Shiki Fūjin_ doesn't classified as Space-Time Ninjutsu. I guess even\nthough Hiruzen is indeed summoning Shinigami, it can't easily state that it is\na Summoning Technique since Shinigami is type of soul creature, maybe it is a\nkind of _Summoning Kinjutsu_ instead of _Summoning Ninjutsu_ or some sort of\nthing. \n \nIn a nutshell, _Shiki Fūjin_ is mainly\n[Fūinjutsu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Fuinjutsu), which seal objects,\nliving beings, chakra, along with a wide variety of other things within\nanother object, such as sealing scroll.\n\n",

Source: Answerman column on Anime News\nNetwork, which is a great resource about the dubbing/localizing process.)\n\nIt takes them extra time and money to find a singer to sing the song in\nEnglish, get access to the instrumental version of the song (unless they\ndecide to create their own instrumental, which is even more expensive), give\nthe singer time to learn and practice the song, and then get them in to record\nsaid song. (EDIT: It may also be the case where even if the dubbing company\nwanted to dub over the song, the song's distributor/rights holder may not have\nallowed it.)\n\nThe alternative is just leaving the song as it is, in Japanese, and slapping\non subtitles for the lyrics.\n\nFor these companies, it just isn't worth the hassle.

As a result,\n> this technique can absorb any ninjutsu based technique, rendering it\n> ineffective on the user._\n\nAs I mentioned just now, there's a major difference, that is the\nclassification. Note that Preta's path corpse's technique is classified as one\nof the _Dōjutsu_ and _Fūinjutsu_. \n \n_Dōjutsu_ , which possesses a number of passive abilities that normal\n_Ninjutsu_ don't. Moreover, _Fūinjutsu_ is also part of the classification.\nRecall what is _Fūinjutsu_ \\-- _Fūinjutsu_ are a type of jutsu that seals\nobjects, living beings, chakra, along with a wide variety of other things\nwithin another object. Ultimately, Hiruko's Ninjutsu absorption technique is\njust an absorption ninjutsu. With any _Ninjutsu_ that possesses larger amount\nof chakra than his absorption technique, he will end up being killed. However,\nPreta path corpse's Ninjutsu Absorption Sealing technique is stronger than\nHiruko's one. Do you remember that Jiraiya sealed Itachi's _Dōjutsu_ ,\n[Amaterasu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Amaterasu) with his [Fire Sealing\nMethod](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Sealing_Method)(A kind of\n_Fūinjutsu_ )? Even the highest level of fire release that cannot be\nextinguished with water or any other normal methods could be sealed, not to\nmention it's absorbed by Hiruko's absorption technique. That's the power of\n_Fūinjutsu_. \n \n \n[Source and info are taken from\n[_Narutopedia_](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Narutopedia). A wiki filled with\nSPOILERS about Naruto series :)]\n\n",

Maps such as [this\none](https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zZwztmn-Kbao.kWSBYf74tdD0) came\nup, and I found [this blog\npost](http://blog.livedoor.jp/seichijunrei/archives/51996451.html) for the\ncorresponding episode (i.e. episode 10). (I had \"misplaced\" this episode when\nI commented on this question earlier, which was probably why I couldn't give a\nquick answer.)\n\n[Here's](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Ts4FI.png) a screenshot of the map. The\nmarkers for episode 10 locations are in green and are isolated from the main\n\"cluster\"---I am reproducing the section in question below:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/94GAK.png)\n\nSo it looks like Kasuga and Nakamura started on Prefectural Route 66 before\nbranching onto Prefectural Route 337. There are also some \"real life v.s.\nanime\" comparisons on the blog I linked to, which verify the locations listed\nhere. It is not clear to me if Kasuga and Nakamura are climbing any specific\nmountain; it looks more like they are travelling north via some mountainous\nroads. Northwards, there seem to only be more mountains.\n\n(I should note that it isn't entirely clear if the rotoscoped locations in the\nanime are supposed to correspond to specific locations in the manga---it is\npossible that some of the locations in the manga were intentionally ambiguous,\nand that anime producers were forced to choose one location or the other.\nHowever, it seems that the best we can do is use the information from the\nanime; I don't recall any more specific information being released.)\n\nIncidentally, Google maps suggests that it is _relatively_ easy to travel from\nKiryu to larger cities such as Tokyo through flat land---it's not even as if\nthe town is _completely_ surrounded by mountains. More likely, the mountains\ntake on some symbolic meaning for Kasuga.\n\n",

{
"body": "\n\n**I would like to start off by saying that their race hasn't been explicitly\nstated in either of the Anime/Manga, so we can only theorize what race they\nmight be from. Most of the evidence points to them being either Enhanced\nArtificial Souls/Humans.**\n\nHere are the possible theories, the facts supporting them and the facts\nopposing them:\n\n* * *\n\n## Theory 1: They are Enhanced Artificial\nSouls[1](http://www.marineford.com/Thread-Bleach-Ururu-And-Jinta-What-Are-\nThey)\n\nWe know that [Nemu Kurotsuchi](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Nemu_Kurotsuchi)\nis the artificially created \"daughter\" of Mayuri Kurotsuchi. He used a\ncombination of Gigai and Gikon technologies to bring her into existence. It's\nlikely that Urahara did the same to create Ururu and Jinta.\n\n**For:**\n\n * They seemingly come from nowhere and live at Urahara's.\n * Both have powers way above anything else a human has shown in Bleach and Ururu even has an \"angry-mode\" when she gets hurt.\n * It shouldn't be hard for Urahara to create Mod Souls, regarding the knowledge he has about Souls, modified Souls and how they work. Someone who can create a Hogyoku can create Mod Souls for sure. Especially since Urahara didn't need to create them from scratch, as they already existed.\n * For Urahara to create a special Gigai shouldn't be much of a problem either. He is the person who created the special Gigai that held Rukia during her two months in the human world.\n\n**Against:**\n\n * It's not impossible for them to be humans inspite of their strength because Inoue and Kannoji are both humans but possess abilities greater than those of normal humans.\n * Unlike Nemu, they have a will of their own.\n\nOne may argue that they aren't robotic (they don't say yes to everything that\nUrahara says), but as Ayase points out in the comments, Kon is a Mod Soul but\nisn't robotic either.\n\n* * *\n\n## Theory 2: They are\nhumans[2](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Human),[3](https://www.reddit.com/r/bleach/comments/18xgln/a_possible_explanation_of_jinta_and_ururu/)\n\nThey are said to be High-Spec Humans on the [Bleach\nWiki](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Human):\n\n> A very small percentage of the Human population develops a high amount of\n> Reiryoku; they are known as \"High-Spec\" Humans. These Humans can see and\n> interact with Reishi-made objects, such as Souls, to varying degrees and for\n> various reasons.\n\n**For:**\n\n * Urahara had the Hougyoku in his possession up until Rukia came to Karakura town and lost her powers. He lent her his special Gigai, with the Hougyoku hidden in it. They could have gained their powers from being somewhat near it. Sado and Orihime gained theirs as an indirect consequence of coming in contact with the Hogyoku, as it caused Rukia to lose most of her powers to Ichigo[Source](http://bleach.answers.wikia.com/wiki/I_read_on_Bleach_Wiki_that_the_reason_that_Rukia_lost_almost_all_her_power_to_Ichigo_was_because_of_the_Hogyoku,_but_when_she_gave_Ichigo_her_power_she_didn%27t_have_it_so_is_this_true), which as Urahara said, was the cause of awakening of powers in Rukia and Sado. From the [Wikia article on Sado](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Yasutora_Sado):\n\n> Urahara then tells them that Ichigo's large amount of Reiatsu leaked onto\n> them and that caused them to gain their powers, and that these powers are\n> what they naturally had to begin with.\n\n * They age like normal humans, whereas Mod Souls do not age.\n\n**Against:**\n\n * Given Urahara's expertise in the matter of Gigai and Mod Souls, it's possible for him to come up with a way such that Mod Souls age.\n * Even though they are stated to be High-Spec Humans on the Bleach Wiki, there is no official source regarding the same.\n\n* * *\n\n## Theory 3: They are Soul Reapers\n\n**For:**\n\n * They always hang around with Urahara and are knowledgable about the Soul Society, Hollows, Quincies and pretty much everything a standard Soul Reaper knows, although they might have just learned about it all from Urahara.\n\n**Against:**\n\n * They do not have a Zanpakuto.\n * They do not have any reason to live with Urahara outside the Soul Society because they aren't exiled from the Soul Society, which Urahara is.\n\n* * *\n\n## They aren't Hollows/Quincies\n\nI say this because:\n\n * Their physical appearance does not match with that of a Hollow, such as having a broken mask or a hollow-hole. As the [Wikia article on Hollow](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Hollow) states:\n\n> All Hollows wear masks, which are formed from the hearts they had lost as\n> Humans. This mask protects the naked instinct which is left in a being after\n> the loss of its heart, and obscures the original identity of the Hollow\n\n * Their appearance does not match with that of a Quincy either:\n\n> The final point of contrast between the Quincy and Shinigami is their\n> respective choice of uniform. While the Shinigami wear traditional, black,\n> flowing hakama, the Quincy wear white, form-fitting, high-collared tunics.\n> They always wear casual clothes.\n\nNeither do they seem to have the power to manipulate Reishi into spiritual\nweapons.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nNobody really knows. There are mystery characters in Bleach and that makes it\nawesome for imagination and infinite possibilities and probabilities! :)\n\n 1. They are perfectly normal children… with superpowers.\n\nI suppose it’s possible that Ururu and Jinta are just normal kids - orphans,\nperhaps, that Urahara kindly adopted. They do age, after all, and it’s not\nlike we don’t have plenty of examples of humans who have super powers. There\nwould still be a question of how they got super powers, of course - and\npresumably Urahara had something to do with that.\n\n 2. They are constructs.\n\nMuch more likely, to my mind, is that Ururu and Jinta are artificial children\ncreated by Urahara. This would explain their super powers, where they came\nfrom, and why Ururu has Urahara’s hair. Plus it’s Urahara. We know that he’s\nsomething of a mad scientist.\n\n 3. Jinta is normal; Ururu is a construct.\n\nA third possibility is that only Ururu is a construct, and Jinta is a\nnormal(ish) human kid. Ururu has done a lot more to be suspicious about - like\nwhen she fought Ichigo with so much power that he ran for his life. Or when\nshe struck an Arrancar hard enough to make him bleed. Jinta has a bat that he\ncan swing pretty hard, but he hasn’t done anything quite as extraordinary as\nUruru. So perhaps she is the only construct.\n\n 4. They were created to fight Hollows.\n\nOf course, whether Ururu and Jinta are constructs or whether they are humans\nwith powers, the question still remains - why did Urahara make / empower them?\nOne idea is that they were created as a weapon against Hollows. That would\nexplain, for instance, why Ururu lost it when Yylfordt appeared and went into\n“Genocide Mode.” Because having a Hollow around made her, um, circuits react.\n\n 5. They were created to fight the Quincy.\n\nThere has been no indication that this is the case. I mention it merely\nbecause, since we are now in Bleach’s last arc, all the reveals that are going\nto happen need to happen in a Quincy context. So perhaps Tite Kubo has saved\nthe reveal of Ururu’s and Jinta’s true natures because they were actually\ncreated as some sort of weapon against the Quincy. Urahara is a guy who likes\nto plan ahead, after all.\n\n 6. They are the shop’s defense mechanism.\n\nOr perhaps Ururu and Jinta weren’t created to fight any specific enemy;\nperhaps they simply constitute the shop’s defenses. After all, what Ururu\nreacted to when it came to Yylfordt was his unusual spiritual pressure - a\nreaction that makes sense if she exists to guard the shop against hostile\nintruders. And for a man like Urahara, on the run from Soul Society with a\nshop full of dangerous (and only dubiously legal) items, having a defense team\nmakes sense. Why he decided to make ‘em kids is an open question.\n\n 7. They are replacements for children Yoruichi and Urahara couldn’t have.\n\nThis, at least, is the theory that the anon sent me along with the request.\nApparently one theory is that Yoruichi either had a miscarriage or simply\ncouldn’t have children, and so Urahara created these replacements. I have my\ndoubts about this one, insofar as it seems dangerously shippy for Bleach (a\ncanon couple with both characters living? What?), and also Yoruichi has shown\nno particular affection for the two kids. But it’s a possibility.\n\n 8. They are mod souls.\n\nNow that Ururu and Jinta have aged, this may be unlikely but hey. Maybe Gigais\nthat age are a thing now. After all, we’ve so far had only one mod soul in\ncanon - Kon. And what we know about the mod souls is that they were created to\nfight, and they were given specific offensive powers (Kon’s seems to be\n“kicking”). Kon himself came from Urahara’s shop - from a box of “defective”\nmerchandise. So if Urahara had one mod soul, why not more? Perhaps Ururu and\nJinta are both mod souls that Urahara rescued, and that explains their powers\nto fight Hollows.\n\n 9. They were created by the Hogyoku.\n\nWe’ve seen new life created in a couple of ways in Bleach. There’s\nKurotsuchi’s creation of Nemu, which seems to be tied to whatever the hell\nKurotsuchi is, and there was Aizen’s creation of Wonderweiss, through the\nHogyoku. Well, we know that Urahara also had the Hogyoku for a while, and we\nknow that the Hogyoku manifests desires. So perhaps Urahara said to himself,\n“Man, I wish I had a couple of kids who happened to be awesome at fighting\nHollows” and the Hogyoku took care of the rest.\n\n 10. Tessai created them.\n\nOr perhaps I am way off base to think that Urahara created them at all. There\nis another guy in the shop, after all, and Tessai’s abilities are as\nmysterious as his past. All we know is that he’s a genius with Kido, and he\nworks with Urahara. Maybe he’s the guy who created Ururu and Jinta, using his\nKido experience. Can Kido even be used that way? Probably not....\n\nAnd I saw a cool theory that Ururu and Jinta are mod souls based off Rukia and\nRenji, and then placed in a Gigai which slowly bonds with the soul inside it.\nRukia's Gigai was going to turn her into a human if she was left in it long\nenough, which explains why Ururu and Jinta age like humans. Them having\ntotally different personalities from Renji and Rukia is weird, but look at\nNemu and Mayuri.\n\n",

Then again, it is also possibe that Jinta is a construct\nmade from Urahara's DNA, due to his physical resemblance to Urahara.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI found an interesting answer to a similar question on\n[Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/2c5chz/question_about_luffy_zoro_and_sanji_at_enies_lobby/):\n\n> **The main idea behind their power jump is that when the Strawhats first\n> fought CP9, they were largely confused and unsure.** All they wanted to do\n> was get Robin back, and only attacked CP9 after they got in their way. Note\n> that in the Galley-La mansion, Luffy tried to reason with Robin first, and\n> only attacked Lucci twice: once to defend Paulie and afterwards while Robin\n> was exiting the room. Zoro attacked Kaku only after Robin was leaving as\n> well. It's the same with Sanji on the sea train; when he kicked Blueno,\n> Sogeking was holding Robin. Sanji wasn't trying to beat Blueno, only make\n> him let go of the kart. **Does that mean the three of them weren't going all\n> out? In a sense, you could argue that: Why go all out on an opponent you\n> don't even need to defeat? Would defeating them have gotten Robin back?\n> Absolutely. But the Strawhats typically avoid conflict unless necessary; as\n> evident by the fact that Luffy only states he'll kick someone's ass after he\n> has a reason too.** I always saw two reasons behind the power jump. **First,\n> CP9 was the strongest group they had ever faced, and forced Luffy, Zoro, and\n> Sanji to become stronger, which I'm sure definitely helped. However, the\n> second reason is that, in order to get Robin back, they had to go through\n> CP9.** They couldn't talk to her like in the mansion, nor could they have\n> kicked Blueno off the kart like on the train. Without defeating CP9, they\n> couldn't get Robin back, and so they put everything they had into their\n> battles because there was no other alternative.\n\nA canonical reference is this:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/cC11i.jpg)\n\n**Another point to be noted is that Luffy's new learned techniques of Gear\nSecond and Gear Third make sense because he had been working on new\ntechniques/moves after fighting Aokiji the first time, and Zoro's Asura can\nalso be explained on the basis of the immense training he undergoes on a daily\nroutine. Nami's learned techniques are mostly just various scientific uses of\nthe[perfected Clima\nTact](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Art_of_Weather/Perfect_Clima-Tact) that\nshe was given by Usopp.**\n\n> After the events in Skypiea, Usopp upgraded the Clima-Tact into the Perfect\n> Clima-Tact, which was first introduced when Nami and crew were trying to\n> catch up to the Puffing Tom with the [Rocket\n> Man](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Rocket_Man). **With a better knowledge\n> of Nami's preferences and a handful of Dials to spare, he changed the Clima-\n> Tact from a party toy with a few combat capabilities into lethal weapon\n> capable of amazing weather powers that only Nami could unleash.** With this,\n> Nami became fully capable of fighting on her own, and just as superhumanly\n> powerful, in a sense, as any other crew member.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIn order for a person to be killed by the Death Note there are only 3 relevant\nrequirements:\n\n * They have to be alive...obviously...\n * You have to write their true name.\n * You have to picture the person as you write it.\n\nEvery person has a true name which can be seen with Shinigami eyes. That name\ndoes not change. There are several details we don't know about how that works\nbut a nickname will never appear there.\n\nYou have two questions:\n\n * Are repeated writings of an alias considered by the Death Note to be intentional misspellings, unintentional misspellings, or just invalid input? \n * What happens if I accidentally write the correct name thinking it is an alias?\n\nIf you write the correct name (spelled correctly) while picturing that living\nperson, that person will die. You do not need to know what you are doing as\nyou do it. So in the case of you last question, the answer is: \"Yes, the\nvictim will die.\"\n\nWe don't, however, have enough information to answer the first question. When\nLight was writing the name of the victim from the first episode he kills in\nthe street, he writes at least 8 different spellings of his name. He knows\nonly one of those could be correct. As the name is among the first 4 (third I\nthink), the victim dies. Light does not die for writing the final 4 nor does\nthe victim retroactively become immune. This is the only time we see so many\nmisspellings of a person's name. The last 4 either seems to be considered\ninvalid input (as he is already about to die) or misspellings that don't make\nhim immune as he is already doomed.\n\nWe can speculate that if the person thinks he knows a person's real name, he\ncannot be intentionally misspelling the name to make that person immortal.\nTherefore, the owner will likely not die from this course of events. This,\nhowever, is just speculation with a limited amount of evidence.\n\nWhat we do not know at all is whether the Death Note will consider the\ncorrectly spelled alias to be a misspelling of a person's given name at all. A\ncorrectly spelled alias is technically not a misspelling so might not count.\nIf the name is very different, it is possible it might not be recognized as\nbelonging to that person so that person is not impacted at all. This is the\nkey point to the question and at no point in the anime or in the part of manga\nI've read has there been anything to clarify this further. I personally would\ngo as far as to say the Shinigami probably don't know the specific answer to\nthis question.\n\n",

She married Keser Keses (who is still related to\nRihal), that became the King in another country (Persia according to\ndescription). I can't remember the motive of her death in Keses' hand, but\nIIRC, it happened very fast, the setting was a party, and Keses was kind of\ndrunk. I only remember Keses was really, really in love with Swarda, but his\nlove didn't seem to be reciprocated, and that became the seed to the tragedy.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/FOxmq.jpg) \nThird daughter Aspasya, with Bahel. I forgot the detail, but yes, they met\nwhen they were young and Bahel was in lower position such as slave. Later,\nmany events happened, and they're separated. Bahel became a man with a very\nimportant status in his homeland (I forgot whether he's a mere rich man or\neven someone with the status of a king/emperor. But, well, in description\ntheir mother also said it's \"great leader in history\"), and only reunited with\nAspasya many, many years later. IIRC the instrument Aspasya played was harp.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/5FUGz.jpg) \nFourth and youngest daughter, Re-Syahrina, later became the last Re-manu, with\nwhat you describe as God of War. I forget his name actually, but searching and\nsearching, I found the name was Eilius. I forget what God Eilius was exactly,\nbut rather than war, it's something more general that descripting chaos.\nFurther search, turned out to be he's God of Destruction, according to [this\nsource](http://www.oocities.org/viorijade/fruit/armian.html).\n\n",

But through his every day training and challenge to\ndefeat his brother Ace he created and discovered his very first technique\n_Gomu Gomu no Pistol_. And created more techniques as he discover more ways to\nuse his ability. Another example is his Second Gear before he needs to sit to\nactivate it but later after training and practice even standing he can\nactivate it.\n\nAs for Bartholomew and Foxy since we haven't seen their story we can assume\nthat they also discovered it through the same process or accidentally\ndiscovered it. They did a lot of tests to discover a more effective way to use\ntheir power. For example Foxy might discovered that when he stick his thumb,\nmiddle, and ring finger together his _Noro Noro Beam_ last longer than using\nonly one of his finger. The same as Bartholomew, he might discovered it\nthrough practice that crossing his finger creates a stronger barrier than just\none finger.\n\nAnother good example is Flamingo.

Hypothetically,\nBartolomeo could have lived his life without finding out if he hadn't happened\nto cross his fingers the right way (assuming that is required).\n\n * Reason\n\nSome users have some idea what their fruit is when they eat it. Others only\nhave partial knowledge of their abilities. The Barrier Fruit is based off a\n[children's game](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/11477/how-does-\nthe-barrier-taunt-work?s=2%7C1.2216). If Bartolomeo knew that he had this\nfruit, they could have tried to enact that game to see if it worked. This can\nbe combined with experimentation to improve fruits. Bartholomew Kuma and Law\nseem to have decided to try appying their abilities to abstract concepts and\nstudied their ability to learn how to do this. Other fruits may have simular\nunusual uses that are never noticed as the users aren't as smart as those two.\n\n * Historical Research\n\nDevil Fruits are not single use. They are reincarnated into a new fruit to be\neaten when the user dies. This means, for instance, that Law knew exactly what\nfruit he had before he knew how to use it. There are records and second/third\nhand sources stating what some fruits can do. That is exactly why he knows\nthat you can make someone immortal with it despite having never done so. For\nour repeated example, Bartolomeo might know he has to cross his fingers\nbecause he could have read that it was required. This means, of course, that\nsomeone else must have learned it by on of the first two methods and there may\nbe other unknown uses.\n\n * Final Note\n\nDevil Fruits do not change during the person's life (with Brook as the\npossible exception). A Logia fruit does not itself get stronger as the user\ndoes but the user can get more creative, more practiced, and more experienced\nin combat in general. This means that training can't make the fruit itself\nmore powerful or generate new powers that previously were impossible (only\nundiscovered).\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIn my country (Indonesia), our school uniform has a badge that indicates what\ngrade we are. It was not just my school, other schools here also have it like\nthis. Thus, this is not/no longer (since Indonesia used to be under the\noccupation of the Japanese forces) a Japanese specific culture.\n\nAs to why we have it that way, a page in\n[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_school_uniform) explained\nit well. Basically, the uniform was modeled after the sailor uniform. The\ndifference between Freshman, Junior, and Senior uniform rooted back from the\nrank hierarchy in the army. Think of advancing class as advancing in rank,\nlike from a Sergeant into a Major, and then General.\n\nEdit: Added from the Tomato Cabal Line group discussion (credit to Krazer),\nthe color on the uniforms and shoes denote the year the students belong in.\nThe color is rotated each year. E.g. the color of the graduated senior becomes\nthe color of the new incoming freshman. This is so that you can tell who is\nyour senior and who is your junior. The color is rotated so that you don't\nhave to change color every year.\n\n",
