Natsu loves anything that's covered in fire. Justified as it's his [Power-Up Food](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PowerUpFood) aside from fire itself.\n\nWhy is this so? Is it relevant?

"body": "\n\nAs senshin says, it's kind of a bizarre question since people in real life\noften do this too, but as our _raison d' etre_ here is to overanalyze\neverything, here goes.\n\nIn most of the cases the OP lists, as well as most of the ones I can think of,\nthe quirk of obsession with a single food makes a character seem childlike and\nimmature. While adults have likes and dislikes, they tend not to be as extreme\nwith them as children and teenagers. An adult might like ramen, but a teenager\nwill like ramen so much that they eat nothing else, and have to be\nhospitalized for lack of vitamins.\n\nThis portrayal can serve a few different narrative purposes:\n\n 1. It makes a character seem charmingly simple-minded. Naruto and Luffy are both heroes after the mold of Goku: they love eating and fighting and have lofty goals that seem unattainable to other characters. Having them obsess over ramen or meat goes with being oblivious and childish. Ren in DearS, or Ayu from Kanon, are also childlike characters, and their love for melon bread / taiyaki helps create that image.\n 2. Conversely, it can add a charm point for a character who seems unapproachable. This seems to be why Shana loves melon bread. It's also why the Monogatari series's immortal vampire Oshino Shinobu loves donuts. Angel Beats's main character Otonashi first bonds with impassive Kanade after he notices that she keeps ordering tongue-burning mabo tofu in the cafeteria. I would also put L here. While L and his successor Near are pretty much always the smartest person in any given room (we can debate about whether that's true when Light is in the room), and have command over various police forces, they also have strange, childish quirks: in L's case, constantly eating sweets, and in Near's case, constantly playing with toys. \n\nAn interesting case of (2) is Code Geass. The show had some kind of product\nplacement deal with Pizza Hut. Supposedly, the director thought putting Pizza\nHut all over the place was funny (I heard this claim on [an ANNCast\nepisode](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/anncast/2015-09-08/.92657)), so they\nwent to ridiculous lengths to put Pizza Hut boxes in as many scenes as\npossible. The character C.C., mostly a pretty formidable lady, has an\nobsessive love for Pizza Hut which surpasses her love for life itself.\nAccording to the [Code Geass wiki](http://codegeass.wikia.com/wiki/C.C.):\n\n> C.C. also has a somewhat obsessive penchant for pizza, especially Pizza\n> Hut's Cheese-kun (which sponsors Code Geass in Japan); she constantly orders\n> pizzas to Lelouch's house using his credit card, much to his chagrin. This\n> is often used for comedic effect. Her love for pizza is so strong that she\n> is willing to risk herself being captured, twice nearly exposing herself to\n> get a piece of a giant pizza being made by the Student Council (which is\n> ruined both times); both Lelouch and Kallen sometimes refer her as \"Pizza\n> Girl\". In addition to this she is an avid collector of Cheese-kun related\n> merchandises and is often seen hugging a Cheese-kun plush doll.\n\nThe Pizza Hut logo was blanked out of the US versions of the show, apparently\nbecause [Bandai couldn't make a deal with Pizza Hut in the\nUS](http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=29764).\n\n",

The best guess is that it takes more chakra to revive\nsomeone who has been dead a long time, and Nagato was very low on chakra after\nhis fight with the village and Naruto. He consumed all of his remaining chakra\nwhen he used Rinne Rebirth and died because of lack of chakra. The full limits\nof rebirth were never actually given and the jutsu was only used twice in very\ndifferent circumstances. When the King of Hell was used to revive the Asura\nPath (mechanical) when it was in pieces, it was put back together.\n\nEdit: Also note, Obito used the jutsu and had all 9 Tailed Beasts extracted\nfrom him in less than an hour, but still survived and was able to fight not\nlong after that.\n\nAlso, I do not know how to link images, but if I did, I would post one that\nshould be on the same chapter as the first ones you linked, a few pages\nearlier, which has Konan specifically talking to Nagato, saying something\nabout using the Rinne Rebirth jutsu at his current chakra levels. The specific\nwords are based on the translation, but they all heavily imply that he did not\nhave enough chakra to both use Rinne Rebirth and live. We know chakra\nexhaustion will kill a Shinobi directly from Kakashi, who used Kamui and\nexhausted his charka. He still lived after that for at least a few panels to\naccept his coming death before he actually died. Nagato had just fought an\nentire village almost alone, then blew it up, and then fought the Nine Tails\nand barely lost. He for certain had used up a massive amount of chakra, and\nreviving tens of thousands of people probably costs a ton of chakra as well.\nHe was still alive after the jutsu was done for a little bit before his death,\nsame as Kakashi.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThat's completely wrong. If they were indeed 4 years older than Kakashi, they\nshould have been a lot taller than him when they were part of Team Minato.\n\nAnyway, it's not said exactly how old they are, but judging by the fact that\nmost ninja students become a Genin or get graduated at the age of 12, and\nsince these are the birthdays of the characters:\n\n * Rin is born on November 15\n * Obito is born on February 10\n * Kakashi is born on September 15\n\nthere are some scenarios we could come up with (imagine the world of Naruto\nbeing 2005 and 2006):\n\n 1. All three of them are born in the same year, making them all the same age (12) and making their age order like this: Obito>>Kakashi>>Rin, making Obito 7 months older than Kakashi and 9 months older than Rin, while Kakashi being 2 months older than Rin.\n\n 2. They are born in different years: making it look like if Rin is born in 2005 and the other two in 2006, then it's Rin>>Obito>>Kakashi, making Rin only 13 years old, while Kakashi and Obito are 12, and are 10 months and 3 months younger than Rin, respectively. \n\nIf you mean the current timeline, obviously Rin is dead, but Kakashi was 26-27\nyears old in part 1, and 29-31 years old in part 2, same for Obito. This will\nautomatically make Rin 29-31 years as well, if she was still alive.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n**tl;dr: Utena probably wins because of some sort of spiritual or moral\nquality she has.**\n\n# Why is Utena able to win?\n\nIn Utena's second duel, Utena is losing until she \"absorbs\" power from the\nprince. Moreover, Touga, who is watching the duel, says:\n\n> What was that just now?! Was that the power to bring the world revolution?\n> The Power of Dios?!\n\nThis indicates that Utena is probably aided by something that has nothing to\ndo with her sword skills---probably whatever the image of the prince\nsignifies, as the image frequently appears falling from the sky or imposed on\nUtena's body just before she deals a finishing blow.\n\nIncidentally, in ep. 15, Mamiya says, of the Student Council members:\n\n> Swords strong enough to defeat Utena Tenjou may have crystallized inside of\n> their hearts!\n\nMikage counters this by saying that the \"weak-hearted fools\" on the Student\nCouncil have already been defeated by Utena before. The emphasis here isn't on\nthe physical abilities of the duelists. Thus, there might be some \"spiritual\"\nor \"moral\" aspect to some of the duels.\n\nI should also note that in some of the cases, it's not surprising that Utena\nis able to beat the duelists, even if we don't consider any \"unnatural\"\ncauses. For example, in ep. 5, Utena wins the duel after Miki becomes\ndistracted (when Anthy cheers on Utena). Similarly, in ep. 29, Juri leaves the\nduel after her locket is broken.\n\n# Who is the prince?\n\nIn Saionji and Touga's ep. 33 conversation, Touga says that Akio saved Utena\nas a child by showing her \"something eternal\".\n\nLater, in ep. 34, the flashback to Utena's childhood in ep. 34 indicates that\nthe prince who saves Utena is the prince whose image appears in Utena's duels.\nThis is the Rose Prince, who in second flashback is revealed to be Dios and\nAnthy's brother.\n\nAkio must then be a degraded version of the prince, or a \"fallen\" Dios---in\nthe flashback, it is stated:\n\n> the prince [the Rose Bride] loves is no longer the prince she knew. Not\n> anymore. He is now the End of the World.\n\nThus, Touga might be right about Utena winning with the \"Power of Dios\".\n(Being not entirely sure what the \"Power of Dios\" is, I hesitate to say that\nthis completely explains Utena's victories.) If so, perhaps she is channeling\nthis power towards the end of the duels, when the image appears.\n\n",

(Compare: [You wa Shock!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9s8C6qnLQk#t=34s))\n * Hence, I claim that this wordplay is clearly intentional, and that Japanese listeners would recognize this. \n * The song is quite explicitly \"from\" Yui \"to\" Ui. I don't know whether the dub translates the songs, but in essence, the lyrics are all about Yui saying how she needs Ui to be there for her, and how thankful she is for Ui being in her life. \n\nHopefully this answers your question.\n\n",

In episode 11:\n_Charmander – The Stray Pokémon_ , Damian bragged about his collection of\nPokémon and there was a large number of Pokéballs (more than six) in front of\nhim. In episode 13: _Mystery at the Lighthouse_ where Ash caught his Krabby,\nMisty told Ash that he could only have six Pokémon, and any more he caught\nafter that would be sent back to whomever gave him his Pokédex.\n\nSpeculation: So, maybe if you have a Pokedex it forces you to only keep six\nPokemon and people without one don't have to follow the rules?\n\n> Why Does Pokémon have a Six Pokémon limit?\n\nIn early episodes, Ash talks about the rules of Pokémon battles that the\nPokémon League set. For example, he tells Team Rocket it is against the rules\nto use two Pokémon at once. Presumably the six Pokémon limit is one of these\nrules. Most trainers will probably follow the six Pokémon limit because of the\nPokémon League's rules, but it isn't clear why the bad guys would follow the\nrules. And in the anime, as evidenced by Damian, it isn't clear whether they\ndo follow that rule.\n\nEdit: In _Pokémon: Black and White_ , catching a seventh Pokémon works\ndifferently than it did when Ash caught his Krabby. Rather than being\ntransported back to a professor, the Poké Ball shrinks and won't open and Ash\nhas to get to a Pokémon Center to transfer his Pokémon. This inconsistency is\nfirst seen when Ash catches a Sewaddle in _[Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel\nForest!](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/BW018)_ and is seen again when\nAsh catches a Palpitoad in a later episode.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n**According to Wikia**\n\n 1. The offspring generally possesses the strength of the Saiyans and develops abilities far more easily than Earthlings. \n\n 2. Hybrid Saiyans possess the potential to become Super Saiyans but it is unclear how many generations can separate a hybrid from their Saiyan ancestor before the transformation becomes impossible.\n\n 3. It is unclear if these hybrids possess a naturally greater potential than their Saiyan parents. Gohan repeatedly demonstrated a hidden power that, when harnessed, made him more powerful than even Goku or Vegeta, and when he and Goku trained to battle Cell. \n\n 4. It is unclear if Hybrid Saiyans may become Super Saiyan faster than pure-blooded Saiyans. Gohan become Super Saiyan at the age of 11 (9 in the manga). Trunks and Goten were able to make the transformation to Super Saiyan at a far younger age than their fathers, at the age of 8 and 7 respectively.\n\n 5. Further, it is unknown if quarter Saiyans, such as Pan, have a lesser potential than half Saiyans or pure-blooded Saiyans. Most importantly, Pan doesn't transform into Super Saiyan, or it's simply because it is harder to transform for females.\n\n \n**According to my knowledge**\n\n 1. In the series, either Goku, Gohan or Future Trunks said that half-blooded Saiyans can transform into Super Saiyan earlier than pure-blooded Saiyans because they possess the Earthling's rich _emotions_ and _feelings_. Since turning into Super Saiyan requires to be highly emotional, this makes half-blooded Saiyans transform at a very young age.\n 2. I don't think it's because half-blooded, so it's weaker than pure-blooded. For example, Goku passes down his ascendant gene to Gohan, so Gohan has the _potential_ to surpass Goku. It takes training. In Cell Game Saga, Gohan trains in Hyperbolic Time Chamber together with Goku, and he ultimately surpasses Goku. If he trained non-stop like Goku, he might have become Super Saiyan God.\n 3. Obviously, the more generations, the lesser the Saiyan's blood in their body. I don't know if that works with Saiyans, but in real life it does. In the 10th generation, or roughly 300 years later, the Hybrid Saiyans will become 1/1024 Saiyan-1023/1024 Human. As you can see, Hybrid Saiyans are not likely to transform into Super Saiyan, but they still possess enhanced strength.\n 4. Maybe someday either Bulma or Bulla invents a device that can release the hidden potential, making it easier to turn into Super Saiyan.\n\n",

In the\nanime episode _Lost Leader Strategey_ , it is shown that Paul's brother Reggie\ntakes care of his Pokémon.\n\nInformation about the referenced episodes can be found at\n<http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/>\n\n",

Ranging from when the Pokemon looks\nbeat but then gets back up, or there's another fight also going on at the\ncurrent moment, they still take about a whole episode per battle. If you tried\nincluding the other trainers in the gym, then that could maybe at an extra 3\nepisodes per part of the series that ash gets to a gym. Also, the only time\nyou would've seen the other trainers was in that animation of _pokemon\norigins,_ where they added the mega stone to go with the Charizard. Even then,\nyou didn't really see ash fight the other trainers in Brock's gym, you just\nsaw them.\n\nHope this helped, \\- Matt\n\n",

In _Pokémon Adventures: Diamond and Pearl\nPlatinum_ , Lady Berlitz usually does battle the other gym trainers and\ncomplete the puzzles of the gym, however it is usually glossed over. Instead,\nthe manga usually focuses on Diamond and Pearl as they try to catch a glimpse\nof Lady's progress since they are barred from entering the earlier gyms. For\ninstance, in volume 2, Lady Berlitz visits Gardenia's gym. On page 13, the\nguard statue explains that Lady Berlitz has to defeat four trainers hidden in\nthe forest maze and then make her way to Gardenia. On page 15, after getting\nkicked out of the gym, Diamond and Pearl find a window to watch the gym\nchallenge and discover that Lady has already reached Gardenia:\n\n> It's amazing, Pearl! Lady got through the maze already and beat all of the\n> preliminary trainers! She's already facing Gardenia! \n> -Diamond, _Pokémon Adventures: Diamond and Pearl Platinum_ Volume 2, pages\n> 14-15\n\nSome later gym puzzles, such as the math problems in Fantina's gym, were shown\nmore explicitly.\n\nLikewise, in the _Black and White_ chapter, gym puzzles were shown. At the\nfirst gym, the puzzle was to step on a switch representing the Pokémon type\nthat was effective against the Pokémon type on a series of curtains. When\nBianca interrupted Black's gym challenge by stepping on an incorrect button,\nthe three gym leaders agreed to a three-on-three battle if Cheren and Black\nhelped her out and the three of them made it through the curtains.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIn short, it's just a hero name which is flashier than reality. Pun intended.\nSome more recent translations have switched to using \"Flashy Flash\" instead of\n\"Lightspeed Flash\" specifically in order to avoid the light speed comparisons,\nand to better reflect the silliness in his Japanese name (Flashy Flash is a\nfairly literal translation).\n\nIn a couple pages of the webcomic we're actually given a timer on one of his\nactions, which allows some rough estimates of travel and attack speeds. [This\nforum post](http://comicvine.gamespot.com/forums/battles-7/saitama-vs-\nmeliodas-1667719/?page=1#js-message-16163193) (which is itself a summary of a\npost somewhere else but which I don't have a link for) contains the\ncalculations on said pages, and estimates both his movement and attack speeds\n(arm speed during a punch) at around 2.3% of the speed of light, which isn't\neven fast enough to warrant relativistic corrections. It's hard to say what\nthe error margin is on those, for a variety of reasons, though it should be\nwell within an order of magnitude--20% of the speed of light would warrant the\nuse of special relativity, at least. However, the calculations also assume\nthat ONE's depiction of the scene is reasonably close to scale (and his\ndrawing skills make that questionable), and that he actually drew it to that\nscale after deciding how fast he really wanted Flashy Flash, aka Lightspeed\nFlash, to go. The scene in question also occurs during a very serious sequence\nwhere Flash knows that many of the best combatants in S class have been\ndefeated, so it is reasonable to assume this is near or at his maximum speed.\n\nThere hasn't been an official description of how fast he truly is, so this is\nthe best we've currently got on his capabilities.\n\nHere are the webcomic pages in question:\n\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/JZgKU.jpg)\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/w6iky.jpg)\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/tI6kk.jpg)\n\n",

We see that after the banquet was interrupted, the\nhuman Renzu did have a grand child with unique powers.\n\nSo can anyone please make it clear for me about how Renzu could have had a\ngrandchild, supposing she had drank the whole Kouki (as was probably intended\nby the Mushi).\n\n",

It is there\n> that a sadistic, remote-controlled bear named Monokuma appears before them,\n> telling them they will be imprisoned in the academy for the rest of their\n> lives, and that they will be put to death if they violate any of the schools\n> rules.

If not, everyone but culprit gets executed.\n\nWhat is supposed to happen if there are 2 or 3 players left?\n\nI'm not so naive as to think that what is supposed to happen is what actually\nhappens, but I think there should be a rule for that.\n\nIf there is no explanation in the anime or other media, please state such and\nif applicable why no explanation is needed (I might be overlooking something\nobvious).\n\nLiar Game had a rule as to what happens in Minority Rule if there are only 2\nplayers left. There was some detail about it. I don't think explaining that\nrule spoils the manga or series: If there are 2 left, the prize is split. To\ndrop out, half of the prize must be given back, whatever the amount of the\nprize is (half of the full 2.1 billion or half of 1.05 billion).\n\nPS I'm done with the anime.

One Piece has a lot of cultures involved, so it's not\nthat surprising to have some crosses, or a Bible like Bartholomew Kuma, and in\nthe case of Mihawk it's more a reference to vapires. Asuna was part of a guild\nthat have a holy symbol, the cross that she have remember the guild's symbol,\ncrosses like that it's commom in medieval themes and in RPG games, like Sword\nArt Online. Most of medieval animes or animes that have magic use the western\nculture, so a lot of crosses and \"sisters\" appear. And I think is not because\nof the crosses, just the western culture it's more popular in this genre of\nanime and has more variety of things.\n\nIf you search, most of the animes are not related to crosses or to\nchristianism, just a few, and because that I say again, it's just the genres\nof anime that you like xD\n\n",

(In a sense.) In DGR1 Chapter 4, [Sakura kills\n> herself](http://danganronpa.wikia.com/wiki/Sakura_Ogami#Chapter_4_-_All.E2.80.A2Star.E2.80.A2Apologies)\n> by drinking poison.

The verdict of the trial is that Chiaki, inadvertently or not, was\n> the direct cause of Nagito's death, as ruled by the students and Monokuma.\n> Chiaki is thus deemed the blackened, and is killed by Monokuma, as it\n> usually goes. This case technically had witnesses and didn't at the same\n> time. Whether that factor affects the ruling of the trial is purely\n> speculation. My guess would be that it would _not_ affect the ruling.\n\n3.\n\n> No cases of unanimously agreed upon \"self-defense\" occur in the game, so\n> this is one of those scenarios where we can't say for sure.

In both of those trials, there was no evidence that even if\n> they were found to be instances of self-defense, that the culprit would be\n> pardoned. My guess would be that even if the death of another student was a\n> result of unanimously agreed upon self-defense, the killer would still\n> become the blackened, and be punished if discovered.\n\n4.\n\n> This doesn't happen in the story, so there's no way for us to know, but if\n> it were to be ruled a suicide, then all the points in #1 apply.\n\nHowever!\n\n> It's unlikely that this situation would come to pass, as Monokuma is shown\n> to go to great lengths to protect the lives of individuals _outside the\n> scope of the trial and the victim/murderer setting_ , in accordance with the\n> rules (you know, when he feels like it.) To be specific, Fuyuhiko nearly\n> dies as a result of the events at the [end of DGR2 Chapter\n> 2](http://danganronpa.wikia.com/wiki/Fuyuhiko_Kuzuryu#Chapter_2_-_Sea_and_Punishment.2C_Sin_and_Coconuts),\n> but, after being spurred on by the other students, goes out of his way to\n> save Fuyuhiko's life, because Fuyuhiko was ruled not the blackened. So, my\n> guess is that either any accidental self-inflicted death would either be\n> proactively prevented by Monokuma, or ruled a suicide and tried as such.\n\n5.\n\nMonokuma is described somewhere in the games as \"judge, jury, and\nexecutioner,\" meaning he is the one who ultimately decides the _truth_ of any\ncase, and he is also the one who enacts punishment.\n\n> At the end of [DGR2 Chapter\n> 2](http://danganronpa.wikia.com/wiki/Peko_Pekoyama#Chapter_2_-_Sea_and_Punishment.2C_Sin_and_Coconuts),\n> Peko attempts to argue with Monokuma that despite the fact that she was the\n> one who killed Mahiru, it was Fuyuhiko's will for her to do so, and thus\n> Fuyuhiko was the \"true\" blackened. However, Monokuma rejects this argument,\n> stating that Peko was indeed the killer, and that it is Monokuma's place,\n> not any student's, to decide regardless.\n\n6.\n\n> This doesn't exactly happen in the story, but there is a case close to it.\n> At the of [DGR2 Chapter\n> 3](http://danganronpa.wikia.com/wiki/Mikan_Tsumiki#Chapter_3_-_Trapped_by_the_Ocean_Scent)\n> it is revealed that Mikan is responsible for a double homicide, but further\n> that her personality was completely changed (or perhaps more accurately,\n> \"restored\") after being afflicted by the \"despair disease.\" She was\n> correctly ruled the blackened, and received punishment the same as any of\n> the other cases, so there is strong evidence to support the case that having\n> a dissociative identity disorder or other personality shift is no excuse for\n> murder, and the body containing the multiple personalities is punished\n> wholesomely. Regarding Toko from DGR1, she was never involved in a murder,\n> so we have no idea what would have became of her.

"body": "\n\n**TL;DR** \"Additional school regulations may be added if necessary\"\n\nAs unsatisfying as it is, the only answer as to what happens in the event of a\ndraw during voting is we do not know. It has never occurred and Monokuma would\nlikely have just made up a rule on the fly if it ever did (it wouldn't be the\nfirst time he made up rules when it suited him).\n\nIt should also be noted the elaborate setup in the question is unnecessary, a\ndraw is always possible whether there is an even or odd number of students and\neven in the first class trial of a killing game, the vote isn't strictly\nguilty / not guilty like it is in a real criminal trial by jury, you vote for\na person and nothing stops multiple people from having the same number of\nvotes. In a hypothetical game with 16 students where one has died and its come\ntime to vote, if 7 people vote for student A, 7 people vote for student B and\nthe last person votes for anyone else the vote is tied.\n\nThe only rules that pertain to voting are the same across all 3 main games:\nRule #8-9 (D1: THH), #6-7 (D2: GD), #3-4 (DV3: KH) \"If the blackened is\nexposed during the class trial, they alone will be executed\" and \"If the\nblackened is not exposed, all remaining students will be executed.\" These\nrules assume that voting will single out a single person and this has always\nbeen true. Whether these cover ties is up in the air, you could argue so long\nas one of the people who is tied for most votes is the blackened it counts but\nMonokuma might also disallow ties and force another vote (whatever he thinks\nwill cause more despair). With that in mind the relevant rule is \"\n**Additional school regulations may be added if necessary** \".\n\nAt various points in the series ambiguity with the rules or the setup of the\ngames come into question forcing Monokuma to add a rule such as Rule #15 in\nDV3 \"If two different murders by different murderers occur at the same time,\nonly the one whose victim was found first will be the blackened\". Which is a\nnatural question to raise in the event of a double kill. As well as Rule #11\nin D1 \"The guilty party may only kill a maximum of two people during any\nsingle 'Killing Game.'\" Which assures students a serial killer can't kill\neveryone else and win by default. If a relevant situation ever came up\nMonokuma would have figured something out but what form that solution would\nhave taken is left to speculation\n\n",

The body\ndiscovery announcement serves as the prelude to the investigation which leads\ninto the class trial, it cannot be skipped.\n\nThis seems to conflict with a different rule in the rulebook Rule #7 (D1),\nRule #5 (D2) and Rule #2 (DV3) phrased as \"Once a murder takes place, a class\ntrial will begin shortly thereafter. Participation is mandatory for all\nsurviving students\" in D1 and D2 but \"Once a murder takes place, all surviving\nstudents must participate in a class trial\" in DV3. The first phrasing implies\nthat an investigation will trigger soon after the murder no matter what but\nthis isn't even true within D1 (expanded upon below) and the DV3 phrasing\nbetter communicates the core of this rule, that being all surviving students\nmust attend the class trial **or else** (although the consequences of missing\nthe class trial are never explained).\n\nThe proof that there is no class trial without a body discovery announcement\nis integral to the plot of D1 _**spoilers for Trigger Happy Havoc**_ :\n\n> In Ch 5 the body discovery announcement plays for the half blown up body of\n> Mukuro Ikusaba, The Ultimate Soldier and \"yet unseen\" 16th student in the\n> killing game.

A class trial was\n> not held for Mukuro as this happened (presumably because the rule pertains\n> to corpses and Mukuro hadn't died by the time she disappeared from view).

Never having the body found is counterproductive. We also know\n> from the alternate ending of Ch 5 that if nobody is murdered the remaining\n> students never graduate and remain trapped in the school forever.\n\nAn additional note pertaining to what it means for a \"body\" to be discovered.\n\n> A half blown up body counts (D1 Ch 5)\n\n> A skeleton picked clean by piranhas counts (DV3 Ch 2)\n\n> Even a blood stain and sleeve sticking out from a hydraulic press counts\n> (DV3 Ch 5).\n\nThis suggests that \"evidence of a body\" counts as a \"body\" for the purposes of\nthe body discovery announcement. Whether this applies to a body thrown in an\nincinerator or a volcano is unclear, but again, a murder without any trace of\na body is counterproductive to winning the game, if the body cannot trigger\nthe body discovery announcement then the class trial needed to win will never\nhappen.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n**EDIT** : Leaving the old answer as it was mostly accurate at the time of\nanswering, but new canon after the manga ended via the movies, non manga\nsources, and Boruto series have changed it.\n\nKaguya was in fact an alien. As revealed in the Boruto movie and series,\nKaguya was from another planet/dimension. The reason she came to Naruto's\nplanet is believed to be because it had a Chakra fruit and Shinju tree. What\nis clear is that she knew of other Ōtsutsuki and feared them, building the\nWhite Zetsu army to help defeat them in battle when they came, but its not\nclear if she ran away or was sent there and effectively betrayed her clan due\nto corruption caused by all the power she obtained, especially considering\nMomoshiki's dialog before he departed for earth.\n\n[Kaguya Otsutsuki\narticle:](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kaguya_%C5%8Ctsutsuki)\n\n> As time passed, however, Kaguya began to lose trust in humanity as the power\n> she now held ultimately corrupted her, which changed her public image from\n> that of a benevolent goddess into that of a Demon (鬼, Oni). This eventually\n> led her to madness, committing acts such as turning victims of the Infinite\n> Tsukuyomi into an army of White Zetsu, in preparation for Ōtsutsuki\n> descendants from another world coming to Earth to steal her chakra for\n> themselves.\n\n[Momoshiki Otsutsuki\narticle:](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Momoshiki_%C5%8Ctsutsuki)\n\n> Momoshiki was approached by Kinshiki, who had observed substantial tears in\n> Kaguya's world, with its space curvature exceeding 16. After Kinshiki noted\n> that she violated their clan's laws by failing to report the abnormal space\n> curvature, Momoshiki wondered whether she had betrayed the clan, or had\n> somehow been overthrown and destroyed by the \"inferior lifeforms\" inhabiting\n> her world.\n\nThe rest of the old answer (again, apart from the fact that she is in fact an\nalien) is correct, at least from the perspective of the original manga, or\nmore specifically Hagoromo.\n\n**Old Answer:**\n\nKaguya was a Human Who ate the Chakra fruit of the Shinju tree\n\n> \"A millennium ago, Kaguya, longing for peace, believed that it was necessary\n> for her to attain god-like powers in order to put an end to all of\n> humanity's conflicts. For that reason, she defied the taboo of consuming the\n> fruit of the Shinju. Using her new-found power, Kaguya single-handedly ended\n> the wars, and for her deed, she was worshiped as the Rabbit Goddess\"\n\nNo events before this are clearly described beyond wars and violence, but it\nis implied that Humans before were fairly normal, just like all the normal non\nninja citizens of the Villages. Her powers did include Dimensional shifting,\nas shown in the manga, but the only known case of leaving earth is also\nattributed to Kaguya, when her Sons defeated her and Sealed her body within a\ncelestial body which became the moon.\n\n> In a fit of envy that her own sons had inherited her chakra, Kaguya combined\n> with the Shinju itself and turned against them in the form of the monstrous\n> Ten-Tails. Their intense battle ended with Hagoromo and Hamura separating\n> and absorbing their mother's powerful chakra while sealing her body to form\n> the core of a celestial body that would become known as the moon.\n\nSo if anything, She is just an unwilling Astronaut.\n\nEDIT: NOTE the anime arc involving Kaguya and Hagoromo's past is not in the\nmanga, and mostly filler. We never actually saw Kaguya eat the fruit or know\nwho Hagoromo and Hamura's Father is in the Manga, or if Hagoromo ever had the\nsharingan in any form. The anime even changed Indra's eyes to look like\nSasuke's stars, but in the manga, they were swirls, though the wiki does not\nhave any pictures of Indra in the manga, the Mangekyou Sharingan page does\ndescribe this in at the bottom with a picture of his pattern and a Note that\nthe anime changed it.\n\n[Mangekyou Sharingan\narticle](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Mangeky%C5%8D_Sharingan)\n\n",

I'll edit this part out\nif I am informed that spoiler warnings are unnecessary.\n\nIn episode 107, Palm is caught by Pitou's En while on a mission to infiltrate\nthe castle and catch a glimpse of the king and his guards. Her power makes the\ntactical advantage of accomplishing this mission obvious, but it doesn't make\nmuch sense from a planning perspective.\n\nThe Hunter association was aware of Pitou's ability to detect intruders at\ntremendous distances. They also knew that this ability was in use around the\ncastle; evidence being that Knov's comment about the En barrier being\nunexpectedly lowered, thus allowing him to place portals in the castle.\n\nWith this in mind, it seems that there would be zero chance of Palm succeeding\nin her mission; at best she is made useless by being trapped in the\nunderground compound, and at worst she is captured. The fact that they chose\nto send her on this mission is baffling to me because the characters in the\nshow usually engage in an extremely detailed risk analysis for important\ndecisions.\n\nThe only thing I can think of that would make sense from a planning\nperspective is that they cynically counted on the team's sympathy for Palm to\nget them fired up for battle when they discover she has been captured. In\nother words, a sort of artificial morale booster.\n\nCan someone provide a plausible in-world justification for this mission?\n\n",

The necessary conditions for a D-Mail to work\nare listed [on the Wikia](http://steins-gate.wikia.com/wiki/D-Mail) as:\n\n * > D-Mails are sent through the Phone Microwave and can only be sent from devices connected to the Phone Microwave, such as a phone or a pager.\n\n * > D-Mails can only be sent to someone with a phone (or a pager), so although they could hypothetically be sent back millions of years, they would not have any effect.\n\n * > The number of the target phone is also necessary to send the D-Mail, so they cannot be sent to individuals whose numbers the sender has not obtained.\n\nHence, it's not a plot-hole. Basically, it functions like a normal message\nsent from a mobile to the Phone Microwave _(name subject to change)_ as\nmentioned in the comments. The Phone Microwave _(name subject to change)_\ndoesn't pick-up any random message sent in a nearby zone, which, in size, is\nshorter than or equal to 36 bytes but only the ones sent to it.\n\nThis also tells us that the device sending the message needs to be connected\nto the Phone Microwave and not the one receiving it. As mentioned by\nBuilder_K, the Phone Microwave may be functioning as a relaying device, which\nrelays the message to the target phone as intended by the sender.\n\n",

Her outfit was almost like a sailor scout's, but this\nwasn't sailor moon. The setting was fantasy like, and there was a big emphasis\non traditional playing cards and their suits (Like Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs,\nand Spades). There were other female characters who resembled\nknights/princesses, but again had the whole suits thing going on.\n\nThe beginning of this started with the main character sleeping or relaxing by\na tree on a hill, I remember that distinctly. Two other scenes come to mind,\nbut that's about it. The next scene I remember from this had two gigantic\nchess pieces, a black horse and a white horse, speeding out of control towards\nsomething. This character was trying to stop one of them from the inside and\nprevent it from crashing. I remember this pudgy looking villain chasing her,\nand some fanservice briefly flashes with them accidentally pulling off her\npants in an attempt to catch them (can't believe I remember that).\n\nSomething happens and towards the end the brown-haired main character was\ndrifting in some purgatory-like place, a void of white, and was presented two\ndifferent portals to take. One looked menacing, the other didn't. She ended up\nthrowing one of those playing cards I mentioned, a card with the diamonds on\nit, through one of the portals. Again, there was some symbolism or something\nwith those cards and suits.\n\nThis episode or OVA was on a VHS tape, and I got it possibly 10 years ago. I\nrecall it being dubbed in English, too. I hope that narrows down the scope of\nthings, but this is all I remember. In the credit scene, there were various\nshots of the other characters, females mostly, and they were ridden with\nfanservice, with one princess-looking character in shredded cloths, like she's\nbeen in a battle.\n\nI hope somebody recognizes this, I'd really love to find it again.\n\n",

The\ndub stars [Apollo Smile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Smile) as Coco\nHearts.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/3qqfA.jpg)\n\nAs you remember, it began with a scene of the main character, Jo Diamonds, the\nbrown-haired girl in the center, sleeping on a hill. Most of the OVA involved\nher chasing two giant chess pieces that were somehow the key to ultimate\npower. Opposing her was some random sexy woman, and this fellow:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/9vjo8.jpg)\n\nHere's a picture of them together. I couldn't find it without the caption.\nJust ignore it. Wild Cardz is really awesome.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/nlJzJ.jpg)\n\nThe other characters on the DVD cover are her allies, Coco Hearts (the blonde\nwith cat ears), Casa Clubs (the girl with purple hair and dark skin), and\nSunday Spades (the girl with short teal-hair). None of them really did much.\n\nThe scene where Jo is floating in a white void happens towards the end after\nsome kind of big explosion. It happens for basically no reason, like pretty\nmuch everything in this show.

"body": "\n\nIn most of the cases, yes.\n\nAs mentioned in the article: \"[How Do Anime Budgets Compare to American\nAnimation\nBudgets?](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2015-09-08/.92622)\":\n\n> **The answer is still \"much, much cheaper.** \" The average American 2D TV\n> series like The Simpsons or a Nickelodeon show can cost quite a bit of\n> money, typically US$1-2 Million per episode. The longer a show goes on, the\n> more it costs to produce because most of the creative staff get a bump in\n> pay every season. Recent episodes The Simpsons now cost over $5 million per\n> episode to make -- and Fox has been desperately trying to renegotiate\n> everybody's contracts because the show has become unprofitable. Nobody\n> envisioned the show being on the air for over 20 years.\n>\n> On the low side of things, cable shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender and\n> Invader Zim are estimated to have cost a little over $1 Million per episode,\n> and the really low budget stuff can go down to about $350,000 to $500,000\n> per episode. It's not cheap.\n>\n> **Anime, however, goes much, much lower. A typical show can cost as little\n> as US$125,000 per episode. On occasion a very well-off production can go\n> north of US$300,000 per episode, but that's pretty rare**. Budgets for an\n> anime are never made public, but that's the general level things are at.\n\nThere's also a breakdown of the costs in the Crunchyroll article: \"[How Much\nDoes One Episode of Anime Cost To Make?](http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-\nnews/2011/10/30-1/how-much-does-one-episode-of-anime-cost-to-make)\" as\nfollows:\n\n> Original work - 50,000 yen ($660)\n>\n> Script - 200,000 yen ($2,640)\n>\n> Episode Direction - 500,000 yen ($6,600)\n>\n> Production - 2 million yen ($26,402)\n>\n> Key Animation Supervision - 250,000 yen ($3,300)\n>\n> Key Animation - 1.5 million yen ($19,801)\n>\n> In-betweening - 1.1 million yen ($14,521)\n>\n> Finishing - 1.2 million yen ($15,841)\n>\n> Art (backgrounds) - 1.2 million yen ($15,841)\n>\n> Photography - 700,000 yen ($9,240)\n>\n> Sound - 1.2 million yen ($15,841)\n>\n> Materials - 400,000 yen ($5,280)\n>\n> Editing - 200,000 yen ($2,640)\n>\n> Printing - 500,000 yen ($6,600)\n>\n> If you suppose an average episode has 5,000 frames, the price per frame for\n> an in-betweener is 220 yen or just under three bucks, which apparently is a\n> rate that hasn't really changed much in the past 30 years. Japan Animation\n> Creators Association rep, Osamu Yamasaki, commented [roughly translated],\n> \"30 years ago it was said that one person would draw 1,000 frames per month,\n> but now if you can do 500, that's considered good.\" Under these\n> circumstances, it's no wonder young animators are having trouble making it\n> in the industry.\n\nHowever, that's the general trend in expenses. There are ofcourse exceptions.\nAn anime may cost way more than a particular show for the same duration of\nairing time. There are many such cases. To list a couple of them:\n\n> The Wind Rises had a reported budget of US$30 Million, and The Tale of\n> Princess Kaguya, with its infamous ten year production schedule, likely cost\n> even more. Back in 1987 Akira was made for a then-record ¥1.1 Billion, which\n> would be around US$10.6 Million today.\n\nThe reason for this general trend is because a TV show has to entail the\npayment of actors, writers, director along with sets and equipment such as\ncameras, studio space or shooting on location which adds more money to the\nshow.\n\nThere are some extremely high priced sitcoms as well, such as Friends. In\n2000, it was reported that each cast member was getting $750,000 per show.\n(After all of the perks were added it was $40 million per actor or $240\nmillion dollars).\n\n",

Also, licencing costs money, so odds are that\nif you want something that offers shows for free (especially the newest stuff)\nthen you almost certainly aren't looking for something legal.\n\nFor most regions, CrunchyRoll is still going to be your go-to.

The fact that Kakashi can use (and has\nmastered) more than one chakra nature at this point shows us that the paper\nwill only react in one way. So we can conclude that his original nature, in\nthe Naruto series, was wind; his chakra nature was just not known until that\npoint.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n_Answered for if the first chakra nature will be the strongest attack of a\nninja?_\n\nThere is no such thing as FIRST Chakra Nature. Each and every individual has a\nchakra nature that he has an affinity for, and he can master stronger Jutsu of\nthat nature with much more ease as compared to others.\n\nTo prove my point, what was Sasuke's first chakra nature modification? It was\nFire. but he learnt it after a lot of effort and Uchiha's have the inclination\ntowards Fire Jutsu. But individually his chakra had an affinity for Lightning\nnature and thus he has a larger variety of Lightning chakra moves and mastery.\n\nThus a ninja will have a single nature towards which his chakra leans which\nwill be easier to master. Strength is more of an effort effect. For similar\nstrength, he'd have to work harder to master any other chakra natures...\n\nAn exception I can think of would be Bloodline Chakras. I don't think there is\nany difference in strength of different natures inherited as part of\nbloodline. Yamato using Wood, should have similar competency with both Ground\nand Water chakras.\n\nEDIT: I remember Kakashi saying something to this effect during his battle\nwith kakuzo. What he said was that Kakuzo has used such strong Lightinng and\nfire attacks which can't be used unless the user has natural affinity to that\nchakra nature. This means that the strongest attacks of each chakra nature\nwill not be mastered unless you have a natural affinity for that nature.\n\nWhat I am trying to say is that the jutsu of same level will have equal\npower(strength), but the natural affinity. But higher level jutsu can only be\nmastered if and only if you have natural affinity for the chakra nature. Thus\nabsolute mastery of other chakra natures is not possible.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nLike most other bounties in the series, I do not think that the location or\nthe time at which the photo was clicked will ever be revealed in-universe, so\nhere's what the new bounties make discernible:\n\nHere is a picture of the bounties of the Straw Hats after time-skip for\nreference:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/RTBiq.jpg)\n\n * **Luffy:** It's hard to make out when Luffy's photo was taken as it lacks distinctiveness, but as for where: It was taken on the Fishman Island. My basis for saying this is because he wore that outfit only on the Fishman Island. [This](http://www.renders-graphiques.fr/image/upload/normal/luffy-4.png) was his getup at Punk Hazard, whereas his getup at Dressrosa was [this](http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/e/e6/Luffy_Disguise_Dressrosa.png/revision/latest?cb=20140220084810). As mentioned on the [Wikia article on Luffy](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Monkey_D._Luffy):\n\n> During the Punk Hazard Arc, Luffy wore a long winter coat with red and white\n> horizontal strips, along with yellow ear muffs, which he stole from one of\n> Brownbeard's Centaur Patrol Unit.\n\n> During the Dressrosa Arc, Luffy wore an open, short-sleeved shirt with a\n> sunflower pattern, along with his standard blue shorts and yellow sash. He\n> also wore a fake beard.\n\n * **Zoro:** Based on Zoro's expressions, it is most likely taken just after his fight with Hyouzou on the Fishman Island. That's one of the only two scenes where he wears his bandana after time-skip (the other being in his fight against Pica), but the expression is strikingly similar to one he made after his fight against Hyouzou.\n\n * **Usopp:** Usopp's photograph was taken at the moment when he was crowned God Usopp at Dressrosa with Hajrudin holding him up. The same expression can be seen [here](https://youtu.be/cULkgaBAb10?t=1m15s).\n\n * **Nami:** Based on her pose, her photograph was likely snapped on the Fishman Island when she was with starfish Pappug, creator of the Criminal fashion line.\n\n * **Sanji:** Based on his expression, his photograph is taken on the Fishman Island when he's running to jump in for a swim with the mermaids. The scene is from Episode 528 of the anime.\n\n * **Robin:** It is hard to judge where and when the photograph was taken. All we can say for sure is that she's in her fighting pose, so it's either before or during a fight. A likely candidate for where though, is Fishman Island as that's where most of the photographs have been taken, at Gyoncorde Plaza as she gets ready to fight Hody's underlings.\n\n * **Chopper:** It is most likely taken during a great banquet at the King's Palace as he has a cotton candy in his hand. Most likely, it is the banquet at the palace after the fight with Hody was over. This would put the location of the photograph as Fishman Island.\n\n * **Franky:** He used Franky Shogun at Gyoncorde Plaza and at Punk Hazard. However, the former is more likely to be the location where this particular photograph was taken because that's where most of the photographs are taken, and I don't think there was anyone at Punk Hazard who could have taken this picture.\n\n * **Brook:** It may be from one of his gigs as a Soul King before he continued his journey with the Straw Hats or from a scene during/after his fight with Hody's underlings at Fishman Island. However, as stated in Chapter 801 of the Manga, on [this page](https://i.stack.imgur.com/BRK1D.jpg), it is indeed his concert poster.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n**Censored creatures:**\n\nLikely little. As @Torisuda has mentioned, there's no incentive for them to\ncreate pokemon that toe the line - it's a show for kids, they will want\ninnocent monsters.\n\n * Sexual content/innuendoes\n\nA definite no go area for a kids show\n\n * Violence (gore, mutilations, etc.)\n\nConsidering pokemon only 'faint' and there is purposefully no death in the\nseries, this isn't an issue in character design.\n\nThe only complaints have been at the presence of fighting creatures from\nanimal and religious groups. But even this is unwarranted - i[n 2000, Pope\nJohn Paul II gave his blessing to\nPokémon](http://web.archive.org/web/20000818054740/http://www.nypostonline.com/news/2630.htm)\nand said it did not have \"any harmful moral side effects\"\n\n * Religion references\n\nYou could draw parallels with pokemon and Shinto, but the show is pretty much\nignoring religious references, and quite rightly.\n\n * And others (offensive language, stereotypes, political matters, etc.)\n\nThere is one instance I can think of this, In Western editions, Jynx is\npurple-skinned rather than black, as it is similar to\n[blackface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackface):\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/jCWV5.png)\n\nMost censoring is done before a show hits the market, so if there are more\ninstances, they're probably known only by the production crew - and kept\nsecret.\n\n**Discarded Creatures:**\n\nThere are definitely discarded creatures, but mostly because they were removed\nfor quality reasons. Some of these made their way into later versions of the\nseries (like Ho-oH) and some were simply redesigned.\n\n> At a fan convention in 2010, Shigeki Morimoto (the lead programmer of the\n> first Pokemon games) confirmed that there were originally 190 Pokemon\n> intended to be included in the release of the First Generation of Pokemon\n> games. This is backed up by the fact that for the first 190 of the 255 slots\n> in the hex grid of Pokemon, all slots possess either a valid Pokemon, or the\n> same form of Missingno. All 191 slots and later contain garbage data that\n> produce different glitch Pokemon in each slot.\n\n[Reference.](http://lostmedia.wikia.com/wiki/Prototype_and_Removed_Pokemon_\\(Early_90's_-_2003\\))\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/yU5FI.jpg)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Srd5A.jpg)\n\n",

In the books, he is only ever referred to as a sheepdog, and this is\nconsistent with medieval people classifying dogs by function.\n\nAs mentioned in the question, Enek shares some traits that could associate him\nwith Border Collies. His fluffy tail, erect ears, fur thickness and coloring,\nand leg length are consistent with the Border Collie breed. Enek displays a\nhigh level of intelligence in volume 13 (though this could just be attributed\nto personification), and according to\n<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_Collie>, the Border Collie \"is widely\nconsidered to be the most intelligent dog breed\".\n\nOn the other hand, Enek's physical characteristics could also belong to a\nDutch Shepherd. All the physical traits still match. The problem is that Enek\nis a cartoon and thus his traits are too indistinct to make a definite match.\n\nIn conclusion, there isn't enough information available to definitively\ndetermine Enek's breed. He could be an ancestor of the Dutch Shepherd, Border\nCollie, or some other herding dog.\n\n",

It has many of the elements of space opera, but scope is fairly\nlimited. I don't think any of incarnations of Gundam take place outside of the\nsolar system, and many of them seem to be focused mostly on Earth.

Then in chapter 671: Naruto and the Sage of Six Paths,\nHagoromo talks more about his mother, the tailed beast, the Uchiha Stone\nTable, the reincarnates, and then after he finishes talking he tells them both\nto raise their dominant arm. Once they did, he shared his powers with them.\n\nIn chapter 690: Ninja History page 194, after Naruto and Sasuke sealed Kaguya\naway, it shows Naruto and Sasuke's hands without the sun and the moon. Then on\nthe other page, 195, it shows Hagoromo looking at his hands and it shows that\nhe got the sun and the moon back (on his hands). Then he said \"They've done\nit. All that's left is to bring you back!!\" (depends on the translation\nversion you got) then he clapped his hands.\n\nSo that means Naruto and Sasuke lost Six Paths power before they lost their\narms.\n\nTo answer the other question. No, Sasuke does not lose his Rinnegan. In Naruto\nThe Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring: Uchiha Sarada in chapter 700+6:\nWithout Evolution page 113, it shows Sasuke using Rinnegan. He uses the\nRinnegan in other occasions in the same book.\n\nSide note: I think in Naruto The Last Movie Sasuke has the Rinnegan, but I'm\nnot sure if he uses it. And also if you awaken Rinnegan it is yours\npermanently, so there way no way Sasuke could have lost his Rinnegan.

"body": "\n\nHere's a really good collection of references about Tanuki folklore:\n<http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/tanuki.shtml>\n\nSome of the things that it mentions:\n\n> Tanuki assumed human form, haunted and possessed people, and were considered\n> omens of misfortune. Many centuries later in Japan, they evolved into\n> irrepressible tricksters, aiming their illusory magic and mystifying belly-\n> drum music at unwary travelers, hunters, woodsmen, and monks.\n\n...\n\n> These tricksters can transform into any living or inanimate shape. Real\n> Tanuki live in the lowlands, forests, and mountain valleys, and therefore\n> Tanuki are most often shown playing tricks on hunters and woodsmen. But they\n> also enjoy misleading learned scholars, and therefore shape-shift into\n> Buddhist monks (as do foxes) with a deep knowledge of the sutras. They can\n> cast powerful illusions (like foxes), turn pebbles and leaves into fake\n> money or dung into a delicious-looking dinner, conjure up mirages of entire\n> cities and palaces, appear as one-eyed demons able to produce thunder and\n> rain, rob the bodies of the dead, and cause pebbles to rain from the sky. In\n> some tales, they are even gifted calligraphers.\n\nThroughout, it portrays tanuki as trickters, playing various kinds of tricks\non practically everybody. So it makes sense that the title of the leader of\nthe Tanuki Society is a \"Trick master\". Additionally, the article goes into\nsome detail about the evolution of some of the lore, and less about playing\ntricks:\n\n> Although the Japanese continue to classify Tanuki as a yōkai 妖怪 (monster,\n> spirit, specter, fantastic/strange being), the creature today is no longer\n> frightening or mysterious. Instead, it has shape-changed into a harmless and\n> amusing fellow, one more interested in encouraging generosity and\n> cheerfulness among winers and diners than in annoying humankind with its\n> tricks. Tanuki are also portrayed as cute and lovable characters in modern\n> cartoons and movies -- even as mascots in commercial campaigns.\n\nSo perhaps following the evolution of the lore, the show doesn't portray them\nplaying tricks on people all the time.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nTo prove my theory of reduced gravitational pull, I will bring in some data\nand only use 1 simple equation: **F=mg**\n\n**g** e=9.81ms^-2\n\n**g** g=gravitational pull in gate's world\n\nData:\n\n * Average BMI for a 1.9m (Itami's height) tall person is 23, thus the mass of the person is 83.09kg. Thus, we assume this average person can only lift 90.0kg (above average).\n * We assume Rory's halberd is 100.0kg, far too heavy for that thief and Hideyo to lift. Rory can lift it as she has [Superhuman strength](http://gate-thus-the-jsdf-fought-there.wikia.com/wiki/Rory_Mercury#Skills_.26_Abilities).\n * We assume Rory weighs about 50.0kg (Average 14 year old)\n * Itami is a [Ranger](http://gate-thus-the-jsdf-fought-there.wikia.com/wiki/Itami_Youji#Skills_.26_Abilities). Thus, he should be able to lift up to 170.0kg (below average for a ranger). According to this [website](http://www.muscleandfitness.com/workouts/workout-routines/full-spectrum-strong-army-ranger-workout-0), a ranger should be able to lift up to 400 pounds/181.437kg.\n\nWeight of (Rory+Halberd)=(100+50)(9.81) = **1471.5N**\n\nWeight that Itami can lift=170(9.81)= **1667.7N**\n\nTherefore, Itami should still be able to lift (Rory+Halberd) even if he was on\nearth. However, we will assume he barely trained after his Ranger training, so\nhe can only lift 1470N on earth.\n\nThus, on Gate's world, where the gravitational pull is smaller( **g** g),\nwhich lowers (Rory+Halberd)'s weight from 1471.5N to 1470N so weakened Itami\ncan lift them.\n\n**g** g=1470/(150)= **9.8ms^-2**\n\nNow, I will prove that this lowered gravitational pull will bring no effects\nwhatsoever onto firearms and breathing for Earth's people to answer\n[almost.time](https://anime.stackexchange.com/users/19042/almost-time)'s\nqueries. This is due to the difference in **g** being only **0.01ms^-2**.\n\nFirstly, the maximum height that a person can go before having to\n[acclimatise](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acclimatization) is [2,438\nmeters](https://www.princeton.edu/~oa/safety/altitude.html).\n\n> There are no specific factors such as age, sex, or physical condition that\n> correlate with susceptibility to altitude sickness. Some people get it and\n> some people don't, and some people are more susceptible than others. Most\n> people can go up to 8,000 feet (2,438 meters) with minimal effect.\n\nTo prove there will be no breathing problems, I will use data from this\n[website](http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/standard-atmosphere-d_604.html)\nfor air density at 2000m above sea level.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/xUzPC.png)\n\nThe pressure at 2000m is **7.95x10^4Nm^-2** when **g=9.8**. Thus, at gate's\nsea level, the pressure would be about **7.95x10^4Nm^-2** as well this would\nmean a person can traverse between the gates without suffering any side\neffects as air pressure tends to be almost the same for every 1000m or so.\n\n> For firearms, they can [fire without\n> oxygen](http://www.livescience.com/18588-shoot-gun-space.html) but they will\n> most likely leave behind more residue. Furthermore, it you are worried about\n> **less air pressure=bigger explosion** , do not fret as the projectiles\n> would fly further away than normal due to the lower air density offering\n> less air resistance and a smaller gravitational pull retarding the motion of\n> the projectiles so its range actually increased. Thus, the mortars they used\n> in episode 14 would not have cause possible disasters. Furthermore, a bigger\n> explosion would mean more energy is converted to heat and sound energy than\n> kinetic energy. Thus, it would actually mean that the weapons are less\n> effective in Gate's world compared to Earth as the projectiles now fly with\n> less speed than before.\n\nIt would seem that reduced gravity is not the only possible explanation in\nterms of physics for Itami being able to lift (Rory+Halberd) as I read the\nFire Dragon chapter in the manga and found another possible explanation in\nterms of momentum.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/3IWQ9.png)\n\n> In this picture, you see that Rory is carried differently compared to the\n> anime and this is important as she can be considered a plank while Itami's\n> shoulder is the pivot. According to the [Principle of\n> Moments](http://physicsnet.co.uk/a-level-physics-as-a2/mechanics/moments/),\n> if Rory was exerting an upward force, then she would cause a anti-clockwise\n> moment about Itami's shoulder in comparison to the clockwise moment\n> resulting from the halberd about Itami's shoulder. If she was to exert\n> enough force across her arm to have an anti-clockwise moment equal to the\n> clockwise moment caused by the halberd about the pivot, then the resultant\n> torque about Itami's shoulder would equal to 0. This means that Itami would\n> not have to bear the weight of the halberd at all. Though he has to bear\n> Rory's weight, the halberd would not impede his motion at all due to all the\n> momentum being countered by Rory and we all know a regular person (using\n> myself as an example, I can lift up to 77.5kg) like Itami can definitely\n> lift Rory.\n\n",
