"body": "\n\nWhile watching some Naruto fights on YouTube out of context (not seeing\nprevious episodes or movies), I noticed that Naruto now has the ability to\n(what looks like) catch fire, and give his Nine-Tailed Fox chakra to other\npeople just by touching them.\n\nNow normally, when using his Nine-Tailed Fox chakra, he turns red and stuff,\nbut this time he looked less like a fox, had a robe, and was bright orange\ninstead of red.\n\nI could have sworn I also saw another flaming ninja, but it might have been\nhis clone move.\n\nAnyways, I'd like to know when, how, why, and what this is and how he\ndiscovered that power.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nAn alternate answer to [Senshin's\nanswer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/33766/1587) is however the [Fortune\nLadies](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fortune_Lady) used by Carly Carmine while\nshe was a Dark Signer in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's series. and unlike her [Fortune\nFairies](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fortune_Fairy) she used before becoming\na Dark Signer the Fortune Ladies are also official cards\n\nwhile the starting level of the Fortune Ladies is initially low, the highest\nbeing 6, their special ability allows them to gain a level every turn which in\nturn affects their ATK and DEF.\n\nso [Fortune Lady Earth](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fortune_Lady_Earth) which\nhas the highest initial Level of 6 needs only 6 turns to reach Level 12 which\nis indicated to be the max their special ability will allow them to go up.\n\nAlso Fortune Lady Earth and [Fortune Lady\nDark](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fortune_Lady_Dark) have the higher multiple\nfor their ATK and DEF out of the Fortune Ladies being 400 which means 400 x 12\n= 4800 ATK and DEF which beats all [12 Star\nMonsters](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Level_12_Monster_Cards) except 3 who's\nATK and/or DEF is 5000 but this can be supplemented with spells and traps.\nwith their much lower tribute cost they are quicker to summon especially Earth\nwho's initial 2400 ATK/DEF is close to the 7 star Dark Magician's who requires\n2 tributes instead of Earth's single tribute.\n\ntheir natural flaw is however the fact that they take some time to get\npowerful unless you use other cards to boost their level. also their special\nability stop at Level 12 which means getting them to Level 12 quicker via\nother cards wont give them as high of a level as if one waited and used the\ncards afterwards\n\n> In the OCG and TCG, monsters cannot have a Level lower than 1, but card\n> effects can freely raise a monster's Level to arbitrarily large values in\n> excess of 12.\n\nSource: [Level](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Level)\n\ndepending on how one plays this wait can be problematic. some strategies which\ncould work is to prevent summoning and use Swords of Revealing Light to stop\nattacks for 3 turns each until a Fortune Lady has enough ATK/DEF to shrug off\nmost attacks\n\n### Fortune Ladies\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/eo8Fs.jpg)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/KxSXk.jpg)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/xwved.png)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/biScx.jpg)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/cOEE1.png)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/asprv.jpg)\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI don't remember seeing any specific instance of monsters having an original\nlevel higher than 12 in the anime, and I'm not sure for a particular instance\nof a highest shown level however:\n\n 1. Some monsters have a ??? or ? level. Sometimes this is because the original level was never revealed; other times it has an effect that derives level from gamestate like some real-world cards do with ATK and DEF (but never level). Some may be implied to be inherently infinite. Super Fusion God has a level of ??? and is a fusion of one monster of each level 1 to 12.\n\n 2. There are some level 0 monsters in _5D's_ (and, funnily enough, these exist in real cards too!) thanks to the Synchro and Negative/Dark Synchro mechanics.\n\n 3. In _ZEXAL_ , Xyz monsters are introduced, which have ranks rather than levels. They are quite comparable. \"New Order 13: Etheric Amon\" and \"Number iC1000: Numeronius Numeronia\" are rank 13. Like the above point, there are also rank 0 cards.\n\n 4. With card effects, any card can have an arbitrarily high level. With looping, any level can be achieved. Level changing is an important mechanic is _5D's_ , _ZEXAL_ and _Arc-V_ for the Synchro and Xyz mechanics. Some cards like the \"F.A. Archetype\", \"Fortune Lady\", and \"Dark Strike Fighter\" have effects based on levels. With a small number of cards, a ridiculously high novel level can be achieved using level lifter on two monsters of the same type with less than 1000 ATK/DEF, discarding a high-level monster (at best, level 12 like \"Yubel the Ultimate Nightmare\" for example) thus making them both level 12. Then use \"Tannhauser Gate\", making both monsters' levels the sum of them: after one use we now have 2 level 24 monsters. Using a second \"Tannhauser Gate\" gets then up to 48 and a third gets them to 96. For now, we will ignore loops which might make it semi-redundant. Supposing you have \"Dark Strike Fighter\" and two suitable monsters (same level, >1000 ATK/DEF), use 2 copies of \"Tannhauser Gate\" and you will be able to drop an opponent from 8000 (or up to 9600) life points to 0 with one use \"Dark Strike Fighter\"'s effect!\n\n",

But, since that is a word that\nvery few people actually know, I can understand why they may not have bothered\ntranslating it.\n\nExpanding out to a multi-word translation, we can look at the definition of\nInterstice. Interstice is a term for the space between two things,\nparticularly when said space is very small.\n\nThe other place I found this term in the Berserk manga was all the way back in\nchapter 114. The Japanese title of the chapter is 魔と人の狭間 (Ma to hito no\nhazama) translated as \"The space between Demon and Man.\" Here again, hazama\ncarries the implication that the space in question is very small...considering\nthe content of that chapter.\n\nSo, when the manga says that Guts lives in the 'World of the Hazama' it is\nsaying that he lives in the 'World Between,' likely referring to the world of\nhumans and the world of demons. To put it in an English phrasing: Guts is\nstanding on the fence between the world of demons and humans.\n\n",

In the manga, Kaneki left Anteku and\nwent off on his own, forming his own group. In the anime, he joined Aogiri.\n\n_Tokyo Ghoul:re_ is a sequel manga, meaning it builds off of _Tokyo Ghoul_.\nThe first season of the anime does only a decent job at covering the story of\n_Tokyo Ghoul_ , and the second season, as noted, diverged, covering only a\nhandful of the biggest plot points. Having only watched the anime, you will\nnot know numerous plot points that are addressed or expanded upon in _:re_.\n\nHowever, in my personal opinion, you will only be moderately confused reading\n_:re_ if you only watched the anime. Thankfully, _Root A_ converged with the\ncanon story line near the end, and had many of the major events occur\nidentically to the manga (albeit several of them in the wrong order, and as\nsuch events that drove them to the order they were in are skipped in the\nanime). So as an anime only viewer, you would have knowledge of almost all of\nthe major plot points.\n\nWith another however here, I can not find one person who would recommend doing\nso. Almost everyone who claims to be a fan of _Tokyo Ghoul_ the manga greatly\ndislikes the anime. Even the top reddit post asking where season 2 starts in\nthe manga is met with universal replies of chapter 1 (as in, pretend you never\nwatched the anime and start the series from the beginning). As noted in [Why\ndid Tokyo Ghoul √A completely deviate from the\nmanga?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/18391/why-did-tokyo-\nghoul-%E2%88%9Aa-completely-deviate-from-the-manga), the differences in season\none are fairly significant, and you are going to be hard pressed to find\npeople who prefer the anime's story over the manga's.\n\nIf you are desperate though, and refuse to read from chapter 1, then season 2\nstarts at around chapter 46.\n\n",

You close your eyes because nerve gear transmits visual data too.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/FA9N8.png)\n\n> NerveGear not only simulates sight and sound, it also simulates taste, smell\n> and even touch. In other words, it can completely immerse players in a\n> virtual world. However, its true potential lies within the fact that it\n> doesn't just send virtual sensations to the user. It intercepts and\n> manipulates the signals sent by the user's brain.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/KwRs2.png)\n\n> When using NerveGear, all the signals sent by the brain are blocked an\n> processed so that they only affect the avatar in the virtual world. This\n> immobilizes the user's physical body. So there's no risk of running into\n> walls in the real world while playing in the virtual one.\n>\n> NerveGear only has one method of input. It is shaped like a helmet that\n> covers most of the user's face. Inside, millions of signal units generate\n> electromagnetic waves to stimulate out brains.\n>\n> Nothing the user \"sees\" and \"hears\" in the virtual world actually comes from\n> our eyes and ears. Everything is manipulated directly in the respective\n> parts of our brain used to process each of the five senses.\n\n* * *\n\n> Lastly, how does a nerve gear kill someone?\n\nIt uses electromagnetic waves to \"fry\" your brain.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/LVmvI.png)\n\n> If these things are attempted, the signal sensors in your nerve gears will\n> emit a **strong electromagnetic pulse**...\n>\n> Destroying your brain and stopping all of your basic bodily functions -\n> basically, **instant death**.\n\n",

There\nare folk tales of a celestial maiden that lost her ability to fly back to\nheaven after her hagoromo (those mantle/ scarves thingy) got stolen.

"body": "\n\nOf course, North Korea is pretty secretive so not much information is out\nthere in the open - but I did contact the owner of [this North Korean manhwa\ncollection](http://heinzinsufenkl.net/comicsandmanhwa.html) and he gave me\nsome insight of his own.\n\n> You'll see that \"Blizzard\" is clearly for an older readership than the\n> others, but most of them are aimed at children. There are also manhwa\n> explicitly used in schools for instructional purposes (how to detect and\n> report spies, for example, along with ones about being a good citizen,\n> student, etc.). It looks like a large percentage of the comics are actually\n> geared for export and are sold in China.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/IaYPLm.jpg)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/JA1zCm.jpg)\n\n> Culturally, it is still somewhat of a stigma, I think, for North Korean\n> adults to be reading comic books, and that's in keeping with their general\n> conservatism. In South Korea, adults began reading comics on a large scale\n> only in the late 80s with the explosive popularity of \"The Alien Baseball\n> Team.\" When I grew up in SK in the 60s, adult readers were either\n> delinquents or women (who would read rented romance series the way we used\n> to get videotapes at Blockbuster).\n\nPart of the appeal of Gekiga works were that they were **gritty** and covered\ntopics like sex and murder. A big feature was that they were drawn like a\nmovie - scenes were dramatic and authours experimented with different angles\nfor the best effect.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/YjfkZm.jpg)\n\nIronically, their comic style for action seems to be similar to american war\ncomics.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/38Q1l.jpg)\n\nI think because of the North Korean's conservatism (and the preference of\nsocialist thought over [freedom of\nexpression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_North_Korea#Freedom_of_expression)),\nNorth Korean artists decline to veer far from the status quo - especially with\nthe threat of 're-education' camps.\n\nA lot of visitors to North Korea liken it to a South Korea in the 60s & 70s\nthat stagnated. Even though Blizzard seems to target an older audience - I\nbelieve it is still targetted at young (army-age) boys, much like the Western\ncomics from that time period.\n\nOther manhwa he linked me to were similarly nationalistic - including one of\nthe most popular titles - Great General Mighty Wing - a thinly veiled advert\nfor juche ideology, a family-based society and a war against evil enemy (in\nthis case, wasps).\n\nSo, just as North Korean society has evolved much slower than the outside\nworld, manhwa seems to have also.\n\n**== Update ==**\n\nA question of mine got featured in [NKNews' \"Ask a North\nKorean\"](https://www.nknews.org/2016/11/ask-a-north-korean-do-north-koreans-\nlike-reading-books/) \\- \"Do North Koreans like reading books\".\n\nFrom someone who lived in the regime:\n\n> one day, North Korea put a new show on TV on which they read children’s\n> stories from other countries during the time when they used to air\n> animations. This new TV program was so popular that all children and adults\n> began waiting for the show. [...] The books adult readers rented were mostly\n> fiction rather than comic books. As far as comic books for adult readers\n> were concerned, they were mostly about Chinese fantasy or stories set in the\n> historical Koryo and Chosun Dynasty.\n\nIt seems while some comics were targetted at adult readers, they still did not\ngo near the topics dealt with in gekiga manga.\n\n> The government ban on comic books was loose. As a result, it was easier for\n> vendors to sell or lend them for profits. But foreign novels usually\n> contained and revealed aspects of capitalism. So vendors wouldn’t display\n> them out in public. Instead, they would only lend them to people they were\n> close to in order to avoid any trouble.\n\nTraditional books on the other hand were monitored more stringently and shared\nvia familiar connections. One of her favourites was 'If Tomorrow Comes'\n\n> The American book, “If Tomorrow Comes,” was a story about a man during his\n> imprisonment. Rape and homosexuality were depicted in the story, both of\n> which were topics inconceivable in North Korea at that time. This is why I’m\n> certain that this story wasn’t written by a North Korean.\n\n**Further info:**\n\nI recommend checking out [this interview](http://www.ttbook.org/book/heinz-\ninsu-fenkl-north-korean-comics)\n\n",

"body": "\n\nNo?\n\n> [...] are they Freeware and Shareware?\n\nFirst things first, we have some terminology confusion here. Nobody describes\nanything besides computer software as \"freeware\" and/or \"shareware\". Manga is\nnot software.\n\nManga, like other creative works, are generally encumbered by copyright, the\nentire point of which is that the creator (i.e. not you) has exclusive rights\nto distribute the works in question. While it is certainly possible to license\none's works more permissively (for some varieties of copyrightable material,\n[Creative Commons](https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-\nconsiderations/) is popular), I expect that you will literally never see\ncommercial manga with a permissive license.\n\n> Can i just take [..] content without authors prior permission?\n\n**larceny** (n.)\n\nthe wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods of another from\nhis or her possession with intent to convert them to the taker's own use.\n\n> Can i just [...] download [...] content without authors prior permission?\n\nWhile you probably shouldn't, and while this is against the law in many\njurisdictions, I seem to recall there being some jurisdictions (probably\nScandinavian, or maybe I'm just making that up) in which only providing (i.e.\nuploading) copyrighted content leaves one legally culpable.\n\n> Can i just [...] store [...] content without authors prior permission?\n\nObviously if you have purchased a volume of manga from a bookstore, you have\nthe right to store it. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may even have the\nright to digitize it and/or make backup copies. Consult a local legal\nprofessional if you really care.\n\n> Can i just [...] transfere [...] content without authors prior permission?\n\nIf you have purchased a volume of manga from a bookstore, you probably have\nthe right to give or sell that volume to someone. In the U.S., this is called\nthe first-sale doctrine, and most reasonable jurisdictions have something\nsimilar.\n\nThe question of whether one can \"transfer\" a piece of electronic content by\nsending them a copy and then deleting all your copies is difficult to answer.\nDepending on your jurisdiction, the law may not have caught up to figuring out\nhow to deal with digital artefacts.\n\nYou probably do not have the right to transfer a copy to someone else.\nBecause, you know, copyright.\n\n> Can i just [...] share content without authors prior permission?\n\nIf you have purchased a volume of manga from a bookstore, you can certainly\nlet your friends read it, unless you live in North Korea.\n\nIf by \"share\" you mean in the sense of electronic peer-to-peer sharing, this\nis jurisdiction-dependent. I would suggest that this is a practice of dubious\nethicality.\n\n> I know about the rules like manga content can't and should not be edited\n> without authors permission and etc\n\nSomehow, you've gotten this part wrong, too. You can probably do basically\nanything you want with manga created by someone else, modulo general\nrestrictions on speech that are applicable in your jurisdiction. If you want\nto redraw _Attack on Titan_ to be about an actual attack on Titan, have at it!\n\nIssues arise when you _distribute_ this derivative content. Derivative works\ntend to have the same copyright protections as the original work, save for\nsome exceptions like fair use.\n\n* * *\n\nThis answer is written in broad generalities because I am not a lawyer and\nbecause there is no such thing as \"the rules\" when it comes to law (besides,\nlike, the Geneva Conventions). If you have specific legal questions, go to\n[Law.SE](https://law.stackexchange.com/) or find an actual lawyer or\nsomething.\n\n",

Popular artists such as Mashima Hiro, Masashi\nKishimoto, and Kubo Tite would most likely have the copyright over Fairy Tail,\nNaruto, and Bleach, given their popularity (which means they would have better\nbargaining power over the contract). Anyway, most of the time the copyright\nholder would not just release their work to the public without nothing for\nthem to gain, which in most case is money. Means that if you want to get a\ncopy of their work, then you have to pay up.\n\nDownloading/copying/scanning (and anything similar to that) is against their\n(the copyright holders) interest, and thus is likely to be prohibited by them.\nOf course if they themselves explicitly permit people to do so then it would\nbe legal for people to do it. For more information about copyright see\n[here](http://www.cric.or.jp/english/clj/cl2.html).\n\nAs far as I know, copyright has expiration time.

This means if copyright holder doesn't complain about the\ndoujinshi, it's not illegal.\n\nMost publishers in Japan don't prohibit doujinshi (at least explicitly), thus\nit's not illegal. It's because many commercial manga authors also create\ndoujinshi, and publishers hire manga author from Comiket, so both are in same\necosystem. If publishers prohibit doujinshi, it also \"kills\" manga authors.\n\nSome mangas like [_UQ Holder!_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UQ_Holder!) or\n[_Knights of Sidonia_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_of_Sidonia)\" were\nmarked explicitly to allow doujinshi.\n\n\n\nSymbol of Doujin Mark License, courtesy of\n[Wikipedia](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Doujin_Mark_first_usage_on_UQ_Holder!_title_20130831.jpg#/media/File:Doujin_Mark_first_usage_on_UQ_Holder!_title_20130831.jpg)\n\nMany 18+ game makers like\n[_Key_](http://key.visualarts.gr.jp/q_a/q_a_nijisozai.html), _Alice_ or\n_Nitroplus_ have explicit permit to create doujinshi based on their game. In\nthis case, doujinshi is totally legal.\n\nBut when a publisher starts to complain about it, doujinshi will become\nillegal. For example, there is a doujinshi that titled \"The last episode of\n[Doraemon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doraemon)\". The original author of\nDoraemon died before writing the last episode and no one knows the story of\nthe official last episode. The doujinshi contains a fake last episode. In this\ncase, the publisher of Doraemon complained and the author of the doujinshi\nstopped distributing it.\n\nThe future of doujinshi is not clear. If Japan join to the\n[TPP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Pacific_Partnership), it will\nenforce US style copyright system to Japan. Many doujinshi authors are afraid\nthat it means the end of doujinshi world.\n\n",

If you remember correctly\nhalf chakra of kurama was inside minato which he revealed in _great ninja war_\n(the yin half). This can be reason for naruto to never go in full bijuu form\nor to obtain a real physical body but just a cloak of chakra. Another reason i\ncan say that kyubi is strongest of all other beasts and his owner naruto is\nmain character . So just to differentiate the power levels and keep main\ncharacter and his beast separate from general crowd kishimoto might designed\nhim to look that way only. :P hope this helps!\n\n",

It is a divine state gifted by Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki to those who have an\niron faith and the guts to never give up.the one consistent hallmark of Six\nPaths Sage Mode are Naruto's eyes: his eyes are yellow, his pupils are a cross\nof vertical fox-slits with horizontal toad-slats, and there is no pigmentation\naround his eyes that would otherwise signify standard Sage Mode. Naruto\nretains the ability to enter Tailed Beast Mode, which, in terms of strength,\nis comparable to Sasuke Uchiha's Complete Body — Susanoo, thanks to Six Paths\nSage Chakra. Through the use of shadow clones, Naruto has shown the ability to\ncombine three Kurama avatars into a single construct with three faces and six\narms, which greatly resembles his ancestor Asura Ōtsutsuki's own chakra\navatar.\n\nHope this helps\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThere have been a lot of incomplete answers. Let us try to combine what all we\nknow. This will be spoiler heavy for those who haven't finished the\nManga/Anime\n\n**TL;DR. When he first used Nine Tales Chakra he COULDN'T go into Bijuu mode.\nHe could once Kurama agreed to work together.**\n\n * Naruto is the jinchūriki of Kurama's Yang half. Due to his Uzumaki lineage and being Kurama's jinchūriki his entire life, Naruto's chakra has more effectively mixed with the fox's, allowing him to perform several chakra-taxing techniques without feeling fatigued. \n * While accessing Kurama's chakra, typically through sheer rage, enhanced Naruto's fighting abilities, the fox's negative influence made Naruto more aggressive and in less control of his actions. This caused him to uncontrollably access Version 1(Tails 1-3 for Naruto) and Version 2 (Tails 4-8 for Naruto) for forms, and needed Kurama's power to be suppressed through various methods to regain control\n\n> **Version 1 – or what Jiraiya calls Naruto's \"demon fox cloak\"** (妖狐の衣, yōko\n> no koromo) – forms a dense shroud of chakra around the jinchūriki. The\n> shroud, a translucent red with bubbles of chakra (reminiscent of boiling\n> liquid) forming all along it, provides a degree of physical protection, but\n> can also harm the user if used to a certain extent. The physical changes\n> experienced in the initial transformation become more pronounced in Version\n> 1 forms. \n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/SYlQ3.png) \n> **Version 2 (バージョン2, Bājon Tsū)** , as described by Sabu, is the tailed\n> beast's chakra being converted into a humanoid shape, granting the\n> jinchūriki an edge in battle without completely releasing the beast itself.\n> Using the jinchūriki's body as a sort of endoskeleton, a dark red, nearly\n> black layer of chakra envelops them. The physical manifestations of the\n> corresponding beast that are vaguely present in Version 1 states become far\n> clearer in Version 2, in a way fully reproducing the beast in miniature:\n> muscle mass increases and beast-specific attributes such as shells and ears\n> become clearly defined. \n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/JMnwj.png)\n\n * Realising he could not avoid using Kurama's power, Naruto sought to learn how to control it with help from Killer B, the jinchūriki of Gyūki, and unexpectedly, his own mother, Kushina. Upon succeeding and taking most of Kurama's chakra, Naruto attains **Nine-Tails Chakra Mode** , which greatly increases his speed, strength, and defences. Because he didn't yet have Kurama's cooperation, however, Naruto needed to exercise extreme caution while using the form, as it could cost him his life. **He can't do the Bijuu Transformation at this point** \n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/EgmNk.jpg)[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/q2vE6.jpg)\n\n * After earning Kurama's cooperation, Naruto can enter the Tailed Beast Mode, but the mode, though accurate in size, is unique as he does not as closely resemble the beast as the other jinchūriki do their own. For all intents and purposes, **Kurama Mode** is a completed version of Nine-Tails Chakra Mode: Tailed Beast Mode without the full transformation, meaning that Naruto is able to use Tailed Beast Balls \n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/vJk1w.png)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/0AR5S.png)\n\n * With the power given to him by Hagoromo, Naruto gained access to the **Six Paths Sage Mode (六道仙人モード, Rikudō Sennin Mōdo)**. In this mode, his eyes become yellow and his pupils take on a cross-like shape — without manifesting the orange pigmentation around his eyes present in Sage Mode. Naruto can also don a new chakra cloak similar to Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, which he can access instantly and maintain much longer than Sage Mode. Naruto's Six Paths Sage Mode cloak changes several times throughout his later years \n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/t6QYz.png)[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/2z8oc.png)\n\n * We see Naruto's Bijuu ability multiple times throughout Boruto movie. He protect the village by stopping the Bijuu Dama kind of attack. Later he and Sasuke combine Kurama mode with Susanoo.\n\n**Now to answer the completely DIFFERENT and Duplicate question. From Reading\nthe comments.** \\- [Why do Kurama and Gyuki appear as chakra while other bijuu\ndon't?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/3314/why-do-kurama-and-\ngyuki-appear-as-chakra-while-other-bijuu-dont) \n\\- Another theory is that Naruto's special seal devised by the 4th Hokage\ncauses this. He used the Uzumaki techniques to create the seal. This is why he\nalso appears in a similar Bijuu form as Naruto. **Thus, this is a host\nspecific form and NOT Jinchuriki specific**. And yeah, Naruto is special.\n[Reddit for this discussion. Contains Jiraiya's And B's comments on special\nnature of Naruto's\nseal](https://www.reddit.com/r/Naruto/comments/45qhg8/why_doesnt_naruto_transform_into_kurama_itself/)\n\nSources: [Naruto Uzumaki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naruto_Uzumaki)\n[Jinchuriki Forms](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Jinch%C5%ABriki_Forms)\n[9-tails Chakra Mode](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Nine-Tails_Chakra_Mode)\n\n",

Naruto/Kurama have gone physical nine tail form in the Pain\nfight when Naruto was stuck in planetary devastation, as you see in Yamato's\nhand during that part Naruto was in stage nine. Even with just Yang side of\nKurama and also without sage of six paths mode. Basically we only see full on\nphysical nine tails Kurama (just skinned) ONCE in the whole series but never\nagain.

Please do not read if you haven't read the manga until chapter 70.\n**I strongly recommend to read the Manga since it is one of the most\nbeautifully written pieces of literature**.\n\n> The walls are created by Titans. Yes, some Titans have a shell-hardening\n> power that can create construction material.

After creating the walls,\n> the Coordinator erased all previous memory of the people inside these walls.\n> The Coordinator has God-like powers and for some unknown reason, every\n> successor of the family bloodline who inherited the Coordinator power,\n> decided that the walls are what is best for humanity. Yet this _evil_ that\n> the Coordinator is trying to protect humanity from, remains unrevealed.\n> Maybe it is a specific human race (or some of them).

There are people\n> (like Grisha Jaeger, or Zeke, or Ymir) who wander who knows where. Armin's\n> grandpa book speaks about _the Ocean_ and all these natural differences from\n> inside the walls. We yet do not know if there are villages or cities.\n\n**My subjective opinion**\n\nThe Walls represent the biggest metaphor of the series. It is a reminiscent of\nthe dominant **us vs. them** ideology in history/war/politics etc.\n\n",

Nodame's demand in the morning to be taken sightseeing\n 2. Nodame's comment in the \"Prelude\" to ch. 53, which takes place around a month before the entrance exams, that she could hold off her departure from Japan until June but would not because Chiaki wanted to leave with her and as soon as possible\n\nI assumed that Nodame did not have to take the entrance exams in Europe, or at\nleast not in France, and that prior to ch. 53, Nodame and Chiaki had not\nstepped foot in Europe. (Nodame's severe lack of French competency and her\nresponse after Chiaki tells her to look up and admire the nighttime Paris\nscenery also corroborates this for me. However, the former could simply\nindicate that Nodame and Chiaki simply were not in _France_ for most or all of\nthe period before ch. 53, and the latter makes sense so long as they arrived\nin Europe relatively recently.)\n\nHowever, at the end of the chapter, we learn that Frank, who lives in Nodame's\nnew apartment building, is French, and that he was the person whom Nodame met\nat the exam. As a result, it occurred to me that the entrance exams might have\nbeen in Europe -- the conservatoire is in Paris, and it would thus be strange\nfor someone already based in France to have to travel a long distance to take\nan entrance exam for it.\n\nIs there actually an inconsistency, or is something wrong in my logic\n(particularly with how I am dealing with (2))? (If my logic is wrong, I\nimagine the anime adaptation, which shows Nodame and Chiaki landing and moving\nin in the same episode, might have played a part in confusing me.)\n\n",

I\nbelieve that both the Alpha and Steins gate world lines are actually conneted\nbefore Okabe's fist encounter with Kurisu. Once he interacts with her in the\nanime it creates the Alpha world line and then when he sets the steins gate I\nbelieve that it is bassaly a fork in the road. Let me explain a little. In the\nanime when Okabe kisses Kurisu he talks about how it will not be stored in his\nhippocampus because it is not his first kiss. I interpret this as he remembers\nhis first kiss with Kurisu but does not know that it was actually her. So in\nboth the Alpha line and Steins gate he remembered the kiss but in steins gate\nhe remembered that it was her so that is what tied him to the Steins gate\nline.\n\n3- I dabbled on this in number 2 but I will explain a little farther. In both\nlines he remembers having a first kiss before going to get Mayuri, but the\ndifference being that in the Steins gate line he remembers the significance of\nthat encounter. In the Alpha line he most likely just remembers a kiss but\nnothing else. The difference is that in the Steins gate line he remembers who\ngave it to him and the story that Kurisu gave him about his future self. This\nis most likely what grounded him to the steins gate line.\n\nLast but not lease 1- This is kind of a blurry spot. I'm not actually sure if\nin that time if she looked like her 13 year old self of if that was just\nsomething they added but I have 2 theory, one more unlikely then the other.\nMost likely this is just something done by the producer but I hate that so I\ncame up with another theory. This is very unlikely, its actually probably\nimpossible but it could be that when Kurisu went back in time to when she also\nwould have been 13 that everyone saw her as the age she would have been at the\ntime. For example, if she were to go to a time where she was just 5 then\neveryone would see her as a 5 year old. This is most likely false due to the\nfact that Suzu was from the future but looked her actual age. Think what you\nwant but when producers do things like that it bugs me so I to would like an\nexplanation.\n\n",

The different type of take overs shown in the\nManga/Anime are Beast Soul, Animal Soul, Machina Soul, God Soul and Finally\nthe takeover done by animals such as the Vulcan.\n\nThe description that we receive is that one can only take over the forms of\n\"things\" that you \"know\". In addition to these there may be other requirements\nfor this magic. Most of the times its the defeat of the target is necessary.\n\n**In the canon ALL the Take Over Magic have been shown by unique users.

Thus it would be _speculation_ to say if any of them are\nunique, I consider them to be of either kind. However, I consider the Lost\nMagics to be most unique. The answer below follows mostly my logic and\nspeculation.\n\n**[Beast Soul](http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Beast_Soul):** _Known User\nElfman; Not Unique_ \n**[Animal Soul](http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Animal_Soul):** _Known User\nLisanna; Not Unique_ \n**[Machina Soul](http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Machina_Soul):** _Known User\nJenny; Not Unique_ \n**[Satan Soul](http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Satan_Soul):** _Known User\nMirajane; Unique_ \nIn the battle against Tartarus we learned a bit about Mirajane's abilities. It\nseems that she has some form of \"Demon Factor\" that allows her to use this\npowerful take over. She is immune to the Demon control techniques even\nopposing them. Thus it seems to be a unique transformation for her. \n**[God Soul](http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/God_Soul):** _Known user Dimaria\n(Spriggan 12); Unique_ \nIn this case we have a clear source of the unique nature of her takeover.\n\n> As the Valkyrie summons the ancient God of Time into her own body, Chronos\n> explains to their audience that he has chosen her as his host as she is a\n> descendant of the people of Mildian, an ancient city that worshiped him,\n> also claiming that he and his host are a single being in this form.\n> **Source: Chapter 475**\n\nThus the god Chronos chose Dimaria as the Vessel.\n\n",

Because in the anime which has already been declared canon (\"\n_somewhat..._ \"), it has been stated that Kaioken on top of SSB is allowable\nbecause it is used on god-ki under **perfect ki control**.\n\nSSR does not have perfect ki control which is why it can only be done via\nritual, and also why Vegeta does not have SSR form.\n\nArguably since the manga and the anime deviate whereas spoilers below for\nanyone who isn't caught up...\n\n> In the battle between Goku and Hit, two different outcomes are portrayed. In\n> the anime, Goku uses Kaioken x10 while in SSB to enable him to overpower\n> Hit's time-skip ability. Doing so makes him unable to control his ki for a\n> period of time, forcing him to warp into the wrong places and leaving him\n> unable to even fly correctly. Now in the manga, Goku transitions between SSR\n> and SSB, throwing Hit's timing out of whack and eventually defeating him. So\n> this brings in two hot topics:\n>\n> **\n> 1.

First, I will explain why\nyour question doesn't have an answer, then I will explain why.\n\n**First off,**\n\n> The reason why the queen killed Ciel's parents\n\nThis is unknown because it is never _truly_ revealed in the anime. In the\nbattle it is alluded to that the queen perceived Phantomhive household as a\nthreat to the throne and had them exterminated. As to why they became such a\nthreat is left unclear.\n\n**Secondly,**\n\n> Why is this unanswerable?\n\nThe contract that Ciel has with Sebastian pertains specifically until Ciel\nsatisfies his revenge. So once that enemy is listed and the conflict is\nresolved, the plot would end _theoretically_. As you probably already know,\nthe manga for this series is still being written by `Yana Toboso` so naturally\nthe **_main_** villain has yet to be revealed and we are still learning the\nhistory of Vincent's past bit by bit as Ciel goes through his adventures in\nservice to the crown.\n\nThe concept of the queen being the killer of Ciel's parents was only explored\nin the anime and IMHO was a fantastic plot twist to keep the anime below 25\nepisodes and very enjoyable, but...\n\n**The black butler anime is only partially canon.**\n\nThe deaths of Ciel's parents have yet to even be explored in the manga. For\nthis reason (among several other inconsistencies with the manga), the anime\nhas several plot holes. If you watch the first season to completion and then\nwatch Book of Circus or Book of Murder (both of which are canon), then the\nplot clearly falls apart.\n\nBlack Butler II and everything that happened in the latter half of the anime\nis **not canon**.\n\nBlack Butler contains the following arcs, more details can be read about them\n[here](http://kuroshitsuji.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline):\n\n * Kidnapping\n * Jack the Ripper (also called the Madame Red arc)\n * Houndsworth (anime only, non-canon)\n * Shard of Hope (anime only)\n * Curry Contest\n * Noah's Ark Circus (manga only, adopted later in the Book of Circus OVA)\n * Haunted Castle (anime only)\n * Book of Doomsday (anime only)\n * Conspiracy and Revenge (anime only, death of the queen and end of the anime)\n * Phantomhive Manor Murderds (manga only, later adopted in Book Of Murder OVA)\n * Luxury Liner (manga only)\n * Public School (manga only)\n * Emerald Witch (manga only)\n * Blue Cult (manga only, and current arc at chapter 117 released June 2016)\n * Black Butler II doesn't have a place in the storyline as of yet, but will be added at the end here because it does exist.\n\nSo a prime example of this is that if the queen was killed in `Conspiracy and\nRevenge`, why is Ciel still taking a mission from her in `Public School` which\nclearly occurred after?\n\nSo to sum all of this up, the manga does **not** support the fact that the\nqueen killed the parents of Ciel. So if the anime did not fully flesh out why\nthat happened then there is no answer.\n\n**PS: I can list the more major plot differences anime-wise and manga-wise,\nbut it will take me time to look up arc names and whatnot so this answer will\nbe getting edited.**\n\n**PPS:** Finally finished all my _major_ edits. Anything else beyond this will\nbe for style and added clarity.\n\n",

If the Quincies\ndestroyed 28,000 Hollow, then there would be a surplus of 28,000 souls in Soul\nSociety. Thus, to maintain the balance, those 28,000 souls would have* to be\ndestroyed; they can't reincarnate since that would preserve the imbalance.\n\n*: Although this does raise the question, why not allow half to reincarnate immediately, but...Mayuri's methods are pretty blunt and direct. The thought may have never occurred to him. Plus, there's no directly stated method that a Soul Reaper can cause a soul to immediately reappear in the Human World.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nSome years ago I shared your confusion, and I kept thinking and thinking until\nI found an answer I was satisfied with. I also wrote this \"answer\" in an\nItalian forum I was part of at that time. To be fair, it did not receive very\nmuch attention, but I want to translate it because I think it could be of some\nhelp (I doubt it to be correct because I believe H. Araki's brain creations\nare too much for anyone to understand).\n\nHere I go:\n\nFather Pucci makes the universe collapse by means of the powers of his Made in\nHeaven. Then, the universe rises again for another cycle of life. The\ninteresting fact, which H. Araki himself explains to us, is that this new\ncycle will be exactly the same as the one before except for the fact that all\nthe living beings that are actually alive when the collapse takes place will\nreturn in the second cycle of life with full knowledge of their future. This\nconsciousness of the future is how Father Pucci believes happiness will be\nachieved by mankind.\n\nThe new history of the universe will be written in such a way as to preserve\nthe faith of who was alive before the first collapse operated by Father Pucci\nthrough Made in Heaven. Details will obviously change, but the main part of\ntheir faiths will be unaltered. As for the dead, something similar happens in\nthe sense that their new lives will be somehow \"connected\" with the lives of\nthose with whom they were connected in the first cycle, but there will be no\nclear knowledge of their faith in them.\n\nIt is clear that Father Pucci is the only living being which is outside of the\n\"written faith\", and he can move arbitrarily in the cycle of the new universe\nbecause of the gravitational powers of Made in Heaven. Since Father Pucci\nknows that Emporio is alive before the collapse, he decided to close the\nsituation once and for all, and goes back to the prison (during the second\ncycle of the universe) in order to kill the little guy.....and this is where\nFather Pucci makes his big mistake.\n\nEmporio manages to survive Father Pucci's threat precisely because Father\nPucci is immune to Made in Heaven's powers. Indeed, we know that the details\nof the lives of those who were alive before the first collapse may change, and\nthis clearly allows Emporio to have some kind of mental and physical freedom\nwith which he is able to think of a plan to kill Father Pucci. Furthermore, we\nknow that Father Pucci's faith is completely open, there is no predestination\nfor him because it is his will to actively keep using his powers the reason\nfor everyone else's fixed faith. This means that, even if Father Pucci can\nliterally decide the faith of the universe, nothing prevents him from dying\nlike the idiot he surely does not want to be.\n\nThen, he dies, of course.\n\nBefore dying, Father Pucci decides to accelerate time again, hoping to prevent\nthe result of Emporio's plan (his death) before it actually realizes. All he\nsucceeds to do is setting a third cycle of the universe, a cycle of which he\nwill no longer be a part. However, Emporio was alive at the time of the second\ncollapse, hence, he will be fully conscious in the third cycle, and thus he\ntries to reconnect with the group. He finds Irene and Anakis, the \"alter-ego\"\nof Jolyne and Anasui, who, however, do not have Emporio's knowledge of their\nfaith and are not able to remember him (they were dead before the first\ncollapse).\n\nIn this third cycle, Father Pucci is no longer there because he died at the\nend of the second cycle, and thus we may safely assume that there will be\nagain a lot of freedom for everyone. Accordingly, I believe that _SBR_ takes\nplace in this third cycle, because, if it had taken place during the second\ncycle, there would have been Father Pucci somewhere in the universe, and this\nwould have made the plot of _SBR_ meaningless with respect to the \"fixed\nfaith\" imposed by Made in Heaven.\n\nNow that I wrote it again, I feel better.\n\n* * *\n\n**Remark**\n\nAt the time of my writing now (26 January 2019), I have not yet started\nreading _JoJolion (Part 8)_ , hence, I do not know what happens there.\n\nThe following edit has been suggested by someone who is reading _JoJolion_ ,\nand I thought it could be meaningful to add it because it seems to disprove my\n\"theory\" on the end of _Stone Ocean_. However, I reserve my right to re-edit\nthis answer once I read _JoJolion_ and I have thought about it, and I warn\npeople who have not read _JoJolion_ that the following suggested edit contains\ninformation that may be perceived as a spoiler.\n\n**End remark**\n\n_**Peer edit**_\n\nMany readers believe that in _JoJolion (Part 8)_ , the theory that the _Steel\nBall Run_ universe takes place in a cycle of Made in Heaven was disproven, as\nthe complete Joestar family tree is shown, and there is no Jotaro nor Irene.\nHowever, we as readers do not know Araki's intentions and it is very possible\nIrene, despite the birthmark, is no longer a Joestar, leaving it up in the\nair.\n\nMany believe this is because the _Steel Ball Run_ universe is a completely\ndifferent universe. The third cycle of Made in Heaven is its own universe.\nLeading to the conclusion that the _SBR_ -verse and Ireneverse have no\ncorrelation whatsoever.\n\n",

Then,\nlife was reborn. However, everything followed the same fate. We end up at the\ntime around when Emporio met Jolyne in her “old life”.

Madara said to Sasuke \"maybe I should take your eyes before i get my rinnegan back\" just after his full revival. And what he did to Kakashi just before being sliced in half by Sasuke was taking his (Obito's right eye) and planted it into his socket. The instinct of putting the donor eye into his eye socket probably means that the eyes dont fuse (Madara already as EMS which is why Obito's stay they same in Madara's eye socket). This also assumes the donor is still alive (Madara did say killing sasuke would be a waste of those eyes implying sasuke would resist)\n\n 4. Shin's body is tattered with sharingans implying no matter where you put em, the sharingan will work. Why this is important is because his \"children\" also have the same pattern implying those who have the exact same dna would awaken the same MS with the same power. When the body is introduced to a pair of eyes from somebody else it would react differently, my guess is; if the reciever had MS, they could potentially awaken EMS when the donor MS is transplanted into them regardless of blood relation. The blood relation mightve been a theory in the manga, an assumption, misused information. \n\n",

This is a slight lore\ndisparity, but the general concept from the movie can be accepted as canonical\n: there exists pockets of space between dimensions made out of lost souls' raw\nspiritual energy. The **Blanks** entities have not been confirmed as\ncanonical, as is **Senna** 's existence.\n\n**Diamond Dust Rebellion is entirely non-canonical.**\n\nThe [Oin](https://bleach.fandom.com/wiki/%C5%8Cin) artifact at the core of the\nmovie is entirely non-canonical (canonically speaking, there isn't even a\n\"Royal Family\" that could have created or possessed the artifact).\n\nLikewise, the idea of **twin Zanpakutōs** is wholly impossible and directly\ngoes against the very nature of\n[Zanpakutos](https://bleach.fandom.com/wiki/Zanpakut%C5%8D). As explained in\nchapters 523 to 529, shinigamis-in-training are given Asauchis, blank\nZanpakutōs designed to develop themselves as such :\n\n> \"All Shinigami must spend every waking moment with their own Asauchi, and as\n> they progress in their training, they slowly and methodically imprint the\n> essence of their soul into their Asauchi. This is how they guide and mold\n> their own unique Zanpakutō.\"\n\nThis directly goes against the idea of twin Zanpakutōs developing naturally.\n\n_I haven't seen Fade to Black, although a quick cursory search indicates there\nare no canonical concepts introduced within the movie ; neither does it bases\nitself upon Rukia's actual story. If someone familiar with the movie could\nsecond this analysis, I would be quite appreciative._\n\n**Hell Verse takes place in a non-canonical version of Hell**\n\nHell Verse's production was relatively troubled, as Kubo himself asked to be\nremoved from the movie's credits. He felt his contribution and ideas were\nactively ignored by the movie's producers and directors. This intense\nrejection from Kubo does mean that Hell Verse is fully non-canonical and even\ngoes directly against Tite Kubo's very own ideas. The tie-in chapter\n\"imaginary number 01. the unforgivens\" should also be non-canonical.\n\nTite Kubo left [a\nmessage](http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p507/Ai_sherry/58df3901213fb80e59a7508b36d12f2eb9389429_zps86cf5d5f.jpg)\nin the Japanese DVD box of Hell Verse, detailing his troubles with the movie's\nproduction. Here's an unofficial translation by [Andygoesrawr from r/Bleach\n:](https://www.reddit.com/r/bleach/comments/271b1u/the_introduction_of_hell/chwge77/)\n\n> In this movie I was credited as \"Executive Director\". However honestly\n> speaking, for the DVD version I want that title to be removed. I already\n> asked them to do so. This is because I feel I didn't participate enough in\n> the production of this movie to warrant such a title.I already had this\n> feelings since the premier of the theatre version, however when I met with\n> the producer staff to persuade them, the movie was already in the editing\n> process so it couldn't be removed.\n>\n> I had a meeting with the scriptwriter - I think it was in the year preceding\n> the movie premiere, in early summer.The meeting was incandescent, and we\n> discussed ideas until nearly dawn. The scriptwriter took careful notes of\n> the ideas that I had contributed jointly during the meeting. The response\n> was that we were able to come up with some very interesting stuff. I had the\n> feeling that before winter at the latest the scenario would be completed -\n> but in the end, the scenario was sent to me only in the spring of the year\n> of the movie premiere. Furthermore, the scenario didn't contain any of the\n> ideas of the meeting... apparently, the notes taken at that time were not\n> transmitted to the director and to the other members of the staff.\n>\n> Later on, we had some trouble with the production department agreeing to\n> some changes decided by the scriptwriter, and the scriptwriter worked hard\n> with the changes that were made - but unfortunately, there was no more time.\n> The fact that characters that first made their entry in the original work\n> like Ichigo, Kokutou and Shuuren had a very Bleach-like feeling is thanks to\n> all of the seiyuu that gave them their voices, and to all of the staff that\n> drew them.\n>\n> Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.\n\n",

When the\ntransplantation is completed, he is able to see clearly and moreover, get an\nincrease in his dojutsu skills. This clearly proves that the precious\ncondition of the eyes doesn't reflect to the new owner. There is no other case\nto prove otherwise.\n\nReference:\n[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Mangekyō_Sharingan](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Mangeky%C5%8D_Sharingan)\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIIRC, the first eye transplantation ever shown in Naruto is when Kakashi got\nhis Sharingan from dying Obito. At that time Rin was there to perform the\ntransplantation and she was a medical ninja. Considering Obito's condition (he\nwas crushed by a rock) I'd say that it doesn't hurt for him to have his eyes\ntaken, because the damage he received would have made him numb to further\npain. Was it hurts for Kakashi? Maybe. One thing for sure is that Rin was\nthere to perform the surgery and being a medical ninja, she would've ensured\nthat the transplantation is done as hygiene as possible. Kakashi was then\nshown to be able to use his newly transplanted eye possibly because **Rin used\nmedical ninjutsu to heal the area around his eyes** , while also reconnecting\nthe nerves to the eyeball using chakra. As mentioned during Sakura's training\nunder Tsunade, **medical ninjutsu works by using chakra to control the regrow\nof cells** , thus healing the wounds.\n\nThe next one shown to have the eye transplantation was Uchiha Sasuke, but that\nwas done in a hideout with Karin (a medical ninja) there. Karin is an\nexperienced medical ninja, having worked under Orochimaru for years, thus\ndoing something like Rin, and in a better environment should be easy for her.\n\nAnd then we have Uzumaki Nagato. He got his Rinnegan from Uchiha Madara. Since\nMadara himself was the one who did the transplantation, and since Nagato is an\nUzumaki, who is known to have a huge life-force, there should be no problem\nwhatsoever with the transplantation.\n\nLastly, we also have the case where Black Zetsu took Rinnegan from Obito. Does\nit hurts? Yes, as seen from the pain Obito was in when Black Zetsu took the\neye. Uchiha Madara then installed the eye, but with no help from other people\nand he just put the eyeball and puff, it's working like normal. The reason it\nis possible is that at that time Madara already have the Senju DNA, which\nenables him to have an accelerated healing, something that Tsunade noted to\nhave been a trait of his late grandfather, Senju Hashirama, which is also the\ninspiration for her to develop medical ninjutsu in the first place.\n\nSo yeah, there is an in-universe explanation on how the eye transplantation\nworks. Note that there is an inconsistency between Kakashi and Sasuke's case.\nKakashi was able to use the eyes immediately but Sasuke wasn't able to despite\nbeing in a better condition.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI found a good episode recently that shows the anime contradicts itself on\nthis matter. In the _Black and White_ episode [_Archeops in the Modern\nWorld_](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/BW036), Professor Juniper and\nDr. Fennel revive an Archen from a fossil. Professor Juniper specifically\nmentions one benefit of a live specimen is that they wouldn't know what\nArchen's cry was just from the fossil. But Archen is mentioned as being a\nPokémon from millions of years ago. This is contradictory because Archen's cry\nis its name but they somehow knew what its name was before reviving it.\nAdditionally, there is no way that humans could have taught it to say its name\nbecause humans weren't around millions of years ago. Because of this\ncontradiction, it cannot be said one way or another whether Archen says the\nname of its species or whether it is named by the word it says. Therefore, I\nconclude that there is no canonical answer to this question in the anime.\n\nIt really doesn't make much sense at all for Pokémon to say their names like\nthey do in the main anime. That's why they don't do this in _Pokémon Origins_\n, _Pokémon Generations_ , or in the games. In all three of these, each\nPokémon's cries/growls are more similar to real animal noises. In the main\ngames, the cries in the Pokédex are animal shrieks and noises (well, sort\nof... as noted in the comments, they do sound electronic and staticky).\nSometimes if you talk to Pokémon on the overworld in a game they'll say part\nof their name, but an audio clip of that Pokémon's cry will also play, so I\ninterpret the Pokémon's dialogue to be an onomatopoeia.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nSEVERAL SPOILERS ALERT\n\nI don't know how to answer this question, honestly, but I think at least I can\nput forward some ideas. From here, please feel free to elaborate, refute,\nagree or disagree. My idea is that there is a wide demand for psychological\nand psychiatric services in the psycho pass universe. It is observed that in\nthe second season\n\n> they confirmed how much the pharmaceutical industry profits in this\n> universe, with the investment in remedies for the \"control of the psycho\n> pass\".\n\nHowever, when we speak of psychological services, we are not referring to the\nprescription of remedies, but the use of therapies to deal with problems of\npsychological order / origin (at least this is where I live, but how a\npsychologist acts tends to vary widely in several countries). This leads me to\nreflect a few things: in the psycho pass universe, most people, with a few\nexceptions\n\n> (akane, Makishima, and the enforces possibly),\n\nwould tend to live with the fear that their psycho pass may be overcast, so\ninvestment in therapy and remedies would tend to be more accepted and even\nencouraged. From this, it could be concluded that the profession in Japan of\npsycho pass would be much more valued and, consequently, much better paid than\nit is today. Now, I do not know how to estimate values, since I have no idea\nof current values, but it can be assumed that I would be in a top 10\noccupations well payed. HOWEVER, there are some other facts that make me think\nthat, although well paid, the profession might not have so many interested\nparties. My argument is based on the character of\n\n> Saiga Jouji. Formed in psychology, he is supposedly responsible for making\n> people's psycho pass up just by talking\n\nand this probably has a very simple explanation:\n\n> people are not prepared to do what he says.\n\nFear of stress\n\n> (which is actually the fear of clouding the psycho pass)\n\ncauses people to avoid exposing themselves to stressful situations\n\n> (some, as shown in the anime, until they become lethargic / vegetative)\n\nand because of that they would be ill prepared to cope with stressful\nsituations. Now think: how will you be a therapist or psychologist if you do\nnot know how to handle it? Your job is to listen to your patient about your\nfears and problems, and lead him to clarify these issues, the best possible\nway. Well, to summarize everything I think, my answer would be: yes, it would\nbe a very well paid profession (because it is necessary), but I do not think\nthere would be a lot of people wanting to be a psychologist. More than that,\neven if the system selects people who have the profile to be psychologists,\nthere would be few people who could actually be. By the way, the second season\nopens an interesting question. In this world, would people tend to bet more on\nremedies than on psychological treatment? Therapy presupposes that you would\nhave to face certain things it's hard for you to handle yourself, but doing\nso, at least temporarily,\n\n> the meter of your psycho pass could rise.\n\nAnyway, that's what I think. For any mistakes, please indicate that I will try\nto fix it!\n\n",

"body": "\n\nFor this answer I am going to assume only works which began as an anime and\nwere later adapted into manga are under consideration. This is hard to study\nnowadays because there are so few anime-original works, but in most of the\ncases I know of, the manga is just tie-in merchandise for the anime, the same\nway anime adaptations of manga are tie-in merchandise for the manga, or anime\nand manga adaptations of light novels and visual novels are tie-in merchandise\nfor the light/visual novel.\n\nUsually, the author of the manga is a contract worker of some sort: the studio\nhires them to write and draw a manga version of the anime, sometimes while the\nproduction of the anime is underway, and sometimes after it's finished. The\noriginal team behind the anime doesn't usually work on the manga; their names\nmight be on the cover as a \"Story\" credit, meaning they're just being\nacknowledged as the creator of the story. It's the reverse version of seeing\n\"Based on the manga by XX\" in the opening credits of an anime. So having a\nmanga adaptation doesn't actually take any effort away from the anime; the two\nproductions go ahead independently, sometimes extremely so. For example, the\nfirst manga adaptation of [The Vision of\nEscaflowne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vision_of_Escaflowne#Manga) was\nbased on an early version of the story from when Yasuhiro Imagawa was attached\nas director. Imagawa left to direct G Gundam and the production was put on\nhold, but the manga went ahead with his shounen version of the story, only to\nbecome inaccurate later when Kazuki Akane came in and reworked the show as a\nshoujo series.\n\nSome anime also have spinoff manga, which aren't directly based on the\noriginal anime. Evangelion, for example, has [Angelic\nDays](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion:_Angelic_Days),\n[Shinji Ikari Raising\nProject](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion:_Shinji_Ikari_Raising_Project#Manga),\nand [Campus\nApocalypse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion:_Campus_Apocalypse).\nMadoka has Kazumi Magica, Oriko Magica, Wraith Arc, The Different Story,\nHomura Tamura, Homura's Revenge, Tart Magica, Suzune Magica, and probably soon\nthe epic crossover Puella Magi Mahoro Magica: The Resurrection. Like the\ndirect adaptation manga, these are passed off to hired help, but they often\nhave valid creative reasons for existing. Angelic Days and Shinji Ikari\nRaising Project explored the banal world that Shinji creates in his mind in\nEpisode 26 of the anime. Wraith Arc and The Different Story fill in parts of\nthe anime storyline that weren't shown onscreen; Suzune Magica and Tart Magica\nfocus on different characters in the same world; Homura Tamura is a parody.\nSince manga are cheaper to produce than anime, the spinoff manga are a low-\ncost way to explore the world of an anime, or create alternative scenarios, or\nto give hardcore fans something they want that doesn't have wide enough appeal\nto fund another anime. Some of these spinoff manga, I don't care about, but\nreading The Different Story totally changed my view of certain characters and\nevents in the anime series, so I'm glad that the anime staff didn't decide to\n\"just focus on one\" and allowed the spinoff manga to be made.\n\n",

Volume 14 of Sword Art Online (SAO) was [sold at\n590 JPY per copy](http://dengekibunko.jp/newreleases/978-4-04-866505-6/) and\n[350,693 copies was sold in 2014 fiscal\nyear](http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1316739) (November 18, 2013 -\nNovember 16, 2014). The total income for the publisher would be 206,908,870.\nSources [here](https://www.alanjacobson.com/writers-toolkit/the-business-of-\npublishing/) and [here](https://www.alanjacobson.com/writers-toolkit/the-\nbusiness-of-publishing/) stated that the average royalty rate for a writer is\nbetween 8% to 50%. I didn't manage to find a reference for the Japanese\npublishing companies. So, let's assume that the royalty is at 10%, Kawahara\nReki (SAO's author) would earn 20,690,887 JPY from volume 14 alone. SAO got [3\nvolumes released per\nyear](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sword_Art_Online_light_novels).\nAssuming that every volume sold at the same price and number, per year\nKawahara-sensei would receive 62,072,661 JPY from the LN alone.\n\nSword Art Online also has anime adaptation. It was being sold on DVD and\nBluRay (BR) for [5,800 JPY and 6,800 JPY respectively for the first volume\n(episode 1 and 2 of first season)](http://www.swordart-\nonline.net/package/vol1.html). Next volumes sold for 6,800 JPY and 7800 JPY\nrespectively. [17,677 copies of the first volume of the second\nseason](http://www.someanithing.com/2397) got sold in a week between 2014\nNovember 10 and 2014 November 16. Volume 1 of the second season of SAO was\n[sold at 6,800 JPY for DVD and 7,800 JPY for BR](http://www.swordart-\nonline.net/package/index.html). It was release on 2014 October 22, that is 3\nweeks before. Assuming it gets sold at the same amount for every week, then we\nget 53,031 copies sold for the first 3 weeks. Total income from BR sells would\nbe 413,641,800 JPY.\n\nCost per episode is approximated at [15,000,000 JPY per\nepisode](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2012-03-07) (DVD and BR\nprinting cost included). The aforementioned SAO season 2 volume 1 BR has 3\nepisodes in it, thus it cost about 45,000,000 JPY. The [creator got 1.7% of\nthe net revenue](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2012-03-07) (income -\nproduction cost), that is 6,266,910.6 JPY (1.7% x 368,641,800). Like I\nmentioned earlier above, the creator don't have to lift a finger to get that\nextra income. The anime production house would take care of it. They have a\nscenario writer and director to make the anime based on the LN.\n\nNow, a LN release only 3 volumes a year, but BR releases 1 volume per month,\nthat is 12 volumes a year. SAO II may only have 9 volumes, but that is still 9\nx 6,266,910.6 JPY (56,402,195.4 JPY).\n\n## Extra\n\n 1. The [KonoSuba LN selling went up after the TV anime aired by approximately 3 times](http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2016/03/02/konosuba-novel-sales-increases-three-times-thanks-to-tv-anime).\n 2. I assume Kawahara-sensei's contract earns him royalty at 10% rate. Since he is a best seller, it is possible that his contract earns him more than that rate.\n\n",

The chart gives two alternatives, one using 5 inbetween frames\nbetween key frames on the left, and the other using 4 inbetween frames between\nthem.\n\nUsing the alternative on the left, the chart is telling the inbetweener to\nfirst draw frame number 5. This frame would be drawn halfway between two key\nframes, the one numbered 1 and 7 on the chart. The inbetweener would then draw\nframes 4 and 6, the former halfway between frames 1 and 5 and the later\nhalfway between 5 and 7. Then frame 3 would be drawn, halfway between 1 and 4,\nand then frame 2. halfway between 1 and 3. A similar process would be followed\nto draw frames 9, 8, 10, 11, and 13 in that order.\n\nSince the frames are displayed at a constant rate (probably \"on twos\" at 12\nframes per second) the illusion of movement created by the animation would\nstart off slow, speed up and then slow down again. The total running time for\nthe animated sequence would be (if done on twos) 1 second.\n\n",

The Emperor lays out plans for the Buddha Dainichi (Great Sun\n> Buddha), at Tōdai-ji assisted by the Priest Gyogi (or Gyoki) Bosatsu. The\n> priest Gyogi went to Ise Daijingu Shrine for blessings to build the Buddha\n> Dainichi. They identified the statue of Viarocana with Amatarasu (the sun\n> goddess) as the manifestation of the supreme expression of universality.\n\nSoruce: [Shinto - History - Nara\nPeriod](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinto#Nara_Period)\n\n> Shōmu, a devout Buddhist, is best remembered for commissioning, in 743, the\n> sixteen-meter high statue of the Vairocana Buddha (the Daibutsu) in Tōdai-ji\n> of Nara.\n\nSource: [Emperor Shōmu -\nLegacy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Sh%C5%8Dmu#Legacy)\n\nobviously one can find Buddist references in some anime such as\n[Dragonball](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/32157/1587) and [Brave\n10](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/7103/1587), particualy from the answer\nin that link\n\n> Buddhist texts in Japanese are strange things.

Eventually, those texts made\n> their way from China into Japan.\n\nthe exact reason as to why they would use that? if i was to make an assumption\nit would be because it's an old yet mystical language from a age long gone and\nnormally (from what i have seen) old languages are generally used for magic\nsuch as with the Merlin series the Spells used in it were literal commands\n(like Open, Copy, Burn) translated to Old English or Lancer in Fate/Stay Night\nusing Northern European Runes\n\n> Lancer obtained 18 Original Runes, Norse Runes, after studying magecraft\n> under Scáthach in the Land of Shadows\n\nSource: [Lancer (Fate/Stay Night) - Abilities -\nRunes](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Lancer_\\(Fate/stay_night\\)#Runes)\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/96oci.gif)\n\n^ you can see 3 of the 4 Runes Lancer uses in Ath nGabla. the 4 runes being\nAlgiz, Nauthiz, Ansuz, and Ingwaz\n\n",
