{
"body": "\n\nHave you ever heard the phrase \"The eyes are the windows to the soul\"?\n\nOne of the first big names in manga and anime, Osamu Tezuka, developed an art\nstyle in many of his works where the eyes of characters were abnormally large,\nbecause it was easier to make them expressive to show emotions - as discussed\nin [this](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/4748/why-do-anime-manga-\ncharacters-have-big-eyes) answer and [this](https://www.quora.com/Why-do-many-\nJapanese-animation-characters-have-big-eyes) Quora article.\n\nSo, what happens when you reverse that? If you make a character's eyes small,\nthen it becomes harder to discern their emotions, and harder to make an\nemotional connection with them (and before someone brings up, say, Brock from\nPokemon, note that while his eyes are permanently squinty they're also pretty\nbig). By taking a character's eyes away completely, you are completely\nsevering that emotional connection, and to some extent, you are giving the\nimpression that they are emotionless - which is often what is being expressed,\nsince the eyeless face is used on characters that are either acting in a\nsociopathic manner (lots of school bully-type characters are depicted this\nway), or who are otherwise emotionally distant or disconnected, like Arima\nSaki in Your Lie.\n\n",

I've abandoned anime at\naround half of first season, so I will reference manga as explanation.\n\nIn a nutshell, main reason why Yomo stopped Touka was because he didn't wanted\nher to be killed indeed. He referenced this as \"his last job in Anteiku\". From\nall the talking of Yomo in manga Ch. 130, I assume, that main reason for Touka\nto say alive is that she can keep helping ghouls, who has lost their way in\nlife, just like Anteiku crew were doing before.\n\nRegarding Hide, it was heavily implied in chapters 136-137 of original manga,\nthat Kaneki ate him. But Hide offered this by himself, since he knew that\nArima is awaiting for Kaneki (and Kaneki was unable to resist his hunger,\nsince he was in half-kakuja form). Maybe, in anime adaptation, events are\nslightly different, but outcome is same - Hide sacrificed his life to feed\nKaneki, so Kaneki can heal his wounds and restore his power.\n\n",

So I'm assuming that Yomo wanted\nKaneki to have as much time as possible left with his friend, seeing as Hide\nis dead or dyeing.(Sorry to those who were in denial) It is also apparent\nthroughout both manga and anime that Yomo feels fatherly towards Kaneki, so he\nmay have understood that in times like these, leave him alone. I do agree with\nlentinant however, he definitely wants to protect Touka, though his last job\nwas actually the manager's last orders: If I fall, burn Antieku so that none\nmay trace it back to you. Basically the manager had Yomo get rid of the\nevidence that there were ghouls at Antieku. Hope this helps.\n\n",

The first is production-based -- the folks\ndoing the anime chose not to complicate the plot with any more characters. To\ncounter that, though, the Samezuka Acadamy, with already at least a dozen on\ntheir team, added two more significant ones during the 2nd season. The other\npossibility is that there is an underlying reason within the story that the\nIwatobi High School Swim Club is supposed to die. It will do so after this\nschool year, due to the graduation of Haru and Makoto. With only three members\n(two swimmers), the team would be auto-disbanded. Why can they not get any new\nteammates?\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIf by western animation, you mean movies made by studios like Pixar, the major\nfactors in play is the budget and technical expertise. Budget-wise, Pixar has\na [$200 million budget for \"Finding Dory\"](http://www.the-\nnumbers.com/movies/production-company/Pixar):\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/cE9OB.png)\n\nBudget numbers are usually pretty hard to come by for anime but there's been\nsome research on the matter by the Media Development Research Institute. At\n[this link](http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2011/10/30-1/how-much-does-\none-episode-of-anime-cost-to-make), it breaks down the budget for a 30 minute\ntimeslot anime episode, which really boils down to about 21-22 minutes minus\nthe commercials and OP/ED.\n\n> * Original work - 50,000 yen ($660)\n> * Script - 200,000 yen ($2,640)\n> * Episode Direction - 500,000 yen ($6,600)\n> * Production - 2 million yen ($26,402)\n> * Key Animation Supervision - 250,000 yen ($3,300)\n> * Key Animation - 1.5 million yen ($19,801)\n> * In-betweening - 1.1 million yen ($14,521)\n> * Finishing - 1.2 million yen ($15,841)\n> * Art (backgrounds) - 1.2 million yen ($15,841)\n> * Photography - 700,000 yen ($9,240)\n> * Sound - 1.2 million yen ($15,841)\n> * Materials - 400,000 yen ($5,280)\n> * Editing - 200,000 yen ($2,640)\n> * Printing - 500,000 yen ($6,600)\n>\n\nEven if we lop all of the production plus animation and photography, that's\nstill maybe around $100k of budget for 22 minutes. Compare that to Pixar's\naverage budget for \"Finding Dory\" of maybe $500k **per minute**.\n\nThe other thing is the expertise of these studios. Pixar has been, for quite\nsome time now, the top studio for 3d CGI. Their movies are almost entirely CGI\nand they've got over [600 employees](http://www.pixar.com/about/Our-Story).\nMost Japanese studios don't have anywhere close to this level of technical\nexpertise and skill, or the size of an organization that can pump out this\nkind of work consistently and regularly. Probably an apt comparison would be\nJapanese animation studios vs animation studios in China.\n\nSome other factors to consider:\n\n * Since there's a lot of mix between traditional 2d vs 3d modelled CGI, the CG can stand out a lot more. Even if it is done in a very high quality, it's still noticeable. Compare it to shows/movies that are entirely 3d modelled, where even if the modelling/textures isn't all that great, the consistency makes it appear to look better eventhough the CGI isn't that good.\n * Time constraints, though not so much for movies and OVA, a weekly release schedule for anime episodes doesn't leave a lot of time for a modest CGI team (or an outsourced firm) to create the work, send it in for review, any integration work, anything that gets sent back to get redone, repeat, etc.\n * To some degree, there's a notion of \"good enough\", especially when we're comparing 24 minute long anime episodes to a Pixar movie. If the episode isn't over budget, it's finished on time, it looks decent, then it's probably \"good enough\" and the average viewer, though the CGI is noticeable and acknowledging its quality, won't find it that unexpected. Keep in mind that CGI in anime has improved quite a bit since it was first more widely used.\n\nAs for why they use CGI at all? The biggest reason (though I can't seem to\nfind any sources to cite) is probably that it _costs less_ , though that\nsounds like irony. The idea is that doing \"ok looking\" CGI and making the\nsubject matter (or action) look a bit more realistic is cheaper than spending\na lot of artists trying to make the same subject matter look better (or in\nmost cases, just as good) completely by hand. If you're going to have a mecha\nshow where there are hundreds of mechs that all look exactly the same, it's\nprobably cheaper to just model it as opposed to having someone draw them all.\nIf there's going to be a lot of panning, rotating camera shots, it's easier to\nmodel the subject and just move the camera as opposed to hand drawing the\nsubject to imitate such movement.\n\n",

Also the anime was been very inconsistant, which has\nled to the theory that the anime is completely different from the game.\n\nAs for the fundamental laws of Pokemon, a certain Pikachu once KO'd a Rhyhorn\n(Ground type) with Thunderbolt. That same Pikachu's Thunderbolt failed to\ndestroy a certain Swanna because it was hiding behind an Aqua Ring. Aura\nSphere has set a record for having missed.\n\nThe most logical expectation might be that Mewtwo is almost a completely\nhumanoid Pokemon, so it doesn't need a trainer to actually set itself into a\nmega form. Also since it is artificial, maybe a few tweaks or something\nhappened, that made it capable of Mega Evolving itself.\n\nHope I helped!\n\n",

Team names \n\n * The \"Yokohama Marine Stars\" in the manga became \"Yokohama Blue Oceans\" in the anime. \n\n * The \"Tokyo Shians\" in the manga became \"Tokyo Warriors\" in the anime. \n\n 2. Many violent scenes (mostly physical fighting) in the manga were either greatly toned down, or completely removed in the anime. \n\n 3. The match between the Kaido Junior Varsity and Varsity teams\n\n * In the manga, Toshiya Sato's home run in the 7th inning was worth 2 runs, placing the JV team in the lead. The 8th and 9th innings quickly ended without incident or anyone scoring. \n\n * In the anime, Sato's home run was only a solo home run. Gorō gave up run in the 8th inning, but hit a 2-run home run off the Varsity team's ace pitcher and took back the lead. The 9th inning ended without either team scoring. \n\n * In the manga, Mayumura was never on the field. In the anime, he helped to make a hit in the 8th inning, to see if Shigeno has the ability to follow up with a game-winning home run, instead of having to rely on Sato in the 9th inning. \n\n 4. The birth of Chiharu and the retirement of Hideki Shigeno. In the anime, the birth of Chiharu and the retirement of Hideki Shigeno both happened a few years later than the manga timeline.\n\n 5. Ryoko Kawase\n\n * Kawase's plot elements in Season 2 and 3 of the anime were not present in the original manga. In the manga, there was no mention of her after the little league match. Kaoru Shimizu decided to go to Seishu after Komori's encouragement; Taiga pitched the 300 practice sliders to Gorō with his injured hand. \n\n 6. Ayane\n\n * When Gorō first moved back to Mifune, and was asking directions to Mifune East, the person who gave the wrong directions in the manga was Yamane (intentionally). In the anime it was Ayane (unintentionally). \n\n * Ayane's plot elements in Season 3 of the anime were not present in the original manga. In the manga, there was no mention of her after Gorō and Toshiya began school in Kaido.\n\n",

It is likely several others (especially those who\nhalted admirals) have Haki too.\n\nWe know that Ben Beckman is the smartest person to come from the East Blue\nwhich puts him above both Nami and Captain Kuro (man of 1000 plans). Yassop is\na powerful sniper like Ussop (who is more skilled that a platoon of WG\nsoldiers despite appearances). Rockstar had a bounty of 94,000,000 Beri.\n\nWe literally only know the names of 5 of Shank's crew (the above and Lucky\nRoo) though we have seen several more.

"body": "\n\nShe didn't die immediately for the same reason why Kurama, Nine Tails, was put\nin her in the first place. She inherited her clan's, the Uzumaki, extremely\nbig amount of chakra.\n\n> Kushina was eventually told why she had to leave her home of Uzushio and go\n> to Konoha; because of her **special chakra** , she was to be the next\n> jinchūriki of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.\n\nIn the statement above is indicating her special chakra.\n\n> **As an Uzumaki, Kushina was blessed with a strong life-force, granting her\n> tremendous chakra reserves and vitality.** This also gave her **tremendous\n> stamina, healing powers, and longevity.** Ultimately, **this trait let her\n> survive the Nine-Tails' extraction minutes after giving birth, and still\n> provided great aid to Minato on the battlefield shortly after despite her\n> heavy exhaustion.** Likewise, while still weakened, **she did not die\n> immediately from being impaled by the Nine-Tails' claw**. Even by her clan's\n> standards, **Kushina possessed a powerful and special form of chakra that\n> made her well-suited for becoming a jinchūriki, effectively sealing the\n> entirety of the Nine-Tails inside her and further enhancing her reserves.**\n\nThe one above talks Kushina's chakra, why she survived the extraction of\nKurama, why she was still alive even after Kurama's claw stabbed her, and why\nshe was a perfect candidate to become a Jinchūriki.\n\n> The vitality inherent to the Uzumaki clan **allowed her to survive the\n> extraction, though greatly weakened by experience** , the masked ninja tried\n> to have the Nine-Tails finish Kushina off.\n\nThe one above and the second one mention her getting weaker once Kurama was\nextracted from her.\n\n> **Uzumaki naturally possess incredibly strong life forces, granting them\n> very long lifespans** ; Mito Uzumaki was born before the founding of Konoha\n> yet lived well into the reign of the Third Hokage. **This also enables them\n> to recover from injuries and exhaustion in short periods of time, enough to\n> survive the removal of tailed beasts, although they are still left near\n> death afterwards.** Uzumaki also have the ability to heal and rejuvenate\n> allies by having their allies bite them and suck their chakra. It is\n> dangerous however to use this ability too regularly. At least one member has\n> displayed a unique sensory ability.\n\nThe one above is technically saying that the Uzumaki have special traits that\nlet them live more than others, just like Mito, and the ability to heal\nothers, just like Karin. They can also recover from injuries and they can even\nsurvive a Tailed Beast extraction but they will be left near death,\n\n> just like Naruto when Kurama was extracted from him.\n\nKushina didn't die immediately because of her inheritance of her clan (this is\nthe reason why she was still alive). But she did die from Kurama's claw\nbecause she was already weakened from his extraction, and the claw opened a\nbigger wound that was not healed immediately.\n\nSources:\n\n * [Kushina Uzumaki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kushina_Uzumaki)\n * [Uzumaki Clan](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Uzumaki_Clan)\n\n",

So, it is no doubt, that _Arima was real One-Eyed King_.\n\nOnce title becomes \"vacant\", Kaneki decides to claim it in the end of Ch 86\n(we can suppose, he has full rights for it, since he defeated Arima).

"body": "\n\nThere is no official information about how new Ditto are born. Looking at this\nfrom the perspective of the video games, Ditto is not the only Pokémon that\ncannot be hatched from an egg. Most legendary Pokémon, including Mewtwo, Mew,\nand Shaymin, are unable to breed and cannot be hatched from eggs. There is a\nnoticeable exception: Manaphy, which can breed with a Ditto. The resulting\noffspring is a Phione, however, which does not evolve into Manaphy. Ditto can\nalso breed with genderless Pokémon such as Metagross.\n\nNow, if we look at the anime, there are some discrepancies in this\ninformation. Unfortunately, there still isn't any information on how Ditto\nreproduces, but if we look at examples of Latios, Latias, and Lugia in the\nanime, it appears that these legendary Pokémon can reproduce somehow. In the\n[fifth movie](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/M05), for instance, it is\nmentioned that the Soul Dew is the soul of an ancestor of Latios and Latias. A\n[baby Lugia named\nSilver](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Silver_\\(Johto\\)) also appeared\nin the anime alongside its parent.\n\nConcerning Ditto, nothing can be concluded from this discrepancy without\nconjecture. If I were to draw a conjecture, it would be that the game\nmechanics are not directly related to the lore, and two Dittos may be able to\nbreed. Although Senshin's theory that Ditto breed by binary fission also makes\nsome sense.\n\nIn case you are interested in theories, you can read about the one that [Ditto\nis a failed Mew clone](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/2555/is-\nditto-a-failed-mew-clone?rq=1). In this case, it could be that Dittos are made\nin a lab and don't need to reproduce.\n\n",

One of the major reasons that fansubs exist is due to the lack of\ngeneral availability of the work, which means that in order for a region to\nenjoy the work, it must first be brought to that country, which may or may not\nhave legal ramifications.\n\nNote that I am not a lawyer, but I've read some things on fansubs and piracy\nbefore; in general, the industry isn't all that happy with it.\n\nDistributors of fansubbed work may face repercussions due to the fact that the\nwork may not be licensed in that country or that region, and the translators\nare effectively pirating the work.\n\nI can't speak to China's anime climate, but I will state that official\ntranslations must be licensed for distribution in that country. I encourage\nyou to find licensed work in your country and support that, as that will\nensure that more licensed works come over due to it being a more viable\nmarket.\n\n",

L made tremendous precautions and implied to Light that he knew how\nthe Note works. He had also made it clear that if he died in the near future,\nLight is to be the primary suspect for Kira.\n\nAdditionaly, the write has given us multiple Rules of Deathnote. Among them\nthe following relate to this scenario. The 23 day rule plays into the fact\nthat 23 days is in the near future and L dying in that period would make the\npolice suspicious of Light.\n\n> 1. If you write die of disease with a specific disease's name and the\n> person's time of death, there must be a sufficient amount of time for the\n> disease to progress. If the set time is too tight, the victim will die of a\n> heart attack after 6 minutes and 40 seconds after completing the Death Note.\n> 2. If you write, die of disease for the cause of death, but only write a\n> specific time of death without the actual name of disease, the human will\n> die from an adequate disease. But the **Death Note can only operate within\n> 23 days (in the human calendar)**. This is called the 23 day rule.\n> 3. If you write die of disease like before with a specific disease's name,\n> but without a specific time, if it takes more than 24 days for the human to\n> die the 23 day rule will not take effect and the human will die at an\n> adequate time depending on the disease. \n> [How to Use:\n> XXVII/XXVIII](http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_of_the_Death_Note)\n>\n\nIt may also be physically impossible for Deathnote to give a genetic disease.\nSo L may still die from a Heart Attack. Though we have no idea about L's\nfamily since he was indeed an orphan.[Huntington's\nDisease](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntington%27s_disease#Genetics)\n\n**Out-Universe Explanation** You need to remember this is an Anime, and using\nsuch obscure tactics wouldn't make it easily understandable. The point is to\nunderstand this is indeed a fantasy thriller anime, that is meant to be an\nengaging match of wits and not knowledge. Light is just a high school student\nand not a medical doctor who is trying to find out obscure ways to kill the\nindividual. Point I am trying to make is that the \"Rules of Death Note\" may be\na writing device to cover such plot holes, but they may or may not be enough\nto cover all.\n\n",

So **in nature** they are\nnot opposites and in fact are quite _similar_.\n\nNow, there is a problem with what you stated in your question. **Mirajane\ndoesn't use song magic**. Her magic is a Take Over (transformation) magic.\nWhen Mira sings, she sings normally, not with magic, so you can't Unison Raid\nthat.\n\nIs it possible to Unison Raid 2 song magics? Yes, it is. But both mages needs\nto **match the frequency of their song so that the resulting sound wave\ndoesn't cancel each other out**. So if the first mage use a song magic that\nresults in the following sound wave (a sine wave),\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/d8w1V.gif)\n\nThen the second mage's song magic must create a sound wave that have the same\nfrequency (same position of hills and valleys). They may have a different\namplitude (height and depth of the hills and valleys), it doesn't matter.\n\nHowever, if the second mage failed to make a sound wave of the same frequency,\nlet's say that he created a cosine sound wave, then the resulting Unison Raid\nwouldn't be as strong, if it can be called a Unison Raid that is. It is even\nworse if he created a -sine wave.

{
"body": "\n\nTo answer this question, we need to take in account the several factors that\nwill decide how and how much they are paid:\n\n * The number of pages drawn for each issues (20 pages or more).\n * The regularity of his work (weekly, monthly...).\n * The experience of the mangaka (newcomer, experienced...).\n * The popularity of the mangaka's work (that 2002 manga you have never heard of, One Piece...).\n * The publishing company (Akita Shoten, Shueisha...).\n * The merchandising around his work and the anime adaptations.\n\n* * *\n\n**Number of pages drawn and regularity of the work**\n\nA mangaka is paid depending on the number of pages he is drawing. The most\ntypical case for mangakas are the newcomers who are publishing a standard\nchapter of 16-20 pages every week, so we are gonna base our numbers on this\ncommon case. Usually, a publisher will pay between 10,000¥ and 12,000¥ per\npage created to a starting artist. Considering he would draw 80 pages per\nmonth, it would lead to a monthly outcome going from 800,000¥ to 960,000¥.\n\n**Be careful** : this is what a starting mangaka usually win per month. But\nthis is not what he is really getting in the end. A mangaka usually needs to\npay his own material, his assistants, his studio if he has one, and other\ndifferent kind of expenses.\n\nIt is also important to mention that colored pages are paid more than normal\npages (~ 1.5x more).\n\nNow, I have talked about the typical weekly case. In this particular case, a\nmangaka usually draw between 16 and 20 pages per chapter (for instance One\nPiece). But another really common case are the monthly releases (for instance\nAo no Exorcist). The number of pages will vary a lot, but you can consider\nthere is usually between 35 and 50 pages drawn per month in such cases. And\nthe price per pages is not necessarily higher, as it is most of the time the\nsame.\n\n* * *\n\n**The experience of the mangaka**\n\nThe previous numbers are mostly applying to starting mangakas. But those who\nhave already worked for a long time in the manga industry can obtain an\nincreased outcome per page drawn. One mangaka, Sato Shuuhou, published in 2009\nthe average payment he was getting by page drawn through the years. While he\nwas getting 10,000¥ per page in 1998 for the Umizaru manga, he was getting\n25,000¥ per page in 2006 for the Tokko no Shima manga, and 35,000¥ in 2009 for\nthe Say Hello to Black Jack manga. Of course, those numbers are not\nrepresentative of every mangaka and should not be taken as a constant.\n\n* * *\n\n**The popularity of the mangaka's work**\n\nAnother important factor is the popularity of the chapters and of the final\nmangas. A famous exemple is the Weekly Shonen Jump popularity vote. Each\nreader has the possibility every week to fill a paper on which he is ranking\nhis 3 favorite chapters of the week, and send it back to Shueisha (the Weekly\nShonen Jump publisher). The total number of votes are then calculated, and the\npublisher get an intern result for the popularity of the published mangas. If\na published manga is staying way too long in the lower ranks, it might stopped\nto be published (at least on this magazine). The other way, if a manga is\noften staying in the best ranks, it means that it is interesting a lot of\nreaders, readers that might buy another issue of the magazine because of this\nparticular manga. Because of this, the publisher may increase the outcome won\nper page by the mangaka. It is also depending on some other factors, like if\nthere is an anime adaptation or some good manga sales, but it will be\nexplained on the next point.\n\n* * *\n\n**The publishing company**\n\nDepending if the publisher is a totally unknown one or the really famous\nShueisha, it might happen that the number of outcome given per page is lower\nor higher. This is of course depending on the politic and the financial\nresources of the publishing company.\n\n* * *\n\n**The merchandising around his work and the anime adaptations**\n\nObviously, there might be some merchandising around the work of a mangaka, and\nof course some anime adaptations for one or several mangas. For this\nparticular part, I will let you check [this\nquestion](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/26724/how-much-do-mangaka-\nprofit-from-anime-or-merchandise-sales) which is describing it pretty well.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nEdit, Tl;DR Zamasu from Future Trunks Timeline is likely Zamasu from the\nregular timeline, who learned about Goku from Shin, and then traveled into\nFuture Trunks timeline because Shin (and therefor Berus) was dead. This then\ncaused Future trunks to travel back in time in the first place.\n\nI do not know how to add pictures, or I would, but the full chain (if the\nmanga will indeed show the same main events as the anime) was likely completed\nin the most recent chapter of the Manga.\n\nThere is the anime's version to consider though, so I will note both, starting\nwith the anime.\n\nIn the Anime, It is basically due to a time loop. Future trunks goes to the\npast, bringing Black with him, who then fights Goku. Goku then learns about\nand visits/spars with Zamasu. It is here Zamasu learns about Goku in the\nanime.\n\nZamasu then went and learned about Goku from the guy who knows everything, as\nwell as the super dragonballs. He then uses them to wish for either\nimmortality, or an ally like Goku. He then likely used the ring of time to\nskip ahead and gather them again, quickly wishing for the other wish. He then\nfinds the timeline where Berus is no more, and goes there so that there is no\none to stop him from killing Humanity.\n\nThe Manga version of the story is not as detailed, But if we are to assume\nthat the main plot points of the manga will be identical to the anime, then we\nhave a better version of the loop thanks to the most recent chapter.\n\nIn chapter 16, page 36, Zamasu is talking with Our own Kaioshin, Shin, and\nKibito, after sparing with Kibito, about how they took out Majin Buu. Shin\nbrings up the fact that he only helped Goku and the other Z Warriors do so.\nZamasu at this time learns of goku and how powerful he is. This is all we know\nin the Manga so far, but we can probably assume the details will play out like\nin the anime, so he will likely soon go and try to learn about goku from the\nguy who knows everything soon.\n\nThere are 2 things that make the Manga version a more \"stable\" version, first\nin that Zamasu learned about Goku from Shin, and second, that Shin was\nProbably visiting Zamasu without any interference from Future Trunks, since he\nappeared at about the same time they were visiting Zamasu. If he had not shown\nup, Zamasu would have found out about the super dragonballs and made his\nwishes without anyone knowing about him.\n\n",

Quoting [Wikia](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Chakra),\n\n> In order to have good chakra control, a ninja should only mould as much\n> chakra as they need to perform a given ability. If they mould more chakra\n> than is needed, the excess chakra is wasted and they will tire out faster\n> from its loss. If they don't mould enough chakra, a technique will not be\n> performed effectively, if at all, likely creating problems in a combat\n> situation.\n\n 2. Shape Manipulation\n\n> Shape transformation deals with controlling the form, movement, and potency\n> of chakra.\n\n 3. Nature Manipulation\n\n> Nature transformation deals with changing the physical properties of chakra\n> into an element. There is also the nature transformation of Yin and Yang,\n> which deals with changing the ratio of spiritual and physical energies\n> within chakra.\n\n**Rock Lee**\n\nWhat Rock Lee was incapable of is the last two, Shape Manipulation and Nature\nManipulation. Most Ninjutsu requires at least one of these two. For example,\nKaton: Goukakyu no Jutsu (Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu) requires both shape\nmanipulation (to make it into ball) and nature manipulation to give fire\nelement to the jutsu. Rasengan requires shape manipulation to make it into\nball shape, although in a whole different level than Goukakyu no Jutsu.\nChidori requires nature manipulation to add lightning element to the jutsu.\n\nIt has been consistently shown that Rock Lee was unable to perform the last\ntwo in that he was never shown to use any jutsu that requires them. He,\nhowever, was shown to be able to perform Power Manipulation. This is evident\nin his use of the 8 Gates which requires him to flow chakra to various spots\nin his body.\n\nStanding on water requires Power Manipulation, that is, creating enough chakra\nto cover his feet palms to keep him afloat. It doesn't require shape nor\nnature manipulation, thus explains how Rock Lee can stand on water.\n\n",

Suzuki\ncould well be a steamsmith from Europe who ended up in Japan, perhaps fleeing\nthe kabane (Japan, being an island on the periphery of Afro-Eurasia, is about\nas far as you can get from eastern Europe without hopping over to the\nAmericas). In this case, it would be unsurprising that his speech is 1.)\nheavily accented; and 2.) has a heavy admixture of English.\n\n(Don't be fooled by his Japanese-seeming name - in the real world around the\ntime of the Industrial Revolution, it was common for Westerners in Japan to\ntake Japanese names. See, for example, [Lafcadio\nHearn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lafcadio_Hearn), who was known in Japan\nas \"Koizumi Yakumo\".)\n\nIt is likely that [the manga and/or light\nnovels](http://kabaneri.com/mediamix/) will have more detail about this, but I\nhave not read any of them.

It's pretty clear to me that he voices all of\nSuzuki's lines.\n\n(Incidentally, he apparently is emceeing the live event [\"Koutetsujou no\nUtage\"](http://kabaneri.com/event/utage/) which is happening as I type.)\n\n",

"body": "\n\nFirst of all, I would like to mention that the passing on of the dragon's\npowers isn't such a simple matter in the first place. I might be wrong but\njudging from the different dragons' back stories, it is pretty much evident\nthat the passing on of the dragons' powers is not supposed to be genetic. A\ngenetic transfer of powers would mean that a dragon would have to marry\nsomeone and bear a child which doesn't seem to be the case in any of the\ndragons' stories.\n\nTake Shin Ah for instance. His back story revealed that he lived and was\ntrained by a previous Seiryuu who wasn't his father. None of the dragons' back\nstories gives any sort of hints that might suggest that the dragon's powers\nonly appear in his own lineage. So that proves that the powers aren't\ntransferred genetically. It is more like \"magical\".\n\nIt is shown that when a dragon is grows old, the powers are slowly magically\ntransferred to a younger person who then carries on the previous dragon's\nwill. However, there might be other reasons for a dragon to lose their power\nwhich are not so clear yet.\n\nNow as for Zeno, from the information that the Manga has revealed so far, Zeno\nis immortal and it is not possible for him to transfer his powers. In fact, it\nis not up to a dragon at all to transfer his own power. It is simply not a\nmatter under his own control. None of the dragons can simply decide for\nthemselves to transfer their power to someone and it is definitely not\ngenetic.\n\nSo I would say, that Zeno cannot transfer his power to someone else. And since\nhe is immortal and doesn't grow old, his powers don't need to be transferred\nto anyone else. His body is simply always good enough to wield the power of\nthe dragon.\n\nThere might be another bigger reason behind Zeno's immortality than simply\nbeing King Hiryuu's shield. I think it is Zeno's responsibility to unite the\nfour dragons. They might sway from their beliefs or true responsibilities. But\nit might just be that Zeno was the one destined to always bring together the\nfour dragons. He is the only dragon alive who had actually met King Hiryuu. It\nmight be his responsibility to overlook the new King Hiryuu and guide him and\nthe other three dragons.\n\n",

Luffy achieves this by\nleveraging the fact that is complete body and not just the skin is made of\nrubber. Thus his blood Vessels and Heart can sustain tremendous blood pressure\nthat no normal human could survive. Using his Hands/feet as pumps, Luffy\nincreases his blood flow in the whole body or just parts (Post-Timeskip)\n\n> Essentially Luffy increases the blood flow by forcing more blood through his\n> blood vessels thus increase his fighting ability. This mode's enhancements\n> to Luffy's physiology giving him the ability to use a new, stronger set of\n> techniques which are generally the same as his old ones, but **are so fast\n> that even a skilled assassin would have a hard time actually seeing them**\n\nSource: [Gear Second: Overview and\ntechniques](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Gomu_Gomu_no_Mi/Gear_Second_Techniques)\n\nAlso note,\n\n> Most of the techniques in this mode are named the same as the regular\n> attacks with \"Jet\" added after the \"Gomu Gomu no\" prefix\n\nThese are just much much faster and thus have the incredibly high damage due\nto the impulsive nature of the impact. (Defined in physics as: A large force\napplied for a very short duration)\n\nAlso note the description of some of the moves. \n\n * Gomu Gomu no Jet Pistol: Luffy delivers a Gomu Gomu no Pistol so fast that the fist's movement is invisible, and it truly seems like he shoots his opponent[..]\n * Gomu Gomu no Jet Gatling: [..]Luffy stands still, bends forward and moves his arms upwards at speeds which they can no longer be seen, leaving only jet streams in their place[..] The hits land so fast that, after a volley, they seemingly connect simultaneously. The circles of air bursts from the punches surrounding Luffy, resemble the many barrels of an actual Gatling gun.\n\nFrom these descriptions and analyzing Luffy's powers we can assume he has to\ntouch the opponent for the desired effect. The attack you are thinking of is\nshown to be achieved by Bartholomew Kuma, who can use hi DF power to repel air\nusing his palms.\n\n",

{
"body": "\n\nI did a side by side comparison between both the ova and episode 24. I\nrepeated this 10-15 times to make sure. These are my findings: During the\nfirst part until saber looks at her hand it is the same. After that it\nchanges:\n\n * In the ova saber smiles and starts disappearing. She seems less keener to go though. Just as saber starts smiling Rin runs to save her. Rin shows a lot of determination to save her as well.\n\n * Episode 24: Rin completely forgets about saber. It is clear she's gonna disappear but she just mindlessly looks at the destroyed grail. Saber smiles and congratulates Rin, but Rin keeps staring at the destroyed grail. Saber is happier to go (her thoughts are \"shrirou has you\"). In the ova Rin starts running when saber smiles, but here she just forgets about saber.\n\nNow that we have the facts clear let's answer your question:\n\n 1. The archer question: It was already answered by someone in the other thread someone linked you in the comments. What was said is:\n\n\"Something I didn't mention before but is quite relevant is that Rin either\nsubsconciously or conciously chooses Archer (Shirou) over saber. She asks\narcher to remain in this world and cries when he doesn't accept. This happens\nin both the good and true ending (right before the good ending would come\narcher's scene).Think that if archer had accepted Rin's proposal both the true\nand happy endings would be the same (Rin - Shirou - Shirou). I do believe in\nthe good ending Rin runs to save saber because of how much Shirou cares for\nher (at least 4 points given to her). Even so by asking archer to stay\nafterwards saber would have left this world had archer accepted (there's not\nenough mana for both of them and Rin knows it. She also knows saber isn't\nselfish to stay that way, by asking archer she's in a way betraying saber,\nthat's why she thinks \"I know I shouldn't ask\" (but she does ask...) and\narcher says \"I do not know if you will keep your contract with saber, but I am\nnor qualified for that\")\"\n\n 2. Why doesn't Rin save Saber in episode 24 of Unlimited Blade Works?\n\nIt would appear she forgets about her. If I had to guess I'd say that Shirou\ngiving points to both girls plays a mayor role:\n\n * True ending: Having received all the points Rin forgets about saber for some time. Shirou can live happily without saber and Rin can do the same. You could say Rin's mind is telling her everything's ok. (I'm assuming she never realises she's disappearing and that's why she's looking at where the noble phantasm was thrown. If she knows she's dying then she's a selfish BITCH). Saber is also happier to go. She knows she doesn't play a big role in Shirou's life.\n\n * Good ending: Rin's mind works perfectly and she quickly makes a dash towards saber. Rin knows Shirou needs saber and she likes spending time with saber as well. Her mind and body work at its fullest to saver her. Saber, knowing Shirou's love towards her, accepts. This is actually quite important. Both contitions are in my opinion relevant. If saber hadn't felt she's needed by Shirou she would have likely chosen death even if Rin had cried and begged her to stay (just like she did with archer)\n\nMy conclusion: In the end the one that plays the mayor role is Rin. I do\nbelieve she doesn't even remember saber cast her noble phantasm and is dying.\nYou have to think that Rin can't just look at saber and say: hahahaha die you\nsaber bitch! Rin forgetting about saber is most likely the best option to show\nshe cares a bit less about her but at the same time allowing her to keep her\ngood nature (had she remembered she's dying just a few meters away she might\nhave run to save her). Then again it may also be that in her heart Rin\naccepted Shirou and her should be together just the 2 of them and purposely\ndid it. We'll never know. I want to believe saber becomes less relevant and\nRin just forgets about her, it's a much better interpretation. Another valid\ntheory is hesitation. Rin hesitates for a few seconds, just enough for it to\nbe too late to save saber. Just rest assured, she's not a cold-blooded\nmurderer. If it were up to her I'm sure she'd rather everyone lives happily.\nThe ova just shows that the good ending Tohsaka doesn't hesitate for even a\nsecond. The reason? It has to be that Shirou cares more about saber cause\neverything else is the same (Rin and saber have the exactly same relationship\nin both the good and true endings).\n\n",

"body": "\n\nSpoilers regarding the H-scenes ahead\n\nI take it it appears too good to be true for you. Now, is it canon? Nasu did\nconfirm it as such.\n\nIf I had to state my opinion I'd say as a whole Rin's scene does seem very\nreasonable just like the other eclipse scenes. If something, I'd add that the\ncompetition part (they fight to win over who pleasures the other more; Shirou\nbecoming even a bit cruel and unlike himself whe he tells her at the beginning\nto touch herself while he watches), Rin using her magic to make her weight\ndisappear even when orgasming and the use of apphrodisiacs may be more like\nfanservice, but then again it is an eroge and since the very beginning Nasu\nmade Shirou unable to give mana but through sex because he has no magical\nknowledge. You can't get more porn vibes than that. Think that Rin becoming\nmore feminine, enjoying herself with Shirou and starting to accept her\nfeelings a bit more is what makes sense after the UBW route.\n\nI was the first one to reply this question and now there are 5 other answers\n(there are 6 counting mine as of now, from кяαzєя, Memor, Lord, Echomateria,\nDumpster Player and myself). I don't agree with some statements from кяαzєя as\nI showed in my comments to his answer. After reading all the answers I have\nmore reasons to believe it does happen after UBW. Some of the arguments given\nin other answers are that the eclipse scenes are canon as I had said in my\noriginal post, that they don't belong to Fate Hollow's actual game but are\ninstead set up to be a direct continuation of some of the original game\nendings... And it's true. They don't belong to the storyline followed by Fate\nHollow and it's also true they've been composed to follow Fate Stay Night\nendings. It does make sense for them to be a continuation as their canonicity\nhas been established by the game authors. Pretty much everyone defend this\npoint of view (Echomateria, Memor, Lord and myself outright defend this point\nof view).\n\nAbout Hollow's true ending, which happens outside the time loop, Memor and\nDumpster didn't touch this topic as it wasn't asked by the OP. I would\ncompletely agree with Echomateria and Lord's answer in that regard though a.\nAs echomateria said in his answer it would be an alternate reality, just like\neach route is an alternate reality from each other. So basically it would be\nanother route made by Nasu. According to the creators an scenario also exists\nwhere it is actually the sequel to Stay Night. This was actually treated in\nmore detail by Lord in his answer. When Takeuchi was asked whether Hollow is\nthe continution of all 3 routes his conclusion was that the reader should\ninterpret it however he wants, so either way.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI'm gonna express my opinion regarding the OP question. I will explain where I\ngot got my info and how I came upon my conclusion. My opinion based on Nasu\nand Takeuchi's words is that it can be considered a sequel to the original\ngame if the reader wants it and therefore so would the eclipse scenes. I will\nalso add a theory at the end of my post and it will be based on the way the\neclipse scenes are set, my experience reading 100% of the Visual Novel and\nNasu's answer to the first question.\n\n<http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Fate/hollow_ataraxia> (at the end of the page\nyou can see Nasu and Takeuchi expressing their opinion regarding Fate Hollow).\nI will use quotes of that.\n\nFate Hollow Ataraxia was sold back in the day as a sequel and even the true\nending, now outside the loop, is called \"sequel\".\n\nI side with Sanji's opinion in this regard. After reading the whole interview\nthere's no question they don't deny it. The first question the interviwer\nmakes is whether hollow is the after story or not. Nasu's answer was: \"We\nmentioned it a little bit earlier, but “hollow” is set in Fuyuki city half a\nyear after Fate/stay night. But despite that, the story’s starting from a\nsituation where everyone, + some extra people and minus a certain character,\nis present and nobody thinks that’s unusual.\"\n\nI believe it's normal he'd say that, after all he's describing the time-loop.\nBut even so he finishes saying \"but we believe it should be left up to the\nuser’s imagination\"\n\nThe second question is \"So, should it be best to think that Fate/hollow\nataraxia isn’t a continuation of the Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, and Heavens\nFeel arcs of the last game?\"\n\nTakeuchi's answer is quite vague:\"It’s not really what happens after each\nroute, but more of a “counter” to “Fate/stay night” itself…..is what feels\nmore comfortable right now... Basically, I think the player should interpret\nit however he wants.\"\n\nSaying \"is what feels confortable right now isn't a compelling argument\". In\nthe end he says the reader decides, just like Nasu.\n\nThe third question is yet again a similar version of the others: \"Is it safe\nto assume that Hollow's \"Sequel\" follows none of the three routes’ endings in\nFate/stay night? (meaning a parallel universe with different possibilities)\"\nThe answer Nasu gives: \"It’s best if you don’t think too much about it\".\n\nWhat I see is that both of them arrive at the same conclusion, the reader\ndecides, and want to leave it at that.\n\nOnce the characters get out of the loophole, if you like the ending your\nheadcanon becomes canon because the authors say so. So the true ending of Fate\nHollow would become the sequel to Fate Stay Night.\n\nIf you don't like it, then don't worry. The original story remains untouched\nand Ataraxia is either a fourth route or the ending to one of the original\nroutes.\n\nIt might seem vague, but if both of them literally tell the reader to\ninterpret it however he wants it's impossible to have a clear asnwer. They\nmake canon both interpretations in a very straightforward manner.\n\nAbout the interpretation it was written in a non-serious manner given by\nкяαzєя It is based on the answer \"It’s best if you don’t think too much about\nit\"\n\nNo matter how I look at it, the only thing I see is the interviewer wanting a\nclear answer. It is the third time a very similar question is asked and this\ntime Nasu makes it stop saying \"dont think too much about it\", which makes\nsense given his previous replies. Nasu knows they gave 2 vague replies the\nprevious times \"it will be up to the user\" and he just sticks to it.\n\nAnother reason why I'm sure it's this way is that it would have been very easy\nto just say yes to the last question, saying it is another universe like he\ndoes with many of his works (Unlimited Blade Works, Prisma Illya, Fate\nExtra...).\n\nIn my opinion him not saying that would mean we are in the same universe and\nthe reader can consider it a sequel to FSN if he wants to as they say. I'd\nalso say Nasu actually gives a lot of credit to this work, which is btw is 2/3\nof the original visual novel's size.\n\nNonetheless, I do believe, based on the way the eclipse scenes are set and my\nexperience reading 100% of the Visual Novel and Nasu's words that there is\nbetter way to think Rin's eclipse scene happens after UBW.\n\nIf you finished reading the Visual Novel you must have realized the eclipse\nscenes take place outside the proper game. They're set up exactly to continue\neach route. In Rin's case, Shirou describes their previous time making love\nand past experiences in UBW. Rider would be Heaven's Feel, so would Sakura...\n\nNasu said \" We mentioned it a little bit earlier, but “hollow” is set in\nFuyuki city half a year after Fate/stay night. But despite that, the story’s\nstarting from a situation where everyone, + some extra people and minus a\ncertain character, is present and nobody thinks that’s unusual. While Shirou,\nthe protagonist thinks this is weird, he can’t figure out what exactly is\nunusual. He’s in that kind of unstable situation, but he’s genuinely enjoying\nthe “festivities” feeling that it’s great how everyone’s around\".\n\nNevertheless, these scenes don't belong to that description and they're\nclearly staged after each route. They don't belong to the actual plot of the\ngame. Nasu confirmed them as canon so I don't have any reason to believe they\ndon't really happen after each route. In my opinion they're like a bonus.\n\nIt's not something very relevant but Memor said in a thread things like the\nfact that it is confirmed Rider-Shirou because of the love confession in her\neclipse scene, not a very far-fetched comment considering Nasu said those\nscenes are canon.I would agree with him. So yes, in my opinion Rin's scene is\ncanon and would take place after UBW. Or at the very least the authors tell\nyou can interpret it that way.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nTo answer your question let's start with the question ¿What's Fate Hollow\nAtaraxia?\n\nFate Hollow is an alternate reality, just like each route is an alternate\nreality of each other. You can basically consider it the fourth route to the\noriginal game.\n\nThe reasons why it is called a sequel by many people are:\n\n 1. Because the authors say an scenario exists where it is actually a direct continuation. If they say so there must be some truth behind it.\n\n 2. I'm gonna make an example to make it more clear: The thing is that Rin develops a new kind of magic. This was explained a little at the end of FSN. This magic allows travel between dimensions and therefore routes. The example would be a hand that picks 2 girls and throws them to a new dimension/route. One girl is Sakura, who is picked from after the war HF. The other is Rin, from after the war UBW. So, do we have different route? Yes, but Sakura comes from Heaven's Feel ending so her actions in Ataraxia reflect what she would do in her own route under certain circumstances. The same for Rin. This second point is a reason to consider it kinda a sequel.\n\nThe eclipse/hentai scenes are quite different though from the actual game.\nThey aren't part of Fate Hollow Ataraxia. They really are a fully-fledged\ncontinuations of the original game endings as they are written to literally\ncontinue them. They are something like a plus and are clearly written to\ncontinue FSN endings. Nasu made a confirmation of them being canon. If we add\nthe fact that they aren't part of the actual Ataraxia game and that they\nfollow endings from the original game it would make zero sense to not consider\nthem their continuation.\n\n * The eclipse scene begginers that you ask about references Rin and Shirou's sexual activities in UBW between other stuff. What Nasu is telling us is that their sex is going well, unlike in the original game. Nothing to worry about.\n\n * Sakura's scene happens after Heaven's Feel.\n\n * Saber's scene golden bathtub most likely happens after UBW good ending. It can't be the fate route as the first time Shirou and Saber have sex alone is the night before she dies, where he was so nervous he didn't even know what to do. There aren't more times to have sex as she dies afterwards. Saber in Fate Hollow comes from UBW good ending. The way the H-scene occurs makes it seem they're not in a formal relationship (having sex sometimes is what their relationship seems to be about) and that Saber is fine and isn't gonna die. It shouldn't come as a surprise though. In UBW Good ending Nasu hints strongly Shirou is gonna have sex with Saber. Some hints are that Shirou's magical energy (semen) is needed to maintain saber as Rin's energy isn't enough, Saber says in the VN she's staying for him, Rin tells saber not to flirt with him and to stop looking at each other for so long. Basically one of the typical harem endings in a porn game. We don't know if Rin and Saber have sex in Unlimited good ending as nothing is ever hinted/mentioned in either the eclipse scenes or the game itself that may point out they ever have a sexual relationship over there. Also, Rin provides magic to Saber thanks to her link and no sex is needed as she's an experienced magi.\n\n * The Rider scene happens after HF. Basically it is revealed that Rider falls in love with Shirou and likes meeting him to have sex with him. In her eclipse scene she confesses she loves him. Rider says she thinks about him when she's alone but she feels bad about Sakura.\n\nIs it something new? Not really, we just got a confirmation of what we already\nknew. Remember when Rider said she is sucking regularly someone's blood and\nthat she can't let Sakura Know? That is mentioned somewhere at the end of\nHeaven's Feel in the original game. She thought that after 2 years living\ntogether with Shirou and Sakura. They're the only ones living together in the\nEmiya house (Rin lives in London). So it has to be Shirou as she thinks Sakura\nmust not know. And how does Rider suck blood? She just bites you unless you're\nShirou. In Heaven's Feel Route She finds Shirou so juicy she has sex with him\nas well. The rest of the people just got the bite.\n\nMy final conclusion: I've based my answer on a few facts. We know that the\neclipse/hentai scenes aren't part of Fate Hollow Ataraxia's actual game. We\nknow that they were confirmed as canon by the authors. We also know that they\nare written to continue certain endings from the original game. Final\nconclusion: To me it would make zero sense for them not to be their direct\ncontinuation.\n\n",

{
"body": "\n\nThough there are no sources, we can surmise the difference in the nature of\nrelationships between Luffy and Law and Luffy and Straw Hat Grand Alliance.\n\n**Straw Hat-Heart Alliance** was formed on Punk Hazard by their two captains\nin order to defeat Kaido, one of the four Yonko of the New World. According to\nLaw, who proposed the alliance, their cooperation would give them a 30% chance\nto defeat the Yonko.\n\n**The Straw Hat Grand Fleet** is a fleet formed by seven organizations who\nvowed to serve under Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hats. These seven\norganizations are represented by\n\n> 1 **Cavendish** \\- Beautiful Pirate (75) \n> 2 **Bartolomeo** \\- Barto Club (56) \n> 3 **Sai** \\- Happo Navy (1000) \n> 4 **Ideo** \\- XXX Gym Martial Arts Alliance (4) \n> 5 **Leo** \\- Tonta Corps (200) \n> 6 **Hajrudin** \\- New Giant Warrior Pirates (5) \n> 7 **Orlumbus** \\- Yonta Maria Grand Fleet (4300)\n\nThe key difference to note is the missing objective in the second. Luffy-Law\nalliance was formed for the purpose of defeating Kaido, one of the Yonko, so\nthey could go closer to the title of Yonko themselves and hence the Pirate\nKing. They are still rivals (Friends/Enemies) but while they are pursuing the\nsame mini objective (defeat the Yonko) they are co-operating with each other.\nThe members of Grand Fleet would support Luffy unconditionally.\n\n[Pirate Alliances in One\nPiece](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Pirate_Alliance) is an interesting read.\nSome important points\n\n> * The captains who formed the alliance are theoretically equal in status,\n> and cannot give each other orders. They may have limited control over each\n> other's crews, but the highest authority still lies with the respective\n> captains.\n> * An alliance is usually formed with the purpose of reaching a specific,\n> mutual goal. It may be something that neither crew could accomplish on their\n> own\n> * A common problem with pirate alliances is betrayal; when one captain\n> sees no more use of the other, it results in treason in order to reduce the\n> needs to share glory.\n>\n\nThus we can surmise Luffy and Law share the status of EQUALS, while those of\nthe grand fleet share the status of SUBORDINATES. Also note that this\nobjective has been extended on request of Momonosuke, since Kaido is holding\nthe Shogun as well, dubbed as **Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance**\n\n_Extended Question in Comments_ **So, the Grand Fleet are subordinate Law\ntoo?**\n\nThe short answer is No. The Grand fleet is oathsworn to Luffy, but they are in\nno obligation to follow even when they are in alliance.\n\nHowever, this often comes out to nothing since Law has the brains and\njudgement and the leaders of fleet have enough sense to follow those orders.\nThe wikia however also states\n\n> In a situation where one of the captains gets captured, the other can take\n> charge of their remaining subordinates.\n\nThus in adverse scenarios, Luffy's Crew and subordinates may listen to Law\nbecause of his status as a captain of an allied crew, but they can have their\nown judgements.\n\nI made a poor example of Shanks and Whitebeard, but it does help to illustrate\nmy point. They both are Yonko, Whitebeard's Generals know that Shanks is\n_allied_ to their interests (The battle with Kaido). But they do not follow\nShanks after the death of Whitebeard but Marco instead. Also note they DO\nretreat after Whitebeard's death because what Shanks said made sense. Though\nhe did _threaten_ the consequences.\n\n",

Either they made a mistake or they changed it.\nThey've made quite a few changes and Nasu said those changes are canon (an\nalternative universe) so it could very well be a better adaptation of their\nsituation in London in which both Rin and Shirou spend a lot of time together.\n\nIf that's the case I'd say there are 2 reasons.\n\n 1. Because she's crazy possesive and selfish. I lost count of how many times she said \"You're mine\" in the VN, even outside her route.\n\n 2. This is IMO 90% of the reason. Because of Shirou's personality and circumstances. From the very beginning in the VN Shirou is doing part-time jobs to be able to pay for his daily expenses. It is stated he could stop doing them but he doesn't want to be a freeloader. What happens in London is that he feels compelled to pay for the food, travel expenses... and he no longer has the part-time job income as he's not in Japan doing them. It would only be natural for him to look for work in London.\n\nMy guess is that in the anime Rin pretty much forced him to take the job. That\nway everyone wins: Rin gets to spend a lot of time with Shirou (otherwise he'd\nbe all day working outside the magic lessons), he takes her to places to spend\ntime together, he does things like cooking and Rin would paying for everything\nwhile they're together in London. I'm pretty sure Shirou would have accepted\neven if he wasn't paid, so I wouldn't say Rin is taking advantage of him.\n\nEdit: I've been looking for it for 15 minutes and finally found it. Just so\nthat you know the jobs he's doing in Japan are not a breeze, this is one of\nthem:\n\n> A simple loading job from five to eight o'clock. Even though it's only three\n> hours, there's six hours worth of work to do. They make you run around\n> without a minute's rest.\n\nMoreover, Fuji-nee is constantly telling him not to arrive too late at night\nbecause of work. The only reason you don't see him working in the VN is\nbecause he gives up those part-time jobs because of the war (it makes\nsense...) but in reality his time is 99% school, part-time jobs and chores he\ndoes for free.\n\n",

It is possible that\naccording to Goku, time does not exist in the afterlife; as such, using Super\nSaiyan 3 there is easier. For Gotenks' case, they are basically geniuses at\nSSJ as they are 1/2 Human 1/2 Saiyan Hybrid. I covered this topic [here (Are\nhalf-blooded Saiyans stronger than pure-blooded\nSaiyans?)](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/29205/are-half-blooded-\nsaiyans-stronger-than-pure-blooded-saiyans/29213#29213).\n\n**Could Vegeta Achieve SSJ3 Transformation**\n\nAlso, there are no official answers to that yet. In theory, Vegeta did have\nthe power, and he was strong and capable enough to achieve it. If he train in\nthe Otherworld after he died during Buu Saga, he might push himself forward a\nbit more, making him easier to achieve the form. Vegeta witnessed Goku\nfighting Kid Buu in SSJ3 form, he understood that it was extremely powerful,\nyet it had serious drawbacks. It notably leads to extended levels of fatigue,\neven long after powering down. Through training, Super Saiyan 2 actually seems\nto be a more reliable, stable and more effective form. But, as always, vegeta\nspends all of his time playing catch up that he never even thought to consider\na possibility of a form beyond Super Saiyan 2.\n\n**How to Achieve SSJG Transformation**\n\nThis was easy. It is done by performing a ritual. It requires 6 pure hearted\nsaiyans hold hands in a circle and transfer their ki into the Saiyan who is\nbecoming the Super Saiyan God.\n\n\n\nGoku is selected as the main Saiyan because you know, he's the main character.\nIn [episode\n9](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Sorry_About_the_Wait,_Lord_Beerus_%E2%80%94_Finally,_Super_Saiyan_God_is_Born!)\nof Dragon Ball Super, Goku said he'll make Vegeta the next one if he failed\nbecoming Super Saiyan God through the ritual.\n\n**Could Vegeta Achieve SSJG Transformation**\n\nIn theory, yes, very likely. Vegeta could have achieved SSJG form if he's the\nmain one during the ritual, but yet it doesn't have concrete proof on that.\n\n",

However you look\nat it, there is a three-year gap, except between 2011 and 2013, but we can\nrule that one out. In fact, we can pinpoint the exact years (2013/2016) in the\nanime before the revelation of the time gap if we make the following\nobservations:\n\n * Taki's smartphone is an [iPhone 6s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_6s) in space gray, the only finish with a black faceplate. iPhone 6s was first released on **September 25, 2015**.\n * Mitsuha's smartphone is an [iPhone 5s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_5s). It could not have been an iPhone 5 as noted in the _Kimi no Na wa. Official Visual Guide_ (page 110), due to the redesigned front camera and the new home button integrated with a [Touch ID](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch_ID) sensor that were first introduced with the iPhone 5s. Either the props design was intentionally rough, or that after the release of the [iPhone SE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_SE_\\(1st_generation\\)), Makoto Shinkai noticed its extreme similarity to the iPhone 5s and took advantage of it, as well as its convenient release date, **March 31, 2016** , to help mask the time gap. He even went as far as giving Mitsuha a rose gold colored phone protector, which only became available as a finish since iPhone 6s, to further confuse us of the time Mitsuha was living in. iPhone 5s was released in Japan on **September 20, 2013** , eight days after the September 12 screenshotted above (is that an oversight?) and almost three years before its doppelganger, the iPhone SE, would be released (that's a three-year time gap right there!).\n * The only meteor confirmed to have resulted in a large number of casualties is the [2013 Chelyabinsk meteor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelyabinsk_meteor), which, like in the movie, also split into two main fragments after the primary airburst disruption. As a reminder, the fictional Itomori Accident occurred on October 4, 2013.\n\nHowever, the first true hint was given much earlier, in the fascinating OP:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/XQWSt.gif)\n\nNotice here Taki suddenly grew taller while Mitsuha remained the same height.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/pZjsJ.jpg)\n\nThen in the 12-key-frames animation sequence that basically summarized the\nfilm, Makoto Shinkai is again playing tricks on us with the changing outfits,\nsome of which are seasonal uniform switches, by pretending that Mitsuha also\nmoved up in grades when in fact she did not. According to [Learn All About\nJapanese Girls’ School Uniforms and Become an\nExpert!](https://tokyogirlsupdate.com/japanese-school-\nuniform-20150856907.html),\n\n> Except for the warm season, girls usually wear sweaters or vests. Unless\n> they have a school sweater or vest that they have to wear, they usually\n> choose their own. The basic colors would be white, black, gray, and beige.\n\nThe sweaters are not part of the school uniform, but her own, as further\nsupported by the three schoolmates who showed up for Mitsuha's confession each\nwearing a sweater of a different color.\n\n",
