"body": "\n\nSo the answer to original question is:\n\nYES. He technicly could. And he potentially has multiple ones. Here's another\nscene from the fight (yes, it's a different scene, about 5 minutes later.\nAnimation is expensive kids.) [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/FkeWg.png)\n\nAs Bhagyesh mentioned in a comment, only living people have chakra, so in my\nhead-cannon it works like that:\n\nEach human is like a vessel, and chakra is like a fluid. Sasori's technique of\ncreating human puppets allows puppets to retain original \"chakra shape\". so\nthat when he channels chakra through them, it behaves in the same way it did\nwhen they were alive.\n\nThis is supported by Chiyo when she said that \"3rd had a special body\ncomposure which allowed him to turn his chakra into magnetic forces\", as well\nas the fact when 3rd kazekage got resurrected in war arc he was considerably\nstronger than his puppet form (presumably because of infinite chakra supply).\n\nBut. Why \"technically\" and \"potentially? Well Because his sharingan puppets\nare shown to be really really weak. And if they actually had sharingans I\nwould imagine them being at least really good at hand to hand, and maybe able\nto cast some genjutsu at the very least.\n\nSo in my opinion, knowing that Sasori is master of deception It's very much\npossible, that he just painted sharingans onto wooden balls to look like\nactual sharingans just to make his puppets more terrifying (sharingan being\npretty much the most feared kekkei genkai in the world).\n\nSo TL;DR He technically could have built Uchiha human puppets and use every\nsingle one of their jutsu, and at the same chakra price as OG Uchiha. But he\nprobably didn't. They look and act as if they are just for show, so there is\nno reason to think that they have anything more behind them.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIchigo may seem like a one off outlier, but in fact, there was another\ncharacter, mentioned by Nimaiya himself, who was not a Gotei member but had a\nzanpaktou, Zaraki. Kenpachi Zaraki took an Asuchi off of a dead shinigami, who\nhe may or may not have killed first. This gave him a zankakuto that he used to\ngreat success against the Kenpachi of that time. This shows Asuchi are\ntransferable to some degree.\n\nSecond and also the important, when Ichigo first got his powers, he got them\nfrom Rukia. Rukia was an above average Shinigami who already had shikai. When\nshe gave him his powers, she did not find it strange he had a Zanpakuto, she\nrather found that its massive size was strange. She, someone who had to get an\nAsuchi to have a Zanpakuto, was not focused on Ichigo's possession of one,\nWhich hints that she gave him hers.\n\nSo, Ichigo most likely got his Asuchi from Rukia, But that leaves a few plot\nholes in place. When did she get it back, or did she ever. If she never got it\nback, why did Nimaiya say he did not have one, and why did Rukia clearly have\none during the Arancar arc?\n\nThis all boils down to being a Plot hole. Asuchi were not fully fleshed out in\nthe beginning of the series, so they were mostly left vague. But that is not\nthe question here, The question is why they were not surprised he had one. The\nbest answer for that is unfortunately only Theory, the theory that they\nthought he still had Rukia's Asuchi, or perhaps obtained one from someone else\nsomehow. As noted with Zaraki, it is entirely possible for non Gotei 13\nmembers to obtain Asuchi, though it is rare. In any case, it did not matter to\nthem. If they thought about it, they would have probably thought he\nstole/borrowed it from Rukia, or maybe though some unknown means obtained a\nsecond one.\n\nSo, Basically, when he showed up, he had a Zanpakuto, how he got it was\nirrelevant to them. Though very rare, there was other methods to getting an\nAsuchi besides becoming a Gotei 13 Shinigami. From a Plot persepctive, Its a\nhole. One can only Theorize how everything played out. My personal theory on\nthis is that Byakuya broke it, and since he lost Rukias powers at that time,\nit never healed and was discarded. Rukia then likely got a new one from the\nGotei 13.\n\n",

When Ishida feels pissed off because of an act or the attitude of someone/something, the \"X\" mark would be put on their faces. And when would the \"X\" mark be taken down? When Ishida thinks like \"I like him/her, such a nice person\" about someone or something.\n\n 2. Because Ueno is so hypocritical, that make Ishida so pissed and happy at the same time. The X mark on Ueno's face was first marked in volume 3, and it came off in Volume 7 (the last volume), when Ishida tried to change himself. In volume 7, all the 'X' marks that everyone had in Ishida's perspective have already come off\n\nThe content from this point on contains spoilers. Read it at your own risk.\n\nFrom what I could figure, the most accepted answer for this kind of question\nis one where you can find in the manga version. Although I have not watched\nthe anime in full, the anime version seems lacking in explanation. And of\ncourse I have finished the manga.\n\n**1\\. What is the significance of the X on people's faces from Ishida's\nperspective?**\n\nThe X's first appeared in Volume 1, Chapter 5, page 2-6. Here are some of the\npages (read from right to left)\n\nPage 2-3\n\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/hLVBP.jpg)\n\nPage 4-5\n\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/DVLYP.jpg)\n\nPage 6\n\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/as4hW.jpg)\n\nHe has an\n\n> anxiety disorder being with other people. He feels pissed off because of his\n> own negative thought about the others. Look at the yellow marker, he hates\n> everything, even the friend of friends that he hated. The \"X\" mark can be\n> symbolized as \"Not My Friend\" or \"No interest to interact with them\". So\n> that's the reason why the entire class have \"X\" mark on their faces. For\n> Nagatsuka why he got \"X\" mark from the first, there is something that Ishida\n> hates about him. For the other people like Sahara that doesn't have \"X\" mark\n> when they met on the train, because Ishida has no reason to hate Sahara for\n> some reason (exclude his classmate nor neighborhood that he hate). He will\n> put the \"X\" mark down when someone wants to acknowledge him more and he\n> trusted it.\n\n**2\\. Why does Ueno get the X on and off?**\n\nIt's explained in Volume 3, Chapter 18, Page 12-17 (read from right to left).\n\nPage 12-13\n\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Y3FQ1.jpg)\n\nPage 14-15\n\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Ua1Bm.jpg)\n\nPage 16-17\n\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/phqDc.jpg)\n\nIshida said that he doesn't care about his ex-friend (aka all his elementary\nschool friends) in pages 12-13, but when he met Ueno for the first time since\njunior high school, he did care. At first, Ueno's face didn't have the \"X\"\nmark but in chapter 21, pages 9-10, Ueno did something terrible to Shouko, and\nthat made Ishida really pissed of with Ueno's attitude. So that's why Ueno got\nthe 'X' mark on pages 15-16.\n\nPage 9-10\n\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/CPSVi.jpg)\n\nPage 15-16\n\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Sw0il.jpg)\n\n",

Now nothing Trunks does\nin either world affects the other because they are two separate time-lines.\n\nBecause Trunks broke the taboo big-time by going backwards.\n\nIt was mentioned in Super that anytime time is travelled reversely, a time-\nring is born to give representation of a new universe being created. [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/fJhia.png)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/5ejpL.png)\n\n**Fast Forward to Dragon Ball Super**\n\nNow in DBS, Buu was never revived in World B because Trunks killed Babidi and\nDabura due to a power buff he got from training with Supreme Kai and Kibito\nwith the Z-Sword. [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/b4pa8.png)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/bHnWf.jpg)\nHowever, it is revealed in the manga that the battle with Dabura took a heavy\ndownturn, as not only did the Z-Sword get turned to stone and obliterated (eg.\nGrandpa Supreme Kai sealed within it was killed), [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/mdfpY.png)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/6O0D6.jpg)\nbut Dabura killed Kibito [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/XFGJS.jpg)\nand Babidi killed Supreme Kai. [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Pkz5V.png)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/UA08Y.jpg)\n\nWe already know that no Supreme Kai = no god of destruction aka no Beerus\nbecause their existence is a set. Which also equates to no Whis because Whis\nis an angel that exists solely to serve the god of destruction. This also\nmeans that the Potara Fusion and Elder Kai unlock ability are non-existent in\nWorld B.\n\nSo looking at the Gowasu in World B, it was shown in the anime that he was\nmurdered by Zamasu who took a time-ring and collected the Super Dragon Balls\nand wished for Goku's body.\n\nWith that time-ring he went to the past of World B.\n\n**This is where things get icky**\n\nBecause Black did reverse travel like Trunks, he made a new time-line. In this\nWorld C he was still plain old Zamasu but was planning to kill Gowasu as he\nhad just sparred with Goku.\n\nBlack killed Gowasu for a second time and influenced his past self to join\nhim. This World B past tense Zamasu collected the Super Dragon Balls and\nwished for an immortal body. With that, immortal Zamasu got a new time ring\nfrom Black's reversal which allowed them both to go back to World B and kill\nall the gods of each universe in that timeline.\n\n**The real kick in the chops**\n\nSo Beerus found out, got mad, and killed Zamasu in World A. That means nothing\nfor two reasons: first, Beerus' actions do not matter in this world because\nTrunks already separated the timelines way back in Dragon Ball Z; second, even\nif by some stretch of imagination God's affected the time-line differently, it\ndoes not matter because of the power of time ring.\n\nTHE PLOTHOLES HERE ARE GAPPING ONES\n\n * What happened to universe C?\n * What happened to Earth in universe C? Since in that case there would be 2 Trunks (I have no idea what the plural of Trunks is).\n * Why was there like 5 time rings in the episode that Gowasu revealed them? Trunks has not jumped back and forth 5 times. Or has he? Also, what's the difference between a green ring and a white ring? [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/X5v5n.jpg)\n\nNOTE: This is why when anime delves into multi-verse, time-travel stuff, it\nalways turns out bad unless it's Steins;Gate. <3\n\nEDIT: Finally complete!! Getting all those screenshots was a hassle but I\nthink my answer is as thorough as it can get.\n\nEDIT: Episode 67 of Super reveals why there are so many time rings. The answer\nis: 2 for Trunks, 1 for Cell, 1 for Black, 1 for Beerus, and 1 for Whis = 6\ntime rings as shown below.\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Mlgl1.png)\n\n",

From Zamasu's\npoint of view he killed Gowasu with Beerus and Whis thinking they'd killed\nhim, no one was there to stop him from gathering the Super Dragonballs and\nwishing for Goku's body which he envied after sparring with him in universe 10\nand using the time ring created by Trunks splitting the timeline to tell Goku\nabout the Androids as that world had no Supreme Kai and therefore no Beerus,\nwho was the only one with the will who powerful enough to stop him.

This wiki page mentions\nthat Soketsu erroneously calls Jin the son of Raizen in a variant of the\nEnglish dub: <http://yuyuhakusho.wikia.com/wiki/Souketsu>.\n\nSo, Jin is not really the son of Raizen. This is just an error in translation.\nEven if he was, he wouldn't be Yusuke's brother (or half-brother). Yusuke and\nother characters call Raizen Yusuke's father, but he actually isn't.

"body": "\n\n**TL;DR:** Rikka probably taught Nibutani the incantation before she headed\noff to battle Dekomori. The incantation probably does not come from\nShichimiya, since Shichimiya uses a different incantation in her battles\nagainst Rikka in season 2. Moreover, Nibutani most likely never did battle as\nMori Summer before, so it makes sense for Rikka to have taught her the\nincantation to start her battle with Dekomori.\n\n* * *\n\nFirstly, I dispute this piece of evidence:\n\n> If I remember correctly, Sophia Ring SP Saturn VII also uses the same\n> incantation. This is understandable since Sophia Ring SP Saturn VII was\n> friends with Dark Flame Master and went to the same school if I remember\n> correctly. Tyrant Eye came into existence due to Dark Flame Master.\n\nThe first time we see Shichimiya battle is in season 2 episode 3 _Tsuigeki no…\nMaou Mahou Shoujo_ (\"Magical Devil Girl… in Pursuit\"), when she challenges\nRikka at the latter's school. The incantation Shichimiya uses at that time is\ndifferent from Rikka's. The subtitles I've seen is translated as\n\n> \"Sing, cherubim! Descend, seraphim! Physical linkage!\"\n\nPerhaps someone knowledgeable in Japanese can identify the precise\nincantation; however, it is doubtless a different one from Rikka's, especially\nas the scene cuts between Rikka and Shichimiya as they each deliver the\ncorresponding lines of their incantations.\n\nThe same thing happens the second time Shichimiya and Rikka battle, this time\nin episode 9 _Namiuchigiwa no… Kyuukyoku Ougi (Rizouto Rasuto Rizouto)_\n(\"Ultimate Mystery… on the Shore (Resort Last Resort)\"), when Shichimiya\nconfronts Rikka at the beach about the latter's resolve.\n\nHowever, in the movie _Take on Me_ , when Shichimiya and Rikka are about to\nbattle at Aomori, Shichimiya responds to \"Reality, be rent!\" with \"Synapse,\nbreak!\" and both chant \"Vanishment, this world!\" together, before their battle\nis stalled by Kumin. But this instance can be chalked down to the director's\ncreative decision; I would say that it's clear from the instances in season 2\nthat Shichimiya usually uses a chant different from Rikka's when going into\nbattle.\n\nMoreover, while it is true that Yuuta received his name \"Dark Flame Master\"\nand his attack \"Be engulfed in the flames of darkness and disappear!\" from\nShichimiya, as he reveals in episode 3, he does not mention anything about the\nincantation. In fact, I think the only instance when Yuuta prepares an\nincantation of any sort is when he shows Rikka the Unseen Horizon right at the\nend of season 1. In that instance, he used Rikka's incantation, but I would\nhesitate to say that that shows that he was familiar with Rikka's incantation\nbefore meeting her and getting to know her at the new school. So, while it is\ntrue that the Tyrant's Eye came into existence due to the Dark Flame Master,\nwho in turn came into existence due to Sophia Ring SP Saturn VII, I don't\nthink this provides any link between Rikka's incantation and Shichimiya's\nincantation.\n\n* * *\n\nHow then does one explain Nibutani's use of the same incantation as used by\nRikka and Dekomori in her fight with the latter? My reading of that episode is\nas follows.\n\nRecall that Rikka was present when Yuuta was about to offer his advice to\nNibutani about how she can get Dekomori to hand over the Mabinogion. The scene\ncuts away at this point, but it is reasonable to assume that Rikka was present\nduring Yuuta's suggestion to try and defeat Dekomori in battle. I surmise that\nRikka might have stepped in at some point and taught Nibutani the incantation\nthat she and Dekomori use to enter battle.\n\nAfter all, Nibutani has possibly never done battle before during her phase as\nMori Summer. In season 2 episode 3, when Rikka is practicing her attacks\nagainst Kumin—who is playing the role of a provisional magical girl—ostensibly\nto defeat Shichimiya the next time they battle, Nibutani interrupts them and\npoints out that Kumin is more of a _sentou shoujo_ (\"Battle Girl\") than a\n_mahou shoujo_ (\"Magical Girl\"), and she goes on to add:\n\n> In the first place, magic is supposed to make people happy. The spirits who\n> manipulate magic were always thoroughly pure of heart. They never resorted\n> to brute force…\n\nHer explanation is dropped midway, but her non-violent approach as Mori Summer\nis clear, not only from the above explanation, but also from her general\ndemeanour and actions as Mori Summer: having priestess-like accessories,\nsinging choir songs, talking to the birds, communing with Nature, etc. All of\nthese point far away from a battle-oriented _chuuni_ persona.\n\nSo, my guess is that when Yuuta guided Nibutani to face Dekomori in battle,\nRikka offered Nibutani her incantation to kick things off.\n\n",

They could only\nsurvive if one strong soul took control of the body. Only Bradley was able to\nsurvive the process but it is unclear whether he truely did. A philosopher's\nstone contains many human souls and not even Bradley knows if the one\ncontrolling his body is the same one he started with.\n\nAs his body is mostly human, it ages.\n\nIt should be noted that the only other known human to survive this is Ling who\nbecame Greed. It was clear in that case that both souls remained in Ling's\nbody.\n\n",

This was noted by Konan and was mentioned during the fight\nbetween Konan and Tobi when the latter was about to retrieve the Rinnegan from\nNagato's corpse. If I remember correctly, to move his entire body he needs\nabout 5 seconds.\n\nNow add another person to the equation and you get 10 whole seconds before he\ncan do the jutsu successfully. 10 seconds next to a Jinchuuriki that knows\nyou're going to kill him. There's no way they're just going to sit tight and\nenjoy the trip. So this makes kidnapping the Jinchuuriki and ganging up on\nthem at the hideout like you're suggesting as an impossible thing to do.\n\n",

No. Natsu was perfectly human at\nthat time, and as long as he is human and have control of himself, there would\nbe no reason for him to kill Natsu. Besides, at that time the Spriggan 12 is\nyet to be eliminated. Obviously Spriggan 12 is a bigger threat than END that\nis clearly on his side. So, once again, he doesn't have to kill END (at least\nnot at that time) and he certainly shouldn't either.\n\nBut, Gray wanted to kill END. This is the difference. He wanted to kill END,\nbecause END is one of the Demons of the Book of Zeref. Gray is obsessed with\nkilling all of Zeref's demons (and eventually Zeref himself) because Deliora\nhas killed his family and later his master, Ur. He is motivated by vengeance,\nand this desires blinded him about the fact that END is a nakama. This is\nproved by Erza managing to stop him by making him remember that no matter\nwhat, Natsu is still Natsu.\n\n",

What you'll want to do is\nbreak the cube into eight pieces. Take one of these pieces. There are two\natoms on opposite corners (vertexes). One of these atoms is the central atom\n[A]0 and the other is the atom on the edge. It goes by simple logic that\nexactly half of this eighth of a cube is closer to one atom than the other.\nThis goes for all the other 8 pieces, so the volume of the cube closer to the\ncentral atom is simply half the total volume.\n\nThe problem is much simpler than it appears and I admit computing the volume\nby geometric pieces before I realized I was being dumb. It doesn't require\nvery much math. Just a solid grasp of logic and a bit of cleverness.\n\n",

Also he acts like a superior being, considering himself way better than others and not caring about training or hard work, but just being interested in powerful teammates and in winning at every cost. Also he calls everyone by his first names.\n\n * The original, on the other side, is very helpful and proning to teamplay. Is because of this that he awakens his \"true\" special ability, wich is the \"Zone\" (that a lot of the main characters awaken in the story) but the difference with his zone is the fact that he can help every one of his teammates to enter in the zone without much effort, which makes this a very powerful and dangerous ability. This personality calls people by their last names as a sign of respect.\n\nIn the end he is able to combine both of them in order to become even a better\nbasketball player having an enormous defense zone.\n\nAlso and just as an interesting detail, the original personality has red eyes,\nwhile the \"Emperor\" one has one eye red and the other gilded.\n\n",

He also admits that he has a weakness of fearing being left behind\n(as pointed out by Ore during their mental talks). \"Ore\" on the other hand,\nhas a superiority complex. He says that people should \"lower their head\" and\nthat he is \"absolute\" and he is constantly so sure that he will always win. He\ncalls people by their given name which is not really disrespectful or shows\nsigns of superiority or anything but it's just more respectful to use the last\nnames.\n\nAnother clear sign (in the anime) is that \"Boku\"'s eyes are both red while\n\"Ore\"'s eyes ahs the right one red and the left one yellow. It's not very\nnoticeable in the manga. \"Boku\" also focuses a lot on team play while \"Ore\"\nfocuses more on winning no matter what. This is why \"Boku\" can do things like\nperfect-rhythm-plays and gets not only him but his other teammates into the\nzone as well while \"Ore\" gets into the zone by abandoning all hope for his\nteammates.\n\nThere are a lot of differences between the two personalities for the plays he\nmakes. Of the two, it is said that \"Boku\" is stronger. However, both \"Boku\"\nand \"Ore\" were not strong enough to stop Nash and his Belial Eye and to defeat\nhim, \"Ore\" had to disappear and transfer his abilities to \"Boku\" in order for\nthe Emperor Eye to be complete. It's rather sad but... yeah.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nUpon using Mangekyou Sharingan, the user's eyesight will gradually gets worse.\nThe more the frequency and the more strain the user puts on the eyes, the\nfaster the process will be. Using Mangekyou Sharingan techniques such as\nAmaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susano'o puts great strain on the eyes, much much\ngreater than just activating it. Thus, Mangekyou Sharingan will gradually lose\nits eyesight until it became completely blind. The evidences are:\n\n 1. Itachi was almost blind during his fight against Sasuke.\n\n 2. Sasuke was nearly blind after the fight against Danzo.\n\n 3. Madara said that he was pretty much blind when he transplanted his brother's eyes.\n\nThe Straight Tomoe Mangekyou Sharingan is a Mangekyou Sharingan that **won't\ngradually lose its eyesight** like a normal Mangekyou Sharingan. Thus, it is\nalso known as the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. This is the biggest difference\nbetween the two.\n\nAnother difference between the two is that an **Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan\n(henceforth EMS) is awakened by transplanting another's Sharingan**.\nThroughout the canon (the manga) only Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Sasuke has\nachieved this. Both transplanted their brother's eye and both them and their\nbrothers has already achieved Mangekyou Sharingan (MS) when the\ntransplantation was done. An **MS is awakened by watching the death of someone\ndear** , which in Itachi's case was the death of his best friend, Uchiha\nShisui. In Sasuke's case is the death of Itachi. If I recall correctly Madara\nawakened his MS after the death of one of his brothers.\n\nAn EMS is not more powerful than an MS in term of power. It also doesn't\nunlock more occular jutsu. Upon acquiring EMS, Sasuke's Amaterasu didn't get\nany stronger. EMS only restores an MS' eyesight and removing its drawback of\ngetting blind, which is why it is called **Eternal**.\n\n",

Such as the perfect Suasnoo, the\nflame control techniques used in unison with Susanoo, and many other examples\nthat have to do with MS specific abilities. The other strength behind EMS is\nit allows the user to have even better eyesight, and also allows for them to\nsee in the dark as stated by Sasuke. Only Madara and Sasuke have truly\naccessed all of the fully developed versions of the base MS abilities because\nof their extended usage of their EMS.\n\n",

I mean would you personally pay a random guy on the street\n(who says hes a god) to do something for you if they were priced similar to a\nprofessional. This just increases Yato's likeableness as it makes the\nreader/viewers sympathise more with him and makes him seem like a little kid\nenjoying getting some pocket money. Yato's character being a goofy and\nirresponsible could imply that Yato, thought wanting to be a God, he just\nwants to be remembered and stay himself... even if that means keeping his\nprices the same to continue being remembered as the Cheap God. I think this is\nalso done to make us empathise with Yato when we find out about his dark past\nas through the flashbacks we see a very different and gloomy Yato whereas\nthroughout the whole series we have only seen the funny and childish almost\nYato. This could once again be a reason why Yato only charges 5 yen for his\nservices as he could be trying to take peoples mind away from his 'evil' (as\nsome may say) past and instead making people focus on how cheap he charges.\n\n",

Both obtained it by transplanting their\nbrothers' eyes and both of their brothers have obtained Mangekyou Sharingan\nbefore the transplatation happened. Thus, we can't say for sure whether\ntransplanting other close relatives eyes would work or not.\n\nGenetically speaking, a child is genetically 50% of his mother and 50% of his\nfather. Him and his sibling can be more similar in case of a identical twin.\nBut most of the time, they would be genetically more distant. A child would\nmost likely have a different sets of chromosome compared to his sibling.\nBecause of this, the genetic similarity between siblings vary.\n\nIf we are to take Madara and Sasuke's case as the base for our hypothesis,\nthen transplantation between a child and his parents should work.\nTransplanting from grandparents should also work since they are 25%\ngenetically similar. Transplanting from Aunt or Uncle might work, depending on\nhow similar they are to the recipient genetically. The further away they are\ngenetically, the less chance for it to work. That is if we take that Eternal\nMangekyou Sharingan requires Mangekyou Sharingan from a close relative.\n\n",

{
"body": "\n\nNote that I am leaning more heavily into addressing whether this is a plot\nhole than actually answering whether Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan requires\ntransplanting Mangekyō Sharingan (though I try to answer that too).\n\nThere's a point here that I don't see anyone making, and it's this: Sasuke was\nsupposed to have a Mangekyō Sharingan when he came into this fight. Itachi\nrepeatedly told Sasuke he needed to have the same eyes as him if he wanted any\nhope of defeating him. In other words, Itachi tried to set the stage so that\nthe conditions for Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan would be met.\n\nWe all know what Itachi's true motives were, and that he didn't actually want\nto take Sasuke's eyes, but let's look at this a different way. I'm going to\nwrite about the character Itachi was playing--in other words, the act he was\nputting on. This Itachi is power hungry and wants the Eternal Mangekyō\nSharingan for the sake of increasing his own power. But not only that, he\nneeds it because he's going blind from using his own Mangekyō. He's desperate\nto avoid losing his light. He tells Sasuke to kill his best friend and achieve\nMangekyō Sharingan, all for his (Itachi's) own sake. And he waits, even after\nSasuke gains a regular Sharingan. This is ostensibly because stealing a\nregular Sharingan is not good enough for Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.\n\nFast forward to the battle between Sasuke and Itachi. Itachi is really on a\ndire strait at this point. He can barely even see. In other words, he really\nneeds to take a chance. He needs to take that Sharingan, whether or not he\nstill gets that Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan in the end. He still hopes that he\nwill, of course, but he's out of time.\n\nNow, coming out of the act once more. We might consider that Itachi had\nplanned out this battle very carefully. There's evidence for this--afterwards,\nwe learn that he drew out the fight specifically so he could destroy the part\nof Orochimaru inhabiting Sasuke. Itachi also needs to make sure his secrets\nare buried with him after he dies. Thus, it wouldn't be too far-fetched to say\nthat Itachi had a script in mind. And he probably had the basics for this\nscript planned out for years. But perhaps there's one thing he didn't account\nfor. And that would be Sasuke not achieving Mangekyō Sharingan. So, what's he\nsupposed to do? His script largely requires himself to be trying to take\nSasuke's Sharingan. Does he just rewrite the script? There's no time to think\nof anything different. What would his new character motivation even be in that\ncase, if not to achieve Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan? What he had planned out\nwill simply have to suffice. Any contradictions can simply be explained as his\ndesperation for replenishing the light in his eyes.\n\nSo, the question that's being asked: Does one need to take a Mangekyō\nSharingan from a blood relative to achieve Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan or will\na regular Sharingan suffice? There are too few cases to know for absolute\ncertain, but there is some evidence to suggest that you do need to take a\nMangekyō Sharingan. The main evidence, of course, is simply that Itachi says\nso (I'd like to actually find where he says that and cite it if I can. The\nWiki at least seems to confirm this: [\"Their vision can be restored by\ntransplanting the Mangekyō Sharingan of an Uchiha with strong blood ties —\nideally a sibling — thus awakening the so-called Eternal Mangekyō\nSharingan\"](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Mangeky%C5%8D_Sharingan#Eternal_Mangeky.C5.8D_Sharingan)).\nSo Itachi contradicts himself in the fight with Sasuke? Doesn't matter,\nbecause in reality he had no intention of actually taking Sasuke's eyes to\nachieve Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. It was just an act he had to see through\nto the end.\n\nAs for the opposite conclusion, with only two cases, at best we can say that\nfrom an in-universe and out-of-universe perspective, it is simply uncertain\nwhether a regular Sharingan would work. But the only lore we have states that\nMangekyō Sharingan is required, so we should probably lean towards that\nconclusion.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThe exact nature of how Crocodile was selected to be a Warlord is not known.\n\nHowever, this is what Oda has to say about it\n\n> Similar to Luffy, back when he was young, Crocodile's name spread across the\n> seas with incredible momentum, but soon after he was **admitted into the\n> Shichibukai in his mid-20's** , he tried to fight Whitebeard and was\n> completely and utterly crushed by him.\n\nSource: [SBS Vol. 78, Ch.\n779](https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_78#Chapter_779,_Page_86),\nemphasis added\n\n* * *\n\nAside from that, the following is my explanation: Crocodile was one of the\nstrongest Warlords. He had a powerful Logia fruit with great control over its\nabilities. He could use its effects over large areas of land. His strength is\ncompared to Jinbei and Ace in the Impel Down Arc.\n\nBartholomew Kuma, Gecko Moriah, and Jinbei may or may not have Haki.\n\nCrocodile was one of the most important villains in the _One Piece_ universe.\nHe beat the protagonist not once but twice. Had an interesting power,\nintroduced us to the Shichibukai, and created a very vast organization almost\ntaking over a country single-handedly.\n\nAlso, I am not sure if Crocodile doesn't have Haki. He considered himself\nstrong enough to attack Whitebeard head-on. We simply don't see him having any\nneed for it to be used anytime he has been onscreen.\n\nMoving out of the universe, Oda had thought of Haki before the series started,\nbut hadn't used it before the Sky Island Arc (Mantra as Observation Haki). We\nhave at least one clear example of this. Shanks scaring off the sea king.\nMihawk may have used Observation Haki to beat the shit out of Zoro on Baratie\ntoo.\n\nThese may be the reasons that he had left them for later,\n\n * He was still fleshing out the idea about Haki. The three colors, their interactions, etc.\n * He saved them for the time skip region to show a clear way that our protagonists could have a major power-up. Ussop, Zoro, and Sanji after Haki are a thing to be feared as learnt by Doflamingo.\n\n",

Don't let Luffy beating him fool you, Crocodile was/is\nstill a veteran who's leagues beyond him in skill/experience like any other\nShichibukai (again, excluding Buggy lol). We simply place limits on\nCrocodile's capabilities because he lost to Luffy but the fact is he's never\nshown his full strength, especially against Luffy.\n\nHe was able to directly clash with Doflamingo (resulting in a massive\nshockwave), tank a blow from Jozu, the physically strongest fighter on a Yonko\ncrew, and recover immediately, he was able to party Mihawk's blade and emerge\nfrom a battle with him unscathed (whereas Luffy could only Dodge and run away\nfrom him), and he's one of the most skilled DF users with one of the deadliest\nDFs and knowledge (and highly likely mastery) of DF Awakenings. All these\nfeats are a cultivation of his physical abilities, skill, and battle\nexperience.\n\nThe problem is a fairly simpleminded segment or the OP fanbase population has\ngotten so caught up in the increased usage of Haki in the New World chapters\nthat they were misled to believe any and every Logia (minus the hyped\nAdmirals) is helpless against Haki, even a highly trained Logia like Crocodile\nwith techniques that can counter conventional Armament Haki defenses and\ndecades spent in Paradise/New World.\n\nDifferent people have different strengths.

"body": "\n\n## Power Scaling\n\nI can work with the premise that Crocodile is weak, however, I would first\nlike to point out how ridiculous the power scaling is in _One Piece_ , because\nno one seems to be acknowledging that it makes the entire world nonsensical.\nIn fact, any story that follows the Sorting Algorithm of Evil and involves the\nprotagonists training and powering up tends to become nonsensical, often\nbecause there are no guardrails to keep everyone else in the world from\ngetting as strong as the protagonists.\n\nI examined [Koby](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/68202/19307) in this\nquestion, but let's examine another case. That would be Rebecca and her\nfather. These two are pretty strong. They go toe-to-toe with Doflamingo's\nofficers, so I would guess that they could curb stomp most of the early bad\nguys in _One Piece_ , probably all the way up to Crocodile before they get\ninto trouble. Heck, give them some free haki, and they might even be able to\nbeat Crocodile and Eneru.\n\nWhat did Rebecca and her father do to get so strong though? Nothing but\nordinary training and fighting, as far as I could tell from their backstories.\nTheir power is scaled up simply because the story needs them to be on the same\nlevel as Doflamingo's subordinates. This begs the question of why everyone in\nthe East Blue doesn't just do some training and get this strong, and there's\nno real answer because this kind of power scaling is nonsense.\n\nSo, power scaling is nonsense. And it's a continuous process due to always\nneeding a bad guy tougher than the last (Sorting Algorithm of Evil). That's\nwhy we get cases like Crocodile in the early series who seems to be incredibly\nweak when compared to characters later in the series like Doflamingo and\nWhitebeard, etc.\n\n## Justifying Crocodile Being a Warlord Despite Being Weak is Easy\n\nWith all that being said, there's a very easy explanation for why Crocodile\nwould be a warlord even though he's so weak. He's stationed at the beginning\nof the Grand Line, and he's knocking out all the rookie pirates before they\nget too strong. As Rayleigh would say, he's nipping all those buds before they\nsprout. And since the power scaling works the way it does in this world,\nCrocodile is an invaluable warlord for stomping out threats early on.\n\nThere's proof of this claim, of course. Initially, the people of Alabasta view\nhim as a hero for protecting them from pirates. So he is indeed fulfilling his\nwarlord obligations to the World Government.\n\n",

It comes from\nthe May and June 2006 issues of Shonen Jump (the monthly version published in\nAmerica). Unfortunately, I didn't have those particular issues, so I couldn't\nconfirm the interview's credibility myself, but I did find it in several\nplaces on the internet. Here is the relevant excerpt:\n\n> Shonen Jump: We want to know more about the rest of the Naruto world---what\n> are the normal people like, what are the governments like, is this the whole\n> world? \n> \n> Masashi Kishimoto: The world outside of the ninja is pretty normal. People\n> make their living by running businesses, et cetera. Konohagakure, the\n> Village Hidden in the Leaves, is the military part of the country. Hinokuni,\n> or the Land of the Fire, provides Konohagakure a place to live, and in\n> return, the resident ninja protect the country as a whole, similar to a\n> military force. \n> \n> As for the government, the daimyo, or warlords, govern the lands and run\n> the political system and the bureaucracy. \n> \n> Each country has warlords at the top, and its military has its own leaders.\n> In America, you have a president at the top, but you also have the military\n> general at the top of the military. The states have more power than the\n> ninja, but since the daimyo don't cooperate with each other, I guess coup\n> d'etats happen rather frequently. The world is not yet solid [laughs], but\n> what you see in the story is not everything in the world of Naruto.\n\nLink to full interview: <http://narutohq.com/masashi-kishimoto-interview.php>\n\nSo, what do we know about the governments in the ninja world?\n\n## Government in the Land of Fire\n\nThe Land of Fire has the Fire Daimyo as its ruler. We see him along with the\nother great land's daimyo during the Fourth Great Ninja War. There are other\nlords besides the Daimyo, but I don't believe it is clear how power is\ndistributed among them. The Daimyo could hold most of the power or he could be\na figurehead. I expect one of these classifications of government may be\nappropriate: aristocracy, monarchy, or oligarchy.\n\n## Government in the Hidden Leaf Village\n\nThe government of the Hidden Leaf Village is made up of the Hokage, the\nvillage elders, an advisor, and the Jonin Council. The Jonin Council, elders,\nand Daimyo all have a part in choosing the Hokage. The Hokage holds most of\nthe decision making power, but his/her advisors and the elders will give\ncounsel. I would classify the Hidden Leaf Village's government as an\noligarchy.\n\n## Government in the Hidden Rain Village\n\nThe Hidden Rain Village's government (under Pain's rule) is a more interesting\nexample. Pain is the sole ruler of this village and he is revered as a deity.\nHe's never seen by the people of the village, and Konan is the one who gives\nmessages. Konan is also revered and is called an angel. This government is a\nmix of theocracy and autocracy.\n\n",

As\n> Yuri becomes mixed over his feelings about ice skating, among the other\n> troubles in his life, he goes to an ice rink and perfectly mimics an\n> advanced skating routine performed by the famous Russian figure skater\n> Victor Nikiforov. When footage of Yuri's performance is uploaded to the\n> internet, it catches the attention of Victor, who decides to become Yuri's\n> coach and train him alongside another skater, Yuri Plisetsky.\n\nFrom this, I can surmise:\n\n * The main demographic are fans of [male] ice skating\n * The main character is male\n * The story appears to be about this person's struggle to get back to prominence in a sport in which he thrived in\n\nNot sure I see any _yaoi_ or _shounen ai_ vibes that are _explicit_ in there,\nsince this is predominately an anime about figure skating with a cast of male\ncharacters. There may be some degree of fanservice to that direction, but you\nreally won't know much about the show until you watch the first couple of\nepisodes.\n\nThen again, if this genuinely makes you feel uncomfortable, share a moment of\nsympathy for every late-teen/early 20s woman who sees an all-girls anime and\n_plenty_ of _shojo ai_ overtones...\n\n",

The whole anime focuses on their same-sex romantic\nrelationship err I mean it focuses on their career and ends with them going\nall the way in their career :D\n\nNow seriously, it definitely has Yaoi as one of the main tags. As a man that\nloves Yuri (I mean the girl on girl thing, not the main character of the\nseries) Yaoi isn't my cup of tea but this one was actually very good. It\ndoesn't matter if you don't like Yaoi, it isn't 100% focused on it at all. If\nyou like sports anime just watch it. To give you an example. In Baby Steps we\nsee the relationship between Natsu and Eiji. it's more or less like that. They\nlike each other and the like but you can definitely watch the series even if\nyou hate romance as it isn't the only element in the series.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI'm not sure of how to best assess the _genre_ of _Yuri!!! on Ice_. There are\ntwo approaches people seem to take with genre labels:\n\n 1. _Yuri!!! on Ice_ wasn't listed as BL; [for some people](http://jigokuhana.tumblr.com/post/153371104144/no-yuri-on-ice-isnt-a-yaoi), that's enough for a claim that it, well, isn't BL.\n\n 2. On the other hand, genre labels sometimes get treated by others as some sort of vehicle for analysis, in which case the labels are not necessarily predetermined. (For example, I would describe _The Brothers Karamazov_ as a \"religious novel\" in the sense of being preoccupied with religious themes, more on account of my impressions of it and of Dostoevsky than on account of any knowledge of how the original publishers marketed it. [_Goodreads_](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4934.The_Brothers_Karamazov) lists it under the same.)\n\nI don't know where a happy medium between these two extremes would be, in the\ncase of the BL genre. However, part of the concern here seems to be about\nwhether there is any major same-sex romance in _Yuri!!! on Ice_ , and writing\nabout that is straightforward. (Mouse-over to view spoilers.)\n\n> The relationship between Victor and Yuri Katsuki is eventually pushed to a\n> point where it's difficult to not see it as romantic in nature, in light of\n> a combination of both plot points (e.g. the implication of a kiss in episode\n> 7) and various markers of physical intimacy that we're shown (e.g.\n> handholding in episode 10). However, the whole matter is approached a bit\n> indirectly. \n> \n> Going back to the first point, would this mean that _Yuri!!! on Ice_ is\n> then automatically BL (in the sense of having a romance between two men),\n> under approach (2)? The mere development of a romantic element doesn't have\n> to mean that a work is centred on romance though, so it really depends on\n> what one thinks is the focus of the story. (Alas, I can't give a personal\n> opinion on the role of romance in the series without first doing a rewatch.)\n\n",

[A\nJapanese blogger](http://102037.hatenablog.com/) tried to analyze the\nlanguage, though it ended only until episode 3.\n\nExamples:\n\n> * seda- : stop (verb)\n> * neruc- : kill (verb)\n> * quinacos: what (intransitive)\n> * quinacom: what (transitive)\n> * tu: you (2nd-person pronoun)\n> * hi/hii: he (3rd-person pronoun)\n>\n\n",

{
"body": "\n\n**NOTE: My answer is now complete. Thank you for your patience while I edit.**\n\nTo answer your question, there are a lot of context clues given through the\ndialogue in each episode. I will point these out then list my answer below.\n\n# **What we know**\n\n### Firstly\n\nWhen Beerus found out that Bulma built a time machine, he mentioned that time\ntravel or tampering with the future is highly forbidden even for gods, and\nthat he should destroy her right now for committing such a great offense.\n\nThis proves that gods have knowledge of time travel and have rules in-place\nfor protecting continuity of the timeline. Also, he never scolds Whis for\nusing time manipulation twice (once against Freeza and once to save Gowasu in\nthe present), also proving that angels do not follow the same protocol as gods\nand humans.\n\n### Secondly\n\nGowasu takes Zamasu to a distant planet to observe a human-like species in\ndevelopment. He scolds him for killing a human once they went a few thousand\nyears into the future because Zamasu committed an action that could have\nchanged how that entire species would develop.\n\nThis proves that gods are forbidden to travel unless certain circumstances\narise, but are also expressly forbidden from interacting with things in the\nfuture or past.\n\n### Lastly\n\nZamasu and Black both state in the battle with Trunks (the specific battle was\nthe one where he transformed into a hybrid of SSB and SS2) that it is because\nof Trunks's actions during the Cell/Android saga of jumping back and forth\nthrough time that really helped them come to the conclusion that humans need\nto be destroyed.\n\n## My Answer\n\nWith those 3 key pieces of evidence, it is very apparent that gods can time\ntravel and they can do so at will, but they MUST exercise a great deal of\ndiscretion and restraint when doing so and should only do it under certain\ncircumstances.\n\nGowasu could have looked into the future to predict his death, betrayal and\nall of that, but if he did he would have arbitrarily taken actions to protect\nhimself and changed the timeline which was forbidden. Now maybe he knew that\nand maybe he didn't.\n\nHowever, Gowasu has stated that the role of a Kai (God) is to observe. So I\nhighly doubt he would ever look into the future. His whole reason for even\nusing the time ring the one time that he did was to prove a point to his\nstudent.\n\nSo in short, yes, Gowasu could have gone ahead and prevented Black's\nexistence. But if he did, it would do 3 things:\n\n * Contradict his character\n * Ruin Black's existence\n * Make the current story arc ( _which I find very entertaining_ ) disappear entirely.\n\n",

First it was Naruto, he talked about how he likes ramen, dislikes\nwaiting for ramen to cook, and how he dreams to surpass all the previous\nHokages, and even become one himself. Then there was Sasuke. He said he had a\ndream, or to better put it, an ambition. The resurrection of his clan. And to\nkill a \"certain man\",\n\n> which was Itachi, his older brother. But eventually he did kill him, and\n> than he changed his goal... again.\n\nMy question is if restoring his clan is still his dream, or has he just\nforgotten all about it.\n\nHe only has one daughter with Sakura, and it seems that he is not planning on\nhaving anymore children since he is mostly out of the village on missions. So,\ndid he forget about that dream or just realized that restoring a whole clan\nwas almost impossible? Or did he just say that because he wanted revenge?\n\n",

In other\n> words, the goal is to reduce or simplify the movement of your mouth. There\n> are two primary ways in which this is accomplished, 1) By making things\n> shorter or, 2) By slurring the sounds together.\n\nThis would imply that the author felt that saying 「アオハルライド」is either harder or\nmore annoying (or both) to say in conversation than 「アオハライド」.\n\nYou can try it yourself: saying _ao haru raido_ forces you to pause between\n_haru_ and _raido_ , whereas one can say _ao ha raido_ in one go.\n\n**Update 2019:**\n\nThere's an explanation given in the first volume of the manga. Here's an\nexcerpt from the official translation:\n\n> Right away people sent letters and tweets, asking about the Japanese title\n> _Aoharaido_. So I'd like to be able to answer.\n>\n\n>> **Aoharaido** = youth + ride\n\n>\n> The Japanese kanji for \"youth\" can also be read as _aoharu_ , and I imagine\n> that the characters are on a ride through their youth, giving it all they\n> can. Compared to _aoharuraido_ , when you say it out loud, _aoharaido_ is\n> easier to say and more impactful, so that became the title of the series.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nShort Title : アオハライド Long and full title : “Ao —- Haru —- Ride”. These were\nprinted on the cover of the Manga . Factual, objective.\n\nShort one-word name is useful for quick reference. “アオハライド” is “Aoharaido” .\nSo that is what the publisher wants you to use as a short name. Why they\nremoved the ru(ル) can be debatable, unless mentioned by the author or\npublisher, the rationale remains subjective.\n\nBut in the end, “Aoharaido” is the finalized short word suggested for the\nshort name. The string of English alphabet “a.o.h.a.r.a.i.d.o” , strictly\nspeaking, has no English meaning. It is typical for Japanese to write a\nforeign (non-Japanese ) word in Katakana .“Aoharaido” ,hopefully, is adopted\nby fans to mean the manga “Ao Haru Ride” .\n\n“アオハライド” has no spaces . It was not printed as “アオ ハ ライド” , which has no\nrelevant meaning . So we should just stick to “aoharaido”\n\n“Ao Haru Ride” is the long title . It is meant to be a sensible sentence with\nsome meaning . So the alphanumeric English name they might wish you to use is\n“Ao Haru Ride” . If you say it out in Japanese, it would be “あおはるライド” .\n\n“Ride” is an English word. (As in the “ride” in “riding a horse”) . So the use\nof katakana would be the normal and expected. あお はる ,write them individually\nin kanji is 青春 。”青春” is “せいしゅん” 、meaning youth !\n\nSo “Ao Haru Ride” , is “青 春 ライド” or ... “Youth Ride”. Very appropriate for a\nyouthful manga.\n\n",

On the internet you never know...\"\n\nThis helps Hikaru to understand that Sai can play on the internet without\ngiving away his true identity. Because \"Zelda\" is a nickname anybody can\nchoose. It doesn't give away anything on your identity. You could be a boy or\na girl, a teenager or an adult, ...\n\nI believe the nickname \"Zelda\" was chosen (by the scenarist) because, like you\nsaid, anybody knows about \"the legend of Zelda\" reference even if you didn't\nplay the videogame. Having a person saying \"His nickname is 'Zelda', he must\nbe a kid\" is something every reader will understand.\n\nFurthermore, Waya knows how to handle a computer and we can safely assume he\nplays videogames. Akira and Hikaru are all about go, but Waya is more a\n\"normal\" or \"typical\" teenager. Even if he is an insei, he has other interests\nthan go.\n\n",
