"body": "\n\nIn the first episode of _Love Live! School Idol Project_ season 2, the girls\nwent to what I assume is an arcade where the front sign says Gamers. When\nwatching the ED for episode 2, I noticed this same logo appear in the credits\n(this is the localized version released by NISA).\n\nI am wondering who/what is Gamers and what is their connection to the _Love\nLive_ series? Is it just a [product\nplacement](https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/4257/1587) deal with the anime or\nhas it got something to do with the real life idol group?\n\n",

According to\n[NineColors.com (Japanese)](http://nine-colors.com/), a site that lists real-\nlife places used in the anime:\n\n * [Season 1, Episode 3](http://nine-colors.com/003_anim1/1_03_anim/) (different font/logo)\n\n \n\n * [Season 1, Episode 6](http://nine-colors.com/003_anim1/1_06_anim/)\n * [Season 1, Episode 9](http://nine-colors.com/003_anim1/1_09_anim/) (the first episode with proper font/logo)\n\n \n\n * [Season 1, Episode 13](http://nine-colors.com/003_anim1/1_13_anim/)\n * [Season 2, Episode 1](http://nine-colors.com/004_anim2/2_01_anim/)\n * [Season 2, Episode 3](http://nine-colors.com/004_anim2/2_03_anim/)\n * [Season 2, Episode 13](http://nine-colors.com/004_anim2/2_13_anim/)\n\nWhen comparing to other shops, only Gamers have its original name shown with\nproper logo while others were changed. This gives a big hint that it's a\nproduct placement deal.\n\nHowever, Gamers itself has done some tie-ups/collaborations with _Love Live!_\nseries itself. Some examples are bonus merchandise for _Love Live!_ products\n(anime Blu-Ray, CD singles).\n\nAccording to [オタクの戯言's HatenaBlog (Japanese)](http://aniota-\nalvarado.hatenablog.com/entry/2016/10/03/081634), there's also a special booth\nfor \"μ's Final Love Live!\", displaying the outfit used on \"SUNNY DAY SONG\"\nperformance and other things like visitors' comment, merchandises, all\nreleased singles and albums, and posters.\n\n \n\nMoving to **_Love Live! Sunshine!!_** , there's Gamers Museum, displaying a\ncomment board (separated into text only/with picture), Aquors scene in the\nanime, introduction to their songs, and casts' signature.\n\n \n\nLast but not least are _Love Live! Sunshine!!_ special pages on [Gamers\n(Japanese)](https://www.gamers.co.jp/special/55597/) and [Gamers onlineshop\n(Japanese)](https://www.gamers-\nonlineshop.jp/corner/cc/lovelive_sunshine/cd/96/) website.\n\n",

Frankly, I kind of sympathized with him at the ending\nof the first season because he didn't understand why they would go against him\neven after his explanation.\n\n> \"Why... Why would the brats born from me and Yuri destroy our dream?\"\n\nSatan is _obsessed_. He's obsessively trying to make Yuri's dream come true.\nYuri is the only one who has shown him pure, altruistic love, and he's trying\nto honor her memory in his own way. He's practically on the brink of madness\ntrying to make her dream happen - if his sons happen to stand in the way, he's\nready to give them up because he cares a heck ton more about Yuri than them.\nRemember: they never had any interaction before their clash in the last few\nepisodes.\n\nPutting that aside, I think no, Satan does not understand Yuri's dream of\npeace. Like what Mindwin pointed out, Satan interpreted the idea of co-\nexistence between the entities in a completely different way.\n\nWe have to remember that humans are the ones who almost killed Yuri - Satan\nwas driven by desperation as he possessed one vessel after another in order to\nsave Yuri.\n\n> \"... Demons and humans can understand each other.\"\n\nThat's honestly what Yuri's dream is all about. But that's impossible if Satan\nis not able to exist in Assiah to understand humans (if he tries to). There's\na lack of understanding on Satan's part: from his perspective, humans are\nfilled with animosity towards demons - true peace can only be achieved when\nthere is only one ruler. His idea of merging the two worlds is to _force_ the\nhumans in Assiah to submit to him because he doesn't see any other feasible\nway to do it. In his attempt to achieve his own definition of peace, he thinks\nhe is trying to fulfill what Yuri wished.\n\nObviously, if Yuri is still alive, this tragedy wouldn't have occurred.\nBecause of all the love she has given Satan, she actually holds a significant\namount of influence over his thoughts and decisions. If she knows that Satan\nintends for the violent, brutal approach, she'd have stopped him, in one way\nor another.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nWho generally owns the intellectual property (IP) rights to manga characters\nand stories?\n\nIn the USA, comic books are generally produced by a team -- writer, artist,\ninker, colorist, letterer, editor, and maybe even plotter. Sometimes one or\nmore of these folks can sometimes even get replaced mid-issue. The characters\nare typically part of a shared universe involving multiple, interacting\ncharacters. It makes sense that Marvel and DC, the largest publishers would\nown the IP.\n\nIt also makes sense that some of the artistic folks would want full ownership\nand control over their work, and independent publishers were formed allowing\nthis. The leading publishers partially adapted to this desire, and sometimes\ngrant limited exclusivity to the creator of a character. Ownership was still\nwith the publisher, but only the creator could make decisions concerning their\ncharacter, so long as they remained with the publisher.\n\nFrom what I understand, manga is vastly different. One person handles writing,\nart, and lettering. There is no colorist, and the publisher's editor generally\nsuggests things, not mandates them. Characters from different manga seldom\ninteract. With the one-person focus, it would make sense to me that the\nmangaka would hold IP rights. Is this generally the case?\n\nAnime is broader, involving many folks for one series. Are they simply\nlicensed to tell the mangaka's (or some other person's) story? (Maybe this is\nsimilar to how Fox is licensed to make X-Men movies, even though the X-Men\nthemselves belong to Marvel.) I know some anime is a new work not based on a\nmanga or light novel. In those cases, the studio **is** the creator, and it is\nlikely they own the IP as well.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n> summary (final paragraph): \n> **Like the five previous examples, the mangaka (or writer) shares the\n> copyright. Since this occurred in six of the five works I looked up, I'll\n> assume it to be the \"general rule\" my question asked for.** If someone knows\n> different, please let us know!\n\n# Manga\n\n**Duh!** \\-- It just occurred to me my Crunchyroll subscription includes\naccess to manga. So I went there to look for the copyright notices. At first I\ndidn't find any. My expectation was each chapter would have one, so I was\nscanning thru the volumes of _Sweetness and Lightning_ and couldn't find such\na thing. Not at chapter start or end, or even volume start or end. I tried a\ncouple other manga, and I could not find notices for them either. Finally a\ntree appeared out of the forest --- near the bottom right of the stupid start\npage for each series. (Anyone can see these without a subscription. Non-\nsubscribers won't be able to view any actual pages, though.)\n\nThere appears to be no standard template, so I chose three at random, listed\nby order of complexity. Since the info does not appear to come from the manga\nissues themselves, what you see is my transcription of Crunchyroll's\ntranslation. The original Japanese may include different and/or standardized\nnotices.\n\n[ReLIFE](http://www.crunchyroll.com/comics/manga/relife/volumes)\n\n[code]\n\n Publisher: Comico\n First Published:\n Author: Yayoiso\n Artist: Yayoiso\n Copyright: © Yayoiso / comico\n Translator: Andrew Cunningham\n Editor: Emily Sorensen\n Letterer: Cheryl Alvarez\n \n[/code]\n\nBoth the author and publisher share copyright. I'm guessing the **letterer** s\nare for the English version, and the author did the original Japanese\nlettering.\n\n[Sweetness & Lightning](http://www.crunchyroll.com/comics/manga/sweetness-and-\nlightning/volumes)\n\n[code]\n\n Publisher: Kodansha\n First Published: \n Author: Gido Amagakure\n Artist: \n Copyright: Based on the manga \"Amaama to Inazuma\" by Gido Amagakure\n originally serialized in the monthly good! Afternoon magazine published by KODANSHA LTD.\n Sweetness and Lightning copyright © Gido Amagakure／KODANSHA LTD.\n English translation copyright © Gido Amagakure／KODANSHA LTD.\n All rights reserved.\n \n[/code]\n\nOnce again, a shared copyright between author and publisher. They also take\nownership of the English translation. Whether it was a staff person at\nKodansha or Gido is fluent in English, I do not know.\n\n[Fairy Tail](http://www.crunchyroll.com/comics/manga/fairy-tail/volumes)\n\n[code]\n\n Publisher: Kodansha\n First Published: 2005\n Author: Hiro Mashima\n Artist: Hiro Mashima\n Copyright: Based on the manga \"FAIRY TAIL\" by Hiro Mashima\n originally serialized in the weekly Shonen Magazine published by KODANSHA LTD.\n FAIRY TAIL copyright © Hiro Mashima／KODANSHA LTD.\n English translation copyright © Hiro Mashima／KODANSHA LTD.\n All rights reserved.\n Translator: William Flanagan\n Editor: Erin Subramanian\n Letterer: AndWorld Design\n \n[/code]\n\nThese three may indicate a shared copyright is the norm. Same publisher as\nS&L, but now the translator is given credit by name.\n\n# Anime\n\nI tried to check for copyright on several anime series. The few I looked at\ndid not bother translating the opening or closing credits, so if copyright\ninfo was there, I could not read it. I also checked their English dub of\n_Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club_ , but the dub did not translate the credits\neither. Funimation's site appears to be in transition right now, and I cannot\naccess anything there. If no one else adds animation info, I'll update this\nlater with any anime info I find.\n\n/edit add 5 hours later\n\nFunimation is back up with its site revamp operational. They have also started\nairing 2003's [Wolf's Rain](https://www.funimation.com/shows/wolfs-rain/), and\nI remembered noticing that dubs of older series tend to translate the credits.\nSure enough, it does. It's notice is a one-liner, and reads:\n\n[code]\n\n © BONES • KEIKO NOBUMOTO/BV Licensed by Funimation® Productions, Ltd. All Rights Reserved.\n \n[/code]\n\nThe copyright is once again shared, this time between the studio and writer.\nHowever, _Wolf's Rain_ appears to be a special case, in that the manga and\nanime were being released simultaneous, with Kodansha publishing the manga. It\nwould be interesting to know if the manga copyright lists Kodansha in place of\nBones, in addition to it, or not at all.\n\n(... searched and found the manga copyright online). The manga copyright does\nnot even include Kodansha. The notice is listed at the end of the last volume\n(11) and reads:\n\n[code]\n\n © 2004 TOSHITSUGU IIDA and BONES • KEIKO NOBUMOTO/BV\n \n[/code]\n\nSo the manga copyright added the illustrator's name, even listing him first.\nIn context, now, it appears Keiko was probably an employee or contractee of\nBones. I don't know what the \"/BV\" after his name means. I'm guessing Bones\nhired Iida to be the manga illustrator, and part of the deal was that he be\ngiven co-owner status of it.\n\nThe page containing the copyright gives lots of credits, mostly for the anime\nstaff. Viz Media was the English license holder at the time, and their\npresence is prominent on the page as well. Another thing I notice is that the\nJapanese copyrights don't seem to concern themselves with listing a year or\nyear range. But this page was clearly for an English-speaking audience, and\nthe copyright here is more like I expect to see -- \"© 2004\". (Watching the\nfirst few minutes of the anime, it was instantly clear that Viz chose an\nexcellent voice actor cast! The first four episodes are currently up.)\n\nSince _Wolf's Rain_ is a special case as a product of an anime studio first\nand manga second (well, co-released), I looked up another old series on\nFunimation, [Mushi-Shi](https://www.funimation.com/shows/mushi-shi/). I also\nverified that the manga came first. It ran from 1999-2008, and the original 26\nepisodes of the anime were broadcast in 2005 and 2006. The copyright reads:\n\n[code]\n\n ©Yuki Urushibara / KODANSHA - MUSHI-SHI Partnership.\n Licensed by Kodansha through Funimation® Productions, Ltd.\n All Rights Reserved.\n \n[/code]\n\nI find this case interesting in that Artland, the anime studio, was not called\nout specifically. It is likely part of the entity called \"Mushi-Shi\nPartnership\".\n\n**Like the five previous examples, the mangaka (or writer) shares the\ncopyright. Since this occurred in six of the five works I looked up, I'll\nassume it to be the \"general rule\" my question asked for.** If someone knows\ndifferent, please let us know!\n\n",

Usually one company contributed the most, and it's usually a\nTelevision station, as they also in-turn in the most ad-revenue from the\nanime. That company is usually the contact for licensing information and is\nusually listed as the copyright holder in publications.\n\nThey do this chiefly to minimize risk, in case a project or an anime loses\nmoney. Additionally, it makes planning easier - say a company makes figurines\nfor anime, if that company is on this committee and contributed money, it's\nobvious that they're going to be the company who wants the rights to make\nmerchandise.\n\nWhen it comes to manga, most manga artists work for a particular publisher,\nwho pays their salary. If they're receiving a salary during that time, the\nwork is owned by the publisher, however the manga-ka typically also retains a\nlot of say in what happens with the manga.

Most of them\n(at least most of those around me) also play computer games about fighting.\nSword Art Online clearly fits into the fighting genre of computer games. I\ndidn't make a survey, but in any game about fencing it is certainly possible\nto find someone who likes do the same things in real life.\n\nAs I recall, in the world of SAO combos are quick, but very predictable,\nespecially the strong ones, and their speed is not above human limits.\n\nAs I assume, if one real-life swordsman would get his hands (or his mind) on\nSAO, he would wreck everyone. One can move his weapon without combos, losing\nsome speed, but getting a huge advantage of being able to use feints. Plus he\nwould be able to stop his attacks to block enemy's blow, etc.\n\nYes, he would probably be weaker at the beginning due to not knowing the\nanimations yet and most of combos being very short. Plus, he would probably\nneed to get used to the pace of SAO, which may differ from real-life. But at\nhigher levels he could both identify a combo by it's first \"frames\", plus\nquickly react. It would also be nearly impossible to hit him unless he doesn't\nexpect an attack.\n\nOne could claim that he would lose muscle memory -- he wouldn't, since this\nprocess is more mental rather then some change applied to muscles.\n\n**Why did this not happen in the novel, why was it dominated by a bunch of\nMary Sue-esque characters?

In novels, it is stressed multiple times that\nSAO's physics simulation is actually quite crappy. For example, player cannot\njust \"put on\" a coat or \"grab\" a weapon and liquids are pretty much an eye-\ncandy with minimal physics interactions. I would argue same system would apply\nto sword fights. SAO sword fights would not be as flashy with people almost\nflying around. It would be mostly two guys standing still against each other\nand spamming sword skills and letting those do all the movements. And just\nhitting someone with sword is not that great if sword skill is not involved.\nSo player's real-world sword experience would be practically useless in this\nscenario.\n\n",

In that case the dynamic needed to win is made to\ndefeat those monsters, who just are not similar to humans fighting with\nswords.\n\nSecond, the battles and their outcome are directly influenced by the skills\nearned by players and the judgment on when to use them, and also the player's\nlevel, because this grants access to superior skills and weapons, and grants\nmore hits points. In other words, to win a fight it's important to make sure\nyour level is adequate and you must manage the fight and resources (hits\npoints and skills) wisely, while having studied your opponent.\n\nIn conclusion, I think having real world fencing skills wouldn't be of\nsignificant importance in SAO fights, technically. But, a real life fencer who\nlikes fencing or even loves it will certainly love SAO experience because of\nthe new environment and fantasy-like adventure he's embarking upon while using\na sword like weapon, it's just like someone who loves to drive cars and plays\na racing game, I know because I love to drive and I've always loved playing\nracing games and driving simulators. So the real life fencer will be somewhat\nmore into the game than others, maybe this factor will push him to dive in the\ngame more than others and in the end he'll be slightly more advanced than\nordinary players.\n\n",

He\nregenerated faster than they could damage him.\n\nThat's a huge gap in power that can not be bridged through any real life\nswordsmanship skill.\n\nWhen the game started, the former beta testers went for the easiest, most\nlucrative quests, snapping up quickly the best items and the most experience\nproducing quests available. It gave them a huge head start while at the same\ntime denying those same quests to other players.\n\nA really good swordsman who wasn't part of the beta test would have been left\nbehind at the start trying to figure out how to do the most basic things like\nloading up his strikes, using the menus, finding quests, etc.\n\nWhile actual sword skills could be an advantage, it would be nowhere near as\nsignificant as having the experience levels and the right items, and catching\nup with the players who cleaned out all the easy early quests and who kept\nfighting in the front lines would be almost impossible.\n\nAnd catching up with Kirito would have been simply out of question, given how\nmuch of a head start he managed and the fact that he kept leading the way.\n\nAnother issue is that in-game swordsplay is obviously different enough from\nreal world swordsplay that it requires a significant amount of adaptation.\nTake for instance Kirito's infatuation with large, heavy swords.\n\nCompletely impractical in the real world. In the real world, you would be very\nhard pressed to find a longsword weighting more than 4 lb, and forget about\ncutting through one sword with another.\n\nIn game however, strength and other physical attributes are not as limited as\nthey are in the real world, as can be seen by all the in game leaping around\nand the way concrete walls and floors tend to break upon impact with player\nbodies.\n\nThere are so many differences that real life swordplay experience is largely\nirrelevant, and might in fact get one killed because the expectation of what\nis and isn't possible are massively different.\n\nFinally, Kirito himself had some real life kendo experience. He might very\nwell have been one of the best real life fencers in the system.\n\nSimilarly, there is nothing to indicate that the top players weren't also good\nat real life swordplay, so even the premise of your question can not be\nverified:\n\n**How do you know that SAO was not in fact dominated by good real life\nfencers?**\n\n",

I\ndon't remember the page numbers.\n\nWhen Princess Kushana lands her gunship in the Valley of the Wind, Nausicaa\nrushes in and challenges one of the soldiers to a duel (essentially). After\nthe situation is defused by Master Yupa, Kushana asks if she can see\nNausicaa's sword. Nausicaa hands over her sword, Kushana admires it for a\nmoment and then cuts it to pieces with her own sword. There doesn't seem to be\nmuch of a reaction from Nausicaa or her people when this happens and the fact\nthat Kushana destroyed the sword is never mentioned again.\n\nWhat I don't understand is, why is the act of Kushana breaking the sword not\nmore significant? Apparently the sword was made of ohmu shell, which is\nsupposed to be tougher than the ceramic blades used by most soldiers\n(evidenced when Nausicaa chips her ceramic blade on an ohmu shell in one of\nthe first scenes of the book). Furthermore, ohmu shell swords must be\nincredibly rare, considering that Kushana (who is the _princess of a large\nempire_ ) would be carrying an \"inferior\" ceramic blade. Wouldn't that sword\nbe like a family heirloom or something?\n\nThe only explanation that I can think of is that the scene is purely intended\nto set up what a badass Kushana is and that Nausicaa is not upset because it\nis a small price to pay to get the Torumekian forces to leave peacefully.\n\nNote: I have only read the first volume, which ends shortly after Asbel gets\nshot down by Kushana's gunship. I don't care about spoilers if you need them\nin your answers, so fire away. I have not watched the anime either.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nFirst off, I think your instinct is generally correct: This scene is meant to\nestablish that Kushana is a very physically strong character with excellent\nmartial skills. This becomes more relevant later, especially when more is\nrevealed about Kushana's physical body.\n\nThere's also truth in @kumagoro's answer. Breaking the sword is a partially\nsymbolic act, of breaking the will of the conquered.\n\nThat said, I don't agree that \"There doesn't seem to be much of a reaction\nfrom Nausicaä\" to the sword's destruction. Kushana drops the sword in one\npanel and breaks it in another; the panel between the two shows Nausicaä's\nreaction, which does indeed look like shock to me. We don't particularly get\nto see the reactions of other Valley natives, but Nausicaä's seems appropriate\nto me.\n\nI think we can combine that reaction with the above concepts to formulate the\nfollowing **hypothesis** :\n\nNausicaä attacks Kushana's soldiers, and Uncle Mito defuses the situation by\nforcing both sides to stop.\n\nKushana appears and is faced with a delicate situation. On the one hand,\n_someone just killed her own soldiers_ , and even though that's paused for the\nmoment, the rest of her soldiers aren't necessarily going to be satisfied if\nKushana just brushes it off with no consequences. Justice needs to be seen to\nbe done. On the other, she doesn't want her soldiers slaughtering everyone in\nthe Valley; she needs their manpower to handle the God Warrior egg.\n\nSo, Kushana destroys the weapon used to kill her soldiers. This demonstrates\nher role power -- she can destroy things in the Valley at will and nobody in\nthe Valley can stop her -- as well as her physical power to break such a\nstrong blade. It's an act of dominance.\n\nNausicaä is dismayed, but to the regular people of the Valley, that sword is a\ntool used by royals more than a historically or culturally significant\nartifact, as far as it seems to me. Yes, it's a rare object, but the people of\nthe Valley are going through a pretty darned traumatic day; Kushana destroying\na royal sword is a relatively minor incident.\n\nAll that said, this scene also involves Nausicaä demonstrating a psychokinetic\npower that never shows up again, either, so Hayao Miyazaki may have just been\nmaking stuff up and seeing what stuck. :-)\n\n",

The best Kanji representation is\n生【なま】無味【むみ】, which means \"raw tasteless\".\n\n_Namamome_ can be represented by 生【なま】揉め【もめ】, which means \"bare (breast)\ngrope\".\n\n_Namamamamo_ is... well, that word also doesn't exist in Japanese, and also\nmeaningless. Even Araragi doesn't understand why Mayoi says that it's lewd.\n\n* * *\n\n1The original tongue twister is [生【なま】麦【むぎ】生【なま】米【ごめ】生【なま】卵【たまご】 ( _Namamugi\nnamagome namatamago_ )](http://www.punipunijapan.com/hayakuchi-kotoba-\nnamamugi/), which means \"raw wheat, raw rice, raw egg\". The one that Mayoi\nsays is when all the consonants are changed to \" _m_ \" (except the \" _n_ \" in\n\" _nama_ \"). This is to simulate the pronunciation by very young child (e.g.\ntoddler) when their ability to speak is not well-developed yet.\n\n",

This can further be supported,\nif you recall, the scene in Dragon Ball GT when Baby had taken over Goten. He\ninitially thought that Chi-Chi was the strongest on Earth by looking into\nGoten's memories and emotions. He later realised that Chi-Chi wasn't the\nstrongest but Goten felt that way towards her because she was his mother and\nhe respected her and was afraid of her when she became angry. By this we can\nsafely assume that Human or Super Saiyan you don't want to be around - and\nespecailly be the cause of Chi-Chi's anger.

She later discovers her birth name, Princess Serenity [moon princess aka Kaguya]\n\n * **Journey of the West** : Dragon ball/DBZ is highly influenced by \"Journey of the West\" and the story of the monkey god Sun Wukong. \n\n * **\"The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya\"** : Naruto also takes from a famous story \"The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya\" where Jiraiya can turn into a toad, Orochimaru a snake, and Tsunade a slug. \n\n",

This resulted in him starting to train again with Picolo to\nregain the powers he once had, including his mystic form.\n\nGohan decided in the past to focus more on his studies rather than being a\nmartial artist. This made him become rusty... very rusty, rusty enough to\nbarely transform into a super saiyan. His mystic form is beyond that of a\nsuper saiyan. I am not sure how strong it actually is, but it is definitely\nmore powerful than his previous super saiyan forms. It might be as good as\nssj3, but that is just my personal speculation.\n\nSince he focused so much on his studies he was able to achieve a lot things as\nfor getting job offers and such (as seen in previous episodes). He completely\nneglected his trainings due to this and became very rusty as Picolo mentioned\na couple of times throughout dbs.\n\nI don't recall him turning into his mystic form though during the Battle of\nthe Gods.\n\nBut to get back on your question, according to the timeline of dragonball it\nhad been 5 years between Buu saga and DBS. During Buu saga he wasn't training\nmuch anymore and in those 5 years he didn't train at all (mainly due to Chichi\nnot wanting him to turn out like his father). The effect of this probably\nlowered his powerlevel significantly which made him for him almost impossible\nto turn into ssj without training again.\n\n",

As\ndiscussed by me [How much time has passed between the final fight and Sasuke\nShinden (anime)?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/37849/how-much-\ntime-has-passed-between-the-final-fight-and-sasuke-shinden-anime/37852#37852);\nthere is an official timelines of all the visual novels. This can be found on\nwikia and on Reddit: [A guide to the Naruto Light Novels, Naruto Gaiden, and\nThe Blank\nPeriod](https://www.reddit.com/r/Naruto/comments/33zfy3/a_guide_to_the_naruto_light_novels_naruto_gaiden/)\n\nThere have been a number of attempts at a coherent fanon timeline, but I\nhaven't found anything that is perfectly accurate or universally accepted. For\nExample: I used to refer to\n[this](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/User:ShounenSuki/Timeline) for all the\nevents in Naruto world. **Disclaimer: Please give credit to the wikia user\nShounenSuki for compiling this.** However, this has been inactive for a while\nand only covers event before the start of the Great Ninja War. It also\nmentions almost 2 year gap between Shisui's death and Clan Massacre.\n\nThe main reason for this is the _filler_ anime episodes that put Itachi's age\nat thirteen. [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/I3NDN.png)\n\nThe Manga puts Itachi's age at 11 when he joined Anbu. 6 months after Itachi\njoined Anbu corps he _killed_ Shisui. We also know some time passed after\nShisui's death because of the following events.\n\n * Sasuke thinking about Itachi's outburst when accused of Shisui's death\n * He also mastered and showcased his Fire Style Jutsu to his father\n * Coup d'etat is a complex process and lot of planning would have gone on this, _from both sides_\n * We also know Itachi found Tobi, tracked him down and trained with him before eliminating his clan.\n\nThus 12-18 months is a good estimate to consider the amount of time passed\nbetween Shisui's death and Uchiha clan massacre.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI will try and answer by spoiling as little as possible.\n\nI have read all manga chapters (including the newest one, 91).\n\n> We have two types of Titans (so far): shifters, and non-shifters. A shifter\n> is a Titan whose human can voluntarily transform into and out of the Titan\n> shape. As far as we know, shifters are only the 9 original Titans. We also\n> know that there is a certain serum that can transform a human into a\n> mindless Titan. This serum was injected to Ymir (the person) and like all\n> other mindless Titans, she wandered around until she accidentally ate a\n> human who was a Titan shifter (Reiner's and Bertlod's friend). As such Ymir\n> transformed into a human, obtaining the power of the so-called \"Dancing\n> Titan\".\n\nWhich brings me to the next spoiler (approximately manga chapter 88 and\nabove):\n\n> Only \"The people of Ymir\"\n> ([Eldians](http://attackontitan.wikia.com/wiki/Eldia), including Eren and\n> the people inside the walls) can be transformed into Titans. Furthermore,\n> the people inside the walls live on an island called Paradis Island,\n> although far from the shore. Knowing that, the Marley government gathers\n> Eldians on top of a wall next to the shore (but far from the walls), injects\n> them with the serum and throws them on the ground. These Titans wander\n> around eventually finding the walls and creating problems for the people of\n> the walls. (A nice counter strategy from Marley, using a weapon they cannot\n> control). The plot thickens when Marley has managed to convince Eldians to\n> fight for them. These Eldians, such as Reiner, Bertold, Annie, Zeke, each\n> hold one of the 9 original Titans power, and can easily transform from Titan\n> to human to Titan again.\n\n**To answer your question**\n\n_1) If you are talking about Titan shifters_\n\nThen you cannot kill a Titan without killing the human inside. The methods\nused by the Survey Corps are pretty much cutting off their nape. If you cut\nthe nape of a Titan-shifter, then you are left with the human body of that\nTitan-shifter. If you consume the spinal cord fluid of this human body, you\nwill obtain his/her Titan-shifting power.\n\n_2) If you are talking about mindless Titans_\n\nThen if you cut off the nape, there is no trace left of the human who was\nturned into this Titan. As far as it is revealed, we cannot say if the person\nevaporated, died, or something else. It is assumed that the person inside a\nmindless Titan dies, when the nape of the Titan is cut off. Hange speculated\nthat the spinal cord and the central nervous system of a mindless Titan\nfunctions separately from the body. Maybe that means that the human body\nsimply turns into a mindless Titan, thus leaving no human body inside of such\na Titan.\n\n_A list of the 9 original Titans\nis[here](http://attackontitan.wikia.com/wiki/Titan_shifter)_\n\n",

"body": "\n\nShort answer: I would suggest you resume reading at Chapter 42 of the\nWebcomic, which is just after the conclusion of the Boros arc, because while\nthe next several chapters will be familiar from the manga the deviations start\nto mount up pretty quickly.\n\n* * *\n\nAs YLombardi indicates, this of course heavily depends on what currently\nconstitutes the \"latest release\". It is also important to note that the manga\nstarts deviating pretty heavily from the webcomic, though currently not in\nways that fundamentally alters canon (though it's getting close). Most of the\nchanges involve certain fights being extended and given extra details, as well\nas giving the non-essential heroes some extra exposition and screen time in\nother fights. The most recent manga release (as of my typing this) is\nconcerned with a tournament that never occurs in the webcomic, though this\ntournament is just part of introducing the two major atagonist powers for the\nnext arc; both such powers and said arc are part of the webcomic.\n\nI will try now to point out when certain major arcs begin/end for the\nwebcomic, up to the current status of the manga (said tournament storyline is\nclosing up). Anyone completely unfamiliar with the series will, of course,\nfind lots of spoilers in the subsequent.\n\n * First chapters, introducing Saitama and his fights against Vaccine Man and the brothers, his \"origin story\" fight against the crab man, his dream, etc. are essentially identical.\n * Saitama vs. Ordinary Mosquito, and introduction of Genos: [Webcomic Chapters 5-6](http://galaxyheavyblow.web.fc2.com/fc2-imageviewer/?aid=1&iid=6). Essentially identical between versions.\n * House of Evolution: [Webcomic Chapters 7-11](http://galaxyheavyblow.web.fc2.com/fc2-imageviewer/?aid=1&iid=8). Essentially identical between versions.\n * Paradise baldies and introduction of Sonic and Licenseless Rider (Mumen Rider): [Webcomic Chapters 12-15](http://galaxyheavyblow.web.fc2.com/fc2-imageviewer/?aid=1&iid=13). Essentially identical between versions.\n * Joining the Heroes Association, introduction of Sneck: [Webcomic Chapters 15-16](http://galaxyheavyblow.web.fc2.com/fc2-imageviewer/?aid=1&iid=16). Essentially identical, but the manga/anime shows a few more tests Saitama does and gives us a better idea of where the tests are held.\n * Saitama vs. Genos: [Webcomic Chapter 17](http://galaxyheavyblow.web.fc2.com/fc2-imageviewer/?aid=1&iid=18). Essentially identical between versions. This is one of the first cases where Murata, the manga artist, has a lot of fun with just plain drawing. An entire chapter of the manga is basically spent with Murata creating an intimately drawn flip-book for this fight. The anime basically could have just scanned in the pages for the Murata version of this chapter and called it a scene. The details of the fight are the same, other than that the landscape is not shown as obliterated by Saitama's partial punch in the webcomic (nor is any of the damage that Genos did shown).\n * Genos moves in, second encounter with Sonic, Tank Top Tiger introduced: [Webcomic Chapters 18-19](http://galaxyheavyblow.web.fc2.com/fc2-imageviewer/?aid=1&iid=19).\n * Saitama vs. Meteor; Silver Fang, Metal Knight, Tank Top Black Hole introduced: [Webcomic Chapters 20-23](http://galaxyheavyblow.web.fc2.com/fc2-imageviewer/?aid=1&iid=21). Essentially identical between versions, with a few minor differences, mostly concerned with Genos having an upgrade available. Murata has fun in the manga again, basically animating (in color) Metal Knight's arrival. The anime again could have pretty much just scanned in that chapter and called it a scene.\n * **Sea King arc** : [Webcomic Chapters 24-31](http://galaxyheavyblow.web.fc2.com/fc2-imageviewer/?aid=1&iid=25). Essentially identical between versions. Same heroes are introduced, including Puri-Puri Prisoner and Handsomely Masked Sweet Mask (Amai Mask), etc.\n * **Boros arc** : [Webcomic Chapters 32-41](http://galaxyheavyblow.web.fc2.com/fc2-imageviewer/?aid=1&iid=32). Nominal differences between versions. Saitama encounters Boros slightly earlier in the Webcomic, meeting him at the same time as Geryuganshoop. Geryuganshoop does not display a gravity power in the webcomic, and only ever use telekinesis to throw rocks and rubble. The final fight between Boros and Saitama is much longer in the manga/anime than in the webcomic. Saitama is not knocked to the moon in the webcomic at all.\n\nThat's as far as the anime gets, but the manga is at the start of the Garou\narc. From this point on the manga starts to diverge fairly noticeably. For the\nmost part this does not change anything in the canon, but as previously\nmentioned the manga gets this arc started with a martial arts tournament which\ndoes not exist in the webcomic. As such there are a lot of new characters and\nenemies in the manga, but so far none of them look to be important beyond\nsetting things up (but we have to wait and see).\n\n* * *\n\n## Spoilers beyond this point for those who have watched the anime but have\nnot read the manga (or webcomic).\n\n * **King vs. Saitama** : [Webcomic Chapters 42-44](http://galaxyheavyblow.web.fc2.com/fc2-imageviewer/?aid=1&iid=43)\n * **Garou Appears** : [Webcomic Chapter 45](http://galaxyheavyblow.web.fc2.com/fc2-imageviewer/?aid=1&iid=47)\n * **Saitama meets the Fubuki Group** : [Webcomic Chapter 47](http://galaxyheavyblow.web.fc2.com/fc2-imageviewer/?aid=1&iid=49)\n * **Garou's hero hunt begins** : [Webcomic Chapter 51](http://galaxyheavyblow.web.fc2.com/fc2-imageviewer/?aid=1&iid=53). The noticeable differences arise around this time, as who Garou fights and when is different. The level of interaction between King and Saitama is also substantially altered, because Saitama is at the aforementioned tournament in the manga, while King is not. \n * **Monster Association appears** : [Webcomic Chapter 55](http://galaxyheavyblow.web.fc2.com/fc2-imageviewer/?aid=1&iid=57). Substantial differences between the manga and webcomic are present at this point, though the essential thrust seems so far to be the same.\n\nThis is essentially where the manga is now (which is at chapter 109, by\ncertain reckonings). I would suggest you resume reading at Chapter 42 of the\nWebcomic, because while the next several chapters will be familiar from the\nmanga the deviations start to mount up pretty quickly.\n\n> But these 55 chapters are only barely more than half of the webcomic's\n> current length, as the webcomic is at chapter 109 (by coincidence) as of the\n> time of this post.

"body": "\n\nDuring the Fall 2016 season, I chanced upon an off-hand comment somewhere on\n_Reddit_ about the different adaptations of _No. 6_. If my memory serves me,\nthe user argued that there was a discrepancy between the anime adaptation of\n_No. 6_ and the original light novels in how a certain plot point (possibly a\nrelationship between two characters) was approached.\n\nFurthermore, at some point before that, I saw someone mention in passing that\nshe disliked the anime adaptation but enjoyed the manga and light novel, which\nsuggests to me in retrospect that there are notable differences between the\ndifferent adaptations of the underlying content.\n\nAt the time, I did not pay heed to any of this, since I had no interest in\n_No. 6_. Unfortunately, over the last month or two, I have seen a couple\nstills from the _No. 6_ manga that piqued my interest. Since I would like to\nknow how to approach to series (via the manga, or via the anime) if I ever get\nto it, I am now wondering if there are any notable differences between the\noriginal light novels, the manga, and the anime, and if so, what the nature of\nthese differences is:\n\n * Are there major differences in _plot points_ , similar to how there are differences in plot between the two different anime associated with _Fullmetal Alchemist_ or between the anime and manga for _Elfen Lied_?\n\n * Alternatively, are there obvious discrepancies with _framing_ or _focus_ or _tone_? (For instance, the _Revolutionary Girl Utena_ manga feels more grounded in reality than the anime, and concepts such as \"revolutionizing the world\" are more clearly fleshed out there. However the _basic_ structure of the manga matches that of the anime, although the anime has an expanded plot, pairs Juri with Shiori instead of Touga, etc.)\n\n",

The episode 1 end card is another grey-scale\nimage signed by the same person. The pecs are not as exaggerated, though. (I\nassume that Japanese text is a signature -- for all I know, it says, \"Hi,\nmom!\" )\n\n**Does anyone know if these end cards are amateur works, draft images done by\nthe animation staff, or by the mangaka?** I like them; they give extra\npersonality to the series.

Also, when against\nRaditz, he just went from the power level of a regular kid to 1,300. Trunks\nwith Super Saiyan Rage went from a level near SSJ2-SSJ3 to the level of a\nSuper Saiyan Blue.\n\nWhen Goku fought Beerus in SSJ3, Beerus was using less than 1% of his power,\nlater he used 70% of his power IIRC. Then, Super Saiyan God boosted his power\nx60 times from SSJ3. That means when Trunks jumped from SSJ2 to Super Saiyan\nRage (he got a boost with a lower bound of at least x60 times), the lower\nbound is more likely 960x times since he jumped from SSJ2 to a transformation\nthat goes beyond SSJ3, Super Saiyan God and close or over Super Saiyan Blue.\nAdding all the multipliers of these transformations (we know the multiplier\nfor SSJ3 is x4 SSJ2 and the multiplier of SSJGod most likely has a lower bound\nof x60, then we know nothing about the multiplier of Super Saiyan Blue. Most\nlikely, it has a lower bound of x4. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense to use\nit in many situations since it drains your power and stress you more than\nSuper Saiyan God)\n\n",

Any attempt of rebellion against the humans would be slaughter\nbecause the Queer Rats can't fight against cantus powers in the end.\n\nSupposedly from the same source Squealer learned about the Death Feedback (and\npossibly what an Orge is) in which cantus-users of the [4th\ngroup](https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/9588/1587) have genetically altered\nthemselves to be unable to kill other members of their own speices. we even\nsee earlier in the series that something that looks human but isn't (like a\nQueer Rat in the distance) can trigger the adverse reactions of the Death\nFeedback.\n\nBy raising Maria and Mamoru's child as a Queer Rat (via\n[imprinting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprinting_\\(psychology\\))) he/she\n(in the anime it's a girl, in the manga it's a boy, not sure about the novel)\nwould not be affected by the Death Feedback when killing humans (because to\nMessiah he/she is a Queer Rat or that Queer Rats are human and actual humans\nare something else) and as described by Tomiko Asahina when she was telling\nSaki about when the village was in danger from an Ogre it took deceit and\nmutual destruction to kill a single Ogre (the doctor who killed the boy who\nwas the Ogre ended up dying). This is even more evident when Shisei Kaburagi\nfaced against Messiah where despite being the stronger cantus user he was\nweakened and killed by Messiah.\n\nNow to my understanding Messiah as a name is never used by the humans and it's\nthe Queer Rats, mainly Squealer, that refer to Messiah as their Messiah, their\nsavior. Most of the humans refer to him/her as an Ogre while Saki refer her to\nas Maria's (and Mamoru's) Son/Daughter\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThere have been three known Jinchuriki for Kurama, all from the Uzumaki clan.\nMito, Kushina and Naruto.\n\nAfter Madara and Hashirama's final battle in the Valley of the End, Hashirama\nrealized that Kurama was too dangerous to be walking alone in the world. Mito\nchose to seal Kyuubi within herself because of her knowledge of Uzumaki clan's\nSealing Techniques, Exceptional Chakra and lifeforce, and the fact being close\nto First Hokage meant that he could control the situation if the seal weakened\nand Kyuubi went on rampage. Thus Mito was kind of convenient and obvious\nchoice at that time.\n\nNaruto on the otherhand was on the opposite end of spectrum. Minato was\nagainst the ropes and realized that the village needed Kyuubi's power to fight\nthe threat posed by supposed Madara Uchiha. Naruto had the Uzumaki blood and\nsealing only half of Kurama allowed him more control as well.\n\n**Thus only Kushina's case was special, since it was deliberated and chosen\nspecifically for being the Jinchuriki.** The reasons of this are explained as\nfollows.\n\n * Kushina was chosen as the successor towards the twilight years of the clan. Uzumaki clan had almost disintegrated and a suitable successor would be very hard to find. Thus Kushina may have been the **ONLY choice**!\n * Mito was a tested host for the Kyuubi and thus Leaf elders may have decided that the next Jinchuriki should be as close to Mito as possible. A special Kunoichi from Uzumaki clan with exceptional chakra? Thats what they were looking for.\n * Kushina was eventually told why she had to leave her home of Uzushio and go to Konoha; because of her **special chakra** , she was to be the next jinchūriki of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. This can be the Uzumaki chakra or some other criteria, we don't know. (Source - Naruto chapter 500)\n * Before the transfer was performed, Mito advised Kushina that **love was the only way to tame the Nine-Tails and overcome its hate**. Kyuubi was known as the incarnation of hate in the world and thus Mito may have felt that only a Kunoichi could control all the hate inside much more easily then any other ninja.\n\n",

Countries in North America and\nothers where the Funimation dub was aired first usually had Dragon Ball Z\naired first.\n\n<http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30285>\n\nThe list of countries is not exhaustive. However, I'd like to point out \"Why\nmost of the countries (western world, and to Japan that is nearly the rest of\nthe world) Dragon ball Z aired first.\n\nAnime was an experimental thing in most nations outside of Japan. Dragonball\nwas an exceptional manga and its first Anime adaptation did well in Japan.\nDragon Ball creator was not happy with the first adaptation though and had a\nreboot in form of Z when Goku grew up. This was even more popular.\n\n> Kazuhiko Torishima, Akira Toriyama's editor for Dr. Slump and the first half\n> of Dragon Ball, felt that the Dragon Ball anime's ratings were gradually\n> declining because it had the same producer that worked on Dr. Slump.\n> Torishima said this producer had this \"cute and funny\" image connected to\n> Toriyama's work and was missing the more serious tone in the newer series,\n> and therefore asked the studio to change the producer. Impressed with their\n> work on Saint Seiya, he asked its director Kōzō Morishita and writer Takao\n> Koyama to help \"reboot\" Dragon Ball, which coincided with Son Goku growing\n> up. The new producer explained that ending the first anime and creating a\n> new one would result in more promotional money, and the result was the start\n> of Dragon Ball Z. \n> [Source - Dragon Ball Z\n> (Wikipedia)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Z#Production_and_broadcasting)\n\nWestern media channels decided to pick up Dragonball Z as an experimental\nthing. It started airing in 1996, but halted after some episodes. However,\nwhen it began airing on Cartoon Network's Toonami block, it got huge boost in\nthe popularity. Due to the success of the reruns, FUNimation began its in\nhouse dub of DBZ.\n\nIt is reasonable to assume that, due to the success of DBZ, the media houses\ndecided to cash in on all the positive reviews and started airing Dragon Ball\nas well. After the success of DBZ in North America other markets also started\nairing DBZ and then followed by Dragon Ball.\n\n",

Eyebrows(Izumo) is the first to approach him and tell\nhim that offspring between demons and humans has happened before and isn't\nuncommon in exorcists.

"body": "\n\nFrom watching the movie and reading the manga, as it stands, there are only a\nfew differences.\n\nThe natural difference is simply pacing. The movie stretches the content out a\nbit, but the manga covers a near identical story over the course of 9\nchapters, at 40-45 pages each. This is normal.\n\nAs for major differences, there is only 1 major difference I found, and it's\ninconsequential to the story as a whole if you limit the scope to just the 9\nchapters and the movie. The manga is set to continue however, I believe\nanyway, and if it does, it might in the future build off any of its changes.\nBut in terms of the 9 chapters vs the movie, outside of that one difference,\nthe rest are minor and likely will not affect the story in the future.\n\nAs for what that difference is, for those who have not watched/read both:\n\n> It's the form Momoshiki takes on after he consumes his guardian Kinshiki. In\n> the movie, he takes on a red skinned demon look with pointy chin and a\n> larger overall body. In the manga, his body changes very little, he gets\n> covered in black markings. His 5 eyes (2 normal, 1 forehead, 2 on his\n> hands), 3 of which are Rinnegan, are depicted as yellow. Because of this,\n> the fight plays out differently, but overall, many of the same moves are\n> used, and the end result is virtually identical.\n\nThat being said, if you can, watching the movie and reading the series can be\nentertaining, but if you limit yourself to only one of the two, the manga is\nthe better one, since it's probably going to keep going, giving you more story\nto read. It's also the safer option to read the manga anyway, since those\nminor differences indeed might affect future story, but if you watched the\nmovie instead, you would have missed them.\n\n",

That may\nwell have snuck in due to the overlap in meaning between _sandwich_ and\n_hamburger_. But let's compare the anime scene to the same panel from the\nmanga by Wataru Watanabe:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/YgMfv.png)\n(acquired from this [Wikia\npage](http://yowamushipedal.wikia.com/wiki/Training_Camp); I love this panel\nbecause the rye bread is called out, as well as Onoda's final line, _And the\nbanana's sticking out!!_ )\n\nCompare Tadokoro's description:\n\n * (manga) _Tadokoro Deluxe Special Burger_\n * (anime) _Tadokoro Bakery Tadokoro Special Burger_\n\nWhy did the anime add the extra complexity? I have listened to that part\nseveral times; My non-Japanese ears do not hear anything special, such as\nrhyme or tongue twister. If it were that, a commenter would have likely\nmentioned it. But I believe there is a reason the anime intentionally repeated\n\"Tadokoro\". The only reason I can think of for doing so is some sort of\nwordplay in those five words.\n\nTheory ( _added 16:45 10feb17_ ): There is subtle wordplay. It involves both\n**Tadokoro** and **burger**. Most Japanese are well aware that their\npronunciation of the latter (\" _baagaa_ \") lacks the _r_ sound from the\noriginal English. Yet here is a guy whose surname actually contains an _r_\nsound -- I can hear it in the anime. The two _Tadokoro_ s supply the **r** s\nmissing from _baagaa_. ... I'm not saying this theory is likely or even\nbroadly funny, but it is what my subconscious came up with. It is a subtle\njoke of the ear, mind, and context, which may be why the animators could add\nit to a scene which was already really funny.\n\n",

Though I haven't seen that\nepisode yet, when it comes to a chemical reaction or any kind of change to the\nbody, then it normally won't be a clear answer. Even though the drug canceled\nthe modification, there still should be a side effect from it (in that case,\nthe thought that it completely cancels out whatever was added to make the\nenhancements possible, like adding a -1 and a +1).\n\nMy theory would be that Sanji can produce this heat much easier because of it.\nFor example, when you try to do something and you came out with a completely\ndifferent result, this other result is normally done to interference outside\nof the experiment environment, in this case, the interference would be the\ndrug. And assuming all of the children had the same enhancements done to them,\nthen the reason _only_ Sanji got affected is by another mystery interference\nthat Sanji just happen to have/didn't have an extra of.\n\nAlso realistically, that's not how friction and clothing work. They would be\ndestroyed far before catching fire, but it is possible.\n\n",
