"body": "\n\nSo according to Madara, whenever a Sharingan eye uses the Isanagi, it casts an\nultimate genjutsu on itself and whenever the caster is hurt / dies, it\nmanipulates the genjutsu. The genjutsu is so powerful that it blurs the line\nbetween reality and fantasy and thus the weilder is healed / ressurected. But\nwhenever the weilder is ressurected, the Sharingan eye dies.\n\nDanzo wanted to increase the duration of his Isanagi and wanted to be able to\npossess more than one Sharingan eye so asked Orochimaru to implant the cells\nof the 1st hokage in his right arm to get the wood style and then implanted 10\nsharingan eyes in his now powerful right arm. So he had \"10 lives\"\n\nAm I right till now?\n\nThen my question is, what was Karen, during the fight, was talking about one\neye closing every 60 seconds? I thought an eye closed after the isanagi\nressurected the weilder..then whst was thing about an eye closing every 60\nseconds?\n\n",

"body": "\n\nAs per the [Wiki Entry on Izanagi](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Izanagi)\n\n> This technique would normally be used for only the most dire of situations\n> and for but a brief moment as after the Sharingan with which Izanagi was\n> casted exceeds its limit, the said eye becomes powerless and is rendered\n> blind permanently\n\nAnd the most useful entry, specifically about Danzo\n\n> Danzō Shimura, in an effort to make practical use of the technique, had ten\n> Sharingan embedded into his right arm. To use Izanagi to its full potential,\n> users must also have the genetic traits of the Senju, who are also descended\n> from the Sage. Partially for this reason Danzō had some of Hashirama Senju's\n> DNA transplanted into his arm, which extended the time span of each\n> Sharingan's Izanagi to a minute, allowing him to use the technique for up to\n> ten minutes in total, with breaks in between to conserve time. However,\n> because Danzō is not an Uchiha, his chakra levels drop substantially every\n> time he activates this technique.\n\nSo, the eye goes blind when it goes past its limits, not when it rewrites\ndeath. In fact, It can rewrite almost anything that happens in its influence\nwhile its active, not just death. Doing so does so little strain to the eye,\nits considered negligible compared to actually maintaining Izanagi.\n\n",

The thing is\nthe Spiritual Gods like Kami, Yama, Kai, Grand Kai, Supreme Kai, God of\nSomething, God Superintendent, Universal God (Dragon God Zalama) are Ranks\nthat can pass pressure on the lower Rank very easy.\n\nSince Gohan is a Mortal, below Kami rank, his potential can be opened by\nNamekian Great Elder (Kami rank) and even further by the old Supreme Kai\n(percentage wise). After training, Gohan of course could have gone to the\nNamekian great elder again, but that guy is dead. Anyway, Gohan unlocked the\nSSJ2 Stage. When he was a kid he was pretty strong, but he kinda got weaker in\nhis teenage years. He was weaker than SSJ2 Goku and Vegeta. But still, after\nDabura fight, he got a little bit stronger again because of the near even\nfight. Afterward, he kinda was on the level of the cell games. After training\nand unlocking his potential on the Planet of Supreme Kai, he basically\nabsorbed the SSJ1 and SSJ2 states which makes him put out even more energy\nthat otherwise would have been wasted and he does not get any strain that is\naccompanied by the SSJ1 and SSJ2 state. He is basically his base state with\nthe power level of the maximum SSJ2 state. So in a way, he is stronger than\nGoku SSJ3 because he doesn't waste energy that much and has no strain. It's\nlike the Saiyan God state. Every possible transformation tabs into your\npotential.\n\nSo lets make this simple: SSJ1 < SSJ1-Mystic=SSJ2 < SSJ2-Mystic=SSJ3 <\nSSJ3-Mystic=SSJ4 < SSJ4Mystic=SSG < SSG-Mystic=SSB < SSB-Mystic etc etc.\n\nThe Mystic state is basically the transformed strength into the base form\nwhich will in turn be always better or equal to the next transformed state. In\nGohan's case, it is stronger than SSJ3 but not as strong against Buu that\nabsorbed so many characters. This mystic state basically is the true path to\ngodhood.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nOkay, so here's the thing: unlike the Super Saiyan forms, Mystic doesn't\nuniversally multiply every person's power by the same amount. The increase a\nmartial artist gets from Mystic is completely dependent on how much hidden\npotential is within that person. If Umigame and Goten were at the same power\nlevel and both went through the Mystic ritual, for example, Goten would\nreceive a way stronger boost, as he's a martial artist and a half-Saiyan.\n\nIf we're talking GOHAN'S Mystic boost, however... it actually is stronger than\nSuper Saiyan 3. We know this because when Gotenks fought Super Buu, his Super\nSaiyan 3 form was stronger than Goku's, meaning his base form must have also\nexceeded Goku's. And we know for a fact that Goku's base form was stronger\nthan Gohan's. Meaning:\n\nBase form Gohan (weakest) --> Goku (mid) --> Gotenks (strongest)\n\nWhen Gotenks fought Super Buu as a Super Saiyan 3, Gotenks was stronger, but\nthe strength difference between the two wasn't that great-- Buu even manages\nto hurt Gotenks a bit, albeit nothing too major. Yet when GOHAN fought Super\nBuu with Mystic, Gohan's strength exceeded Super Buu's by a mile. Therefore,\nMystic provided the greater power boost, as it took the Saiyan with the\nweakest base form (of the three I mentioned) and made him stronger than\nGotenks at Super Saiyan 3.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThe manga is the same on this point: the characters call each other by given\nname pretty much from the start. I think there are a few reasons, in-universe\nand out-of-universe, why this makes sense.\n\nMio and Ritsu have known each other since they were young, as we saw in an\nextra story in Volume 3, so it makes sense that they would already call each\nother by given name. Given Ritsu's personality, it makes sense that she would\nimmediately jump to calling Yui and Mugi by given name, and neither of them\nare the type to object; Yui doesn't stand on formalities, and Mugi is always\nlooking for ways to get closer to her friends. Azusa is an underclassman, so\nshe would be getting the more familiar forms of address anyway.\n\nAnother thing to keep in mind is that time passes in strange ways in both the\nanime and the manga (but especially in the anime). Azusa appears in Volume 2\nof the manga and Episode 8 of the anime, so an entire year passes in one\nvolume / seven episodes. In the anime, Episode 4 covers the summer training\ncamp at Mugi's villa; since the Japanese school year starts in early April,\nthe girls have already known each other for at least two months by this point.\nEpisode 7 is Christmas, so by now they've known each other for around eight\nmonths. If I were the writer in this situation, I wouldn't think it was worth\nit to have them all call each other by family name for five episodes and then\nsuddenly have them switch to given names; it would be annoying and confuse the\naudience, who may not have taken the time to memorize everyone's given and\nfamily name right off the bat. (For instance, I've read the _Genshiken_\noriginal manga series about fifty times, but I couldn't tell you what\nKugayama's, Tanaka's, or Kuchiki's given names are without looking them up.)\nSame thing if I were writing the manga; I would not have thought it was worth\nit to switch everyone's form of address halfway through Volume 1 when they've\nknown each other for six months.\n\n* * *\n\nIt's pretty common in \"cute girls doing cute things\" series for the main girls\nto all call each other by given name immediately upon meeting and forever\nthereafter. Everyone in _Hidamari Sketch_ does it, even though Hiro and Sae\nare upperclassmen. (The Hidamari girls do use honorifics, though, unlike the\nK-On girls.) Same for _Is the Order a Rabbit?_ , _Kiniro Mosaic_ , _Lucky\nStar_ , and _Yuru Yuri_. The only exception I can think of is _G.A.:\nGeijutsuka Art Design Class_ , where everyone refers to Tomokane by her family\nname. My theory is that it fits the atmosphere these shows are trying to\ncreate. Part of the appeal to this type of series is the sense of being among\na tight-knit group of friends, the kind of group where everyone speaks\ninformally. It also makes the characters seem guileless and child-like; like\nchildren, they're living in a little bubble where social standing and\ndeference aren't so important.\n\nIn more realistic anime, like _Honey and Clover_ , or workplace-oriented shows\nlike _Wagnaria!!_ , characters call each other by family name as they probably\nwould in real life. But for a show like _K-On_ , realism is less important\nthan creating an atmosphere, one which is harmed if the characters are too\ndistant with each other. And the characters' personalities and prior\nrelationships permit that sort of break from reality.\n\n",

It seems she wrote the mark from top-to-bottom (from her POV),\nthus finishing the first row of 20 (4x5). Continuing to the bottom row, there\nare 3 visible characters. Assuming she wrote it from left-to-right, the first\n2 characters should have finished, making them 10 (2x5). The last character\nseems to stop at 2.\n\n 2. **Danganronpa: The Animation** (correspond to _DR: Trigger Happy Havoc_ )\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/PoF0k.png)\n\nAt least 30. The visible tally marks are in form of 2 rows of 3 characters,\nand all of them are complete, making them 30 (2x3x5).\n\n 3. **Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls**\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/EH2R9.png)\n\nThe 3D model only shows 4 characters and in the same pattern with _DR1_ with\nthe last character stops at 2. Since the rest are probably hidden by her\nskirt, at least 17 (+ multiple of 5), or possibly 32 (same as _DR1_ ).\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/h6S3X.jpg)\n\nHowever, her in-game artwork shows different tally marks. There area 3 rows of\n3 characters instead. The bottom-middle character seems to be the last\ncharacter and stops at 2. It's probably 37 (7x5 + 2).\n\n 4. **Cyber Danganronpa VR: The Class Trial** (correspond to _DR: Trigger Happy Havoc_ )\n\n(Caution: probably NSFW, panty image)\n\n> \n\nProbably 27 or 37. The visible tally marks are in form of 2 rows of 3\ncharacters, while the last character stops at 2. There might be another pair\nhidden behind her thigh, making the total to 37.\n\n 5. **Divine Gate** (collaboration)\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/uuXl4.png)\n\nProbably 37. The visible tally marks are in form of 2 rows of 4 characters\n(the first pair is hidden in the shadow), and the last character stops at 2.\n\n**Conclusion**\n\nThe tally marks are between 17-37, with 32 & 37 as possible answers. However,\none certain thing is, _the last character stops at 2_.\n\n",

(It seems possible to me that the illustration\nmay have first appeared in a magazine or an earlier artbook, and that I was\nsimply unable to locate it.)\n\nOne of the photographs in the product description shows the same image as that\nof the OP, and even the aspect ratio looks identical.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/8oCNj.jpg)\n\nMany illustrations in the postcard set -- such as those of [Roy and Ed holding\nbunches of roses](http://azarashido.sakura.ne.jp/20100107/sCIMG5521.jpg),\n[Winry and Ed sitting back-to-back on a\nbed](http://azarashido.sakura.ne.jp/20100107/sCIMG5524.jpg), and [Ed in a\nstate of undress](http://azarashido.sakura.ne.jp/20100107/sCIMG5525.jpg) --\nclearly do not originate from either the manga or the _Brotherhood_\nadaptation. Taking this into account along with my inability to recall a scene\nin _Brotherhood_ that matches the OP's illustration, it makes sense to surmise\nthat this is probably an original illustration, rather than a still taken from\n_Brotherhood_.\n\nThe eBay seller states that this postcard set was released on December 22,\n2009.

"body": "\n\nYes, Kazusa loves Haruki deeply.\n\nBefore answering the question I must say I would recommend reading my other\nanswer to Setsuna's love for Haruki as it helps understanding this answer\nbetter (the game is a love triangle after all):\n\n[How much does Setsuna Ogiso love Haruki in White Album 2 anime and visual\nnovel?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/39005/how-much-does-setsuna-\nogiso-love-haruki-in-white-album-2-anime-and-visual-novel)\n\nRegarding your question about why she runs away it is because of Haruki's\nindeciveness. Even so she tells him not to say anything to Setsuna about them\nsleeping together because she wants him to be happy with her. She also says in\nthe visual she says she hates betrayals so she hates herself.\n\nAfter having read the visual novel some of the resons that prove Haruki is the\nperson Touma loves the most are:\n\n * She'll lie, cheat, destroy anything and betray anybody. Kasuza would gladly never play music again if it meant that she could have Haruki. In Coda Kazusa shows she would gladly destroy her hand [ending her career as a pianist] if it meant having Haruki.\n\n * Once Kazusa left Japan in Introductory Chapter Setsuna told Haruki she could be Touma's replacement. After desperately pursuing him for 3 years and crying every time she failed Setsuna finally gets to start dating him. The next 2 years with him made her become as happy as she had ever been. Once those 2 years have passed Kazusa returns to Japan. After lots of suffering without Haruki she's more determined this time and in her route Kazusa ruins Setsuna's life by proxy by forcing her fiancee Haruki to break up with her and telling him to move with her to Europe.\n\n * She wants Haruki to be happy: In introductory chapter after Haruki enters an official relationship with Setsuna, Kazusa pretends to be happy so as not to worry him. Haruki's late confession to Kazusa makes her reveal that having Haruki at hand yet never be able to have him is a nightmare for her. In Coda Kazusa admits she can never fall in love with someone other than Haruki, that she will always love him and that having him is her dream.\n\nIn the game if Haruki 2-times both girls then Kazusa runs away because only\nSetsuna can heal his heart:\n\n> No! You'll become the most miserable!; Only she can heal you, I cannot.\n\nOn the other hand, if he properly breaks up with Setsuna and he will have no\nscars then both of them get married and alienate from Setsuna. Kazusa says:\n\n> I have become the happiest girl in the world; It is the best thing that ever\n> happened in my life. Truly\n\nAt the same time she also says that even though it was at the expense of\ncausing her friend to become the \"most miserable girl in the world\" (obviously\nSetsuna) she still feels tremendous happiness.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nBefore answering the question I must say I would recommend reading my other\nanswer to Kazusa's love for Haruki as it helps understanding this answer\nbetter (the game is a love triangle after all):\n\n[Does Touma Kazusa love Haruki in White album 2 anime and visual\nnovel?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/38988/does-touma-kazusa-\nlove-haruki-in-white-album-2-anime-and-visual-novel)\n\nAt the end of the anime Setsuna tries to ease Haruki's burden because he had\nslept with Kazusa and he was feeling down. She says she's the only one to\nblame and even that she doesn't love him as much as Kazusa. But soon\nafterwards, when Haruki kisses Kazusa in front of him, she starts crying. She\nthen repeats the same explanation and adds \"of course that's not true!\" while\ncrying. Setsuna loves Haruki very much and really wants him to be happy.\n\nAfter having read the visual novel some of the main points that make it clear\nHaruki is number 1 for Setsuna and she'd do anything for him are:\n\n * She's lovestruck for Haruki and pursues him no matter what. She asks him what he's gonna study at university and where to do the same and she actually does it [saying it's a pity Haruki doesn't choose english because she's good at it but terrible at economics]. Later he changes departments just to ignore her.\n\n * No matter what he does, or how much he's been a jerk to her , Setsuna will always welcome him back, no questions asked. Even if he ignores her for years or cheats on her with another woman, as in Kazusa's Good end, she'll still take him back. Indeed, in Kazusa's True End, Setsuna gets angry instead at her own family for ganging up on Haruki, instead of Haruki himself. In Introductory Chapter when Haruki told her he had cheated on her not only does she forgive him immediately but also add she can be the replacement. In Coda when she discovers his boyfriend Haruki has been sleeping with Kazusa she isntantly forgives him and fights so that he chooses her in the end. When he avoids her the following 3 years to Introductory chapter she still pursues him and suffer like there's no tomorrow. Even so she never thinks Haruki is to blame, everything he does wrong is her fault.\n\n * She tries to get him by any means posible, it doesn't matter if she has to betray her best friend or ignore her family. When she discovered how much Kazusa loved him she immediately took action and confessed to him, knowing it would all be a nightmare for Kazusa. When Haruki asked her to spend her birthday just the 2 of them she didn't invite Kazusa to her birthday and ignored her family's plans [her father was hurt]. 3 years afterwards, when she sees Kazusa after a long time the first thing on her mind is to use her to start dating Haruki again. She calls Haruki and talks to him for 2 hours with a \"let's celebrate her success\" excuse. At the end she says \"I'm sorry I used you again, Touma\".\n\n * She wants him to be happy: If he abandons her, she accepts his decision and pretends she's happy to make him happy even though it kills her. Koharu's route is a good example. In Kazusa's True End, even after having dated Haruki for 2 years, when he breaks up with her to go with Kazusa she forgives him and considers she'd just been borrowing his heart for the last five years. If he isn't dating anyone she tries her best to get him. This is what she says after the 3 years Haruki had been ignoring her. It shows how much it broke her. Every time she calls him it's hell for her because of his reactions but she still does it every week:\n\n\"Deciding all that takes me an entire day. I really wanted to hear your voice\nbut I was worried whether it was too late at night for me to call [because she\nspends all day thinking about those calls night arrives] \"Choosing between\ncalling or texting takes me another 3 hours\"\n\nIt's pretty long so I'll get to the point: After that there's another hour to\nwrite something for conversation. After that she gives up, she looks herself\nin the mirror [full of tears] and finally calls him. No need to say that what\nhe does each time is simply ignore the call.\n\nAlso, when she gets him at the end of concluding chapter (against the other\nsub-heroines Koharu, Chiaki and Mari) and they become a happy couple (this\ntime he tells her he loves her more than Kazusa) Setsuna says:\n\n> I'm very happy, you know? I've never felt such happiness in my entire life,\n> you know?\"\n\nShe even sings while they kiss.\n\nTwo years later in Kazusa's true ending Haruki asks Setsuna to marry him but\nchanges his mind and marries Kazusa instead. Setsuna is completely devastated.\nShe takes Haruki's guitar and learns how to play it. She can never part with\nHaruki so his guitar serves as a substitute. Another two years afterwards\nthere's an epilogue where Setsuna is singing Snow powder (a love song for\nHaruki) while at the same time playing his guitar with a depressed expression.\nIt shows she can't move on.\n\nEverything regarding Setsuna and her playing Haruki's guitar is explained\nhere:\n\n[Kazusa true ending. Explanation of Setsuna's\nepilogue](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/39518/kazusa-true-ending-\nexplanation-of-setsunas-epilogue)\n\n",

Maybe other geass users can see it (unlikely) or maybe Lelouch\nwas just clever enough to understand it (most likely).\n\nThe red rings around the eyes of geassed people is similar, it's invisible for\nthe people in the show. That's because it's \"non-diegetic\" information, which\nmeans it's information which only exists for the audience and isn't actually\npart of the universe. Code Geass usues a lot of non-diegetic information, for\nexample the red sphere in which \"time is stopped\" by Rolo's geass, or the\nsphere in which Jeremiah uses his geass, people can't see those either. Non-\ndiegetic information is very common and all storytelling sues that. The\neasiest example is background music which tells the audience when a scene is\nsad, romantic, scary ..., there's obviously no music playing for the\ncharacters in the fiction itself.\n\n",

{
"body": "\n\nWind is the nature his chakra naturally leans towards. Most peoples Chakra is\nmost easily converted into one specific nature, and in Naurto's case, it was\nwind. He then used clones to effectively spend years worth of time to use wind\nchakra and then add it to his rasengan.\n\nKakashi noted that while you may naturally be more easily able to use your\nspecific nature, you are not limited to just that one nature. Sasuke for\ninstance is a Fire nature, but also learned the Lightning Nature Chidori.\nKakashi was able to use his natural skill and Sharingan to copy any primary\nnature, and though the use of those copied techniques, can use all 5 primary\nnatures.\n\nNaruto was special though, because he is generally really bad at learning.\nOutside of using hundreds of clones, he can't learn new techniques without\nyears of work. Once he learned how to modify the rasengan in a few different\nways (Big rasengan, Rasenshuriken) he was able to extend that to the other\nrasengan based techniques he used, like Mini Rasenshuriken.\n\nAs noted in the comments though, Naruto gained access to all of the Primary\nnatures, Yin, Yang, and Yin-Yang, as well as several Kekei Genkai Combination\nNatures. This was thanks to 2 things, First, his borderline 10 tails\nJinchuriki host status, and the Senjutsu of the Sage of Six Paths. When he was\ngiven the Senjutsu of the SOSP, he gained full access to the natures of all 9\ntailed beasts which were inside of him, and more from the Senjutsu itself. He\nis now able to create Rasengan of any nature the 9 tailed beasts can use, and\nthe Senjutsu gave him access to Yin-Yang release (which he used to give\nKakashi a new eye).\n\nSo, in that regard, he does have access to over 10 natures, including several\nKekei Genkai Natures, but he can only use them to convert the nature of\nRasengan. Why that is, we can only speculate. He used his clones to spend\neffectively years of time mastering how to convert the nature of the Rasengan\nusing Wind chakra, so it theoretically should be pretty easy for him to do the\nsame thing with other natures he gained access to. But, he has not spent any\ntime learning new techniques. By the time the war started, he only had\nRasenshuriken, so at least until the complete end of the war and release of\nthe Infinite Tsukuyomi, him using any other techniques not directly derived\nfrom rasengan would be plot holes. He had no time to learn how to do anything\nbesides Rasengan and Nature manipulated Rasengan. After that, Its just his Bad\nlearning Status, he simply never spent the time to learn how to do other\ntechniques besides the rasengan.\n\nNow, Theoretically, he could do so. Having Kurama's Cooperation, he could\nprobably create a thousand clones and train for a few days, and there by learn\nnew techniques, but as far as we know as of writing this, he doesn't. Why he\ndoesn't is anyones guess, but its probably because he doesn't need to. He is\nalready tied for first place with Sasuke as the strongest, and since they are\nfriends and far ahead of everyone else, there is no one to make him train.\nEven when someone does come along like that, its over too fast or he is\nalready strong enough they weren't a threat.\n\n",

So when ever Naruto is is Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Tensou's wood\n> style would have a reactions towards the Yang chakra.\n\n[Yin-Yang Release](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Yin%E2%80%93Yang_Release) is\njust the, what someone can call, \"combination\" of Yin and Yang Release.\n\n> * After receiving power from Hagoromo, Naruto Uzumaki gained the ability\n> to use Yin–Yang Release to stabilise life forces and restore missing organs\n> through physical contact.\n>\n\nLike how he healed Gui after his fight with Madara. But, it seems to have a\nlimit. For example, it was unable to fix Gui's leg after he used Night Guy.\nAnother example is how Naruto was able to heal Obito from the Ten-Tails\nextraction, but wasn't able to heal him from Kaguya's _All-Killing Ash Bones_\n\n> * Yin–Yang Release also has the ability to nullify the effects of all\n> ninjutsu, rendering them useless.\n>\n\n* * *\n\n_Sorry for making my answer pretty long. I tried to make it as short and\ndetailed as possible. I hope this more detailed answer helps you understand\nmore._\n\n",

{
"body": "\n\n**Yes, most skaters in _Yuri!!! on Ice_ are based on real-life counterparts.**\n\nThere are some official sources regarding the model of _Yuri!!! on Ice_ 's\ncharacters. According to [this article](https://tokyogirlsupdate.com/yuri-on-\nice-characters-201611111889.html),\n\n> ### Yuri Plisetsky and Yulia Lipnitskaya\n>\n> Sharing the same name as the show’s protagonist, fifteen-year-old Yuri is a\n> extremely talented and at times foul-mouthed Russian skater. He is making\n> his senior debut during the series and is by far one of the youngest skaters\n> in the Grand Prix.\n>\n> **_Yūri!!! on Ice_ 's storyboarder Kubo stated in an interview published in\n> [the October issue of\n> _PASH_](http://www.pashplus.jp/anime/staff_comment/31982/) that Yuri is\n> modeled after Russian figure skater Yulia Lipnitskaya**. Currently eighteen\n> years old, Lipnitskaya is also a young powerhouse skater and the youngest\n> skater to ever win a gold at the Olympics at fifteen years old.\n>\n> ### Victor Nikiforov and Evgeni Plushenko and John Cameron Mitchell\n>\n> Victor, winner of five consecutive World Championships, Grand Prix, and many\n> other competitions, is the rockstar-esque and legendary retired Russian\n> figure skater who decided to coach Yūri. With that record, isn’t difficult\n> to find discern Victor's potential real life counterpart.\n>\n> Plushenko, four-time Olympic medalist, three-time World Champion, and four-\n> time Grand Prix Final champion, is a legend with an attitude in his own\n> right. Notable as well is how Victor rests his forefinger like he is\n> signaling \"hush\" that appears to be a nod to Plushenko hush of the crowd in\n> Sochi 2014 Olympics. **However, Victor as Plushenko could be up for debate.\n> According to[a tweet from Victor's voice actor Junichi\n> Suwabe](https://twitter.com/MY_MURMUR/status/779935081628524544), Plushenko\n> is not a model for Victor**. Is Victor so legendary no one in real life can\n> touch him?\n>\n> **Victor is also partially based on American actor John Cameron Mitchell.\n> In[a tweet from\n> Kubo](https://twitter.com/kubo_3260/status/785169635129696256), when she\n> first thought about Victor’s visual design last year, she thought of\n> Mitchell, an actor she saw during a trip to New York**.\n>\n> ### Yūri Katsuki and ???\n>\n> Who is Yūri's real life counterpart? **[According to\n> Kubo](http://www.pashplus.jp/anime/staff_comment/31982/), Yūri is not merely\n> one Japanese figure skater. Rather, she wanted him to be a character that\n> could reflect all Japanese figure skaters and also be appreciated as a\n> character on his own**.\n>\n> However, it is easy to find bits and pieces of other skaters in Yūri. As\n> seen in numerous fan made videos, Yūri's short program Eros matches Japanese\n> figure skater Yuzuru Hanyū 2014 Sochi Olympic Short Program. Beyond Hanyū,\n> figure skater Tatsuki Machida influenced the series and potentially Yūri.\n> The retirement of figure skater Tatsuki Machida's retirement partially\n> inspired Kubo to create the series and make it successful.\n>\n> (Emphasis mine)\n\nFrom Topic Station (Japanese), regarding [Yuri Plisetsky's\nmodel](http://topic-station.com/yuuri-modelrip/),\n\n> When Kubo was interviewed regarding Yuri Plisetsky's voice actor, she\n> mentioned a little bit about him,\n>\n\n>> Why Russian athletes are difficult to approach, it's because the appeal(?)\nis great. When I saw (Yulia) Lipnitskaya, I thought \" _If she was a man, it'd\nbe the best_ \", then directly used her as Yuri's image.\n\n* * *\n\nNobunari Oda, a Japanese figure skater, requested to participate in the anime.\nHe appears as a commentator in episode 11 and voiced his own character.\n\nFrom Oricon News (Japanese), regarding [Nobunari\nOda](http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2082587/full/),\n\n> Oda, who watched the anime every week from episode 1, quickly pleaded, \" _I\n> want to appear as myself and commentating Yuuri's skate program even only\n> for once!_ \"\n\n \n\n* * *\n\nStéphane Lambiel, a French commentator in episode 12, was also [a real-life\nfigure skater](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St%C3%A9phane_Lambiel). While he\nwas born in Switzerland, he also speaks French, English, German, and Portugal.\nHis outfit was also traced from 2016 NHK Trophy.\n\n \n\n",

The translation [here](http://haydock1859.tripod.com/id120.html), which I have been unable to identify, gives an exact match with the EVA title; translations such as the NRSV or KJV differ a bit from this wording.\n\n 6. _Let me go, for the day breaketh_ : Genesis 32:27, after Jacob has spent a night wrestling with a man, [generally identified](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_wrestling_with_the_angel#Interpretations) as an angel, or as God.\n\n 7. _As one of us, to know good and evil_ : Genesis 3:22. Discussed in the text of the question.\n\n 8. _Come now, let us make covenant, you and I_ : Genesis 31:44, where Jacob and his father-in-law, Laban, make a covenant. Jacob earlier left Laban, for whom he had worked many years, and Laban had pursued him.\n\n 9. _Tell me, I pray thee, thy name_ : Genesis 32:38, where Jacob asks for the name of the man with whom he has been wrestling.\n\n 10. _If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives_ : Genesis 31:50, in Laban's conversation with Jacob.\n\n 11. _Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures_ : Job 3:21, where Job speaks after troubles arrive at his door.\n\n 12. _Ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath_ : this exactly matches the KJV translation of Ephesians 6:4, but similar themes appear [elsewhere](http://biblehub.com/colossians/3-21.htm).\n\n 13. _And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun_ : Revelation 12:1. I don't really understand the Book of Revelation, but [this woman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman_of_the_Apocalypse) appears to be associated with the Virgin Mary or the Church.\n\n 14. _And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new_ : Revelation 21:5. The man upon the throne appears to be Christ.\n\n* * *\n\nWith all that aside, I've just finished reading vol. 10, and there seems to be\n(at least _sometimes_ ) a slight (if rather superficial) correspondence with\nthe quote used for the volume title and the subject of the volume. For\ninstance:\n\n * The two volumes with titles taken from Genesis 3:12 (which involves a woman) cover Asuka's arrival and interactions with Shinji.\n\n * Vol. 6, per the Wikipedia summary and my bad memory, is when Shinji is forced to fight Toji against his will, after Unit-03 is infected by an angel, which fits a quote about leaving a fight.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThe concept of Nen in HxH is comparable to Aura, Chakra, Haki, Mana, Magic,\netc. from different series. It directly translates to Mind Energy apparently.\nIn this series, it is life energy of the wielder who can manipulate it in\ndifferent ways.\n\nYou can obtain Nen abilities by being exposed to Nen. Otherwise it takes years\nof training.\n\nThe most basic Nen can be used by any type of Nen user. These are:\n\n * Ten - put aura around body rather than let it leak out of the body. also protects from other's aura\n * Zetsu - stop flow of aura (make yourself less detectable)\n * Ren - generate a large amount of aura around oneself for offense\n * Hatsu - manifest aura to have special effects\n\nThere are other abilities similar the the above which most users can learn to\nperform but are not \"typed\": Gyo, In, En, Shu, Ko, Ken, and Ryu are the\nexamples so far.\n\nSome very special users are known as geniuses and learned to use their Nen\nabilities without mastering the above. The main examples are the Apraiser and\nthe Fortuneteller.\n\nThe form a user's Hatsu takes is controlled by that user. While in theory any\nuser can master a skill from any of the 5 basic types, they tend to have an\naffinity for one type and can master it much easier. Unlike other series, the\nNen type is about how you move your aura and not elemental.\n\n * **Conjurors** can turn their Nen into physical objects. They often has special properties. (summon chains for instance)\n * **Transmutors** can change the properties of their Nen and then manipulate that. (turn Nen into electricity and vice versa for instance)\n * **Enhancers** apply their Nen to themselves to enhance their own physical abilities. (punch hard for instance)\n * **Emitters** push their Nen into projectiles of into other people causing special properties. Sometimes the Nen takes physical shapes such a gorillas, energy balls, mascots, or fists but are still composed of Nen.\n * **Manipulators** , finally, put their Nen into other objects and then manipulate that Nen to manipulate that object.\n\nThese are grouped so the most similar are near each other. As Conjuration\nrequires turning you Nen into something else, they find it easier to do\nTransmutor skills then Manipulator skills, for instance. Enhancers find it\nmuch more difficult to do complex manipulation of Nen in other objects than\njust emit it as a projectile.\n\n * **Specialists** are special. Their Nen abilities cannot be described as any of the above and are rare. No other group can learn a Specialist's ability, though a Conjuror or a Manipulator is more likely to become one than any other group.\n\nFinally, very specific Nen abilites are somehow much more powerful than more\ngeneral use abilities. Putting restictings on its use, therefore, such as a\nritual, target restictions, or delayed activation can make the Nen ability far\nmore powerful. For this reason, alot of power Nen abilities have complicated\nrules which must be followed. Kuripika can only use some abilities on spiders.\nGon's attacks have a long charging time and a chant. Chollo has several\nspecific conditions which must be met before he can use his main ability.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n@Kaine does a great job at summarizing the basic concept of Nen. I think they\nmissed a few things though. So this anwer just supplements their excellent\nanswer so read ONLY AFTER the first one. I also refer to various links to\nsources where you can read, if want in more detail.\n\n**Firstly,** the Nen Chart that shows compatibility between Nen Types, \n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4Xz0x.png)\n\nWhile talking about Nen, its impossible not to mention this chart. It explains\nwhy Enhancers can use Emission or Transmutation more easily then Manipulation\nor Conjuration. Ex: Gon's Rock-Paper-Scissors are kind of Enhancer, Emmitter\nand Transmutation attacks. Read more here : Source: [Nen And Individuality -\nWikia](http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Nen#Nen_and_Individuality)\n\n> There are numerical approximations to indicate just exactly how efficient\n> one would be at using aura abilities that one is not born into. Starting at\n> one's own aura type, one has the potential to be 100% efficient at using\n> abilities based in that category alone. Then looking at the category chart,\n> one has the potential to be 80% efficient at using aura types adjacent to\n> one's primary type, 40% efficient at the opposite or farthest category, and\n> 60% efficient in the two remaining categories. Specialization is typically\n> unusable for non-Specialists because it is impossible to partially use; one\n> either can or cannot use Specialist abilities. However, Conjurers and\n> Manipulators have 1% efficiency potential of becoming Specialists due to\n> being adjacent to it.\n\n**Secondly,** How to find the Nen Nature for an individual?\n\nThe most popular and surefire is called the Water Divination Test. Put a Leaf\natop a cup full of water and perform _Ren_ by putting your hands around the\nwater and voila you know your Nen Type. (Kinda like the Chakra Paper from\nNaruto).\n\n> * If the volume of the water changes, the user is an Enhancer.\n> * If the taste of the water changes, the user is a Transmuter.\n> * If impurities appear in the water, the user is a Conjurer.\n> * If the color of the water changes, the user is an Emitter.\n> * If the leaf moves on the water's surface, the user is a Manipulator.\n> * If a completely different change appears, the user is a Specialist.\n>\n\nHisoka also has a Nen Personality test which is funny but obviously not a\nsurefire way of finding out the Nen Type of individual. But it reveals a lot\nabout the Main Characters personality types since they usually fit the mould.\n\n> * **Enhancers** are determined and simple. Most of them never lie, hide\n> nothing, and are very straightforward in their actions or in their thinking.\n> Their words and actions are often dominated by their feelings. They are\n> generally very selfish and focused on their goals. This is reflected in\n> their Nen as enhancers typically rely on simple and uncomplicated Hatsu\n> techniques.\n> * **Transmuters** are whimsical and prone to deceit. Transmutation users\n> have unique attitudes, and many are regarded as weirdos or tricksters. Often\n> they put forth a facade while hiding the truer aspects of their\n> personalities. Even when they don't hide their personalities they rarely\n> reveal their true intentions. Many Transmuters rely on techniques that give\n> unique and unpredictable properties to their Nen that reflects their\n> personalities.\n> * **Emitters** are impatient, not detail-oriented, and quick to react in a\n> volatile manner. Many of them are quick-tempered and hot-blooded. They\n> resemble the Enhancers in building their impulsivity, but the difference\n> with them, they probably tend to calm down and forget easier. Because of the\n> nature of Emission, many Hatsu techniques created by emitters are primarily\n> long range.\n> * **Conjurers** are typically high-strung or overly serious and stoic.\n> They are often on guard as to be cautious. They are very observant and\n> logical, rarely falling into traps. Being able to analyze things calmly is\n> the strength of Conjurers. Many of the items that conjurers create are often\n> used by them in a very deliberate and practical, logical fashion.\n> * **Manipulators** are logical people who advance at their own pace. They\n> are all for arguments and tend to want to keep their families and loved ones\n> safe. On the other hand, when it comes to pursuing their own goals, they do\n> not listen to what others might have to say about it. While manipulators\n> often use techniques that allow them to control their opponents they also\n> prefer to use an inanimate medium to control that can be used versatility\n> (such as smoke or pieces of paper hardened with Shu).\n> * **Specialists** are individualistic and charismatic. They won't tell you\n> anything important on them, and refrain from being close friends, but,\n> because of their natural charisma that draws others, they are always\n> surrounded by many people. Because Specialization is unique and can have\n> many facets, most Specialists posses only one Hatsu technique.\n>\n\nFinally, **The Quantification of Nen**. There are various quantified versions\nof Nen, where you can directly predict the damage incurred as well predict the\noutcome in very simplistic cases. The article below discusses how much damage\nwould an enhancer attack do to a Conjurer defense if both are using the basic\nand advance Nen techniques equally.

However we also know\nthis is a [Shadow Game](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Game), so Pegasus\ncould use supernatural effects instead of just manipulating Yugi using the\nframes or predict his moves due to his knowledge of the game and Yugi's\nstrategies.

I understand that the mangaka and character\ndesigners want to make each character stand out. They do a great job here. But\na few stand out much more than others, due to what I think of as _fantasy\nhair_ :\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/AwXiT.jpg)\n\n * (ULC) Oharanu Etsugo -- \"antennae hair\", two small hair groups sticking straight up\n * (URC) Ebumi Masaru -- \"anchor hair\", two somewhat bigger hair groups sticking left and right from bottom of his head. He also stands out due to eyes often wild and almost constantly angry expressions.\n * (LLC) Ise Natsuki -- \"horn-hair\", they even manage to stick out of his helmet! (Rugby helmets have holes; his holes must be magically located.)\n * (LRC) Sekisan Takuya -- \"ribbon hair\", curly ribbons of hair at various angles\n\n**Are any of these styles something a Japanese teenager would actually wear?**\n(Are some of them even possible?) Except for someone from another team\ncommenting that Sekisan has really wild hair, these fantasy styles are treated\nas normal looks. The styles definitely help the characters stand out. With\nthree tall blonds on the team, it is nice that two of them have unique\nappearances. **Is blond hair fairly common among Japanese teenagers?**\n\nThe strange thing is that the series is reality based; no-one has a beyond-\nhuman-capability ability or genius move. For example, another series might\nhave a character grow up on a dairy farm, and now he has an unbreakable grip\non the rugby ball due to 10 years of milking a dozen cows twice daily by hand.\nIn _All Out!!_ there is nothing but tough training and a great coach.\n\nIt is just ... it's just ... the fantasy hair, man.\n\nrelated: [Name of hair style with one strand sticking\nupwards](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/5650/name-of-hair-style-\nwith-one-strand-sticking-upwards) and [Is there a reason for the \"Hair of\nDeath\" hair style?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/22498/is-there-\na-reason-for-the-hair-of-death-hair-style)\n\n",

Hakase acted as Momotaro, while the headmaster's role was the dog.\nHere's the relevant script:\n\n> さて、さるをお供にしたももたろうが、元気良く鬼が島に歩いて行くと、その途中で、今度は犬が現れました。 \n> 「……!」 \n> 「……!」 \n> しかも、戦っています。 \n> しかと、戦っています。 \n> いぬ役の校長先生が、役をほっぽり出して、しかと戦っています。校長先生、出番ですよー! \n> [中略] \n> 「な、なんでしかと戦っているのー!?」 \n> このおじさんが校長先生だと知らないももたろうは、あわてるばかり。 \n> たしかに、街中でいぬとしかが戦っていたら、誰だってびっくりします。\n\nTranslation:\n\n> And so, the monkey that befriended Momotaro and the vigorous demon are\n> walking toward the island.

Headmaster, it's your turn now~! \n> [...] \n> \"Wh-, why are you fighting with the deer!?\" \n> Momotaro, who doesn't know that this old man ( _ojisan_ ) is the\n> headmaster, is only confused. \n> Certainly, everyone will be surprised seeing a dog and deer fighting each\n> other in the middle of a road.\n\nP.S.

"body": "\n\nIt is known that where you learn sage mode affects it. Naruto and Jiriya both\nlearned from the toads, and because of how it was learned on Mount Myoboku,\nthey took on Toad characteristics. Naruto mastered it though, and as such only\nhad his eyes transform, but Jiraiya took on many traits, from warts to frog\nlike hands. Kabuto learned Sage mode from the Snakes in Ryuchi Cave, and as\nsuch took on Snake characteristics.\n[Jugo's](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Jugo) clan, or at least Jugo himself,\nAbsorbs it naturally, and his personal side effect was the darker personality\nas he lost control.\n\nAs for Hashirama, we do not know where he learned Senjutsu, but the theory is\nthat he mastered the Slug variant, since that is the third of the triple\ndeadlock animals. However, Mitsuki seems to be able to use sage mode without\nhaving learned it from somewhere. This makes it most likely that if you learn\nsage mode from the Snakes, Toads, or some other animal that can teach you, you\ntake on their traits, and mastery limits those traits to the eyes. If you\nlearn it on your own, thanks to genetics or something else, you take on a\nunique transformation, like Mitsuki and Jugo. The best evidence for that\ntheory is the curse mark, which is Jugo's method, but every user who\ntransforms using it transforms differently. Again, that is a theory that just\nseems to fit somewhat.\n\nUnfortunately, that is just about all we really got on it. Kishimoto did not\ngo into full depth of quite a few things, and Sage mode is one of them. If we\nare lucky, then the Boruto manga might explain Mitsuki's Sage mode, and that\nshould fill in a lot of the gaps.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n**Short Answer**\n\nTo answer your question: some schools specify bags students use, while others\ndon't; it varies.\n\n**Long Answer**\n\nLike uniforms, bags are also specified by schools, which means the level of\nstrictness varies from school to school. Some schools allow students to bring\nwhatever bag they choose, while others will require students to buy from a\nspecified maker, so that all bags have the school emblem.\n\nWhile the hand-carried bags often seen in anime were once the main type of\nbag, most schools today use a 2-way or 3-way bag, that allows for multiple\nways of carrying: by hand, diagonally over one shoulder, or on the the back.\nAlso note that some schools use different colors for male and female students.\n\nIt should also be noted that the \"backpacks\" you are mentioning in Yuru Yuri\nand Nichijou are not backpacks in the broad sense (which would be リュックサック\n(rucksack) in Japanese), but [ランドセル \"randoseru\" or\n\"ransel\"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randoseru), which are backpacks\nspecifically for elementary school students. Wearing one above that age would\ndefinitely look odd to the a Japanese person.\n\nEven when use is permitted, backpacks aren't always the first choice. While\nbackpacks hold a lot, spread the weight between the shoulders, and allow for\nfree use of both hands, they also have demerits, such as having to remove the\nbackpack to access it, being unwieldy in tight spaces like trains, and making\nthe back sweaty, especially in the summer.\n\nBecause this school-specified bag rule is common knowledge to the average\nJapanese viewer, any explanation is omitted in the work. So when an average\nviewer sees that everyone has the same bag, he/she would automatically assume\nthat the school in this anime specifies the bag to use, and when another anime\nhas different bags, then he/she would automatically assume this anime's school\nhas no such regulation.\n\n[Wikipedia\nreference](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%AD%A6%E7%94%9F%E9%9E%84)\n\n[Bag maker reference](http://www.koyamahosei.co.jp/)\n\n",

"body": "\n\nWhere you see spoilers, someone else sees clever marketing.\n\nTypically, episode titles like \"Y's Ultimate Attack! Z Goes Down!\" are used in\nlong-running shounen action shows. Long-running romance shows will also\nsometimes use episode titles like \"Throbbing heart of Y! A Kiss with Z at\nLast?!\" for the same reasons. But shorter-running shows will often have opaque\ntitles like\n\"[Ultramarine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Beyond_the_Boundary_episodes)\"\nor \"[Intermezzo of Light and\nShadow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Kanon_episodes#Kanon_.282006.E2.80.932007.29)\"\nor \"[Rhapsody in\nFlu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound!_Euphonium#Season_2)\" that touch only\nlightly on the story, if at all.\n\nLong-running shows are long-running, naturally, and they have both a small\ncore of dedicated viewers who will turn up for every episode on a weekly basis\nno matter what, and then a wide diaspora of casual fans who might catch an\nepisode here or there and might skip a few in the middle. For casual fans like\nthese, such episode titles are helpful for a few reasons:\n\n * A quick scan of recent episode titles can get you up to speed on what happened (\"So, we had 'The Battle Kicks Off! Y vs. Z', then 'Z Overwhelmed?! Secret Attack!', then 'Z Strikes Back! Y On the Ropes!', and now I'm feeling good and ready to tune in for 'Y's Ultimate Attack! Z Goes Down!'\")\n * Maybe I, a casual fan, already know that Y is going to beat Z in the end, because come on, Y is the determined scrappy hero who's not too smart but has a dream, and Z is the rich, snobby jerk who treats his bit beast like a slave, doesn't believe in the heart of the cards, and eats kittens. So I'm not interested in following the whole back and forth as Y appears to be winning, then Z comes back and seems to have the upper hand, then Y pulls out his ultimate attack that he learned from his dead master's final breath and wins the battle. But maybe I do want to see what Y's ultimate attack is, or I just want to see Z go down because that guy's a jerk and he's had it coming for the past 43 episodes. \n * Or, continuing that thread, maybe I, a casual fan, had started to lose interest in the show because it was dragging on forever, and had stopped watching it, but Z's defeat is going to lead us into a new arc where things get interesting again. (In real life, I got bored with the \"five minutes till the Planet Namek explodes\" battle in _Dragon Ball Z_ and stopped watching the show, but became interested again when future Trunks and the Androids appeared.) Seeing that next week's episode is where Z finally goes down, I know next week or the week after are when I can start watching again.\n * Or maybe I, a casual fan, had been following this whole Y vs. Z battle, but I was thinking of skipping next week's episode to go to an onsen or eat some ramen or learn some ikebana or polish my katana or whatever else those Japanese people do when they're not watching anime. However, upon seeing that the title of next week's episode is \"Y's Ultimate Attack! Z Goes Down!\", I know that the fight is about to end and we're moving on to something else, so I might as well tune in next week and see how it all turns out.\n\nThe studios want to go after those casual fans because there are far more of\nthem than there are hardcore fans, and the hardcore fans are in it no matter\nwhat anyway, so there's no reason to bother doing things to hook them in. But\nthe casual fans are constantly teetering on the edge, in danger of falling off\nand being lost. So the studios have to show their cards a little, get those\ncasual fans good and riled up for next week's episode so they'll keep on\nwatching. If they can keep some of those casuals hooked, they might even\ntransmute into hardcore fans after a while, and start buying wall scrolls and\nfigures and tie-in manga and DVDs and dakimakura covers and all that, where\nthe real money is.\n\n* * *\n\nI would argue, however, that these titles aren't really spoilers in the sense\nthat they don't \"spoil\", i.e. ruin, your enjoyment of the episode in any real\nsense. (At least for most values of \"you\".) Long-running shounen action has\nvery few tricks up its sleeve. Some characters fight, somebody wins, somebody\nloses. Typically it's the heroes who win, except in a few limited scenarios\nwhere some individual hero might lose. But the heroes always _ultimately_ win,\neven if some of the individual fights are lost.\n\nBasically, these shows have very simple plots. If you've seen enough of them,\nyou can typically predict in any given scenario what's going to happen. But\npeople who know what's going to happen, episode titles or no, can still enjoy\nthese stories. I'm so, so, _so_ over this genre, but I still picked up a few\nvolumes of _One Piece_ and enjoyed them. Was it the complex plot? No, I knew\nexactly what the ultimate outcome was going to be in every story. The\nrealistic characters? No, the characters are simple archetypes. The uproarious\nhumor? No, the humor is repetitive and childish. I enjoyed the unique art\nstyle, the inventive action scenes, the creative world. I enjoyed seeing Luffy\nengage in a weird battle where he has a giant ball of gold solidified around\nhis hand, even though I already knew he would win it. I enjoyed the weirdness\nof seeing a reindeer take some kind of magic drug and transform into a super\nreindeer. The outcome of the fight was a foregone conclusion; it was obvious\nfrom how it was set up that Chopper would win the fight after taking the magic\ndrug. But knowing this didn't ruin my enjoyment of it.\n\nI already knew Luffy was going to win every battle where the stakes really\nmattered. I already knew he would end every story arc as the same idiot with a\ndream he'd always been. I already knew Sanji would hit on girls and Usopp\nwould cower and Nami would yell. Those don't matter. To enjoy this genre is to\nenjoy the journey, not the final destination. What in other genres would be\nwindow dressing or added style is the entire point of the shounen action\ngenre. It's the ultimate triumph of style over substance. A one-sentence\nepisode title can only spoil the plot because the plot is so simple, but the\nplot is so simple because it's not the main attraction; the style, action,\npowers, and raw teenage emotions are. If you're finding that the episode title\nruins your enjoyment of the episode, maybe this genre just isn't for you.\nMaybe you need something with a more complex plot to enjoy.\n\n",

His body is still\nin the real dimension until it overlaps, but absolutely any overlap will send\nthe overlapped portion to the Kamui dimension. He can't attack or be attacked\nat all, and can't deactivate it while overlapped with something (or he can and\nit causes serious harm to him, we never see it happen). No known techniques\nwork around this. He has never been harmed by someone in the real dimension\nwhile its active. its only weakness is that his overlapped real body sits in\nthe Kamui dimension, and is vulnerable as normal to any attacks from the Kamui\ndimension, though if his head is also not there, he can't see it.\n\n",

Even his brother Tobirama\ndid not use Wood Release all that much, but instead had a variety of\nspeciality techniques including Space-time jutsu, Edo Tensei, Kage Bunshin,\netc.\n\nThe Uchiha are adept at using fire techniques, because of their natural\naffinity towards it. The Senju are commonly called as **\"Senju clan of the\nforest\"**. So we could only assume from the name that they are adept at using\nforest related skills; Wood Release.\n\nBut from the Senju we have seen in battle, namely Tobirama, Hashirama and\nTsunade, the common feature about them is their unique fighting style and\nskills. This would lead into a more agreeable assumption. The clan's name,\n\"Senju\", literally means **\"a thousand skills\"**. So this would mean, rather\nthan the whole clan specializing in one type of jutsu/technique/nature\nrelease/skill, the clan members would be specialized in different types of\njutsu. This actually fits the meaning of their name. Which means, there isn't\na trademark clan ability. This assumption is supported by the Senju we've seen\nin battle multiple times.\n\nThe Uchiha hadn't defeated all the other clans. It was just said that they\nwere among the top powerful clans, only challenged by the Senju. The Uchiha\nand Senju had been fighting against each other over centuries, even before\nHashirama and Madara's times. This was because of the Indra and Asura feud. So\nwhile the Uchiha were powerful, the only clan able to go against them were the\ndescendants of Asura. That's the main reason as to why they could go toe to\ntoe.\n\n**TL;DR** : The Senju clan doesn't have a trademark ability. But all its\nmembers have proficiency in different types of jutsu. Because of being the\ndescendants of the Sage of Six Paths' sons, the Senju and Uchiha were able to\ngo toe to toe against each other.\n\n",

A few\nweird Shinsengumi fan sites and [Urban\nDictionary](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=aku%20soku%20zan)\nclaim that it was a real historical phrase, but\n[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sait%C5%8D_Hajime#Sait.C5.8D_in_fiction)\nand [the question I posted to History\nSE](https://history.stackexchange.com/questions/35837/was-aku-soku-\nzan-%e6%82%aa%e5%8d%b3%e6%96%ac-a-real-shinsengumi-motto) claim it was not a\nreal phrase and was invented by Nobuhiro Watsuki for the manga. Wikipedia\nclaims without citation:\n\n> The \"Aku Soku Zan\" motto he lives by (悪即斬, most literally, \"Kill those who\n> are evil immediately,\", translated as \"Slay Evil Immediately\" in the English\n> dub and as \"Swift Death to Evil\" in the VIZ manga) is most likely\n> fictitious, though it does encompass a common sentiment of the Shinsengumi\n> during the Bakumatsu.\n\nThe only semi-reliable source among these is the Google Books search that\n[Avery](https://history.stackexchange.com/users/9985/avery) did for the\nHistory SE answer, which turned up no results for the phrase anywhere in the\n20th Century. The History SE answer also points out that the phrase smacks of\nthe kind of bad Classical Chinese that a non-expert modern Japanese speaker\nwould come up with, which is at least decent circumstantial evidence.\n\nAll I really have to go on at this point are instincts, which tell me that if\nit's this hard to find any decent historical source on this phrase, it's\nhighly unlikely that a mangaka doing a weekly action series for _Shounen Jump_\nwould have managed to dig it up, so it was probably a fabrication. I don't\nknow whether it was Watsuki's specifically or if it was one of the weird\nfabricated \"facts\" that sometimes show up in happy fun-time history picture\nbooks aimed at grade schoolers that you buy in the gift shop at the museum,\nbut my gut says someone made this up in the modern day.\n\nThis would mean that when other anime use the phrase, they're referencing\n_Rurouni Kenshin_. They might be doing so intentionally; several high-profile\nmanga creators of today, including Eiichiro Oda of _One Piece_ and Hiroyuki\nTakei of _Shaman King_ [worked as assistants for\nWatsuki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobuhiro_Watsuki#Notable_assistants),\nand the series has remained popular, leading to a [live action\nfilm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rurouni_Kenshin_\\(film\\)) released in\n2012, with a sequel in 2014, so it's still in the public consciousness. It's\nalso possible that after the phrase was introduced in _Rurouni Kenshin_ , it\nbecame part of folk history, the way American films like _Titanic_ have\ninfluenced the public's view of the historical events.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nEarlier in the war, Naruto sent his clones out to each shinobi, and to each\none, he gave them a bit of the 9 tails chakra. They obtained a basic red\nchakra cloak from that, which greatly increased their power. This chakra was\nlinked back to naruto in much the same way as a shadow clone is.\n\nWhen a shadow clone is created, the users chakra is split evenly between\nthemselves and the clone. With 2 clones, each clone and the real body get a\nthird of the total chakra. Likewise, any unused chakra left in the clone when\nit is dispersed, as well as any memories it obtained, are returned to the user\nnear instantly. That is the connection between the user and the shadow clones.\nI believe this connection is forcefully upheld when new clones are created. In\nthat respect, no matter how the clones are made, once a new clone is made, all\nthe others loose a bit of chakra, and its given to the new clone so that they\nall have the same amount of chakra. I cant back that up though, because it is\nnever stated, just implied by evidence. It however is the only explanation for\nthe situation the 2nd hokage was describing, more on that later.\n\nDuring the fighting, the Shinobi of the alliance lost their chakra cloak,\nbecause too much power was used. However (as later shown by the scene in\nquestion) the chakra was still there, it was just a small, unusable amount\nwhich was just enough to keep that connection alive.\n\nMinato can only teleport those he or his chakra are directly touching. So,\nwhat Naruto did, was merge his chakra with Minato's, and had Minato's 9 tails\ngive his 9 tails chakra. With the influx of chakra, it was then distributed to\nall of the shinobi alliance via that small unusable amount of chakra they all\nstill had, the same principle as Shadow clones. When the main body got the\nextra chakra, it was evenly distributed to all of his \"clones\" which was every\nshinobi in the alliance. The merging of Naruto's and Minato's chakra let\nMinato teleport anyone connected to Naruto's chakra, and Naruto's chakra was,\nvia the principles of shadow clones described already, connected to every\nsingle shinobi in the alliance, and only Sasuke and Jugo were excluded\n(excluding the other hokage), but (correct me if I remember incorrectly)\nNaruto grabbed onto them and that made the connection.\n\n",

Minato on the other hand, can't do any such thing, so him\nsurviving this encounter is out of the question.\n\nAs for Kushina, besides the fact that she was set to die without Kurama, she\nstill dove in-front of his claw, and it pierced her torso in what is likely a\nfatal injury. Combining such an injury with her weakened body, and its\nprobably next to impossible to save her life. At that point, Both Minato and\nKushina are guaranteed going to die, or at least believe so. Sealing Kurama in\neither of them will probably still lead to their death.\n\nAs for why he only sealed Half of Kurama into Naruto, As per\n[This](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/23135/20610) answer, He couldn't seal\nall of Kurama into Naruto. [Minato's](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Minato)\nWiki entry notes that it was because Kurama was too powerful to be sealed into\na newborn infant.\n\nEdit 1: OP added some concerns in a comment, Responding here: First, Any time\nKurama was resealed in Kushina was filler, and as filler does not need to\nfollow in faith of canon, they could do anything, including contradict the\ncanon content. Second, [Kushina](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kushina_Uzumaki)\neven volunteered to have Kurama get resealed inside of her, to drag both of\nthem to death.\n\n> While still weakened, Kushina used her diminished chakra to restrain the\n> Nine-Tails. Despite fearing the trauma would kill her in her current state,\n> Kushina volunteered to have the Nine-Tails sealed back into her body so that\n> it would die with her.\n\nSo all in all, Kushina was effectively on deaths door, and had no hope on\nbeing saved. She had just spent 10 months pregnant, given birth, had Kurama\nextracted, and was left in that dying state for up to a few minutes with no\nmedical help. As we found out later on, Naruto survived, but unlike Kushina,\nhe was still healthy, young and strong, and had Sakura, second only to Tsunade\nin medical prowess, constantly healing him (and help from Hagoromo). So it\nactually makes sense that he had a solid chance of survival from the\nresealing. Kushina on the other hand, had several major events drain her\npower, not including loosing Kurama, so her being strong enough to survive was\nlow at best.\n\nIn that respect, He probably could have sealed Kurama back into Kushina, but\nit most likely would have still left her dead and freed Kurama. A free Kurama\nwould throw the tailed beast balance off, causing war, and Minato did not want\nto take such a risk when a safe option was available. That safe option,\nsealing half of kurama into naruto, also had one major benefit in Minatos eye,\nthe fact that he believed Naruto could be the child of prophecy Jiraiya spoke\nabout, and Naruto having access to Kurama's power would greatly help him\nsucceed (that is also brought up in [the\nanswer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/23135/20610) I linked earlier).\n\n",

But if you look more detail, actually in Episode 432\nKushina seal half of the kyuubi on her own and minato did the hakke fuin to\nseal the other half in Naruto. Which make a lot of sense, do you know that\nafter bijuu extracted from a jinchuriki they can get back to alive if the\nbijuu reseal? Like what Minato did to Naruto when he lose Yang Kurama. But\nthis happen when Kurama told Gaara that seal the other half would save him. In\nthe case of Kushina, the only thing she know is that she'll died after reseal\nthe kyuubi at her weakest point but in episode 432 Minato convince to seal\nonly half. Minato gamble if she could survive and turn out to be true, she\nsurvived. And maybe that's why that kyuubi claw didn't hit them because after\nKushina get Kyuubi power she immediately strengthen the Adamantine Chain seal\nso Minato could do the Hakke Fuin. I wish that was what Minato did. In Tsunade\nDream filler Naruto still become Naruto and dream to become just like his dad,\nvillager respect him just because he is hokage son but he gain real respect\nafter he save the village.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIf anything, anime adapted from a manga, light novel, or visual novel should\ncost more to make because there would be costs associated with working with\nthe owners of the original. But make no mistake, studios _do_ only want to\nrelease anime that make money.\n\n# Why are so many anime based on existing properties?\n\nThe focus on anime based on existing properties is not about production cost;\nit's about risk management.\n\nWhenever you're selling creative work to a mass market, you're taking a huge\nrisk that it won't catch on and you won't make back what you spent on it. If\nyou're selling cola or toilet paper or office furniture, it's relatively easy\nto do some research, figure out what consumers want, and make that. It's well\nunderstood what consumers want out of these products, and you can distill your\nconsumers into a small number of profiles that you can serve by a line with\ntwo or three varieties of your product.\n\nBut this is much harder when it comes to creative work. You can get together a\nfocus group and give them surveys on what they like about _Naruto_ , _One\nPiece_ , and _Dragon Ball Z_ , and then try to make an anime series based on\nthat knowledge, but it will fail. Audiences can tell when you're making a\ncreative work based on market research, and they will hate you for it. Well,\nto be fair, this isn't always true. You can sometimes get away with cloning an\nexisting series, especially with properties aimed at children. It always\nboggled my mind that _Beyblade_ became so popular when it was such a\ntransparent knock-off of _Pokemon_ , _Digimon_ , _Yu-gi-oh_ , and _Monster\nRancher_. But you can only get away with this for so long; children will grow\nup, and even the least discerning audience will notice after your third clone\nof _Naruto_ that you're just repeating yourself. Audiences want certain\ncomfortable tropes to stay in place, but they also want a certain amount of\nnovelty. And no focus group will ever lead you to true originality.\n\nBut originality is risky; there's always the chance that audiences won't\nrespond, and your sales will suffer. As one example, consider the two\nconcurrent yonkoma manga of Satoko Kiyuzuki, _[Shoulder-a-Coffin\nKuro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder-a-Coffin_Kuro)_ and _[GA\nGeijutsuka Art Design\nClass](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GA_Geijutsuka_Art_Design_Class)_. Both\nare seinen yonkoma series that started in 2004, which means they were expected\nto be schoolgirl moe slice of life cuteness. _GA_ is; it's a conventional moe\nyonkoma about five high school girls having fun at art school. _Kuro_ is not;\nit's a dark fairy tale with only the lightest of moe elements. Guess which of\nthese two got an anime adaptation?\n\nHowever, if _Kuro_ had turned out to be a massive breakout success, I'm sure\nit would have gotten an anime adaptation, because that's why so many anime are\nbased on existing properties: the anime studios let sales of the original work\ntell them what kind of potential an anime based on the property has, and if\nthe numbers tell the right story, they'll pull the trigger on an adaptation.\nThis is why there are anime based on _Oreimo_ , _Oregairu_ , and _One Piece_ ,\nbut none based on _[The Circumstances Leading to Waltraute's\nMarriage](https://myanimelist.net/manga/44025/Waltraute-\nsan_no_Konkatsu_Jijou)_ , _[The Zashiki-Warashi of Intellectual\nVillage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zashiki_Warashi_of_Intellectual_Village)_\n, _[Guru Guru Pon-chan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Guru_Pon-chan)_ ,\nor\n_[Enmusu](https://myanimelist.net/manga/3883/Renai_Shusse_Emaki_En_x_Musu/characters)_\n(despite the first two being written by _A Certain Adjective Noun_ series\nauthor Kazuma Kamachi).\n\n# Why are original anime still made if they're so risky?\n\nA lot of us older fans like to focus on the business side of anime, because\nyounger fans tend not to understand how much the business side influences the\ncreative side. They tend to think that anime is always made with the creative\nimpulse at heart and the creative people are in charge, and thus struggle to\nunderstand why certain artistic failures happen. I definitely thought this way\nwhen I was a younger fan.\n\nBut while there is a cutthroat business side to anime, and there is a lot of\ncynical, money grubbing behavior in the industry, the creators do still have\n_some_ control, and sometimes, after they go out and rake in the cash for the\nstudio with stuff based on existing properties, they want to exercise their\ncreative muscles a little. Take _Cowboy Bebop_ : if you believe [director\nShinichiro\nWatanabe](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/convention/2013/otakon/7), he was\npretty much given free rein to do whatever he wanted with it after the toy\ncompanies pulled out, and he made something experimental and original which\nwasn't a massive financial success, but is beloved by fans. Bandai Visual\ntrusted Watanabe to deliver based on the strength of his premise and [his\nprevious successes with _Macross Plus_ and _Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust\nMemory_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy_Bebop#Production). _Madoka_?\n[Similar\nstory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica#Production):\ndirector Akiyuki Shinbo, who had just recently finished reaffirming his value\nto Shaft with _Hidamari Sketch_ and _Bakemonogatari_ , pitched his plan for a\nnew magical girl series to producer Atsuhiro Iwakami, who trusted Shinbo\nenough that he consciously decided to let Shinbo build his own original work\ninstead of tethering it to an existing property. Iwakami himself says that\nafter helping assemble the team of Shinbo, writer Gen Urobuchi, and character\ndesigner Ume Aoki, he purposely stood back and let the creative people work:\n\n> ANN: At the Q&A you also mentioned that you had asked Urobuchi specifically\n> to write something \"heavy.\" How much guidance do you offer on the creation\n> process?\n>\n> AI [Iwakami]: I was the one who said \"let's do a show using these creative\n> talents.\" But after that I don't matter much; it's up to those talents to do\n> their work. If something comes to a stand-still I might intervene, but they\n> did an excellent job and I was very happy seeing the results in episode one.\n> When I saw the character designs that Aoki did, it was exactly what I was\n> hoping for, so everything was in the hands of the creative team.\n>\n> From [Anime News\n> Network](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interview/2011-09-07/interview-\n> atsuhiro-iwakami)\n\nOriginal anime are riskier to make because there's always a chance they won't\ncatch on with audiences and the studio won't make its money back. But they can\nalso pay off in a huge way. If every single anime that comes out is based on\nan existing story, there are people who will stop watching anime altogether;\nthey'll either read the original work instead, or they'll move on to an\nentirely different medium where originality is more prized.\n\n",

For example- admirals (more\nplasma, ice, or light), trebol( Donquixote Doflamingo family more sticky\nmaterial), Blackbeard(more darkness), ace (more fire) etc. In such case the\nhaki attack was only hits the matter covering their body and only able to\nscratch a little and therefore in this type of devil fruit power the body can\nbe regained back to normal by just producing more matter.

Lady Kumaria clearly resembles Sumika Izumino,\nwho was Kureha's girlfriend before she was killed by Mitsuko Yurizono.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/h46rv.jpg)\n\nWhat reason is there for this resemblance? The [fan-made\nWikia](http://yurikumaarashi.wikia.com/wiki/Sumika_Izumino) does state that:\n\n> Later, [Sumika] appears before Kureha as Lady Kumaria to turn Kureha into a\n> bear and send Kureha and Ginko on a journey beyond severance.\n\nThis suggests that at least one person sees Sumika as being the same entity as\nLady Kumaria. I have trouble seeing the idea of Sumika as Lady Kumaria\nincarnate as anything more than a stretch of the imagination; I do not recall\nany plot points or characterisation that make this an undoubtedly natural\nconclusion to have. (Sumika does indicate in her actions surrounding Kureha's\nbirthday that she expects that they will be separated, and she does push\nKureha in a positive direction. Such behaviour might be congruent with what I\nwould expect of a benevolent deity made incarnate, but it's surely easier to\nexplain this as being a result of Sumika's goodness and her classmates'\nactions.)\n\nAlternatively, perhaps Lady Kumaria appears to girls in a form that is\nmeaningful to them, but again, I lack any evidence that supports this to a\nreasonable degree.\n\nIs there any official material -- whether from the anime itself or from\ninterviews or artbooks -- that might shed light on these issues?\n\n",
