[ { "body": "\n\nWe don't know the definite answer with regard to the same but I personally\nbelieve he can't and this is my argument\n\n * When **Vegeta and Goku** fought at the end, they **both turned Super Saiyan Blue**. Considering Vegeta **expected** Goku to use **Ultra Instinct** , we don't see him transforming into that form.\n * Vegeta unlike Goku, **doesn't like to fool around with an opponent(Who he knows is strong)** and goes all out. He turned **SSJB right off the bat against Weakened Golden Freiza, Hit, Goku Black, Jiren, Toppo(First Fight)**. So it would only make sense for **Vegeta to fight at full power right off the bat** considering even he knows Ultra Instinct Goku is incredibly strong after witnessing his fight against Jiren.\n * **Ultra Instinct was referred to as Goku's limit breaking power. Super Saiyan Blue Evolution would be Vegeta's limit breaking power** (Based on comments made in Episode 123 by the Grand Priest and Universe 7 spectators). Considering Goku needs to be **pushed to the edge** to activate his Limit Breaking Power, the same would apply to Vegeta. The same also applied to **Jiren** considering it was only after him getting **overwhelmed by Goku** , he managed to **awaken** his hidden power.\n * Unlike the first time Goku used Ultra Instinct Omen against Jiren, Goku was fully **conscious when he turned Mastered Ultra Instinct** considering the fact that he was conversing with Jiren during the course of battle. So that puts away the Vegeta was conscious when he transformed and Goku wasn't argument.\n * A lot of Vegeta fans might argue that **Vegeta's transformation is necessary to make him relative to SSJB + Kaioken Goku**. However, **Kaioken is a technique**. It isn't a transformation. Just like Hit's **timeskip gave him the edge over Goku** , Goku is going to have the edge over Vegeta with Instant transmission and Kaioken\n\nI believe Vegeta's new transformation has the potential to Rival Ultra\nInstinct Goku in the future. Jiren's Raw power was strong enough to Rival\nMastered Ultra Instinct Goku. So it is definitely possible for Vegeta to\nbecome stronger with that transformation and Rival Ultra Instinct Goku in\nterms of power. I believe Vegeta needs to be pushed to the limit for him to\nrelease every bit of energy he has(Based on his comments in Episode 123),\nwhich allows him to surpass the level of power of Super Saiyan Blue. Hence, I\nwould conclude by saying Vegeta and Goku both have access to only Super Saiyan\nBlue. However, when pushed to the edge, they have access to their limit\nbreaking powers. Or perhaps with further training, they might be able to tap\ninto that power by will.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2018-03-28T03:14:26.930", "id": "46280", "last_activity_date": "2018-03-28T03:14:26.930", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "46275", "post_type": "answer", "score": 5 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nPrincess Renner belongs to the Human Race and doesn't possess any magical\nskills or powers such as other races. So the people referring to her as a\n_Monster_ is just symbolic or figurative.\n\nFor the reasons why she is called a monster, it's mainly because she hides her\n[true twisted\npersonality](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/44957/does-princess-\nrenner-have-other-hidden-personality-as-depicted-in-the-2nd-season) and acts\njust the opposite way in public. Aside from this, she's extremely\nobservational, intelligent, and possess advanced intellect.\n\nThere is a time when she easily deciphers various locations of eight fingers\nfrom a document, and then we see Lakyus (leader of Blue Roses) saying that\nthere is no one for whom the word _genius_ is a better fit except the\nPrincess.\n\nThen during a meeting with Marquis Raeven and her brother Zanac, she says some\ninteresting dialogs about Marquis\n\n> I wish for you, the hidden leader of the Royalty Faction, no, the one who\n> controls the Royalty Faction from the shadows, to lend me your household\n> troops..........\n\nBoth Marquis Raeven and her brother Zenac are terrified and Zanac says:\n\n> How do you, up here like a bird in cage, know all of that?\n\nThat is the reason why Zanac describes Renner as an unfathomable **monster**.\n\n_Some more quotes:_\n\n> Why, Climb. Are you on your way to show your face to that **monster**?\n>\n> **To Climb warning about Renner:** Listen, Climb. If you were a bigot then I\n> wouldn’t have even bothered to say anything. But I’m giving you a warning\n> since she could be tricking you. She’s a **monster**\n>\n> **To Renner:** Is that so. This is your true face. What should I say when\n> you were young, it always felt like something was strange about you, but now\n> I know you’re **not normal**\n\n* * *\n\nSo considering these characteristics, it can be said that she is the most\nintelligent human in the whole Overlord series and also gets on well with\nother superior races (for example, check her relations with Albedo in the\nother question regarding Renner). It's just natural for anyone to be terrified\nafter learning her identity behind the mask she puts on as a saint. You would\nreally call someone like that a true monster.\n\nSo in short, she is not a (former) monster in any **literal** sense. But her\npersonality, intelligence, and mental disorder makes her one (\n**symbolically** )\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2018-03-28T15:15:19.483", "id": "46296", "last_activity_date": "2018-03-30T16:45:40.893", "last_edit_date": "2020-06-17T09:17:53.303", "last_editor_user_id": "-1", "owner_user_id": "37628", "parent_id": "46277", "post_type": "answer", "score": 4 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nI believe the wish was pretty cleverly worded as it gives the show a lot more\noptions in the future. Then again we can't be sure whether it was done on\npurpose. It could be for one of 2 reasons:\n\n 1. **For Future Arcs** : Since we already got a taste of 8 Universes in the tournament of power, they could perhaps introduce even more powerful characters from those erased universes. Perhaps a very powerful evil villain, or a God who has gone rogue. We won't know the same until a future iteration of Dragon Ball. \n 2. **To save out on time/ dialgue** : Perhaps, viewers might be thinking too much of it and considering the fact that there was very little time remaining in the last episode, maybe it made a lot more sense than Saying Revive all the Universes that were erased during the course of the tournament of power. Considering it had to be said twice by both 17 and the Grand Priest. \n\nAs much as I like to believe it was intentional, I have a feeling it isn't\nconsidering the fact that 8 new Universes have already come into the picture\nthat can be explored. Especially Universe 6 and Universe 11. Also, there\nexists 4 more Universes that didn't take part in the tournament of power which\ncould be explored. Considering the abundant number of characters present, I\ndon't see why they would want to bring more Universes into the picture. Then\nagain, Dragon Ball has been pretty unpredictable in Super.

[ { "body": "\n\nKale has a power beyond Super Saiyan 2. Her transformations, seem to be a lot\ndifferent in comparison to Cabba and Caulifla. We know this based on the\nfollowing reasons:\n\n * _In Episode 92_ when Cabba tried to teach Caulifla and Kale to go Super Saiyan. We know the Caulifla in her SSJ form was stronger than Cabba and Kale in her out of control Berserker form at that time, was stronger than SSJ Caulifla and Caulifla had to go SSJ2 to block her attack.\n * _In Episode 113-114_ SSJ2 Caulifla was initially fighting with Goku until Kale Joined in. When Kale Joined in, she was in perfect sync with Caulifla despite her being SSJ2 (Which is 50 times stronger than SSJ). I believe, Kale's SSJ transformation is different from a regular SSJ transformation and makes her slightly stronger than the average SSJ transformation.\n * After Kale transformed to her mastered LSSJ transformation, she was completely superior in strength to SSJ2 Caulifla. We know this based on 2 reasons. When Goku first turned SSJG, Kale could hold her own against him while Caulifla was completely overwhelmed. So the Mastered LSSJ transformation makes Kale substantially stronger than SSJ3 Goku considering the fact that SSJG is a lot stronger.\n * When Kale and Caulifla fused, Base Kefla was strong enough to easily overwhelm SSJG Goku. This again is because of Kale's superiorty in strength.\n\nSo to answer your question, just like Vegeta skipped the SSJ3 transformation\nand managed to attain an even higher power, Kale more or less did the same. \n \nAnother Important Piece of Information: Both Kale and Caulifla are very\ninexperienced fighters compared to Goku/Vegeta and even Cabba. Also, they\naren't aware of God Ki and cannot sense how strong it is. This is why, Kale\nand Caulifla were more amused by SSJ3 over something like SSJG and SSJB which\nare a lot stronger. Kale by herself is superior to the SSJ3 transformation\nbased on her fight with SSJG goku and tanking that suppressed SSJB Kamehameha.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2018-03-28T20:27:14.637", "id": "46300", "last_activity_date": "2018-03-30T00:43:08.747", "last_edit_date": "2018-03-30T00:43:08.747", "last_editor_user_id": "31104", "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "46291", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]

Instead he avoids conflict, and acts more as a suit wearing intellectual.\n * Kishimoto committed suicide not because of her mother's bullying, but because her boyfriend left her for someone else.\n * No mention of second Kishimoto. \n * Gantz isn't as rude or interesting.\n * When the missions are over, people are teleported to their homes.\n * Suzuki joins the team during the first mission.\n * During the first mission, Kurono is teleported out, holding his suitcase, and apparently forget that he left it laying on the floor of the room.\n * Kurono jump down to help Kato move the drunk off the tracks, but instead reaches for Kato to help him get back up. Somehow Kato pulls him down to him, and they get hit then.\n * The hundred point menu does not have the option for a superior weapon, only the options for exiting with a memory loss or reviving someone from the database. When the timer ran out during the Thousand Arms Buddha mission it reset instead of returning them to the room.\n * They fought with Thousand Arms Buddha before the Giant Statue Buddha, for some reason he was a tiny figure which grew into a giant statue. No explanation of what happened to Thousand Arms Buddha after he beat the Giant Buddha Statue.\n\n# Gantz 2: Perfect Answers\n\n * Thousand Arms Buddha revealed to be a shapeshifter duplicate of Kato.\n * Vampires are called Men In Black and not shown to be vampires.\n * Akira Kurono is not a vampire.\n * Previous Tokyo Gantz Team members are different from Gantz/Minus, except Nishi Reika is replaced by Eriko Ayukawa, who is a previous Gantz team member instead of a new member, and doesn't like Kurono.\n\n \n\n[Source](http://gantz.wikia.com/wiki/Differences_between_live_action_film_and_manga)\n\n", "comment_count": 4, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2018-03-29T00:30:48.320", "id": "46306", "last_activity_date": "2018-04-02T01:47:19.417", "last_edit_date": "2018-04-02T01:47:19.417", "last_editor_user_id": "31104", "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "46301", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 }, { "body": "\n\nThe Gantz anime _is_ finished, and it purposely strays from the manga because\nat the time the manga had way too many bouts of hiatus.

[ { "body": "\n\nWe know the answer to this in the _Majin Buu Saga_ in Dragon Ball Z. While\nShin lived in the sacred world of the Kai's, _Bibidi_ (Note: Babidi's father),\ntargetted them and wanted to kill them. So he unleashed _Majin Buu_ (Note: Kid\nBuu, his actual form) on them who ended up killing the North and West Supreme\nKai. Kid Buu apparently then absorbed the Southern Supreme Kai and ended up\ntransforming into _Super Buu_.\n\nFinally, whle this monster went after _Shin and the Grand Supreme Kai_. The\nGrand Supreme Kai intervened and was absorbed, which turned Buu into the _Fat\nMajin Buu_ (The playful Buu we see the first time Babidi summons Buu). Hence\nhe spared Shin's life. Shin later caught Bibidi off guard and destroyed him\nwhile Buu was in a ball and later hid the ball under the surface of the Earth.\nSince all the 4 supreme Kai's had died, Shin became known as simply the\nSupreme Kai who lived along with his body guard Kibito in the world of the\nKai's.\n\n[This clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxRb7h7xqHA) shows the scene where\nShin narrates the same.\n\nWith regard to why new Supreme Kai's weren't picked, there isn't a definite\nexplanation as to why. I believe this theory of multiple Supreme Kai's has\nbeen retconned for the sake of simplicity. Here are a few reasons why\n\n * In the _Universe Survival Arc_ , we see only _1 Supreme Kai_ from every Universe and they are referred to as \"Supreme Kai\" and not \"Grand Supreme Kai\" .\n * The first reason indeed isn't completely factual but if you look at the episode where Goku, Beerus and Whis go to the _Sacred World of the Kai's_ in Universe 10, we see Gowasu with only his apprentice Zamasu. We don't see any other Supreme Kais. Also, it would make sense for Gowasu to train Zamasu to make him a Grand Supreme Kai. He was training to become a Supreme Kai. So if other Supreme Kais exist, they obviously could've trained him instead.\n * Shin is considered to be the _weakest and least experienced_ Supreme Kai compared to the Supreme Kais across the multiverse. It wouldn't make sense for them to recruit a few more Supreme Kais(More inexperienced than him, because if they were more experienced, they would end up becoming the _Grand Supreme Kai_.\n * Going back to the _Future Trunks Arc_. Zamasu only tried to kill Gowasu(In the present timeline). There is no mention of him trying to kill other Supreme Kai's in the same universe.\n * Finally the best reason why I think this theory has been completely retconned is based on _Episode 55_. In this Episode, Whis states that The \"Kaioshin and Hakaishin(In Singular) are a set\" when Goku asks was curious at to Beerus was concerned about Shin\n\nOf course, this argument is indeed debatable and the only one who could give a\ndefinite answer would be the writers themselves. However, based on the\ninformation we have. I think it is fair to assume that this theory has been\nretconned for simplicity reasons.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2018-04-03T00:49:22.830", "id": "46361", "last_activity_date": "2018-04-03T09:31:52.980", "last_edit_date": "2018-04-03T09:31:52.980", "last_editor_user_id": "31104", "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "46356", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 }, { "body": "\n\nA possibility, though I don't think there's anything canon that specifically\nsays this:\n\nThe quadrant based Supreme Kais were part of a system specific to Universe 7,\narising out of unique and remarkable circumstances.\n\nThere are a couple of things (from Super alone, no less) that tell us there\ncan be multiple Supreme Kais at once:\n\n * Gowasu's \"temporary promotion\" of Zamasu to Supreme Kai rank, while Gowasu retained all the privileges and abilities of that rank concurrently.\n\n * From Universe 7 we have Shin and the Elder Supreme Kai that was sealed in the Z Sword.\n\nSo there can be multiple entities holding the title of Supreme Kai at the same\ntime (indeed, the number of concurrent holders seems only limited by the\nnumber of potara earrings available, as wearing one was necessary for Zamasu's\ntemporary promotion).\n\nThe reasons there usually aren't several at once is because Kais aren't born\nvery often; they live for extremely long periods of time; a single worthy kai\nis usually sufficient; and kais only rarely show the capacities to be a\nSupreme Kai.\n\nUniverse 7 may have just had a lucky glut of 5 kais that were deemed worthy of\nthe title, so the \"Grand Supreme Kai\" plus additional quadrant Supreme Kais\nsystem was developed to account for this.

But secondly, because there are actually so many aspects which\neveryone misses unless they watch and rewatch and understand symbolism that\nany answer is never completely correct.\n\nHaruno is not evil nor is she bad. Instead, she's extremely strong willed, and\nYukino has said countless times she wants to be like Haruno and be the\nupstanding member of her family. Alas, she's not... Haruno is. However, Haruno\nhas always looked out for Yukino and wants her to be self-dependent but come\nback to their family at the same time.\n\nYukinon has always tried to be like Haruno. But by doing so, Haruno believes\nthat she'll never be her own person --which is true-- while Haruno has always\nbeen her dependent. Yukinon wants to break out of her sister's shadow and be\nher own person, but she can't do that by relying on Hikigaya because their\nmethods are so different and Haruno can see that Hikigaya is ridiculously\nintelligent which is why he gets results every time.\n\nOne problem with _OreGairu_ right now is the lack of previous information. We\ndon't have perfect access to everyone's background which makes sense in a way\nas we are able to build a picture of the characters as they are now. However,\nit also means we don't know exactly what happened to Yukinon as a child and\nHayama and therefore, some references are really just take as they are.\nYukinon has been bullied in the past as she has said and Hayama didn't help\nher, which is obvious. However, we don't have details around these instances\nso how they've affected Yukinon is opinion only.\n\nRegardless, Haruno's words should not be taken at face value. Her saying she\nbelieves Yukinon is using Hikigaya isn't correct because everyone can see they\ncare for each other and both would work in a relationship. However, she may\nbelieve that Hikigaya may influence Yukinon in a certain way that would affect\nher future and therefore doesn't want that.\n\nLike I said, it's a difficult question but the main answer would be: Haruno\nhas been like a mother to Yukinon for years and believes it's not in her best\ninterest to start following Hikigaya and becoming dependent on him instead of\nher.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2018-04-23T10:29:49.857", "id": "46699", "last_activity_date": "2018-04-23T10:56:13.467", "last_edit_date": "2018-04-23T10:56:13.467", "last_editor_user_id": "2516", "owner_user_id": "40303", "parent_id": "46367", "post_type": "answer", "score": 4 }, { "body": "\n\nSpoon feeding. There is absolutely no problem being dependent, but that wasn't\njust dependent, it was akin to spoon feeding.\n\nDuring the Christmas fest at Destinyland, Yukino had cold feet before the\nride, then she tells how she didn't know what to do, she didn't know how to\nact. This is because she had always looked up to Haruno, living in her shadow.\nSo, things that Haruno didn't have to face or things she didn't see Haruno\nface, yet the same things she has to, she just doesn't know the right way to.\nThere is this signature expression she has in these scenarios.\n\nIt was this same expression during the cultural fest. Knowing Haruno, she was\nalways loved and probably never faced the trouble of being neglected or left\nout. Haruno orchestrated this scenario by manipulating the Cultural Committee\npresident. She was bringing up these challenges for Yukino to grow as an\nindividual. You see then as well, Yukino doesn't know how to act, she should\nhave tackled the problem of being underhanded first, but she just kept a blind\neye there. They were by no means a big task for Yukino but she still couldn't\nact and overburdened herself, but Hachiman's interference solved it for her.\nAs I said, this is akin to spoon-feeding. This kind of dependency isn't\nhelping her growth at all. Now knowing Yukino's convictions, she isn't really\nproud of being rescued this way. That + all the other times, she really didn't\nhave any means or answers and left it to Hachiman for solving. Our man\nHachiman would solve it in the most repulsive, morally degrading, and self-\ndeprecating way possible, but this latter part has little to do with this\ncodependency thing Haruno brought up because this part was resolved back when\nHachiman requested for 'Something real' and Hachiman started becoming mindful\nof how he resolved things, and in fact _also got them closer_. Keep this point\nin mind, it will be useful later. This all is Yukino's independence struggle\nin the codependency of a relationship in the service club. Yukino isn't\ncodependent though, she is a normal troubled child as Haruno said.\n\nNow moving to the codependent:\n\n 1. Hikigaya Hachiman. According to Haruno, Hikigaya finds forbidden pleasure in helping Yukino, and that he acts as a bad guy (making himself the enemy, self-deprecation, etc). Apparently, this is him being codependent. What I want to say is that the codependency Haruno speaks of here is a relationship dynamic, but Hachiman being the grand loner, would frankly be happy when helping anyone. Logically speaking, you wouldn't be helping anyone if it didn't appeal to you, I bet Zaimokuza and Saika would agree with me here, so does this mean it isn't codependency? No, it is codependency because this dynamic affected them negatively, just not the same as the usual kind Haruno mentioned, The symptoms may be the same, but not the cause.\n\nThe not getting drunk part of Hachiman is also a kind of codependency (but not\njust a club relationship dynamic). It's more general. He, like Haruno, wears a\nmask. Unlike Haruno whose mask brings people closer to her, his mask keeps him\naway from people. It is the culmination of all his past experiences, the\ntrauma, the reason for his reluctance in involving with someone, the reason\nwhy he needs an excuse to help someone, the reason he deceives himself into\nthinking 'we are not so close to being considered friends', also the reason\nwhy he comes up with bullshit like 'a man's pride'.\n\n 2. Yuigahama. Every reason Haruno says about Yui being codependent is true. She puts up with all the nonsense Yukino and Hachiman do, she knows about their thoughts, she is selfish and wants it all, and the things she does affects the dynamics in their relationship in a very bad way. But as I said, just because the symptoms are the same doesn't mean the underlying cause is too. Haruno came up with this another generic codependency definition which more or less goes like 'codependents find value in being needed by someone' or 'feeling happy when helping'. That's more or less what Haruno said, but Yuigahama counters it with how bad it hurts her, if doing so hurts her, but she still does it, certainly, there is more to it than just codependency.\n\nI have mentioned a couple of times how the relationship dynamic was affected\nnegatively, but how exactly.\n\nYou see after that confession request, there was growing resentment and\nanimosity towards Hachiman's actions, then how Hachiman treated Yukino and Yui\nas fragile dolls, indulgence in shallow talk, and never changed the weather of\nthe club room. This ended awkwardly with Hachiman's 'something real' req. I\ncall this the conviction trouble phase.\n\nSo what's the deal now? It's the relationship trouble phase.\n\nImmediately after that, there was just so much fluff, so much happiness, and\nbeauty, but where there is beauty there is also beast (I don't mean Hachiman).\n\nHachiman tried to understand Yui and Yukino more, and certainly, they did too.\nConsequently, they were growing each other closer, their feelings deepening,\nbut they still didn't re-evaluate their distances, and they still didn't\nupdate their interpersonal relationships. The resentment, dude! Imagine having\nto give your lover Valentine's cookies on a serving tray, all the while you\ncarry a pouch of handmade cookies you wanted to give him/her but couldn't. The\nclub was going to bits inevitably. They were just playing pretend. By the time\nhigh school comes to an end, it would vanish as if none of it ever existed in\nthe first place.\n\nSob when Yukino saw that fact on penguin relationships from some questionable\nsource (joke), she thought it's best if she just left, at least Yui would get\nher wish.\n\nThat time during the Destinyland Christmas ride, Yukino said Haruno and\nHachiman have something that she doesn't. What is it that Haruno and Hachiman\nhave that she doesn't, it's that convenient fake persona that they both have.\nIt helps them act what they are not. Hachiman can act like a villain. He just\nfeeds himself that he is alone, so it doesn't matter if he does this, it's not\ngoing to affect him anyways, and Haruno is that ideal girl who is perfect at\nwhat she does. But Yukino doesn't have this 'fake persona', so she wanted\nsomething else. That something else being 'something real' (opposite of fake\nis real).\n\nWhen Haruno says after the prom ended, that this prom was just a consolation\nprize for not getting what Yukino really wanted. My intrusive thoughts at this\npoint went on like Yukino did all this because when it's their time to\ngraduate, she could remember all these memories for the one last time and move\nahead. I think so because they could have just forced the prom to happen, but\nYukino didn't want that, she wanted it to be a thing in that high school.\n\n 3. Haruno Yukinoshita. After saying all this, I would feel bad if I don't say this. Haruno is the most common kind of codependent you would see anywhere, it's so relatable that anyone with an abusive parent would know. The fake persona is so real, like when you speak to your parent who doesn't like when you reply in a way that strikes him in a bad way, so you speak in a predictable manner, and go along with all the nonsense they utter, with time it almost becomes a habit, you don't even know why you become that way, how did it start, you don't agree with it, somewhere deep down you really hate it but you can't help it, it happens spontaneously. Every other codependency thing was almost fictitious except Haruno's.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2023-06-16T14:58:47.480", "id": "68055", "last_activity_date": "2023-06-16T17:39:54.947", "last_edit_date": "2023-06-16T17:39:54.947", "last_editor_user_id": "2516", "owner_user_id": "72412", "parent_id": "46367", "post_type": "answer", "score": 0 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nTL;DR Yes, every person can be alchemist, with few exceptions.\n\nNow, to answer this question fully, lets look at what alchemy is.\n\nAlchemy relies on concept of world interconnectivity. World consists of\nnumerous elements, most of which have some connections to other elements,\nforming interconnected systems, and those systems are interconnected as well,\netc. Any action towards one object will also impact all objects connected to\nit; those objects will impact their relative objects etc. This was explained\nin episode 12 of Brotherhood series, e.g. food chain is example of one of such\ninterconnected subsystems.\n\nThis is source of main principle behind transmutations - _you can indirectly\naffect something in this world, if you know how it participates in its\nsubsystem._\n\nThis also explains why you need to learn alchemy, and why most alchemists have\nlimited area of powers. To know how to do transmutation, you need to learn\nabout corresponding systems of world.\n\nNow, important thing - _human is part of this system as well_. And by changing\nhimself, human changes world around him.\n\n\"Fullmetal Alchemist\" hyperbolizes this idea: alchemy is basically process of\nrelaying some abstract changes inside alchemist into his surroundings, using\ninterconnectivity of world.\n\nSo, basically, since people are part of the world, **every single of them can\nbe alchemist**. But to do so, you need to learn how world works (or at least\nhow certain areas of world structure work). This is kind of same to scientists\n- everyone can learn quantum physics, but it is hard, and not everyone has\nknack for it.\n\nBut there is also such thing as Gates of Truth. According to all notes above,\nit makes sense to assume, that Gates are representing connection of person to\nworld. Therefore, if there is no Gate, person is not connected to world, and\ncannot use alchemy.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2018-04-06T11:27:25.330", "id": "46428", "last_activity_date": "2018-04-06T11:27:25.330", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "22203", "parent_id": "46408", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\n_Multiple_ hours of confusion later:\n\n# True answer\n\n\"According to Itachi, there was a point in time where members of the clan\nabused the abilities granted by Izanagi, instead simply casting the technique\nas a means of escaping the undesirable results of their actions. Whilst this\nresulted in little issue if only one person were using Izanagi, if there were\ntwo or more casters, they would begin to fight amongst each other over\npersonally favourable outcomes. Thus, as dōjutsu users were unlikely to\nsuccumb to ocular genjutsu, Izanami was created as a method to reprimand such\nclansmen, as well as save them from their own arrogance. By imprisoning them\nwithin an unalterable loop of events, the victim was forced to accept the\nreality they had created if they ever wished to escape the illusion.\" **\\- So\nreally we don't know who the first person was.** \n \n\n## Information about Izanagi:\n\nUsers: \n1\\. Danzo Shimura \n2\\. Madara Uchiha \n3\\. Obito Uchiha \n(anime only:) \n5\\. Baru Uchiha \n6\\. Naka Uchiha \n7\\. Rai Uchiha \n#: Unknown blokes/blokettes from Uchiha\n\nNaka is described to have been \"able to awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan and\nbecame obsessed with the technique Izanagi, which he used to kill some of his\nown clansmen.\" While \"Baru was of its few members who were able to awaken the\nSharingan in his youth\" along with Rai who \"was able to awaken the Sharingan\nin his youth\". We don't know the age of Madara when he was able to use\nIzanagi, even roughly, though he doesn't seem to have it in his youth?\n\n**If you take the anime as definitive** it is between Baru and Rai who are the\nfirst, It is not clear which person used it first as they both awakened to the\npower in their \"youth\", no more description is given.\n\nThe Izanagi is a genjutsu that is cast on the user instead of others and is\nthe most powerful amongst this type of genjutsu.\n\nIzanagi can be used only by those with the genetic traits of the Sage of Six\nPaths. The Uchiha, descended from the Sage, are able to perform Izanagi with\ntheir Sharingan. Even with such an eye acting as a medium, gaining the power\nto temporarily control reality's flow as the user sees fit comes at a price;\none has very limited reserves of time within a single eye for invoking this\ntechnique. This technique would normally be used for only the most dire of\nsituations and for but a brief moment as after the Sharingan with which\nIzanagi was casted exceeds its limit, becoming powerless and permanently\nblind, though its sight and power can be restored by further evolving it into\na Rinnegan. For this reason the Uchiha labelled it a kinjutsu.\n\nDanzō Shimura, in an effort to make practical use of the technique, had ten\nSharingan embedded into his right arm. To use Izanagi to its full potential,\nusers must also have the genetic traits of the Senju, who are also descended\nfrom the Sage. Partially for this reason Danzō had some of Hashirama Senju's\nDNA transplanted into his arm, which extended the time span of each\nSharingan's Izanagi to a minute, allowing him to use the technique for up to\nten minutes in total, with breaks in between to conserve time. However,\nbecause Danzō is not an Uchiha, his chakra levels drop substantially every\ntime he activates this technique.\n\n(Since the timeline and plot is so muddled and tangled I could be wrong on the\nanswer)\n\nSources:(There are a lot, its to help your eyes) \n\n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Izanagi> \n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Uchiha_Clan_Downfall> \n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naka_Uchiha> \n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rai_Uchiha> \n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Baru_Uchiha> \n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/First_Shinobi_World_War> \n> <http://narutofanon.wikia.com/wiki/Era_of_the_Warring_States> \n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Warring_States_Period> \n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Third_Shinobi_World_War> \n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Izuna_Uchiha> \n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Tajima_Uchiha> \n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Madara_Uchiha> \n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Obito_Uchiha> \n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shin_Uchiha> \n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Itachi_Uchiha> \n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Izanami> \n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hashirama_Senju> \n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Danz%C5%8D_Shimura> \n> <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Izanagi_and_Izanami> \n>\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2018-04-12T18:51:07.893", "id": "46545", "last_activity_date": "2018-04-18T12:23:03.143", "last_edit_date": "2018-04-18T12:23:03.143", "last_editor_user_id": "40012", "owner_user_id": "40012", "parent_id": "46544", "post_type": "answer", "score": 5 } ]

For more info\non his sickness check out this thread; [was it ever stated if Itachi was\nalready dying?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/48553/was-it-ever-\nstated-canonically-that-itachi-was-already-dying-when-he-fought-sasu)\n\nThe last reason is what I would call \" _ **an overwhelming level of Love mixed\nin with a strong guilty conscience**_ \". Itachi wiped out his entire clan to\nprotect Konoha from the coup that the Uchiha were planning, but couldn't kill\nhis brother because he loved him more than everything else. Itachi most\ndefinitely knew how terrible his acts were and right from that moment planned\nto make amends for it by dying at the hands of his kid brother, who would try\nto avenge the entire clan. Itachi most likely also concluded that Sasuke would\nhave had no chance against him if he had the Eternal Mangekyou, and therefore\ndecided to really fight his younger brother later on after his eyes had\ndeteriorated in such a manner that they would be close in strength and not a\none sided battle.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/hvMvZ.jpg)\n\nSo it was actually because of Sasuke! He knew he was dying and preferred to\ndie at his brothers hand. By doing that, he used his death to make Sasuke\nstronger. In order to make the fight a bit fair, Itachi decided to let Sasuke\nhave the upper hand (by fighting him while he was partially blind and sick).\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-11-10T21:07:48.273", "id": "49589", "last_activity_date": "2021-05-08T21:24:15.577", "last_edit_date": "2021-05-08T21:24:15.577", "last_editor_user_id": "59761", "owner_user_id": "42685", "parent_id": "46567", "post_type": "answer", "score": 3 }, { "body": "\n\nThe existing answers are incorrect.

Its contemporary use originated with\n> Akio Nakamori's 1983 essay in _Manga\n> Burikko_.[[1](http://www.burikko.net/people/otaku01.html)][[2](http://neojaponisme.com/2008/04/02/what-\n> kind-of-otaku-are-you/)] Otaku may be used as a pejorative; **its negativity\n> stems from a stereotypical view of otaku and the media's reporting on\n> Tsutomu Miyazaki, \"The Otaku Murderer\", in 1989. According to studies\n> published in 2013, the term has become less negative,** and an increasing\n> number of people now self-identify as _otaku_\n> ,[[3](https://web.archive.org/web/20130703184904/http://news.mynavi.jp/news/2013/04/27/076)]\n> both in Japan and elsewhere.\n\nThe first two sources are references to Nakamori's essay, where [source\n2](http://neojaponisme.com/2008/04/02/what-kind-of-otaku-are-you/) is a\ntranslated rendition of that essay.\n\nWikipedia goes on to mention that two animators, Haruhiko Mikimoto and Shōji\nKawamori, had used the term お宅 (おたく| _otaku_ ) as a formal, second person\npronoun (\"you\"), which allegedly \"some fans used... past the point in their\nrelationships where others would have moved on to a less formal style.\"\n\nThe [jisho.org](https://jisho.org/search/%E3%81%8A%E5%AE%85) entry explains:\n\n> **お宅（おたく）**\n>\n> Pronoun\n>\n> 4. you (referring to someone of equal status with whom one is not\n> especially close)​\n>\n> Honorific or respectful (sonkeigo)\n>\n>\n\nThis awkward use of the pronoun led to Nakamori choosing it to refer to anime\nfans, seemingly to characterize their social awkwardness (Though Wikipedia\ncites the Chinese edition of a book called _Otaku Shijou no Kenkyuu_ , this\nappears to be backed up by [Nakamori's second essay on\n_otaku_](http://www.burikko.net/people/otaku02.html), from what I can\nunderstand of it).\n\nSo what does this mean? Was the term _otaku_ derogatory from the start? It\nseems like it was. [According to Lawrence\nEng](https://www.cjas.org/~leng/otaku-p.htm), who completed a PhD dissertation\non the topic of otaku culture (emphasis mine):\n\n> In 1983, the first published report appeared on the usage of \" _otaku_ \"\n> amongst fans. Akio Nakamori wrote a series of articles called \" _Otaku no\n> Kenkyu_ \" (Studies of Otaku) in _Manga Burikko_. He called those hard core\n> fans who called each other \" _otaku_ \" the \" _otaku-zoku_ \" (\" _zoku_ \"\n> meaning tribe). His was perhaps the first article **stereotyping _otaku_ as\n> being anti-social, unkempt, and unpopular.** I've heard that the column was\n> short-lived, and it didn't have a large impact on _otaku_ culture (who\n> pretty much ignored or was already used to such unfair stereotyping and\n> discrimination).\n\nFollowing the coining of the phrase, the so-called _Otaku_ Murderer came into\nthe public mind, which certainly didn't do the _otaku_ crowd any favors, as\nyou have already mentioned.\n\nSo back to that [third\nsource](https://web.archive.org/web/20130703184904/http://news.mynavi.jp/news/2013/04/27/076)\ncited by the Wikipedia article. In 2013, in a study of 137,734 people, 42.2%\nanswered that they think they are in some part \" _otaku_ ,\" and the other\n57.8% said they did not. The article continues by breaking down the results by\nage range (teens, twenties, thirties, and so on):\n\n> * 10代：62.0％\n> * 20代：55.6％\n> * 30代：46.4％\n> * 40代：44.8％\n> * 50代：36.7％\n> * 60代：26.9％\n> * 70代：23.1％\n> * 80代：23.3％\n>\n\nFrom this data, we can guess that somewhere during the '80s and the '90s (when\npeople who are in their 50s and 40s now were in their 20s, and had grown up\nwith anime and manga), the term _otaku_ became more popular, and that trend\nhas increased such that a majority of today's (Japanese) teenagers would\nconsider themselves in some part _otaku_ , and thus it would appear that the\nterm is no longer considered quite as derogatory as it once may have been. The\narticle also offers three examples of answers given by people who responded\nthat they identify as _otaku_ , which may shed some light on the reasons\nbehind the mentality shift (translations mine, take them with a grain of\nsalt):\n\n> * 「サッカーオタク。熱中できる趣味というより、熱中できる気力があるの良いこと」\n>\n> \"[I'm a] soccer _otaku_. Rather than being about an enjoyable hobby, it's\n> having the energy to be passionate about something\"\n>\n> * 「好きなゲームの話題だと、何時間でも話してしまいそう」\n>\n> \"If there's a game you like, you'd probably end up talking about it for\n> hours\"\n>\n> * 「海外ドラマ＆その声優オタクでっすw」\n>\n> \"im an _otaku_ for foreign dramas and their voice actors lol\"\n>\n>\n\nThis is just my speculation, but it's almost as if the term _otaku_ has become\ndiversified from its original connotation of an obsessiveness over anime and\nmanga specifically. In other words, nowadays one can be an _otaku_ for just\nabout anything, which may be the reason for which it's become more of a\npopular term.\n\n* * *\n\n### Conclusion (TL;DR)\n\nThe term _otaku_ seems to have initially been coined to characterize certain\nnegative stereotypes about anime and manga super fans, but over time has\nbecome more accepted—to the point that a majority of Japanese teens would say\nthey identify as being, in some part, _otaku_.\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-10-14T06:30:48.287", "id": "49177", "last_activity_date": "2018-10-14T06:30:48.287", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "12985", "parent_id": "46641", "post_type": "answer", "score": 6 } ]

When Gon was learning about nen with\nKillua, their teacher (I forgot his name) said that the nen is an energy that\nnot used just for fighting; the body cells use it to reproduce. It's an energy\nthat can also be used by the body to grow. That's why there's some nen\nchannels that allow just an amount for the person to use, so some energy can\nbe stored for the body to use to stay alive.\n\nSo when Gon was fighting Neferpitou, he became angry, making him careless\nabout what would happen for him if he could get revenge from her. He said to\nKillua to not worry because he didn't care anymore about his life if that\nmeant she's gonna die (that scene with black and white). So he made a deal\nwith himself to use all his nen, breaking those channels, and thus all the\nbody parts and cells got a lot of energy, making them grown so fast. That's\nwhat happened to his muscles, they got bigger and bigger, his hair got longer\nthan before.\n\n(PS: I don't read the manga.)\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-07-17T01:51:26.093", "id": "47877", "last_activity_date": "2018-07-17T02:55:02.760", "last_edit_date": "2018-07-17T02:55:02.760", "last_editor_user_id": "2516", "owner_user_id": "41534", "parent_id": "46651", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 }, { "body": "\n\nIllumi's hair is naturally long.\n\nFor Gon, he wanted stronger nen power to defeat Pitou, so he put a nen\nrestriction to lose his nen and to gain strength to beat her.
