In [Chapter 115](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Chapter_115),\nVivi mentions the \"Age of Dinosaurs\" on Little Garden and Kuzan (Aokiji) has a\nmove called [Ice Age](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Hie_Hie_no_Mi),\nsuggesting that there was an Ice Age on this planet. With the exception of the\nGrand Line, most of the planet experiences four seasons, regular tides, and\nweather patterns similar to Earth. All of this in addition to regular days and\nnights suggest that the One Piece galaxy is heliocentric.\n\nHowever, the One Piece planet has [6\nmoons](https://i.stack.imgur.com/HB27B.png), and one of these moons has its\nown moon (which is large enough itself to be a self-gravitating sphere).\nAssuming the Ohara citizens were correct about their model of the planet and\nthat the One Piece universe has the same laws of physics as ours, their planet\nis probably not Earth. Theoretically, it should be much larger but considering\nimaginary logic, maybe we should just leave the physics up to our\nimaginations.\n\nI would put the One Piece planet at a similar size to Earth's for several\nreasons:\n\n 1. According to the [One Piece Timeline](https://thelibraryofohara.com/the-one-piece-timeline/) (not perfect but probably the best we can get with what we have), it took Luffy and his crew something like 75 days to get through [Paradise](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Paradise) with excursions (again, I understand that could be spot on or way off, we just can't know for certain). Earth has a circumference of ~40,000 km. The average caravel (Going Merry) speed is let's say 5 knots with a Nami navigator and Grand Line conditions. A Franky-built brig (Thousand Sunny) averages let's say 10 knots because Franky is awesome and Nami is navigating. So that means the Straw Hats traveled [Paradise](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Paradise) at an overall average of let's say 7 knots. 20,000 km / 7 knots is ~65 days without excursions and the Straw Hats knock out most of these excursions in a day or two.\n\n 2. Apart from the Grand Line, the One Piece planet has Earth-like weather patterns and four seasons per year. Considering Luffy supposedly has a Gregorian calendar birthday ([Cinco de Mayo](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Monkey_D._Luffy)), there are 365 days in said years. Oh, also, he weighs [64 kg](https://www.absoluteanime.com/one_piece/luffy) and that's a reasonable Earth weight. He is really strong though so maybe it's a bit smaller and that's why everyone can jump really high and Luffy only weighs 64kg, apart from \"because reasons,\" which is probably how we should be approaching this question. Now, correct me if I'm wrong but I do not believe either of these measurements are technically canon, so take all that with the same grain of salt with which you are probably taking this question and answer.\n\n 3. The deepest part of the ocean we know about in One Piece is just below Fishman Island, which lies [10km](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Chapter_490) below sea level. Not-so-coincidentally, the deepest depth of Earth's ocean is [just over 10km](https://geology.com/records/deepest-part-of-the-ocean.shtml). Since the One Piece planet supports land and water on its crust similarly to Earth, it probably has a similar geological structure to Earth. With identical water depths, I think I can rest my case here.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-07-12T00:17:08.147", "id": "47797", "last_activity_date": "2023-05-01T20:56:54.353", "last_edit_date": "2023-05-01T20:56:54.353", "last_editor_user_id": "19307", "owner_user_id": "41439", "parent_id": "46799", "post_type": "answer", "score": 4 }, { "body": "\n\nI stopped last year reading the manga in the Big Mom flashback, so I don't\nknow if it has been answered in the manga or not, but, in Robin flashback in\nchapter 392 (episode 275), there's a planetarium of One Piece planet with the\nmoons.\n\nThere are 5 orbits, with 6 or more satellites.

That you want to watch the whole series, including whatever Dic skipped.\n 2. That you want to watch each installment in the order they were originally shown in Japan.\n\nFirst, before you begin watching the show, you may want to read the Codename\nSailor V manga series for some background, since that was released first. Some\nof the events events are eventually touched upon in the Sailor Moon television\nseries, but I do not remember when and they were technically published first\nso it gives you some insight on on Minako, Artemis and Sailor V.\n\nAs for the show itself, each season of the television series was published in\nthis order:\n\n * _Sailor Moon_ (March 7th 1992-February 27, 1993 ) (46 episodes)\n * _Sailor Moon R_ (March 6th 1993-March 12th 1994) (43 episodes)\n * _Sailor Moon S_ (March 19th 1994-February 25th 1995) (38 episodes)\n * _Sailor Moon SuperS_ (March 4th 1995-March 2nd 1996) (39 episodes)\n * _Sailor Moon Sailor Stars_ (March 9th 1996-February 8th 1997) (34 episodes)\n\nThat order is enough if you just want to watch the actual show, but there were\nalso three movies released in the middle of each season:\n\n * _Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon R: The Movie_ (December 5th 1993)\n * _Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon S The Movie_ (December 4th 1994)\n * _Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon SuperS: The Nine Sailor Soldiers Unite! Miracle of the Black Dream Hole_ (December 23rd 1995)\n\nThe episodes, [as titled by Viz on their region specific streaming\nwebsite](https://www.viz.com/watch/streaming/sailor-moon), immediately\npreceding the release date of each movie were:\n\n * 76 Magic of Darkness: Esmeraude's Invasion (December 4th, 1993)\n * 116 Sunny Skies After a Storm: A Friendship Dedicated to Hotaru (dec 3rd, 1994)\n * 157 Pegasus Disappears: Wavering Friendship (December 16th 1995)\n\nHowever, episode 158 Pegasus's Secret: the Boy Who Protects the Dream World\naired on the same date as the Super S Movie, and the titles suggest that it\nconcludes a multipart episode. This in conjunction with the fact that without\nthe aid of a V.C.R. it is harder to catch a new release of a television show,\nwhich only airs once at a certain time, than a movie which might run for a few\ndays or a week suggests to me that people would have probably watched the\ntelevision episode first. That is especially so since movies tend to be shown\nlater than television shows.\n\nFrom these datapoints I would assume you would want to watch it in this order\n\n 1. Watch all 46 episodes of the original Sailor Moon\n 2. Start Sailor Moon R: Watch 28 episodes of the season until overall series episode 76.\n 3. Watch the Sailor Moon R movie\n 4. Finish the remaining 17 episodes of Sailor Moon R until overall series episode 93\n 5. Start Sailor Moon S: Watch 23 episodes of the season until series overall episode 116\n 6. Watch The Sailor Moon S movie.\n 7. Finish the remaining 21 episodes Sailor Moon S until overall series episode 137\n 8. Start Sailor Moon Super S: watch 21 episodes of the season until overall series episode 158.\n 9. Watch the Sailor Moon SupersS movie\n 10. Finish the remaining 18 episodes of Sailor Moon S until episode 176.\n 11. Watch all 34 episodes of Sailor Moon Stars until the original series concludes with episode 200.\n\nThen you are done.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-06-13T22:46:56.723", "id": "53234", "last_activity_date": "2019-06-13T22:46:56.723", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "32564", "parent_id": "46847", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

The first is that\nJiraiya's body was lost into the ocean when pain destroyed his back with\nchakra rods; so its almost impossible for anyone to have acquired his DNA,\nexcept maybe they got it long before he died (or how Kabuto wanted to get his\nDNA).\n\nThe second fact is the way Kashin Koji's personality is displayed in the\nmanga, unlike Jiraiya, If i were to describe his personality, Kashin Koji\nseems more like a self centered, \"no nonsense\" type of person who is serious\nminded and very calculating. That is very contrasting to the fun loving, super\npervy and social Jiraiya that we all know.\n\nAlso, It seems very unlikely that Jiraiya had a son, but then again, since\nJiraiya was such a perv, it wont come as a surprise that the one and only ERO\nSENIN had some secret relationship and something along the lines resulted in\nKashin being born.\n\nNevertheless, the theory that i feel could be the closest is that Kashin Koji\ncould be a student of Jiraiya Sensei. Since Jiraiya was able to teach Naruto\nthe rasengan and summoning jutsu, it would make sense to hypothesize that he\nprobably taught other students too. The possibility that ERO SENIN had a\ncouple more students aside Mnato, Nagato and his crew, and Naruto is not a far\nfetched idea. Lets not forget that after Jiraiya recieved the Great Gamamaru's\nvision of the future, he decided to go around, traveling and looking for the\nso called \"child of prophecy\". He might have had a couple other students\nduring the years that he travelled around writing books.\n\nPS: My answers are based of assumptions so there's a possibility that I could\nbe really close, or completely wrong in the theory.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-10-30T03:13:01.450", "id": "49421", "last_activity_date": "2018-10-30T03:20:15.810", "last_edit_date": "2018-10-30T03:20:15.810", "last_editor_user_id": "42685", "owner_user_id": "42685", "parent_id": "46861", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 }, { "body": "\n\nIn the last chapter of the manga, we actually get a hint that ties Kashin Koji\nto Konoha, which makes things even more interesting and complicated at the\nsame time.

Unsurprisingly, it corroborates what I previously said. In a\nflashback while talking with All Might, Bakugo, speaking of Midoriya, says\n(emphasis mine):\n\n> The thing is, [Midoriya] doesn't think about himself. He never has. Even\n> now, with everything he can do, that still hasn't changed. It always\n> **freaked me out**. That's why I pushed him away. But as a kid, I **didn't\n> recognize my own weakness.** So I **bullied** him.\n\nAll Might further points out that Bakugo is so willing to train with Midoriya\nin order to make amends, though Midoriya likely believes Bakugo has nothing to\nmake amends for, not seeing the situation in the same way. These points might\nhelp to combat my own complaints that I levied in my answer below.\n\n## **Second Update**\n\nThere is an even better quote from Bakugo in the episode _Deku vs Class A_ ,\nwhen he apologizes to Izuku:\n\n> Our whole lives, I've looked down on you. You were quirkless--obviously way\n> behind me. But somehow, it felt like you were ahead of me too. I hated that.\n> I hoped you'd disappear. I didn't want to accept you. So I bullied you. To\n> make sure you'd stay away. I had to reject you. So that I could feel\n> superior. I needed to win--to beat you. And we both got into UA, where not a\n> single thing played out the way I wanted it to. Every day, I was forced to\n> see how strong you were. And how weak I was. Saying this out loud doesn't\n> change a thing. But that's how I feel... Izuku. I'm sorry for everything.\n\nAs can be seen, Bakugo's explanation here still matches up neatly with mine.\nHe initially views Midoriya as inferior. Due to Midoriya challenging this\nbelief when they were kids, Bakugo feels threatened. He goes into denial, gets\nangry, and bullies Midoriya--both as a means of pushing him away (because he\nrepresents something scary) and reaffirming his own assumptions of\nsuperiority. And it's only after Midoriya repeatedly proves Bakugo wrong that\nhe is forced to accept that his worldview is incorrect; this is when he\nfinally accepts Midoriya.\n\n## **Old Answer**\n\nThis is simple child politics. As someone without a quirk, Midoriya is an\noutlier (someone different, an outsider to the group) and Bakugo is a bully.\nThis bullying is exacerbated by two causes: First, Bakugo is egotistical; he\nis vocally conceited and aggressive; he is confident that he's got the\ngreatest quirk ever, and certainly better than all his classmates, and he lets\nthem all know it. Picking on the quirkless Midoriya is a natural way to affirm\nhis superiority and establish the pecking order, with him on top and Midoriya\non the bottom. Secondly, Midoriya has the absolutely ridiculous notion that he\nwants to be a hero even though he doesn't even have a quirk. Even adults like\nAll Might tell Midoriya it's not possible and he should just aim for being a\npolice officer, and kids sure aren't going to be as nice about it. Of course\nthey're going to bully him, and Bakugo, as the top of the hierarchy, is going\nto lead the pack. In his mind, Bakugo has to beat Midoriya down to let him\nknow his place. Midoriya's dream is actually a threat to Bakugo's world view,\nso it makes a lot of sense.\n\nAnd because it's human nature, any deviation from Bakugo's expectations is\njust going to make him angrier and make him bully Midoriya even harder. For\nexample, we see this during the times Midoriya tried to help Bakugo out as a\nkid. Bakugo gets angry, because why would he need help from a \"loser\" who is\nso far beneath him? Accepting that kind of help would establish Midoriya as\nhaving worth and would also diminish Bakugo's self-worth. And it is in these\nmoments when Bakugo's resentment and hatred of Midoriya sprouts and grows,\nfestering until it culminates in the explosions of anger we see during the\nseries when Midoriya proves he actually can be a hero, and thus has worth. At\nthis point, Midoriya becomes a serious threat to his world view, and the\nnatural human response is to lash out in anger and keep on denying reality.\n\nOn a side note, I think this question warrants mentioning another thing about\nBakugo. He's literally mean to everyone. Is there any point during the series\nwhere he isn't verbally abusive? While his classmates often don't seem to\nmind, he never tones it down, and he's so bad that the teacher's have to warn\nhim that he shouldn't be talking to people he's saving like that.\n\nA better question is why on earth Midoriya considers Bakugo to be his friend\nin spite of all of this. Midoriya could have some genuine admiration since\nBakugo shows leadership qualities and has a cool quirk, but honestly, this\nisn't a great explanation. I think this break from reality and suspension of\ndisbelief is better explained by this just being typical Shonen genre tropes,\nin always equating rivalry with friendship. (For example, see also Sasuke and\nNaruto, who the story suddenly declares to be \"best friends\" after being\nantagonistic towards each other for the entire original _Naruto_ series. And\nmore relevantly, Goku and Krillain in _Dragon Ball_ , where Goku is basically\ntoo dumb to realize Krillain is bullying him and somewhere along the way they\nbecome friends.) The main themes of the Shonen genre are friendship, hard\nwork, and victory, and things tend to be seen through these lenses. And the\nrival character is a staple of this. Even when they're an outright bully like\nBakugo, they somehow get designated as a friend.

[ { "body": "\n\nI can't give you a definite answer with regard to Goku, however with regard to\nVegeta, the answer would be a **No**. These would be my reasons for the same:\n\nFirst with regard to Vegeta:\n\n * Vegeta defeated Toppo who was a _Candidate to be a God of destruction_.\n * Toppo was implied to be weaker than Vermouth(The God of destruction of Universe 11), considering Jiren was recognized as the mortal who surpassed the Gods.\n * Jiren's official description indicated he was God of destruction tier and Whis himself stated that Jiren was at the level of a God of destruction.\n * Vegeta in his Super Saiyan Blue Evolution form, was completely overwhelmed by Jiren even while fighting alongside SSSJB + Kaioken*20 Goku and Android 17.\n * Jiren didn't show any signs of exhaustion, wasn't battle damaged and didn't sustain any injuries during their battle.\n\nBased on **Manga Chapter 28** , Beerus was indicated to be one of the\nstrongest Gods across the multiverse. I think it is fair to assume his\nstrength is relative to Base Jiren (Who has been confirmed in the Manga to be\nstronger than Vermouth and also vaguely in the anime by Whis in _Episode 110_.\nHence, I can conclude without a doubt based on this evidence that Vegeta isn't\nstronger than Beerus.\n\nWith Regard to Goku (Note: _Episode 131_ , made it clear that Goku couldn't\nutilise his Mastered Ultra Instinct Transformation through will. Hence, I will\nbe assuming that he's able to tap into it, either through will or being\noverwhelmed by Beerus like Jiren.):\n\n * There was this magazine Link at the Time of Episode 129 [here](https://twitter.com/GovetaXV/status/971668511868141573) where Beerus states that Goku might be stronger than him in Episode 129. However, I do not think this is the case.\n * When Goku utilises Ultra Instinct Omen, we see him being able to hold his own against Jiren but was still significantly weaker than Jiren based on their fight in _Episode 129_.\n * Once Goku mastered UI, he was completely able to overwhelm Jiren(Whose power is God of Destruction Tier).\n * We know this Jiren is stronger than Vermouth.

However, this was shown to be Quitella in the manga.\n * Since we cannot really gauge Beerus's power with Vermouth, I think its fair to classify them as God of destruction tier and conclude that Beerus's power is very relative to Vermouth(Not significantly stronger or weaker).\n * This would make Beerus relative to base Jiren who was completely overwhelmed by Mastered UI Goku.\n\nHence, I think it is fair to conclude that Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku and\nLimit Breaker Jiren surpassed God of destruction tier.

The origin of her name seems to be the goddess\nHecate of the underworld of Greek mythology.\n\nOriginally she was a matron god related to witchcraft and the moon, whose\nappearances have changed with time, she has been depicted as mistress of\nwitchcraft with three faces, a girl, and a mature woman, an elderly woman, and\na three-way road.\n\nIn Volume SIII of the light novel series, its revealed that she went by\nanother name in the past, [\"Nüwa\"\n(女媧)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%BCwa). Nüwa is the matron goddess of\nChinese mythology, who created humans. The myth 女娲补天 recounts her mending the\nheavens after one of the pillars holding up the sky and breaking the rope the\nconnected the earth and sky, tilting the direction the sun and moon moved in\nthe sky and changing the direction the rivers causing them to flow towards the\nocean on earth. In the myth, she is described as having the body of a snake, a\nhuman head, and the virtue of a divine being, carrying a builder's compass in\none hand.\n\nNow lets get back to the title at hand, 頂の座. 頂 refers to the highest point\noverhead. 座 here likely refers to star constellations, as in 星座. In other\nwords can refer to the highest overhead constellations, given her divine\norigins associated with the sky. Likely in reference to her high authority\namongst the Crimson Denizens. Additionally, her most powerful Unrestricted\nSpell is called Aster, which means Star in Greek. Marjorie Daw also refers to\nher as, 星の王女様, Princess of the Stars. The throne room of the Seireiden also\nhas a starry atmosphere.\n\nBut that's not all. 座 here likely has refers to a pedestal to sit on. Not just\nany pedestal, but one fit for a heavenly being, which may refer to traditional\n[sacred Shinto dances](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kagura) former refered to\nas 神座 (kamukura or kamikura). The distinction here is that shrine maidens,\nthrough sacred dance, become vessels to convey the will of God. The\ndistinction with Hecate is that the title may also refer to her as \"the\nhighest seat of god\", referring to her role as Priestess. After all she is the\nPriestess/Shrine Maiden to the Snake of the Festival, 祭礼の蛇, the Creator God of\nthe Crimson Denizens.

The anime duels never\nplayed the same as either the manga duels or the OCG/TCG which came\nafterwards. Yugi (Atem/Yugi) is much more skilled in the manga.\n\nOnly in the anime in the last episode, it was shoehorned-in last minute the\nmagical handwave to explain how he pulled the card he needed in the anime.\n\nThe anime added a whole metric ton of cards to his deck that never existed in\nthe comic, because Konami was trying to sell trading cards, which resulted in\nhis deck appearing to be a 300-card pile of crap that didn't have a single\nstrategy.\n\nIn the comic, Yugi's deck DID actually have a control-based strategy. Largely\nfocused on spellcasters, fiends, and warriors, his duels were much more\nconsistent and thought out, and he often won through knowledge of the rules,\nforethought, and clever plays. He never \"cheated\" in any of his duels. If he\ngot the card he needed, it was luck. The game, no matter what the version, is\n50% skill/50% luck.\n\nIn other words, Manga Yugi didn't need the plot armor: \"The Superpower!\"\nbecause he had a solid deck recipe and strategy.\n\nSo, the whole \"destiny draw\" thing was never mentioned in the comic, never\nshown in the comic, and no-one, especially Ishizu, never even theorized on it\nin the comic, because it never existed.\n\nYou could make an argument for Anime Atem because of his destiny draw that\nhe's not really skilled and it's just plot armor. But anime duels were always\nplayed with a skill/deck draw power combo. It's literally explained in the\nanime that if you have a close relationship with you deck, you will draw the\ncards you need more often, even going as far as knowing that your deck will\nsupply you with the card you need at a specific time.\n\nYugi/atem has a close relationship with his dark magician, kuriboh and dark\nmagician girl; they help him by making him draw the cards he needs.\n\nThis is called \"believing in the heart of the cards\" and is the most important\nplot point of the first anime series. Not just that, it's a skill as well. One\nthat can be trained/learnt. In GX for one episode, a guy actually trained in\nthe mountains to be able to draw any card he wanted. In GX, another guy had to\nsell his soul to the grim reaper to slash-draw.\n\nDark Yugi has lost three duels in the manga, and five in the anime along with\nYugi.

Most of the other Haibane seem more or less content with their\nignorance of things, but Rakka, the audience surrogate, is befuddled and\nconfused as to what exactly the Haibane are and repeatedly questions it\nthroughout the story. Rakka goes out of her way to try to unravel what is\ngoing on, checking out books from the library, or teaching herself the\nToga/Communicator sign language. The Communicator is so impressed by her\ninquisitiveness, that he even gives Rakka a job inside the mysterious Wall\nitself. Like Rakka, the show invites us the viewers to think more deeply about\nthe world it presents so we can piece things together ourselves.\n\nOkay onward to the answer, or at least what I think the answer is....\n\nDespite the wings and halos, the Haibane are not angels. The magical Wall\nsurrounding the town is said more than once to collect and store memories for\na time before releasing them. The wall not only collects memories, but also\ncollects the souls of children or teenagers who have died with some aspect of\ntheir life unfulfilled. The cocoon's function is to give these souls a new\nbody so they can get a second chance to fix whatever it was they couldn't fix\nin their previous life before the wall releases them to move on during their\n\"day of flight.\" We see this process play out with Kuu and later Reki. The\nHaibane are reincarnated human souls existing in a sort of temporary body\nthat's not quite human but close enough while they try to work out their\nissues. A cocoon appears whenever the wall captures a young unfulfilled soul\nand serves the necessary function of growing a body for that soul to inhabit.\nIt's not entirely clear why the cocoons grow in specific locations but all\nsuch locations are away from the \"normal\" humans, within the confines of the\nwall, and near other Haibane who presumably will know what to do when a cocoon\nappears and how to best take care of newly born Haibane.\n\nWell I hope that answers your question.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-04-22T00:46:41.450", "id": "57343", "last_activity_date": "2020-04-22T00:51:49.507", "last_edit_date": "2020-04-22T00:51:49.507", "last_editor_user_id": "43941", "owner_user_id": "43941", "parent_id": "46989", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nI don't know for certain, but my best guess is that it's a reference to a\nJapanese actress called [Maki\nCarrousel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maki_Carrousel \"Maki Carrousel\"), who\ngot a gender reassignment operation in Morocco in 1972. Back then, gender re-\nassignment surgery wasn't legal in Japan, so people wishing to have it\nperformed had to travel abroad, and the most common location for it as first\nwas Morocco. In fact, it wasn't for another [3\ndecades](https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2004/10/05/national/transsexual-\nwins-fight-to-alter-register/#.Wv1586Qvypo) that Maki Carrousel had her\nofficial documents labeled as female.\n\nI would suppose this gave the public perception of a connection between going\nto Morocco and changing one's gender. Put the fact that just prior to this\nline, Gintoki was just chasing his own testicle and runs into Agomi, the joke\n(while obscure to us that don't live in Japan) writes itself.\n\n(I found a pretty decent paper that goes into more detail on the history of\ntransgenderism in Japan\n[here](https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/9c80/b865c51694dd432312177110b20bc6f0b3f9.pdf)\nfor further reading, it's possible I've overlooked some more important\ndetails)\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-05-17T13:01:00.997", "id": "47069", "last_activity_date": "2018-05-17T13:01:00.997", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "18515", "parent_id": "47061", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]
