The main advantage of being a\nfirst generation vs a second generation is that first generations slowly\ndevelop the same power level as a dragon, not just the same type of magic.\n\nThe dragon force is the beginning of this process and is the main reason that\ndragon slayer magic is famous for being powerful.

How did this trend of super long\ntitles come about?**\n\nFrom what I was able to research, light novels and/or manga have long title:\n\n 1. **Because it helps the light novel/manga stand out**\n\nDue to the competition in the industry, authors have to find ways _to grab the\ninterest of readers_. One such way that has become popular is via long titles.\n\nIn an [interview by Kotaku](https://kotaku.com/japanese-manga-and-anime-\ntitles-are-too-damn-long-here-5907247) with Pan Tachibana, a light novel\nauthor, he explained his thoughts on the trend and how he chose his light\nnovel title. To quote,\n\n> At the very least, I wanted a title that was both attention-grabbing and\n> catchy, and at the same time would let the reader know what sort of story\n> they were getting.\n\nLong titles, while difficult to remember, do not really drive away readers. In\nfact, if the series become popular, _they would most certainly get nicknames\nfor easier remembering_ , as with the case of OreImo, Choyoyu or WataMote, to\nname a few.\n\n 2. **Because it can easily convey the plot to potential readers**\n\n_Not everyone has the time or pleasure to read or view plot summaries on the\nback of light novels and/or manga_. As such, long titles became a trend for\npeople to easily know what the plot is about and if it would be to their\nliking.\n\nAs mentioned by Tachibana,\n\n> There's no guarantee that someone will take the time to read the plot\n> description of a book, so if the title is long and has its own descriptive\n> meaning, it serves that purpose.\n\nDescriptive titles certainly help save time as compared to having to read a\nfull summary and as remarked\n[here](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2017-01-10/january-and-\nfebruary-light-novel-titles-are-really-weird/.110805), the longer and more\ndescriptive the title,\n\n> the better for time-pressed browsers to glean the plot at a glance.\n\n**Is this a recent thing?**\n\n[This website](https://www.otaquest.com/light-novel-long-titles-history/)\nshows data as to the number of light novels and their title length over the\nyears. Even before the 2000's, one can see that there are titles that reach\naround 30 characters or so. As such, it's not really a recent thing.

To be able to raise their power levels extremely high when a fight does break out.\n\nIt's never stated (as far as I know) whether suppressing your power level\nsaves a significant amount of energy. It's also never stated whether it takes\nenergy to do this, either. However, based on the fact that **the Z-Fighters go\nabout their day-to-day lives with suppressed power levels** , I'd argue it\ntakes little to no stamina to maintain this, and may potentially save your ki\nreserves (though this is speculation).\n\nI would argue, though, that **learning to suppress your power level gives you\na greater ability to manipulate your own ki** , and therefore raise and lower\nit as needed. For an example of this, look at Ginyu's fight with Goku.\n\nAccording to the\n[wiki](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Power_Levels), Goku's max\npower level when he fought the Ginyu Force **without** Kaio-Ken was\n**90,000**. It was 5,000 when supressed. He used this deceptively low power\nlevel to decimate the Ginyu Force, since they constantly underestimated him.\nHowever, when Captain Ginyu managed to take over Goku's body, his max power\nlevel was merely **23,000**. I would speculate that in addition to the fact\nthat this was a new body, **Ginyu had no training in manipulating his own\npower level** , so he could not even begin to approach Goku's normal strength\nwithout Kaio-Ken.\n\nIn summary, suppressing your power level has no notable disadvantages, and\nallows the user to both conceal their true strength and to utilize said\nstrength to its maximum potential.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-09-21T15:21:53.480", "id": "48865", "last_activity_date": "2018-09-21T15:21:53.480", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "41474", "parent_id": "48859", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 }, { "body": "\n\nThere are two different answers for this question.\n\n * With reference to Dragon Ball Z: It is used as a form of defense mechanism to avoid danger. If a fighter were to constantly release all his energy, it is more likely he would be detected and this technique does help in this fashion which we see multiple times. \n \nAnother reason for doing the same is that the Z fighters reside on earth.\nHence, energy control is indeed vital. When Goku and Gohan returned as SSJ's\nduring the cell saga, just a pat on the back from Goku was strong enough to\nsend Chi chi flying as he forgot to control his energy. Gohan kept on breaking\nutensils. These Saiyans are capable of destroying planets. If they stay\npowered up all the time, they would practically end up destroying every little\nthing they touch.\n\n * With reference to Dragon Ball Super: It was stated by Whis says to Vegeta that, immense ki control was necessary instead of vigorous training if he wanted to defeat Beerus in a fight. During the course of training between Goku and Vegeta, when they first attained SSJB for a brief second, Whis said that it was necessary so that the opponent wouldn't be able to detect your true level of strength. This makes sense as when Beerus first went to earth, Just a glare/ the pressure from his energy was able to keep Vegeta at Bay. Even when Whis goes to earth for the second time and Vegeta wanted to attack Whis, he felt an immense pressure that was holding him back. \n \nThis technique has shown to have multiple advantages. For instance, it is\nimpossible to detect the actual level of power during the course of combat.\nMeaning, unless you happen to be an extremely skilled/ experienced fighter, it\nis impossible to gauge how strong Super Saiyan Blue is as you'd only feel an\nimmense pressure from the transformation and can't sense it's level of power.\nAlso, better ki control allows Goku to suppress his power to fight against\nMultiple Opponents. For instance, we see Goku use a very suppressed SSJB\nKamehameha against Krillin in his SSJB Form. This wouldn't work in any of his\nSuper Saiyan forms as Goku wouldn't have as much control over his energy. We\nalso see Goku use powered up/ Suppressed version of the forms in a lot of\nbattles. \nFinally, it was stated by the Old Kai that using Kaioken along with a Super\nSaiyan transformation(Which lacks any ki control), would be deadly. Goku is\nable to achieve this in his Super Saiyan Blue form which revolves around\nmastery of ki control.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-09-27T05:33:12.757", "id": "48943", "last_activity_date": "2018-09-27T05:33:12.757", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "48859", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

For example, Eren's Titan did not\nhave the attribute for hardening until he ate the vial of serum for a\nhardening type Titan.\n\nRod Reiss was scared for the future of the Reiss family, and so made a serum\nfor a particularly large and powerful Titan type. In fact, I'd say dangerously\nlarge and powerful, probably against any advice he'd gotten from his family,\nsince it was so large it destroyed the chamber under the church. However, if\nHistoria had been the one to use it instead of him, she would probably have\nbeen of a slightly different size due to natural variation, and the fact that\nan individual person's Titan is of variable size depending on factors like how\ntired they currently are.\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-09-24T15:22:04.333", "id": "48898", "last_activity_date": "2018-09-24T15:22:04.333", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "3734", "parent_id": "48897", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 }, { "body": "\n\nThe serum, which Rod Reiss wanted to inject Historia with, is definitely a\npowerful one.

The Rod Reiss titan was abnormal. He wasn't even able to\nwalk properly and was dragging himself on the ground. Rod Reiss licked only a\nlittle bit of the serum. If he had injected the whole serum, he would be just\nlike a normal (dumb) but a powerful Titan. We have seen from the beginning\nthat the correct way to turn someone into a Titan is to inject them with the\nwhole serum (Eren's case, Rod Reiss family's case). Rod Reiss also wanted to\ninject the serum to Historia, but Historia wasted the serum so Rod Reiss had\nno option but to lick it from the ground.\n\nSo if the serum was properly inject to Historia, she wouldn't have become such\na huge abnormal Titan. She would've been a normal, a powerful Titan and\nwould've chosen to eat Eren (he was the easy target)\n\nThe reddit link you provided also agrees that\n\n> Wrongful injection of titan fluid is my theory.

When Levi confronted Kenny on the\nverge of death and asked why he hasn't injected himself with the serum\nconsidering the burns and the blood loss, Kenny replies\n\n> Yeah, I wonder. **If I don't inject it right** , I might end up like he did\n> ( _Rod Reiss_ ), **all messed up**...\n\n* * *\n\nSo to summarize all of this, Historia might have had the giant Titan form but\nnot as abnormal as Rod Reiss, she would be a controlled Titan.

According to the Wiki: \"Strongest Titan\" (サイキョウノキョジン\nSaikyō no Kyojin?) - The one Rod chose for Historia and which he ended up\ningesting\". What this means is that the vial that Rod reiss wanted Historia to\nuse was labelled strongest titan. Using that quote as a guide, it makes sense\nto hypothesize that the serum was specially made to make one of the strongest\ntitans ever. We can all agree that from the effect that the Rod Reiss abnormal\nhad on its surrounding, it makes sense to say that he got some heat related\nability that burned whatever he came in contact with. Also, In my opinion,\nsize is a big factor when determining how strong a titan is. Going with those\n2 facts, The \"strongest titan\" serum probably created a very big titan with a\nheat related ability.\n\nNow to your question, If Historia did get injected with the serum (In the\nright way, lets think about a perfect case scenario of her becoming a healthy\ntitan), I believe that there could have been 2 possibilities.\n\nGoing with my theory of what kinda titan the \"strongest titan\" serum could\ncreate, Historia would have been a titan just as big as the Rod Reiss abnormal\nbut instead she would be able to walk and run like normal titans (while being\npretty much stupid and mindless like average titans) and she would have been\nso big that the place would collapse and then burn from coming in contact with\nher (I'm trying to be as realistic as possible). PS: a very bad ending cause\neveryone pretty much dies.\n\nThe other possibility is that Rod reiss was very big only because he licked\nthe titan serum instead of injecting it into himself and therefore the little\namount of the serum did more harm than good. In this case I'm assuming the\n\"strongest titan\" would involve a normal sized titan with heat related\nabilities. If that were to be the case then when Historia gets injected, she\nwould be the same size as her half sister freida Reiss (be the average titan\nsize), but then she would have an extra ability of burning whatever she\ntouched (she's also mindless like a base titan). At this point I don't know\nhow they would have taken the plot if that were to happen.\n\nBut then the fact is, we don't have sufficient information to correctly state\nhow big she would have been but we can guess based on the limited data. I hope\nthis answers your question.\n\nsource: <http://attackontitan.wikia.com/wiki/Titan_injection> (scroll down\ntowards the trivia part to see where the Wiki talks about the labels on the\ntitan serums).

This\ncan be easily proved based on a few mentioned facts on the show.\n\n * It was stated that the potara fusion was permanent in case two kais were to fuse and not permanent for mortals. Hence, if a powerful attack were to be used against 2 Gods, they would have to defuse which would contradict the earlier statement.\n * In case of Fused Zamasu, which technically should be a permanent fusion, we don't see the characters defuse despite taking a very fatal attack from trunks spirit sword.\n\nYou could argue that the reasoning would only apply to a fusion between two\nmortals.\n\n * When Cumber launched the attack on Vegito, Vegito showed no signs of exhaustion and had absolutely no signs of damage on him. There was no reason for Vegito to not be able to tank that attack, considering the fact that Goku and Vegito alone were able to get up after taking physical attacks from Cumber and Goku was able to push his feet up in his SSJB Form.\n * If you also look at Kefla, during her match with Goku, Kefla was substantially exhausted and took a fully charged Kamehameha from Ultra Instinct Omen Goku. Kefla didn't defuse until the magnitude of the attack caused the potara earrings to break. This was UI Omen Goku using his fully charged attack against an exhausted Kefla and that was Cumber using a basic attack against a Vegito who wasn't really exhausted\n\nHence, the reason why the answer to your question is a yes is because, the\nmore powerful Cumber becomes and launches stronger attacks at Vegito, the more\nVegito would have to power up to Keep up and block/counter these attacks.\nHence, this would indirectly be responsible for shortening the fusion.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-09-28T01:39:51.640", "id": "48955", "last_activity_date": "2018-09-28T01:39:51.640", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "48950", "post_type": "answer", "score": 0 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nI think the original visual novel goes into more detail on this. Basically,\ntime travel in _Steins;Gate_ universe requires the use of a black hole. Sern\nis able to create them (though very tiny ones) using their large hadron\ncollider (this was theorized as possible in real life with CERN's LHC, though\nI'm not sure if that theory was ever proven or disproven.)\n\nSo basically, the explanation for the phone microwave was that by lucky\naccident, they created their own particle collider. Remember one of the key\ncomponents of their phone microwave was the large CRT television in the\ndownstairs shop, which they referred to as the \"lifter\" as in [ion-propelled\naircraft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionocraft). Cathode ray tube\ntelevisions function by shooting a beam of electrons at the screen, and thus\nthey handwaved it to be the same as the beams of particles used in the LHC\n(obviously it's not). Also, as to how this combined with the microwave to\ncreate mini Kerr blackholes was as I recall unclear.\n\nThe time-leap machine was not a separate machine, but an addition to the phone\nmicrowave, that converted memories into data that was sent instead of a normal\nSMS. This was even more handwave-y because there's no way all a person's\nmemories could be contained in the small number of bytes being sent by the\nphone microwave. They excused it by the blackhole physically \"compressing\" the\ndata, as I recall, which is a very fundamental misunderstanding of how data\ncompression even works. The black hole's \"compression\" effect was also what\nwas turning matter that went into the black hole into green goo.\n\nAnyways, that's my recollection, since I was unable to find very good\nresources on it, and I'm not about to replay the visual novel right now to jog\nthe memory.\n\n", "comment_count": 4, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-09-28T17:03:21.733", "id": "48961", "last_activity_date": "2018-09-29T02:21:24.300", "last_edit_date": "2018-09-29T02:21:24.300", "last_editor_user_id": "2516", "owner_user_id": "3734", "parent_id": "48953", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 }, { "body": "\n\n(Note: I originally posted this on\n[MAL](https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1727583). If I'm missing\nsomething, please point it out.)\n\nHow the Microwave works (chronological order):\n\n 1. The microwave works the same as SERN’s Large Hadron Collider. It accelerates protons at 99.99999% the speed of light. By doing so, they compress a mass into an extremely tiny space. This process creates a micro-singularity or a mini-black hole. [Note: John Titor’s and SERN’s (or even Okabe’s microwave) time machine uses two micro-singularities to distort the gravitational field around the machine enough to “replicate the effects of Kerr blackhole” thus making time travel possible.]\n\n 2. If you inject electrons into the micro-singularity to rotate it at an extremely high velocity, the resulting black hole exhibits what’s called Kerr Effect.\n\n 3. If you keep injecting electrons into the ring of the Kerr black hole’s singularity, the black hole will rotate faster and faster, and when its angular momentum exceeds a certain threshold the event horizon disappears, generating a naked singularity.\n\n 4. When the event horizon disappears (or naked singularity occurs), there’s no more reason for time and space to change places, meaning that you can enter a naked singularity without being trapped (killed even).\n\nNOTE: “Kurisu: On the other side of the event horizon, moving (your body)\nfreely though space-time becomes impossible, while moving freely through time\nbecomes possible.”\n\nLong story short: the microwave works the same way as the LHC (creation of two\nmicro-singularities, lifters, etc.) The visual novel mentioned the use of\nlifters to stabilize the immense mass of the singularity and gravitational\nfields, thus making it possible to travel through black holes without getting\ncrushed.\n\n* * *\n\nRead more below about how time travel works through Kerr black holes (not\ncompletely related to the anime).\n\nThe main obstacle to using black holes as a means of time travel is\nsingularities – an infinitely dense region of space-time from which nothing\ncan escape.\n\nThis is where Kerr black holes come in. The creation is due to (refer to a.).\nInstead of collapsing into the common, infinitely-dense singularity, it would\ncreate a ring of rotating neutrons, their centrifugal force preventing the\nsingularity from forming at all. This would, theoretically, allow safe passage\nthrough a wormhole within the black hole avoiding the aforementioned\nspagehettification and opening the way for a very interesting possibility:\n\nOn the other side somewhere out there, would be a “white hole”, ostensibly the\nopposite of a black hole, spewing out the contents that had been sucked in. It\nwould act as a bridge that would allow travel through both time and space or,\nperhaps, into another universe (worldline).\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-12-15T12:21:17.483", "id": "50099", "last_activity_date": "2021-10-10T16:11:37.110", "last_edit_date": "2021-10-10T16:11:37.110", "last_editor_user_id": "35679", "owner_user_id": "43910", "parent_id": "48953", "post_type": "answer", "score": 0 } ]

For starters, the person translating is usually a different\none, so they may not know the original intent the author had. Also, the\nlanguage is different, so things _may not_ carry over.\n\nBut this applies to translations of anything, not just manga.\n\nNow, a decent translator should be able to minimize the loss. One could:\n\n * translate the text to something that results in an equivalent reaction to the reader (e.g. the original text had a pun, so translating it literally would make it so the reader won't laugh at it, so instead we make a _different pun_ , and the reader still laughs) \n * put in notes that explains why the source language text is written the way it is\n * rewrite the text a bit\n * ...possibly other tricks\n * combination of above\n\nRegarding the example of the first one: there's this text that I'm translating\nthat relies on that \"おっぱ\" means _both_ \"breast milk\" and \"breasts\".

But this, again, loses something on what\nwas in the source text. On the other hand, if I were to put in a translator\nnote instead of that, that would have killed the pun (and therefore, the\nintended effect on the reader would be lost in translation), but would have\npreserved the meaning of the text.\n\nAnother example that often is problematic wrt translations to English is the\nmatter of pronouns: there are different first person pronouns depending on the\ngender, or whether it's formal or informal situation. One could make it hard\nto translate without putting in a translator note if a character in the source\nmaterial uses a different first person pronoun that the social protocol would\nexpect, and _other characters notice that_.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-09-28T19:31:04.283", "id": "48964", "last_activity_date": "2018-09-28T19:53:35.523", "last_edit_date": "2018-09-28T19:53:35.523", "last_editor_user_id": "3401", "owner_user_id": "3401", "parent_id": "48963", "post_type": "answer", "score": 4 }, { "body": "\n\nJapanese and English aren't even related languages, so their grammar is\ncompletely different, to the point where the way you would say something in\none language is literally impossible in another.\n\nFor example, Japanese is a very contextual language.

I've even seen a spoiler in the English translation\nof Pandora Hearts, where the Japanese language could be purposefully ambiguous\nby omission, but the English, by grammar necessity, revealed the identity of a\nparticular person from the get-go. Though perhaps a less literal translator\ncould have avoided that trap.\n\nAnother difference that causes translators alot of pain is keigo, or formal\nJapanese. Japanese makes very rigid distinctions in what kind of language you\nuse when you are speaking to a subordinate, a superior, or a peer, and it just\ndoes not come across in English, most of the time.\n\nEven simple nouns between languages of course don't have a consistent meaning,\nyet a common mistake many translators will make is to assume they do.

It seems to me he would develop some\nsimilar behavior to Boruto's but different because Minato didn't seem to be\njust not always at home, but rather just someone respected by many that made\nthem not want to disrespect his son. Though, Naruto actually seems grateful to\nhave parents, Hokage or not, unlike his son Boruto. Perhaps if Naruto\nsacrificed his life for the village, Boruto might actually not be so rude and\nirritating.\n\nPersonally, I wish this filler was canon because notice how most have\nsomething against Boruto because of his rude attitude towards Naruto. That is\nbecause we have grown with Naruto, we know what he went through and what he\nendured. Therefore, those are angry because we think Boruto should treat\nNaruto better because of all he went through. Though with no series about\nMinato, if the filler was canon and developed into a series, the majority\nwould most likely side with Naruto and his beliefs because we know nothing\nmuch of Minato at all and we didn't experience her hardships through a screen\nmuch.\n\nPossibly, the creators thought Naruto's parents' deaths were needed and the\nNine-tails to be sealed in him because the moral they wanted to get through is\nto never give up and always keep trying no matter how much anybody rejects you\nfor who you are. People (in the filler) only respected Naruto because his\nfather was the Hokage.\n\nI really don't like that Kushina and Minato had to die, which is why in my\nopinion the author should've come up with something that would make things\nbetter. Though remember, as brought to attention, the parents are usually\nkilled off for a hardship for the protagonist to have to endure and for them\nto try to get stronger despite not growing up with parents, or just losing\nthem. A way to make them feel that even though something sad greatly impacted\ntheir life, doesn't mean they shouldn't strive to be the best they can be. It\ngives them great determination which makes the main character who they are.\n\nNow, usually, it's the antagonist that kills off the parent. This fills the\nprotagonist with rage and eagerness to avenge who was most dear to them.\nNaruto wouldn't have the same anger he did against Tobi then he would at the\nfact that he is the reason his parents died. It gives the protagonist a reason\nto work hard and be the best they can be. (of course not all of them). I\nstrongly agree though, for me, it's angering me that the parents have to be\nkilled off because for me seeing Minato and Kushina raise Naruto would make me\ntreasure the show more than anything.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-06-22T23:21:40.373", "id": "57954", "last_activity_date": "2022-11-25T19:03:49.483", "last_edit_date": "2022-11-25T19:03:49.483", "last_editor_user_id": "2516", "owner_user_id": "53972", "parent_id": "49006", "post_type": "answer", "score": -3 }, { "body": "\n\n# Guess: Moms die, so imouto's 'step-up' to take their mothers' places.\n\nCheck\n[this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Kaguya_sama/comments/viz40g/2nd_imouto_parallel_in_kaguyasama_and_tqq_is_it_a/)\nout for example:\n\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/qNOXZ.png)\n\nThe 1st 2 anime that come to mind for this question are The Quintessential\nQuintuplets and Kaguya-sama.

The imouto's can have a more important role in caring for the family besides being cared for by the family if exactly 1 of the parents are dead.

In the manga (for what would be upcoming s4 onwards in the anime), it's much more apparent why mom instead of dad is chosen. But it's for very different reasons than the above.

[ { "body": "\n\n_**Short Answer**_ : [Kaguya\nOtsutsuki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kaguya_%C5%8Ctsutsuki) was very\npowerful but her speed was just slightly above average. During her\n[battle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reSSnNOGX5g) with Sasuke and Naruto,\nall she mainly did was hop from dimension to dimension, use a bunch of [Kekkai\nMoras ](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kekkei_M%C5%8Dra) and absorb their\nattacks with her Rinnengan. **Note that she is NOT faster than Raikage Ai when\nhe uses the Lightning release chakra Mode** to enhance his speed and reaction\ntime. The only reason why Raikage could dodge it is cause he combined 2 Jutsus\nsimultenously in order to detect and flicker away from the flames. Kaguya on\nthe other hand, was not fast enough to dodge the flames. However, she was\nskilled enough to quickly absorb them before they did enough damage on her.\n\nSo to answer your question, the speed of Amaterasu was never increased, She\njust was not fast enough to dodge the flames like Raikage did.\n\n_**Super Long explanation:**_\n\nThe Amaterasu is a very fast jutsu in terms of how long it takes before it is\ncast. Unlike other jutsu, all it requires is that you see the person you want\nto hit and then [Black Flames](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Amaterasu) are\nignited at the focal point of the target! This means that as long as the user\ncan see you, the Amaterasu is most likely going to hit. In order to dodge an\n**\" accurately-aimed\" Amaterasu**, I believe the persons speed must be pretty\nclose to that of light because the focal point of vision is directly what your\neyes see from the refraction of light. (Its a completely different scenario if\nthe user is partially blind and can't aim well.) [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/WVKXy.jpg)\n\nIn the case of Raikage, he used 2 jutsu's simultaneously in order to dodge\nsasukes Amaterasu. The first one is the lightning release chakra mode. During\nhis battle with Sasuke, Raikage was wraped in lightning during the entire\nfight and once sasuke started to use the mangekyou Sharingan, Raikage\ninstinctively started using way more chakra for the [Lightning Release Chakra\nMode](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Lightning_Release_Chakra_Mode) in order to\nincrease his already heightened speed and reaction time.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/CySI5.jpg)\n\nWith enhanced speed and reaction time, Raikage was able to immediately react\nto sasuke's amaterasu, he then used the ShunShin no jutsu ( Lightning release\n[Body Flicker technique](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Body_Flicker_Technique)\n). Since he combined the 2 jutsus perfectly, he was able to instantly react to\nand swiftly move away from the flames ( _ **all within a matter of seconds,\nsimply mindblowing lol**_ ).

Tomura\nShigaraki is the Grand-Son of the 7th Torch bearer of One for All, ([Nana\nShimura](http://bokunoheroacademia.wikia.com/wiki/Nana_Shimura) who passed her\nquirk to All Might.)\n\nHowever, from what the anime has showed us, Tomura's quirk is of an entirely\ndifferent classification, (His quirk decays, which isn't a power type when\ncompared to one for all). Also, Tomura's father did not inherit \"One for All\".\nFrom that alone, I'd say it's not possible for children to be born with one\nfor all. This is mainly because I don't believe any sane parent would want to\npass on such a \"powerfully catastrophic\" quirk to their unborn child. We all\nknow that **_the \"One for all\" quirk has negative effects on users whose\nbodies aren't prepared and capable of containing the backlash of its power._**\n![Dangers of the quirk\\[1\\]](https://i.stack.imgur.com/yiCC2.png)\n\nFrom the tournament Arc, the dangers of one for all shows itself. We see\nMidoriya destroy and batter his body (all because he isn't capable of\ncontaining the effects of the power at 100%). However, Midoriya had worked\nvery hard for the last year, training his body to be able to withstand the\nquirk.\n\nImagine what would happen if a baby unknowingly used \"one for All\" quirk for\nthe first time, (Ikr, it wont be a good sight at all). The fact is that\n**_children who are born with quirks, usually have to develop their quirks to\nbecome strong, but One for All is the total opposite of that, the user will\nfirstly have to develop their body,_** so they could receive and contain a\nquirk that has already been developed by its previous Torch bearers.\n\nTherefore, before a current torch bearer passes on a quirk. They would usually\nensure that whoever they want to pass it on to is worthy of such a quirk, and\nhas also put in the effort (so that when they get it, their bodies will be\ncapable to handling the backlash from using such a powerful quirk.)\n\nSo to answer your question, I believe that **_its actually possible to\nwillingly pass on the quirk to an unborn child who is inside a woman that has\n\"One for All\". However, the chances of that happening will forever be very\nlow,_** because of how dangerous it will be for an unprepared child to wield.\nNot to mention, the problems that could arise if \"All for one\" realizes the\nquirk is wielded by a child.\n\nAlso, it seems that your not getting the concept of One for all. **_There\ncan't be multiple users of One for all at a given time._** Once a current\ntorch bearer passes on the quirk to someone else, his embers start to\ndrastically decline. (Think of One for All like a torch of flames), So sooner\nor later the person who passed the quirk on will run out of that spark, and\nthen will no longer have the ability to use one for all. What i mean by this\nis once you pass on the \"One for All quirk\" you no longer have the quirk. All\nthats left is a small portion of the remnants of the quirk that your body has\ngotten accustomed to, but then you will use up that leftover power and then\nnot be able to do it in time.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-10-06T17:39:59.957", "id": "49070", "last_activity_date": "2018-12-06T03:25:31.810", "last_edit_date": "2018-12-06T03:25:31.810", "last_editor_user_id": "42685", "owner_user_id": "42685", "parent_id": "49067", "post_type": "answer", "score": 4 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nAnswer found on\n[reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/dbz/comments/1avkcw/dbz_there_are_thousands_of_saiyans_left_in_the/).\nI take no credit in writing this. I just found out that both the question and\nthe answer in this link answers this question.\n\n * **Argument**\n\n> Throughout DBZ there is a running gag of Vegeta saying \"I am the Prince of\n> all Saiyans\" despite us only seeing a handful in series and movies (Goku,\n> Bardock, Borgos, Broly, Fasha, King Vegeta, Nappa, Paragus, Raditz, Tarble,\n> Tora, Turles, Vegeta, Bulla, Gohan, Goten, Pan, Trunks). Along with the\n> notion that the Saiyan race is pretty much extinct except for the main\n> characters. But this is wrong and not plausible given what the Saiyans' role\n> was under Frieza.\n>\n> So the Saiyan-Tuffle war ends in the Age of 730. At this point in their\n> history the Saiyans are just brutes with no technology until the Arcosians\n> arrive and trade technology in exchange for them conquering planets. Shortly\n> after seeing how good Saiyans are at fighting/killing they are annexed under\n> Frieza and his Planet Trade Organization in the Age of 731 and become part\n> of his military. And let’s assume it takes about a year for the planet to be\n> fully developed as seen in the flashbacks and in the movie Bardock- The\n> Father of Goku. So the planet is all up and running in the Age of 732.\n>\n> So Frieza has the Saiyans doing his dirty work conquering planets across the\n> universe for himself or for sale. His need/demand/want is so great that the\n> Saiyans send their babies to planets with weak inhabitants to conquer. This\n> continues until Frieza destroys the planet in the Age of 737. So for 5 years\n> the Saiyans are sending their young to the ends of the universe for Frieza.\n> Now the only question is how many are being sent daily. In the movie\n> Bardock- The Father of Goku you can see a long hallway where the space pods\n> are where the babies are sent out. From the scene you can see ~14 pods from\n> the two sides and we can safely assume [the hallway has\n> more](https://i.stack.imgur.com/e9Nxf.jpg). And in the movie Broly- The\n> Legendary Super Saiyan you get a better look at the nursery and you see [~8\n> beds](https://i.stack.imgur.com/hawW1.png) with babies and again we can\n> assume there are more.\n>\n> So the Saiyans had no problems sending their babies to these planets because\n> any babies that were decently strong would stay on the planet to be raised\n> as elites. The weak are sent away with no exception e.g. Tarble was sent\n> away for being too weak despite being from Royal blood. In episode 124 \"Z\n> Warriors Prepare\" King Vegeta says to Vegeta \"The weakest of our people are\n> sent to planets far away, where they face no threat from our enemies\" while\n> standing in front of a window pointing out the spacepods (carrying babies)\n> leaving the planet. In the scene you can see [~60 spacepods\n> leaving](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqyMBw3TRpY). And let's assume this\n> happens at least once a week and that Planet Vegeta's year is similar to\n> Earth since the whole series refers to time the same way the Earth does.\n>\n> So considering all this you have:\n>\n> 60 Saiyans sent out weekly every year over 5 years\n>\n> 60x52x5 = 15600 Saiyans in the Universe\n>\n> And what happens after Frieza destroys Planet Vegeta? He lies about what\n> happened to cover his tracks telling people that a comet destroyed the\n> planet. He doesn't bother hunting down and killing the remaining Saiyans\n> because he killed the strongest of them on the planet with the exception of\n> Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz. The weakest ones are of no threat to him and\n> scattered across the universe (except Goku). And everyone pretty much\n> accepts this, even Raditz is under the impression that is how things\n> happened stating in the second episode \"3 years ago, our planet was\n> destroyed by meteorites\". And of the Saiyans that were sent some were\n> female, since all Saiyans love to fight and women did help conquer planets\n> as well (Fasha a female Saiyan was on Bardock's team). The Saiyan race is\n> alive and well, just separated by a distance.\n\n * **Opinion**\n\nI think there are definitely more Saiyans around but I imagined after Frieza\ndestroyed the planet, teams were sent to find remnants of the race. Like when\nthey defeated Bardock's group but looking for lost Saiyan children instead.\nSome were found, some were not (like Goku).\n\nThere are definitely more out there but most are probably too distant to come\nacross. It does leave things open ended for more Saiyan encounters.\n\nI would also think that there are a lot of hybrids out there. I have a feeling\nsaiyans weren't taking a moral high ground about rape.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-10-08T10:14:34.073", "id": "49090", "last_activity_date": "2023-04-30T16:36:59.740", "last_edit_date": "2023-04-30T16:36:59.740", "last_editor_user_id": "19307", "owner_user_id": "20346", "parent_id": "49083", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 }, { "body": "\n\n## Short Answer\n\nWe should probably assume there are no more Saiyans in Universe 7 until\nToriyama (or someone else) decides to pull more out of a hat. [Vegeta's\nbrother](https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Tarble) was a huge stretch. He was\nattested to nowhere previously, up until _The Return of Son Goku and Friends_\nspecial. The same can be said of [Bulma's\nsister](https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Tights), who first appeared in\n_Jaco the Galactic Patrolman_. These were retcons that clashed with previous\ncanon. Nevertheless, these stories are now canon, and these two are now both\nseen or referenced in _Dragon Ball Super_ , so we must accept them as canon.\nAnd there is at least a somewhat plausible explanation for why Tarble is alive\n(though not for why Vegeta never mentioned him), as seen\n[here](https://en.dragon-ball-\nofficial.com/news/01_1428.html#:%7E:text=Tarble%20is%20a%20Saiyan%20from,banished%20to%20a%20distant%20planet.):\n\n> Tarble is a Saiyan from Planet Vegeta and, shockingly, Vegeta's younger\n> brother. At a young age, he was deemed unsuited for combat and conquest by\n> King Vegeta and banished to a distant planet. Mild-mannered and possessed of\n> a soft demeanor, Tarble has the polar-opposite personality to that of his\n> arrogant and battle-hungry older brother.\n\n## Canon Issues\n\nThe destruction of the Saiyan race is important in the original fight against\nFrieza. Goku and/or Vegeta say stuff about the Saiyans having paid for their\nsins, and how Goku will be the only Saiyan left when Vegeta dies, so he has to\navenge them against Frieza. And we are told in no uncertain terms, from the\nvery start of _Dragon Ball Z_ , that only Goku, Vegeta, Raditz, and Nappa\nsurvived the purge.\n\nAs far as _Dragon Ball Minus goes_ , I reviewed the page for it on the Fandom\nWiki and saw some panels of it; it would seem that the order to return to\nPlanet Vegeta reached even children:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/rtpvK.png)\n\nIt probably wouldn't have been typical for them to ignore the order in the\nmanner Vegeta does. Whether they got back in the one month time limit Frieza\ngave, they would probably still get eliminated when they showed up.\n\nAdditionally, this seems to have canon discrepancies. I noticed Goku wearing\nSaiyan armor in a picture, but the\n[Wiki](https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Minus:_The_Departure_of_the_Fated_Child)\ndoes a better job at listing out some additional details I didn't notice, so\nI'll quote it:\n\n> The manga's depiction of Goku greatly contrasts to the TV special Dragon\n> Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku. In this story, Goku's age at the time\n> of Planet Vegeta's destruction is different than in other media: he is three\n> years old, in contrast to a few days old. In Minus, Goku is also clothed in\n> Saiyan gear, while in other depictions he isn't. These changes are likely in\n> part due to Bardock - The Father of Goku being the kind of story Akira\n> Toriyama \"absolutely wouldn't draw\".\n\nAt the end of the day, _Dragon Ball_ stepped all over its own canon, which is\npretty typical for a long-running series. And there were definitely tonal\nshifts from _Dragon Ball_ to _Dragon Ball Z_ and then again to _Dragon Ball\nSuper_ , as well as many retcons. I don't think we can conclude anything; we\njust have to wait and see whether the story decides more Saiyans need to be\npulled out of that hat and put into the story (maybe even grab a whole planet\nof them from another\n[universe](https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Universe_6)).\n\n## List of Saiyans Known to Have Survived the Purge\n\n**Definitely Canonical** (in no particular order, and crossed out if they are\nno longer alive)\n\n 1.
