This would make it hard for the challengers to gain\nsignificant resources to overtake other races.\n\nConsidering that the pledges are aiming to stop violence, unbalanced bets\nwould lead to further disagreements and the races would turn violent instead\nof playing a game. Hence, the third pledge is necessary to maintain fairness.\n\nNow, the 4th pledge then mentions that as long as the items are considered to\nbe equal in value (i.e. does not violate Pledge 3), they may be anything.\nConsidering that the Ten Pledges are always taken in conjunction, it is indeed\n_redundant_ to reiterate that Pledge 3 should not be violated. However, this\ndoes not lead to any major errors as far as I can see.

As far as I know, _there were no\npeople mentioned that have multiple chakra nature affinities, only those who\ncan wield multiple ones_. The existence of the litmus paper test in itself is\nproof that people only have one nature affinity.

[ { "body": "\n\nDragon ball generally follows a pattern where the antagonist tends to be >\nthan or around the level of the protagonist. If you go back to _Dragon Ball Z_\n, Super Buu is stronger than Kid Buu and Buuhan and Butenks are way stronger\nthan Super Buu. However, Kid Buu was the final antagonist.\n\nThe antagonist's power is generally adjusted to be comparable to the\nprotagonist they are fighting. Since Ultimate Gohan is stronger than Super\nSaiyan 3 Goku, they had him fight Super Buu. The same goes for Vegito, who\nfought the strongest iteration of Buu. Just like you said, despite Beerus\nbeing stronger than the rest of the antagonists after, they did use a greater\namount of power against Goku and co.\n\nHowever, after watching the movie, I personally believe there is sufficient\nreason to believe that **Jiren** might be stronger( At least the version of\nhim where he releases his dormant power). There are several reasons why I\nbelieve this to be true:\n\n * The Tournament of Power emphasizes the fact that Goku surpasses the Gods and manages to overcome Jiren. This was constantly emphasized during the course of the tournament while he was Master UI. Jiren was able to go toe to toe with this iteration of Goku and also come out on top in terms of raw power. When the trailers and initial summary of the movie first came out, it was stated that Goku was almost reaching the level of a God and Vegeta was catching up(This makes sense because it was established at the end of DBS that Goku does not have access to Ultra Instinct anymore).\n * Broly as a Super Saiyan was no doubt stronger than Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Vegeta. However, there isn't a long enough fight to determine the exact difference. Goku and Vegeta would have definitely grown stronger compared to the T.O.P. However, they were using forms 20 times stronger against Jiren who was nowhere near full power while fighting these two. Also, Golden Frieza managed to last against an agitated Broly who was looking to kill. He barely lasted for a second against Jiren who took him out with a glare and a single punch\n * In the tournament of power, it was more or less implied that the only way to defeat Jiren was for Goku to master Ultra Instinct. If Goku and Vegeta could've defeated Jiren with fusion, it would break the entire plot and the entire struggle against Jiren wouldn't make sense. This is because Vegeta had absolutely no problem working with Goku and doing everything to win. It was stated that Fusion was allowed and they both saw a potara fused a character a while back. Not even Whis or anyone stated Goku and Vegeta would be able to win this fight fused. So I do believe Jiren at the time was stronger than Vegito, hence Gogeta(Definitely when he releases his dormant power). SSJ Broly had a disadvantage against SSJ Gogeta. LSSJ Broly could barely hold his own against SSJB Gogeta.\n * Finally, at the end of the movie, Goku compares Broly's power to that of Beerus. However, Goku and Vegeta mentioned that Jiren was the strongest they ever faced when they fought him, implying Jiren was > Beerus.(Goku says a suppressed Jiren's punch was the strongest he's ever faced, Vegeta says he hasn't felt a level of energy like this before). The V-Jump magazine had an article where Beerus comments that Goku has surpassed him after achieving UI, which you can see [here](https://twitter.com/Herms98/status/971662109892263936). \n * In the Battle of Gods arc, SSJG Goku was said to be stronger than Vegito. If you compare the difference between SSJ3 and SSJG, the power is significant indeed. However, the difference in power is a lot less if you were to compare SSJB + Kaioken * 20 To UI Omen, the difference in power is a lot more significant, and Mastered Ultra Instinct is substantially stronger than the two. Since the potara multiplier is fixed, I believe MUI Goku would still be stronger\n\nIn conclusion, the next arc of the manga states that Goku was still attempting\nto master UI as he tells Vegeta that he hasn't been able to tap into the\ntransformation even once after the tournament of power. So if the series were\nto resume, Goku might most likely tap into this form against a stronger\nAntagonist than even Jiren and Broly. There is promotional material about\nBroly's strength claiming how he is one of the strongest and they say his\nlevel of destruction might be greater than that of a God of Destruction. The\nsource for this can be seen [here](https://dragonballsuper-france.fr/dragon-\nball-super-broly-une-puissance-destructrice-au-dela-de-celle-dun-dieu-de-la-\ndestruction/). However, there is no legitimate valid source indicating Broly\nto be stronger than Jiren. DBS did something new in the series by having Goku\nachieve two transformations in 1 arc and at the end of the arc, not be able to\ntap into it anymore. I think this on its own is sufficient evidence as to how\nOver Powered this iteration of Goku is and why the plot decided to take this\ntransformation away before bringing characters even stronger. Plus, Whis's\ntraining is mainly focused on making them achieve the form. If Goku did\nachieve it, he would technically have completed Whis's training which is\nnecessarily not the case based on the beginning of the movie.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-12-17T07:47:11.277", "id": "50117", "last_activity_date": "2021-12-15T14:12:01.620", "last_edit_date": "2021-12-15T14:12:01.620", "last_editor_user_id": "62199", "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "50116", "post_type": "answer", "score": 3 }, { "body": "\n\nThere is no conclusive evidence in my opinion but, I think it's Jiren because\nof this mainly, the Broly movie apparently takes place shortly after the\ntournament of power, and Freezer was able to resist being beaten by Broly for\n1 hour when in the tournament of power Freezer was seriously damaged by Toppo,\nwho is at least 2 levels behind Jiren full power (Toppo is weaker than Jiren\nnot using full power).\n\nAside from that, Goku thinks Broly \"might be stronger than Beerus\" which in my\nopinion means he's close to Beerus's power (since Goku isn't sure) when Jiren\nis said to be stronger than gods of destructions when Jiren was almost a match\nfor Goku mastered ultra instinct (a state to which all the gods of\ndestructions almost vowed to, they stand up when Goku transformed as a sign of\nrespect or admiration, like admitting it was a state superior to them, Beerus\nhad to ask Wiss about Goku's power because it was beyond his comprehension,\nBeerus sweated to Goku Ultra Instinct Omen which was almost a match for Jiren\nnot in full power and the other gods of destructions were surprised, etc.)\n\nEventually, we could get an answer in some of the Dragon Ball Heroes versions\nwhich wouldn't be an answer for the canonical universe, but an answer for one\nof the Dragon Ball versions.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-03-25T01:25:09.610", "id": "51264", "last_activity_date": "2021-10-14T08:05:43.643", "last_edit_date": "2021-10-14T08:05:43.643", "last_editor_user_id": "62199", "owner_user_id": "3028", "parent_id": "50116", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nThe fight between Luffy and Katakuri had many factors in play and has most of\nthe fandom divided over its results. It wasn't a death match in the true\nsense, despite both sides struggling quite a bit. A lot of viewers are of the\nopinion that Katakuri was not truly defeated at the end, but rather chose to\nview Luffy as an equal and let him go.\n\nIn terms of raw power and control over the Devil Fruit, Katakuri outclassed\nLuffy by far. Even if Luffy could barely match the explosiveness of the attack\nwith Gear Fourth, this places immense load on his body as Rayleigh mentions in\nearlier flashbacks. This is also why it comes with a time out.\n\nIn addition, Katakuri's Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) is at a level\nwhere he is able to see some moments into the future. This is what made him\nnext to impossible to defeat.\n\nHowever, there are always conditions associated with such extreme powers.

Katakuri could have easily knocked him out in this\nduration had he not escaped.\n\nThus, the results of the fight can be said to be more of a draw with Katakuri\ndeciding to let Luffy be for now (since he considered him an equal by the end\nof the fight, and possibly realized that he would have to expend a lot of his\npower to deal with Luffy due to him never backing down), than a clear victory.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-12-18T02:34:26.310", "id": "50126", "last_activity_date": "2018-12-18T02:34:26.310", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "27657", "parent_id": "50121", "post_type": "answer", "score": 8 }, { "body": "\n\n 1.

[ { "body": "\n\nI'm going to preface this with a note that I've just looked a little into\nrabb.it's model, so my understanding will be imperfect. However, it looks like\nit's built around a particular interpretation of the laws that allows for a\ncertain amount of wiggle room.\n\nFirst off, it is definitely legal for you to get a few friends to come over to\nyour house and join you in watching, for example, My Hero Academia on\nCrunchyroll. It is definitely _not_ legal for you to book a local cinema and\nsell 100 tickets for people to watch you stream the same show on the big\nscreen. Somewhere between the two is a legal grey area that would earn two\nteams of lawyers a decent amount of money to chart. So rabb.it offers what is\nessentially a virtual version of the former - you can get about 20 people into\nthe room watching the show together and sharing the experience.\n\nIt also looks like they use a peer-to-peer client, which means that none of\nthe streamed content ever goes to _their_ server. This helps protect them from\nthe kind of issues Youtube has, although it's not a perfect protection (before\ntorrents, there were a few major P2P clients for sharing content that got shut\ndown because they weren't considered to be doing enough to protect against\nsharing copyrighted files).\n\nSo the main things that allow rabb.it to do what it does (and this is based on\n_interpretations_ of IP law, which mean that if taken to court with the right\njudge and lawyers this could change):\n\n * Limited room sizes\n * No hosting of content\n * Requires someone to actually have an account on the streaming site\n * Live stream (not providing a download)\n\nThat's not to say that someone couldn't get around those things, but in doing\nso they would probably be in violation of rabb.it's terms of service, although\nI'm not sure what they would do in that instance. It's also not obvious (to\nme) how they prevent people from using the service to get around geoblocking,\nwhich could cause them some problems at some point.\n\n", "comment_count": 4, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-01-06T23:45:54.867", "id": "50335", "last_activity_date": "2019-01-06T23:45:54.867", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "8843", "parent_id": "50334", "post_type": "answer", "score": 18 }, { "body": "\n\nBased upon what I have seen browsing the website, the short answer is that\nRabbit is not _allowed_ to do it. I suspect that _they are trying to get away\nwith it_ for the same reasons YouTube gets away with hosting infringing\ncontent: Internet service providers, such as webhosts, are protected by\nD.M.C.A. safe harbor provisions codified into [U.S.C. Title 17\n§512](https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#512).\n\nThese provisions exist so that webhosts and other such internet service\nproviders are not held liable for the infringing actions of end users without\ntheir knowledge. The internet service provider is required to remove the\ninfringing content upon discovery, and document a procedure for removing any\ninfringing content at the copyright holder's request.\n\nThe reason I suspect this is based on [Rabbit's terms of\nservice](https://www.rabb.it/tos) which has specific provisions against using\nthe service for the hosting of infringing content, under section II. User\nContent, subsection A. Non-infringing Content Sharing, which includes a\nD.M.C.A. takedown notification procedure. Here are some especially noteworthy\nexcerpts:\n\n> The Company Service offers Users the opportunity to share content with each\n> other. Company encourages such sharing but prohibits copyright infringement\n> or the infringement of other intellectual property rights through the\n> Company Service.\n\n> Content Removal Policy.

If a rights holder believes that User Content has been copied in a way\n> that constitutes copyright infringement, such rights holder or its agent or\n> designee should provide our copyright agent with the following information\n> in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act:\n\nNotice that under [How Does Rabbit Work](https://letsrabbit.zendesk.com/hc/en-\nus/articles/115003589767-How-does-Rabbit-work-) section of the F.A.Q. they\nclaim:\n\n> Rabbit allows you to share content with friends, video and audio chat, and\n> text chat within a Rabbit room. You can share content with a virtual browser\n> (Rabbitcast) or by sharing a Chrome tab using our Share on Rabbit extension.\n\nBasically, they seem to be claiming that since the users are sharing the\ncontent, it is not their fault if their services are misused.\n\nThat much would probably be fine, but unfortunately for Rabbit, they are not\nin perfect compliance with the law because [they are advertising their service\nfor the express purpose of sharing television shows and\nmovies](https://www.rabb.it/about) for which an end user is unlikely to own\ndistribution rights, so it could be construed that it is at their direction\nthat the infringement is taking place. If such is the case, then they are not\neligible for U.S.C. Title 17 §512 protection. Advertising services in such a\nway is what got Grokester in trouble in [M.G.M. Studios, Inc v. Grokester,\nLtd.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MGM_Studios,_Inc._v._Grokster,_Ltd.)

Instead,\nhe gets his magic power from magic items, primarily the large number of staves\nhe carries on his back. It is possible that he obtains these items from\nEarthland magic shops, however three things point to this not being the case:\n\n 1. The magic shop we see in the first episode only carries novelties, such as something to change the color of clothing. There are powerful lacrimas later in the series, so we can't draw a definite conclusion on whether the shops would have the powerful sort of things Mystogan uses.\n 2. Edolas's magic items are more advanced than Earthland's. When Natsu's group went to Edolas, they marveled at some of the things they saw and mentioned this. Edolas even has a mechanized dragon. \n 3. Mystogan's magic pills. These unusual pills allow Earthlanders to use their magic in Edolas. There wouldn't seem to be a reason for these to even exist in Earthland, so it would be strange if shops were selling them.\n\nThese three reasons lend support to the idea that Mystogan at least partially\ncreates his magic items himself using his Edolas knowledge. And if this is the\ncase, it might explain why his magic power is so great even though he has no\ninnate magic.\n\nOn the other hand, Jellal was able to imitate Mystogan's magic at the Grand\nMagic Games, so maybe one can obtain those magic items in Earth Land. Though\nif so, it begs the question why there aren't more S-class wizards. Jellal's\nimitation could possibly be explained by Earthland's magic advancing in the\nseven years, or by Jellal somehow obtaining the staves used by Mystogan.\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-01-08T17:16:10.917", "id": "50352", "last_activity_date": "2019-01-08T17:16:10.917", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "19307", "parent_id": "50350", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]

Mihawk is likely a better swordsman than anyone in One Piece\nbut that doesn't not mean he is stronger than that Gorosei in any other way.\n\nThere are several things to note:\n\n 1. Mihawk being the strongest swordsman is as much of a title as a display of his ability. If there is a character who is a stronger swordsman, it must be that his ability is underestimated or not known to the world at large. Zoro won't be the strongest swordsman until he can somehow be demonstrated as earning that mantel. As it is Mihawk's defining character trait and Zoro's dream, I doubt Oda has some mystery swordsman somewhere who is stronger with a sword.\n 2. Mihawk's title only refers to his ability with a sword. It is notable that Mihawk's only power seems to come from his reputation and swordmanship. He has no known devil fruit, no shown Haki (though he obviously has Armament), no gimmicks, and no crew. I don't think many people would doubt that Shanks is stronger and Shanks uses a sword. Shank's power, however, includes his crew and his insane levels of Conquerors Haki. If Gorosei must be a stronger fighter, he might be stronger for other reasons than swordsmanship. That being said:\n 3. There is no reason to assume the Gorosei members must be all that strong. Maybe he was the strongest but got old. Maybe he was never that strong but got there based on his intelligence.\n\n(Also Whitebeard was the strongest man but Kaido is the strongest beast. Maybe\nthere is a stronger swordswoman somewhere?

[ { "body": "\n\nThe only kind of answer for questions like this is \"nobody knows for sure\"\n(probably not even Hideaki Anno). While there is a precedence for souls being\nin an Eva's core, it's not definitively stated or implied that the mass\nproduction Eva's all have souls. We know in the case with Eva-03, that it's\nlikely there was a soul put into the core that was \"compatible\" with Toji\n(Episode 17, Ritsuko and Gendo's conversation about the test at Matsushiro),\nperhaps his mother's? We also know that when the dummy system was activated in\nEva-01, that there was a soul (Yui's) in that core, we know it can work with\nsouls but we don't know for sure whether the soul is required.\n\nOne theory supposes that based on Kaworu's statement about the AT Field being\nthe \"light of the soul\", which seems to imply that a soul is required to\nproduce an AT Field. In the case with humans, the AT Field simply keeps the\nbody together (otherwise we turn into orange goo) but in order to generate\nlarge/strong AT fields that can block weapons and make you levitate at an\nEva's scale, there needs to be a soul in the core. Taking this into account\nhowever, we can see that none of the mass production Evas seem to display any\nability to generate that kind of AT Field (though they do generate an Anti-AT\nField later), so who knows.\n\nIf I had to make an unsubstantiated guess, I'd say there were souls there but\nwe'll never know whose they were. One particularly sadistic theory, using the\nToji + Toji's mother's soul in Eva-03 lead, says that the souls in the mass\nproduction Evas are that of the mothers of the students in class 3-A and that\nthe bodies in side the dummy plugs are those of those students. There's not\nthat much to back up such a theory, though.\n\nEDIT:\n\nSomething that I forgot to mention, during the 2nd half of the End of\nEvangelion, during part of the instrumentality ritual the Mass Production Evas\npierce open their own cores:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Fg9F6.png)\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/CJEMO.png)\n\nThis happens during the sequence where the rest of humanity are getting turned\ninto LCL and their souls released, which is in the form of a red glowing orb.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/XGbQk.png)\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/ok8DJ.png)\n\nSome people believe that the piercing of the core is to release the soul\nthat's inside it. In one couple of frames you can see that it glows red after\nthe core is pierced:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/SgiKK.png)\n\nSo in a sense, this is their way of letting the human souls that are trapped\ninside their cores free in order to take part in instrumentality.\nAdditionally, afterwards, the MPE's are all seen completely immobile, either\nbecause their role in the ritual is over, or without the resident soul inside\nthe core, there is nothing for the dummy plugs to sync with.\n\n", "comment_count": 2, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-02-10T23:33:14.407", "id": "50793", "last_activity_date": "2019-02-11T20:06:53.813", "last_edit_date": "2019-02-11T20:06:53.813", "last_editor_user_id": "91", "owner_user_id": "91", "parent_id": "50477", "post_type": "answer", "score": 5 } ]
