[ { "body": "\n\n**Can hunters change their specialization through training?** _No, they can't,\nsimple as that_. The manga also doesn't show that they can (I've read up to\nthe Succession Contest arc). I also have yet to see a Nen user who has an\naffinity on one aura that changed it via training, showing that currently, _it\nis impossible to change Nen affinity via training_. Nen users only have a\nsingle affinity towards one of the six aura types.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/bXP8n.png)\n\nAs explained by Kurapika in **Volume 12, Chapter 108** , if, for example, a\nConjurer tries to learn abilities other than his/her own affinity or own type,\nthe maximum level of skill or mastery he/she can attain on these other skills\n(Emission, Manipulation, etc) would be lower compared to when using skills as\na Conjurer. _This means that a Nen user who is a Conjurer can still use\nabilities outside of Conjuration but with lesser strength and effectiveness_.\nShown below is Kurapika's maximum level of mastery on all aura types.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/VWYNA.png)\n\nKurapika, however, is one of the exceptions. He can change his affinity when\nhis eyes become scarlet, as shown in **Volume 9 Chapter 83** , so he becomes a\nSpecialist from being originally a Conjurer, making him able to access all six\nNen aura types. Thus, someone can change affinity by being born as a Kurta,\nwhich has the scarlet eyes. _Then again, like having an affinity towards a\ncertain Nen type, this is not achievable through training or via other means\nbut by being born with it_. If I recall correctly, Kurapika was the only one\nshown in the manga like this. [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/hItCo.jpg)\n\n**How come Franklin can shoot aura from his hands when he was born with human\nhands?** His hands are human. I have no idea where you got the assumption that\nhis hands are anything other than human. His fingertips was the only thing he\ncut ( **Volume 9 Chapter 76** ) up to the [distal\nphalanges](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanx_bone#Distal_phalanx). This,\nas noted in the\n[wiki](https://hunterxhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Franklin_Bordeau),\n\n> ...was not required...but since self-imposed limitations can greatly enhance\n> Nen abilities, the power of each bullet increased dramatically\n\nHe is only shooting aura from his fingertips. His hand is not mechanical or\nhollow and this would be pointless since the aura is from the body, not from a\nstorage in the hand. Frank just chose to emit it in his fingertips rather than\nin other parts of the body.\n\n**How did Chrollo acquire spell stealing when there is no one to train with at\nthe city of wasteland?** Again, I have no idea where you got the information\nthat no one lives in Meteor City. There are people there, that is where the\nPhantom Troupe originated, but _they only don't exist in any official\nrecords_. That doesn't mean they also, physically, do not exist. As to how\nChrollo acquired his ability, _that was never discussed in the manga_.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-03-02T03:41:29.253", "id": "51020", "last_activity_date": "2019-03-02T07:04:54.567", "last_edit_date": "2019-03-02T07:04:54.567", "last_editor_user_id": "43199", "owner_user_id": "43199", "parent_id": "51008", "post_type": "answer", "score": 3 } ]

This manga got into legal\ntrouble because it directly featured lots of 90s video game content, even\nthough its publisher, Square Enix, took steps to secure formal consent for the\nuse of the games' characters from the various companies.

It took about a year before the two parties reached\na settlement and the lawsuit was withdrawn.\n\nThis case had more to do with copyright than trademark, but it's still a good\nexample of the kind of trouble that could come arise if you're not careful\nenough with handling the intellectual property of others... _High Score Girl_\nreally did include a lot of stuff though, so this was a particularly complex\ncase.

Outside of being\nin the industry (and having shown success), the only real way to get your\nideas turned into an anime is by your idea being a success beforehand.\n\nSome examples in this last category include\n[_Radiant_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_\\(TV_series\\)), [_Howl's\nMoving\nCastle_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howl%27s_Moving_Castle_\\(film\\)), and\n[_Tales from\nEarthsea_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_from_Earthsea_\\(film\\)). Do\nnote, however, that in the case of the _Earthsea_ , it was changed enough, for\n_Earthsea_ 's author to not really consider it her story anymore.\n\nThis brings us to _Radiant_. This is a comic that takes a lot of inspiration\nfrom manga and [thanks to the artist of _One Punch\nMan_](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2015-08-06/radiant-\nbecomes-1st-french-manga-published-in-japan/.91351), it got picked to become a\npart of the Euromanga Collection. A safe assumption may be that this became an\nanime thanks to having presumed success in Japan.\n\nI think what this all shows is that it's not about having a good idea, but\nlike W. Are said, giving the studio a reason for them to make it in the first\nplace. And as my examples show, this reason could be you being a person of\nlarge influence, getting the right connections or your idea having success in\nits medium (whether a comic, novel, or perhaps some game).\n\nI wouldn't get your hopes up with just the manuscript/idea, but do know that\nit's not outside the realm of possibilities for your work to get an anime\nadaptation.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-03-04T13:01:18.593", "id": "51047", "last_activity_date": "2019-03-04T15:04:40.407", "last_edit_date": "2019-03-04T15:04:40.407", "last_editor_user_id": "2516", "owner_user_id": "3930", "parent_id": "51037", "post_type": "answer", "score": 5 } ]

The\nreason I say that is because if you were to take **_DBZ_ and _DBS_** as a\nwhole and look at the events, it does make sense in a way and seems canon so\nyou could consider it to be canon. As the same ending of Goku going to train\nwith Uub can be found in both the manga and the anime, you can't necessarily\nconsider it to be filler.\n\nHowever, the reason I said the answer could be **yes and no** , is because the\n_DBS_ series was thought off after a significant amount of time. Over the\nyears, for the purpose of extending the series, a lot of prior information has\nbeen retconned simply for the purpose of convenience. For instance, _DBS_\nBroly retcons the original series of _Dragon Ball_ with regard to Goku's age.\nThe character of Broly was re-introduced and dramatically changed. The power\nscaling of characters increased dramatically. Currently, the manga is working\non a _chapter after the events of DBS Broly and the T.O.P_ , and we don't know\nwhether the series is going to resume or whether we are going to see several\nmore arcs after which replace the Martial Arts Tournament that takes place\n\nThe reason I say this is because the only reason Goku entered the tournament\nwas because he was very excited to fight Uub (Kid Buu). Kid Buu was basically\none of the strongest antagonists in _DBZ_ whom Goku lost against, so it would\nmake sense for him to be excited to fight him. Goku has clearly fought several\nantagonists much superior to Kid Buu over the years in _DBS_ and it wouldn't\nmake sense why he'd be as excited to fight someone several times weaker. That\nsaid, Goku is excited to fight anyone most of the time so the ending could\nstill exist.\n\nIn conclusion, if you take the series as a whole now, yes! The ending can be\nfit in.

[ { "body": "\n\nThe answer to this question would be a **Yes** in terms of Dragon Ball Z and a\n**Yes & No** in terms of Dragon Ball Super.\n\nKi (気 \"Kee\", lit. \"Spirit\"), also known as chi/qi, Yōki (妖気)[1] or simply\nenergy (エネルギー enerugī), is the life force energy used by Dragon Ball\ncharacters. [Source](https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Ki)\n\nSo as per the definition, it would make sense that the more Ki/ energy is\nreleased, the more powerful a fighter is or the more powerful their attack is.\nFor example, if there is a beam struggle between two fighters, the fighter who\nraises his **energy/ki** more comes out on top. The greater the amount of\nenergy released by a warrior, the greater is the level of power. So yes!\nRealistically, any character would have to release their ki to maximum to\nrelease a powerful attack.\n\nThe reason I said **Yes & No** in terms of Dragon Ball Super is because we see\na bit of contradiction to the traditional Dragon Ball Z on account of the\nintroduction of God Ki. God Ki involves high-level ki control where the user\nis not allowed to have Ki leak out of their body so that the opponent cannot\nsense their level of strength. In the _Super Saiyan God_ and _Super Saiyan\nBlue_ form, it isn't possible to directly sense the ki of the fighter.\nHowever, an experienced fighter is capable of gauging the opponent's strength\nand the form tends to exert immense pressure on whoever is fighting against\nit. The reason I say **Yes and No** is because, while this notion of God Ki is\npresent, the old traditional concept I explained earlier still exists even in\nthe case of the God forms. For instance, when Goku has a beam struggle with\nMerged Zamasu, he powers up more to overpower his attack, the same applies to\nwhen Goku is angry with regard to Chi Chi's and Goten's death. All of this is\nin their Super Saiyan Blue forms. Similarly, in the tournament of power, we\nsee Goku power up completely and releases all his ki in _Episode 122_ before\nhe faces off against Jiren. Vegeta does the same when he powers up his Final\nFlash against Jiren.\n\nSo realistically yes, the more ki a fighter has the stronger they are.\nNaturally, naturally, not all fights require fighters to release all their\nenergy at one go to take on every foe. So yes, based on the opponent and his\nlevel of strength, the opposing fighter either powers up or down based by\nreleasing ki.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-03-10T19:50:51.453", "id": "51107", "last_activity_date": "2019-03-10T19:50:51.453", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "51105", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]

He didn't want to reveal his plans\nto anyone and kept everythjng to himself which is actually typical of Eren who\nhas always wanted to be the 'lone wolf' independent kind of hero.\n\nNow when he gets his head blown off by Gabi's thunder bolt [in chapter 120\nagain] we get a flashback of memories... As though these are Eren's last\nthoughts before a supposed death.

[ { "body": "\n\nJapan is very different from the US, and I've picked up on some of subtleties\nthat by watching waaaay too much anime.\n\n## Japan\n\nJapan is a socialist state, Asians are very communal, and from what I can\ntell, sports are not just sports, but also clubs. Students join a single club,\nbe it a sports club, or the epitomous occult club. Oftentimes the captain of\nthe club has final say on who can join, and we've seen in many anime that\nthere is paperwork involved. As stated in the comments above, sometimes even a\nstellar rookie doesn't have access to contribute, instead letting the older\nstudents play on the team and/or first string.\n\nIn Japan (probably many Asian cultures), the student would be worried about\nembarrassing his teammates if he was unable to contribute. Once accepted by\nthe team, if he or the team feels that he was especially under performing,\nsocial ostracization would kick in. You've probably seen this in anime where\npeople talk loudly behind their hand and say awful things. This shaming would\nbe an effect to make the under performing team member quit the team. Shame is\na big part of Asian culture, and not a big part of the American way, so it\nmight be hard to wrap your head around how important it is to them. I don't\nfully get it, but I can see that it exists.\n\n## The USA\n\nContrast that with the US, where individuality is encouraged, sports teams are\nnot clubs, and students can usually join clubs and sports teams. There's\nusually not paperwork to join, though a liability waiver might be signed. As\nstated above, there's free reign to let awesome rookies perform, so it's\nhighly desirable to find out who your best players are, and a tryout is one\nway to assess how good your incoming players are.\n\nIn the USA, you might join the sports team, go to practice, and participate in\nthe background until you hit your breakout moment. Since you're not in an\nanime (Netflix is working on that though), you might not find a breakout\nmoment, and you might just be a small contributing member. If the school or\nteam is big enough, there might be a limited number of slots on the team, so\ntryouts would be in order. I'd hazard a WAG that even though Asia is more\npopulous, they have more (and smaller) schools, where here in the US, schools\ncan get a lot bigger, thus triggering tryouts due to size more often.\n\n## Anime\n\nIn anime, the MC usually joins a non-performant or loser team (take\nHinomaruzumou ([MAL](https://myanimelist.net/anime/37007/Hinomaruzumou)) for\nexample), and then through plot armor, awesomesauce, friendship, and some\ntsundere, makes it a winning team. That's not usually how reality works, East\nor West. But that's what makes an entertaining anime. In an anime like this,\nthe club captain is usually trying to get the minimum number of members so\nthat the club doesn't get cancelled, so tryouts would be counter productive.\n\nIn anime where the club is not in danger of being forcibly disbanded, the MC\nusually has some desirable trait to make the club captain try to recruit the\nMC, again bypassing any kind of a tryout. I'm not a big sports anime fan, but\nevery time I've seen a sports anime (or an anime with sports elements), it\nfits into either of these categories.\n\n**Sources:** Watching too much anime, and therefore osmosis of Japanese\nculture.

They tend to be more sporadic, with little to no clear\nstandard of usage (so they tend to be quite informal, generally), used a bit\nlike pewpew, kaboom, pow, in a loose sense.\n\n\"Tayu-tayu\" despite being the title of a popularly known explicit hentai anime\nand manga, it is in no way related to that series. Typically, it can be used\nto describe the swaying or shaking motion. It's likely derived from \"tayuta\",\nwhich [can refer](https://www.weblio.jp/content/%E3%81%9F%E3%82%86%E3%81%9F)\nto something tangible like water, or something intangible like anxiety (like\nfluttering of the heart/mind). As with many things in Japanese, the context is\nvery important to the actual meaning. In this case the AT-X version, is likely\nreferring to the more \"uncensored\" nature of the broadcast, as for what is\ndoing the \"swaying\"... you'll have to watch to find out.\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-03-30T19:37:43.237", "id": "51329", "last_activity_date": "2019-03-31T02:32:50.967", "last_edit_date": "2019-03-31T02:32:50.967", "last_editor_user_id": "63", "owner_user_id": "63", "parent_id": "51316", "post_type": "answer", "score": 3 } ]

This could probably\nmean that he either has\n[Agonophilia](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Agonophilia) or\nhe's an [adrenaline\njunkie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenaline#Adrenaline_junkie).

But again, this is just a possibility\nbased on his actions. We can't be sure unless Togashi explicitly shows this in\nthe future.\n\nIt would be, however, hasty to immediately conclude that he did it 'just\nbecause' with no reason or plan.

If Hisoka turned against the leader the other members would not\nallow him the fight, and would run interference.\n\nMost of Hisoka's actions during the Phantom Troupe vs Kurapika arc is\nmotivated by him wanting to physically separate Chrollo Lucifer from the rest\nof the members, and have a 1 v 1 matchup. Which didn't come to pass, seeing as\nhow\n\n> Kurapika sealed Chrollo's nen abilities.\n\nWhen he did finally manage to weasel out a neutral match out of him, Chrollo\ninsisted that it take place in Heaven's arena, after he had enough prep time.\nDuring their match, Chrollo used several of his new abilities, stored in the\ndictionary. Furthermore, he borrowed abilities of fellow troupe members Machi,\nShalnark and Kortopi, and involved the crowd gathered in the arena as\ndisposable pawns, to essentially kill Hisoka. It is implied that these three\nhad further involvement in his loss, seeing how the exact three members were\npresent after the match, to confirm Hisoka's death.\n\nBut, after\n\n> resurrecting himself using his post mortem nen\n\nHisoka restrains Machi and declares that he is going to hunt every Troupe\nmember that he will come across.\n\nShortly after he\n\n> confronts Shalnark and Kortopi and kills them with ease; decapitating\n> Kortopi, and leaving Shalnark's corpse as a macarbe display for Chrollo.\n\nWhile it is not stated outright, it is implied that Hisoka came to the\nconclusion, that as long as the limbs of the spider are present, he would\nnever get to have a true 1 v 1 with chrollo.\n\n* * *\n\nIt is also possible that Hisoka saw Chrollo borrowing the troupes abilities\nduring their match, as them 'intruding' on their duel. Despite being a\nmurderous psychopath with a fetish for fighting strong opponents, Hisoka has\nhis own set of (twisted) code of conduct. Somewhat similar to a perverted\nversion of the 'warrior's way'. Which is part of the reason why he admires\nfighters like Gon, who value the agreement between fighters and comes at him\nwith no underhanded tactics, and nothing held back.\n\nAs soon as he was revived, his mind was already planning their next duel.\nRealizing that the other Phantom members are always going to be an obstacle,\nhe decides to eliminate them all, before going after the head of the spider.\nPlus, by going after and killing the exact 2 out of 3 members from whom\nChrollo borrowed abilities, and thus 'intruded' on their duel, he is sending a\nmessage to Chrollo. That being, 'you had them interfere in their match, and\nnow your actions have led to their deaths'. This will work, as we have already\nseen how, despite being sociopathic mass murderers with no morals, the Troupe\nmembers care for their own, and would go ballistic when a member is harmed.\n\nHappened when\n\n> Uvogin was killed, and same thing happened now. Seeing as how now, the\n> entire troupe is abroad the Kakin expedition ship to the Dark continent.

[ { "body": "\n\nWikipedia is a community-built site, so the closest thing you can get to\n\"official\" are the [policy\npages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines), which\nare adopted based on community consensus. But even then, enforcement can be\ninconsistent and spotty, especially with the more obscure articles (which is\nwhy editors often dismiss the [\"Other stuff\nexists\"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Other_stuff_exists) argument\nas invalid).\n\nSo on a Wikipedia article, there are two main places where the anime/manga's\ngenre can be specified:\n\n**1\\. The animanga infobox (at the top).**\n\nThe [Infobox animanga\ntemplate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_animanga#Header) has\nthese guidelines for the genre field:\n\n> List more specific genres over general genres (ex. Mecha is a subgenre of\n> Science fiction, therefore only Mecha should be listed instead of both).\n> Genres should be based on what reliable sources list them and not on\n> personal interpretations. If a genre cannot be cited to a reliable source,\n> then it should not be listed.\n\nThe genres in the infobox depends a lot on what [reliable\nsources](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources)\ncharacterize the anime/manga to be. Even if it seems very obvious to the\ncommon reader that the anime/manga is an instance of a specific genre,\nincluding it in the infobox is no good unless you can find a reliable source\nsupporting it. (You may find some Wikipedia articles that have genres in the\ninfobox that are unsourced, but shhhh, that's just the inconsistent\nenforcement thing from earlier.)\n\nAs a result, there isn't really a well-structured organizational hierarchy for\nthe genres in the infobox. It's more like a mish-mash of what is considered to\nbe a genre from various sources.\n\n**2\\. The article's categories (at the bottom).**\n\nPer Wikipedia 's [Manual of Style for anime/manga-related\narticles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Anime-\n_and_manga-related_articles#Categorization), anime/manga articles are\ngenerally put into one or more subcategories of the three parent categories:\n\n * [Category:Anime and manga by demographic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Anime_and_manga_by_demographic)\n * [Category:Anime and manga by genre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Anime_and_manga_by_genre)\n * [Category:Anime and manga by topic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Anime_and_manga_by_topic)\n\nEditors are generally more lax with respect to verification requirements for\ncategories (a category generally sticks around as long as it's at least\nsomewhat apparent from the article content), but categories do get removed or\nchallenged (e.g. using [Template:Uncited\ncategory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Uncited_category)).\n\nAgain, Wikipedia is a community-built site, so there isn't necessarily a\nconsistent scheme or structure to the genre hierarchy. The structure of the\ngenre categories most likely took shape over numerous small changes by various\npasserby contributors. Additions or changes to categories are usually\nimplemented [boldly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Be_bold). Though\nlarger or possibly controversial changes are typically posted at\n[Wikipedia:Categories for\ndiscussion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion)\nfirst to solicit feedback or approval.\n\nThis noticeboard isn't as popular as the Articles for Deletion noticeboard by\na longshot, but things typically get one or two responses here. As an example\nof the kind of discussions that can take place here, here's a fairly\nstraightforward [bulk category renaming\nproposal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_June_16#Topic_based_anime_and_manga_categories)\nfrom 2018, which someone proposed so that the subcategories could have a more\nconsistent naming scheme.\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-04-08T01:41:04.537", "id": "51427", "last_activity_date": "2019-04-08T01:47:09.403", "last_edit_date": "2019-04-08T01:47:09.403", "last_editor_user_id": "18352", "owner_user_id": "18352", "parent_id": "51415", "post_type": "answer", "score": 0 } ]
