"body": "\n\nI was browsing through naruto wiki, and came across this\n[page](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hiden)\n\nIt is stated that ,\n\n> They are not to be confused with kekkei genkai, as technically, hiden\n> techniques can be taught to anyone.\n\nBy \"they\", it means Hiden Jutsu. Is it true that they can be taught to others?\nIs there any evidence of this happening?\n\nI remember in the Boruto movie that the Shadow Jutsu is used through that\nadvanced gadget. But is it possible for a person who does not have any clan\nrelationship to learn a Hiden Jutsu?\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI'd go with **Yes.**\n\nHiden Jutsu are hidden clan techniques that are passed only within a clan. The\nnature and need for secrecy arises only because they can be \"stolen\". Ergo\nsomeone outside the clan can learn these techniques. I would also guess that\nsomeone outside the clan can also be adopted and taught those techniques. If\nthey meet the criteria they can also figure out by themselves. Lets take some\nexamples.\n\n 1. **Hyuuga Clan:** Byakugan may be a kekkei Genkai, i.e. Someone only from Hyuga Clan can manifest these eyes. But Neji for example, just because of his natural talent figured out _Hiden_ techniques such as 32/64 Palms, Rotation etc. Later his uncle taught them to him popularly. Now Ao may possess the Byakugan but unless taught he can't use any Gentle Fist techniques.\n\n 2. **Uchiha Clan** : Kakashi, Danzo etc. have shown to be able to use the clan's Hiden techniques once acquiring the Sharingan. These include Genjutsus, specialized techniques such as Izanami, Kamui etc.\n\n 3. **Ina-Shika-Cho** : We see other users using the \"Reading of mind\" on the ninja Jiraiya sent. But when Pain uses it on Shizune, Ino remarked on it as \"Dad's Technique\". I would think that such techniques are specialized by the Yamanaka clan which may or may not be passed outside. Nara Clan's shadow technique was not used outside the clan. Akimichi Clan probably requires the genetic body build to use the Body Expansion techniques.\n\n 4. **Team 8** \\- Both Aburame and Inuzuka clan raise the children in such a way that they can use their Hiden techniques. The kids in Aburame clan bond with insects, while Inuzuka clan raise a puppy and grow together with them. \n\nThus Hiden techniques are secret since each individual are brought up/born in\na manner that they can only learn their clan techniques. \nIf Iron Fist Style can be taught, why not the Gentle Fist with someone with\nprecise Chakra Control? Because they don't have the Byakugan to precisely\ndodge and target the areas while fighting.\n\n",

Zouken had interest in Heaven's Feel himself\nbecause of how his soul was rotting and the Tohsaka only sought to use the\nGrail to reach the Root.\n\nHowever the Einzberns have had a somewhat unfair advantage, the Greater\nGrail's \"soul\" if you will is that of Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern and the\nEinzberns have always had the components needed to finish the war.\n\n * the Lesser Grail which origianlly was a cup but after the 3rd war being the form of a Homunculus similar to Justeaze because if damaged would end the war as was the case in one of the wars and one needs the Lesser Grail to use the Greater Grail to have their wish granted\n * the Dress of Heaven which can control the Greater Grail\n\nand in different versions of the third Holy Grail War the Einzberns use their\nknowledge of the System to create a new Servant to get the upper hand, either\nreplacing Beserker with Avenger (which failed horribly) or summoning Ruler to\nbe the absolute authority.\n\nin [this answer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/20817/why-did-the-\neinzberns-make-illya-a-master/20818#20818) i explain what i believe the\nEinzbern's plan was in regards to Ilya. since she's the Lesser Grail if she\nwas killed (being a Master) then no one gets their wish. it's like the\nEinzberns taking away the ball from the ballgame if things don't go the way\nthey want, but instead of taking the ball away they make every other player\ndestroy it. (it's for this reason Kotomine and Gilgamesh needed Ilya (or at\nleast her heart) for their purposes)\n\n# Scenario 2: Angra Mainyu is born and no one wins\n\nin the 3rd war the Einzbern Family summoned Angra Mainyu in the Avenger Class\nbut was quite weak and was killed off early. his death contaminated the\nGreater Grail.\n\nKiritsugu concluded after his encounter with Angra Mainyu (talking to him via\nthe radio, TV and appearing as Irisviel) that _any_ wish would lead to\ndestruction, even if Kotomine and Gilgemesh didn't have their own plans and a\nMaster or Servant were able to get a hold of Ilya as the Lesser Grail for\ntheir own use and make their wish this would release the six billion curses of\nthe world which Angra Mainyu now embodies.\n\n> The materialization of Angra Mainyu brought forth by truly opening the Holy\n> Grail is an ichor that will consume every human being, 6 billion curses\n> flowing out from the gate to hell. Gilgamesh specifically mentions 5.6\n> billion curses for an unknown reason. It is a reaper that will strike down\n> all humans equally, an endless darkness that is born from humans and\n> massacres them.\n\nSource: [Avenger - Abilities - All the World's\nEvil](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Avenger_\\(Fate/hollow_ataraxia\\)#All_the_World.27s_Evils)\n\nin the Fate and Unlimited Blade Works routes of Fate/Stay Night even before\nanyone makes a wish the mud from the grail is already spilling and corrosive.\nin Fate when Shirou fought Kotomine he has to take care to avoid being hit my\nthe mud Kotomine shoots at him as at one point he is grazed by it and is\nalmost succumbed to the curses.\n\nin Unlimited Blade Works Saber stops Rin in wading into the Mud Pool to reach\nthe deformed Shinji because of what it would do to her (if i recall it was\nSaber's abilities which gave her some protection but it was describing that it\nwas eating away it her)\n\n### Sakura as the Lesser Grail\n\nwhile Sakura is also a lesser Grail thanks to Zouken infusing fragments of the\none from the 4th war into his Crest Worms that are inside her Sakura's\nconnection to the Greater Grail is to that of Angra Mainyu itself.\n\nbefore she realized she was The Shadow it was already consuming people and\nServants and unleashing Saber-Alter and Blind-Berserker. while Zouken might\nhave been able to control Sakura for years in the end The Shadow wasn't under\nhis control. it would have only been a matter of time before it controlled\nSakura as the ribbons that's seen on The Shadow make up Dark Sakura's dress\nwhich was then used to bind her after her's and Rin's fight near to the end of\nHeaven's Feel.\n\n",

Saber may object a bit, but she'll see it as the\nonly way to save Shirou and Rin, Shirou will instantly agree to it...\n\nThey then agree to fight OUTSIDE of the church (pretty much for the sake of\nplot, but i'm sure the Berserker/Archer fight, and Berserker breaking into the\nscene would've caused significant damage to the structure, so it's unfavorable\nfor all combatants) Saber can compete with Beserker since she has a compotent\nmaster, holds her own, defeats him with Excaliblast when the oppertunity\npresents itself. Illya then teams up with Rin, Shirou, Saber.\n\nIllya gets kidnapped by Kotomine from Emiya household. Taken to Fuyuki temple,\nused as lesser grail (killed).

Also, it has been\nstated that a large chakra pool is required in order to amass nature energy.\nSo that could be a handicap for Sakura. However, as her training progressed if\nshe managed to increase her chakra pool, then theoretically she should be able\nto master senjutsu. The same goes for Tsunade.\n\nMadara was shown to be able to control sage chakra, without having any\ntraining in it.\n\n",

It was also shown that Megumin **can\ncast advanced spell** , Explosion although only **once a day due to her\nlimited mana**.\n\nHowever, during the fight with Dullahan, Aqua cast Sacred Create Water on a\nlevel where it destroyed the gate of the city, causing damage on the level of\nMegumin's Explosion if not higher.\n\nMy question is, since Aqua can't be Arch Wizard due to her low intelligence,\nwhile she shows that she can do magic on the level that of Megumin, then what\ndoes the intelligence stats do in KonoSuba world?

When he\n> used \"Steal\" on girls, he gets their panties at absurdly high chance, but it\n> is not entirely clear whether Kazuma strongly wishes for those or the girls\n> treasure their panties the most.\n\nDemonstrated a few times, Spells can gain bonuses from the user's raw stats.\nAnother example is Create Water, where the effect scales proportional to the\namount of mana spent; [Aqua can use \"Sacred Create\nWater\"](http://konosuba.wikia.com/wiki/Aqua#Powerful_Arch_Priest) which\nflooded the entire area and destroyed one of Axel town gates, causing 340+\nmillion Eris in damage.\n\n[Apparently the Stats on the Adventurer's Cards shown in the Anime series\ncould be\ndeciphered](http://konosuba.wikia.com/wiki/Adventurer%27s_Card#Stats_shown_in_series).\nThey would be:\n\n * Strength\n * Health\n * Magic-pow\n * Dexterity\n * Agility\n * Luck\n\nWhile not every stat type is explored, they seem to be self-explanatory\n(Megumin with high \"magic power\" could use the strongest Explosion magic) as\nattributed of the characters.

They mentioned it that Aqua is at max\nlevel and wasted all her skill points. She can't add stat point anymore, but\nremember equipment with stat modifier can make it up.

"body": "\n\nI think there is a few things we are not taking into account: 1) Bunta's past\n2) Bunta's eyes (here me out)\n\n1) Bunta used to go racing with his bodies back in the day (he wasn't limited\nto just Mount Akina). Bunta never lost a race as he was considered the\n\"undisbuted, couldn't be beat\" racer (Cf. Stage 1 Act 1 - he ultimate tofu\nstore drift) only one person really giving him a run for his money (See Stage\n3). I remember reading somewhere that in the manga Takumi's mother died while\ndelivering Tofu, and the reason I bring that up is because in stage 1 act 24\nwhen Keiichi Tsuchiya calls Bunta about the race between Takumi and Ryoske,\nKeiichi makes the comment about Bunta scarring him for life with his\n\"monstrous drift\" to which Bunta replies \"that was a long time ago\". Whether\nretired or perhaps with a vow never to race again, atleast not in a more\nactive sense, this is why we do not see Bunta race.\n\n2) There is a reason that Bunta is the only one in the series that has his\neyes closed. Its more of a symbollism, a sort of literary device if you will.\nIn essence, Bunta is the perfect driver. This does not mean he is the perfect\nhuman being, but rather that he is the \"undisputed, couldn't be beat\". For\nexample, whenever anyone asks Bunta about the outcome of the race, he never\nsays anything except \"we'll see after the race\", representing his calm,\ncollectedness. During the battle between Takumi and Godhand Bunta never makes\nany calls on the race, but he remarks on how Takumi still has a lot to learn.\nIn Stage 3 when Bunta is driving the 86 for the deliveries and passes by\nTakumi's challenger, Bunta remarks \"there was some skill behind that wheel\"\ndemonstrating his sort of 6th sense in racing. Overall, Bunta's eyes, as a\nliterary device are to show him as the only driver who hasn't been beat.\nAlthough there have been some who gave him a run for his money, i.e. that have\ncome close to beating bunta - Bunta still comes out on top.\n\nAlso, just going to throw this in here since I mentioned it - but yes, Bunta\nwould beat Godhand. Godhand admits that an 86 has the ability to beat his time\non the mountain, and we even see Takumi getting close to defeating Godhand,\nBunta also remarking that Takumi has a long way to go. the point here being\nthat comparing the skill level of Godhand and Takumi and the result of the\nrace, it is likely that Bunta would win, most-likely by not letting God hand\nover take him the same way he overtook Takumi.\n\n",

From [the\nwiki](http://fma.wikia.com/wiki/Roy_Mustang), it states:\n\n> After the battle with Father is over, Roy is treated in a medical center,\n> conversing with Dr. Knox. He informs the doctor of his disability, and\n> states that he will have to retire. He decides to pass the title of Führer\n> over to Grumman.

Roy agrees to Marcoh's\n> demands.\n\nEither Mustang can live with his new disability (blindness), or he can heal\nand atone for his war crimes by rebuilding the Ishval community he previously\nuprooted and destroyed. I think that either of these punishments are adequate\nenough for Mustang's war crimes, and perhaps the writers of the anime/manga\nfelt that these would be enough to avoid an actual trial.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI guess in my mind, it depends on what you mean by \"defeated.\" If you are\nassuming a actual 1v1 fight, very few likely have a chance. Those that might\nhave a chance would be as follows:\n\n 1. > **Adult Killua:** The story has not gotten that far yet, but it's _assumed_ he has very similar potential to Adult Gon. With his Godspeed/Lightning abilities, his highly logical/tactical combat measures, and his incredible physical strength, he might have the tools to overpower Meruem. (Assuming Meruem stayed only as strong as we saw him in the anime/manga). I believe being able to constantly stunlock an opponent nearly forever with his kind of combat skills absolutely gives him a chance. (He might even have MORE Nen abilities in the future as well.) \n\n 2. > **Adult Gon:** As Arcane stated in his answer, this is pretty accurate. Also why Pitou decided Gon must be taken out. \n\n 3. > **Chrollo Lucifer:** While Chrollo has a nice toolkit, I really don't believe that as he is now, he stands a chance against Meruem. If he could learn a LOT more abilities, and gain a lot more power? Maybe, but even then, how does he compensate for the speed and strength disparity being a Specialist? He would absolutely have to surprise him. \n\n 4. > **Shalnark:** Assuming that super strong aura doesn't negate abilities on its own, AND assuming that Shalnark could surprise Meruem somehow, AND that he lands his dart. Then yes, Shalark could win, simply because he could then simply have Meruem tear himself apart. I still somehow find this scenario unlikely though. \n\n 5. > **Maha Zoldyck:** As the only enhancer in the Zoldyck clan, and able to fight Netero to a standstill in the past, he's very strong. But he's also very very old now, and it's unlikely he could do it is his current state. When he was at his prime? Possibly, but the same could be said for Netero as well. \n\n 6. > **Zeno Zoldyck:** The official power charts, and just observation in the anime as well, seem to conclude that he would not be able to beat Meruem. Zeno is strong sure, and his battle experience is very high, however, even he admitted Chrollo would take him in a serious fight. Given these facts, it seems unlikely he could defeat Meruem in any capacity. \n\n 7. > **Unknown Random Nen User:** Given that the series doesn't cover ALL nen users in the world, it's possible that there is someone out there who COULD do it, even if we don't know who they are (This answer is here merely for the sake of completeness). \n\nNOW, that said.... **If you are talking outside of battle?** Then there is\nsomeone who can do this easily.\n\n> **Alluka Zoldyck:** She's essentially the strongest Nen user in the series,\n> and possibly the _strongest_ character in that world period. As long as\n> she's not surprised, Alluka/Something could simply let Killua use her power\n> in command form to kill Meruem, and there's nothing he could do about it.\n> Her power is simply too much for a normal person to overcome, it's\n> essentially a wish/cosmic scale as far as we were shown. ONLY if Meruem knew\n> of this, and could surprise her could he come out victorious. She wins in\n> basically any other scenario. \n> \n> In a way, this also makes the further story a little lame concerning Killua\n> seeing as that he has full control of this power, he's essentially\n> invincible now. The both of them could even restore Gon's Nen if they so\n> chose. She's basically a demi-goddess without battle powers as far as I'm\n> concerned. I understand the author wrote himself into a corner and Alluka\n> was the solution, but it also could harm the impact of future works if the\n> answer to any one of Kilua's or Gon's problem is: \"Alluka could fix that in\n> a second.\"\n\n",

"body": "\n\nWhy is everyone neglecting Hisoka while still considering Chrollo? Also, no\none has mentioned Ging who as Kite said is the strongest Hunter in the _HxH_\nuniverse as far as he knows. While Something was doing her thing, everyone but\nGing was freaking out. He knew, understood, and did not fear that power.\n\nI think while Meruem is something unusual and powerful, his ability to learn\nwas exceptional but he could still lose, that is something that was so\nsignificant with Komugi. She was insignificant in every way except Gungi. The\nking was an excellent fighter, but he wasn't very experience. So here is my\nlist for people who could potentially beat him:\n\n * **Chrollo** : Not enough information is given since we don't know all of his spells, still he could have something in that book stronger than Kurapika's chain that would work against ants.\n\n * **Hisoka** : We know very little about his powers. Other than that where he may lack in power, he is a genius and smarter than the average bear. His dodgeball battle with Razor where he did very little, it was assumed he couldn't throw the ball but no one even asked. It served as a checkpoint for him to see where Killua and Gon were in their training. When Gon was knocked out, he said \"he wanted total victory, right Gon?\" while using his sticky gum to LAUNCH the ball back at Razor and sticking it to his arm. He could've done this at any point and single-handedly won the game. While I'm unsure of whether he could beat Meruem since we haven't seen his limits tested, it's safe to assume he'd stand a better chance than people are giving him.\n\nNow people I think have a high chance of beating Meruem:\n\n * **Zeno** : do you need an explanation? He said Netero was stronger than him, but Netero said that Knov and Morel were probably stronger than he was. You can't go based on what is said specifically, but rather what is shown.\n\n * **Gon** : Pitou said so before he even transformed. Everyone else covered the rest.\n\n * **Ging** : this is pretty self-explanatory, we don't have enough information as we literally have no idea what he can do. However, he basically made it clear nothing was left for them on their world. Realizing the significance of Meruem being there, had he seen him as an actual threat, he probably would have shown up, he knew how it was going to go through, so he was like fuck it. If the anime/manga ever continues and shows his progress going into the New World I think you guys will see he -- of all people -- deserves recognition. While being a shit father as an individual, he is clearly a fucking monster. He is the only one I would bet my money on to win without much of an issue.\n\n",

Certainly it is a\ncommon setting for it but we have also had dodgeball games, jogs, arm\nwrestling, and so on. When Meruem challenged the national masters of various\nboard games, the stakes were clearly life and death and it is clear that the\nother masters were defeated.\n\nKomugi was also definitely a nen user, as we see her gain the ability to\nperceive nen and she developed powers related to Gungi.

One of its first registration on June 23, 1998 mentions\n\n> entertainment services, namely, arranging and conducting competitions in the\n> field of playing video games; stage presentations; video game presentations\n> relating to video games; production, presentation, distribution, and\n> syndication of animation, motion picture films, and television programs; and\n> production and presentation of video tapes\n\nwhich includes both the anime and the game. So we can say that _Gotta catch\n'em all_ appeared with the general airing of Pokemon in the United States.\n\nNote that the first episode was broadcasted before the game was released in\nthe United States : the TV Show was aired on September 8, 1998 while the game\nwas first sold on September 28, 19981.\n\n* * *\n\n1 Wikipedia links : [the first\nepisode](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon,_I_Choose_You!) and [the\ngames](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue)\n\n",

While\nthis explanation for the 2003 anime makes sense, it also leaves questions\nsince we do see failed transmutations leaving alchemists completely exhausted.\nBeing that the 2003 anime isn't based on canon, this is probably just an\noversight.\n\nThe [FMA Wikia](http://fma.wikia.com/wiki/Alchemy) on Alchemy has this to say\nabout the subject:\n\n> In the 2003 anime, though it is never outright explained from where the\n> energy in transmutation comes, alchemists who attempt to create objects\n> outside their range of skill are left exhausted, suggesting that at least\n> some of the energy comes directly from their bodies.

The purpose of a transmutation circle is to channel the energy needed\nfor the transmutation. This energy is channeled from energy that already\nexists in nature.\n\nThe [FMA Wikia](http://fma.wikia.com/wiki/Alchemy#Transmutation_Circle) has\nthis and more to say about transmutation circles:\n\n> The circle itself is a conduit which focuses and dictates the flow of power,\n> tapping into the energies that already exist within the earth and matter. It\n> represents the cyclical flow of the world's energies and phenomena and turns\n> that power to manipulable ends.\n\nDuring the story we are told the energy for transmutation in Amestris is\npowered by tectonic shifts in the earth's crust.\n\n> Later, it is revealed that all transmutations use energy from a giant\n> underground network of philosopher's stones, which go through Father's body.\n\nHowever, the transmutations that take place outside in Xing use the Dragon's\nPulse as an energy source.\n\nTo quote from the [Wikia's Alkehestry\npage](http://fma.wikia.com/wiki/Alkahestry):\n\n> Whereas Amestrian Alchemy claims to have its roots in the energy of tectonic\n> shifts and practices manipulation of matter toward scientifically practical\n> ends, Alkahestry is centered on a concept called the \"Dragon's Pulse\" which\n> speaks of the Earth itself having a constant flow of chi (life energy) which\n> flows metaphorically from the tops of mountains down to the land, nourishing\n> everything it passes with that energy as does blood coursing through the\n> veins.\n\n",

Like Memor-X said in his answer, Kayaba is **dead, physically**. I say physically because it was shown that Kayaba is **alive as a data** after he did full dive and transferred his consciousness into the network. This was explained in the Light Novel by his former assistant, [Koujiro Rinko](http://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/Koujiro_Rinko). Kayaba did show up when Kirito went against Oberon at the climax of Alfheim Online, but after that, **his whereabouts is unknown**.\n\n 2. Kayaba was responsible for the death of players in the original Aincrad. He was the one who trapped everyone inside the game and made it so that the system kills anyone who died in the game. This makes him **a wanted man**. If he is physically alive, he would have been arrested and brought for trial.\n\n 3. Having Kayaba as the final boss of the 100th floor of New Aincrad would be a **bad move for the company** to make. How would people feel if, let's say Square-Enix use Hitler as the final boss for Final Fantasy? Same case with Kayaba.\n\nSo, Kayaba as the boss of the 100th floor of New Aincrad? It is next to\nimpossible.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nSex is an important part of human life, as each life usually starts with\nsomebody having it. People like discussing it because it's pleasurable. And\nthere are other things comparable in popularity, like drinking alcohol with\nfriends, going to parties, cursing and swearing (especially for kids) and\nother less legal or healthy activities, like taking drugs.\n\nOften when people express their concerns about feeling embarrassed that they\ndon't do one of those activities as often as their surrounding, they say that\nit is such a common topic of discussion that even if they didn't initially\nthink it was something to be embarrassed about, after some time they started\nto think they are less of a person for not doing it too.\n\nThis is a common response for people when they're being told something again\nand again − they start doubting themselves and whether they should change what\nthey do. And so, this isn't unique to Japan or the teens. People of all ages\nand nationalities are susceptible to peer pressure about most things, given\nenough time.\n\nOne might get the impression that this is mainly an issue for teens in Japan\nbecause anime tends to depict topics that might hit close to home for certain\ntarget audiences better than others using the characters who are worried about\nthe same things as the target audience. For example, you don't often see anime\nmarketed for very young children in which adults are discussing complex issues\nof marriage and dealing with personal issues and trauma.\n\n",

As for why authors choose to reflect this\nparticular part of society, that would be a bigger discussion. The short\nanswer is to evoke empathy from their audience.\n\nThis is not exclusively a Japanese thing. A study cited in [Psychology\nToday](https://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200305/peer-pressure-and-teen-\nsex) found:\n\n> One in three boys ages 15-17 say they feel pressure to have sex, often from\n> male friends. Teen girls feel less pressure--only 23 percent said they felt\n> such coercion. Researchers questioned 1,854 subjects between the ages of 13\n> and 24 in a national survey.\n\nThis is an American study, so it may be different in other countries, but\nprobably not significantly so. This excludes regions where the\nreligion/government censures sex.\n\nSome reasons teens receive this peer pressure is the common belief that:\n\n * everyone their age does it \n * due to media\n * due to pressure from friends\n * due to pressure from partners\n * having sex is cool\n * having sex makes you popular\n * having sex proves \"love\"\n * having sex proves maturity\n * having sex proves you're not gay\n\nMost people in the western world would proabably be very familiar being\npressured with these reasons.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nDepending on the series, the _fact_ that these eye highlights appear can be\nexploited to add the effect of unhappiness, shock, horror, or any other\nemotion outside of \"normal\" for a stock character. The general trope for this\nis called [Dull Eyes of\nUnhappiness](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DullEyesOfUnhappiness),\nand has prevalence not just in anime, but in other media as well.\n\nFor a particularly jarring example, let's take Kotonoha from _School Days_.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/IpMHX.jpg)\n\nIn this shot, Kotonoha is at a bare minimum in a \"normal\" state; she's happy\nand in general, relatively in her right mind.\n\nI won't go into the details of that series, but let's just say...she goes\nthrough some things1. And we can tell _due to the lack of eye lights._ 2\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/3HEHS.jpg)\n\nAlmost immediately, even those of us who aren't familiar with this story, we\ncan see that this character is acting or feeling outside of the norm, which is\na strong plot-driving point.\n\nIn other cases, it can be used for comedic effect. In the series _Morita-san\nis Taciturn_ , the main character _always_ has eyes like this.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/WO2ep.jpg)\n\nHowever, **very much unlike** any stock example of this trope, Morita is a\nvery happy-go-lucky person, even with her eyes in this shade (and everyone\nelse's _without_ ). In this scenario, we could even call this \"normal\", and if\nher eyes were to go suddenly include eye lights, we'd have a similar reaction.\n\nThis doesn't even include scenarios in which the eye lights are exaggerated\nfor a character that is crying, either.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/BivC0.gif)\n\nHere, the _overabundance_ of eye lights gives the illusion of tears forming,\nwhich can be either the emotion of sadness...\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/GKzvv.gif)\n\n...and with this example from _Trigun_ , the overabundance of eye lights gives\nthe illusion of frustration or anger.\n\n* * *\n\nAll of this to say that this effect _very much_ has a purpose and very much\nhas a place. In series that mandate it, the _lack_ of it can (and often\nshould) shift a person's perception about a scene or the state of a character,\nand is used for theatrical effect as well as a plot device.\n\n* * *\n\n1: I'll accept my _Understatement of the Century_ award, thank you very much.\n\n2: Oh, and the tears are a dead giveaway, too.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nBecause some people like women with big breasts. As usual, anime exaggerates;\nit can't just have a woman with big breasts, it has to have a woman with\nridiculously gigantic breasts.\n\nThis isn't purely a Japanese thing. Actually, I would argue that it came in\norigin from American media that were exported to Japan. In the US, large\nbreasts are often considered more attractive. The supposed ideal of American\nyoung men's fantasies is 36D-24-36: 36 inches around the chest, cup size D, 24\ninches around the waist, 36 inches around the hips (the \"hourglass\" shape).\nThere are even [articles](http://theviewspaper.net/36-24-36-debunking-the-\nsocial-construct-of-beauty/) using these three-sizes as a shorthand for the\ntyranny of societal beauty standards.\n\nThe epitome of this standard of beauty in American media is Jessica Rabbit\nfrom _Who Framed Roger Rabbit?_\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/wdLK3l.jpg)\n\nWomen with large breasts are also common in American comics:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/PQq2f.jpg)\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Z22H8m.jpg)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/WKYxmm.jpg)\n\nAnime and American comics both tend to exaggerate everything, so essentially\nthey took a preference for large breasts and massively exaggerated it, to the\npoint that characters have J-cup breasts. (US readers, keep in mind [a\nJapanese J cup is an American H cup](http://www.sizeguide.net/bra-\nsizes.html).)\n\nJapan gets a ton of American media, so there have been ample opportunities for\nthis American love of big boobs to seep into their culture. My theory is that\nit started during the US occupation with pinup posters brought over by the\nservicemen:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/i27lwm.jpg)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/dThRCm.gif)\n\nThen it was refreshed with every Hollywood movie that came in showing men\nlusting after women with big breasts.\n\nSpeaking of Jessica Rabbit,\n[Cracked](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgobMBRyqdY) has an interesting\ntheory on psychological and evolutionary reasons why animated women with\nridiculously exaggerated boobs appeal to viewers. They're obviously a humor\nwebsite and not a peer-reviewed scientific journal, so take it with a grain of\nsalt.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nBasically, what happens is that the bond between Ash and Greninja is so strong\nthat Greninja took the new form as Ash-Greninja where Greninja takes some\nfeatures of Ash (as you mentioned) and it is not a mega evolution. Some\ntheorists say that it might be synchro evolution from the pokemon spin off\n_Pokemon Reburst_. By turning into this form, Greninja's power greatly\nincreases and as you can see on its back, there is a giant shuriken which is a\nreplacement for water shuriken (the move). The Ash-Greninja form can only last\nfor a short period of time before Ash and Greninja gets tired and faint,\nduring the form ash can also feel the pain that Greninja is feeling.\n\nThe official website explanation is \"Ash's Greninja takes on a mysterious new\nappearance in the latest season! Ash-Greninja is the form that Greninja takes\nwhen the bond between it and Ash is raised to the limit. The strength of their\nbond changes Greninja's appearance, and it takes on the characteristic look of\nAsh's attire. This phenomenon is also said to have happened just once several\nhundred years ago in the Kalos region, but it remains shrouded in mystery.\"\n\nThe anime explanation is saying pretty much the same thing. When it first\nhappened in the ninja village, the anime explained that because the bond\nbetween is great, he has taken a new form. The first appearance looked\nsomething like this.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/a0bFUl.png)\n\nduring this stage, Stallone did a lot of testing where he discovered that this\ntransformation will take place only when Greninja and Ash have mentally\nsynchronized. Then later in episode 25, while versing the kalos champion, Ash-\nGreninja got the full form and it looked like this.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/W5tgjm.jpg)\n\nit was then explained that this was when the bond became maximum level where\nthey are completely synchronized. And then it goes through the phases of\ndifficulty between Ash Greninja and stuff.\n\nSome power ups include faster, stronger, giant water shuriken, using water\nninja knife things instead of the normal iyarigiri move. And in the episode\n35, water shuriken became huge (kind of like rasen shuriken), it looked like\nthis\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/pVsFLl.png)\n\nEverything about Ash-Greninja is explained in the anime, it also shows\nStallone testing how it works and the road to master this form.\n\nI highly recommend _Pokemon XY & Z_. The anime has improved a lot, Ash is no\nlonger the immature young kid, he seems (mentally) more as a teen now and\nyeah, I definitely think you should give it a try.\n\n",

Could be anywhere\nbetween 64 and 74.\n\n * _Pokémon: The Movie 2000—The Power of One (Mirage Pokémon: Lugia's Explosive Birth)_\n\nBetween 86 and 115 because he still has the Lapras.\n\n * _Pokémon 3: The Movie—Spell of the Unown (Emperor of The Crystal Tower: ENTEI)_\n\nBetween 156 and 165. Brock used Zubat in movie, gets Golbat in 165.\n\n * _Pokémon 4Ever—Celebi: Voice of the Forest (Celebi: The Meeting that Traversed Time)_\n\nBetween 201 and 209. Ash uses Bayleef, obtained in 201.\n\n * _Pokémon Heroes: Latios and Latias (Guardian Gods of the Capital of Water: Latias and Latios)_\n\nBetween 247 and 257. Misty obtained Politoad in 247, Ash got Larvita Egg in\n257 which wasn't with him in the movie.\n\n## GEN III Pokemon Advanced Generation (AG) Hoenn\n\n * _Jirachi Wish Maker (Wishing Star of the Seven Nights: Jirachi)_\n\nBetween AG 004 and AG 047. May's Torchic only knows Ember and Peck in the\nmovie and learns quick attack in AG 047.\n\n * _Destiny Deoxys (Visitor from the Sky-Splitting: Deoxys)_\n\nBetween AG 058 and AG 066. Ash has Trokoal but doesn't have Grovyle.\n\n * _Lucario and the Mystery of Mew (Mew and the Aura Hero: Lucario)_\n\nBetween AG 082 and AG 018. May gets Combusken at 082, Ash gets Snorunt at 108.\n\n * _Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea (The Pokémon Ranger and the Prince of the Sea: Manaphy)_\n\nBetween AG 148 and the end of the series at AG 192. Brock has Marshtomp\n(obtained in AG 148) and that's the latest Pokemon that the team acquired in\nthe region shown in the movie.\n\n## GEN IV Pokemon Diamond and Pearl (DP) Sinnoh\n\n * _The Rise of Darkrai (Dialga VS Palkia VS Darkrai)_\n\nBetween DP 038 and DP 055. Brock already hatched Happiny, but Buizel is still\nDawn's.\n\n * _Giratina and the Sky Warrior (Giratina and the Bouquet of the Frozen Sky: Shaymin)_\n\nBetween DP 085 and DP 100. Ash has Gliscor, but Turtwig hasn't evolved yet.\n\n * _Arceus and the Jewel of Life (Arceus: To Conquering Space-Time)_\n\nBetween DP 132 and DP 163. Ash has a Monferno which he acquired in 132 and\nevolves in DP 163.\n\n * _Zoroark—Master of Illusions (Phantom Ruler: Zoroark)_\n\nBetween 171 and the end of series at 192. Dawn has Togekiss, and that was the\nlast Pokemon acquired in the series.\n\n## GEN V Pokemon Best Wishes (BW) Unova\n\n * _White—Victini and Zekrom (Victini and the Black Hero: Zekrom)_\n * _Black—Victini and Reshiram (Victini and the White Hero: Reshiram)_\n\nBetween BW 024 and BW 077. Ash has hatched Scraggy, but only has Tepig.\n\n * _Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice (Kyurem vs. the Sacred Swordsman: Keldeo)_\n\nBetween BW 077 and BW 116. This one is debatable because Ash had Pignite but\nprobably doesn't have Charizard (otherwise, he would've used it), but he could\nhave kept it in the ball and there was no other evidence.\n\n * _Genesect and the Legend Awakened (ExtremeSpeed Genesect: Mewtwo Awakens)_\n\nBetween BW 116 and the end of the series BW 144. Ash has his Charizard and\nthat was the last Pokemon acquired.\n\n## GEN VI Pokemon XY/Pokemon XY&Z (XY) Kalos\n\n * _Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction_\n\nBetween XY 038 and XY 052. Ash's Froakie knows Cut (it's actually Laido) but\nis still a Froakie.\n\n * _Hoopa and the Clash of Ages (The Archdjinni of the Rings: Hoopa)_\n\nBetween XY 067 and XY 100. Serena has Braixen but Ash doesn't have Greninja\nyet. Clemont is also traveling with Ash again, so wait until after their\nbattle when he rejoins them.\n\n * _Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel (Volcanion and the Exquisite Magearna)_\n\nBetween XY 110 and XY 126. Ash has Noivern but his Goodra hasn't rejoined the\ngroup yet.\n\n## GEN VII Pokemon Sun & Moon (SM) Alola (?)\n\n * _I Choose You_ and _Everyone's Story_\n\nThese two movies take place in an alternate timeline and are retellings of the\nOrginal Series and the Orange Islands, respectively. Despite airing alongside\nthe Alola-based series, they have no bearing whatsoever on it.\n\nI base these through the Pokemon in the team including (Ash's friends at the\ntime) in the movie and the moves they've used. The original series might be a\nbit off because I have the banned episode as episode 38 and the safari episode\nas well. The first episode means that the movie was at least after that\nepisode; the second episode means that the movie was definitely before that\nepisode with one exception of Keldeo. It could be anywhere between the two\nepisodes, so it's why there's a gap. The reasoning for the episodes is there\nas well. The source of info was from Bulbapedia and my Pokemon anime and movie\ncollection.\n\n",

It had paid attention\n> to Ash when it was young and naive, because it Ash showed it caring and\n> love. However, when it got older, and learned more, it became cocky and saw\n> Ash for what he was-- a rookie trainer that was still learning many of the\n> basics. I think Charmeleon felt as if he didn't have any respect for Ash.\n> When he started listening to Ash in the Orange Islands, it was after he saw\n> how dedicated and serious Ash could be, even to something that was\n> repeatedly rude and menacing to him. I think that when Charizard saw Ash\n> doing that, he began to have some respect and admiration for the boy.\n>\n> Charizard may have been a 'plot device' to show pokemon that disobey, but it\n> was important because it showed that not even Ash could 'wow' every pokemon\n> with a couple days of friendship. It also was an indication of Ash maturing.\n\nAnd here's another interesting viewpoint from [an old question on\nQuora](https://www.quora.com/Why-didnt-Charmeleon-and-Charizard-obey-Ash-in-\nPok%C3%A9mon-Indigo-League):\n\n> Since Charmander was once rejected as weak he had gained an inferiority\n> complex. He was always trying to prove himself. When he evolve into\n> Charmeleon, he lost his fear and considering itself as proud. He gained\n> self-pride and was considering itself as strong pokemon. Thus he was\n> arrogant, and didn't listened Ash's orders. Later it evolved into a\n> Charizard to prove its strength in front of a Aerodactyl. Charizard retained\n> his disobedience to Ash as of Charmeleon. However, when Ash saved him after\n> being frozen by Tad's Poliwrath's Ice Beam, Charizard's loyalty to Ash\n> returned in full force; the best part of Charmander's pre-evolved\n> personality was back. So the arrogance and disobedience that Charizard (or\n> Charmeleon) was beacause he was boastful of his immense power.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIn the Pokemon game Red and FireRed, when the player is asked to choose his\npokemon, Prof. Oak saying about Charmander: you should raise him patiently.\n\n\n\nIn other words, the game states it's not easy to raise Charmander and needs a\nlot of patience to raise it well (of course that in the game mechanics, it's\nless effective than in the anime).\n\nIn the anime, Ash's Charmander is found abandoned by Damien, saying that \"but\nthat puny thing was so weak it couldn't even beat the weakest opponent.\" Brock\nimmediately says \"Charmander may be weak against water Pokemon, but if their\ntrainers work hard they can be strong.\" points to the words of Prof. Oak in\nthe game.\n\nSo since Charmander was abandoned, it may cause a terrific change in his\nattitude with humans at the evolution with the next material, since not raised\nproperly from the beginning.\n\nAnd the reason for that, since the anime introduces a different approach to\nevolution, as in Advanced Challenge season ep26 \"Exploud And Clear\", a boy\nnamed Guy has a Loudred, and once evolved to Exploud, his entire behavior\nchanged by not taking orders from Guy. When Guy asked the gang about the\nevolution changing personality, Brock tells him confidently \"Absolutely, when\na pokemon evolves, it goes through a lot of changes. You'll not only notice a\npersonality change but also in its abilities too.\"\n\n\n\nStrange enough, in the first season when Ash's Charmander evolved, Brock\ndidn't say that, but probably his claiming is directly from Charmeleon\nbehavior changes.\n\nIn that episode, eventually, Guy is protecting Exploud from Team Rocket, and\nthen gain his Exploud trust again, with a less than half episode, Ash's\nCharmeleon and Charizard though, had been a lot of time together from the half\nof Indigo League through the Orange Islands, taking much more time than Guy\nand his Exploud, probably not only because Charmeleon's fast evolution but\nbecause of the above, making himself less trust in Ash's orders 'til see\nhimself as equal with him.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nYou have to look at this from a certain point of view, especially when taking\nthe badges and their obedience into account.\n\nThe first thing to note is to look at badges that come with an obedience\neffect, the Cascade, Rainbow, Marsh, and Earth Badges, none of them were won\nunder their rightful means.\n\n * Misty's sisters were just giving badges away and when Ash actually battled Misty for it, the battle didn't finish but Ash got the badge for blowing up Team Rocket.\n\n * Then the Marsh Badge (which came before Rainbow in the anime), Ash was defeated by the gym leader fair and square and in his 3rd attempt, the battle was more of a forfeit due to Kadabra laughing with Sabrina so that wasn't a victory that showed prowess as a trainer.\n\n * Then the Rainbow badge, that battle also did not finish as Team Rocket stopped that battle mid-way and then Ash goes into the flaming gym and saves Gloom and thus receives the badge so again Ash didn't defeat the gym leader and earn it.\n\n * Then the Earth badge, Ash didn't even battle the true gym leader, he battled Team Rocket who were more of stand-ins than the actual leaders. Yeah, they used some of Giovanni's pokemon but they were not actual leaders and thus Ash didn't even win the Earth badge under its rightful means.\n\nThis can show that the badges go beyond just receiving them. Like a leader can\njust say \"here you go\" and drop it in your pocket, that doesn't mean you\nshowed your ability as a trainer.\n\nI believe Ash had one shot to show Charmeleon he was capable in the episode\n\"Problem With Paris\". Ash sends out Charmeleon and thinks of Charmeleon's\nmindset, he's thinking \"I'm evolved, I'm powerful, let's do this\" he even\nlooks ready to battle. But what's the first thing Ash tells him? \"Go east on\nit\" that was probably it. ANY chance Ash had at controlling Charmeleon was\ngone right there. Charmeleon looks ready but once Ash tells it to lose, that's\nwhen Charmeleon looks pissed and glares at Ash then goes on a rampage. Even\nfurther in the episode, Ash shows no control, he just shows weakness and does\nnothing to stop or control Charmeleon. Pikachu is the one who has to step in\nand stop him.\n\nThe final thing to note is that Charmander had a previous owner, Damian so\ntechnically it's a \"traded\" pokemon which have a higher rate of disobedience.\n\n",

As such, when they evolve, they\ncan and will, become more stubborn and unwilling to listen, to instructions,\nthat their Trainer gives them.\n\nNow, as far as Charmeleon and Charizard, are concerned, you have to remember,\nthat, as Charmander, he, originally, belonged to Damian, who left him out in\nthe rain, to die. Therefore, Ash's Charmander did suffer, from abandonment\nissues and probably didn't, initially, trust Ash and, when he later evolved,\ninto Charmeleon and Charizard, he knew Ash was inexperienced, as a Trainer and\nlack of Gym Badges and is, therefore, why he disobeyed him. Also, it's a\npossibility, that, Charmander was a Traded Pokémon, which tend to be even more\nstubborn, than Trainer Caught Pokémon. Pikachu, initially, didn't respect or\ntrust Ash, probably because it was his first day, as a Pokémon Trainer and Ash\ndidn't really know, what he was doing or getting himself involved in and\nPikachu nearly died, by a flock of Spearow, who Ash was willing to protect\nPikachu from, which is why he leapt into the air and used Thundershock. The\nONLY REASON, why Charizard FINALLY started listening to Ash, is because of\nTeam Rocket AND despite his lack of experience as a Trainer or Gym Badges, Ash\nstill had heart and cared for his Pokémon, as if they were family.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nNo, HM's and TM's never (see EDIT 2) appear in the _regular episodic_ anime.\n\nIt's understandable that these would be omitted from the anime. Often, these\nwould be used in the games to allow the player to access different areas of\nthe game. Because the game was viewed from top down, a simple rock in your\npath could cause a serious issue. This is why the games had HM's/TM's like\n_Rock Smash_ , to get around such obstacles.\n\nHowever, consider a similiar scenario in the anime. If there was a very large\nrock in the path of Ash and co., they would not likely need a Pokemon to move\nor smash it. If they did, the rock would have to be _pretty massive_ to block\nthe way, and there would be other ways around it. The use of TM's and HM's in\nthe anime/manga was not as apparent, and was left out accordingly.\n\nFrom [a post on GameFAQs](http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/925601-pokemon-\ndiamond-version/52636077):\n\n> In the anime, every pokemon pretty much automatically knows every move it\n> can learn. Because, ya know... it would make more sense.\n\nAnd from [a thread on\nPokeCommunity](http://www.pokecommunity.com/archive/index.php/t-298496.html):\n\n> I don't think they'll ever be in the anime, since anime-verse move learning\n> is generally more... dare I apply this term to the anime... logical than\n> game-verse. Anime-verse TM/HM moves seem to be taught and worked on and\n> developed like a skill rather than just implanted. Like... Pikachu and Iron\n> Tail, Baoppu and Solarbeam... they were both taught and spent time mastering\n> that particular move. They didn't just randomly learn it from a rather hazy\n> \"level up\" method.\n>\n> So yeah, no. TM and HM moves are taught, not implanted. The discs we use in\n> game don't really work in anime-verse.\n\n**EDIT:** As noted by @Dragon, there are Pokemon in the anime that know moves\nthat can be learned through HM's/TM's in the games, such as _surf_ and _rock\nclimb_ , but there is no evidence that these moves were learned specifically\nfrom an HM or TM.\n\n**EDIT 2:** As noted by @Dragon and @Riley, there is a Pokemon movie called\n_Pokemon Origins_ , that seems to have some version of HM's/TM's, as seen\n[here](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/HM#In_the_anime). Sometimes in\nthe Pokemon movies, different aspects are created or shown differently (as\nplot devices, if necessary). In _Pokemon Origins_ , HM's are mentioned, but\ntheir existence in the rest of the anime is still unknown. There is also a\nreference to a few different HM's/TM's in the manga and the previously linked\nsource, so it seems that they may exist in the Pokemon universe, or at least\nthey did at some point. Credit to @Dragon for this find\n\n",

Besides his campaign against the\nmilitary, Shoko Ahagon was a Christian convert who admonished fellow Okinawans\nto live a respectable lifestyle, emphasizing issues such as temperance, and a\nproper work ethic.

If you look at page 111 of the [New Game!\nillustration book Fairies\nStory](https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B01MU07KJF/ref=dp-kindle-\nredirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1), it has an introduction of Umiko's setting,\nwhere it specifically states that\n\n> she has a complex about her name sounding like a kaijuu.\n\nNote that Ahagon is a relatively rare name that comes from Okinawa. Most\npeople would not be familiar with the name and if they've ever watched\nsomething like Ultraman as a kid, they might first think it's a kaijuu name,\nwhich is probably why it's become a complex for her.\n\nExplanation about kaijuu If you look at the list of [kaijuu of the Ultraman\nseries](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A6%E3%83%AB%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E6%80%AA%E7%8D%A3%E4%B8%80%E8%A6%A7),\nyou will see there are 98 monsters that end in \"-gon\". (Others include \"-don\",\n\"-ton\" \"-mon\" \"-ron\", and I believe it stems from how many dinosaurs end in\n\"-don\", so these endings give that same feeling of something large and\npowerful.) It is a common game to add or change the end of a name to make it\nsound like a kaijuu. In English, I suppose it would like like adding\n\"-(s)aurus\" so the end of names to make them sound dinosaur-like\".\n\nAs for \"matching her appearance\", I believe so because it she is Okinawan, and\nhas a deep suntan. Okinawa is a tropical area of Japan, where it is warm most\ntimes of the year and with beautiful beaches, therefore it is full of heavily-\ntanned people. A bit stereotypical, but that's what a person would expect to\nsee from an Okinawan.\n\n",

There is a scene\nwhere he lost his head, and his body is still moving, looking for the head.\nUntil Kakuzu stitched Hidan's head to his body. Then in the scene where\nShikamaru buried him, Hidan is literally disconnected with his body (or did\nsome of his parts even get vaporized?) But his head is still working.\nSupposing his body parts could still move on its own regardless if they are\nnot connected with a central nervous system, could Hidan \"chew\", \"claw\",\n\"divide\" his way out of the hole? and then from some bit make himself whole\nagain? His becoming whole again would incur maybe centuries, lets just say\nthat somehow his tissues would become whole again over time. The topic would\nbe, if he could get out of the mound which Shikamaru created from him.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIt is impossible for Hidan to crawl out of his hole.\n\n 1. His body was destroyed. When he was captured by Shikamaru, his body was exploded using exploding tags, leaving only his head. So, having his body digging the hole would be impossible.\n 2. While Hidan is immortal, he doesn't seems to possess healing ability. This is proofed by the fact that he needs Kakuzu to stitch his head back to his body. He can't do this himself by means of regeneration. So, it'd be impossible for him to regenerate his already lost body and have it dig for him.\n 3. He was buried several meters underground. It wasn't said how many meters but from the image shown in the manga and the anime, I'd say it is about 3 meters or more with the diameter approximately 1 meter. So using the formula for tube volume, pi x r x r x h, we get 3.14 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 3, which is 2.356 meter cubic of soil. [1 meter cubic of soil is about 1,200 kg](http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/earth-soil-weight-d_1349.html), so that means he have 2,827.433 kg of soil weighing his head.\n 4. Digging from inside is an impossible task. When digging from outside, you move the mass from one place to another. However, since his head is surrounded by soil, suppose that he use his mouth to try digging, he would not have place to put the soil away, not to mention that when he do so, the soil above would fall down. His option would be to swallow it, but I doubt he would be able to swallow 2,800 kg of soil and then using his mouth to climb out of the hole.\n 5. Hidan is buried in a forest belonging to the Nara clan. Suppose that somehow he managed to climb his way up, as implied by Shikamaru when he buried Hidan, the deer in that forest would contact the Nara clan and someone would send his head back into the hole and bury him again.\n 6. He can't wait for centuries. Naruto Second Fanbook stated that while Hidan is indeed still alive, he is dying from malnutrition.\n\n",

The first Nishi that I\nthink of is（西）which means West, and the first goku I can think of is（国）which\nmeans Kingdom/Country. Thus, it would be somewhat a word play of her own name\nsince Tou（東）in Toukyou（東 **京** ）means East.\n\nNow, it is quite common for writers to use pen name that is similar to his/her\nreal name and is related to him/her somehow. An example for this would be\nJoanne Rowling whose pen name was J. K. Rowling with the K. taken from her\npaternal grandmother's name, Kathleen. Another example would be the writer\nSaito Satoshi whose born name was Saito Tomohiro, more commonly known under\nhis stage name as actor, Hiro Mizushima which uses the same Saito as in his\nreal name. An example from another anime would be Kousaka Kirino whose pen\nname was Rino.\n\nWhich brings me to the question, is Nishikyougoku Ramuko really a play of her\nreal name Toushinou Kyouko?

"body": "\n\nThere's some confusion about what \"[Tanken Nichijou no\nMachi](http://myanimelist.net/anime/10807/Nichijou__Tanken_Nichijou_no_Machi)\"\nis.\n\nIt is _not_ the thing you've seen subtitles for. The things you've seen\nsubtitled are a promotional video and [some unaired next-episode\npreviews](https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/35796/). Typically, these things\nare not construed as \"specials\", but in this case, they've been incorrectly\nconflated with and mistaken for \"Tanken Nichijou no Machi\", which MAL thinks\nare specials.\n\n\"Tanken Nichijou no Machi\" does _not_ consist of a promotional video and some\nunaired next-episode previews. Rather, it is a series of ~10-minute live-\naction clips featuring the _Nichijou_ cast and staff (mostly Shiraishi Minoru,\nreally) doing things that have hardly anything to do with the actual show.\nHere is [the first of\nthem](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXdhyyWeX8Y&list=PL0_XyQ09RMgHEGRTBch8uhqsrYRVfBedK)\non YouTube (could go down at any time).\n\nThey're kind of interesting to watch, I guess, but again, they have\n_absolutely_ nothing to do with _Nichijou_ besides featuring the cast and\nstaff from the show.\n\nI suspect that [MAL is the ultimate source of this\nmisinformation](http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=293477). If somebody\nknows how to get an entry delisted from MAL, they should probably do that with\n\"Tanken Nichijou no Machi\".\n\n* * *\n\nAnyway, to answer your title question, I think there are 11 episodes of\n\"Tanken Nichijou no Machi\". YouTube appears to have [episode\n11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXzQkSEgryc&list=PL0_XyQ09RMgHEGRTBch8uhqsrYRVfBedK&index=9),\nand the official website for the manga lists episode 11 being [planned for\ninclusion in BD 13](http://www.shinonome-lab.com/goods/dvd_13.html) (the last\nvolume).\n\nHowever, this is a little confusing, since [BD 1](http://www.shinonome-\nlab.com/goods/dvd_1.html) and [BD 2](http://www.shinonome-\nlab.com/goods/dvd_2.html) appear to include a thing called \"Tanken Nichijou no\nMachi\", which might be distinct from \"Tanken Hakken Nichijou no Machi 1\" on\n[BD 3](http://www.shinonome-lab.com/goods/dvd_3.html) (continuing through to\nBD 13, which lists \"Tanken Hakken Nichijou no Machi 11\"). So the answer might\nactually be 12 or 13? It almost certainly isn't 14, though.\n\nThere is something of a lack of information on the internet about _Nichijou_\n's BD content, because the discs had _abysmal_ sales, owing to the large\nnumber of them (13 for 26 episodes; 11 or 12 is more common, I think) and the\nhigh cost of each individual volume.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThe items were most likely not intended by the developers to be a part of the\nPokémon, but rather, a part of the Pokémon's design. For instance, the entry\non Braixen from the _Pokémon X_ game is:\n\n> It has a twig stuck in its tail. With friction from its tail fur, it sets\n> the twig on fire and launches into battle.\n\nSource: <http://serebii.net/pokedex-xy/654.shtml>\n\nSo, do all Braixen have twigs? Yes, they do, but this is just because it is a\ngame, and that is how Braixen was designed. And the anime reflects the designs\nin the games, and sometimes the anime tries to give some reasoning as to why\nthe Pokémon have these items. But is this twig a part of Braixen? No. As\nevident by the Pokédex entry, the twig is just something that is stuck in its\ntail for whatever reason. It is also evident in the anime because they were\nable to replace it when it was broken in the episode _Mending a Broken\nSpirit!_ (Japanese episode title: _A Broken Twig: A Broken Heart! Braixen's\nStrong Feelings!!_ )\n\nEdit: If we reference Pokédex entries, we see that they tell a narrative\nthat's a little different from what we see in the games and in the anime. For\ninstance, from Braixen's entry, I think the narrative is trying to say the\ntwig in it's tail is just a twig it picked up on a stroll through a forest. If\nwe look at what actually happens in the game and anime though, the twig\nmagically appear as soon as Fennekin evolves. The point I'm trying to make is\nthat there is a lot of hand-waving going on when a Pokémon evolves.\n\nIf you'll also recall in the first season of the Pokémon anime, Ash's Caterpie\ndid not evolve in the same manner as all subsequent Pokémon. To become\nMetapod, it encased itself in a cocoon using string shot, and to become\nButterfree, it broke the shell. This means of evolution makes more sense, but\nit wouldn't be feasible to come up with a unique means of evolution for every\nPokémon. I suspect that the white glow method was adopted from the games as a\nconvenience since so many Pokémon were going to evolve during the series and\nit introduced this inconsistency with items appearing out of nowhere.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThis seems like an awfully fuzzy thing to try to delineate. I'm going to claim\nthat the answer to your question is \"you classify an AMV as an ASMV whenever\nyou think that sounds like the right thing to do\".\n\nSee, the thing is, \"ASMV\" is strictly a piece of fandom jargon that sees no\nuse outside a small sub-subcommunity of the subcommunity of AMV creators. As\nsuch, there is no authoritative prescriptive definition of this term that we\ncan use to answer your question.\n\nSince we cannot hope for a prescriptive answer to your question, we must\ninstead turn to a descriptive approach - the question we now seek to answer is\n\"what do people who use the term 'ASMV' typically mean when they use it?\"\nrather than \"what ― in some absolute sense ― does 'ASMV' _mean_?\".\n\nHowever, this question is also nigh-unanswerable. Despite this phrase\nseemingly having a transparent and compositional meaning (unlike, say,\n\"floogleglorp\"), people who discuss this term do not seem to arrive at a\nconsensus about what it means. As evidence, I present [this 2013 thread from\nAMV.org](http://www.animemusicvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=118514), where\na number of people involved in the creation of AMVs are unable to agree on\nwhat the term means (or should mean). I can hardly find any other good\ndiscussions of the term (or even of \"ASMVs\" s a concept); I think that this\nstrongly suggests that there is not a shared understanding of what is meant by\nthe term \"ASMV\".\n\nGiven that we cannot identify a definition for this term, it surely is not\npossible to answer questions about nuanced things like \"Do [speeches] have to\nunderlay the very majority of the whole AMV or is it ok if they underlay only\n1/4th of it?\". Hence, you may as well use \"ASMV\" to mean whatever you want it\nto, provided that it still has some relation to the compositional meaning \"an\nanime music video that in some way involves a story\". Perhaps other speakers\nwill coalesce around your conception of what exactly constitutes an \"ASMV\".\n\n(But ― personal opinion here ― I doubt this term will ever see increased use,\nsince it does not really serve any purpose, at least not that I can see. AMVs\nthat tell a somewhat coherent story have been around since time immemorial,\nand people have gotten by just fine without a discrete term for them, which\nsuggests to me that this neologism is unlikely to be taken up by people.)\n\n* * *\n\nSide note: the earliest attestation I find for \"ASMV\" is [this YouTube video\nfrom 2011](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaxXPOjKqZk).\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThere are 25 of these previews (since there are 26 episodes, and episode 1\ndoesn't get one, naturally). BD volumes 1-12 come with two each; volume 13\ncomes with one. Each preview is 30 seconds long, and perhaps reflects what\nKyoAni had planned to use as the previews before switching to the scheme they\nactually used (non-sequitur voiceovers from guest voice actors, mostly).\n\nVideo-wise, all of them are set to footage that was already in the main\nseries; the only new part is the audio. What follows are brief summaries of\nthe contents of each one, starting with the preview for episode 2. Note that\nthe previews for episodes 6 and 7 are missing because I haven't actually seen\nthose.\n\n 2. Yukko/Mio. Yukko and Mio talk aimlessly about zodiac signs. Yukko reports the death of one \"Mikhail Libra\", age 55. \n 3. Nano/Sakamoto. Nano calls Sakamoto various things (\"Sakamoto-kun\", \"[Ryouma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ry%C5%8Dma)\", etc), and Sakamoto gets generally offended by said things. \n 4. Yukko/Mio/Mai. Mostly Yukko making hilarious sound effects (\"Za! Guwa! Shu! Zubaan! Strike!\", etc).\n 5. Yukko/Mio. Picks back up with zodiac signs after the episode 2 preview. \"Let's combine Cancer and Scorpio into 'Crustacean!'\", suggests Yukko. \n 6. ???\n 7. ???\n 8. Dolph / Princess Starla. Dolph says things in a funny voice. \n 9. Nano/Hakase. Hakase makes Nano capable of getting cavities. Nano enjoys this (it makes her more normal), but then she notices that something hurts. Turns out that Hakase also just gave her a cavity right off the bat.\n 10. Yukko/Mai/Mio. Yukko writes \"E\" on the back of her hand, but can't remember what she meant by it. Mai and Mio try to guess, but fail. Turns out, it was \"[European heart urchin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brissopsis_lyrifera)\", which is apparently [a meme](http://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/%E3%83%A8%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AD%E3%83%83%E3%83%91%E3%82%BF%E3%83%8C%E3%82%AD%E3%83%96%E3%83%B3%E3%83%96%E3%82%AF).\n 11. Yukko/Mai. Yukko asks Mai what a \"[Living National Treasure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_National_Treasure_\\(Japan\\))\" is. Mai tells her that to become one, you must be able to recite the contents of a large number of textbooks by heart. This is, of course, a joke.\n 12. The vice principal / the principal. The vice principal tells the principal to say words like \"pappelbon\" and \"shishikabago\". The vice principal is rather amused when he does so, unnerving the principal.\n 13. Annaka / Ms. Sakurai. Annaka starts calling Ms. Sakurai \"Ms. Izumi\", which makes her very nervous. \n 14. Hakase/Nano/Sakamoto. \"Is 'borscht' food?\" Yes. \"Is 'shark chocolate' food?\" Yes. \"Is 'shark' food?\" Yes. \"Eeeeeek!\"\n 15. Yukko/Mio. More zodiac signs. Yukko is troubled by Gemini being two people yet only counting as one zodiac signs. Why not split them up into separate Castor and Pollux zodiac signs?\n 16. Mr. Takasaki. He teaches his students about the power and versatility of the (English, not translated) word \"ENOUGH!\". And also \"baka\". \n 17. Yukko/Mio. Yukko gets \"San Francisco\" and \"Francisco Xavier\" mixed up. \n 18. Makoto / Mr. Takasaki. Makoto asks Mr. Takasaki to be the advisor for the go-soccer club, and offers to set him up with his sister in exchange. Naturally, Mr. Takasaki is hugely flustered.\n 19. Misato/Mihoshi. Misato is feeling down; Mihoshi suggests she ask Sasahara for help. Misato then blows something up. Classic gundere!\n 20. Hakase/Sakamoto/Nano. Hakase pretends to be a maid and serves Sakamoto food - but using a [mortar and pestle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suribachi_and_surikogi), which Sakamoto is affronted by.\n 21. Yukko/Mai. Yukko says \"selamat pagi\" to Mai; they then have a conversation in what I assume is Indonesian. Yukko eventually gets frustrated and says \"bakayarosu\" (sounds like _baka yarou_ \"you fool\"), which Mai points out is a food. This appears to be a Japanization of the Greek word for \"cod\" (μπακαλιάρος / bakaliáros)? _Nichijou_ is weird sometimes. \n 22. Nano / Ms. Nakamura. Nano comments on the cuteness of Ms. Nakamura's streetwear; she is thrown quite off guard by this. \n 23. Yukko/Mio. Yukko's still going on about zodiac signs; this time, it's Ophiuchus. Seriously, what's the deal? You can't just _add_ another zodiac sign! What is he, a transfer student? \"Your seat is the one between Scorpio and Sagittarius\"? And then Virgo falls in love with him, and Aquarius gets jealous of them, and suddenly! Mikhail Libra out of nowhere!\n 24. Hakase/Mai. Hakase asks Mai what she's drawing; in typical Mai fashion, she's drawing [Gōzanze Myōō](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailokyavijaya), \"space\", and something else I don't quite get. \"Are there sharks in space?\" asks Hakase. Apparently, yes. \n 25. Mihoshi/Misato. Misato vigorously denies ever talking to Sasahara or even being acquainted with him at all. She closes with \"it's not like the next episode is going to be episode 25 or anything, okay?\". \n 26. Nano/Yukko. Nano tries to ask about how Yukko often calls herself an idiot. Yukko replies that \"she's an idiot, but also a genius, so it's okay\". \n\n",

We see the Room or Origin\ntwice as being the center point of the universe being created. the first time\nwas when Madoka recreated the universe and the second time was when Homura did\nit at the end of Rebellion (in Rebellion Homura says she's been there once\nbefore when the Incubator asks where they were). Since this is really ground\nzero for the start of the new universe we can make the assumption that a part\nof the old universe still exists inside the Room or Origin, serving as the\nbasis.\n\nThe third reason could be that Homura retained her memories and abilities\nbecause she was key to creating Madoka's Universe. It was her terminating the\ntimelines that compiles Madoka's Karmic Destiny that allowed her to become a\ngod. In Homura's Universe Madoka regaining her memories would return her to\nbecoming the full Law of Cycles once more and Sayaka retaining her memories\ninitially could be because she is a part of the Law of Cycles as her secretary\nuntil Homura sealed them and probably sealed Nagisa before hand (since she did\ncreate a new life for Nagisa)\n\n",

"body": "\n\nFirst off. when Homulily appears the Puella Magi were still inside Homura's\nSoul Gem which is still inside the Incubator's Isolation Field. the purpose of\nthis field was to isolate Homura's Soul Gem from the rest of the universe to\nobserve what happens to a Soul Gem before it shatters and taken by the Law of\nCycles, hopefully understanding how the Law of Cycles works and ultimately\ncontrol it to reinstate the Witch System for energy gathering (it being far\nsuperior to the current method of killing Wraiths as indicated by the\nIncubator at the end of series (after Madoka remade the Universe and Homura\nexplained it to them))\n\nAlso Madoka was without her power. when she became aware of the Incubator's\nPlot she wanted to save Homura, however it was obviously a trap so her\nmemories and power was given to 2 people, Sayaka and Nagisa. because Madoka\nsees and exists in the universe at all points in time it's hard to tell what\nhappened in the universe while she was away however remember that it wasn't\nuntil the Puella Magi destroyed the Isolation Field and freed every did Madoka\nKami descend.\n\nwith Nagisa and Sayaka, remember that Witches are Magical Girls who gave into\ndespair. the result of Madoka's Wish, as the Law of Cycles, was to appear\nbefore a Magical Girl and allow them to die with hope, knowing they wont turn\ninto the very thing they have been stopping in hurting they people they care\nabout. Both Mami and The Incubators note that when the Law of Cycles takes a\nMagical Girl away their Soul Gem Shatters and we see this happen in the\nprevious universe too, the same thing happens when they became a witch but\ninstead the Soul Gem reforms into a Grief Seed.\n\nBecause Magical Girl's and Witches are the same and as the Incubators said\n\n> since this country calls women who are still growing up shoujo (少女 girls),\n> for girls who on the way of becoming majo (魔女 witches), it's logical to call\n> them mahou shoujo (魔法少女 magical girls).\n\none can assume that the potential to become a Witch is always present which is\nwhy Madoka could become a Witch after making her contract and destroying\nWalpurgisnacht in one attack (since what was she despairing over? Everyone\nelse but Homura was already gone) and how she has to take a Magical Girl away\nbefore they become a witch. because Sayaka and Nagisa worked with Madoka in\nthis mission to save Homura it's possible Madoka may have helped them control\ntheir Witch form or they learned to do it themselves as preparation for this1,\nno one really knows what becomes of Magical Girls when in Madoka's Care in.\n\ni do discount the theory that their Witch Forms was apart of the powers Madoka\ngave them as Sayaka and Nagisa gave this back to Madoka in the end yet in\nHomura's Universe Sayaka was about to summon Oktavia before Homura interfeared\n\n* * *\n\n1: after all, they are dealing with a race who could hide Homura's pending\ntransformation from Madoka, and they are conniving little white shits!\n\n",

It is a very sad situation that\nalmost makes you want to die.\n\nEDIT:\n\nFound the below content\n[here](http://fma.wikia.com/wiki/Alphonse_Elric/History)\n\n> During the night, after Edward's emergency surgery was completed\n> successfully, Alphonse discovered the true tragedy of his new body.\n> **_Incapable of physical sensation and sleep_** , he began to feel detached\n> from others and lamented the long solitude of restless night.\n\nThis clearly states his disability to sleep.\n\n",

When the two trainers throw Poké Balls and hit a\nPokémon at the same time, the Poké Balls combine and there is a greater chance\nthe Pokémon will be caught.\n\nSpeculative answer:\n\nIn _Pokémon Adventures: Gold and Silver_ , Kurt explained that Poké Balls work\nby using a \"capture net\", which is very similar to a real net. In fact, in the\nmanga, the gym leader Bugsy does use a real net with his Poké Balls. So in the\nhypothetical case where two Poké Balls hit one Pokémon, the result would be\nsimilar to two nets being used. The nets would interfere with each other and\nneither one would fully encapsulate Taurus. Taurus possibly would be\nimmobilized for a short time before it broke free from both nets. In the anime\nit would glow red and become energy for a moment.\n\nFrom [Bulbapedia](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9_Ball):\n\n> In the manga, Bugsy refers to his \"capture net\" as being the net that is\n> supposedly inside a Poké Ball, but visible and already deployed. According\n> to Kurt, this invisible net captures and physically stores a Pokémon.\n\nAs for better Poké Balls, such as a Great Ball, I would suspect their nets\nwould be bigger and stronger, so they would be able to envelop the other Poké\nBall's net and cancel it out. Thus, Taurus would be captured by the Great\nBall.\n\n",

Surely all the victims he investigated had their name and face,\nbut how can he figure that he needs both? The stunt on tv with Lind L. Tailor\nonly proved that Kira can't kill anyone, and there are certain criteria. I'm\nnot sure how that concludes that he needs both name and face.\n\nEdit: To clarify, here's how I look at it. L analyzes all the victims of the\nKira killings and noticed that what was broadcast about the criminals was\ntheir face and their name. How does he conclude that Kira needs both? Why not\njust a face? When Kira kills Lind L. Tailor, that only validates that Kira has\nthe ability to kill people, to which L himself even says \"I couldn't believe\nit until I saw it, but it appears you can kill without being there in person.\"\nWhen Kira subsequently is unable to kill L, L can then deduce that there are\npeople Kira can't kill. However he concludes Kira needs both name and face,\nwhich I don't understand. To me, at that point 3 conclusions are viable: Kira\nneeds a name AND a face. Kira needs just a name. Kira needs just a face.\n\n",

This means that Mimihagi is\npresent during the final battle.\n\nThere are two mysteries within the final battle: how did Ichigo actually\ndefeat Yhwach, when Yhwach could simply future shatter the sword, and why did\nIchigo's sword regress to his original Shikai? The answer to both is Mimihagi.\nAnd we must answer the first before we can answer the second.\n\nMimihagi does not ever appear within Yhwach's future visions. We see Yhwach\nfreaking out in 617 when Mimihagi intervenes. This makes sense: Yhwach can see\nthe future, not the past.\n\nAfter the Almighty fully activates, Yhwach's visions do not fail. Yet during\nthe final battle, he gets shot by Uryu and cut by Ichigo. Obviously, he didn't\nforesee these events since they proved fatal. From what we know, we can deduce\nthat Mimihagi is interfering with the powers of the Almighty. Yhwach cannot\nsee visions involving Mimihagi, and since he absorbed Mimihagi, the Almighty\nwill not behave perfectly when used on situations that he is in.\n\nBefore he is shot, Yhwach attempts to envelop the Soul Society in darkness.\nHowever, the power of Quincies isn't darkness. They wield weapons made of\nliteral light. In employing Mimihagi's power so recklessly, he weakened the\ninfluence of the Almighty, allowing Uryu to fully disable it.\n\nNow the answer to your question:\n\n**When Yhwach reached out his hand enshrouded in darkness to shatter Ichigo's\nblade, he accidentally employed the wrong power. He couldn't use the\nAlmighty's power in that situation, so he inadvertently used Mimihagi. But\nMimihagi doesn't destroy, it stagnates, it regresses. So instead of shattering\nIchigo's blade, Yhwach forced it to return to the original form**\n\n",

Also, neither\nMahiro nor Aika's parents are ever shown in the anime, are they dead? If so,\nis there any information concerning their deaths?\n\nI have heard that there's also a Manga, so it might be that the anime is\nmissing some information.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThe English title of the series _Sweetness and Lightning_ is a pun on the\nidiom \"[sweetness and\nlight](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweetness_and_light)\".\n\nThe original Japanese title is _Amaama to Inazuma_ (甘々と稲妻). I wanted to find\nout if there was a similar pun behind the Japanese title, so I started by\nlooking up the words and was surprised to find that it's basically a literal\ntranslation of the English title: _amaama_ [means \"sweet\" or\n\"sugary\"](http://www.japandict.com/%E7%94%98%E3%80%85) and is the character 甘\n(sweet) repeated, and _inazuma_ [means\n\"lightning\"](http://www.japandict.com/%E7%A8%B2%E5%A6%BB).\n\nWithout some kind of pun or joke behind it similar to the one in English, the\nJapanese title seems like sort of a strange combination of words to hit upon.\nIt's such a direct equivalent to the English title that it almost looks like\nthe English title was conceived of first and then translated back into\nJapanese, but that doesn't make sense because if the original author Gido\nAmagakure had come up with the English title, that would probably just be the\ntitle, since so many anime are named in English already.\n\nI'm curious if there are any linguistic reasons to pick the Japanese title.\nI'm not asking for thematic reasons; the title is thematically appropriate in\nboth languages, even without the pun. I'm asking why there was such a suitable\npun in the English version that apparently didn't exist in the Japanese title,\nand whether the Japanese version also contains some pun or reference that I've\nmissed. Was the fact that it translates so well into English just a massive\ncoincidence? Is there something more to the Japanese title that I'm not\nseeing?\n\n",

Implying that someone is widowed.\n\n甘々ちゃん however is a bit more complex.\n\nIt can be interpreted as 甘な甘ちゃん. The expression here is a bit multifaceted, so\nI will try to break it down.\n\nWhile 甘い does mean sweet, but it has other meaning out side of food. When used\nto describe a person, it can also mean naive.\n\nSomeone who is referred to as an 甘ちゃん can be described as a \"soft\" or \"naive\"\nperson. Adding 甘い to describe someone who is an 甘ちゃん reinforces the naive\nstereotype. The nuiance here is a bit negative,implying that this person is a\nclueless (naive) idiot.\n\nOne can imply that the title refers to Inuzuma-sensei, being a very soft\nspoken, yet clueless single parent raising a daughter, who not only doesn't\nknow how to cook, but doesn't know to to take care of Tsumugi (in place of his\nlate wife).\n\nYou could imply that the alternate meaning to \"sweetness and lighting\" to be\n\"the naive widow\".\n\n* * *\n\nHowever, if you refer to the author's afterword in vol.1 of the manga,\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/8mApa.jpg)\n\nDespite many alternate interpretations of the title, the title is intended to\nbe something warm and fuzzy that appeals to the 5 senses, nothing more than\nthat.\n\n",

(wish granted, goku turns back into a kid)\n\n * During his fight with Baby, Goku turned **SSJ4** and with it, became so strong that the magic of Ultimate Shenron could not affect him anymore. _This was stated in the anime._ He was too powerful for Shenron's magic to affect him.\n\n * After turning back into his base form, _he became a kid again_. He didn't go back to being an adult. So Ultimate Shenron's magic reasserted itself when he was no longer SSJ4.\n * At the very **end** of GT, we see the future. We see Pan being a very old lady, and a mini-goku and mini-vegeta fighting in the World Martial Arts Tournament. The mini-Goku was implied to be Pan's grandchild. Since we don't see them, we can assume that all of the Z fighters have passed away from old age. Goku is now walking around the tournament grounds, all grown up again in his base form, still having his tail (proving the wish wasn't reversed, because then his tail would have been gone) just before the end-credits come into play.\n\n## The question\n\n**If the Goku we see at the end turned SSJ4, would he get old and die?**\n\nIf Goku hadn't become a child and grown up again because of Ultimate Shenron's\nmagic, he presumably would be dead of old age by the time of the finale just\nlike everyone else is. But as we saw before, if he turns SSJ4, Ultimate\nShenron's magic wears off and doesn't affect him anymore. So is Ultimate\nShenron's magic the only thing keeping him alive? Without it, would he become\nold and die like he would have if it had never affected him in the first\nplace?\n\n",

The youth he gains would\njust be a side effect of the wish. The wording of a wish is very important, as\ncan be seen when Shenron granted the wish to revive everyone on Namek killed\nby Frieza and his henchmen. That wish didn't revive the people Vegeta killed\nbecause Vegeta broke off from Frieza.\n\nSupposing the wish is still considered to be in effect, he still wouldn't\nbecome an old man when transforming. The reason he becomes an adult is to\nnegate the **negative effect** of the wish on his power. Once he becomes an\nadult again, the wish actually has a **positive effect** because it is keeping\nhim in his prime. During the Saiyain Saga, Shenron told everyone he couldn't\nuse his magic to kill Vegeta and Nappa because they were too strong. At the\nsame time, we don't doubt that Shenron would be able to make the Saiyains\nimmortal if their plans to get the Dragon Balls succeeded. So, it isn't just a\ncase of Shenron's magic not affecting people who are stronger than him. It is\nalso a matter of whether the person wants to be affected. This can be\nexplicitly seen when Porunga is unable to bring Goku back to earth after Namek\nexplodes because Goku refuses.\n\nIf you recall, King Piccolo wished to restore his youth, but he was also\nstronger than Shenron, as evidenced by him being able to destroy the dragon.\nThe wish still worked.\n\nAlso, just in case anyone is confused, all the examples I used were from the\noriginal Shenron and Porunga, but they should still apply to Ultimate Shenron.\nThe only difference is that Ultimate Shenron is stronger, so it requires more\nstrength (super saiyain 4 level) to overpower his magic.\n\n",

This was shown by aging Bulma,Yamcha,Chichi,Krillin etc from the\nFreeza arc to the Buu arc in the original.\n\nNext, and the real clencher here is Goku's state at the end of GT.

I do sincerely doubt that the previous magic held over him would have\nany effect after that.\n\nFinally, The wish was to make him a kid again. Since he grew out of that, the\nmagic would not hold on him anymore.

"body": "\n\nThe Pokémon captured by the trainer belongs to the trainer; when he dies, he\nhas the choice of releasing them or keeping them in their Poké Balls. They\nwill definitely not die with the trainer.\n\nIf some other people such as family members releases the Pokémon, it will go\nback to the wild and become a very strong wild Pokémon. If they don't however,\nthere are many cases such as the Pokémon being passed down to the next\ngeneration (if they are qualified). It is similar in our world where if the\nparents die, some of their belongings goes to the next generation. Someone\ngives them to a professor somewhere, or the Pokémon just stays in the ball\nwhich will have two more cases:\n\n 1. it will eventually break out and escape or stay in the Poké Ball until someone finds it. \n\n 2. Or as Hakase pointed out, the Pokémon can stay in the Poké Balls for a very long time where no one knows what will happen to it. From the cases shown in the link by Hakase, the Pokémon seem to be fine after a few years without food and water.\n\nMy sources of info are the [link posted by\nHakase](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/29538) and the Pokémon anime.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI would assume the pokemon a trainer has in their pokeballs would still be in\nthere like normal. There's nothing about the trainer and the pokeballs that\nkeeps them in there, so my guess is it'd be just like if you died and had\npets. Family members, friends, looters, etc. would take your pokemon and re-\npurpose them, i.e. use them, donate them, release them into the wild, etc.\n\nIf the pokemon were a free-roaming one, like Ash's Pikachu, then it may just\nget sad and mope around, find a new trainer, find family, etc.\n\nThey've actually demonstrated this few times on the show. Kind of how Ash got\nCharmander. Granted, his Charmander was abandonded, but you get the idea.\n<http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/EP011>\n\n",
