"body": "\n\nThe picture below is a partial screen cap from time mark 1:44 of [episode 24\nof Haikyu!!](http://www.crunchyroll.com/haikyu/episode-24-the-absolute-limit-\nswitch-692197), 2nd Season. [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/wMbY1.jpg)\nMy main question involves Karasuno's team banner, with the calligraphy for\n**Fly**. Several times this season the banner's translation is shown with the\nword \"Fly\" broken into two lines. In each episode, there was obviously room\nfor the \"y\" to appear on the same line with the rest of the word.\n\n 1. Was splitting it a pure mistake, possibly caused by some production issue? I can imagine that maybe the translator was rushed and confused, or perhaps somehow could not tell that the entire word \"Fly\" would have fit on a single line.\n 2. Was the split done out of habit? I've seen that Japanese is sometimes written horizontally and sometimes vertically. Perhaps the translator just did not realize how odd it would look in English to see a 3-character word split.\n 3. Was the split a pure artistic choice? It seems unlikely, but maybe there is some concept within the Japanese calligraphy that could be expressed in English by splitting the word \"Fly\". I can sort of get it -- **Fly** , by its very nature, is a vertical concept.\n\nSince the same frame contained Aoba Johsai's banner, I might as well ask the\nopposite question concerning it. Why did the translators not split the word\n\"Court\" from the rest of the slogan so that it would appear below \"Rule the\"?\nThis would allow the translation to not overflow the banner, as well as avoid\na partial overwrite of a second calligraphic character.\n\nThe cinematography of the banners here is interesting. They are intentionally\njuxtaposed thematically, not as they actually were placed in the stadium.\nPerhaps the key is not in the individual slogans, but in the viewing them as a\nset.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n(Consider this a comment to the answer by @senshin . Using _answer_ format so\nthat I can format text normally and show an image.)\n\nSince you (senshin) went to extra effort for your answer, I felt inspired to\nreply in kind. You state concerning the script excerpt:\n\n> Nothing here indicates that the word \"Fly\" was supposed to be broken across\n> two lines.\n\nI agree, but I think your excerpt reveals the bug. (It is possibly still\nintentional, but I doubt it.) Let's look at a few of the script parameters,\nfrom the **[V4+ Styles]** section.\n\n[code]\n\n MarginL: 667 (left margin)\n MarginR: 133 (right margin)\n MarginV: 69 (vertical (top) margin)\n Alignment: 9 (probably means text is right justified)\n (duration = End - Start = 0:01:45.66 - 0:01:43.41 = 2.25 sec)\n \n[/code]\n\nThe **[Events]** section repeats these values, probably allowing them to work\nwithin the primary values assigned by **[V4 Styles]**. But since these second\nvalues are all 0, the base values are not further bounded. (I added\n**duration** to make it clear that Start and End were time parameters, not\nlocation.)\n\nAssume those are values forming an area in which to place the text, \"Fly\".\nOkay, what are the units, and in what context? Continuing with the\nassumptions, the units are pixels, with (0,0) being the ULC of the image. I\nexperimented to decide the resolution, at first thinking they might be might\nbe for a 1000-wide image, and scaled to the user's desired resolution. That\ndidn't work; it needed to be smaller. Since 480p (858x480) is a standard\nresolution almost anyone can use on their pc or tablet, I tried that. The\nnumbers line up, and the rendering software would scale as necessary. This\nbounding area looks something like:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/fIt3A.jpg)\n\nThe key to \"Fly\" being broken is MarginR. Note Irfanview's _Selection_ stats\nat the top of image.\n\n[code]\n\n clipEnd = imageWidth - MarginR = 858 - 133 = 725\n clipWidth = clipEnd - MarginL = 725 - 677 = 48\n Irfanview clip = @(MarginL, MarginV) 48 x 132 = @(677, 69) 48 x 132\n \n[/code]\n\n**The only part of \"Fly\" that fits is \"Fl\".** Hence, \"y\" must be forced to the\nnext line. My final assumption is that right-alignment for a forced text break\nis a norm in Japanese text tools, unlike English where it would be left-\naligned.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nOne scene of _Yuri on Ice_ (YoI) displays a register receipt from a jewelry\nstore. For less than a second, possibly even as short as a few frames, most of\nthe receipt is visible, and it is clear Yuri is about to purchase a **Gold\nWedding Ring**. Immediately the bulk of the receipt becomes masked by Yuri's\ncredit card. At the beginning of time code 13:26 of [episode\n10](http://www.crunchyroll.com/yuri-on-ice/episode-10-gotta-supercharge-it-\npre-grand-prix-final-special-721639) a lucky freeze-frame can capture:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Ckvo0.jpg)\n\nAfter that instant, the only significant receipt info which remains unmasked\nis the price, 768.94 €.\n\nIs there a verifiable reason the exact nature of this purchase is almost\nhidden from the viewer?\n\nIn the English subtitles, Yuri refers to it as simply a \"luck charm\". There is\na [Tumblr post](http://spurisani.tumblr.com/post/154207813929/okay-i-fully-\nunderstand-everyones-excitement) which explains that the term in Japanese is\n\"omamori\" and has a deeper meaning than a non-Japanese speaker would associate\nwith \"luck charm\". (I have no direct knowledge that this post is accurate, but\nit feels right.) So those in Japan would apparently get much more out of this\nscene, even if they could not read the receipt.\n\nWithin hours (probably minutes) of episode 10 airing, there were people\nposting the information on this receipt. It is likely that, even though the\ndetails would slip by the vast majority of viewers, any internet-savvy _YoI_\nfan would know what the receipt said. So the scene seems to be intentionally\nhiding information, but with the knowledge that it will be revealed by the\nfans. Does this confuse anyone else?\n\nAlso, can anyone read the first word on the line with \"Gold Wedding Ring\"? I\nthink it starts with an \"F\" but I cannot make it out, even in a sharpened\nversion of the image. (The video was viewed, and image captured, at 1080p\nresolution, expanded to full screen on my 1920x1080 display.)\n\n",

"body": "\n\n# Was the text of receipt hidden, and why?\n\nI didn't get the impression that the receipt was anymore _intentionally_\n\"hidden\" than, say, Yuko's text message to Yuri Plisetsky in episode 4; I saw\nthe text of the receipt as simply there to fill in necessary visual details\n(in the same way in which it might be necessary for books or pages of homework\nin the \"background\" of other anime to contain some relevant text). However,\nthe text of the receipt _does_ affect how we perceive Yuri's intentions or the\nscene where rings are exchanged, so one could argue that at the very least,\nuseful information is being _unintentionally_ hidden (by virtue of the fact\nthat this piece of information is more or less a background detail).\n\nI haven't seen (at the time of writing) any discussion of the text of the\nreceipt in (translations of) the \"official\" discussions listed\n[here](https://whiteboxtreasure.wordpress.com/index/yuri-on-ice-masterpost/),\nso it's difficult to go beyond guesswork in thinking about these issues.\n\n# What does the receipt say?\n\nMy best guess is that the receipt reads \"Flat Gold Wedding Ring\". This is\nprompted both by the observation that [other people](http://currently-in-\norbit.tumblr.com/post/154176315435/okay-so-according-to-his-receipt-yuuri-\npicked) have made the same guess and that \"Flat\" was my first guess of an\nEnglish word that could fit the context.\n\nOriginally, I was uncertain about this reading, as the final character in the\nfirst word did not look like a lower case T to me; as a lower case T, it\nseemed too short. However, upon a second look, I noticed that instances on the\nreceipt where there is clearly a lower case T _in the same font_ (i.e. in the\ninstances of \"Ticket\" and \"Total\" that we see) have the same problem. With\nthis in mind, I was able to throw out my objection.\n\n",

I\nhave to add a caveat here, however. Becoming Hokage was actually not Itachi's\ndream. Instead, becoming Hokage was merely a stepping stone to his true dream:\nridding the world of all war. At the ninja academy, when everyone's sharing\ntheir dreams, it is this second dream that Itachi shares with everyone, and\nit's then that he realizes how childish all his classmates are. Itachi's\nmaturity and his having a desire to end all war is linked to his father\nbringing him to the remains of a battlefield when he was four, and Itachi\nseeing the horrible carnage for himself.\n\nSo the answer to the question: Yes, Itachi did want to become Hokage when he\nwas young.\n\n",

Sayaka hints on this when Homura first created the new\nuniverse asking if Homura was planning on destroying the universe, this would\nindicate that the Law of Cycles is broken in some way. we're not sure in what\nway but given that the Law of Cycles purifies Puella Magi before becoming\nWitches we can assume that Witches can be born again, the threat on the\nUniverse probably being how Madoka's own witch was capable of doing this so\nanother witch can aswell.\n\nAlso if Madoka being able to exist wasn't such a great deal then why is Homura\nworried about Madoka regaining her memories as the Law of Cycles? this would\nindicate that in Homura's Universe the Law of Cycles still exists and needs\nthe human Madoka back.\n\nHowever we don't know the full extent of what Homura's Universe is like. all\nwe know is that Homura had greater control (being able to seal Nagisa's and\nSayaka's memories/witch powers), Witches can possible be born, Wraiths still\nexist and the Incubators are being forced to manage the curses of Earth. we\ndon't know for certain what Sayaka meant by the universe being destroyed or\nwhy Madoka can not exists as a human with the memories of having been a god.\n\n",

This\nleads to a weird format where Goddess Madoka, **without her memory and her\npowers is basically sealed within Demon Homura's Labyrinth.** It is shown that\nSayaka is frustrated at Homura at the end when she was about to lose her\nmemory because of the fact that Madoka won't be there to erase all witches,\nmany people would die from the witches, and that Charlotte would basically\ndisappear... As she wouldn't be able to exist if it wasn't for the law of\ncycle's energy. (Which, again is sealed)\n\nSo basically Madoka in the end still is still a goddess and still is the Law\nOf Cycle but her memories and her ability to be a Law Of Cycle, and To Kill\nAll Witches... Is sealed.\n\nBut we know that her powers aren't entirely sealed and can come back as simple\nas that as shown in the last scene as Madoka gets nostalgic and shown to ask\nHomura if she had done this before. (Her Eyes Turn Golden and She Floats)\n\n(Of course, as expected because the goddess herself saw all the timelines she\nhad with Homura and her mind must've responded somehow in walking the same\npath.)\n\n(And yes she was split in 2 with the original Goddess having the memories and\npowers to act as a Law Of Cycle which is sealed and the Human version that is\nconnected to it)\n\n(+Memories= +Powers= +Law Of Cycle)\n\n",

The difference between the\nmanga and the LN is just that the LN can fit more subtle details. There were\nalso some cut portions I noticed. The author fit a lot more detailings such as\nthe interaction between Ainz and the potion master in the city.\n\n> If they are not, is the novel illustrated like the manga with visual\n> presentation?\n\nI think the only art for the LN is the cover art, and the art book. There is\nsome fan art in the fan translations of the book.\n\n> Does the English translation for the manga have some translation errors?\n\nEvery translation has its errors. I found an occasional sentence that felt\nlike it was mistranslated, but that could just mean that better wording could\nhave been chosen. One always has to read with the intentions of the author\ninstead of the literal words of the translation.\n\n",

Search\nfor my answer and you'll see another translation example. I also included a\nlink to my [Pastebin](https://pastebin.com/6XCWndr5) and [Google\nDocs](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RkUhqncZhr6SMu8mKPKQ4REro45-poUAAPso9KaUH-U/view)\nwhere I make a long and thorough analysis of Shalltear’s love for Ainz. This\nincludes more translation comparisons as well as lots of quotes from the light\nnovels and side stories, so you should get plenty of the content examples that\nyou wanted.\n\n* * *\n\n> What's the difference between the Overlord novel and manga? Are they the\n> same?\n>\n> If they are not, is the novel illustrated like the manga with visual\n> presentation?\n\nOverlord is a Japanese light novel series written by Maruyama. A manga\nadaptation by Satoshi Ōshio began serialization in 2014 and an anime\nadaptation started running in 2015. Both the manga and the anime are just\nadaptations and don’t contain as much detail as the light novels published.\n\nLight novels and manga are quite different types of media. While light novels\nhave some pictures, they're text for the most part and therefore have more in-\ndepth setting descriptions. As you know, manga is basically Japanese comics. I\nrecommend reading the light novels over the manga as you’ll be able to read it\nexactly the way the original author wrote it and its quality is superb.\n\n> If anyone has a light novel or manga, would it be possible to share some\n> contents in it by taking a picture and posting it? Thanks.\n>\n> I tried some searching myself for the information, but I didn't get any\n> clear picture!\n\nIf you want to see how they physically look, here you have an unpacking video\nof the English light novel and another video where the manga is displayed:\n\n * <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwdeymjFrcE>\n\n * <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5BIGy4otkc>\n\nAbout the samples of the \"content\" itself that you want, I own the light\nnovels so I can transcribe the first 2 pages from volume 1. As I said, I\nrecommend you read the light novels over the manga because of their superior\nquality. Now that you get to see the full \"picture\" I’ll also use this chance\nto answer your translation doubt and show you how the official translation\nworks. I'm including the fan translation as well for reference.\n\nSo as to be completely unbiased, I made a super-literal translation without\nlooking at the already existing translations. As far as I am aware there are\nno Overlord light novel Japanese PDFs, just scans, which means I had to type\nthe Japanese text myself from my physical copy.\n\nIt is a bit long, but you can see my literal translation with the word by word\nbreakdown if you go to these links: [Pastebin: Overlord. Comparing official\nand fan translations](https://pastebin.com/xK0CPtcC) and [Google Docs:\nOverlord. Comparing official and fan\ntranslations](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dvnAfJbSd14KzJe5ZyRZdoE8cXdT9pQkuPR7a0JluK0/edit).\nRight now I’m going to show you the first 2 pages from volume 1 with the fan\nand official translations.\n\n## Page 1\n\n> 少女とそれより幼い少女を前に、全身鎧に身を包んだ者は剣を振りかぶった。\n>\n> 一撃で命を奪うのが慈悲であるとでもいわんばかりに、大きく振り上げられた剣が日差しを反射しギラギラと輝く。\n>\n> 少女は目を閉じた。その下唇を嚙み締めた表情は、決して望んでの姿ではない。ただ、どうしょう\n> もなくてそれを受け入れたに過ぎない。もし少女に何らかの力があったなら、目の前の者に叩きつけ 逃がれただろう。\n>\n> しかし⸻少女に力は無い。\n>\n> だからこそ結末は一つしか残されていなかつた。\n>\n> 少女はここで死ぬ。\n>\n> 剣が振り下ろされ⸻\n\n**Official translation**\n\n> Before one girl and another even younger one stood a figure in full plate\n> armor brandishing a sword.\n>\n> The blade swung, sparkling in the sunlight as if to say that taking their\n> lives in a single stroke would be an act of mercy.\n>\n> The girl shut her eyes.

"body": "\n\n> **What's the difference between the Overlord novel and manga? Are they the\n> same?**\n>\n> **If they are not, is the novel illustrated like the manga with visual\n> presentation?**\n\nNo, the Overlord novels are not illustrated like the manga nor are they the\nsame. Light novels are novels that are slightly illustrated with anime and\nmanga art style, often being adapted into such mediums. They are mainly\npublished in separate book volumes. Manga are comics published in Japan and\nwhen enough chapters are made, you get manga volumes that compile them. This\napplies to Overlord as well.\n\nI see you’re an anime only watcher, but rest assured and don’t you worry. The\nanime’s adaptation of the light novels is very loyal and no fillers are\nincluded. Sentences that the characters say are taken directly from the novels\nmultiple times. Even minor characters like Brain have the same personality in\nboth the anime and novels. If you still want to read Overlord, the light\nnovels are better than the manga. Bear in mind that you’ll be reading walls of\ntext all the time though.\n\n",

He also wore a mask for the same purpose when he joined the festival\nto take a magical kimono that enables the wearer yokai to be seen by humans.\nThus it can be concluded that when a human wears a mask, it is to prevent\nyokai from learning that they are human.\n\nYet, why do yokai wear masks?

{
"body": "\n\nFirst, **Aqua _did_ purify alcohol**.\n\nIn one of Megumin's spin-off light novel1, Aqua was working as a part-time\nwaitress at the guild's bar. However, once she got scolded and fired by the\nowner since she purified the alcohol accidentally. That's the reason why she\nwas doing civil engineering work instead in the first episode. (source:\n[[1](https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q10173535255)],\n[[2](http://hanabi.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/magazin/1454723142/39-n\\))]:post no.\n53 by DPKAszx20,\n[reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/63vlp6/about_aqua_and_alcohol/))\n\nThis implies that she can't really control her purification power; any liquid\nthat she _touches_ will be purified regardless of her intention. Her character\nintroduction usually mentions this (examples:\n[[3](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/KonoSubaProtagonists)]:Aqua/Power\nIncontinence,\n[[4](http://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/%E3%82%A2%E3%82%AF%E3%82%A2\\(%E3%81%93%E3%81%AE%E7%B4%A0%E6%99%B4%E3%82%89%E3%81%97%E3%81%84%E4%B8%96%E7%95%8C%E3%81%AB%E7%A5%9D%E7%A6%8F%E3%82%92!\\))],\n[[5](https://www49.atwiki.jp/aniwotawiki/pages/33949.html)])\n\nOn the other hand, there's also an important info regarding her purification\nskill. According to a bonus light-novel for digital publication2, Aqua's\nnatural purification skill power changes depending on her emotion/feeling.\nWhen she is in pure emotion, her natural purification power is high, otherwise\nwhen she is in \"vulgar\" mode, its power is low. (source:\n[[1](https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q10173535255)])\n\nHowever, the mystery of her enjoying alcoholic drinks until drunk is _never\nexplained explicitly_ : was she really enjoying it? did she really drunk?\nThus, **there are only fan theories** :\n\n 1. **It is based on her emotion** (as mentioned before) (source: [[1](https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q10173535255)])\n\nWhen she's drinking alcoholic drinks, she's exposing her self-desire. This\nmakes her purification power low, and thus she can enjoy it. On the other\nhand, when she was working as a waitress, she was not engulfed in her self-\ndesire because she didn't want to drink it, and thus she accidentally purified\nit.\n\n 2. **Only liquid that's touched directly gets purified** (source: most of her character introductions, [[2](http://hanabi.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/magazin/1454723142/39-n\\))]: post no. 49 & 50, [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/63vlp6/about_aqua_and_alcohol/dfxir9s/), [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/63vlp6/about_aqua_and_alcohol/dfy50j8/), [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/5yb4u9/s2e9_gave_me_a_question_why_does_aqua_purify/det7fab/), [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/5yb4u9/s2e9_gave_me_a_question_why_does_aqua_purify/deompae/))\n\nMost of the cases, she _touched_ the liquid _with her skin_ (e.g. Darkness'\ngrape juice). However, it's implied that drinking is safe because the lip is\nconsidered as [mucous\nmembrane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucous_membrane), not skin. The\nproblem is, this also generates more question like how she purified customers'\nalcoholic drink and Kazuma's tea...\n\n 3. **She can't really control it** (source: [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/63vlp6/about_aqua_and_alcohol/dg2y0iz/), [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/66yucf/how_does_aqua_drink_teawinebeer_if_she_purifies/dgnnka3/), [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/5yb4u9/s2e9_gave_me_a_question_why_does_aqua_purify/deolpfs/))\n\nWhich means she was actually drinking plain water, and her being drunk was due\nto the [placebo effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo#Effects) or\n[water intoxication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication).\n\n_Debunked_ fan theories due to the fact mention here:\n\n 1. **She only purifies water-based liquid, and alcohol is not water** (source: [[2](http://hanabi.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/magazin/1454723142/39-n\\))]: post 47 & 48, [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/66yucf/how_does_aqua_drink_teawinebeer_if_she_purifies/dgmvfe2/), [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/66yucf/how_does_aqua_drink_teawinebeer_if_she_purifies/dgpqhee/), [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/5yb4u9/s2e9_gave_me_a_question_why_does_aqua_purify/deoutxp/), [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/5yb4u9/s2e9_gave_me_a_question_why_does_aqua_purify/deqs4uf/), [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/5w2pq5/if_aqua_can_purify_any_liquid_into_warm_water/de7fodx/), [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/5y9osy/spoilers_kono_subarashii_sekai_ni_shukufuku_wo_2/deocawz/))\n\nChemically, alcohol is [ethanol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol)\n(C2H6O2), not [water](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water) (H2O). This means\nthat she probably was drinking pure ethanol instead, which surely made her\ndrunk. (Debunked because she did purify alcohol)\n\n 2. **Purification takes some time to work** (source: [[2](http://hanabi.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/magazin/1454723142/39-n\\))]: post 52, [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/63vlp6/about_aqua_and_alcohol/dg10utt/), [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/63vlp6/about_aqua_and_alcohol/dg3ngt7/))\n\nSimilar to the case when she took a long time to purify a lake, she needed\nsome time to purify her drink. (Debunked because she purified Darkness' grape\njuice instantly)\n\n 3. **Alcohol is considered holy/pure/sacred by many religions** (source: [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/63vlp6/about_aqua_and_alcohol/dfxcvas/), [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/66yucf/how_does_aqua_drink_teawinebeer_if_she_purifies/dgn8zbc/), [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/5yb4u9/s2e9_gave_me_a_question_why_does_aqua_purify/deov873/), [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/5yb4u9/s2e9_gave_me_a_question_why_does_aqua_purify/depasie/))\n\nThere are facts about alcohol such as wine is considered sacred. Examples are\nJesus turning water into wine, Japanese gods like _sake_ , etc.. (Debunked\nanyway, since she did purify alcohol)\n\nFinally, the scene where she was drunk and puking rainbow is anime only. It's\nnot mentioned in the light novel, thus might not be considered canon. (source:\n[reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/5w2pq5/if_aqua_can_purify_any_liquid_into_warm_water/dedesz6/))\n\nAnother thing to ponder: why isn't her bodily fluid got purified? If this is\nto be considered, then _the only theory that works is \" **Only liquid that's\ntouched directly gets purified** \"_.\n\n* * *\n\nSources:\n\n * [[1](https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q10173535255)]: Yahoo!

"body": "\n\n**\\- tl;dr Version -**\n\nHow did information of Section 9's involvement with the second kidnapping of\nMr. Serano, which happened in episode 23 of GitS:SAC, get leaked to the media?\nI can't find any source online that clarifies this.\n\n**\\- Longer Version -**\n\nIn episode 23 of GitS:SAC, Major Kusanagi uses the memories she obtained from\nthe Laughing Man to stage a second kidnapping of Mr. Serano under the guise of\nthe Laughing Man himself in order to verify the connection between Serano\nGenomics and Secretary General Yakushima. During the kidnapping, Major\nKusanagi impersonated the Laughing Man perfectly because, well, she **was**\nthe Laughing Man for all intents and purposes. However, the degree to which\nthe rest of Section 9 was filled in on this plot seems to be vague. Throughout\nthe episode you can see the rest of Section 9 trying hard to \"arrest the\nlaughing man\", though it's conceivable that this could have all been part of\nSection 9's plan.\n\nRegardless of whether or not the rest of Section 9 was filled in on this plan,\nhow on earth did the media find out that it was the Major who impersonated the\nLaughing Man and kidnapped Mr. Serano? At most only the members of Section 9\nknew about this (and possibly the Laughing Man himself I suppose), so who\nleaked the information? One possibility is that Major's girly eyes gave it\naway, as is slightly indicated at the beginning of episode 24 when Chief\nAramaki and Togusa are in the car, but that seems like a silly way for the\nnews to be leaked. In the [GitS:SAC wiki\npage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ghost_in_the_Shell:_Stand_Alone_Complex_episodes),\nit's claimed that Secretary General Yakushima, the guy who this entire\nLaughing Man plot is focused on putting to justice, found out that Section 9\nwas behind the kidnapping and so leaked that info to the media (which played a\nvery big role in the rest of the story). But how would Yakushima have known\nabout that? Who told him?\n\nWhat's really weird about all this is that in the beginning of episode 24,\nChief Aramaki tells nearly everybody in Section 9 to \"find out where news of\nour op was leaked from.\" But nobody ever seems to give an answer to this!\n\n",

The wikia articles on\n[Rinnegan](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rinnegan) and [Uchiha\nMadara](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Madara_Uchiha) supports it:\n\n> However, Madara's Sharingan did not become Rinnegan until decades later, at\n> the end of his natural lifespan; this also seemingly restored the eyesight\n> lost from his use of Izanagi.\n\nMadara Uchiha:\n\n> It was not until decades later, towards the end of Madara's natural life,\n> that the cells had any effect, awakening the Rinnegan (in the process\n> restoring his right eye).\n\nSo therefore, formation of Rinnegan completely heals the eyes.\n\nWhen the Edo Tensei was used, he was revived at the prime stage of his life,\nalong with enhancements. That explains him having having both the eyes.\n\nLastly, when he breaks out of the Edo Tensei, his Edo Tensei Rinnegan eyes are\nstill intact. But after being brought back to life by the Samsara of Heavenly\nLife Technique, his fake Rinnegan eyes turn into dust. He fights without eyes\nfor a while. White Zetsu brings him one of his original eyes, and later on, he\nsteals away his original eye from Obito.\n\n",

To quote from\n[Wikia](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Hollowfication#Unknown_Infection):\n\n> It is unclear how the other Visored gained their current status. What is\n> known is Sōsuke Aizen was instrumental in the Hollowfication process, though\n> whether he knew of the full potential of the results is left to be\n> questioned. The process used seems to spread as some form of possible\n> infection through wounds which has the desired effects on souls with high-\n> level Reiryoku, as compared to souls with low-level Reiryoku. The infected\n> experience great sickness and fatigue, eventually vomiting up Reishi in the\n> form of a white liquid, which forms the beginnings of their Hollow mask\n> before proceeding to transform their bodies and warp their minds. Other than\n> that, all that is known is the process is accelerated by increased stress.\n> The conclusive result makes a Shinigami into a primarily Hollow-like\n> humanoid, which is a highly unstable transformation causing mindlessness and\n> aggression.\n\nIt should be noted that all members of the Visored except Shinji and Hiyori\nwere cut by Tousen, and Hiyori was wounded by Hollowfied Kensei and Shinji was\ncut by Hollowfied Hiyori, so Wikia's claim that the Hollowfication process is\nprobably caused by infection through wounds is sound.\n\nHowever, it is almost certain that the source of the Hollowfication process is\nthe [Hougyoku](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/H%C5%8Dgyoku#Powers):\n\n> **Hollowfication/Arrancarification** : While not truly an ability of the\n> Hōgyoku itself, the orb took on this property because it is what Kisuke\n> Urahara desired when he invented it. Through this power, the Hōgyoku could\n> be used to bypass the barrier which separates Shinigami and Hollows. As\n> such, it can cause Shinigami to undergo Hollowfication and Hollows to\n> undergo Arrancarification. These processes lead to the creation of a Hollow-\n> Shinigami hybrid and an Arrancar, respectively.\n\n",

City Series\n\nNote that Owari no Chronicle, despite being several thousand years before\nHorizon, sets up a lot of the technology and gives a lot of explanations as to\nwhy some of the stuff in Horizon is the way it is, so I recommend reading it\nbefore that.\n\nAnd The City Series is sort of it's own entity. It takes place after Horizon\n(thousands of years...sort of), but was written before both Owari and Horizon,\nso nothing is \"carried forward\" in-universe. In addition, it's more of a set\nof short stories, with each novel in the series taking place in a different\npart of the world with different characters. Feel free to read whenever.\n\nThis should make for an ideal read, according to me because that is the order\nin which I read them/am reading/will read, and it makes sense. Unfortunately,\nI couldn't find an _official source_ , so this is based on personal\nexperience.\n\nAlso see this, regarding the release dates, though I'm pretty sure you would\nhave already seen it : <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoru_Kawakami>\n\n**Edit** : Regarding Gekitotsu no Hexennacht, I found something that\nascertains that it's after horizon and before city series:\n\n> Clash of Hexennacht (激突のヘクセンナハト) is a light novel series written by Kawakami\n> Minoru (川上 稔) and illustrated by Satoyasu (さとやす). It began serialization in\n> Dengeki Bunko Magazine while its manga adaptation runs in Dengeki Daioh and\n> is set for its first full novel release by Dengeki Bunko in August 2015. It\n> takes place between Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon and the City Series, two other\n> series by the author.\n\nSource:<https://www.baka-\ntsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Clash_of_Hexennacht>\n\nAlso the order which I mentioned above isn't a _strict_ order as such, but I\nhave tried my best to arrange them with respect to the enormous time span in\nwhich they are set in. They are not _very_ tightly interconnected, but\nbasically set in the same world, as created by the author. So there isn't any\nspecific order, but the above order is what you should follow, according to\nme.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nFirst, I want to make sure that we're all on the same page about whether we're\ntalking about [sex or\ngender](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/232363.php) here.\n\nNowadays, we generally make the following distinctions:\n\n * **Sex** generally refers to your biological sex; in other words, your anatomical and genetic traits.\n * **Gender** is more difficult to define, but it generally refers to the socially constructed characteristics of males and females as they apply to you, such as norms, roles, and relationships of and between groups of women and men.\n\nIt should be noted that in informal speak, people frequently use the terms\ninterchangeably.\n\nLuka's gender is more ambiguous and subject to debate (just look at the\ncomments on [Luka's wikia page](https://steins-\ngate.wikia.com/wiki/Luka_Urushibara#WikiaArticleComments)), but in this case,\nwe just want to talk about Luka's biological sex, which is more clear-cut.\nLet's review what happened:\n\n 1. Luka was physically male before the D-mail.\n 2. Luka sent a D-mail back to his pregnant mom's pager.\n 3. And as Okabe discovers later on, this caused Luka to become physically female.\n\nHowever, a baby's sex is determined [at the moment of\nconception](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_differentiation_in_humans#Sex_determination).\nSo, because Luka's mom was already pregnant when the D-mail arrived, Luka's\nsex was already decided. No amount of eating vegetables can change that.\n\nOne explanation could be that the cause was some other time travel divergence,\nat a point in time before Luka's conception. Even if the divergence were\ncompletely unrelated to Luka's family, it could still cause random variations\nin the environment that could cause Luka's conception to go very slightly\ndifferently.\n\nHowever, Faris's D-Mail was sent to a point in time after Luka was already\nborn, so I don't think this explanation is very likely.\n\nAnother possible explanation could be that the D-mail caused a random\nvariation in the environment that caused Luka to develop differently in the\nwomb. For example, it could be that in the new timeline, there was a random\ngenetic mutation that caused Luka to develop an intersex condition. They're\nnot that uncommon.\n\nIt is indeed possible for someone with XY chromosomes to be physically female.\n\nFor example, perhaps Luka experienced a [mutation in the SRY\ngene](https://www.oumedicine.com/department-of-pediatrics/department-\nsections/genetics/clinical-genetic-laboratories/clinical-laboratory-\nservices/chromosome-analysis/fish-analysis/sry-gene-deletion):\n\n> Mutations in SRY give rise to XY females with gonadal dysgenesis who appear\n> to be normal females at birth, but at puberty do not develop secondary\n> sexual characteristics, do not menstruate, and have fibrous gonads without\n> eggs.\n\nOr, perhaps Luka experienced a [mutation in the AR\ngene](https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/androgen-insensitivity-syndrome#genes)\nand developed [complete androgen insensitivity\nsyndrome](https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/001180.htm):\n\n> Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is when a person who is genetically\n> male (who has one X and one Y chromosome) is resistant to male hormones\n> (called androgens). As a result, the person has some or all of the physical\n> traits of a woman, but the genetic makeup of a man.\n>\n> At puberty, female sex characteristics (such as breasts) develop. However,\n> the person does not menstruate and become fertile.\n\nThe complete form of this syndrome can occur in as many as 1 in 20,000 live\nbirths, so I think it's certainly a possibility.\n\nAnyway, these are just my speculations.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n_This answer is based on the two_ Sailor Moon Crystal _seasons and fan wiki\ninformation that I found online. I may edit this in the future, if I ever get\nto reading the original manga or otherwise come across new information._\n\n* * *\n\nThe prior incarnations of the Sailor Senshi (i.e. those that came prior to the\n\"present day\" of the series) were indeed born on their respective planets.\nFrom [the wiki](http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/Sailor_Senshi):\n\n> Act 41 of the manga reveals the Sailor Senshi as princesses of the Solar\n> System. Each one had her own castle, which she can call upon late in the\n> series for power. This act first enables Sailor Moon to transform into\n> Eternal Sailor Moon. The castles are named after moons, except for Mercury's\n> and Venus'. Venus' castle is introduced long before the others', in the\n> Sailor V manga, but she never mentions this to them.\n\nThis is supported somewhat by the Mugen arc of _Sailor Moon Crystal_ , in\nwhich we learn that the Outer Senshi (as their previous incarnations) simply\nwatched over the Solar System from afar, on their own planets.\n\nFrom this, it is not immediately obvious why the _current_ incarnations of the\nSailor Senshi show up as human girls on Earth. However, I think that from an\nin-universe perspective, there are two possible explanations:\n\n 1. It is now _the Earth_ where the Senshi need to fight the various villians that show up, and that it thus makes sense for the Senshi to be there.\n\n 2. The other planets are no longer populated, so it does not make sense for the Sailor Senshi to be reincarnated there.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nSo that this question can have a real answer, I'll expand my comment.\n\nAt the end of Suruga Monkey, Hitagi comes in and interrupts the fight between\nKoyomi and Suruga, announcing that if Suruga had successfully killed Koyomi,\nshe would have hunted down and killed Suruga, adding a serious note to her\njoke in Part I that she wanted to be the one to kill him.\n\nKoyomi then explains in the voiceover narration (translation from subtitles on\nthe horrendously overpriced Aniplex USA Blu-ray):\n\n> If one strategy was for me to overwhelm the demon, thereby making it\n> impossible for Kanbaru's secret wish to be fulfilled, then notifying\n> Senjyogahara that Kanbaru was trying to kill me, thereby making it\n> impossible for her surface wish to be fulfilled, was another. Moreover,\n> Senjyogahara swore in front of the demon that if I died, she'd kill Kanbaru.\n> Not knowing wouldn't hold up as defense. For the Rainy Devil, the outcome\n> had already been determined. I can't believe you were able to read its\n> thoughts like that, Oshino.\n\nSuruga's secret wish was to kill Koyomi out of jealousy that he was with\nHitagi and she wasn't. The Rainy Devil tries to help her fulfill that secret\nwish in Part I, when she attacks Koyomi on his mountain bike as he rides home\nfrom Hitagi's apartment. Koyomi planned to fight Suruga until it was clear\nthat she couldn't beat him, making the Rainy Devil give up.\n\nSuruga's surface wish was to be with Hitagi romantically, but Oshino realized\nthat if Hitagi knew that Suruga had killed her boyfriend, she wouldn't be too\nkeen on hooking up with his murderer. Sending her into the middle of the\nbattle made it impossible for the Rainy Devil to get Suruga and Hitagi\ntogether by killing Koyomi, giving it no reason to help Suruga kill him.\nFulfilling the secret wish was only a viable way for the Rainy Devil to\ncomplete its contract if that also fulfilled the surface wish, but once Hitagi\nknows, killing Koyomi directly counteracts the fulfillment of the surface\nwish.\n\nTo fulfill its contract and leave Suruga, the Rainy Devil has to grant her\nwish, but it fails to do so, made clear when Suruga confesses her love and\nHitagi responds in her usual blunt fashion:\n\n> Suruga: I'm in love with you, Senjyogahara-sempai... \n> Hitagi: Oh? I'm not really in love with you. But will you stay by my side\n> anyway?\n\nSo the Rainy Devil can't leave, because it hasn't fulfilled her wish, but it\ncan't fulfill her wish, because the only power it has is sending her into a\nviolent rage while she's asleep and it now knows violence can't solve this. It\ngoes dormant.\n\nOddly enough, in the final scene where she goes to meet Koyomi, Suruga says,\n\"The demon may have left me, but in the end, my arm didn't go back to normal.\"\nIn-universe I can only attribute this to a misunderstanding on her part,\nbecause in _Hanamonogatari_ , which takes place chronologically last in the\nseries (beware spoilers below):\n\n> Suruga finally does lose the demon to her old friend Numachi Rouka, and her\n> arm goes back to normal. In the beginning of the _Hanamonogatari_ novel, we\n> see that she's been duct-taping her monkey arm to a pillar every night and\n> anxiously checking the newspaper every morning to make sure she hasn't gone\n> out and hurt anyone in her sleep, so she doesn't seem to be so sure anymore\n> that the demon is gone.\n\n",

Now there isn't much information on this but I imagine\nthat it works like this: every person has a limiter based on who they are.\nThis limiter determines how strong they can get mentally and physically. So in\nSaitama's case he not only trained really hard but also gave everything and\nwhen I say everything I mean EVERYTHING.\n\nBefore he became super strong he had no job, no family, no friends, he\nbasically had nothing to live for. As Crablante said \"I see that you have\nlifeless eyes.\" \"From one pair of lifeless eyes to another I will let you\nlive.\" (Something along those lines, but you get the point.) Back to the\nlimiter. What I am trying to say is that Saitama gave it his all, his desire\nso strong that he broke the barrier that stops everyone from becoming too\nstrong.\n\nThis is my main theory on why Saitama is so strong. Now there's this other\ntheory about him eating all his enemies to become stronger and stuff, but\nthat's a whole other story. (I mean no offence to anyone as this is only\nopinion on this topic.

It is the dead person's DNA that is needed for the reanimation (alias [Edo Tensei](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Summoning:_Impure_World_Reincarnation)).[1]\n 2. There is good reason to assume Kabuto did not reincarnate most of the Uchiha clan members, because he was unable to obtain their DNAs: \n\n\"Kabuto mentions his desire to reincarnate certain shinobi [including] Shisui\nUchiha\";[2] and his ally in the [Fourth Shinobi World\nWar](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Fourth_Shinobi_World_War), Tobi **(**\nSPOILER:\n\n> alias [Obito Uchiha](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Obito_Uchiha),\n\n**)** , was in possession of their DNA,[3] but – being forced by Kabuto into\nthis alliance in the first place[4] – did not let him use it.[3] Controlling\nmore Uchiha shinobi could have made Kabuto too powerful with respect to the\npossibility of him turning against Tobi.\n\nHowever, Kabuto _did_ summon Itachi Uchiha, Madara Uchiha, as well as (only in\nthe anime) Inabi Uchiha[5] and used them in his war efforts.[6]\n\nAs @AyaseEri points out, we can not exclude the possibility that Kabuto has\nmanaged to reincarnate the other Uchihas after all and it was just not shown.\n\nBut definitely also factor in @ElPsyKongroo's answer\n[below](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/38187/why-is-there-no-\nreanimated-uchiha-fighting-in-fourth-shinobi-war#answer-38197) on why that's\nvery unlikely!\n\n* * *\n\n**References**\n\n[1]\n\n> Before this technique can be performed, the user must first acquire some of\n> the DNA of the person they intend to reincarnate.\n\n—<http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Summoning:_Impure_World_Reincarnation#Usage>\n\n[2] \n—<http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Summoning:_Impure_World_Reincarnation#cite_ref-\nFivetwenty_1-5>\n\n[3]\n\n> Kabuto could not find [Shisui Uchiha's] body.

[…] Tobi threatened him not to push his\n> luck.\n\n—<http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Summoning:_Impure_World_Reincarnation#cite_ref-\nFivetwenty_1-5>\n\n[4]\n\n> Kabuto [uses] the Impure World Reincarnation to revive five deceased\n> Akatsuki members, which he offers to use to help Tobi in the approaching\n> war.

The story is based off of Norse mythology,\nthey believe there is nothing such as the future and that it's only a repeated\ncycle of the past. Say we have a universe of timelines, one universe of you is\ndying and the other of you is being born so there is no such thing as the\nfuture, it's a constant cycle of the past. There are infinite universes of you\nand every second of you, the moment you were born is replayed while you dying\nis also being replayed. They also believed that when a person is dead, he\nwould be sent to the world tree where he'll be born again through another root\nof the tree in another family as a different being. They believed that the\nactions of the new life of a guy will be influenced by his past life. So\ndestiny is unchangeable. It's influenced by the being her or himself or his or\nher surroundings. SO basically Eren Kruger is reborn as Eren Jaeger and will\ndie to sacrifice himself to another person to be eaten up. Now, in 2,000 years\na major event will occur in Eldia and Eren may have had a dream about that so\nhe's trying to warn the people 2,000 years later about it or something along\nthose lines. His ancestor must've warned him about it. Probably that very own\nancestor will share the same fate. Armin seems to be narrating everything so\nthis is probably in his point of view if that is the case he might've just\nbeen recording these events to ensure that Eldia will not perish a century\nlater. Eren must've told him about it so he's just living on Eren's stories\njust to ensure his dream is fulfilled. The dream he saw in the first episode\nmay provide some foreshadowing.\n\n",

{
"body": "\n\nThe Hellsing organization is part of the Anglican Church. Whether the Anglican\nChurch is Catholic or Protestant is a bit of a complicated question.\n\nTo start with, while there is a \"Catholic church\" (it's the common short name\nfor the Roman Catholic Church in English), there's no corresponding\n\"Protestant church\". There are multiple Protestant denominations, many of\nwhich have sub-denominations, many of these having multiple churches within\nthem: Lutheran, Presbyterian, Baptist, Pentecostal, Methodist, and lots of\nothers. All of these groups have their roots in Martin Luther's Protestant\nReformation, which began in the early 16th Century in Western Europe in\nresponse to perceived corruption and doctrinal inconsistency in the dominant\nRoman Catholic Church. All the early Protestant churches had certain Roman\nCatholic practices they objected to;\n[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestantism#Theology) has a good\nsummary, but in general the Protestants thought religion should be less\nfocused on worldly matters and more focused on faith and prayer. They also\nrejected the authority of the Roman Catholic pope and focused on the Bible as\nthe single defining document of Christian belief, whereas the Roman Catholic\nChurch had elevated various commentaries by popes and other prominent figures.\n\nAnglicanism existed as the English branch of the Roman Catholic Church [until\n1534](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acts_of_Supremacy), when the English\nparliament declared Henry VIII, the King of England, as head of the church.\nThis split the leadership from the Roman Catholic Church, but theologically,\nthe Anglicans continued to keep the Eucharist, which most Protestant churches\nhad abandoned. Whether this makes them Protestant or not is a bit hard to say.\nThey are often considered Protestant because they split from the Roman\nCatholic Church in the same period when the Protestant Reformation was going\non, but the split had no real connection to Luther's movement; it was a\npolitical maneuver by the English government to weaken the power of the Roman\nCatholic pope. Theologically, they're more similar to the Roman Catholics than\nmost Protestant churches are (though as we see in Hellsing, they still find\nenough differences to keep them arguing).\n\nAs a point of interest, there are Christian churches which are neither\nCatholic nor Protestant: for example, the [Eastern Orthodox\nchurches](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Orthodox_Church), which\ninclude the Greek Orthodox and Russian Orthodox; Ethiopian; Coptic; and\nvarious modern movements such as [the Jehovah's\nWitnesses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah%27s_Witnesses). So you could\nargue that Anglicanism is neither Catholic nor Protestant, but something\ndistinct, like these other churches.\n\n",

{
"body": "\n\nTo answer the Title, Its impossible to say. It appears you are asking if the\nQuincy are naturally stronger than Soul Reapers, simply because the elite of\nthe elite Quincy, the Schutzstaffel, were able to use special tools to steal\nSoul Reaper Bankai's.\n\nThe Flaw with that logic is simply that we do not understand how the Tools\nwork. We just know they steal Bankai once its been used in front of the tool,\nbut not how they do it, or what the conditions are. The only clue we have is\nthat Yamamoto was too powerful, so only Yhwach was strong enough to wield his\nBankai. It could easily be that they are weaker, but like most\nsupernatural/fantasy entertainment media, Most people can wield more power\nthan their normal maximum, and even spontaneously power up permanently. Its\nvery possible that there was no way without Voltstandig they could beat a Soul\nReaper Captain in their Bankai State, yet could still wield the power of their\nBankai. After all, the Soul Reapers do just that. By activating their Bankai,\nthey are on average 5-10x more powerful than just their Shikai. The\nVoltstandig Transformation the Quincy use is very similar, and in fact they\ncould not use it while they had a stolen Bankai.\n\nTo further nit pick, they too were granted power by Yhwach, as each one had a\nLetter, granting them not only more raw power, but also supernatural\nabilities. On their own, its impossible to say how strong they would be.\n\nLastly, There is one more thing to bring up, the first War with the Quincy.\nThe Soul Reapers won that war, and almost all the Quincy were killed, to the\npoint where Uryu and his father were the only known living Quincy left,\nexcluding the Sternritter who may or may not be dead already.\n\nEdit: Regarding your argument about zankaptou, there is also one thing to\nbring up. [Yhwach's](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Yhwach) age is estemated at\nat least 1200 years, which includes the 1000 years he was mostly powerless.\nSo, he was probably at least 200 years old by that account when Yamamoto\nDefeated him (using his zanpaktou). Though he could have been older than 200,\nhe was still the first Quincy ever, which is pretty big here, because the\nGotei 13 was founded over 1100 years before he was defeated. [Yamamoto's Wiki\nPage](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Yamamoto) in the history section brings up\nthe founding of the 13 squadrens was 2100 years ago, 1100 years before\nyhwach's defeat, and the only picture we have of then, had several of the\ncaptians weilding zanpaktou. So, While Nimaiya may have been a captian back\nthen, he had already invented zanpaktou, up to at least a thousand years\nearlier than the first ever quincy was born. A Soul Reaper without a zanpaktou\nis basically noneistant because they get one right after they become a Soul\nReaper, and that was precident for hundreds of years before quincy existed, so\nthere is no way to compare them. A Soul Reaper without a zanpaktou has also\nnever been seen, besides Possibly Ichigo, so its impossible to say how\npowerful they were.\n\n",

Even though\nthey have a superhuman-like ability, their actual physical body without the\nuse of Spirit power is no different than a human. On the other hand, Chad is a\nworld champion boxer, without using his powers, just his sole human physical\nbody.\n\n",

It\n> has been serialized in Weekly Shōnen Sunday since July 2013 and has been\n> collected in twelve tankōbon volumes along with 151 chapters.\n\nmy number of 159 is based off that at the end of the page the last chapter\nnumber is 159. also you can see the tankōbon volumes vary in their release\ndates.\n\nstarting at [the first Wednesday of July 2013 to the Wednesday just past\n(04/01/2017)](https://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html?d1=03&m1=07&y1=2013&d2=04&m2=1&y2=2017)\nwe can see there has been 183 weeks passed. now if 1 chapter of Keijo!!!!!!!!\nis released every week there is a discrepancy of 24 weeks (`183-159 = 24`) but\nthese can be accounted for by holidays and that i don't know when in July the\nfirst chapter of Keijo!!!!!!!! came out (so it may not have been 03/07/2013).\n\nwith this information we can roughly guess that Keijo!!!!!!!! is being\nreleased weekly in each issue of Weekly Shōnen Sunday in Japan with some\nbreaks for holidays. of cause without having the issues themselves i can't be\nfor certain that each issue has had 1 chapter of Keijo!!!!!!!!\n\nas i pointed out in my\n[comment](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/38260/what-is-the-keijo-\nmanga-release-cycle/38266?noredirect=1#comment52058_38266) the [Mangaupdates\npage](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=101987) has a \"releases\"\nsection but these are the scanlation releases as such the release of these are\nnot predefined especially since these are unofficial. not to mention that the\nthis list should stop being updated if/when Keijo!!!!!!!! is officially\nlicensed in English to which would generally mean they would be released in\ntankōbon format\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIt is heavily implied that the User has no control over stopping what it does.\nHow it kills you was never actually stated, but it is implied that the gate\ncan not be closed and while open consumes chakra constantly. This is however\nan interpretation of what was shown, when\n\n> Guy himself used the 8th gate against Madara Uchiha as the 10 tails\n> jinchuriki. Upon piercing his heart with his thumb, he opened the 8th gate.\n> Once he used his last attack, he was left in critical state and otherwise\n> completely incapacitated, but it was also shown that his heart was still\n> consuming the last little bit of chakra he had left. The other side effect\n> also includes Literal incineration, As guy was practically on fire from the\n> inside, and his blood was boiling. His final attack turned his toes to ash,\n> and it looked almost like lava was coming out of his body.\n\nIt is also known that you die if you use all of your chakra, which has\nhappened in the series, as shown when\n\n> Kakashi died saving Choji in his fight against Pain. He exhausted all of his\n> chakra to deal with the missile and died. It is also implied through dialog\n> that Nagato also died due to chakra exhaustion, when he used Rinne art of\n> Rebirth to revive Kakashi and the others he killed.\n\nSo, Its quite reasonable to assume that, since unlike the other gates, opening\nthe 8th gate requires injuring yourself, there is no direct way to undo that\naction and close the gate. Since while it is open it seems to constantly\nconsume chakra, and can't be closed, it will eventually consume all of it,\nwhich kills you. Later on, we find out\n\n> there is a way to stop it. How it was stopped was not explained at all, but\n> Naruto, who had obtained the Senjutsu of the Sage of Six paths, was able to\n> use Yin-Yang release and somehow closed the gate, saving Guy's Life. Guy was\n> permanently crippled already however, and Naruto could not heal that damage.\n> So somehow, Naruto was able to heal guy, and undo the process that no other\n> shinobi could undo.\n\nSo, Without some extreme circumstances, there is no way even remotely possible\nto turn it off. Activating the 8th gate is a death sentence, and the only clue\nas to how to turn it off requires the legendary abilities of the Sage of Six\nPaths himself.\n\nSo, pure speculation here based on the stuff in the spoilers, but\n\n> Perhaps, if someone like Naruto, who obtained the Yin-Yang release healing\n> abilities, also learned how to open the 8th gate, he might be able to\n> activate it and then close it. The Yin-Yang healing based techniques Naruto\n> acquired, at least temporarily, were capable of even creating a new regular\n> eye for Kakashi when he lost his Sharingan one. However, the side effects of\n> the 8th gate are severe, so even if only being activated for a short time,\n> he would be temporarily crippled upon deactivation.\n\nlastly, As for how they know they can activate it, it is not truly identified.\nAll we know is that the main way is to pierce your heart with your thumb,\nwhich somehow activates it. Considering it kills you upon activation, the body\nwould probably not let you do it. However, it is still just a gate, So it\nwould make sense that it would work similarity to the other 7. Likely,\nsomething forcefully prevents the gate from opening, a seal of some kind.\nPiercing your heart could then either be destroying that seal, which causes\nthe gate to open just as easily as any other gate, or it might physically\ndestroy the gate itself, effectively opening it, but otherwise it cant close\nsince it was destroyed. Since it is just a gate though, Its probably quite\nobvious to the user that something is blocking it from opening. Guy hinted\nthat he might have found out how to do so from his father, and we know Lee\nknows how to do so since Guy revealed how its done. There may also be a scroll\nsomewhere that teaches you how to do so, or at least up to the first 7 and\nrecords of what happened with the 8th gate.\n\n",

It expands the\nclosing song of the anime, _Fighter_ , into a 6-minute music video, produced\nby the manga's author Chika Umino and the band BUMP OF CHICKEN.\n\nI may have that backwards, though. The video may have pre-dated the anime by\nover a year, making the closing song a condensed version of the music video.\nFrom what I can gather, a DVD with the video accompanied special copies of the\n10th volume of the manga, released 28 Nov 2014. The anime was announced 25 Sep\n2015. If the music video pre-dated the anime, **who animated it?** Studio\nShaft (producing the TV show) may not have even been involved.\n\n**add:** The music video definitely predates the anime. It was posted to\nYouTube on 8 Dec 2014.\n\nMuch of the art in the music video looks like it may have come from the anime\n(and a lot does not), but that could just be that they both share the manga as\nsource material. Also **was the music video made in Flash?** Parts of it have\nthat mechanistic feel, but I do not know enough about Flash video capability\nto know if it would have been up to the task.\n\nThe [Show More] section of the YouTube video has a link to a Japanese site or\npage apparently dedicated to the music video: [3月のライオン meets BUMP OF\nCHICKEN｜白泉社](http://3lion.younganimal.com/meetsBUMP/).

"body": "\n\nIt's a collaboration project between Chica Umino, the author of _March Comes\nin like a Lion_ and BUMP OF CHICKEN, a Japanese music band.\n\nThe background of this project, as mentioned on both [Young\nAnimal](http://3lion.younganimal.com/meetsBUMP/) (the publisher of the manga)\nand [BUMP OF CHICKEN](http://www.bumpofchicken.com/lion/)'s official site,\n\n> In the beginning, Chica Umino likes BUMP OF CHICKEN, and BUMP OF CHICKEN's\n> members like _March Comes in like a Lion_.\n>\n> They are respecting each other, they like each other's product. Well, let's\n> do something!\n>\n> After thinking for a while, the only thing that Chica Umino can do is\n> drawing a manga, and BUMP OF CHICKEN is writing a song. They knew they have\n> nothing else.\n\nThus, BUMP OF CHICKEN wrote a single, Fighter, and Chica Umino drew a spin-off\nmanga.\n\nAs it has been mentioned on the question, the single and the manga was\nreleased on 28 November 2014. The limited edition of the manga's volume 10\nincluded the single's CD and the limited digital delivery from Toy's Factory\n(BUMP OF CHICKEN's record label) included a serial number for the digital\nspin-off manga.\n\nIn 2016, the song was also chosen as one of the ending songs for the anime.\n\nRegarding the MV, there's not much info (if, at all) about the production on\nthe internet. Someone mentioned that it's Chica Umino's drawing, but there's\nno info about the animation/studio behind it.\n\n* * *\n\nAdditional sources: [Japanese\nWikipedia](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC_\\(BUMP_OF_CHICKEN%E3%81%AE%E6%9B%B2\\))\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThere is no evidence to suggest that Kaori is half-Japanese. I discuss my\nreasons for this assertion below.\n\n * The fan wiki for _Your Lie in April_ makes no such assertions about the ethnicity of Kaori. Were there an indication or (obvious) suggestion that Kaori is half-Japanese in official material, I would expect someone to have noted it.\n\n * Kaori's parentage is straightforward, and her parents have Japanese names and do not look overtly foreign.\n\n * We cannot extrapolate any information about ethnicity from the characters' hair colours. While Kaori had blonde hair even as a child (as seen in the OVA), so did Takeshi. Tsubaki already had brown hair (rather than black) as a child. Takeshi's sister, Nagi, is also blonde. It is difficult to imagine primary school students dyeing their hair, but it is also difficult to imagine that _all_ of these characters have significant non-Japanese heritage. It is best to chalk this up to a lack of realism in anime hair colours.\n\nAs far as I am concerned, I would thus err (at the time of writing) on the\nside of assuming that Kaori is not half-Japanese. Were Kaori half-Japanese, it\nwould seem to be such a large character detail that it would have to be\ndisclosed _somewhere_.\n\n",

Cloud was a Shinra Trooper and he didn't take off his helmet, so\n> Tifa was unable to recognize him.\n\n",

It may be all but public knowledge that they're doing all\nthose things, but they try to leave as little evidence as possible (and have a\nfew lawyers and other legal types in their pockets to help deal with the few\nbits that get away from them).\n\nAs such, often the law enforcement will look for _any_ excuse to prosecute\nthem, and use that as a proxy for all the stuff they can't actually be caught\ndoing. For example, notorious gangster Al Capone was arrested for tax evasion.\n\nSo prior to getting the licence, presumably there were police detectives or\nthe like keeping an eye on known Port Mafia members hoping that they'd see, I\ndon't know, Akutagawa using Rashoumon to destroy a stray piece of garbage,\nthen take him in on a charge of \"Unlicenced use of ability on public\nproperty\". With the licence, though, the actions of the Port Mafia are halfway\nlegitimised by the government, and it becomes that much harder to take action\nagainst them.\n\n",
