"body": "\n\nWatching Ero-manga Sensei's song (forgot if it was the opening or the ending),\nI immediately noticed that it was sung by ClariS. Now, interestingly, both\nEro-manga Sensei and Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai are written\nby Fushimi Tsukasa. Both also has their theme song sung by ClariS.\n\nIs this just a coincidence, or there's more than meets the eyes?\n\n",

I don't remember where, but I'm positive\nthat it was mentioned he was slightly stronger than 18. Now with the events of\nDragon Ball Super and the Goku vs 17 sparring, is this still a valid assertion\nor has it been retconned?\n\n",

"body": "\n\nFirstly, during the android saga, 16 was stronger than 17 who happened to be\nstronger than 18. Although the power difference between the 3 is certainly not\na lot.\n\nWhen Goku goes to recruit Android 17 to enter the tournament of power, it was\nstated by 17 that he spent that time gap training and had gotten a lot\nstronger. It's easily been over a decade or maybe even 2 since the cell games\nand while Android 18 hasn't really pushed herself and trained as much, 17 has\nspent his time training. We see 17 being able to fight SSJ2 Goku very easily\nand he also seemed to fair pretty well against SSJB Goku(Suppressed) very\nwell. We know when Goku is not going all out because once he's forced to go\nall out, he immediately uses Kaioken just like he did with Toppo, Jiren, Hit\netc. It was also stated by Goku that even Android 17 was holding back. So at\nthe moment, Android 17 is high up on the ladder and very likely the fourth\nstrongest fighter in Universe 7. Android 18, on the other hand, has received a\nrelative power boost which all the characters, in general, have received to\nmake them relevant in the tournament of power.\n\nWe see Piccolo easily defeat SSJ2 Gohan. Android 18 is very likely on the same\nlevel as Piccolo or maybe slightly stronger or weaker. Android 17 on the other\nhand is definitely stronger than SSJG Goku but not stronger than SSJB Goku.\n\n",

Even his Barrier\nimprove since we last saw it in Dragon Ball Z. Because in the tournament he\nused his Barrier in different ways like using it as a Barrier punch on Aniraza\nand making his Barrier spinning around to toss over that cat girl. It’s\namazing how strong he has become, and to me he’s the 3rd strongest character\nin Universe 7. Since 17 would definitely beat Freiza in a fight.\n\n",

In 2009, the top 100-earning\nmangaka from among all titles that had tankoubon published earned an average\nof $900,000. The top earner, Eiichiro Oda, made around $15 million.\n\nHowever, out of 5,300 titles with tankoubon sold in 2009, the earnings for the\nother 5,200 titles averaged around $35,000. While this isn't nothing, it's\nhardly an amazing living, especially in Japan where cost of living tends to be\nhigher.\n\nThe raw numbers also don't capture the difficulty of a mangaka's lifestyle. To\nmake it at all, you can't just be a good artist. You have to shop your work\naround relentlessly, trying to catch an editor's interest. Once you actually\nget your work published, you have to work grueling hours to get finished on\ntime. And no matter how hard you work, you might still get axed; magazines\npublish tons of series and unceremoniously cancel them after a few chapters,\neither leaving the stories unfinished or forcing terrible rushed endings. It's\nnot surprising that someone would not pursue such a difficult and unstable\ncareer when your best plausible outcome is to earn $35,000 a year.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI think your question is closely related to questions like _Why aren't books\nadapted one-to-one?_.\n\nOne aspect why an adaptation is different is because there are other people\nworking on it. If you want to express feelings, there are many different ways\nto do that. For example, the mangaka thinks that a \"No...\" with a sad face is\nenough emoting while the director of the anime thinks this is not enough and\nhas the character do a Darth-Vader-like \"NOOOOOOOO!!!!\". One example of this\nis (not an anime, I normally just read manga) Harry Potter and the Goblet of\nFire. In the book, it says:\n\n> \"Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire, Harry?\", he asked calmly\n\nwhile in the movie we get [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g3xrYjreN4).\n\nOn the other side, you have a book like \"Who censored Roger Rabbit\" by Gary K.\nWolf, which was adapted into the 1988 Who framed Roger Rabbit. In the book,\n\n> Roger is killed in the beginning of the novel.\n\nFollowing this event, the detective tries to solve this mystery instead of the\none he tries to solve in the movie. Thus the plots are completely different\nand bear no resemblance to one another. The adaptation is, so to say, in name\nonly.\n\nThis might happen because the director thinks that he has a better grip on the\nstory the author wanted to tell, so he just \"improves\" it. Or he thinks that\nhe has a better story to tell in the universe and he just wants to import all\nof the framework the title entails. This can be seen with video game movies:\nthe Resident Evil movies import nothing from the games except maybe the\npremise of zombie-like creatures attacking and some names.\n\nAnd then there are those directors who just want to profit from the name.\nTheir story has pretty much nothing to do with the original material. For\nexample, the Tomb Raider movies contain no levels from the games (that were\nreleased before the movies were made, don't know about newer ones). Lara could\njust be called Nancy Drew and could be a 13 year old girl; except for the\nsexualization, it could be the same movie. Lara could have been a 40 year old\nmale \"archeologist\". But the studio wanted to profit from the name \"Tomb\nRaider\", so they made a Tomb Raider movie that had nothing to do with the Tomb\nRaider games.\n\nPS: The last two categories can be combined. You could pretty easily swap the\nResident Evil and Tomb Raider examples in them but the motive is different.\n\n",

The second Paragraph of the overview on the\n[wiki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Chidori) confirms this\n\n> The speed at which the Chidori is performed, despite being one of its\n> greatest assets, also represents one of its biggest drawbacks: users move at\n> their target so fast that its causes a tunnel vision-like effect for them.\n> Because they charge in a straight line it is easy for opponents to attack\n> them, and because of the tunnel vision it is difficult for the user to see\n> these attacks, much less react to them. For this reason, most ninja cannot\n> use the Chidori safely.

While Karin was\nunable to take full advantage of her technique, due to her incompetent\ntaijutsu, someone like Kakashi in possession of the technique would be quite\ncapable of using it in combat to eliminate any possibility of tunnel vision.\nMu actively demonstrated his ability to avoid attacks from his blind spot.\nNaruto's and Kabuto's threat perception both demonstrated this ability against\nhigh speed attacks.

At the same time, I\ncan not identify the thing in the upper right of the 2 lower panels.

It does resemble an open mouth, with the bottom\nrow of teeth, and a chin, but its missing everything else.

Possibly the second panel is very early in the activation, in\nwhich case the spirit may still be in transit. But given the curvature in the\nthird strip and how the maximum is obtained to the right (in the mirrored\ndirections), it seems more likely that Ichigo has tried to move/tilt his head.\nIn the third strip you can see Orihime's knee as she kneels by Ichigo to try\nto heal/protect him.

"body": "\n\nIf you know what senpai means you may understand. Senpai means upperclassman\nor someone you look up to. This phrase is quite common in anime which have a\nschool background. It is generally used when someone wants another student\n(who is older than them) to notice them or acknowledge their presence. I once\nfound this online:\n\n**It's a Japan thing. Senpai means someone you're suppose to look up to. Maybe\na fellow student or colleague. Maybe your teacher. All in all 'Notice Me\nSenpai' means you want someone older than you to like you.**\n\nAn example: Say a girl has a crush on a boy who is one class ahead of her at\nschool. To the girl the guy is a 'Senpai'. Now, to impress him, she tries to\nact cool in front of him, cracks jokes, does some wierd stuff. Now say the boy\nis walking towards her. So she silently wishes \"Notice me Senpai !\" But the\nboy doesn't even look at her twice. So she would say to herself \"Senpai why\ndon't you notice me?\"\n\nBut many times in real life, people say this to each other just for fun, maybe\nas in the case of your friends. Since you are new to the anime world, this may\nseem a bit odd but a few anime later, you will understand when to use the\nNotice me senpai reference yourself.\n\nAlthough when your friend would say that when you refuse to do him/her a\nfavour could mean that if you would 'notice' how pretty/awesome your friend\nis, you would certainly want to help him/her, and get on their better side...\njust an idea. You might want to ask your friend itself...\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThis is a meme in the English-speaking internet anime community. This\nparticular phrasing appears to have come into existence around December 2013\n([according to Google\nTrends](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%22notice%20me%20senpai%22)),\nthough variants [are known to date back to\n2012](http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-hope-senpai-will-notice-me).\n\nIt does not directly reference any particular work of anime or manga. Rather,\nit is inspired by a reasonably common trope of anime/manga writing about\nschool-age children, whereby a character (usually a girl) will have a personal\nor romantic interest in an older student at their same school (which is what a\n[\" _senpai_ \"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senpai_and_k%C5%8Dhai) is in this\ncontext), but instead of doing a dag-blasted thing about it, just silently\nhopes that the _senpai_ will pay attention to them. This narrative trope is\nparticularly common in _shoujo_ media.\n\nGoodness knows why your friends are exuding memes in real life; you would do\nbetter to ask them about that. As a meme originalist, I cannot help but notice\nthat the contexts in which your friends are reportedly using this meme don't\nmake much sense.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThere are plenty of reasons why any figure would hide his identity. Manga is a\nbig deal in Japan and thus many authors try to hide their identity, especially\nbefore they are popular. On a side note, I've heard that a lot of Japanese are\nuncomfortable being a public figure and want to keep their private life\nprivate. _[citation needed]_\n\nSome of the reasons why Mangakas hide their identity may be as follows:\n\n * _Content_ : Manga have a variety of content and much of it may be contentious or even downright controversial. Not wanting to associate their work with \"real life\" writers utilize pen names to avoid the hassle associated. Its distressingly common problem that people don't get that a Character's POV is NOT the author's (Its just writing). Anonymity in such cases allows mangakas to be a lot more creative. \nAnother example is genre such as Hentai, which is something you don't want to\nbe known for.\n\n * _Diversity of Work_ : Do you want to read a Shoujo Manga from a author known for Shounen works? Googling a name of an author for Children will not associate them with their other works. A pen names also allows an author to be free of the expectations their more popular work may have set.\n\n * _Bias_ : This is where I can give a real life example of the top of my head. [Horumu Arakawa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiromu_Arakawa) author of probably the most popular Shounen Manga of all time (Fullmetal Alchemist) used a male pen name because her being a female didn't match the nature of her work and a pen name would help bias against her work at bay.\n\nThis is not that uncommon in Japanese Manga industry. A couple of examples.\n\nThe writer of Deathnote another popular manga is an unknown! [Tsugumi\nOhba](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsugumi_Ohba). Before the author profiles\nin Bakuman, even his gender was unknown.\n\n[Shin Kibayashi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_Kibayashi) is famous for\nusing different pen names. The wiki lists several of them\n\n",

For example, his name 'Ishida Sui' is most probably a pen name. I know\nthis as 'Ishida' is written in kanji, but 'Sui' is written in Katakana. While\n_sui_ means 'water' in kanji, it is, however, the beginning of 'watermelon' in\nkatakana ( _suikawari_ ).

In\nJapanese, the text is:\n\n> 思ひつつ \n> 寝ればや人の \n> 見えつらむ \n> **夢と知りせば** \n> 覚めざらましを\n\nThere are many scholarly translations of this poem; here is [Donald Keene's\nversion](https://books.google.com/books?id=R7McAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT85&lpg=PT85&dq=%22had%20I%20known%20it%20was%20a%20dream%22&source=bl&ots=6q0VmMP942&sig=j00uWJ5vmDbohhNe2Sy0gUoVL1A&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwikgOGiyLTTAhWM3YMKHZRiCgUQ6AEILDAC#v=onepage&q=%22had%20I%20known%20it%20was%20a%20dream%22&f=false):\n\n> Thinking about him \n> I slept, only to have him \n> Appear before me― \n> **Had I known it was a dream** \n> I should never have wakened.\n\nShinkai mentions this poem as an inspiration in [this\ninterview](http://www.kiminona.com/interview/01shinkai.html):\n\n> その未来の物語を小野小町の和歌『思ひつつ寝ればや人の見えつらむ\n> 夢と知りせば覚めざらましを』（訳：あの人のことを思いながら眠りについたから夢に出てきたのであろうか。夢と知っていたなら目を覚まさなかったものを）を引っ掛かりとして、アニメーションのフィールドの中で描く事が出来ると思いました。\n\n* * *\n\nAs a side note, the text beneath the working title reads ―男女とりかえばや物語 -\nroughly, \"boy and girl _Torikaebaya Monogatari_ \". The [_Torikaebaya\nMonogatari_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torikaebaya_Monogatari) (\"The\nChangelings\") is another Heian-era work, about a boy and girl who each behave\nas members of the opposite gender.

First we need to understand that both of Naruto's\nkids are unique in the sense Hyuga have traditionally preserved their\nbloodline by marrying within the branch family. Naruto is probably the first\noutsider who has married into the main branch.\n\nThis gets further complicated by the fact Naruto is the reincarnation of the\nAsura, son of the Sage of Six paths and inherited the Sage's life energy.\n\nThus probable options are\n\n * Byakugan: It is a normal Byakugan but not fully awakened or controlled because of the mixing of bloodlines.\n * Tenseigan: In Naruto: The Last we learnt about Tenseigan, which is equivalent to Byakugan, in the same way Rinnegan is to Sharingan. \n\nHowever, what I would put my money on is \\- An Unknown Third eye: Sharingan\nhas Mangekyou capabilities. Kishimoto didn't get a chance to explore Byakugan\nthat much because it was not the focus. The new author now has the creative\nlicense under Kishimoto to explore the limits and capabilities of Byakugan and\nhow it can evolve.\n\n",

If you watch the whole fight, once\nHinata remembers Naruto and gains confidence, Neji stops bragging about\nreading her mind.\n\nAlso, Byakugan's ability to gain knowledge of person's mental state by reading\nchakra-flow, is not the same as reading minds because chakra-flow does not\nindicate anything about one's thoughts.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nTo me, Shu's void isn't actually representative of individual strength at all\nor wanting to take on others burdens although I will admit that he does try to\ndo this a lot.\n\nI think Shu's void is actually more indicative of his character being highly\ndependent on others to provide him with some initiative or resolution to act.\nIf we take multiple examples from the series and the way that it was\nstructured in that each new trial practically requires a new void to be used\nor a combination of pre-existing voids. I'd also like to extend this to Shu's\ncharacter being on to find some compromise or mediate (to some degree) between\nothers as his void activation relies on some form of acceptance of the other\nparty. The void must generally willingly be given by the owner to be used\n(tbh, this was my interpretation and I do know that in a few instances there\nwas forced use but thats a different discussion).\n\nTldr: Shu's void indicates he can be described as cooperative and submissive\nat least in line with my previous point. As the series goes on he loses this\nsubmissiveness and becomes willful if not arrogant but eventually humbled by\nthe events. I think the final episodes really stress he needs others and he\nsettles down to an almost meek attitude about his relationships with others.\n\nOn a deeper level I'd say that as Shu is the main character and given the way\nhis void works with others is that the message of co-dependency of all members\nof society for the achievement of a specific goal. Furthermore given that his\nVoid is the 'Power of the King' there can be two further interpretations:\n\n 1. the power of the king is a absolute power that can manipulate, order, influence and control others.\n 2. the power of the king by itself is useless as it is dependent on the acceptance of it by its subjects, and through that acceptance, conformity with the kings demands.\n\nSadly I can't say much for Inori except that I do think she is quite bold in\nthat her ambitions and willingness to be party to certain things for the sake\nof a goal is a standout feature of hers. She's willing to take on a fair bit\nof burden.\n\nTake my answer for what you will, it's also quite likely i'm completely wrong\n:P\n\n",

An author write up the novel.\n 2. The author passes it to the editor. ( **Perhaps** they will talk about what the author wishes at this time, like illustrator desired by the author, places of illustation and so on.)\n 3. the editor orders illustrations for a illustrator. \nThen he tell the illustrator the atmosphere of the work, distinctive features\nof charactors like age, hair hength, shape of weapon, chest shape, etc...) \nThe editor reads the novel before ordering of course. So the content of the\nnovel and the illustration rarely differ.\n\n 4. the illustrator sends rough sketches to the editor. \nAnd the editor shows them to the author.\n\n 5. Then the author and editor modify sentences and the illustrator completes the illustrations, the publisher promotes the release date of the novel.\n\nFor answers, I referred to the [remarks of an actual writer](http://araki-\ncontents.sblo.jp/article/45703885.html).(Written in Japanese.) \nHe says that \"It is often better for the editor and illustrator not to speak\nto the design.\" \nMany writers respect the illustrator. And it seems that they trust work of the\neditor and illustrator.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nNote that _Brotherhood_ and the 2003 series are separate continuities that\noften differ in their treatment of any plot points and characters that they\nhave in common. Hohenheim is affected by this issue:\n\n * In the manga (which _Brotherhood_ roughly adapts), Hohenheim is a living philosopher's stone who was given half of the souls that Father stole from Xerxes.\n\n * Per [the Wikia](http://fma.wikia.com/wiki/Van_Hohenheim/2003_Anime), in the 2003 series, like Dante, Hohenheim was able to transfer his soul into another body to avoid death and had taken advantage of this knowledge in the past. However, there is an inherent instability to this procedure that leads to a breakdown of the body. If I am not mistaken, Hohenheim was also reluctant to switch out of his \"final\" body because of Trisha.\n\nNote then that in neither continuity is Hohenheim a homunculus. Furthermore,\nthere is no reason to think that the Elric brothers are anything but human:\n\n * In the manga continuity, Hohenheim is a human who just happens to hold a philosopher's stone of significant size: [If Van Hohenheim is a living Philosopher's Stone, what does that make Edward and Alphonse?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/21625/2604)\n\n * In the 2003 series, Hohenheim is essentially still a human. All that has happened is that he has been switching his soul into different bodies for a period of time.\n\nNow, let's deal with the issue of whether the Elric brothers are half-\nAmestrian and half-Xerxian:\n\n * Hohenheim was originally from Xerxes in the manga continuity. A description of the Elric brothers as half-Xerxian and half-Amestrian would then be technically correct. However, since Xerxes has long been destroyed, it seems doubtful that the average person in the FMA universe would have \"Xerxian\" or \"half-Xerxian\" in his vocabulary.\n\n * In the 2003 series, Hohenheim's background is not given in detail, so there is no reason to describe the Elric brothers as anything but \"Amestrian\".\n\n",

Hahaha! \n> (Everyone is laughing)\n\nHere, Mina used [わし ( _washi_\n)](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%84%82#Japanese), which is the first-\nperson pronoun used commonly for elderly, especially from Edo period.\n\n> **Usage notes**\n>\n> The term is generally only used by the elderly, and its use is often\n> considered stereotypical of them. As such, it is frequently used in TV shows\n> and comics to emphasize the age of characters.\n>\n> More commonly spelled 私, or in kana to make the reading explicit.\n\nIn anime/manga culture, if spoken by young girls, she can be considered as\nロリババア ( _loli baba_ , old loli): girls who look young but act old. (But since\nthis is a one-off joke from her, Mina is not)\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI believe this scene is a parody of\n[Negima!?](https://en.wikipedia.org/Negima!%3F), the Shaft reboot of the\nNegima anime, which I like to refer to as Pani Poni Negi due to its strong\nstylistic resemblance to Shaft's Pani Poni Dash. (Plus, when you're speaking,\nit's really hard to distinguish Negima from Negima!?.)\n\nThis is a classroom shot from Negima!?\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/3Ld9d.jpg)\n\nThe characters in the shot from Zetsubou-sensei also resemble the characters\nfrom Negima!?. In the shot above from Negima!?, the characters aren't all\nsitting at their usual positions, but of the ones who are, several appear to\nbe in the same position in the Zetsubou-sensei shot. Starting from the top\nleft in the Zetsubou-sensei shot and and going left to right, top to bottom,\nwe seem to have:\n\n 1. ?\n 2. [Yuuna Akashi](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Yuna_Akashi); we can see her trademark side ponytail\n 3. ?\n 4. [Yue Ayase](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Yue_Ayase); her high forehead, small ahoge, and the two braids stand out.\n 5. [Haruna Saotome](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Haruna_Saotome); she has long hair with two small antennae\n 6. ? (Could be Zazie Rainday in glasses)\n 7. [Satomi Hakase](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Satomi_Hakase); she has two thin braids.\n 8. [Ku Fei](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Ku_Fei); she has two spiky twin tails.\n 9. Probably [Konoka Konoe](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Konoka_Konoe); she has long dark hair like this character, and as in the Negima!? pic, she's seated next to:\n 10. [Asuna Kagurazaka](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Asuna_Kagurazaka), who has long, thin twin tails tied with bells. The character in the Zetsubou-sensei shot seems to have two little buds on her head, though it's too far away to see if they're bells.\n 11. [Misa Kakizaki](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Misa_Kakizaki); the bangs are similar and she's in the same position as she is in the Negima!? pic.\n 12. ? Based on the Negima pic, probably [Mana Tatsumiya](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Mana_Tatsumiya).\n 13. The Negima!? pic shows [Chizuru Naba](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Chizuru_Naba) in this position, but the Zetsubou-sensei character doesn't really resemble her.\n 14. ? I can't identify the character in the Negima!? pic either.\n 15. [Misora Kasuga](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Misora_Kasuga), who has a short, spiky buzz cut.\n 16. [Chao Lingshen](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Chao_Lingshen), who has buns and braids.\n 17. [Fuka Narutaki](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Fuka_Narutaki), although the character in the Zetsubou-sensei pic seems to have glasses. But she shares Fuka's pointy twin tails.\n 18. [Akira Okouchi](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Akira_Okouchi), who has a long black ponytail.\n 19. [Madoka Kugimiya](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Madoka_Kugimiya), who has short hair and stylish angle-cut bangs.\n 20. [Setsuna Sakurazaki](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Setsuna_Sakurazaki), who has a spiky ponytail and straight bangs. It's hard to tell who's sitting there in the Negima!? pic since they're turned to the side, but it's pretty clear in the Zetsubou-sensei pic.\n 21. [Nodoka Miyazaki](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Nodoka_Miyazaki), who has short hair and long bangs and sits in the same position in the Negima!? pic.\n 22. [Ako Izumi](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Ako_Izumi). In the Negima!? anime she had bluish-grey hair like we see in the Zetsubou-sensei pic, although in the manga and other anime she had purple hair. She's the one on the right in this picture from my rather large collection of screenshots that I obsessively gathered for some reason when I was watching Negima!?: \n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/vtgLEm.jpg) \nThis is the character you were asking about in particular. According to the\nsound effects ([ _ira ira_](http://thejadednetwork.com/sfx/browse/ira_ira/))\nshe's angry, and I can't really say why. My only guess is that it's a\nreference to the Negima manga; in the manga, Ako confesses her love to Negi\nwhen he's magically aged up to 16 and later suffers heartbreak when she finds\nout who he really is, so maybe she's offended that Nozomu is implying that she\nshouldn't have said anything. That's kind of a stretch, though.\n\n 23. [Kaede Nagase](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Kaede_Nagase), who has a distinctive pyramid cut.\n 24. The short-haired [Natsumi Murakami](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Natsumi_Murakami).\n 25. ? The Negima!? pic shows [Makie Sasaki](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Makie_Sasaki) but the character in the Zetsubou-sensei shot doesn't look anything like her. She does somewhat resemble bit character Kokone from the Negima manga, though.\n 26. A much taller version of [Fumika Narutaki](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Fumika_Narutaki); she retains the trademark buns.\n 27. [Sakurako Shiina](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Sakurako_Shiina), who has spiky twin tails and appears at this position in the Negima!? shot.\n 28. [Ayaka Yukihiro](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Ayaka_Yukihiro), whose long blonde locks are unmistakable, and who appears in the same position in the Negima!? pic.\n 29. [Kazumi Asakura](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Kazumi_Asakura), who has a spiky ponytail similar to Setsuna.\n 30. [Sayo Aisaka](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Sayo_Aisaka), who has long hair.\n\nThe only Negima characters who aren't accounted for are\n[Evangeline](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Evangeline_A.K._McDowell),\n[Chachamaru](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Chachamaru_Karakuri), and\n[Chizuru](http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Chizuru_Naba), and none of the mystery\ncharacters really resemble them, but otherwise it's a pretty striking match.\nPlus, we know that [Shaft has done this\nbefore](https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/17248/7579).\n\n",

The little island\n> on the upper-right corner is **Paradis** : the land where the anime takes\n> place. Its habitants are the **Eldians**. The huge continent is Marley, the\n> land of the **Marleyan** people. In short, Marleyan and Eldians used to live\n> on the same place, before an Eldian of royal blood, Ymir Fritz, made a\n> contract with the Earth Devil to gain a power. The power of the Founding\n> Titan.\n\n# After Y. Fritz\n\n> When she died, her power was split between her 9 descendants who were given\n> the possibility to shift into powerful titans like the Female, the Colossal,\n> the Armored or the Beast Titans. Because of that power, the great nation of\n> Marley felt threatened and waged war against the Eldian. The Eldians became\n> too powerful utterly and destroyed the Marleyan nation and obtained complete\n> rule over the continental mainland.\n\n# After the War\n\n> Many centuries after Eldia's ascension to power, the 145th King of the Fritz\n> family inherited the power of the Founding Titan, the greatest of all\n> Titans. Rather than maintaining order in Eldia as his forebears had done,\n> the King chose instead to relocate the capital of Eldia to the remote island\n> of Paradis. In the King's absence, the surviving peoples of Marley rose up\n> against their oppressors, starting the Great Titan War. At this time, Marley\n> succeeded in obtaining seven of the nine Titans in Eldia's possession,\n> drastically turning the tide of the war. Over an unspecified amount of time,\n> Marley gradually gained control of the continental mainland that once was\n> ruled by Eldia until only Paradis remained as King Fritz's undisputed\n> territory.\n\n# Paradis\n\n> At this time, in the year 743, King Fritz used the Progenitor Titan to guide\n> countless Colossus Titans in the raising of three concentric Walls, Maria,\n> Rose, and Sheena, around Eldia's remaining territory. In order to force\n> peace between Eldia and Marley, King Fritz gave the ultimatum that any\n> further act of war against Eldia would be met with the releasing of the\n> countless Titans hidden within the Walls. With this, the Great Titan War\n> ended.\n\n# What really happened this day\n\n> Then here comes the answer for you question : the Titan Shifters who are\n> standing against the Humanity are actually Marleyan Soldiers whose goal is\n> to defeat Eldians because the King of Marley is looking for the resources\n> that Paradis still have underground. Because of the King Fritz's threat,\n> they act sneaky instead of sending a front attack with their advanced\n> technology and incredible power.\n\n",

Saitama intervenes\n> when it gets a bit serious, grabbing Tatsumaki's hand to stop her. Tatsumaki\n> aggressively tries to blast him away. It fails and he doesn't let go. She\n> tries to bend his very energy to take him out. It fails to do much of\n> anything. She tries to knock him loose, dragging him halfway across (and\n> along) the countryside with telekinetic flight, but fails. At one point she\n> opens a large chasm in the earth and lets Saitama fall into it, then reseals\n> it and buries him there. He effortlessly digs his way up like a land shark.\n> At another point, she tries to lift Saitama up telekinetically, to hurl him\n> into space, only to find it takes extreme effort to lift him even a foot off\n> the ground. Saitama enjoys the experience of \"flying\". Ultimately Tatsumaki\n> concedes that Saitama is extremely strong, and is aggravated with how he\n> \"hides\" his true power. However, she insists that if she were at full power\n> --she has already resumed bleeding heavily from her head from the injuries\n> she suffered during the Garou arc, and is possibly concussed--then she would\n> have \"easily\" crushed Saitama. Saitama seems...unconvinced.\n\n* * *\n\n*Since some people seem unaware of this, One Punch man originated as a [webcomic](http://galaxyheavyblow.web.fc2.com) (chapter links are at the bottom).

He is a joke character,\ndesigned to be as over-powered as possible.\n\nIf you start to apply some physics on Tatsumaki's powers then picking someone\nup and throwing them at a wall is a very easy task, since when you're up in\nthe air, you don't have any footing to exert force onto in order to move in\nany particular direction. Very much like when you're in a space station.

Strong\nenough to hold him in place, or in this case, send him into a certain\ndirection.\n\nNow how will this apply to OPM? Nothing. If he gets thrown into the Sun, he'll\njust walk back out of it. If he gets held in place, then he'll just, I don't\nknow, _blow_ wind so strong he wipes out half a city or something. Even if he\ngets consumed by a black hole, he'll just punch his way out of it.\n\nThe very fundamentals of the show is that OPM can't lose. He's OPM.

Someone might have gotten\nthe idea at the start of the production, but simple thought about it makes it\nextremely difficult to pull off.\n\nThe major hurdle is licensing. Getting licenses to all the shows and\ncharacters would be massive undertaking and would take massive amounts of\ntime, effort and money.\n\nNext is getting authors of other works agree to have someone else write\nofficial story with their own characters. I'm sure most authors would not be\nfine having their own characters being written by someone else.\n\nThere is also a problem of fitting the characters into the story. Many popular\ncharacters have clearly defined personality and fitting that personality into\nthe story might not be easy. And while many characters are clearly influenced\nor based on other fictional characters, there are none who would fit into the\nstory exactly.\n\nAnother thing is fan perception. If characters from existing stories would be\nused, it would change canon as seen by fans. And it is not something authors\nof the originals might want. And it might take some twisting of the\ncharacter's personalities to fit them into the story, resulting in outrage of\nfans at clearly out-of-character depiction of their favorites.\n\nSo no, I don't think this was ever a worthy idea during production of\nRe:Creators.\n\n",

This would also be counter intuitive from a plot point of view. At some level a need for transformation must be there. (Example: Eren not wanting to die in the Titan's stomach inadvertently triggered his first transformation)\n * A Clear purpose and Goal for the transformation.

Meanwhile he failed to transform initially because he didn't want to fight Annie.\n\nOnly when these all combine is a Shifter able to transform.\n\nSources: Anime.

However, there are two out-of-universe\nreasons for Kaori's lack of fame that come to mind.\n\nFirstly, even classical music listeners might not follow competitions closely\nenough to recognise those who performed well in them. I mostly listen to\nclassical music and I know the names of a number of _big_ competitions, but I\nbarely know the names of those who did well. Moreover, with the exception of\ncertain \"niche\" interests -- period instruments, transcriptions, some types of\nvocal performance -- I am likely to end up listening to recordings and\nperformances by better known, more \"established\" musicians whom I already\nknow.\n\nNote also that there are any number of decent musicians who play difficult\nrepertoire but are not well-known outside of their local circles.\n\nSecondly, it is made clear by episode 2 that Kaori does a poor job at\nfollowing the score, which might prevent her from getting a following in the\nright circles.1 I might avoid someone whom I knew to consistently and\nflagrantly push an interpretation that clearly was not the composer's\nintention, and I am not the only one. My teachers would also be unhappy with\nme if I played like that, which in turn would inhibit my development and\nrecognition.\n\n* * *\n\n 1. When I speak of \"following the score,\" I do not mean robotically playing it without thought. Rather, I mean that the production is intelligent and approximates what the composer might have expected. It is important that I \"stick to the score\" in my piano playing, but when I do so, I still have to make decisions and play thoughtfully.\n\n",

They got lazy, or they didn't have enough time to think of a unique mangekyo sharingan ability and animate the effects. So they slapped Sasuke's eyes onto Indra and called it a day.\n\n 2. Indra having Sasuke's eyes symbolizes how Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra. Indra's personality, physical prowess, and intelligence were all passed down to him. So it makes sense that the MS was also passed down too.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI've only watched the anime (and a few months ago at that) but truth be told,\nI'm of the opinion that she did know that Arima had feelings for her. **Take\nwhat I'm about to say with a grain of salt** though as I do think that Kaori's\ntrue goal at the end was to get Arima to love himself somehow by whatever\nmeans she could. I don't think her true intention really was to get him to\nfall in love with her either but become a part of his life that would would\ngalvanize his restoration.\n\nHere are my thoughts:\n\nThroughout the series, Kaori shows immense respect towards Arima's skills\nhaving admitted at some point later in the series that he was a source of\ninspiration for her. As a result she seems overwhelmingly distraught at the\nstate of disrepair that Arima has fallen into. She initially enters his life\nby the first performances together and using Watari.\n\nAs this goes on its easy to see by everyone in the series that Arima has\nformed a dependency towards her (especially Tsubaki), and whether or not these\nare romantic, Kaori seems to realize this or even if she doesn't the scale of\nmeddling and pushing Arima to strive towards reclaiming some former glory\nincreases. Unfortunately Kaori is doomed, and then realizes that all her\neffort to push him to revitalize him is at stake and gives him her final\nwishes etc in an effort to convince him to move on with his life after her. I\nthink this acknowledgement of dependency and her trying to help him move on\nfrom her as a result is key to the idea that she knows he loves her.\n\nI know I'm making Kaori seem manipulative (or unknowingly manipulative) and\nmaybe I'm putting too much confidence in what she's capable of doing but at\nthe least that's how I interpret it. As with the shows name, she lied. Kaori\ntold Aroma, Watari, Tsubaki, and everyone else, that she loved Watari. By\ntelling everyone this it was known as a fact. But then you realize she loves\nArima instead. Resulting in,\" Your Lie in April,\" because she lied in the\nmonth of April by using Watari.\n\n",

She thought that he\nloved Tsubaki, or rather everyone knew that but apart from those 2. She,\nhowever, did love Arima. She factually said that at the end of the letter\nmultiple times and asked him to remember her... if the letter reaches him. The\nway it was written indicates that she is \"aware\" about him loving someone else\nwhich means that he doesn't love her as a lover, in her eyes, but probably as\na friend or musical partner.\n\nWhether this thought from her is right or wrong is something I can't validate.\nIf anything, I'd say that he loves her more than Tsubaki, but Tsubaki was most\nlikely his first love though.\n\nBut to answer your question, according to the letter written by her, she was\nunaware about his feelings for her.

Also the\nmusic indicates that this is something of a climax moment). She asked Kousei\nwhat inspired him during his first participation to a competition after so\nmany years and he admits it was her. Right after his performance, he is picked\nup by his mother's old friend and most famous Japanese pianist Hiroko Seto\n(the beginning of episode 11). She bluntly asks Kousei who he loves:\n\n> Long hair chick, short hair chick?\n\nAnd she explains:\n\n> your playing told me so much. It was saying: I love you... When you are\n> young, the piano turns your heart into an open book.\n\n(At that moment, Kousei does not admit to himself yet that this feeling is\nlove, but later on in the series he comes to the same conclusion as Seto.)\nKaori, being herself a gifted musician, must have heard the same message in\nKousei's music. In fact, she is emotionally touched by the performance of\nKousei. At that moment, it could well be that she thinks that it is love for\nTsubaki that is driving Kousei’s music. (there is no indication of that in the\nstory however, so it’s only speculation). But after Kousei admits it was Kaori\nwho inspired him during his performance, it becomes clear to her. Also look\nclosely at her facial expression. Contrary to her normal eccentric behaviour,\nher reaction is very muted and even shows emotions of utter surprise and\nshock. This tells me that it was never her intention that Kousei would develop\nfeelings for her. As she explained in her final letter, the entire set-up with\nher lie (in April) was just meant to come closer to Kousei without hurting\nTsubaki too much (who she knew was madly love with Kousei, even if Tsubaki\nherself had not recognized these feelings herself). If she really had wanted\nKousei to fall in love with her, she would probably have been more direct and\nless a bully towards Kousei. That she asks all those questions in her final\nletter such as “did I reach you? Don’t you forget me?” is just perfectly\nnormal. Even lovers ask each other regularly: “do you love me”? So, these are\nnot real questions, she just asks for a confirmation for something she already\nknows. Even telling that he can throw away picture with her and Kousei as\nsmall children if he didn’t want it, is just “I am not going to force you to\nkeep the picture, but as I know you love me and will always remember me, I am\nsure you will keep it.” The last image in the anime and manga is in fact the\npicture standing in a frame on the piano of Kousei (together with the letter),\nas the confirmation that she was right.\n\n",

Take\nnote that, Kaori had said (or monolog) and understand that for Kosei, music is\nhis whole life.

Edward's decision to trade his gate\nfor Alphonse is portrayed as rather final, per Truth's question to him after\nhe proposes the exchange:\n\n> The Gate of Truth exists within everyone. That is how everyone can use\n> alchemy. Will you degrade yourself to an ordinary person, unable to use\n> alchemy?\n\n_Brotherhood_ points out more explicitly:\n\n> Are you sure about this? If you lose your gateway, you'll never be able to\n> use alchemy again.\n\nIt is thus unlikely that the exchange can be reversed; Edward even notes that\nhis recovery of Alphonse is \"the Fullmetal Alchemist's final transmutation.\"\nFurthermore, the personal nature of the gate makes me doubt that it is\npossible for someone else to make an exchange for Edward's own gate. (If\nEdward is the only person who can access his gate and thus, be able to give it\naway, then he is probably the only person who would be able to exchange it\nback, in the scenario where regaining one's alchemy is possible.)\n\nAside from the issue of whether the exchange is _technically_ possible, Edward\nalso does not really care about regaining his lost abilities. Even if he\nmourned the loss, it is doubtful that he would let Alphonse sacrifice himself\nin this manner. (Alphonse notes after the time-skip that Edward does not mind\nkeeping his automail leg \"as a reminder\" and that \"apparently he had no\nintention of trying to get it back\" -- Edward only really cared about\nrecovering Alphonse's body. Surely Edward does not care about being \"an\nordinary person\" who cannot use alchemy, if he is even willing to live with\nhis automail leg.)\n\n",

Speaking of servants, doesn't\nit look like they are of the Berserker, Assassin, Lancer, Saber, Archer, Rider\nand Caster classes, respectively, from left to right?\n\n## The Eighth Warrior?\n\nA bulky baldy can be seen in both the first ED and episode 23 of _Fate/Zero_.\nI include him here for completeness and also because the _somatophylakes_\nlater expanded to include an eighth individual.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/INE2r.jpg)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/TnMyD.jpg)\n\n## Designations by Fans\n\nImmediately after the airing of episode 11 of _Fate/Zero_ , someone, possibly\nfrom 2chan, posted this fan-annotated image that names these important-looking\npeople:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/1rAY1.jpg)\n\nTop row: [Eumenes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eumenes),\n[Parmenion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parmenion) \nMiddle row: [Hephaestion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hephaestion),\n[Ptolemy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemy_I_Soter)\n\nIt's actually quite an educated guess: Eumenes was known for his loyalty to\nhis master and his role as the private secretary of Alexander; Parmenion was\nan experienced general who killed to ensure Alexander's succession to the\nthrone was a smooth one, and being Alexander's second in command and also\n40-50 years older than him puts Parmenion as a likely candidate to the\nidentity of the old man in turban; Hephaestion's and Ptolemy's names are on\nthere probably just because they are more well-known.\n\n## Traces in Canon Works\n\nBut \"[Hephaestion](https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Iskandar%27s_Shadow)\" does\nactually make an appearance in _Lord El-Melloi II Case Files_ , and she has\nthis to say about [Lord El-Melloi\nII](https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Waver_Velvet):\n\n>\n> 「ケチ。せせこましい。暗くて偏屈。寝起きが悪い。黴びた書物ばかり読んでる。卑屈なくせに傲慢。さも苦労人でございって顔をしてるくせに、終わってみれば一番事態を搔き回してる。どうだ、全部当たってるだろう」\n\n> 「気に入らない。まったく気に入らない。そんな偏屈な顔はエウメネスで見飽きてるというのに、この時代でも見せられるのか」\n\nI can't provide a faithful translation, but she's basically saying she hates\nto see that perverse, arrogant and miserly face of Lord El-Melloi II even\nthough she has seen enough of them already from Eumenes.\n\nAlso, in _Fate/Grand Order_ , if you have both Zhuge Liang (Lord El-Melloi II)\nand Iskander as your Servants, then talking to a Bond Lvl 5 Iskander in My\nRoom will trigger [Dialogue\n4](https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Sub:Iskandar/Dialogue):\n\n> Hm? You have a strategist with a stern countenance. I’d like to see him\n> compete with Eumenes- Ah, he’s still an immature youth on the inside. How\n> amusing it would be if he met Hephaestion!\n\nThese details seem to corroborate the likeness of Eumenes to an adult Waver,\nand we have [one such person in Ionioi\nHetairoi](https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/22832/8486)!\n\nUpdate: no more detective guesswork, it has officially been presented in\n_[Lord El-Melloi II Case Files\nmaterial](https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Lord_El-\nMelloi_II_Case_Files_material)_ that the Waver lookalike is Eumenes, and the\nsoldier wearing a flashy [Corinthian\nhelmet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corinthian_helmet) is Ptolemy. Now it\nmakes sense why there is a sphinx in the design of the helmet, at least in the\n_Fate/Zero_ anime, due to Ptolemy's connections to Egypt where his empire is\nbased. Bear in mind that there were a number of\n[officers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Generals_of_Alexander_the_Great)\nnamed Ptolemy who served Alexander the Great, but there is little doubt that\nthis is Ptolemy I Soter we're talking about, as linked earlier.\n\n \n\nThe seven warriors made a cameo reappearance in the _Lord El-Melloi II's Case\nFiles: Rail Zeppelin Grace Note_ anime, though some of their designs have been\naltered so greatly (is that you, EMIYA?) that I doubt if they are the same\npeople as the original seven in the Sound Drama illustration.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/gMUkJ.jpg)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/kxFo0.jpg)\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/aUS9m.jpg)\n\n## My Speculations\n\nI offer my speculations regarding the identities of the 7+1 warriors and use\nthe 7+1 Servant classes as placeholders to indicate the one being named.\n\n * Saber: Hephaestion. He was rumored to be Alexander's lover, being taller, more handsome and more king-like than him, such that Darius III's mother mistook Hephaestion for the King of Conquerors. \"This man too is Alexander.\" His weapon of choice is the same as Iskander; his flaunting the bare upper body is the same as the version of the King of Heroes in the _Fate/Grand Order: Absolute Demonic Front - Babylonia_ anime; heck, he was even buried in Babylonia! After the death of Cleitus the Black, he became the sole commander of the Companion cavalry, a prominent leading position befitting of the screenshots above. He has a striking resemblance to the silhouette of [Hephaestion](https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Hephaestion) as drawn in chapter 45 of the _Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files_ manga.\n * Lancer: [Coenus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coenus_\\(general\\)). He commanded the right-most battalion of infantry, which in the Macedonian battle tradition, was the best of the phalanx, indicating that he was one of the ablest generals of Alexander the Great. He was also the first among the commanders who had the boldness to urge his master to end the eastern conquest and return home, but would die of illness at the commencement of the return journey.\n * Archer: Eumenes. Confirmed by official sources (except for the Servant class).\n * Rider: Ptolemy. Confirmed by official sources (except for the Servant class).\n * Caster: [Porus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porus). [Yngvi](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/49399/8486) made a good point that the old man in turban could be Poros, or Porus the Elder. Other than the obvious Indian appearance, Porus must have been a lot older than Alexander because he has had two sons that died in the Battle of the Hydaspes.\n * Assassin: [Cleitus the Black](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleitus_the_Black). The epithet 'the Black' was used to distinguish him from Cleitus the White, probably because he had a darker hair or skin color. He severed the arm of an enemy general who went after Alexander's life, thus saving him, and was later promoted to be one of the two commanders of the Companion cavalry, the other being Hephaestion. Cleitus was assassinated by Alexander under the effects of alcohol, three years before Alexander and his army would embark on a journey to cross the [Gedrosian desert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gedrosia).\n * Berserker: [Mithrenes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithrenes). He was a Persian commander who surrendered to Alexander after the battle of the Granicus. He fought for Alexander at Gaugamela against an army that included his father, Orontes II. After his appointment to Satrap of Armenia, he disappeared from the historical record and his ultimate fate unknown.\n * Avenger (the bulky baldy): [Lysimachus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysimachus). He once overcame a lion with his bare hands and earned Alexander's respect. For reasons unknown, he murdered his eldest son, which caused revolts in many of his cities and the desertion of his friends.\n\n## Nicknames in _Sensha Otoko_\n\nIt's regrettable to say that we aren't able to identify most of the subjects\nin question with confidence, but if nicknames satisfy you,\n[these](https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Sensha_Otoko#Family) are what they're\ncalled in _Sensha Otoko_ :\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/laRZ7.jpg)\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI would argue that the old man with a turban is actually the Indian king\nPoros, not Parmenion. For three reasons:\n\n 1. The obvious Indian appearance of the character\n 2. Parmenion was executed by Alexander, because his son Philotas plotted against him.\n 3. Poros was also an old man, and swore loyalty to Alexander after the battle of the Hydaspes. He served him and remained loyal to him until Alexander's death in 323.\n\nAt the battle of the Hydaspes, Alexander was impressed by Poros' courage and\ndetermination (he fought personally in the battle despite his old age), so he\nspared him and his kingdom, and took him as a subject. His presence in Ionioi\nHetairoi would be logical.\n\nAs for the others, Eumenes is indeed an educated guess for the Waver\nlookalike, but it's basically impossible to determine the identity of the\nothers.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThis is a good question that Isayama has answered so subtly in his manga.\n\nFirst and foremost,\n\n> Bertholdt, Reiner and Annie come from a 'ghetto' neighborhood of Marley,\n> where Eldians are put to reside. There is a lot of blatant racism in the\n> nation of Marley, especially towards Eldians. Eldians do not have the same\n> rights as Marleyans, and the operate as a inferior race. However Marleyans\n> know the power of Eldians, thus Marleyans are using the titan powers by\n> guilt-feeding Eldians into joining the army and serving the nation of\n> Marley. The guilt is based on the Marleyan theory that Eldians in the past\n> used their titan powers and committed war crimes towards Marleyans.\n\nWhich means that for\n\n> kids raised in these 'ghettos' such as Reiner, or Bertholdt, are brainwashed\n> this idea that _only_ serving the Marleyan army will give Eldians their\n> _acknowledgement_ , and hopefully pay for the crimes that their Eldian\n> ancestors did in the past.\n\nTherefore,\n\n> Reiner and Bertholdt are part of those kids who excel their training in\n> order to have 'the honor' of becoming a titan shifter.\n\nAfter being assigned a mission to invade\n\n> the walls, Reiner and Bertholdt initially had this idea of wiping out every\n> human inside the walls, kidnapping the Coordinator Titan power, and\n> returning to their homeland.\n\nHowever,\n\n> after living there for quite a few years, Reiner saw that Eldians within the\n> walls were not evil as they were portrayed by the Marleyan government. On\n> the contrary, Reiner befriended other survey corps members, and a lot of\n> them were depending on him. So he became more sympathetic and understandable\n> towards the people inside the walls.\n\nWhich led to Reiner\n\n> facing his ultimate dilemma: is he a \"soldier\" (aka survey corps), or a\n> \"warrior\" (aka Marleyan spy)?\n\nAnd this is the beauty of Isayama's story-telling. We learn both perspectives,\nand that makes us understand both protagonists and antagonists. To quote\nBertrand Russell _War does not determine who is right, only who is **left_**\n\nSPOILER ALERT Additional information showed on manga chapter 93. This is\nanother hint why Reiner behaved in such a way. He has been feeling guilt and\nhis position in this war has not been clear to him.

[[1](http://news.ameba.jp/20161008-597/)]\n\n> Although it's a premise of concept-based composition, at first, like my\n> ordinary work, my job was to write a whole song and gave it to them. Since\n> the song would be selected according to the movie scene, I put a 3-letter\n> title as an identification code.\n\n... while it doesn't answer the question at all, that's the very reason why he\nchose to use it. [[1](http://news.ameba.jp/20161008-597/)]\n\n> Because it's not based on orders, I wanted them to use it without giving any\n> pretext such as \"this is the meaning of the song\". With that remnant, I also\n> wanted the listener of the soundtrack to have same thought.\n\nHowever, Ushio explained that it's not random at all.\n[[1](http://news.ameba.jp/20161008-597/)]\n\n> However, it's not a random 3-letter word. \"htb\", the 12th song on 1st disc,\n> is another version of \"heartbeat\" from the 1st song on 2nd disc. The hints\n> are more or less there.\n\nThe first and the most important song is **\" inv\"**. [[2](http://koenokatachi-\nmovie.com/music/#music-interview)]\n\n> While [Bach's\n> Inventions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inventions_and_Sinfonias_\\(Bach\\))\n> can be considered as a musical excersise for fingering, at the same time, at\n> that time period, it's also a collection of song to understand the beauty of\n> clavier (i.e. piano) song. After it's understood, it became a base to create\n> such a beautiful clavier song. I thought it's matching with the movie's\n> theme. Therefore, the \"Invention\" was played along the whole movie. That\n> become the \"inv\" tracks.\n>\n> Since\n> \"[Invention](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention_\\(musical_composition\\))\"\n> can be analyzed (separated) into 3-part, I also separated the movie into 3\n> parts. Each part has its own \"Invention\". However, \"inv\" is not a whole\n> \"Invention\" itself, but it depends on the context of the movie. For example,\n> when somebody said \"This scene's \"inv\" uses only the [tone\n> row](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone_row) of \"Invention\" part 1\", I\n> disassembled and rebuilt the song.\n\n**(Spoiler ahead: the meaning of the song related to the movie, _including the\nending_ )**\n\n> After Shouya overcame his guilt in primary school, he created a new way of\n> communication. The story is about \"communication practice\", so I used\n> musical exercises. The song was based on creating a whole new world when\n> practising the communication. When thinking about it, Bach's Inventions (\n> _Inventions and Sinfonias_ ) came to my mind. \n> \n> Regarding the ending, when Shouya and Shouko entered the cultural festival,\n> the last-7 [measure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_\\(music\\)) of\n> \"Invention\" was played, and that's the first time the whole figure of\n> \"Invention\" was known. At that time, Shouya's \"practice\" was over.\n\nThe only other title which was explained was \"lit\"\n[[1](http://news.ameba.jp/20161008-597/)]\n\n> The last song \"lit\", which was only played 2 times, means \"light\". This\n> movie, which is about achieving the light, ended with this song attached.\n\n* * *\n\n[[1](http://news.ameba.jp/20161008-597/)]: Interview after the screening\n(Japanese) \n[[2](http://koenokatachi-movie.com/music/#music-interview)]: Interview on\nofficial site (Japanese)\n\n",
