In order to\nretain its structure and not collapse in on itself, there must be technology\nwithin it that manipulates space and gravity to offset the implossive force\nand maintain about 1G throughout every stratum/layer of the sphere.\n\nHere's where the GBE comes in. Nihei suggested that the GBE fires a beam of\ngravitons in such a way that this retention force is disrupted, thus allowing\ngravity to behave normally along the path of the beam, which is sufficient to\ncollapse that space/material in upon itself. Combine this intense localized\ngravitational force with the energy released from matter being almost\ninstantaneously compressed into ~0 volume, and the result is the spectacular\ndestruction we see when Killy fires it.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-07-19T23:58:05.547", "id": "47939", "last_activity_date": "2018-07-20T02:12:31.990", "last_edit_date": "2018-07-20T02:12:31.990", "last_editor_user_id": "2516", "owner_user_id": "41618", "parent_id": "42486", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nFrieza is playing to win, simple as that. And the prize here is both survival\nand the Super Dragonballs. And using Frost helps accomplish that goal, along\nwith being very much in-character for Frieza.\n\nFirst, Frieza loves torture and just screwing with people. As far as he is\nconcerned, others are just tools for him to use. And once the tool has lost\nit's usefulness, it can be discarded. In DBZ, Frieza didn't need any of the\nraces he enslaved to be able to conquer a planet. He was more than capable of\ndoing that on his own. He did it for ease, simplicity and just being a sadist.\nHe enjoys it.\n\nSecond, in order to survive, the other universes need to lose more fighters\nthan U7. By allying, even temporarily with Frost, he effectively adds another\nfighter to their side. This just makes it easier to ensure U7 can win.\n\nAdditionally, a theme we've seen come up quite a few times is the notion of\nconserving stamina. Frieza has tremendous power, but using it drains stamina.\nUsing Frost doesn't. So by getting Frost to do some of the dirty work lets\nFrieza conserve power for later when he needs it.\n\nAlso, having an out-of-team ally plays to the desire to get the Super\nDragonballs. While I can't find specifics on who from the winning team gets to\nmake the wish on the Super Dragonballs, presumably if there is only one person\nleft, they would get the wish. Using Frost would allow Frieza to eliminate\nmembers of the U7 team without earning the wrath of Goku, Vegeta, etc, who\ncould potentially eliminate him. (Think about what happened when Frieza killed\nKrillin on Namek.) And I am sure Frieza wants that wish. Badly. And this helps\nhim to become the last man standing.\n\nIt all is simply a means to an end. And a means that Frieza particularly\nenjoys.\n\n* * *\n\nFrom a story telling perspective, this also serves as a reminder of who Goku\nhas been forced to ally with. The stakes are high. And when even Goku\nrecognizes the need for Frieza's help and tolerates his brutality, it further\nshows the direness of the situation. It also sets up a possibility of betrayal\nlater, reminding the audience that Goku's only threats aren't just Jiren and\nlosing the tournament. He also has to watch out to avoid being back stabbed.\nImagine what could happen if Frieza were to win _and get a wish on the Super\nDragonballs_.

Given that, the list of suspects was short. And given\nhow L deduced that Kira was probably a student, given the timings of killings,\netc. that list was only going to get shorter. Light needed to eliminate L and\nthe investigation as soon as possible so he could kill freely.\n\nLight, through Ryuk, found out that someone was following him and\ninvestigating him.

He then concocted the bus\nscheme to force his follower to reveal his identity, learning that he was an\nFBI agent.\n\nNow knowing that the FBI agents were in Japan, Light followed a similar path\nin logic to what L took, that they must be investigating those close to the\nJapanese police. He also correctly assumed that the police did not know about\nthe FBI's investigation. He then determined that if the Japanese police became\naware of the FBI and thus L's investigation into them, it would cause distrust\nbetween L and the police. This would then hopefully remove any local help L\nwould get. In addition, it could also scare off anyone else from the\ninternational community from interfering with Kira. At any rate, reducing the\nnumber of people Light had to contend with increased his chances of coming out\nof all this alive.\n\nAlso, Light knew he would be under greater suspicion after the FBI agent\nrevealed himself. Those FBI agents were never supposed to reveal themselves as\nFBI agents at all. It would be somewhat suspicious, especially to L, that one\nwas forced to do so. As such, if L were to find out that the FBI agent had to\nreveal himself to Light who was already a suspect, it would further increase\nthe suspicion of Light as Kira. Light knew this and thus needed to kill the\nFBI agent prior to that information being reported.\n\nSo by killing the FBI agent Light accomplished a few things. One he put the\npolice at odds with L. Second he reduced the number of people investigating.\nAnd third he was able to prevent critical information from getting reported.\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2017-10-02T18:10:00.277", "id": "42590", "last_activity_date": "2017-10-02T18:10:00.277", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "1778", "parent_id": "42573", "post_type": "answer", "score": 3 } ]

However, in the midst of battle, Naruto understood the\npain that Pain possessed. It was for revenge. Pain was angry that someone\nclose to him had been killed.

In\nresponse to his anger (about that situation), the Kyuubi rampaged. Within\nNaruto's clouded consciousness, his father appeared. Naruto expressed his own\nhesitations. He asked his father for a means to stop the chain of hatred.

In front of the enemy, Naruto was forced to make a choice: to\neither achieve revenge, or (to do something else)?.!? Naruto listened to the\n\"pain\" that Nagato had experienced. In addition, Naruto made a decision about\n(how to) conclude (the situation): \"Reconciliation\". No matter how much \"pain\"\nwould certainly accompany him, and no matter how many obstacles awaited him?.\nNaruto would not abandon (trying to achieve) genuine peace. Those were\nJiraiya's thoughts (for the meaning behind) the name \"Naruto\". Naruto's strong\nwill then swayed the heart of Nagato, who was filled with hatred.\n\n**Top Caption**\n\n人々が本当の意味で 理解し合える時代 。真の平和を疑わず目指す。 Aiming for an era when everyone would truly\nbe able to understand each other: Naruto had no doubts about genuine peace.\n\n**Middle Caption**\n\nナルトの真っ直ぐな眼と言葉は、 新たな未来の可能性を予感させた。 With his direct gaze and words, Naruto\nforeshadowed the possibility of a new future.\n\n英雄 Hero\n\n師匠からは「名前」と 「諦めないド根性」を。 兄弟子からは、「痛み」を。\n数々の想いと信頼を受け、ナルトは前へと歩む。そして、里に戻ったナルトを待っていたのは、 思わぬ歓迎だった?。 いたずらで皆の気を引く少年はもういない。\n皆に信頼される、本物の英雄がそこにいた。 From his master, Naruto was given his \"name\" and \"the\nutter gutsiness to not give up\". From (his master's) senior disciple, Naruto\nwas given pain. As Naruto accepts the trust and thoughts (of many people), he\nwalks forward. And so, when Naruto returned to the village, the people were\nwaiting for him. It was an unexpected reception(/welcome back)...He was no\nlonger the boy who caused mischief (in order to) attract everyone else's\nattention. (Naruto was now) a true hero who was trusted by everyone.\n\n**Bottom Right Caption**\n\n小南は平和を願った弥彦と長門の想いを、ナルトに託した。 Konan entrusted Naruto with the thoughts of Yahiko\nand Nagato.

That pact was to\nbring Sasuke back home to the village. But now, it was also a common objective\nfor the two of them. In order to (bring Sasuke back), both of them diligently\napplied their skills and cultivated their own personalities by working hard.\nWhile (they were training),they could share in their hope and despair with one\nanother. “The bonds of Team 7” certainly exist…!!\n\n**Top Caption:**\n\nサクラの突然の告白。だが、ナルトはその奥に隠された想いに気づく。 It’s Sakura’s abrupt confession of love.\nHowever, Naruto noticed those feelings that were concealed behind (her words).\n\nGaara // 我愛羅 ナルトにとって、我愛羅は同じ痛みを知る者であり、里の垣根を超えた友でもある。そんな彼の言葉はナルトの 心に深く響く。\n友として、サスケのために何が できるか。戦友の心からの助言を、ナルトは強くかみしめた。 Since Gaara was someone who\nunderstood the same pain as Naruto, (their friendship) transcended through the\nboundaries of the village. The words of such a guy deeply resounded within\nNaruto’s heart. As (Naruto’s) friend, what could he do for Sasuke’s sake.\nNaruto strongly reflected upon the advice from his fellow comrade’s heart.\n\n**Middle Caption:**\n\nサスケの「友」として、自分は何ができるのか。。。答えはナルト自身が出すしかない。 As Sasuke’s “Friend”, what could he\npersonally do for him?... Naruto had no choice but to give that answer on his\nown.\n\nSasuke // サスケ 「終末の谷」「大蛇丸のアジト」 ――幾度かのナルトの説得も、 サスケには届かなかった。一流の忍になったニ人が拳を合わせ、\nそして見えた心の内...!! もはやニ人は拳で分かり合うしかない。 ナルトはサスケと戦い、憎しみ全てを受け止める覚悟を決めた。 At “The Valley\nof the End” and “Orochimaru’s Hide-out” ――(No matter) how many times Naruto\npersuaded him, (his thoughts) did not even reach Sasuke. The two of them had\nbecome top-notch shinobi. By joining fists, what were they then able to see\nwithin (eachother’s) hearts…! (By exchanging blows), already the two of them\nhad no other choice but to understand (one another). As Naruto fought with\nSasuke, he prepared himself to receive all of his hatred.\n\n**Bottom Right Caption**\n\n大切な繋がりを守るため、命を懸ける。。。!! In order to protect their bond, he risked his life…\n\n**Bottom Left Caption**\n\nサスケとは自分が戦う! ナルトの中には、揺るぎない覚悟ができていた。 He fought with Sasuke by himself! Within\nNaruto, he was able to uphold a solid resolution (to shoulder Sasuke’s\nburdens).\n\nKiller Bee// キラービー 人柱力のナルトにとって、理想の姿はビーと八尾の関係そのもの。互いに心を通わせ、冗談を言っ て笑いあう。\nナルトはビーとの修業で人柱力の力の使い方と共に、目指すべ き「絆」の育み方も学んだ。 Since Naruto is a Jinchuuriki (he\nshould strive to have the) relationship as (the bond between) between Bee and\nthe Hachibi. Their connection was the ideal figure itself (of what should be\nbetween the host and Jinchuuriki). Going back and forth with each other in\ntheir minds, they tell jokes and laugh together. By training together with\nBee, Naruto learned about the usage of the power of his Jinchuuriki. In\naddition, Naruto aimed for a way to elevate their “Bond”.\n\n**Middle Caption**\n\nノリノリで拳を合わす、 奇妙な師弟関係が生まれた ...!! In high-spirits, they bump fists. A strange\nteacher-student relationship was born...!!\n\nIruka // イルカ ナルトにとって、イルカは初めての理解者であり、常に心に在り続ける存在。\n戦場へと向かうナルトへ贈られたイルカの言葉は、数々の激闘の中でナルトの支えになった!! Iruka was the first person to be\nunderstanding towards Naruto, so (Naruto) always continues to keep (Iruka’s)\nbeing within his heart. As Naruto headed towards the battlefield, Iruka\nconferred a few words to him. During many fierce battles, (Iruka’s thoughts)\nbecame support for Naruto!!\n\n**Bottom Right Caption**\n\n恩師の想いを胸に、いざ戦場へ!! With his former teacher’s thoughts in his chest, (Naruto) now\nheads towards the battlefield!!\n\nKurama//九喇嘛 幼少期、周囲に拒絶されてきたナルトは、九尾の憎しみが理解できた。今はもうバケ狐じゃな\nい。ナルトは「九喇嘛」の名を呼び、呪われし心の封を解いた。 Since Naruto was rejected throughout his\nchildhood (by the village), he was able to understand the Kyuubi’s hatred.\nNow, he was no longer the ‘Bakekitsune” (Monster Fox). When Naruto called out\nthe name“Kurama”, the seal of the cursed heart would then become untied.\n\n**Top Caption**\n\nもはや駆け引きは不要! 真に心で分かり合えたのだ。 Haggling is no longer necessary! They could truly\nunderstand each other’s hearts.\n\nKushina//クシナ 人柱力の修業中、ナルトは精神の中で母と会う。 母は修業の手助けと共に、大切なものを遺した。 それは愛。 強き想いは\nナルトに、大いなる力を与える。 During his training with his Jinchuuriki, he met his Mother\nwithin his soul. Along with helping him with his training, his Mother left\nbehind something important (to Naruto): her love. Those strong thoughts\ngranted Naruto a huge (amount of) strength.\n\n**Middle Caption:**\n\n感極まる母との邂逅は、ナルトの心を晴れやかに!! He had chance meeting with his Mother, who was\novercome with emotion. Naruto’s heart was radiantly refreshed!!\n\nItachi//イタチ 仲間を忘れ個に執着すれば、 必ず失敗する。 戦いの業を全て背負おうとしていたナルトは、イ タチの戒めの言葉を、深く胸に刻む。 ‘If\none forgets comrades, and becomes attached to “the individual”, one will\ncertainly fail.’ Naruto was trying to be burdened with all of the aspects of\nthe battle. He then engraved Itachi’s words of caution deeply into his chest.\n\n**Bottom Left Caption**\n\n仲間に認められてこそ火影なのだ。 If one is recognized by his comrades, (that person) will\nsurely be the Hokage.\n\n**Side Splash Text**\n\n託されしものを一心に受け「和」を以て悪夢を払わん They wholeheartedly accept the things that were\nentrusted to them.

Facing the power of the“Individual”that Madara and\nObito pushed forth, Naruto opposed them with the power of “Bonds”. With\nhis“Connection” to his comrades, he surely believed in them (in order for them\nto unleash) a jutsu to overcome a huge force. With the support of his comrades\nand through the feverish “Feelings” that they conveyed to him, Naruto granted\nthem a great power. Naruto he made them say that (they could) even surpass\nthe“Infinite Tsukuyomi”with the “Shinobi Alliance Jutsu”. It was completed (on\nthe battlefield).\n\n**Top Caption**\n\nナルトの盾となり散ったネジの想いも一緒に!九喇嘛チャクラを仲間に渡して、一丸となり戦う! ! Neji became a shield for Naruto\nand died a noble death! As well as dispersing Neji’s thoughts and feelings,\nNaruto was transferring Kurama’s chakra to his comrades.

They became a nostalgic, united front!\n\n第七班 再び Once Again, They Become Team 7\n\n大蛇丸の ”穢土転生” で復活した歴代火影と共に、うちはサスケが戦線参加。ナルト、サクラ、 そしてサスケ…約四年の時を経て、木ノ葉の第七班は復活した。\nそれぞれの思惑はありつつも、 里を守ることに変わりはない。 力を合わせて共闘する第七班は、 空白の時を感じさせぬほどに、 絶妙な連携を見せるのだった。\nTogether with the former generations of Hokage, who were resurrected by\nOrochimaru’s “Edo-Tensei”, Uchiha Sasuke participated on the war-front.\nNaruto, Sakura, and then Sasuke….approximately four years had elapsed. It was\nthe comeback of Konoha’s Team 7. Even though each of them had their own\nopinions, it didn’t change (their will to) protect the village. Team 7 joined\nforces for a united front, to the extent where they could not feel that a\nblank space of time (had elapsed). They showed superb cooperation (with one\nanother).\n\n**Bottom Caption**\n\n第七班に木ノ葉の同期達も出揃って、 懐かしき光景に。。。!!

Perhaps your comrades\nmay betray you. Perhaps wars may be repeated again. However, why do you risk\nyour life to that extent for battle!? While knowing that it will be a thorny\npath, why do you advance (to the battlefields). Obito proposed a question as\nhe was in despair about the world. Naruto pointed out his own “Ninja Way”. ‘I\nwon’t go back on my words’――(He would quote it) verbatim, no matter the\ndifficult (situation that he faced). He would not abandon his dream…! Naruto\nwas aiming to be “Hokage”. Even though he knew that it would be a precipitous\njourney, Naruto was someone who would continue to walk (towards his goal) by\ncutting through with his leadership!!\n\n**Top Caption**\n\n夢は自分で掴むもの。ナルトは逃げないッ!!

Since Higuchi was its previous\nowner, the ownership passed back to Light. Also, the Shinigami in possession\nof the Death Note before Higuchi was Rem.\n\nSo when, Light knew that Soichiro Yagami (his father) gave the Death Note to\nsomeone from Mello's gang (who they called Y462), he gave up the ownership of\nthat Death Note. So the ownership now passed to Y462. Since this Y462 guy was\neventually killed by the leader of the gang, the ownership must have passed to\nthe next person who touched the Death Note, that logically being Kal Snyder.\nIt is never mentioned that Kal Snyder never touched the Death Note. He must\nhave. That is why he became its owner.\n\nThere are two logical ways in which the ownership of a Death Note can be\naffected after the 'death' of the Shinigami who owned it.\n\nCase I: Let's suppose that if the Shinigami who owned a Death Note 'dies', the\nShinigami who owned the Death Note previously, again becomes it's owner. In\nthis case Ryuk becomes the owner of the Death Note, not Sidoh, as it was Ryuk\nwho owned the Death Note before Rem. So in this case, Kal Snyder can see Ryuk,\nnot Sidoh.\n\nCase II: Let's suppose that if the Shinigami who owned a Death Note 'dies',\nthe Death Note is no longer owned by a Shinigami. So, there is no Shinigami\nassociated with the Death Note from the point when Rem 'died' to the point\nwhen Sidoh snatched the Death Note away from Mello. So in this case, Kal\nSnyder could only see Sidoh when he snatched away the Death Note from Mello\nand threw it at him. Not at any point before that.\n\nBy considering either of the above two cases to be true, we conclude that\nthough the Death Note originally belonged to Sidoh, he was not currently it's\nowner.

They are alternatively called\n> Bruits Rays, Fruits Rays, or Green-spectrum Radiations (in the English\n> manga). When a Saiyan absorbs at least 17,000,000 zenos (ゼノ Zeno, unit used\n> to measure waves of full celestial light) through the retina,[1] a reaction\n> occurs in the tail that causes the Saiyans to transform into ruthless Great\n> Apes. If a moon is not present, the Saiyan, if he/she knows how to use it,\n> can also create an artificial moon to allow themselves to absorb the\n> necessary amount of Blutz Waves needed for them to go Great Ape to\n> compensate.](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Blutz_Waves)\n\nNote that this concept of B.Waves existed in the manga, of DBZ in the saiyan\narc. It was explored a bit heavier in GT and the term **Blutz Wave** was only\nused in GT but the concept was introduced as early as Dragon Ball but\nunexplored.\n\nIn Dragon Ball Z Gohan and Goku both had adverse reactions to seeing the\nattack ball( _the ship Goku came to earth on_ ) in the first arc against\nRaditz. Goku mentioned it felt familiar and Gohan flat out cried on site.\n\nThe attack balls used a similar form of the technology to produce artifical\nmoons to trigger the reaction in combat. This is elaborated on further here:\n\n> [Spaceships used by those under King Cold, Cooler and Frieza for\n> interstellar travel. When the Saiyans were a part of the military, these\n> vehicles also sent low-class Saiyans to distant locations, so that they\n> would one day conquer and destroy worlds throughout the\n> galaxy.](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Attack_Ball)\n\nIn short the moon simulator was kind of a last ditch defense given that the\nsaiyans they send around flying at Faster than light speed for between 1-3\nyears are kept in suspended animation. If they were to be attacked immediately\nafter exiting their ship they may have a hard time defending themselves.\n\nThe saiyans were also known for sending infants to conquer planets,the moon\nsimulator for the transformation helps to aid that.\n\n**In summation**\n\nThe concept has been around since the original DB and is cannon the concept\nbeing that **moon light from a full moon makes saiyans transform** , the term\n**blutz wave** came out of GT and is not cannon but it extends the concept\nwith a term and definition. The story of why the ships had simulation engines\nto product moonlight/blutz waves is cannon and given that it comes with\ndifferent details from Vegeta and Bardock. Bardock being a movie character but\nconfirmed as cannon.\n\nThough with super out and more saiyans on the scene.

This is pretty obvious in Shinji's\ncase:\n\n * Episode 1, Unit-01 moving by itself to protect Shinji, something Ritsuko immediately notes should have been impossible\n * Episode 16, While trapped in the Sea of Dirac, Shinji manages to (whether he realizes completely or not) make contact with his mother right before the Eva goes bonkers and breaks out of the Angel\n * Episode 21, Flashback: Yui, while at Gehirn, takes part in a contact experiment with a then partly constructed portion of an Eva and disappears inside it.\n * At the end of End of Evangelion, Unit-01 is floating out into space as Yui talks about the loneliness of existing forever.\n\nAmong other little hints here and there. In Kyoko's case, Asuka's mother is\nless explicit but we see the same sort of things:\n\n * Episode 22, Flashback: Kyoko undergoes a similar Contact Experiment as Yui, she doesn't get absorbed but's clearly crazy and commits suicide\n * Near the beginning of End of Evangelion, Asuka is in Eva Unit-02 at the bottom of the lake, has a similar little discovery as Shinji from Episode 16, except this time Asuka is well aware that her mother was in the Eva\n\nToji and Rei: they're not so explicit. Rei is a special case because she's in\nsome sense an Angel. With Toji, there's some possible indications that his\nmother, who has been dead since at least the beginning of the TV series, had\nsome connection. The entire class had family that worked for Nerv.\n\nOther than any sort of in-universe explanation, the idea of the mother-child\nbond actually came from Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, the author of the original\nEvangelion Manga. From the Deluxe version of \"Der Mond\" a Sadamoto artbook\nthat contains a lot of Evangelion related work, [there's an\ninterview](https://wiki.evageeks.org/Statements_by_Evangelion_Staff#Yoshiyuki_Sadamoto:_Interview_with_Yoshiyuki_Sadamoto_.28Der_Mond.29):\n\n> When the very first meeting was held before the title had even been decided,\n> Anno had already provided the theme of \"a battle between gods and humans\".\n> Both Anno and I -- our generation -- was influenced by Go Nagai, so making\n> something on a grand scale meant it ended up like \"Devilman\". The character\n> design request from Anno was that \"the lead character is a girl, and has an\n> older-sister type figure like Coach next to her,\" so it was structurally\n> similar to \"Gunbuster\". So I first designed an Asuka-type girl as the lead\n> character, but after \"Gunbuster\" and \"Nadia\" I felt some resistance to\n> making the lead character a girl again. I mean a robot should be piloted by\n> a trained person, and if that person just happens to be a girl then that is\n> fine, but I couldn't see why a young girl would pilot a robot... So I\n> remember saying to Anno, \"It's a robot story, so let's make the lead\n> character a boy.\" And just about that time, I was watching the NHK [public\n> TV channel] program \"Brain and Heart\" and learned about the existence of the\n> A10 nerve, and I told Anno about the idea that popped into my head at that\n> time. That was the idea where \" **the dead mother is inside the robot, which\n> is operated by mental/psychical bonding with the child. Moreover, parent-\n> child relations are parched/strained due to the death of the mother at a\n> young age.** \" As soon as I had this idea I was filled with confidence that\n> \"This will work!\" and I just whipped out a setting drawing.

Kaguya initially attained massive amounts of\nchakra/energy due to being a member of the [Otsutsuki\nClan](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/%C5%8Ctsutsuki_Clan), and that energy\nexponentially grew larger after she consumed the Chakra Fruit.

But, Hamura left Earth to live on the moon to keep guard\non Kaguya, and the older brother Hagoromo stayed on Earth, and then had two\nkids, Indra and Asura, who also inherited part of their parents energy. They\nthen grew up and became able-bodied adults who could use Hagoromo's power of\nNinshu, _not Ninjutsu_ , as Hagoromo said. While Indra retained and focused\nthe power to himself, and used it destructively, Asura, however, used it to\nhelp people, thus forming the earliest concept of Yin and Yang. They were\nbeings wielding enormous power and when they died, their chakra/power were\ntransformed into their reincarnates, and like how opposite poles attract, so\nwere the reincarnates drawn towards each other.\n\nIt is also evident that Hagoromo could transcned his consciousness over time,\nas he did with Naruto and Sasuke. It was just that his chakra wasn't being\ntransformed and remained as a silhouette over generations.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-02-01T11:48:59.897", "id": "44493", "last_activity_date": "2021-05-01T12:43:44.170", "last_edit_date": "2021-05-01T12:43:44.170", "last_editor_user_id": "59761", "owner_user_id": "37644", "parent_id": "42804", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 }, { "body": "\n\nThere isn't really a well defined answer, but there are a few key plot points\nthat provide hints.\n\nFirst and foremost, Hagoromo himself. He is dead, and yet can still manifest\nin the living world and even give chakra out. He is half Ootsutsuki who have\nmany mysterious powers, so its not all that crazy.\n\nSecond, Indra and Ashura are Hagoromo's kids, so them inheriting mysterious\npowers is a given. If Hagoromo can do it, they probably have some ability to\ndo so as well. Hagoromo though has the Rinnegan which controls life and death,\nso him having more or less complete control compared to them would also make\nsense.\n\nThird, Obito, who had a dimensional shifting power and could use chakra, which\nin his own words \"connects the two worlds\" to return back and even give chakra\nto someone. If that sounds familiar, its because its exactly what Hagoromo\ndid. He however had dimensional shifting powers, which explains how he would\nbe better than Ashura and Indra.\n\nFourth, the Rinnegan being able to revive people, and the Edo tensei being\nable to pseudo revive someone, as well as Chiyo's sacrifice to revive Gaara\nshows Obito's point about chakra connecting the world of living and world of\ndead is correct.\n\nSo, Ashura and Indra have not only some of the mysterious powers of Hagoromo,\nbut they also have an incredible hatred of each other due to what happened\nthanks to Hagoromo. They fought, probably to the death that day. Indra\nbelieved power, and was defeated by his younger, and he believed weaker,\nbrother. its a great insult to his pride. Power is wrong, he is wrong, and the\nweaker one beat him not only by inheriting Hagoromo's legacy, but then in\nbattle.

Shounen lacks as\nhell since deppends only on manga, making harder to get any triple-A title to\nanimate.\n\n* * *\n\nedit: About \"people usually care more about waifus in this genres of\nanimation\" \nI know was pretty vague but...\n\n<http://goboiano.com/heres-money-actually-made-anime/> \nMain profit for animation studios will rarely be from ads, but from\nmerchandise and barely, from dvd sales.\n\nThe main selling point for merchan will always be Cute/erotic wich is mainly\ngreat for long-term selling \n(\"rad\" image is kinda dead in Japan, Mecha is a good example).\n<http://www.1999.co.jp/ranking/week/101>\n\nMain selling point in DVD's are uncensored releases/moeblob \n<http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2015-05-27/anime-studios-success-\ncalculated-based-on-10-years-of-disc-sales/.88558>\n\nTo resume, Japanese consumer will always prefer \"moe\" and \"eroi\" which is my\npoint \"as long as is cute will be a success\". \nFor animation studios is safer to attempt what is mainstream and easier to\nwork with. And \"Cute\" is the main trend nowadays, plus the issue from above\n(lack of triple-A shounen).\n\nYou can check 5ch most popular boards as well (former 2chan). And a\nrecommendation that you could check as example would be Mahoujin\nGuruGuru(2017). Great animation, but not going well(financial wise) due\ncharacter design.

Their take off and massive surge in popularity both\nin the east and west could have sparked an anime boom in getting action manga\n(and just action ideas) to production; however this is just conjecture without\nsources to back this up.\n\nIt would be interesting to know if this was a trend followed when Dragonball\nfirst went to anime too.\n\nJust in general though, we've seen a large increase in the amount of anime\nbeing released. When the most popular (and safest bet) action anime stems from\nthe adaptations of shows from Shonen Jump and other shonen manga, who only\nhave space for a certain number of different manga in their magazines, then it\nwould follow that an increase in total manga should see a decrease in the\npercentage these manga adaptations take up.\n\nIf I get time I'll also look into whether I can find any stats on take-up of\nanime outside of the \"teenage boy\" demographic, and look to the success of the\nnon-action genre releases (such as the stand out hits that came from the Slice\nof Life genre).\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2017-10-18T08:14:25.670", "id": "42879", "last_activity_date": "2017-10-18T08:23:41.363", "last_edit_date": "2017-10-18T08:23:41.363", "last_editor_user_id": "32196", "owner_user_id": "32196", "parent_id": "42856", "post_type": "answer", "score": 9 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nThe answer to this question would be a yes and a no.\n\n* Firstly, it has to be noted that all gods of destruction are equally strong. In the anime, it was stated by Vados that Beerus is stronger than Champa and right before the tournament, Whis stated Vermouth might be stronger than Beerus although Beerus said that he only lost a wrestling match.\n* Even in the manga, when we see the exhibition match square off, we see Beerus being able to fight off multiple gods of destruction at the same time and he along with Quitella were the last 2 standing(It has to also be noted here that in the manga, Quitella is the fighter who defeated Beerus in the arm wrestling match). Vermouth also didn't seem that injured at the end of the fight.\n* According to the official description release on Jiren, it states that he is at the level of a god of destruction. In the anime, while Jiren was effortlessly pushing off the spirit bomb, it was stated by Whis that Jiren is as strong as a God of destruction or possibly even stronger than his. So by this, we can conclude that Jiren is >= Vermouth, definitely not way stronger but it is indeed possible he is stronger.\n* At the same time, there do exist multiple gods of destruction and Jiren might not be stronger than the strongest god of destruction across the multiverse.\n\nSo I think the best way to represent Jiren's power is to state that it is at\nthe level of a god of destruction. Just like we see Champa hold his own\nagainst Beerus despite Beerus being stronger, Jiren would easily be able to\nhold his own even against the stronger God of destruction across the\nmultiverse.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2017-11-07T15:11:00.480", "id": "43201", "last_activity_date": "2017-11-07T15:11:00.480", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "42885", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 }, { "body": "\n\nAs seen in ep. 109 and 110, his power just terrified even Beerus the God of\nDestruction and Goku after that Ultra Instinct form was not able to defeat\nhim.

[ { "body": "\n\nWell firstly, you have made a couple of incorrect assumptions which need to be\nclarified.\n\n 1. The reason you see all the Gods shocked and surprised once goku uses ultra instinct is because this a technique which even a god can't master perfectly and this was mastered a mere mortal. We have seen this inferiority complex shown by the gods towards the mortals multiiple times whenever they are astonished with a mortal's strength. We even see Sidra and Belmod shocked when goku turns SSJB. This is because of the mortal having the powers of a god.\n\n 2. Beerus is stronger than Champa both in the anime and in the manga. This was stated explicitely by Vados. That doesn't imply Champa is weak by any means. Also the fight between Beerus and Champa wasn't really an actual fight between 2 gods of destructions. Neither of them were utilising any of their skills and it was more or less like 2 angry kids throwing a fit and punching each other.\n\n 3. In the manga, Beerus is indicated to be a lot stronger than most of the god's of destructions(Including those of the high mortal ranking universes). So In the manga at least we could conclude Beerus is among the top 3 or at least, top 5 strongest gods of destructions across the multiverse.\n\n 4. As far as the anime goes, Gene not taking part in the intial match doesn't necessarily for a fact indicate that he is the strongest. It might be for a number of reasons. Perhaps, he knew the grand priest would have them fix up the damages or perhaps the match would be very destructive and not be concluded or maybe there was another god among those 3 who was the strongest of the 4 and he knew that he would end up winning.\n\n 5. You do bring up an interesting point about the gods of the higher mortal ranking universes not seeming as nervous compared to the gods of the one's taking part in the tournament. However, like you said , it could possibly be because they aren't taking part in the tournament of power or maybe they have mastered the technique already.\n\nWhat we do know for a fact is Jiren is as at the least as strong as Beerus or\npossibly even stronger.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2017-10-22T04:42:25.290", "id": "42925", "last_activity_date": "2017-10-22T04:42:25.290", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "42906", "post_type": "answer", "score": 3 } ]
