"body": "\n\nThis question could seem as an opinion based question, but let me try to\nexplain why I think it is not. In Dragon Ball, Goku was supposed to be\ncompletely pure-hearted to be able to ride the Flying Nimbus, to the point he\nneeded to have no bad intentions at all, otherwise he couldn't stand in the\ntop of it, he had to be a sort of Super Saiyan Jesus. At some point in the\nDragon Ball series, Vegeta emphasizes this by saying Goku never dared to kill\nsomeone (because of this).\n\nBut at some point after that, Goku indeed kills someone, that is kid Bu. With\nPiccolo before, someone could argue he didn't actually finished him because he\nimmediately reincarnated or so, but this isn't the case of kid Buu. And now,\nin Dragon Ball Super, Goku is doing something different to what he always did.\nWhen someone threatened the Earth or the universe, no matter how strong he\nwas, he at least tried to defeat him. But with the case of Zeno, he didn't\neven try. Someone could argue Zeno is so powerful that he knew he couldn't\ndefeat him, but is Zeno that powerful? He isn't almighty because several Zenos\nwere created by Trunks and Zamasu when messing with time, Zeno isn't\nunbelievably strong because he can't follow Dyspo's moves. At some point I\nthought this \"destroying all universes\" thing was a fake, but now the manga\nhas shown that\n\n> indeed Zeno destroys all universes permanently and the great priest doesn't\n> care, he only acknowledges Zeno whims.\n\nWhy Goku didn't even try to defeat Zeno by training and merging with Vegeta or\nwhatever, and he doesn't care much about all the universes which are being\ndestroyed every time he defeats them? Is Goku still pure-hearted?\n\n",

"body": "\n\nWell as far as at the end of DBZ, we can concluded that all of the saiyans\nincluding Vegeta are pure hearted. This is because one of the condition of the\nSuper Saiyan God transformation was that 5 pure hearted Saiyans needed to come\ntogether and since the transformation worked, it can be concluded all of them\nare pure hearted post Z.\n\nSecondly, The Omni king isn't powerful in terms of raw power. What makes him\nterrifying is his position and the ability to erase anything from existence.\nEven the angels and the grand priest and of course the gods, the strongest\nbeings of the universe bow down before him so what makes you think Vegito blue\ncould stand up to him.\n\nGoku on the other hand has no evil in him. The only reason for him wanting the\ntournament is his addiction to battle and at the same time his rather naive\nand careless nature could be considered at fault for the tournament of power.\n\nHowever, it was implied that goku did actually do the other universes a\nfavour(Although he didn't intend to) as Zeno was about to erase the rest of\nthe universes with a lower mortal ranking.\n\n",

Brook just acts like most people when reproducing and via the Yomi Yomi no\nMi fruits powers, somehow it all just works. The sound waves in his chest\nbounce off _something_ , his urine is aimed by _something_ so it seems\nprobable that if he just went through the motions, (whether or not his wife\ncould feel anything) then his non-existent organs would also operate normally.\n\n2\\. This is to cover all bases, and explain why it would be _possible_ ,\nalthough admittedly not _practical_ if he was unable to become aroused or\nphysically respond down there. Because Brook has other liquids, it is fair to\nsay that he does have sperm and we know that if nothing is happening,\neventually Brook would have a wet dream. I would like to refer to [this\narticle about frog underpants](https://nypost.com/2017/06/10/scientists-\nlearned-how-babies-are-made-by-dressing-frogs-in-pants/) that was placed on\nthe frog in a very early experiment to learn about the basics of reproduction\nwhere they placed specially made underpants on the male frog, placed him with\na female, waited for them to mate and then collected the frogs sperm and\nanalysed it. Well in theory, brook could wear a similar apparatus to collect\nand preserve his own sperm, which could later be used by his wife to produce a\nchild.\n\nPlus there is always adoption\n\n",

However, in my opinion, this only serves comedy. None of\nhis \"normal human being\" traits had any impact on the story. I highly doubt it\nwould be possible for him to father children, because that would mean an\nimpact on story (even if it is just the aftermath of the manga).\n\n...

"body": "\n\nThe answer to this is more complicated than it seems. Because the answer is\nyes and no at the same time. Due to proper guidance they were able to achieve\nhigher forms easier but they simply \"unlocked\" it they didn't master it. As\nshown in episode 114 Goku has mastered the movements and can withstand 2\nsaiyans on his own in a lower form if he wants. They are able to have a higher\npower output but in terms of effieciency they lack a lot.\n\nUnlocking the Saiyan state(s) require strong emotions and pushing yourself to\nthe utter limit. Kyabe's anger unlocked ssj1, his desire to show his master\naround on his planet in his universe unlocked ssj2. Due to the high stress\nlevels caused by the punishment for losing the tournament their emotions are\naffected majorily resulting in an easier way to unlock states if used\nproperly.\n\nThe girls had similar experiences, one desire strength and power while the\nother desires to protect her sister and to fight beside her.\n\nGoku unlocked his states when he was pushed to his limits with the desire of\nbecoming stronger. Gohan had the desire for justice and Vegeta the desire as\nhis duty as the Saiyan prince and ofcourse his jealousy towards Kakarot.\n\nBut I only want to emphasize on the difference between unlocking a new saiyan\nstate AND mastering a new saiyan state. SSJ2 has more raw power than SSJ1. A\nmastered SSJ1 is stronger than SSJ2 due to knowing the limits and how to use\nhis body with the stamina output etc.\n\nI hope this answers your question. Feel free to comment if you would like to\nknow more.\n\nPS: if I dive into it I can provide all episodes to back up my statements but\nthat would require a lot time. If you wish I can provide a list of episodes\nbut I don't think it is needed for this question.\n\n",

Or to put it simply, Boruto brings joy to him.\nThe context of the scene is crucial.\n\nNext, the Otsutsuki brothers do not reincarnate. Indra reincarnated to fulfill\nhis mission of a perfect world, under his reign. Ashura reincarnated to stop\nIndra and save him from the blindness, with his love. Hagaromo entrusted\nAshura with Ninshu, thereby clearing all his goals. Whereas Hamura entrusted\nhis will to his clan. Both had no reasons to be reincarnated.\n\n* * *\n\nHere's a much more detailed answer from\n[Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Boruto/comments/6hvnw1/boruto_is_mitsukis_sun_to_his_moon/)\n(credits to @Wondercricket):\n\n> In Naruto Gaiden: The Road Illuminated by the Full Moon we get to see a bit\n> more of Mitsuki's backstory and how he is related to Orochimaru, as well as\n> how he is different from Orochimaru. Orochimaru runs the same test on\n> Mitsuki several times, wiping his memory each time it fails. The test\n> revolves around Mitsuki gaining 2 options, if he chooses either, he fails.\n> He only succeeds upon finding a 3rd option for himself.\n>\n> When he does this, he is rewarded with information about Boruto. Whom he, at\n> that time, decides that Boruto is his \"sun\". His \"light\" in the darkness\n> that will shine a bright future for him if he is to follow him. Hence, he\n> holds respect for Boruto as well as hope.\n\n",

So, I can only give\nyou my assumptions.\n\nI'm actually quite sure that there is or will never be a romantic vibe between\nTatara and Shizuku. As _Prasanth_ has already said, Tatara probably never held\nany romantic feelings for her, but rather admiration and respect.\n\nMoreover, the main heroine actually is Chinatsu and not Shizuku as many might\nhave assumed while watching the first half of the anime. Chinatsu appears in\nthe second half and henceforth always stays in the foreground with Tatara as\nhis main dance partner (Shizuku and Mako were only temporary ones). She simply\ndidn't show up at the very beginning of the story. That's why I'm very\nconfident to say that the romance tag refers to the relationship between\nTatara and Chinatsu.\n\nThe story focuses mainly on the character development of and the relationship\nbtw. these two protagonists. _\"After a difficult start because of their\ncompletely different personalities and background, Chinatsu and Tatara slowly\nfind themselves on the same wavelength and steadily grow together as dance\npartners and reach new heights.\"_ That's probably a suitable synopsis of their\nrelationship.\n\nBtw., there has been quite a few hints in the anime that this relationship is\nslowly progressing in a romantic way. So, if you want to ship Tatara with\nShizuku, then you'll most likely be disappointed (Shizuku's romantic\nrelationship also probably revolves around her main dance partner Kiyoharu).\n\nI personally am more than satisfied with the relationship btw. our two\nprotagonists and I really want to encourage you not to give up watching this\nanime only because you initially shipped Tatara with Shizuku. I'm quite sure\nthat you will change your mind as the story progresses.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nWell the answer would be no.\n\nIn the anime, the SSJR transformation was indicated to be an alternate version\nof the SSJB which was used by Goku Black.\n\nHowever, in the manga it was indicated that the change in color was because\nZamasu was a deity. As of now the only 2 Saiyans who have mastered the Super\nSaiyan god transformation would be Goku and Vegeta(Trunks has a rage\ntransformation).\n\nSSJB is the transformation when a mortal surpasses the god transformation\nwhich is why they have a blue aura. When a deity does the same, he has a pink\naura which is SSJR.\n\nNow to be a kaioshin, you need to be born naturally divine. They are a\nseparate race called Shinjin and all Supreme Kai's come from there which is\nwhy you see a resemblence between the supreme Kai's across the multiverse.\n\nAs for the gods of destruction, you notice that every universe has a god of\ndestruction who looks completely different and obviously don't come from the\nsame race. So I think the sole determining factor for god of destruction is\nmainly own strength and obviously possessing God ki.\n\nThe Super Saiyan god and blue transformation already make both Goku and Vegeta\ndeities, hence them becoming a god of destruction would have nothing to do\nwith them having the ability to turn into Super Saiyan Rose.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThe simple answer to your question would be **yes**. \n \nSuper Saiyan Rosé as is said in the [Dragon Ball\nWikia](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Saiyan_Ros%C3%A9), is the Super\nSaiyan Blue form of a true deity having his Super Saiyan 1 form exceed the\npower of a God.\n\nWhat led me to believe this is this statement by Future Zamasu:\n\n> \"So this is what happens when a Divine being surpasses Super Saiyan God,\n> instead of turning blue they turn pink.\"\n\nAlso, considering the fact that a Kaioshin's apprentice is the successor to a\nKaioshin, we can say that if Trunks would have become the next Kaioshin, he\nwould have been able to access this form, given that he has achieved Super\nSaiyan God or has exceeded it's power with his Super Saiyan 1 form.\n\nTalking about Goku and Vegeta, if either of them would have become a God of\nDestruction, having transformed into a real deity, they would have been able\nto access this form and the Blue counterpart would have ceased to exist.\n\nAgain, these statements of mine can be backed up from the\n[wikia](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Saiyan_Ros%C3%A9):\n\n> Future Zamasu gives a possible explanation of the form's color being due to\n> a Saiyan possessing proper god status when they surpass Super Saiyan God,\n> implying that it is likely that Goku, Vegeta, Vegito, or any mortal Saiyan\n> Beyond God, could have obtained this form instead of Super Saiyan Blue had\n> they held the position of a God such as Guardian (a position which Kami had\n> once offered to Goku) or God of Destruction (as Whis considers them both to\n> be candidates to replace Beerus, if he were to die) when they surpassed\n> Super Saiyan God.\n\n* * *\n\nTo discuss a bit on the comments posted on [Gary\nAndrews30](https://anime.stackexchange.com/users/31104/gary-andrews30)'s\nanswer,\n\n 1. Even though it was in a game, there are cases of non-Shinjin becoming Supreme Kais. An example being, _Majin Ratopa_ being a **former** Supreme Kai in _Dragon Ball Fusions_. \nThis can be verified in the wikia\n[here](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Supreme_Kai_\\(position\\)).\n\n 2. There would be a lot of difference in either of the aforementioned saiyans using Super Saiyan Blue or Super Saiyan Rosé. I'd like to back up this statement of mine using a few excerpts from the [wikia](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Saiyan_Ros%C3%A9).\n\n> This form, like its blue counterpart, provides Black with precise ki\n> control, needed to properly use the form. Unlike its Super Saiyan Blue\n> counterpart, the ki control of Super Saiyan Rosé is so precise and\n> efficient, again due to Black's status as a true god, that this allowed him\n> to create various weapons of energy at will. Unlike Super Saiyan Blue, which\n> needed additional training to fully master it, this form does not display\n> any sort of stamina decrease.\n\n",

Because of this reason Nobita's great-great-grandson\nwas getting very less pocket money. If Nobita's great-great-grandson was rich\nthen he did not required to have send Doraemon back into the past to Nobita.\nThat means Nobita's great-great-grandson would have not been funding much to\nDoraemon. That cut out this funding possibility.\n\n**2\\. Through money making gadgets.**\n\nDoraemon possesses quite a few money making gadgets like rice cake maker, time\ncloth, multiplying bank and so on. Since he is from the future, he knows how\nto use these gadgets to support himself. Also, he has the ‘Devil’s Passport’\nwhich is the ‘Ultimate Credit Card’ as you can use it to get anything for\nfree, absolutely. But sometimes Doraemon also runs out of money as these\ngadgets does not provide a lot of money, as if they did **Sewashi (Nobita's\ngreat-great-grandson)** would have not send Doraemon on the first place.\n\nSo, I think point number 2 is the answer to your question.\n\n**Note :** Name of characters has been referred from this link\n<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Doraemon_characters>\n\n",

"body": "\n\nWhile it was never explicitly stated (to my knowledge) why they discounted the\npossibility of a 3rd Kira, I can come up with some educated guesses.\n\nFirst, there was no evidence of a 3rd person acting as Kira while the first\ntwo were active.\n\nRemember that the investigation started by looking into a single Kira. The\nsecond Kira was discovered when Misa sent the video broadcasts as a way to\ncontact the first Kira. It was also further cemented that the second Kira was\ndifferent from the first in the way they acted. The second acted more\nrecklessly (with less well thought out and deliberate actions), killed people\nthat the original Kira would not have and was also shown to be able to kill\nwithout a name. The only way they found out there was a second Kira is because\nthe evidence showed there were two people independently acting as Kira at the\nsame time.\n\nThe \"3rd Kira\" (Higuchi) acted in the same way as the first Kira. This was\nintentional. Light wanted to use this to alleviate suspicion that he was Kira.\nBy having Higuchi act the same way, there was no reason to believe that he\nwasn't the original Kira. Meaning that when Higuchi was caught, Light should\nbe (theoretically) cleared.\n\nSecond, L already had a plethora of evidence that implicated Light as Kira. As\nfar as L was concerned, Light was Kira. He just needed a few more details (how\nLight was killing people, for instance) before he could arrest Light.\n\nThen Light comes up with the prison scheme. L is immediately suspicious. Light\nwas trying hard, almost too hard, to prove his innocence. And L obviously\ncouldn't take any evidence Light offered at face value. So even while Light\nwas in prison, L was working on the assumption that Light was Kira. And when\nLight's personality underwent a drastic change when he gave up the notebook,\nit threw a wrench in L's theory. Light when from a calm denial of being Kira\nto having a fanatical, emotional denial. This evidence contradicted the Light-\nis-Kira theory.\n\nL is now stuck between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, everything\npoints to Light being Kira. On the other, Light's behavior along with the\ncontinued killings seemed to exonerate Light. And since the behavior change\ncoincided nicely with the killings resuming, the idea of the power transfer\nwas born. And given that theory, why investigate a 3rd Kira that may not exist\n(and of which there was little if any evidence of)?\n\nThird, let's play devil's advocate and assume L considered that there was a\nthird Kira. How did this person get in contact with the first two Kiras? As\nfar as the task force knew, there would be no special way for one Kira to find\nanother (as evidenced by the second Kira needing to send the broadcasts to\nlocate the original). Also, how did they communicate and coordinate with Light\nand Misa? Light and Misa had been under surveillance for quite a while. Surely\nsomething would have come up that would have raised a few eyebrows, especially\ngiven the nature of Misa's messages when trying to find Light? Additionally,\nif there was a third Kira, why did he show up now? Why would he just resume\nwhat Kira was doing without making any changes? (Remember that the connection\nbetween Kira (Higuchi) and the Yotsuba group hadn't been discovered yet.)\nEvery person is different (especially in their values, thinking and\nreasoning), so there should be at least some subtle differences between two\nKiras. And none of that showed up (yet).\n\nGiven all of this, there was no reason to assume a third Kira existed.\nInvestigating every anomaly by assuming it was a separate person would have\nled L on a hundred wild goose chases. L was the best detective in the world.\nHis experience and knowledge would tell him that something else was going on.\nGiven that he knew Light and how smart Light was, he could very easily presume\nthat every inconsistency could be Light's doing. And until proven otherwise,\nthat's what L did. You don't throw out everything you know to be true because\nthe accused offers an (unverified) piece of evidence of their innocence. And\ngiven the mystic powers of Kira, anything was possible, and equally difficult\nto verify as being impossible.\n\n",

However it did not have any particular sexual\nconnotations in this context. Hentai's sexual reference was to come not\nthrough its connection with hentai shinri but through its juxtaposition with\nanother, related term, hentai seiyoku or 'abnormal sexual desires'.\n\nThe technical term seiyoku or 'sexual desire' was introduced into Japanese via\nGerman sexology which began to be translated by medical doctors such as the\narmy physician and novelist Mori Ōgai from the middle of the Meiji period.The\nnotion of hentai seiyoku or perverse or abnormal sexual desire was popularised\nvia the translation of German sexologist Krafft-Ebing's text Psychopathia\nSexualis which was given the Japanese title Hentai seiyoku shinrigaku [The\npsychology of perverse sexual desires].\n\n",

It's not entirely clear why this mother-child bond is\nrequired in the show, although we do know the idea [came from Sadamoto, the\noriginal\nmangaka](https://wiki.evageeks.org/Statements_by_Evangelion_Staff#Yoshiyuki_Sadamoto:_Interview_with_Yoshiyuki_Sadamoto_.28Der_Mond.29).\nWe also know it's somewhat an important functional requirement, until Gendo\n(and eventually Seele) managed to get the [Dummy\nPlugs](https://wiki.evageeks.org/Dummy_Plug) to work (e.g. Unit-03, Mass\nProduced Evangelion series from End of Evangelion).\n\nAs far as the \"meaning of the [A.T.\nField](https://wiki.evageeks.org/A.T._Field)\", there's a good bit of\nspeculation on how that all works. The first hint is from Kaworu during the\nend of episode 24 where he does a rather cryptic infodump on the mechanics of\nEvangelion, souls, and A.T. Fields:\n\n[code]\n\n Kaworu: Eva is made of the same body as me.\n Because I'm also born of Adam.\n When the unit doesn't have a soul, I can unite with it.\n The soul of Unit 02 is shutting itself up now.\n \n Shinji: AT Field!\n \n Kaworu: Yes, you Lilims call it that.\n The holy region that must not be invaded by anyone.\n The light of the soul.\n You Lilims are aware of that.\n Aware that the AT Field is the wall of the soul that everyone\n has.\n \n[/code]\n\nSo A.T. Fields are generated by a \"soul\" (again, probably not something that\nis literal), and a \"soul\" is inside every Evangelion, and in this case,\nspecifically Unit-02, Asuka's Evangelion. I you also recall, Unit-02 was\npreviously unresponsive after the immense psychic attack from Arael which\naffected both Asuka and the Evangelion (e.g. her mom). This made it possible\nfor Kaworu to take control of Unit-02 during episode 24 and why he says that\nthe soul has \"shut itself up\". Asuka has come to the realization that:\n\n 1. Her mom has been in the Evangelion this whole time\n 2. Her mom issues were all for naught because her mom has been with her this whole time, she wasn't alone afterall\n 3. That her mom was using her soul to create Unit-02's A.T. Field which was protecting Asuka \n\nAt that point, Asuka goes into kick-ass mode with/because of her new\nunderstanding; a renewed bond with her mother/Eva's soul, a new understanding\nof what the A.T. Field really is and probably an enhanced control of how to\nuse it (as evidenced by her fight with the Mass Produced Evangelions)\n\n",

"body": "\n\nAs mentioned in the MAL post itself, that graph was actually made by a\nYouTuber by the name of Super Eyepatch Wolf. He uses it specifically in a\nvideo where he goes in depth as to why Bleach had such a massive fall in\npopularity:\n\n> [The Fall of BLEACH: How it Happened](https://youtu.be/ACq7tgjHdGA)\n\nI highly recommend watching the video, but I will give a summary of the main\npoints brought up in the video.\n\nOne of Wolf's points is in regards to the author (Tite Kubo) of Bleach's\ndrawing ability and it's deterioration in quality due to the difficulties of\nbeing a manga author. The start of Bleach really showcased Kubo's talent in\ndrawing which really brought people into the the world of Bleach. However, the\nfatigue from the grueling schedule and the like had caused the drawing quality\nto suffer. This fatigue and frustration was also in part to relationship\nissues with his editor.\n\nAnother point was that Kubo's Story was not really cut out for the long term.\nHe pointed out that several of the characters started out strong but was never\nreally developed. Some even regressed. For one, the main character starts off\nas this interesting character but regresses to a less expressive reactive type\ncharacter - compared to Naruto and One Piece where they are proactively going\nafter their well-established goals. Also, at one point, the story stops\nshifting constantly (going from a typical monster of the week to the\nintroduction of the Soul Society arc which tapped into teenager's feelings as\nthe became a part of the foreign adult world to the amazing Aizen arc) and\nstarted recycling several of its previous tropes. This leads to the main\nproblem of nothing really changes as pretty much after each arc everything\ngets a factory reset. The backlash from the fans and editorial department when\nthese problems began to show really pushed it down in rankings, leading to its\nrushed three chapters to end it before it got canceled.\n\nIn essence: Drawing and Drafting (drawing panels/ panel structure) quality\ndiminished, the extremely difficult schedule of a mangaka and issues with his\neditor wore him down, and his story plot quality lost what gave it its wide\nappeal in the first place especially since it was not written for the long\nterm.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nCell was supposed to be the perfect being in terms of abilities and power. At\nthe time he was the strongest villian. The god of destruction and the universe\nhierachy was introduced in DBS with Zen, Beerus, Whis etc. So therefor it is\npretty difficult to tell if Cell would've had a chance against Beerus; a god\nof destruction.\n\nIt was said in DBS that Zamasu killed ALL the gods of destruction in the\nfuture timeline. Cell was defeated by Saiyans, from which they are in DBS\nstill weaker than a god of destruction. Keep in mind that during DBZ they were\nsignificantly weaker (apart from Gohan since he was still training a lot), but\nhe was never close to the strength of Goku; not to mention Beerus. Beerus was\ndefeated by Zamasu in the future timeline which means that cell is weaker than\nBeerus and therefor weaker than Zamasu.\n\nZamasu being beaten by someone means that that certain someone is stronger\nthan all that Zamasu was able to beat (going by logic). But we know from\nexperience between son and father; Vegeta and future Trunks, that future\nTrunks is still way too weak for that level of strength.\n\nFrom what I recall during the arc of Zamasu, Trunks didn't beat him. He simply\nsurvived a brawl so now and then. As shown in the battles against Goku and\nVegeta compared to that with Trunks he was never serious towards Trunks, so\nTrunks never really beat him. If he did he wouldn't go through so much\nsacrifices and trouble in order to get Goku and Vegeta.\n\nFor all I remember, Zamasu was so far the most powerful villian. Goku had to\ncall Zen-Oh in order for Zamasu to be eradicated. Hence the reason why there\nare 2 Zen-Oh's in the current timeline.\n\nSo all in short, Zamasu was only ever defeated and properly beaten by Zamasu.\nTherefor it is unknown how \"actually\" powerful DBS future Trunks is compared\nto DBZ Gohan from Cell-saga. Due to major differences in plots and storyline\nit is also hard to guess. There is lack of information about Trunk's full\nstrength in effect in DBS.\n\nDont quote me on this, but I'd call DBS future Trunks stronger than DBZ Gohan\nif it was based on opinion. Let me explain why. First of all, age difference\nessentially means difference in experience for combat. Trunks has been\nfighting for several years in the timeline where there is no Goku meaning he\nhad a lot more time to train. Gohan was still young in DBZ and therefor lacked\nthe years of experience Trunks has. As for Saiyan states during cell-saga\nGohan attained ssj2. His ultimate saiyan form is basically ssj2 with more\npower at the cost of speed. So as for saiyans both are equally strong. But due\nto experience I'd say that Trunks would win. As shown in the most recent dbs\nepisode (114), Goku ssj1 was able to withstand ssj2 due to his fighting\nexperiences and Trunks is no fool while gohan still was at that age, that's\nwhy my vote goes to Trunks.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nWell, your question isn't very accurate. At the end of the cell saga, SSJ2\nTeen Gohan was a lot stronger than future trunks. Also, it is fair to assume\nthat by the end of the Buu saga in Dragon Ball Z, Gohan was superior to future\nTrunks. We know this because Future Trunk's mention's how he turned SSJ2 to\nfight off Dabura while Gohan's Mystic form had made him a lot stronger.\n\nNow with respect to Dragon Ball Super. Future Trunks had mastered SSJ2 and he\nwas strong enough to push back Goku SSJ2, however, 1 hit from SSJ3 Goku was\nenough to knock him out. Gohan, on the other hand, had slacked off on training\nand was a lot weaker. Future Trunks was stronger than Gohan even then, we can\nconfirm this based on an event which happens later which I will mention.\nTrunks SSJ Rage transformation is an extremely powerful transformation which\nputs him even above SSJ3 Goku but not as strong as SSJB Goku. It's a\ntransformation which would more or less make him even stronger than Super\nSaiyan God because he was able to hold off Black who was making sport of 2\nSuper Saiyan Blues. Also, he was able to hold his own against Merged\nZamasu(Despite the spirit sword, he still did manage to hold his own).\n\nNow before the tournament of power, we see Gohan train with Picollo. We see\nPicollo being stronger than SSJ2 Gohan at that time. So it is fair to assume\nTrunks was easily superior to Gohan at the time he arrived. After Gohan\nregained his Mystic form and trained further, you could say even he crossed\nthe Super Saiyan God level but isn't as strong as Super Saiyan Blue Goku or\nVegeta.\n\nThis leaves us with a question as to whether current Mystic Gohan or Future\nTrunks SSJ Rage is stronger. Without a doubt, it would be Future Trunks' SSJ\nRage. However, we haven't seen Gohan fight at full power. I'm pretty sure once\nwe see him fight someone strong in the tournament of power, we can clearly\ndetermine whether he surpassed Trunk's in terms of power or not.\n\n",

When Trunks became\nSuper Saiyan Rage, Yajirobe states that he might be equal to Black's Super\nSaiyan Rosé, which by the time was beating badly Goku and Vegeta's Super\nSaiyan Blue. Later Vegeta trains and Goku and Vegeta get zenkai boosts so they\nget able to overpass Black's Super Saiyan Rose, so their versions of SSB get\nstronger than Super Saiyan Rosé (which is equal or stronger than Super Saiyan\nRage).

"body": "\n\nMy suggestion would be to look if there is source material. While I am not\n100% sure, I think all the anime you list in the first list are based off the\nmanga.\n\nThis process would involve a lot of wild speculation as such it may or may not\nbe accurate and as such would only be served to guide.\n\nTo start using _No Game No Life_ as an example, look on\n[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Game_No_Life) to see what it's\nfirst media form was, in this case\n\n> No Game No Life (Japanese: ノーゲーム・ノーライフ Hepburn: Nōgēmu Nōraifu) is a light\n> novel series by Yū Kamiya.\n\nas such it's very likely it would be following the Light Novels. Next, in the\ninfobox on the right, look for the _\"Original run\"_. If it's officially\nfinished, it would have listed an end date. In this case, the Light Novel has\n\n> April 25, 2012 – present\n\nHowever, if possible, see also if you can find another source. [Baka Updates\nManga](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=101992) has info on the\nLight Novel and under _\"Status in Country of Origin\"_ it says\n\n> 9 Volumes (Ongoing) + 1 Gaiden\n\n**Conclusion:** _No Game No Life_ 's anime will not be the end of the series\nas its source material is still ongoing.\n\n* * *\n\nHowever, what happens if the source material is complete? Or you want to know\nif the anime is up to date with the source material? Well, this is simply\nlooking up to the Anime airing dates to the source material's release dates.\nWhile not accurate, since anime takes time to produce and the source material\ncould be coming out while it's being developed, it can help you see how much\nof the story isn't going to be told.\n\nUsing _No Game No Life_ as an example, we see the anime's run-time was\n\n> April 9, 2014 – June 25, 2014\n\nlooking at the list of [Light Novel\nVolumes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Game_No_Life#Volume_list) we see\nthat Volume 6 came out April 25, 2014, the only volume to come out in 2014.\nSince it also came out after the anime started airing, we can assume that\nthere won't be any content of Volume 6 in it.\n\nBut can we narrow this down expecting 5 volumes of the light novel? Yes we\ncan. For _No Game No Life_ , Wikipedia has information on [the\nanime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Game_No_Life#Anime_adaptation)\n\n> On July 27, 2013, Monthly Comic Alive announced the anime adaptation for No\n> Game No Life was green lit. It is directed by Atsuko Ishizuka and animated\n> by Madhouse. The series premiered on April 9, 2014 on AT-X;\n\ngoing back to our volume list for the Light Novel, it seems we can rule out\nVolume 5 as it was released after the announcement of the anime, so now we\nhave 4 volumes.\n\n**Conclusion:** _No Game No Life_ 's anime at most should cover 4 out of 9\nvolumes that have been released to date.\n\nKeep in mind however that the story content might be less, or it might deviate\nfrom the source material (e.g. the 2003 series of _Full Metal Alchemist_ and\nfillers in long running anime)\n\n* * *\n\nAnother title you mention in your question is _Steins;Gate_. It's a bit more\ncomplicated because its source material is a Visual Novel with multiple\nendings and routes. These tend to be a bit more complicated as sometimes an\nAnime inspired from a Visual Novel with multiple endings will only adapt one.\n\nThere are other times the source Visual Novel (or game) is linear, like _Tears\nto Tiara_ and _Utawarerumono_. But if there are multiple games, it will only\nadapt one game, i.e. currently the _Tears to Tiara_ anime only adapts the\nfirst game (particularly the PS3 release) and not the second game while there\nare multiple _Utawarerumono_ anime as there are _Utawarerumono_ games (some of\nthe later games I think were inspired by the more recent anime. However, I'm\nnot 100% sure)\n\nHowever, sometimes this is made easy like with _Fate/Stay Night_ with each\nroute having been named and the more recently anime being named the same, such\nas _Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works_ by Ufotable. We can assume it\nfollows the Unlimited Blade Works route of the game while the upcoming\n_Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel_ movies, also by Ufotable, will follow the\nHeaven's Feel Route. While this won't tell you which ending they may choose,\nknowing that there are 3 routes in _Fate/Stay Night_ , you can get a rough\nguess that each of these is really just 1/3 of the whole story you have in the\ngame.\n\n* * *\n\nThe above however only works if your anime is based off a source material like\na Light Novel, Manga or Game and can still be inaccurate without knowing the\ncontent of the source martial and the anime.\n\nYou can, however, ask a question here. For instance, [I asked if _Spice and\nWolf_ followed the manga](https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/5495/1587) and\nlearned that it actually follows the Light Novel and it adapts 1,2,3 and 5,\nskipping Volume 4.\n\nfor original anime like _Code Geass_ , you can assume that it has finished.\nHowever, there are times where you can ask a question if it does continue but\nnot asking when it'll come out. For _Code Geass_ , while there was no _R3_\nmanga, there was _Jet Black Renya_ and _Akito of the Exiled_ manga which,\nwhile not _R3_ , did expand on the _Code Geass_ Universe.\n\n* * *\n\nIn the end, this comes down to doing research on the release, airing and\nannouncement dates, and making assumptions based on these and asking here if\nyou want a definite answer on things like how loyal an anime follows its\nsource material, exactly where it adapts to and which are filler content.\n\n",

Almost all anime articles on Japanese Wikipedia has テレビアニメ (TV anime,\nif it's media-mix) section and its 各話リスト (List of episodes). _Sometimes, it\nalso includes the original source cover on that table_.\n\nFor example:\n\n * [_No Game No Life_](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%8E%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B2%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A0%E3%83%BB%E3%83%8E%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%95#.E5.90.84.E8.A9.B1.E3.83.AA.E3.82.B9.E3.83.88): on the last column (使用原作), it shows that the last volume of the original source (Light Novel) is **Volume 3**. However, since the LN goes beyond Volume 3, it concludes that the anime doesn't cover the whole story.\n\n * [_Ao no Exorcist_](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%9D%92%E3%81%AE%E7%A5%93%E9%AD%94%E5%B8%AB_\\(%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1\\)#.E5.90.84.E8.A9.B1.E3.83.AA.E3.82.B9.E3.83.88): on the second-to-last column (原作), it shows that the last volume of the original source (Manga) is **Volume 9** (including some anime original story). However, since the manga goes beyond Volume 9, it concludes that the anime doesn't cover the whole story.\n\nBut again, this is just another alternative, since it doesn't always have this\ninformation (e.g. [_Made in\nAbyss_](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%89%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%82%A2%E3%83%93%E3%82%B9#.E5.90.84.E8.A9.B1.E3.83.AA.E3.82.B9.E3.83.88)\nand [_Gakusen Toshi\nAsterisk_](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%AD%A6%E6%88%A6%E9%83%BD%E5%B8%82%E3%82%A2%E3%82%B9%E3%82%BF%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AF#.E5.90.84.E8.A9.B1.E3.83.AA.E3.82.B9.E3.83.88))\n\n* * *\n\nAlso, apparently **MyAnimeList** itself sometimes has this information on\ntheir **Background** section:\n\n * [_No Game No Life_](https://myanimelist.net/anime/19815/No_Game_No_Life):\n\n> _No Game No Life_ adapts the first three volumes of Yuu Kamiya's light novel\n> series of the same title.\n\n * [_Ao no Exorcist_](https://myanimelist.net/anime/9919/Ao_no_Exorcist):\n\n> Due to the fact that the source material is on-going, the anime adaption of\n> _Ao no Exorcist_ diverges from it at key points, leading to an anime-\n> exclusive ending.\n\n * [_Gakusen Toshi Asterisk_ (1st season)](https://myanimelist.net/anime/30544/Gakusen_Toshi_Asterisk):\n\n> It adapts the first three volumes of its light novel source material.\n\nAlthough it doesn't mention the latest volume, at least it gives some clues\nthat can be completed by researching about the current volume.\n\nAlso, it can also be used to make an assumption, such as \"the 1st season of\n_Gakusen Toshi Asterisk_ adapts the first 3 volumes, the 2nd season might\nadapt the next 3 volumes\" (might be true or not, but if the current volume\nalready went far enough, then the anime will _probably_ not finish)\n\n* * *\n\nHowever, of course this only applies to animes that have finished airing\nunless there's already an official statement beforehand. For on-going series,\nit would be more difficult to guess if the anime will cover the whole story or\nnot.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nWith the exception of some aspects in _fire bending_. All bending abilities in\navatar work under the premise of manipulating the {%insert element here} that\nalready exists.\n\nAn example of this is in the water benders drawing moisture from the air, or\nbetter yet, the way _blood bending_ was explained. It is said to be possible\nbecause a persons blood contains water (the bender cannot simply create water\nfrom nothing).\n\nThis is also why water benders like to carry around waterskins. In earth\nbending it is less obvious since there is earth everywhere, but there are a\nnumber of episodes where they are stranded somewhere away from their element\nand become somewhat handicapped.\n\nWhether the ground becomes unstable after earth bending would be entirely up\nto the bender themselves, although I would say there is such a thing as \"best\nbending practices\" where they would learn to use the existing earth in a way\nthat doesn't deteriorate the structure.\n\nIt does not have to create a mirrored empty space like the image of a puzzle\nyou are imagining, but if the bender wanted to they certainly could! Instead\nthey would perhaps use a smaller depth of the earth spread out across a larger\nspace along the caves wall/floors to create their new earth wall.\n\nThis would result in the existing space in the cave expanding, its just\nunnoticeable because of how spread out it was. The point is that there are\nsoooooo many earth bending styles shown that although we can confirm that they\n**must** use existing earth, we can not confirm _how_ any potential bender\nwould use it because everyone bends a little differently! The large wall would\nindeed require to be made out of existing earth, however as a nation-wide\nproject I would say that it is fairly self explanatory that they would have\ncollected earth from a place that would not make the entire ground unstable.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/UAlcF.png)\n\nEdit for linkable reference:\n\nThe [Prison Rig](http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Prison_rig) is a perfect example\nof this. The fire nation constructed this prison to hold earth benders and the\nreason it works is because **it is made entirely out of metal and is miles\naway from any rock or earth so the earth benders have nothing to control**.\nThus, it is canon that earth benders must use the existing earth to\ncontrol/manipulate. The way they escape this prison [Book 1, Episode\n6](http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Imprisoned) also confirms this point. The\nentire reason the last fight I am showing in the picture below was dramatic is\nbecause the earth benders had just the small amount of stolen coal to use in\ntheir fight.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Jl5QG.jpg)\n\n_side note: avatar is no anime :P_\n\n",

{
"body": "\n\nThe reason to that is because Minato knows that \"Uchiha Madara\"\n\n> (in quote as it was actually Tobi/Uchiha Obito)\n\nwill definitely pose danger, and Naruto would need extra power to fight\nMadara. Thus he planned to put the less dangerous part of Kyuubi (the Yin\npart) into Naruto using [Hakke no Fūin\nShiki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Eight_Trigrams_Sealing_Style) (Eight\nTrigrams Sealing) on Naruto because he wanted Naruto to slowly get accustomed\nto Kyuubi's power. This was done by deliberately designing so that the seal\nwould weaken overtime, so that slowly, bits of Kyuubi's power would leak and\nbe accessible by Naruto. Of course as a safeguard, he also gave the key to\nstrengthen the seal into the toad\n[Gerotora](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Gerotora) and left it with Jiraiya.\nOther than that he added an extra security measure by sealing part of his\nchakra into Naruto and make it so that it would activate if Naruto was about\nto turn into Kyuubi and re-seal the Kyuubi.\n\nAs noted by Killer B, the seal used on the Kyuubi was of greater quality, thus\nbetter sealing strength than [Tekkou\nFuuin](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Iron_Armour_Seal) used on the Hachibi. It\nis reasonable to say that Hakke no Fuuin Shiki was the strongest sealing\ntechnique that Minato knows that he can modify so that it weakens a long\nperiod of time.\n\nSo, the reason why Hakke no Fuuin Shiki was used with Naruto was clear. Now,\nto the meat of the question. **Why didn't Minato seal the other half of the\nKyuubi that he sealed into himself with the same seal and instead opted to\nuse[Shiki Fuujin](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Dead_Demon_Consuming_Seal)**.\n\nShiki Fuujin was a very strong sealing technique. It was thought to be\nunbreakable since the technique seals the life of the intended target and\ncaster into the Death God's belly. It was only after an extensive research by\nOrochimaru that he finally discovered the way to unseal it.\n\nMinato used Shiki Fuujin to seal the more evil, thus more dangerous part of\nKyuubi into himself using Shiki Fuujin was probably because he believed that\nno one can/would be able to discover how to unseal it. Since he was dying and\nthe Shiki Fuujin doesn't weaken over time, the seal was perfect to be used to\nseal the Kyuubi, making sure that the Yang part of Kyuubi would never shows up\non the world ever again.\n\nAs can be seen with [Nohara Rin](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rin_Nohara)'s\ncase, if a Jinchuuriki was killed, the\n[Bijuu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Tailed_Beast) would also die and would be\nrevived at a random location after a while. This is also consistent with the\nfact that Akatsuki would only weaken and not kill the Jinchuuriki before\nextracting the Bijuu.\n\nIf Minato used Eight Trigrams sealing to seal the Kyuubi into himself, as\nsealing the whole Kyuubi into Naruto was not possible since Naruto was an\ninfant, the sealed half of Kyuubi would return to the world after Minato's\ndeath, which is should be avoided, as that half would likely to target Naruto\nto get the other half back. That Yang half would also be in danger of being\nhunted by other ninja villages and the Akatsuki. That is why Minato opted to\nuse Shiki Fuujin, so that it would be sealed permanently.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI see there have been pretty good answers for the same however, I would like\nto differ and say No. This would be my explanation for the same.\n\n* Jiren is at the level of a God of destruction. His power could possibly even surpass a few Gods of destructions(Like Vermouth, Beerus etc). \n* The two times we've seen Jiren fight as of now is against Goku and Hit where he didn't even go all out and didn't even show any signs of tiredness or him being exhausted after these 2 fights. \n* Firstly, we need to note that the mafuba way can be deflected and since you're referring to dragon ball super, I'm gonna refer to Frost who easily deflects Roshi's mafuba the second time.\n* It was noted by Vados that Jiren is a fighter who never lets his guard down. This is seen when he dodges UI Goku's kick which Toppo and someone as fast as Dyspo didn't even see coming. Also when hit attacked him once he knocked out goku, we see Jiren immediately react and block it. Jiren's reaction time is near to perfect. \n* Jiren was able to fight UI Goku when every part of Goku's body was acting on his own. Even at the same time, Jiren wasn't even fighting at full strength and seemed pretty heavily suppressed.\n* Even during Hit, unlike goku who took a while to adapt to time skip. Jiren didn't take a single hit from time skip even from the start he was able to keep his guard and block and strike Hit. Once he adapted, he was perfect. Even when Hit created a shadow clone and tried to attack Jiren, we see Jiren immediately react and block it. Even when Hit used an attack which binds Jiren in a cage of time which completely inhibits movement, we see him effortlessly break out of it and block hit's attack with just his eyes.\n* He effortlessly controlled and pushed back a spirit bomb from SSJB + Kaioken *20 goku with just his eyes.\n* We also see Jiren effortlessly block hit's invisible shockwave, which is known for killing fighters with a single hit.\n \n\nEvery attack has its limitations and I strongly believe the mafuba wouldn't be\neffective against someone as strong as a god of destruction. As of now we know\nthe mafuba is strong enough to contain SSJB Vegeta. However, Jiren's power is\nway beyond Vegeta's. Based on his display of power in his fights with Goku and\nHit , I believe it can be concluded with certainty that this technique\nwouldn't work against someone like Jiren. \n\nOne of 3 possibilities might happen:\n\n 1. The wave might not be strong enough to contain Jiren's power\n 2. Jiren might deflect the wave\n 3. Jiren would end up dodging it\n\n",

In terms of power, it pretty much is identical to the SSJ transformation because in the earlier stage of the battle, SSJ2 Caulfifla did appear to be stronger and Kale was also intimidated by the SSJ3 transformation.\n* The second transformation would be The Legendary Super Saiyan transformation: The reason I'm not mentioning the Berserker state is because, it is an uncontrolled version of the fully mastered Legendary Super Saiayan. The Bereseker state only resulted in a tremendous power increase but Kale was not able to control it and once she did it evolved into this transformation. This transformation is significantly stronger than an SSJ2 regular transformation. This is because we see her going toe to toe with SSJG Goku and SSJ2 Caulifla on ther hand was completely outclassed by SSJG Goku.\n \n\nNote: The names aren't officially confirmed apart from Super Saiyan Berserker\nwhich seemed to be an uncontrolled state of LSSJ. Since Broly isn't Cannon, we\ncan not conclude with certainty. However, the 2 kinds of transformations and\nthe information mentioned above with regard to the power and kind of\ntransformation and the number of transformations Kale has is indeed accurate.\n\n",

{
"body": "\n\nWell this question is something which cannot be answered definitely as the\nactual answer completely relies on the authors.\n\n* First combination(Potara fused characters do a potara fusion after) : It was stated by the Old Kai in the manga that the potara earring cannot be used more than once. In other words, 2 fused characters cannot fuse with potara fusion. This is because, one fused character such as Vegito cannot take off a potara earring as both the characters would both need 2 have 1 potara earring on.\n \n\n* Second combination(Potara fusion followed by fusion dance/Fusion dance followed by potara fusion/ Fusion dance followed by another fusion dance): Although dragon ball GT is not canon, It was indicated that even the fusion dance can only sustain a fusion powerful to a certain extent because we see SSJ4 Gogeta defuse before the time limit. We know for a fact that the potara fusion is a lot more powerful and with 2 potara fused characters (Match their power level's and fuse), the power would be enormous and they wouldn't be able to sustain the fusion. The only other option would be a bunch of weak characters first doing the potara fusion and then followed with the fusion dance. So lets say a very weak race(Humans), do the potaro fusion, for instance krillin, tien, yamcha and roshi. In the Buu saga, Base goku and base vegeta were no where as strong as Super buu Yet alone buu han. Yet we see base vegito completely owning him. So even if these 4 humans do a potara fusion followed by the fusion dance, the probability of the fusion of their fused character lasting would be very low and they would very likely immediately split back to their potara fused characters. We see goku willing to fuse with Hercule before his fight with Buuhan(Before Vegeta showed up). So goku did believe that even fusion with hercule would've made him stronger to an extent. So that leaves us with the possibility of someone as weak as Hercule and say his students doing the same. They would be able to attain the potara fusions but wouldn't have the necessary skills to perform the fusion dance. \n \nThis would apply in case of all the 3 other possibilities listed in the second\ncombination. This answer would be making an assumption such that fused\ncharacters can fuse. However, let us consider another possibility. In the\nSaiyan Saga, once Goku arrives to fight Vegeta and Nappa, we see him split a\nsenzu bean and give half of it to Krillin and the other half to Gohan. We\nnotice that this doesn't completely heal their energy. So let's say the\neffects of the Senzu bean were cut down to 50%? So what if Goku ate 2\nsuccessive senzu beans, instead of 1 when he's out of stamina. His body is not\ngoing to create an additional energy source after the energy from the first\nSenzu bean is depleted. So in other words, one could say a body is capable of\nonly adapting to 1 fusion and another fusion wouldn't be possible?\n\n",

They might not be\nfriends that hang out together, laugh and have a normal conversation but they\nsee each other as source of motivation to help better themselves and become\nstronger, that makes them more ambitious.\n\nIt might look as though Vegeta hates Goku but in reality, it's just his\npersonality and the way he is which also brings a comedic aspect to the show.\nVegeta has a very cocky and arrogant personality and also him being the Saiyan\nprince is responsible for the same. He considers his race to be superior to\nall other beings and he's the kind of guy who likes to assert his dominance\nover all other beings by using his power. Goku on the other hand, trains\npurely out of love for combat and doesn't share the same motivations as Vegeta\nwhich is one big difference between their personalities.\n\nVegeta always had a mutual respect for Goku but I recommend you watch the\nfight between Kid Buu and Goku where Vegeta acknowledges Goku's superiority\nand has a new found respect for him. Even in Dragon Ball Super, it might\nappear as though Vegeta doesn't like Goku but if Goku's life were at risk,\nVegeta would step in and help him. This is seen when he catches Goku after\nBeerus knocked him out. Also when Freiza was about to kill him, Vegeta steps\nin. Even during the tournament of power, we see Vegeta step in to help Goku\nwhile he was being attacked by Universe 9.\n\nIn simple words, Vegeta is jealous of Goku's strength. He has admitted this a\ncouple of times, although his arrogance and massive ego doesn't want him to\naccept him being weaker than another saiyan which is why we see him display\nsome form of anger when he sees Goku and not cause he hates him.\n\n",

I believe Caulifla and Cabba are the counterparts of Goku and\nVegeta in Universe 6, however with opposite personalities. Cabba like Vegeta\nis gifted, however not as gifted as Caulifla and needs to work a lot harder\nbut at the same time has Goku's personality. Caulifla on the other hand, is\nlike Goku who is a lot gifted and doesn't need to work as hard to get stronger\nand she has Vegeta's cocky and arrogant personality.\n\nIn other words, what I believe is that Caulifla good quite possibly be the\nfighter across the multiverse with the highest potential. That doesn't imply\nshe has infinite power. Vegeta stated Gohan was the fighter with the highest\nlatent ability he's come across. By that he implies gohan's potential exceeds\nhis and Goku's. So if Gohan were to train as much as his father and Vegeta,\nhe'd end up becoming a lot more stronger faster.\n\nIn other words, what Caulifla has is infinite potential, not infinite power.\nHence the harder she trains, she could end up becoming stronger at a very\nrapid rate(Maybe even faster than golden freiza and Gohan).\n\n",

If Gotei 13 is\ngovermental authority, How can they exterminate Quincy if they act on behalf\nof Soul King? I know Soul King doesn't directly control Soul Society. And I\nbelieve what Gotei 13 has done was unjust. Therefore, I conclude that Gotei 13\nis not ultimate source of justice.

"body": "\n\nThe [Gotei 13](https://bleach.fandom.com/wiki/Soul_Society) is a military\norganization in the Soul Society, together with the Kidō Corps and\nOnmitsukidō. They are not a [private military\norganization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_military_company), which\nis not loyal to one government, since they are loyal to the Soul Society.\n\n**If Gotei 13 is governmental authority, how can they exterminate Quincy if\nthey act on behalf of Soul King?** I don't quite understand why acting on\nbehalf of the Soul King should have not made the Quincy extermination possible\nin the first place. From the [wiki](https://bleach.fandom.com/wiki/Soul_King):\n\n> The Soul King is not involved in governing Soul Society, having given the\n> full control of its government to the Central 46 and thus being uninvolved\n> with the day-to-day affairs of Soul Society.\n\nHe is, however, seen as a king since he has probably the most important job of\nall. To quote again from the wiki:\n\n> The Soul King's sole purpose is to regulate the flow of souls into and out\n> of Soul Society and keep the flow stable. Without the Soul King, the balance\n> is lost and everything that is linked to Soul Society or made in it, as well\n> as the Dangai, Hueco Mundo and the Human World will fall apart.\n\nThe Gotei 13 was forced to exterminate Quincies since they were making the\ncycle of souls unstable.\n\n**I also believe what Gotei 13 has done was unjust. Therefore, Gotei 13 is not\nthe ultimate source of justice.** Yes, it was not morally right. Were they\nfair? Probably not. But both sides are at fault; the Quincies, for not\nlistening to the Shinigami that they endanger the balance and the cycle of\nsouls and the Shinigami, for only seeing themselves as the ones who should\nonly have the job of handling souls and hollows and not compromising with the\nQuincies so they can work together.\n\nHowever, the Shinigami still did their job to maintain the flow of souls with\nthis.\n\n**Therefore, every soul can do whatever it wants in Human World, Soul Society,\nor Hueco Mundo without disobeying anything since authoritative figure doesn't\nexist among souls.** With this, you just denied the existence of the Soul\nKing, the Central 46, the Royal Guard, the Gotei 13 and every other\nauthoritative figure in _Bleach_. Unless these organizations cease to exist,\nevery actions done by souls against the law would have a consequence.\n\nThat the Gotei 13 committed acts which, to you, is unjust does not mean they\nare not authoritative, or that other branches in the Soul Society government\nshould be branded as the same.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n**Tl;DR** Zoro's Third sword serves a critical and crucial purpose in his\nability to use the \"Three Swords Style\" which is exponentially more powerful.\nThe synergy between the multiple swords is what makes his sword style more\ncomplete and usable in an effective form. The difference lies in \"between\nusing (just) three swords and _three sword style_ \".\n\n**Detailed:** For us to understand the use/purpose of Zoro's Three Swords\nyou've to assume that One Piece exists in a separate universe and our\nunderstanding of things are not the same. This simple assumption allows us to\nremove a bias when trying to explain \"Fantasy Universe Physics\"\n\nFrom a young age Zoro has been shown to be shown possessing unnatural\nstrength, capable of besting opponents far beyond his age. He used Two Swords\nbecause he assumed, two were better than one. However, being bested in a\nthousand duels to Kuina made him rethink. Post her death he decided to use her\nsword (Wado ichimonji) as one of his primary weapons, just to fulfill both\ntheir dreams of being the strongest swordsmen. To this purpose he trained his\nmouth and neck to extreme lengths to attain the strength, accuracy and\nflexibility required to use the sword.\n\nNow since no one else has been shown to use Santoryuu in OP universe, I think\nwe can safely assume Zoro invented and developed the style and its techniques\nwhile growing up. This chapter front page shows how his juniors are trying to\nimitate and learn his style in his old Dojo Source: [Chapter 807: Cover\npage](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Chapter_807) \n![Zoro's Old Dojo\\[1\\]](https://i.stack.imgur.com/j95Wyl.png)\n\nNow, what makes this viable his Zoro's effort and training to develop a\ncomprehensive \"Three Swords Style\" aka Santoryuu. He is not using just Three\nswords, he is using the \"synergy\" between the three swords to gain more power\nand use techniques which are impossible to use with one or two swords. This\nwas explained early on by Zoro himself in his battle against the NyanNyan\nbrothers.\n\nWe've seen numerous instances of this throughout One Piece. Zoro talking about\nhis (in)ability to fight with one sword against Nyan Brothers, his surprise\nwhen Mihawk blocks his attack or him mastering new moves. (Pound Cannon, Asura\netc.)\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/jPOof.png)\n\n",

I dont buy this idea for 3 reasons:\n\n * If Goku really said \"I'm going to use a little more power\" (some subtitles translates it as \"I'm going to use more power\" without the \"little\", if Goku really said so, he could be refering to him not using kaioken on top of blue. By using Super Saiyan Blue in full power, Goku is still using 5% or 10% of his power (he can use super saiyan blue kaioken x10 or x20 where he increases 10 times or 20 times his power from Blue)\n\n * Vegeta mentioned Kale is \"a monster\". Why would he call a monster someone who isnt as strong or stronger than him.\n\n * Jiren didnt bother to fight Goku or Vegeta super saiyan blue, but he bothered to take Kale as a challenge, this actually is a hint than Kale showed more power than Goku and Vegeta at the time, who already fought in Super Saiyan Blue. And by the way, Hit was also around and Jiren didnt bother to fight him, and we know Hit's power is around a Super Saiyan Blue. \n\nHaving said all that, later Kale in her controlled stated wasnt able to hurt\nGoku in super saiyan god, though she could handle an energy blast from Goku in\nsuper saiyan god (something Caulifla in SSJ2 couldnt do) . This to me shows\nKale's power in her controlled stated is close to a super saiyan god, or at\nleast stronger than a SSJ2, but not equal or stronger than super saiyan god.\n\nThen my question is, are there reasons or arguments to believe Kale can use\nher full power when she isnt in berserker mode?\n\n",

"body": "\n\nYou made a lot of incorrect assumpitons\n\n* Firstly, You need to note that All of Goku's fights until his fight with Jiren was him just goofing off. He was not fighting anyone seriously. Also you are right about him holding back and he did hold back a significant amount when he hit Kale with the Kamehameha. If goku had gone all power, then he would've used Kaioken which he didn't.\n* Secondly, a monster doesn't imply the other person is stronger. You might perhaps me referring to this based on Freiza's reference to Jiren as a monster. It was just because of her rather vicious nature and aggressive behavior firing ki blasts all around had Vegeta refer to her as a monster. Not because she was stronger than him \n* Jiren didn't fight Kale as a challenge. He did it to just stop the rampage she was on and you see her disturbing the entire tournament and she even knocked one of his teamate out. This is also seen when Universe 2 fire the hearts. Jiren was about to fire a beam attack at Ribrianne but Vegeta did it right before. Does this mean Jiren was interested in fighting Ribrianne? The only fighter Jiren has been interested to fight is Goku because we see him looking at him interested and approaches him for battle. Even hit attacked him and he responded.\n* Finally, Kale's controlled state is just as strong as she was in her Berserker state. Possibly even stronger because she gets to control her power this time. Also, Goku was fighting very seriously when she fought with Kale the second time around, which is why we see Kale trying a little harder. She wasn't injured after deflecting that Ki blast\n* Kale LSSJ mastered is just as strong as her using her berserker mode and it's very obvious she's stronger than SSJG and this is why. We see Jiren blocking punches from SSJG goku with a single finger and he had to try a little to block attacks from SSJB Goku. This indicates SSJB is significantly stronger than SSJG. Kefla in her base form was completely dominating SSJG Goku. SSJ2 is nothing compared to SSJ3 and SSJG is a much higher multiplier than SSJ3. Hence Caulifla's power isn't that high. Kale, on the other hand, must be exponentially stronger than SSJG Goku if base kefla is capable of fighting so easily with SSJG Goku. Also based on the title, SSJB Goku is not strong enough to beat Kefla. I think with that we can establish the fact that Kale LSSJ Is > SSJ Goku\n \n\nAlso, it has to be noted, that goku was just fooling around against Berserker\nKale. Unlike his current fight with Kale and Caulifla where he has been very\nserious.\n\n",

I looked up their history from around 2000-2005 and their connections\nto pinpoint a certain band that might've been used, but this provided no\nresults.\n\nAs the second we can at least say that this soundtrack is from a legitimate\npiece of music and not made on the fly in the studio. This is because of the\ninstruments used in the sample and the mixture of the instruments. This would\nbe too expensive for such a short sample and would be too much hassle for a\nstudio. There is a clear beat and the instruments dont conflict with each\nother; this indicates that the composer was aware of what he/she did; an\nexperienced composer. If anything I'd honestly love to listen to this piece\nmyself as well as it is a master piece based on what we were given to listen\nto during the episode.\n\nBased on the genre and the airing of the series I'd say that it is from the\nearly 90s. This is due to the big world wide hit on the genre Jazz at the\ntime. But it might've been some Japanese Jazz as well, which would date to\nLP's from as early as the 70s.\n\nMaybe with the information provided above someone might be able to pinpoint\nthe track or LP. I don't think it will be found on the internet as not all\nmusic from the 90s and earlier are online. There are still some hobby stores\naround that sell LP's. Perhaps someone there can identify the piece. All you\nneed to do is cut the first 10 seconds from the soundcloud track and then from\n22s to 26s. Boost up the volume and you will hear the instruments clearly. But\nif the original file has been tampered with and for example boosted in speed\nthen it is highly unlikely that even someone of that level will be able to\nidentify it.\n\n",

However, to answer the questions just\nbased on the information in the Narutoverse, we've to see what exactly do\nResurrection and Reincarnation means.\n\nThe translation of the Resurrection and Reincarnation techniques is quite\nsimilar in usage.\n\n> **The Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation** binds the soul of a deceased\n> person to a living vessel, restoring them as they were when they were alive\n> in order to do their summoner's bidding. [Naruto Pedia: Edo\n> Tensei](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Edo_Tensei)\n\nEdo Tensei is a summoning technique that summons a \"soul\" residing in the pure\nland. Thus the so called \"Resurrection\" is a reincarnation of a soul binded to\nthe impure land through its DNA marker and a sacrifice.\n\n> **Reincarnation** is a process through which the chakra and will of a\n> deceased individual are reborn in a new living vessel, referred to as a\n> \"reincarnate\".\n> [Narutopedia:Reincarnation](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Reincarnation)\n\nHence though the souls, i.e. the actual individuals would go to the pure land\nin the Narutoverse, their Chakras and Will would be \"inherited\" by individuals\nin the next generation. These individuals would hence be their \"reincarnate\".\nIn a single generation their can only be one Reincarante of an individual.\n\nIt is important to note, through the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation\ntechnique, both \"reincarnation\" and \"resurrection\" can be found; the\nsacrificed body is reincarnated into the body of the summoned shinobi, while\nthe reincarnated shinobi is resurrected from the dead.\n\n**Tl;Dr** In the Narutoverse, both techniques are independent of each other.\nThrough Edo Tensei souls residing in the pure land can be summoned,\nirrespective of the fact that their reincarnate exists in the current world.\n\n",

Not even Regan, Lenessia, or\n\n> Rudy.\n\n## Are there, in the _Log Horizon_ franchise, Landers which [discovered | were\ntold | figured out | whatever] about _Elder Tale_?\n\nDo some of them know the \"uncomfortable truth\"? I.e. that, _in the world where\nAdventurers come from_ :\n\n * \"Adventurers\" are not \"Adventurers\" at all, they don't have special powers, they just played a game in which they killed monsters for fun, sitting on a chair and clicking buttons on a machine\n * Theldesia is just the fictional setting of that game, where Landers are fictional, computer-controlled characters.\n\nIt would be interesting to see how they reacted to this shocking revelation.\n\n**Note 1** : I only watched the two seasons of the \" _Log Horizon_ \" anime. If\nthe answer would contain spoilers for additional material, please direct me to\nthat additional material (if it is available in English, since I don't speak\nJapanese).\n\n**Note 2** : just realize that \" _Adventures don't treat us like real people_\n\" is necessary but not sufficient for what I'm looking for. This because\nrealizing this is not so hard: in fact, before the [Catastrophe](http://log-\nhorizon.wikia.com/wiki/Catastrophe), _Adventurers did not look like real\npeople to the Landers as well_ (so probably the \"Welcome to the village of\nArb\" joke in season 1 episode 5 could be true also from the Landers' POV). I'm\nlooking for at least a Lander who knows something like \" _Adventures don't\ntreat us like real people because they used to see us as fictional characters\nin a game, the so-called heroes were just playing make-believe to escape\nboredom_ \". This is a completely different animal.\n\n**Note 3** : The fight between Papus and Elias Hackblade goes near to what I'm\nlooking for, but I still don't think that's what I'm looking for. Papus says\nto Elias that he (Elias) is fictional, Elias is horrified, but it's not clear\nif he's horrified by the revelation, by that ugly monster or by the magic the\nmonster he's casting on him. Anyway, Kanami treats Elias as real, but then the\nscene is cut and we don't know what happens next (at least in the anime).\nAccording to the wiki entry for [Papus](http://log-\nhorizon.wikia.com/wiki/Papus) (beware of spoilers!!!), he has a special power\nthat causes Landers to **_believe_** they are fictional. I don't care about\nwhat the Genius **_think_** about Landers, and I don't care if Landers\n**_are_** fictional or real people. I care if there are Landers who will\nbelieve what the Genius say, and if this will bring them to discover that\nAdventurers were just roleplayers, and how this will change their relationship\nwith Adventurers. (Note that Elias is a perfect example of Lander that did not\nreact or ask questions when Kanami and her friends used words like \"NPC\",\n\"playing\", \"game\", \"real life\", etc. No, I don't think he already knows the\ntruth about Elder Tale just because he's on the Elder Tale box).\n\n",

What I remember is that the Landers\n(People of the Land) have memory of times before the gamers got trapped in\ntheir world, and even before that. In their understanding, there was no pre-\nconscious \"NPC\" existence, just a continuum of life. They knew the Adventurers\nwere different, in that they didn't seem to die permanently. But as far as\nthey realize, they themselves have not changed.\n\nWhether that understanding is an actuality or not in unstated. It could be\nimplanted/programmed memories of the Landers. Another possibility is that the\nAdventurers had a limited understanding of the \"MMO\" world, as if they had\nonly been experiencing it in a sort of \"slide show\" or veiled fashion instead\nof the full world it had actually been.\n\n**::add::** A year after originally answering, it occurs to me that the most\nlikely possibility is that the game itself had been incapable of representing\nthe true agency of the \"NPC\"s. The complexity of modeling actual intelligence\nfor these in-game characters was simply beyond what could be programmed.\n\nIt is possible that the character whose name you ghosted now realizes that the\nAdventurers had not thought of his people as \"real\". I think it likely he has\ngreater insight due to his focus on becoming like them. But I don't remember\nthe anime series explicitly stating that anyone but the Adventurers now\nrealized they had previously existed as part of a game.\n\n",

He was only able to\ntrigger this mode whenever he felt a strong wave of emotion. In the manga\nseries he triggered his etherious mode after seeing (what I can presume as an\nillusion) of Lucy dying. The anime series hid this mode when future Lucy died\n(Episode 194-198.) He can also still use his Fire Dragon King Mode, but as he\nsaid in the manga, He will use the power given to him by Igneel. He was able\nto use his mode again without Igneel's power but the results weren't the same.\nAll in All, Yes he can still use both modes, but he needs to obtain that power\nto activate them by himself (half the way there; already can activate FDKM)\n\n",

She has perfect vision while activating\nthe Sharingan, while her vision is no better or worse\n\n> During her father's absence from the village while gathering information on\n> Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, she became ill with a high fever and afterwards, began\n> wearing glasses, which unknown to her were a gift from Karin. \n> [Sarada Uchiha: Narutopedia](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Sarada_Uchiha)\n\nSharingan enhances her vision, but only while activated and the normal vision\nis just like everyone else.\n\nHowever, the real reason is out-of-universe. It was **Design Aesthetic** ,\nplain and simple. Kishimoto felt like giving her glasses, so he gave them to\nher.\n\n> **Interviewer:** How is Sarada? [Or what about Sarada? T/N: In the context\n> of design.] \n> **Kishimoto:** Rather than cuteness, I wanted to project a slightly dark\n> but strong hearted sense to Sarada.

This may be a long explanation so\nif you go to the bottom, you can see my short-term answers.\n\n> Before Fushimi and Yata, joined HOMRA, it was their own small world; both\n> were really close and happy. Until they joined HOMRA. Yata started to have\n> his own world with other people, that it had lesser and lesser time with\n> Fushimi. Lesser and lesser until Yata wasn't Fushimi's light anymore. One\n> time, the blue king asked for a meeting with them; and one of the\n> representatives was Fushimi which Munakata took notice of. Though Munakata\n> did show that he wants Fushimi to work for him, Fushimi didn't agree just\n> yet, though he did ask if it is possible to change clans.\n\nIn the manga that I read, it was only until chapter 11, but feel free to check\nif it's been updated. The chapters 12 to 17 are just story strips. It ended\nwith Munakata telling the green king to pull back from attacking Fushimi.\n\nSo I have a few answers:\n\n 1. He betrayed HOMRA to get Yata's attention. (Cause of Yata)\n 2. He went to SCEPTER 4 because Munakata gave him a choice. (Cause of Munakata)\n 3. He went to SCEPTER 4 because he knows he can be of use to the society and doesn't want to end up like his father. (Cause of Nikki)\n 4. He went to SCEPTER 4 because he thinks that he belongs there, and is not fit to be called a Red Clansman. (Cause of Mikoto)\n\nThis is my opinion: He did it for him, SCEPTER 4's, HOMRA's, and for other\npeople's own good. If he stayed in HOMRA, nothing will progress for him. Yes,\nhe is a skilled fighter. But if his brain is put to waste I think he can feel\nhimself becoming like Nikki. So that helps himself, SCEPTER 4, and other\npeople. Now, what about HOMRA? What I like about him going to another group\nwas that he could be a bridge that can lead HOMRA and SCEPTER 4 to an\nalliance.\n\n",

One of the reasons Moriah was defeated was because of the pirates\nwhose shadows he stole.\n\n * **Zombie's Weakness** \\- Brook was able to discover the weakness of Moriah's Zombies because he was left on Thriller Bark\n * **Rebel Alliance** \\- The survivors on Thriller Bark banded together and plotted to bring down Moriah. They understood his powers as well as stole over hundred shadows. They used the shadows to power up Luffy.\n * **Handicap** \\- Due to a weakness to the sun, a Shadowless person would have a great handicap and once set adrift would not be able to search for Thriller Bark properly. However, due to extreme fog in the Florian Triangle, this weakness is negated somewhat. \n\n**Tl;Dr**. There is a greater chance of Pirates rebelling and stealing their\nshadows back if they stay on Thriller Bark, rather than if they're sent away\nbecause of their instinct of Self preservation. It is also in line with Gecko\nMoriah's nature to avoid conflict until necessary.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI'd say that it's not that they can't, but rather that there simply **isn't\nmuch incentive** for them to do so. It just doesn't make much business or\nfinancial sense to target a foreign audience, not when a Japanese audience is\nmuch closer, more familiar, and less costly to target.\n\nTo target foreign audiences, I would imagine that an animation studio would\nneed to expend a lot of additional time and effort on things like dealing with\noverseas licensors, TV networks, distributors, as well as having to handle\nlanguage barriers and translations (since I'd imagine that most people working\nin a Japanese animation studio wouldn't be fluent in English). Even for\ntypical anime, studios tend to avoid [hiring native speakers of foreign\nlanguages](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/41721/why-dont-anime-\nstudios-hire-native-english-speakers) if they need a voice for a character\nwith a foreign language, because it's generally much cheaper to hire someone\nborn in Japan. So, if even one foreign voice actor is too costly, then the\nentire production being in a foreign language would be out of the question.\n\nOkay, but what if we just let the studio produce everything in Japanese, a\nlanguage that the staff are all familiar with, and then let another company\nhandle the translations for the foreign audience? Well, if the original\nlanguage is in Japanese, they might as well just target it to Japan in the\nfirst place! The localization is probably best left to companies in the target\ncountry who natively know the language anyway (or else we might get something\nlike the Engrish in the Psycho Pass Movie). Also, as [Memor-X points\nout](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/43289/why-cant-anime-studios-\ncreate-animes-for-foreigns-audiences#comment58051_43289), Japanese studios for\nthe most part have little control over which English actors are used and how\nthe English localization and distribution are done.\n\n**That's not to say that anime targeted at foreign audiences have never\nhappened.** The barrier is just higher. As you and [Memor-X\nmention](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/43289/why-cant-anime-\nstudios-create-animes-for-foreigns-audiences#comment58044_43289), [Afro\nSamurai](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2005-05-03/samuel-l-\njackson-gets-animated-for-spike-tv-with-afro-samurai) was a production that\nhappened thanks to Samuel L. Jackson's interest and contribution. [Gagantous\nalso points out](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/43289/why-cant-\nanime-studios-create-animes-for-foreigns-audiences#comment58034_43289) that\nNetflix has financed a number of [original anime\nseries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_original_programs_distributed_by_Netflix#Anime)\nthat seem to be animated by Japanese studios, and like with other Netflix\noriginal series, are released worldwide all at once.\n\nSo, as these examples have shown, Japanese animation studios _are_ capable of\ncreating anime for foreign audiences. It's just that in most non-exceptional\ncases, they wouldn't have much reason to do so.\n\nNote that if the incentive is there (e.g. either personal interest or with\ninvestment from a foreign party, like with Samuel L. Jackson and _Samurai\nAfro_ ), it _is_ doable. After all, if there's a foreign producer already in\nthe loop, then the entrance barrier is much lower.\n\nWhile Japanese anime studios haven't really created any foreign-targeted anime\non their own, **they _have_ however been _involved_ in a number of foreign\nanimation productions.** So in a way, I suppose you could say that Japanese\nanimation studios _have_ (co-)created a number of _anime_ (for\n[some](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/6198/can-an-animated-show-\ncreated-outside-japan-be-called-anime)\n[definition](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/69/what-differentiates-\nanime-from-regular-cartoons) of anime) for foreign audiences. For example:\n\n * [Batman: The Animated Series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_The_Animated_Series#Animation) was produced by Warner Bros. Animation, but animated by various overseas animation studios, including the Japanese studios Spectrum Animation, Sunrise, Studio Junio, and TMS Entertainment (as well as various other studios from South Korea, Hong Kong, Spain, and Canada).\n * [The Animatrix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Animatrix), a compilation of nine animated short films based on _The Matrix_ trilogy, was produced by the Wachowskis, but a large number of the films were animated by Studio 4°C and Madhouse from Japan.\n * [Transformers Animated](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers:_Animated) (I watched this series growing up!) was produced by Cartoon Network Studios, but animated by the Japanese studios MOOK DLE, The Answer Studio, and Studio 4°C.\n * [Legend of Korra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Korra) had some parts of it animated by Studio Pierrot from Japan (as well as Studio Mir from Korea).\n * [Miraculous Ladybug](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miraculous:_Tales_of_Ladybug_%26_Cat_Noir#Production) is produced by French studios Zagtoon and Method Animation, in collaboration with De Agostini Editore from Italy, Toei Animation from Japan, and SAMG Animation from South Korea. Actually, it was originally going to be a 2D anime-style series (see [this trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlwV3scCgAM) for a taste of what could have been), but for design reasons, they switched to 3D CGI animation later on.\n * Also, [Toei Animation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toei_Animation#Commission_work) has actually been commissioned to provide animation for lots of American studios in the past.\n\nAs a final side note, I'd like to add that there _is_ precedent in other media\nwhere the producers mainly target domestic audiences over local audiences when\nthere's money to be had. For example, [Hollywood and\nChina](https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/jul/02/warcraft-film-china-\nblockbuster-hollywood-investment).\n\n",

"body": "\n\nMy answer to this would first have to be a question right back at you: Why\nwould they?\n\nReally, where is the incentive? Anime became world renown without doing any of\nthat, so why would they start now? I would argue that it's that style, bred by\ntheir foreign sensibilities and culture that made it so popular in the rest of\nworld to begin with.\n\nNow, the second thing is, you are wrong. No, they probably don't script\ndialogues in English, but that's a bit of a huge hurdle to put in their lap\nwhen they are already strapped for time on most projects.\n\nHowever, they definitely know of the Western/other audiences and take them\ninput things (it can be general themes, or jokes that clearly wouldn't be in\nthere if it wasn't for such audiences) related to that. The point being that\nthey are aware and influenced - in small or big ways depending on the project\n- by that part of their audience. The proof of that is that you have a few\nprojects that get slammed by Japanese fanbases for seemingly altering parts of\ntheir work to cater to western sensibilities. That is something more often\nseen in the video games industry, because Western influence is a lot more\ndirect and palpable (to the people making money from it) in that industry.\n\nThe third thing is, to follow up, that they still make most of their money, at\nleast initially, from the home market. Simulcast and other such appearances of\nanime in a more direct manner in the west are bound to make these influences\nmore numerous, whereas it used to be that the only thing Western audiences\nbrought was goodies/DVD sale's income.\n\nThe fourth and last thing is, in most cases, this isn't something that depends\non the animation studios at all. To this day, most anime that are actually\nmade come from manga (a rapidly growing number from light novels, and even\nmobile games, and some, completely original), a market that is even more\ncentralized to Japan. And the popularity(and therefore the likeliness for it\nto be made into an anime) of a manga is almost solely based on the\nreviews/scores people give to the magazine publishers, chapter by chapter.\n\nIt's not to say that Western influence isn't there though. A clear example\nwould be _Watamote_ , I encourage you to look into the popularization of this\nspecific manga/anime. How different the reception was in America and Japan.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n# **TL;DR: They don't.**\n\nFirst, let's take a look at the individuals and groups throughout the Dragon\nBall Universe that are capable of wreaking the levels of havok that you\ndescribe. I'll mostly be limiting this analysis to Universe 7 to start with.\n\n## **1\\. The Gods**\n\nThe Gods, consisting of the Angels, the Kais, and the Gods of Destruction,\namong a few others, are a powerful group of deities that preside over the 12\nUniverses and maintain balance. The Gods of Destruction are mostly responsible\nfor - you guessed it - destruction, so they cannot be expected to help defend\nmortals from various threats. Similarly, the Angels are merely the attendants\nof these gods, and do not directly take almost any actions beyond what their\nrespective god wishes of them. This dynamic can be clearly seen when [Beerus\nrefuses to take any action against Golden\nFreeza](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLKYwHlYTmg) when he arrives on Earth,\nand when he does not attempt to stop Goku Black when he invades the present\ntimeline.\n\nOn the other hand, the Kais are tasked with ensuring mortals are able to live\nin peace and advance themselves as much as possible. However, their approach\nto actually accomplishing this is quite hands off. They do not intervene in\nthe affairs of mortals directly in the majority of cases, preferring to simply\nobserve and allowing them to engage in as much destruction as they please.\nThey did not make any effort whatsoever to stop Freeza and his family from\ndominating the universe. However, they do occasionally provide their help in\ncases of extreme universal peril, such as the first and second appearances of\nMajin Buu in Universe 7, or Zamasu's rampage in Universe 7/10 (though the\nZamasu thing was sort of on them).\n\n## 2\\. Namekians\n\nNamekians, though a peaceful race, boast very powerful fighters capable of\ndoing serious amounts of damage. Though most Namekians are not fighters, the\nNamekian warriors we see fight against Dodoria and Zarbon have a power level\nof roughly 3,000, according to the [Dragon Ball\nWiki](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Power_Levels). To get an idea\nof how powerful that is, the same wiki lists Master Roshi's highest power\nlevel at 180 - and he was able to destroy the moon with a Kamehameha. Despite\nthis level of power, though, they are actually the only Namekians we see\nbesides Nail (and Piccolo) that are able to put up any level of resistance\nagainst Freeza and his soldiers. Though there may have been other warriors\nthat were killed offscreen, we can conclude that Namekian warriors of this\ncaliber are actually quite rare. As we saw, they were clearly not enough to\ndefend the planet.\n\n## 3\\. The Freeza Force\n\nThe Freeza Force is undoubtedly the largest organized force of powerful beings\nthat we encounter in Universe 7, in terms of sheer numbers. Though the average\nFreeza goon is not **that** powerful (we see Roshi defeating many at once\nduring Resurrection F), they are still much stronger than the average mortal.\nAs well, the Freeza Force has quite a large array of very powerful\nindividuals, including:\n\n * Cui\n * Zarbon\n * Dodoria\n * The Ginyu Force\n * Shisami\n * Tagoma\n\nAnd of course, Freeza himself.\n\nThe Freeza Force also has control of the entire Saiyan race, who are quite\npowerful on average, similar to Namekians. The difference, though, is that the\nSaiyans are a warrior race, so everyone was encouraged to grow as strong as\npossible. It is hard to know the average strength of a Saiyan - I do not\nbelieve it is ever stated - but even if the average Saiyan was only a tenth as\nstrong as Raditz, a low class warrior with a power level of 1500, they would\nstill be a very powerful force, especially with their Great Ape forms.\nRemember, Roshi destroyed the moon with a strength of 180. It's easy to see\nwhy Freeza destroyed them before they began to threaten him.\n\nFinally, we have...\n\n## 4\\. Earthlings\n\nThe Earthlings, otherwise known as the Z-Fighters, are the other notable group\nof beings in Universe 7. Assuming the farmer that encountered Raditz\nrepresents the average human, humans are not at all powerful with a power\nlevel of 5 according to [the\nwiki](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Power_Levels). However, they\nhave the potential to grow quite powerful as seen with Krillin, Tien, and\nYamcha (don't laugh). The Earth has also produced other extremely powerful\nfighters, including Goku and Gohan, the Androids, and Cell, all of whom are\nastronomically powerful in the grand scheme of things. Consider that before\nGoku came around, there was no one powerful enough to challenge Freeza - even\nin his first form.\n\n## Get to the point already!\n\nAll this is to say that powerful, planet destroying beings are actually not\nthat common. In the scale of the Universe, the fact that there are only around\n4 major groups that deal with beings in that power scale tell us that this\nisn't something that most planets are likely to encounter on a regular basis.\nIndeed, the Galactic Patrol from Dragon Ball Super seems to be somewhat\ninfluential, with their Galactic King being invited to the Universe 7/Universe\n6 tournament between the Gods of Destruction, and yet we know that one of\ntheir elite patrolmen, Jaco, is not powerful at all. Bulma threatened to [send\nVegeta to destroy Galactic Control\nheadquarters](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtTYYMK_CK8), and Jaco was\nscared silly. The Galactic Patrol has no way to fight him.\n\nKnowing this, it is safe to assume that for the most part, planets do not have\nany reliable way to defend themselves against extraordinarily powerful\nindividuals. Planet Vegeta was wiped out by Freeza single-handedly, and the\nsame would have happened to Namek if the Z-Fighters hadn't intervened.\n\nNote that this does not necessarily apply to other Universes, though -\nUniverse 11 has the Pride Troopers, who seem to patrol to random planets and\n[stop threats](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYEhCudb1aE), and Universe 6\nhas the Saiyans, who [hire themselves\nout](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV9O_28Sq3g) to protect other planets.\n\n# Update: The Galactic Patrol\n\nAs of the Dragon Ball Super Manga chapter 43, we can see that the Galactic\nPatrol has been around Universe 7 for at least 10 million years. As well,\nMerus, a member of the Galactic Patrol, was able to get the drop on Vegeta and\nstun him with a stun gun, by Vegeta's own admission. It may be that the\nGalactic Patrol does indeed have skilled members capable of holding their own\nagainst powerful beings, and Jaco is merely an incompetent outlier.\n\n# The Other Universes\n\nTo address the comments, I'll talk about how the other Universes deal with\nsuch threats in more detail, since the above answer pertains mostly to\nUniverse 7.\n\n**Universe 1:**\n\nNot much is known about them, besides the fact that they have a very high\nmortal level, making them exempt from the Tournament of Power. It's hard to\nmake any judgments here.\n\n**Universe 2:**\n\nWe don't get to see their universe much, but it is seen in episode 91 that an\naudition is being held to determine who will fight in the Tournament of Power.\nThis could mean that strong fighters are common here. As well, the fact that\nthe Tournament is public knowledge (it is later seen being broadcast to all of\nUniverse 2) could potentially imply that the gods of Universe 2 interact with\nmortals more regularly, which could extend to defense (though this is\nspeculation).\n\n**Universe 3:**\n\nUniverse 3 has [Katopesla](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Katopesla) among\ntheir roster, who is apparently some sort of policeman in his Universe. Though\nhe is likely the strongest of them, since he was selected for the Tournament,\nthere may be more who, while weaker, have a high power level, and help defend\nthe Universe from threats.\n\n**Universe 4:**\n\nThough they fight in the Tournament of Power, we don't know hardly anything\nabout them. Considering how much of a jerk Quitela is, though, I doubt he\ntakes the time to defend any planets (especially since he's a God of\nDestruction...).\n\n**Universe 5:**\n\nLike Universe 1, they didn't even enter the Tournament of Power, and we don't\nknow much about their Universe at all.\n\n**Universe 6:**\n\nAs briefly stated above, Universe 6 has the Saiyans, who hire themselves out\nto protect other planets. Frost also claimed to do a similar thing initially,\nthough it was eventually revealed he was instigating the conflicts that he was\nresolving. Still, it shows there is at least some level of a formal defense\norganization in this Universe. It's unknown what the Namekians of this\nUniverse do with their time (though they were all willing to fuse into\n[Saonel](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Saonel) and\n[Pirina](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Pirina) to ensure their survival).\n\n**Universe 7:**\n\nSee my old answer.\n\n**Universe 8:**\n\nSame story as Universes 1 and 5: we don't know anything about this Universe.\n\n**Universe 9:**\n\nWe do get a bit of insight into Universe 9. We know that this universe is\nextremely difficult to survive in, since it was described by the Trio De\nDangers as a \"garbage dump\" (according to the\n[wiki](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Universe_9)). Considering the utter\nchaos the universe seems to be in when Sidra [destroys a\ncity](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHfJh__qY48), we can probably assume\nthere isn't much in the way of defense for most planets.\n\n**Universe 10:**\n\nThough there are several strong fighters in this Universe, like Obuni, we\nnever get to see if there is any form of a defense force. It certainly won't\ncome from the gods, considering Gowasu's policy of leaving mortals to develop,\nsimilar to Shin (this was also one of the reasons Zamasu betrayed Gowasu).\n\n**Universe 11:**\n\nAs mentioned briefly in my old answer, Universe 11 has the Pride troopers, who\nactively patrol the Universe and destroy threats, as seen\n[here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYEhCudb1aE).\n\n**Universe 12:**\n\nLike Universes 1, 5, and 8, this Universe was exempt from the Tournament of\nPower, so we didn't learn much about them.\n\n## Summary\n\nOverall, while it seems that some Universes have some level of defense for all\nplanets, many of them do not, and would have to rely on powerful altruistic\nindividuals to protect them from evil or destructive forces.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nOnly Toriyama can answer this question 100% accurately. But thinking logically\nwise I can provide you with some reasons.\n\nLet's say you are an almighty creator and extremely powerful, maybe even god.\nIn religions god isn't bound to time. Making it so that god doesn't age at\nall. Or god ages so slowly that his creations won't even notice it. Zen-oh\nbeing a child is probably either being because he ages extremely slowly or\nmaybe he doesn't even age at all.\n\nFor example in Hinduism there is a demi-god called Brahma. He is the creator\nof an universe and responsible for it. Throughout 1 day in his life is equal\nto several hundreds of thousands human years on this planet. Meaning that if\nwe ever met him right now and in 80 years it would be for him like no second\nhas even passed. That same thing might apply to Zen-oh. I am a hundi myself so\nI used my knowledge in this religion to provide this as an example. If you\nwant a source I'd suggest reading the Srimad Bhagavatan about the creation of\nthe universe. But I don't think that is necessary as I simply used it as an\nexample.\n\nAnother simpler sample might be science based. An atom has a lifespan that is\nextremely short. A fly has a lifespan ranging from 1 day to a few weeks.\nAnimals can live up to several dozens of years. Each creature being mightier\nthan the previous one. Compared to cats for example we age very slow. 1 year\nfor them is like 12 years for us to reach the same body-age. Let's say there\nwas a being known such as Zen-oh. He might've had a lifespan that is\ncomparable to humans when we are comparable to that fly that lives max 1 day.\n\nBut then again I don't know if Zen-oh is immortal. Biologically wise aging is\nbased on cells replacing themself and the brain making less and less tissue.\nPerhaps Zen-oh is able of perfectly replacing those tissue and not losing\nanything at all, making him nearly-immmortal due to perfect cell replacement.\n\nIf you were able to not age at all, then the most pleasant age would be that\nof a child. The reason behind this is because a child doesn't have any form of\nstress. It doesn't need to care about responsibilities and such. Everything is\nprovided for a child. That is why older people always tell the younger ones to\nenjoy their youth. Because when they grow up, they will have so many\nresponsibilities that they can barely enjoy life.\n\nPerhaps a combination of the above is what inspired Toriyama to make Zen-oh\nlook like a child. But I don't know his thoughts at the time. If I were to\ncreate a god, I'd make it look like a child as well. It shows eternal youth,\nbliss and a cute way of ignorance. If it were an old person It'd look wise and\nway too serious, to go against this you'd end up with a King-kai type of\npersonality, which is still in the dragon-ball standards of humor.\n\n",

[The average temperature of blood](https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS763US763&q=average%20temperature%20of%20blood&spell=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiTgfnJu-bXAhXPRN8KHYh-BqUQvwUIJigA&biw=1868&bih=1109) is pretty high, and when it's escaping your body that quickly you can tend to feel the warmth before it has time to cool off. You can see in the frame where Ishida mentions \"It's Warm\" is the same frame where he begins to bleed out. Same goes for in the movie, its voiced over as soon as he begins bleeding out as well.\n\n**Volume 6, chapter 43: page 15, 16, 17**\n\n\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/TcOr3.jpg)\n\n",
