"body": "\n\nIn the dragon ball universe, there are plenty of methods to significantly\nboost the power level of the user. We have things such as Potara earrings,\nSaiyan power-ups, etc. But more recently we were introduced to Ultra Instinct.\nAs this is said to be a form attainable by anyone but mostly used by gods\n(which is even difficult for them to attain) how strong is it actually? Like\nhow much does it power up an individual that uses it?\n\nThis question is mainly based on episode 115 where Goku used Ultra Instinct\nagainst Kefla as well as against Jiren in an earlier episode. In SSB form Goku\nwas eventually outmatched even with Kaioken activated. We know for a fact that\nSS forms basically boost power and speed significantly at the cost of stamina\nand ki over time. Ultra Instinct is a state of the body, making it respond\nwithout having to process the thoughts; making the body capable of an instant\nperfect reflex to anything.\n\nGoku was able to dodge all of Kefla's attacks which seemed like slow motion to\nhim most likely. But he wasn't powered up. Ultra Instinct doesn't provide ki\nand such it simply is a state of the body making your reflexes perfect with no\ntime delay. So where does the power output come from? How come his punches and\nsuch are stronger with Ultra Instinct compared to all his other forms?\n\nAs far as I understand each time he was in his none powered up form, his base\nform. This means his power level is a lot lower than even kaioken in base\nform. How come he is capable of having such a damage output? Does this mean a\ndesign flaw in Ultra Instinct?\n\nWhat is the **actual** power of Ultra Instinct apart from making muscle\nreflexes perfect?\n\n",

"body": "\n\nOne very important factor which was mentioned multiple times in the episode\nwas that Goku was fatigued. This was mentioned a lot of times by Champa and\nincluding Beerus. This is very likely the writers trying to say that if Goku\nwas at full power, he would've been able to face Kefla. So I think one can't\njump to a definite conclusion whether Kefla is stronger than SSJB+Kaioken\nGoku. The last kick landed on him by Kefla was obviously not as strong as her\nprevious attacks so, in other words, you could assume that Goku was extremely\nfatigued which resulted in him losing his form\n\nAll Super Saiyan forms are multipliers to the base form. We know for a fact\nthat the SSJG multiplier is superior to the SSJ3 multiplier and obviously, the\nSSJB multiplier is a lot higher than the SSJG multiplier(Based on Goku's\nfights with Jiren and Kefla). The multiplier would remain the same whether\nGoku is fatigued or not but what would change is his initial base power. The\nUI transformation is also a power multiplier which also makes him reach a\nstate with complete mastery of self-movement. This is because we see Android\n17 remark on how goku managed to overcome the drastic power difference and go\ntoe to toe with Jiren. Also, we see Picollo state how he was growing stronger\nwith every blow. Finally, when Dyspo and Toppo attacked, we know for a fact\nthat full power Toppo is superior to SSJB but UI Goku was easily able to push\nhim back and not just dodge his attack. So it is obvious that even the UI\ntransformation acts like a power multiplier.\n\nLets say Kefla manages to achieve Super Saiyan 3 during the course of battle\nwith UI Goku or if we see Jiren fighting seriously at full power against UI\nGoku, we can gauge it's power. As of now, we don't exactly know how strong the\ntransformation is.\n\n",

The special force or special gravity responsible for stopping flight, should have in theory stopped that layer of footing from existing but it didn't. So in other words, android 17 could've sat on that for as long as he wanted and it would appear even as though he was floating. Jiren's energy is obviously a lot superior to android 17 so whatever special forces of gravity responsible to prevent flight aren't strong enough to hold Jiren in place.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThis is an interesting question, however, as of now I think the answer would\nbe a no, with regard to stacking it up on top of SSJB\n\nIn the anime, The UI transformation was indicated to be a massive power\nmultiplier, even a lot stronger than SSJB+Kaioken*20, which is a reason why we\nsee Goku being able to block Jiren's hits despite his god of destruction like\npower and also overpower high tier characters like toppo without any effort.\nAlso, despite the Self movement ability being a skill, we see Goku undergoing\na transformation and he doesn't utilise it naturally like Whis or the other\nangels. However, it is possible to stack kaioken on top of it as kaioken is a\nspecial technique and not really a transformation. Hence goku would be able to\nutilise Kaioken with the UI transformation assuming his body is capable of\nhandling it.\n\nNow there is a possibility Goku might be able to adapt this transformation\ninto his base form where he is capable of utilising his self-movement ability\nwithout undergoing the transformation. Maybe something like the SSJ\ntransformation during the cell arc, where Goku mastered it and managed to stay\nin it for a prolonged period of time as though he was in his natural stage.\nAlso this can also refer to him absorbing the god form into his base form or\nhim utilising god ki in his base form.\n\nAlthough, this doesn't seem practical as the UI transformation multiplier\nseems to be significantly higher than SSJB based on Goku's fight with Jiren so\nI don't see why goku would wan't to stack the skill with SSJB. Maybe utilising\nkaioken with the UI transformation might increase his power humongously.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nBased on some research on Ultra Instinct I'd say yes. However there is no\nfactual data showing that it happened or is about to happen (yet).\n\nLet me explain why it is possible. First of all, what actually is Ultra\nInstinct? **It is a state of the body where it reacts without the brain having\nto process the thoughts of responding.** Making reflexes instant since the\nmuscles respond without the brains having to process it. You can look at it as\nthe muscles being capable of thinking on their own. Now this is simply a state\nof mind for the muscles (it sounds weird, but it is most accurate way to\ndescribe it).\n\n**Now powering up** (with things such as super saiyan, kaioken or maybe even\nanother form such as Freeza's forms), **affects the stamina, ki and power.**\nThese 3 are unrelated to the state of the muscles. And we know for a fact they\ndo stack with each other if different techniques are used. For example\nkaioken+any saiyan form. So if the same \"buffs\" can stack, why can't different\nones?\n\n**What the muscles do and what the ki does are 2 seperate things.** Muscles\nneed calories (stamina) and input from the brain to act (normally). Energy\nattacks require ki. Eleminating the input from the brain is what Ultra\nInstinct does, meaning the ki and stamina remains unaffected. By this logic it\nis completely possible to have a ki related buff active while having Ultra\nInstinct active.\n\nMy main source about Ultra Instinct is DBS itself and the episodes where it\nwas shown as well as the episode earlier on when Goku and Vegeta were training\nwith Whis and where Whis gave the example about his body being able to avoid\nthe poop when it isn't wearing shoes. It was described as a state where the\nbody can think for its own. [Other than that you can find a lot information in\nthe dbs wiki about ultra\ninsinct.](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Ultra_Instinct)\n\n",

"body": "\n\n> TL;DR: the anime studio doesn't own the complete rights to the anime, so in\n> most cases there will be no problem in the case the studio goes under.\n\nLong version:\n\nThe owner of the rights to an anime in modern times is almost always a 制作委員会,\nwhich I usually translate as \"production partnership\".\n\nThis is a partnership that is set up in order to fund the anime, while\nsplitting the risk with other sponsors. This includes companies like the\npublisher of the original work, the music company, figure companies,\nadvertising companies, TV stations, etc. This may or may not include the anime\nproduction studio itself. Either way, in the case the studio ceases to exist,\nthis would not affect any agreement with foreign publishers, as the rights are\nstill being managed by the production partnership.\n\nIt should be noted that just because a company goes bankrupt doesn't\nnecessarily mean it loses all capability to create anime (depending on the\ntype of bankruptcy). There have been several cases like this, for example\nTatsunoko Production. Mangrove, whose anime you have mentioned, has ceased to\nexist as of 2016, but there has been no removal of the anime (and Mangrove has\nnever opted into the partnership, so they never had any rights to the anime\nitself anyway). It does seem that Mangrove's bankruptcy affected Gangsta's BD\nrelease, but I would assume that had more to do with the common practice for\nanime studios to brush up and fix TV anime for the disk releases.\n\nThere have been cases where studios go bankrupt and production partnerships\nenlisted a different studio to produce the sequel. Strike Witches and Saki are\nexamples of this (in the case of Saki, Studio Gokumi is a studio founded by\nformer Gonzo employees).\n\nSources (all in Japanese):\n\n * Structure of production partnerships\n\n 1.

Generally, the\nlegal opinions I've read (not being a corporate lawyer myself) seem to state\nthat it is up to the trustee appointed to handle things. If they decide the\nexisting licence agreement adds value, they can decide to take up the\nagreement, otherwise they may decide not to, and sell the license at auction\nor offer it to another company. If a trustee is not appointed (Debtor in\nPossession) the agreement remains, with some provisos. This is based on US\nbancruptcy law (section 11) which says sometion along the lines of: the\ntrustee, subject to the court’s approval, may assume or reject any executory\ncontract or unexpired lease of the debtor. It includes pretty much all\nintellectual property licences, with the exception of Trademarks which are\nhandled differently. The person/company who had the license can file suit for\ndamages if they lose it. This seems to be somewhat similar to Swiss and German\nlaw too. Wasn't able to find a translation I could read on Japanese law. I\nwould assume that would be more pertinent. As there has been no announcements\nthat Crunchyroll is removing them, there hopefully isn't going to be an issue.\n\nReferences:\n\n * 11 U.S.C. § 362.\n * 11 U.S.C. § 365.\n * Marcelo Halpern, Bankruptcy Issues in Intellectual Property Licensing, in 2 Understanding the Intellectual Property License 2012, at 245, 271 (Practising Law Inst. 2012); Riback, supra note 12, at 641.\n * Vern Countryman, Executory Contracts in Bankruptcy Law: Part I, 57 Minn.

Where every part of Goku's body moves 100% on its own\nand eliminates reaction time. Unlike Whis, Goku gains a transformation which\nalso acts a power multiplier while attaining this state. Just like in the cell\ngames, post Hyperbolic time chamber, we see Goku utilizing the SSJ\ntransformation as though he was in his normal state. Goku does not have a\nsimilar ability where he can utilise this skill in his normal state without\ntaking up a lot of energy.\n\nAll the gods of destruction on the other hand are yet to master this skill are\nin the process of mastering the same. In other words, Beerus has not mastered\nit to the same level as Goku or Whis. We see Beerus utilise the same in the\nmanga where he dodges attacks from multiple God's of destructions but at the\nsame time, it is not 100% as he does get caught off guard in the process. This\ncould possibly be another reason why we see him rather annoyed like the other\ngods when we see Goku utilize this transformation.\n\n",

However, Dragon Ball has always been a \"Macho, power\"\nbased show and the most logical explanation as of now is that Jiren is only\ninterested in fighting someone who is worth is time and is not interested in\nfighting anyone weak.\n\nI think the only possible shot Universe 11 have to win the tournament is by\nthe sheer intimidation of Jiren's power. Dyspo is possibly on the same level\nas Mid-tier fighters like say Android 17 or Gohan and possibly even weaker but\nis no way strong enough to face some of the high tier characters like Vegeta\nand Golden freiza unless he manages to utilise his speed and counter their\npower. Toppo, on the other hand is a lot more powerful and we see him push\nGoku into using kaioken and Toppo was suppressed and wasn't fighting at full\npower. So ideally speaking, Toppo is strong enough to take out most of the\nfighters but might have trouble with the other high tier characters like\nVegeta and Freiza. We have seen someone like Kale being able to rattle the\nwhole stadium when she released her ki and also knocking out a few fighters in\nthe process. So even if toppo and dyspo were to be eliminated, Jiren could\npossibly unleash his god of destruction level energy which is undoubtedly\nstrong enough to wipe out every fighter there except (UI Goku).\n\nEven after toppo fought goku during the Zen exhibition match and Vermouth\nasked him whether he could defeat goku; He responded that he wasn't sure and\nif he were to fall, Jiren would still be there. I think Universe 11's strategy\nwould be, to take out as many fighters as possible and even if they were to\nfall, there isn't anyone capable of taking out Jiren or even strong enough to\nput up a decent fight.\n\n",

Originally unclear of the plot, Steph and Kurami\n> could not arrange this reasoning properly. Only looking at the excited\n> siblings while feeling stunned.\n>\n> **\" Wahaha! 'I always wanted to try and say the number four lines[19] ' —and\n> I really said it out!\"**\n>\n> \".......Nii, nice, good job.\"\n\nIt's similar to the anime version.

"body": "\n\nThere doesn't seem to be much information online regarding why dubbed Naruto:\nShippuden specifically is only partly available on Hulu. However, there is\nsome, as well as some more generic information that can be pieced together.\n\nIn [a question to Hulu](https://www.facebook.com/hulu/posts/10153792204222188)\nabout this very topic on FB from 2015, Hulu responded:\n\n> It's our goal to provide as much content as possible and to keep it all on\n> our service as long as we can. However, what content we post and how long\n> we're able to keep it on Hulu depends on contractual agreements or streaming\n> clearances granted by our content partners.\n\n[An announcement from 2016](https://www.fandompost.com/2016/03/22/more-dubbed-\nnaruto-shippuden-anime-arrives-on-hulu/) of an earlier set of Shippuden\nepisodes being posted on Hulu mentions that Viz media had been putting\nepisodes up sporadically.\n\nThis fits with what [Anime News Network said about this\nquestion](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2016-03-21/.100056) more\ngenerically. ANN gives a good answer, but to summarize it, there was an\noriginal reluctance to posting more than a limited number of dubbed episodes\nonline because the idea was that dubbed episodes have a larger base and so can\nbe sold on DVDs and such. Providing them online would thus cut into the\nprofits from DVD sales because people wouldn't need to buy the DVDs and so\nonly a few at most would be put online to get people interested. Now that\nstreaming has become more profitable, that's changed somewhat, but because\nHulu and Netflix make content providers jump through hoops, it's often not\nworth it to go back and reconfigure old dubbed episodes to post.\n\nThis goes along also with a [2011 NYT\narticle](https://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/29/business/media/hulu-and-netflix-\ngain-an-advantage-with-anime.html), where they mention that it can take at\nleast a year for official dubs; if places like Hulu make it so hard for them\nto post episodes, they make not see it as worth it to post dubs and go through\nthat work again when the subs have been up for 12+ months already.\n\nTl;dr: They want people to buy DVDs, and it's a pain to post stuff on\nstreaming.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI watched the movie (English-dubbed). The movie gives no explanation of why\nPikachu is suddenly shown speaking a human tongue.\n\nHowever - and this is just my impression - I don't think that Pikachu\n_actually did_ speak a human tongue here. The astute _Pokémon_ -watcher will\nrecall that there are many scenes in the anime where a Pokémon is able to\nconvey complex thoughts to its trainer just by making its species' noises.\nThis happens particularly often with Pikachu/Ash.\n\nSo this scene felt to me more like a \"translation convention\" for the benefit\nof the audience, who, unlike Ash, cannot understand what \"pika pi pikachuuuu\npika\" means. Typically, when the audience needs to be apprised of what Pikachu\nis saying, Ash will reiterate what Pikachu supposedly said to him (you know,\nalong the lines of \"What's that, Pikachu? Team Rocket's giant Meowth-shaped\nballoon is over thataways?\"). But I think that approach wouldn't have worked\nvery well in this particular scene, so we get Pikachu \"speaking\" a human\ntongue instead. This works fine here, because the only character who witnesses\nPikachu's \"speech\" is Ash, who would understand Pikachu just as well even if\nPikachu were speaking Pikachu-ese.\n\nAs supporting evidence, I note that Ash doesn't seem even mildly surprised by\nthis turn of events, which suggests to me that Pikachu was still speaking\nPikachu-ese at him. (Though, I suppose, he might have had other things to\nworry about, like the gang of mind-controlled Pokémon that are about to beam-\nspam him out of existence.)\n\n",

Caulifla on the other hand is able to\nutulize SSJ2 pretty well. This form can be recognized by the lightning sparks\nand the violent aura that covers the whole body and clothes. SSJ itself has a\nrather calm aura without any lightning sparks, with ofcourse almost the same\nhairstyle.\n\nNow to get back to Kefla in the screenshots you provided we can see 3\nimportant things.\n\n 1. Green aura (Kale's LSSJ/BSSJ)\n 2. Lightning sparks (SSJ2 in general)\n 3. Violent covering aura (SSJ2 in general)\n\nSo with these observations it is safe to assume that the most accurate name to\nthis form would be LSSJ2. This is because Kale was able to master her BSSJ,\nmaking it the LSSJ. This in combination with the SSJ2 from Caulifla delivers\nus the breathtaking LSSJ2.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nOugi is Araragi's youthful foolishness manifested as persistent self-doubt and\nlack of love for himself.\n\nThis idea is transient throughout the occurrences of Ougi. She initially\nspawned after the events of Shinobu Time. That's when Araragi registers the\nidea that he could criticise himself just like how the Darkness criticises the\nworld as the \"principles of the universe\". After her creation, Ougi spars with\nAraragi, nudging out fears and doubts he has had about his decisions and\nactions. He wants to make himself feel guilty for the events of the series\nbecause he chose to save Kiss-shot, Senjou, etc. This was the main theme for\nthe Sodachi arc, in which Ougi was actually right, that he knew the reason for\nSodachi's suffering all along but hadn't acted. Of course, this isn't always\nthe case. Why was this important in the entire series? Because Ougi had the\nability to undo what she thought were the mistakes that Araragi had made, even\nwhen the mistakes were natural to make; Gaen's gang knew this. There are some\nplotholes though, but those will be up to your interpretation of the story.\n\nSecondly, Ougi being his lack of love for himself an important developmental\npoint in Owarimonogatari 2. In Bakemonogatari, his lack of love for himself\nallowed him to be so selfless in saving the 5 girls that it caught even Meme\noff-guard, which is a reason why Meme left, sensing that an abberation like\nOugi might appear. Throught the series, Araragi gets beaten and cut up in many\nways to save others. In Owari 2, Araragi also foreshadows his inability to\nlove himself in Hitagi Rendezvous even when he was able to love Senjou.\n\nHis development was in the subsequent arc where he saved Ougi from the\ndarkness. Choosing to sever his arm to save Ougi was the ultimate act of\nloving himself, to finally hurt for no one but himself. This was when Meme\nfinally comes back, to signify that this huge Arc that started with Bakemono\nhas come to an end.\n\nOugi also tries to sabotage the relationships between Araragi and the girls.\nI'm not sure whether this has been explained so I will only speculate that I\nfeel this is because Ougi reflects Araragi's childish mantra that \"friends\ndecrease my power as a human\". Another hint that Ougi is Araragi's childish\nfoolishness.\n\nOugi Dark is really similar to Suruga Devil and Tsubasa Tiger. They are\nstories about growing up by recognizing a part of themselves. Araragi\nrecognises that he is someone who can criticise himself and hate himself,\nKanbaru sees the fears she has harboured reflected within Numachi and Hanekawa\nembraces her imperfections (jealousy in this arc). Accepting this as a natural\npart of growing up brought the stories to their conclusions.\n\n",

Assuming Kaioken doesn't have a limit and you could\nreach a multiplier beyond 20, Goku doesn't necessarily need to keep utilizing\nthe same to get used to the state. This is because Goku has to train his body\nto be able to adapt to the physical strain imposed by Kaioken. This requires\nexcellent Ki control which is why Goku was able to stack it on top of SSJB and\nwe never see him stacking it on top of SSJ2 or SSJ3 when he fought Beerus or\nBack in the Buu Saga against Kid Buu.\n\nAlso, it's been stated by Whis to Vegeta that God level training involves\nexcellent Ki control and not just putting your body through a lot of physical\nstrain. Also, Kaioken acts as a multiplier to Goku's current level of power\nand not his Base form unlike his other transformations. So in other words, if\nsomeone were to train and achieve a stronger transformation which is a higher\nmultiplier, having a higher multiplier of kaioken wouldn't make a difference.\n\nSuppose there existed a transformation which was a lot superior to SSJB(Not\ngonna use UI here), which is a significantly higher power multiplier than\nSSJB, then even 30 times SSJB, will not be able to stand up against that\npower.\n\nThe best way to illustrate the same would be with an example. Let us assume\nGoku has a power level of 2 and let there exist one transformation which is a\n100 times multiplier and another transformation which is a 200 times\nmultiplier. If Goku utilises the first transformation and is capable of using\nKaioken * 3/ his power would be : 2*100 * 3=600. Incase of the second\ntransformation, let's say he can only use Kaioken * 20, but his power would be\n: 2*200*20=800.

No matter what sort of power level Goku achieves, he has a limit on\nhow much he can temporarily force that power output to be multiples of itself.\nThat is his limit as a human/saiyan. This is different from \"power\" growth via\nstrain and training.\n\nWhile he can train his use of power. He cannot easily train personal self-\ndamage due to over-exertion.

"body": "\n\nCorrect me if I am wrong, but considering Champa's actions, words and\nbehaviour so far I am pretty sure that he was trying to tell them to not lose.\nWhich could either indicate to destroying the enemies (which seems very\nunlikely) or waiting it out. I think he meant waiting it out since it was said\nin earlier episodes that if at the end of the time multiple universes have\nwarriors left then the one with the most warriors would win. Considering their\npower level + max power level with any given form of boost they wouldn't come\nclose to Kefla. Even if they used Potara earrings. This is because of the fact\nthat they have a fixed power level due to not having saiyan blood. They can\npower up a little with a ki boost, but nothing close to super saiyan.\n\nChampa is no fool. He sure as hell acts dumb and crazy but his decisions are\nspot on and based on the current situation. That's why he told Kale and Califa\nto attack instead of hiding when their power levels were raising in order to\ndestroy Goku. Their initial strategy was to wait it out and hope to be the\nuniverse with the most numbers at the end of the tournament after Hit was\nfallen. But Potara happened which drove Goku to UI. The 2 Namekians will never\neven reach the power level of SSJ2 Goku when they fuse. With Potara they might\nbe able to force Goku to use SSG, but they can't boost themself more and more\nlike a saiyan, so they will stay at that level while Goku keeps evolving.\n\nChampa knows this as well based on what he had seen. He can be pretty sly as\nwell so he might want them to use nasty strategies in order to reduce the\nenemy numbers. But it is either this or waiting it out. He definitely didn't\nmean to tell them to fight as that would mean the loss of his universe due to\nJiren and Goku still being alive. Even with depleted stamina Goku requires\nonly a couple of taks in order to recover again to use UI. This is based on\nthe time that passed in the tournament (not episodes) between the first and\nsecond UI. Champa knowing this as well would not tell his warriors to fight\nagainst such a threat.\n\n**Edit:** I just noticed that I had never answered your question and was\nsimply just explaining the situation. The answer is no. Namekian fusion isn't\nstronger than Potara. Based on Piccolo x Nail fusion with the power levels\nbefore and after we can conclude that this formula is **fusion power =\n(A+B)*7(raw estimate)**. Potara earrings scale far bigger and are known as the\nstrongest type of fusion. When Vegito was introduced in DBZ we could see that\nit was far stronger than SSJ3 Goku. SSJ3 in general has a rough multiplier of\nx400 (some sources say x1000) from the base form. Since we have to consider\nVegeta as well in the fusion we can conclude that the actual multiplier is\n**at least** x100 with Potara earrings. I couldn't find any credible source to\nexplain the multiplier but based on before and after scenes and known\nmultiplier for SSJ states we can give a raw estimate. Anyway Potara is far\nstronger than a namekian fusion. The most reasonable formula that I found for\nit was baseform A x baseform B. Some others said that it draws out max\npotentional achieved by each user and multiplies that by 400. But these aren't\nofficial sources.\n\nSo all in short, **no** , Namekian fusion isn't stronger than Potara fusion.\n\n",

I highly doubt they'd even be stronger than mid tier characters like 17 and Gohan, based on the fact that base gohan was able to easily keep up with them.

We do not know if the \"Scarlet\nEyes\" causing Kurpika to become a specialist is unique to him or the Kurta\nclan. Your other question regarding the so called \"hero\" has simply no base or\nanswer at all because the Manga gives no information.\n\nHowever, you've to understand that the Phantom Troupe themselves are very\npowerful Nen Users. They can easily go against numerous \"physically powerful\"\npeople, they can easily kill them. This is what Nen brings to the table and\nall members of The Phantom Troupe.\n\nKurapika was able to bridge the gap by utilizing his \"Scarlet Eyes\". He was\nable to turn his eyes Scarlet at will. By utilizing the conditions of\nLimitations and putting his own life at stake he greatly boosted his Nen\nabilities. He is a skilled Nen User, has high combat prowess, genius level\nintellect, and enhanced speed, perception and reflexes.\n\nTo end, as far as we know Kurapika is strong BECAUSE of his clan massacre and\nhis innate skill and not because of his clan. The Phantom Troupe is an elite\ngroup of Nen Users who can take on any other high level fighters.

{
"body": "\n\nI am not going to state any actual multipliers, but I think I can try to\ncreate a list of different kinds of fusions and why one form of fusion is\nstronger than the other. I'm going to take into consideration, the Namekian\nfusion, The fusions when Cell/Buu absorb another character, the fusion dance\nand obviously the potara fusion.\n\nIn terms of power, I believe the correct order would be\n\n 1. The Potara fusion: The potara earrings are worn by the Supreme Kais, the supreme ruler of the universe and its something which is not possessed by any mortal. It was stated by the Elder Kai himself that the Potara fusion was stronger than the fusion dance. As for the kind of fusion where a character is absorbed, the potara fusion is still superior to the same. This can be explained by going back to the Buu Saga in Dragon Ball Z. Ultimate Gohan was the strongest unfused character than and a lot stronger than Super Buu. Super Buu was a lot stronger than SSJ3 Goku. The SSJ3 transformation is undoubtadly a lot superior to the SSJ2 transformation and Vegeta in his SSJ2 state(Without majin) was slightly weaker than Goku. With the potara fusion, Base Vegito was able to fight Super Buu with ultimate Gohan like it was nothing. Even the recent Dragon Ball Super episodes where Kefla reached new heights managing to rival the power of SSJB + Kaioken Goku and possibly even surpassing it, indicate how powerful the potara fusion is. \n \n\n 2. The Fusion Dance: It has already been confirmed that the Potara fusion is superior to the fusion dance, however, I believe the fusion dance is superior to the kind of fusion where a character is absorbed. Since Gogeta is not considered canon, I'm only going to use Gotenks to prove my point here. Firstly, we know for a fact that Base Goten and Trunks were no where as strong as Base Goku, Vegeta or yet alone Gohan(Who was rusty at that point in time). Fat Majin Buu was considered to be one of the strongest characters at that point in time and the only character who was capable of defeating it was SSJ3 Goku which is a 400 times base multiplier. Once Evil Buu absorbed the fat majin Buu, he was a lot superior to SSJ3 Goku. We've seen android 18 being able to fight trunks and goten together while they were using SSJ during the tournament. Even after training in the HTC, it's obvious that base trunks and goten were no where close to base goku, gohan or vegeta in power. However, Base Gotenks was a lot stronger than Base Goku such that SSJ3 Gotenks was equal to super Buu in strength. We haven't seen such a massive power increase by just absorption. If you go back to the cell saga, Cell absorbed Android 17 and 18 and let's say the two of them were as strong as Super Namekian Picollo(After he fused with Kami). However, Goku in his Mastered SSJ state, just a (50 times multiplier) was able to put up a decent fight against cell.\n \n\n 3. Absorbtion based fusion / Namekian Fusion: Based on power levels from the earlier seasons, we know for a fact that the namekian fusion is (Namek A+Namek B)*7.09. The absorbtion based fusion seems to be of this nature with a very low multiplier, or probably only of an (A+B) nature. My proof for the latter would again be based on the the fight between Buuhan(Super Buu+Ultimate Gohan) and Vegito. Super Buu was a lot stronger than 400 time's Goku's base strength. And Ultimate Gohan was a lot superior to Super Buu's strength. Even if the potara fusion is an incredibly high multiplier, compared to the absorption based fusion, there is no way possible for Base Vegito's power to be comparable to Buuhan's if there was a higher multiplier incase of the absorption based fusion. We know after Kibito and Shin fused, (Just before Goku went back to earth to assist Gohan fight Super Buu), the old Kai stated that Kibito was still a lot weaker than Buutenks. So the potara fusion multiplier is not astronomically high which would only imply that the absorption based fusion has a low multiplier which is why Buuhan was completely dominated by Vegito. With regard to whether the Absorption based fusion or the Namekian based fusion being stronger, we can't really say with a certainty. This is because, we would be comparing Picollo to the likes of Buu and Cell(Who were technically the strongest characters in their respective arcs, until they were surpassed by the Saiyans). Also the characters who were absorbed were a lot stronger than the characters picollo fused with, so I don't think there is sufficient information to distinguish the two \n\n",

However: Japanese\ndoesn't _have_ contrastive focus reduplication! That's not what's actually\nbeing said here.\n\nReduplication in Japanese is used primarily for mimetics (onomatopoeia,\nbasically). Unlike with English's contrastive focus reduplication, you can't\nreally apply \"mimetic reduplication\" to arbitrary Japanese nouns, so \" _kōhī-\nkōhī_ \" (which is sort of a weird adjective-ified form of \"coffee\") sounds\nstranger to the Japanese ear than \"COFFEE-coffee\" sounds to the English ear.\nIf I were to attempt an analogy, this might be somewhat like forming a strange\nderived adjective from coffee, as in \"this coffee isn't very coffile\".\n\n",

The term gained its\n> circulation in late 1980s, however the origins of the strategy can be traced\n> back to 1960s with the proliferation of anime with its interconnection of\n> media and commodity goods. It is the Japanese equivalent of a media\n> franchise.\n\nTo conclude and reiterate, it is when an original work (e.g. anime) has\nderivative works on other media (e.g. manga, game). Recent media includes\nmanga, anime, light novel, game, music CD, TV drama, movie, web radio,\nfigures, talent ( _Love Live!_ ), trading card ( _Yu-Gi-Oh!_ ), plastic model\n( _Gundam_ ) and others.\n\nExample:\n\n * [Tenchi Muyo!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenchi_Muyo!): an OVA spawning TV anime, game, radio drama, light novel, manga, etc. (considered as the pioneer of media mix in Japan)\n * [Code Geass](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Geass): a TV anime spawning manga, game, light novel, drama CD, radio, live-stage and musical performance\n * [Guilty Crown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilty_Crown): a TV anime spawning light novel, manga, game, web radio\n\n* * *\n\nSome references were taken from Japanese Wikipedia counterpart\n\n",

We also see the Yardrat in Universe 2 and we know\nfor a fact that Yardrats exist on Universe 7 and there is no exact explanation\nas to why there are Yardrats on Universe 2. Maybe, they brought back another\nrace which was previously mentioned while adding the Yardrat character to\nUniverse 2? We know that Universe 6 is the parallel universe of Universe 7 and\ntechnically, all races found in Universe 7 should have a counterpart in\nUniverse 6. Yet, we see the Yardrat and the Tsufurujin from Universe 2. I\nguess the best explanation which I believe would be that while creating new\ncharacters for the tournament of power, a couple of previously mentioned races\nwere brought back such as the Yardrat and the Tsufurujin while designing\ncharacters for Universe 2. I don't really think we are going to get any more\nof an explanation with regard to the same because it's been already\nestablished that Ribrianne is the main important character in the Universe\nleft on the stadium, and the yadrat was already given a decent amount of\nspotlight.\n\n",

A similar trick was\nused by Aoyama for the prequel encounter between Shinichi and Heiji three\nyears before the current timeline: neither of them manged to get a clear look\nat the rival detective or to learn each other's names; that prequel also had\nthe trick of Shinichi and Heiji both solving the case while thinking it was\nsolved by the other detective, thus avoiding a contadiction with a previous\nstory that showed Shinichi solving his first case one year before the current\ntimeline. Another thing is that Shinichi briefly interacted with Heiji's\nmother in the 3-year old flashback even though he doesn't know her when she\nfirst appears in the series: this can be easily explained by the fact that she\ndid nothing to stand out and had her face partially obscured by a cap and ski\nglasses, plus their interaction was very brief.\n\nGosho Aoyama likes his work to be coherent.\n\n",

They're very catchy but I noticed something\ninteresting in the lyrics!\n\nHere are the lyrics at [2 minutes and 19\nseconds](https://youtu.be/PxFQGnxbueY?t=139):\n\n> In chorus: だって。。。家族{かぞく}なんだもん？ | datte... kazoku nandamon?\n>\n> In chorus: こども、ロボットと黒い{くろい}猫{ねこ}！ | kodomo, robotto to kuroi neko!\n\nIt translates to \"What even is this family? A child, a robot and a black\ncat!\".\n\n**You can hear Sakamoto sing along.**\n\n* * *\n\nSecondly, Sakamoto says \"no comment\" ( _literally_ ) when Nano's raises the\nissue of the wind-up key on her back! I guess he finds it amusing but doesn't\nwant to hurt Hakase's or Nano's feelings? Maybe. :P\n\nHere are the lyrics at [2 minutes and 4\nseconds](https://youtu.be/PxFQGnxbueY?t=124):\n\n> Nano: とれないかなぁ 背中{せなか}の ネジ回し{まわし}？ | torenaikanaa senaka no neji mawashi?\n>\n> Hakase: かわいいのに! | kawaiinoni!\n>\n> Sakamoto: 「ノー コメント」 | \"no komento\"\n\nNano's line translates to \"Won't the turnkey on my back ever be removed?\".\nHakase reassures by saying \"It's cute...\" while **Sakamoto says \"No\ncomment.\"!**\n\n* * *\n\nBy the way, I'd never have guessed I would answer my own question a year\nlater! It was a nice assignment and a good Japanese practice! Thanks for\nreading, and let's hope for a season 2 of this beautiful anime! :D\n\nP.S The song: [Shinonome Kenkyuujo no, kyou mo heiwa\ndesu](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxFQGnxbueY).\n\n**ヾ(＾∇＾)** _**Jaa, ne~**_\n\n",

He saw himself not as a master assassin human or a killing\nmachine, but as a happy lovable teacher, so the tentacles shifted to\naccomodate these thoughts,\n\nSo, based on what we know about the tentacles, Korosensei's body has the\ncapability to revert to his human appearing form. The tentacles have been\nshown to simulate a human body before, and they can take any form. However,\nthis transformation is based on an emotional state. That means the user must\nfeel or believe that they are the human they take the appearance of.\nKorosensei cannot do this because he no longer sees himself as the man that\nwas the world's greatest assassin.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nWell, Gohan was the strongest unfused character at the end of the Dragon Ball\nZ saga. Also, 6 months after the Buu saga, the memories of Majin Buu was\nerased using the dragon balls. The Battle of Gods arc was 4 years after. We\nknow there was a massive time jump because Gohan and Videl were just\nclassmates at the end of the Buu saga but Gohan was married with Videl and\nalso was a (Going to be father), at the start of Super. Let us assume the\nmystic gohan multiplier is an immense multiplier > than the SSJ3 multiplier.\nBase Gohan wouldn't have trained during the 4 year period up until the battle\nof gods and obviously Goku and Vegeta would've trained a lot during that\nperiod. So I'd say at that point in time, SSJ3 Goku was possibly as strong as\nMystic Gohan or at least stronger than Super Buu and almost as strong as\nMystic Gohan. Vegeta on the other hand, might've been as strong as Kid Buu in\nhis SSJ2 form or maybe slightly stronger. Unfortunately, when Gotenks fought\nBeerus, he was in his base form so we cannot use Beerus fight with Gotenks and\nVegeta's initial fight with Beerus to gauge Vegeta's power level. I believe\nduring the battle of gods arc, Ultimate Gohan (Dragon Ball Z) > SSJ3 Goku >\nSuper Buu > Vegeta SSJ2 > Ultimate Gohan (Dragon Ball Super)> Kid Buu. I\nbelieve Gohan became didn't train and was a lot weaker than he was in Z.\n\nThis brings us back to your question as to whether Vegeta's rage SSJ2\ntransformation surpassed Gohan's mystic form in Z and my answer to the same\nwould be a yes! I believe SSJ3 Goku wasn't as far behind Mystic Gohan(Dragon\nBall Z) during the battle of gods arc. Goku definitely wouldn't go four years\nwithout trying to surpass or at least approach the power level of someone\nstronger. So it's very likely SSJ3 Goku might've even been stronger than\nMystic Gohan , however for argument sake lets say he was slightly weaker.\nVegeta in his rage transformation was a lot stronger than Goku in his SSJ3\nform and I'd say very likely surpassed Gohan's Mystic form in Dragon Ball Z.\n\nNote: The list I made with the power difference was with the worst case\nscenarios. Vegeta and Goku might be a lot stronger than where I placed them on\nthe list. It might even be possible that SSJ3 Goku was at the level of Mystic\nGohan during the battle of gods arc and Vegeta might've been on the same level\nas Super Buu or possibly even stronger. Vegeta and Goku would've definitely\ngotten a Zenkai boost after their fight with Kid Buu and the two of them\nwould've obviously trained and gotten a lot stronger post Buu saga.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nDepending on what you mean, there is no way to know for sure.\n\nThere are two difference interpretations to your question. However, no matter\nwhat, there are a lot of assumptions we must make. Indeed, Dragonball Super\noften ignores consistent power scaling.\n\n**Comparing Vegeta vs Mystic Gohan at his prime**\n\nFeat-wise, we know that Mystic Gohan at his prime was significantly stronger\nthan Gotenks SSJ3, and Super Buu absorbed. However, he was not stronger than\nSuper Buu with Gotenks absorbed. Gotenks is roughly equal in power to Super\nBuu.\n\nSuper Saiyan 3 Goku was, according to him, stronger than Fat buu, and even\npossibly Kid Buu.\n\nThe relative strength of Super Buu and Kid Buu is unknown. However, it is\nlikely that Super Buu absorbed is roughly on the same level as Kid Buu if not\na bit stronger.\n\nThis means that Goku in Buu Saga is roughly as powerful as Super Buu.\n\nIf we assume that absorption increases Super Buu's power by the absorbee's\npower, then Super Buu with Gotenks absorbed is roughly twice as powerful as he\noriginally was.\n\nThis means that Mystic Gohan was less than twice Super Buu's Power, and thus\nless than twice the power of Goku.\n\nNow, The time between Buu Saga and Battle of Gods was 4 years. The relevant\nquestion is whether or not 4 years of training made Goku twice as strong. It\nis like that it did, and as such, it is likely that Vegeta did exceed Mystic\nGohan at his prime.\n\n**Comparing Vegeta vs Mystic Gohan at battle of God**\n\nConsidering that Gohan was extremely weak in Resurrection F due to lack of\ntraining, and that Resurrection F was 1 year after Battle of Gods, while\nBattle of Gods was 4 years after Buu saga, it is likely that Gohan at Battle\nof Gods was way weaker than even Buu saga goku.\n\nAs such, it is very likely that Vegeta was stronger.\n\n",

But if we accord it to\n[Baby Center](https://www.babycenter.com/baby-names-kyon-512965.htm), the #1\npregnancy and parenting digital destination whom reaches more than 45 million\nparents a month in every corner of the globe, Kyon means Young Warrior. It\ndoesn't appear that much but if we look it closely, Kyon really appears like a\nyoung warrior.\n\nKyon face life in a cynical manner, in an adult manner, like that of a young\nwarrior yet has a soft and good nature. To start though, Kyon never believes\nin supernatural. A quote from the transcript of Episode 1, \"But aliens, time\ntraveler, ghosts, monsters, espers, and anime, manga, live-action heroes that\nfight them, it wasn't till later in my life that I realized they all don't\nexist.\" It is not like he don't believe in them, in fact he even mentioned\nthat it would be nice that they could exist. But that just how the normal life\ngoes.\n\nKyon had a fateful, extreme encounter with the supernatural yet he faced it\nlike a man. He had Yuki Nagato, a bibliophile humanoid interface; Mikuru\nAsahina, a time traveler; and Itsuki Koizumi, an esper in the same club room\nyet they continued their days as a student like normal.\n\nKyon, thanks to Haruhi's sudden decisions, was also brought to many critical\nencounters yet he surpassed all of it like a man. He is even the one who make\nawesome decisions to save the day.\n\nKyon also saved the world as he and Haruhi Suzumiya were trapped in a parallel\nworld. The creatures created by the powers of Haruhi Suzumiya has started\ndestroying the world to create it anew. And the strength of Kyon's and\nHaruhi's buddies is not enough to intervene. Only Kyon can make a change to\nsave the world.\n\nAnd finally, Kyon was also trapped in a time paradox as conveyed in their\nmovie, Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.\nThere's more tell to this. But I want you to see it for yourself. Watch the\nmove and have some fun. Enjoy~\n\nTrivia: A man somewhere in the world was hit by a car and was put to coma.\nAfter years of coma and recuperation in the hospital, he recovered his\nconsciousness. The first thing he asked is, \"How's the new episode of Suzumi\nHaruhi no Yuutsu?\"\n\n",

In a city\nsetting, while it may be tough, I think he would communicate with animals such\nas rats/birds to help him immobilize the Villain Bots. Birds attacking sensors\nor rats eating through the wires.\n\nAnother thing that we may be missing is **Rescue Points**. Each individual's\noverall score is unknown, but we do know that everyone but Bakuro (Only\nDestroyed) and Midoriya (Only Rescue Points) scored a combination of both\npoints. Since both these individuals are shown to be very \"nice\", I'd assume\nthey got their fair number of rescue points.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nNaruto is Sasuke's best friend because he is actually his only real friend.\nI'm going to cover the initial character development and the final leading\nupto shippuden and try to explain the crux of the relationship between Sasuke\nand Naruto. This is going to be a long answer, hence apologies in advance if I\ngo off rails a bit. :)\n\nFrom his childhood he was as much of a loner as Naruto was. Both had no real\nkinship to anyone. Naruto's fixation towards Sasuke was a similar hindrance as\nthat of the girls' crush on him. He cares only for strong and it can be seen\nas his interest in only the strong Genin such as Lee, Neji and Gaara. This\nchanged with Team 7. From their first real mission (Land of Waves Arc), he\nrealized what the \"teamwork\" could do that Kakashi talked about. Nothing helps\nforge kinship in a way than facing an adversity together. \n\nIf we look at the Land of Waves we see Sasuke's Character development: \n1\\. Disdain for Naruto [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/CmuIe.png) \n2\\. Realises Teamwork and Synergy: Defeating Zabuza 1st time [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/DxVON.png) \n3\\. Training Together: Satisfaction [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/VfZMW.png) \n4\\. Saving Naruto's life by sacrificing his own (He doesn't know he has plot\nArmor) [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4SYuk.png) \n\nIn the first three images, we can see Sasuke has a very similar facial\nexpression, but through the context we can see that his attitude has changed a\nlot! For the first time in his life he is experiencing the feeling of\ncamaraderie.\n\nThe first part of Naruto is Sasuke's journey as much as that of Naruto. We see\nSasuke form actual bonds with Team 7 before they deteriorate again. Sasuke had\nalways chased \"strength\" to defeat and kill Itachi. When he saw Naruto's\ngrowth he tried to break his \"bonds\" by belittling him and trying to undermine\nhis self respect. Naruto however never gave up and followed him even when he\nleft with the Sound Four.\n\nThe battle at the valley of the end is actually a realization on Sasuke part.\n\n * He finally accepts that Naruto is his friend (Best by being virtue of only because he accepted no one else, even Kakashi or Sakura). \n * He makes a conscious decision of \"breaking\" the friendship for fulfilling his self proclaimed destiny of revenge.\n * He leaves Naruto alive because he didn't want to follow Itachi by killing his \"best friend\".\n\nFrom the flashback we know the significance of \"friend\" for Sasuke and his\nfinal decision\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/caoBz.png)[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/93vnn.png) \n\nIt is interesting to note he finally acknowledges Naruto, and faces his own\nfeelings for him as a friend. This brings an end to the first part of Naruto\nleading upto Shippuden\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/OOctp.png)[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/fPQOd.png)[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/2JYnI.png)\n\n",

Just\nlike at the dock when they smiled back at each other. It's just that since\nthey were getting along better through their time together in team 7, they had\nbecome friends. In this episode, he clearly states that Naruto is his best\nfriend because of the time they spent together.\n\nShowing that Naruto is his real friend, he didn't kill him. Instead, he left\nhim behind. From what Itachi had said, \"kill your best friend for the\nMangekyou Sharingan power\". He had to kill a friend, which in his reaction he\nhad to choose Naruto. Instead, Sasuke walked away telling himself there had to\nbe another way other than killing his best friend (Naruto).\n\nSo how they became best friends is through what they did in team 7.\n\n",

Manga is sold like books; **how much a\n> mangaka earns is usually dependent on the contract they’re offered.**\n>\n> [...]\n>\n> That begs the question, what happens if the artist’s manga goes viral and\n> sells millions of copies? It’s not unheard of. Some mangas have massive\n> followings and seemingly exploded overnight.\n>\n> Most manga authors receive a royalty from the sale of each volume, and if a\n> manga gets especially popular, **the publisher is likely to extend the\n> contract for further volumes (and at a higher rate).**\n>\n> This is a tricky field for mangakas to navigate. While sudden success may\n> seem like a great thing, it also comes with a number of legal loopholes and\n> red tape to clear.\n>\n> [...]\n>\n> In particular, manga artists have to really advocate for themselves in order\n> to get the earnings that they deserve, especially when the manga gets its\n> own anime.\n>\n> Some manga artists have remarked that allowed merchandise to be produced of\n> their characters in exchange for a licensing fee (which is standard).

But the author\n_might_ demands to get paid more because of that, but in the end it's all end\nup on the publisher decides, and in most cases it'll be - lets see if this\nmanga will work out if any.]\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI'm considering the following facts:\n\n 1. Japanese people have few spare time, with their jobs taking a lot of their time usually, even kids or teenagers have intense schedules.\n 2. There are lots of anime series each year, we can easily expect at least 100 series with maybe an average of 20 chapters per each series.\n 3. Most anime don't get out of Japan, even if we consider either worldwide legal or illegal services that offer anime, what is seen most are the most well-known series.\n 4. Anime is not cheap to produce, we can consider that each anime episode is about 120000 US dollars.\n 5. Anime is pretty time consuming to watch in general.\n\n(I'm making up the previous quantities but I don't think I'm that far from the\nreal ones).\n\nWith these facts I wonder how it's profitable in general as my guess is that\nwith those conditions most series would not cover their costs, so it looks\nsomehow strange that people are willing to spend much in something that's\nhardly going to be profitable (although if the anime is successful and\nmoreover, exported worldwide, it can be truly profitable, that's true, maybe\nit's just that with their big hits they cover all the rest of the unsuccessful\nseries).\n\nI thought that maybe it was subsidized by the government but with an internet\nsearch it looks like this doesn't happen often.\n\nWhat is missing or faulty in my reasoning, or is anime really profitable?\nMaybe it's what I've said earlier that their successful series cover the costs\nof the unsuccessful series?\n\nOn the other hand, could it be that it's not usually profitable but they still\ntry to do it just because anime is so big in Japan and they love it?\n\n",

"body": "\n\n 1. Merchandise, DVD & Blu-ray sales. If the predicted net profit from the sales of Merchandise, DVD & Blu-ray is low then some studios will hire freelancers. For example, Madhouse is known for hiring Freelancers.\n\n 2. Some studios are already powerful and big enough such that they could themselves invest certain amount of money in the anime rather than the production committee giving them a budget. Thus they would get a larger chunk of profit. Example, Kyoto Animation and Sunrise studios.\n\n 3. Some studios are directly owned by big and well known production committee members who have produced not only anime but also video games, soundtracks, merchandise & food companies. All of which can act as a source of money for the production of a anime.\n\nExample, A1 Studios -> Aniplex -> which in turn is owned by the Sony Music\nEntertainment Japan.\n\n 4. International licensing.\n\n 5. Finally, some anime may perform poorly initially, but, several years later they might do well in the international market or during the re-runs. By which the studio and the production committee can get back their lost money. Remember how Gundam 0079 had very low ratings initially? Or how Serial Experiments Lain was a flop in Japan but not so much in US? Or how Ghost Stories utterly failed in Japan but did comparatively well in US?\n\nPoint is, even if some shows don't make profit in the initial run, doesn't\nmean they will always not make a profit later on.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIt's usually not. Art is not profitable. You may find facts and stats around\nbut some of the process isn't really holding up anymore now, the industry is\nnot doing that well. That's actually a good thing because now it'll be forced\nto adapt to the new climate and cut off on bad industry practices like making\nfifty generic book adaptations every year that only gets made because of\nmarketing and no one will care enough to watch half of it and yet talent is\nbeing wasted on it.\n\nAnime is a luxury. This means you buy it because you want it, not because you\nneed it. Figurines, goods and spin-off works are hugely marked up because\nsomething has to pay it off, but sales are largely tacked onto the random\nnumber generator of \"which show gets popular\" and so the business doesn't\nreally have a good idea of what they should focus on. Sometimes it's blu-rays,\nsometimes actual merchandise, or even hosting events and selling tickets.\n\nStuff is made because some book company decides they want to fund a show, so\nthey take money and pay a committee / studio to make one. That's one way money\ncould come in. It could also be some investment that the studios is doing,\nbecause they want a try on that random number generator. Sometimes your\nproject strikes gold and your project turns out to be profitable. Other times\nthey're not and it doesn't net a profit.\n\nThe inherent problem of trying to find profiting points of anime production is\nthat anime production is not a consistent field to study. There are studios\nthat work closely with game companies and get paid by the game company to turn\nsome of that gacha money into a marketing opportunity, there are studios that\nmake original works that very likely won't make it into mainstream attention\nand profit but are still made because it's art and the team is fueled by\nartistic passion, sometimes it's just because a project can be done for very\ncheap so let's roll the random number generator.\n\nI heard gainax is going to fund their projects through patreon soon. Anime\nmight find a living on new-age media along with content creators who make\ntheir living off the internet. This may not necessarily be the vision I am\naiming for, but either way something will probably happen on that note.\n\n* * *\n\n25/07/18 addendum: [No, TRIGGER's Patreon Won't Save\nAnime](https://youtu.be/iKbSzCW8fsM)\n\n",

"body": "\n\nYamoshi was the first Super Saiyan in Dragon Ball. If you recall, way back in\nthe Saiyan Saga, it was stated by Vegeta that it was very common for Saiyans\nto utilise their great ape transformation to gain an extraordinary amount of\npower and control the form for combat. Yamoshi obviously utilised the same\ntransformation in Combat and when he attained the Super Saiyan transformation,\nhe was in this state which is why his Super Saiyan transformation seems to be\nthe golden great ape. Goku on the other hand, had his tail cut off and he\nmanaged to tap into the transformation without transforming to the great ape.\nSo in other words, Goku managed to attain the amount of battle power necessary\nin his base form without the great ape transformation which is why his SSJ\ntransformation was possibly different. Yamoshi on the other hand, probably\nneeded the great ape transformation to attain the amount of battle power\nnecessary to turn Super Saiyan.\n\n",

He just lost his brother and is being\nfocused on by the camera. Beerus obviously being conflicted with how he felt\nprobably wanted to be left alone (audiences eyes off him) and out of the\nspotlight and as OP says thats why he says \"say something\" because he's\ntelling the narrator to hurry it up. This might be considered as disrespect\njust because of its 4th wall breaking, I'd say it's more emotional.

This indicates that\nBeerus cares about Champa the same way as an adult brother cares for his kid\nbrother.\n\nSo back to the universal tournament; the stakes are high and while they enjoy\nfighting each other we can conclude that both want to win, but they don't want\ntheir brother to lose either. If anything Champa wishes deeply that if he\ndoesn't win then his Brother Beerus should and vice versa.\n\nAt the final moment Champa called out to his big bro and would've probably\nsaid something but he isn't a fool. Due to his troubled face he resorted to\nmaking a funny face instead, indirectly telling Beerus to not worry and rather\nto focus on winning. Beerus on the other hand... wanted to hear some parting\nwords. A \"good bye!\" or \"good luck!\" would have lifted his spirits a bit, but\nknowing Champa he didn't want to resort to a touching goodbye, so he acted\naccordingly to his behaviour. **Beerus wish to hear some final words was what\nmade him say that.**\n\nThis is simply the bond of an elder brother losing his younger brother while\nboth are aware that one is going to vanish... and at the moment of vanishing\nyou would want to hear your brothers voice doesn't matter what it is. **This\nis more something emotional and sensitive rather than some beyond-human-level\nform of communication.** This was the feeling of losing someone close to you\nwhile being unable to do anything about it at all.\n\nOff-topic; Vegeta was pretty pissed about it as well. And remember what Vegeta\nsaid to Cabba? He would win the tournament and wish Cabba's universe back so\nthat Cabba could show him around in his universe. At the current episode and\nending I think that Beerus has a similar feeling right now. He wished planet\nearth back for his brother previously. It is quite obvious what his next wish\nwill be (if they are granted a wish at all).\n\n",
