"body": "\n\nI think you're misinterpreting the quote on the\n[wiki](http://overlordmaruyama.wikia.com/wiki/Magic_Caster#Introduction_to_Types_of_Magic_Casters).\nSince the creation of this question, the wiki quote has actually changed,\nhowever.\n\n> All tier spells in YGGDRASIL could be categorized into **four great systems\n> of magic** , each one with some exclusive spells and characteristics. **Not\n> only that, but magic casters too are also categorized** by the system of\n> magic that they use. (emphasis yours)\n\nI believe this simply means that tier magic is categorized into 4 systems of\nmagic: Arcane, Divine, Spiritual, and Alternative. In the same way, magic\ncasters are categorized by the 4 systems of magic. Arcane Magic Caster, Divine\nMagic Caster, Spiritual Magic Caster, and Alternative Magic Caster.\n\n> Arcane Type Magic Caster: Elementalist, Sorcerer, etc. \n> Divine Type Magic Caster: Cleric, Hierophant, etc. \n> Spiritual Type Magic Caster: Talisman User, Shaman, etc.\n>\n> There are other categories like Blessing type, that belong to the\n> Alternative system: \n> Blessing Type Magic Caster: Bard, Paladin, Cursed Knight, etc.\n\n# Edit\n\n[Runecraft](http://overlordmaruyama.wikia.com/wiki/Runecraft) and [Wild\nMagic](http://overlordmaruyama.wikia.com/wiki/Wild_Magic) are completely\ndifferent forms of magic from [Tier\nMagic](http://overlordmaruyama.wikia.com/wiki/Tier_Magic). Magic casters in\nthe New World are practitioners of Tier Magic.\n\n> All **tier** spells in YGGDRASIL could be categorized into four great\n> systems of magic. (emphasis mine)\n\nRunecraft and Wild Magic were forms of magic that were created LONG before the\nintroduction of Tier Magic. These forms of magic were limited to specific\nraces, and are now very rare in the New World.\n\n",

School festival maid cafes clearly show up more often in anime than in\nreal life. (Unsurprisingly - you can dress cute anime girls up in maid outfits\nand they can't complain; real life people not so much.)\n\nI do not have enough information to address the question of chronology - that\nis, which came first? Anime school festival maid cafes, or real-life ones?\nWhile it is well-established that maid cafes were first observed in real-life\nAkihabara (c. 2001), I don't know whether they propagated from there to otaku\nmedia, and then from otaku media to real high schools, or whether high\nschoolers replicated Akihabara's maid cafes in real life, and otaku media then\npicked up on them. My gut-feel is that the former is more likely, but either\nexplanation seems plausible.\n\n",

It is Japanese dub with English\nsub. The credits during the opening are in Japanese, while the credits in the\nending are fully in English. From my experience, this is rare. Subs tend to\ncredit in either the subbed language or Japanese plus other languages.\n\nThe latter appears to be the most common choice, at least nowadays. In this\ncase credits tend to be given in the language of the person or company being\ncredited. Japanese nationals will be credited in Japanese, Korean folks in\nKorean, Filipinos (and other countries using Latin alphabet) in English, etc.\nI'm not sure about Chinese folks, because I haven't learned to tell the\ndifference between Chinese, and Japanese with a lot of kanji. If a Thai\ngraphics studio worked on the CGI, their credits might well be given in Thai.\nAnyway, frequently one sees multiple languages on one page of credits.\n\nIs there a style for giving credits that is developing over time, or are they\nportrayed however the individual studio (or licensee) feels at the time?\n\n",

The\nword itself doesn't have any meaning and all Kajiurago songs is meant for open\ninterpretation.\n\nFrom AnimeGiga video interview (link above)\n\n> Interviewer: What is ｢Kajiurago｣?\n>\n> Kajiura: This so-called “Kajiurago” is actually a constructed language I\n> frequently use, meaningless language fabricated by myself. It’s only that I\n> arbitrarily named it “Kajiurago”. It’s entirely meaningless.\n>\n> Interviewer: Not even a bit of meaning?\n>\n> Kajiura: Yeah. Fabricated only for its pronunciation. One thing is that when\n> I wrote insert songs and other songs for anime, I had initially used\n> Italian, Latin, and the like before. Even if it were a non-Japanese song,\n> for scenes whose meaning I cannot match, to use lyrics not matching the\n> work, I don’t like that.\n\nThe Kajiurago lyrics are usually never officially released unless otherwise\nspecified. Most Kajiurago lyric we can find is something people write from\nwhat they hear. But for Madoka OSTs, the lyrics are actually an official\nrelease, although it's not happen very often.\n\nAlmost every song from Madoka OSTs used Kajiurago, and Kajiurago is used in\nmany of her compositions, not only for Madoka Magica and Fate/Zero but also in\nseveral other OST like [\"A Song of Storm and Fire\" from Tsubasa\nChronicle](https://canta-per-me.net/lyrics/storm-and-fire/).\n\n",

When Vegeta came back to earth while Goku\nand Freiza were fighting on Namek, we see him make quick work of Gohan. \nI believe, the reason Gohan did better was because Vegeta was psyched out over\nthe fact that he was facing Freiza, having known how powerful he was, he sort\nof gave up on both occasions which is why he was defeated so handily. Gohan on\nthe other hand, didn't care and put all his power into a single barrage of\nattacks against Freiza.\n\nThe only times where I'd say Gohan surpassed Vegeta would be:\n\n * **Post HTC training with Goku during the Cell arc** : Gohan came out even stronger than Goku and Vegeta in his Mastered SSJ state.\n * **During the battle against Perfect Cell:** When Gohan attained the SSJ2 transformation, he obviously surpassed all the Z fighters which include's Vegeta.\n * **After potential unlocked by the Elder Kai:** When Gohan attained the _Mystic Transformation_ , he obviously was way stronger than SSJ3 Goku who was way stronger than SSJ2 Vegeta.

{
"body": "\n\nThe answer to this is very simple. It's **Kefla**.\n\nThis might seem a little hard to believe at first because of the final beam\nexchange where Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Freiza and 17 powered up and gave it their\nall. However, here's my argument for the same: \n\n* Whether Goku is stronger than Vegeta and Freiza in his blue form or vice versa is very debatable but either way I think it's **fair to state without any shadow of a doubt** that, Goku SSJB + Kaioken * 10 is stronger than all the 5 fighters together. We know the Kaioken multiplies Goku's power as we see Hit state that Goku's power has doubled, tripled, quadrupled, during the Universe 6 vs Universe 7 fight. Hence, **Goku SSJB + Kaioken * 20 is without a doubt, way stronger than the 5 of them combined.** \n \n\nDuring Goku vs Jiren, when Goku used Kaioken*20 and charged towards Jiren, he\nused his _Eye attack_ which in my opinion is one of his strongest moves\nconsider he only bothered to use it against a powered up Goku twice, against\nHit after he was trapped in the Cage of time etc. This attack was **strong\nenough to flick away SSJB+ Kaioken * 20 Goku like it was nothing**. After Goku\nattained the **Ultra Instinct** and Charged towards Jiren, we see him being\nable to not just dodge, but also block and push back these attacks as we see\n**Goku pushing Jiren back**. If Goku was only dodging the attacks, he wouldn't\nhave pushed Jiren back. When Goku used the UI against Kefla, we figure out\nthat Goku had grown stronger and powered up even more. Whis also remarked that\nUI Goku's attacks in aren't that effective (This was in his powered-up state\nhence his attacks against Jiren would've very likely been even weaker). Still,\nKefla was strong enough to take hits from UI Goku, get back up and put up a\nfight. This shows Kefla in her SSJ2 state is way stronger than SSJB + Kaioken\n* 20 Goku and hence superior to Anilaza.\n\n* Whis stated that **SSJ Kefla's power was comparable to that of the Spirit Bomb** used by Goku against Jiren. The spirit bomb is certainly very comparable and might even be stronger than the combined beam attack from the 5 remaining warriors. Let us say for argument sake that it is weaker than the combined beam attack. The power was compared to SSJ Kefla. SSJ2 Kefla is a lot stronger than SSJ Kefla as the SSJ2 is a 100 times multiplier while the SSJ is a 50 times multiplier. So it is very obvious Kefla's powers again surpass that of Anilaza. Even though Anilaza had the upper hand in the beam struggle until Android 17 broke the energy reactor, the Universe 7 fighters were holding their own and it wasn't completely domination.\n \n\n* Kefla's potential and Saiyan abilities make her stronger than Anilaza. Goku stated that he senses no limit to her energy and Kefla certainly had a lot of potentials and if she hadn't had to fight a god-tiered fighter like UI Goku, she would've very likely had more time to draw more and more of her power and probably even attained the SSJ3 transformation. **Also, Saiyan's attain Zenaki Boosts when pushed to their limits**. The **final attack unleashed by Kefla** against UI Goku was indeed a lot **stronger than a basic SSJ2 attack** as Cabba remarked that her power is growing exponentially.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nAdapting the Japanese script of a show for an English dub goes through a few\ndifferent steps and throughout these steps there is plenty of opportunity for\nthe original script to be altered/adapted/interpreted in a way that results in\nthe dub to be noticeably different from the original, but can also still be\nfar away from ordinary english.\n\nFirst the script is translated. In language, there are many cases where there\nis no direct translation or where a word can be interpreted in multiple\ndifferent ways which could lead to a case like in your question. Also, there\nare many cultural words and references where even after translation, most\nenglish speaking viewers would simply not get it which is why it is necessary\nto have the translations adapted and re-scripted.\n\nIn adaption and re-scripting, writers attempt to make the translation flow\nnaturally when spoken in english while keeping in mind the voice actors and\nthe time it takes them to say it and the time allowed for said lines in the\nanimation itself and also ensuring to mention all the essential plot points.\nThis process allows for plenty of artistic interpretation and I think that is\nreally the answer to your question. This dialect you notice is just how the\nwriters adapted the translated script... an unnatural dialect could be due to\nartistic choice, an attempt to convey something that doesn't really exist in\nenglish or it may even just be bad writing. I would say however, that more\noften than not the unique dialect you notice is not so much unique, as it is\nJapanese idioms being kept in the english dub. Some examples are \"obento\",\n\"shiritori\" and adding suffixes like \"-chan' which to someone unfamiliar to\nJapanese things, may seem at first like an odd or unique dialect.\n\nFor your specific example I would say it was an artistic choice, but I would\nalso say it is not unnatural, and it even fits well with the theme of the\nshow. The word **mortal** may not be very common in your everyday conversation\nbut it **is** very common in dramatic dialogue about gods, angels, demons and\nthe battle between good and evil. There are ample famous books, movies,\nquotes, poems where humans are called mortals and the setting of those books\nand movies will usually be similar to that of Devilman. _( **Edit:** If this\nwas not the case, and from your comment it seems as though it isn't, then it\nwould be because of one of the above mentioned reasons. Possibly just bad\nwriting?)_\n\n",

"body": "\n\nif you watch modern movies like the lord of the rings series, they also use\nodd dialect. it adds ambiance to the film and id say modern dubs are going for\nthe ambiance angle on venues that occur in a different time or story universe.\n\nthe settings for most anime are not current day normal earth therefore the\nlanguage helps create that feel. think of something like the lord of the rings\nseries, they do not speak normal english because it would ruin the story.\n\nyou have to note that anime went through developmental phases and the reasons\nfor odd dubs through those periods seems to have changed.\n\nsomething from the sixties like astro boy or even the early eighties like\ntechno police has a very stilted english dub and as it appears to have been\ntranslated by non native english speakers then read by voice actors\n(reference?), the translation appears to use phrase-book snippets from sources\nthat were thirty or forty years out of date when the translations were made.\nOn the other hand some american cartoons such as minute mouse and courageous\nkat also use the same odd phrases and stilted delivery. whether it was for\neffect or to mimic the up and coming japanese animations i do not know. of\nrelevance is the fact that several japanese films from the sixties and\nseventies also used the same odd idioms and stilted delivery on their english\ndubs. some of the martial arts related ones come to mind and have become cult\nfilms due to the justaposition with the delivery not matching the action and\nthe almost irresistible urge to repeat the line out loud for comedic effect.\n\nit was a successful formula for that time period and success doesnt always\nknow why it does what it does, it only knows it has to.\n\nthese dubs are clearly odd because of how they were translated and i believe\nthe stilted delivery was intentional to match the level of realism in the\nanimation or create interest. later anime with smoother animation used more\nnatural deliveries although as pointed out, the dialect is not colloquial and\nthat is for effect.\n\ni am familiar with these phrase books. on trips to asia or hosting visitors\nive commented on the odd phrases the locals used trying to speak english and\nin several cases they produced the phrase books and showed me how it was\n\"correct\" even though they did not know it was hilariously outdated.\n\nmodern english dubs can be at least as good if not an improvement on the\noriginal japanese. i cite FLCL as a prime example. over the top voice acting\nfull of expression and the use of current day phrases. in the case of FLCL the\nodd dialect has been replaced with odd intonations and japanese idioms which\nhave no direct translation are replaced with english idioms that convey\nsimilar levels of emotion. the goal is still achieved: the story is told with\nfeeling and set and setting are clearly other-world.\n\nnote that an anime set in the 'real' world such as 'the graveyard of the\nfireflies' has a smooth dub with normal dialect. no need to provide the\nsetting of an otherworld venue.\n\non a side note regarding liberties taken with dubs, sailor moon was the first\nmajor work that i know of where the practice of trying to follow the japanese\nscript exactly with a dub became less important than trying to tell a coherent\nstory. in the case of sailor moon, the story presented to the american\naudience is much different than the one told in the japanese language release.\nthe japanese language release detailed her attempts to find a boy and had\nsignificant sexual overtones. her magic girl quests were almost a nuisance\nhindering her from completing her dating task.\n\nsuch an emphasis on dating and sexuality for a young teen was deemed\ninappropriate for the christian-conservative north american audience and the\nscript was amazingly re-written telling an almost entirely different story\nwhile using almost all the original video. thats more than just an odd dialect\nto create ambiance, its an entirely different script.\n\nid love to see interviews regarding this with some of the voice actors and\ndirectors from the sixties and seventies while they are still around. if\nanyone knows of any, please post some links!\n\nc dos. cd dos run. run dos run!

We could say that this does increase Naruto's powers\ndrastically in comparison to Sasuke, but there are a few things to consider:\n\n## The second half of Kurama only increases chakra\n\nThe important thing here is that by getting the other half of Kurama, Kurama\ndoesn't necessarily become a stronger tailed beast, he merely gains more\nchakra. This is, of course, very drastic, but it does not allow Naruto to\nfight any better with Kurama. He can still use the same abilities, and infuse\nthe same amount of chakra into them, he just has more stamina now.\n\n## Naruto already has massive amounts of chakra\n\nNaruto is an Uzumaki, which is a clan famous for their large chakra reserves.\nOn top of that, Naruto already had the first half of Kurama which gives him an\noverwhelmingly large amount of chakra right off the bat. The addition of the\nsecond half of Kurama will increase by a lot, but not in comparison anymore.\nIt's like trying to make an already blue flame even hotter. Maybe you can, but\nby comparison, the difference is minute since it was already so hot to begin\nwith.\n\n## Naruto pools his power from sources other than Kurama too\n\nThis is pretty simple. Naruto's power never came fully from Kurama to begin\nwith. While we could say a good deal does, he still had and has various other\nabilities that make him an extremely strong shinobi.\n\n## Naruto and Sasuke were not \"equal\" at their final fight\n\nIn fact, Naruto was being severely hindered by two things. The first being\nthat he had been fighting in this war for much longer than Sasuke, and was\nmuch more tired out. The second thing is that Naruto was unwilling to fight to\nhis fullest (especially in the beginning) for fear of killing Sasuke, whereas\nSasuke did not hold back. So even if the second half of Kurama did make Naruto\ntwice as strong as before, it would not make him exactly twice as strong as\nSasuke as they were never on equal ground to begin with.\n\n## Where are their power levels at now?\n\nThe simple answer to this is we don't and can't know. We can merely speculate.\nAs we see in the Scarlet Spring, we know that Naruto's combat instincts have\ndulled whereas Sasuke's could have only sharpened. This means that the two\nhave probably leveled out\n\n",

A story (legend, folklore, etc.) for children to listen to. \"\n> _Momotaro_ \", \" _Kachi-kachi Yama_ \"-type. Alternatively, as a trope, a\n> fantastical story that ignores realism.\n> 2. **A story which takes place while doing _otogi_**.\n>\n\n* * *\n\nIn fact, when Aida told Eto about \"doing _otogibanashi_ at night\", **Eto was\nsurprised, realizing it's about _togi_**. (The translation is wrong, Eto\ndidn't shout _otogibanashi_ , only _togi_ )\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/XhHh9l.png)\n\nNow, what is _(o)togi_? _Otogi_ is basically _o_ (honorific prefix) + _togi_.\nJisho states:\n\n> * [_Otogi_](http://jisho.org/word/%E5%BE%A1%E4%BC%BD): attending (upon);\n> keeping another company\n> * [_Togi_](http://jisho.org/word/%E4%BC%BD): nursing; nurse; attending;\n> attendant; entertainer\n>\n\nWhile Kotobank states:\n\n * [_Otogi_](https://kotobank.jp/word/%E5%BE%A1%E4%BC%BD-453274)\n\n> 1.

"body": "\n\nAccording to [Japanese\nWikipedia](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%81%93%E3%81%AE%E4%B8%96%E7%95%8C%E3%81%AE%E7%89%87%E9%9A%85%E3%81%AB_\\(%E6%98%A0%E7%94%BB\\)#%E5%8E%9F%E4%BD%9C%E3%81%A8%E3%81%AE%E7%9B%B8%E9%81%95%E7%82%B9),\nthe differences are (warning: also includes spoiler from the manga):\n\n * The time period at the beginning of the story (year 1934 → year 1933)\n\n> At the beginning of the story, the time period of the episode when Little\n> Suzu encountered the kidnapper on the way to deliver seaweed was advanced\n> from \"January 1934\" to \"December 1933\". In the movie, after passing through\n> various circumstances such as the reworking of the production plan, the time\n> period of this episode was set in December 1933. In the movie, the state of\n> the busy town in the Christmas shopping season is depicted. However, on that\n> year, there was an event of the birth of the [Crown\n> Prince](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akihito) on December 23, the day\n> before Christmas Eve, thus the celebratory mood should have continued from\n> that day until the new year. Because of that, the episode at the beginning\n> of the story was set sooner than that date.\n\n * The emphasis on character relationships (Suzu-Keiko, Shusaku-Rin-Suzu, Teru-Rin-Suzu)\n\n> In the movie, the relationship contrast between Suzu as a wife and Keiko as\n> a sister-in-law is the main point. The appearance of the courtesan Rin, a\n> major character in the original was reduced, and an episode related to the\n> love triangle between Shusaku, Rin, and Suzu is not shown. Along with this,\n> the appearance of the courtesan Teru who mediates the reunion of Suzu and\n> Rin in the original is cut to one scene only without any line. However, Teru\n> is mentioned in Suzu's flashback and Suzu has possession of Teru's red\n> cosmetic item, which Rin handed over to Suzu after Teru's death in the\n> original.\n\n * The scenes related to the characters' point-of-view\n\n> In the movie, the scenes from men's point-of-view like details of weapons\n> such as ships and fighters, the feeling of male characters and more, were\n> added, supplementing the women's point-of-view drawn in the original. During\n> the beginning of the bombing of Kure (chapter 26 in the original), while\n> Entaro is lying down protecting Suzu and Harumi, a dialog regarding his\n> emotion to the [Homare\n> engine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakajima_Homare) mounted on [Kawanishi\n> fighters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawanishi_N1K) while dogfighting US\n> fighters in the air was added. Also in this scene of the movie, when Suzu is\n> fascinated by the sight of war, colorful bomb smoke is shown using\n> paintbrush inside her imagination. While this was not shown in the\n> original's monochrome, it's an arrangement based on the historical fact that\n> coloring bullets for identification were mixed in the anti-aircraft guns of\n> warships.\n\n * Suzu's reaction to Japan's defeat\n\n> When Suzu flew out of the house raging after listening to [Jewel Voice\n> Broadcast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewel_Voice_Broadcast) reporting\n> Japan's defeat, her line is changed when she looks at the raised\n> [Taegukgi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_South_Korea) and breaks\n> down crying. In chapter 38 of the original, Suzu feels that the justice they\n> believed was lost and she talks to herself whether Japan will yield to\n> violence since other countries have been conquered violently, while in the\n> movie, her monologue is about whether they should yield to violence since\n> they live on rice and soy coming from the other side of the sea. Regarding\n> this, Katabuchi stated that Japan's food self-sufficiency at that time was\n> not high and there were circumstances in which we had no choice but to rely\n> on grain imported from abroad, and to talk about the same thing as the\n> original, he said that he thought that it was better for Suzu to respond to\n> food material since she is always doing the kitchen work. As a related\n> depiction, when Suzu visits the black market, a random character refers to\n> Taiwanese rice, a line not included in the original has been added.\n\n* * *\n\nNote: a 30-minute extended version of the movie, titled _In This Corner (and\nOther Corners) of the World_ will be released on December 2018 (Source:\n[AnimeNewsNetwork](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-07-25/in-this-\ncorner-of-the-world-anime-film-gets-extended-version-with-new-title/.134681)).\n\n",

According to\n[Narutopedia](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Konohagakure), Konoha was founded\nright after the Warring States Period. The Warring States Period being a time\nwhen the countries of the world were uniformly small, constantly battling each\nother for land, power, and opportunity. During this period, the Senju and the\nUchiha emerged as the strongest clans. The war was ended after the two clans\nunited. However, we do not know any concrete chronological information of that\nperiod.\n\nThe age can be estimated though, guessing at ages of all the Kages all the way\nback to Hashirama Senju. The wiki doesn't seem to provide and accurate account\nof the ages of the Kages or the village either. I believe that is just as\nclose as we can get to it.\n\nMy guess is, it has to be around 150 years if not a little more than that.\nAdding up ages of the Third (he died while serving) and a few years from the\nlife of the Second (he was already an adult when Konoha was found) should make\nroughly a 100 years. Adding up Naruto's age and all, it should add another few\nyears but not more than a 50 (just a guess). So the village should be more\nthan a 100 years and less than 150 years old.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nKonoha was founded during the warring clan era by Hashirama and Madara. Now,\nto have the power and get acknowledged by the other clans to create Konoha,\nthey have to have been somewhere between age 25 to 35. Hashirama's brother,\nthe 2nd Hokage, would have been around the same age too.\n\nIn a flashback, we can see that the 2nd Hokage was just around 30 years old\nwhen he was killed by the Gold and Silver brothers.\n\nAnd the 3rd Hokage has been his disciple since being a genin. From this, we\ncan say that Konoha was created just around the same time as when the 3rd\nhokage was born.\n\nAnd he was 68, I think, when he was killed by the Snake sennin. Add another 30\nyears when Boruto takes place.\n\nIn short:\n\n * Add some 5 years for the 1st Hokage's term.\n * Add another 5 years for 2nd Hokage's term.\n * Add around 55 years for 3rd Hokage's term.\n * And another 5 years for 4th Hokage's term.\n * (Start of canon) add 13 years till Naruto is gennin\n * Then add 3 years for the time skip\n * ( _Naruto Shippuden_ starts) Then add 30 years for the skip to when Boruto takes place.\n\nSo totally Konoha is around 110 years old.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nAs other answers have stated, we do not know enough of the entire history to\npinpoint exactly how old Konoha is, but we do know some time frames to narrow\nit down. It would appear Konoha is younger than it appears, and I would say\nKonoha is no more than 80 years old in Shippūden and barely 100 years old in\nthe Boruto series.\n\nThese timelines are not 100% accurate due to guesstimating, but they’re pretty\nclose in regards to the entire timeline as a whole and all 3 points of view\nline up to support each other.\n\n* * *\n\n# Hashirama and Tsunade\n\nHashirama died during the [First Shinobi\nWar](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/First_Shinobi_World_War), which occurred not\nlong after the founding of [Konoha](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Konohagakure)\n\n> The war started not long after the system of one shinobi village per country\n> was established by the founding of Konohagakure after the Warring States\n> Period.\n\nand\n\n> At some point, Hashirama came to bind most of the tailed beasts and sold\n> them to other villages during the First Shinobi World War, to promote peace\n> and tranquility ... However, this peace was short-lived. Hashirama died\n> during the war shortly after the village began to flourish, and the mantle\n> of Hokage was passed onto his brother, Tobirama Senju, who became the Second\n> Hokage\n\nOk, we have a start. All it says is \"not long\", so I would put this time\nperiod no more than a few years. During the period of the Warring Ages and the\nFirst Shinobi War, as shown in Chapter 619, Hashirama was alive when Tsunade\nwas very little. I would say she is roughly 6 years old at this point.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/9TlWCl.png)\n\n**At this point, Konoha is ~10 years old.**\n\nNext comes the [Second Shinobi World\nWar](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Second_Shinobi_World_War), taking place 20\nyears after the [First Shinobi World\nWar](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/First_Shinobi_World_War) ended.\n\n> Even then, the peace only lasted another twenty years until the Second\n> Shinobi World War erupted.\n\nBased on the First War's wiki, the final moments of the war mimicked the\nactual World War I, which leads me to assume the First Shinobi War lasted 4\nyears.\n\n> The conclusion of the First Shinobi World War mirrors the events that\n> followed the real-life First World War. World War I was ended with\n> armistice, before a treaty was finally signed. ... Nevertheless, within\n> twenty years after the signing of the treaty, World War II would begin.\n\nIf we account for that timeframe, this puts Tsunade at ~30 years old during\nthe events of the Second Shinobi War.\n\n**At this point, Konoha is ~34 years old.**\n\nWe do not know much about the events between the Second Shinobi War and Third\nShinobi Wars, but if we skip ahead the beginning of the series,\n[Tsunade](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Tsunade) is stated to be 51 years old;\n55 in Shippūden. This is roughly a ~25 year time skip\n\n**At this point, Konoha is ~59 years old.**\n\n* * *\n\n# Hiruzen Sarutobi\n\nThe Sarutobi clan was one of the first clans to settle in the newly founded\nKonoha, to which [Hiruzen](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hiruzen_Sarutobi) was\none of the first generations to come it and even be trained by the First\nHokage himself.\n\n> The Sarutobi clan was one of the first clans to settle in the newly-created\n> Konohagakure\n>\n> Hiruzen was part of the first generation of ninja produced by Konoha\n>\n> Hiruzen early on displayed prodigious talent in the ninja arts, earning him\n> additional training from Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage\n\nThis means Hiruzen was alive, but young during the founding of Konoha. Using\nthe same deduction as earlier, Konoha is ~10 years old at the start of the\nFirst Shinobi World War and during this war,\n[Hiruzen](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hiruzen_Sarutobi) is appointed to be\nthe 3rd Hokage by the 2nd Hokage.\n\n> Tobirama volunteered himself instead, and before going to his death he\n> appointed Hiruzen as Third Hokage\n\nFurthermore, based on his wiki, Hiruzen was 68 years of age at the start of\nthe series, which is 17 years older than Tsunade at the start of the series.\nBased on the guessimated age of Tsudande from the above, Hiruzen is only 23\nyears old during the First Shinobi World War, which (again) starts not very\nlong after the found of Konoha.\n\nAt the time of Hiruzen's death, it is stated that he is 69 years of age, which\nleads to the assumption that he maintained a life of 46 years after being\nappointed as the 3rd Hokage.\n\nIf we add the starting ~10 year span at the beginning, **Konoha is ~56 years\nold.**\n\n* * *\n\n# Kakuzu\n\n[Kakuzu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kakuzu) is the oldest known shinobi who\nage is known at a whopping 91.\n\n> **Age** \\- Part II: 91\n>\n> **Trivia** : Kakuzu is the oldest shinobi whose age is known.\n\nKakuzu originated from the village\n[Takigakure](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Takigakure), and during the founding\nof the villages, he was sent to assassinate Hashirama.\n\n> Around the time of the village's formation, the village tasked Kakuzu with\n> assassinating Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage\n\nGiven how Hashirama was a high valued target, it’s likely Takigakure sent\nsomebody they could count on; somebody older and more experienced. I guess\nKakuzu was 20 - 40 years old. Since Kakuzu was killed at the age of 91, and\nhaving fought Hashirama around the time of the villages’s founding,\n\n**This puts the timeframe of Kakuzu’s battle with Hashirama and Kakuzus death\nanywhere between 50 - 70 years.**\n\n",

The web series was titled\nFate/GUDAGUDA Order, and the MCs of sorts were Nobunaga and Okita, and they\nended up being shipped by the fandom. Eventually, they actually made it to the\ngame during an event around 4-5 months after the game was released, which was\ncalled the GUDAGUDA Honnouji event.\n\nYou can legally read this manga on the F/GO (US) site [here](http://fate-\ngo.us/gudao/).\n\n",

"body": "\n\nOk, if we are going to go into _Devilman_ and the reading order for it, we\nhave to get into semi-spoiler territory for the ending of the original manga,\nso you are gonna be warned.\n\n_Keep in mind this is predominantly for the manga_ , which forms the baseline\nyou need to have to get into this series.\n\n * Start with the original _Devilman_ series, which ran for 5 volumes. The series ends, with a time loop, and I won't go into circumstances, but it is barely touched upon in the Netflix _Crybaby_ Adapation.\n * _Shin Devilman_ is a side story that happens sometime in between the main series, before Akira is betrayed.\n * _Devilman Lady_ is a series that has to deal with fallout from the events of the original series timeloop and the aftermath of it, but that comes closer to the end of this storyline.\n * _Neo Devilman_ , _Amon: The Darkside of Devilman_ , and _Devilman: Strange Days_ are \"what if\" and side stories that pertain to OG, SHIN, and LADY storylines.\n * Lastly, we have _Demon Knight_ , which is a prequel to _Devilman_ , and finally _Devilman Saga_ , which partially concludes it.\n\nGo Nagai's other series, _Violence Jack_ , also has ties to Devilman as well,\nbut I won't go into that.\n\nUltimately, the order would be _OG, SHIN, LADY, SAGA, JACK_. Everything else (\n_Neo, Amon, Strange Days, Demon Knight_ ) can be read later.\n\nThese answers were provided from my knowledge and a bit of fact checking from\n[The Devilman Wikia](http://devilman.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page)\n\n",

Also, if you\nwere to look at the final shot in the preview of Episode 123, Vegeta's hair\nappears to be Darker than the usual SSJB color.

While I agree Devilman Crybaby stands on its own as a story and there\nis no content that is **necessary** to see before or after watching... There\nare plenty of story connections to be found other works such as the manga\ntitled \"Devilman Shin\" and \"Devilman Lady\" which are official sequels, or the\nprequel \"Demon Knight\"_\n\n",

"body": "\n\nTwo reasons (one in-universe and one out-of-universe): character definition\nand familiarity.\n\nCharacter definition (and easy identification) are part of a good story. Say\nyou see an image from an FMA:B episode and you see flames shooting across the\nscreen but can't see who's attacking. Any guesses as to who's lighting it up?\nIf you didn't guess Roy Mustang, well, we need to educate you in the ways of\nFMA:B. See pink sparkles and muscles, who is it? Major Armstrong. Red\nlightning and explosions? Kimblee. The list goes on.\n\nBy giving each person a distinct fighting style, it does a few things for the\nstory. It helps people to differentiate characters. It helps people to find\nsomeone they can admire / relate to / enjoy watching. It also keeps things\ninteresting. Mustang is an absolute terror to fight against. Until you get him\nwet, then he becomes the laughing stock of the show.\n\nAs far as in-universe reasons, I'm sure it has to do with familiarity. For\nexample, Major Armstrong is always shouting about his \"alchemical style that\nhas been passed down the Armstrong line for generations\". That's how he was\ntrained to fight. And he's good at it. It plays to his strengths.\n\nBut think about it. Could Armstrong create a sword if he needed it? Sure, draw\nthe appropriate circle and poof, sword. But I doubt he would be terribly\nefficient with it. Look at the way he moves. He moves like a boxer and\nwrestler. Trying to do that with a sword just wouldn't work. Fighting with\nswords is different from hand to hand combat. Which is different from using\nguns or throwing fireballs or ...\n\nOne other thing to consider is the need for transmutation circles. Most\nalchemists keep their favorite one handy. Armstrong's gauntlet things or\nMustang's gloves have a circle on them to enable their preferred alchemy. I\ndoubt most people keep a plethora of those handy for whatever they need. That\nwould also imply they have the knowledge to use multiple types of alchemy.\nWhile most alchemists can handle the basics, they tend to specialize. There\nare multiple mentions of alchemists who specialize in things like medicinal\nalchemy, chimeras, etc.\n\nI know you've asked about Ed specifically and I'll address that now. Ed is a\nspecial case. He doesn't need a circle, so he should be able to theoretically\ndo whatever he wants. But, as stated above, he may not know enough about a\nparticular type of alchemy to use it effectively. Just because he wants to use\na gun in a fight doesn't make it a good idea. Does he know how to make a good\ngun? Ammo? Can he hit the broad side of a barn even if he had the gun? No, Ed\nis going to use what he knows he can be good with.\n\nNot sure if you are there yet, but Ed was trained by Izumi Curtis. And part of\nthat training was hand-to-hand sparring. So Ed is trained in and comfortable\nwith close quarters combat. So his choices in weapons are going to reflect\nthat. So an arm blade or spear are going to suit him nicely. A gun or cannon\naren't going to make good weapons. Too much potential for collateral damage,\nhurting yourself, etc. especially if you aren't proficient with them. Could he\ntry blowing stuff up like Kimblee? I suppose, but he's just as likely to wound\nhimself as his opponent if he can't control it well.\n\nTL/DR: Ed is trained in close quarters combat. So he picks weapons that play\nto that strength. Anything else would like be a burden or liability if he\ntried it out in real combat for the first time.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThe scene was very different in the manga\n\nShe kicked him and he bit her leg not letting her go and Scouts were on her\ntail. She managed to somehow free herself by blowing Eren's head with a fist.\nHe escaped from Scouts and Eren was on hair tail a moment later.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/cNa2j.jpg)\n\nIn anime its completely different. It seems like scouts are far away and Eren\nis completely defeated. Then she's escaping. And Eren, after moment is chasing\nher down like a mad dog in scene added probably to better foreshadow his titan\npowers.\n\nSo one answer is \"it just wasn't adapted well enough from manga\". But I don't\nthink that's satisfactory.\n\nLet's imagine manga doesn't exist. Annie just defeated Eren and she could\ncapture him easily. And what then? She is in behind a wall Shina which is the\nclosest one to the center. She have miles until she reaches wall Rosa. which\nis a middle one. She wouldn't be able to keep her titan form all the way, she\nwould need a break - in this moment Eren would fight back. In other words,\nthere was no chance to escape, not with Eren. Not when she's alone against him\n\nAlso, this way she would become Soldiers number one target. Leaving Eren\nbehind maybe she hoped at least some of the soldiers would stay behind to keep\nhim safe.\n\nAlso you could argue, that Annie didn't wanted destruction of the city. She\ndefinitely shows more concern about civilians then Eren. She is not a good\nperson, but she showed weakness of mercy many times. Who knows, maybe she\nplanned on escaping outside of wall Shina where Soldiers don't have buildings\nto use to fight her. So if Eren would fallow her, she could easily defeat him.\nBut she didn't realize how strong Eren is and that Mikasa will follow her.\n\nAnother possibility is that she saw his green eyes glowing, so she realized he\nis conscious. If she'd try eating him, he could grab her - and i think we can\nassume she is fast, but he is stronger. So if he can grab her, its game over\nfor her.\n\nAnd like other people mentioned, it's possible she was just scared and\npanicked at this point, but to me it seems a bit out of character for Annie.\nShe is super cold and calm, she showed that while fighting Scouts.\n\n",

An entirely separate business unit within the production Committee.\n\n> Anime opening and ending themes are a big deal not only for fans, but for\n> the creators, and the companies producing anime. Opening themes are a show's\n> \"best foot forward,\" and the staff will usually put quite a bit of effort\n> into coming up with an impressive sequence for whatever song is chosen.\n> Anime production committees, the group of companies putting up money to\n> produce the show, often include a record label or music publisher, and so\n> those theme songs are valuable places to promote their artists.

That's how we very occasionally get English artists doing opening\n> or closing themes. Other times, the production committee will insist on\n> using the songs to push a specific artist, and the director just has to\n> deal.\n>\n> The business of anime vocal tracks is nearly always facilitated by the main\n> production company or another business on the production committee. Many\n> major anime producers also have affiliated record labels -- for example,\n> Bandai Visual owns the record label Lantis, while Aniplex itself is a\n> division of Sony Music Japan. At an early stage, the production committee\n> has a meeting with the director of the anime, and presents him with a pile\n> of pop songs that are in production. These songs are at \"demo\" stage --\n> meaning, they're not done, and usually have a temporary vocal track. The\n> director usually just picks a song from that pile and uses it.

It's not meant to make any kind of sense, and it has a slightly unnerving result because it triggers a deja vu in the watcher.\n\n 2. It lets them try different approaches to the same premise. In the first episode, in addition to the change in voice actors they also subtitled the French segment in the second half. In the second episode, there were different ad libs in the storyboard segment, and the live action section was completely different.\n\n 3. Relatedly, it helps them find the target audience. Given the weirdness of the show, there will definitely be people who watch half an episode, see that it's repeating, and switch off. But the people who keep watching get to join in on the joke, and as a reward they get a few nuggets of new content mixed in with the apparent re-hash. You could compare this to the second season of Haruhi with the \"Endless Eight\" - eight episodes covering the same nearly-identical time loop, which were directed differently so that they wound up being both repetitive and distinct in a way that really divided the audience.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nAccording to an interview done to the producer of the anime, there were\nseveral reasons:\n\n * The animation originally was meant to be broadcasted in web format only, not as a TV series. Then the author asked the producer if it was possible to record two tracks: one with female voice actors and one with males and broadcast the primary track and the auxiliary. This wasn't possible with web streaming.\n\n * Then when they considered a TV broadcast for the series, the episodes weren't long enough to allocate one full slot of broadcast, and unlike previous seasons, they didn't have another series to fill the slot.\n\n * So instead of broadcasting one episode with dual audio as the author requested, they just paid for the entire slot and broadcast the 2 recordings, with male and female actors. There are differences in both because the director and producer give full freedom to the seiyuus to do whatever they wanted (and they didn't like it), and they even modified some scenes according to the actor used (Ep. 3 Bison reference) or their performance in the recording (the Tomokazu Sugita episode). But these were minimal.\n\nThe interview is in Japanese here:\n<https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1517584766>\n\n",

{
"body": "\n\n# Transformations\n\n * Super Saiyan: Any Saiyan with a sufficient amount of S-Cells and increase their battle power, they gain more S-Cells. Once the Saiyan attains enough S-Cells, a feeling of strong anger or sadness can trigger the Super Saiyan transformation. After the transformation is attained once, they can transform into it any time by focusing their energy into their back to make it tingle. Saiyans with a very high amount of S-Cells can do the transformation without requiring a trigger.\n \n\n * Super Saiyan 2: There are multiple ways to attain this transformation. Firstly, a Saiyan must be strong enough to generate a lot more energy compared to the Super Saiyan form. The first way to attain this transformation is when the Saiyan experiences a powerful emotional upheaval, much like the Super Saiyan transformation, but to a greater extent. The second way is through harsh training. The third way is out of instinct from a desperate need such as when someone's life is at stake. Finally, the fourth method is for the Saiyan to feel out the tingly feeling in their back. The power output emitted by this form is greatly increased.\n \n\n * Super Saiyan 3: This form is obtained generally after harsh training and usually under out of the norm circumstances. Goku was able to achieve this form while he was dead and training in the other world. Goten and Trunks managed to achieve it only during fusion. It's basically a transformation that increases the amount of ki utilised.\n \n\n **Important Fact** : Akira Toriyama stated in the Saikyō Jump's June 2014\nInterview that the SSJ2 and SSJ3 transformations are nothing more than powered\nup variants of the SSJ transformation. Hence you could potentially surpass the\npower of SSJ3 or SSJ2 while using the SSJ transformation by either training or\nthrough rage like in the case of Future Trunks and Vegeta. Although Trunks's\nTransformation is referred to as Super Saiyan Rage or Super Saiyan anger, it's\nbasically a powered up variation of SSJ2 which was caused because of rage.\n\nHence to answer your question, there isn't necessarily a regular Super Saiyan\ntransformation which can only be attained by either rage alone or training, it\ncan be attained in both ways. \n \nHowever, the Super Saiyan God transformation can only be attained via the\nritual and not by anger. (Based of the manga), training vigorously with a\nDeity and practicing extensive Ki control could also help you attain this\ntransformation as we see Vegeta use the same against Goku Black in the Manga.\nThe Super Saiyan Blue, on the other hand, can also only be attained by\ntraining vigorously and absorbing the ki of a god and then transforming into a\nSuper Saiyan. Super Saiyan Rose is basically the Super Saiyan Blue\ntransformation when done by an actual deity (Zamasu). Apart from the God\ntransformation, all the regular Super Saiyan transformations can be attained\nthrough training, rage or even when you are in a life or death situation.\nBased on the recent episode, we see Vegeta reach a level beyond Super Saiyan\nBlue without actual training but while feeling a strong urge to protect\nsomeone(Keep up his promise made to Cabba), which could be compared to Gohan\nattaining the SSJ2 transformation when Cell the Baby Cells were beating up the\nZ fighters. So if you possess God ki and can use the transformations,\nattaining a level beyond through rage and emotion like the Super Saiyan\ntransformations seems plausible.\n\nSource: dragonball.wikia.com\n\n",

If two non-Uchiha individuals married and had children, then\nthe children won't be able to awaken the Sharingan.\n\nIn the case of Sasuke-Sakura, Sasuke is an Uchiha and Sakura is not. However,\nSarada has the Uchiha gene in her DNA. Therefore Sarada is able to awaken her\nSharingan\n\nNow to answer your EXACT question about a child inheriting the Sharingan from\ntwo non-Uchiha parents is damn near impossible. But if the child were to get\nan eye from an Uchiha member by transplant, it would then be possible if the\nchild were able to control chakra perfectly and redirect maximum chakra to the\neye. Having said that, it is a known fact that the Sharingan drains the chakra\nreserves considerably. So even if the child inherited the Sharingan he\nwouldn't be able to use it like an Uchiha.\n\n",

Sarada felt\noutcast to her father for not gaining his abilities only to learn it was a\nlack of hardship that hindered her. I believe the relationship between Sakura\nand Saske represents overcoming the fear of losing powers due to diluting them\nwith other bloodlines, and proves that mixing blood(and thus abilities) allows\nfor a stronger offspring, possesing abilities from both families.

Like, she thought \"I'd be way better off with Caster than with\n> Shirou.\" (Laughs) \n> **Nasu:** I never thought of that. Interesting. So in other words, the\n> white dress represents how both her body and soul have been tamed by Caster.\n> So Lily is truly like a \"lily\" to Caster... you crazy bastard, you did it\n> again... \n> **Takeuchi:** Lily's design was inspired by the dress she wore when Saber\n> was captured by Caster. Then, we just filled it with feminine qualities that\n> Saber lacked and it became what it is now. So basically, I think Urobuchi\n> really hit it close to the mark. \n> **Uro:** Really?!

Imagine her appearing from behind Caster, really working those heels!\n> Just thinking of it gets me excited! \n> **Takeuchi:** But in terms of villains, don't we already have Alter? \n> **Uro:** No, she isn't a villain, she's a dark hero. \n> **Nasu:** Alter is an idealist who clings to her own values even though\n> she's been blackened. In that respect, she isn't a pure villain. \n> **Uro:** For example, Alter's like how Hakaider was in Mechanical Violator\n> Hakaider (*8). And Lily is the enemy she would face. The wrinkles in the\n> corners of her eyes are proof to that. She'd shine as a villain. \n> **Nasu:** Then after defeating Lily in battle, Alter would jump on a\n> motorbike in the last scene and ride off into the sunset.

"body": "\n\nWell firstly, this question can't be answered with complete certainty as we\nhaven't seen Vegeta utilize it to its full extent. However, based on episode\n122 and 123, SSJB Goku was shown to be stronger than SSJB Vegeta, probably\ncause of the Multiple Zenkai Boosts throughout the tournament of power. \nHence SSJB+Kaioken*20 Goku is a lot stronger compared to the time he initially\nused it against Jiren.\n\n * Kaioken obviously puts a very heavy strain on the body. So even if Vegeta's new transformation happens to put a greater strain than SSJB, the probability of it straining the body more than Kaioken*20 is very unlikely. Hence Vegeta has the upper hand here.\n * During the course of transformation, The Grand Priest stated that \"Vegeta also broke through his shell\". The _also_ used here indicates that the grand priest is comparing it to Goku attaining UI. Based on episode 123, it's nowhere close to the power of UI Goku, however, based on the grand priest's statement and the spectators referring it to Vegeta's limit breaking power, I think it's fair to assume that it is going to be stronger than SSJB + Kaioken*20 Goku when used to its full extent.\n * Finally, The Kaioken times 20 is just a 20 times multiplier. So to increase the power of the form, Goku will more or less have to increase his strength while utilizing SSJB. SSJB is all about ki control and utilizing God Ki. A superior form of SSJB must definitely have better Ki control and a better utilization of God ki. So Vegeta might very likely be able to get a lot stronger in his new form compared to Goku getting stronger in SSJB making Vegeta relatively stronger.\n * Finally,this isn't a definitive factual evidence, however, SSJB + Kaioken is a powerup given to Goku in the Universe 6 vs 7 arc which was ages ago. The Universe Survival saga has seen a lot of characters being given massive powerups making them a lot stronger. It wouldn't make sense to give Vegeta a new transformation which is weaker than something Goku potentially unlocked a long time ago. Also, the ending shows Vegeta in his new form next to UI Goku, so I would think Vegeta's new form should indeed be superior to a form Goku attained a long time ago \n\n# Additional Proof: Spoiler\n\n> The provisional title of episode 126 is _\"Surpass Even a God! Vegeta's life-\n> risking blow!\"_. This could perhaps be hinting that Vegeta's new\n> transformation is also God tier just like UI Goku.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nFirst of all, this is speculation, since you asked about 'what if'.\n\nI believe to answer your question, we first need to understand Gotoh's\npersonality. From what the story depicted, we can fairly well assume that\nGotoh cared deeply for Killua. With that in mind, we can say that regardless\nof the outcome of the game, Killua would not have been killed.\n\nAs for Gon, Kurapika and Leorio, I believe he wanted to test them, probably by\nseeing how they would react to the different situations he created during the\ngame. The reason for that would be because the Zoldyck are assassins, which\nmeant that they for sure are hated by a lot of people (e.g. victims of the\nfamily's assassinations) and any strangers posed a threat, Gon & Co were no\nexception. The fact that they passed the Testing Gate and Canary was proof\nthat they were no ordinary people and carried the potential of harming the\nZoldyck.\n\nDuring the game itself, he tried to see how far Gon & Co would go for Killua,\nas far as doing something that would not benefit them in any way; saying that\nhe would kill Canary, a member of Zoldyck's household, if they lose (in the\nevent Gon wanted to harm the Zoldyck and lost, resulting in Canary getting\nkilled, it would be in Gon & Co's advantage to have less people to fight\nagainst, and thus would likely not take the game as seriously, but this is\nstraying a bit too far).\n\nAt that point, if Gon really lost, it can be hard to say what would have\nhappened, but I would tend to believe that following Gon's reaction, Gotoh\ndetermined then that they meant no harm to Killua. Should Gon have lost, Gotoh\ncould possibly have instead refused them meeting with Killua assuming that Gon\nwas not strong enough to protect Killua if needed.\n\nConversely, I believe that if the way Gon reacted during the game was\ndifferent, hinting that Gon couldn't be trusted, only then, would Gotoh\nattempt to kill the three of them.\n\n",

So in other words, it is no technically a\nHP bar. However, in regular Pokemon battles, a time constraint wouldn't\ntechnically be possible because:\n\n * There's not actual HP Bar to determine which Pokemon has more health.\n * Battles generally allow trainers to switch Pokemon and hence one Pokemon might start off with lesser health compared to the other and the time constraint wouldn't be fair while determining which Pokemon has more health left.\n * Finally, most anime battles(Ash's battles), involve Ash having trouble in the start and then overcoming the difficulty and beating his opponent. This concept wouldn't work again with a time constraint\n\nHowever, in the games, a time limit exists because trainers could potentially\nkeep stalling, keep spamming the same moves etc in a repetitive manner causing\nthe battle to go on for hours.\n\n",

So far though, the only thing we know that is equivalent in value to a\nperson's alchemical gate is a human life (from when Ed traded his gate for\nAlphonse's body and soul).\n\nSo to get his gate back he would need a couple things. First would be some way\nto get to the Truth so the exchange could be made. Al could provide this since\nhe still has his gate and knowledge from his encounter with the Truth. Second,\nsomeone else would need to help perform the exchange. Since Ed can't use\nalchemy at all, someone else would need to perform the transmutation. While it\nis unknown if someone else can sacrifice something to re-create someone else's\ngate, I am assuming it is possible. Nothing in the show has shown that a\nsuccessful transformation cannot be reversed.\n\nThe last part is the toll to be exchanged for the gate. Given Ed's character,\nall the struggles they went through to avoid using philosopher's stones /\nhuman transmutation and the character growth that led to him being ok with\nsacrificing his gate in the first place, this becomes the biggest sticking\npoint. Ed won't do it. Nor would he allow someone to do it for him.\n\nTL/DR: It seems to be possible but Ed would never let it happen. Life is too\nprecious to him for him to allow it.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nHmm, I think there's some assumptions in your question that needed to be\nfixed. First is that Father didn't opened the \"Moon\" gateway but opened the\nroom for \"God\" that alchemy presents once there's eclipse, and that's also\npart of the question.\n\nIn ep61, after Father opened \"God\" gateway in the end of ep60, it's starts\nwith Ed and Al reading in the alchemy book about Sun to be male and present\nthe man specie, while the Moon does it for the female, and their combination\n(or eclipse) presents complete existence, non-male and non-female. Ed\nconcludes it's not something just incredible but \"God\" (since God can't have\nmale/female references).*\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/6YMMD.png)\n\nBacking to ep26, Ed explains the transmutation circle in Gluttony's tummy\n\"Drop God to the ground and become perfect existence\". al this coming together\nto the final events of FMA09 where Father fulfil that purpose, but to gain\nsuch power to pull out \"God\" he needed to open Earth gateway to achieve great\npower, **only to pull out \"god\"**.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/WkEhS.png)\n\nFrom here I will make some speculation, but based on above references they'r\nprobably be true.\n\nFirst of all, I fixed what you claimed to be \"Moon gateway\", we see that\nalchemy doesn't treat it that way, and more than that, though Father explained\nin ep60 that Earth has it's own gateway it seems that it used as you said\nbecause the power of alchemy. Once we will take the explanation of the alchemy\nsource, it won't be far to say that even in other planets like Mars there's a\ngate, but the problem is the **price** \\- in order to open Earth gate Father\nneeded to sacrifice the whole Amestris, who you gonna sacrifice opening Mars\ngate? it's empty of people.\n\nEither than that, because Alcehmy FMA09 presented, it treated only the eclipse\nas \"perfect existence\" you wouldn't able to gain \"God\" powers from Mars like\nfrom the eclipse but only as much info the planet have, and unlike earth that\ncontains people using alchemy, Mars gateway may not be strong as earth.\n\nSo though there's no evidence for other planets gateway it possible, FMA09\ndon't treating those beings because there's probably not much point in those,\nor the other way around - there's no gateway.\n\nOnce again, all this speculations based on the above, hope I answered much of\nyour question.\n\n*All the translation from the Anime is from non-english source, if there's some other version I will be glad to be enlighten.\n\n",

Their loyalty to\nhim is too perfect, so its restricting and requires a lot of orders. The only\ntime they would go against his words is if it was to make him seem more like\nthe awesome and unbeatable leader they view him as.\n\nCocytus was given orders to subjucate the Lizardmen, while at the same time\ngiven numerous restrictions that made it extremely difficult for him to\nsucceed. Cocytus acknowledged that he was unlikely to win, but went ahead\nanyway and tried before failing. The goal was to help Cocytus realize his\nshortcomings with completely following Ainz orders every single time, and to\nhelp him grow as a commander by realizing why this situation was so difficult\nand how he could have solved it.\n\nSo what his true goal was, was to both help Cocytus learn how to win a\ndifficult battle, and secondly to help the guardians to better interpret and\nquestion his orders so that they would follow the intentions rather than the\nwords themselves. Cocytus somewhat learns this by his suggestion to (not yet\nseen in the anime, but found in manga chapter 22/23)\n\n> To not exterminate the Lizardmen, but instead to subjugate them.\n\nAinz knows he is not perfect, but the guardians do think he is, to a dangerous\nlevel. Though it may be a ploy, Demiurge constantly suggest good ideas that\nAinz doesn't seem to think of, and then says that Ainz was implying it or\nwaiting for someone else to come to that conclusion as a test. Regardless,\neveryone else seems to agree that Ainz thought of these ideas first, not\nDemiurge due to his praise. He wants to lessen that to some degree so that the\nGuardians stop saying his decisions are all that matters, and so that they\ncontribute their own thoughts to discussions.\n\nAs a shining example, in chapter 27, Ainz has 2 options on how to deal with a\nspecific issue with the Lizardman (see the next spoiler), and with only 2\noptions, he asks all of the guardians present what to do, and everyone says\nthat they will agree with whatever Ainz decides to do.\n\n> The situation being on weather to test the Resurrection wand on any of the\n> dead leaders of the Lizardman tribe, since Cocytus killed all of them except\n> the White female Cruche in a duel to decide if they would be under Ainz's\n> rule or not.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nAs of November 2022, you cannot find with google any declaration from the\ncharacter designer Akiko Takase (高瀬亜貴子) nor novel writer Akatsuki Kana (暁佳奈)\nthat proves that Violet Evergarden is inspired by Saber from Fate.\n\n> Since there is no declaration from the creators, we cannot answer, \"Did\n> Violet Evergarden creators use Saber from Fate/stay as inspiration\"\n> truthfully.\n\nAs such, the general public and courts are limited to answer this question\nbased on facts.\n\nWhile not conclusive, this is a relevant fact to consider in light of the\nalready obvious visual similarities:\n\n 1. The first work in the Fate/stay universe that includes Saber was [first published in January 30, 2004](http://www.typemoon.com/products/fate/index.html). The series went to create a large universe in which Saber is a recurrent identifiable element. **By 2015, it had[published well over 10 sequels](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type-Moon#Fate_series) or spin offs, and over 4 animes showing Saber.**\n\n 2. Violet Evergarden (light novel) was first [published in December 25, 2015](https://www.kyotoanimation.co.jp/books/violet/books/).\n\nTherefore, Takase and Kana had at least 10 years to get wind of the successful\nFate Series, and its flagship, _Saber_. It would be difficult to prove that\nthey had no contact with any Saber visual content. This is even harder if you\nconsider how artists/designers are advised to research existing works when\ntrying to develop a new original work in order to avoid copyright\ninfringement.\n\nIn the end, while there is no conclusive answer, the reality is that within\nInternet, too many people report finding similarities between Saber and\nViolet, making it so that popularly, they are identified as inspired on one\nanother.\n\nLastly, please note that it is not only about visual similarities. Both Saber,\nViolet Evergarden, Alice Zuberg (from SAO Alicization) share a character\narchetype of: -blond noble knight- a heroine with a kind heart and the\nbehaviour/mindset of a knight; wearing blond hair with bangs and western\nknight looking attire.\n\n",

Nagato got badly injured and\ndamaged during his battle with Hanzo (the same one when Yahiko died). He was\nunable to move after that. Hanzo was still alive though. Nagato wanted to\navenge Yahiko and he also wanted to continue their dream previous dream of\npeace (although his sense of peace got distorted). So Nagato still had to\nfight. That is why he created the Six Paths of Pain technique to allow himself\nto continue fighting and use his Rinnegan abilities. Secondly, he was very\nfond of Yahiko. He used Yahiko's body to form the strongest Deva Path. In\nterms of abilities, he was superior to the other paths.\n\nAs for what happened to Yahiko's body afterwards, well after Nagato died in\nthe Hidden Leaf after the battle with Naruto, Konan retrieved the bodies of\nboth Yahiko and Nagato and buried them in the Hidden Rain Village. And that is\nwhere Yahiko's body rests.\n\n",
