And the whole opening song is all about\ncrab, and sometimes Steve Jobs make some appearance like two pictures above\nrandomly. The anime it self has nothing to do with crab. What's with that? Why\nSteve Jobs? Why crabs?\n\n",

First \"Aiura\" is pronounced the same way as \"iUra\", like an apple\n> product, hence Steve Jobs in the OP. On the other hand the Tale of Heike\n> says that the spirits of samurai who fell during the battle of Dan-no-Ura\n> are carried by Heike crabs, and that's why their backs sort of look like a\n> human face. That explains why there are crabs everywhere in the OP, which\n> happen to also be linked with Steve Jobs since he died from cancer.

"body": "\n\nIt's not that Human Transmutation is impossible in the sense that it doesn't\nwork, it's just that it very very rarely goes the way people want it.\n\nas with any other Transmutation, Human Transmutation is still governed by the\nlaw of Equivalent Exchange where the input must be equal to the output,\nfailing to do so results in a\n[rebound](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/22296/1587) where the\ntransmutation forces are thrown out of balance.\n\n> In the manga, it is determined that resurrective Human Transmutation is\n> impossible because a soul that has left the mortal coil has passed on into\n> the afterlife and can never be called back by human means. The attempt will\n> cause a rebound due to both the inherent lack of any particular substance\n> able to match a human soul in value and the fact that the initiated\n> transmutation is reaching for an unattainable goal. Of the known attempted\n> Human Transmutations, the rebound has been the \"taking\" of parts of the\n> initiator's body out of the living world and into the void of the flow (in\n> the case of the Elric brothers' attempted transmutation of their mother,\n> Edward's left leg and Alphonse's entire body were taken and in the case of\n> Izumi Curtis' attempt to revive her dead child, several of her internal\n> organs were taken). It should be noted that the size of the body parts taken\n> are generally equal to the size of the human being transmuted, in accordance\n> with the law of Equivalent Exchange.\n\nSource: [Alchemy > Human Transmutation > Resurrection (2nd\nparagraph)](http://fma.wikia.com/wiki/Human_Transmutation#Resurrection)\n\nRemember that with both Trisha Elric and Izumi's child both showed signs of\n\"life\"\n\nas for how the body was still alive years after, we can suspect it was more\nbecause of a Soul Binding or something similar\n\n> Rosalie leads Al to a room with what appears to be a little girl's shriveled\n> corpse inside. She reveals this as the result of the real Rosalie's\n> transmutation, while she herself is a girl named Amy, who was adopted due to\n> her similar appearance to Rosalie. Alphonse is surprised to learn that it is\n> not in fact a corpse, but is alive, **in a way similar to him**.\n\nSource: [Bonus Episode: The Blind Alchemist >\nSynopsis](http://fma.wikia.com/wiki/Bonus_Episode:_The_Blind_Alchemist)\n\nand in the manga, when Ed exhumes Trisha's body which Pinako buried, Ed learns\nthat what it wasn't Trisha that he and Al resurrected as her hair colour and\nbone structure were different, so the \"life\" in Rosalie may have not really\nbeen her but some other soul if the body was comparable to a suit armor like\nAl's (in this case, a suit of fleshy armor)\n\nOfcause there's also the possibly that what \"life\" there was in Rosalie was\nnot even human as showing signs of life doesn't equal being human as the\nHomuncli aren't human and Father's/Dwarf's body is described by Van Hohenheim\nhas being a Leather Bag no different from his original flask\n\n",

The Purgatory is a space between the living\nand the afterlife. It is similar to how Meliodas didn't move go to the\nafterlife and instead went to the Purgatory.

Is it an ironic aside?\nOr is it a pause in the action to let the characters (and reader) consider?\n\nAnd, what is the history of this?

"body": "\n\n## Breaking the fourth wall\n\n**The fourth wall** is a name for the convention that in a play/movie/comic\nbook, the audience can see the characters, but the characters are unaware of\nthe audience and the world outside.\n\nA way of **breaking the fourth wall** is for a character to look straight into\nthe spectator's eyes, showing that she is aware that she is inside a fictional\nstory being watched by an audience. It involves the audience in the story and\nis often, but not always, used as a comic effect. It's used countless times in\nmovies (Oliver Hardy, Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers etc.) and in comics in\nparticular (too many to mention).\n\nThe first example enhances the effect of breaking the wall by simplifying the\ndrawings. This makes it even more obvious that the illusion is broken - the\ncharacter is aware that she is in a story. In that moment she sees her life\nsimplified - as in a comic (which it is, but she's not supposed to know).\n\nIf the character speaks briefly to the audience (like in your first example),\nit can be called an **aside**. This little comment is normally not heard by\nthe other characters.\n\n[Wikipedia on _Fourth wall_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_wall)\n\n[Wikipedia on _Aside_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aside)\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIt's called an [Art\nShift](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArtShift), traditionally\nused in western media for homages, parodies, or flashbacks; _e.g._ [Tracer\nBullet](http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1991/02/26) or when Calvin and\nSusie [play house](http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1989/7/9) in\n_Calvin and Hobbes_. These art shifts usually last for one or more scenes,\noften for the duration of a specific subplot. The Japanese use art shifts in a\nvery different way-- single-shot/panel shifts are quite common in anime and\nmanga, and are used for comedic emphasis. _Kimi ni Todoke_ , for example, uses\nthis [quite frequently](https://i.stack.imgur.com/LN0KF.jpg) ( _Kimi ni\nTodoke_ vol. 10 / ch. 42 spoilers). It is often used in conjunction with other\nanime/manga tropes ([Cross Popping\nVeins](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrossPoppingVeins), [Dull\nEyes of\nUnhappiness](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DullEyesOfUnhappiness),\n[Giving Up the\nGhost](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GivingUpTheGhost),\n[Nosebleed](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NoseBleed), [Snot\nBubble](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SnotBubble), [Sweat\nDrop](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SweatDrop), [Visible\nSigh](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VisibleSigh), [Kewpie Doll\nSurprise](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KewpieDollSurprise),\netc.) to convey emotion humorously, or on a [specific\ncharacter](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NonStandardCharacterDesign)\nto show that they're acting in a way that's different from the rest of the\nworld. It can also be used on a group of characters to show a sudden (and\nusually temporary) shift in tone. Shifting into a\n[chibi](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SuperDeformed) art style\nusually implies a comedic or\n[moe](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Moe) tone.\n\nAs to your specific examples, the art shift creates an emphasis on joke-- in\nthe first example, how Faye is forced to\n[subvert](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SubvertedTrope) her usual\n[threats of\nviolence](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IneffectualDeathThreats),\nand in the second example, how Faye [completely misssed the\npoint](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ComicallyMissingThePoint).\n\n",

MadHouse\nclearly wanted us to understood that from that scene, in fact, his suicide\nscene in the anime make much more sense in the psychological way than in the\nmanga, he dedicate his life for believing that Light is god and then he sees\nhis own beloved \"god\" swimming in his own blood, there's no bigger mental\nshock than this.\n\nTo come and say that the anime cutting that scene for make Mikami not\ndisappointed is exaggerate, Mikami sure looked disappointed from Light when he\ndenied him, but after that Light talked to him about his mistake so he may\nregain his faith in him, but saying Mikami made suicide _to let Light ran\naway_ is also exaggerating, human that reached to level where he decide to\nmake suicide usually make those awful choices from hating their own lives and\ndepression, not from some kind of \"I will suicide to let him ran away\",\nespecially not from the look of Mikami before his own suicide, **he clearly\nwere not only disappointed from Light, but felt disappointed from his life for\ndedicating it for that _god_ that swimming in his own blood**, and I think it\nis clear enough.\n\n## Conclusion\n\n * Mikami did disappointed by Light at the end and didn't believed in him, and not only that **but hated himself for following such \"god\"**, he killed himself.\n * Though Mikami's suicide _benefit_ Light to escape, it only made by MadHouse to **create different ending** than the manga where Light died less humiliating.\n * It's unthinkable to say that Mikami made suicide to benefit Light to ran away, because even if it is, it's not 100% that Light would succeeded doing this, to risk your life for someone who just terribly humiliatingly lost and disappointed you for such low percentage of running **it's too exaggerating** , even for Death Note.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThere are a few inaccuracies in your question.\n\n * Firstly, Goku was in his base form when Freiza hit him with the Hakai energy and he didn't turn SSJB or Kaioken. In episode 125, we see the Destruction energy capable of destroying all forms of energy, so it is very likely Goku couldn't turn SSJB while he was stuck inside the energy ball. Freiza, on the other hand, was in his golden form and strong enough to break out of it.\n * Based on the fight after, we see SSJB Goku per tournament was on the same level as Golden Freiza. It has to be noted that Goku in his SSJB from grew substantially stronger because of multiple Zenkai boosts.\n * UI Goku was fighting against a very suppressed Jiren. UI Goku against Kefla was a lot stronger and she was strong enough to take blows from him(Which remarked by Whis weren't powerful as Goku hadn't mastered the attack portion of UI yet). Current Jiren is using a lot more power than he did then.\n\nVegeta's new form before his fight with Toppo, was relative in power to\nSSJB+Kaioken*20 Goku(The stronger SSJB Goku), hence making him a lot stronger\nthan Golden Freiza. Freiza in his golden form is even weaker than characters\nlike Anilaza and Kefla in terms of strength. Toppo in his God of destruction\nform, was stronger than Kefla who was at that time the third strongest(With 1\nbeing Jiren and 2 being Goku). This is why we see Vegeta overwhelmed by Toppo\nduring the initial stage of his fight. When Vegeta powered up after, he\nreached a level of strength a lot stronger than Kefla and Toppo but weaker\nthan UI Goku and hence was able to knock out Toppo.\n\nDuring the fight between Universe 7 vs Anilaza(We see 3 SSJB tier characters\n(And let us assume Gohan and Android 17 are even SSJB tier which they\ndefinitely aren't), so 5 SSJB characters being able to hold their own in a\nbeam struggle with Anilaza. Kaioken * 20 SSJB Goku is the same power\nmultiplied 20 times and UI Goku is immensely stronger compared to Kaioken\nGoku. Vegeta's form is relative to this(initially) and he was a lot stronger\nthan Freiza when he first fought Toppo which is why he wasn't completely Toyed\naround with.\n\n",

Freezer also could\nhandle Sidra's hakai energy ball, and he couldnt with Toppo's hakai. I agree\nwith you that Freezer is in the level of Goku in super saiyan blue because\nthat is mentioned in the series. And I agree that Goku super saiyan blue\nkaioken and Vegeta ultra super saiyan blue might be in a similar level (though\nwe dont know which kaioken Goku was using, ie, x5, x10, x20, etc.) 17 is close\nto a super saiyan blue, so for Toppo to overpower Freezer and 17 he has to be\nmore powerful than 2 super saiyan blue. But between the power of 2 super\nsaiyan blue, and the power of 20 super saiyan blue (which might be the power\nof ultra super saiyan blue Vegeta, since he's similar to Goku who might have\nbeen using super saiyan blue kaioken x20) there is a lot of room. So for\nexample, Toppo could have the power of 10 super saiyan blue, and Vegeta still\nbeing superior to him having the power of 20 super saiyan blue.\n\nAlso, I dont agree Vegeta defeated Toppo easily. He was depleted of energy and\nsome of his attacks failed awfully. Toppo and Vegeta seems to be close in\npower, personally I think Toppo is close to the power of 20 super saiyan blue\nsince he's close to Vegeta and he's close to Goku who probably was using the\nsuper saiyan blue kaioken x20.\n\n",

However, the storage begins\nto deteriorate before this stage, as shown where Isla's mental statistics\ndecrease over time, which the technician says is irreversible. This\ndeterioration does not affect the lifespan of the Gifta, which we know as,\ndespite this, Isla's memory does not expire any earlier than it normally\nwould.\n\nThe exact timing of the turning is determined by the point in time in which\nthe entirety of the Giftia's memory is consumed, with slight variations,\npresumably caused by either the initial size of the OS which was written to\nit, or the weight of the memories the Giftia creates. On this theory, the\nmemory of a Giftia must be consumed at a constant rate, including during\nsleep, at which time the data being stored would be the equivalent to plain 0s\non a computer hard drive, resulting in a simple blank memory of the event,\nwhich still takes up space in the Giftia's memory.\n\nThe exact size of the Giftias memory storage is probably what it is for the\nsole purpose of having it expire after 9 years and 4 months, which is only of\nsignificance as an external reference to contribute to the story's morals as\nmentioned previously by user Tony Dutra, and hasn't intentionally been\nimplemented by SAI.\n\n> ... 81920 hours equates to 9 years and 4 months.

Takashi Takeuchi convinced to Nasu to change the gender of Saber but\n> the essential theme had not been changed, it's the story about legendary\n> heroes and \"a boy meets a girl.\"\n\nSource: [Saber (Fate/Stay Night) > Development > Creation and\nConception](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Saber_\\(Fate/stay_night\\)#Creation_and_Conception)\n\nIn regards to Mordred, originally when Mordred first appeared in one of the\nType-Moon Character material books Kinoko Nasu originally hadn't decided what\nMordred's gender would be until _Fate/Apocrypha_ and originally was siding on\nkeeping Mordred male, however after Takashi Takeuchi put the idea of adding\nMordred into the lineup it was thought 2 feminine male characters would be too\nmuch\n\n> Mordred first made an appearance in Type-moon's Character material book,\n> with Takashi Takeuchi responsible for the character design. At that time\n> Kinoko Nasu hadn't decided on Mordred's gender until Fate/Apocrypha. It was\n> Takeuchi's idea to put Mordred as a new addition to Fate/Apocrypha.

A man with that sort of outward\n> appearance is... well, I guess a certain kind of person would consider it a\n> prize, anyway. **1** (laughs)\"\n>\n> Higashide: Saber was originally going to be male like the legend, but it was\n> thought that having two male characters look feminine, the other being Rider\n> of Black, was too much.\n\nSource: [Saber of Red > References > Citation 4: TYPE-MOON Ace Vol. 8 -\nFate/Apocrypha interview with Yuichiro Higashide & Nasu Kinoko, p.080 What's\nMordred's gender?](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Mordred#cite_note-TMA-3)\n\n* * *\n\nAs for why, in universe, Mordred refers to herself as Arturia's \"Son\" she\ncould be well aware of her own legend. the Arthurian Legends in the Nasuverse\nis still closely related to ours and in _Fate/Stay Night_ when Shirou\ndiscovers Arturia's identity as King Arthur he does talk about how the Legend\nof King Arthur wasn't clear on who the King was pointing out that some legends\nsuggested that King Arthur was a group of people.\n\nsince we know that when a Servant is summoned they are given extra knowledge\nto adapt to the time period (ie. Arturia's abilities to ride a Motor Bike, not\nthinking that the Airplane she flew in on was magic) we could suspect that\nMordred is made aware of her Legend.\n\nThere is also the fact she wanted to be King and the King is generally the Son\nof the previous King but aside from that still male. Merlin helped create the\nillusion Arturia was male by making into a ~~futanari~~ psudo-male so she\ncould conceive a child with Guinevere so Mordred may keep saying \"Son\" to keep\nthe idea and she can replace her \"Father\"\n\nThere is also the fact that she abhors any discussion of her gender and\ndisplayed clear killing intention even towards her own Master, saying with no\nuncertainty that the topic is never to be brought up before her. though\nhaven't not seen _Fate/Apocrypha_ or read it properly i do not know what the\ndiscussion entailed and what she abhors about it (is it people referring to\nher as a woman or man? or that she could be like Nero and doesn't consider\nGender an issue)\n\nOut of Universe, we can probably speculate that either\n\n * Takashi Takeuchi just has a thing for it which is why so many of the [Saberfaces](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Saberface) using Arturia's design are Gender Reverse from their historical basis (Nero, Okita) and is projecting that in the Nasuverse (do we really believe he didn't suggest Female Mordred for the _Fate/Apocrypha_ lineup when putting the idea into Kinoko Nasu's head)\n\n * Simply people like cute girls. Taro Yoko, the creator of _Nier: Automata_ said it himself [when being asked](https://archive.fo/d8dMy) why he designed 2B like he did. ~~Medea~~ Takashi [loves how cute Arturia looks](https://i.stack.imgur.com/qVoX2.jpg) and obviously the fans love them too, more so when you consider that the manga's target demographic is Shōnen and Seinen which are both male audiences which we can probably attribute to having been the same for the original Eroge Visual Novel and character design often is influenced by target audience (ie. why most Vampires in female oriented works (Kaname Kuran in _Vampire Knight_ , Angel and Spike in _Buffy_ and _Angel_ ) are handsome men)\n\n* * *\n\n1: i believe he's talking about Takashi here give [his noble\nphantasm](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Takashi_Takeuchi)\n\n",

You assume\nthat the names are coincidences for everyone (even that is very unlikely) and\ndo not forget that some characters were not so different in Edolas, like\nGajeel. They were very similar in personality, and also Coco seems very\nsimilar in both cases. (Note: Earthland Coco was a filler in the anime. Along\nwith Sugarboy, Hughes, and Byro)\n\nAlso, remember how in Fairy Tail Battle with Laxus Natsu and Gajeel were for\nsome reason considered \"over 80 years of age\"? Well the reason for that is\nrevealed up ahead in the plot, which is that:\n\n> They are actually over 400 years old. Including Wendy as well.\n\nIf you see things this way, there is no way Edo-Natsu (or Edo-Wendy or even\nEdo-Gajeel) would have been there when Natsu, Happy, Wendy, and Carla visited\nEdolas, since we are sure that with Edo-people, they don't have the same\ncircumstances as the actual Fairy Tail members.\n\n**In Conclusion:** I think that is an unplanned mistake; unless it is\nintended, but say if Gajeel, Natsu, and Wendy weren't in Edolas then that\nwould raise a question too early, since the answer is revealed quite a long\ntime after. Perhaps Hiro had to make things that way.\n\n",

In a technicality, Dio should be able to\nmove like Jotaro can, but this is not the case. Time Stop can allow for\nmultiple stand users to stop time at the same time or at different intervals\nif they can move in stopped time.\n\n> Jotaro can stop time for 5 seconds and he uses it (refer to time stop) in\n> the 9th second of DIO's time stop, and at this moment, Za Warudo's time stop\n> has been replaced by Star Platinum's and DIO can only move for 2 seconds.

(quoted from\n> previous answers)\n\nThere is, however, a theory that Time Stop can overlap if 2 stands use it,\nthus leading to the effect of Dio being able to seemingly keep moving after\nhis previous limit was achieved. As stated in the Anime, his peak limit of\ntime stop duration was 11 seconds. Seeing as how Jotaro supposedly stopped\ntime for 5 seconds and stopped it at the 9th second of Dio's Time Stop while\nmoving in stopped time, this evidence can support this theory as the visual\nand audio effects of Time Stop going into effect is only seen when time is\nflowing like normal.\n\nAs for the road roller, I can kinda see why Dio would want to make sure Jotaro\nis dead by crushing him with the heaviest thing he could find. Like he said,\n\"You can never be too careful when handling with the Joestars.\" Where he found\nthe road roller is what stumps me.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nCounterattack and time stop are the same thing. Jotaro had barely enough time.\nThe second between 7-8 is the ora barrage [1.5 seconds] (it seems like 7-9.5\nin the anime because the animators had to fit all the text said in the manga\nin even though realistically it finishes their time stop just talking.)\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/DY74J.jpg)\n\nAt this exact moment, at 8 seconds, Jotaro resumes his own time, waiting until\nsecond 9 so Dio thinks he's dead, and to save some of his own time. I know\nthis because he said, \"I stopped time at 9 secondes\" meaning time for him was\nresumed somewhere beforehand. Then he stopped time again and sneaks out of the\nroller. This takes a second. So far Jotaro has used 2 of his 5 seconds. Jotaro\nuses another second to get behind Dio [3/5 sec] and one to walk closer to him\nand wait for him to completely stop moving [4/5]. By now it's second 11 as he\nstated, and he only has 1 more second to punch Dio, and do any \"badass\ntalking\", which he does, also he concentrated his power into 1 kick to the\nshins instead of a weak ora barrage, this is a strategic move because the last\ntime he punched his stomach/head and Dio managed to escape. This takes up his\nlast second.\n\nAlso if you are wondering why Jotaro has 5 seconds and not 2, it's because\nwhen Dio got Joseph's blood, Jotaro got mad. It's known that how long the time\nstop is depends on the user's stamina. Dio is a vampire, so he has lots of it.\nJotaro does not, but when people get mad and adrenaline is flowing it's known\nthat they got stronger. There are many stories of regular people lifting cars\nto help their family members from being crushed, and running extremely fast\nwhen in danger. The increase in stamina I believe is something like this,\nmaybe combined with the fact the Jotaro may have gotten the hang of time stop\nand was concentrating more. Also for further proof, Jotaro has explicitly\nstated that at his \"prime\" (which is now) he could stop time for 5 seconds.\n\n",

These shows\nare marketed to teenagers, and teenagers aren't spending $80 for three or four\nepisodes of Naruto. The series is made to drive sales of the manga, and the\naction figures, and the fighting games.\n\nIt's not about the popularity of the series, but the collector's market. The\npeople who spend money on this stuff in Japan are largely not into Naruto. For\nexample:\n\nBoruto is averaging **745** copies sold for each volume.\n\nLast year's big hit Yuri on Ice is selling an average of **69,520** copies.\n\nSo no Japanese record label is likely to go all out and publish the complete\nNaruto soundtrack. They'd never earn what it costs to press the CDs.\n\nSo why don't the American distributors who sell Naruto put out the soundtrack?\n\nWell, that's a separate license, and few are willing to pay. Since the days of\nGeneon going out of business, the anime soundtracks you CAN buy outside Japan\nare usually just imports.\n\n",

This transformation made him strong enough\nto at least hold his own against SSJR Black and made his power slightly\nrelative to Blue. He easily surpassed SSJ3 Goku at this point. His power would\nbe relative to current Mystic Gohan and Android 17 who are stronger than SSJG\nand more or less relative to SSJB tier(Not stronger).\n\nAs for trunks getting stronger, No, his fight with Goku or Vegeta didn't give\nhim any Zenkai boosts. A saiyan attains a Zenkai boost when he is in a\nsituation where his life is at stake. Goku merely took him out with one shot\nand Vegeta obviously didn't try to kill his son! The fight against Goku was\nSuper trying to show where Trunks's power stacks up to the Z fighters now, as\nhe hasn't come on for a very long time. His fight against Vegeta, was very\nlikely a throwback to their training in Z and to create a father-son moment\nbetween a newly changed Vegeta(In terms of character) and Future Trunks.\n\nWe know the SSJ transformation is generally caused by rage. We've also seen\npowerups in SSJ transformations by characters when they are angry or someone's\nlife is at stake. Example: Vegeta in his SSJ2 form against Beerus, Goku in his\nSSJB form against Black and Zamasu, Vegeta in his SSJB form against G.O.D\nToppo. Trunks similarly, attained a very powerful rage transformation in this\nmanner.\n\n",

Numbers in the OP world can mean a lot and him being in the New World with just a single ship and exceptional crew members who are known to be great at Haki (Beckman, Lucky Roo and Yasopp). \n 2. **Former Cabin Boy of the Pirate King, Roger** \\- He was known to be a part of Roger's Crew with Buggy, although this doesn't mean much because of the latter's credibility, being part of the crew might help him develop his Haki.\n 3. **Haki Strength** \\- Shanks is shown to be a master of 2 types of Haki, Armament and especially Conqueror's Haki, greatly depicted when he boarded Whitebeard's ship. He also used to occasionally fight with Mihawk, the World's Greatest Swordsman before his arm got severed. \n\nJust these three alone would make you fear the red-haired Pirate. Also, he\ninterrupted Kaido's attempt to attack Whitebeard during the `Battle of\nMarineford` and stopped said battle by just announcing the war is over which\nprompted Sengoku to do it which proves that Shanks is definitely someone you\ndon't mess with.\n\nIf he can stop Kaido, the World Government/Marines, and make Blackbeard shiver\nthen this just proves my point.\n\n**TL;DR** Big Mom is afraid of Shanks because he's just too powerful for her.\n\n",

The main reasons expressed there are:\n\n * It is not an immunity, it is an _ability to nullify_ Commandments.\n * She forgot that she had this protection on her (the blessing happened 3000 years prior to the main story), which explains why she still suffered the effect.\n\nAs for \"Is it a valid reason to explain something that should have not\nhappened\", it is an open question on which everyone might have his opinion.\n\n",

Here is the\n[wiki](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Donquixote_Family) article for that:-\n\n> Dressrosa was one of the 20 Kingdoms that fought the Great Kingdom. The\n> Donquixote family originally ruled Dressrosa but the family moved to\n> Mariejois and were replaced by the Riku Family.\n\nDoflamingo was a World Noble when he was born but his Father left that\nposition when Doflamingo was young. Here is the\n[wiki](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Donquixote_Family) article.\n\n> Forty-one years ago, the child Donquixote Doflamingo was born in the noble\n> bloodline, and two years after, the second child Rosinante was born. After\n> enjoying eight short years of the Celestial Dragons' privileged lifestyle,\n> Doflamingo was evicted from such luxuries when his father, Donquixote\n> Homing, abdicated their status as World Nobles in order to live a normal\n> life with his family of four; Homing was always considered by his\n> compatriots as blasphemous and disgrace to the title of World Nobles.\n> However, Doflamingo was still clinging onto his heritage by asking his\n> father to buy more slaves and demand subservience from commoners, an\n> attitude that Homing intended to reform.\n>\n> The family took residence in a country in the North Blue, which has no ties\n> to the World Government. As a last favor, the Government has prepared an\n> adequate manor and financial assets for the family to live with. Although\n> Homing wished for a humble and peaceful life with his family among humanity,\n> away from Mariejois' spoiling nature, little did he knew at the time that\n> the island they resided on was filled with people who bear deep grudges\n> against the Celestial Dragons, which would, in the future, become a stepping\n> stone to Doflamingo's descend to darkness.\n>\n> Shortly after taking residence in the country, when it became known that the\n> Donquixote Family are former World Nobles, their manor was burned to the\n> ground by angry victims of the Celestial Dragons, and the family was forced\n> to hideout in a small shack in the junkyard, much to Doflamingo's disgust.\n> Barely escaping from constant pursuit, Homing tried to contact Mariejois to\n> save his sons and wife, but the Celestial Dragons retorted how the family\n> cannot return from their choices and coldly hung up. Consequently, the\n> family was stuck living in poverty and on the run, and the two children were\n> beaten up when they tried to steal food; they resorted to eating out of\n> trash bins, and though they brought some food for their mother, she died\n> from illness brought by the deplorable household, much to her family's\n> broken hearts. Eventually, the three remaining Donquixote Family members\n> were found and caught, and then hanged onto a wall above flames, tortured\n> and beaten. While Homing and Rosinante were screaming for mercy, Doflamingo\n> viciously blamed his father for condemning the family to such a hellish\n> life, and snarlingly swore to kill all the commoners in revenge, turning the\n> citizens' hatred to horrified shock.\n\nDoflamingo killed his own Father for doing this. Here is the\n[wiki](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Donquixote_Family) article for that:-\n\n> Two years later, Doflamingo's suffering drove him over the edge, awakening\n> his Haoshoku Haki, knocking out the citizens. Trebol, a knowledgeable\n> 18-years old, saw this as the advent of his new king, gifted Doflamingo with\n> a Devil Fruit and an ornate flintlock. Armed with a viable weapon,\n> Doflamingo killed his own father, for whom he holds with contempt for\n> condemning the family into the life of outcasts. The child then took his\n> father's head back to Mariejois, hoping to return to the privileged life as\n> a Celestial Dragon. Unfortunately for him, the World Nobles already\n> considers the Donquixote Family as a \"family of traitors\" for fraternizing\n> with commoners, and refused to let him return. However, armed with the\n> knowledge of Mariejois' national treasure, Doflamingo was considered a\n> threat and the World Nobles tried to kill him; they failed and the former\n> Celestial Dragon escaped.\n>\n> Doflamingo became a pirate with the goal of revenge against the World Nobles\n> who refused to reinstate his status by destroying the world they lord over,\n> and he gathered various recruits whom became a new incarnation of the\n> \"Donquixote Family\", whom he saw as his new, treasured family.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThis is how I interpret the story of _Spirited Away_ :\n\n * The bathhouse represents the society. People work with each other towards a common goal. Every night, 8 million gods come to the bathhouse and workers serve them, worship them. In a way they deal with them, do business with them. In Asian cultures, fire, air, earth, water, food, etc. are represented as gods, so bathhouse very accurately represents a working society. The 'spell' breaks if they stop working.\n * Yubaba is the culture. She manages the bathhouse. She is tyrannical and rules over people by taking there real name and giving them a new name.\n * Chihiro was given a new name by Yubaba, 'Sen', which means 'one thousand', similar to how a person is given a roll number or employee number in an organisation. That number becomes his new identity.\n * Haku has forgotten his real name. Similar to Islamic terrorism, he's become a slave to the tyrannical culture. He'll do anything the culture tells him to do.\n * The baby is the belief system of the society. Yubaba is [overly](https://www.google.com/search?q=spirited+away+yubaba+angry+fire&tbm=isch) protective of him.\n\nOne thing I can't understand is, who is Zeniba, Yubaba's twin sister.\n\n 1. Yubaba and Zeniba are two parts of a whole.\n\n 2. Yubaba keeps baby locked in a room, afraid that he might get sick because of germs. Zeniba turned baby into a mouse so that he might have a little freedom.\n\n 3. Zeniba lives in swamp bottom.\n\n 4. There used to be trains running between bathhouse and swamp bottom in old days, but the return trains from swamp bottom have stopped. Now it's a one-way road towards swamp bottom.\n\n 5. The tickets to swamp bottom Kamaji gave to Chihiro had been with him for 40 years.\n\n 6. 'Zeni' has [two](https://shokubutsujin.wordpress.com/2014/08/20/kanji-mumblings-from-spirited-away/) meanings in Japanese, 'money' and 'ancient'. 'ba' means 'old lady'. The meaning of Zeniba which seems to fit the story is 'ancient old lady.\n\n 7. Yubaba wanted to steal a seal from Zeniba, which was supposedly very precious.\n\nSo what does Zeniba represent in this story?\n\n",

"body": "\n\nFor me, it was old money vs new money. Yubaba keeps rushing to make money,\naccepts tourists etc. Money became not the means to an end but the end itself.\nHer bathhouse is modern corporation, Zeniba's house is old school mom and pop\nstore. Chihiro gets her first job in a large corporation, gets treated as\ndisposable, grows up... But it is no way to live, to truly be adult, that is\nnot the true meaning of adulthood. There has to be more to life than money.\nAnd it is Zeniba which shows her true grandmotherly kindness and gives her\nsome peace and respite from the story.\n\nIn a way, Zeniba is at peace with nature. She takes what she needs from it,\nbut no more than that. Yubaba uses nature to gain money and she only cleans\nthe river god for gold. And Zeniba doesn't do much, maybe because she is\nretired; in modern world, people don't search for her, her ways are not wanted\nanymore. Her entrance in the story can be seen as reaction to Yubaba's\nactions.\n\n\"You and your corporate thinking are not all powerful and all good, Yubaba. I\nwill show you the different way to do things. The old way!\" Zeniba says with\nher actions. And it turns out that there is value in old ways, in traditions\nlong forgotten. That is my interpretation at least. They represent old ways to\ndo business and grow up and new ways to do that and you need to understand\nboth to be a complete person and live in modern society which at the same time\nhas long traditions.\n\nAlso, an interesting thought and a way of looking at the story: Sen didn't\nsearch for Zeniba until she has seen naked greed of her coworkers, until she\nhas seen them consumed by it. A lesson can be seen as this: As long as you\nspend all your time at work, you will not see your parents again. If that is\nwhat you truly want, then stop working, visit your grandmother and your\nparents will return to their senses and see you again.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nMiyazaki lived through the rapid rise and spectacular fall of the Japanese\neconomy over the past few decades. Yubaba represents the head of a typical\ngreedy Japanese corporation. The bathhouse, a very traditional Japanese\nbusiness, represents Japan itself which grew insatiably greedy with the\nroaring Japanese economy of the late 80s and early 90s, as symbolized by the\nbathhouse's over the top extravagance. Yubaba is a strict domineering boss who\ntreats her employees like slaves and sees customers as little more than a\nsource of money. She is also a workaholic who neglects the relationships with\nher son and sister. Zeniba, who lives a train ride away in the countryside,\nrepresents the more traditional rural Japan that became forgotten during the\neconomic boom. Remember that the train used to run both ways, but not anymore.\nZeniba lives a slower life, and does not neglect her family, employees, or\ncustomers. Compare how Yubaba treats her own son, No Face, and Chihiro vs. how\nZeniba treats them. Zeniba was able to recognize No Face's talents where\nYubaba only saw fake gold. Miyzaki himself is known to be quite the workaholic\nso there might be a tinge of self reflection in his portrayal of Yubaba, and a\ntinge of how he thinks things should be in his portrayal of Zeniba. Studio\nGhibli as a company has tried to set itself up to be something better than\njust another greedy corporation, and Yubaba and Zeniba might also represent\nthe dichotomy that arises between Studio Ghibli's desire to rake in massive\nbox office profit and the desire to do the right thing.\n\n",

Though you're correct\nthat alchemy is an important part of the series, for the people of Amestris,\nit's still something that's exceptional and out of the norm. (Remember how\noften citizens are impressed when Ed or Al use the simplest of alchemy to\nrestore broken objects.)\n\nYour analogy of pills and computers isn't totally accurate. Yes, we take pills\nwhen we have a fever... but do you have any idea how to make one of those\npills? I'm sure you've got a general idea of how to start (you take some\nchemicals and put them together), but the actual specifics are much more\ncomplicated. Same with computers - we can use the programs on them easy\nenough, but do you know how to code one of those programs? This is how people\nview alchemy as well - they see a tool that can be used to fix/create, but the\nactual process is far too complicated for most people. After all, Ed and Al\nhave studied almost their whole life, and most of the state alchemists have\nalso spent a great deal of time honing their craft. (As a side note, this is\nprobably the reason alchemists tend to specialize in one type of alchemy, such\nas Roy's fire or Tucker's chimeras - they learned all the chemistry related to\nthat field, and would be much less effective doing something else.)\n\nThe Rockbell doctors can't perform alchemy because although they are very\nsmart (and probably have some chemistry training as well), they don't know the\nalchemical techniques necessary to make a transmutation happen. Similarly for\nautomail mechanics - they have a ton of knowledge of which parts make up a\nfunctioning mechanical limb, but they don't know alchemy. (Likewise, this is\nwhy Ed needs Winry to fix his automail all the time - he doesn't know how it\nworks on a technical level. He can transmute some parts of it like making a\nblade out of the aesthetic parts of the arm, but he is unable to to fully\nrepair the arm on his own... he needs specialized knowledge for that.)\n\n",

"body": "\n\nUnfortunately what you are seeking doesn't exist. Reason is the concept of \"X\napproved way of writing\" doesn't exist. Think about your name. Yes there might\nbe different versions of it(Joseph/Jose) however the version you are using has\nonly one pronunciation.\n\nSo why are we having this issue at all? Simple. The syllabus \"L\" doesn't exist\nin Japanese. A simple example: In Death Note many VAs call \"Light\" as \"Righto\"\nwhich is funny imo because of his obsessive righteousness. Anyways lets look\nat what we have.\n\nReole has \"-le\" at the end however \"Re\" at the start. So we can assume \"re\" at\nthe start should stay as it is. However we have to change \"-le\" to \"-ri\" to\ngave similar sound to it.\n\nSo in conclusion the correct way of writing is \"Reori\"(assuming our base Reole\nis the right version) if we go with sound which is usually the case. You can\ncheck [here](https://www.freejapaneselessons.com/Lesson00-What-Is-My-Name-In-\nJapanese/LetterA/) for different experiments.\n\nAs for リオール (riooru) as you can guess \"Rioru\" is the right way to say it since\na place with that name does not exist. If it had we could say since they cant\npronounce \"l\" they changed it to \"r\".\n\nI know this is not exactly what you are looking for but I hope it helps.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n# He can't make a perfect circle without his arm.\n\nThe mechanics of Edward's ability to transmute without a traditional circle\nare not that well defined. He enters the Portal of Truth and then gleans some\nkind of knowledge about alchemy that allows him to do this. He probably\ncouldn't tell you why he needs both arms, he just knows that he does.\n\nThat said, we can try to make an educated guess.\n\nWhile it's true that he could make a \"circle\" by putting his arm on his\nshoulder or other part of his body, this wouldn't serve as a true\ntransmutation circle.\n\nAlmost every transmutation circle we see in the series has a single common\nproperty: symmetry. [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/dmAaDm.jpg)\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/T7NNc.jpg)\n\nThough this symmetry isn't perfect, with the symbols being different in the\ncircle on the left and Al's Blood Seal on the right having that slightly\nasymmetrical circle in the middle, for the most part, the circles are\nperfectly symmetrical, especially the borders and the \"structure\" within.\n\nIf Edward tried to make a circle with one arm, he would have an awkward and\nasymmetrical circle.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/s2sI0.jpg)\n\nWhen he uses both arms, though, he is able to make a (roughly) symmetrical\ncircle, and perform a transmutation.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/8w7gu.jpg)\n\nYou also mentioned:\n\n> ... why can't he make a circle between his functioning flesh arm and his\n> non-functioning automail arm?\n\n**I don't see why he couldn't.**\n\nHe never really got a chance to do this, though.\n\nAs far as I can remember, the only time his arm was not working, yet\ncompletely intact and attached to his body, was right after the fight with the\nSlicer brothers when Envy and Lust showed up in the 5th Laboratory.\n\nWhen his arm broke, he was freaking out, and he had also lost a lot of blood,\nso I doubt he was thinking clearly. Envy knocked him out before he was really\nable to try anything. Also, his arm breaking was probably a bit for comedic\npurposes too.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThis is how I interpret the story of _Spirited Away_ :\n\n * The bathhouse represents the society. People work with each other towards a common goal. Every night, 8 million gods come to the bathhouse and workers serve them, worship them. In a way they deal with them, do business with them. In Asian cultures, fire, air, earth, water, food, etc. are represented as gods, so bathhouse very accurately represents a working society. The 'spell' breaks if they stop working.\n * Yubaba is the culture. She manages the bathhouse. She is a tyrant and rules over people by taking their real names and giving them new names.\n * Chihiro was given a new name by Yubaba, 'Sen', which means 'one thousand', similar to how a person is given a roll number or employee number in an organisation. That number becomes her new identity.\n * Haku has forgotten his real name. Similar to Islamic terrorists, he's become a slave to the tyrannical culture. He'll do anything the culture tells him to do.\n * The baby is the belief system of the society. Yubaba is [overly](https://www.google.com/search?q=spirited+away+yubaba+angry+fire&tbm=isch) protective of him.\n\nOne thing I can't understand is, who is Zeniba, Yubaba's twin sister.\n\n 1. Yubaba and Zeniba are two parts of a whole.\n\n 2. Yubaba keeps the baby locked in a room, afraid that he might get sick because of germs. Zeniba turned the baby into a mouse so that he might have a little freedom.\n\n 3. Zeniba lives in the swamp bottom.\n\n 4. There used to be trains running between the bathhouse and the swamp bottom in old days, but the return trains from the swamp bottom have stopped. Now it's a one-way road towards the swamp bottom.\n\n 5. The tickets to the swamp bottom Kamaji gave to Chihiro had been with him for 40 years.\n\n 6. 'Zeni' has [two](https://shokubutsujin.wordpress.com/2014/08/20/kanji-mumblings-from-spirited-away/) meanings in Japanese, 'money' and 'ancient'. 'ba' means 'old lady'. The meaning of Zeniba which seems to fit the story is 'ancient old lady'.\n\n 7. Yubaba wanted to steal a seal from Zeniba, which was supposedly very precious.\n\nSo what do Yubaba and Zeniba represent in this story? It looks like they might\nrepresent:\n\n * culture and nature\n\n * tyranny and individuality\n\n * life and death\n\n * interdependence and self reliance\n\nbut none of these seem to elegently fit all the points I've mentioned above.\n\n",
