Later, around 35:00, Nobuko's mother is complaining about this to Anna's\naunt and uncle ... but she also says that Anna _pulled a knife_ on Nobuko!\n(\"Knife\" in the English dub, \"cutter\" in the sub.) I certainly didn't see her\ndo that, nor do I see anything suggesting a scene was cut.\n\nSo, what's the deal here? Did Nobuko simply fabricate the whole thing? Seems\nlike a pretty strong accusation to invent ... Nobuko comes off as a jerk, but\nthat's really over the top. Is it a mistranslation? Unfortunately, my ear for\nspoken Japanese is not up to transcribing what Nobuko's mother says. Also\nunfortunately, my library system does not have the book the movie was based\non.\n\n",

In the Overlord\nworld, there is a great number of quotes where it is shown Shalltear loves\nAinz, so making a complete list would be a very difficult task to deal with.\nBut I can quickly search for 3 quotes from the volumes you asked for, one for\neach volume, to comply with your request in a reasonable way.\n\nOfficial translation made by Yen press. Author: Kugane Maruyama. Official\ntranslator of the Overlord series: Emily Balistrieri. Quote from volume 2,\njust before the first part of “two adventurers” starts.\n\n**“The reason for their conflict was that they were rivals in love. Both\nAlbedo and Shalltear had fallen for Ainz—i.e., he was loved by two\nincomparable beauties. What guy wouldn’t be happy about that?”**\n\nShalltear and Albedo want to become Ainz’s wife, spending the rest of their\nlives in a romantic relationship with him. I’ll skip their insults to one\nanother and just point out their final agreement.\n\nOfficial translation, volume 1. Intermission before chapter 3 starts.\n\n**“The fight…is over. Now they’re just—” “The issue is simply who will be his\nfirst wife.” “We concluded that it would be bizarre for the absolute ruler of\nthe Great Tomb of Nazarick to have only one queen. But now we have to decide\nwho his primary will—”**\n\nThey start rallying allies from Nazarick that will support their love for him.\nNo other servant wants to marry him, but some of them take sides, supporting\neither Albedo or Shalltear’s love for Ainz.\n\nOfficial translation, volume 3, chapter 1, just before part 4 starts.\nShalltear says this.\n\n**“Yes, I will do a splendid job carrying out the duties Lord Ainz bestowed\nupon me, and my praises he will sing: ‘Nice job. You’re my most precious\nslave.’ And then he’ll say, ‘You are the one most fit to stand at my side.’”**\n\nIn general, Shalltear likes to daydream that, one day, he’ll choose her, and\nthen they will get married, spend the rest of their lives together and become\na happy family with their sons and daughters. She doesn’t want to marry anyone\nwho’s not Ainz, she’ll wait her whole life to become his wife and she’s very\nloyal to him.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/N2z4g.jpg)\n\n",

"body": "\n\n`Revision` \\- I had already finished writing the documents a while back, but I\nnow thought that giving a general overview would be good. Once you click on\neither the word [Pastebin](https://pastebin.com/6XCWndr5) or [Google\nDocs](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RkUhqncZhr6SMu8mKPKQ4REro45-poUAAPso9KaUH-U/view)\nyou’ll be redirected to the main page, which contains very relevant\ninstructions, so please read it first. This will lead to a complete\nunderstanding of the heart of my answer to your question: Quotes from Drama\nCDs, Quotes from Side Stories, Quotes from light novels (volumes 1-4), Quotes\nfrom light novels (volume 11). After that, there are the final conclusions on\nShalltear’s love for Ainz.\n\nAs a side note, I recently answered another question in this forum about\nOverlord’s translation, so I decided to also edit these files so that they\ninclude the comparison between the official translation and the fan\ntranslation in more detail.\n\n* * *\n\nIf you just wait for a few days, I'll give you many pages worth of such\nsentences as well as a full analysis on Shalltear's love for Ainz. I'm linking\nmy own [Pastebin](https://pastebin.com/6XCWndr5) and [Google\nDocs](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RkUhqncZhr6SMu8mKPKQ4REro45-poUAAPso9KaUH-U/view)\nfor that purpose. (Right now they're visibly empty, but it will take me very\nfew days to gather enough material to create a very long document)\n\nIn the meantime, I will explain one of quotes from Bhavin as it's quite\nrevealing. I'll also quote a conversation between Shalltear and a death knight\nfrom the side story \"Emissary of the king\" that the author wrote.\n\n> この二人の対立は恋敵であることに起因している。 アインズはアルべドとシャルティア、両者から惚れられていた。絶世の美女二人に愛される。これ\n> を喜ばない男はいないだろう。\n\nThis sentence that Bhavin mentioned (from volume 2 of the light novels) is\nvery beautiful.\n\n[code]\n\n この = These\n 二人 = two people\n の = possessive marker\n 対立 = opposition\n は = subject marker\n 恋敵 = rivals in love\n であること = the fact that\n に = from\n 起因している = originates\n \n[/code]\n\nAll together...\n\nThese two's opposition originates from the fact that they are rivals in love.\n\n[code]\n\n アインズ = Ainz\n は = subject marker\n アルべド = albedo\n と = and\n シャルティア = shalltear\n 両者 = both\n から = from/by\n 惚れられていた = to be in love with\n \n[/code]\n\nAll together,\n\nAbout Ainz, to be loved by both Albedo and Shalltear\n\n[code]\n\n 絶世の美女 = peerless beauty\n 二人 = 2 people\n に = from\n 愛される = loved\n これ = this\n を = grammar marker\n 喜ばない = not be happy\n 男 = man\n は = subject marker\n いない = doesn’t exist\n だろう = most likely\n \n[/code]\n\nAll together,\n\nLoved by two peerless beauties, to not be happy of this, most likely there\ndoesn't exist a man.\n\nThe reason the sentence is so beautiful is because the author used a different\nkind of love each time, showing how complete Albedo and Shalltear's love for\nAinz is.\n\n恋敵 ( _koigataki_ ) = it uses _koi_ , which can only mean romantic love. They\nfell in love with Ainz in a romantic way, the way you would feel for your\nboyfriend /girlfriend. It is always 100% romantic.\n\n惚れる ( _horeru_ ) = to be in love with/to be infatuated with or consumed by\n(romantic.) The romantic feeling is very strong on all occasions. The usual\ntranslation would be to \"fall in love with\" but context should be taken into\nconsideration. The next love word used makes it clear it means “to fall in\nlove with” with a very strong feeling of infatuation as well.\n\n愛される ( _aisareru_ ) which means a very deep type of love (to be loved by.) The\nword \"愛\" is the standard word for love in Japanese. However, Japanese VERY\nrarely say this word, and some people go their whole life without saying it.\nSo it has come to have quite a deep meaning, you will almost always see _suki_\nused in the place of _ai_. Unlike the other 2, this type of love doesn't\nnecessarily have to be just romantic when referring to another person, though\nit's even rarer to use it for family or a friend.\n\nSo far, Albedo and Shalltear are the only floor masters that have shown the\nfirst 2 kinds of love. The third type of love should also include romantic\nlove in their case.\n\n* * *\n\nRegarding the conversation I said I was going to quote, it is from the side\nstory \"Emissary of the King\" that Maruyama wrote. Ainz sends one of his\nservants, a death knight, to ask the floor masters what it is they really\ndesire. Shalltear is a bit skeptical at first.\n\n> \"Then… Is the reason you came to me first because I am the furthest away\n> from Ainz-sama? Was it purely a matter of distance?\"\n>\n> It wasn't like that. The Death Knight told her what his master had said,\n> that \"Shalltear is a very important person.\" The mood changed in an instant.\n> Something that felt like hot air roiled in front of him. There was no change\n> in Shalltear — no. Her crimson pupils glowed like lava.\n>\n> \"—Forgive me. I must have gone deaf for a moment, so I didn't hear what you\n> said just now. Do forgive me. Could you please tell me what Ainz-sama said,\n> one more time?\"\n>\n> It was hard to believe that undead, with their immunity to biological status\n> effects, could go deaf. But he had no reason to deny Shalltear's request.\n> So, he repeated himself.\n>\n> The corner of Shalltear's mouth turned up. \"—Ha! Hahaha! Ahhh, if only\n> Albedo was here to listen to this! Hahaha!\" After having a good laugh,\n> Shalltear continued asking the Death Knight other questions.\n>\n> \"Did Ainz-sama say anything about Albedo?\" After hearing that Ainz hadn't\n> mentioned anything, Shalltear was all smiles. ... Conversations were like\n> passing in basketball. If the exchange ended after only a couple of rounds,\n> something was wrong. … Seeing Shalltear's discomfort, the Death Knight asked\n> the final question, \"What do you want?\"\n>\n> Shalltear's smile was bewitchingly beautiful as she made her reply. \"I want\n> Ainz-sama's love. I don’t mean to say it only has to be me. After all, it's\n> normal for a great man to claim many women for himself. It would be\n> surprising if any woman could resist an absolutely amazing man like Ainz-\n> sama. However, I want to be the first in his heart.\"\n\n(Later, Ainz-sama’s servant goes back to Ainz and tells him what happened and\nwhat she desires.)\n\n> \"Very well. Then let me hear the answer to the last question.\" As he heard\n> Shalltear's answer, Ainz sagged like a puppet whose strings had been cut.\n> \"... Besides Ainz. Append that to the last question the next time you ask\n> it. Understood?\"\n\n(Later, the death knight servant goes to Cocytus and asks)\n\n> \"What do you want… besides Ainz-sama.\" Cocytus seemed to grin at the\n> addition. \"…I. See. Someone. Asked. For. That. It. Must. Have been. Albedo.\n> Or. Shalltear.\"\n\n(Each servant wants a different thing: Aura wants magical beasts, Mare wants\nplants… On the other hand, Albedo and Shalltear love Ainz too much, and they\nmay never get their wish granted.)\n\n",

"body": "\n\n> Even innocent foolish children will grow up in the face of pain, until their\n> thoughts and beliefs are same as their doubts\n\nHow can one's thoughts and beliefs be same as their doubts? I can't seem to\nunderstand this sentence. One of the biggest reasons I watch Naruto is because\nof its extraordinary philosophical background.\n\nMy reasoning on this quote: Children who grew up in war prone areas always\ndoubt if they deserve to live on this planet or some form of source that ends\nthe suffering. So, here their doubts are, _is there really a chance for me to\nlive without pain?_ An intuitive assertion being that, such a form of life\nwill be impossible and cannot exist and the only way to live is to try and\nsurvive against all odds and doing whatever it takes. This enters their belief\nsystem and intern imparts their thoughts making them accept the fact that life\nis not fair for them. Is this interpretation correct or is there a different\none?\n\n",

{
"body": "\n\nThis is just another manifestation of Nagato's bitterness towards the world.\nHe faced pain, repeatedly and more so than he deserved. That experience\nplanted the seed of doubt, doubt that pain could be avoided unless power was\nattained. And that doubt entrenched itself more firmly in his mind until it\nstopped being a doubt. It morphed into a surety. It became belief. That\ninnocence where pain was an unfortunate hardship was stripped away. Pain\nbecame an unyielding reality, unavoidable unless enough power could be\nconsolidated to end all war.\n\nThis is what Nagato meant. That what began as a doubt in an optimistic view of\nthe world reaffirms itself so forcefully and repeatedly stops being a mere\ndoubt and affirms itself as belief, as reality, as truth. That there is an\ninevitability in losing an idealistic innocence and facing a harsh reality,\nchanging from an optimistic attitude to one of cruel realism / pessimism.\n\nAnd herein lies the fascinating contrast between Nagato and Naruto. Both lead\na life filled with pain, disappointment, sadness and grief. One embraced\npositivity, optimism and hope while the other succumbed to negativity,\npessimism and despair. One chose to be built up by his trials. The other was\ndestroyed by them. The evident lesson here is one of choice, of choosing a\npositive attitude and seeing the divergent paths to which a choice in ideology\ncan lead.\n\n",

More specifically, the article\ntalks about a specific episode from a NHK program called _Close-Up Gendai+_.\n\nBelow are quotes from the ANN article which talk about the financial and\nworking condition issues that were aired on that specific episode,\n\n * > **_NHK's Close-Up Gendai+ program aired an episode about the dark side of the anime industry on Wednesday. The episode discussed the financial problems of the industry and exposed animators' subpar working conditions**. Anime director Yasuhiro Irie (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Code:Breaker), Toray Corporate Business Research representative Naoki Atsumi, and announcers Shinichi Taketa and Izumi Tanaka appeared on the program._\n\n * > _The episode showed a graph of increasing annual profits in the anime industry. The small yellow bars represent the portion that anime studios receive. Because production committees hold IP licenses, as well as merchandising and distribution rights, profits from anime productions fail to reach studios._\n>\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/SAoYl.jpg)\n\n * > _A 30-minute work requires more than 3,000 illustrations. In-between animators receive about 200 yen (US$2) per illustration and can produce a maximum of 20 pages per day. Therefore, they can only expect to earn about 100,000 yen (US$911) per month._\n\n * > _Japan Animation Creators Association (JAniCA) reported in 2015 that animators averaged 11 working hours per day, and they had just four days off per month._\n\n * > _An animator who left his job due to work-related depression kept an overtime log. He reported having 100 overtime hours in one month. The below image shows that the animator started work at 11:30 a.m. on May 22 and finished at 5:10 a.m. on May 23._\n>\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/v5xxN.jpg)\n\n * > _Production I.G co-founder, president, and CEO Mitsuhisa Ishikawa remarked that the anime industry lacks people with the business skills to successfully monetize the system._\n\n * > _20-year veteran anime technical director Taiki Nishimura reported in May that his monthly income is 100,000 yen (about US$900) for each anime that he works on. He said that he wants to concentrate on one anime at a time, but he has to work on two television anime to have enough income._\n\n * > _JAniCA reported in 2015 that 759 animators it surveyed earned an average of 3.3283 million yen (about US$27,689) per year in Japan in 2013._\n\nAn interesting point to note from the article is following,\n\n> **_The program presented Polygon Pictures as a studio with better\n> operations**. The studio, which focuses on 3D animation, turns off its\n> lights at 10:00 p.m. to encourage workers to go home._\n>\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/WFhFq.jpg)\n\n* * *\n\n* * *\n\nThere is also [another article](https://kotaku.com/an-insider-s-look-at-\nworking-in-the-anime-business-1796312543) by _Brian Ashcraft_ , from _Kotaku_\n, which details an interview with _Thomas Romain_ , a french animator, and his\nexperience in working in Japan.\n\nBelow are quotes from that article that I thought might be useful. Note, I\nhave also highlighted the ones that are relevant to help you answer your\nquestion.\n\n * > **What’s your advice for people who want to work in anime in Japan?**\n>\n> _The first advice I usually give to people is: learn Japanese. Unfortunately\n> finding Japanese production staff who can understand English is very rare.\n> You won’t be hired if you cannot communicate with them, so if you want to go\n> live in Japan, YOU need to make the effort of learning the language._\n>\n> **_Second piece of advice is that the sooner you start, the better. Japanese\n> studios prefer to hire young and inexperienced people. You don’t need to\n> have a master’s degree in animation; a couple of years of basic artistic\n> training is enough to start as junior animator. But the consequence is that\n> the pay is very low. It’s better to consider this period as a long\n> internship during which you will be taught by a senpai while working on\n> ongoing productions. It’s good to be aware that drawing skills are not\n> required to work in this industry. You can work as a production assistant,\n> editor, or compositing artist for example. None of these jobs require\n> knowing how to draw, even if you want to become a director. Lots of anime\n> directors started as production assistants and never went to art schools._**\n>\n> **_The third piece of advice is to not come with empty pockets. You will not\n> earn enough to make a living out of it until you become good enough. This\n> can take a few years._**\n\n * > **What surprised you about making anime in Japan?**\n>\n> **_I was surprised by how humble all the anime staff in the studio were, and\n> how terrible their living conditions were, compared to the situation in the\n> animation industry in the West. In a nutshell, the money don’t flow back to\n> the animators (and other workers)—they are poor. Most of them spend most of\n> their lives sat at their desks and are single because they have either not\n> enough time or not enough money to build a family. Some of them are also\n> extremely shy, like they cannot even answer you when you say hello. It can\n> be disturbing at first._**\n>\n> _But people are very friendly and intrigued to have foreigners amongst them\n> willing to live a similar life. **Most of them don’t understand why we want\n> to work in anime because they are aware that it is a very difficult job with\n> low pay and lot of (unpaid) overtime. For us, anime is exciting because it’s\n> exotic, but for them it’s just work as usual**. I do not think they can\n> truly understand our feeling as foreigners working in Japan unless they have\n> experienced the fact of living outside of Japan themselves, or even travel\n> abroad from time to time, which most of them never did because they cannot\n> afford it._\n>\n> _I was also surprised to realize that all the Japanese animators weren’t\n> geniuses. You know, because only masterpieces like Ghibli movies or series\n> like Cowboy Bebop were released in France before I went to Japan, I thought\n> that every Japanese animator could draw like a god. I was wrong. There are\n> animation gods like Toshiyuki Inoue, but there are also lots of low-level\n> animators who can only survive in this industry because too many shows are\n> produced and studios that are desperately looking for staff have no other\n> choice but to offer them jobs._\n>\n> _The good thing is that if you are not too bad and have a good work ethic,\n> you will never be unemployed._\n\n * > **What’s the most difficult thing about working in the anime industry?**\n>\n> **_Definitely the large quantity of work to deal with in a short time\n> period. I was surprised by how short the production schedules are and how\n> scarce the teams are due to the shortage of artists. Studios are open 24/7,\n> and people are also working on the holidays most of the time. You get emails\n> during the night. It’s totally normal to have meetings during the night or\n> the weekends. You really have to be ready to work hard, to reach the same\n> level of commitment as your Japanese co-worker, otherwise the risk is that\n> they may not accept you as one of them._**\n>\n> **_I was surprised by the number of production miracles. Japanese have the\n> ability to achieve impossible tasks very quickly, only when they have no\n> other choices left. Although it would be more reasonable to refuse those\n> conditions, everybody complies. This is actually how it works all the time.\n> Nothing moves according to the initial planning. It’s only when everybody\n> thinks that there is no time left, that the project will never be completed\n> in time, that production speeds up. People work day and night without\n> wasting a single minute until the very last second. When you go see a movie\n> on its release day or watch an anime on TV, people were still working on it\n> a few days ago, or even a few hours ago. Sometimes it’s not even finished,\n> and the drawings are polished for the DVD/Blu-ray release._**\n\n * > **What industry horror stories have you heard?**\n>\n> **_It’s not only that I’ve heard horror stories, I’ve seen them. Basically,\n> most of the people are overworked. The problem is that in the traditional\n> Japanese way to behave in society, people tend to say yes when they are\n> asked to work under impossible conditions. For the sake of the studio and\n> the project team, they will do the impossible, even stay several days at the\n> studio in a row, and therefore put their own health at risk. I’ve seen\n> people going home only once per week, or working 35 hours in a row. I’ve\n> even met an animation director who was going home only once per year to\n> their parents—she wasn’t renting an apartment. She was living at the studio,\n> using the public bath and manga cafes to rest a little bit from time to\n> time. A married couple, a director and his wife character designer, were\n> camping in a corner of the studio, sleeping in sleeping bags until the\n> production was finished. Some people also don’t allow themselves to take a\n> break even if they are sick, because they don’t want to spend their small\n> wage on health care._**\n>\n> **_Life expectancy amongst animators isn’t very old. I’ve seen people\n> passing out at work. The worst has been people dying from karoshi (death by\n> overwork). One of my colleagues died from a stroke 10 years ago while he was\n> working in a different studio (staff working for several companies at a time\n> is rather common). Another one barely recovered from a severe stroke as\n> well. Recently I’ve heard of the death of an animator working on a pretty\n> famous show in another studio, but everybody kept it secret, probably not to\n> damage the company._**\n>\n> **_This said, people are very friendly to each other, because basically\n> everybody knows they are more or less experiencing the same very hard\n> conditions. People share the same fate, working in this terrible industry\n> but doing a work that they deeply love. Work meetings are fun. We are\n> laughing a lot and enjoying creating anime._**\n\n* * *\n\n* * *\n\nFrom what I have researched, I can somewhat say that there are probably only\nsome studios which have a bit more better working conditions than other\nstudios. But, overall, I think most studios have subpar working condition and\nsome even lower.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nKyoto Animation is the gold standard for anime production when it comes to\nworker's treatments.\n\nFirst, they finance and take total control of their projects, instead of just\ncontracting out to a publisher. This is a big gamble on their part, but it has\nconsistently paid off. A \"bad selling\" Kyoto Animation show like Nichijou\nstill sells enough (close to 8k units of per-volume sales) to make most\nstudios jealous, and their hits break 50k per-volume sales.\n\nThen all staff are salaried. Since they aren't being paid by-the-cut, the\nanimators are encouraged to take the time to do quality work.\n\nThe time budget is also on a longer scale than most. They often start\nproduction years out, so you don't see a the half-finished episodes or delays\nduring the anime season. Violet Evergarden was in production nearly a year out\nwhile some studios are still working on an episode the day it airs.\n\nFinally, they actually invest in their talent. KyoAni has an art school for\nnew animators, and they hire the best of each class into the studio. They also\nfounded a literature prize to promote new young authors, and to create a story\npool to draw from. This was the origin of Sound! Euphonium, a novel Kyoto\nAnimation promoted.\n\nStudio SHAFT it another studio that seems good to work for. They consistently\nhire the same talent. Most of the same key animators and animation directors\nhave been around since 2004. Artistically they're a very liberated studio, and\neven junior staff are allowed to run with their ideas. The flipside of SHAFT\nis a crazy work schedule. They have so many projects, and often with the same\nstaff on all of them. It's almost a tradition to not get things done on time.\nThey are another studio, like Kyoto Animation, that has invested in creating a\npermanent in-house production capability, with the dedicated Digital@SHAFT\ndivision that does both in-house digital compositing and also contracts on\neverything from Gundam to the Sword Art Online movie.\n\nEDIT:[Here's an English Language link to the corporate philosophy page for\nKyoto Animation](http://www.kyotoanimation.co.jp/en/company/philosophy/).\n\n",

The Grand Priest\nonly stated that the Universe with the **Most fighters** remaining in the end\nwould be the winner and the **Best performing fighter** would receive the\nSuper Dragon Balls. Generally, the last man standing would most likely be the\nbest fighter. However, this might not be true considering Freiza who is weaker\nthan Goku and Jiren is still standing.\n\nHowever, it is most likely that the Super Dragon Balls are going to be given\nto the last man standing because the other scenarios aren't possible.\n\n* _The fighter with the most eliminations get the Super Dragon Balls_ : This is not possible as if the fighter happens to be from a Universe which is eliminated, he would be erased. Example:(Suppose Jiren wins and Universe 11 wins, Goku and Vegeta would still have the most eliminations but they wouldn't get the super dragon balls as they would be erased.)\n* _The strongest fighter_ : It is fair to assume that the strongest fighter wouldn't be eliminated as there isn't anyone strong enough to eliminate him. The only way he wouldn't obtain the Super Dragon Balls is if the other team has more fighters remaining. Then the Super Dragon Ball would most likely be given to the strongest/ best-performing fighter on the opposing team. Example:(Suppose Jiren is still stronger than Goku and doesn't get eliminated. Also, Goku and Freiza remain in the end. Jiren wouldn't get the Super Dragon Balls even if he happens to be stronger as Universe 7 would have more fighters).\n* _The last man standing_ : This is most likely the criteria as there aren't any special cases like the other 2 scenarios where someone who doesn't clearly fit the criteria isn't rewarded the Super Dragon Balls. This only problem with this case would be if equal number of fighters from more than 1 Universe remain. However, it could easily be solved by having them fight until only 1 fighter is left.\n\n",

{
"body": "\n\nEach of the series introduces multiple characters of increasing strengths\nduring different arcs so I'm going to answer the question with the strongest\ncharacter at the end of each series.\n\n * **Dragon Ball** : The strongest character at the end of Dragon Ball was _Goku_. Piccolo was the next character along with Kami in the race. However, Piccolo addressed Goku as being the only real obstacle that stood in his way and that Kami had neglected too much on his training.\n\n**Reasoning** : In Episode 148, we see Piccolo and Goku fight where the both\nof them seemed to be pretty even in strength until Goku finally rung him out.\nAlso, Picollo had wounded Goku to such an extent that he was in a life or\ndeath situation and it is obvious that he would've gotten a Zenkai boost after\ntheir fight. The only other fighter in the race is Kami but because of Piccolo\nconsidering only Goku to be a threat, I think it is fair to assume that he was\nthe strongest.\n\n* * *\n\n * **Dragon Ball Z** : Dragon Ball Z saw the introduction of fusions. So the strongest character including fusions would be _Vegito_ which is a Potara fusion between Goku and Vegeta. The strongest unfused character, on the other hand, would be, _Ultimate/Mystic Gohan_. The other characters in the race would be Super Buu(Who was even stronger with Gohan, Gotenks absorbed), Goku and Gotenks who weren't as strong.\n\n**Reasoning** : The final antagonist at the end of Dragon Ball Z was Majin Buu\nand we see multiple iterations of Majin Buu. We know the SSJ3 transformation\nis a lot superior to the SSJ2 transformation. Majin Buu in his fat form was\nslightly weaker than Goku in his SSJ3 form who was initially the strongest at\nthe beginning of the series. Then we see Super Buu(The strongest iteration of\nBuu), who was about the same level as strength as SSJ3 Gotenks (Who was a\nfused character). Fusions are more powerful. Gohan in his Ultimate Form, was\nstrong enough to Toy around with Super Buu in episode 267. Gohan was also able\nto hold his own against a Buu with an absorbed SSJ3 character in the following\nepisodes. Finally, we see Potara fused character Vegito, completely Toy around\nwith a Buu who absorbed the strongest unfused character Ultimate Gohan, making\nhim the strongest.\n\n* * *\n\n * **Dragon Ball GT** : \"Note: This series isn't canon\". However, this series also contained fusions hence the strongest character at the end of the series was _SSJ4 Gogeta_ , which is a fusion between Goku and Vegeta in their Super Saiyan 4 transformations. However, the strongest unfused character would be the last villain they had to face, that was _Omega Shenron_.\n\nReasoning: This one is fairly easy. Omega Sheron was the last Antagonist of\nthe series. He was strong enough to push back SSJ4 Goku, Vegeta, Majuub,\nGohan, Goten and Trunks.It was only after Goku and Vegeta fused into Gogeta,\nthey managed to completely Toy around with Omega Sheron. The last few episodes\nof the series between 57-63 would indicate the same.\n\n* * *\n\n * **Dragon Ball Super** : So this show saw the introduction of Gods/ Angels and took power scaling to a multiversal level. The strongest character in terms of power is the _Grand Priest_. \"Note: The Omni King doesn't have physical strength as stated by Beerus and Whis. He has the ability to erase anything from existence solely out of will which makes him powerful\". If I were to consider only mortal's, the strongest character currently is yet to be determined, however will be soon in the next few days between _Goku and Jiren_.\n\n**Reasoning** : Unlike in the previous series, this series introduced many\ncharacters stronger than the main characters by _huge_ margins, without\nactually revealing their power in actual combat. We got introduced to Gods of\ndestruction and Angels. Gods of destruction are technically the strongest\nfighters in every Universe(With the exception of Jiren and maybe even Goku now\nas of episode 129).\n\nThere also exist Angels who are substantially stronger than the Gods of\ndestructions, to a degree that they could take them out without any effort.\nOne such Angel who is friends with the protagonist is Whis. Whis said to Goku\nin Episode 55 that even he could barely keep up with the Grand Priest in terms\nof combat. Note Whis himself at that time is strong enough to knock out Goku\nand even the God of Destruction of his universe Beerus(Who is substantially\nstronger than Goku at that time) without even trying.\n\nAs for the strongest mortal, After Episode 129 and 130, it has to be Goku in\nhis Fully Mastered Ultra Instinct Form with Jiren not Far behind!\n\n",

Nature and the elements just go with the flow and this is what the\nPriest describes as real love. Where something is completely complacent.\n\nWhen Canute asks what then does the love I felt for Ragnar means, the Priest\nsays that is simply discrimination because Ragnar let innocent people die to\nprotect Canute. Because for humans, love is putting someone above everyone\nelse and that cannot be fair.\n\nThen the priest goes on to talk about Adam and Eve, which is the story of Eve\nbeing tempted by the devil to eat a forbidden apple, she goes on to eat the\napple and after she does this, god punishes the human race by making them\nunable to experience this true love that the priest talks about. The only way\nto experience this true love is to die because that is the only way a human\ncan be totally complacent. Thus the world we live in now is the true hell,\nwhere none of us can experience this true love until we die.\n\nSo basically, what this priest describes is a story from Christianity but of\nhis take on how god punishes us for the first sin that Eve committed.\n\n",

In Episode 110, When Goku used _Ultra\nInstinct Omen_ in his fight against Jiren, Roshi and Tien were able to sense\nGoku's energy. Even Piccolo was able to sense his energy as he made a\nstatement that he was becoming stronger during the course of battle. \nAlso, during Goku's fight with Kefla, we see Kefla being able to sense Goku\npower up increase his energy and hence responded by doing the same and even\nJiren was able to sense this energy and wake up from meditation during their\ncourse of battle.\n\nThe _\"heat\"_ which has been mentioned during all the times Goku turned Ultra\nInstinct , is a rise in Energy. We know this definitely in Episode 129 after\nWhis talks about the same. Also, When Goku pushes back Jiren's barrage of\nattacks, Jiren mentioned that Goku had generated this tremendous amount of\nheat to land a decisive blow on him and defeat him for which he must\nrespond.(This was when Goku was powering up). When Jiren powered up before\nlaunching his attack on Goku, Toppo remarked that Jiren was _\"Getting way too\nheated up(Generating a lot of heat)\"_ , which in other words is a lot of\nenergy.\n\nWe know the Super Saiyan God transformations are all about Ki control and\nEnergy levels can't be sensed. Hence the above mentioned occurrences confirm\nwithout a doubt that Goku is not utilising God Ki during the Ultra Instinct\nTransformations\n\n",

"body": "\n\nSeeing the _Citrus_ anime that aired in Winter 2018 got me thinking. This\nanime has so many ecchi scenes. Yuzu and Mei kissed and did so many perverted\nacts.\n\nHad this been a boy-girl kissing scene, it might be considered okay and normal\nenough. Problem is, Yuzu and Mei are both female, thus their kissing scenes\nare ecchi. Taketatsu Ayana (Yuzu's seiyuu) and Tsuda Minami (Mei's seiyuu)\nwould have to make lots of perverted noises for those scenes.\n\nThis reminds me that _High School DxD_ also has Itou Shizuka (Himejima Akeno's\nseiyuu) and Hikasa Youko (Ria's Gremory's seiyuu) make lots of similar noises\nfor the recording.\n\nWhile Itou Shizuka is known to be a seiyuu for eroge, even she was embarrassed\nwhen she had to do many perverted noises during recording in front of many\nother seiyuus (I read it somewhere but forgot where, will update with link if\nI can find the article again). Itou-san went as far as crying to Asakawa Yuu\n(voice actress of the Megurine Luka vocaloid, and seiyuu for many eroge) due\nto the embarrassment.\n\nIt should also be noted that both Itou-san and Asakawa-san used pseudonyms for\ntheir eroge VA work. This suggest that such work is not really desirable, or\nat least, it definitely is not at the top of desirable jobs to do. Hanazawa\nKana doesn't do eroge voice acting, for example.\n\nNow, returning to _Citrus_ , Taketatsu Ayana and Tsuda Minami were not fresh,\nnewly-graduated seiyuu. They have worked in the industry for quite a long time\nand have built names for themselves.\n\nDoes this means that anime with many perverted scenes pay their seiyuu more?\n\nNote: To make things clear, by \"ecchi\" I mean the perverted noise(s) the\nseiyuu has to make for the scene, and not the perverted images that go with\nthem.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nFrom what I have read, eroge voice-work is not a desirable path. The pay is\nless, although I'm not sure how much exactly. I think voice actors are\ngenerally paid by the word, and long/complicated lines are not usually\nrequired in eroge. I don't know how they would measure a payment for just\nbreathing and other sounds.\n\nMost voice actors are similar to celebrities, in that they want to become\nwell-known and gain reputability for their skills. This will give them higher\npaying jobs in more popular series, and their demand will grow. However, eroge\nwork is probably viable if you need to make money or start out. A lot of well\nknown voice actors have done eroge work before becoming more established and\nmoving away from it. The voice actor for Vegeta in DBZ apparently did eroge at\none point. A lot of \"voice otakus\"? will try to match eroge VAs who used\npseudonyms to their real names, which is a deterrent for some VAs to even do\nany eroge if they care about that.\n\nI am sorry I don't have any real sources to any of this, so take it with a\ngrain of salt.

As long as he/she\nappeared in an episode, he/she is going to get paid the same amount regardless\nof how many words he said. The salary is dependent on the experience of the\nseiyuu.\n\nThis is a mechanism to prevent unhealthy competition between veteran and\nyounger seiyuu, and to ensure the development of younger seiyuu. If they are\npaid freely or the same, younger seiyuu will stand no chance against vet\nseiyuu, especially for TV anime roles, where the competition is the most\nbrutal. This is also the reason why a lot of seiyuu will get less main roles\nafter 10 to 15 years. They are getting expensive and are replaced by the newer\nseiyuu. It's cruel but also sustainable and good for the industry as a whole.\n\n<https://www.amgakuin.co.jp/contents/voice/column2/debut/become/income> (There\nis an article in Japanese on how are seiyuu paid)\n\nAs to why they are still taking ecchi anime, it is just that they have\nembraced sexual content as a big part of the industry and culture, and\ntherefore they would take the audition (which even big name seiyuu would fail\nmore than 90% of the time). They know what they are potentially signing up to,\nand they treasure every role which they get. By the way, Taketatsu Ayana\ndefinitely won't mind attending audition for ecchi anime, Ako-ne in Kissxsis\nwas one of her earliest main role. She must have spent a lot of time studying\nhow to make those sounds.\n\nThe paying of game (including Eroge) has no such a straight rule, and they are\npaid more, and in various way. Like they may be paid for a fixed salary, paid\nper lines, and can directly negotiate with the production side for more.\nHowever, not all the seiyuu will voice Eroge, and even if they do want to some\nagency may ban their seiyuu to do so. (E.g. I'm enterprise) Also even seiyuu\nare paid more for voicing game, the competition in voicing anime is still much\nhigher, since they can become famous for voicing anime, and appearing in anime\nis the dream for a lot of them.\n\nIt's also simply just more beneficial for them to voice in alias. At the end\nof the day, even if the seiyuu don't mind R18 content (by literally being a\npart of it), the general audience may not. It cannot be helped that some\naudience would associate characters sharing the same voice actor from\ndifferent anime/game. By use different name in non-R18 anime and R18 anime,\nthere would be less concern form the production side in selecting them for\nnon-R18 roles. They do it to hide it from the casual general audience rather\nthan their fans, fans of seiyuu recognize them by voice, not name.\n\nFor example, everyone knows Fukuen Misato voiced a ton of Eroge, but she\nvoiced all of them under different names, so technically \"Fukuen Misato\"\ndidn't voice any of them, and fans who know generally would just buy the game,\nbut won't bring it up in normal occasion. Therefore, she can still be selected\nto voice Pretty Cure, a big anime for little girls. Imagine if she does all\nthe Eroge under the name \"Fukuen Misato\", there would be close to no chance\nfor her to be selected.\n\n",

Its meaning outside\nJapanese media may be a bit skewed depending on the source.\n\nA blush is a still called a blush in Japanese. Rarely are there specialized\nterms for common expressions such as blushes. There may be specific types of\nblushes for specific circumstances. The nature of using lines to depict\nblushed is a stylistic, and varies between artists. Some use shading, others\nuse lines, some use ovals. The reason for the blush is usually an implicit\none, where the audience is intended to read to mood. It might not always be as\nclear to the audience, but that's a matter if execution by the author or\nartist.\n\nThe type of blushing often seem on separate cheeks is what can be referred as\na \"persistent red-face(i.e. flushed face)\" (終始赤面) as with many manga and anime\niconography, their meanings are implicit based on the context of the\nsituation. The character may be blushing or have flush cheeks for a variety of\nreasons. The blush might be because they are a cheery person with rosy cheeks,\nthere character maybe slightly embarrassed, the character maybe have a flushed\nface to to being happy about something, or the character might be flushed have\na high temperature from a fever or running around.\n\nThere are no set rules, as it often at the whim of the style of the author or\nartist. Good authors and artists are able to better convey thing to their\nintended audiences. There is no \"one size fits all\" solution here.\n\nIt's implicitly understood by Japanese reader as such, because its an often\nseen trope in anime and manga-related media and has been for many generations.\nTo Western audiences, not well versed in the iconography, theses seem to be\nweird, quirky, and/or exotic bit that may be hard to grasp for those not well\nin inferred literary devices certain authors use to convey context or emotion.\nNot everything is black and white and set it stone, especially if you want a\ndeeper characterization and plot from your preferred form of media.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nSharingan is a dojutsu, and a kekkai genkai that can be accessed (naturally)\nonly by the Uchiha clan when an Uchiha experiences strong emotions. The design\nof the Sharingan is having 3 tomoe.\n\nTwo basic abilites that the Sharingan offers are -\n\n * Dōsatsugan - The techniques being copying jutsu, seeing chakra, and advanced eye movement to detect anything.\n\n * Saimingan - Genjutsu, taking complete control over a person's body. (Even tailed beasts can be controlled), and also the user of the Sharingan is able to predict an attacker's attacks by careful observation.\n\nThe other two powerful and forbidden jutsus are - Izanagi and Izanami. Izanagi\nallows the user to warp reality and switch between illusion and reality,\nallowing the user to escape death is certain cases. Izanami traps the victim\nin an infinite loop of illusion. Each of these leads to the user going\ncompletely blind in one eye, each time he uses either of the techniques\n(Although Madara retained his vision due to him awakening the Rinnegan).\n\nThe Sharingan can be evolved into Mangekyō Sharingan by experiencing the\ntrauma of loss, although the repeated use of the Mangekyō will render the user\nblind. To overcome this, the user can transplant the Mangekyō Sharingan of a\nsibling into his, thus awakening the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. The design of\nthe Mangekyō is unique and specific to a person, and the Eternal Mangekyō\nmerges the designs of the two Mangekyōs.\n\nIn addition to the abilities that the usual Sharingan offers, the Mangekyō\nalso offers a wide range of abilities specific to users, like\n\n * the Susanoo (common technique) - gigantic, humanoid avatar made of the user's chakra which surrounds them and fights on their behalf.\n * Amaterasu in the case of Itachi - black flames that cannot be extinguished at all, and it is the highest form of Katon.\n * Tsukuyomi, in the case of Itachi - a very powerful genjutsu technique,requires eye contact and traps the target in genjutsu which feels like an eternity for the user but it lasts only a second in the real world.\n * Kamui, in the case of Obito and Kakashi - a powerful space time technique, allows the user to teleport anywhere (also to the unique Kamui's dimension) and allows the user to be intangible (the user teleporting himself into the dimension partially) and also the Kamui can synchronise with another space–time ninjutsu, granting the user access to the synchronised technique's dimension (in the case of Kaguya and Obito).\n * And in Uchiha Shishui's case, the Kotoamatsukami, an extremely powerful genjutsu technique, that manipulates the victim's thoughts completely without anyone, including the target, having the slightest idea that they were being controlled. \n * The Choku tomoe, in the cases of Madara and Sasuke, grants them fluidity in their movements when fighting.\n * Kagutsuchi, in the case of Sasuke, applies shape transformation to the flames of Ametarasu.\n\nThe Sharingan, Mangekyō, and the Eternal Mangekyō can be transplanted to\nanother non-Uchiha, but would not be very efficient as it would demand a great\ndeal of chakra and it could not be deactivated. (Which is why Kakashi wears an\neye patch)\n\nSources -\n\n[Naruto Wikia - Sharingan](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Sharingan)\n\n[Naruto Wikia - Mangekyō\nSharingan](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Mangeky%C5%8D_Sharingan)\n\nMyself, a huge Naruto fan.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIn the manga, Kaiba created Battle Boxes which used **Solid Vision** to\nenhance Duel Monsters and made a deal with Industrial Illusions to produce\nthem.\n\nDuring Death-T (Death Trial), a series of games which Kaiba created to test\nYugi, Kaiba used Battle Boxes, to create holograms of the monsters Summoned in\nDuel Monsters and Capsule Monster Chess. Whoever lost a game, would be subject\nto the Illusion of Death by virtual reality. He tested this version of Penalty\nGame on human subjects, finding that the average person went insane after ten\nminutes of the torture. Which explains how Solomon Mutou was hurt in the manga\nwhen Kaiba forced him to play against him.\n\nIn the anime, Dueling Arenas were used instead of Battle Boxes and Death-T did\nnot happen.\n\nIn the anime, Kaiba was still responsible for the creation of the Dueling\nArenas. Throughout the series it is implied that the monsters that are\nsummoned are not just a hologram projections but **Solid Visions**. This\nimplies that there is some kind of artificial mass that is formed behind the\nprojection. How Kaiba managed to achieve this, is not explained in details,\nbut it is implied that he programmed the dueling system to **simulate combat\ndamage** , which explains why when monsters attack, there are shock waves that\nare felt in the air, and why when direct attacks are made on the players, they\nare pushed and sometimes even physically hurt. This can explain why Solomon\nMutou was hurt during his first duel with Kaiba in the very first episode of\nthe anime. Even though direct attacks where not in the rules of the game back\nthen, the shock waves from the attacks between the monsters could still be\nfelt in the air. And the psychological shock of seeing solid vision monsters\nfor the first time, took their tool on the fragile body of Solomon Mutou, who\nwas at that point, a retired old man. In the episode where Kaiba received\nObelisk the tormentor from Ishizu, he decided to test the might of the god\ncard while also testing the new dueling disk with the updated game rules. The\nscientist working for Kaiba, expressed concern about the decision to include\ndirect attacks in the rules, since the **solid vision** combined with the\n**combat simulation** could really hurt the players who participate in the\nduel. This is shown in the same episode when Kaiba summons Obelisk and uses it\nto destroy the Blue eyes ultimate dragon, while also dealing 4000 points of\ndamage to the duel bot. The shock from that attack, destroyed the machine.\nHowever, if Kaiba didn't summon Obelisk to win the game, he might've been\ninjured by the attacks of the Ultimate Dragon which the duel bot was using\nagainst him. The japanese version of the anime, does a better job than the dub\nversion, in explaining how the monsters could push and hurt the players. I\nguess the real questions to ask here are, how come no one sued Kaiba for\ncreating a technology that can physically damage people and advertise it for a\ngame of cards. And why did kids where given access to posses such a dangerous\npiece of technology. :D But I guess someone has to write that question and I\nwill do my best to give the best logical answer to that.\n\nI hope my answer was helpful and fun to read. :)\n\n",

Goku can gather this energy from\n_inanimate life forms and surrounding objects_ as well for the spirit bomb.\nHence, in other words, Goku can't gather energy from a rock and regain\nstamina. \nSecondly, the androids have infinite \"Stamina\" which prevents them from\ngetting tired like a normal individual. This might be because of mechanical\npart fitted inside Android 17. So it would be impossible for Android 17 to\nshare his energy with Goku. \n \nA better analogy would be something like this.\n\n* Let us assume there exist 2 human beings and 1 robot.\n* Human beings need x amount of blood to survive while the robot has a fitted energy source which is different from blood but always keeps them alive.\n* If one human is deprived of blood, he needs to rely on the other human and can't ask help from the robot despite him having an infinite energy source because the human has a different anatomy compared to the robot.\n\n",

This resulted in referee saying that they could **assume** that he\nself destructed which resulted in Jiren getting no penalty. Is this correctly\ntranslated from japanese? Hence meaning that the referee indicates that 17\nwasn't officially eliminated. In the godpad he was also never removed by the\nZenos.\n\nIn episode 128 when Vegeta dropped out we were only shown a part of the\ngodpad, the top row. 17 is on the bottom row, meaning there is no official\nstatus about it yet.\n\nIn episode 130 he makes a return. Were the previous episodes made like that in\njapanese as well (text wise) in order to indicate that 17 is still in the\ntournament? Or was he officially eliminated making his current status exactly\nwhat?\n\nI find this extremely confusing as in the past there had been some translation\nerrors meaning that a sentence can hold a different meaning from the original\nintended one. As far as I can tell he was never officially removed, meaning\nreferee and Zenos were aware of this and didn't remove him. Or are they\nsurprised and were they perhaps unaware, meaning that there was an error of\njudgement on their side?\n\n",

"body": "\n\nFirstly, The Omni Kings marking off fighters on the Godpad is only a formality\nand doesn't really have to do with a fighter being completely eliminated. The\nreason I make this argument is because of **Episode 110**. After the _Spirit\nBomb_ clash between _Goku and Jiren_ , Goku was presumed to be dead and there\nwas a scene where the Omni Kings were right about to push the button, the\nworld of void began to shake because of Goku. If Goku was a few seconds late,\nthe Omni Kings would've pushed the button and would have to redo the same if\nGoku hadn't actually died because it was an **error on their parts and not the\ncontestant's part.** \n \nWe also know by this that a contestant doesn't necessarily have to _only be\nknocked out to get eliminated._ If he or she is either disqualified for\nviolating a rule or dies or is in any position where the fighter cannot\ncontinue to fight in the tournament of power, the fighter is considered to be\neliminated. \n \nSo to answer your main question. **Yes! Android 17 was presumed to be dead\njust like Goku was which as a result, meant elimination.**\n\nAs for the other questions, The Omni Kings and even The Grand Priest were\nunder the impression that **Android 17** did die during the self-destruction.\nWe know this based on what he said right after, where Jiren wasn't going to be\ndisqualified because Android 17 chose to kill himself. Even in Episode 110,\nthe Grand Priest **initially assumed that Goku died after the Spirit Bomb\nStruggle** as he clearly stated that Jiren wouldn't be disqualified as **Goku\ndied as a result of his own attack**. With regard to them not showing the\nofficial elimination of Android 17(ie Marking him out on the God Pad), is\nsomething only the staff and writers would know. Perhaps there **wasn't\nsufficient time** in the episode to include this bit of animation or maybe\nbecause Android 17's **death was confirmed by multiple characters** (Based on\nGoku's, Vegeta's, Universe 7 fighters, Jiren's, Grand Priest's etc comments)\nand there wasn't really a reason to indicate the same or perhaps they left\nthis out **because of what which happens in episode 130.** \n \nBased on my Initial Argument, I personally believe it honestly d wouldn't make\na difference if they were to have marked Android 17 out. It would've just been\nconsidered an error in judgment which they would have redone. It would only\nmatter if pressing the button on the Godpad causes the character to get erased\nor creates some form of restriction that prevents them from fighting in the\ntournament of power. As of now, it is solely there for the entertainment\npurposes and as a list for the Omni Kings to keep track of the fighters\nremaining.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThere are two differences.\n\n 1. Netflix Original Series are either produced, co-produced or hosted exclusively on Netflix, and when in relation to anime it will almost always be referring to \"hosted exclusively\". Other anime would be hosted by one or many of any range of other platforms/mediums. Some may go straight to TV, some get bought by multiple platforms, ect... it depends on the series and Netflix Original Series just happen to be hosted by Netflix. - [stack reference](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/44105/how-much-did-netflix-contribute-as-part-of-the-production-committee-for-devilm), [wiki reference](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix#Netflix_Originals)\n\n 2. Netflix Original Series can be planned and made **for** Netflix, or the rights can be bought by Netflix after production. Either way, Netflix would be creating/purchasing shows that they believe are marketable to their customer base and this would result in a slight variation in popular themes than other airing anime. Currently, the top countries for Netflix usage are Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, America and Canada ([reference](https://www.statista.com/statistics/499844/netflix-markets-penetration/)) so the shows picked up by Netflix are more likely to have jokes/references/themes/styles that are deemed as popular in these countries. An example of something that would be less likely to pop up a Netflix Original is an anime show featuring lots of [Dajare (Japanese Puns)](https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/japanese-puns/) since wordplay in Japanese is structured around the language and difficult to translate for the same popular impact it would have locally. Keep in mind this is not a strict rule for what Netflix can pick up, just a general difference noticed when looking at the platforms shows as a whole.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nYour question honestly doesn't make much sense as it kind of answers itself in\nyour last paragraph, however, I'll try my best to break it down.\n\n* The color of the eyes have nothing to do with the transformations. It is just a selective form of artwork chosen by the artists of the show to help accentuate the color of the entire transformation. So In other words, _\"can a super saiyan transformation have eyes of a different color than blue?\"_ The answer would be **Depends**. If the artist chooses to color the eyes Orange, they'd be orange and same goes for blue.\n* Secondy, Super Saiyan God is indeed a Saiyan transformation. It is a form of Ritual which allows a Saiyan to attain Godly ki without actual training in the same. Goku was able to attain this transformation without any training of God Ki. We also know that this transformation can be attained by training based on Vegeta in the manga. Super Saiyan Blue, on the other hand, is the adaptation of God ki to the Super Saiyan transformation.\n* A good analogy for the same would be a technique like **Instant transmission**. When Goku learned the transformation, he managed to adapt it to his fighting style while he is a Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2 or Super Saiyan Blue etc. Similarly, when God Ki is applied during a Super Saiyan transformation, it results in a character transforming into Super Saiyan Blue. One can only do the same if he has a fairly good mastery of God Ki, which is probably why this transformation is stronger than Super Saiyan God as one can attain that even without actual training. \n* Also, Goku's Ulra Instinct transformation is definitely exclusive to Saiyans. The angels don't have an exclusive transformation to utilize this skill. We see Beerus utilize an unmastered version of the same in the manga. We know that the Saiyans evolution in strength is always seen through transformations. So it only makes sense this would be a transformation when a Saiyan masters it.\n\n",

Not every Ghibli work is created equal, the\nones where he is are quite memorable to audiences.\n\nFilmaker Asher Isbrucker offers an interesting take on Studio Ghibli's appeal\nin his video-essay “The Immersive Reality of Studio Ghibli”, that the studio’s\nbiggest asset to its lasting appeal of their so-called “immersive realism”.\n\n<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6Q6y4-qKac>\n\nWhile you may think that elements such as parents being turned into pigs (from\n_Spirited Away_ ), or a story about a warrior princess raised by wolves (from\n_Princess Mononoke_ ) and or even one about WWI fighter-pilot that's a pig\n(from _Porco Rosso_ ) may not be instill what some would regard as \"realism\".\nThe collaborative effort and vision of the director and their animator’s\nability to breathe like these fantastical narratives to make them feel through\ntheir passion and detail give Ghibli movies their appeal. The world-building\ndone allows audiences to suspend their belief and buy into the Ghibli-created\nworld where even the most imaginative and fantastical elements become feel\nnormal and common place.\n\nFinding a balance between fantasy and reality is often times very tough. The\nwriters along with the animators develop even the most basic and mundane\nelements from scratch, with an ever so particular attention to detail, no\nmatter how far fetched or mundane it may be, it still feels tangible and real\nto the audience. Such realism is not made to a tee. It's not a complete\nfacsimile of real-life but rather an analogue of it where rules can be bent\nand broken to create fantasy. If something feels too real or too emulated it\ncan easily feel fake to an audience. This is where the animators really show\noff what they can do.\n\nRoger Ebert once commented in [one of his\ninterviews](https://www.rogerebert.com/interviews/hayao-miyazaki-interview)\nwith Miyazaki:\n\n> I told Miyazaki I love the \"gratuitous motion\" in his films; instead of\n> every movement being dictated by the story, sometimes people will just sit\n> for a moment, or they will sigh, or look in a running stream, or do\n> something extra, not to advance the story but only to give the sense of time\n> and place and who they are. \"We have a word for that in Japanese,\" he said.\n> \"It's called ma. Emptiness. It's there intentionally.\"\n\nIn _Starting Point_ , Miyazaki explains his underlying philosophy:\n\n> Anime may depict fictional worlds, but I nonetheless believe that at its\n> core it must have a certain realism. Even if the world depicted is a lie,\n> the trick is to make it seem as real as possible. Stated another way, the\n> animator must fabricate a lie that seems so real, viewers will think the\n> world depicted might possible exist...\n\nMiyazaki also mentioned that \"animators are themselves actors\". These\nanimators need to consider the various aspects character’s motivations, and\nconsidered their unspoken mannerisms and expressions as well. These minor\ndetails provide a connection with the audience and makes them relatable.\n\nYou can see this things like the animated expression of movement, emulating\nthe semblance and familiarity of how how we perceive our physical world the\nvideo-essay notes things like Kiki’s bow blowing in the wind (from _Kiki’s\nDelivery Service_ ), the flickering lights of the Catbus (from _My Neighbour\nTotoro_ ) or the heavy-feeling movements of the hulking insectoid creatures of\n_Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind_ , or even how Chihiro from _Spirited\nAway_ puts her shoes on, noting how she takes her time to tap them, make them\ncomfortable, then set out like an actual girl in real-life would.\n\nNot only that but the detail and effort made to scene establishes the setting\nvery well and makes the setting feel all the more real. The video-essay notes\nin particular how the bathouse in _Spirited Away_ depicts various job posts,\nareas for sleeping, an even the varieties of soap and countless other details\nthat make each seems to have their own story on top of the main story\nunfolding with Chihiro. Another noteworthy scene mentioned is the contrast of\nlabor roles by gender of Irontown in _Princess Mononoke_ , such as what the\nwomen do while the men are out gathering resources.\n\nAside from the visual appeal of the art and animation, the story aspect of\nGhibili works are split across a spectrum of fantastical, simple and\nrelatable, and nostalgic elements with mature themes. At the heart of most\nGhibli series is a coming of age story, but the trope is not played off a\nnovelty as you'd typically see with anime. These stories do very well in\nempathizing with its audience universally understood ideal and emotions of\nit's world and characters through a combination vivid expressions and\nfantastical elements in a way that can only truly be expressed through an\nanimated medium. The studio does it in such a way that subverts what audiences\ntypically expect from an animated work through its emotional and impactful\nexpressions. It at times it can reminds us of who we are as humans and to be\nmodest, industrious and respectful despite the strife that may come our way.\nSuch empathy and imagination is likely what persists the popularity of Ghibli\nworks.\n\n",

Studio\nGhibli isn’t afraid to put you into these new and mystic worlds and when they\ndo that they really put you into that world, you feel transported in this new\nworld and it doesn’t feel imaginary cause the way Studio Ghibli describes the\nworld you can almost imagine them as a place somewhere on this earth.\nComparing them to Pixar (since there animations are available worldwide\ndubbed) I would say the major difference between the two is that Pixar builds\nstories with the world based around what we already have. Using **nemo** as an\nexample the story mainly takes place in the Ocean(great barrier reef) and\nAustralia, we know it’s an actual place so Pixar doesn’t need to work on world\nbuilding as much while Studio Ghibli does that seamlessly throughout the\nmovie. We can really see this in Studio G’s acclaimed **Spirited away** and\nlot of their other movies.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nSo, In case of Goku, just like you said, the **Mastered Ultra Instinct\nTransformation** is not just a skill but also a power multiplier which is\nimmensely greater than SSJB + Kaioken*20. We know this based on Jiren's fights\nwith Goku using this form and Mastered Ultra Instinct. \nIn terms of where it stands, we cannot arrive at a definite answer but we can\nscale his power relative to other characters the following ways.\n\n * It has been established without a doubt both in the Anime and the Manga that Jiren is **God of destruction tier**. At the same time, All Gods of destructions are at different levels of strength. We know this based on Vados's comment in _Episode 28_ where she stated that Beerus was stronger than Champa. We also know this based on _Manga Chapter 28_ where Beerus manages to overwhelm multiple Gods of destruction.\n * It has been hinted in the anime by Whis in _Episode 110_ and stated definitely by Toppo in _Manga Chapter 29_ that Jiren is stronger than Vermouth, The Universe 11 God of destruction.\n * In _Episode 92_ Whis implied that Vermouth might be stronger than Beerus and there exists a mortal even stronger than Vermouth, to which Beerus replied that he only beat him in an arm wrestling match. However, in the Manga, it was indicated that Quitella, The God of destruction of Universe 4 was the fighter who beat Beerus in an arm wrestling match. \n * At the end of the fight in _Manga Chapter 24_ , we see Quitella , Beerus and Vermouth were more or less the Gods with the least amount of damage on them and still able to stand. So I think it is fair to assume that these Gods are the strongest and Jiren's power is indeed relative to High tier Gods of destruction.\n * When Goku was transforming to **Mastered UI** , one of the magazine spoilers the week before indicated that Jiren was going to concentrate all his power into a single punch and attack Goku. This attack was flicked away like nothing by Goku in _Episode 129_. We also see Goku initially completely overwhelm Jiren in _Episode 130_ , until Jiren uses his limit breaking power where he slightly had the upper hand until Goku powered up furthur.\n * Based on this, it can be established that **Jiren's limit breaking power** puts him **above** God of destruction tier and the fact that Goku with that level of stamina remaining, managed to beat Jiren, makes him **greater** than God of Destruction tier.\n * The High Tier Gods of destruction like Beerus cannot be underestimated. So based on my argument, I think it is fair to assume. Hidden Power Unlocked Jiren at full power at the **very least is relative and if not stronger** than High Tier Gods of destruction and the fact that Goku managed to beat him also with a **skill Gods struggle to attain** , makes him superior to God of destruction tier.\n * The characters above Gods of Destruction shown on the show so far would be the Angels and the Grand Priest(Maybe even the Omni King's body guards considering how terrified Beerus was in _Episode 41_ or maybe he was afraid of Omni King in general also note: Omni Kings cannot fight). I think it is fair to assume Goku hasn't reached that level of strength. This is because we know Whis is able to knock out Beerus with just a tap on his forehead without any effort and at the same time, the angels have all mastered Ultra Instinct for a long amount of time before Goku. So it is fair to assume Goku is no where close to an angels level of strength considering he didn't destroy Jiren with that much ease\n\n \n\nSo, based on my argument I would rank Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku this way.\n\n 1.

It cannot be kept around the blade\nto increase the user's striking strength ; the sole exception are **Tensa\nZangetsu** 's Getsuga Tensho. In essence, the power of Tensa Zangetsu is to\n\"compress\" Ichigo's reiatsu around himself, drastically increasing his\nstrength and speed (as commented in Chapter 163, pages 19-20). This aspect\npartly manifests as the black robes donned by Ichigo. Tensa Zangetsu can\n\"capture\" a Getsuga Tensho when released and wrap it around Ichigo's blade to\nincrease striking strength.\n\nIn effect, they are not hugely different techniques ; but the creation method\nis quite different and sets them apart.\n\n",

Full Metal Panic's mech work like that.\n\nAnother option is one, where the pilot only gives rough high-level commands\nand it is mech's computer or AI that does all the detailed movement. I belive\nthat is how Susisei no Gargantia's mech works.\n\nIn either case, how the mech is piloted is irrelevant in majority of cases.\nWhich is why producers just don't bother to create more realistic system and\njust do something that vaguelly looks like the pilot is the one in control. It\nis only when the piloting method actually matters to the plot, that the method\nis actually fleshed out.

"body": "\n\n### In-Universe Explanations\n\nIn the _Gundam_ franchise, this is explained through the use of advanced\ncomputer systems that translate simple joystick motions into complex robotic\nmotions. According to in-universe theory, a human that's working within a\nbipedal, robot-like machine is able to work most effectively when the\nmachine's movements mimic those of the human body, especially since those\nmovements often balance it efficiently (such as how the legs and back move\nwhen you stretch out an arm). As such, engineers design the machine to make\nthose movements automatically as part of a commanded movement.\n\nThis principle has been extended to other anime franchises like _Macross_.\n\nAs you write, there are also mind-machine interfaces that translate human\nthought directly into machine movement.\n\n### Real World Explanation\n\nThe actual historical answer comes with the dawn of the giant robot genre in\nthe 1970's. Real-life machine interfaces were relatively primitive back then.\nThe average manga reader and anime viewer couldn't really imagine controlling\na robot with anything other than joysticks and buttons, so that's what anime\nand manga artists drew into the cockpits of mecha like _Mazinger Z_ and\n_Getter Robo_. They knew those interfaces wouldn't really be enough, but mecha\nseries were cheap children's entertainment with a heavy emphasis on selling\ntoys. It didn't matter if it was realistic, as long as it felt cool.\n\nThe boys (and girls!) who watched those shows grew up to make more recent\nmecha series, and often the unrealistic control schemes are tongue-in-cheek\nreferences to the silly controls they saw in those earlier shows.\nFundamentally, they understand that making a control scheme realistic didn't\nmatter back then, and doesn't matter now; it doesn't make your show any more\nor less popular.\n\n",
