"body": "\n\nI think she is neither of them, not Sadist nor Masochist (or maybe bother of\nthem at the same time, depends on how we look at it). But she is crazy (I\nreally mean mentally crazy) let me explain to you why.\n\nWhat junko really loves isn't really hurting or being hurt, what she loves is\nthe feeling of dispair, whether she is the one feeling it or making others\nfeeling it. So if making someone or herself feel despair goes through hurting\nthem or being hurt, then she won't hesitate to do so. But as I said , she is\ncrazy, because she has a paradox that keeps looping in her mind. The paradox\nis that she want others to feel despair, but she also wants to feel despair as\nwell, because her feeling despair makes her happy, but the problem is that in\norder to feel despair, she has to for exemple kill a loved one, but if we\nthink about it if you love someone enough, then you don't kill him, but she\nwould kill just for the sake of that despair. And the worse of all, is that\neven if you want to punish her for what she has done, you can't, because she\nwould feel joy out of being in despair if you were to punish her. So she is a\nlost case, a crazy one at it.\n\nSo her mind is obcessed with despair not necessarily with masochism or sadism,\nshe is just completely out of her mind.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nOn the Steam anime sale a little while back, I noticed that Steam has added\nsupport for steaming anime. One example is\n[Gintama](http://store.steampowered.com/app/600860/Gintama/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_1).\nWhen this sale was on, there was a large banner saying these streams have\nsomething to do with Crunchyroll, whilst not as apparent anymore, you can\nstill see this connection in Steam by visiting the 'Visit the website' button\nin the store. Which for Gintama, takes us to [this Crunchyroll\npage](http://www.crunchyroll.com/gintama).\n\nFor the complete list of these you can visit the [Anime Streaming Videos Steam\nStore\npage](http://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Released_DESC&tags=4085&category1=992).\nWhere the Crunchyroll streams, for me, start at Gintama and ends at Izetta:\nThe Last Witch.\n\nAre these streamed via Crunchyroll? \nIf so, what advantages and disadvantages do I have for paying and streaming\nthem through Steam, rather than Crunchyroll?\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIn technical terms, there is little different between the anime on the two\nsource platforms. There are some minor encoding improvements with the steam\nrelease, but this is probably not a strict attribute of the content\n\nI imagine it is more likely that Crunchyroll has an older version of their\nencoder on Steam videos in the internal rush to get the partnership out\n(Purely a hunch, but as a software developer myself, many companies work in a\nMVP \"Minimal Viable Product\" release environment, and do cleanup later).\n\nTherefore, I would assume that their encoding is likely to change, even if\nthey do not update to their site's encoder, they have a team of developers\nworking on their encoders to try to get maximum performance out of their\nservers (this caused some\n[backlash](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/5yv8a7/crunchyroll_has_reduced_bitrate_by_4070_damaging/?st=j2fy0c6a&sh=d6f6bddd)\nwhen Crunchyroll degraded quality substancially in the past).\n\nFor comparisons of image encoding, see [this Reddit\nthread](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/62fcg4/crunchyroll_and_steam_partner_up/).\n\n* * *\n\nThere are a few licensing differences between streaming via a Crunchyroll\nsubscription and purchasing a title to stream on Steam.\n\nThe most significant of which is that a purchased title will not expire. Often\nCrunchyroll will expire titles that are underperforming in exchange for newer\ntitles. When you purchase a title on Steam, you do not have to worry about\nthis happening.\n\nAlso of course, you do not have to pay recurring payments to keep access to\nyour titles.\n\n* * *\n\nThanks to @Peilonrayz for pointing out that Stream releases [are also\ncensored.](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/62fcg4/crunchyroll_and_steam_partner_up/dfm57e5/)\n\n* * *\n\nI believe the partnership with Steam is mostly a strategic move by Crunchyroll\nto develop a dual pricing model of their services. This can be seen also with\nthe introduction of their Manga Store, for manga that are unavailable with\ntheir subscription.\n\nPartnership with Steam also gives Crunchyroll access to a significant target\nmarket. Anime and Gaming overlaps significantly.\n\nI imagine that this is mostly driven by growth goals set by investors and\ndemand from publishers - Similar to the Spotify or Youtube model, streaming\ndoes not net much money for a series per view ( Crunchyroll claims counter to\nthis, but has not provided figures to date ) - however, if titles are sold\nindividually they can net much more. For larger series in particular, this is\na much more lucrative option.\n\nI imagine that in the future we will see this pricing model develop further.\n\n\\--\n\n**TLDR:** There is not much difference than the way you would like to pay for\nthe content. This move is more motivated by investors and producers\n\n",

"body": "\n\nUsing the [Angel Beats Wiki](http://angelbeats.wikia.com/wiki/Yui) heavily,\nYui seems to be based off [YUI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yui_\\(singer\\))\nthe Japanese singer. This is noted in the wiki in the Trivia section:\n\n> * Her back story seems to be a reference to Taiyou no Uta, a movie that\n> the singer YUI starred in.\n> * The title of the episode Yui disappeared in is \"Goodbye Days\" which is\n> also the title of the main song YUI sings in Taiyou no Uta.\n>\n\nSince YUI is a pop rock music artist, Yui may be based off the, punk, rock\ndress style. This can be seen in various aspects of here cloths:\n\n * BDSM fashion, as she wears two halves of a handcuff,\n * Fishnet like black ribbons,\n * A chocker,\n * Black boots, and\n * Two cross-shaped barrettes.\n\nSince punk rock was a rebellion against the system, and as they had\ntransgressive sexual practices, some people wore more extreme fetish fashion,\nwhich Yui also has:\n\n * Garters on both legs,\n * 'Demon' wings and tail, and\n * Cat teeth.\n\nAnd so I think it's reasonable to assume she's based loosely off the punk rock\nstyle, which may be an easter egg about YUI being a rock artist.\n\n* * *\n\nAn in-story explanation could be she wanted to dress however she wanted. This\nis as all, bar one, of her regrets are physical, which she couldn't do before\nshe died (Angel Beats Wiki):\n\n> As the series progresses, Otonashi was able to fulfill her regrets. He helps\n> her by doing the German Suplex, playing 5-on-1 soccer game (Maradona) and\n> playing baseball (though she doesn't hit a homerun). After telling Otonashi\n> that her last regret was marriage, Hinata later helps her fulfill her last\n> regret by proposing to her, and giving her a vision of what could have been\n> had they met in the real world.\n\n> Since she had to wear PJes since she was four till she was roughly a\n> teenager, I think it's safe to assume she wanted a different, more\n> expressive, change of cloths.\n\n",

Yes and No. We can take this in different point of view as\neverything like in the world, doesn't have just one answer.\n\n 1. **The Positive POV** : Yuzuru helped Hatsune more than could have ever hoped for. As we all know, she was slowly dying from cancer and judging by everything, it might even be uncurable. I'm figuring, Yuzuru did help her...a lot. As you may know, living aimlessly and slowly dying is a painful experience more so than death. The little girl got cancer, something that, from her age, couldn't just begin to grasp. I'm wondering how she faced it, but we already know how she dealt with it. Yuzuru, giving her manga daily/weekly? was enough of a drive for her to keep on going. It doesn't matter if the mangas he gave had contuinity. Just the manga itself would suffice. What really sealed the deal was the promise. Yuzuru promised Hatsune to go at the night of Christmas, something that she has always been looking forward for dearly and it became true. I think dying happily and achieving your dreams is a great kind of deal.\n\n 2. **The Negative POV** : Yuzuru really did indirectly fasten her death. With her debilitating health and added up with the cold weather, even against the doctor wishes, he still did it. Yuzuru caused Hatsune's death is somewhat true. Even if her death is sooner or later that we can ponder upon, those prescious days/weeks? are still important.\n\nAll-in-all, we can go by these two POV. I'll go with a POV. The satisfaction\nwas enough to give for someone he loved. Yuzuru gave the best memory Hatsune\ncould ever wish for. Spend the night of Christmas with his older brother\nrather than dying a slow and painful death. **So, it's up to you to decide**.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n## EXCLUDING/PRE DRAGON BALL SUPER (ANIME)\n\nThere is not much of difference or drastic change regarding his physical\nappearance between his base form and the power Old Kaiōshin unlocks for Gohan\nif we exclude the Dragon Ball Super anime. Even if there is a slight change in\nhis physical appearance it is unfortunately not noted down by anyone.\n\nThis is what Goku says in the manga after Gohan powers up with his new found\npowers (Tankōbon Volume 41, chapter 496):\n\n> **Son Goku:** “It re-really is incredible… It’s super-duper…! Absolutely\n> unbelievable… Your appearance has hardly changed… And you ain’t even a Super\n> Saiyan… Yet you’ve been taken to su-such an extreme…”\n>\n> **Elder Kaiōshin:** “Hmph, transforming isn’t good. That Super whatever-\n> it’s-called is the wrong way of doing things…”\n\n## INCLUDING DRAGON BALL SUPER (ANIME)\n\nIn episode 88, Toei seems to distinguish Gohan's base form and the power Old\nKaiōshin unlocked by adding a \"hair bang\" while he was using the the power Old\nKaiōshin unlocked. Although this may not be a 100% accurate way to distinguish\nhis physical appearance, but we will have to wait till episode 90 comes out\nand see if Gohan will have that \"hair bang\" only when he's using the power Old\nKaiōshin unlocked or not.\n\nIt should also be noted that in episode 88 it is somewhat implied by Piccolo\nthat Gohan has not been using the power Old Kaiōshin unlocked (at least only\nin the Dragon Ball Super anime) ever since after his fight with Super Buu.\n\n**NOTE:** By radiance I am assuming you mean the white aura surrounding him.\nThat is actually pretty common (at least for most of the Saiyans, humans and\nNamekians) when someone powers up in his/her base.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI am unfamiliar with how athletic clubs function, how serious competitive\nathletes who are studying at university manage their time, and how Japanese\nuniversities count credits, but here is an educated guess.\n\nIt appears that Yuuri was officially affiliated with a Japanese university,\nalthough I have no idea whether he put his studies on hold entirely while in\nDetroit or if he took classes while in Detroit and had his credits\ntransferred. We also do not know when exactly Yuuri moved to Detroit.\n\nIn episode 1, Yuuri shows us [his JSF\npage](https://i.stack.imgur.com/tM2iK.jpg). One entry on the list of\nbiographical is marked with\n[所属](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%89%80%E5%B1%9E) and thus appears to\ngive Yuuri's affiliation, which is with “紀伊学院大学,\" which is presumably the name\nof a fictional university in Japan. (大学 means _university_ , and a search for\n`\"紀伊学院大学\"` does not give results for any educational institution.) In\ncontrast, at the Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu Championship in ep. 5 (past the\n15:00 mark, before Yuuri's free skate), Yuuri's affiliation is noted to be\n\"Ice Castle Hasetsu.\" From this, it is reasonable to infer that Yuuri attended\n紀伊学院大学 in some capacity: I would think that someone affiliated with a\nuniversity's skating club would be affiliated with the university itself, and\nthat Yuuri's affiliation changes to Ice Castle Hasetsu after graduation\nsuggests that his affiliation was tied to his enrolment.\n\nNote also that Yuuri did not participate in any competitions after he crashed\nthrough Japanese Nationals at the beginning of the series and that Yuuri must\nhave graduated at some point between December and March. Yuuri must have\nrecently graduated when he returns home:\n\n * If he was thinking of taking a break and had no obligations, perhaps he would have returned sooner. (Yuuri notes in ep. 4 that he had not spoken to Celestino since after the GPF, and he is out-of-shape by the time Victor arrives.) That said, Yuuri could have simply avoided going home for a period.\n\n * A March graduation fits in with [the Japanese academic calendar](http://www.studyjapan.go.jp/en/toj/toj0203e.html), which begins in April and ends in March. Mari's comment that Yuuri had to take an extra year also fits in with that, although it is not necessarily _impossible_ to reconcile a March graduation with taking an extra year at an American university.\n\n",

On the side of the house, they store a hefty pile of wood, and none of the surrounding trees looked to be cut down so we can assume that the area in question is likely in a forest or near a forest at the base of a mountain (Manga, Vol. 2, pg 36)\n * When Mikasa is kidnapped, she is taken to another rural location that shares the same wood-like housing structure, surrounded by trees, and with a mountain very close by in the back drop, and the house looks to be on an incline of some sort (Manga, Vol. 2, pg 42)\n * Shortly thereafter we get a brief flashback to a childhood memory that confirms the house is at the base of forest, and the house is also a farmland house (Manga, Vol.2, pg 62). \n * Now, we know that Eren lived at Shiganshina, and there are two forests on either side of this area, either being a plausible location for the location of Mikasa's childhood home. The area to the north east of Shiganshina is where the encounter with the Female titan takes place and so we know there's a forest there. The area to the north west of Shiganshina is where Krista's kidnapping occurs, so we know there's a forest there as well. \n * But, as mentioned above, the childhood home of Mikasa was located near or within a forest, and the forest was also near a decent-sized mountain range. Cross-referencing with the terrain provided in Volume 2 of the manga, only mountain ranges within any of the walls are north west of Shiganshina. There are no mountain ranges to the north east of Shiganshina (Manga, Vol. 2, pg 38)\n * Lastly, for the argument that Mikasa lived outside of the walls, remember that the location was close enough to Eren's home in Shiganshina that Eren and his father traveled to Mikasa's house by foot. And, in Attack on Titan, no one goes through titan territory without a horse. So, considering that they traveled to Mikasa's house by foot it would be safe to assume that the location they were traveling to was within Wall Maria but outside of Wall Rose.\n\nThat means that the most likely location for Mikasa's childhood home is\nsomewhere near Chlorba, likely south east of it, but still within Wall Maria.\nAt least until further information is released that proves otherwise.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nFrom the ShingekiNoKyojin subreddit, fans have referred to this as \"berserk\"\nmode. What is important for any anime-only watcher of the series to know is\nthat berserk mode, or flame mode, isn't present in the Shingeki no Kyojin\nmanga.\n\nThis means that berserk mode has no relevance to events further down in the\nstory for the manga. This may change in the anime, and berserk mode may be an\nimportant plot point, but I think it's far more likely that Eren will not\nenter berserk mode again in the series. I think it was just the animators\nadding a little bit of filler to the Annie fight.\n\nTo answer your question, is flame mode stronger? Yeah probably a little. If\nanything it was a visual notifier to the audience that Eren had a second wind\nand increased motivation to take Annie out, thus making him \"stronger\" in a\nsense.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nYes, they're first cousins on their respective fathers' side.\n\n* * *\n\nWhether this is weird or not depends on your cultural background. In certain\nHindu communities in north India, a relationship between fourth cousins would\nbe deemed illicit, never mind first cousins. On the other hand, in certain\nparts of the Middle East, first-cousin marriages are quite prevalent,\naccounting for upwards of 30% of marriages in some places (e.g.\n[Jordan](http://www.economist.com/news/middle-east-and-\nafrica/21693632-marriage-between-close-relatives-much-too-common-keeping-it-\nfamily) and [Saudi Arabia](http://english.alarabiya.net/en/life-style/art-and-\nculture/2015/04/04/Health-fears-question-Arab-tradition-of-cousin-\nmarriages-.html)).\n\nWhat about Japan?\n\nMy understanding is that first-cousin relationships in Japan are rare enough\nthat they would be considered unusual ([this 1986\npaper](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3780039) suggests 1.6%; table 15 of\n[this\nwhitepaper](http://www.ipss.go.jp/syoushika/bunken/data/pdf/14168401.pdf)\nsuggests rates as high as 2.89% in some parts). However, they are not\nforbidden by law or by religious doctrine, and are generally not stigmatized\nto the same degree as in, say, the United States or most of Europe. Indeed,\n[Naoto KAN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naoto_Kan) (prime minister of Japan\n2010-2011) is married to his first cousin.\n\n* * *\n\nGetting back to the topic of anime, it's worth noting that same-generation\nincest is considerably overrepresented in anime and related \"otaku\" media\nrelative to its occurrence in real life (for proof, observe that _Who is\n\"Imouto\"?_ is a thing that exists). So, not only would a relationship between\nHarutora and Natsume not be that weird in real Japan, when you look at it from\na \"meta\" point of view, it's even less weird that such a thing would happen in\nan anime.\n\n",

If he did have to wait for 10 years, he's **very underpowered**. I don't think it applied to him because everyone knew about his ability and if that rule applied to him, he'd have used the ability for a maximum of 2 or 3 times (not possible, 2 is max because 2 eyes), many people wouldn't know about it.\n 2. Itachi said that Kotoamatsukami takes 10 years to recharge for those who don't have Hashirama's cells.\n 3. There are 2 ways he could know the recharge period. \n * Shisui told him. That would mean, this drawback would apply to him too. But its very unlikely that he had the Mangekyo for over 10 years. So he himself wouldn't know about the recharge period.\n * He used Kotoamatsukami just after Shisui died and he knew the period was 10 years because it activated after 10 years in the war. This is dumb. I'm dumb. Itachi is smart. He wouldn't gamble.\n * The third way, I know I said two but bear with me. **THIS IS A PLOT HOLE.** Every anime has one. Itachi just couldn't know the recharge time.\n\n**THOUGHTS**\n\nHow does Hashirama's cells affect the eyes? If we give the eye which has been\nused for Kotoamatsukami to say Danzo/Yamato (someone who has his cells), would\nthe eyes recharge instantly?\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI have decided to edit this question to remove the huge quote text from the\nWikia and sum it up in my own words. you can read up on the original from of\nthis answer [here](https://anime.stackexchange.com/revisions/40451/1)\n\n* * *\n\nArtoria (or Arturia as the common mis-translation) was born during the war-\ntorn Dark Ages after Britannia lost it's protection from the Roman Empire.\nDuring this time Uther Pendragon was the King of Britain and he had already\nfathered a daughter (Morgan le Fay) with the wife of the wife of the Duke of\nCornwall, Igraine.\n\nMerlin, an Human/Incubus Hyrbid and a powerful Magus, had prophesied that\ntheir next child would be Uther's successor as king and Uther believed this.\nHowever when Arturia was born Uther despaired as she was born a girl, not a\nboy. in those times a King could not make a child that was not male his\nsuccessor even if she was fated to one day become a king. Merlin was delighted\nbecause the sex of the child had never mattered and he was confident that if\nArturia was separated from the castle until the day of prophecy it would be\nproof that she would become king.\n\nAt the age of five, Arturia was entrusted to one of the king's vassals, Sir\nEctor, who while he did not believe in the prophecy he did feel the same air\nfrom the young Arturia as he did his king. Arturia was then adopted and raised\nwith Ector's own son Kay training them both as simple knight apprentices.\n\nKay could tell that Arturia would grow up to be a beauty woman but his father\ntold him to guide her like she was his brother and decided to treat her in\nthat manner, though he did not believe it would be kept secret. Initially\nArturia was raised under the belief that she and Kay were related by blood,\nbut she was later told the truth while growing up. Despite this their\nrelationship did not diminish from the truth, and they still felt they were\ntrue siblings.\n\nArturia acted as Kay's squire and received training from him while also doing\nother chores such as pulling along his horse. During their sparring Arturia\nwas the greater in terms of swordsmanship however Kay would use \"warped\nreasoning just on the verge of being correct\" to make her feel like she had\nlost despite winning, reasoning like\n\n * \"You lose since you threw away your sheath!\"\n * \"I'm still alive so don't act like you won!\"\n\nDuring one rainy day while Artoria was sick, Kay's mother had to leave so only\nhe was available to tend to her. Telling Arturia \"it would be troublesome for\nme if you were to die now\", he promised to do anything she requested in\nexchange for getting well quickly. Being very persistent in having her request\nsomething Arturia said she wanted to \"dream of a lion running across plains.\"\nTo fulfill this Kay carved a wooden lion. The carving was poor as Kay was\nhoping to make an old, dying lion unable to hurt a mouse so as to not have it\nharm her in her dreams and Arturia compared it to a cross between a dog and a\ncat, but she appreciated it and was able to see the dream.\n\nWhile being raised by Ector Merlin also visited teaching Arturia and acting as\na sort of foster father figure to her. he also also revealed Arturia's gender\nto Kay making him swear to secrecy.\n\nWhen Arturia was 15 the day of prophecy arrived and Merlin prepared Caliburn\nfor the selection of the next king. when the Knights and Lords gathered for\nthe selection of the next king they expected the selection to be through\njousting to select the most superior one to become a king, but they were\npresented with Caliburn stuck in a stone with the inscription on the hilt\nreading\n\n> Whosoe'er pulleth out this sword of this stone is rightwise king born of\n> England.\n\nWhile many knights grabbed the sword trying to follow the command, none were\nable to pull it out. With no successful attempts they began the expected\njousting to make the selection. at this time Arturia was still an apprentice\nand thus not qualified to joust. she neared the now deserted stone and reached\nout for the sword without hesitation.\n\nBefore grabbing it, Merlin appeared before her to tell her to think things\nover before taking it. He told her she would no longer be human upon taking\nthe sword, but she had been prepared for the fact that \"becoming a king means\nno longer being human\" ever since she was born knowing that a king is someone\nwho kills everyone to protect everyone, having thought about it every night\nand shuddered until morning came with not a day passing where she did not fear\nthat fact. to Merlin her response was a nod saying that the fear she has felt\nwould end then\n\nArturia pulled the sword out effortlessly as per her fate and in that instant\nShe became something not human. to everyone else there so long as she acted\nlike a good king no would care for her appearance of gender. Taking the sword\nalso had an effect on her body stopping her from aging as such from then on\nthe King would have a body of a 15 year old.\n\nAfter that Arturia, Merlin and Kay went through various adventures while\ntraining eventually calling herself the rightful King of the country while\nreclaiming the country and the 3 of them formed the original Round Table but\nlater was joined bu Bedivere and Gawain who along with Kay becomes the most\nsenior knights.\n\nAt some point during their adventures Arturia came to care for a lion cub for\na month. While she claims that it wasn't because she liked them (most probably\ndue to the carved lion she was given by her beloved brother) she formed a bond\nwith the young cub who had become attached to her. the lion cub was very\nenergetic, often biting or scratching, but experiencing the happiness she felt\nfrom this she wished to be able to stay with the sub until the end. while it's\nnot documented on when this occurred given the images we have seen of Arturia\nas King and in battle where she wears the same blue attire under her armor i\nsuspect it was during this adventures due to what she is wearing [in a\nflashback image in the Visual Novel](https://i.stack.imgur.com/FjXXf.jpg)\n\nMorgan le Fay, who was born as the proper, recognized daughter of King Uther\nand Arturia's older sister of the same status, in her eyes believed Arturia\nreceived the love and hopes of their father that should have been hers, became\nwitch queen who craved for vengeance. during their adventures Morgan executed\na trap which saw Arturia loose Caliburn to which afterwords Arturia goes to\nVivian, the Lady of the Lake (and Morgan's polar opposite).\n\nAfter the final battle against her uncle Vortigern, Arturia claimed her\nkingdom Camelot and spent ten years in peace. during this time Arturia had to\ndeal with the problem of being able to produce an heir. to \"help\" Merlin used\nhis magecraft to make Arturia into a pseudo-male capable of producing sperm\nfor an unknown duration of time. during this time however Morgan le Fay ~~got\nher sister drunk~~ used her magic to enchant her sister to take some of\nArturia's sperm. using her own ovaries Morgan developed the sperm and have\nbirth to a homunculus clone of her sister. this was Mordred.\n\nArturia met the daughter of King Leodegrance, Guinevere, and the 2 wedded to\nmake an outward appearance of a \"kingdom\" in Britain. They even held a grand\nwedding ceremony that lasted close to seven days and was celebrated throughout\nthe land. However it was marriage out of necessity rather than love, where\nArturia, the \"husband\" was not a man and the marriage would never be\nconsummated.\n\nDuring this time Mordred was raised by Morgan to believe it was her right\ndefeat the King and inherit the throne. Through her mother's recommendations\nand a presentation of her own swordsmanship, was able to be counted as one of\nthe Knights of the Round Table. despite her mother's obsessive hatred for\nArturia Mordred never hated Arturia yet idealized her as the perfect king. she\nlater learned of her heritage of being Arturia's \"son\" and was happy in\nlearning that she shared the same blood as the king she idolized, however\nMordred also felt ashamed of her twisted birth.\n\nAs Arturia continued to be king she kept to the oath that a king is not human\nand that one cannot protect the people with human emotions. never narrowing\nher eyes in grief while on the throne and settling every problem while working\nhard in government affairs, Arturia managed to balance the country without any\ndeviations, and punished people without a single mistake. this however lead\none of her Knight, Sir Tristan to leave Camelot saying\n\n> The King does not understand how others feel\n\nhearing this Lancelot wished to lessen the burden for his King, a wish that\nGuinevere also held. While they conversed with each other they came to\nrecognize each other as friends and rely on one another and it was then that\nLancelot began to fall for Guinevere. it was though Guinevere that he learned\nof Arturia being a woman and the true meaning to Guinevere's marriage to her.\n\nAt some point in time Mordred approached Arturia about her identity and her\n\"son\" but rather getting the acceptance she had hoped for Arturia rejected her\nstating that while Mordren was her child born from her and Morgan's plotting\nshe could not recognize Mordred as her \"son\" or give her the Throne. Mordred\nbelieved this however was because Arturia hated Morgan and no matter what she\ndid, the moment she was born from Morgan she was a dirtied child and the shame\nof her birth began to become hatred.\n\nLancelot and Guinevere began to have an affair and this was discovered by\nAgravain, one of Arturia's Knights and an assassin hired by Morgan who he\nhated. Agravain was loyal to the King however he hated women due to Morgan and\nwhen he uncovered the affair he also learned of Arturia's true gender. he\ntried to threaten Guinevere with the fact of her affair but failed. before his\ndeath and seeing Mordred's growing hatred (while probably not knowing Mordred\nwas a woman as well) he revealed the affair to her who used it to sow mistrust\nin the Knights of the Round Table and destroying the prestige of the King in\nthe eyes of the people.\n\nWhen Arturia learned of the affair she did not blame anyone but rather\nunderstood knowing Guinevere's and Lancelot's sacafrice. however still acting\nin the capacity of a king and this times adultery was a serious crime, Arturia\ndiscarded her emotions and had Guinevere executed. Lancelot tried to stop to\nsave her, killing several of his fellow knights including Gawain's brothers,\nGareth and Gaheris but ultimately failed and fled back to his homeland of\nFrance.\n\nWhen Arturia left for the Rome expedition Mordred became the leader of the\nrebellion representing the national discontent towards the King. when Arturia\nreturned Mordred raged and proclaiming her hatred of the king and that only\nshe was fit for the throne. the truth was that she only wanted to be accepted\nby Arturia as her \"son\". this sparked the civil war that would later claim\ntheir lives.\n\nshortly before the final battle of Camlann Avalon, the sheath to Excalibur\nthat gave Arturia immortality, was stolen due to the machinations of Morgan le\nFay. Lancelot, even after being excommunicated, wanted to participate in the\nBattle of Camlann to serve his King but Gawain hostilely rejected him due to\nhis hatred.\n\nMerlin left Arturia before the final battle because of his own love affair\nproblems claiming that an evil witch (Morgan?) tried to murder him so he fled\nto the Reverse Side of the World and thus the land of Avalon where he thought\nthe witch wouldn't reach him, however the gate he encountered was a trap which\ncreated a sealing \"tower\" called the Garden of Avalon and having transcended\ndeath, is trapped for all eternity and thus can never enter the Throne of\nHeroes.\n\nDuring their final battle Mordred hated the \"Son of Morgan\" but Arturia\nreplied\n\n> Not once did I despise you. There was only one reason I would not give you\n> the throne. You didn't have the capacity of a King.\n\nIn their battle Mordred was fatally wounded by Rhongomyniad but because of a\ncurse on her, after death still swung her sword and fatally wounded Arturia.\n\nArturia's dying body was escorted to a holy isle by Sir Bedivere where she\nordered a grieving knight to dispose of Excalibur by throwing it back to the\nLady of the Lake, an order he failed twice beliving that the moment Excalibur\nwas returned to Vivian Arturia would die.\n\nIn Bedivere's absence, she reflected on her personal failures, regretting her\nlife as king. **Before her last breath, she appealed to the world; in exchange\nfor services as a Heroic Spirit, she asked to be given an opportunity seek the\nHoly Grail to save her country.**\n\n* * *\n\ni emphasize the last bit as after this is when Arturia made her contract with\nthe world and started to be summoned to the Holy Grail Wars. unlike the other\nHeroic Spirits who are effectively clones of their real selves in the Throne\nof Heroes, Arturia never made it there which is why she can retain her\nmemories of previous times she has been summoned.\n\nafter the events of Fate/Stay Night, depending on the route Arturia' fate\ndifferent. i summarize it in [this\nanswer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/7300/1587) but to sum that up\n\n> \\- In **Fate** we see Arturia accept things when Sir Bedivere returns for\n> the final time \n> \\- In **-Last Episode-** because Arturia terminated her contract with the\n> World by destroying the Holy Grail by her own will she goes to\n> [Avalon](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Reverse_Side_of_the_World#Avalon) in\n> the Reverse Side of the World, waiting for Shirou who eventually reunites\n> with her as apart of a miracle Merlin talks about\n\n> \\- In **Unlimited Blade Works:** \n> \\- In the Good End she remains with Rin as her Servant \n> \\- In the True Ending Arturia fades away however we don't know if her\n> contract was terminated or not and if it was if she ended up in Avalon\n> aswell\n\n> \\- in **Heaven's Feel** , regardless of the ending Arturia is corrupted by\n> Angra Mainyu and is killed by Shirou close to the final battle. we don't\n> know of her fate after this\n\n> \\- in _Fate/Hollow Ataraxia_ she is summoned for Angra Mainyu false Holy\n> Grail War. because Angra Mainyu was trying to recreate the 3rd war Arturia\n> is summoned as if she was summoned by the Edelfelt sisters who used their\n> sorcery trait to summon 2 Sabers (2 sides of the same Hero) Arturia is\n> summoned with the ability to swap with her Alter personality (the Arturia\n> corrupted by Angra Mainyu)\n\nAlso while we do not know when about in Arturia's own timeline this occured\n\n * in _Fate/Labyrinth_ she is summoned as Norma Goodfellow's/Manaka Sajyou's Servant during the Subcategory Holy Grail in Caubac Alcatraz's labyrinth. she forms a party with 3 other Servants, Archer ([Robin Hood from _Fate/Extra_](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Archer_\\(Fate/Extra\\))), Caster ([Medea from _Fate/Stay Night_](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Caster_\\(Fate/stay_night\\))) and Assassin ([Hassan-i-Sabbah from _Fate/Stay Night_](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/True_Assassin_\\(Fate/stay_night\\))). because of a fading contract with Norma/Manaka and the uses of her Nobel Phantasm during one battle Arturia fades away but not before saying her goodbyes to the other 3 Servants and entrusting them to give Norma/Manaka a Mystic Code she found\n\n* * *\n\ni would also add that at some point Arturia's Bloodline survived somehow as in\nother Type-Moon Works Lord El-Melloi II (Waver Velvet's name after the 4th\nHoly Grail War) meets with [Gray](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Gray) who\nbecomes his assistant. aside from her appearance being like that of Arturia\nwhich bring up unpleasant memories of the 4th Holy Grail War for Lord El-\nMelloi II Gray also can wield Rhongomyniad.\n\nwhile not something special in itself Rhongomyniad is passed down through the\ngenerations with it's mystery preserved similar manner to the Tradition\nCarrier trait held by the Fraga family (Bazett Fraga McRemitz) which is passed\ndown to a single successor from generation to generation through a pathogen in\nthe Fraga bloodline. (similar manner as it's not know if there is a pathogen\nin Arturia's bloodline like that of the Fraga).\n\ncurrently all we know is that Gray was born in a cemetery. we don't know from\nwho she descends from or if the bloodline tied to Rhongomyniad starts from\nArturia or from Uther (in which the bloodline could continue with Morgan who\nin the Nasuverse (according to the wikia) is Uther's daughter not the Duke of\nCornwall unlike in other Arthurian Legends)\n\n* * *\n\nSources (all the Type-Moon Wikia)\n\n * [Saber (Fate/Stay Night)](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Saber_\\(Fate/stay_night\\))\n * [Guinevere](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Guinevere)\n * [Berserker (Fate/Zero)](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Berserker_\\(Fate/Zero\\))\n * [Archer (Fate/Grand Order - Tristan)](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Tristan)\n * [Avalon](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Avalon)\n * [Kay](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Kay)\n * [Caster (Fate/Grand Order - Merlin)](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Caster_\\(Fate/Grand_Order_-_Merlin\\))\n * [Morgan le Fay](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Morgan_le_Fay)\n * [Rhongomyniad](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Rhongomyniad)\n * [Gray](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Gray)\n * [Vortigern](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Vortigern)\n * [Agravain](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Agravain)\n * [Fragarach](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Fragarach)\n * [Saber of Red](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Mordred)\n * [List of minor character - Vivian](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Vivian#Vivian)\n\n",

"body": "\n\nFirst your question is wrong as it should be C17, C18 and not C19. The\ncomments answer your question well, but still I will answer. According to\n[Dragon Ball wiki](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Android):\n\n> Androids (人造人間, Jinzōningen; lit. \"Artificial Human\") are robotic/cyborg\n> humans, most of which were created by the evil scientist Dr. Gero. Most of\n> the androids are said to have unlimited energy and eternal life .\n\nTo be more specific, both 17 and 18 were human-based cyborgs, not purely\nartificial constructs like 16 and 19 were. In the original Japanese version of\nthe manga and anime, they are referred to as \"jinzou-ningen\", or \"artificial\nperson\", which is a catch-all term for cyborgs and androids alike. In English\ndub it got lost and all 4 got named as Androids. So Androids in DBZ are\nactually better characterized as cyborgs, which are human beings enhanced with\nbio organic components to increase their strength and such. So technically,\nThey are still human, just mechanically enhanced with bio organic components,\nso technically not weapons, thus giving them the ability to have children. I\nbelieve their alternative name in the manga is \"C 17/18\" meaning \"Cyborg\n17/18.\"\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/5TmjD.png)\n\nAs we know Android 18 has a baby with Kuririn which proves she is partial\nhuman (humanoid).\n\nAnother interesting fact is that Android 17 also has a family of his own and\nhas one kid and two adopted kids.\n\nIn an [interview](http://www.kanzenshuu.com/translations/db-full-color-\nartificial-humans-cell-arc-06/):\n\n> **Interviewer** : _Where’d Artificial Human No. 17 go after the Cell arc,\n> and what did he do?_\n>\n> **Akira Toriyama** : _He works in the wildlife preserve area of a gigantic\n> royal nature park, as an outstanding guard who doesn’t hold back against\n> poachers. It’s an ideal job for No. 17, who loves to be on his own and isn’t\n> big on cooperating with others; since he’s so good at his job, he takes in a\n> high salary. He’s married to a zoologist; they have one child and two\n> adopted children, and live happily in an isolated house inside the nature\n> park._\n\nHe went and met No. 18 and Kuririn one time, but didn’t talk about what he’d\nbeen up to, maybe because he considers such a wholesome lifestyle\nembarrassing.\n\nComing to the Frost scenario. Frost was disqualified because he used a weapon\n(poisonous nail) which wasn't part of his body.\n\nFor Androids, it's just their natural body.\n\nBy the way Androids usually count as beings in DBZ.\n\nAlso, Mosco The God of Destruction of Universe 3 looks like a robot or\nandroid.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/eCiIr.png)\n\nWatch the episode on 28/5/17. Everything must be clear now as Universe 3 are\ngetting robots to enter the Tournament Of Power.\n\nMortals: All beings who don't have a godly status (divine) are mortals.\nFurthermore there are 2 type of divine beings:\n\n 1. Born Naturally Divine: e.g. Supreme Kais, Angels, Zen-Oh, etc.\n 2. Mortals Turned Divine: e.g. God Of Destructions, Gods of other realms and sections where god is a position granted by capability not birth right.\n\nFor example:\n\n 1. Even Dende isn't a mortal, he is a God (Guardian Of Earth). Don't confuse this with Godly-ki Or God-ki. Both are different, even mortals like Goku and Vegeta can have Godly-ki through training with Whis or SSG ritual. \nOR \nIf Goku becomes a God Of Destruction and Beerus steps down then Goku would be\na god and Beerus would again turn to a mortal.\n\nThis is from [Dragon Ball\nwika](http://legendsofthemultiuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Gods_of_Destruction_\\(Dragon_Ball\\)):\n\n> The Gods of Destruction (破壊神, Hakaishin; Literal meaning \"Destruction God\"),\n> also known as Destroyers, are beings who destroy planets, as opposed to the\n> Supreme Kais, the Gods of Creation, who create and fill planets with life,\n> in order to maintain the balance of the universe. Along with the Kais, they\n> rule and oversee the formerly eighteen, currently twelve universes, with\n> each universe having its own destroyer. Unlike the Angels and the Supreme\n> Kais, whom they work alongside and with, and who are all are both and each\n> members of their own species, both being naturally divine, the Gods of\n> Destruction vary widely in species, with none sharing theirs, except for\n> Beerus and Champa, who are twins, and are mortal-turned-divine individuals\n> from naturally mortal species.\n\n",

This quote from the wiki reinforces this: \"Aria lived with\nAlbert and Ais long before the start of the story until their battle against\nthe One Eyed Black Dragon, after which her fate is unknown\"\n([Wiki](https://danmachi.fandom.com/wiki/Aria))\n\nAt the least, Aria is most likely not dead. So, if Aiz is aware of this, then\nit would make sense that any reminder of her mother would also make her\nremember the death of her father—who is certainly \"Deceased\"\n([Wiki](https://danmachi.fandom.com/wiki/Albert_Waldstein)), rather than\nsimply \"Status Unknown\" like Aria.\n\nTherefore, it follows that Aiz would feel hatred towards the OEBD when a\nstimulus makes her recall this memory, which would inevitably arouse her anger\nno matter the situation. An example is that Aiz becomes enraged whenever she\nfights against any type of dragon—infant, Valgang, even Wiene.\n\nMy point is, she is recalling past trauma connected to her mother and her\nhatred for the OEBD. This would also explain her illogical actions when facing\ndragons—\"she launched herself to the 12th Floor to face Infant Dragons despite\nhow dangerous they were\"\n([Wiki](https://danmachi.fandom.com/wiki/Ais_Wallenstein)).\n\n",

It is, notably, not part of [\"Akiba's\nCollection\"](http://vgmdb.net/album/64457), unlike all the other EDs.\n\n# Background context\n\nSo, in _Akiba's Trip: The Animation_ , there are these three characters,\nMayonaka Matome, Denkigai Niwaka, and Arisa Ahokainen. Within the show, they\nform an idol unit called \"Manias\".\n\nThese three characters are voiced, respectively, by TAKAHASHI Rie, KOUNO\nMarika, and NAGAKU Yuki. In real life, they constitute an idol unit called\n\"Earphones\".\n\nThe \"trademark\" song of the Manias, so to speak, is a song titled \"Sanki\nTousen\" (サンキトウセン). They perform this song as an insert in episode 3 and again\nin episode 11. \"Sanki Tousen\" performed by Manias is the ED for episode 4.\n\nSeparately, Earphones (the real-life idol unit) performs this same song as the\nED for episode 3. The Earphones version of \"Sanki Tousen\" is track #3 on the\nalbum [\"Akiba's Collection\"](http://vgmdb.net/album/64457).\n\nYou might be sitting there wondering why I'm asking this question, given that\nI've just pointed out that Manias and Earphones consist of exactly the same\npeople. What difference could there possibly be between the two versions of\nthe song?\n\nWell, it turns out that the Manias version is discernibly sung in-character,\nwhile the Earphones version isn't. This is easiest to detect with Nagaku Yuki,\nwhose character voice (Arisa) differs most significantly from her regular\nsinging voice. A careful comparison of the two versions of the Arisa solo\nverse that begins \" _seseragi_ \" will make it clear that the two versions are\nsubtly different.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nWell the only reason she never went Super Saiyan in GT was because Akira\nToriyama stated that Pan and Bulla never had the incentive to go Super Saiyan\nand that at the time he did not know how a female Super Saiyan would look.\nSince we now have female Super Saiyans, Caulifla and Kale, Toriyama would be\nable to make Pan a Super Saiyan. Especially since she was exposed to all that\npower when doing the ritual for Goku to go Super Saiyan God, she could\ndefinitely go Super Saiyan.\n\nThere was so much power that Videl herself had blonde Super Saiyan-like hair.\nVidel herself didn't go Super Saiyan but probably from all the energy\nsurrounding her and the energy from Pan inside her she had blonde hair. Since\nToriyama now has a way for female Saiyans to go Super Saiyan I believe that\nboth Pan and Bulla will be able to go Super Saiyan. I believe that Bulla has a\nhigher chance since she is coming directly from Vegeta himself and would be\nhalf Saiyan and half human like Goten, Trunks, and Gohan. Since Pan is only\nlike a quarter Saiyan it would be harder for her to achieve Super Saiyan. This\nis all just what I believe and I believe that Pan and Bulla has more than\nenough potential to go Super Saiyan just like Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, Goten,\nGohan, Cabba, Caulifla, and Kale. Even in GT Goku Jr. was able to go Super\nSaiyan and he was like 1/16 of a Saiyan which is way less than any of the\nother half-breeds.\n\nIt all depends on if Toriyama decides to go past the ending of Z in Super or\nif he just decides to leave the end of Z the ultimate end to Dragon Ball\nitself and whatever happens after we'll never know. I'm hoping that they go\npast the ending of Z especially since the whole purpose of the anime is to\nsell merchandise like toys and video games. I don't know about toys but I do\nknow that games like Xenoverse 2 and the new Fighterz that is coming out soon\nis making them a ton of money. And since Bandai Namco themselves said there\nwill be more Xenoverse games we know that those will rake in a ton of money.\nThe series as a whole depends on us as the fans in order to continue the anime\nand manga. We just need to keep supporting Dragon Ball as much as we can.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIn chapters 18-19 of _Aoi Hana_ , it is revealed that the third-year Yasuko\nSugimoto is moving to England with Ayako Kawasaki, her co-star in Fujigaya's\nproduction of _Wuthering Heights_. The discussion surrounding this revelation\ngives a romantic undertone to this relationship — a newspaper headline is\nshown with \"Catherine Heathcliff Honeymoon in England.\" It is unclear whether\nthis should be taken any more seriously than straight teenage girls who\nproclaim to be \"married to\" or \"engaged to\" or \"dating\" their close female\nfriends. (I personally assumed that there was potential for a relationship,\nbut that it probably would not develop in that direction.)\n\nLater, during Akira and Fumi's second year, Sugimoto visits Japan and has a\nconversation with Kyouko Ikumi in ch. 32, in which Kawasaki is mentioned:\n\n> Ikumi: … And do you have any plans with Kawasaki-sempai?\n>\n> Sugimoto: Huh? I see her all the time over there. I'm not going to go out of\n> my way to see her here.\n>\n> Ikumi: So that's how things are between you? How nice. I like that sort of\n> relationship.\n>\n> Sugimoto: Well, we're taking it slow over there … Letting our love blossom.\n\nSugimoto's final comment suggested to me that there is indeed something\nbetween her and Kawasaki. However, in ch. 52, which depicts the events around\nIkumi's wedding, we are told that Kawasaki is in the hospital with\nappendicitis. We also learn from Ryouko Ueda that:\n\n> Right now, her boyfriend and her roommate are looking after her [Kawasaki].\n\n[The panel](https://i.stack.imgur.com/i5xXD.jpg) also shows a character who\nclearly is not Sugimoto and who is probably male.\n\nWith this in mind, was Sugimoto _ever_ romantically involved with Kawasaki,\nand if so, do we know anything about what happened to their relationship or\nwhy Kawasaki now has a boyfriend? Alternatively, am I misinterpreting\nsomething in the exchange with Ikumi?\n\n",

"body": "\n\nIn the Dragonball series, in one of the tournaments, Krillin was fighting\nMaster Roshi. They had a clash, which happened in an instant. No one saw what\nhappened, so they acted the scene out in explaining in detail what happened.\nIt included several attacks, and even a game of rock paper scissors. I don't\nknow if its was in the manga or not, but it is solid evidence showing their\nspeed. Even way back then, when large boulders were a challenge to deal with,\nthey were still fast enough to, in an instant, play a game of rock paper\nscissors and know who won and lost, in the middle of throwing several attacks.\n\nLater on in the series, we see higher speed fighting. Spectators see numerous\nshock waves filling their vision, each several meters apart. The fighters are\nattacking/defending in one place, then distance themselves and clash again\ndozens of meters apart numerous times in a very short period of time. This\nkind of speed is a higher leveled version of the Rock paper scissors earlier.\n\nWith such things as evidence, we can say it is very possible that they can\ntalk at high speed when necessary. Sometimes, they do talk as they are\nclashing, though we only ever see that from their perspective, so we cant say\nfor sure if they slowed down or not to talk. So while they at least somewhat\ncan talk at a higher speed thanks to their insane speed and ability to\ncomprehend everything while going at such speeds, they generally don't, and we\ndon't have any solid evidence if they truly can.\n\nBut, there are other factors at play here. First off, Anime, even in the\nmiddle of canon fights, can and usually do throw in filler. They extend the\nfights to make the show go on longer, filling in more minutes with less story.\nThere are numerous examples where people are exhausted in the middle of a\nfight, and yet later in the same fight that is still going on, they magically\nrecovered, because of such filler. Some of that Frieza fight in the anime was\nfiller, or canon scenes extended to fill more time.\n\nSecondly, due to their vast speed, their clashes can be significantly faster\nthan portrayed. Some times, they even count the seconds, and yet each time the\ncount goes down can not only be greater than a second between them, but that\ntime gap can even vary. When we are viewing the fights from the perspective of\nGoku, we cant possibly tell how much it has been slowed down for us to\ncomprehend.\n\nA third thing, specific to this case, Frieza held back, which caused the 5\nminutes in the first place\n\n<http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Frieza>\n\n> In frustration, Frieza sends a Death Ball into the core of the planet,\n> starting a chain reaction that would destroy Namek in five minutes\n> (revealing immediately afterwards that he held back too much of his power\n> for the Death Ball to be a complete success).\n\nIts not unreasonable that his estimation was off by a few minutes due to his\nfear of being on the planet as it explodes, with an opponent he doesn't know\nhe can win against. The wiki summary of the 5 minutes is also quite short,\nhalf the size of this answer, not a lot actually happened in those 5 minutes.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nMost of the titles are words native to the Anisotropic Language. Often you can\ninfer their meanings from the contexts of the episodes, though this is\nspeculation for any unconfirmed.\n\nBut this also means there is no translation of the Japanese. One is the\n\"official english\" style title, and the romanized form comes from the fact\nthat they are written with Kana - which is often used for borrowed language\nAKA words that aren't inherently Japanese, so that the Japanese know how to\nsay them. Borrowed language isn't translated, only romanized as the kana tells\nthe japanese how to say something in the language it's written. (Such as when\nkana reads \"SUTORI\" it's them using the English word \"Story\".)\n\nThere is only one episode where you could actually use the Kana, write it in\nhiragana/kanji and it would have meaning. And that was Episode 10's\ntowanosakiwa (written in Japanese you would get 永久の先は which is actually rather\nabstract still, meaning either Eternity's Future, OR, Eternity's Past). This\ncould also be a sign of zaShunina's progressively becoming more human state,\nthat the choice of word though still written as though borrowed from the\nanisotropic still holds meaning in Japanese.\n\nNot all episodes were given direct definitions.\n\nEpisode 2 zaShunina explains \"Novo\" is the name of where he comes from (but he\ntranslates it to iho/Anisotropic for the Japanese to understand).\n\nEpisode 4's Rotowa is assumed to be the \"resolve\" that zaShunina needed from\nthe Japanese populous and Prime Minister.\n\nEpisode 12's Yukika title is, like Episode 1, the name of a character.\n\nI'm hoping a more definitive explanation for each Anisotropic word will be\ngiven, perhaps in an interview or official merchandise/information in the\nfuture. But for now all that can be taken from them is the suspected meanings.\n\n * Episode 0: Ninovo - From Novo\n * Episode 1: Yaha-kui zaShunina - Name of a character\n * Episode 2: Novo - the anisotropic word for the anisotropic\n * Episode 3: Wam - a device from the anisotropic\n * Episode 4: Rotowa - resolve\n * Episode 5: Nanoka - could be related to the beginning of the \"revolution\"\n * Episode 6: Tetrok - related to Kado's movement/placement/location\n * Episode 6.5: Ekwari - related to recall/recap/memory\n * Episode 7: Sansa - a device from the anisotropic\n * Episode 8: Talnel - perhaps evolution-related\n * Episode 9: Nanomis-hein - a device from the anisotropic\n * Episode 10: Towanosakiwa - Eternity's Past / Eternity's Future\n * Episode 11: Wanoraru - Wandering (in a figuratively lost sense)\n * Episode 12: Yukika - Name of a character\n\n",

A good\nexample of this is if you ever go to a comic shop and they have posters in the\nwindow that are really faded, it's the minor amounts of radiation from the sun\nmore or less bleaching those colors away.\n\nA good way to combat and prevent this is to keep them in a bookshelf and keep\nthem organized, and if there are windows in the room just don't leave the\nblinds open all day. It wont 100% prevent this issue, as @Maroon pointed out\ncertain papers will just do this overtime. However speaking from my experience\ndoing this is an easy and effective way to help prevent this.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nThere have been quite a number of series whose English titles use peculiar\nforms of **Re**. I don't mean normal usages like _Rebirth_ or _Requiem_.\nHere's some I chose from an [alphabetical listing at\nMAL](https://myanimelist.net/anime.php?letter=R&show=50):\n\n 1. Re Boot\n 2. Re-Kan\n 3. Re: Cutie Honey\n 4. Re:_Hamatora\n 5. Re:Creators\n 6. RE:Map\n 7. Re:Zero (and several spin-off series)\n 8. ReLIFE\n 9. Rewrite (although normal, seems to conceptually fit here)\n 10. Re:Monster\n 11. Tokyo Ghoul:re\n\nIt is likely that some of these are just using the prefix \"re\" as often done\nin English, to mean either \"again\" or \"concerning\". What makes these seem odd\nto me is the variety of ways they use off-kilter orthography. Is it done as a\nmarketing ploy to attract attention? Or is there some underlying Japanese\nconcept that maps particularly well to English \"Re\"?\n\nA Japanese student grows up learning three alphabets (two Japanese and the\nLatin one) plus Kanji. I wonder sometimes if this variety can lead them to\nthink flexibly in how they choose to build titles in English.\n\n",

The most impactful usage of \"Re:\" though is in _Re:Zero_.\n\n",

She is still much stronger than the regular Shiki [Tohno\n> Shiki], who holds no hope in even competing with a Servant defensively.\n>\n> However, she was later noted to be the second strongest being in the\n> Nasuverse when not including Servants, under Arcueid Brunestud and above\n> Primordial Demons.\n\nSource: [Shiki Ryougi > Abilities > Connection to the\nRoot](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Shiki_Ryougi#Connection_to_the_Root)\n\nKischur Zelretch Schweinorg and Aoko Aozaki who both wield True Magic (2nd and\n5th respectfully) have already reached The Root to gain their True Magic and\nwhile Aoko's 5th Magic's domain is uncertain, Zelretch's 2nd Magic is the\nOperation of Parallel Worlds which also [also includes time\ntravel](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Aoko#Fifth_Magic) while the 3rd Magic\nHeaven's Feel, the whole point of the Fuyuki Holy Grail Wars that the Einzbern\nseek to reclaim, is the Materialization of the soul.\n\nGiven that the subject Holy Grail in _Fate/Apocrypha_ is the Fuyuki Holy Grail\nI would assume the same functionality.\n\nKnowing how to become omnipotent however I don't think is needed because it\nwas Angra Mainyu saying it was how it would grant Kiritsugu's wish as if Angra\nMainyu was going to use the Grail for Kiritsugu.\n\nOne of the things about the Holy Grail in Fuyuki which is also mentioned by\nRin in _Fate/Stay Night_ is that only a Servant can use the Holy Grail which\nis why a Master who can contract another Servant after theirs are defeated is\nstill a participant in the War than one who can't.\n\n> At the time there was also a serious flaw in this system, As the Grail\n> required the energy of all seven Servants to help activate the Great Grail\n> and open a hole to Akasha, it would mean that all Servants including the\n> victor Servant would have to be killed, and since the Grail can only be held\n> by Servant, activating the Greater Grail, let alone retrieving the Holy\n> Grail, cannot be achieved, as Masters are incapable of doing so without a\n> Servant. This flaw made the Grail capable of only granting wishes to Masters\n> and Servants.\n\nSource: [Fuyuki Holy Grail\nWar](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Fuyuki_Holy_Grail_War)\n\nAs Angra Mainyu is formally the Avenger Servant it makes sense that Angra\nMainyu could operate the Grail in place of Saber and Kiritsugu's \"corrupted\"\nwish is just Angra Mainyu's own understanding of how it would make such a wish\nbelieving that Kiritsugu's current methods aren't inefficient but the correct\nway.\n\nTokiomi and more than likely any other Master planning to use the Grail to\nreach the Root would plan to have keep one Command Spell so make the Servant\ncommit suicide. For wish granting a Master would probably keep a Command Spell\nto force the Servant to grant their wish rather than the Servant's wish unless\nthere was an understanding for the Servant's wish to be granted in another way\n(ie. Diarmuid Ua Duibhne's wish to have a Lord to serve was granted by meanly\nbeing summoned).\n\n* * *\n\nIn _Fate/Extra_ the Holy Grail is the Moon Cell and the right to use it\n\n> In the Fate/Extra universe, the Moon Cell (ムーンセル, Mūn Seru?), also called\n> the Holy Grail, Eye of God, and Divine Automatic Recording Device, is a\n> massive collection of photonic crystals within the moon that comprises a\n> giant supercomputer of sorts.\n>\n> ...\n>\n> It is a processor with a massive memory that has recorded the habits,\n> history, ideas, and even the souls of humanity. As it can also affect the\n> outside world with its calculations, it has the power to \"grant wishes.\" In\n> this way, it can be thought of as a Pandora’s Box that promises the next\n> stage of evolution. It promises god-like power to those intelligent\n> lifeforms who have become technologically advanced enough to scan the\n> interior of the moon.\n\nSource: [Moon - Moon Cell](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Moon_Cell#Moon_Cell)\n\nSo while it's not exactly like the Fuyuki Grail or what Void claims to be able\nto do you can still alter the world but it'll just take a bit of time, an\nexample cited in [Fate/EXTRA material - Encyclopedia: Holy Grail\n[Circumstances], page\n194](http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Holy_Grail#cite_note-10)\n\n> You might say “I want all the girlies in the world to be mah little sister\"\n> for example, and then in about ten years, it would be assumed that society\n> on Earth would be reorganized in that fashion.\n\nOf course not sure this is really being omnipoten\n\nHowever like the Fuyuki Holy Grail there is something in the way and that's\n[Twice H.

"body": "\n\nAs mentioned above, there are several movies in the GITS franchise, and being\nmore specific would be helpful.\n\n> **Have the Ghost In The Shell animated movies made any profit?**\n\nNot according to box office sales for those movies released in theaters.\n\n> **\"How can a series so good and influential flop financially?\"**\n\nYou are trying to correlate how a movie is received by critics and/or fans\nwith how well it does at the box office. But, unfortunately, there are many\nfactors that affect how well a movie does at the box office; positive reviews\ndon't guarantee financial success. Just to recap, I put the budget and gross\nfor the above mentioned movies based on IMDB, Box Office Mojo, and Wikipedia\nfor regional releases.\n\n**Ghost in the Shell (1995)**\n\n * Budgeted: approx 5.4 million USD\n * Domestic Gross: $515,905\n * Foreign (Japan, UK only): $2.3 million USD\n\n**Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004)**\n\n * Budgeted: approx 18 million USD\n\n * Domestic Gross: $1,043,896\n\n * Foreign Gross: $8,745,755\n\n * Worldwide: $9,789,651\n\n> **Do the box office figures include income from Japan?**\n\nIn some cases, a movie may be released in different countries during different\ntimes. You may be strictly looking at a specific regional release. Your\nabsolute best bet to look at Box Office - Worldwide, where both domestic and\nforeign gross totals are included. This will give you a better idea of how\nwell the movie financially performed.\n\n> **Do the box office figures include DVD sales?**\n\nNo. The box office gross is basically the total of all the ticket sales for\nthat movie.\n\n> **Or something else? Surely they wouldn't keep financing something\n> unprofitable.**\n\nThe GITS franchise does exist outside of box office movies. When you consider\nother sources of revenue such as the manga, direct-to-dvd or blu-ray sales,\nmerchandise sales, international licensing fees, etc. you'll start to see the\nbigger financial picture. It is not uncommon for manga publishers to use anime\nto increase revenue for their source material which is almost always the\nmanga. In fact, if an anime release doesn't perform well, but it boosts manga\nsales, it's not considered a loss at all. It's the cost of doing business. How\nthe anime industry produces profit is very fascinating because sometimes the\ngoal of anime isn't to produce a profit, it's to maintain viewership, or\npromote source (or branded) material, and sales of merchandise.\n\n",

It's usually categorized into 6\nsections, by ages and gender: 少年 (boys), 少女 (girls), 青年 (youngs), レディース\n(ladies), 女性 (female), 男性 (male).\n\nBoys and girls are \"officially\" targeted for elementary school students.\nYoungs and ladies are for the teen.\n\nFor boys or girls category, like _Jump_ , \"magazine\" or _Sunday_ , they always\nuse furigana. Publisher enforces it and doesn't allow furigana in furigana\n(example: using kanji 二律背反 as furigana to ジレンマ (dilemma), because the kanji\nalso needs furigana). In your example, _Air Gear_ and _Attack on Titan_ came\nfrom \"magazine\", they always have furigana.\n\nFor Youngs category, they use furigana for difficult kanji only or the first\ntime it's used. _Kaiji_ is published in Young Magazine and _Mushishi_ is\npublished in Afternoon and both are ok to not include furigana.\n\n",

Also, if you put the lyrics into auto-translator sites,\nyou might get Italian. So many ways to find that out for yourself :p\n\nUpdate: ok maybe not completely 100% Italian. It is known that some of Yoko\nKanno's tracks contain other languages, such as broken English, Russian and\nthe made-up [Gablish](https://musicfans.stackexchange.com/questions/337/are-\nthe-lyrics-of-yoko-kannos-moon-gibberish-or-intelligible).\n\nExcept in case of untranslatable Gablish, there are some translations found on\nthe internet for the lyrics of this song. My theory is that it's because it is\nin fact at least in part a real language.\n\nSo after finding the disc paper scans, I've found that this track definitely\nhas words (duh) unlike some tracks which don't, and have no corresponding\ndescription on the track list page:\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/pZh4F.jpg)\n\nlisted tracks with words contain:\n\n * 1. player\n * 2. replica\n * 7. she is\n * 8. from the rooftop somewhere in the silence\n * 12. date of rebirth\n * 13. take a little hand\n\n…but \"Replica\" and \"She is\" don't have the lyrics printed on that CD's paper,\napparently. For whatever reason!\n\n[This site says](http://fangirlisms.com/2010/04/yoko-kanno-does-not-make-up-\nlanguages/) that one of the other songs by Ilaria Graziano is a mix of Italian\nand English − \"I Do\" from the 2nd GIG album. So this is probably the same deal\nhere.\n\nI have found this translation on several sites without any source, so take it\nas is:\n\n[code]\n\n Stalling quiet down my silence\n searching that weve done?\n Stalling quiet down my silence\n searching that weve done...\n Stalling quiet down my silence\n Searching for calm...\n \n Found my own destiny out there\n Cant you be calm?\n Love is broken knitted\n thought a love remade\n Cheating, stole it, I dont know\n Buried, the comatose flower so are growing there\n Buried it there my good son\n So much to shine over\n Like a show that never star\n A shamed one will change\n Fool got you the nothing\n A shamed one will change\n Fool got you the nothing\n Stalling quiet down my silence\n searching that weve done...\n I just done all my life...\n all my life\n all my life\n all my life\n You should know\n You should know\n I should know\n Should know\n My Self...

"body": "\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/PPsw9.jpg)Standard\nspoiler warnings here. This information covers Episode 8 of Season 2 of Attack\non Titan.\n\n> Towards the end of Episode 8 in Season 2 of Attack on Titan, we do see\n> Commander Erwin travel across the wall. Shortly after, you see that they\n> have a rather simple lift system to transport them from the ground to the\n> top of the wall and vice versa. From the series of shots that feature the\n> lift system, only 1-2 horses can ride the lift at a time. But they do appear\n> to have more than one lift as three separate lifts can be seen from one\n> particular shot in the episode. That being said, the lift system looked\n> incredibly inefficient and slow.\n\nAlso, more spoilers below from the anime and manga, but the formatting\nprevented me from listing and hiding the content so please read at your own\nrisk.\n\nSo, using the information from Episode 8, and from other places within the\nanime and manga, let's do a recap of the relevant information:\n\n * **The walls are circular and never connect to each other in any way, shape, or form.** Using the photo attached for visual comparison, you can see that none of the walls connect to each other. Ground transportation usually occurs at doors, or entrances, found at certain points along each wall. If you were to look at this mathematically, consider Wall Maria our very own geometric circle that has two circles inside of it (Wall Rose, Wall Sina). And, being a circle that encloses two other circles, we can agree that the center of Wall Maria will also be the center of Wall Rose and Sina. Therefore, the fastest way to travel within Wall Maria, Wall Rose, and Wall Sina, will be along the radius of the circle (through the entrances of the walls, in this case) and not the circumference (along the wall). I think we can agree there would be some exceptions to this, but for the most part, you would want to travel through the radius of the circle, usually in the direction of a wall entrance, as that would be the fastest way to your destination. \n * **The current lift system, or what little of it that we saw, is incredibly slow and inefficient.** The lift system could transfer only 1-2 horses at a time. Because of the inefficiency, the time taken to transport horses via lift would lead to time added to your journey. You would need independent operators, aside from anyone in the squad, to operate the lifts when you want to get to the top or bottom. You would need lifts on either side of the wall, and to make this most convenient you would need them in several locations along the wall. Since you need operators for the lift, the lifts would have to be located near populated areas, and the distance from a lift to very rural area along the wall may limit your operators which may limit your lifts. \n\nI know it seems safer to travel the walls to get to places, but in most cases\nour heroes are rushing to a location for damage control, and it seems most\nlogical to take the fastest - not the safest - route in these situations.\n\nIf it were me though, I'd travel the wall.\n\n_A picture of the lift system implemented by the Survey Corps (Vol. 13,\nChapter 51, 8):_ \n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/SlDzp.png)\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI don't think there will be any satisfactory answer here. This answer itself\nis almost better suited as a comment, but there is too much to cover in a\ncomment or two.\n\nMost importantly, this is probably not an anime related thing. The intent is\nthere, but looking at the results, I can only find a non anime related answer.\nTo address this, the most important thing to note is that there is most likely\nno \"Dere\" personality that can fit what you are talking about. At least, it's\nnot mainstream, and generally would make no sense for one to exist at all.\n\nDere personalities are, first and foremost, personalities (and usually refer\nto how they express love). One decent reference,\n[here](https://disqus.com/home/discussion/channel-\nanimenow/which_dere_type_you_dont_mind_to_have_date_in_real_life/), lists most\nif not all of the main ones, none of which match what you are looking for.\nIt's all about their personality, how they express themselves. A Sociopath\npretending to be good natured is not expressing them self, they are pretending\nto be something they are not. You can argue that Tsundere's are the same, they\nfake their tough act, but the only thing they have in common with our\nSociopath is the part about them faking. There are terms for that kind of\nfaking, and that is probably the best answer you can get here.\n\nWhat the Tsundere does, and what our Sociopath is also doing, is something\nthat can be called a Facade (There are probably other applicable\nwords/phrases, but I will use this one). They are faking their personality,\nputting on a Facade to the world, hiding the truth. They are pretending to be\nsomething they are not, for their own reasons. The main difference, is that\nthe Tsundere hiding their personality, is their personality. The sociopath and\npsychopath hide their true feelings for other reasons, usually keep secrets a\nsecret, or to net some kind of gain from others.\n\n",

"body": "\n\n**_Possible spoiler alert (depending on how accurate some of the\ninterpretrations in the anthology were)!_**\n\nSo, late last year, Kodansha Comics released the Attack on Titan Anthology. If\nyou're unfamiliar with it, the creators of Attack on Titan and some famous\nwestern artists basically got together and created this mash-up anthology with\nall of their interpretations of the AoT universe. Some of the pieces in the\nanthology were just straight up cross-over style pieces like the ones created\nby Evan Dorkin, featuring references to characters in other universes and\nsuch. But, for a lot of the pieces in the anthology, the material was actually\nextremely relevant to the series and revealed some interesting things. For\nthose of you that have not started in on the Anthology yet, there's a spoiler\nfor it below.\n\n> On page 7 of Volume 1 of the Attack on Titan Anthology, a Q&A section\n> reveals that one of the main subject pieces for Michael Oeming was a titan\n> featuring transparent skin. Moving to page 8 of the same volume, you will\n> find the see-through titan. As you might imagine from the story, it did have\n> a digestive system but it was poorly developed and had absolutely no exit.\n> The entrance and exit to the digestive system were the same place: the\n> mouth. What would be of interest to you here is that when this titan was\n> drawn, it featured only a poorly developed digestive system, no heart, no\n> lungs, and no other major organs. We know that at least the digestive system\n> was drawn to reflect knowledge found in both anime and manga, and it would\n> not be a far leap to say that this is an accurate rendering of all organs\n> within the titan's body, not just the digestive tract. Since the titan has\n> no lungs in the picture, the titan likely does not need to breathe to\n> survive.\n\nBut it's not enough to make assumptions, and on page 8 Michael Oeming states:\n\n> There is a lot of nuance to the story. The history is rich and deep, both\n> with the characters and the actual history of the Survey Corps, the\n> geography, and even the different Walls. So writing a fresh story that\n> hopefully expands the world when it is already so tightly written was a\n> challenge. Luckily, my editors were a big help with the history and\n> specifics.\n\nSo, from his answer in the Q&A session, this rendering of the see-through\ntitan wasn't just a re-interpretation or a cross-ever, it was a segment that\nexpanded on the current AoT universe using existing knowledge of the universe.\n\nAnd, from episode 25 of Attack on Titan we see that, as mentioned above:\n\n> There are titans literally hanging out inside the sealed walls. So, it makes\n> perfect sense that they didn't suffocate inside the walls. They have no need\n> to breathe since they have no lungs with which to breathe!\n\nThis means that it is highly likely that the see-through titan is an accurate\nrepresentation of what the titan's organs would look like if the skin were\ntransparent. That is to say, titans likely have no lungs and therefore can not\nbreathe or suffocate.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/l3CYe.jpg)\n\n",

"body": "\n\nI'm not gonna go into much details here, for that you can read countless\narticles on professional outlet sites. In short, everything is very different\nand heavily modified to make this new movie self-sufficient and everything\nexplainable to a viewer unwilling to draw their own conclusions.\n\nHere's some of the differences I noticed:\n\n * Major never had any \"memory glitches\" in the original movie;\n * Major was never Mira Killian. This whole memory-manipulation thing is an entirely new twist;\n * Major's mother was never an important character in the whole GITS franchise, and especially not in the 1995 movie. I don't think she was ever shown, but maybe mentioned once or twice in the tv series;\n * Major had a defective body since conception and had her brain transformed into a cyberbrain before she was born. This isn't explained in the 1995 movie iirc, but it's explained in the tv series. So there was no accident where her adult body was damaged, like it is explained in the new movie;\n * Major wasn't a rebellious teen who'd write angsty graffiti in the slums. Watch the Arise series to find out her canonical origin story;\n * Major's demeanor is originally very calm, rational and witty. The new movie portrays her as immature, unsure, rash and unwise;\n * Batou's eyes got replaced by electronics much earlier, while he was part of the ranger unit, unlike it is portrayed in the new movie. The rationale for that and his attitude towards this decision was much different;\n * Kuze character from the new movie is a mix of the Kuze GITS SAC: 2nd Gig series and Puppetmaster character from the movie, and this new Kuze's deal is not political in nature, but rather self-searching like Puppetmaster's.\n * There was no prior relationship between Major and this new Kuze/Puppetmaster in the original;\n * Hanka robotics doesn't exist in the original movie; It was Megatech that made Major's body;\n * There was no main villain character like the CEO of Hanka, Cutter. In the original universe, it's the faceless corporations and countries which cause trouble and global unrest;\n\nMost importantly, the new movie doesn't have the slow pacing of the original\nand explicitly explains every detail without letting the viewer soak in the\ninformation, have a moment to themselves to process and ponder about the\npotential problems that could arise in a world where computers and people are\nessentially indistinguishable and have equal rights. There are no open-ended\nquestions or implications thrown at the viewers to consider during the silent\ncityscape exposition scenes. Basically, food for thought was minimized in\nfavor of action spectacle and the primitive \"Who am I?\" sort of existential\nquestions.\n\n* * *\n\nSee [this Nerdwriter video](https://youtu.be/v2soHxEN79c) for additional\ndissection of differences.\n\n",

"body": "\n\nYou yourself mentioned the main reason. **IF** brought under control, his\nquirk is exceptional. However, we as readers get the extra information that\nthe characters of the manga don't have.\n\n> He inherits the quirk from All Might.\n\nThus, Midoriya may be capable of big things, **but the other pro heroes will\nconsider him a liability in practice, because an injured person removes 2\npersons from a fight.**\n\nAlso note, though he achieved good results, he didn't do anything impressive\nshowcasing his hero talent.\n\n * **Obstacle Course Race**. He won the first round because Bakugou and Todoroki were fighting against each other. 1B wasn't interested in the first place. He didn't use his ability at all! This is mentioned specifically in Manga. [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/tKviH.png)\n\n * **Cavalry Battle**. They barely scrape through. Though Midoriya planned well again, from the outside, the MVP for the team was Tokoyami, who defended well and was able to scrape through the qualification in the end.\n\n * **PvP Tournament. 1st Round**. Even after knowing his opponent's weakness, he gave himself away. He lucked out in the end, when Previous One for All users triggered him from the hypnosis. He won since his opponent was weaker when they both didn't use quirks.\n\n * **PvP Tournament. 2nd Round**. Lost to Todoroki. He got his ass kicked tbh. He showcased his will power and helped Todokori assess his powers, but he was literally helpless. From the outside, it showed other Pro Heroes his vulnerabilities rather than his strengths!\n\nNow, it's different. He has formed his own style of battling and is interning\nwith AllMight's former sidekick in the current arc! So look forward to\nAnime/Manga. Cheers\n\n",

"body": "\n\nUsing that format, he would be Major Mike Zacharius. And, you could use those\nranks if you really wanted to, but they are not a correct translation of the\nactual ranking structure within the Survey Corps.\n\nIn the Survey Corps, you'll find Commander Erwin Smith oversaw four squads and\neach squad has a Squad Leader (you can think of this as Squad Commander), a\nsenior team leader, several team leaders, and so on. You can find the basic\nchain of command within each squad\n[here](http://attackontitan.wikia.com/wiki/Survey_Corps).\n\nWe know the four Squad Leaders (Section/Squad Commanders), are:\n\n * Levi Ackerman, Captain of the Survey Corps, Special Operations Squad Leader (Vol 6, Chapter 23, 4)\n * Mike Zacharius, Squad Leader of the Survey Corps (Vol 5, Chapter 19, 32)\n * Zoe Hange, Squad Leader of the Survey Corps (Vol 5, Chapter 19, 31)\n * Dita Ness, Squad Leader of the Survey Corps (Vol 5, Chapter 22, 174)\n\nNow, the way the Survey Corps is laid out, the Squad Leaders are all of\nequivalent rank. That is to say, Levi Ackerman, Mike Zacharius, Zoe Hange, and\nDita Ness are all technically second-in-command because neither is higher in\nrank than the other. I believe this equal-in-rank structure was implemented\nbecause each squad is technically its own division. Proof that Levi was not\nnext in line is evident in Chapter 57 of the manga when:\n\n> Zoe is chosen by Commander Erwin as his replacement upon death.\n\nBut, there are some inconsistencies. The manga and the subbed version of the\nanime both agree that Mike's official title is Squad Leader but in the dub he\nhas been referred to as Major Mike Zacharius. I think this is where things got\nlost in translation, because there are no appropriate modern-day equivalents\nfor Squad Leader or Section Commander and so that's what we ended up with.\n\nIf you wanted to use a more modern-day ranking structure and still maintain\nthe same titles from the dub, you could use the following structure wherein\nthe **Corporal, although by definition is higher than Major, _is actually\nequivalent in rank to Major._** Then, and only then, would you have a somewhat\naccurate representation using a current military ranking structure (although,\nnot sure where you're from, but Commander and Corporal don't actually co-exist\nin the same military branch).\n\n * Commander: Erwin Smith\n * Corporal/Major (again, being of equal rank): Levi Ackerman, Zoe Hange, Dita Ness, Mike Zacharius\n\nBut, in case you decide to go with the ranking system in the manga, it goes\nsomething more like this:\n\n 1. Commander: Erwin Smith\n 2. Squad Leaders: Captain Levi Ackerman, Mike Zacharius, Zoe Hange, Dita Ness\n 3. Senior Team Leaders\n 4. Team Leaders\n 5. Soldiers, Military Personnel\n\nSuper basic diagram attached in case my description was confusing.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/eFz7y.jpg)\n\n",

None of these have anything to do at all with\nthe main story.\n[MyAnimeList](https://myanimelist.net/manga/44929/Kuzu_no_Honkai/moreinfo)\ngives the titles as being _Nyan Nyan $foo_ , $foo being a musical form, which\nroughly matches my memory, so it seems likely the drama CD tracks are related\nto the extras.\n\nIn particular, your description of the drama CD track matches the story in the\n\"Nyan Nyan Prelude\" extra, which is after ch. 5 in vol. 1. In the manga extra,\nthere is a human named Shu and a cat (or cat-person, I am unsure) named Chako.\nThey have a physical relationship, but later, tensions between the two emerge.\nAs in the drama CD, Chako speaks of getting a job, but Shu says she cannot\nsince she is a cat, and Shu forgets Chako's birthday. Later, Shu apologises,\nbut Chako is already convinced that:\n\n> Because Shu-chan is so forgetful, he's already forgotten about me.\n\n",

This is a lie: Magane does not have the intrinsic ability to summon\nCthulhuian monstrosities. Magane asks the shopkeeper whether he thinks that\nit's a lie; the shopkeeper replies that it obviously is a lie. Since the\nshopkeeper disbelieved her lie, her lie becomes truth, and so Hounds of\nTindalos magically appear to devour the shopkeeper.\n\n# Episode 6, second time\n\nMagane tells Aliceteria that her lance will end up piercing herself instead of\nMagane. This is a lie: Magane presumably does not have the ability to redirect\nweaponry. Aliceteria describes this statement as \"nonsense\". Since Aliceteria\ndisbelieved her lie, her lie becomes truth. Had Selesia's arrival not\nprevented Aliceteria from making contact, she likely would've been magically\nrun through by her own lance, given that Magane said her \"a lie about a\nlie\"line.\n\n(It's unclear to me whether Magane actually needs to utter the \"a lie about a\nlie\" line for her ability to trigger or not. It might be just for show.)\n\n# Episode 9\n\nMagane tells Mirokuji that his attacks are \"nothing\" to her. This is a lie: if\nMirokuji were to land a hit on her, she would likely be in bad shape. Mirokuji\ncalls her on her bluff (\"I've never met anyone who was fine after getting hit\nwith this\"). Since Mirokuji disbelieved her lie, her lie becomes truth, and so\nMagane is now magically immune to Mirokuji's attacks, or at least his attacks\nwith \"this\" (i.e. his sword).\n\n",

I tried looking at some\nother Klimt paintings to look for a similar image, but I couldn't find\nanything overly convincing, perhaps partly because I don't have a strong\nvisual arts background.\n\n",
