Why does connecting an automail hurt? We could see plenty of times in both Fullmetal Alchemist anime series (at least twice in the 2003 series and at least once in the 2009 series, according to my memories) that connecting the automails seriously hurts for Ed. What's the reason? My theory is that during connecting, it...

Why does the use of Haki turn part of your body black? Before the time skip, characters like Garp and the Priest of Sky Island, used Haki to deal damage to Luffy via a blunt attack, which would have been impossible otherwise.

How did Naruto land the finishing Rasengan on Pain? I watched Naruto's fight with Pain the other day, and I don't quite understand how Naruto managed to land a Rasengan on the Deva Path in that sequence of attacks which started with 2 Rasenshurikens.

He then created two shadow clones and then a Rasenshuriken using these clones.
What does Kirito say at the end of SAO? At the end of Sword Art Online (episode 25, ~21:40), Kirito says something in the presence of Leafa, Yui, and Asuna. Despite being shown his lips moving, there is no sound and so the only hint is how his lips move. Since my knowledge of Japanese is far from extensive, I don...

How does Mustang fight in the end of Fullmetal Alchemist with injured hands? Somewhat trivial, but here goes: in Fullmetal Alchemist, we see Mustang's hands get pinned down by Bradley's swords when Wrath and Pride are trying to force him to do human transmutation and open the gate. Given this, how does he manage to par...	There are just too many bones, ligaments and tendons in the hand (not to mention the tremendous amount of pain an injury like that would incur) to be able to do that.
Why does Tobi have a Sharingan with Kamui ability after having used Izanagi? As per my understanding, Izanagi permanently blinds the Sharingan's vision once used.

Who is the father of Minato Namikaze? Does Namikaze mean a clan or is it just his second name? I think the only way Naruto could defeat Madara Uchiha is to be in a blood-line relation with the Sage of the Six Paths , and thereby achieving a Rinnegan of his own. Since Kushina , Mother of Naruto is from Uzuma...	"Namikaze" could be a clan Related to your question, we don't know anything about Minato's parents.
