Danzo did act in order to dispose of the Third and have control over the Hidden Leaf, but Hiruzen always believed that all he's doing was for the best of the village, so he let it slide.

Why was Yui's Heart the only SAO item to work in Alfheim Online? When Kirito enters Alfheim Online and notices his stats are from SAO, he quickly scrolls through the list of bugged items looking for Yui's Heart. He found it but it was renamed to something else, and when he used it, Yui appeared. Yui's Heart was a very...	Since ALO is based of SAO as a base, it's more then likely it recognizes Yui as a valid program type like a program recognizes if it can open valid file types.
What happened to Yui's Heart when Kirito wiped out his Inventory? Yui told Kirito that it would be a good idea for him to clear out his inventory as all the items were bugged and he could be detected by the system if they remained.

Are 3DCG-based animes cheaper to produce? I've been noticing that CG in anime has becoming more popular. Recently, I've watched several shows that have almost fully 3D animation. Arpeggio of Blue Steel and Knights of Sidonia : I've also noticed it appearing to smaller effect in parts of other shows, such as Girls...	The advantage to using 3d in an entire series is that you can reuse models to remain consistency, and also you can make the animation look more impressive using particle effects, shadows and lighting in a way you can do with 2d.

In Naruto Shippuden, why did Sasuke became evil? I understand that Sasuke learns Itachi was motivated by his desire to protect the village. Itachi only slaughtered his clan because they were plotting a rebellion. And thus Sasuke's motivation for killing Itachi was slightly misguided. Since Tobi told him about Itachi, w...

Don't forget that when it comes to family, very strong feelings can easily be affecting Sasuke.

Is Magi based on religion? I started reading the manga Magi recently and can't help but get the feeling that it is based on Islam.

How do I watch Kara no Kyoukai? I've seen the hour and a half movie called Kara no Kyoukai: Mirai Fukuin and the story seemed very incomplete. Later I discovered that it was a compilation of longer episodes of a series. I'm not sure how I can fix my experience and in what order to watch the other animes with this title...

When did that really happen? Did they help her b...	This tells me that it either occurred after the Hueco Mundo arc, or it happened parallel with it and was not canon.

Why does Sasuke have only one Rinnegan? In the latest chapters of the Naruto manga (673 and 674), why does Sasuke possess only one Rinnegan and not both? <Q> For starters: Sasuke's Rinnegan is not the same as Kaguya's/Madara's Rinne Sharingan (not to be confused with Madara's Rinnegan, I'm talking about the one in th...	Maybe the other eye is only for Sharingan, or he can't have two Rinnegans because it might replace his Sharingan permanently.

How did C.C get her scar? In Code Geass, when we see C.C mainly topless we see that she has a scar on her left breast. The first time we see this is when Lelouch tried to get C.C to move away from the Lancelot when she's feeding Suzaku shock images to destabilize him. when Lelouch touches her he sees her memories an...

Can Dragonslayers eat their own magic? Early in the anime, Lucy asked Natsu if he could eat his own fire. Natsu explained that it would be like Lucy eating one of her Celestial Spirits.

If they were to eat their own magic, it will give them a boost but it would only return them to the level of energy they had before they produced that bit of magic.
Are gym masters easy to beat? Gym masters are dedicated to train their Pokemon and and are very familiar with their environment.

What does the symbol on Edward's coat mean? In FMA, the back of Edward's coat shows this symbol: I can't figure out what it would be a reference to in-universe, because the symbology seems Judeo-Christian (a cross and what looks like it could be a serpent), and the show doesn't really have any Christian symbology in ...

What was the deal with Haruhi's Endless Eight? In Haruhi second season, there was 8 episodes that have been the same. The series of "Endless Eight" episodes are literally doing the same things over and over again. But it's not really the same thing, they re-animating and re-dubbing whole episode, they didn't being lazy...	As senshin already pointed out in his comment, the reason why they choose to make this story arc span accross eight epsiodes is probably because 8 looks like the sign for infinity: The characters seem to do "the same things over and over again" because they are trapped in what TV-Tropes call a "Groundhog Day" loop .
Who is the main character of Fairy Tail? Who is the main character of Fairy Tail? Would it be Natsu or Lucy? Natsu is like the hero of the whole anime, but I think the main story revolves around Lucy, how she met Natsu and how she joined Fairy Tail etc. I read the description of Fairy Tail and it says: Lucy is a 16-y...	In that sense both Natsu and Lucy would be the main protagonists. So I say that there is no main character, but a bunch of main characters altogether.

Why doesn't Infinite Tsukuyomi work on Tobirama Senju? Manga Spoiler Alert In the latest manga chapter (677), Madara successfully initiated the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Did Light truly love anyone? In Death Note, I am not aware of whether Light actually truly loved or cared about anyone although at the beginning of the series you could say he loved his parents perhaps. But it seems that he was at least shown to be as an intellectual person who just so happened to be bored or well tire...	Light did not truly love anyone other than himself. We can see that he didn't really love Misa though as he never actually expresses any feelings for her at all. He is corrupted by the power of the Death Note, and becomes a figurative monster. As to the sociopath suggestion, it is generally thought that sociopaths are ...
What did Madara mean by "showing our guts"? In the latest episode (filler, obviously...) of Naruto Shippuden, episode 368 the expression "to show your guts" was flying all over the place.

Is "Payday" Money, real money? In the Pokémon games, when Payday is used, you can gain a small amount of money.

Why doesn't Marika wear same uniform as the others? Despite being a transfer student, Marika should have been given a uniform. But why didn't they give her one?

Do Rave Master and Fairy Tail share the same world? There's a crossover work for Fairy Tail and Rave Master called Fairy Tail X Rave.

What Japanese animation was the first to be an international success?

With hundreds of anime that became quite popular even outside of Japan, including off course the big shots such as O...	The oldest anime I remember is Calimero.

In yaoi anime, why does the uke always say 'senpai'? I wasn't exactly sure how to phrase the title but in yaoi animes, why does the uke refer to their love I guess as senpai? For example, wouldn't it make more sense to say 'I love you Takano' rather than 'I love you senpai'? Is this a Japanese language thing or is it...

It differs with every relationship.
How could Kakashi use Susanoo? There are two reasons I have this query (spoiler alert!): Firstly, Obito didn't have Susanoo. Considering you need to awaken both Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu, while Obito never used even one of them, how was Kakashi able to use Obito's eyes to produce Susanoo? If he copied Susanoo, then ho...

Why didn't Light kill Mello? In Episode 29, the NPA tries to capture/kill Mello. Soichiro Yagami gets the Shinigami Eyes and tells Light that Mello's real name is Mihael Keehl. So, Mello escapes because Soichiro Yagami couldn't kill him. But didn't Light know Mello's face? It's mentioned that no matter how exact the d...	Since Light knew his name and saw his face, he could've killed Mello at any given time. Another explanation can be that Soichiro didn't want his action of killing a criminal through the Death Note recorded in his helmet's camera.
Why does every major bad guy end up being a good guy later? It feels like the common thread is "I'm a major bad guy in Naruto, I lose/die, then I have a change of heart and want to help Naruto once bigger baddy shows up". When does a bad guy remain a bad guy? (e.g. - Zabuza, Gaara, Itachi, Nagato, Orochimaru, Kabuto, S...	The jist of the phenomenon is that heroes usually become such when they die (posthumously), while the same disregard for the norm will eventually lead someone against normalcy, thus becoming a villain. Maybe because there actually isn't any "bad guy" in this world from the start. Somebody becomes bad because of certain...
Can the Titans swim? I have only seen the anime and haven't read the manga, but a question came to me: Can the titans swim? We know that they are abnormally light and strong for their size. However, the fact that they evaporate after dying kind of suggests that they are formed of some sort of compact water vapor, so ...	Seeing as much of mankind lives on islands (such as the Japanese), it's safe to assume that Titans are able to cross water somehow.
What does the Death Note consider as "original lifespan"? I was reading this question and it got me thinking about what a person's "original lifespan" really was.

The original lifespan is the time you are supposed to have alive at the moment of birth, unless someone, Shinigami or human, use their Death Note on you, or you make a deal with a Shinigami shortening your lifespan, or a Shinigami sacrifices themself to allow you to live incrementing your lifespan.
Why is Homura still alive after shooting herself? A third of the way through the Rebellion film. Homura appears to shoot herself in the head after being unable to persuade Mami about what's going on. After the event, it seems that we see the exiting bullet, and we also see blood around the left side of Homura's face. ...	She point the gun on her head not to kill her self, but to distract Mami.

Why did they need to use an identikit to reproduce Makishima's face? I've been watching Psycho-Pass. Makishima has been working as an art professor at a women academy.

Could a person do the shinigami deal without losing half his lifespan? Quick question, if you trade half of your life for shinigami eyes and it happens to save your life, would you lose only half of the time you would have lived, or would you somehow lose half of the life that you would actually live since the eyes sav...

Why doesn't Conan reveal his identity at least to Ran in Detective Conan (Case Closed)? Why doesn't Shinichi Kudo tell about his problem to Ran in Detective Conan, when he completely understands how much the girl loves him and suffers from pain due to him? While the truth is many times she was almost certain that Conan...	According to me only foolish people will support this it doesn't matter if shinichi tells her or not, her life will be danger because the organisation will kill her too upon knowing Conan's identity no matter if she is innocent. Shinichi Kudo was caught by the Black Organization when he was doing some investigation, an...
Change of protagonist or late entry of protagonist In all the manga that I have read and anime I have watched, the protagonist always appears in the first chapter of manga or first episode of an anime. Most of the time without reading the plot we can tell who is the protagonist after watching only a few episodes. So...	Some examples of this may include Gurren Lagann , Yuru-Yuri , and Bokurano
Why are not all Exceeds able to transform into an anthropoid (humanlike) form? There are several exceeds known, and as far as I can remember, only Pantherlily and Samuel are shown to turn into human form.
