Can Logia users be hurt by intangible attacks? After reading chapter 757 I wondered the following: Rayleigh explained that objects like your body or other weapons could be imbued with Haki, but what about waves, beams or slashes? After reading the fight between Sabo and admiral Fujitori, it made me wonder if admiral...	Yes, the Logia user can be hurt by intangible attack. Logia users have two ways of evading attacks in general, they can become their element, such as when Crocodlie is hit by bullets and simply becomes sand where the bullets hit and then reforms, or by changing their shape they can avoid the attack, such as when Aokiji...
Is Yun male or female? In Only Sense Online, the main character is male, but in game people keep mistaking him for being female. Did the game actually turn him into a female character, or did he just get his features made more feminine? This was the explanation from the LN, but it doesn't actually state whether or n...	The game changed him into a female character because he didn't modify his body when setting it up.
What is this anime song? (Cross post from /r/AnimeOST , where I didn't get any answer) I have a song in mind recently, I'm pretty sure it comes from a well known anime that is less than 10 years old, but I can't remember which one.

Can Kakashi use the jutsu he copied without the Sharingan? I'm not talking about Sharingan specific moves like Amaterasu, but the ones he had copied with the Sharingan like Water Dragon Jutsu.

How would Annie's going underground prove anything? I'm wondering how Annie's going underground (in episode 23) would prove she wasn't the Female Titan? Also, was her reason for not going there only because she knew it was a trap, or did she have another reason as well? It feels like I have missed something.. <Q> The p...

What anime is this guy from? He has brown hair and is wearing a school uniform i tried different sites, so now I'm here. If anyone could help that would be great.

In the middle of the fight, Yui tells Leafa to use all her magic to heal Kirito from the damage of the incoming barrage of Fire Spells, while ...

Is no one looking for Kaneki? In Tokyo Ghoul , during episode 1, Kaneki turns into a half-ghoul, and he is forced to abandon his old life, sans his good buddy Hide, though they do spend less time together.

He grew up as a very lonely kid only having Hide as one of his closest and only friend. As a result, anyone that would care for him is dead, so they can't go looking for him, and his aunt doesn't care about him, so she would not look for him. The coincidence between the disappearance of Kaneki and the appearance of Eye...
Why did Kaneki's hair change color? At the start of the series, Kaneki's hair is dark brown, except in the OP, where it we see an image of him with white hair. In episode 11, we see a final scene of Kaneki, his hair having turned white. This turns out to be a preview of things to come, his hair being brown at the start...	His change in hair color is probably due to Marie Antoinette syndrome, a rare condition that causes the hair to suddenly become white in response to some great stress or shock. Another possible reason is to depict the change in him as a person (not just the physical appearance).
Why is Kaneki's fighting ability improved when he put on his mask? In volume 8 chapter 72, Nishio mentions to Kaneki that his abilities will improve if Kaneki puts on his mask. As far as I know it's just a mask (with no special power or anything). So why does it increase his fighting ability? <Q> The mask covered Kane...

What specific event was the forking point between the two storylines? In Rebuild of Evangelion, the first movie is almost an exact retelling of the original anime series. But soon it begins to deviate more and more (and more /sad ...), until I really wasn't sure of what I was watching anymore (but I digress). So, let...	"Adam's Embryo", Rebuild = " The appearance and identification of the Angel Lilith at the end of the first movie and just before the commencement of Operation Yashima (Corresponding to Episode 06 of the TV series), unlike the veil of secrecy kept in the original series where Lilith was never seen until Episode 15 and w...
What Mangekyo Sharingan power does Itachi have? Kakashi and Obito, have Mangekyo Sharingan powers but what power does Itachi have?

Why did Vegeta never reach Super Saiyajin 3? Further details: Gohan also did not reach it. Goku was able to do it for a short time once, and later a long time. Gotenks did it but for a short time. <Q> There are actually a lot of ideas about that, and one is that Goku spent a long time training in the heavens, where...

There's no mention of a hard requirement, but generally excellent shinobi are chosen.
Why do they call their Sensei by his given name? I read that in Japanese culture a person's given name is used very rarely except for children, so I guess that's why for example Naruto refers to Sakura Haruno as Sakura. But why do they call Kakashi Hatake "Kakashi Sensei" and not "Hatake Sensei"? This also applies for ...	Naruto has nickname for most of his friends, sensei and elders, like Rock Lee-Bushy Brows, Ero Sennin-Jiraya, ... which you mostly don't find in real life. Not just the jonin teachers, but pretty much everyone in the Naruto universe addresses everyone else by their first name.

In the classic 90s anime, Sailor Pluto was commissioned by Queen Serenity (mom of Princess Serenity [Sailor Moon's ancient incarnation]) to guard the Space-Time Door, which she is shown doing in the R season, but she is later allowed to leave, and thus shows up w...	As to why she can leave the door, she has the power to seal off entire worlds out of the fourth dimension (the time dimension) (ref) . In the Crystal continuity it is unknown as it is a work in progress, and did not progress too much further from Pluto's introduction, so it is unknown for Crystal continuity
What is Alluka's (Nanika's) gender? In the anime Hunter x Hunter , Alluka Zoldyck is considered as a girl by Killua, shown when they leave their estate and were accompanied by four butlers. Killua shouted to Gotoh and said that he needs a female butler to join them because Alluka is a girl. However, I am confused bec...

Ruby Rose is Qrow's (crow, Raven's brother Ruby's aka uncle...) and Summer Rose's daughter.

How does Hisoka see Gon exactly? As a rival or as a toy to entertain himself? Hisoka hinted that Gon is his treasure and also his prey, but it can't be both, right? Because in the end, he didn't want Gon to die no matter what. So it's weird that he didn't want Gon to die but also made him his prey to fight till death....

Why is Parasyte spelled with a y in the title? It is my understanding that the word parasite is spelled with an i and not a y. However, the title of the anime and manga, when translated into English, uses a y in the spelling. However, this only seems to apply to the title, since the species is referred to as "parasit...	So the name Parasyte is likely a clever combination (and way to avoid copyright issues) of the parasite taking over the host in the anime and pericytes that help with brain function.

Why doesn't Donflamingo control Luffy? Donflamingo can control people using his strings. Why doesn't he use his ability to control Luffy, or Law instead of fighting them? <Q> I think Doflamingo can only control those who are weaker than him with his strings. <S> The most powerful man he has been shown affecting with...	Almost no-one in One Piece has any absolute powers, I don't think Doflamingo's puppet ability is magic, I think he is just able to exert a great deal of his strength through his strings.

Why can Naruto still use Rasenshuriken? When Naruto first used Rasenshuriken against Kakuzu the effect was massive. He destroyed two of Kakuzu's hearts, but there were a huge after effect to him.

What are the differences between the Akame Ga Kill! manga and anime? First of all, why was the anime completed before the manga?

Once the sword pierces skin, it injects a lethal poison into the victim, killing them within seconds. Akame states that cleaning this weapon is very dangerous beca...

What are the reasons for producing short-form anime?

Why is Aomine so dark-skinned? As you can see above, Aomine is awfully dark-skinned compared to all the other Japanese characters in Kuroko no Basuke.

Which of Usopp's lies have not come true? A running gag in One Piece is that Usopp's lies eventually turn out to be true (with some minor modifications such as his age).

Basically the lies that haven't come true according to this video are: (Conqueror's) Haki.

Did Kirito lie about being the best beta tester? I watched SAO on Crunchyroll, where the subtitles for episode 2 have Kirito saying: I made it higher than anyone else during the beta test. The reason I knew the bosses skills is because I fought monsters with katana skills on floors far above us. At the time, I ...	What he claimed contradicts with the information from the Wiki, so I think Kirito is lying about his progress. I think that he lied in that scene because he wanted to get all the hate towards him.
Why does the Teiko basketball club have over 100 members?

Why didn't Kenshin use a bokutou? Himura Kenshin, the Battousai, used a sakabatou . He did this to prevent himself from killing people anymore. My question is, if that is his goal, then why didn't he settle with a bokutou (wooden sword) instead? A bokutou would definitely be duller than a sakabatou , which is mad...

Can someone please explain the ending of Shiki? Did the whole village get burned down? How about the girl? The whole thing seems quite incomplete to me.

Is Monkey D. Luffy named after Sun Wukong? Monkey: Journey to the West by Wu Cheng'en in the 16th century is regarded as one of the 4 great classical novels of China (at least according to Wikipedia).

Why did the Uchihas never try to learn Sage Mode? Jiraiya, Naruto, Hashirama and Kabuto were able to enter into Sage Mode. One who enters Sage Mode possesses more abilities than a normal ninja. Why did the Uchihas never try to learn Sage Mode? Is it because of the Sage of Six Paths dividing his power among his sons? <Q...	Due to the amount of consideration and importance the Uchiha gives to the Sharingan, it is highly likely that they felt there was no need for any external enhancement jutsu, such as Sage Mode. The Uchiha's pride stems from their battle skills, dexterity, intelligence and most importantly, their prized Sharingan.
Was Shanks expected to eat the Gomu Gomu no Mi? At the beginning of the series, we see Shanks carrying the Gomu Gomu no Mi fruit around like a treasure. Was he expected to eat this fruit? Or did he just sell it? It's obvious he didn't want Luffy to eat it. <Q> I think he probably gave it to one of his crew members or...	I don't think Shanks ever planned to eat the Gomu Gomu no Mi. I believe he simply came across this Devil Fruit by pure chance or by taking it from another pirate crew who he happened to fight, and intended to sell it; if another member of his crew wanted to eat it, they probably would've done so before Shanks even arri...
Feasibility of Guts using the Dragonslayer In the Berserk manga, given the enormous amount of chapters dealing with Guts' over-sized sword, the Dragonslayer , I didn't try finding a pic that clearly shows the sword hanging slantingly along his dorsum.
