Why did Aizen kidnap Orihime in Bleach? I remember that Aizen kidnapped Orihime but I don't remember if it was explained well why this happened. I have several hypothesis but not sure if they are true: Was it that the Hogyoku didn't work until Orihime cured it some how? Was there such a scene in Bleach that gives evi...

What are the squinting faces (>_o△ The squinting face that anime characters make can express a range of expressions. Here are two examples: From this alone we might be inclined to call it the "cute crying face." However, consider the next picture: The character (Rokka from Shoujou Yokai) still uses the same face, bu...

The most common uses in anime are to depict: Emotions can be expressed by changing how the eyes, mouth, and face are represented.
What were those Poneglyphs from the Alabasta arc? During the Alabasta arc when the crew was crossing the desert, Luffy, Zoro and Chopper fell down a hole which led to a big dome-like structure. In the dome, there was a huge stone with Poneglyphs written on it. None of them knew what it was much less its meaning. It was...	Since the poneglyph in the desert was a non Canon episode there is no meaning in its existence.
Why was the bridge already down when the second train arrived? In the first episode of the new anime "Koutetsujou-no-Kabaneri" , the first train had to stop before they let it enter the station.(which can be seen in the following picture) Why was the bridge already down before the second train even arrived? This mad...	I think as long as you arrive according to schedule, the town will just lower the bridge beforehand, as staying outside in a potentially kabane-infested zone is very dangerous.

Where did Decim send Chiyuki? To reincarnation or to void?

Why do anime characters stand on telephone poles all the time? In a lot of anime and anime-styled fan work, anime characters are shown standing on the tops of telephone poles. I understand this angle makes it easy to show the character against nice scenery, but it's not something that should be as regular as it is....	Mostly animes in which a character stands on things are mostly action or martial arts based.

In the Pokémon franchise (I'll accept answers from any canon source, whether the anime, manga, games or anything else I can't think of), Poké Balls are used to catch Pokémon.

Why does Sasuke have 6 dots on his Rinnegan When looking at Sasuke's Rinnegan, I noticed that he had 6 dots in it (the same kind you find on a Sharingan). But Madara didn't have this. His just had a few circles but nothing else. Is there a reason for this? <Q> The dots <S> you're mentioning is actually called T...

Is the Harbinger of Spring based on a real Japanese legend? In Episode 2 of Flying Witch, this rather strange looking fellow appears and terrorizes poor Chinatsu at the door. Makoto explains that he's the Harbinger of Spring, some kind of nature spirit who ushers out the winter and ushers in the spring, like a fairy....	I would consider the Harbinger of Spring a force or spirit of nature, and not necessarily a specific legendary being, even if it may appear as one, like in this anime. So, as a non-Japanese speaker, I did the obvious, and entered the Japanese characters for the Harbinger of Spring into Google search and got a wikipedia...
Why did Shisui sacrifice himself? Why did Shisui sacrifice himself? More importantly, why did he crush his eyes? Is it because he wasn't strong enough to protect them from falling into the wrong hands?

Who typically owns the rights to an anime's soundtrack? I watched episode 7 of Space Patrol Luluco today, and, well, that sure was a thing. Saliently, it featured a piece from the Kill la Kill soundtrack: "Gekiban Tokka-gata Hitotsu-boshi Gokuseifuku" (OST 2 track 1), which is basically the soundtrack-ified vers...	The performers own the performing rights, which are usually transferred to the record label by contract.
Shouldn't Naruto's RasenShuriken be a forbidden Jutsu if it's so powerful? Naruto's RasenShuriken can usually kill average shinobi in one shot. If it's so powerful shouldn't it be forbidden? <Q> It's not typical of strong techniques to be forbidden. <S> Incidentally, Tsunade did declare Fuuton: <S> Rasenshuriken as a f...	Forbidden jutsu are often techniques that either damage the user, require a sacrifice (other than just Chakra), or is generally immoral.
Why is Megumin a weird name? When we are introduced to her in the second episode of the anime, Aqua and Kazuma mentioned that her name was weird. She further revealed her parents' names, Yuiyui and Hyoizaburo, which are apparently weird as well. However, to the Western audience or at least to me, it's no more weird th...	Thus, Megumin's given name sounds like a nickname. As @ton.yeung mentioned in their comment, it's because it's so different to the other names of the fantasy world. They are from a feared and highly known clan that produces arch-wizards that are feared - the comments made in the anime are as if telling a legend or myth...
Can a Nen user still use their abilities after Kuroro Lucifer steals it? When Kuroro Lucifer steals the ability of another nen user, does it mean that the original user wont be able to use it anymore?

Why exactly is Saitama a hero? Saitama, who trained for three years only doing 100 push-ups, 100 squats, 100 sit ups, and ran 10 kilometers every day, became a "superhero for fun", but what does he mean by that. Is he really only doing it "for fun" or did he have motives but then forgot? Because normally a hero does...	We can theorize that he also wanted recognition for his work since that is his whole reason for joining the Heroes Association.
Are Eileen and Erza related? In the chapter 482, Neinhart started to realize that he has heard the name Erza before, nonetheless, he knows that she is the Erza Scarlet that he has heard of. He started figuring out that there might be some connection between Lady Eileen and Erza scarlet. “Hair…and this magic power…” ...	The anime/manga itself hasn't confirmed it, so technically they currently are not related and the idea of them being related is a theory (doesn't mean its wrong). Personally I think that Eileen is either Erza's mom or like, Erza from the future or something.
Why does Light Yagami shuffle the two death notes? Light Yagami gives a death note to Rem and asks Rem to give it to Ryuk. Then Ryuk drops the book according to Light's order.

Why did Emilia give Subaru a fake name on the first time they met? On their first encounter on a timeline that was later reset, Emilia told Subaru her name was Satella.

Emilia seems to have not believed how clueless Subaru was, so she faked the name and winced after she said it thinking his reaction would be negative. Satella as the witch must be common knowledge to the citizens.

Also reading into thing...	At the time Shisui died he was 16 and Itachi was 12-13 years old.

What is the source of Sanji's flame power? I recently came up with a theory that Sanji might get a power because all his siblings did, even though he was called a dud.

Did the Sage of Six Paths give them his own chakra? Or did he give Indra's chakra to Naruto and Asura's chakra to Sasuke which fused together to make his own?...

Why were the Chidori and Rasengan ever regarded as powerful jutsu? The hard part about using the Chidori or Rasengan is making contact. If you make contact, the battle (should) be over.

Against enemies with that kind of durability or regenerative ability, the raw power of jutsu like the Rasengan or Chidori is absolutely necessary to secure the fight.

What do people mean when they say "Notice me, senpai"? I'm new to anime and my friends really like it. They really like to say to me " notice me, senpai! " and I don't get the reference.

A much shorter answer: in a lot of manga and anime there is a character that likes a senpai, an upper classmen, however, no matter what they do, they can't get noticed by the senpai.

Do ghouls also live outside Japan? In the universe of Tokyo Ghoul : Do ghouls exist only in Japan, or do they thrive in large numbers throughout the world?
