Anime Trivia [Please read 1st post before posting questions]

[Arigatomina]

The Rules:

Keaton's Basic Ground Rule:
You must answer the current question correctly in order to ask a question. (5/17/03)

Keaton's Traffic Streamlining Rule:
If you are 100% certain that your answer is correct, you can ask a question right away instead of waiting for confirmation. (5/19/03)

Keaton's Necropost-Immunity Traffic-Uppage Rule:
After at least two days of no new questions or answers, anyone can restart the thread by asking a new question. There is no such thing, then, as necroposting on the trivia thread. (5/21/03)

dwchang's Implementation of the Rule of Alternates [one way of handling alternate questions]:
A particularly tough question is taken back in favor of an easier one once ten wrong answers have been received. (5/27/03)

Rule of skanks' Suffering:
When people break Keaton's Basic Ground Rule and attract traffic rather than follow-the-rules posts, the thread will tend to determine the line of succession by who answers what questions, rather than by rule as delineated earlier. (~5/29/03)

skanks' Rule of Resignation:
If for some reasons someone doesn't want to ask a question, they can pass it off to whoever they want to. (6/9/03)

Kai's "THIS JOB IS TOO HARD!" Rule:
Questions that are not answered correctly within 24 hours of their posting are replaced by the poster who asked them. (7/10/03, codifying a tradition begun by EarthCurrent the week before)

EarthCurrent's Rule of Inevitability:
Nobody can ever REALLY stay retired from the trivia thread. (7/14-15/03)

youkokitsune106's Rule of Teh Google:
Prior knowledge should be used to answer questions in the trivia thread; the internet is a last resort. (7/18/03)

EarthCurrent's Anti-YYH-Ping-Pong Rule [simplified]:
You cannot ask a question about the anime that the question you answered was about, or about the same anime that you asked your last question about, if you've asked a question before. (7/27/03)

some stupid stats:
This thread currently has 71 pages, 8425 views, and 1055 replies.
83 anime or manga titles have been mentioned in conjunction with questions.
Two questions have been asked twice.

Please repost these rules and any additions that develop every ~50-60 pages, and update the stats if you feel like it.

New Rule: Don't spam to get the thread extra hits - if you want to guess at the current question, that's fine. If you think it's time to make a new question, or have a problem with a question, that's fine. Making a post to have random words down may easily send this right into WOT. And if that happens, the last person to spam should volunteer to repost the 'Questions Asked' list.

[NOTE: I'm posting the questions asked - please do not post in this thread until I've finished the questions and have reposted the rules and the last question asked.]

Gateau is french for cake.

Question #50:

I thought of something, should be easy for YYH fans.
What happened the first time Kurama and Hiei met? [What were the circumstances? - not just a two-word answer.]

When Kurama was walking home with his friend Maya (who had a crush on him) Hiei popped out of nowhere and started to fight kurama because he thought kurama was working for Yatsude, a demon that Hiei was hunting down. Kurama decides to take the fight to a more secluded area and leaves Maya there, pondering about what she just saw (Hiei fighting kurama). Anyway.... Kurama acidentally hurts Hiei and ends up taking him back to his (kurama's) house to help him get healed.

that's generally it but if u wanted more.....

Hiei leaves after Kurama heals him, however, shoortly after he leaves, Kurama gets news that Yatsude has Maya. So Kurama runs after hiei eventually teaming up with him to kill Yatsude.

[Arigatomina]

Question #51:

another YYH question seems in order.....

In the Dark Tournament (or Ankoku Bujutsukai which ever you prefer) What are the names of ALL 5 TEAMS that the Urameshi Team (Yusuke's team) fights against?

Anji (most kohl worn)
Kamatari (most sexually complicated)
Henya (most skinny)
Chou (most silly hair)
Iwanbo (most pink)
Saizuchi (most bald)
Fuji (most extremely unlikely)

And...

Makoto Shishio (most ass-kicking)

Depending on who you ask, others put Houji (most boring) or even Yumi (most revealing) as the tenth member, with Shishio as the head of the group but not counted within it.

Question #53:

In Haibane Renmei, what name is assigned to those born with black wings?

it's generally referred to as either Charcoal Feather Federation or Ash Wing Brigade or something else like that.

Question #54:

It's for YYH fans. In the Dark Tournament, who does Team Urameshi and Team Toguro choose as their extra member after the death of Genkai?

Toguro team chose their team sponser, Sakyyou (sp?) and Urameshi chose their 'sort-of' team sponser Koenma, since both teams had 4 intead of the required 5 members.

Question #55:

I'll switch animes for this one, it's Gundam Wing, and pretty easy. What are the full names of the 5 gundam pilots (spelling does *not* count for 04, and bonus if you know 03's real name), and who were they raised by (as children)?

01- Heero Yuy was raised by a man named Odin.
02- Duo Maxwell was raised by the priest and Sister Helen of the Maxwell church until they were killed.
03- Trowa Barton was raised by mercenaries for as long as he remembers and I think his name was Triton Bloom.

05- Chang Wufei was raised the people of his colony and Master O. He stayed on his colony until his wife Meilan died.

Question #56:

It's about the anime Fushigi Yuugi. (another easy one)

What are the names of the warriors that DON'T die? (Suzaku and Seiryu only)

i was thinking about it before and i thought that Amiboshi didn't die...... but i wasn't sure.... and then i thought he did cuz Suboshi gave him that drink...... that the old woman made.......... but i wasn't sure if that would have killed him or not....... ( i need to rewatch Fushigi Yugi ......>.<) lets see..... the Seriyuu seven are...... Nagako (he died at the end by all of the seishi's power together), Soi (dies by getting hit... with an attack that was for nakago), Ashitare (killed by....... Nakago?), Tomo, (killed by Tamahome i believe......), Suboshi (killed by Tamahome in the human world), Miboshi (killed by Chiriko didn't like that episode.....), and Amiboshi......... i guess he didn't get killed by the drink soup thing???

so yeah..... Amiboshi would be the addition to my answer of Chchiri and Tasuki from before.......

Chou's favorite sword is the Hakujin no Tachi. (the sword with a blade so thin and flexible that it's easy to control.)

Question #62:

Since he only has 2 techs in his Tenka ryu it has to be either Shukuchi "Reduced Earth" or Shun Ten Tatsu "Instant Heaven Murder".

Question #63:

Very well heres yet another from RK. What is the Ultimate Tech of Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu.

The Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki or the succession technique.

Question #64:

Once again, Rurouni Kenshin. What is Kamatari's most important dream?

Kamatari's most important dream is to either be Shishio's lover (Yumi) or Right-hand man (Soujirou). The problem he faces is that he can never be either (as he stated in his soliloquy (sp) when fighting Kaoru and Misao). So yeah...essentially be that important and help out Shishio...but ultimately can never be.
