exploding hospitals out of sheer annoyance and anger at
the doctors as they refuse to treat Law (suffering from
a disease believed to be contagious but in reality, is not), is

movie released about two decades ago. In the scene, the

ID X or what is the iconic scene?

11. Question 6
When this character first started out, he did not have much
interest or passion for the sport, at least compared to the
main character of the show. However, after being nudged by

when facing one of the team’s biggest rivals. The opponent had
made a small mistake, and he took his chance.

similar moment in the fourth season. What had occurred then?

anime.

were too strong for his body to be fully destroyed as a
result of which certain parts of his body remained.
ID X.

16. Question 10 *
After airing in 2019, this clip from the ending of a famous
anime went viral, with fans all over the world copying the
actions of the character in the clip and posting the videos on
social media. Other social media users took the clip and paired
it with other music, making remixes. It is likely that the reason
the clip got so popular was because it used an animation
technique called rotoscoping, which made the movements of
the character very realistic. Considering the clip, this
technique was probably very hard due to the amount of
movement.

The screenwriter of the live-action adaptation of X revealed that
one of the main characters Y was left out of the film. The setting
of the movie was changed from _______ to Japan after the
director chose to film on an Island located off the coast of
Nagasaki.
This led to Japanese actors playing roles of Caucasian characters
with their names being translated to Japanese as well. Translating
Y's name caused some problem since Y’s original name contains a
letter that is not used in traditional Japanese names (It was
changed to “Rivai” instead).
ID X and Y.

19. Question 13
Usually, all the costumes/equipment for the characters are designed to
increase their strengths/powers, but the equipments used by X are
solely designed to minimize the negative effects of X's strength.

reinforced spring to soften the shock.
ID the character. (blank not indicative)

21. Question 14
Although it doesn't seem like it's anything special, X is a
bokuto created from a ten-thousand-year-old tree from
another planet that cuts through almost anything, owned by
Y. However this claim is still vague due to the nature of Y.
It also bears many similarities to Bleach, in the sense that
his sword also has spirit, which surfaces to teach Y some
of his “ultimate techniques”.
ID Y.

22. Question 15 *
Suga shrine, located in Yotsuya area of Tokyo is
considered as a shrine for God of rice and harvest. Being
on the high ground, the city traffic is barely heard here. It

was a common metal used in ancient Japan. Its name literally

X’s are made from an ore based on Hihi'irokane and thus
the translated name of X is “sun blade”.
ID X.

24. Question 17

These are a powerful source of power that exist in this
anime (from over a decade ago), both in the real and

character, or any other side character, helps someone
