real meaning in literature or stories: "plot device that comes out of nowhere". Basically, something that moves the plot along basically because the author wanted it to move.

A previously unsolvable, extremely difficult, or intricate problem is suddenly solved with the introduction of a new character, object, or object. Used all the time by popular shounen series (think bleach/naruto: ultimate bad guy suddenly defeated by main character's newly learned ability!) or video games (this is more forgivable though).
Yes for the first one, no for the second.

From the get go, we've alway known about the effects of Imagine Breaker. And nothing has drastically changed since then.

But I digress.

Yes.

You don't screw with the Rome Catholic Church and get away with it. After the incident in Italy, Touma has become their public enemy number one.
