To the official continuity. Only the manga and non - filler anime is canon. The TV specials, movies, and filler episodes aren't canon. Unless you want to say it's canon that Goku and Picollo couldn't lift a bus.

The continuity is derived from the manga - the anime adds many things that are inaccurate, or just very poorly thought out.

Every character has highs and lows. I don't see why not. If you look at the full body of work rather than the one instance, it's not really and issue. The nitpicking is the problem.
The thing is that the manga was written and drawn completely by Toriyama and it's mostly consistent. Adding all of the filler and non - canon stuff just makes the whole thing a mess.

Like the way Marvel fans disregard Claremont's writing when it's convenient?
But Claremont wrote canonical work. As far as the MU is concerned that stuff actually happened.
The DragonBall anime didn't (technically) happen only the manga did.
But this seems irrelevant since I don't recall Goku getting to SS4 in the manga anyway.

Much like there's the 616 universe, ultimates and the Movie versions of Marvel characters.
If we can work on seperating these things out we can stop needing to worry about the non-canon or canon argument.
GT is canon to the anime but not the manga for example.
Originally posted by Harry FingermanI think there needs to be some specification made. This is a comic book forum so shouldn't the Manga be default.. since it is the closest to comic books? Even if it appears in "magazines" or "graphic novels" rather than "comic books"... still closer than anime.
But most people go by the anime...So, would it be canon to the board, is the question?

i agree to the point where i dont even see why this is an issue.
Originally posted by CreshoskYabuh, it doesn't necessarily have to be close to comic anymore.

Are we gunna use the Halo novels and poop, or the game version?
But yes. There should be some sort of rule about this.
Just like the rule that says current versions unless specified.
Everything I use though, is based off of anime versions.
Backwards comics cunfuzzeled the shit out of me.
I'm lost without the anime... 🙁
