Why?
The first reason is that it's never brought up in the manga, and the second is the lack of logical consistency.
Containing canon content doesn't make it canon. Anime adaptation contain canon characters from the manga, that doesn't make them canon. If you could provide evidence that it fits in the timeline it would be considered.
There a databook scans that say Temari can blow away the universe, or that Kurama could burn the planet inti ash.
It also contains Naruto, a canon character. Boom canonicity solved.
The Temari scan is a mistranslation, it’s supposed to say something along the lines of “blows the world away”, which clearly means shocking the world, not literally destroying it.
I think the last portion of the comment was suppose to insinuate it was a joke, based on the "Jokes aside" part of the comment.
What contraidctions
That's a promotional one shot released around 8 months before the film even came out.
Already been brought up above
"Jokes aside" kek
Yeah, its promotional and part of the manga so its canon to the manga
He didn't recognise Killer Bee and him knowing who his parents are isn't a contradiction
Naruto knowing who his Dad is making sense if this is after Pain Arc. However, he only meets his mother after he takes power from Kurama during the War Arc. Before he meets Tobi/Obito, the war is not brought up and in the movie he never uses the cloak. That should mean he never met his mother, but he knew who she was immediately after seeing her.
He didn't even meet Kushina in the war arc, she appeared randomly in his mind in the War Arc
How does that in any way clear up the contradiction?
It could mean that Naruto does know who Kushina was as she's stuck inside his head, and don't you think Naruto would be able to tell based on how she looks?
Ok I think your misunderstood, Road to Ninja I am arguing that Road to Ninja is not canon because:
I'll rewatch that movie and show
"The manga ain't canon to the manga"
A promotional one-shot doesn't have to be "the manga". This is of course not always the case, but the burden of proof would be on you to prove the promotional one-shot is canon to the manga to begin with. Otherwise, you'd be presenting a false dichotomy.
The promotional one shot is just a chapter of the manga which would obviously be canon to the mangaA promotional one-shot doesn't have to be "the manga". This is of course not always the case, but the burden of proof would be on you to prove the promotional one-shot is canon to the manga to begin with. Otherwise, you'd be presenting a false dichotomy.
There are one-shots that aren't and are canon to manga's, and if a one-shot is made specifically as promotional material for a movie that can be argued as non-canon, it's even harder to overcome that burden on you.
This isn't to say I'm opposed to the promotional one-shot being canon, after all, I know absolutely nothing about Naruto. Haven't read a single one of the Manga's. Just thought I'd chime in on this smart-aleck comment.
I own a manga that has a chapter dedicated to a one-shot, and it isn't even canon to the rest of the manga. Yes, even if part of a volume itself, that isn't enough evidence that the chapter in question is canon. Especially so if it's promotional (to something that's debatably non-canon) as the intent is to get you to watch said film. Which again, can be a non-canon film. It being crammed between other chapters only serves as supplementary evidence at best, it doesn't stand as a basis. Here are other things that should be considered. Does the one-shot take place immediately after the chapter prior that wasn't a promotional one-shot, does the chapter after take place directly after it? That would add more credence to the claim.
listen King is a known troll and stonewaller. Just ignore him, we both know we're right and that an upgrade based on that logic would never go through, so its fine.
I've seen what they're like. While I think at times he can definitely come off as condescending and he definitely appears to act like a know-it-all, I don't think his arguments should be completely dismissed on attrition of being a "troll". I just wanted to clarify from a completely unbiased point of view on why a promotional one-shot manga isn't inherently canon. Even if crammed in-between chapters of the official novelization. From the looks of it, he had nothing to say about my last comment, so I presume he decided to actually do some critical thinking. Hopefully, he comes back and is more constructive because of it.
If I were you, I would've started with that as opposed to it's just in the manga. If I were you, I'd get scans of the ending of the prior chapter, a picture of the beginning of the one-shot, a picture of the end of the chapter, and a picture of the beginning of the next chapter and send it here as proof so they'll believe you. People believe things better with tangible evidence as opposed to claims.
