    Yamcha is far stronger than you think

    That's very helpful. So when you indicate the "+" symbols, my guess is that you are suggesting a feat would only be under the "Manga + DBS anime + 'Canonized Kai scenes'" if it appeared in each of those mediums? As for the Otherworld content, because of the reasons DBZ is canon with the manga...

    Yamcha is far stronger than you think

    Saying "Toriyama didn't write it", then saying or implying "it doesn't matter what Toriyama said", is a pretty clear example of cognitive dissonance. I get the idea of manga purists, but there is all of this contention about canon when the creator of the story himself has already given us the...

    Yamcha is far stronger than you think

    If that's the case, do you have anything explicit saying Toriyama signed off with Yamcha in said filler? I don't really need to show Toriyama explicitly signing off on every single piece of DBZ, considering he was not the owner of DBZ. All I need to show is that Toriyama, the progenitor of the...

    Yamcha is far stronger than you think

    These are great, and I'm glad that they exist, but it still stands in the face of reason, if you ask me. Outside of the movies being explicitly referred to by Toriyama as occuring in a different dimension, that verbage is never applied to the anime, in fact it's quite the opposite. It seems...

    Yamcha is far stronger than you think

    Yeah I made sure to do some cursory googling before my repsponse. I am aware that she was consulted, however, I haven't seen anywhere indicating that she was directly responsible for certain things added to the movies, nor that she explicitly signed off on certain content. Side point: I'm not...

    I'm not sure what you mean. Toei profile? Like this: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:AidenBrooks999/Toei_Profiles

    Yamcha is far stronger than you think

    I would consider those different, because of the various interpretations of canon. The creator of the HP movies didn't own the HP franchise at the time the movies were made, and I don't believe JK directly contributed to adding things into the movies. So if anything, they were fan made stories...

    Yamcha is far stronger than you think

    Are there any existing threads explaining the current rhetoric behind Dragonball canon being exclusive to the manga and Kai? I did a cursory search, but didn't managed to find any.

    Fair enough. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Yamcha is far stronger than you think

    Sorry for getting back to you so late. In the end, I think people who discount filler take a strange stance that is explicitly counter to author intention. Further, there is more than sufficient means of connecting the canon of the manga and anime using the interpretations of canon. Using three...

    Yamcha is far stronger than you think

    What dictates that it is non canon? Is it Toriyama defining Dragonball as "the anime and the manga"? Is it Toriyama's contributions to DBZ in the way of mini story arcs, characters, corrections, and oversight? Or is it non canon because you think only if Toriyama explicitly wrote "And then...

    Yamcha is far stronger than you think

    Considering that Krillin in the Namek Saga upwards of 75,000, more than enough for most fo the Ginyu force, that the other Z fighters could get that strong is strange to you? Also, as I asked above, under what pretense does "filler" disqualify Dragonball Z as a valid source for information on...

    Yamcha is far stronger than you think

    It's actually not too vauge. If you asked Toriyama if, for example, Yamcha got strong enough to fight the Ginyu Force, by this example, he'd say yes. Dragonball Z is canon to the story by virtue of including all of the Manga content, and adding on the additional stories that Toriyama...

    Yamcha is far stronger than you think

    It was an insert of a French Magazone, "Dragonball Z Anime Special," 1989. Toriyama explained in his mini manga, "Anime and Me", his impressions of the Z anime, what they added, his thoughts on them, and the key piece at the end. "Dragonball, it's the anime and the manga." It's clear that...
