About DBZ anime canon

[D4yN4m0N]

Well, I recently saw people saying that the DBZ anime is canon and they use this image.

What do you think about that? They are right?

The two main points there are:

1. I admire what they have done in the anime.

2. Dragon ball, its the anime and the manga.

First point doesn't prove canonicity, he is saiyng that adding new stuff to keep the viewers interested and to make the episodes reach the average is a good idea.

Second point is kinda vague, but i agree it implies that dbz story contains both the anime and the manga, i'm all in for the anime to be canon so i m8ght be a little biased.

I don't think some obscure translation; forgot what language Spanish or Portuguese, or something else. We only accept it if Japanese stuff say things like that. But the Anime strongly contradicts things that happen in the Manga regardless.

on that note, can we discuss the super anime's connection to the z anime and potentially gt?

 

[QuasiYuri]

He litteraly explain how he wasn't involved in anime and Toei added stuff by themselves.

I wouldn't say that the "DB, it's the manga and the anime" is enough for it to be canon.

If anything, I think that scan proves Toriyama recognizes the existance of different continuities.

Yes, this isn't proof of the anime being canon to the manga.
