Allowing the use of start/end of chapter blurbs

[MinatoSparkle]

Bump?

 

[LordTracer]

Gonna have to agree with Damage.

 

[Qawsedf234]

Yeah, I agree they're printed in the magazine version. But I disagree with them being considered canon.

Yeah I'm with damage here. This would be like using the back of novel covers as canon feats or power scaling justifications. Those nexts are editor hype blurbs that are to get readers interested in the next chapter/issue. They're not present in the volumes because there's nothing to hype. Its at best secondary canon and really should just generally not be used. Especially when after enough time they're just going to be incredibly difficult to find due to being replaced with other versions of that chapter.

Why is the back of novels different from the back of volumes which are used? (like in the justification for SM Naruto>SM Jiraiya)

Generations and Revolutions are secondary canon, but they're still used when noncontradictory.

Which is the exact reason I proposed them being used on a case by case basis, not just entirely discarded when arguably lesser canons are used for scaling on the site.

Looks like the majority so far is opposed to this proposal.

It isn't, which is why both should absolutely not be used.

Question, what if the Author has statements of working closely with hos editors and has even mentioned that he gets angry at them for doing a statement without his permission and has taken action against editor's that add things in without his approval?

Why was that accepted but not this?

Does he?

 

[TheUnshakableOne]

Does he?

yes, hes made comments on it

 

[MinatoSparkle]

yes, hes made comments on it

Link?

 

[MinatoSparkle]

Something occurred to me. Generations is accepted as canon and used for scaling, despite there being no direct confirmation that Kishi wrote its story content, just that it's canon. Similar story with the novels, and even to an extent with the databooks, as it was implied the staff were a big part of writing those.


How is that different from blurbs not being directly confirmed as being written by Kishimoto but being part of canon material?

It's crazy how controversial this is when games are considered canon

 

[Tyri456]

Those stuff is 90% of the time hyperbolic statements to get the readers attention not put by the authors.

they're their own canon now

Source?

ain't no way you said source

 

[MinatoSparkle]

Isn't that the main Storm games?

ain't no way you said source

They're literally saying it's not written by Kishi with no proof, I think that's a justifiable question
