Arale Norimaki is not universe level for the following reasons. Not only is that crossover episode in Dragon Ball Super considered as filler, plus Arale is not a Dragon Ball character, she is a Dr. Slump character a separate manga universe! This is like saying both Monkey D. Luffy and Toriko are considered as Dragon Ball characters because they made the crossover themselves and should be scaled to universe level since they both beat the crap out of post-BOG Goku. Notice the hypocrisy now?
 
Dragon Ball Super has no filler because it is not based on the manga. Episode 69 is not filler, it's just a part of the story.

Crossover is not canon. They did many 4th Wall breaking to point out this episode is not to be taken seriously and it's only to make people laugh.

It is canon also you can't do a crossover with your own universe.

Prove it to me that it's canon and they didn't not massively nerfed Goku just like they did to Goku in that Toriko x One Piece x Dragon Ball Z crossover special.

Arale has appeared in DB before, she (and her serie) share universe with DB. This is no different that Superman/Batman crossovers.

Just like how Monkey D. Luffy and Toriko appeared in Dragon Ball and their universe is no different because Akame can sense Ki and has capture level?
 
What everyone else said. Arale has shown to be in dragon ball before, and none of DBS' episodes are really filler when it's ahead of the manga to begin with.
 
@John Cena, that is company crossover, that isn't canon to neither of the companies verses.

Dr. Slump and Dragon Ball is also a company crossover as well. One is a gag manga, and the other one is a martial arts manga. They can't exist in the same universe.
 
They are both creations of Akira Toriyama, they share the same universe, same way with Jaco, in the Earth map in DB even specified the place where Arale lives in.

That's it, Dr. Slump is indeed a gag manga, and a crossover with a serious manga can cause inconsistences.

That's why crossover is not canon. They even did many 4th Wall breaking to point out this episode is not to be taken seriously and only did it for laugh.

You: Fairy Tail x Rave Master is canon because

>Same author >canon manga >appeared within canon fairy Tail manga multiple times
 
What can we say? She appeared there and DBS anime isn't an adaptation (unless we count Toriyama's script). Again, that wouldn't mean that consistence, and it will be only contradicted if does not fit in Dr. Slump primary canon.
 
@JCN

Your arguments are full of false equivalencies...

1) There is no filler in Super as there is not Manga that the anime was following. You source is spreading misinformation.

2) Arale is canon to classic Dragon Ball and is canon to Super as she appeared in a canon episode. Gags =/= Non-Canon.

So why isn't Natsu Dragneel not planet level since he beat the crap out of Haru Glory in that Fairy Tail x Rave crossover in the Fairy Tail manga which both universe is done by the same author? See what I'm getting at? Crossover is not canon! It sabotage power scaling!
 
Arale and Dragon Ball aren't crossovers. They exist in the same universe. Penguin Village exists in the Dragon Ball Universe.

Dr.Slump and Dragon Ball = Two stories that happen on the same planet and universe.
 
There were not canon to the respective manga's verses, they didn't fit and/or they do not share the same universe. Arale appeared in DBS anime so in canon to it, if we consider Toriyama's script has canon it wouldn't be, but no one cares about the script. That episode will remain canon unless it contradict Dr. Slump canon serie (that I dount is still running).

Penguin Village only showed up in Dragon Ball World from a crossover, you don't see it by itself.

Then please, enlighten us how this works.

Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, Dragon Ball GT, and Super Dragon Ball Heroes is an example of a shared universe where they can exist in the same universe.

Yeah, and Dr. Slump shares it to. So that's a shared universe. BOOM! There you go.
 
Prove it's a crossover. Because, everything points to it not being a crossover as it is not an episode special, but a main episode. But please explain this crossover to me and how it isn't "a shared universe".

We're Waiting

Except one is a gag manga where every characters have Toon Force and the other one isn't. So how is it a shared universe? They don't follow the same date calender. One uses year the other one uses age.
 
Is this really an issue? I mean, even you had evidence that Arale in DBS isn't canon, that's only a separate key that doesn't really affect anything.

We even have a profile for SBB Kirby even though Smash isn't canon to the Kirby universe.
