Boruto

[Shadowbokunohero]

Do we count both the Boruto and Manga as canon or just the manga if so why?

 

[Antvasima]

I think that we originally counted the Boruto movie as canon, but since the manga continues further along the storyline, it seems to be the new canon. I am not sure if we have considered any official policy regarding the issue though.

 

[LordGriffin1000]

I think we count both so long as one doesn't contradict the other or at least that's what I thought, hopefully someone who know's more will see this thread.

 

[Antvasima]

That seems like a sensible approach as well.

 

[Joseph619]

The manga should be greater canon than the movie, since it's now it's the primary source material and will remain so. However would be a different continuity from main Naruto manga if it contradicts kishimoto's story, since Kishimoto does not write it

 

[Dark649]

I agreee with Joseph since he appearance of Toneri and the handful of powers of Boruto, which has not in the Manga.

 

[MostPowerfull]

As far as I can see ... Both Anime and Manga are being produced by the same guy, with Kishimoto's supervision. It seems that Anime will follow a different chronological line and both will help each other in some way (similar to DBS and his manga).

I think both can be considered canon as long as they do not contradict the movie, which is the REAL canon.

 

[Antvasima]

It is a rather confusing situation when we do not know for certain which is to be considered as the real canon. However, since we have used the original Naruto manga as canon previously, I suppose that it is more consistent to do the same for Boruto.

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

@Antvasima in Boruto's case if had to choose one i would say the anime, it is the most popular out the two and most mainstream, its the one most general people are going to recognize and i think it would be better for the wiki to focus on that one it would make it easier for new wiki users and avoid confusion later on because they simply haven't read the manga. however using both as canon would still be the better option as one acts mostly as a prequel,so there shouldn't be much problems when it comes to continuity

 

[Antvasima]

Hmm. I will ask Gwynbleiddd for input.

 

[Gwynbleiddd]

Popularity isn't a reason to count something as canon.

 

[Gwynbleiddd]

@Ant I don't read or watch Boruto so i don't know what is canon and what isn't.

Maybe we can ask someone on Narutopedia?

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. If anybody wants to help out, feel free to inquire there instead.

 

[Dark649]

I think we should follow the manga since its more linear to follow than the Anime, which can be hard to judge for scaling purposes because of the Shino event and Boruto getting a lot of powerups, which has not in the manga.

 

[Gwynbleiddd]

I agree with Dark649.

If the anime contains filler arcs then it would be better to just follow the manga.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I agree with that suggestion.

 

[Antvasima]

Should we write a brief discussion rule about this?

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

if we do some profiles will require editing and deletion as they draw specifically from the anime.

 

[Gwynbleiddd]

There are like 4-5 boruto profiles with nothing that important coming from the anime.All of their stats can be the result of powerscaling from part 1 Naruto gennins.

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

very well then.

 

[Antvasima]

@Dark649 & Gwynbleiddd Do you have a suggestion for how to word a brief discussion rule for this?

 

[Gwynbleiddd]

I'm not good with words.

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

Do not attempt to upgrade or change Boruto characters based on events and feats in the anime as we use the manga as our primary source. idk ...

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. No problem. If Dark649 can tell me some justifications for why we should follow the manga, I can try to rewrite it.

It is just that I do not think that the following will be easily understood by a casual visitor:

"We should follow the manga since its more linear to follow than the Anime, which can be hard to judge for scaling purposes because of the Shino event, and Boruto getting a lot of powerups that he has not received in the manga."

What is the Shino event?

 

[Dark649]

Shino who fought with the Juubi spawn was surpassed by ninjas at the level of Boruto, which is inconsistent and they fought and defeated a creature, which Sai and Kakashi had problem to fight with.

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

@shino well he was being possessed and was caught off guard though.

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

as for them defeating Nue, they fought a much smaller version and only did so by defeating the host who is 9-B herself.

 

[Dark649]

I remind that Boruto has not that special eye that can open portals in the manga.

 

[Antvasima]

Something like this perhaps?

"We consider the Boruto manga as canon since it is more linear to follow than the Anime, and in addition the latter can be hard to judge for scaling purposes. Shino, who fought with the Juubi spawn, was surpassed by ninjas at the level of Boruto, which is inconsistent, and they fought and defeated a creature that Sai and Kakashi had problem to fight with. Boruto also received a lot of powerups that he has not received in the manga."

This is good

 

[Antvasima]

Let's wait to see what Dark649 thinks.

 

[Dark649]

I agree, also there was the appearance of Toneri, which said to stay in the moon during the Last.

 

[Antvasima]

What do you mean?

 

[Dark649]

It is not that important, in one episode of the anime Redeemed Toneri (who is the one that cut the moon) appeared to talk with the protagonists despite him abbandoning the earth at the end of the movie Naruto The last.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Are you fine with if I add my suggested regulation then?

 

[Dark649]

Yes, the creature i was referring is called Nue and they fought a smaller version, which is not that much weaker than the full version.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I will add the text then.

 

[Antvasima]

I have now done so. Should we close this thread?

 

[Dark649]

Yes, also the anime will likely introduce a lot of events and new characters, which will never appear or mentioned in the manga like Nue for example.

 

[Antvasima]

Should this be added to the regulation text, or is the old one acceptable?
