That's fun and all, but no matter how you cut it, you cannot have two contradictory stories both being canon to the same thing. Can't both have your cake and eat it.

The canonical sequel to Dragon Ball that continues the story after the Majin Boo Arc. Toriyama created the story and character designs, while the manga is drawn by Toyotaro.Huesito88 said:

It more likely means we can supplement anime material with manga information, and that the arcs are what's important, but the little details aren't.Saikou The Lewd King said:

I disagree with the interpretation of this.
I think it is saying that Super, in general, is the canonical sequel to Z. And it just mentions that Toyotarou draws the manga. Not that the manga is the primary canon. As it contradicts everything we know about Super's canon up to this point.

Technically you can, there are many franchises that have a contradictory canon, with two versions of the story totally contradictory, but which are equally valid within the chronology. Digimon is an example, with multiple versions existing of Digimon Adventure (Anime, Novel, Game), but are equally valid for the story that represents "Digimon Adventure".Saikou The Lewd King said:
DBSuper is even simpler, because we already had several interviews with Toyotaro explaining how Dragon Ball Super works. Toriyama creates a base script, Toyotaro and Toei are free to develop a story that is then sent to Toriyama, who analyzes and then sends corrections to these stories to fit more into the story he created. Thus, we use as the basis the idea that "Anime is canon because it came first" and that is not this type of analysis that is made by Toriyama himself when referring to the two works, and they are equally valid continuations for the story which he started. But of course, they don't exist in the "same world", but as "equal valid interpretations of the same world".

At the end it depends what happen in the movie: we already known there are two canons, but if the movie reference the anime, then is canon two the anime, if it reference the manga, is canon to the manga, a third options would be a mix between canons.

Imo, it just says that Dragon Ball Super as a whole is the canonical continuation, and the manga is drawn by Toyotaro.
Both completely different statements. It does not say "DBS manga is the canonical continuation and is drawn by Toyotaro."

Guess this thread will be inconclusive until December when the movie come out, unless there's something else that need to be cleared.

Welp, DB as the primary canon and the one that started all this it was obvious to be represented in the canon timeline, DBS manga is its only sequel (the anime wouldn't fit too much since, for example, Gregory do not exist in the original manga).
