Why do you keep saying that as if you KNOW it was just misinterpretation? ONE could have easily just suggested to say Boros was a planet buster. They're not exactly uncommon in fiction.Wbaez93 said:

One, not two. Only the manga suggests that, whereas the anime suggest Boros is going to bust the planet, and the webcomic suggests nothing (except planet level in name alone).Wbaez93 said:

"Wiping someone off the face of the earth" is a phrase, but his move is called planet destroying cannon. You dont say" im going to destroy you off the face off the earth". I believe the manga misinterpreted the one comic originally.

In the one comic=??? difficult to tell (imo planet busting)
in the manga= planet surface destroying
in the anime= planet buster
in the manga= planet surface destroying
in the anime= planet buster

This, really. In the webcomic, Boros is just sort of focused on murdering Saitama.Animefanman said:

Heavily possible, as "wipe you off the face/surface of the earth" is just another phrase for killing someone.MafiaFox said:

I think in the comic it was intended to destroy the planet. But thats just my opinion, in the anime it was planet busting, in the manga surface wiping level most likely.MafiaFox said:

As he neither did, and it's just a misinterpretation. Nor you nor I can prove that ONE suggested that change or that the staff misinterpret it.The Everlasting said:
That he sat down with the staff production tells me nothing.
"Tomohiro Suzuki is doing the script and the series composition. The author of the original manga, ONE, as well as Murata-Sensei sat in our production meetings. They shared their views from a manga standpoint and we shared ours and reworked the series composition as well as what volumes featured. They gave us a lot of input and their participation was very helpful."
Nothing there says that they (ONE and Murata) overseen the script thoughtfully.
As it is stated there, they just gave their input and were "helpful". But it was "Tomohiro Suzuki" who did the script.

Not to barge in on anything important, but if this counts as canon, would that mean that we'll count video games, adaptions or spin offs that had overview/ help from the original author as canon, unless stated otherwise?

No one knows, Imo just leave boros at multi continet, i hope this episode showed you that his regen and ability to kick people into space is actually his strong factors to consider when used in vs battles.

Xenoverse is a game with little to no direct involvement from Toriyama that also contradicts actual canon in a great number of ways.Wbaez93 said:
That is absurdly different than an anime directly overseen by the original creator that barely, if at all, contradicts the loosely established canon.
- 15,606
- 7,020
Yes, but it wasn't entirely, and yet we still consider it canon and gave characters major upgrades because of it.GTgokussj4 said:
I feel it's genuinely unfair to call that canon but ignore another anime that had direct involvement from the creator of the original intellectual property, which Kai didn't.

Exactly if this is supposed to be a reference to piccolos Ki blast we'll I'm pretty sure that's because of later characters despite using Fullpower displaying nothing near this for a while

Thats true i just posted the interview as a backup for the Dragon Ball Kai stuff, also Tornado of Terror meteor feat should be considered since it was in the anime as well.Azathoth the Abyssal Idiot said:

Indeed. And 6-A Tatsumaki isn't out of the question, as she's casually 6-C, and if 5-B Saitama, Boros, and Garou are accepted, they'd still be way beyond her, anyway.GTgokussj4 said:

Kai = meant to be faithful to the manga + scenes of it used in Super (which is canon) > CanonAzathoth the Abyssal Idiot said:
OPM Anime = "reworked" version with just the input and standpoint of the creator > You know what that is.
The only reason Kai was accepted as canon was due to the scenes that appeared in Super.
- 15,606
- 7,020
Yes, but Kai still wasn't worked on by Toriyama. You can't argue "Kai is canon because there was a flashback to a scene that was originally filler in Super" while saying "OPM's anime isn't canon because at one point Boros said something slightly different".Wbaez93 said:
- 389
- 20
Doesn't matter, really. The primary canon references it, that's the only thing that matters, and that's why it was accepted as canon. Not because Toriyama worked or not on it.Azathoth the Abyssal Idiot said:
And slightly different? It's completely different (from surface busting to planet busting.)
- 15,606

He literally says one line differently. That's it. It's not like he says "I'm going to blow up the universe!"Wbaez93 said:
He just talks about blowing up the planet as opposed to the surface of the planet, which was likely the original intent, anyway.
Oh, and yes, the creator of the intellectual property does indeed have a large part to play in what's canon.

Sorry, I didn't read well your message.Azathoth the Abyssal Idiot said:
It isn't canon because you aren't proving that 'ONE' indeed oversaw the script of the anime thoughtfully. The info you brought only talks about ONE and Murata giving their input and nothing else.
It even says that it's a reworked version and that someone else is doing the script.
If you have anything else that states otherwise, please show it, because as I said earlier, the info you brought says nothing.

My main problem is that if Murata mis-interpreted: "I'll wipe you off the face of the earth!" which is a common phrase for killing someone and put it as: "I'll wipe you along with this planets surface" which could be some sort of translation error or something of the sort.Wbaez93 said:
- 15,606
- 7,020
How does that info prove nothing? It literally says they came and sat in on production meeting, even "discussing their views from a manga standpoint". That's a lot more solid evidence to use it than "Boros said one line differently" is against it.

Giving input/standpoint =/= overseeing a script. Nothing there hints at that.Azathoth the Abyssal Idiot said:
If you have another source stating otherwise, I will step aside
- 15,606

It's in the quote.Wbaez93 said:
"They shared their views from a manga standpoint and we shared ours and reworked the series compositio as well as what volumes featured."

I interpret that as that they (the staff production), reworked the series by themselves after hearing what ONE and Murata had to say, not because they supervised them.Azathoth the Abyssal Idiot said:
Anyway, it's not like my opinion would change anything.
- 15,606
- 7,020
I interpret it more as them reworking based on suggestions made by ONE and Murata, and coming to conclusions in the actual meeting, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get any input back.
Then again, there are both just interpretations, after all.
