Could you kindly provide proof for Toriyama's "significant" involvement?
Additionally, I realize that it is somewhat strange to equalize all video games to the same canon status, but involvement from Toriyama in the capacity of the franchise's creative owner alone does not merit a Tertiary Canon status.
For example, the hero is a character who is never heard/mentioned in any other Tertiary Canon (which is not the case for other Tertiary Canon).
Additionally, XenoVerse fundamentally modifies the DB cosmology, which is again, not hinted or acknowledged in the least by any other Primary, Secondary or Tertiary Canon.

I have no problems with the list. Until events in canon occur that support the timeline of Dragon Ball Online, we should group it with the other video games in terms of canon, even if it was written by Toriyama.

The DBS manga is also canon btw
The image notes that the manga is "completely supervised by Akira Toriyama-sensei" and that "Toyotarō is drawing it with all his might!!!"

Speaking of the manga, I want to ask you two about how you put the manga together. I hear Toriyama-sensei checks the storyboards for each chapter.

The manga should be above Kai and Dragon Ball anime since Toriyama had zero involvement with Kai. We can use the DBS manga unless it contradicts the DBS anime directly for the given scene (since Toriyama supervises it completely).

Apparently characters from the DB movies showed up in GT when briefly resurrected from hell in the Super 17 saga, so I think that the movies are canon to GT at least. Othervise I do not have a problem with this list.

I stand alongside Antvasima with this.Antvasima said:
Also, Dragon Ball Online should be Terciary Canon, as it was written by Toriyama.
... And what about Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, DB Minus and Dr.Slump?

DB Minus and Jaco are basically parts of the Manga, so should be rated on the same level as it is, I think. I dunno about Dr. Slump.
DBO being Tertiary Canon is fine with me, now that I think about it more. Not like it really affects anything yet.

But the problem with DB Minus is that it's completely different from the Bardock Origin that is present briefly in DB Kai and briefly alluded to in the Manga...Promestein said:
Also, History of Trunks is Secondary Canon, right?

I think DB Minus was intended to be a retcon.
Should be? I dunno.
