If this has already been stated then I apologize for the redundancy.
The Swordsman on the right seems to look like a Filler Character called Raiga Kurosuki, who in the filler arc stated he was once part of the Seven Ninja Swordsman.
Does this make him canon?

I don't see why not. Might as well classify the anime and movies as canon just to troll the vs section.

Yes it does. I wonder if it makes the anime as a whole canon.

He would've only lost to Dai alone. Still, going up against the 8th gate and surviving is impressive I guess.

Yup, he is the only character from Naruto to go from Non-Canon to Canon, plus his swords, which is a cool decision by Kishimoto. :yeah: :cool:

yes he's canon, he's always been.. he isn't the only "filler" character to appear in the manga

Odds are Dai didn't actually open the 8th gate, he probably got to around 6 or 7. If Dai opened the 8th gate that would be so ridiculous.

Raiga is one of the best character, I love this curry of life arc, I never thought the Anime would convert into canon materiels which is ironic!

I know the anime has shown stuff said in the manga but not fully expanded upon like Sasori versus a country but what about vice versa?

I think the character himself is cannon, the fillers are non cannon. It's like putting Itachi in a filler arc, Itachi is cannon while anything else isn't.

I always wanted Kishi to make Tobirama's Raijin sword canon.
Maybe he will make more things canon in the upcoming chapters.
