Are the canon? Can they be used as proof?


or are they just a bunch of hype with absolute no merit behind all of it?

Yeah sure. Just don't take obvious exaggerations seriously.

They can be used as long as they don't contradict the manga

"Temari being able to blow away the universe"


"Sasuke being a Speed God"

"Naruto being able to dodge lightning"

Bull shit like that, common sense.

Sure. Databooks are wirtten by Kishimoto. However, thing is, they are true until proven false, by the manga's upcoming events, or another databook.

Like in summaries of the story's events, it will tell us what is what based on the manga. Like when it was stated there that Itachi was a heartless murderer. That was true, and what Kishi wanted us to think at the time, and it was as far as the story went. But surely he wouldn't put spoilers in the db. So, he's going back over what we knew, or thought to be true, then. As the manga story unfolds, we get the truth on Itachi. And the next databook will include that info now that it's come out.

It's like what Randy, of Scream, says about Trilogies.

Skip to 32 sec. They eventually reveal what we thought was true, actually wasn't, or had more to it.

they are the latter.

they have no link to the narrative progression.
its subtexts & stats have have no contextual substantiation or quantification between the characters themselves

they are obviously not canon, as they are not even literature

The databook is pure facts written by kishi himself, however don't confuse the hyperboles for facts. Kishi likes to add flare to his mangafacts, it's cool. :bdpf:
