I think the notion of canon as authenticity is an interesting problem and hang up.

American comics are interesting and fun still even though there is no longer an authentic quality that centers around a specific creator.

X-Men is still cool even if Stan Lee isn't writing or the creator of Batman has been dead for decades but everyone pretty much thinks that Batman is still cool, and all of the rest of American comics in the mainstream (equivalent to Jump) don't have a "canon" anymore.

I suppose I have to question whether I am a Kishimoto fan or Naruto fan first, and I am comfortable being a Naruto fan first.

I just feel that there is a lot of enjoyable stuff to be missed if the fan base gets trapped in the loop of "authentic" and "canon".

This is too smart and well-written for this forum. You should have written TUGIUGKJGJKG Itachi HKHLKHKLH Minato

The author's direct involvement makes the canon status of the material less than questionable. I am still not sure why is there such a sensitivity on this front; first it was art, now it's the material. Pick and choose, folks.

kishi has direct involvment in storm games too.

he's neither writing or drawing this manga. I, like many people cant consider this canon.

Is Dragon Ball canon ? according to your logic, the answer is no, cause Akira not involves with the manga 100%.
Same to Naruto, Kishi only play a major part in it, but the final art piece is performed not only by Kishi himself, but also his staff & co worker.
Now the "company" got bigger, Kishi has more money and lazier, still he is the one who supervise it like before but work less.
If you watch any hollywood film series, you will notice that there are dozen director, different script.......... we are not going to complain that episode 2 is not CANON cause it has different director from episode 1 ????????????

Even if you consider it canon it won't make a difference in the quality being shitty. Which could easily make people turn away from the series.

Yep, I agree. All of us have already seen, that even canon story can be totally shit. I mean.. Obito being "Tobi", Hagoromo as a character, Madaras defeat, Kaguya, VOTE2, the movies, Naruto-Gaiden and now the new manga of Boruto will continue with this.

I think people claiming it not to be canon are just butt hurt their God isn't directing the content anymore. It's simple, it's a Manga series that is canon, and it will remain canon unless Kishi decides to pick up where the last left off. Call it what you want, but at the end of the day, it's canon, no matter what you say.

It could continue to be worst. Cause to me the newer generation will follow the similar formula as the past one. I much rather have one original story than make multiple copies of the first one. Its a tiresome trick used to get easy money.

Exactly this :lol

I'm expected to be butt hurt somewhat by the new series. Meh. I gave up on Naruto, so I'm really just in it for the surprise of the new series itself.

Not really for 'naruto'

Then it isn't canon :sdo: or at least not to the parts written by the creator directly.

Yes, they are the law and creator say so not You. Go ahead and use your argument in court you will only get the judge to rule against you and give the layers a chuckle.
