Look at that shit.
First it was just, "Anime is non-connon." until Kishi decided to put Raiga in Manga to make you guys change up.

You shouldn't say all Anime isn't cannon at all in the first place.
Anime can help you understand some characters and their abilities a lot more.

I guess Teen Titans Go is cannon storyline for Dick Grayson then.

Besides, that's always been the rule. Always.

NO. Hinata had a jutsu in filler that she doesn't have in manga and in the Raiga Curry of Life filler , there was another Doujutsu eye that isn't allowed in manga and hasn't been in manga. The filler creates characters but that doesn't mean the manga cant use those characters for panel time and a different reason. Hinata had some sort of 'laser palm jutsu' when her team and naruto battled some colorful bug users from another village I think that's right. Raiga is canon but his whole filler arc wasn't . It was funny and entertaining to me , but I wont accept that filler as canon much, although they did question Raiga about Kisame when they were looking for Akatsuki & Raiga said he disliked Kisame and the 7swordsmen.

basically the character Raiga is canon , but not the filler...

The manga is the only canon.

Whether or not Kishimoto borrows ideas from the anime is irrelevant.

Dude look at this way, it doesn't matter if its a filler, so long as its good and relevant like Curry of life arc, Mizuke return, Sakura pursuit Orochimaru arc, twelve ninja guardian arc, 3 tails arc, 6 tails arc, some konoha11 flashback like Neji Gaiden, and War filler arc like the seven swordsmen/ Kekkia genkia fillers subplots or sound 4 vs Konoha 11, etc and now just recently the Kakashi Anbu Arc.

Of course it matters... In the anime Naruto and Utakata had a friendship and history, in the Manga they never spoke a word to eachother.

That was awesome in the anime, how is it bad, the Anime will always Justified more than in the manga. Whats wrong with having so called "World Building" aspect, everyone would love to see more of the expansion with all these naruto characters, for me it looks much more relavant and necessary to the series, and this is the type of fillers we need for the sake of improving the series!

It doesn't matter if it's good or not, the fact remains that it is not the story Kishi envisioned and created. It's essentially a very, very well thought out fanfiction.

It doesn't matter if its written by Kishi or not, so long as these fillers are enjoyable , they're equivalent to being canon

That's all well and dandy... but they're not no matter how bad you want them to be.

Sorry but this is "Anime version" , means any fillers will change how the story will be like by triggering into canon you don't like anime then you should stick with reading manga version lol

But the anime sometimes goes back into the past and adds details to stuff we may not have knew already. And that stuff usually ends up going with the flow of the manga... So can't that be considered Canon.?

Cannonity is not based on your personal taste. I'm sorry to bring this to light.

Na everyone would feel that way, too much misses opportunities, I feel the fillers filled in the gap the missing details throughout the main storyline.

It's whatever, I guess you don't really cherish the series as much as I do

Nope, the manga's cannon. The author doesn't have anything to do with the anime, so it's not cannon at all.

those details aren't thought up by Kishi, even though they go with the flow, so can many other thought up scenarios.

the only reason this debate is happing is because Kishi didn't see a huge deal in drawing a character that has already been thought up. Why create the confusion, but otherwise, the anime is filler is filler, and shouldn't be considered canon unless Kishi draws it up in the manga.

Haha. So much ignorance. 90% of the members on this site hate the anime and I'm sure I know this series 100x more than you do.

You're too delusional to state a facts, but I guess that makes you arrogance. Seeing people like you complains fillers laugh my ass off while I'm enjoying these fillers considering some consider Canon in my eyes =)
