Why not.. The writes of SP are approved to add those scenes, if there is something that the mangaka doesn't want them to touch or wants to do himself he can tell them not to do it.
Most people will say that if it isn't written by kishi then it even existed. Which isnt true.

-all anime only scenes fit very well into the plot
-people forget (or simply ignore) that the madara vs. shinobi alliance slaughtering was anime only, yet they love it so much they give it a pardon and consider it 'canon'. Going by that logic, if you believe that was canon, then you have to also believe everything else is too.

I'm sure Kishi doesn't have 100% control over the anime and its contents due to contracts and such. So I disagree with you.

The manga is the source material from which the anime is adapted. The anime is just an adaptation, and is no more canon than a movie that was adapted from a book.

And this is the what you're looking for. Even Madara's scene was filler but it did include parts that were canon. Filler isn't considered canon because the anime goes too far sometimes. Like Kiba breaking Rashouman walls at ease when PS sword with TBB couldn't do so.

People don't like the truth. hmm

Filler is NOT canon; anime depictions of canon are canon.

I couldn't hear enough of it for weeks. But I only said that because some mangaka collaborate with the anime developers to make episodes that could be considered canon to the story. Not Naruto, though. :)

Kiba could break through the susanoo xD

They both are canon, they both are on the same plane of existence in the narutoverse.

Its just like in Death note, there are filler scenes in there yet no one seems to notice or care. ;/

The difference between the two is that one is fashioned by the mangaka himself, while the other is fashioned by anime developers. Kishi tells them what they can't do, and they go off and do the rest.

What doesn't come out of the mangaka's mind isn't canon to the story of Naruto. But that doesn't mean the anime developers can't expand upon Naruto Lore, which is what you're getting confused with.

sorry kid , but that's totally incorrect . .____________.

example: in a filler during Curry of Life , Raiga episodes there was another Dojutsu ..
There are supposed to be only 3 Sharingan , Byakugan, Rinnegan... aside from the Eldest sons eyes :mad:_@:
but in the filler a little kid had his own totally new eye power and kekkei genkai..

also Hinata was in a filler about some bug women or something where she used some type of gentle fist
laser hand thing .. She obviously cant do that in the manga . :] she barely knows 64 palms Lol

also that lady that everybody on here is in love with that works for Orochimaru with the purple hair
she was in a scene during Orochimaru's and Sasuke's epic training scene and it totally pissed me off. -____-
she has crystal powers or something and lots of people like her. <_<

she's ok , but she's no Anko. <3

You must be registered for see images


Kiba ain't better than Sasuke, not even in his dreams buddy.
But I think you see my point by now, fillers go too far sometimes which is why we cannot consider them canon.

You're obviously not gonna listen to what people say but if something occurs outside of the original story line then it is not canon that is simply the definition of the word canon and you disagreeing with it will never change it. There are filler episodes that follow or pertain to canon material but they themselves can never become Canon unless included in the source material.

Filler is called filler for a reason.

Filler exist purely so anime do not catch up to the manga.

Sometimes filler stuff isn't consistent with the manga. Sometimes they make small changes but sometimes they make big mistakes or just change stuff like eye color (Kurotsuchi has pink eyes in the manga, black in the anime. So, what is her "canon" eye color?) seemingly for no reason. That's why I prefer sticking to the manga canon, and regard anything that happens in the anime as secondary. For further reading: . It isn't even a complete list, too.

You're wrong there, the studio owns the rights and can do whatever they want with the series. Kishimoto has no power over them whatsoever.

That would mean he would have to be at all their meetings to be able to know what is going on and what they're putting in. And he barely gets enough sleep or time with his family with his current schedule. No.

Anime-only scenes don't always fit very well into the plot. Last week, Kurama reminded Naruto that he has never kissed a girl, but if you consider movies and fillers he's done so several times. The anime chose to ignore even their own fillers.

Kishimoto has even worked on non-canon stuff, so he's not totally immune to the non-canon universe bug. In Road to Ninja, it took place in a village that never got destroyed even though it took place after he defeated Pain. He is called "The hero who saved the village from Pain" in the movie. Naruto's apartment, the old Ichiraku Ramen location, and the park he played in when he was little were all still there.
