Non-Canon
How do we know if this character is non-canon? Meshack (talk) 23:19, July 26, 2020 (UTC)

Because I only read the weeklies and I've never seen this character before in my life. That Guy that Says Things (talk) 23:31, July 26, 2020 (UTC)

He is non-canon until there's an image or mention of him somewhere in the manga. Only evidence can change what we know. Since we haven't seen any (yet), he should be considered non-canon. It's an innocent until proven guilty kind of thing. StoopidGuy (talk) 23:35, July 26, 2020 (UTC)

If he hasn't appeared or is not even mentioned in an official canon source (Manga, Databooks, SBS, etc), then is filler until provided otherwise. Cracker-Kun (talk) 11:33, July 27, 2020 (UTC)

In Chapter 980 just before Apoo attacks Luffy this guys appears, being very similar to Bearman (full bear body with only his face right under the mouth and with pauldrons). I'm not entirely conviced it's him (for example, the pauldrons aren't spiked and he hasn't a fur collar) but I think it's similar enough to at least being mentioned in his trivia section.

I don't think it's trivia-worthy, honestly. They look very different. The character in the manga looks more like a realistic scary looking bear while Bearman specifically looks like a cute round teddy bear DewClamChum (talk) 23:39, July 27, 2020 (UTC)
