Talk:Henna Oyag

Canon or Non-Canon
Please discuss.Mugiwara Franky 13:33, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

He's canon because he was in a one shot. Original source is always canon. SeaTerror 05:55, October 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * "I'll keep it simple, the Non-Canon Characters category is used for characters not canonical to One Piece. It is irrelevant if he is from Wanted because the proper use of this tag concerns only the One Piece World regardless if Wanted is a oneshot manga from Oda! Since his only appearances have been in the anime but not in the manga it is justifiable that he belongs there. Unless he appears in the One Piece manga you shouldn't remove it."

 * By your logic Movies are canon to their media (anime) and guess what, fillers too. It has never appeared in the manga which is the real canon and Wanted has nothing to do about the world of One Piece, period! The only appearance the wanted poster has ever made was in original content only in the anime. It's got nothing to do with it, why are you always that stubborn refusing to admit your mistakes... you've already shown that you're not perfect and you do make mistakes like each one of us.

No this category is for One Piece ONLY. So only One Piece characters should appear in it. He does not belong there because he is canon to Wanted. If something is in an original source that makes them canon. If they appear in a different medium then they are not canon to that medium but they are still canon to their original source.

 * "...Also you never responded back on the Henna Oyaji talk page. SeaTerror 19:09, October 12, 2010 (UTC)"


 * I've said already what I had to say. This isn't going anywhere anymore, in fact it's going around in circles! Wanted has nothing to do with One Piece so it's NOT canon. Apparently you never intended to at least think it over again... I don't know why you expect a "response" when yourself haven't said anything new on the matter that isn't even worthy of one.

It is canon because its an original source. It really is quite simple. Original source ALWAYS = CANON. SeaTerror 18:00, October 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Gonna have to say that this discussion is really asking for the definition of what Canon means in the context of the wikia.


 * If Canon is being referred to the One Piece Manga, then characters like Henna Oyaji aren't canon. With the exception of Monsters, the various different one shots separate from One Piece created by Oda are pretty much different manga. They were created as different prototypes manga ideas Oda wanted to try out. They were not exactly all made in lieu of One Piece. I mean they pretty much exist in different manga universes separate from the One Piece based on their context. Wanted takes place in a Western setting which has a wondering spirit haunting the guy that killed him. God's Gift for the Future takes place in a modern Tokyo-like city and has elements similar to Death Note. Ikki Yako takes place in a setting that I guess is similar to Inuyasha what with the demon.


 * Those one shots all have elements that make them Non-Canon to the One Piece manga storyline. True, despite their different elements Oda could tie some them to the main One Piece storyline like what he did with Monsters by including Ryuuma. However, until then, they really should be treated as separate from the One Piece manga storyline.


 * If Canon is being referred as being created by Oda, the "original source", then that's where things kinda get more difficult. There are stuff like Wapol's brother and Don Achino that were created by Oda but were definitely not Canon to the One Piece manga storyline.Mugiwara Franky 19:07, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

Original source as in the one shots. The Ice Hunter arc is filler but the characters are technically canon. The one shots are not canon to One Piece but they are canon to their own works. SeaTerror 20:51, October 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes indeed, the characters from the one shots are canon to the one shots. However, canon in the wikia is generally associated by most as referring to One Piece. If they have no connection to One Piece other than being drawn by Oda, then they are technically Non-canon. The one shots are like Rave and Fairy Tail for example. Both are drawn by the same author and are canon in their respective mangas, however they are not canon in the other's story.Mugiwara Franky 00:44, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

It doesn't matter if they are not canon to a different story. They are still canon because ANY original source is canon. SeaTerror 01:45, October 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes we have more than established that they are Canon to their story. Henna Oyaji is canon to Wanted and so on. You keep saying that. However, whether they are canon to their respective stories is not the issue. The issue is whether they are canon to One Piece. You keep saying that they are Non-Canon to One Piece. The Non-Canon category is generally accepted by most as Non-Canon to the One Piece, specifically the One Piece manga. With those points established, since the one shots are not canon to One Piece, very evident in the manga, then they should be categorized as Non-Canon. However, despite the clear line, you insist that they should not be categorized Non-Canon even though the Non-Canon category refers to whatever's listed in it as being Non-Canon to the One Piece manga.


 * Considering the pattern of responses you've given in this discussion and in similar ones, I believe that your response to this one would be "It doesn't matter" or whatever repeated argument. Well, just to tell you in advance, it does matter. It matters because it is common sense. You cannot use the argument "The one shots are Canon in their own stories" when the discussion is about "Whether the one shots should be belong in a category that is Non-Canon to One Piece". Seriously, I can see why MasterDeva didn't want to respond back to you here. You aren't putting 2 and 2 together here.Mugiwara Franky 08:55, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

Nothing should be categorized as non-canon when they are not. That is the entire point of this. Also did the original creator of the template and non-canon articles claim that "the Non-Canon category refers to whatever's listed in it as being Non-Canon to the One Piece manga."?

Also if that was true then why was the Dragon Ball article never tagged as non-canon? SeaTerror 04:19, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
