Talk:Kibin

Where does it says his name in the anime, or is it in the opening theme?Zero62422002 02:05, November 15, 2010 (UTC)

Episode 475 credit and Japanese subtitles. --Klobis 08:38, November 15, 2010 (UTC)

Canon
So the guy's actually canon now? 17:46, June 7, 2013 (UTC)

He appeared in the manga, yes. 17:51, June 7, 2013 (UTC)

In Chapter 594 he did, but all his scenes in Marineford are still non-canon. 17:52, June 7, 2013 (UTC)

And by extension, his rokushiki abilities as well. 18:22, June 7, 2013 (UTC)

Right now nothing is canon in this page. He just appeared in a chapter sitting and doing nothing. 18:24, June 7, 2013 (UTC)

It also means his rank wouldn't be canon either. It will be hard to mark it on the article. SeaTerror (talk) 18:27, June 7, 2013 (UTC)

We use Dalmatian and such from credits to name these fellows, but they all appear in manga canon regardless. 18:56, June 7, 2013 (UTC)

Kibin was given a rank only in the anime. So his rank is non-canon. That could be a problem. 18:59, June 7, 2013 (UTC)

True. His appearance is really the only thing canon about Kibin, since he only appeared in the manga after the war (that we can find), unlike Dalmatian who had an active role in the manga despite lacking a name. What we've done before is take the name we're given and sort of treat it as canon (while still pointing out it's not) until we get something better. The best example for that would be Vice Admiral Stainless. Before he was named Stainless in Blue Deep, he was credited as Kaiseruhige in the anime credits. 19:03, June 7, 2013 (UTC)

I hope somebody will question his rank on an SBS. 19:05, June 7, 2013 (UTC)
