Hi, I want to discuss this more because some people think Boruto is canon. What does canon actually mean? Kishimoto is not the writer of boruto, he's the editorial supervisor and there's a big difference between being an editorial supervisor and a writer. Kodachi Ukyou is the writer therefor boruto is not canon. Now i'd like people to discuss in the comments why you think it's canon to help me understand more.

(just don't say that it's canon because kishimoto was involved, because being involved isn't the same as writing it)

Canon is when the anime follows the manga. It's not about who the author is. I would say that the anime is barely canon, a lot of the episodes has nothing to do with the manga, they call it "anime canon" which is just another way of saying "filler"

It's supposed to be canon because the publisher says so but I dislike it so it's not part of my personal canon if that makes sense. Kinda like disney's star wars.

Kodachi is no longer the writer of boruto. kishimoto has retaken the job except for the art.
If you ever feel bored and are questioning the meaning of your existence, read deez blogs. Maybe you will find your answers.

Because they think Boruto is bad anime, so to them, it's another way of saying that.

Boruto is canon because it is. The creator (original mangaka, publisher, etc) it to be canon, you can say what you want, but it is the truth. Boruto is not a doujinshi.

Well, it's not canon for me and I'll probably never watch it.

Kishimoto wrote the original naruto manga....but Kodachi Ukyuou wrote boruto. I don't think that's canon. Kishimoto is only the editorial supervisor not the writer at least from what I read but I could be wrong

One of the dumbest logic I've seen(sorry I can't help it)
Just because it is written by a different author doesn't mean it's not canon.It is still canon.Accept the sad fact.

It is canon though. Even before Kishimoto took back over he gave Kodachi permission to write it. He also oversaw the manga arcs, so its not like he had free reign.

It doesn't matter who wrote it, the original creator of the story gets to decide whether something is officially canon to his work. Before bastardizing the character, Toriyama considered Bardock to be canon to Dragon Ball even though he didn't create the character.

If Kishimoto looked at some random Naruto x Kiba fanfic and said it was canon, it'd be canon. Being a separately written story is not the same as not partaking in the same universe together. This isn't some subjective thought, this is actually how it works, we tuned into Kishimoto's story, and he gets to decide what happens in his story, regardless of whether he wrote it or not.

Boruto is ass, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a direct and canon sequel to Naruto.

What's Boruto?? Naruto concluded with Naruto The Last Movie where Naruto became a Hokage and lived happily ever after. There's nothing like Boruto. What are you talking about??

You're going to be all right. You just stumbled over a stone in the road.
It means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this. Doesn't it?
I'm sure you'll overcome this.
You'll walk again... soon.

In my case it doesn't make much difference. If it is canon, will that in any way improve an aspect of the story we are already familiar with. It may, then again it may not.

I look at a series on MAL and if it says sequel, I consider it canon. If it says anything else, then to me it isn't canon. I will stress this again however, whether it's canon or not, doesn't make it any better or worse.

"I do not like it" ≠ It isn't canon.
Well I for one already loved Lain.
