Rule 7: Canon Sources and Valid References

To keep debates consistent and avoid repetitive arguments over "canon vs non-canon," the following applies:

1. Primary Canon

* The original manga and the TYBW anime is the ultimate canon.
* While the following novels databooks and materials will be treated as supplementary canon:

  * Can't Fear Your Own World (CFYOW)
  * We Do Knot Always Love You (WDKALY)
  * The Death Save the Strawberry (TDATS)
  * Beginning of the Revive of Tomorrow (BOTROT) etc.
  * All official databooks (Souls, Masked, Official Character Book, etc.)
  * Klub Outside QnA's and Bleach anime staff editorials.

* Any feats, statements, or evidence from these sources will be considered valid in discussion.

2. Secondary Canon

* Spirits Are Forever With You (SAFWY) will be treated as secondary canon.
* Users are free to opt out of discussions involving SAFWY content.
* However, creating unnecessary disruption (spamming, derailing, repeatedly contesting its status or forcing one's narrative) will result in post/comment removal.

3. Discussion Standard

* Users must discuss canon material with their own interpretation, reasoning, and supporting evidence.
* Differing interpretations are welcome, but all claims must be backed by context, feats, or logical explanation.

4. Enforcement

* Posts or comments that dismiss these rules, or argue solely about the validity of accepted canon sources, will be removed.
* Multiple violations may result in a permanent ban.
