{"id":425493,"date":"2023-11-08T16:08:08","date_gmt":"2023-11-08T22:08:08","guid":{"rendered":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/?p=425493"},"modified":"2023-11-08T16:08:15","modified_gmt":"2023-11-08T22:08:15","slug":"is-spy-x-family-code-white-canon","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/is-spy-x-family-code-white-canon\/","title":{"rendered":"Is SPY x FAMILY Code: White canon?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Being an anime fan, it\u2019s easy to assume every <a href=\"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/attack-on-titan-last-episode-post-credits-scene-explained\/\">anime<\/a>-based movie is \u2014 by nature \u2014 non-canon. I mean, with almost every <em>Dragon Ball<\/em> film (sans the more recent <em>Dragon Ball Super<\/em> films), every <em>One Piece<\/em> film, and nearly every <em>Naruto <\/em>film all being non-canonical, it&#8217;s a fair conclusion to make.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>When it comes to S<em>PY x FAMILY Code: White<\/em>, those conclusions around canon may be a little harder to draw. However, understanding how those creators and their communities view additional media is part of this process. <\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-spy-x-family-code-white-canon\">Is SPY x FAMILY Code: White canon?<\/h2>    <p>So, the answer is a bit complicated because it depends on how tough you\u2019re willing to be when judging canonicity. It would seem <em>Code: White<\/em> is telling an original story written by mangaka Tatsuya Endo, who is \u201calso supervising the film alongside creating the original character designs for the new characters,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crunchyroll.com\/news\/latest\/2022\/12\/17\/spy-x-family-anime-continues-with-season-2-and-movie-officially-announced-for-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crunchyroll News<\/a>. Taking this into account, I would call it partially canon.<\/p>    <p>But, if your personal definition of the word canon is so strict that it requires the story being told to be one initially presented in the manga, then you\u2019d probably consider <em>Code: White<\/em> non-canonical. In any case, it\u2019s quite possible that the <em>SPY x FAMILY<\/em> anime and\/or manga will reference characters or events from Code: White in subsequent seasons, as both <em>One Piece<\/em> and <em>My Hero Academia<\/em> have done. So, you should still make plans to go see the film when it comes to western theaters, courtesy of Crunchyroll.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-we-determine-canon\">How do we determine canon? <\/h2>    <p>For those anime fans who\u2019re out of the loop, a story is considered non-canon if it doesn\u2019t fit into the main series\u2019 timeline for any reason; this usually occurs if the mangaka \/ manga author isn\u2019t involved in writing the story\u2019s plot. In some cases, the mangaka takes on a supervisory role, and the canonicity of these stories varies on a case-by-case basis.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>For example, despite Eiichiro Oda\u2019s involvement in <em>One Piece Film RED<\/em>, it\u2019s impossible for it to be considered canon due to it being a mish-mash of different arcs and story beats. So, that explanation considered, perhaps you understand our feelings on <em>SPY x FAMILY Code: White<\/em>, but now you&#8217;ve got what you need to make those judgements, too.
