Actually, i was using a Wikipedia article, which said that GT was officially canon although fans considered it not to be. Then, someone went and changed it taking out the part that said “GT is officially canon”. That’s when i realized articles on wikipedia can be edited by anyone at anytime. Nonetheless, that’s what the thread starter is using, and SSJ1, SSJ2, SSJ3 is “canon”.

“In the context of fiction, the canon of a fictional universe comprises those novels, stories, films, etc. that are considered to be genuine, and those events, characters, settings, etc. that are considered to have inarguable existence within the fictional universe. Usually items that are considered canon come from the original source of the fictional universe while non-canon material comes from adaptations or unofficial items.";
So what you’re saying is GT isn’t official; because it is. If it wasn’t official, then it wouldn’t be made by a licensed company that had rights to make it. Instead, it would be made up in some fan’s mind. The only reason it’s not considered canon is becuase of some contradictions that are insignificant to begin with.

Dragonball GT lacks both of these qualities, Unlike Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. Akira Toriyama had only minor involvement in the show’s early stages;
So what about Superman’s original writer; If i recall, Superman was made in the 50’s. So, would the original writer still be writing about Superman to this day; not likely. From what i heard, Superman has 100+ writers where as dbz has only one. If what you’re saying is true, then everything that was made by writers other than the first about Superman should be non-canon due to the fact the original writer did not contribute to the new material.

setting forth the initial premise of the series, as well as designs for most of the main characters, including newcomer Giru. Because of his minimal involvement, some parts of GT contradict the previous parts of the series. It’s inconsistencies include but are not limited to;
You do realize you are using this from a Wikipedia article which i already mentioned can be edited by anyone at anytime; But anyway...

* Goku’s immature behavior and seemingly limited strength in his child form, despite retaining his adult memories and strength.
* Trunks and Goku not using Super Saiyan as often as they ought to, in fights where it would easily allow them to win.
* The fact Gohan could turn Super Saiyan despite the fact it appeared that after having his power unlocked during the Fusion saga he was unable to do so anymore.
* Vegeta growing (and then shaving off) a mustache, when Saiyans are previously stated to only have hair that grows in a set pattern, to a certain length.
As already mentioned, these have very little importance to the fact that the character’s increase in power is correlated with the amount of fighting experience they gain through battles and training. They are also insignificant considering they don’t have to do with the fact saiyans have no limit to their power. With more experience, they get an increase in all of the categories; such as strength, speed, and durability. Plus, i could easily say that KH2 isn’t canon because Axel who was a member of Organization XIII said every heartless slain only by the Keyblade releases a captive heart. Though, when Cloud and Squall killed heartless, the captive hearts were also released...that’s a contradiction. Kingdom Hearts II is canon.

There are too many things GT lacks to be considered canon.
