Not really. The only one I count so far is Samurai Jack. Sandman lists three creators (according to the Wiki data box), and the others I've never heard of or count (Hellboy? Cmon). It just proves my point.

>>91002548
>you gonna count any character that has an anime with filler as being untouched, then you're gonna count this

Kinda silly to say that isn't in anon? I mean, when people say "which version of Superman" it usually refers to which comic book iteration. Manga doesn't have fillers, only anime does. If the west does not include cartoon versions then why would the east?

>>91002653
Every issue of The Sandman has been written Neil Gaiman.
It would be like saying Akira Toryiama didn't write Dragon Ball just because executives put their ideas in his work.

>>91002644
Because it doesn't take 200+ posts to point out that there are a lot of comics that had a consistent writer / artist, and that Marvel and DC titles are treated like intellectual properties to be rehashed.

What are you looking for exactly? Self contained runs with good conclusions? Because there's a lot of Superman stories like that.

>>91002388

It never did. Toriyama's editors were a huge influence on what went on. The only reason cell ever transformed was because he kept redesigning cell until his editor liked it.

>>91009134
Having editors influence him doesn't mean it's not written by him, just like having a navigator doesn't mean you aren't the one steering the ship.

Super manga is suplementary material to super anime so not either. Not to mention that'd make the canon version of bog and rof being two rushjobs.

>>91018273
i should have made clear the canon of bog and rof is the movies, but toriyama has more input on the manga than the anime, plus goku is still in-character in the manga

>>91018295
But you said that movies and anime arent canon no matter what they are. Which includes those two.

Really, the easiest way to go with it saying just the original manga is canon. Shouldnt stop enjoyment of the side material though.

Except they aren't. Two of those examples are affecting the main canon. If they aren't canon, they shouldn't have made a difference in the main storyline.

Almost nobody would've survived past the Android saga if Trunks hadn't gone back in time. That makes him cannon right?

I mean, whenever you talk about trunks, don't you have to clarify whether you mean Kid Trunks or Future Trunks?

Fuck no. Super manga is just suplementary material and it isactually wrose than the fucking anime. There is not a real canon in Super.

>>91019832
>Except they aren't.
They are. A story can happen in more than a timeline or universe. Db's canon material features an alternate timeline.

>Two of those examples are affecting the main canon.
Only if they're canon. Trunks's story is because its part of the original manga. Xeniverse isnt. Canon applies to products, not the content.

>If they aren't canon, they shouldn't have made a difference in the main storyline.
Xenoverse didnt. Only on its own version of the main storyline.


>Almost nobody would've survived past the Android saga if Trunks hadn't gone back in time. That makes him cannon right?
Yes, because he's featured in a canon product. More than one timeine is canon. The same way more than one planet is canon.

>I mean, whenever you talk about trunks, don't you have to clarify whether you mean Kid Trunks or Future Trunks?
Sometimes you do. Which is completely unrelated to the concept of canon.

>western

I think you meant to say American, friend. European comics are frequently either written and drawn by one person alone or a team of two guys that's not changing.

The whole rotating doors and extremely compartmentalized production style with penciller, inker and colorist are a uniquely American way to produce comics.
