Lord Freeza destroying Planet Vegeta using his finger...is it canon?

Please discuss

i'm pretty sure it is

It was shown in Dbz kai which is cannon to super

Bardock movie is canon, therefore, that feat is also canon

How else would Planet Vegeta be destroyed

It's canon as the feat has featured in canon movies/flashbacks

This...

@stefano: Thanks for your answer stefano :-)

@midnightdragon18: Thanks midnightdragon18 :-)

Thank you all for your answers. So it seems we've come to a consensus that this incident is canon. I would like to see if anybody thinks otherwise and then state their argument/s.

Didn't DB Minus replace the movie as canon?

@midnightdragon18: Source? Because Kai also showed a little filler too. Though if that's true, then a certain someone is gonna do better in fights.

@wolfrazer: i'm not sure what you're asking ?

are you asking me what episode of dbz kai it happened ?

@midnightdragon18: No asking where is it said that Kai is canon, when it shows filler which isn't in the manga.

It was written by Toriyama so I don't see why not. Some people don't accept it however and that's where we get into a lot of headcanon like people accepting Gine as Goku's mother but not accepting the rest of the story for instance.

@wolfrazer: Dragon Ball Super shows "filler" as well, Gregory was an anime only character, but he was in Super.

Anyway Super uses Kai as flashbacks, so that pretty much makes it cannon

"Only using one of his fingers."

as if this is some sort of physical feat of a finger and not a ki attack.

@thekillerklok: he isn't wrong, he only used 1 finger

He used all of his 5 fingers in the manga, but also didn't look like he had to charge his attack like in the anime.

@rukelnikovftw: Is that the Super manga?

@rukelnikovftw: non cannon

@mainjp: Nah, its the "Episode of Bardock - Manga Version", but it wasn't written by Tori

@midnightdragon18: Yeah, at least not primary canon

@edbeatle: Yes. Father of Goku can't be canon since baby Goku would've already been on Earth as shown in Minus. Bardock also didn't care about Goku in Father of Goku which is different than how Toriyama portrayed him in Minus. I believe some of the events of the film are still canon like the battle on Planet Meat and Bardock getting his headband.

@rukelnikovftw: @midnightdragon18:really sorry about this off topic question but can you please tell me which movies are canon to the main series and in what order should I watch them?

AFAIK the only canon movies WERE Battle of Gods and Resurrection of F, but were made non-canon by DB Super retelling of the events. Other than that the 2008 TV Special "Yo! Son Goku and Friends Return" (or something like that) is canon (though now that i think of it... there MAY be some date problems, would have to rewatch the special to check)

@rukelnikovftw: thanks a lot mate but what about the bardock movie?

@rukelnikovftw: Which manga is that from friend?

Well neither the 90's one "Father of Goku" nor the recent one "Episode of Bardock" were written by Tori, dunno how much he had to do in either, but as far as EoB, the only thing I saw credited to him was Chilled's design.

So they are not primary canon.

EDIT: Also, as it was said already in this thread, the dragon ball minus one shot (which is fully canon) contradicts some of the stuff in Father of Goku (mainly Bardock's Attitude towards his family)

@fat_hobo389: I think the Bardock Movie is non-canon but I'm not an expert on the Bardock Movie so maybe someone else could answer that question for you correctly :-)

@arranvidreturns: "Episode of Bardock" Manga version, already answered it like 5 posts above your question :P

@rukelnikovftw: Yep :D

I think this video is canon right? apparently it's from DB Super

@rukelnikovftw: bardock wasn't created by toriyama, the father of goku is his official story

I said neither Father of Goku nor Episode of Bardock were written by him...

@rukelnikovftw: yeah but then you said minus was fully cannon

Well, Toei made the character but it was Akira (who liked so much the story) that incorporated the character to canon in the first place, talking about DB canon Toriyama's work is what composes it (save from the minor case of Super where even then he is still involved), Bardock is a non canon character made canon by Toriyama and his take of that in DB Minus is what's part of continuity, even showing Jaco in the story.

At the end the original manga itself show Freezer using his finger so there's not much to discuss.

Pretty much this, even if Bardock was not his creation, Bardock's canonicity to DB universe is that of DB Minus, cause its his only appearance written by Tori.

The feat is canon and also have been shown in Super as a flashback, here:

There is no canon. Canon is meaningless.

Bardock seems to be in space when 1st Form Freeza attacks the planet (but I thought Saiyans can't breathe in space...or is Bardock in the upper atmosphere?)

@arranvidreturns: yes they can breathe in space...anyone said otherwise is a hater

Wth?, is this for real? what is so surprising about this? he's just conducting the energy through one finger, if he had hair, he could conduct the energy through one hair if he wanted it too but it would just look ridiculous.

@abstractraze: There's nothing surprising about it but I just wanted to know whether it was canon or not :-)

please cease with the stupid ideology of dissenting opinion = hater when nobody in the net has a unanimous decision on things, more so on this fact that saiyans being able to breath in space still being debated til now. true, there are people who intentionally ignore stuff but that's only proving you are also ignoring sound observation to it if you chose to ignore one side.

this might be trolling but this is becoming tiresome and quite frankly its wearing me down
