Seriously. Stop with the spoiler thumbnails on this site!

You put a spoiler warning in the article yet the image itself is spoiling the new Shenron, so you see part of the spoiler before you can even see spoiler warning.

You guys do this on so many articles and is why I have you blocked on most of my devices.

Do better.

I think it would be better said as Canon in an alternate universe, but not canon to the main timeline/universe.

This anime has direct involvement of Akira Toriyama before his ing. Typically Canon in DB is referred to as Akira's, and in the future Toyotarou's, involvement.

However it is NOT canon to the main timeline as this series renders the main timeline impossible.
