But alas you still have not addressed the point I made to you so I will again quote your invalid argument and show you proof.

Bri-Keyes-1 wrote: You shouldn't use the excuse of 'Oh BBS has all these other non-canon things so mustn't be official,' because BBS includes canon material too. So, as I said above, YES, Bleach: Brave Souls uses canon material but it also divides out NON-canon material into "Alternate Tales" and guess where your beloved Novel slots in?? Oh thats right, in the Alternate Tales alongside the movies and the filler and NOT with the "Main Story" section.

So again, we do not care if you, someone who uses our site and does not contribute to it unless its to try to tell us we are wrong and they are right, disagree with us as people are allowed to disagree. However, you tried to use the game as an example of how you were right and we were wrong and as I have now shown you, your example is invalid.

Also Kubo designed a lot of stuff for games movies and novels, as Xilly said, and that means absolutely nothing in terms of story and whats canon. I mean is this really your site, or a site for the community to pool together information? Answer: a site for the community. Besides fandom is an overarching site, with subsections dedicated to every fandom out there. In essence the Bleach Fandom wiki isn't a dedicated site - it's a subsidiary of the larger Fandom website. Also am I not contributing by discussing the issue of the Novels? I've edited and contributed to other wiki's here, but felt I needed to address that issue to make a contribution.

As for the game itself, yes it does subdivide story into side/main, but remember - the main story is what appeared in the manga, while the sub is what appeared in the anime or movies. Even then you can't really make that argument, since TYBW has only appeared as a small Event section sub story. So making that argument of yours would mean the TYBW arc isn't canon, yet it is. Of course Kubo designs a lot of things, but his word is law for this series. If he says something is canon, it is canon. If he writes something into canon, then it is. For example remember that tidbit about the Valley of Screams? He wrote that into the manga, which makes all/part of Memories of Nobody canon. Even the Zanpakuto designs from the anime only Zanpakuto Rebellion, are now canon.

My opinions: I'd also reckon the reason it (CFYOW) was placed where it was, is because it isn't in anime and manga form. Another reason could also be because it would look very weird to have a main story arc, skip TYBW, straight onto CFYOW. It could be that KLab working with Kubo/Narita/Shueisha deem it a side story, since it's all background info for the main series. Could also be because the novels hero is Shuhei and he's not the main character in the main series. Finally it could be that way, because as a novel it isn't restricted by Studio Pierrot/Shueisha in the same way as the TYBW, which could mean we will be getting Bleach TYBW animated.
