well the way szayell & aroniero was brought back to live - 17 months indeed too long & there maybe many secrets (plots) untold - anyway IMO like Oda did with GoldLion/StrongWorld in OP he left it unanswered ie whether it is canon or not - Kubo may do the same though he may left us fans wondering whether Hell chapter/movie be canon or not - honestly I see it being a test whether it can become a hit or a bomb and let the fans decide it or we just wait for KT to confirmed it right?
