Contradicted by Canon

[marmaset]

Well, now that we've met Sesshmom (I like to think of her as 'fluffy no haha'), I know we're all hoping to see Inu Papa. I've been wondering if maybe Takahashi-san will tell us a different story than movie 3, as the movies are 'filler', or, once the filler is used, she will keep the same story line. Could there be a re-telling of Papa's death or relationship with InuYasha's Mother?

Anyone know of a time when something first appeared in filler (anime or movie) that was later shown in manga and became canon?

This question came up elsewhere and so far no one has thought of anything other than giving names to previously unnamed characters.

Movie 3 directly contradicts the manga in a couple of places. The one that comes to mind without rewatching is what happened to Sesshoumaru's arm. In the manga when Inu takes his arm he pretty much shreds it lengthwise as he does it. In the movie it's neatly lopped off. There wouldn't have been enough left of the arm to use if they had stuck with manga canon.

The series messed up a few times too. Like having Shippou grab Tessiaga in one episode without getting zapped.

Because of things like this you have to take anything that is anime/movie only with a large grain of salt until it shows up in the manga.
