Just because it varies slightly from the prototype trailers, which they were still working stuff out in, does not make it not canon. Ahem.....Ruby's chapter. It makes no sense when you look at the timeline.

Why it makes no sense, I've explained long before. Pretty sure my comment is there somewhere, I think in the manga's comment section.

Blake's chapter is a re-enactment almost entirely to-the-letter, and Yang's chapter is kind of a retcon that may or may not be canon. The only one I firmly could call Canon is Weiss's.

Also: How does the moment the statement was made, automatically make everything up to Chpt5 canon? "It's canon until it's not", I cannot see how that means everything shown in the manga by then was canon.

And I don't care about the statement anyway. It doesn't even sound convincing, more like an attempt at not enraging the side of the fanbase that can't/couldn't legaly read the manga without learning japanese.

For me, it's only canon when proven canon. If they fought X Grimm in the manga I won't see it as canon until that battle is at least mentioned off-handedly somewhere.
