@Essencials Yeah, no. They already fked up. If Sumire, the class rep, was canon then she would of been shown in Gaiden, where everybody was still in the Academy. If Iwabe, the repeater, was canon then we would have definitely seen him in the Chunin Exams in the movie and the manga. The new characters are anime-only, therefore non-canon. There is no way for them to be in the canon continuity unless the author suddenly adds them and ignore what was shown in the Momoshiki Arc. Stop making excuses and get over it
