No, it's not. We've been over this before.

It's not the manga reference to the anime arc that makes the entire anime canon, it's the author of said manga stating that the two are indeed connected.

The anime referenced the Raiga arc, yes, but that was it. It doesn't make the entire filler canon. Only the line where "Naruto killed Raiga" is canon. Not the arc.

If The Last Jedi mentioned Revan and the Jedi Exile, does that make KOTOR 1/2 canon? No, only their names. That's how it works.
