<p>I fail to see any How to Train your Dragons influence in this series. Not because he's a fan of something means he's incorporated it into his own work. Kishimoto is human like anyone else, and as such he'll have interests and likes outside of his own work. </p>

<p>It's a YouTube video about some facts. That's not a legit source at all, everyone can make a video like that. </p>

<p>Dantman...That's why I said with How to train your dragon, Masashi was a fan, read dude. </p><p>SuperSajuuk...Because I was not sure in which category to put it in. </p><p>Seelentau...How isn't it a valid source? It's as legit is it can get. </p><p>Cerez365 ...I even stated that he was not influenced by it but he was a fan of it. </p><p>Seelentau...It is legit because CartoonHangover and ChannelFredarator are real companies and they made that video. </p>

<p>Dude, do you not understand what we're trying to tell you? </p><p>A random youtube video, no matter who made it, is no legit source. It's a secondary source, since they only re-tell what the interview (their source) told them. So if you want to add something like that, please go and find their source (the interview or whatever). </p>

<div class="quote"><i> <p>Kgsanime wrote: Why would a legit company lie? </p> </i></div>
<p>Legit companies lie all the time. Most notably, recently a major car company lied about emissions. They sell products, not the truth. </p>

<p>What everybody's trying to tell you is that the argument "it's a good source, they're a legit company" is an Appeal to Authority (they are legit, therefore the information is legit). It's not that hard to set up a company, nor is it hard or unusual for a company to lie. I think even the current POTUS has a lawsuit against him for lying with his university. Point is, neither the fact that a company claims this, nor the idea that a company wouldn't lie, is evidence of the information itself being true. </p><p>Unless you can site a direct source (e.g. a transcript or video of an interview), it's not really reliable info. </p><p>Even then i'm still not sure why the fact that he found How to Train your Dragon interesting is really interesting information. And Star Wars is such a pop culture phenomenon, i'd be more shocked if someone wasn't influenced. </p>
