Depends what you mean by “canon”. If you mean the boom boom shooty thing on pirate ships, it’s spelled cannon, with two ns. So I doubt it has anything to do with that, unless the author/whoever translated the title misspelled it.

I don’t really know what “canon” could mean in terms of the series though. I only know two ways to use the word, one is for the name of a real life camera company, which would be weird to use in a supposed fantasy manga and I don’t think the series has anything to do with taking pictures. And the other is ofc for story stuff, like canon story vs filler story. In which case, I’m still not sure…maybe the statues the description talked about have stories surrounding them and the protagonist changes the canon of them or something? Or maybe the series in general is to do with stories and changing them? Idk lmao.

Or maybe the author just thought “canon master” was a cool sounding title and that’s it

Google’s definition leads to some possibilities.
“A canon is a collection of rules, principles, or texts that are considered authoritative, official, or standard. The word stems from the ancient Greek kanōn, meaning a "measuring rod" or "standard". [1, 2, 3]”

Could also be some religious text or prophecy as religious canon is a thing.

 

[Wookitake]

Manga:
Sand Land by Akira Toriyama
The Mashall King by Boichi

Old school Anime:
Trigun
Desert Punk

Unfortunately none of those
And I'm reading Marshall King btw...at least I was before the hiatus.

since it has statues and demons it may be about this world's fictional religion or mythology

 

[Shockzz1234]

Time travel or timeline shenanigans would be my guess.

Interesting thought, going through time and tampering with stuff could be considered meddling with the "canon" of the world.

Ah I wasn't aware of this definition of the word. Nice finds. Hmm. If we take the measuring rod to be literal, the MC does look like he has a "rod" of some type, well it looks like an instrument actually, but instruments can use rods or also even be rods themselves, I think. Also I guess like Baes says, the statues could have something to do with the canon of the world or their religion and the MC is either trying to change it by slaying the statues or the demon statues are trying to change it and the MC is trying to protect and maintain it, maybe? Maybe it's an Undead Unluck type thing where changing certain things has a huge impact on the world and the people living in it?

I wonder if the kid is actually his brother, i thought it was a friend or something but he's way too short, looks literally like a kid

 

[shillin65]

Viz is doing announcements tomorrow
Don't expect any physicals besides Modulo

You know that’s funny cause I had this conversation with my mentor who used to work at Warner Bros., and I told him about this series and made the reference to The Exorcist, and when he talked about working on the DVD extra’s with the movies original director, he said that it was not a horror movie but something regarding a deeper meaning. Same thing when he talked about the original 1976 feature of The Omen from 20th Century Fox.

A lot of these stories of demons and them being worshipped is a fascinating commentary regarding faith and false idols.

I thought it too, especially considering that some drivers are quite small in stature, but not THAT small.

Maybe a genius/progidy engineer?

 

[Broseph]

I don’t think they would. Doffy wants to be PK and so does crocodile. CG works because croc wants to be PK, Mihawk wants peace of mind with the occasional challenge, and buggy just wants success and captain John’s treasure (and now the One Piece too).

Funny enough, I think Doffy will 100% join the Cross Guild. It feels to me like the CG will end up being 'The Seven Warlords' but as a Yonko crew. They already have Buggy, Mihawk, and Crocodile. Moira is likely to join. If Impel Down has another breakout, which I think it will, Doffy and Weevil can join. Only thing I'm unsure about is who the final Warlord could be. Law? Hancock? Not sure but I'm very confident about the CG = Warlords theory

 

[Dongus]

They're starting to post character visuals now.

 

[Shonenfan]

I wonder if the canon in canon master is like a book of rules to surviving the desert environment and our MC is the one who writes it?

 

[Pietro]

What leak? you mean my comment about the anniversary? thats just "speculation" since is almost sure getting the cover for anniversary soon

Okay i thought it was confirmed

 

[Serinox]

Ngl, as someone who said people were too hard on Nakano while he was still EiC, I do feel validated seeing Saito's run and its reception so far

 

[KrenKren]

They're starting to post character visuals now.

I'd remember that pose anywhere...

Man, I'm so hyped to see the SBAA animated

Character sheet containing materials from later chapters doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be 2 cours.

My Hero Academia original character sheets had tons of pictures from the stain arc / sports festival arc back in Season 1.

How much of the anime is already done in your opinion?

All of it. They actually strapped Taco to a chair and extracted his brain (they put it back of course) in order to complete the anime in case his breaks resort in his untimely demise before the manga ends.

 

[CastletonSnob]

Finished Chapter 1079.

Shanks's Haki is ridiculous.

 

[shillin65]

And there's modulo

 

[icrawfish]

And there's modulo

Did Viz forget to use their english version of the cover, or have they still not drawn it yet? (actually, looking at the date I guess it’s a bit early for it to be designed)
