Bleach Canon: consists of materials that are thought to be genuine (or "official") and those events, characters, settings, etc., that are considered to have inarguable existence within the fictional universe established by the manga series Bleach. Canocity can only be Sanctioned by Tite Kubo specifically stating that the material in question is canon. The Bleach Universe is expanded through other additional materials such as movies, novels, promos and video games which do not necessarily take place in exactly the same fictional continuity as the Bleach manga.
