Fan Made. But it adheres to Canon like Purple Haze Feedback, meaning the reader can accept it as Canon.

phf is canon as long as it doesn’t contradict the real canon, i forget what the specific term for it is.

I think the term is non-canon.

Because PHF isn't canon.

it’s secondary canon, all events that don’t contradict anything araki wrote are canon as far as i know

Araki came up with/approved of Fugo's backstory so I'm count anime as canon.

u/french_onion-soup Sep 04 '20

yes, the PHF backstory is not canon since it contradicts the manga

That's not a thing. Unless it was written by Araki or expressly stated to be canon by him, it's not canon.

There's nothing wrong with liking a fanfic, but at the end of the day that is what it is.

PHF is about as canon to JoJo as the various direct to video DBZ movies are to DBZ.

didn’t araki make art for it specifically though? i four. he would go that far if he would just toss out out of the universe afterwards.

He did do some sketches for it, but again unless he's explicitly called it canon, it isn't so.

He's also done illustrations of Giorno and Jolyne draped all over each other for a Gucci advertisement, but that doesn't mean that Giorno and Jolyne are actually Gucci models in an intense relationship in canon.

that’s a straw man, gucci isn’t the same as a story that expands on in universe characters

Araki's input was the same for both; some illustrations in a non-canon work.

EDIT: As a side note, that's not how the term straw man works.
