Personally, for me, it’s the moment when Cid enters the chat room during the Return to Tokyo arc.

I have only read the manga, not the light novel, so I have no idea whether there are any moments later on that confirm it. However, I am genuinely interested in the topic, which is why I asked.

The spin-off about the Seven Shadows is generally considered canon because it includes the manga version of the battle between Cid and the dragon that ruled Alexandria before the creation of Shadow Garden. So I was wondering whether Shadow Side Story should also be considered canon.

We know very little about this item, but it is a World-Class Item that is apparently effective against dragons, and in the web novel it even helped wipe out numerous players. Even though the web novel is no longer considered canon, it still shows that Kugane Maruyama originally created it with the idea of it being an absurdly overpowered item. So, in your opinion, could we see it being used in the final battle in the future?
