===Retroactive Continuity=== | ===Retroactive Continuity=== | ||
Retroactive continuity, or a retcon, is when a more recent work considered canon renders an element of a past work, or sometimes an entire past work, as non-canon. In the case of a retcon, any elements of a past work that are contradicted should be considered non-canon to any future works. However, they should still be considered canon to the original work, as well as canon to any works produced between the original publication and the publication of the retcon. | Retroactive continuity, or a retcon, is when a more recent work considered canon renders an element of a past work, or sometimes an entire past work, as non-canon.

However, they should still be considered canon to the original work, as well as canon to any works produced between the original publication and the publication of the retcon. Examples of notable retcons include the addition of [[Royal Penguin]] to [[PPP]] in Kemono Friends 3, contradicting [[S1E8]] of the anime's first season. Note that in cases where characters may not have knowledge of in-universe history, it is possible that some retcons can be explained canonically and a contradiction is not necessarily present. However, the previous canon is still considered to be replaced in such instances. | ||

Crossover events in live services titles such as [[Kemono Friends 3]] are to be considered non-canon, with some exceptions. Lore introduced in crossover events that is later utilized in materials considered canon, such as the main story of the title, are considered to be canon. Additionally, characterization, such as a Friend being a fan of the source material for a crossover, is to be considered canon. | Crossover events in live services titles such as [[Kemono Friends 3]] are to be considered non-canon, with some exceptions. Lore introduced in crossover events that is later utilized in materials considered canon, such as the main story of the title, are considered to be canon. Examples include expansion of the function of [[Sandstar]] in the process of becoming a Friend, which was first introduced in the 2015 mobile game via a crossover with ''Ghost in the Shell'' and then later made fully canon by the first season of the anime.
