As to if I consider Gine canon, that is a bit more tricky. Obviously Goku had a mother, and obviously she was the mate of Bardock. But Gine's only appearance is in a clear non-canon story. Considering both of these facts, I've decided that I'm fine with a female Saiyan named Gine being Goku's mother. I just don't see her only official appearance as being canon, so her personality could be up for grabs. I would maintain her look in that non-canon manga, however, if I ever used her. -KidVegeta (talk)
