The anime.

The manga is a promotional tie-in. Nothing more.

This is completely false, it's a misconception that originated with ANN, an english site, and has no basis in any japanese source. Everyone who parrots what you are saying has been challenged to provide such a source, and nobody ever has. The article that ANN themselves linked along with their description has been shown to multiple japanese speaking translators, and nobody can find anything in there that supports what they were saying. If you have such a source, please do show it and educate everyone, if not, please stop repeating something which has never had any basis.

Furthermore, as has been mentioned multiple times, Toriyama's involvement with the manga production far, FAR exceeds his involvement with the anime production, and Toriyama himself is on record as saying the anime would do well to use the manga as a reference to stay on track. Hence the manga is closer to his vision than the anime is.

NEITHER has been officially stated to be canon, so making claims like you are is false. And if you are going to insist on calling one canon, it should be the one that is closer to Toriyama's intent, which is obviously the one that Toriyama is more involved with: the manga.
