I don't know much about the tori-bot, but does this mean Akira himself put him there?

First off, we prefer to call him by "Toriyama," since none of us know the guy personally. Second, eh... I think it was more of a whim of the episode's animators to put the Tori-bot in the crowd. As active as Toriyama is in the anime, he's probably not so active into the anime that he'd make the calls on putting his cartoon counterpart in the crowd. I'm sure he could, but I just don't think he actually would.

Now... back on topic!!

What I thought was filler: Most of Goku Saga in DB and Goku's training for the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai (it is cannon right?)

What I thought was cannon (for about ten minutes):Garlic Jr Saga and Ginyu Force vs People on Kaio-sama Planet

Then I noticed the tori-bot in the crowd:[snippy snippy]
Holy S*** someone killed the tori-bot. Poor guy. Looks like Tori won't be posting for a little bit.

Alright back on topic: I didn't relize their was a difference between the Anime and the Manga before about a year ago because well I just didn't care. I ususally didn't read the manga exept a little of the Saiyan Saga so I couldn't tell the difference. Hell I thought Garlic Jr. was as canon as Freeza.

I thought Chi Chi being reminded who Yamcha was at the 23rd Budokai and Bulma getting mad was part of the manga at first.

I was pretty sure a good portion of the 25th Budokai was filler, particularly the battle royale.
