yeah its canon (most of it anyway), because it wouldn't surprise me that some parts were retconned during Itagaki's time on DOA Ultimate. Hayate's back breaking was just the outter part, in official story the damage was a bit more extensive than that. When Hayate's own Torn Sky Blast was repelled by Raidou's copy of it, Hayate suffered immense damage on his spinal column, and some of the nerve collectives there were damaged beyond conventional repair.
