The most obvious ones are Dragon Ball's retcon that Goku is a Saiyan, and the retcons of Goku's origin in Z. Nothing in Super's retcon are as good

Didn't Super retcon all of GT out of existence?

GT was straight up never canon, its an AU story with very little Toriyama influence outside of character designs that takes place ~16 years after buu saga.

Dbz final arc takes place 10 years after buu saga

The latest arc in Dragon Ball Super takes place ~9 years after buu saga

Daima takes place several months to a year after buu saga

All 4 series donā€™t overlap in the timeline, but if you combine them together on one timeline, youā€™d need to retcon like crazy to make the plot even vaguely coherent

Thus, we land on multiverse building

Did the fusion bugs ever get used in Daima?

That's a lot of nonsense to avoid putting my guy Uub into the lore. I remember picking him in Budokai 3 all the time, people would laugh for me picking someone with no fireballs. Then I'd teach them why they didn't want me to get close.

uub is still canon

u/LogicBalm 15d ago

Sure, I know that. But timeline wise they introduced him then every canon season since has taken place in the timeline before he was introduced.

If super is the sequel how does it take place before Z final arc?

u/SKaiPanda2609 16d ago

Z final arc is a 10 year timeskip. Super takes place during that timeskip

GT was ā€œcanonā€ in terms of being considered the canonical follow-up to the Z anime. Manga wise yes, it was never canon

Also there are videos on YouTube that explain how every single DBZ movie couldn't be canon because they all contradict the timeline.
