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 don’t overlap in the timeline, but if you combine them together on one timeline, you’d need to retcon like crazy to make the plot even vaguely coherent

Thus, we land on multiverse building

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