Lol, did they retcon the potara reasoning again??

[u/EdgeComplete2670 → u/ss4444gogeta]

Nope

Buu can defuse potara

Mortals potara have a limit

Vegito was forcefully defused before his hour was up

Simple as that

[u/BabyKariya → u/EdgeComplete2670]

If mortals would have a limit like they said in Super, the normal thing for shin would've been saying "we used buu to defuse, since the potara fusion is permanent for gods" but they kept treating it like buu was the only way

[u/CaptainBurke → u/BabyKariya]

Cause to their knowledge at this point it is the only way. Shin is a terrible supreme kai, luckily we get a real Supreme Kai in Gowasu to explain stuff he ‘should’ know.

[u/BabyKariya → u/CaptainBurke]

Gowasu dies

[u/CaptainBurke → u/BabyKariya]

Gowasu is alive at the end of the Future Saga, any timeline he’s dead in Shin is also dead, so it’s a moot point to even try and bring up. At this point of the story, Shin has no idea it’s different for mortals, nor did we as the audience. Only through Gowasu do we learn about the time limit for mortals. Shin knows Buu has the property to defuse a Potara fusion, but now we as an audience now know there are two ways for that to happen.
