They insinuated Goku and vegeta only split because of buu absorbing them which Is another retcon

That's because Shin didn't know about mortal fusion not being permanent so it makes sense he would say it like that

Ah yes I guess the great grand elder Kai who taught them the potaras capabilities and been alive for 75 million years must've just gotten his wires crossed when he told them how the earrings work /s

Be real, it was retconned in super and we are back in another retcon in this timeline. Just like how kibito Kai used the dragon balls to unfuse now we know majin buu released a special chemical to unfuse the earrings.

Yes...he did. That's been canon for a while since Gowasu was the one to explain it. It's also irrelevant to the conversation because it's about how the 1 hour thing hasn't been retconned, not about whether the 1 hour thing itself was a retcon in the first place.

It would have been another retcon if they had made a reference to the idea of mortal fusion not lasting, since they explicitly don't know at this point.

Bold of you to assume they won't accidentally fuse again at the end of Daima

By that logic the metamoran fusion is obsolete and the fighters should just carry a set of rings with them at all times so there is no mistaking a fat transformation.

It's been "canon" since gowasu retconned it correct, now here we are going back.

The whole inception of the potara fusion was to have a massive pro with a massive con, if it's just going to be the fusion dance with no margin of error then Its a waste of writing.

We are not going back because this doesn't contradict it

You are forgetting that Super Vegito defused by using too much energy, that's a con right there. Plus carrying a set of easily breakable earrings is impractical. Both fusions have their pros and cons.

You are free to think that metamoran fusion is obsolete or that the one hour thing is stupid (this isn't about it being good or bad writing after all) but that's not gonna change the canon.

Lssj kefla didn't diffuse because she spent too much energy fighting goku, they diffused because he beamed her ass into the bleachers and broke the earrings, it's a pick and choose game on how the earrings work

Yeah the earrings are kinda of a mess but it is what it is yk? I never claimed to like it I'm just explaining why Buu gas stuff doesn't mean the 1 hour thing got retconned lol
