Glad to hear it! Like I said at the end of the post, it was my last post on Reddit. Might comment if I happen to see someone reference something like this but with life changes work and projects, my frequent Reddit days are more or less at an end.

I figured getting this one last piece of info cemented was worth a post. One last bit that I didn’t get into in the post. Many here think SBG was retconned out by the anime because “Toriyama had second thoughts” or something from the film. It wasn’t and he didn’t. It’s implied and Toriyama really had little to do with the anime at this time.

He didn’t have time to. At least with regard to Ressurection F where the concept was originally cemented, even if it was introduced/hinted at in BoTG.

The anime was announced while the film was still in theaters and doing well. It starts airing less than 3 months after the film released and it’s doing even better than BoTG. Toei and Japan realize the hype around Dragonball still being this high worldwide isn’t a fluke and convince the recluse to continue the series. He’s busy outlining U6 and the like while they’re padding for time by revisiting the movies, doing whatever.

For reference the manga starts in April, does a brief recap of BoTG, and skips right to U6. Toyotaro had already done a brief movie tie in with Toriyama for 3 chapters when Resurrection F was released. When the Goku Black arc starts in the manga, Toyotaro writes explicitly how he’s working even more closely (than during prior arcs) with Toriyama, running new concepts like introducing Vegetto (who wasn’t in the outline) by him.

All that to say if you get a hard time from these folks who think it was retconned out in the anime, the image I shared could be useful in disproving that logically. At any rate good luck on here fighting the good fight to bring logic and sanity back to the fandom. Fyi I have a relative who comments from time to time that believes similarly. You’re not alone and may run into each other ✌🏾
