Add the fact that the Toriyama's interview about SSGOD and Yamoshi was made at the end of november 2017 far far later than his script about TOP....
So there is absolutely no reason for Toriyama to keep revealing something he decide to suppress 1 year ago...
And since december, we know Toriyama work for the new Movie, so it's pretty clear his interview with Yamoshi is connected to the new script !
So to resume, the thing we see now in DBSUPER is way before the revelation of SSGOD origin.
People are kidding themselves with this silly retcon DBS away thing.
Toei's press release for new movie:
"The theme for this remarkable new film will be “Saiyan”, the strongest race in the universe. Since “Battle of the Gods”, Goku has undergone new forms from Super Saiyan God to Super Saiyan Blue to other evolved forms that have gone up against many invincible warriors from multiple universes. This new story will focus on the origin of the Saiyans’ strength and what it means to be Saiyan."
Doesn't get more black and white than that.
Exactly. When thinking of what goes on in Dragon Ball, you have to think like a CEO at Toei. Stuff like fan-service, homages, and returning characters are all for money. Why would Toei or even TORIYAMA erased everything that has ever happened in Super, the series that probably has world building at the biggest scale in dragon ball ever, giving Dragon ball more potential than its ever had? That would be the WORST dragon ball related decision ever.
Man I hate this logic.
Just like all the charts and graphs to show us Super would not be ending any time soon.
Just like Toriyama isn't going to bring back yellow SSJ because Blue is now the face of Goku and Dragonball.
Just like all the claims that the Grand Priest wasn't actually going to destroy universes and some elaborate plot with Goku.
Just Like the LSSJ not appearing in Super because Toriyama would never use something like that.
Just like Toriyama wouldn't ignore his movies in regards to Goku absorbing SSG power in his base form.
These "never going to happen" scenarios are getting proven wrong time and time again. Its ridiculous.
The new movie is about SSG being the origin of SSJ. It is circling back yet again to making SSJ the front running iconic form.
Further simply undoing the events of Super does not prevent anyone from existing. It's absurd. The form still exists. All you have to do is look at GT to see that none of that matters. They will sell it regardless of its standing relative to the story.
We have armchair CEOs running around talking about how this would be a bad business decision, etc. Yet they seem to be doing everything contrary to what the fans claim "good" business people should be doing.
At this point the writers are using common tropes to progress the story. One of the most common tropes is the "All just a dream". And one of the key give aways are the deaths of major characters. So far we have virtually every other universe being erased. A major character from the mainline plot, and it an ending and resolution coming in a few episodes when the full climax has not even been reached. Its the most giveaway aspect that the audience is being setup for a "it was all just a dream" moment. Or in this case a "Reset button" via the Super Dragonballs.

Sometimes the dream lasts longer than one episode — entire seasons, and even entire series, have been known to turn out to be dreams. Often, when the dreamer awakens,
the really epic events (death of a major character, etc.) from the "dream season" will be reversed.
It really isn't even worth debating over at this point, in a month or so we will know for sure, but from a literary sense it has been setup from at least the Champa arc and possibly even going back to the Golden Frieza arc. I posited for this setup to be true, there would need to be mention that Frieza's resurrection only occured while Vegeta and Goku were off training with Whis and low and behold that is what happened in the last manga chapter. There was no need to rehash or emphasize that point specifically unless it has plot relevance later on in the resolution. Anyway, there's no point because Super is ending shortly with some resolution at play. The short resolution time seems to imply an outcome we the audience would already be familiar with.
