“Within my head is a small mass. That’s what makes up my nucleus. As long as that mass isn’t destroyed, my body can still regenerate."
10 chapters earlier: (Cell's top half gets destroyed by Goku.) [Goku] "Oh yeah, you can regenerate..." [Cell] "Of course, just like Piccolo!"
Basically, that's the only mistake I have an issue with that I can think of, and one that you can objectively say "this is an in-universe mistake". Specially, because he got that ability from Piccolo, and an arc later, Big Green says that he can regenerate himself as long as his head is ok. One has to assume his small mass moves on its own to ensure survival, something namekians cannot do, so somehow he perfected his regen ability. Thing is this explanation came out of my butt, not Toriyama's.
That, and Dende's Shenron being inconsistent with the amount of wishes he can grant. DBZKakarot went out of its way to explain this, IIRC.

Toriyama has always ignored anything he didn't personally write (and sometimes things he did write!) so I don't know why GT would be different.
Way back in at least the early 2000s (and probably since 97) the general consensus was always Toriyama didn't write GT ergo its non-canon so I don't know why in 2015 onwards fans are blindsighted by Toriyama ignoring GT
Agreed. It was never Toriyama content, once I heard BoG was on its way, I knew GT would be contradicted. I mean, the story picked up after Buu and before the 10 year hiatus, of course GT was losing its connection to the main continuity.
DBS is sorta his "GT", after all.
Besides, it's not like he discarded it completely, he placed GT as an alternate continuity or something like that.
