In case noone reads the comments below on the comics

Hi everyone.
Sorry for the long text, but I wanted to explain a few things about potala-fusion.
Gokû's explanation regarding the de-fusion of Vegetto inside Buu never convinced me. The real reason is actually never told and we all understand it was merely a trick from Toriyama to separate Vegetto.
I’ve invented a reason, and this will be DBM-canon. Before carrying on, here is some more informations about what I invented about the Kaiô Shins.
Have you never wondered why those guys wear the incredibly powerful and dangerous Potalas around? It’s the treasure of the Kaio Shins, the old one said. And, of course, as East Kaio Shin was too young, he didn’t know about them.
So I've decided they were invented by and for the Kaio Shins. They would work only if one of the user was a Kaio Shin, and he would use it to gain abilities from another person. It’s not an equal fusion : the old Kaiô Shin used 'I' when he spoke of the younger Kaio Shin and 'she' when he spoke of the old witch. Same goes for Kibitoshin, he spoke of Kibito as another person. Contrary to the dance-fusion, the Potalas allows one Kaio Shin to “absorb” another being!
(Of course I’m only interpreting a few sentences, but I decided this to be official in DBM).
This means that someone who steals the Potalas won’t be able to use them.
This also means that old Kaiô Shin modified the Potalas he gave to Gokû. Of course, this isn’t told in the manga, and clearly he didn’t take the time to explain, but please bear with me here and accept that he did modify the potalas in a second because it was easy for him, and he didn’t talk about the details.
This whole theory could even work without this “Kaiô Shin only” rule, but it will help reducing the number of fused people around and also explain why it feels like the Kaiô Shin doesn’t treat the other fused person as an equal.
As Gokû isn’t a Kaiô Shin, an “upper” being, the resulting being considers Vegeta an equal, so it’s like a dance-fusion : a new being, not simply a better Kaiô Shin.
Remember that the Kaiô Shins are very arrogant, and don’t think much of the “lower” beings. Also keep in mind that the old Kaiô Shin enforces lots of rules, he is very strict about them (although he understand the whole universe is in danger and that’s why he agrees to create Vegetto and to use the Dragon Balls).
This takes us to the inside of Buu. It now fits perfectly.
Kaiô Shins' essences are in Buu. Vegetto is “illegally” using a Kaiô Shin device.
They act on it and “split” Vegetto.
I like that they don't like Vegetto's existence. That's actually really clever to have the almighty gods think of him as sort of an abomination but is completely overshadowed by pushing so much extra bull into it. Like other people said we've gone over the Majin cancels out Potara theory and it seems to be the well accepted thing. I wouldn't mind a different alternative but this "Kaioshin changed the earrings for them to wear" is horrifying when they get offered the second set of earrings too do they just stare at them an authorize it? And in the same case what of the Elder Kai? I don't think he appreciated being fused with that witch. The tradeoffs with the magic would maybe have him be kept around but something that important would not be just overlooked and never mentioned in the series. Their essence in Buu de-authorizing the fusion is cringe-worthy to me. Broly can be OP as hell I just treat him like a different character, but I cant really see the fundamentals of how the Potaras work be changed. It's his fanfic though so he can write whatever he wants. Goku can get a Potala, fuse with another Goku and be turned into a blue dragon because, because.
So hopefully he doesn't do anything more that would make the series more unattractive. With the artist swap I was still content with the art and stayed for the story. I was already upset about
how kirllin lost, not that he lost. I considered it to be an actual main fight but with they way it ended it seemed like a filler fight, which had a break by other multiverse explanation filler. So Id rather not have filler, filler fight, a very bold change in how potara works and then filler after this scene is over. It means I should just not visit the site for 3 months and
maybe I'll be able to have a read.
Can't see their conversation with Old Kai going well either.
. Great art
