So yeah, adding things in blank parts of the story without affecting the story isn't the definition of retcon, at least from what I know.

Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Nothing happened during that time, Salagir added shit in it, thus altering established facts. Also, Coola, Broli, Bojack, etc do not appear in the manga, are not part of the manga, they do not exist in that timeline, but Salagir adds them in, thus altering established facts.

No, he didn't alter established facts, because nothing contradicts Coola's, Broli's, etc existence in the manga. He didn't alter anything, he added. And there is nothing wrong with that, because it's his fan-manga.

Again, there wouldn't be if he didn't make the claims he makes, implying his doujinshi is superior to GT. By adding stuff that does not fit in the original manga, he is ret-coning it. Also you can't say that it doesn't contradict, the only story we know about Coola and Broli are the ones in the movies, which contradict with the normal continuity of either the manga or anime, by adding them, Salagir is contradicting with the manga.

Lets recap;
The movies featuring Broli and Coola contradict with the manga, by adding them you have to force the contradictions, thus opening plot-holes.
The natural course of the timeline, as done by the original author, does not feature Coola or Broli, they do not exist in the manga.
By adding them you are ret-conning the manga. That's what ret-con means. You are altering the established events.
Salagir seems to imply his doujinshi is purer than GT, yet he does things like this, he contradicts not only the original manga but he goes against pre-established facts about the characters, like the overpowering of Broli and Cold.

And that's the way the cookie crumbles, whether you like it or not!

Which is why he's saying that different versions of those movies took place. Hell, in Broli's case, he even showed that 'different version' in one of the specials.

Also, Cooler's movie contradicts nothing and is actually listed as part of the timeline in the Daizenshuu. Broly's does, but Salagir just loves Broly.

But Goku can't control Super Saiyan at will and didn't learn Shunkan Ido. Also I think it's part of the anime timeline (which i think includes movie 1 which definitely can't fit).

Nothing says Goku can't control Super Saiyan except a subjective interpretation. It was probably just PIS like in every movie and Toei base fight. So, no contradiction.

And no, "but it looked like his transformation against Freeza!" isn't evidence, just an interpretation.

Also, Goku references having been to Yardrat in Movie 6, so there's no reason to think that he didn't do it before Movie 5. This would further support it being PIS.

Doesn't seem like he can control it. But It's my interpretation. Goku doesn't seem to know Shunkan Ido as well. He brings it up only in movie 6 as if it was new technique he didn't have before.

Exactly. It being in the timeline contradicts your interpretation, but nothing in the series itself.

The Daiz also makes it seem like he couldn't go Super Saiyan by himself. And Goku brings up Shunkan Ido as if he never had it last time. If this fit perfectly then he shouldn't have to mention Shunkan Ido.

The Cooler movie also comes out before Shunkan Ido even existed or it was known Goku could control SSJ. Unless there was a behind the scenes tip or something.

Again, just your intrepretation. Also, the Daiz isn't the movie... and if you're using that, you'd also have to go with the much more blunt thing it says about Movie 5: that it took place during the android arc training.

The Daiz places most of the movies in places where they can't work. I treat movie 5 as an alternate timeline kinda like how the anime included Garlic jr even though he can't fit.

I find it odd that he used the world "Trolled". I never thought to see a Internet term used something DB related.

ditto. i liked what he had going, and would have thought that absorbing a huge part of his universe would at least make him more composed, but nope, standard angry villain rant.

well he'll get disqualified for smacking west kaioshin, so if he's going to pull something, it's going to be right now. incredibly dissapointing, as i wanted to see him advance further.

edit: oh shit, he didn't just smack her, he punched her full force, and she's bleeding in the last panel. no way she survived that.
