What it concludes

A retcon by itself is neither good nor bad; it is a narrative technique that creates drama when used thoughtfully and frustration when handled poorly.
Many early Dragon Ball reveals, such as Goku's tail weakness or Oozaru transformation, were not retcons but reveals built upon previously established rules.
Toriyama frequently used retroactive continuity to alter the audience's understanding of past events, such as changing Goku's heritage from innate trait to racial trait.
Some retcons in Dragon Ball are harmless or even comedic, while others create timeline contradictions or unnecessary narrative restrictions.
