The Potara’s New Rules rewrite Dragon Ball canon
Is potara fusion permanent for mortals or not?
Dragon Ball Super Trying to explain the reason why Vegito’s fusion isn’t permanent, Gowasu explains that only Kais stay forever fused after using the earrings. For mortals, the fusion lasts only an hour or lessdepending on the power of the fused warrior. This explanation then gives the reason for Vegito’s second diffusion during the Goku Black Arc, effectively tying up the loose ends of mortal potara use.
