And Obelisc'h and Haddock as well.

Whether he knew the recipe of the original potion or not, Champignac managed to recreate it as a product you inject instead of drinking it, albeit with chemical ingredients instead.

* It's possible, due to the [[HairTriggerTemper temperament]], that Vitalstatistix is also Haddock ancestor.

We never see him train a successor or pass on the secret of the potion to another druid (and considering he's pretty old already, there probably isn't a lot of time left for him to do so). Keep in mind that, if the supply of magic potion was maintained indefinitely, the villagers would be able to maintain their independence not only against the Romans, but against the other waves of invaders that will be showing up in a few centuries (the Bretons, the Franks, the English a couple of times...) at least until the introduction of artillery to western Europe, by which time they'd surely have left a notable mark on history.

In Ferri and Conrad's defense, they couldn't exactly read the future.

* Quaestor Sinisitus, who was aided by the Gauls in saving his life and spent time in their village.

...who [[TakeThat inherited the same level of talent]].

...but [[ForegoneConclusion by the time they tracked down where he was held, he'd already been taken to Rome for Caesar to parade, following which Caesar had him put to death]].

They needed to get out of the pyramid fast so Getafix pretended to Obelix that some random juice was magic potion so he wouldn't make them lose time by insisting to drink some as always. It's obvious that Obelix would not need any supplement to be able to destroy a stone door.

* China would make more sense than Japan as the Han Dynasty was the dominate far east Asian civilization during the time period of the late Roman Republic, and many of china cultural aspects had their origins during the Han Dynasty so logically an adventure in China should be as East as Asterix and Obelix should go as Han era China would still be easily recognizable to modern day audience as Chinese, while Yayoi Japan would be completely unrecognizable as Japanese

Caesar was told the Gauls had taken part to the Olympic Games as Romans... And recognized their claim, thus making them Roman citizens. Upon being informed he had accidentally surrendered, Vitalstatix, to not be less than Caesar whenever ''he'' had lost to them, decided to not stage a "rebellion" but to [[GracefulLoser peacefully accepting the new situation]]... On certain conditions, that Caesar was all too happy to grant-

** Japan during 50 BC was still in the midst of the Yayoi period would be vastly different to what many modern people would be able to recognise as Japanese.
