This is a "Wild Mass Guess" entry, where we pull out all the sanity stops on theorizing. The regular entry on this topic is elsewhere. Please see this programme note.

Asterix

The ship taking Convolvulus to Rome never made it.

Convolvulus' discord-sowing went horribly right, and in the ensuing chaos the ship was either damaged or caught in a storm, and went down with all hands, including Convolvulus.

Dubbelosix's specialty was a life-prolongation/eternal youth potion.

Unfortunately, it only works on houseflies.

The brew they drink regularly for strength in battle may have basis in truth.

Swedish professor Samuel �dman suspected the Berserkergang rage of ancient nordic warriors was achieved with the help of brews created by Siberian shamans using Amanita muscaria mushrooms whose active ingredient is Muscimol.
- These are large mushrooms with red caps and white spots on the caps, very similar to the ones which give Mario his more powerful form as well.

Getafix secretly wants the Gauls to be part of Roman Empire

Note also that both Gauls and the Romans use the normal font, and Asterix and Obelix never have any problems with understanding Romans. They speak Latin. It reaches its peak when they outright admit in the Olympic Games that they're Romans. They benefit from a lot of Roman infrastructure (roads, bridges, entertainment). Many Gauls claim that Ceasar is actually the greatest leader of their age - see the Laurel Wreath for instance. The only reason why Getafix uses the magic potion is to keep Cesar in check.

Ast�rix and Son was going to be the series finale.

You can't get any more closure than Caesar and the Gauls sharing the banquet.

The finale will be Ast�rix and the Ides of March.

Getafix is the soothsayer.
