Toriyama only came up with Potara fusion in the first place because Fusion Reborn beat him to the punch with fusing Goku and Vegeta via the dance.
And they were never clear on why Potara is "superior" anyway. It's basically a difference without any real distinction.

It's better because rivals...
That's the only reason...and it was a fake reason.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I honestly want to know why Toei decided to beat Toriyama to the punch with Fusion (and to a lesser extent Super Saiyan). You'd think they'd want to wait for him to do it so they could get a better idea of what it's supposed to look like.
Did he give them an estimate for when it was going to happen and then he took longer than they expected or something?
One Strip! One Strip!
I mean, they probably didn't know that Toriyama was planning to have the two fuse. Since the movies are basically reskinned versions of the arcs, they probably went with having the Saiyan fusion go fight against Janemba just like Gotenks did against Buu.
And they were never clear on why Potara is "superior" anyway. It's basically a difference without any real distinction.
The rather arbitrary way they defused after they got absorbed by Buu kind of shows that.

Recently on a Reddit AMA
◊, Schemmel made a hardline stance that his accented Rose!Black voicenote is here to stay for the foreseeable future.
His headcanon reasoning is that, while his Black voice is just "mean Goku", his Rose!Black voice complements Zamasu's VA's performance by having "Zamasu's power/spirit channeling through Black more".
He's also working off limited data
◊ (again?), hence his interpretation.

I'm still reserving judgement to see what direction they go with Base!Zamasu's voice. Sean said later down the thread chain that the direction he was given was to match Zamasu's VA, so if his VA voicing with a similar inflection I at least get it.
I will say, I did find some reactions on another forum kind of hilarious. People going on about how now people are going to hit the arc because of the voice direction and I'm sitting back thinking "you're basically admitting that the only good thing about Goku Black arc was Nozawa's voice acting then, right?"

Partial title for episode 127.
Of note is that the word used is 'baria', which isn't used for metaphysical barriers. It applies almost exclusively to literal force fields. Looks like 17 is going out here. Honestly, he lasted WAY longer than I thought he would. I thought 17 would go out in Episode 121, against Anilaza.
Spoilers for episode 126.
Freeza and 17 team up on Toppo and lose. Toppo and Jiren TEAM UP ON VEGETA?!?!
I get that Toriyama went back on making Gohan the main character because he decided that Goku was better for the role, but has he ever mentioned why he decided that?
Personally, I don't think you'd even need to cut Goku completely out of the series either like other people wanted, just change things up so that Gohan or Gohan and the boys beat Buu instead. I mean, if at some point he was going for a "we can't always rely on Goku" story, it would have been nice to see that all the way through.
Well, either Goku's out of the story or Goku loses a fight to a guy he never eventually beats; it would require Goku to worf, essentially. I'm not sure Toriyama knew how to write Goku being the second fiddle, and I'm not sure I would either.
"And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"If they replaced all instances of Gohan in the Buu arc with the Great Saiyaman, it would be perfect.
This song needs more love.I think I remember hearing that he doesn’t want to have Hard Work Hardly Works. Goku spent all of his time training to get better, while Gohan was able to cruise along on his potential for the most part.

To be fair, Vegito and Gogeta are different fusions, due to the former being a superior Potara fusion. But still, yeah.
