Retcon any part of any franchise to get the most impact

Title. You can decide that it was a dream, an illusion, or something else to make all the plot and characters in it invalid. for instance, making everything but Digimon Tamers in-universe fiction, thus getting rid of most of the hax and most of the cosmology. The main point of this thread is trying to get the most impact possible out of such a thing.
 
Retconning Black saga to remove Low 2-C for most characters
You monster. Absolutely beautiful.

ANYWAY, retcon Persona 3 through 5, as well as any spinoffs of that into being in-universe fiction

Megami Tensei loses a shitton of hax
 
Retcon the void with Azathoth and shiz to be a fever dream this one guy had and not have it be real after he wakes up at a hospital

Make the entire otherworldly plot of Twin Peaks be the main character trippin on drugs he found in the train where the fire walk with me message was, instead it says "fire hit the line with me"
 
Retcon DBZ as a video game with a skybox with all the destruction being septillion times smaller than it actually is
 
Retcon the Monogatari series with it ending up as Araragi's wet dream where he wakes up, goes up to his computer, turns on 4chan and makes a ">be me, >have dream about hot anime girls, >bit freaky but it's okay, >guy named Meme gives me vampire loli, >i suffer by getting my insides ripped out, >mfw" post
 
Negative impact?

retcon Naruto so that Kaguya gets replaced by another villain who absolutely no-diffs Team 7 and Sakura saves them by beating the enemy but just before the enemy dies it kills both Naruto and Sasuke.

Just impact in general Idk
 
Retcon Pesterquest, and the Homestuck characters stop being 1-A and Low 1-A, and MSPA Reader goes from the strongest character in the verse, to becoming the weakest in the verse.
 
Bardock did not actually die at the hands of Frieza. Instead, Whis went back in time and rescued him so that he could meet Goku in the present and help him completely master Ultra Instinct against Gas.
 
Azathoth was a human having a nightmare about how his species is completely inconsequential from the perspective of a godlike being among godlike beings
 
Retcon the Monster Association Arc at the surface fight and onward in the One Punch Man manga so that it more closely follows the webcomic.

**** scaling and tiers, I just want Awakened Garou to be intimidating again.
 
Any verse with higher levels of existence: Reveal that there is another, yet higher, level of existence. However, that level of existence is something like regular human dreams so that it is simultaneously a lower level of existence. As it turns out there is no hierarchy of higher levels of existence, but instead a circle of levels of existence. Hence it's shown that human can in practice oneshot the Tier 1 beings as easily as the Tier 1 beings were believed to oneshot humans.

So a weird ass rock paper scisors

Yes.
Honestly, I hope we get a franchise that consistently has a cosmology like that at some point. I just wonder how the heck we would tier it.
 
retcon the real world so dimensions actually work how vsbattles tiers describe them and our universe is 4-dimensional because time exists and time is the 4th dimension
 
Everything in pokemon was just ash dreaming after he went into coma by the spearow attack, nothing like arcues, ho-ho, ct or lake trio exists. Everything was a dream and they should be downgraded to athlete level at best.
