Again, I have to disagree. You call them fan theories. That's a wrong and biased description. It's from sourced material - again. You just believe you can dismiss it because of your interpretation. If I said "Let's completely ignore what's stated in the manga and go by the original timeline", that would be unreasonable. A compromise was effectively the best thing to do. The very fact we are talking about it proves there is a cnflict - and if you refuse to admit it and keep repeating that's just based on fan speculation, well, you are both contradicting yourself (you did acknowledge something was off when you spoke about a retcon) and unfairly selective. Again, nobody is rejecting Gon was 12 during the Election arc (and I'll say that again: in no way that allows us to assume he is still 12 after exactly one year, or that Killua's age has been retconned with his, for example), but refusing to accept there IS an official timeline is just turning a blind eye to canon material.
