Late 199/early 2000, I was hearing quite vague rumors, like there were characters called Trunks and Cell, and Vegeta had a son. Consequently, my conclusions were that these were three separate characters who would all be villains, Vegeta just kinda came back from space with a son somehow, and Cell was the only one that really mattered, being some manner of final boss.
I favored using Dragonball X as the title for my fanfiction, until I googled it (or Yahoo!ed... I think that's what we were using at the time...). I was around 13/14 at said time, but honestly the never-ending pile of alert boxes in Spanish and me having to ctrl alt del to escape made the only real clue as to what I'd narrowly avoided being the word "pornigraphico" in one of those alerts.
I like UB22 enough that, after my ps1 that could handle imports stopped working, I went for the US version. Even with my vision crappy, I was well aware of the horrible quality of the graphis, but really, watching Recoome's out-of-sync mouthflaps was hilarious enough to make up for it.
My first copy of Legends for the PS1 came with a slip of paper that declared "this is not a bootleg". Considering that it tended to freeze during the intro and none of the menu/story BGM played, and it eventually just started freezing all the time, I am not convinced that yon slip of paper was being particularly honest with me.
I think I wound up with two copies of the Saturn version, though, which do not appear to be bootlegs. Whew.
I like Bulma and the crab, and kinda wish it wasn't filler on the grounds that Bulma weaponizing giant crabs has potential in areas that tend to disregard filler.
Oh, and Space Orphans / Fake Namek. I like those, too.
Gohan/Goten/Trunks being left on Earth as Kid Buu blows it up is something I am willing to grasp at straws to make non-lethal. Piccolo retaining some Kami power and coming to enough to BAMF them to the afterlife? Chaozu hijacking Popo's magic carpet and magicking them into space, protected by a telekinetic bubble until the Earth is restored? The blast ripping a hole in reality that sends them into Emperor Palpatine's throne room? All fine by me!
