When I first heard Kai, I thought it's about Kaio.
When I first heard about Kai, I thought it was a new series after GT, or maybe even a remake. :(

When I first heard about Kai, I thought it wasn't going to be a lazy cash-in. :P

I know it's not true but thats like the biggest thing to ever come from Japan to me[aside from amazing technology]

On Kai; I would hope he atleast watched an episode or two. Isn't this the first time a show has been re-done like this?
Dragon Ball wasn't exactly a one hit wonder... Dr. Slump was extremely popular in Japan, too.
