Doesn't matter. It still had exposure is what I'm saying, which is why I said it never went away. Dragon Ball/Z/GT have been constantly rerun for years, bringing in new fans. Kids, young ones, know who Goku is, probably because they watched it on TV. As for Kai, the story wasn't new. It was a remake of Z for its 20th anniversary, so of course it counts (story wise). It's like Sailor Moon Crystal. Same thing. Since both series had anniversaries, they got remakes. The manga for both are finished this time around and are sticking closer to the source material and condensing them. For all we know, the ending of Kai may lead into Super.

In comparison, Dragon Ball Super is a legit new Dragon Ball series. New original story and plot.
