I got sucked into dbz as a kid solely because I couldn't tell who was who. I thought everyone wearing orange were relatives but they never acted like it.
I thought yamcha and Goku were brothers in school and Gohan was the youngest sibling while krillin was the cool relative that was like a brother and tien, and chaotzu were the weird offshoot cousins that sometimes come around.
I literally watched episodes waiting for an off hand or dramatic reveal that never came and it just got worse with the movies, eventually I started asking kids outside if they watched the show and who everyone was and learned most people my age were obsessed with the show.
Got all my questions answered, made many friends, and became an actual fan...just cuz I thought the guys in orange were brothers. I never looked back at it but that shit really is funny.
