#i think the only “weird” part with krillin in the eyes of galactic society would be that he married her

I mean, that Terran is the boogeywoman of the entire Kree Empire, but I suppose it's the principle of the thing... ok, so now I'm just curious about what's up with the rest of the db villains. Does Buu exist? Is Cell some secret project from the people who mailed Krillin his wife? Whatever happened to Demon King Piccolo? Actually, just checked, he was mentioned in the Kefla story, so better question: what was their story?

That, and I do think the Frieza clan is just that arrogant. I'd like to write the confrontation between Frieza and Carol sometime, but you can bet he was just as confident about beating her as he was with Goku (until it became clear that he couldn't, and even then his pride is just way too powerful to let him surrender)

Most of DB's story is relatively unchanged, just streamlined, reduced in scope, and shifted over to have mostly happened on Xandar. Given how much of it touches on magic or some form of non-mundane elements, many of the events are unknown or were differently perceived by the general public, same as it's happened on Earth with stuff like the second Titanomachy - as a much more advanced world than ours, Xandar's magical side is much reduced, but it definitely still exists. Most Xandarians don't know that the Dragon Balls or the wish-granting Dragon God Shenron exist, for example, but Piccolo Sr.'s rampage and attempted takeover would've been A Whole Thing (TM).

As to the specific examples you mention: Buu is a figure in Saiyan mythology (but may have existed in the distant past), Cell is [REDACTED] (sorry), and Demon King Piccolo was slain by Goku.

(It's handwavy, I admit, because I'm mostly interested in the characters and where they're at circa the events of the fic I wrote, and their participation on wider scale event afterwards)
