Which brings me to my next point - why aren't Beerus and Whis training up all of the Z fighters in anticipation of this tournament?

itd be a huge waste of time. the gap between say krillin and goku is so unimagineably vast at this point that spending time on them is pointless. goku in base form is leagues stronger than final form frieza who while krillin is weaker than even first stage frieza

it doesn't have to be that way though

training can magically excuse a lot of bullshit

like would anyone really complain if krillin or piccolo or tien went through an intense year or two of off-screen training and significantly closed the gap between him and goku

it would only be good

On the other hand, Piccolo was able to take on Frost. Sure they wouldn't be able to take on the biggest of bads but they might as well pump up their guys to take the smaller threats.

There are a million things they could do to make the humans relevant again! I am super curious about what's happening on Universe 6's recently revived Earth - huge potential for Earthling power boosts there, or at least a fun throwaway episode about defeating an evil bizarro Krillin.

I think it's implied that U6's Earth was our Earth, given that it was totally nuked to poo poo.

Just have him wish back King Piccolo and have them fuse into a Full Power 100% Super Duper Namekian that can fight on par with Beerus.

krillin and the rest of the humans arent dedicated enough to get close. if they couldnt scrape goku-pre-SS power by this pt they'd never handle god ki. however picollo is fair to catch up

At one of these tournaments, I want Piccolo to take a moment mid-fight, claim he's attained a new form, but not look any different. Then instant-bean-cannon someone's arm off. No explanation.

Gohan, Tien, and Piccolo i think everyone could pretty easily buy catching up to at least base-form goku and vegeta and maybe more if they bust out some cool tricks

Krillin is a slightly harder sell but i think as long as he doesn't outpace Piccolo and Gohan he seems reasonable

everyone else is just kind of whatever. like Buu is theoretically up there already but he doesnt do poo poo (this might change soon), androids 17 and 18 cant increase their power level i think? and theres no way roshi or yamcha is going to care enough to try and seriously catch up

if they did a timeskip for a slightly older Goten and Trunks then those two could probably be actual contenders and train with their dads and stuff. and you'd get a more useful Gotenks which would be cool

I could buy krillin getting a powerup before I could tien tbh; at least krillin is around

wouldn't buy any of them actually catching up tho. goku left his human friends in the dust when he was 15 years old

Pretty sure Krillin had a fairly lengthy subplot post-Namek which involved him marrying one of the arc villains.

Piccolo should go to new namek and absorb/sync with everyone there individually. Since he seems to get about an order of magnitude stronger every fusion and there were hundreds of nameks, this will help

krillin was there for cell and buu, idk what you're talking about there. tien's character arc in z:

die to the saiyans
dig a hole for cell

he died to buu as well but I don't think he was on screen for that? can't remember if he was on the lookout with the others

Tien was an afterthought post-Saiyan saga. People just pretend he's still cool because he stalled Cell for five minutes. That's it. That's all it is. Chaotzu is the bottom of the barrel, Yamcha's corpse barely above him, Tien a few notches higher, with Krilldawg standin short just below Piccolo.



Krillin has always been relevant, and if you can't understand that you're just doody.

Krillin is on the level of Vegeta in terms of making things worse, so he had a bigger impact on the arc than Tien did.

Tien shows up to deflect a Buutenks ki blast at Dende and Mr. Satan, tries to TrI Beam him, and then Buu's lower half cold-cocks him. Goku briefly considers fusing with him after Gohan is absorbed.

Krillin never tries to take Cell or Buu head-on :colbert:

krillin does fight cell but gets no sold. he also fights freeza and vegeta, so tien fighting one guy he didn't isn't really saying much

I don't remember if krillin fighting first stage imperfect cell is filler or not but eh
