I mean he attacks super buu to try and save his family....but that might be more evil filler

E: he also shows up to all the movies

I'm biased because the 22nd World Tournament was great and Krillin never really got a fight like that

yea idk if that's filler or not so I ignored it. I wouldn't have brought up the imperfect cell thing if I didn't have perfect cell to fall back on

I get that tien cam be pretty cool but lol if you think that any human will get a power up, or that it wouldn't be krillin if I'm wrong.


Krillin is the strongest human

I'm amazed that people don't get how training works in DB

It works if your name is Goku and Vegeta, works marginally well if your name is Piccolo and for everyone else you're gonna do gently caress all.

You'll be the strongest in the universe if your name is Gohan but you'll still do gently caress all.

the only times tien has won are by technicality (goku) and against yamcha (doesn't count)

Krillin and Tien, doing completely average training, got strong enough that they at least would have been in the top 10 strongest people in the universe. It works great for them, they just keep ending up against crazy rear end people.

Krillin is my favorite DBZ character and I literally just figured out yesterday why he showed up so much more than Tien etc. across the course of the series

His head is a smiley face with eyebrows and he probably took Toriyama 15 seconds to draw

I'll always remember when Nappa and Vegeta talk about how strong the Saibamen are and Krillin just destroys a bunch of them. He's the only character other than Piccolo or Gohan who's training actually paid off in that arc.

Tien was probably about as strong as Krillin, he just died before Goku could get there to clean up Nappa

I'd argue that yamcha died to one, but on the other hand it's yamcha so it doesn't count

Yes hello it is I Kurt's Secret Son


Krillin has a wife, a child, and a day job.

Tien has shoulders like boulders, eyes that hypnotize, and a lil buddy who's a telekinetic clown.

The advantage is obvious

That's even better because then it only works on Yamcha

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

more importantly, why didn't they have a fusion for Krillin and Tien in DB Fusions? its such a no-brainer, the two bald human dudes. you can have all of krillin's head dots replaced with eyes. it would own

That right there is why Tien is superior.

Solar Flare was his move and literally everyone, literally EVERYONE, has stolen and used it to great effect. I don't think any move has as high a success rating.

tien's tri beam is basically that rock breaking move from ranma 1/2 where it's actually an excavation tool and nobody bothered to tell the guy it doesn't work on people

it has a 0% success rate in fights. goku doesn't want to stall some idiot for 5 minutes; goku wants to win the fight
