Well, I'll give Krillin this.

Charging Broly took some balls. The fact that he's still alive after that says enough about him.

Krillin wasn't originally part of this; I was trying to give Yamcha some cred, and somebody mentioned that Yamcha didn't beat Goku while Krillin did, then I spun it into "Yamcha did this, Krillin did that".

Yamcha's a nice enough guy, he's just not on the level of any other character in the series.

I'm reasonably certain he could take Mr. Satan in a fight. I stake decent odds on it.

I think that he at least got stronger than the Ginyu Force, bar the cap'n himself. He's possibly much stronger than that as well, maybe even surpassing a couple of Freeza's forms, but the only thing that support that are a few light implications around the time of the androids, and since he has no feats, it's hard to tell.

Also, Krillin saving that girl from Cell was filler. If you count that, you'd also have to count Yamcha's fight with Recoome... then again, that would still be a net gain for Krillin in this pissing contest...

And yeah, Krillin's one of my favorite characters on part of his gigantic titanium balls. I have no idea how he drags those things around.

I said "maybe". It all comes from a few ambiguous lines in the android arc.

I highly doubt Krillin ever exceeded 100,000, or even came close. He's probably weaker than the Ginyu Force save Guldo.

Well he did get stronger between the Freeza Saga and the Android Saga.

I'd like to put him at Recoome's level of power by then.

Recoome, Guldo, Burter and Jeice all had a power level below 60, 000, but above Vegeta's 30,000.

It is conceivable that Krillin ended up stronger than them.

His official level after fighting the Ginyus but before fighting Freeza is 75,000. I like to think that power up kept affecting him even after that.

How is that possible?

Vegeta was around a power level of 30,000 when he fought Recoome?

And Krillin was even weaker than that. So how'd he jump 60, 000 points in the course of a single fight? Unless you're going to tell me that Krillin is also half-saiyan.

The Elder's hidden power power up had a delayed effect. Same thing happened with Gohan; Vegeta stated that Gohan and Krillin were still rising massively in power at the beginning of the Freeza fight.

V-Jump gives us the following levels for Krillin on Namek:

Arrival- ~1,770

First getting power up- 13,000

Fighting Ginyu-Goku- >23,000

Before fighting Freeza- 75,000

No official number exists for his power level beyond that point.

So yeah. If Krillin had waited a few minutes (or was it hours?) before fighting Recoome, he'd have made mincemeat of the entire Ginyu Force bar the cap'n tongue

To be fair, by the end, Frieza was pretty much outclassed. There's no reason for EoS Krillin to be at least equal in power to Frieza.

lolno.

I was talking about a couple of Freeza's forms. There's no way any human ever came close to even a tenth of Freeza's true power. Except that filler character Olibu, I guess. But 50% Freeza still crushes Olibu.

What do you guys think of this article?? I personally, disagree with Goku and Gohan being listed as bad role models. I think out of the two, Gohan is the better role model.

The only thing I get out of this is "violence is bad m'kaaaaay?" and that Goku and Gohan seem really out of place there.

But without fighting, how will the universe be saved? Sure violence is bad, but for the sake of the universe, it's a requirement.

That's why her example is stupid.

If anything Goku is a bad role model because he risks all life on earth for the sake of a good fight and is barely there for his family. (he has good reasons for the latter, but still)

As opposed to Chi Chi who is a good role model realizing how Gohan needs to study near-constantly instead of saving the universe.

[up] 'cause Goku would eat all the food pissing everyone at the table off restarting hostilities.tongue

[up][up][up]I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be a joke. The problem is that it doesn't come off as funny, just annoying and stupid.

Anyway, can't Goku just party with the big bads? I mean we heard that Frieza was great on the dance floor.
