I mean, after FighterZ I sorta want him to turn good and fuck Yamcha.

Maybe that's just me.

Frieza and Goku had a genuine teamwork moment. It'd be mean to ruin that by killing him again.

Seriously, Frieza being okay with Goku using him in a fastball special still is amazing to me.

WHY IS KRILLIN A COP INSTEAD OF THE CHARACTER THAT WANTED TO BE A POLICE DETECTIVE ARGH!

Krillin is a beat cop, not a detective.

Like Krillin mostly gives out speeding tickets, helps kids cross the street,etc.

Any kind of cop is contrary to every aspect of Krillin up to then!

Well, I mean from an in-story perspective it makes sense to let Freeza go and it would make the heroes look bad for going back on their word, but it still raises eyebrows. He literally tells them he's gonna continue being evil and Goku goes "hey that's cool I'll just kick your ass again someday". Kinda makes him look like a dick who doesn't care about anyone Freeza is very likely to murder in the meanwhile. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind Goku being a self-centered dick. I like it. I just think it's kinda amusing that just no one who's important cares.

[up][up] But he is Krillin, everyone's friend.

About Freeza, all he did in the TOP was pragmatism. There was never a friendship formed between him and Goku.

Maybe Krillin could work in a soup kitchen, or, y'know, start teaching martial arts.

[up][up] Because Yamcha and Freeza have a hilarious dynamic complimenting each other, and Freeza calling Yamcha handsome.

Its a pretty good job for an unambitious martial artist really.

It be real easy to get promotions.

[up] Krillen has no interest in teaching people & even then working in a soup kitchen doesn't pay the bills.

@lara I can buy them honouring the agreement after the TOP. Since they know he can be relied on when the stakes affecting both are high enough, they might even need his strength in the future.

But Goku even warned him not to come after him again. If he does so despite the warning, then Goku needs to kill him.

It probably wouldn't pay all that well either.

Krillen has no interest in teaching people.

Just like most characters in DB.

Every single teacher lived far away from people and only helped Goku when he came to them.

All the Z Warriors have the skill to start teaching, but make no attempt to do so.

So, I wonder... if Cell was the one recruited for the Tournament of Power instead, how would all that go down?

I think Krillin became a cop because the general assumption is that it's a noble job that good guys take because they want to protect people. In practice it doesn't tend to work that way. Poor guy. You'd think someone with abilities could have a more useful job.

The animators would get mad having to draw all his spots.

EDIT: I mean, realistically, with Instant Transmission, Goku could be the single best taxi service on Earth.

If you want to talk about uses for their abilities.

Mundane, sure, but hella useful.

I'm pretty sure he would try to gobble up 17 and 18, if that is still an option.

And murder the fuck out of Gohan. That would be his first priority.

I feel he is a lot more unstable and unreliable than Freeza.

I feel Krillen mostly became a cop simply because it would have have been a cushy job for someone who is practically still superhuman.

Guy’s got his own house now. It clearly pays well.

Why would he need 17 and 18 if he's still Super Perfect.

#88296: Oct 16th 2018 at 6:17:31 PM

Cell would probably look at the normal boring life Gohan has and think killing him would be a mercy. Also he'd quietly angst that a guy like that managed to beat him.

[up] To get Super Super Super Perfect?

Freeza would very much use a Loophole Abuse. If he just happened to let it slip that the son of the King who exiled Paragus and Broly was on Earth and they go to attack on their own. He can just call bullshit and say "Hey, I didn't tell them to attack"

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.

Cell would give Gohan shit, for sure.

Also, Frieza saying he's going to go and do more bad things isn't necessarily a sign he will. Look at Piccolo Jr.! There was a chance he'd just mellow out.
