At any rate a happy marriage and a loving daughter would make his life seem less pathetic.

It'd be really shallow of the other characters to abruptly alter their behavior towards Krillin because he married 18.
I was more thinking along the lines of Yamcha and/or Roshi lamenting that they can't make fun of Krillin anywhere near the way they did in the "good old days". Probably because they learned that his wife does not appreciate anyone picking on him like that, and is very physical in expressing said non-appreciation (there is that canon scene of her pulverizing Roshi for copping a feel on her that one time, right?).

[up] Exactly. Thus I expect at one or two scenes where Yamcha expresses envy towards him for finally getting together with a woman, while he himself is still single, and wondering what Krillin has that he doesn't (because let's be honest, Yamcha is a lot closer to the stereotypical image of a ruggedly handsome man).

What is? And like [up], why should TFS care when they're already trying to fit in non-canon fillers, movies and special episodes?

Like, the most noteworthy thing he does in the Buu arc is get taken out by Dabura's bodily fluids. If that's not a Krillin Owned, I don't know what is.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Are you forgetting about this?

At any rate a happy marriage and a loving daughter would make his life seem less pathetic.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. By the Buu arc he's happily married to a beautiful, powerful woman with a loving daughter, and he's best friends with the guardian of the earth. And we're supposed to pity him? I wish my life could be as good as his.

Other than being jobless and having to mooch off of Roshi. tongue

There's plenty of material to potentially "mock" Krillin for in the Buu Saga.

I mean, raising a child in Kame House isn't exactly ideal.

Like. Marron's first book was definitely porn.

Only if Roshi has actually died four times.tongue

And it'd be a pretty long trip to Namek, so I'm giving him enough credit that he'd be smart enough to keep the house clear of that shit.

Roshi literally tried molesting 18 in front of her daughter. I'm pretty sure Roshi's philosophy is dick first, life second.

Well then.

I'd say fuck him, but that would be giving him what he wants, so just kill him instead.

Then make a wish on Shen-Ron that he never be revived...

Wait. Can you make a wish on Shen-Ron to make it so that someone who still could be revived is never brought back ever, under any circumstances?

[up][up] True, but since Roshi is the type of person who has no qualms doing perverted things in front of children like when he trained Goku, not exactly someone you want around your child.

They could always go the route of having 18 not come back from the dead, and all her post-Cell Saga appearances are actually a replacement android that Bulma's dad built that only has a limited number of speech files and can't remotely pass the Turing test, but Krillin acts like she's his girlfriend anyway. That'd keep the "Krillin is a loser" thing going stronger than ever.

That would be going out of their way to shit on Krillin, needlessly cruel and pointless.

If it were Yamcha, I bet they'd do it, because everyone loves shitting on him (including his creator), but for Krillin, that's too much.

Especially since it would require Gohan to not punch 18 out of Cell, which kind of messes up the whole self-destruct thing.
