ANIME VS MANGA. KRILLIN'S INCLUSION IN THE TOURNAMENT OF POWER.
ANIME: 📺
DBS EP 92-99
- Goku compliments Krillin when wanting him to join Team Universe 7. Goku is confident in Krillin & says "We need your quick-thinkin' fightin' style!"
- Krillin fights despite Beerus telling him not. Beerus later cheers for him.
- Krillin saves 18 (who was caught off guard by a sneak-attack) from being the first team member of Universe 7 to be eliminated.
His quick-thinking allowed him to jump off the arena to save 18, then propel them back to safety with a ki blast.
- K18 team-up and defeat Shosha with team attacks. K18 receive praise from Beerus.
Krillin's strategies & their teamwork gave them victory.
- After Majora knocked both Krillin & 18 down, 18 doubted they could defeat Majora, but Krillin was confident. Krillin tells 18 he will fight Majora 1 on 1. Krillin skill puts him on par with Majora's strength, then Krillin outsmarts and eliminates Majora on his own with a Kamehameha.
Krillin's quick-thinking came in handy just as Goku said it would.
That statement & other moments are "setup & payoff" & "Chekhov's gun." (Another instance is in DBS EP 84 when K18 told Goku that teamwork is important when he was recruiting them. Then, Universe 7 wins because of teamwork; Goku teams up with Freeza & 17 to defeat Jiren. All thanks to Goku learning from K18.)
- Krillin briefly lets his guard down & is eliminated by a craven sneak-attack from Frost instead of Frost fighting Krillin head-on (
cause it's highly likely that Krillin can beat Frost if Roshi was able to stand up to Frost for a short while & Krillin is leagues stronger than Roshi). Then, Frost immediately runs away from 18 like a coward. Beerus is upset Krillin got eliminated, but it's not done in a hateful manner. Beerus was proud of Krillin & gave him praise (unlike in the manga 😒).
+ DBS EP 117
Ribrianne represents the silly Krillin haters of the fandom.
After Ribrianne insults Krillin & K18's marriage (like K18 haters do), the anime staff write that K18's power of love defeats Ribrianne, giving a symbolic middle finger to Krillin haters & K18 haters. 🖕
MANGA: 📚
DBS CH 32-34
- Goku insults Krillin when wanting him to join Team Universe 7. Goku isnt even confident in Krillin & says "I think you might make a good teammate in this tournament!"
- Krillin is inaccurately portrayed as weak & worthless by Toyotaro. He writes for Krillin's best friend, master, & other characters to be mean to him.
- In the manga version of the ToP, Krillin does absolutely nothing, then is immediately eliminated by a sneak-attack from Frost. Beerus is mad at Krillin and the scene is written to make fun of & belittle Krillin.
- Toyotaro makes the Kamikaze Fireballs have reversed standards of beauty (
unlike the anime versions who obsess over love) just to insult Krillin & enforce the undue hate from the fandom. Toyotaro's a Krillin hater trying to mask it with bad comedy.
(In many anime, the lack of a nose and round face is artistically done to represent cuteness & a youthful design. Krillin was designed in such a way. A short, cute & youthful face with a muscular body at peak human conditions. Ppl only call Krillin ugly because they don't want him with 18 & others follow the lie. Toyotaro is one of these ppl promoting the lie.)
INTERVIEW: 📝
The anime crew understood that Toriyama included characters like Roshi & Krillin for a reason. They showed off the skill of the Earthlings & why they were chosen for the tournament.
But in the manga, characters like Krillin & Tien are quickly eliminated. It mostly focused on Saiyans and quickly got rid of non-Saiyan characters in insulting ways.
Which one do you think appreciates & understands the characters more?
Anime or Manga? The answer is obvious.
Interesting and in-depth.

this post was supposed to be about a computer virus but it has resurfaced both for ebola and now covid
Im fucking dying. REAL ESTATE. SELLING PLANETS AND WORRYING ABOUT RETAIL VALUE. HIRING REAL ESTATE WORKERS TO DO HIS BIDDING N UNDERPAYS THEM. this…. This realization is gutting me
its free real estate
I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said “might as well see if it works.” I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if you’re a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.
dude.
$2,714 of medical debt from my top surgery - gone. im shaking this was such a weight on me for 2 years and it fucking worked. what the fuck.
Yes, a Reddit post. I’m sure so many of you are shocked that our colossally bad take came from there, (and probably from Toyotaro’s burner account lol), but nevertheless, here it is. How to even begin to unpack this…
Okay, here we go:
1. Goku’s was hardly the only one who didn’t want to stop Gero. Vegeta literally threatened to KILL anyone who DID try to stop them. Tien wanted to fight them to test his limits. Goku’s desire was to fight them, yes, hello, this is Goku, But he also refused to just find and straight-up kill Gero when he TECHNICALLY hadn’t done anything to warrant it yet. And, as we actually came to see, that’s not an entirely unwarranted stance; things changed between these two timelines even without direct intervention. Unlikely as it was, it was possible that Gero may not have gone through with it. There have been entire books and films on this topic..
2. This stupid claim just refuses to die. At what point in any part of the fight with Goku and Cell was it even IMPLIED that Goku could have won? Goku stated he’d been going all-out in his fight with Cell, when the Cell Jrs arrived and started attacking, Goku was getting bodied even though they were only about as strong as Vegeta or Trunks, who were both far below him when at full power. Goku could not have beaten Cell. ONLY Gohan could. The boy even said that he’d thought Goku and Cell were both not fighting seriously because they looked to be moving slowly to him. Gohan was already stronger than Goku, before he ever turned SSJ2. Period.
And for the love of GOD, STOP with this “severe emotional trauma” nonsense! Gohan had been watching people die, his friends no less, since he was FIVE. In fact, seeing that at FIVE is FAR more likely to have given him any severe and lasting emotional trauma. PICCOLO is more likely to have caused this than Goku. Yes, the Piccolo the OP even then tries to claim is the paragon of fatherhood. Gohan was already afraid of his own anger, he always had a dislike of fighting and hurting people. The thing that shook the boy the most was watching his dad die and knowing it was partly his fault. Even then, he grew up into a healthy, well-adjusted man with his dream job and a family. Just STOP pushing your headcanons onto him for two seconds!
3. THINKS he could have killed Buu. Opted to try to teach those still alive a technique that would enable THEM to kill Buu and keep protecting the Earth even after he was gone. Could have killed Vegeta, yes, and sent him to hell and left Bulma and Trunks broken-hearted. Instead opted to try to reason with him first and allow him to think he’d finally caught up to him so he’d stop obsessing over their power gap to the point of SELLING HIS SOUL TO AN EVIL WIZARD TO GET THE EDGE..
And now, for the completely asinine reasons Goku is eeeeevil:
1. You’re acting as if this isn’t just Goku. That is LITERALLY Goku. Always HAS been Goku. He treats EVERYNE as a peer and potential friend and ADORES the idea of trying to fight strong people. Note that he also ASKED for a spar, didn’t just “attack” or something. This also has nothing to do with a thirst for “power”, it has to do with Goku trying to test himself and push himself to be the greatest warrior it’s possible for him to be. This is the same mentality that had Goku excited for the Tenkaichi Budokai, that had him excited to face Vegeta, that had him spare Piccolo and Vegeta for the sake of rematch against such a great opponent someday. This is not some sort of development that happened post-Namek, and it’s by no means Evil.
Also, how tf did VEGETA supposedly warn him when Vegeta was back on Earth and nowhere to be found?
2. Again… this is just Goku. This is how he is. That doesn’t mean he didn’t care about the plight of others though; Goku doesn’t just sit back and ignore suffering he’s been made aware of, and he helps his friends. But yes, the idea of facing HIMSELF was exciting to him; possibly his ONLY chance to compare his progress to another “version” of himself.
And… I’m sorry, but Goku erupting into a fit of rage over his family’s murder is invalidated because he was mad it used HIS body? Really? NO KIDDING I’d be extra pissed if some psychopath took over my body and murdered my wife and little boy! Who WOULDN’T be pissed about that? The last thing his wife saw was her husband’s face grinning as he cut through her and their son. The last thing Goten saw was his daddy GLEEFULLY murdering him. The fact that he flew into the biggest rage he’d ever had since he first fought FREEZA over this shows how much that hurt him. The fact that you think it was entirely about the use of his body and not their deaths shows a piss-poor ability to analyze what you see on screen, ESPECIALLY as he was upset but mostly indifferent hearing how Zamasu stole his body UNTIL he told Goku he murdered his family too. THEN he flew into a rage. This is also going to invalidate an upcoming point, so pin this.
3. Aaaand… we’re right back to the Tournament of Power itself. The Tournament that literally no one foresaw as having those results. The one that as stated to actually buy one universe that was gonna be wiped anyways a fighting chance to survive, and later turned out to be a massive morality test to allow ALL of said universes to survive. Nevermind that though, this OP here asserts that Goku KNEW it would result in that, was TOLD it would even (he literally was not I am so sick of that claim), and didn’t even KNOW they COULD undo it and STILL wanted it! This is easily the most hardcore anti-Goku stance I have ever seen on this topic This isn’t just chiding him for being ignorant or not listening to warnings (again, not applicable), it’s accusing him of KNOWING Genocide would happen and actually WATING that in the name of a few fights. This being his stance is further illustrated by his assertion that Goku is indisputably a sociopath. Let’s look at the definition of a sociopath, shall we? “A person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience.” This is not Goku. OBJECTIVELY not Goku. Goku is far from anti-social, and very much has a strong sense of right and wrong, hence his desire to intervene when he comes across people suffering. Hence why he sought justice for the murder of Upa’s father. Hence why he felt IMMEDIATE REGRET after hearing what the consequences would be for the losers of the ToP, and WHY HE FLEW INTO A RAGE OVER THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE AND SON. Goku is capable of sympathy, empathy, and grasps the concepts of right and wrong. A sociopath he is not. And, of course, the stupid assertion that Goku is a bad father and Piccolo and Vegeta are the REAL examples of fatherhood… which is also erasure of Gohan and Krillin, neither of whom assaulted their daughters, tossed them into the wilderness to fend for themselves, forced them to be fighters and face homicidal aliens at age 5,or nearly let them and their mothers fall to their deaths because they were too absorbed with finding and killing an enemy to prove their superiority. To cap it off, Vegeta and Piccolo have somehow inexplicably become the “symbols of hope” in the series, trying to stop an evil, unhinged Goku from annihilating them all, and he asserts that Vegeta became the REAL hero during… the Cell Saga? The arc where Vegeta literally helped Cell become perfect? And was the hero in the arc where he sold his soul to Babidi, helped resurrect Buu, AND murdered hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent people JUST to make Goku mad enough to fight him because he refused to? You know, the thing you actually used as a point of criticism for… GOKU, and are clearly abdicating Vegeta of any and all responsibility for? Folks, I’ve seen some bad takes in my day, but it’s very, VERY rare to find one this unhinged and frankly inept in one place. This is nuclear levels of Bad Takes here. Just… wow.
have u done Goku yet 👉👈
goku is fuckable. die
