KRILLIN
KR
Goku's lifelong best buddy and the ultimate Earthling underdog. Sure, he might spend a lot of time tossing Senzu beans from the sidelines while the Saiyans go wild, but let's not forget he invented the Destructo Disc! Plus, he managed to win over Android 18, which is arguably the greatest victory in the entire series. Krillin always brings that much-needed relatable, human perspective when the fights start getting completely out of hand.

Krillin is never going to win this page, which is part of why he is so useful on it. He keeps surviving rooms full of people whose numbers say he should not be there.
Power scaling needs a control group. Krillin is the control group with a Destructo Disc.

Krillin gets Guru's potential unlock and suddenly the strongest ordinary human on Earth has a number that would have made Saiyan Saga Vegeta pay attention.
That jump is what makes Namek fun to chart. Nobody changed hair color. Nobody fused. An elderly Namekian put a hand on Krillin's head and ruined three years of old power-level tables.

WISH LEDGER //
Open page →Krillin Removes Android 17 and 18's Explosive Devices
Open →Cell Games Saga
After the first wish restores Cell's victims, Krillin asks Shenron to turn Android 17 and Android 18 into ordinary humans. Shenron cannot do that, so Krillin changes the request: remove the explosive devices implanted inside them.
That wish succeeds.
That wish succeeds.
Why it matters
Krillin uses one of the most powerful resources on Earth for something the Androids never asked him to do. It is a small act after a gigantic battle, and Android 18 is listening.
COMBAT LEDGER //
Open page →Vegeta, Gohan & Krillin vs. Guldo & Recoome
Open →Namek Saga · Planet Namek Plains · Result: Tactical Defeat (Rescued by Goku)
The desperate alliance against the Ginyu Force. Krillin and Gohan are frozen by Guldo's time-stop until Vegeta decapitates Guldo. Recoome then enters as an unyielding wall, breaking Gohan's neck and shattering Krillin's ribs before Goku's Capsule Corp ship touches down.
The Breakdown
Pure brutal attrition. It pushed Gohan and Krillin to their absolute physical limits and set up Goku's arrival as the ultimate cathartic relief.

Destructo Disc
Open →Kienzan · High-Frequency Razor Disc · Krillin, Cell, Frieza
The ultimate equalizer in DBZ combat. Krillin forms a flat, razor-sharp disc of spinning, ultra-high-frequency energy atop an open palm. The disc ignores conventional power gaps and durability boundaries - slicing Nappa's cheek, cutting Great Ape Vegeta's tail, and severing Frieza's body.
Debut: Ep 027 - Leave it to Me! Gohan's Great Burst of Anger
TECHNIQUE ENCYCLOPEDIA //
Open page →The ultimate equalizer in power-scaling history. Flat, ultra-high-frequency ki spun atop an open hand into a razor disc that ignores conventional durability. It nicked Nappa's cheek, severed Great Ape Vegeta's tail, and cut Frieza in half - proof that spatial density can beat raw power level. Krillin's entire cast value in one move.
