The Saddest Truth About Krillin in Dragon Ball

Krillin is the funny little bald guy — Goku's best friend, the comic relief, the butt of a thousand jokes. But his story is one of the darkest in Dragon Ball. A bullied outcast who became a hero, he started as Goku's equal and was left infinitely behind, died more times than almost any hero in anime, and his single greatest contribution to the legend was his own murder — the death that triggered the first Super Saiyan. This is the tragedy, and the quiet triumph, of the most relatable character in Dragon Ball. #dragonball #krillin #anime
