"He is often used as comic relief[...] by the writers" The writers? AFAIK Toriyama wrote it all by himself.
- The anime had several writers, in addition to Toriyama, but you are mostly correct and the statement is misleading. JRP

[edit] Krillin
His official Dub name is Krillin. I think the article should be called Krillin instead of Kuririn.
- Because FUNimation's "dub" is the only source, not their subtitles and VIZ's manga. Voice of Treason 03:40, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
You listed 2 sources, the subtitles and the manga. I can list 4: The Funimation dub, The videogames, the action figures, and the Official card game. They all use names like Krillin, Cooler, and Dabura, rather than Kuririn, Coola, or Dabra. The subtitles and Manga aren't the official names, they are simply a direct translation of the Japanese version.
- Pardon me, but that's absurd. How is Viz's translation any less viable than FUNimation's, which uses the same name in the subtitles? One would think those translations would be just as "official" - if not more so - than those made to sell the dub. Voice of Treason 23:57, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
FUNimation uses them in their official subs. Viz uses it. That's two official sources right there. "The video games, action figures, and TCG" are not relevent to this discussion. They are merchandise. We're writing articles on a manga and the anime based on it, not FUNimation's marketing deals and products. It's the same reason we use the Daizenshuu attack list in these articles. Try to make an accurate, non-contradictory attack list using the various english sources (manga, anime, video games). Trust me, you reallllly can't. Onikage725
The videogames, toys, and cardw are OFFICIAL merchandise. The names were OK'd for use. Those are the official names, whether you like it or not.
- That's not actually true. The likenesses are licensed, true. But no one "approves" or "makes official" all of the extra. JRP 23:12, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
They approve the names on the cards, otherwise, somebody would start selling Krillin cards that list his name as "short bald dude." Funimation doesn't use Kuririn.
- THAT would be misleading. The licensees have no desire to mislead people and so they will choose the most common names, which will probably be FUNi names. Their process isn't too much different than here. I'm not saying that we shouldn't use "Krillin", but this line of debate is inaccurate. Now that Viz has switched to "Djinn Boo", I'm less inclined to say we should use their names without exceptions. ;) JRP 13:25, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
What names are used on cards is irrelevant. Again, this article is on a character from a MANGA and ANIME. For official information, those are our sources. You could argue familiarity with with the dub names if you like, but that Kuririn isn't used in the states is untrue. It's used in the manga and it is used in the OFFICIAL US subtitles as licensed by FUNimation and translated by Steve Simmons. Also, if you want to talk about the merch, the R. Talsorian game uses the dub name but also tells the reader what the original name was and the associated pun (Kuri/Chestnut). And Budokai 3 Special Edition and Budokai Tenkaichi have japanese tracks where you can clearly hear the original name being spoken. Onikage725

- This is quite possible the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Kuririn is his Japanese name, while Krillin is his English name. While you may believe calling him Kuririn gives you nerd cred, it doesn't make any sense to list it as such on the English wiki. There's really no debate on the matter, he's called Krillin in both the English anime version and the English manga as well as all merchandise relating to him. For the sake of not being confusing it should be listed as Krillin with his alternate spelling listed as an aside. And really, I can't stress how dumb this is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.180.254.215 (talk) 20:41, 3 January 2007 (UTC).
Hmm, I didn't realize there was such a controversy over this. Paul Haymon 08:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] tenshinhan or krillin
Who is stronger krillin or tenshinhan please support your opinions with evidence. User:Kami-Sama
I think it varies. In the Saiyan saga, Krillin did much better against the Saibamen and Nappa, so I believe he was stronger at that point. At the end of the series, though, I think Tien may have surpassed him, because Tien deflects one of Super Buu's energy blasts, and Super Buu killed Krillin in a matter of seconds.

yes, but in the end, yamcha said that krillin was the strongest human in the world. No matter how many eyes he has, tienshinhan is human-138.88.90.164 01:31, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- The talk section is for discussing the ARTICLE. Not questions that should be brought up in forums such as what you have written.--Suit-n-tie 21:03, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. I suggest we end this discussion immediately-SSJ Gokan 09:36, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- On the other hand, this article does hint toward the idea that Krillin is the strongest human, so this little "forum debate" is marginally related to the article. 209.247.22.151 21:00, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] power
by the end of dragon ball z does krillen ever surpass freeza in terms of power. id like some opinions on this and none of that we are here to discuss the article shit like people put up-opinions - Zadsat 13:59, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- I got no proof for ya, but I've always thought so. Frieza never got stronger than a Super Saiyan, so the question really is, did Krillin ever surpass a Super Saiyan's power level? I'd say yes. Paul Haymon 08:28, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Most likely he did. In the end, I always thought that he was around Super Saiyan Goten's powerlevel.-SSJ Gokan 11:59, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] special moves
Krillin can do Solar flare, seen in episode: "Piccolo, a Super Namek?"

[edit] Dragonball GT
All of the info under the GT sectionhas nothing to do with GT, and is trivia based on Dragonball and Dragonball Z. Ultimen 06:57, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A second Running Gag?
It seems to me that everytime Krillin fights and is taken down, his neck is Broken, I belive this would count as a Running gag, due to it happening several times in the Manga and Anime. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.247.21.21 (talk) 00:17, 4 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Zanzoken
I thought he used it in the manga at both the 22nd and 23rd tournaments. Thanos6 12:18, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cell/Krillin
If anyone could find a picture of Cell after absorbing Krilling (from one of the alternate timelines portrayed in the first Budokai I think) and add this info, that would be awesome. I think that it, while not important, is interesting. WookMuff 01:26, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Deaths
I may be wrong about this, but I believe that Krillin has died the most amount of times in the Dragon Ball series. Master Roshi (for some reason) has a "Deaths" section on his page where it counts his deaths, why not Krillin?
It's really no big deal, but I'd like to see some form of list of the amount of times Krillin died, and how.
