<\/figure>\n

Goku\u2019s gone through a lot of rivals over the course of Dragon Ball<\/a>, but only one has the privilege of calling him \u201cbest friend.\u201d Krillin has been a part of Dragon Ball<\/a> since he trained alongside Goku for the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai. He\u2019s one of the most prevalent martial artists in the story, maintaining his importance long after most of the Earthlings have bowed out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Krillin\u2019s even become a mainstay in Dragon Ball Super<\/a>, ensuring modern audiences don\u2019t forget about Goku\u2019s right hand man. While Krillin is far from the series\u2019 strongest martial artist, he\u2019s participated in some of Dragon Ball<\/a>\u2019s best fights and is one of the most skilled fighters in the franchise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Krillin Vs Dracula Man<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While a short fight and hardly Krillin\u2019s best display of power in Dragon Ball, his battle against Dracula Man during Uranai Baba\u2019s Tournament is utterly hilarious. The first match-up, Dracula Man immediately turns into a bat and starts sucking blood out of Krillin\u2019s head.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Krillin has no choice but to forfeit or else he\u2019ll die from blood loss. It\u2019s a moment that\u2019s played for laughs, but that\u2019s part of early Dragon Ball\u2019s charm. Krillin also gets to show off his smarts when he helps Yamcha defeat Suke-san in the next round, so it\u2019s not like he loses for nothing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Krillin Vs General Blue<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

General Blue is one of the deadliest members of the Red Ribbon Army and he nearly kills the main cast to prove it. Blue comes dangerously close to victory in the Pirate Cave. While Krillin is strong, General Blue is a trained soldier with psychic powers. Blue is able to paralyze Krillin in place with his abilities, delivering quite the beatdown. Krillin is unfortunately on the receiving end for most of the fight, but Blue\u2019s skill set sticks out as one of the most unique in Dragon Ball.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Krillin Vs Chaozu<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Funny enough, General Blue isn\u2019t the only psychic opponent Krillin fights in Dragon Ball. Krillin\u2019s first match during the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai is against Chaozu, a psychic assassin training under the Crane School. Like Blue, Chaozu\u2019s abilities are able to lock Krillin in place \u2013 allowing him to get several free and easy hits in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Krillin fights back against Chaozu not through brute force, but by outsmarting him. Since Chaozu has to use his hands to paralyze and was never taught basic math (unlike the Turtle School), Krillin shouts out several math problems to confuse him. Chaozu is forced to count on his fingers, giving Krillin an opportunity to secure victory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Krillin, Gohan, & Vegeta Vs Recoome<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Dragon Ball always does group battles well, mainly because Goku tends to sit them out. As a result, the main characters are forced to fight for their lives and often creatively. While Krillin isn\u2019t the star player in the fight against Recoome (Gohan and Vegeta ultimately do more), his presence is significant and adds to the overwhelming feeling of despair before Goku can arrive.\u00a0 Vegeta isn\u2019t strong enough to stop Recoome; Gohan has his neck snapped, nearly dying; and Krillin takes a nasty kick head-on that prevents him from doing much without a Senzu. By the time Goku arrives, it\u2019s easy to share Krillin\u2019s hope.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Krillin, Gohan, & Vegeta Vs Frieza<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The fight against Frieza is an endurance match mainly about buying time for Piccolo and Goku to arrive. The main characters have no real chance at survival, but that doesn\u2019t stop Gohan or Krillin from fighting back. While Vegeta cowers in fear, Krillin leads Frieza all throughout Namek in a move that ultimately costs the tyrant his tail.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though Krillin is painfully outmatched, he doesn\u2019t back down fighting second form Frieza. Krillin is only second to Gohan as far as pre-Goku Frieza battle time is concerned. Vegeta sits out most of the fight and Piccolo doesn\u2019t get too much action before Goku arrives. Krillin pulls his weight no matter the threat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Krillin Vs Jackie Chun<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Charming, comparatively grounded, and the first real example of Dragon Ball embracing super speed and other outrageous techniques, Krillin\u2019s fight against Jackie Chun in the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai is a great showing for both characters. There\u2019s a lot of humor during the match, but this is also the first time where Toriyama really starts to play with fight choreography.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The action is slicker, more dynamic, and there\u2019s an actual arc to their battle. This fight also builds off Yamcha\u2019s in the first round, where Jackie Chun was able to defeat the bandit without so much as taking a hit. Krillin is a much stronger opponent, nearly ringing out Chun with early on. It just goes to show how well Roshi trained his students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Krillin, Gohan, Yajirobe, & Goku Vs Vegeta<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The final battle against Vegeta at the end of the Saiyan arc stands out as one of the single greatest fights in Dragon Ball. After Goku unfortunately exhausts all his energy just trying to stop Vegeta, the Elite Saiyan transforms into an Oozaru and starts breaking every bone in Goku\u2019s body. It\u2019s left to the surviving Earthlings to save the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0Dragon Ball: Every Character Piccolo Tried To Kill (& Failed)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Yajirobe slices off Vegeta\u2019s tail while Gohan takes on the Saiyan himself, leaving Krillin to carry on Goku\u2019s Genki Dama and fire it at Vegeta. While Krillin misses, he plays an instrumental role in giving Gohan the chance to fire the Genki Dama into Vegeta. Not just that, Krillin was outright ready to kill Vegeta with Yajirobe\u2019s sword had Goku not intervened.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Krillin, Gohan, & Piccolo Vs Nappa<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Saiyan arc in general is Dragon Ball at its best. The fight against Nappa is incredibly tense, especially coming after Yamcha\u2019s untimely death. Watching Tenshinhan and Chaozu die back to back sets a heavy tone for the fight, as if anyone can die. Krillin, Piccolo, and Gohan all fight for their lives, desperately trying to defeat Nappa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the Saiyan is stronger, Krillin and Piccolo are two of the most talented martial artists on Earth. Together, they\u2019re able to lock Nappa into a killer combo that could have finished the Saiyan off if Gohan didn\u2019t choke. While the fight is ultimately a team effort, Krillin plays a key role and actually would have killed Nappa with his Kienzan if Vegeta didn\u2019t realize what was happening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Krillin Vs Majunior<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

An often overlooked detail in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai is that Piccolo actually loses his confidence after fighting Krillin. Before the tournament begins, Majunior genuinely believes he will easily avenge Demon King Piccolo and take over the world. That all stops when Krillin puts up a truly impressive fight in the first round.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Krillin\u2019s ability to fly, Ki attacks, and smart tactics nearly net him a ring out victory over Piccolo. What Krillin lacks in raw strength, he makes up for in ingenuity. And while he loses the fight, Master Roshi praises him as a genuine master artist on every level. More importantly, Piccolo starts to realize that Earth\u2019s martial artists are an actual threat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Krillin Vs Son Goku<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Krillin only gets to fight Goku once in Dragon Ball, but it\u2019s easily his best fight in the series. During the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai semi-finals, Master Roshi shares his philosophy with Tenshihan as Goku and Krillin step onto the arena: the next generation of martial arts is here and it\u2019s time for him to pass the torch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Goku and Krillin\u2019s fight is one of the most creative battles in Dragon Ball, highlighting Roshi\u2019s decision to step down. His students have far surpassed him, both skilled in their own right. Where Goku is a powerful martial artist who’s also incredibly skilled, Krillin is a brilliant strategist whose quick thinking nearly wins him victory over Goku. Krillin\u2019s fight against Goku in the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai is a mix of excellent fight choreography with brilliant storytelling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
