For something, it is the only relationship in the franchise that flourished…
Throughout the Akira Toriyama franchise there have always been some plot holes, but when its author has planned the development of this or that character, it is impressive. For example, while Krillin and Android 18’s relationship in the Dragon Ball manga is a bit strange, actually makes a lot of sense and was originally foreshadowed with the characteristic humor of this work.
in dragonball Chapter 25 by Akira Toriyama, readers meet Krillin after the little warrior rows to Master Roshi’s island and begs him to accept him as his student. And, he quickly becomes one of the favorite characters in the fandom. Roshi agrees, but only if he and Goku complete a task for him, and Krillin doesn’t hesitate to accept the offer. When it’s time to leave the island and accomplish what Roshi had asked of them, Goku gets on his flying cloud so they can traverse the globe faster than they ever could without him, and it is this that leads us to predict the relationship between Krillin and Android 18.
This cloud only allows people who are pure at heart to ride it, so when Krillin tries to jump on the cloud alongside Goku, he just falls off. Since his lack of a pure heart raises suspicion, Roshi asks Krillin if he had ulterior motives for learning advanced martial arts, and Krillin reluctantly admits that actually he just wanted to learn how to fight so he could impress girls. The fact that Krillin only became one of the Z Fighters today so he could impress potential love interests fully explains his relationship with Android 18.
While the other Earth warriors saw the androids as a world-ending threat that had to be eliminated at all costs, Krillin was lost in his attraction to the villain and nearly helped destroy the world in the process. During the Cell saga, Krillin had the opportunity to “kill” her before Cell absorbed 18, which would have prevented him from reaching her perfect form. However, Krillin simply couldn’t do it, allowing Cell to grow exponentially in power. Then when she finished the whole fight, Krillin helped 18 to safety just so he could get a chance to date her.which is a risky move given how dangerous she proved to be.
Krillin and Android 18, the best Dragon Ball couple
We know that Krillin is one of the most powerful martial artists on Earth, as he studied alongside Goku under Master Roshi in the early days of the Dragon Ball manga. During their time training together, Krillin and Goku learned many of the same techniques, including the incredibly powerful Kamehameha ki blast. As they helped each other grow in power, Krillin and Goku also grew their friendship and, when they reached adulthood, they became the unofficial protectors of the planet known as the Z Fighters.
Years later, Krillin and Goku immediately responded to the call to action of Trunks, Vegeta’s time-traveling son, as he warned all of the Z Fighters of the impending threat from the androids. In Trunks’ future, Android 17 and his sister Android 18 decimated the Earth, so Trunks went back to make sure that didn’t happen. While fighting the androids after they finally made their presence known, Krillin fell head over heels for one of the villains, Android 18. In fact, Krillin was so passionate about the android that after Cell absorbed her and then regurgitated her, he rushed to her aid. despite the fact that she had tried to kill them all recently, a moment that even Vegeta thought was incredibly foolish.
While Krillin is a committed fighter and one of Earth’s greatest protectors, his first appearance along with his relationship with Android 18 demonstrates that his warrior spirit is not the driving force behind his battles as it is for Dragon’s warriors. Ball as Goku or Vegeta. Krillin is a lover, and he only fights to win love or strengthen the love he has already won.something that was made clear in her debut and that perfectly explains her marriage to Android 18.
