There are eternal characters that manage to be born, take shape and develop in the arms of their authors who pamper them with a huge affection many times without them knowing it, not all characters are so desired but the few that make it become protagonists in the soul of an audience .... even if they kill them many times haha.
Krilin is a bald guy with a mischievous personality, just look at the thumbnail of this post and you will tell me that it doesn't make you smile with jocular nostalgia, he is funny, he is a child who makes himself loved because he has been molded so many times to the situations that we don't realize that there are several personalities of the character which evolve as the author develops the story.
From this moment on this review may contain spoilers of the character, if you haven't seen Dragon Ball, it's a very good anime that I invite you to watch for characters like Krilin.
- Memories of a Great Character:
It is very likely that you know and are fans of Dragon Ball since you were little, in my case it is so and I liked it because of the fights and much emphasis to the comic moments that were diverse, the story became more serious in Dragon Ball Z but when Goku was small and met his eternal friend Krilin, this had an extremely hateful personality, a very intelligent boy who analyzed the situations which is maintained throughout the sagas but that hateful touch was lost as the story progressed.
If you got to see those initial chapters with little Krilin, you will remember the boy was a wretch with Goku haha, I laugh because at that time I think he is one of the funniest Krilin there is for his pranks to the innocent Goku and also for the visual aspect, this in the character design changed later where what gave him what I consider a hateful feature is specifically the drawing of the eyes.
- Toriyama's favorite is Krilin:
Yes it is true that the author exaggerated in the amount of deaths for Krilin haha BUT the balance balances when he gives him one of the most precious females within the Saga, the wonderful Number 18, the whole way this relationship came about within the chaos of the Cell saga shows the affection Toriyama felt for this character because I see no flaws in the story in leaving Krilin alone but the author gave him a companion with whom he would be happy forever.
- Character Evolution:
Krilin is vital to several arcs in the franchise, I think unintentionally Toriyama took this character as part of it, it's up to you to judge but I think that because Krilin solved the story arcs for him in a solid way, in fact it is so much so that it falls into an abuse of the character and we get to the meme of the many deaths of Krilin that make us laugh happily BUT we can not deny that those arcs without the deaths of this character would not have the solidity that leaves Dragon Ball on a pedestal for the number of fans of this story.
As I mentioned before, the character becomes more serious and it is in very specific moments where he becomes funny again as with Bulma in the Saga of Freezer, against Freezer himself that this must be given credit for the guts that Krilin has to have done everything he did being a Human.
- Krilin is actually not bald, one of the best PLot Twist of the franchise:
I remember the first time I saw him with that hair and I said to myself in a funny tone what the fuck is going on here, why does Krilin have that hair and it turns out that Krilin shaves his head... okey Toriyama you got it right and made me laugh, I had never seen that but he there said it and for us it becomes a very funny moment and one of the best Plot Twist in all of Dragon Ball because no one in life would have expected that aesthetic and explanation for his abundant hair.
- It is one of the strongest Humans in the Franchise:
This detail lags behind the massive power of enemies like Cell, Majin Boo, Freezer and Saiyajines BUT if we evaluate the human aggregate that Dragon Ball has, Krilin stands out, he walks through all the sagas and is there with his holy balls giving his punches from time to time, I remember when he hit and kicked Cell perfected, although he almost died there... again haha, it does not take away the merit that he went all out against the villain and the same applies with Freezer.
- It's an Eternal Meme:
We will be old, our children will have their children and when we talk with them about Krilin we will laugh together because of all the memes he has about his deaths haha, I think I have mentioned many times his deaths but what can I tell you... he dies a lot haha, it is amazing how something that in theory should be very serious, can unite generations because if there is something that will never be forgotten are his memes, even people who do not know this story most likely saw in their lives some meme of Krilin.
I dedicate each and every one of my posts and videos to my little dog named princess, we called her chiquito, she is no longer with us but from heaven she will see that her existence was valuable and the most beautiful thing that will exist in my heart and soul.
