When the remake of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z Kai, released the Blu-ray disc for the second episode, reporters had the opportunity to chat with Ms. Mayumi Tanaka, the actress who voiced Goku’s friend Krilin in many movies. five consecutive years. Ms. Tanaka talked openly about her character, explaining why Krilin is the most beloved character in the series. And when it comes to Goku, Tanaka revealed something that surprised everyone: she said that Krilin’s love for Goku is unique, extremely loyal, and that is the kind of love that Chichi not necessarily comparable.

Tanaka explained, “ At any rate, Krilin loves Goku very much. That’s why he waited for Goku throughout his battle with Vegeta, and even on planet Namek. I see him playing a role no different from a wife always waiting for her husband, always screaming “I can’t compete with these guys, come here quickly, Goku!’ It’s clear that Krilin can be a better wife than Chichi .”

While the reporters were still “frozen”, Ms. Tanaka immediately stated that this comment was just a joke, and that there was no homo𝑠e𝑥ual relationship between these two close friends.

However, Ms. Tanaka also reiterated that no one can deny that they are one of the most famous couples in the manga/anime world. Goku and Krillin have been close friends since childhood, grew up together, studied with the same teacher under the guidance of the Turtle God. As an adult, Goku always saw Krillin as a true brother. It was Krillin’s death at the hands of Friezza that made Goku become a legendary Super Saiyan. That is the clearest proof of their friendship, so the fact that Krillin loves Goku like Chi Chi is also… extremely normal.

Whether these two types of love are the same or not, you should decide for yourself and have your own answer.
