Krillin and Tien Shinhan have never fought each other so everyone wants to know who is stronger than who.

The world of Dragon Ball is full of Androids and powerful aliens like Saiyans and Namekians, so it’s difficult for a normal person on Earth to fight them.

However, two Earthlings, Krillin and Tien Shinhan, always fight side by side with their saiyan friends throughout the series. Although the two have never fought directly with each other, the question of who is stronger always makes many people curious.

Below, let’s put it on the scale to see who is really stronger at this time: Krillin and Tien Shinhan!

1. Krillin

In Dragon Ball, Krillin was initially introduced as Goku’s rival, they trained together by Master Roshi. But over time, the two became close friends. Although his power level has never been able to keep up with Goku’s, Krillin never backs down from a fight.

As a result, this attitude has cost him many times in Dragon Ball, against enemies like Tambourine, Frieza, and Buu. However, Krillin’s sharp mind and quick reactions have helped him survive many impressive battles.

Trained by Master Roshi, Krillin can also use two special moves: Solar Flare and Kamehameha. He also has several techniques of his own creation such as Scatter Bullet, which shoots a ki blast high into the air, then splits into several smaller, faster blasts. His ki waves can wipe out attacks with ease. And Krillin’s most special technique is the Destination Disc, a razor-sharp energy disc that can cut through almost anything.

2. Money

Tien is a student of Tsuru-Sennin, Master Roshi’s long-time rival. Just like his friend Chaozu, he was originally a Dragon Ball villain who was introduced during the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, competing against Goku. Tien even won fights with others such as breaking Yamcha’s leg and winning against Goku in the final round match.

But through the fights, he grew to respect Goku more, especially after their friends Krillin and Chaozu were killed. They fought together against King Piccolo, becoming good friends. Tien Shinhan participated in many battles in Dragon Ball Z, despite dying while fighting Nappa and Buu. But like Krillin, he never gives up before his enemies.

Since Tien was not trained by Master Roshi, his abilities are different from Goku, Krillin, and Yamcha. Tien uses Dodon Ray, a powerful technique shot from his fingers. Tien also has the dazzling Solar Flare, the Four Witches technique, which brings a new set of “weapons” and Multi Form – allowing him to create 4 identical clones to attack from multiple directions in a battle.

However, Tien’s most powerful move is Shin Kikohou, Tri-Beam. While it is powerful enough to take on major threats like Semi-Perfect Cell, this move also has a limitation, as using it too much drains Tien’s vitality and can even kill him. ta. Tien’s first death was the result of using this technique to try (and fail) to kill Nappa.

3. So who is stronger?

By this point in Dragon Ball, both Krillin and Tien were surprisingly outclassed by the franchise’s powers. However, the reality is that none of them can keep up with the Saiyans. Both still prove to be creative fighters, using technique and strategy intelligently to overcome stronger enemies, surviving most of the series.

This is perhaps best shown in the Cell Saga of Dragon Ball Z and the Universe Survival Saga of Dragon Ball Super. Fighting Android and Cell was nearly impossible for both, but Krillin still demonstrated his ability to survive a direct hit from Perfect Cell, while Tien held off Semi-Perfect Cell (almost). at the cost of his life) using Shin Kikohou.

Additionally, both were members of universe 7 during the Tournament of Power. Although Krillin was eliminated before Tien, he was able to take down three opponents, one more than Tien. Shinhan is also the next warrior eliminated from the battle after Krillin. While Tien may be more technically powerful, Krillin has more creativity and tactical intelligence, along with more experience against tougher enemies and (barely) surviving.

If the two fought, Krillin could surpass Tien. But while Krillin found peace with his family in Dragon Ball Super, Tien’s training never stopped. That means Tien might actually be stronger than Krillin at this point, as strength doesn’t always guarantee victory in Dragon Ball.
