Warning: Contains spoilers for Dragon Ball Super chapter #99. While causing division among fans, Super Dragon Ball manga adaptation of Dragon Ball Super: Superhero tried to justify its existence through small changes in the characters’ actions and Krillin‘s handling is a prime example of that. Krillin didn’t initially have a big role in Super Hero, and when he appeared, he mostly just provided moral support or comedic relief without actually contributing much to the fight.
Right from the moment it was announced, Dragon Ball Super Super Hero Arc, the comic adaptation of the movie Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero caused division among fans. The fact that the manga recapped the movie instead of telling a new story was an immediate negative, and the story largely remained the same as the original opening starring Goten and Trunks, making many people even more skeptical. feeling of excess.
Superhero Arc in manga, however, gave Krillin a much better overall performance than the movie, including correcting one of his worst moments from Dragon Ball Z, and overall, it’s awesome. The fight with Cell Max in chapter #99 of Dragon Ball Super also created miracles by helping Krillin perform better than in the movie.
The superhero part of Dragon Ball Super makes Krillin more capable than the movie
Krillin made a notable contribution in the fight with Cell Max and was injured to protect 18.
The main way the Dragon Ball Super manga improves Krillin’s personality is Krillin is much more competent in his manga adaptations Dragon Ball Super: Superhero than in the original film. For example, the opening sequence of the manga adaptation of Super Hero featured Krillin investigating the revived Red Ribbon Army, and at the end he participated in the capture of Dr. Hedo. Krillin’s police work doesn’t go much further than that, but it still allows him to be directly involved in the story unfolding the way it did, and that greatly adds to his overall abilities in the game. manga vs. movie.
The fight with Cell Max really shows that Krillin’s role in the manga is much better than in the movie. For example, Krillin has a great moment when he saves Pan from being caught up in Cell Max’s attack instead of just standing around doing nothing, and in Dragon Ball Super chapter #99, when Krillin gets caught by Cell Max defeat, which happened because he tried to protect Android 18 instead of just getting caught up in Cell Max’s attacks. It all has the effect of giving Krillin a much better performance than he had in the film, and both the story and Krillin’s overall personality are better for it.
The Dragon Ball Super manga tackles Dragon Ball Z’s worthy Krillin moment
However, one of the best ways Dragon Ball Super improved Krillin’s character was by fixing his worst moment in Dragon Ball Z: The destruction disc (kienzan) failed to hurt Cell. The Dragon Ball Z anime very infamously had an early scene of Krillin’s Destructo Disk not hurting Cell, which ignored that this was an attack that could hurt anyone and added to its reputation as a Krillin’s joke. However, in Dragon Ball Super chapter #99, Krillin’s Destructo Disk damaged Cell Max’s wing enough for Android 18 to break it, it’s both a great showcase for Krillin and a great way to make up for Dragon Ball Z’s terrible treatment of him.
Krillin, like many characters in Dragon Ball, is someone whose reputation has suffered greatly due to his poor handling of filler material, and the Destructo Disk’s failure to hurt Cell is one of the most infamous examples of this. there. Still, seeing the attack be effective against Cell Max goes a long way toward overcoming that, and overall, it’s another big factor in how much better Krillin performs in this arc.
