Tien is obviously stronger in DB, but does Krillin pass him in Z?

We don't know for sure. It's pretty heavily debated among the DB fan base. God help us if this devolves into a Krillin Vs. Tien topic.

It's hard to say because they never fought.

Krillin got that Guru power up but Tien got King Kai's training.

So who knows?

Fans say Krillin is stronger but that might just be because he's more popular.

Would have been a cool fight to see.

The different Daizenshuus always put Tien slightly above Krillin when we got both numbers.
They also made Krillin jump from 13000 to 75000 on Namek, I guess thats one of few times where he could be stronger than Tien.

I think it is safe to say that Krillin is perhaps more diverse and a more accomplished fighter overall. Tien's only recourse in DBZ seemed to be pushing everything he has into the Tri-Beam. Yeah, it held down Cell, but he literally just poured all his energy into a few blasts and then collapsed.

Krillin, meanwhile, used strategy and actual technique to outmaneuver Frieza for some time, and developed the Destruco-Disk, a move that GOKU used recently in DBS.

Krillin also had a moment of success against Cell.

There's a bit at the start of DBZ where Tien is like "Hmm,,, sure I'll train for the Sayians... Then I'll defeat you Goku!"

Which is hilariously cute in retrospect.

Tien created the solar Flare that Krillins uses so much. Plus he has the split up technique, the four arms technique DondonRay and other stuff

DB super does good filler with the low amount it has actually. The baseball and Arale episodes were great.

The filler is legit better than like half the actual episodes lol.

I'd say Krillen is stronger from Guru's powerup until the end of the Cell Saga. When Krillen stops training before Buu Saga, Tien surpasses him him again for awhile.

More than that I'd say tbh.

Krillin doing the voices of his family is some of the best stuff in Super entirely. Old Vegeta VA doing the Vegeta clone was pretty rad as well, for how bad the stuff around it was.

krillen saved 18 from getting kicked off the field early in the tournament of power and she went on to be one of the fighters who beat the highest number of fighters so she was crucial to universe 7s dominance in the tournament

if not for him she would have lost early in thanks to a sucker punch. plus he knocked off a fighter on his own
tien did as well but it wasnt as cool

thats about it for krillen
though krillen did motivate 18 to defeat universe 2s strongest fighter


ill show the clip

Daizenshuus are like supplemental encyclopedias for Dragon Ball that were released in Japan. They are guidebooks with a bunch of info like power levels and such.

I wouldn't trust the power levels in the Daizenshuus, to be honest. During the Namek saga, they just stop making a lick of sense (so pretty much when power levels stop being provided in the actual manga). Krillin gets a boost from the sage that makes him a bit stronger than Ginyu in Goku's body (24000), and still weaker by far than 4/5 of the Ginyu force at the time of their arrival. Tien does train at King Kai's place, the whole gang are shown to be there in like one or two panels, however the whole filler business with them taking on the Ginyu force is filler. We can only speculate how much stronger they got from that, because the only notable feats of strength from humans after Namek is when Tien does his tri beam cannon thing on Imperfect Cell and later Buu. So any sort of power ranking is pure speculation :)

But the interviews don't have to be the source of all that info, surely? Besides, as dumb as it sounds, I wouldn't really trust AT's power rankings if he was asked after the series was completed. Dude barely remembers what happens in DB, much less does he actually care. He would probably just make up random numbers, if anything at all.

for example of his poor memory
there was a character named launch who was introduced early in the series. she was there throughout most of dragon ball
she had a memorable gimmick of being innocent and sweet when her hair was blue but everytime she sneezed her hair turned blonde and she turned violent and trigger happy with guns she pulls out of nowhere.

then when DBZ started launch just kind of disappeared
a few years later a fan asked whatever happened to launch and akira answered "who?"

then when he was reminded who she was he never used her again anyway for 2 reasons

her hair color gimmick was too similar to super saiyan and he was worried that it would confuse newer readers

and he ha completely forgotten how to draw her

You're right, it looked more like full on punches that turned Cell's headaround than a measly slap, over and over and over again.
