Background / History

Transmigration and early transformation

Lin Fei retains memories of Dragon Ball from his previous life and operates through a system that identifies its host as “Lin Fei (Krillin).” His rapid physical transformation initially prevents Bulma from recognizing him; Master Roshi confirms his identity through ki sensing, and Krillin completes the associated system quest by recalling a shared incident 2 4 34.

His relationship with Bulma develops alongside gravity training and visits to West City. Yamcha interprets their intimacy as Krillin stealing his girlfriend, turning their tournament encounter into a public romantic rivalry. Krillin defeats Yamcha with a one-finger Inch Strike and later faces Goku in the final, where he resolves to fight alongside his friend rather than remain a supporting figure 9 12 21 22 34.

Saiyan invasion preparations

Krillin warns Bulma that Goku is a Saiyan and that his clan will eventually come to Earth. Although he easily overwhelms Raditz, a system mission requires him to hold back and guide Raditz and Goku toward a mutual kill. He feigns exhaustion to preserve Goku’s opportunity to train under King Kai 46 61.

After learning Kaio-ken and developing Saint Buddha Form, Krillin leads six months of specialized gravity training for the Z Fighters. His methods help Yamcha destroy all six Saibamen in 3.2 seconds without injury, avoiding the death specified by the original timeline. Krillin also intervenes against Vegeta rather than leaving Goku to fight alone 69 70 73 77 79 84.

Namek and Frieza

On Namek, Krillin saves Elder Moori’s village from Dodoria, drains the invader’s energy, and receives the Four-Star Dragon Ball. He subsequently visits Aki’s temple for a Sacred Baptism intended to grant Super Regeneration, defeats Zarbon, and undergoes the Grand Elder’s Potential Guidance 93 94 96 100 107.

During the Frieza battle, he deliberately avoids using Super Bald Form because an immediate victory would prevent Goku’s Super Saiyan awakening and fail his mission. He instead plans a sacrificial performance using Saint Buddha Form and Kaio-ken; later, he fights beside Goku and warns him against taking Frieza’s cutting discs head-on 123 126.

Androids, human restoration, and Earthling advancement

Krillin captures the future Android 18 and brings her to Bulma’s laboratory. After coercing her to cooperate with research, he uses a golden card to restore her human body while preserving her infinite-energy gift. She becomes Lazuli, his wife and an accepted member of the Z Fighters 151 160 161 162 179.

Following Cell’s defeat and completion of the Androids Arc quest, Krillin uses Shenron to turn Androids 16, 17, and the present Android 18 into humans without removing their strength or energy. He also obtains the Eternal Energy Reactor’s production method for Bulma. Through Project Artificial God, he arranges reactor integration for Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu, allowing all three to exceed one billion base Battle Power 196 197 203 207 210.

Ancient martial arts and the global dojo

Krillin takes a training group three hundred years into the past to study the essence of martial arts under Master Mutaito. The journey culminates in prolonged training, a demonstration in which he redirects his companions’ combined planet-destroying attack, and Mutaito entrusting him with God · Evil Containment Wave 214 217 228 230.

He later proposes the Turtle School’s global headquarters in West City: a vast dojo equipped with gravity rooms, ecological training grounds, regeneration pods, and holographic combat systems. Master Roshi is placed at its head, partly because his passive Master’s Field improves nearby students’ comprehension and ki cultivation. The headquarters is operating by Chapter 266 260 266.

Majin Buu and the Demon Realm

Krillin uses Buu as a controlled combat challenge while secretly arranging wishes through his son Trunks and Bulma. He knowingly permits Buu’s escalation to support the system’s Ultimate Saiyan Evolution mission, suppressing a sense of guilt over the risk. He nevertheless handles immediate dangers himself, including kicking a Solar System-threatening energy ball into space 294 304 311.

His attempts to manipulate Buu’s energies reveal an evil will that continually reforms under Demon Realm Laws. This draws his interest toward magical creations and prompts a carefully selected Demon Realm expedition involving Bulma, Aki, and Buu. There, his growth eventually reaches dimensional power ratings and the fusion of Divine Fist and Demon Fist 330 336 383 403.

Even with his extensive knowledge of Dragon Ball, Krillin encounters an ancient fluctuation he cannot match to any remembered storyline. Afterward, he proposes forcing the source of Dragon Ball backlash to manifest and destroying it, allowing Earth’s Dragon Balls to be upgraded without the same hidden danger 405 408.

Appearance

• Build: changes from a short fighter into a heavily muscled, 1.8-meter-tall man; future Gohan compares his physique to a humanoid Gundam 4 158.
• Head and face: remains bald and noseless despite the transformation; his scalp is repeatedly described as conspicuously shiny 5 12 158.
• Clothing: wears an orange martial arts uniform early on and a casual white training gi during his dojo proposal 5 260.

• Presence: can appear entirely ordinary through suppression, yet later releases pressure described as belonging to a higher life level 12 151.

Personality

Krillin’s confidence often comes from knowing exactly how far he outclasses an opponent. He remains calm under insults, casually provokes Yamcha’s jealousy, and treats many battles as entertainment. Deepening Saitama fusion also reduces his interest in ordinary activities, making him seem increasingly detached 5 12 16 22.

He is both protective and calculating. He vows to defend Bulma and Earth, saves Namekian civilians, and helps weaker Earthling fighters overcome their limits. At the same time, he deliberately stages defeats, withholds information from allies, and allows threats to escalate when he believes the resulting growth will serve his plans or system objectives 46 61 94 203 294 304.

His mentorship emphasizes control rather than spectacular output. He tailors training to each fighter’s weaknesses and rebukes Yamcha for releasing power recklessly. As a parent, he is similarly watchful: he worries about Bulla’s unknown divine abilities and refuses Shin’s attempt to take her as a disciple without his permission 73 134 142 210 212 282.

His romantic behavior includes a coercive side. He initially treats future Android 18 as a captive and threatens destruction if she refuses research cooperation; later, he restores her humanity and supports her new life as Lazuli. With present Android 18, he asserts a marital claim that she initially rejects 151 161 162 179 198.
