Krillin

Kuririn has many abilities including, super-strength, super-speed, and the ability to fly using his chi energy, also known as Bukujutsu. His main techniques include the Kamehameha, an attack he learned from Muten Roshi, which enables him to emit a powerful chi energy blast from his hands. Kakusandan, another chi attack, involves firing two blasts, one from each hand, and merging them before directing the blast above an opponent where it will break up and rain down on them. He has also been known to use the Tsuihikidan double-chi-blast attack. From Tenshinhan, he obtained the Taikyoken, an attack Kuririn is capable of using to blind his opponents, sometimes used to make a quick escape. A technique unique to him is the Kienzan (which is also known as the “Destructo Disc”) , which he does by putting his hands in the air and creating an electric floating disc, using it to slice through his enemies. Kuririn can easily manipulate his energy which allows him to manoeuver at high-speeds as shown in his fight with Piccolo Daimaoh, the Saibamen and against Garlic Jr. Kuririn has also used the Zanzoken after-image evasion technique, but on only two occasion in the anime version.

Kuririn’s appearance stays relatively the same for the majority of the series. He is first introduced (Chapter 25) at the age of thirteen, with a shaved head and still dressed in the clothing worn at the monastery he had been training at. He does not possess a nose, and sports six incense burns on his forehead, a reference to the practice of Shaolin monks. After the end of the Cell Saga Kuririn stops shaving his head, and grows his hair out.His outfit also changes as the series progress. When he first appears in Dragon Ball, he wears the yellow-and-orange garb of a monk. Later, he wears the orange-red gi that is presented to both himself and Son Goku by Muten Roshi(a.k.a.kame sen’in) in honor of their first martial arts competition. Occasionally he is seen in casual clothes, but for the most part continues to dress for training or fighting at all times. At the end of Dragon Ball and the beginning of Dragon Ball Z, he is depicted wearing an orange gi of the same design. During the latter part of the Freeza Saga, he wears Saiyan armor provided by prince Vegeta, but during the Cell Saga he returns to wearing the orange gi, accompanied by a blue short-sleeved undershirt and boots.Prior to the Majin Buu Saga, Kuririn opted to settle down with his new family, and allows his black hair to finally grow out. From this point on he is shown wearing a workout outfit consisting of a red short-sleeved shirt and brown drawstring pants. Finally, he is shown in GT sporting a moustache, wearing grey pants, shirt and tie with a cardigan in his few appearances.

Kuririn first appears in the original Dragon Ball series when he arrives at Muten-Roshi’s island to become his apprentice.  Kuririn did this because he wanted to become a powerful fighter that could impress the ladies. Originally, Goku and Kuririn were rivals, with Kuririn using dirty tricks to outdo Goku during training, but eventually they become close friends. At finishing their training, Muten-Roshi has the two compete in the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai. Kuririn makes it to the semi-finals (after defeating Bacterian in the quarter finals), but is defeated by Jackie Chun, who was really Muten-Roshi in disguise, preventing his students from becoming arrogant with too many victories. Kuririn continues to train with Roshi while Goku is collecting the Dragon Balls and helps him retrieve one of them, at which point he fights General Blue. He also participates in Baba’s tournament with Goku, Yamucha, Puar and Upa, but loses in the first fight to Fangs the Vampire.3 years later, Kuririn enters the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai. Again he makes it to the semi-finals (defeating Chiaon)but loses to Goku. Soon after however, Kuririn is killed by a henchman of Piccolo Daimao known as Tambourine. After Goku defeats Piccolo Daimao, Kuririn is revived by the Dragon Balls. Another 3 years later, Kuririn enters the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. This time however, he only makes it to the quarter-finals, losing to Piccolo Junior
