Not gonna lie, it did catch me off guard back in the day. Guess I should've seen it considering that little kissing moment right there but damn.

Krillin truly was the luckiest son of a bitch on earth.

>Krillin is the strongest human
>Actually a good guy
>Saw her as a human after she became an Android
>Tried to protect 18 against Cell
>Tried to use a wish for 18
>They now have a kid to keep them together

It was surprising, but not unrealistic.

>realism
>anime

kys op

It's not. He's the only person that didn't see her as a monster.

Krillin regularly alternates between the strongest and the second strongest human being on the planet. She has an in built desire to kill Goku and if she's gonna marry a manlet anyway she might as well date the one without the inferiority complex. Really what better option did she have?

God the writing in the Androids/Cell arc was terrible.

Dragon Ball isn't known for healthy romance or great writing.

Yeah it’s pretty stupid, although the same can be said about literally every romantic pairing Toriyama has ever written except for Gohan/Videl. For the most part he just writes male and female characters separately and then just later crackpairs them together.

Teenage Gohan and Videl is the only time he actually wrote characters with the specific intention in mind of making a compatible match for each other.

18 likes Krillin's style, and she has a fetish for being bigger. Don't disrespect her fetish.

how did Krillin make a kid with 18? Isn't she an android?

it's been awhile, so idk maybe i missed something from the anime.

krillin used the 7 dragonballs to give 18 some working ovaries

Don’t think about it too hard.

The only healthy romance I can think of is Gohan and Videl

It's fiction
No way a manlet could score something like 18 in real life
Maybe if he had money she'd marry him while fucking Chad

She's a cyborg. She has human parts.
>then why is she called an android
Beats the fuck outta me.

Bad translation more than anything.

They made a good looking kid.

She just needed to legally satiate her /ss/ fetish by the way of midgets and manlets.

You mean both characters in DBZ. As soon as she lost the twin tails, their characters never recovered again.

He just wanted some pussy. Everyone here would do the same fucking thing especially since she had absolutely nothing to do afterwards.

That award goes to Trunks and Future Mai

Trunks and Mai isn't any more unrealistic than Bulma and Vegeta, and other pairings Toriyama came up with.

Attached: hqdefault.jpg (480x360, 14K)

Mai is a hag

Nah, that is “*ncel is nice to girl and she immediately falls in love with him” unbelievable fantasy tier nonsense.

First off, why was Krillin even nice to her? Ask yourself if he would he have been so cordial with her were she not a hot girl? The answer is no. Krillin if anybody has been shown that he doesn’t show fucking mercy to his enemies unless somebody convinces him too.

He literally only tried to save her from cell because he wanted to bang her. And then we’re supposed to believe 18, who is clearly familiar enough with the world to understand what’s fashionable and what isn’t, just thinks “ok I’ll marry this bald midget purely only because he tried to save me”? It was a nonsense romance.

dunno. I've seen plenty of manlets with hot girls.
dudes care more about that shit than women.

Yeah but women don't really choose men for their aesthetic appeal anyways. Being tall and good looking can just get you into their pants easily, even if they're in a relatiionship

17 and 18 don't have an "in built" desire to kill Goku. That's 16. His primary directive is "kill Goku". He reacts very rudely when Goku asks him to be friends.

According to suplementary material, the mechanical parts of the Androids aren't what we think when we think "machines". Meaning, their mechanical parts are made of a sort of "biometal" that mimics human parts. The only completely mechanical part they had was their bombs, which Shen Long removed.

How many low confidence bald manlets who live with a hermit on a tiny island have you seen with hot girls? It would be one thing if Krillin was wooing some random human thot by showing off his supernatural strength but 18 is literally more powerful than Krillin. It’s a completely ridiculous and unbelievable pairing.

I'm pretty sure it's mentioned in the manga that 18 fell for Krillin because he was a "straightforward" person.
Also, remember both her and her brother were delinquents in their teens (they're also orphans). Opposites attract, etc.

>I'm pretty sure it's mentioned in the manga that 18 fell for Krillin because he was a "straightforward" person.
No, that was Toriyama saying in an interview.

>Krillin is a straightforward person

Except he’s not and he’s never been. Krillin is literally the most insecure but craftiest Z-fighter. He mainly gets by using trickery.

Krillin may not have had the strength to match the androids but he had balls at times. He tried to reason with them to stop their hunt for Goku and he went against the sensible option of deactivating 18 to help her escape (and obviously fuck her senseless.)
After they hooked up, he proved himself again by charging against Super Buu in an effort to let 18 escape with Marron. Sure it didn't work, but the effort is what counts.

>I prefer her Z look
That can be applied to every character

I love how Toriyama got so pissed at Toei for removing their scenes in the retellings that he forced them to make their future counterparts a couple.

Why is Krillin such a manlet in a first place? Is it ever explained?

Some people are just short.

She was pretty cute in GT, if there's ever a time skip in Super I hope they use this design.

Attached: 1510345871565.jpg (665x480, 35K)

Just keep her eyes black

I don't really see how it is unrealistic. Especially considering 18 was brought up differently and not exposed to the same cultural ideals of men. You can see a lot of this highly attractive woman with a man far out of her league in other countries. Women look for other things than men, almost universally financial security and a good father for her kids.

This doesn’t seem impressive when you consider ALL the Z fighters display high levels of bravery even more so than Krillin. Krillin is actually a pussy compared to the other Z-fighters.

There is really nothing impressive about what Krillin did in terms of bravery. I mean Vegeta insisted on fighting against 18 despite knowing full well she would kick his teeth in.

>financial security
About that

Actually, she probably only marry Vegeta for benefit.

>alien Technology
>Powerful descendants
>Protection against powerful beings.
>Space knowledgeable.
>Etc.

Attached: Trunks&Goten.png (951x1024, 952K)

That was more out of pride than bravery.

I'm pretty sure Krillin is financially secure considering that he's a cop.

Oh yeah I wasn't talking about Krillin but more so in real life. Although Krillin proved he was a good hearted person with his wish so that definitely did him favours.

No he didn't. He tried to but Shenron said it couldn't happen. Instead he wished to take the bombs out of 17 and 18. They're both human it's just that they're cyborgs which Gero called androids.

they're actually cyborgs so originally humans who were kidnapped and modified even though they're called androids. Goku literally points out how confusing this is in the Cell Saga. In Japanese they're called Artificial Humans but its also the same word for Android so thats probably their basis for the translation

Didn't 18 said that his salary wasn't enough?

well most of them actually were androids, like 16. Its just that 17 and 18 were Cyborgs but Dr Gero didnt want to make new names I guess

C18 is an android not a 3DPD femoid so she doesn't have to act like one

>can summon flesh and soul across space time
>cant return cyborgs to normal
Shenron sucks

He's got 3 legs so no

18 is greedy, she blackmailed Mr Satan for millions.

Vegeta knowing anything about space or science has never come into play. She still relies on Goku more for protection since her husband is a jobber. I don't know if she is a eugenicist. She does acknowledge Vegeta as being a price despite being the price of nothing.

I'm comparing Krillin to the other human characters, mainly Tien and Yamcha. The saiyans have a tendency to fight and that overrules all other senses, so it's hard to find bravery in their actions when it can equally be attributed to some instinctive aggression. I think Tien displays the highest bravery in the series, especially with his suicidal Kikoho attack against Cell and Buu, but he's also a recluse and not very well adjusted socially speaking. Krillin leans closer to Yamcha in being an easygoing guy, but Yamcha seems to bow out of the series around the Cell arc while Krillin stays on a bit longer with the actions I spoke about in my previous post. Granted, it's not the best love story in the world, but in a world of limited super people and the two main ones are already taken, Krillin is the next best option. Yamcha was cheating on Bulma at this time and Tien seems to be strongly asexual, or leans on Chaotzu for that.

Toriyama just didn't want to kill off a nice piece of ass.
And wanted to get Krillian laid.
That's all.

It made no sense and still makes no sense.
Dude has gotten pussy before and he just met this chick.
The fuck bro.

Weird since the anime already gave him a girlfriend in the form of a bulma clone thot.

>17 and 18 don't have an "in built" desire to kill Goku.
Isn't that just because they weren't finished in this timeline, and the reason they're so sadistic in Trunks' time is because their reprogramming was complete?

There are actually 3 types of Artificial Humans.
Since there's no single word in English as 人造人間 (Jinzoningen), they were all treated as "Androids", which is another translation of 人造人間.

17, 18 and 20 are Cyborgs
16 and 19 are Androids
Cell is a Bioroid

>all those doujins with krillin getting NTR’d
no one buys it

>financial security
Literally shittier than 18 at bringing financial security.
>a good father for her kids.
Ok this is perhaps the one thing Krillin might be good at.

Krillin is: bald, an ultra manlet, meek, lives with his old teacher in a single room house on an isolated fucking island, physically weaker than 18, and not particularly confident or charismatic

What exactly is 18 supposed to be attracted by? His ultimately futile attempt to try and save her from being absorbed by cell? Wow, I’m sold.

In the future timeline, there was no 16 to serve as their conscience. Given their past as delinquents, it's not a stretch to imagine that they'd just wander around after killing Gero, then once they killed the first Z Warrior, all went to hell. They also "had their fun" in the present timeline, but 16 was there. He didn't exactly stop them, but he was more like an unknown factor, I think? In the future they didn't have that, so 17 and 18 were unrestrained from the beginning.

>DUDE IF YOU'RE KIND TO WOMEN THEY FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU
Are you overweight and wear a trenchcoat by any chance

>Vegeta kills you and then fucks your gf
did Yamcha ever manage to UNJUST himself?

If that were true then Gero would still be alive in Trunks timeline.

No, 17 and 18 ran wild for decades without the robot version of their father acting being a good role model.

As a matter of fact...16 nor 19 was never created in Trunks timeline.

not to mention he has some dirty ass feet

ITT: a bunch of delusional Subaru’s who think a girl will be attracted to them just because they tried to save them.

I think, in 18's case she was sheltered ever since she was a child and had basically 2 men in her life it's not entirely ridiculous the first man she meets who tries to woo her and makes an altruistic wish for her and her brother (that she wouldn't have known of) would leave a deep impression. That and being a cyborg we don't know what her tastes are. Would need to see 17's wife to draw some conclusions.

I know I've been batting for Krillin in this thread, but you're 100% right. You'd have a better chance of actually firing a kamehameha.

Honestly, in universe she picked the next best man on Earth. Goku and Vegeta were already taken, Tien is some celibate monk and Krillin is the strongest human on Earth. Unless she was into incest...

>Krillin is the strongest human
today I shall remind them

Attached: 2kkv6w97bcmz.jpg (1024x768, 213K)

Nope, nope, wrong, and cope. 18 wasn’t some autismo who was locked away from the world her whole life. She showed completely girly interests and wherewithal after she broke from Dr Gero’s control. Her and 17 when on a dang road trip and she insisted they stop to buy new clothes, and was upset they didn’t have anything fashionable.

18 was not mentally or emotionally stunted. She is one of the most normal characters in the series.

What's unrealistic about it? Krillin proved to be a stand-up guy and had the balls to stand up to an antagonist that even the strongest among them were scared shitless of in the name of getting some tang. He's a dwarf and isn't the best of lookers but he had qualities that 18 was clearly into. Unexpected, sure, but not unrealistic.

I mean sure she seemed normal but taste wise you can't rule it out when she goes out of her way to flirt with him and ends up marrying him.

did she grew a nose out of nowhere?

In the DBS manga was also stated that the bomb shenron removed from her and 17 was also what made them be evil in the first place

Tbhfamalam, Krillin does has some very good traits and I don’t actually mean to shit on him. he’s one of my favorite characters in Z. I’m just arguing his romance with 18 is dumb as fuck, but Krillin is smart and crafty, able to maintain relevance in fights despite not even being all that powerful, and he might be a natural coward but he shows true balls by overcoming his cowardice which is inherently more impressive and respectable than only being brave because you’re actually a just a reckless moron like the average Saiyan.

Krillin is genuinely the best human and would realistically be able to attract pussy. Just not in the way that Toriyama wrote the pairing.

Their relationship is still pretty silly though. Why would 18 even feel compelled to get in a relationship with one of the Z-fighters? Is she trying to breed strong children or what is exactly her goal? He’s not particularly rich in the money, looks, or confidence department obviously.

Based larping virgin

>Why would 18 even feel compelled to get in a relationship with one of the Z-fighters?
Could it possibly be because Krillin got the chance to wish for almost anything in the world and he decided to spend it on 18 and her brother? Money, power, infinite pussy, but he decides to spend it them instead.

>implying it doesn't work that way
virgin confirmed

If an ugly fat chick used a wish on saving you, would you feel obligated to marry her?

only virgins think being nice to women will get them laid. real life isn't an anime.

Krillin isn't an ugly fat chick, though. Dude's fucking jacked.
>would you feel obligated to marry her
18 didn't, though. She just gave him a chance and it apparently worked out.

He’s completely right though. Girls aren’t going to want to sleep with you simply because you’re nice to them. That’s not to say the answer to attracting girls is acting like an asshole, it’s just a multitude of factors. The 3 most important of which are: confidence, money, and good looks.

they do if you are honestly kind to everyone, not just to the women you are interrested in

>Krillin isn't an ugly fat chick

He’s a submissive financially poor manlet. Yes he is an ugly fat chick.

It's agreed that Krillin won right?

Krillin isn’t actually kind to everyone though see It was actually out of character for him to want to save 18, and the reason was the fact that he obviously wanted to bang her.

Not him but have you heard of the term "sneaky fucker"? Being nice to girls at a time they're most emotionally susceptible, or pretending to be that nice gay friend can help bottom tier men get laid.

Might help them get laid, isn’t gonna help them get in a long lasting substantial relationship.

That doesn't change the fact that making a wish to give them the chance at normal lives was enough for 18 to give him a chance and whatever happens off-screen was enough for them to get hitched. It's not an obscene story when you look past the face value of their looks.
>Financially poor
He was rubbing elbows with the owners of the Capsule Corporation. Is it a problem if he had an average job with above-average pay when Bulma basically gives free shit to her close friends on a very regular basis? 17 got a YACHT for FREE.

this porn or just teasing?

To be fair that's a different argument. Point is being nice can get men laid as long as you're crafty and not bring overt about it.

>Becomes baseplayer
>Still gets beat by alien monkeys
>Lives alone in shitty apt alongside his cat

yamcha is an incel

Better question is why 18 doesn't call herself her birth name (Lazuli).

>Sucks at baseball

The English translation wrongly calls them Androids, 18 and 17 are called Cyborgs in the French version at least. Only 16 and 19 are pure Androids.

Japanese refers to them as Artificial Humans which can be interpreted as Androids (especially given that every Android produced by the RR Army was actually an android prior to 17 and 18)

>Orange Star City
It's now Satan City.

Krillin is /fit/ for a manlet and manlets usually have huge cocks compared to lanklets.

What is realistic is Bulma getting together with the man that killed her ex boyfriend and friends and always treated her like dirt even after letting him stay in her home.

Plot hole. Gero intended 18 and 17 to be obedient. Why would he deliberately give them a bomb that makes them do the exact opposite?

This but unironically

This is what Toriyama said.

>How did Kuririn and #18 get married?

"A lot happened in that seven-year period. #18 had never met someone like Kuririn, so honest and unsophisticated. You could say that she gradually came to fall for him. At least, in my head that's the sort of love story that I thought would do it. For Bulma and Vegeta too, I guess. However, I definitely wouldn't draw that in the manga. It'd just be embarrassing. I leave that kind of lovey-dovey stuff to my friend Masakazu Katsura."

If you're Krillin WHY WOULDN'T YOU BREED WITH 18?

If we ever get to this part I hope that Bra, Marron and Pan become somewhat decent fighter.

Maybe I don't want to be with a delinquent?

WHats with the manlet racism ? you think that because we are manlets we cant get laid with super hot women ???

How he acts inside and out of combat are two different things. He has to rely on craftiness and trickery to make up for the massive differences in power that he faces whenever he's put on the spot, but that doesn't mean his personality is the same way. He isn't exactly relying on shit like pocket sand or curare-tipped brass knuckles either, he's just making use of the martial arts that he's learned to take advantage of the situation.

What is it with NTRfags and ,Android 18? It's like they're obsessed with 18 cucking Krillin. Are that that assblasted that they got together and have a happy life?

Yes.

Not entirely imo. He spent most of his young life literally unable to speak to women and finally got over the fear. At that point, he was still muscular, handsome, had a full head of hair, attractive scars, and was a famous baseball player, so it's not entirely out of the question that it either went to his head or that his lack of experience caused him to be seduced by another woman while he was with Bulma. He's not shown to be a womanizer but he is shown to be something of a clown, so I'd personally expect the latter moreso the former.

18 NTRcucks are the worst type of people. Rather than just making porn where she unapologetically fucks faceless men and/or fat ugly bastards, they have to turn it into cuckoldry because you can't make good porn of Krillin fucking 18 (but hentai featuring male characters is almost always garbage anyway, so it's okay)
