KRILLIN.... DRAGON BALL Episode 101 REACTION | DB

[@nStickzz]

Man people who never saw anything dragon ball related before this... it was SHOCKING to see Krillin a main character killed like this

[@claudioadriano5422]

This is the first time Krillin die. Now you understand why Goku get so furious that he transformed into Super Sayan when Frieza killed Krillin again in the Namek saga. Goku thought that Krillin could never be revived again, since at that time the dragon balls could only resurrect people once.

The truck driver holding his hat there is low key hilarious because, to him, he just killed a kid with his vehicle and he's standing there mourning.

[@christophermedina4849]

The moment Goku says “Krillin- wait..” I’m just about ready to let the tears flow. On a lighter note: remember in DBZ Abridged when Dr. Gero told the Z fighters he spied on them since *this* tournament Goku said “Ooh I remember that one, I got hit by a car!”

[@RepublicOfUs]

I was just about to mention the DBZA thing. I love that hitting the car seems to be a happy memory for Abridged Goku.

[@Skrulzie]

I stated this in Aimin's video but Goku acting weird near Krillin's death was meant to signify Goku feeling an evil power nearby or at the very least the first true uneasy feeling he ever felt. Just like in Z when ki control is mastered better the Z warriors could feel if an ally was dying or suffering from fatigue as their power would dwindle rapidly. At this early stage I believe it was Goku first feeling something was wrong and when Krillin was killed Goku felt his presence get snuffed out. This is only a theory but one I believe makes sense to many first viewers

The way the fight between Goku and Tien ends is really satisfying. But the way the next arc starts is so chilling...

[@ilyas_elouchihi]

Fax, I like how it ended

[@KingKidGoku32794]

I like how goku knew something was gonna happen to Krillin and was the one who found Krillin This is when i say the Anime beat the manga in the manga they all heard Krillin scream and they all ran back together to see what happened

[@wills.364]

The end of this episode is really sad. This is when Goku truly experienced sadness and regret when Krillin died

[@explosivedude8295]

The second time this happens, he turns into a super saiyan.

[@c.k.6939]

Rare moment from the anime where there'll be no filler episodes between arcs. This one starts as soon as the previous one ends. This is also the first time the story gets the more serious tone and higher stakes people would usually associate with DBZ.

[@coreyortiz9913]

Goku's face in sheer panic as he was running to go check on Krillin is crazy its no wonder he turned Super Saiyan after Krillin was killed by frieza. he thought he would never see Krillin again because he was already brought back to life before so it sent him over the edge

[@kaialone]

Toriyama *has* revealed in supplementary material that after Launch disappears from the narrative in Z, she does in fact go to live with Tien and Chiaotzu for a while- But she grows tired of their lifestyle (they have their own farm) and moves out, presumably becoming a truck driver like we see in the Buu arc - but she does still visit Tien and Chiaotzu a lot

[@thedarkknight2221]

How many franchises would have the guts to begin one saga by ending the other saga with the death of a beloved character! I remember as a kid watch this episode knowing Krillin comes back to life by the beginning of DBZ and still crying.

[@AnActualDinosaur]

There was a bit of mistranslation when Roshi talked to Tien about his win. In the original, Roshi tells Tien that "luck is also a skill", which is why his win was valid (according to Roshi). It sounds a bit like nonsense, but I guess the meaning is supposed to be about how you need to be ready to handle any situation that comes your way, no matter how crazy, and that Goku should've done something to avoid that car (so he didn't "develop his luck skill" enough).

[@Sephiroth144]

Remember, the "monster" took a list of names from the tournament; Krillin was ON that list, so he was eliminated. The Host? He was just there.

Actually, Krillin is murdered off-screen, and only reason Goku knows what happened is that sensed him calling out.

This is where things get really serious really quickly. Poor Krillin.

[@tesseracttitan6445]

The way, Roshi just trolls Tien during their psychic conversation it’s just too funny

This is the first time Goku felt such rage. He knows Krillin can be revived with the Dragon Balls, so that’s why I think his rage doesn’t explode like it does later on.

THIS episode marked a irreversible switch in the series that would lay the foundation that leads directly to Dragon Ball Z, kudos on making it there xD! Its going to be a wild ride from here on out.

[@She-Devil94]

That Kamehameha that Goku used to hit Tenshinhan in mir air is the one that he saved in the beginning of the match, when he realised he couldn't hit Tenshinhan with it. Had Goku fired that Kamehameha back then, he would have been out of energy here to fight back. It really shows how smart Goku is when it comes to fighting.

@@michaelwilder9938 First of all, while not realy getting together, they did had some Imteractions whenever they met, giving him a defined Relationship whit another Hero. In Z, Tien was just the silent levelheaded Guy who isnt Piccolo. He wasnt good enough to be a Vegeta, and he had to much dignity to be a Joke like Yamchu, not what this Fate was much better. After his Charakterark in this Saga, and his failed Attempt to be a Hero in the King Piccolo Saga, he kinda just existed. At best you can say hes the Guy whos severely underpowered, but able to deal Damage by sacrificing Lifeforce, but thats at best a Combatrole. It comes up three times, and failed once. There is just nothing interesting about him in Z, besides this small Nieche as Fighter.

I recently heard the manga described the same way you did the show. Not a complex story but fun and comfortable, and easy read you can really get into. As for what happened, I like to think Krillin took the aggro to save the non-combat announcer. Just head canon, but we all know he's that kind of guy.

[@NeddyMontz]

4:24 - 4:45 Goku using the Kamehameha to shoot himself into Tien, was INSANE 8:55 - 9:15 I can't with the look on your face when Launch took out her gun 🤣🤣🤣 Also, it was Master Shen's idea for Chiaotzu to paralyze Goku. Chiaotzu was only following orders. 13:20 - 13:59 Launch having a crush on Tien, was surprising

I grew up watching DBZ and everything after that. But I’ve never watched the original. Been going on this journey with AniMelon and just experiencing Dragon Ball for the firs time. I never really go around to watching it. But this episode shocked me. I was not expecting it to end like that. Dang 😢

[@Vuirotto-]

love your reactions ♥

[@sephirotgxr]

It's funny how you felt something was wrong way before it happened. "This isn't that kind of anime, it's a gag manga" And then it happens

[@edward18517]

This was the episode I couldn't believe when I was little. The Japanese VHS tapes my parents had ended at this episode and Krillin dying was...my god. I have never felt a shock like that in my life. It completely flipped everything and made the whole series begin to feel so dire. That bit of Krillin going back for Goku's stuff is just haunting. One thing I was always pissed about though was the English version of this. In Japan this is where the second intro started being used in the series, but in English, even on the DVDs, they only ever just play the first intro of the series the entire way through the series x_x But god damn do I love the Announcer XD any tournament without him in the series is automatically worse. When I was little my mom painted a picture of him on his sky-shark-jet thing for me and my brother's Playroom wall. "Skydancing?" Yep ^_^ that's the technique's name. Well, technically "Dancing Sky Art", but it's basically the same thing.

[@countprophet5881]

The weird thing is that from watching other reactors to OG Dragon Ball it appears that they do include the second opening online, but it largely depends which streaming site you’re watching it on.

[@realAndresilver]

8:13-8:18 LMFAO! That's some shit you would except from TFS

[@abc123tiktok]

DB ws always fun but this is when they took it up a level of actual feeling like a great show. They might have hammed up the foreshadowing too much but up til this point they never killed off a main character before.

[@calebcardinal3867]

3:22 flying is classified as a ki technique and therefore has its own name. In dragon ball, specially here they call the technique sky dancing, but later I think they all call it “flight” or simply flying. It’s why in super during the tournament of power, “flight” is banned but people who have wings are still allowed to fly

[@rockmacher]

OH MY GOD! THEY KILLED KENNY!! I mean Krillin. YOU BASTARDS!!

[@realAndresilver]

*One of,if not the best Dragon ball episode so far*

[@darknessunknown4384]

And so ends another arc; and sadly, Krillin's life. Next up, what is widely considered the show's best arc, the King Piccolo arc. I will be adding Krillin's death to the counter (it's cruel, I know; but sadly it counts as an entry); but I'm waiting until next episode, when the death is shown.

[@arshishbalaporia7088]

This is why when Goku goes Super Saiyan it hurts so bad!! The last time Krillin died, Goku felt responsible since he wasn't there!! The next time he died, Goku was right there and he couldn't do anything about it!! That is why Goku was ruthless against Frieza! That explosion of anger is what triggered his Super Saiyan transformation!

7:49 Personally I've always struggled to decide on who is stronger here between tien,goku or roshi if he went buff mode so I just put them all at the same power level.

[@Tuning3434]

That is fair I would say. Pure brute strength Tien might be stronger, Goku has greater stamina and Roshi better technique and the experience. I think Roshi could have done more to get into Tien's head if he really desired a win in the fight. This fight also really shows Goku is quite the cunning fighter, he learned how to judge strength and when to save his energy to strike at the best opportune moment. With this tournament arc ending, we've also seen the last of the silly tournament fights. Every other fight in the next tournament will be important for story and character development.
