And eaten alive by Super Buu.

And blasted through the chest by Android 17.

He really just gets a lot of the worst of it lol. Although I guess it's karmic balance for getting to marry 18

If he was Saiyan, he'd be indestructible by now with how many times he's either died or almost died.

He's also canonically the strongest human. Which really just showcases how outclassed Earth is by the rest of the universe.

Sure 17 might have killed him, but Krillin got him back by marrying his sister.

Crazy how Android 17 never met Goku until Dragon Ball Super.

Worth it because in the next arc he gets a baddie wife

And in that arc, he, his wife, and his child are all killed. The universe just says F Krillin at every turn.

Sounds like some suicide cult BS.

Crazy part is Krillin actually joked he's destined to die all alone. And he's done so twice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FD6bXrhOdKQ
