@undeadpool: @oursin_360: @bbalpert: *Pushed up glasses* Actually Tien remained stronger than Krillin basically throughout the series. You just think Krillin would be stronger just because Tien is never around but in actually he is not around because he is the only human character to never stop training. Just looking at his feats of delaying Cell and he managed to deflect an attack by Gotenks and Piccolo Super Buu. Krillin has nothing that even compares.
Also the last comment on Krillin strength is during Resurrection of F when 18 states that Krillin is much weaker than her. I would put Tien roughly in the same ball park as 18 when he held off semi-perfect Cell. As 18 witness that feat and if she was able to put out an attack of the magnitude with her infinite energy reserves she would have. Tien clearly got an upgrade in power in the Buu saga. If he is actually stronger than 18 or not I don't know. But I don't think he would be classified as much weaker than her like Kirllin. She would only be stronger due to the android advantage would be my guess.
But Toriyama has flipped flopped on this issue a bunch of times over the years as he is wont to do about everything. But the main reason behind his flip flopping seems to be if or if not Tien counts as a human. Tien is confirmed to be a decedent of a three eye clan who Toriyama can't decide if they are earthlings or in fact aliens.
Honestly i haven't kept up with the new stuff, I need to watch Resurrection and DB super. I'm not sure if i count 18 as human either since she was transformed from an android. Also never sure if tien and choatzu are human, but I don't think his tri beam attack makes him stronger than krillin honestly. If you go by that then goku was stronger than radditz when they fought, but it was more so a concentration of all his Ki rather than him being actually stronger. I just wish they kept the Z fighters relevant honsetly, they all became fodder besides saiyans. Even piccolo could barely keep up by the end ;-(
Also Solar Flare is up there with Destructo disk IMO
Did you see Battle of Gods? Cause it's also quite good. But Resurrection F is ONE of my FAVORITE pieces of DBZ media ever and, in my opinion, the best movie they've ever done. How Freeza comes back is PERFECT, the animation is gorgeous, it's funny and there are TONS of wonderful fanboy moments.
THAT being said, @ryuku_ryosake: first of all, THANK you for adjusting those glasses, it was driving me CRAZY. And while Tien was, and frequently is, on my mind: I still think based on Resurrection F that Krillin takes it. 18 not getting to fight is the ONLY part of that movie I legit don't like cause how COOL would it have been to see her right there on the FRONTLINES?? Have Videl look after your stupid, weird baby and have HUSBAND AND WIFE fight side-by-side!
That aside, I do think Tien probably surpasses him as, you're right, he never stops training. Krillin becomes a family man and a cop, but Tien just keeps going...also: how great is it that there's a line where he says "Yeah, Yamcho and Choatzu ain't showing up, this is REAL..." And I also agree that I wish the show hadn't become The Saiyan Show by the Freeza Saga. Piccolo's always been #1 in my heart...
ALSO *pushes up glasses of my own* 'Android' seems to be a bad translation: 17 and 18 are humans who were abducted and experimented on by Gero, having mechanical parts added to their biological forms. They are cyborgs, not androids.
