While it is pretty clean to even the most casualDragon Ballfan thatGokuis far more hefty than Krillin on a cosmic scale , one of their early adventures proves that Goku is , weirdly enough , a worse battler than Krillin for one surprising reason .
Goku and Krillin first met inDragon BallChapter 25 by Akira Toriyama after the nose - less battler spank his way to Master Roshi ’s island to demand the world - class soldierly creative person to instruct him in the ways of fight . Roshi accept Krillin as his student , at which degree Krillin realized that Roshi already had another student : Goku . So , Krillin made it hismission to be better than Gokuin every aspect of their training , until finally the two grow close enough through their shared experience that they became friends , and even something more closely kin to brothers . When their training terminate , Goku and Krillin were given the opportunity to prove the accomplishment they learned as Master Roshi allowed them to enter a tourney know as the Tenkaichi Budoukai – a chemical chain of event that led to Krillin show off the one vantage he has over Goku in battle .

InDragon BallChapter 36 by Akira Toriyama , Krillin has entered the ring of the Tenkaichi Budoukai against a vile attack aircraft known as Bacterian who uses his repelling malodour as a artillery . It was say that Bacterian had never bathed in his biography , and give way his incredibly expectant form , all the fighter has had to do is use his heavy strength to hold his opponents down and allow the disgusting smack emanating from his dead body to force them to bow . While that move would ferment on most hero , the attack did n’t process on Krillin due to the fact thatKrillin does not have a olfactory organ .
Because of Krillin ’s deficiency of a nozzle – something that has been met with abundant critique and confusion among the fandom – he is really a superior hero to Goku in this specific circumstance . While Krillin is able to endure Bacterian ’s stench because he is simply insensible by it , Goku would lose to Bacterian in a endorsement because he not only has a nozzle , but his sense of smell is heightened . Goku describes his heightened sensory faculty as being as sensitive as a dog ’s olfactory organ , so even being on the outskirts of the sphere during Krillin and Bacterian’sfight was almost too much for Gokuto take whereas Krillin was n’t even phased .
While the idea that Krillin is better at one scene of fight than Goku seems absurdly mirthful by today ’s standards , that was n’t the case in their earlyDragon Ballstories . Goku was remove the series ’ admirer and had a exponent inside of him that allowed him to be an insanely skilled and knock-down belligerent , but when he cultivate alongside Krillin , the two were practically evenly matched . So , when it was revealed that Krillin had a way to overcome an foe that Goku could n’t , it was n’t as striking as it would be today given the fact thatGoku is battle actual gods in spacewhile Krillin is an earthbound family valet .
Despite where they ended up , one of the earliest chapter ofDragon Ballproves thatGokuis really a worse fighter than Krillin in any situation where having a heightened good sense of smell , or even just having a nozzle in general , is a financial obligation .
