Krillin

Registered records for Krillin before world filtering: death 3, revival 3, killing 2. Counts describe entries, not people or lifetime totals. Death sources include Chapter 134 and Chapter 317.

The filter uses the world where the event occurred, not the character’s origin. Distinct future branches remain separate entries.

Cases kept outside the counts

These notes preserve uncertainty or explain a counting boundary. They are not added to death or revival totals.

Not countedMain world

Tambourine's reported total of six is not treated as a confirmed death toll

After killing Giran, Tambourine reports a cumulative total of six. However, he had previously reported Goku as killed even though Goku survived. Because it is unknown whether Goku was included in that total, this site does not treat six as a confirmed count or add three unnamed people to the known victims Krillin, Nam, and Giran. This does not mean that there were no other victims.
