Mayumi Tanaka is known for giving voice toOne Piece’s Monkey D. Luffy. For the past 25 years, the fans have listened to her voice and cannot imagine anyone apart from her. While the voice artist has gained worldwide fame, only a few know that she voiced Krillin from theDragon Ballfranchise.
Krillin is one of the oldest and most iconic characters in theDragon Ballfranchise. Son Goku also considers him as his best friend. While talking about their relationship, Tanaka mentioned that Krillin is like Chi-Chi. He can pose a challenge to her since he can be Goku’s wife.
Chi-Chi Should Be Careful Of Krillin
Mayumi Tanaka believes Krillin could be a great wife to Goku. Even though both of them are married to two beautiful ladies, she thinks otherwise. Krillin always held Goku in high regard and deeply cared for him. During the Saiyan and Namek Saga, he wished Goku was with him since he was not strong enough to face Vegeta or Frieza.
During aninterview,Mayumi Tanakasaid,
At any rate, Kuririn really loves Goku (laughs). That’s why he waited for Goku during the battle with Vegeta and on Planet Namek. He’s really in the position of a wife, going, “I’m no match for these guys, so get here quick, Goku~!” (laughs) He just might make a better wife for Goku than Chi-Chi (laughs).
Goku andKrillinspent days together at the Kame House. They trained under the Turtle Hermit, became strong warriors, and faced several adversaries together. Their bond is so strong that Frieza killing Krillin triggered Goku’s Super Saiyan transformation. In a way, the bald fighter is responsible for gifting the anime fandom the most iconic transformation ever. Moreover, if Goku did not love him back, he would have never felt so much rage after his death.
Krillin Used A SubtleOne PieceReference InDragon Ball Super
Mayumi Tanaka is one of the lucky people to have voiced characters from bothOne Pieceand theDragon Ballfranchise. While she is the main connection between the two franchises, Krillin had a subtle reference to Eiichiro Oda’s masterwork. InDragon Ball Superepisode 17, the fans can hear Krillin’s phone ring. His ringtone is“We Are,”which is the opening theme ofOne Piecein the first few seasons. This scene took place about nine minutes into the episode.
Akira Toriyamahas inspired countless manga artists, andEiichiro Odais one of them. While they belong to rival franchises, they shared a mutual respect. TheDragon Ballfranchise is regarded as the godfather of the Big Three of anime since it paved the way for them to earn worldwide fame.One Piecehas crossed the 1100+ episode mark, andDragon Ballis scheduled to release a new series namedDAIMAin October 2024.
Dragon BallandOne Pieceare currently available to watch on Crunchyroll.
