Last weekend, Dragon Ball Super returned with an explosive episode that left one universe annihilated. The folks over in Universe 9 were wiped out after Goku's crew took its team down, so the heat is on everyone else to defeat Universe 7 before their universes are dumped. However, it looks like Krillin might take his defenses a step too far.
Thanks to Todd Blankenship, fans can read up on Weekly Shonen Jump's in-depth synopsis of the next Dragon Ball Super episode. You can check out the brief for "Show It Off!! Krillin's Reserves of Strength!!" below:
"Kuririn and No. 18! Their Husband-and-Wife Power explodes!! More and more people drop out! Kuririn comes to No. 18's aid?! The annihilation of Universe 9 shows Goku and the gang just how harsh the Tournament of Power is! In the midst of a stalemate, Goku and Vegeta get the fight started again!! Meanwhile, No. 18 is in a tight spot as she battles Universe 4's warrior Shousa. Her husband Kuririn flies to her rescue and…?!"
Judging from the description above, it looks like Android 18 will get herself into a pinch once Dragon Ball Super's 99th episode goes live. The former villain will be fighting against one of Universe 4's top warriors, and Krillin won't take it well when his wife gets backed into a corner. There's no telling what Android 18 will be subjected to, but Krillin will not hesitate to save her if need be - but that means he be forced to kill someone.
The synopses for Dragon Ball Super's 100th episode have already confirmed Krillin will be eliminated from the Tournament of Power after episode 99. The fighter might get tapped out whilst taking a hit for Android 18 or breaking a silly rule like bringing a tool into battle. But, given Krillin's recent power buff, fans wonder if the warrior may accidentally kill someone.
The Tournament of Power has plenty of rules, and a top one is that fighters cannot kill others. That particular rule did not sit well with Freeza, but Krillin could be the first to break it. If a warrior were to seriously try to end Android 18, the bald martial artist would stop at nothing to take them down, and Krillin's energy blasts are nothing to mess around with. One wrong move could mean the end of someone's life, and it would be the end of Krillin's time in the Tournament of Power as well.
