Krillin Is Bald On Purpose
If you thought Goku's best friend was bald for genetic reasons, then you better think again. Dragon Ball most often sees Krillin clean shaven, but the fighter can grow luscious locks. Fans have seen Krillin with hair during the Majin Buu saga as well as in Dragon Ball GT and Dragon Ball Super.
However, when it comes fighting, Krillin finds that being bald gives him an advantage. The Z-fighter goes bald because he thinks it makes him more powerful. Krillin told Goku long ago that "all who aspire to master the martial arts shave their heads in order to unfetter their ki." So, with that in mind, it's no surprise Krillin is as strong as he is.

Way back when, Krillin died for the first time in Dragon Ball during an off-camera moment. Goku stumbled upon his friend's body after King Piccolo's son snapped the boy's neck. Sadly, the death was the first of many as Krillin died under Freeza before being eaten by Super Buu and maimed by his brother-in-law Android 17.

There might be a lot of things going against Krillin, but the ever-popular character definitely has power on his side. Dragon Ball features a slew of very powerful characters, but Krillin can call himself the strongest human alive without lying. So, take that Mr. Satan!
Krillin's power may not be on par with Goku or any Saiyan, but his strength is nothing to sneeze at.

Over the years, the fighter has faced off against Freeza's comrades and fought one-on-one with Kid Buu. Even if Krillin does take a beating, he knows how to take it well.
