10 Incredibly Tough Decisions Anime Characters Have Had To Make

Out of all the Dragon Ball characters, Krillin has had an especially difficult time. If dying twice in a brutal manner isn't bad enough, he is always trying his hardest to help his friends and his planet; yet, he can never quite save the day. Despite that, every time a crisis appears, he will unhesitatingly do his best to help.

So, when Krillin finally has the chance to decisively end one of the greatest threats Earth has ever encountered, he freezes. He refuses to do it, knowing that he can become the hero of the day, that he can save so many lives.

He wholeheartedly believes that Android 18 isn't inherently evil or is destined to ravage the planet, as her future counterpart does. Foolish or not, he destroys the shut down controller and allows 18 to maintain her autonomy as a person; such a decision takes extraordinary courage, as he very well knows the possible ramifications.

Of course, this decision ultimately results in Cell attaining his Perfect Form, killing Goku, and almost destroying the entire planet. But, that isn't all Krillin's fault, and he is certainly influenced by his romantic feelings towards 18 - after all, she does tease him AND break Vegeta's arm.
