Would Krillin be able to ride the Flying Nimbius as an adult?
When he was a kid, he was a little perverted and fell right through it.
But during Dragon Ball Z, he almost acted as the moral compass from time to time. Sympathizing with the Androids, for instance.
Do you think Krillin has changed enough to be able to ride the Flying Nimbus?

No, his desire for 18 nearly got everybody killed. Plus there was that pageant in the Android 13 movie.

I was going to say that pure-hearted in Dragon Ball typically doesn't mean morally righteous, but single-mindedly driven to one pursuit or objective, but then I remembered Gohan, Goten and Chi-Chi, who seem to lack the drive Goku has, were able to ride it by virtue of being innocent. Either way, perhaps not. Kuririn still lusts.
As an aside, by either definition, Zamasu would likely be able to ride the Kintoun, which is an amusing thought.

That is incorrect since Krillin thought that C17 and C18 were a couple, but then he found out they were twins.blacksymbiote wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 12:58 pm No, his desire for 18 nearly got everybody killed. Plus there was that pageant in the Android 13 movie.
Krillin intention in not wanting to kill C18 wasn't evil, he didn't do anything wrong. The one that was wrong was Vegeta in listening to Cell, letting Cell go and attacking anyone who wanted to kill Cell be it his allies or family.
As for the Nimbius cloud even Launch was able to ride the cloud, I can't remember if Uppa was able to ride the cloud.

That was just poor judgement and decision making more than anything. It's similar to Goku giving Cell a senzu bean.blacksymbiote wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 12:58 pm No, his desire for 18 nearly got everybody killed. Plus there was that pageant in the Android 13 movie.
I'd imagine if Launch were to sneeze while on the Nimbus, she'd fall right through it.super michael wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 4:58 pm As for the Nimbius cloud even Launch was able to ride the cloud.

I can't imagine him or most of the cast being capable of riding the Nimbus -- not even Piccolo after having merged with Kami or Tenshinhan. They still carry with them a certain degree of moralist edge that precludes them from being able to partake in the benefits of a pure moral position.

I'm saying lust still affects him as it did when the cloud wouldn't let him ride before.super michael wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 4:58 pmThat is incorrect since Krillin thought that C17 and C18 were a couple, but then he found out they were twins.blacksymbiote wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 12:58 pm No, his desire for 18 nearly got everybody killed.

Not an easy question to answer. in Dragonball anyone who couldn't be on the cloud, were assholes or perverts. So the question is, Is Krillin by Z to Super, an asshole or a pervert?
Also I dare say by Super, Goku couldn't ride Kintoun himself, for being an asshole.

Krillin is able to harness the Spirit Bomb which only the pure hearted can do.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

I don't think so. He's a normal guy, frankly, and there's no reason why his lustful feelings would just vanish. It's not even a bad thing, there isn't a single real human being who would be able to ride Kinto'un, let's face it, and Kuririn is about as close, personality-wise, to a real life human as anyone in the series.
Thanos before Thanos was cool.
