I'm not sure Karin can fly. I would think he'd have to use the nimbus.

Korin doesn't know how to fly and Yajirobe never cared to learn.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

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.

Yajirobe's too lazy to learn or train. I've heard people say he was as strong as Goku during the Piccolo arc (which I think is impossible) but if that were true then he's a disappointment to everyone.

Yajirobe is oddly the strongest human on Earth who can't use any ki.

He's leagues above Videl and Mr. Satan.

Yajirobe does have Ki control, he just limits himself due to not bothering to learn Bukujutsu or develop any Ki attacks. But yes, again, the source of Yajirobe's power comes from having control of his Ki, just as it is for 90% of the DBZ cast. Mr. Satan is the exception to the rule.

I would think Yajirobe is too lazy to care about it.
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

Does flying gives you food? No.

I've heard people say he was as strong as Goku during the Piccolo arc (which I think is impossible)
He was on the similar power level as Goku and Tien when he first met Goku. So he was stronger than Yamaha, Kuririn or Chaotzu, or even Tao Pai Pai. So back then, in Piccolo Saga he was quiet strong ;)

Can Karin even use Bukujutsu? It seems to me he just kinda levitates off the ground like Puar. Even so like everyone else has said Yajirobe is way too lazy to even care about learning something like Bukujutsu. Though flying would definitely make it easier to get food and get more of those stolen cars Yajirobe apparently likes.

It's good for him, so that he can go down the tower and up again, unless he uses some other craft.

Korin knew Yajirobe wouldn't be interested because he's too lazy and uninterested in fighting or training.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
