Let's Add Some CONTEXT to Krillin in Battle of Gods

The go-to thing many ppl say about Krillin in BoG is that he was a coward who ran away while his wife fought. But, who was it that didn't fight until the last moment because he was AFRAID of Beerus? VEGETA.

Yet, Vegeta doesn't get near as much hate for being cowardly. Why? Is it because Vegeta ended up fighting later? (although he was easily defeated like everyone else). Most of the fandom ignores that Krillin was going to fight Beerus. BUT, it was more important for Krillin to keep Marron and others safe.

BATTLE OF GODS, ANIME ARC

Krillin simply explains that he didn't fight Beerus because he (or 18) needs to make sure Marron is safe. But, don't forget that Krillin was about to fight Beerus when Yamcha volunteered to protect Marron for him.

In the Buu saga, Krillin fought Super Buu to buy time for 18 to take Marron & run away.

Either Krillin or 18 will fight the opponent while the other keeps Marron safe. It's as simple as that. This is nothing new. They prioritize their daughter's safety like good parents.

BATTLE OF GODS FILM, EXTENDED-CUT

In the extended-cut of BoG, which gives full context, Gohan had told Krillin to get the others out of the area. Krillin does so. Krillin isn't just running away like ppl in the fandom make it out to be.

(Although, the theatrical-cut is largely to blame for this misunderstanding.)

This is similar to when Krillin told 18 to get Marron & everyone out of the area while he buys them time as he fights Super Buu (a more powerful version of an enemy that Krillin knew Goku, Vegeta, & Gohan couldn't defeat).

I don't hear anyone saying that 18 ran away like a coward. 👂

Then, at the end of the BoG film, Beerus prepares to destroy the Earth. And what is Krillin doing this time? Krillin is the one preparing to fight Beerus instead of 18.

Keep in mind, this is after Krillin found out Beerus is an extremely powerful god that just defeated Goku in a new god form. Krillin is always ready to fight when his loved ones and the world are in danger.

So let's stop saying Krillin is a coward. Most ppl don't even know what "coward" means. Krillin fights despite fear. That is "courage" & "bravery." When he is not fighting, he is protecting.

In RoF, Roshi ran away from Freeza while Krillin and the others stayed to fight. This clearly illustrates a moment of Roshi being a "coward" & a moment of Krillin again being "courageous." But, nobody talks about that.
