Who is considered the strongest "human" at this point?

[Beerus]

I was just randomly thinking about this. I don't follow the manga so I am not sure what direction that went in and could have very well introduced said character but in terms of the anime, where Super left off - Who is considered the strongest human?

 

[Giga Hertz]

Probably Krillin or Tien. They all get some shine during the Galactic Patrol Prisoner saga (even everyone's favourite useless Pokemon), but they're still fodder for Moro at the end of it.

Krillin was also the only one who showed up to fight Cell Max.

As far as the original manga goes (no super... DB only... Which is the only thing I'm interested in lulz) Kuririn was likely the strongest Earthling. Yamcha stating to himself that "among earthlings, at least [Kuririn being the most powerful]) I think is the most concrete evidence to be the author using a character as a tool to relay the info of who's the strongest Earthling. Tenshinhan had some cool entries and all, but mostly with special attacks under special off guard circumstances... It seems that Elder Namekian bringing out Kuririn's potential changed the status quo and made him a power Tenshinhan couldn't close the gap.

True, but that's also Yamcha telling that to Krillin's kid. Could just be humouring. If you also look at feats, Krillin sort of had the same effect on Imperfect Cell that Tien had on Semi-Perfect.

It's tough. I'd say they're both pretty close to each other in DBZ.

Yes, but the part about Kuririn being the strongest human wasn't told to Marom, he stated that to himself only. He told to Marom her father was the strongest of all then turned the convo to himself only and said "among earthlings, that is".

I suppose you've got a point. I guess that's the best Toriyama gave us.

Krillin is my favourite Earthling fighter, so I'm not going to argue too hard against it. I just think Tien is pretty close (and definitely ahead at various points).

Toriyama also stated in an interview that Kuririn was the strongest Earthling --- rather, the one interviewing affirmed Kuririn is the strongest Earthling and AT said yeah, he's is the strongest Earthling, but it's the same haha ---. I was going more from a only manga perspective but I think among many ppl the AT's assertion is the nail in the coffin. Still tho, I think Kuririn is stronger even going by the mang solely, but there could be valid points raised like Yamcha being unaware of his strong Ten was in the Boo saga, hence it being valid for the Cell arc only as Yamcha had aware then over their power, though as for Boo saga, its a little unclear...

Tien is the strongest Human until he and yamcha got shelved Then its Kuririn! Which could be explainned thanks to gurus Powerup!
I would show you the page but my manga are german so not much of a help!
Its During the boo Arc Tournament when yamcha calls Kuririn the strongest! To his daughter Maron! And then Kuriririn kicks puntars ass!

Edit: Sorry SUPER KAMI Guru!

Definitely Krillin. Yamcha looks away from Marron and looks at Krillin while saying this.
