Dragon Ball

Tenshinhan

Tenshinhan

Tenshinhan (AKA Tien Shinhan) was a descendant of the three-eye people and a prized student of the Crane school. He was strong, cunning, and ruthless, showing his enemies no mercy when he fought. However, that all changed when he fought Son Goku of the Turtle school. Thanks to Goku’s pure heart and admirable strength, Tien decided to abandon the evil teachings of the Crane school and hone his skills as a martial artist on his own. He is always training to improve himself, eventually rising to become the second strongest human on Earth, second only to Krillin (though even that’s debatable). Tien became a valuable asset to the Z Fighters, defending the Earth from all sorts of powerful threats. He fought when the Saiyans invaded, he helped fight against the Androids, and even attempted to stop the mighty Lord Beerus. Regardless of whether or not he can win, Tien will always jump into a fight in order to protect his friends and planet.
