<p>In the Dragon Ball series, we see tons of people dying and being revived by the dragon balls.<br>
This triggered my curiosity to know which character has the most deaths to his/her name in the whole Dragon Ball series. Who is it, and how many times did he/she die?</p>

@Dupree3 Thats what I originally taught aswell. Then I started hearing rumours that it was actually Goku that died most. As I did not watch all of them yet, and am not directly planning on I figured ill just ask and let facts support it ;P

Not so surprisingly the answer is [Krillin](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Krillin). While this page shows he died 3 times in total in the short summery and trivia part, but I found him dying a total of 5 times including everything. [Goku](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Goku) seems to have died only twice.
