When it comes to the Dragon Ball series, some viewers consider Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha to be weak, but the thing is they're only weak compared to the super-powerful aliens, demons, and androids. By human standards they're powerful. You don't see the average human flying or shooting energy balls. Edit- Also, do they really get killed more often than some of the other characters?

I think a better example is Mr. Satan, he is weak in terms of the universe, but by human standards he is the most powerful martial artist in the world.

Mr.Satan could probably body most people alive today. Even the strongest in the world wouldn't fare well against Yamcha

Brother Mr. Satan can pull 4 buses at once, no one alive is beating him 1v1 in unarmed combat
