Hit

Hit (ヒット Hitto), known as "Hit the Infallible" (百発百中のヒットHyappatsuhyakuchuu no Hitto) and as the "Legendary Assassin" (伝説の殺し屋 Densetsu no Koroshi-ya) is the major supporting character/anti-villain of Dragonball Super. He is the most powerful member of Team Universe 6.

 

Appearance
Hit is a tall, well-built alien with purple skin, flattened ears, a bald head, and red eyes. He wears a long, dark purple, blue, and grey coat. He wears a dark cyan undershirt, dark purple elbow and knee pads, and dark purple wrist guards. He has a dark cyan belt with a yellow buckle. His pants are dark cyan and he wears a pair of dark purple boots with black toe-and-heel armor.

Personality
Hit is known to be stoic and very composed, frequently appearing emotionless and indifferent to most events. An expert in his craft, Hit shows great self-assurance and courage in any challenge presented before him. Hit also seems to be confident in his abilities. Showing a very ruthless attitude, he is straight to the point and speaks no more than necessary. To which, Hit will carry out his actions, no matter whom his targets may be, nor can he be bribed or convinced to turn away from the assignment. More to his unwavering commitment and resolve, even when at a disadvantage, Hit refuses to back down from the challenge, choosing to face the opponent head-on, as noted by Cabba. Stemming from his anti-social nature, he apparently is somewhat unfamiliar with certain forms of showing respect, as he was slightly surprised when Goku bows to him. At the same time, he is a very astute and instinctive individual, constantly perceiving the situation at hand confirming how best to handle it.

While an assassin, Hit is shown to be very honorable, as he will revealing himself to the target as he does not believe in striking from behind and and explaining why he is present. Against one he is not required to kill, he will show mercy, offering his opponents a chance to surrender and use no more strength than absolutely necessary. While solemn in attitude, Hit believes in being fair, showing his respect by action as he allowed Goku to stand up because Goku helped him improve his Time-Skip. He is also shown to be a team-player as during the Tournament of Power, he saved his teammate Caulifla from elimination.

A warrior at heart, Hit is shown to enjoy a true challenge, smiling from facing Goku's own competitive nature and sportsmanship, developing respect to him as the first person to make him fight seriously. Even more, he showed said respect as he gave Goku his approval with a friendly fist bump. Even on mission, should the opponent prove capable enough, his hardened demeanor will give way somewhat to all his martial artist spirit to revel in the competition.

Despite his profession, he does not approve of the idea of people being demeaned and treated as pawns. This is proven after Goku intentionally lost their fight to show the Gods of Destruction that they were in control of their own actions. Hit followed with Goku's method and let Team Universe 7 win by feigning defeat in the final match. Even more, he surprisingly attempts to avoid killing those he feels undeserving, as he offers Goku the option to vanish while he would report the target dead. After having clinically killed Goku for a few seconds, he was willing to part ways peacefully, as he technically completed his task, until Goku insisted they finish the fight. Hit is also shown very understanding, as after learning that Goku placed the contract on himself to face Hit at his best, the assassin smiled and acknowledged his further respect of the Saiyan, leaving with no regrets and patiently wait for their next fight.

On the day of the tournament, Hit appears in the ring along with his teammates, who were Cabba, Frost, Botamo and Auta Magetta. He would pass along to his teammates the written test, which when surpassed would allow them to participate in the tournament. Hit would not show any interest in the first combats, so he simply folds his arms and closes his eyes, until in Goku's fight against Frost, the first becomes Super Saiyan, Hit observes but quickly closes his eyes again.

Then Hit asks the Arbitrator if it is against the rules to kill him, he responds affirmatively, so the hit man asks what he can do since the Saiyajin will not surrender and will not be able to do anything in that state, so the Referee gives As a winner to Hit, who tells Vegeta that he is the first to survive his attacks.
