Hit, known as "Hit the Infallible" and as the "Legendary Assassin" is the major supporting character of Dragonball Super. He is the most powerful member of Team Universe 6.

He is voiced by Kazuhiro Yamaji in the Japanese version and by Aaron Roberts and Matthew Mercer in the English version.

Story

Hit, the assassin from Universe 6, is responsible for one of Goku’s most grueling battles in history. The incredibly powerful warrior, known for his Time Skip ability, was Goku’s main opponent in the Universe 6 Saga. The character returned to play a key role in Dragon Ball Super’s Tournament of Power story and was believed to be Universe 6’s best hope of winning.

In the Universe 6 Saga, Hit stunned the Z-Warriors by scoring an easy victory over the anime’s second strongest hero, Vegeta. It was revealed that Hit’s biggest asset in battle is his Time Skip ability, which enables him to leap forward in time by a tenth of a second. This, combined with his amazing speed, makes dodging his blows extremely difficult. To make matters worse, Hit was actually able to make improvements to the ability during his fight with Goku. Goku had to power-up to Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken for the first time ever to properly match up with him. However, Goku never was able to get a decisive victory over Hit.

Abilities

The best indication of Hit’s true capabilities come from his fights with Jiren and Dyspo. Hit was at a disadvantage through most of his fight with the Universe 11 speedster, but in the end it did appear that his improved Time Skip ability made him superior in combat. However, it was revealed later on in the tournament that Dyspo was holding back his greatest weapon: his Super Maximum Light Speed Mode. Judging by how well it worked against Gohan and Golden Frieza, it would seem that Dyspo is more powerful than Hit.

Following his fight with Dyspo, Hit demonstrated that he was one of the Tournament of Power’s greatest fighters when he took on Jiren, Dragon Ball Super’s strongest antagonist. Hit was shown to be much weaker than Jiren, but his Time Skip almost gave him the win. Jiren himself openly regarded Hit as a threat to him which is something that he didn’t do with any of the other characters, except for Goku. Hit’s ability to challenge Jiren and fight on par with Dypso (but admittedly without his Super Maximum Light Speed Mode power-up) are clear signs that despite his early loss in the Tournament of Power, he’s still one of the anime’s most formidably fighters. He’s easily above most of the Z-Warriors, with one possible exception being Gohan, who is the third strongest hero at this point.

Trivia

• Hit's name comes from the English word "hit" and "hitman". In his character design notes, it is said that his name suggests danger.
• His name also contains the first part of the Japanese word for “assassin”, hitokiri.
• Hit has purple blood.
• Hit is the fourth known being to have the ability to manipulate time (fifth if counting King Kai in the Ocean Group dubs); the first being Guldo, the second being Chronoa the Supreme Kai of Time, and the third one being Whis.
• Hit is the second assassin to have fought Goku in the series, the first being Mercenary Tao.
• Hit is also the second tournament fighter in the anime where Goku ends up combining a Super Saiyan transformation with the Kaio-ken power up (in Hit's case Goku uses the Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken) in order to fight them, the first being when he used the Super Kaio-ken on Pikkon in the Other World Tournament.
• Hit is the third character in the franchise to make Goku shake in fear during a battle, with the other two being Raditz and Frieza.
• Hit is the fourth character in the series to kill Goku, the others being Piccolo, Cell and Goku Black. In the franchise, he is the fifth due to Frieza killing Goku after time is altered in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.
• In Xenoverse 2, if an Earthling Future Warrior has Hit as their instructor, he initially deems their race unremarkable in power. After completing all of his training, he changes his mind and states that while they are not as strong as the other races, they make up for it by keeping their wits about them as they fight.
• In the anime, Hit is the only member of Team Universe 6 who wasn't eliminated by a member of Team Universe 7 in the Tournament of Power. Instead, he was eliminated by Jiren, a member of Team Universe 11.
• Hit was one of the few characters who fought against Goku without taking neither 1 blow of the same, thing which even warriors likes Jiren or Beerus were unable to do.
• Hit is one of Goku's major rivals in the series alongside Vegeta and Jiren.
