Why do people consider Hit weak in the manga?
I hear this often, and I don't get it. Just because hit wasn't 10 times the strength of the previous villain doesn't mean he's weak. Hit's performance in the manga was actually pretty standard. The fight was basically even in the end after Hit hurt his arm and Goku used up most of his energy, yet people act like Goku stomped Hit. It also doesn't make sense to say, "Why didn't Goku use Blue at the beginning," because Goku didn't know how to counter Hit's abilities, and he was hesitant to use his full strength. It's also the same as saying, "Why didn't Roshi/Tien use the Bankoku Bikkuri Shou/Kikoho at the beginning."
Hit vs Jiren in the manga actually made Hit look stronger than Goku(and by extension Merged Zamas) with him having roughly equal strength alongside his time techniques. The battle also played out mostly the same in both versions.
Hit uses the timeskip on Jiren->It doesn't work->He uses the time cage/time lag->Jiren is trapped and Hit gains the upper hand->Jiren starts to break out of the technique->Hit tries to finish Jiren off quickly->Hit fails and is eliminated
If Hit's performance is so standard, why is he treated as a weakling? Is there something I'm not taking into account?

Re: Why do people consider Hit weak in the manga?
From what I remember during their first meeting Goku already had an edge on Hit as a SSG. While the fight ends in a draw Goku has Hit on the back foot with a weaker form and is noticable stronger than him with plain old Blue
In the anime it's different. Hit dominates Blue Goku, forcing him to use the Kaio-Ken to get the edge and Hit is handy capped by the no killing rule and adapted his time-skip further to dodge even a 10x stronger Goku.
If manga Goku be able to use KK he'd have dropped Hit with one punch.
As for his Fight with Jiren, I don't see how it makes one stronger then the other. Both time abilites affectively weaken/slow down the target, allowing Hit to take control for a bit. Hax powers are not an idication of strength. The only thing I can think of is that Manga Hit performs his technique while Jiren is just charging while Anime Hit works to create an opening in Jiren's defences to land the attack.

Re: Why do people consider Hit weak in the manga?
His considered weak, because he was never shown to be strong.
Outside of his first victory of Vegeta, which is immediately diminished later on, Hit never really has an actual upper hand against an opponent. His fight with Goku is extraordinarily one sided. Hit had no chance against at all. I keep on hear people say that "Oh they were even because Goku used most of his energy in the Kamehameha". That's a load of crap. Yes Blue probably used a lot of energy, but so did Hit, who not only took the attack, but could no longer access his full power that was barely stronger than SSG Goku's to begin with, not mention there is nothing in the fight that indicated that Goku would at all have trouble with Hit if they continued. Its also not helped by the fact that Vegeta confirms that Goku could have won that fight if he felt like it.
As for Hit vs Jiren, that fight is bad in both the manga and anime, with the manga only really being marginally better. Its still incredibly one sided and though the results in both are the same, I think its worth noting that the anime gave Hit far more screen presence, meaning his defeat actually had some impact on us as an audience member. Hit in the manga, is treated as a joke, and is a joke in that fight, with Belmond and Toppo chastising how childish and juvenile Hit's strategy was.
I think the biggest thing your not taking into account, is that Hit in the manga doesn't have any real standout moments as a fighter. In the anime, they didn't diminish the value of Hits victory over Vegeta(not to mention the fight was far better in the anime). The fight with Goku isn't one sided the moments Goku gets serious, with both Goku and Hit both getting the upper hand at crucial portions of the fight. The mini assassination arc also helped, with Hit temporarily killing Goku, then after an extended mostly one sided battle, drawing with Goku. Hit also had his fight against Dyspo, which was one of the best of the TOP, as it genuinely bothered to utilize strategy and cunning. Yes, anime's Hits defeat is admittedly underwhelming, but he still had a lot of great stuff leading up to that. Manga Hit, didn't really have anything.

Re: Why do people consider Hit weak in the manga?
I see, so because Hit is seen as always doing sort-of-good, or not-so-bad in the manga, he didn't make as much of an impact. Thanks for clearing that up.JazzMazz wrote:His considered weak, because he was never shown to be strong.

Re: Why do people consider Hit weak in the manga?
In the anime Hit is above Goku and Vegeta's Blue while in the manga Goku put up a good fight in Red while also stating that Vegeta could've easily taken him down in Blue. In the anime we're told that Hit can get stronger depending on who he's fighting which is never brought up in the manga.

Re: Why do people consider Hit weak in the manga?
I have no idea what you're trying to communicate. Are you saying it's a fake tournament because it's not as important as the ToP, because by that logic the 21st and 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai are fake as well, because they weren't as narratively important as the 23rd.jplaya2023 wrote:U6 vs U7 i call it a fake tournament.

Re: Why do people consider Hit weak in the manga?
those were entirely different. Anyway i called it a fake tournament because it was building up to the TOP along with goku and others fighting the bergamo and his siblings. just a buildupBergamo wrote:I have no idea what you're trying to communicate.

Re: Why do people consider Hit weak in the manga?
The King Piccolo arc built towards Goku winning the Tenkaichi Budokai and saving the world. I wouldn't call that a fake arc though. The fact is that u6 vs u6 is just as valid a part of the story as anything else.jplaya2023 wrote:those were entirely different.

Re: Why do people consider Hit weak in the manga?
Also: Anime Hit actually managed to hit Jiren AND to have him put some visible effort... and this AFTER Jiren was shown\stated on the level of a GoD while not being serious.
Hell, Jiren going to meditate after defeating Hit marks Hit as "Strong" because Jiren felt he was necessary to defeat him but not, say, Vegeta.

Re: Why do people consider Hit weak in the manga?
Hit weak ? Is that a joke ? He’s not as strong as Jiren and goku .. but weak ?
He was the first to score a good punch on Jiren , both anime and manga , prior to goku who tried but couldn’t.
I don’t consider him weak , he’s top 5 easy .
His fighting style Doesn’t rely on strength , but he’s not weak

I always figured he never cared as much about the character as fans do. But I don’t really have much to actually prove thatMiracles wrote:Toriyama doesn't care for Hit.
Problem is his fighting style as cool as it is does need strength to back it up due to the nature of the series itself. He is top 5 though I agree.prince212 wrote:Hit weak ? Is that a joke ? He’s not as strong as Jiren and goku .. but weak ?

Look no further than the outlines. Toriyama gave have Hit nothing but jobber status to jiren. Then gets out shined by Saiyan girls.Zen Yabuki wrote:I always figured he never cared as much about the character as fans do. But I don’t really have much to actually prove that
