Hit's Plot Hole in the Manga

Post by Tai Lung » Tue Jul 13, 2021 12:03 am

We never found out what Hit's killing techniques were in the manga. He never used them.

It seems that Toyotaro forgot about this since the technique that he used against Jiren was new but without mentioning the "others"

Do you think this was reserved for another time or is it something that was forgotten?

Well, the ToP has a rule of "no killing" so he probably couldn't use them there. Not sure if they'll be forgotten if they decide to bring Hit back, but for now, it seems like they're saved for another time.

I'm really not an expert on the matter, but I like to think.

You aren’t allowed to kill people in the ToP..

Universe 7 as a whole nearly got eliminated because #17 blew himself up.

How is this is any way a plot hole. Hit didn't use his killing techniques in another no killing allowed torunament.

Quick question, out of curiosity: Cell said he can use Genki-Dama but was never seen using it. Is that a "plot hole" too?
We help! ... Hmm. Always get Autobots out of messes they get into.

Cell pointed out a possibility but even he does not know all his abilities ... he did not know that Piccolo could regenerate his arm

Taking into account that his own existence was at stake ... and jiren surpassed his power by far ... for the moment yes qualifies ...
because there were times when the characters did not contain themselves especially against jiren
unless hit > jiren but that is never mentioned

Well, in his fight against Jiren, he probably thought that his Time Lag, while not fully effective, would be enough to knock him out. Jiren... Essentially fooled Hit and disposed of him quickly.

Hit deemed it not necessary, perhaps, and didn't want to risk it.

Maybe if he knew about Jiren's true power he would have gone for one when the time was right (at that time, it wouldn't have made that much sense to get disqualified by killing Jiren, as U11 had the overall numerical advantage, having all of its members on the ring. Plus, the extent of most Pride Troopers' potential wasn't really known). Who knows, with Jiren's power a lethal technique wouldn't have really been lethal, but could have had some favorable side effect such as full paralysis?

If Hit planned on killing Jiren, he would've gotten disqualified, and with him gone, no U6 member would've been enough to deal with Goku. His best shot was to team up with Goku, or win using the Time Lag.

For this to be possible, Hit would have to be stronger than Jiren ... but Hit was much weaker than him ... it didn't make much sense to hold back ...
Kale did not hold back and was not disqualified
