Will we ever see Hit again?

Post by GreatSaiyaman123 » Mon Jan 30, 2023 1:37 am

Hit's been pushed aside pretty quickly, getting no mention in the movies whatsoever and the manga never had the time to give them a rematch. With how fast Goku is improving and aiming for ever higher levels, is there anything we can see from the assassin? Or will he just be forgotten as Super's Tenshinhan 2.0?

He's currently in Super Dragon Ball Heroes every month or whatever. He defeated the glass tribe warrior which was pretty cool.
Yamcha almost certainly did not cheat on Bulma:
He was afraid of Women, Bulma was the flirty one.
Yamcha wanted to get married (it was his gonna be his wish)
He suggested they settle down in the Trunks saga.
Alternate future Trunks is not a reliable source.
Toriyama wanted new SSJ Kids and not make new characters.

I think his ship has sailed. He wasn't even mentioned in SH, and he sure has a lot to offer in terms of what others can learn from him, seems like the guys now only have eyes for Broly, Jiren and the deities.

I can see him making a triumphant return, sure, Freeza got one in DBS, but he should be completely out of his depth by now. Power gaps never stopped DBS from bringing back old characters, but I'm guessing if the multiverse is explored again, the U11 will be the center.

Doubtful. He's had his character development, appeared in two story arcs, and got his own guest episode in the anime.

In the best case scenario, I can see him getting a cameo or something.

He will surely show up in Toei original stories but good luck having him in a Toriyama one.

Maybe if a Planet Sadala arc ever happens, I could see a threat in U6 being introduced where Hit might be involved and could be made to catch up to Goku and Vegeta.

Basically the premise could be based around Broly struggling to control his power and then Goku, Vegeta, and Broly all go to Planet Sadala in U6 to see if they can get some progress done there (perhaps one of them mentions Kale having a similar type of power to Broly). A new ultra powerful threat could be introduced where Hit would also get involved in the battle and get a power up that puts him on par with Goku and Vegeta again. Maybe he's been training and made some substantial gains alongside unlocking some secret to the Timeskip technique or something.

All in all, I think there is something to work with.

I certainly hope we see him again. As the former top dog of U6, hopefully seeing what Jiren, and the Saiyans of both U6 and U7 can do, motivates him to improve in his own unique ways.

I always thought his design was particularly weak. What a strange looking guy.

A rematch has to progress the story, otherwise it serves no real purpose.

Hit has all the personality of a rusted penny, so I hope he stays irrelevant.

By that logic, they should bring Guldo back as well. Imagine what Guldo and Hit could accomplish together.

On a serious note, yeah, I'd like to see Hit again. They really need to resume the anime already :(

we will most likely see Hit again when\IF they decide to give us another U6 arc.
..which, let's be honest, is only going to happen if they make another anime series.

Guldo Hit combot is too broken not even ultra instinct could beat that. So they should totally team up so we can see what they can get away with. Hit is an assassin though so he has a specific job. Don't know if the story will ever swing around to needing a character like him again in the foreseeable future.

Hit’s such a quaint main antagonist, in retrospect. Little backstory, no animosity toward the main cast, etc.—just a tournament final boss with a memorable gimmick. I like the fact that, in the manga. he’s not even stronger than the heroes in a traditional sense. Probably the single most unassuming main heavy since the Red Ribbon Army arc.

I dig him. Although it’s fine if he doesn’t return.

I'm often the last person to compare Super to GT (Or even care about GT overall), but Hit and Redjic are very similar characters to me. Both are assassins with weird heads who fight Goku and then befriend him. But they're a small drop in the big sea of the story, so they're never seen again outside of some quick cameos.

What for? He's another fodder character.
