Gitchen is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball franchise. Gitchen serves as Jiren's master in Universe 11, murdered at some point prior to the Tournament of Power in the Dragon Ball Super series.
Biography
After Jiren's parents were murdered, Gitchen recused him and took him on as a pupil. During this time, Jiren gained new companions. The "evil-doer" that murdered Jiren's parents returned, slaughtered all of Jiren's companions, and also killed Gitchen.[1]
Ultimately, Gitchen never recognized Jiren as his successor; while Jiren assumes this was because he was not strong enough, Vermoud confirms that it was because Jiren was always a solitary fighter and never learned the lesson of teamwork.[2]
Though Jiren intended to wish Gitchen back to life should he win the Tournament of Power, Universe 7's win leaves this plot point in limbo.
Name
Gitchen's name adds a diacritical mark to the キ (ki) in the katakana approximation of the English word "kitchen" (キッチン, kitchin) to form the name ギッチン (gitchin). While this spelling change and therefore name pun source have not been confirmed, an all-encompassing "kitchen" name would serve to bridge the names of the various Pride Troopers that otherwise all appear to be plays on kitchen appliances.
Production
Though Jiren's master is cited with similar surrounding circumstances in the Dragon Ball Super television series, he is thus far only cited explicitly by name in the manga.
An interview with Dragon Ball Super producer Sakoru Takami and director Ryōta Nakamura published near the end of the anime's broadcast run clarified some long-lingering questions about Jiren's development, which then affected Jiren's master, during the production process:[3]
Were Universe 11‘s Pride Troopers part of Toriyama-sensei‘s designs?
Nakamura: They weren’t in his designs, but since Jiren and co. all wore the same red and black suits, he allowed us to flesh it out like that.
Takami: In sensei‘s initial rough draft, there was no information indicating Jiren’s personality. Since the tough opponents in Dragon Ball Super up until then had been nihilistic, cool characters like Hit or Zamasu, we thought it might be best to make Jiren very talkative, so we came up with the background of him being a hero of justice. Jiren was central to this squadron of heroes.
Nakamura: When we suggested that to Toriyama-sensei, he replied that “Jiren is a character who doesn’t speak.” It was then that Toriyama-sensei sent us the backstory that his parents and martial arts master had been killed. He said that Jiren was this type of character, in contrast to Hit or Zamasu.
Takami: And so the characterization of Jiren that we originally came up with was passed on to Toppo.
