Cae is a gentle Kaiōshin with a strong sense of justice who values life.[1][2] He is known for being kind-hearted and taking everything positively.[3] Cae's name likely comes from the 界 (kai) in "Kaiōshin" meaning "world".[2] Additionally, many Kaiōshin appear to have been named after deities, and Caenus (カイネウス/Kaineusu) of Greek mythology is a possible source for this name, or one of any number of gods whose names begin with "Kai" or "Cae".[4]
Vermoud has a strong sense of justice and never forgives evil. He gets fired up about the Pride Troopers' efforts to punish evils in Universe 11.[1] Vermoud's name is likely derived from vermouth (ベルモット/berumotto), an aromatized, fortified wine flavored with various botanicals. The character name adds a diacritic sign to the last syllable of the katakana used to write "vermouth" in Japanese, altering its pronunciation from "to" to "do". Vermoud's name pun follows the theme of Gods of Destruction and Angels being named after alcoholic beverages.[4]
Markarita always gives candid advice to her Kaiōshin and God of Destruction, who are insufficiently strict. She is characterized by her use of the odd expression "desumasu".[5] Markarita's name is likely derived from "margarita" (マルガリータ/marugariita), a cocktail consisting of tequila, triple sec, and lime or lemon juice, often served with salt or sugar on the rim of the glass. The character name removes a diacritic sign to the third syllable of the katakana used to write "margarita" in Japanese, altering its pronunciation from "ga" to "ka". This name pun follows the theme of Gods of Destruction and Angels being named after alcoholic beverages.[4]
Warriors
Universe Eleven is represented in the Tournament of Power by a ten-member team taken from the Pride Troopers. Their names all appear to be based on items found in a kitchen.[6]
Toppo is the leader of the hero team "Pride Troopers", the guardians of peace in Universe Eleven. A hot-blooded and gigantic warrior of Justice, he is so strong that he has even been scouted as a candidate for the next God of Destruction of his universe.[7] Toppo's name is likely an anagram of the katakana transliteration of "pot" (ポット/potto).
Jiren is Universe Eleven's strongest warrior. Although he is silent and cool, he boasts fearsome strength said to reach the realm of a God of Destruction.[3] Jiren's name is likely an anagram of the katakana transliteration of "range" (レンジ/renji), used specifically to refer to a stovetop.
Dyspo is the raid-commanding officer of the Pride Troopers. A super-fast warrior, he is able to instantaneously increase his movement speed thousands-fold.[3] Dyspo's name is likely derived from the katakana rendering of "disposal" (ディスポーザー/disupōzā), used specifically to refer to a food disposal system attached to the drain of a kitchen sink.
Vuon is a warrior resembling a dinosaur. In the Tournament of Power, he attempted to restrain the berserk Kale, but was launched out of the ring.[3] Vuon's name is likely an anagram of the katakana transliteration of "oven" (オーブン/ōbun). The vowel elongation (ー) follows the ブ/bu syllable rather than the オ/o syllable.
Cocotte is the sole female of the Pride Troopers. She uses the 'Cocotte Zone' technique, which imprisons her opponents in another dimension. In the Tournament of Power, she was thrown out of the ring by No. 18.[3] Cocotte's name is likely taken from the French word cocotte, a type of casserole dish, or a "Dutch oven".
Kettle is a warrior who manipulates points of light. He showers opponents with a rapid-fire attack in which countless points of light rain down from the sky. He was shot off the ring by Caulifla and Kale's energy wave.[3] Kettle's name is a katakana transliteration of the English word "kettle" (ケットル/kettoru), though ケトル/ketoru is a more common transliteration.
Kahseral is a brave warrior known as the "General" with a lengthy military service. He can turn his energy into a weapon by concentrating it in both hands. In the Tournament of Power, he was shot off the ring by Caulifla and Kale's energy wave.[3] Kahseral's name is likely derived from the katakana rendering of "casserole" (キャセロール/kyaserōru), used to refer to a casserole dish.

Two names were enough to clue in fans to the Universe Eleven pun scheme. The other names were only revealed later, and each one fit the pattern.
