Bergamo is a fictional character in the Japanese animated television series Dragon Ball Super and its companion manga series written by Toyotarō.

Biography

Also known as "Crusher Bergamo", he is the eldest brother of Trio the Dangers. Bergamo is capable of taking his opponent's techniques and turning it into his own power.

Zen Exhibition Match

Bergamo represents Universe 9 in the third fight of the Zen Exhibition Match versus Son Goku of Universe 7. Goku says they should go all out, since their universes are not at risk in this tournament, but Bergamo tells him to shut up and turns to address the gods in attendance. He introduces himself as the eldest brother of the Trio de Dangers, Bergamo the Crusher, from the universe with the lowest mortal level. He then points at Goku, proclaiming that Goku's level is far below that of Universe 9, and that without his desire for a tournament, they could have all lived in peace. He accuses Goku of being a fool who does not have a clue, which Goku finds offensive, but Bergamo tells him to be silent, further accusing him of being a devil and the enemy of all universes. Bergamo declares that he will crush Goku. He then kneels before the Omni-Kings, begging them to retract their plan to erase the defeated universes when he defeats Goku.

Rou praises Bergamo for his speech, and Basil and Lavenda cheer. Sidra says he is a smooth talker. Meanwhile, Beerus is frustrated that Bergamo is making Goku out to be the bad guy, and Whis observes that Bergamo's words are influencing the onlookers toward resentment for Goku, which Whis finds underhanded. Helles thinks Goku should not have involved himself, and the other gods are muttering angrily. The Great Priest asks the Omni-Kings what they think of Bergamo's proposal, and as they consider, Bergamo gloats that the entire cosmos is against him now. Goku does not care; he enjoys fighting more with this kind of tension.

The Omni-Kings tell Bergamo they have reached a decision. They liked his speech, which causes Rou and his brothers to weep tears of joy. Bergamo thanks the Omni-Kings, and the Great Priest announces that if Universe 9 wins this tournament, the consequences of losing the Tournament of Power will be rescinded. The Great Priest warns Goku not to hold back just to see Bergamo's wish granted, or the Omni-Kings will erase everything. Goku says that is fine with him, because he does not like losing. He will fight seriously. Beerus wonders whether Goku understands what is happening, but Whis thinks he is just making the best of a bad situation.

As Goku and Bergamo circle each other in the ring, the Great Priest announces the beginning of the match. They exchange blows for a short time until Goku barely stops Bergamo from poking out his eyes. They compliment each other on their skills, but Bergamo tells him it ends here. He stretches out his arms and invites Goku to hit him, so he can show him why he is called "Bergamo the Crusher". Gohan cannot believe that Bergamo has left himself unguarded; Shin thinks this is reckless considering his opponent. Goku takes Bergamo's invitation, punching him in the chest once, and then repeatedly, leaving several indentations on Bergamo's chest. Bergamo then absorbs them all, and his entire form grows larger. He attacks Goku with powered-up fists, pushing Goku back. Goku tries to attack, but Bergamo only grows larger. He invites Goku to hit him more, but when Goku attacks, he is hit instead and knocked to the ground.

Gohan warns his father to be more careful; Bergamo is using his power. Goku agrees with his assessment. Rou gloats yet again that Bergamo can convert attacks to power for himself and counter them with double strength. His strength is "through the roof". (Bergamo's brothers join Rou in pointing skyward.) Goku thinks that this is exactly the sort of person he has been wanting to fight. He transforms into a Super Saiyan and attacks Bergamo again, and Bergamo continues to absorb his power, returning it to him with blows of increased strength. Goku tells Bergamo that this power actually is not that original. This makes Bergamo angry, and he attacks Goku with a blast. Goku dodges it and kicks Bergamo in the head, but Bergamo responds with a kick and multiple blasts.

They exchange blows back and forth, and Bergamo continues to grow larger. Rou laughs and tells Goku that it does not matter how much he attacks; the more Bergamo gets hit, the stronger he grows. Bergamo mocks Goku for dodging him, though he cannot blame him since his attacks are useless. The Omni-Kings are amazed that Goku is being pushed back, but Goku laughs, causing Shin and Gohan to wonder what is going on. Bergamo gets annoyed and threatens to blow Goku away, but Goku meets his blow and bounces off, landing on Bergamo's back. Bergamo does not know where he has gone. Goku drops to the ground and kicks Bergamo in the back of the knee, causing him to fall over. He tells Bergamo that his increased size means he has more blind spots, and that he should be more careful.

Bergamo grows angry and tries to attack Goku again, but Goku dodges, goading him to get even stronger while firing a volley of blasts at his head. Bergamo blocks them, absorbing their power, and Mister Satan asks Gohan what Goku is up to. Gohan explains that Goku's excitement increases with the strength of his opponent, so he is making Bergamo stronger on purpose. Beerus thinks that Saiyans are bothersome like that. Goku pushes Bergamo toward the edge of the ring where his weight causes the floor to crumble underneath him. Bergamo manages to stay in the ring, and Goku asks him if he can get any stronger. Bergamo attacks Goku in rage, and Goku laughs, powering up to Super Saiyan Blue. Cae immediately recognizes the pressure of divine power, and Vermoud is agape. Rou cannot believe that Goku has the power of a god, and Sidra realizes that this Goku should not be underestimated. Future Omni-King is impressed, and Present Omni-King explains that this is Super Saiyan Blue.

Goku tells Bergamo that their fight is not over yet. He is going to give Bergamo some extra-big power. Using the Kaiō-Ken technique, Goku charges a Kamehameha. Bergamo thinks Goku is bluffing, and Goku laughs excitedly when Bergamo meets his Kamehameha with his own Wolfgang Penetrator, but Goku gathers all of his strength and quickly overcomes Bergamo's attack. Bergamo returns to his normal size, and Goku asks him what is wrong; can they not continue fighting? Bergamo says that Universe 7 is unbelievable, and he collapses on the arena floor. The Great Priest announces the end of the match, proclaiming Goku as the winner. Rou is distraught, and Bergamo's brothers rush to the arena to assist him.

The Omni-Kings are very impressed with Goku's strength. Goku calls out to them, telling them he did not hold back. They tell him that was fun. As Bergamo's brothers rush to his side, Goku complains that he never got to see Bergamo's true power because he was using Goku's power. He wants to see Bergamo get serious at the Tournament of Power. Bergamo thinks Goku really is a villain, since he is awfully eager to see all the universes erased. He promises that Universe 7 will be the first to be erased, since all of the other universes will be coming after him. He continues to shout invectives as his brothers drag him away, insisting that they will be the universe to survive.

After the Zen Exhibition Match, Mohito accompanies Sidra to check in on the Trio de Dangers, who are trying to recruit fighters for the Tournament of Power, but the world they have visited has erupted in violent chaos. Mohito asks what is going on, and Basil apologizes while Lavenda explains that news of the universe's impending destruction has led to riots. Bergamo says that these people intend to abandon Universe 9 for another universe, which seems to make Mohito angry. Sidra asks how many warriors they have managed to recruit, and Basil tells him none. This makes Mohito even angrier, and Sidra uses Destruction on the rioting city, reducing it to a crater. He tells them that this world is hopeless, and that they should go somewhere else.

Tournament of Power

Bergamo was one of the ten fighters representing Universe 9 at the Tournament of Power. He and he and his brothers were the last members of their universe to be eliminated. They were knocked out of the ring by the Final Kamehameha of Goku and Vegeta. Bergamo's universe was erased by the Omni-Kings, but they were revived by Super Shenlong thanks to No. 17's wish at the conclusion of the tournament.

Name

Bergamo's name is derived from bergamot (ベルガモット/berugamotto), a fragrant citrus fruit whose extracts and skin are used to scent food, perfumes, and cosmetics.

Production

Bergamo was initially described in promotional material as the middle brother of the Trio de Dangers, whose specialty was poison. This appears to have been a mix-up with his brother Lavenda.

Performance

Bergamo is voiced by Eiji Takemoto, who took over the role of Kewi in Dragon Ball Kai following the passing of Kōji Totani, and had played Namu in the 2007 video game Sparking! METEOR following the passing of Kaneto Shiozawa. Takemoto also voiced Nink of Universe 10. In the FUNimation English dub, Basil is voiced by Marcus Stimac in his first role for the Dragon Ball franchise.
