Mohito is a fictional character in the Japanese animated television series Dragon Ball Super and its companion manga series written by Toyotarō. Mohito makes his debut in Dragon Ball Super Episode 78, broadcast on 12 February 2017 on Fuji TV, as the Angel of Universe Nine.

Biography

Mohito's character design for the Tournament of Power.[2]

Mohito is a knowledgeable genius-type who looks at things dispassionately.[2] Exasperated by his loser Kaiōshin and loser God of Destruction, he turns a blind eye to their violent exchanges.[3]

Tournament of Power

Zen Exhibition Match

When the Great Priest informs the gods of each universe about the upcoming Tournament of Power, he invites them to attend the Zen Exhibition Match to sate the curiosity of the Omni-King from the future, who has never seen a martial arts tournament. Universe 9 is asked to participate in the tournament and bring three fighters to compete against warriors from Universe 7. The gods of Universe 9 bring the Trio de Dangers to the Omni-King's palace, where they encounter the representatives of Universe 7 in the corridor. Shin greets them, noting that they have not seen each other in some time.

With everyone present, the Great Priest creates an arena in a void that appears to be located beneath the Omni-King's palace, and the Universe 9 representatives fall onto a platform situated on one side of the fighting stage, across from the Universe 7 platform. Then the Great Priest brings in the gods from all the other universes to observe the match. When Goku speaks casually to the Omni-Kings, calling them "Zen-chan", Sidra says that he never would have believed Universe 7 would have someone so disrespectful, and Rou says he has never seen the like.[4]

Recruitment

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.[5]

Some time later, Quitela contacts Sidra with a crystal ball and tells him that Universe 7 plans to go after Universe 9 first in the Tournament of Power, but they have a chance to crush Universe 7 before the tournament. A villain named Freeza is about to join up with Goku and the others, and if they take him out before he can join the team, it will cause Universe 7 to be disqualified. Sidra worries that the Omni-Kings will find out; Quitela says they only have to avoid getting directly involved, and suggests Sidra use hitmen from his universe. Rou then researches Freeza on GodTube and learns that Freeza is a truly cold-blooded villain. Sidra asks him what he thinks about Quitela's suggestion, and Rou thinks they should not hesitate to act on it. Sidra agrees, and says they should hurry to send assassins; Mohito hears this and seems amused.[6]

Name

Mohito's name is likely derived from Mojito (モヒート/Mohiito), a Cuban cocktail that consists of white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water, and mint. This name pun follows the theme of Gods of Destruction and Angels being named after alcoholic beverages.[7]

Performance

Mohito is voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa, who voiced Paikuhan and Artificial Human No. 16 in Dragon Ball Z and the latter in Dragon Ball Kai. Midorikawa took over the role of Tenshinhan after the death of Hirotaka Suzuoki in 2006. In the FUNimation dub, Mohito is voiced by Howard Wang in his first credited role for the Dragon Ball franchise.
