	Hit tries to refuse Goku's help, but Goku insists he is not helping; the sight of Hit being ganged up on by Kunsi and Dyspo just makes him itch to fight. Hit insists that Dyspo is his prey, but Goku tells Hit to try to stop him, and attacks Dyspo. Hit attacks as well and is captured by Kunsi's ''ki'' ropes again. Hit blasts them away, but then he notices that Kunsi has left ropes of ''ki'' lying around, and he correctly surmises that they will explode if he touches them. Kunsi believes this is an impregnable defense. However, Hit attacks him from a distance with a shockwave that only affects living beings. Hit and Goku trade places; Hit attacks Dyspo while Goku plows through Kunsi's minefield and knocks him flying into a rock. Hit has Dyspo beaten and throws him toward the edge of the ring again, but Kunsi saves him one more time, advising him to wait for a chance to strike. Kunsi attacks Hit, but Hit uses Time Skip and knocks Kunsi out of the ring.<ref name="ep104"/>		Hit tries to refuse Goku's help, but Goku insists he is not helping; the sight of Hit being ganged up on by Kunsi and Dyspo just makes him itch to fight.

'''Kunsi''' is a fictional character in the Japanese animated television series ''[[Dragon Ball Super]]'' and its companion manga series written by [[Toyotarō]]. Kunsi makes his debut in [[Dragon Ball Super Episode 96]], broadcast on '''25 June 2017''' on [[Fuji TV]], as a member of the [[Pride Troopers]].

==Biography==
Kunsi generates tough threads of ''ki'' from both hands which paralyze his opponent. In the [[Tournament of Power]], he is blown out of the ring by [[Hit]]'s [[Time Skip]].<ref name="Kagari">{{Cite web|URL=http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tv/dragon_s/chara/chapter4/no11.html|Website=Toei Animation|Title="Universe 11"|AccessDate=20 October 2017}}<br>{{Cite web|URL=https://redd.it/77mqzm|Website=Reddit|Title="Tournament of Power: Toei Website Profiles"|Date=20 October 2017}}</ref><ref name="ep104">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=104}}</ref>

===Tournament of Power===
Kunsi is one of the ten [[Pride Troopers]] chosen to represent [[Universe 11]] in the [[Tournament of Power]]. When [[Dyspo]] falls prey to [[Hit]]'s [[Time Skip]] technique and is knocked out of the ring, Kunsi uses his trademark ''ki'' threads to rescue his teammate. [[Champa]] protests that this is cheating, but [[Vados]] corrects him, pointing out that this is not a weapon but something that emanates from Kunsi's body, so it is allowed. Kunsi tells Dyspo that he will join his battle, as [[Universe 11]] cannot afford to lose him, and Dyspo gladly accepts his assistance. Kunsi holds Hit in place while Dyspo attacks him; [[Caulifla]] witnesses this from the sidelines and resolves to assist her teammate, but before she can act, [[Goku]] drops into the middle of the fight in his [[Super Saiyan God]] form and kicks Dyspo into Kunsi.

Hit tries to refuse Goku's help, but Goku insists he is not helping; the sight of Hit being ganged up on by Kunsi and Dyspo just makes him itch to fight. Hit insists that Dyspo is his prey, but Goku tells Hit to try to stop him, and attacks Dyspo. Hit attacks as well and is captured by Kunsi's ''ki'' ropes again. Hit blasts them away, but then he notices that Kunsi has left ropes of ''ki'' lying around, and he correctly surmises that they will explode if he touches them. Kunsi believes this is an impregnable defense. However, Hit attacks him from a distance with a shockwave that only affects living beings. Hit and Goku trade places; Hit attacks Dyspo while Goku plows through Kunsi's minefield and knocks him flying into a rock. Hit has Dyspo beaten and throws him toward the edge of the ring again, but Kunsi saves him one more time, advising him to wait for a chance to strike. Kunsi attacks Hit, but Hit uses Time Skip and knocks Kunsi out of the ring.<ref name="ep104"/>

==Name==
Kunsi's name is likely an anagram of the Japanese transliteration of "sink" (シンク/''shinku''). This name pun follows the theme of the [[Pride Troopers]] being named after items found in a kitchen.<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://twitter.com/sailorspazz/status/839554122688835585|Website=Twitter|Title=@sailorspazz|Date=08 March 2017|AccessDate=22 September 2018}}<br>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.</ref>
