''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13360181/1/Sadala-Chronicles-The-Time-Hitman Sadala Chronicles: The Time Hitman: The fate of Frost's successor]]'' it's a AlternateUniverseFic of ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' written by [=TrueUtopian=]. It's a sequel to ''[[Fanfic/SadalaChroniclesTheSaiyanAndTheDevilsFruit The Saiyan and the Devil's Fruit]]''.
[[Fanfic/SadalaChroniclesTheSaiyanAndTheDevilsFruit After the arrest of the emperor of Universe 6,]] the Saiyans have seen a severe decline in their economy and reputation for aiding the infamous Frost; the remnants of Frost's army, the Space Pirates, started a war among themselves for the control of the forces. When the pirates hired the legendary assassin Hit to kill the opposing leaders on Planet Cinnam, this led a member of the Galactic Patrol to hire a Super Saiyan to arrest him: Cabba.
Cabba, however, had his own reasons for meeting Hit: to grow even stronger, and to learn the secret [[TimeMaster to the manipulation of time]] so the universe can have a new proper hero. During his mission though, he meets a mysterious individual that works as the Space Pirates's weapon manufacturer.
!! The Time Hitman provides examples of the following tropes:
* EleventhHourSuperpower: After the destruction of Mon Roll and his fight with a supposed Shenron, Cabba is left broken, with his entire body damaged. An assasin - Samza,the same man who trained him and Oren to synchronize - then appears out of nowhere with Instant Transmission, ready to kill him. Yet, Cabba survived the encounter and [[DefeatMeansFriendship wins over the man without throwing a punch]] by awakening Hit's Time Skip at the last minute. Even he is not aware how he obtained it.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: [[spoiler: In the source material, Oren is a genocidal Machine Mutant that wants the extermination of humankind due to the way his creators treated him and his sister, Kamin. He is essentially an {{Expy}} of Future Android 17 with [[Anime/DragonBallGT Baby]] attributes. Despite that, he has a [[AffablyEvil genial and informal personality]], and shows to be cooperative with Hearts, perhaps looking him as a ParentalSubstitute. In ''The Time Hitman'', Oren is an AffablyEvil GeniusBruiser that is proud of his Tsufurian heritage, but wishes to please his creator's will as Frost's successor to the Space Pirates. While the original Oren wanted destruction and a good fight, ''Time Hitman's'' Oren wants prosperity for the universe economy and to prove his genius.]]
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Once again, the relationships between the characters is changed.
** Cabba's relationship with Hit, in both anime and manga, is strictly professional. Cabba respects Hit, but that's the extent of their relationship in the source material. In ''Time Hitman'', Cabba requests him to train him, so he can become Frost's successor, and Hit is indifferent to him.
** In ''Anime/SuperDragonBallHeroes'', nothing is ever stated about the Tsufurians beyond their creation of Oren and Kamin. In ''Time Hitman'', it's established the race provided Frost's army with weapons.
* CatchPhrase: "My mind is my strongest muscle," [[spoiler:Oren's catchphrase, inherited from his maker.]]
* CharacterExageration: In the source material, Oren entered inside Caulifla's body just because she was powerful. In ''Time Hitman'', he almost never leaves the body of Renji due to wanting to protect his anonimity.
* ClarkKenting: Cabba's mission in Planet Cinnam requires him to hide his identity as a Saiyan. His disguise? A different set of clothes, and using his [[GoldenSuperMode Super Saiyan transformation]] [[MundaneUtility to dye his hair]], alongside a mask the population wears. It's justified since in-universe, Cabba is not that well known to the universe at large. [[spoiler: When he allies himself with Oren, the machine mutant enters inside his body, and changes the color of the jacket from gray to blue, and Cabba's blond hair turns white, alongside Cabba obtaining a monkey tail and red eyes.]]
* CoolVersusAwesome: [[spoiler: A kaiju battle between a Golden Giant Ape and a mechanical Shenron. Cabba transformed in the ape due to Oren's cellular manipulations and then watching the full moon, while the guardian went created to protect the planet from invaders]].
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler:Oren's]] first words regarding his [[PuppeteerParasite power]] is to give the impression he is a DepravedBisexual. In context, he refers to not caring about the gender of the bodies he controls.
--> '''[[spoiler:Oren]]:''' ''Bold of you to assume I have a preference for gender.''
* {{Expy}}: By the author's admission:
** Ango, the Nodomi Casino manager, is inspired by Gibashi from ''Manga/{{Kajika}}''. They are both [[AllGaysArePedophiles mob bosses who are pedophiles]].
** Renji, a Herajin who is a servant of a SpacePirate, is pretty much Zangya from ''Anime/DragonBallZBojackUnbound''.
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: Oren's creator, Dr. Hachi]] is revealed to be the weapon's dealer of Frost army, which in turn means he is in a way responsible for the events of the previous story, including Taura's StartOfDarkness and growing hatred of the Space Pirates, and the creation of Evaprimolca.
* MundaneUtility:
** The Super Saiyan transformation is used by Cabba to disguise himself as a tourist on planet Cinnam.
** The parasitic possession of bodies is used by Oren not so much to gain control of stronger fighters, but to study their different kind of tastes for new donuts recipes.
* OcStandIn: Once again, the author takes Cabba from ''Dragon Ball Super'' to explore a WhatIf scenario, giving him more [[AdaptationalJerkass selfish traits]]. The characters of Hit and [[spoiler: [[Anime/SuperDragonBallHeroes Oren]]]] are rewritten as well, with the latter [[InNameOnly barely resembling the original incarnation]].
* OriginalCharacter: Unlike last story, ''Time Hitman'' mostly deal with original characters beyond Cabba and Hit.
** Barra, [[AscendedExtra a minor character from the previous story]], is an armored member of the Galactic Patrol who wants to capture Hit. He hires Cabba to deal with him.
** Rasley is a rank 2 Saiyan. He wishes for Cabba to teach him the secret of the Super Saiyan.
** Renji is a member of the Space Pirates that assists [[spoiler:Oren]]. She was a former scavenger from the race of Hera. She is an {{Expy}} of Zangya from ''Anime/DragonBallZBojackUnbound''.
** Manza, [[AscendedExtra a minor character from the previous story]], returns as a prominent Space Pirate. He is a Frost fanboy with cybernetic implants that has attacked Cinnam architecture constantly due to his war with [[spoiler: Oren's]] faction.
** Samza, a (presumed) Metamoran fusion that teaches Cabba and [[spoiler: Oren]] the technique of synchronization. He is a blind {{neet}} polar bear that can't get off his computer games.
** Dr.Hachi Chimitsu, the quirky owner of the Chimitsu company in charge of the most delicious sweets in Universe 6. [[spoiler: He is the true owner of Planet Cinnam and the creator of Oren. He is an {{Expy}} of Dr. Myuu from ''Anime/DragonBallGT''.]]
* PuppetKing: The government of Cinnam is merely a facade for the Space Pirates, with the king being a puppet for the true owner of the planet. [[spoiler: The planet was sold to Dr.Hachi 20 years ago, and Oren is the current owner.]]
* ReimaginingTheArtifact: The False Super Saiyan, a transformation that made its only appearance in ''Anime/DragonBallZLordSlug'', is [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness what the Super Saiyan was supposed to be]] before Creator/AkiraToriyama decided to make the transformation blond. ''Time Hitman'' uses the concept for [[spoiler:Oren transforming the Saiyans on Cinnam and forcing the transformation out of them through cellular manipulation.]]
* SecondaryCharacterTitle: Despite the title, Hit is a secondary character. His time powers are the objective of both the protagonist Cabba and the BigBad.
* SymbioticPossession: [[spoiler: Cabba's alliance with the Machine Mutant of Tsufurian origin Oren is this. Cabba allows Oren to possess his body, which in turn leads to both of them [[TwoMindsOneBody share control over it]]. With the help of one another, Cabba put the muscle as a Super Saiyan that grows stronger as he fights, and Oren obtains [[MundaneUtility new flavors for his Donut's company]], grants him knowledge and [[HealingHands heals him everytime he is injured]].]]
* VillainousLegacy: Due to her attack on Sadala 10 months ago, [[Fanfic/SadalaChroniclesTheSaiyanAndTheDevilsFruit Taura]] actions caused [[spoiler: the Saiyans survivors from the Tree of Might incident, which includes the king, to gain a degenerative disease that is slowly killing them. Cabba's mission is not so much to capture Hit, but to convince Barra to find a cure for them.]] This led to Cabba's father, who was already a sick man, to die before Cabba's arrival to Cinnam.
* YouKeepUsingThatWord: InUniverse. Cabba asks Rasley if his undercover wardrobe makes him look cool. [[BrutalHonesty Rasley tells him he looks like a queer]]. Cabba then starts to think queer is Cinnamian slang for cool, which makes him proclaim himself as "a totally queer Saiyan". [[ItAmusedMe Rasley didn't felt like telling him the truth]].
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Ango, the boss of the Nodomi casino, is met in chapter 4 as Hit's target that Cabba has to arrest. He is quickly disposed of, but [[PaedoHunt he had enough characterization]] to be [[HateSink truly despicable]], and to start the events of Cabba meeting the arm dealer.
