* BigFishInABiggerOcean: It's established that the denizens of Universe 6, while holding a lot of similarities to Universe 7, pale in comparison to the Z-Fighters and are taken down easily despite being their universe's best fighters. This is best illustrated when Frost -- Universe 6's answer to Frieza -- agrees to fight Vegeta unrestrained after holding back, only be defeated with a swift kick from the disgusted Saiyan.

* NoNonsenseNemesis: Hit will not toy around with his targets, preferring to end his battles or kill his targets as efficiently as possible. At least, until he finds a worthy opponent. This is shown perfectly in episode 71 when we see him in the middle of a hit job on a local crime boss. He uses Time-Skip to bypass all the bosses' security guards and reach his target, calmly tells said target that he's hired to kill him, then promptly punches a hole through said target's chest, killing him instantly. [[spoiler:And when he fights Goku again, he lets Goku hit him a few times to showcase his intangibly powers, then promptly punches him through the heart, killing him instantly.]]

Later, Frieza ringed Frost out and that marked the point where U6 started to lose fighters like flies, with Jiren eliminating its best warrior and one of the best tournament fighters, Hit. A few episodes later, Frieza eliminates Cabba, leaving only Caulifla, Kale and the Namekians in the ring.

* TheAce: While she is not a member of Sadala's army unlike Cabba, in the manga she proves her worth as being TheDreaded, a prodigy that even the members of the Sadala army fear to mess with. During her fight with Frieza, Frieza states that she as a Super Saiyan is ''miles'' stronger than Goku was the first time he transformed, putting her on a whole different league. She, however, is still weaker than Golden Frieza, and ''vastly weaker'' than Kale.
* ActionGirl: One of the 14 female fighters for the Tournament of Power for Universe 6, Caulifla is a Saiyan girl with immense potential, so much she got the way to transform into Super Saiyan very easy. She, Kale, and Ribrianne are also the most promoted characters in promotional material like ''Videogame/DragonBallHeroes'' outside of Jiren.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Her softer qualities like her confidence in Kale are all but absent in the manga at first, but her caring side towards Kale shows up once Kale loses control of her powers.
** In the anime she never even speaks to Magetta. In the manga, she insults him for [[KickTheDog no reasons]], almost making him forfeit the tournament.
* AdaptationalWimp: Suffers this in the manga. In the anime, she was clearly made out to be stronger than Cabba in terms of raw power, and as a Super Saiyan 2 is roughly on par with a controlled Berserk Kale. In the manga, Cabba easily trounces her once he goes Super Saiyan. Caulifla also doesn't master the Super Saiyan 2 as easily as she does in the anime, and later when she fights Frieza, Frieza toys with her in his final form, and Golden Form with ease. That said her base form is much stronger than Cabba's and she gains the Super Saiyan form off screen which she mentions was rather easy to achieve. While Caulifla in the anime managed a few people, she never eliminates a single person [[spoiler:except Gohan as Kefla]]. Said trope ends up being responsible for her elimination: [[spoiler:Kefla in the manga is significantly less powerful because Caulifla herself is much weaker]].
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** Her dynamic with Kale in the manga. In the anime, the two are the best of friends and clearly care for one another, their relationship being a student/teacher dynamic, with Kale having an [[AmbiguouslyGay implied crush]] on her. In the manga, while Caulifla still has a bit of respect for Kale, their relationship isn't as close as it is in the anime, with Caulifla treating her more like a subordinate while Kale sees her more as a sister. It can best be seen in how Kale was recruited into the tournament. In the anime, Caulifla made Kale's involvement a stipulation for her agreeing to fight, while in the manga she is somewhat surprised, even annoyed, that Cabba brought her along. Though once she sees how strong Kale is, she is visibly proud of her and she's greatly concerned for Kale's safety once told Kale could be destroyed by her own power.
** In the manga, her relationship with Goku is ''entirely'' omitted and they don't even interact much less fight each other during the tournament.
* AmbiguouslyBi: In a rarity for Dragon Ball, there are a few hints that Caulifla is attracted to men and women in the anime. She has a [[PseudoRomanticFriendship very deep emotional connection]] to Kale who she is both physically and verbally protective of. And at the same time, she brushes off [[ClingyJealousGirl Kale's]] jealousy of Cabba, not by claiming she isn't into guys, but by stating Cabba specifically isn't the type of guy she'd be into.
* AnimeHair: An even more exaggerated spiky hairstyle than most of the Saiyan characters. If most Saiyans have pineapple hair, she has [[Videogame/ChronoTrigger Lavos]] hair.
* AntiVillain: Unlike her law-serving older brother Renso, Cabba, or a good portion of her race, she's a crass, troublemaking tomboy who runs an underground group of Saiyan delinquents. [[LovableRogue That said]], she's surprisingly tamed in her fighting style and behavior towards allies. Compared to the other fighters, some comprising of {{sadist}}s and [[TheTrickster tricksters]], Caulifla prefers the [[SpiritedCompetitor straight thrill of battle]] without the need for underhanded moves.
* BadassAdorable: She may be the leader of a gang of delinquents, but she can look absolutely adorable when she's happy or excited. She's also extremely powerful.
* BenevolentBoss: Kale, specifically, is one underling she cares deeply about in terms of her well-being, due to being her personal student. The rest of her gang, to a lesser extent, aren't blatantly mistreated by her, and they respect her back without a second thought.
* BerserkButton: Don't ever harm Kale right in front of her or she will go ballistic. Universe 10 learned this the hard way. Cabba was lucky as he only got yelled at for making Kale cry.
* BigEater: Her first scene introduces her biting down on a hunk of meat. Once Cabba meets with her, she is still eating it.
* BreastExpansion: Her Ultra Saiyan form includes a few cup sizes with all that muscle, and the camera [[MsFanservice even focuses on her chest]] when it happens just in case we didn't get the hint.
* CallingYourAttacks: ''Crush Cannon!''
* CombatPragmatist: Caulifla is a street fighter, not a refined martial artist. Thus, she has no problems fighting dirty. During her rematch with Goku, she fakes him out by pretending to fire a Ki blast only to punch Goku in the gut while he's distracted.

During her fight with Frieza, Frieza states that she his reputation.
** He easily decimates Vegeta who was fighting as a Super Saiyanis ''miles'' stronger than Goku was Blue without Vegeta even touching him once. He also has the first ability to [[spoiler:skip time he transformed, putting her on by a whole different league. She, however, is still weaker than Golden Frieza, and ''vastly weaker'' than Kale.
* ActionGirl: Onefraction of a second, effectively leaving the rest of the 14 female fighters universe standing still and allowing him to attack with impunity for brief period. He even one-ups himself by showing that he can improve while he fights, taking his Time-Skip technique to ever-increasing durations to counter Goku]], and even though [[spoiler:he lost in the end]]
** In the Tournament ofPower for Power, he is literally called the ace of Universe 6, Caulifla is a Saiyan girl and shows it by being one of the few who can hold his own against Jiren.
** He's also fought Goku three times and [[spoiler:won the first two, actually ''killing'' Goku withimmense potential, so much she got a single blow in the second, only for the third to end in a draw as both fighters collapse in exhaustion]].
* AchillesHeel: His Time-Skip is ineffective against those who are significantly more powerful than him. This is directly stated in the manga, and implied in the anime, with a Kaio-ken boosted Goku and Jiren breaking free of his techniques, albeit with some effort.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange:
** Downplayed, but Hit is somewhat more cocky in the manga than he is in the anime. In the anime he is usually TheStoic who would occasionally make a [[WhenHeSmiles small smile]] whenever he fights Goku. In the manga, he is far more expressive, making cocky grins and losing his composure more often when he is on the losing edge.
** In the manga he places a lot more focus on physical strength instead of fighting techniques. During the manga's version of the Tournament of Power, he even tells Goku that he believes that true power comes from honing a body's strength rather than relying on his Time-Skip to fight. This is the opposite of his anime counterpart, who believes that improving his Time-Skip techniques is the best way totransform into counter stronger opponents.
* AdaptationalWimp: In the manga, his Time-Skip is ineffective against a fully powered Super Saiyanvery easy. She, Kale, Blue, whereas this was not the case in the anime. Likewise, he never improves his Time-Skip ability and Ribrianne are Goku never has to use the Kaio-ken in their match. As he helpfully tells us, his power in the manga is higher than SSG but lower than SSB, while in the anime, he's strong enough to fight Goku at SSB and take hits from Goku's SSB Kaio-ken x10, but it's still his ever-improving Time-Skip that allows him to make up for the power gap. He comes back stronger in the manga's Tournament of Power, but even then, he only seems to be around Goku's "completed" SSB. In the manga equivalent of his fight against Jiren, [[spoiler:his "Time Cage" ability also didn't really stop Jiren, as Jiren was only fighting at a small fraction of his power. By contrast in the most promoted characters anime, he manages to actually trap Jiren in promotional material like ''Videogame/DragonBallHeroes'' outside the Time Cage for a small amount of Jiren.time, and Jiren has to actually put effort in to power through it. He performed better against Jiren then Goku did in his first fight]].
* AdaptiveAbility: Hit is able to improve his [[spoiler:[[TimeMaster Time-Skip technique]] on the fly in response to whoever he's fighting. This allows to stay ahead of Goku who had started to adapt to his Time-Skip, until Goku uses his Kaio-Ken to catch up]]. He's also able of adapting to Jiren's fighting style enough to be able of hitting the Pride Trooper and traps him in his Time Cage despite the huge difference in power between the two, but not enough to avoid defeat at Jiren's hands.
* AlienBlood: His blood is purple.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Standoffish, serious-faced, and initially presented and advertised as being dark and dangerous, yet the first person he seems to take issue with is Frost [[spoiler:when he attempts to escape from the tournament after Vegeta easily beats him]]. At any rate, he's a confirmed mercenary and hitman so he obviously doesn't have much problem with taking lives. However, it's worth noting [[spoiler:he doesn't try to kill Goku a second time after succeeding once, implying he likes Goku, or at least respects him]].
*AdaptationalJerkass: Her softer qualities like her confidence in Kale are all but absent AlwaysSomeoneBetter:
** He hands Vegeta a crushing defeat without even trying. This is after Vegeta beats three of the five fighters from U6.
** [[spoiler:He is on the receiving end of this from Jiren, who defeats him and rings him out in themanga at first, but her caring side towards Kale shows Tournament of Power. Hit still put up once Kale loses control of her powers.a dignified fight though.]]
* ArcVillain: Hit counts as this in his during a two-part BreatherEpisode where he's [[spoiler:hired by a mysterious employer to assassinate Goku. Somewhat averted as Goku really wanted to fight Hit, so he asked Whis to ask Vados to hire Hit]].
** In the anime she never * AwesomenessByAnalysis: Hit is able to break down his opponent's movements, gaining an understanding of them and formulating a plan on how to defeat them. He adapts to Goku's fighting style, even speaks to Magetta. In the manga, she insults him for [[KickTheDog no reasons]], almost making him forfeit the tournament.
* AdaptationalWimp: Suffers this in the manga. In the anime, she was clearly made out to be stronger than Cabba in terms of raw power, andmimicking it, as a Super Saiyan 2 is roughly on par with a controlled Berserk Kale. In the manga, Cabba easily trounces her once he goes Super Saiyan.

Against Dypso, he slowly figures out how the type speedster is anticipating his movements and turns it to his advantage.
* BadassArmFold: Often seen doing this, with some games even having this as his idle animation.
* BadassBoast: In ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse2'', Hit will say a boast to the Time Patroller, and the ones with the Earthling and Frieza's (Frost?) clan patrollers are the most interesting.
--> '''Hit:''' ''[to an Earthling]'' I have lived for 1,000 years... you short-lived creatures cannot imagine the breadth ofguy she'd my experience.

the same race as Frost. In that case, you won't last long...
** His [[MemeticMutation infamous]] line when chosen in Xenoverse 2 is this. He says, "Time to make the donuts.", which is old slang for "Time to go to work." In other words, Hit is indirectly reminding the player that killing people is little more than a casual day job for him.
** During his fight against Dyspo, K'nsi saves his fellow Pride Trooper from a ring-out and tells him that he'll take the assassin down with him. [[InstantlyProvenWrong And then Hit time-skips behind him...]]
-->'''Hit:''' The only thing you'll be taking with you is ''pain''.
*AnimeHair: An BadassLongcoat: Wears one that goes down to his knees. Unlike many examples, his actually serves a practical purpose, at least in the manga: He deliberately hides his legs from his opponent by placing his hands inside his pockets and adjusting his coat, in order to make his Time-Skip even more exaggerated spiky hairstyle than most of the Saiyan characters. If most Saiyans have pineapple hair, she has [[Videogame/ChronoTrigger Lavos]] hair.
* AntiVillain: Unlike her law-serving older brother Renso, Cabba, or a good portion of her race, she's a crass, troublemaking tomboy who runs an underground group of Saiyan delinquents.

*BenevolentBoss: Kale, specifically, BatmanGambit: Hit fakes powering up into a SuperMode to bait Goku into attacking him head-on. In actuality, Hit just increased the duration of his Time-Skp technique.
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: He manages to do this against Goku. Part of what makes the Saiyans so powerful, especially Goku, isone underling she cares deeply about in terms of her well-being, due their ability to being her personal student. The rest of her gang, to a lesser extent, aren't blatantly mistreated by her, adapt and grow stronger as they respect her back without a second thought.

* BeneathTheMask: Most of Universe10 learned this the hard way. Cabba was lucky 6 knows Hit as a {{Consummate|Professional}} ProfessionalKiller, but get him into a situation where he only got yelled at for making Kale cry.
* BigEater: Her first scene introduces her biting down on a hunk of meat. Once Cabba meets with her, she is still eating it.
* BreastExpansion: Her Ultra Saiyan form includes a few cup sizes with all that muscle,actually has to put in an effort to achieve his goals, and the camera [[MsFanservice even focuses mask drops to reveal a ChallengeSeeker who has been stuck in a VictoryIsBoring rut for centuries.
* BoringButPractical: Unlike the Saiyans, the Frieza Race or most other highly-powerful combatants seen up to his introduction, Hit has no SuperMode or any way to boost his raw power, relying purely onher chest]] when it happens just in case we didn't technique [[spoiler:and his Time-Skip ability]].

series including his own two-parter arc and one of the key players in the Tournament of Power for Universe 6, being one of the biggest threats to [[FinalBoss Jiren]]. He's also heavily showcased in video games being among the most prominent ''Super'' characters in the roster.
*CallingYourAttacks: ''Crush Cannon!''
CloseRangeCombatant: Zigzagged. At very glance, it seems like Hit is exclusively a close range fighter, using his incredible speed and Time Skip to allow him to close distance between him and his enemy. However, Hit later demonstrates that he does have some incredibly powerful techniques that he can perform from quite a distance away, though it seems that his best fighting ability is from being up close and personal.
* CombatCompliment: After disseminating Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta, he notes that Vegeta was the first to take so many blows to his vitals.
* CombatPragmatist:Caulifla His ability to [[spoiler:skip time]] is a street fighter, not massive StoryBreakerPower, and is about as unfair in a refined martial artist. Thus, she has no problems fighting dirty. During her rematch with Goku, she fakes him out by pretending to fire fight as going for a Ki blast only to punch Goku GroinAttack. As there's nothing in the gut while rules of either tournaments forbidding it, he exploits the crap out of it whenever possible.
* TheComicallySerious: While he isn't this in the anime, the manga gave him this attribute, with him falling asleep during the Tournament matches.
* ConfusionFu: After realizing Dypso can sense when he tenses up his body in order to use his Time-Skip, Hit proceeds to deliberately tense up in order to fake him out.
* ConsummateProfessional: Gives off this air. He's a legendary hitman, but is stoic and completely serious, and mostly acts like the only reason he'sdistracted. present is to get his reward and otherwise isn't interested in the situation. And even when he [[spoiler:curbstomps Frost]], he only did so to keep him from stealing his prize and doesn't even kill him, even though he very easily could have, rather than doing it to be a sadist. When shown on the job, he simply uses his [[spoiler:Time-Skip]] to bypass everyone who isn't his mark, kills the target quickly and as painlessly as possible, and leaves.
** He easily decimates Vegeta who was fighting as a Super Saiyan
* ActionGirl: One
** In the Tournament of
** He's also fought Goku three times and [[spoiler:won the first two, actually ''killing'' Goku with
* AchillesHeel: His Time-Skip is ineffective against those who are significantly more powerful than him. This is directly stated in the manga, and implied in the anime, with a Kaio-ken boosted Goku and Jiren breaking free of his techniques, albeit with some effort.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange:
** Downplayed, but Hit is somewhat more cocky in the manga than he is in the anime. In the anime he is usually TheStoic who would occasionally make a [[WhenHeSmiles small smile]] whenever he fights Goku. In the manga, he is far more expressive, making cocky grins and losing his composure more often when he is on the losing edge.
** In the manga he places a lot more focus on physical strength instead of fighting techniques. During the manga's version of the Tournament of Power, he even tells Goku that he believes that true power comes from honing a body's strength rather than relying on his Time-Skip to fight. This is the opposite of his anime counterpart, who believes that improving his Time-Skip techniques is the best way to
* AdaptationalWimp: In the manga, his Time-Skip is ineffective against a fully powered Super Saiyan
* AdaptiveAbility: Hit is able to improve his [[spoiler:[[TimeMaster Time-Skip technique]] on the fly in response to whoever he's fighting. This allows to stay ahead of Goku who had started to adapt to his Time-Skip, until Goku uses his Kaio-Ken to catch up]]. He's also able of adapting to Jiren's fighting style enough to be able of hitting the Pride Trooper and traps him in his Time Cage despite the huge difference in power between the two, but not enough to avoid defeat at Jiren's hands.
* AlienBlood: His blood is purple.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Standoffish, serious-faced, and initially presented and advertised as being dark and dangerous, yet the first person he seems to take issue with is Frost [[spoiler:when he attempts to escape from the tournament after Vegeta easily beats him]]. At any rate, he's a confirmed mercenary and hitman so he obviously doesn't have much problem with taking lives. However, it's worth noting [[spoiler:he doesn't try to kill Goku a second time after succeeding once, implying he likes Goku, or at least respects him]].
*
** He hands Vegeta a crushing defeat without even trying. This is after Vegeta beats three of the five fighters from U6.
** [[spoiler:He is on the receiving end of this from Jiren, who defeats him and rings him out in the
* ArcVillain: Hit counts as this in his during a two-part BreatherEpisode where he's [[spoiler:hired by a mysterious employer to assassinate Goku. Somewhat averted as Goku really wanted to fight Hit, so he asked Whis to ask Vados to hire Hit]].
* AdaptationalWimp: Suffers this in the manga. In the anime, she was clearly made out to be stronger than Cabba in terms of raw power, and
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** Her dynamic with Kale in the manga. In the anime, the two are the best of friends and clearly care for one another, their relationship being a student/teacher dynamic, with Kale having an [[AmbiguouslyGay implied crush]] on her. In the manga, while Caulifla still has a bit of respect for Kale, their relationship isn't as close as it is in the anime, with Caulifla treating her more like a subordinate while Kale sees her more as a sister. It can best be seen in how Kale was recruited into the tournament. In the anime, Caulifla made Kale's involvement a stipulation for her agreeing to fight, while in the manga she is somewhat surprised, even annoyed, that Cabba brought her along. Though once she sees how strong Kale is, she is visibly proud of her and she's greatly concerned for Kale's safety once told Kale could be destroyed by her own power.
** In the manga, her relationship with Goku is ''entirely'' omitted and they don't even interact much less fight each other during the tournament.
* AmbiguouslyBi: In a rarity for Dragon Ball, there are a few hints that Caulifla is attracted to men and women in the anime. She has a [[PseudoRomanticFriendship very deep emotional connection]] to Kale who she is both physically and verbally protective of. And at
* BadassArmFold: Often seen doing this, with some games even having this as his idle animation.
* BadassBoast: In ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse2'', Hit will say a boast to the Time Patroller, and the ones with the Earthling and Frieza's (Frost?) clan patrollers are the most interesting.
--> '''Hit:''' ''[to an Earthling]'' I have lived for 1,000 years... you short-lived creatures cannot imagine the breadth of
--> '''Hit:''' ''[to a Frieza's clan patroller]'' You appear to be
** His [[MemeticMutation infamous]] line when chosen in Xenoverse 2 is this. He says, "Time to make the donuts.", which is old slang for "Time to go to work." In other words, Hit is indirectly reminding the player that killing people is little more than a casual day job for him.
** During his fight against Dyspo, K'nsi saves his fellow Pride Trooper from a ring-out and tells him that he'll take the assassin down with him. [[InstantlyProvenWrong And then Hit time-skips behind him...]]
-->'''Hit:''' The only thing you'll be taking with you is ''pain''.

* AntiVillain: Unlike her law-serving older brother Renso, Cabba, or a good portion of her race, she's a crass, troublemaking tomboy who runs an underground group of Saiyan delinquents. [[LovableRogue That said]], she's surprisingly tamed in her fighting style and behavior towards allies. Compared to the other fighters, some comprising of {{sadist}}s and [[TheTrickster tricksters]], Caulifla prefers the [[SpiritedCompetitor straight thrill of battle]] without the need for underhanded moves.
* BadassAdorable: She may be the leader of a gang of delinquents, but she can look absolutely adorable when she's happy or excited. She's also extremely powerful.

* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: He manages to do this against Goku. Part of what makes the Saiyans so powerful, especially Goku, is

** His fight against Vegeta is completely one-sided in his favor with Hit effortlessly hitting Vegeta at vital points and foiling his attempts to block or dodge his attacks with his timeskip. Even when Vegeta finally manages to grab Hit's right arm after the asssassin hit his belly and tries to punch Hit's face, it's only for him to be finally knocked out after after Hit strikes one of his vital points with a stronger attack from his right hand. Hit thus faces Goku completely healthy and uninjured.
** The first "fight" between Goku and Hit where Hit isn't holding back his killing techniques ends with [[spoiler:Goku killed with a single blow to the chest after about a minute of hitting empty air]].
* CurbStompCushion: Truth be told, Hit had no chance of beating Jiren, as his strength far exceeds Hit's own, but Hit is able to use his abilities in such a way he's able to push Jiren to the edge and causes the other man to exert himself for the first time in the series, which ultimately results in his elimination.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Hit may be a cold-hearted assassin who wears dark clothing, but he has a strong sense of honor and only seems to kill when he contracted to.
* DecapitatedArmy: In a matter of speaking. [[spoiler:Once Hit gets eliminated, things quickly take a turn for the worse for Universe 6, and Cabba, Kale and Caulifla soon join him on the bench.]]
* DesperationAttack: Hit's "Time Cage" attack is good for keeping opponents still, but it requires a large amount of energy to keep the target still, and cannot attack in any way other than with the technique holding the target in the first place and even then it risks failing, which Hit himself notes is a very un-assassin thing to do.
* DieOrFly: Hit is more than capable of averting TransformationIsAFreeAction, but he doesn't because his opponent's newfound power will place him in a situation where he ''needs'' to better himself in order to win - and that seems to be the only thing truly capable of pushing him to do it.
* DidntSeeThatComing:
** Hit is shocked that Goku literally broke his [[spoiler:PocketDimension that he was using to avoid Goku's attacks]]. This left him wide open for Goku's Kamehameha.
** [[spoiler:He was clearly not expecting Jiren to be able to move while he had him stuck in a Time Cage. Jiren managing to flat out crush his final attack despite being semi-immobilized is the last straw before Jiren knocks him off the arena.]]
* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: When he's contracted to kill [[spoiler:Goku]], he mentions that he doesn't really want to, and that if [[spoiler:Goku]] takes him up on his offer to disappear off the grid, he would fake his death for him. [[spoiler:Goku doesn't take the offer and temporarily ends up dead.]]
* TheDreaded: He's known as a legendary powerful hitman in his universe. Frost is completely terrified when Hit catches him trying to steal the reward treasures and the cube spaceship. Even Goku and Vegeta note that he is likely the most powerful member of his team and thus try to save their Super Saiyan Blue power for him. Champa confirms that he's a legendary assassin who he personally hand chose, and is confident he can defeat both Vegeta and Goku. [[spoiler:His reputation is enough to where he is one of ''two'' people Jiren acknowledges as being worthy of fighting him. As soon as he eliminates Hit, he declares nobody else can match him.]]
* DueToTheDead: Hit seems to have a code of paying respects at the graves of people he's killed. He takes a necklace from the crime boss he murders at the start of episode, and places it at what is seemingly that guy's gravestone, and when he [[spoiler:kills Goku]] later in the episode he states that he'll return when they've dug his grave. It's not clarified why he would do this.
* DullSurprise: While everyone is shocked when they see Vegeta go Super Saiyan Blue on Cabba, Hit takes note of it, looks at Goku, and then closes his eyes again.
* ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy: Zigzagged. He won't tell anyone about his abilities and he kills his target seconds after engaging them, however, when fighting against Goku he does confirm Goku's observations about how his powers work and will even correct him if he's off.
* {{Expy}}:
** Ends up having more than a few similarities to ''Z'' filler character Pikkon: An alien stronger than previous villains who met Goku in a tournament, was at first cold and standoffish, but eventually became a friendly rival. As an added bonus, Goku even used Super Saiyan Kaio-ken in his fight with Pikkon and used Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken against Hit.
** More obviously, Hit's outfit, mannerisms, and [[spoiler:ability to briefly freeze time]] are all blatant references to [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Jotaro Kujo]]. It might even count as an ActorAllusion on the dub end given that Creator/MatthewMercer voices both of them.
* FinalBoss: He is the final and most powerful fighter on Champa's team. Champa is so confident in Hit's ability that he fully expects him to win him the entire tournament, even after seeing Vegeta's Super Saiyan Blue form.
* {{Foil}}:
** Like Goku, Hit enjoys a good fight and likes to keep things fair and square during a duel; he doesn't attack Goku when he has the chance to end the match and would prefer to take on Goku's new technique head-on rather than prevent him from going through with it. Just like Goku, he also studies his opponent carefully and develops new ways to overtake his foes while in the middle of a battle, taking note of Goku doing the same to him. His stance even becomes very similar to Goku's after improving enough. In the Tournament of Power, they are both referred to as {{The Ace}}s of their respective universes. However unlike Goku, Hit isn't a hero given his day job is an assassin. He's also very [[TheStoic stoic]] to contrast the excitable Goku's.
** To Piccolo. Both are TheStoic [[TheStrategist strategists]] on their respective teams who make up for a lack of transformations and raw power with unorthodox techniques that allow them to get the upper-hand. Both encountered Goku in a tournament and ended up becoming a WorthyOpponent to him, as well as teaming up in an unlikely alliance to take on a greater threat. The foil is while both were enemies to Goku, Piccolo was a villain who later becomes somewhat of an AntiHero of the GoodIsNotNice variety, while Hit despite never being fully villainous isn't a hero either and remains an assassin albeit a nice one with a CodeOfHonor.
** Also one to Tien. Both are [[TheRival rivals]] to Goku, who encounter him in a Tournament and best him in a very close match, before coming to see him as a WorthyOpponent and giving him a PetTheDog moment. Both Hit and Tien rely on unorthodox techniques in their combat to make up for the gap in strength they have to Goku, though unlike Tien, Hit is the genuine WorldsBestWarrior of his universe. Furthermore, Tien initially had desires to become an assassin, while Hit is an actual assassin. The contrast, much like Piccolo, is that Tien started off as a villain who pulled a HeelFaceTurn while Hit was never straight up evil but doesn't exactly join the good guys either and stays a NobleDemon.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: In the intro segment that shows off the Universe 6 fighters, he's the only one that looks at the screen (viewers) while firing a laser beam from his finger, almost as if he's firing it towards the viewer.
* FriendlyRivalry: Near the end of episode 72, Hit and Goku show signs of this [[spoiler:although, even though Goku had Whis then Vados hire Hit by proxy just so he could fight him, Hit still states he will kill him and to be careful.]]
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: During the Tournament of Power, Hit's enthusiastic wide-open smile [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DN5Xm92VQAA6A_B.jpg can be seen]] on the far-right side of the cheering Universe 6 stands in a quick reaction shot. [[spoiler:This was prompted from seeing the Saiyan fusion, Kefla, sucker-punching Super Saiyan God Goku's face by surprise.]]
* GrayAndGreyMorality: Make no mistake, he's better than the war profiteering Frost, but by no means is Hit actually a hero, he's strictly a HitmanWithAHeart. The best example of this would be during his rematch with Goku, who after offering to fake his death, ''does'' actually kill him, however briefly. This was even after the two had mutual respect. And further pushing this point, Hit makes it clear that despite their friendliness, if Goku ever has another target put on his head, Hit will treat him like a mark once again.
* GoodCounterpart:
** In a clever bit of misdirection, it seems that ''he's'' the real good or at least neutral counterpart to Frieza. Both are natural prodigies feared in their universe as the mightiest force of death. Both immediately {{curb stomp|Battle}} Vegeta, then face Goku in an encounter which represents both the introduction of a never-before-seen form of power for Goku, as well as the first time they've ever had to improve their skills. Both possess creative (for their time) abilities taking them beyond the typical ''DBZ'' BeamOWar fighting style, {{purple|IsPowerful}} as a color motif, and inhuman lifespan and aging patterns (Frieza entered his prime within the first eight years of his life and has retained it for decades, while Hit is over a thousand years old). However, Hit is a mercenary who does all his work himself, carries a professional attitude about his work, and only kills when the parameters of the job call for it, whereas Frieza is a real-estate tycoon who employs a galactic army and takes sadistic glee in the death and fear he causes. Hit outright states he cannot transform to improve his power, while Frieza has to transform in order to restrain it. Hit is standoffish, stoic, and is seen in {{dark|IsNotEvil}} colors, yet when presented with a challenge that forces him to improve he relishes the opportunity like a true SpiritedCompetitor, whereas Frieza plays himself off as [[WickedCultured cultured]] and [[FauxAffablyEvil polite]], and is seen in {{light|IsNotGood}} colors, when the whole time his greatest fear is being rivaled or surpassed and when it finally happens he slowly but surely loses any and all grip on sanity he ever had.
** Stepping outside manga-canonical materials and comparing Hit to a closer lookalike, he can also be seen as one to Frieza's older brother Cooler, almost to the extent that Cooler can be seen as the bridge in between the two. Like both Hit and Frieza, Cooler is a seemingly ageless natural prodigy and feared scourge of death with purple as a color motif. Like Hit, Cooler is far more measured and professional in his approach in contrast to Frieza's egocentric pretentiousness and sadism. However, Cooler still shares Frieza's traits of being an imperial tycoon with a team of subordinates, a LightIsNotGood motif and a raging hatred of superior opponents. Hit is a mercenary loner who goes by DarkIsNotEvil and welcomes a true challenge as a chance to test and better himself.
** He could also be considered one to Mercenary Tao. Both being well known and feared assassins, but whereas Tao is a PsychoForHire who not only takes personal glee in his kills but will kill people he doesn't even need to kill simply because they're in his way or they slighted him in some way (Bora, The Tailor), Hit is very professional in his kills, treating them as nothing more than a job and only ever kills who he's hired to kill, bypassing everyone else. Hit also has a code of honor when it comes to fighting and welcomes a good challenge while Tao is a DirtyCoward who resorts to underhanded tactics the moment the fight stops going his way.
* GracefulLoser: He takes his loss to Goku during their rematch in stride, vowing to kill Goku again someday before leaving.
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Averted massively, as per his own admittance. He can't transform to multiply his power, so he has to use good old-fashioned hard work to get stronger.
* HeroKiller: Even if his death was temporary, he manages to take out [[spoiler:''Goku''.]]
* HitmanWithAHeart: Downplayed. He may be a cold, unhesitating killer, but he's also a NobleDemon with a code of honour who goes out of his way to avoid collateral damage.
* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum: He's unable to use his best techniques in both the Universe 6 tournament and the Tournament of Power because they're specifically ''assassination'' techniques, and killing your opponent isn't allowed. This is one reason [[spoiler:Goku ordered a hit on himself: he wanted to fight Hit at his best, with no holds barred]].
* HonorBeforeReason:
** Hit could have beaten Goku at several points during the fight, but deliberately allows Goku to recover or fights fairly out of respect despite Champa's insistence that he finish the fight immediately. [[spoiler:He even decides to throw the final fight against Monaka as a sign of respect for Goku even though he knew the outcome of said action would be Champa murdering him]].
** In Episode 71, [[spoiler:he offers to let Goku live while telling whoever contracted him that he had killed him out of respect for him. Goku himself then pulls this trope by refusing and wanting to try fighting Hit as an equal. Once Goku does so, however, [[SubvertedTrope he doesn't hesitate to go through with the kill]].]]
* HopelessBossFight: Regardless of whether Hit was one of the best fighters in the Tournament of Powers, he was still caught up in one of this during his fight with [[spoiler:Jiren]], specially when his last attack against him didn't work.
* HotBlooded: He hides it heavily under his stoic demeanor, but ultimately Hit is excited to meet someone like Goku who can fight him all-out on equal terms.
* IAmNotLeftHanded:
** After improving his [[spoiler:Time-Skip technique the first time, Hit tells Goku the new duration. He then notes that Goku will likely adapt in the same way he did the first time and uses the technique to hit Goku with RapidFireFisticuffs, revealing that he actually increased the duration more than double what he told Goku]].
** Goku takes notice near the end of their fight in Episode 40 [[spoiler:that, due to the tournament's no-kill rule, Hit has actually been holding back during the entire match and hasn't been fighting all out in case he accidentally killed someone. Goku notes that, if he had been able to kill, Hit could have beaten him with his last attack]].
** Goku trains to adapt to Hit's [[spoiler:Time-Skip]], only to be caught off-guard when Hit uses an IntangibleMan technique when next they meet.
** During his fight with [[spoiler:Jiren]], once he realizes his Time-Skip ability won't do him much good, Hit pulls all stops and [[spoiler:traps Jiren in a "cage of time", where he supposedly is left paralyzed in place]]. He then [[spoiler:tries to unleash one final attack when it seems that even ''that'' won't be enough to deal with Jiren]], but [[spoiler:this still isn't enough to deal with him, and he winds up being eliminated.]]
* InformedAbility: His killing techniques in the manga. While Hit showcases them in the anime in his rematch against Goku and in the Tournament of Power, he never once uses them in the manga despite them being implied that Hit could use them like in the anime.
* IntangibleMan: When he shows up to kill Goku, he reveals a technique that makes physical attacks pass right through him. [[spoiler:Vados reveals that what Hit is really doing is using the "time" he's "skipped" with his Time-Skip technique to create a pocket universe, which partially phases him out of local time-space. The downside is that he's limited in his attacking options while doing this, and he can't keep it up forever. Once Goku figures out that Hit is "not there", he's able to break down the pocket universe and attack Hit anyway.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: PlayedWith. While Hit [[AntiHero is not a villain]], he is a major antagonistic force in two of 'Super' arcs. He lacks any comical trait, and in fact, when the show focuses on him, there is a ToneShift from a lighthearted show to a noir-ish mood, very typical of cyberpunk stories.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: After seeing Jiren [[spoiler:neutralize Kale with one attack]], he wisely retreats and allows Goku to handle the problem.
* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: While there have been a fair share of enemies and allies with ConfusionFu that keeps the enemy on their toes, Hit's abilities are so distinct from what is usually encountered that he's pretty much a PuzzleBoss where it requires both strength and brains to understand both how Hit's powers work and be strong enough to counter them every time he fights his enemies.
* TheLeader: The unofficial one of Universe 6 during the Tournament of Power by virtue of being their WorldsStrongestMan. The Supreme Kai of Universe 11 notes he's both their ace and emotional support and concludes that losing him would quickly result in Universe 6 falling shortly afterwards. [[spoiler:He was sadly proven right.]]
* MeaningfulName:
** He's a rather serious warrior and martial artist, named Hit. He's also a legendary hitman, making this a pun on his job.
** When his name was first translated into Roman characters, it was mistranslated to "Heat", making it seem like he had a connection with Frost. Needless to say, both notions were quickly corrected.
* MundaneUtility: The real purpose behind his powerful [[spoiler:Time-Skip]] ability is to avoid being detected by anyone except his target.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Hit. His character notes even suggest the name (which is a pun on "hitman") is supposed to imply a sense of danger.
* NobleDemon: Despite being a ProfessionalKiller, he's actually quite noble and chivalrous all things considered. Hit allows Goku to recover from his heavy blow because Goku's strength and technique forced him to improve his own abilities, and he feels he owes the other fighter for that. He also avoids sniping Goku while he's preparing his ultimate technique. He also [[spoiler:rings himself out when Monaka successfully punched him to return Goku's favor when he did the same]]. In Episode 71, [[spoiler:he offers to let Goku live and walk away if he disappears. Goku refuses and temporarily dies because of it]]. Of the hits we've seen him do, he also avoids killing anyone ''but'' his target, using his [[spoiler:Time-Skip]] to just bypass guards and civilians. He also lets his targets know they're about to die, kills them from the front, and does so quickly with a minimum of pain.
* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: Make no mistake, Hit ''will'' kill you if he's paid to do it, regardless of whether you prove a challenge or not, as he's a ''{{Professional|Killer}}'' [[ProfessionalKiller Killer]]. That said, if you do prove a challenge he'll enjoy the chance to improve his skills while trying to kill you.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Hit will not toy around with his targets, preferring to end his battles or kill his targets as efficiently as possible. At least, until he finds a worthy opponent. This is shown perfectly in episode 71 when we see him in the middle of a hit job on a local crime boss. He uses Time-Skip to bypass all the bosses' security guards and reach his target, calmly tells said target that he's hired to kill him, then promptly punches a hole through said target's chest, killing him instantly. [[spoiler:And when he fights Goku again, he lets Goku hit him a few times to showcase his intangibly powers, then promptly punches him through the heart, killing him instantly.]]
* NothingPersonal: Hit is a professional. There is no malice in what he does, only pragmatism and dignity. Heck, the only reason he comes after Frost was because the emperor was putting a wrench in his own arrangement with Vados. [[spoiler:He makes this more clear than ever when he's hired to kill Goku. He'll do the job, make no mistake, but he not for a moment allows this to dampen his open fondness for the other.]]
* NotSoAboveItAll: During the match, once Goku starts getting the upper-hand, he starts screaming and clutching his arms presumably to power up, only to reveal that he can't power up like the Saiyans and simply improved the duration of his Time-Skip. He was only screaming like that to imitate Goku. It seems Goku's eccentric ways have rubbed off on him.
* NotSoSimilar: To Frieza of all people when he announces to Goku and the audience that because he was so powerful, he never had to improve himself once in his life. Unlike Frieza, however, he improves on-the-fly, and is grateful to Goku for pushing him to get better.
* NotSoStoic:
** He was cold and emotionless for most of the tournament, including in his fight with Vegeta. He begins to shed his stoic demeanor after he finds a WorthyOpponent in Goku. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness He even genuinely smiles, something several characters note]].
** During the Tournament of Power, Hit remained his usual cold self for most of the tournament... ''until it took him to fight Jiren'', and started to scream out of frustration at how useless he was against the dreaded Gray of Universe 11.
---> '''Hit:''' [[BreakTheBadass The moment I couldn't stop him with one hit, it was all over.]]
* OhCrap:
** Has a minor one when Goku figures out his technique and manages to block his attacks and hit him. He has a major one after Goku [[spoiler:{{No Sell}}s his Time-Skip technique when using his Super Saiyan Blue/Kaioken combination. His most severe one is when he faces the prospect of his own death at the hands of Champa for losing the tournament.]]
** He suffers another one of these when [[spoiler:Jiren]] not only quickly adapts to his Time-Skip ability, but [[spoiler:manages to overcome his Cage of Time and move during it, despite being supposed to be ''frozen in time'', and manage to nullify and destroy his final attack, leaving him at his mercy.]]
* OneHitKill: He uses a single strike to perform assassination, shooting a beam from his fist which evidently crushes the victim's heart.
* TheOneThatGotAway: Vegeta never got to settle the score with Hit in the Tournament of Power as he had hoped. In the manga, this extends to Goku as well because the "Hit Rematch" mini-arc was anime only, and in the Tournament they decide to team up against Universe 11 much like in the anime.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He's only involved in the tournament to get Champa's cube as Vados offered him, and otherwise doesn't seem at all interested in the other matches at all. He only [[spoiler:does anything about Frost]] because he was trying to steal his prize. Later subverted when he faces off against Goku and considers him a WorthyOpponent. [[spoiler:This sentiment was enough for Hit to throw the tournament to ''Monaka''. He even tells Champa that he doesn't want the space cube anymore]].
* OutOfCharacterMoment: During the Champa Arc tournament, the normally {{Stoic}} Hit goes all ScreamingWarrior to power up like most characters. Subverted in that it was only for show, and he immediately points out he can't just transform to power up, but has to avert HardWorkHardlyWorks.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: More ''overpowered'' by awesome. Hit is practically unbeatable on paper, but Goku's talent for powering up just simply ''overrides'' every one of Hit's sequential advantages over him.
* PetTheDog: In their second fight, Hit offered [[spoiler:Goku]] the opportunity to fake his death if he just disappeared off the grid. [[spoiler:Goku]], however [[HonorBeforeReason is more focused]] on fighting Hit at full strength [[spoiler:and dies as a result. Hit also states he would visit Goku's grave once it was completed.]]
* PocketDimension: He has a phase ability that works by him [[spoiler:storing the time he skips in another dimension, which he can freely enter. Once he is in this dimension he can't be hit, but he's free to attack this opponent, although it's limited. He can't stay in it forever, however, since it's limited to the time he has stored and it can be shattered by a powerful energy burst]].
* PowerTrio: In ''Super Dragon Ball Heroes'' he forms one with Goku and Jiren as the three of them team up to fight Zamasu and later Hearts.
* PressurePoint: Hit uses his [[spoiler:Time-Skip technique]] to target the vital parts of his opponents, critically damaging them in the process. Hit is surprised that Vegeta is able to survive this (despite being KO'd) and he says that if Goku keeps on attacking him before finding out how to dodge his technique, Goku will die.
* ProfessionalKiller: He's a legendary hitman in his universe. When he confronts Frost about trying to steal the treasure and cube ship, Frost asks if Champa or someone from their universe hired him to kill him. According to Whis, Hit has never failed to kill a target, given him the nickname [[RedBaron "The Flawless Hit"]].
* PurpleIsPowerful: Has purple skin, and is considered the most powerful member of the team, proving to be far more powerful than Frost and Cabba. Even without his main ability, he's still extremely powerful.
* PuzzleBoss: What makes Hit so dangerous isn't his physical power, but his abilities. He has the ability to [[spoiler:[[TimeMaster skip time]]]] and attack his opponent when they're vulnerable. He also has [[spoiler:invisible energy attacks that can instantly stops someone's heart if they hit on top of being able to create a pocket dimension where he stores all the time he skipped, which allows him to phase through his enemy's attacks like a ghost]]. Every time Goku fights Hit, he spends most of the battle just trying to figure out and counter Hit's techniques.
* PunnyName: His name is Hit, as of "hitman", and he is well known for killing and defeating people with just one hit.
--> '''Champa:''' [[{{Pun}} Hit! Nice hit!]]
* Really700YearsOld: Hit is over 1,000 years old. He looks to be only in his mid-40s by mortal standards.
* RedBaron: He is given the nickname, "The Flawless Hit", since he never fails to kill a target.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has red eyes, and looks rather intimidating. Frost definitely fears him and [[TheDreaded for good reasons]] since he is the [[ProfessionalKiller best assassin in his universe]] who never fails to kill a target.
* SeniorSleepCycle: The manga humorously gives Hit this attribute, as he sleeps through most of the tournament matches. This seems to partly be a display of disinterest in the low-stakes battles, but considering that he's [[Really700YearsOld over 1,000 years old]], he might need the shuteye for his old bones.
* ShadowArchetype: Hit shares Goku's uncanny ability to adapt and evolve new techniques as a fight drags out. Initially, Hit is also completely disinterested in fighting for the sake of it, [[{{Foil}} in complete contrast]] to Goku, but the longer the two fight, [[WorthyOpponent the more Hit starts to enjoy it.]]
* SignatureMove: His Time-Skip technique, which in itself is abroad label for a variety of Hit's techniques.
* SingleStrokeBattle: How the result of Goku and Hit's rematch in episode 71 ends, [[spoiler:not only is Goku unable to even touch Hit thanks to the latter's IntangibleMan powers but Hit only needs to fire one of his signature killing fist attacks to crush Goku's heart and kill him.]]
* SmallRoleBigImpact: In the manga's version of the Tournament of Power. Hit gets taken out easily by Jiren in the first few minutes of the tournament, but in that brief time he manages to save CSSB Goku from getting knocked off after his initial CurbStompBattle with the Gray. If Hit hadn't intervened, Jiren would have easily eliminated Goku, and would have torn through the rest of the competition with basically zero resistance without Ultra Instinct to challenge him. He would have undoubtedly been the victor which, depending on how truthful he was about his wish, would have led to the seven universes Zeno destroyed never being brought back.
* SpiritedCompetitor: What Hit is BeneathTheMask, to the surprise of everyone in-universe. The reason for his stoic behavior [[VictoryIsBoring is because no one in his Universe was ever able to push Hit to his limits]]... and then he met Goku.
--> '''Hit:''' Your greatness has fueled my own Goku! As you rise even higher, then by necessity so will I! I want to see where this competition goes, for my own sake! ''([[WhenHeSmiles smirks]])'' ''Let's take this to its peak.''
* TheStoic: Rarely, if ever drops his calm, serious demeanor no matter what is going on around him. Even having a cracked glass shard fly directly at him made from Vados' barrier doesn't do so much as make him open his eyes. [[spoiler:Once Goku gives him a good fight, he starts getting serious, and he is shown to break his stoic view, either by reacting in a surprised and/or angry manner or even smiling]].
* ShoutOut: His stoic attitude, coated purple appearance and time-stopping power pay tribute to Jotaro Kujo.
* StockShonenRival: To a lesser degree than Vegeta and Piccolo, but Hit still checks most of the criteria. He is Goku's primary rival who notably does not join Goku's team. Hit contrasts Goku by being stoic, serious, and calculating (not unlike Piccolo), but nonetheless treats Goku as a WorthyOpponent who he respects for his strength and his drive. Goku extends the same courtesy to Hit and is eager for further battles with him to better himself.
* StoryBreakerPower:
** While Hit is strong in his own right, his true power lies in his special technique. He is able to [[spoiler:[[TimeStandsStill Skip Time]] for a fraction of a second]]. Since Hit has SuperSpeed, even this brief period is enough for him to cause major damage that his opponents have almost no hope of defending against. There is also no limit to the amount of times he can use this technique and only has a very brief cooldown between uses. When Goku learns to counter it, Hit [[spoiler:learns to improve the technique each time, going from .2, to .5, and beyond]].
** When Goku has his rematch with Hit, [[spoiler:he shows off his improved abilities, like having invisible energy attacks that can instantly stop someone's heart if they land. He also can create a pocket dimension where he stores all the time he skipped, allowing him to phase through attacks like a ghost]]. Goku only manages to overcome Hit thanks to being a [[GeniusBruiser combat genius]] who quickly learns how to counter Hit's techniques.
* SuperpowerLottery: While Hit is a powerful fighter in his own right, his true strength lies in his ability to [[spoiler:skip time for a fraction of a second, allowing him to bypass attacks and damage an enemy's vitals before they can react. And if he's facing a particularly strong opponent like Goku, he can improve the duration of his Time-Skip. His rematch with Goku also shows he can store all the time he skipped in a pocket dimension which phases him out of local space-time and makes him virtually untouchable. Aside from that, Hit can fire invisible ki blasts that can instantly stop a target's heart and can phase through objects to hit opponents. Both of Goku's fights with Hit have him spending the majority of the fight trying to figure out how to counter Hit's techniques]]
* SuperSpeed: While it's not particularly focused on, Hit moves ''incredibly fast'' even for the characters of DB, as he's able to land several solid blows on his opponent in fractions of a second, and is shown to move considerably fast when he needs to. This makes his time-skip, which only lasts a fraction of a second prior to his improvement, deadly. While a fraction of a second may seem instantaneous to an ordinary human, a fraction can be much longer for someone who can move and perceive things much, much faster.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Downplayed, but a stoic enemy met in a tournament who pushes Goku to his limits and forces him to use Kaio-ken on top of Super Saiyan to get a win that turns from an ArrogantKungFuGuy to a FriendlyRival very similarly resembles Pikkon, who himself is a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute to Piccolo. But that said, Pikkon and Hit have many differences in ability and personality, the former being a HotBlooded ArrogantKungFuGuy with ElementalPowers and Hit being TheStoic with TimeStandsStill powers.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck:
** Hit knew what was waiting for him the moment he [[spoiler:purposefully lost the tournament to Universe 7 as a result of his new-found respect for Goku: Champa's wrath.]]
** [[spoiler:As soon as Jiren '''breaks''' his final attack against him, Hit flat out admits he knew he wasn't going to stop him, and was eliminated for his trouble]].
* TimeMaster: He can [[spoiler:skip time for a fraction of a second to dodge opponents and damage them]]. He decimated Vegeta with this technique, but Goku is able to figure out how it works and anticipated his attacks ahead of time, blocking before Hit's attacks could reach their target. After a while with fighting Goku, [[spoiler:Hit is able to extend this to 0.2 of a second, then later extended it to a half of a second. He keeps improving as he continues to fight Goku. In their rematch, Hit reveals that he can store all the time he skipped in a pocket dimension, allowing him phase out of local space-time, making him almost untouchable]].
* TimeStandsStill: Hit can [[spoiler:skip time very briefly that gives the illusion of stopping time]], allowing him to avoid attacks and counter them. For characters like Goku, they can only see him vanish, but once Goku figures this out, he's able to predict how Hit will attack. Hit improves the technique several times over the course of his fight with Goku. [[spoiler:As shown with his fight with Jiren, his final technique allows him to trap an opponent in a field of frozen time, though a sufficiently powerful foe can force their way through it]].
* TookALevelInBadass:
** In the anime, in just a few minutes of fighting Goku, Hit [[spoiler:increases his Time-Skip ability from 0.1 to 0.5, utterly demolishing Super Saiyan Blue Goku]]. He does it ''again'' when he manages to [[spoiler:Time-Skip Goku when he's using his Super Saiyan Blue/Kaio-ken combo that originally overwhelmed him]]. During the time after the tournament, Hit learns how to create a [[spoiler:pocket dimension where he stores all the time he uses from his Time-Skip, giving him a phase ability]].
** In the manga, he doesn't level up in literal minutes like his anime counterpart, but Goku does note that he got stronger between the Champa arc and the Tournament of Power. Enough to make Goku quite nervous and push a suppressed Jiren back (without actually damaging him though), who previously was not budged by CSSB Goku's blows. Additionally, he seems to be able to use his full power at will in the tournament, while doing so in the Champa arc required him to go through a lengthy charge sequence and explicitly could only last a minute before he gassed out.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: PlayedWith. Hit assumed that Jiren was a dangerous foe that he needed to get rid of when the time came, but when the two came to blows, Hit made the deadly mistake of assuming he could hold Jiren for several minutes in his DesperationAttack. He's instantly proven wrong, and is soon eliminated for his troubles.
* WeakButSkilled: In a world of sledgehammers, Hit's a scalpel. While he is lacking in the power department compared to some of the heavy hitters, his skill with his Time-Skip and PressurePoint attacks means that it doesn't matter.
** When it comes to his fight against Vegeta and Goku as Super Saiyan Blue, his mastery of Time-Skip and precise damage on their vital parts allows him to easily overwhelm Vegeta and give Goku a very hard time. This is especially exemplified when he is able to hold his own against a [[spoiler:Kaio-ken-empowered Goku]] with his [[spoiler:improved Time-Skip]] despite being far weaker than the latter and even then, it turns out that he is holding back due to withholding his killing techniques and could possibly even win if he were allowed to use it.
** His second fight with Goku proves the above is not idle guesswork: Hit becomes the ''first person to kill Goku'' in a straight-up fight, even if it didn't stick.
** [[spoiler:It also makes him capable of holding his own against Jiren as well, though in the end it didn't save him from being eliminated.]]
* WeaksauceWeakness: Downplayed, but it's stated that all of Hit's time-manipulation abilities can be countered by... simply being stronger than him. It means that it would make him the opposite of Guldo, where Guldo's time manipulation worked regardless of how strong his opponents are, Hit ''has'' to be at above the level of his opponent or close to it for him to be effective, as even his pocket dimension can be countered by powering through it.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: His decision to allow himself to be humiliatingly defeated in one punch by Universe 7's supposed "ace-in-the-hole" Monaka is the ultimate test of character for Hit that proves he truly is an honorable warrior, as Goku had correctly judged him to be during their preceding fight.
* WhenHeSmiles: Meta example - the first smirk Hit made was during his defiance of Champa, allowing Goku to power up, and revealing that BeneathTheMask he is a NotSoStoic SpiritedCompetitor and ChallengeSeeker. To say these traits endeared him in the eyes of the Dragonball fandom is an understatement.
* WillfullyWeak: His performance against Goku and Vegeta in the ''Universe 6 Tournament'' arc, for all his power and how difficult he was for Goku to fight, Hit was not able to fight at full power because his strength is being able to kill his targets, not fight them. Thus, he has to hold back enough to not kill Goku or Vegeta, something that is a bit tricky for him to do. When he later fights Goku without this restraint, we see how truly deadly he is.
* WorthyOpponent: Hit comes to see Goku as this after he successfully counters his [[spoiler:Time-Skip ability]] and forces him to improve for the first time in his life. Goku feels the same and reveals a technique he has been creating to use against Beerus, his [[spoiler:Super Saiyan Blue/Kaio-ken combination]]. If one pays attention, they'll even notice that the combat stance he chose to adopt for [[spoiler:his final Time-Skip upgrade]] is a mirror of Goku's own. He respects Goku so much [[spoiler:that when he's hired by a mysterious client to kill him, he actually offers Goku a chance to live if he goes into hiding, in contrast to his last target who was willing to offer any sort of reward in return for life with Hit coldly brushing him off before committing the deed. And when said client turns out to be GOKU HIMSELF VIA PROXY (because he really wanted to fight Hit at his best), Hit asks if there's a timetable on the assignment and states that he will take his time killing Goku, clearly indicating that he too enjoys their fights]].
* WorldsBestWarrior: He is by far the best fighter of Universe 6. His skills are so sharp that he had no one challenged him until he met Goku during the Champa Saga. During his rematch with Goku, it's easy to see why. He can kill an opponent instantly with one well-placed invisible energy shock to the heart.
* WorldsStrongestMan: He is said to be the strongest [[spoiler:unfused]] mortal fighter from Universe 6, hand chosen by Champa to win him the entire tournament, and he more than lives up to his hype. His [[spoiler:Time-Skip]] technique allows him to move faster than even a Super Saiyan Blue, and he's fast enough normally to be close to that level. Furthermore, he can adapt at an incredible rate, improving his [[spoiler:[[TimeMaster Time-Skip]]]] numerous times as Goku adapts and develop counter-strategies. Because of this, he's able to easily one-shot Frost, handily beat Vegeta at full strength, and fight Goku to a standstill despite Goku having prior knowledge of Hit's abilities and fighting style from seeing Vegeta's fight and in the anime using the [[spoiler:Kaio-ken to make himself ten times stronger and faster as a Super Saiyan Blue. Goku notes that, if not for the tournament rules forbidding killing blows, Hit would have likely killed him with his last attack]]. Even more impressive given that Vegeta and Goku in Super Saiyan Blue likely surpass him in raw power, [[WeakButSkilled yet Hit's skill and application of power gives him just that much of an edge]].

->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Creator/YukaKomatsu
->'''Voiced by (English):''' Creator/ElizabethMaxwell
->'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Andrea Orozco
-->''"Of course, I'm scared...of my infinite potential! Seeing Jiren and Son Goku fight made me certain. I'm a Saiyan too. I'm sure I can still get much, much stronger."''
A Saiyan woman from Planet Sadala, and the younger sister of Renso. She is a delinquent, but also a fighting genius. She joins the Universe 6 team for the Tournament of Power. Considered a key player in the Tournament of Power for Universe 6.
----
* TheAce: While she is not a member of Sadala's army unlike Cabba, in the manga she proves her worth as being TheDreaded, a prodigy that even the members of the Sadala army fear to mess with. During her fight with Frieza, Frieza states that she as a Super Saiyan is ''miles'' stronger than Goku was the first time he transformed, putting her on a whole different league. She, however, is still weaker than Golden Frieza, and ''vastly weaker'' than Kale.
* ActionGirl: One of the 14 female fighters for the Tournament of Power for Universe 6, Caulifla is a Saiyan girl with immense potential, so much she got the way to transform into Super Saiyan very easy. She, Kale, and Ribrianne are also the most promoted characters in promotional material like ''Videogame/DragonBallHeroes'' outside of Jiren.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Her softer qualities like her confidence in Kale are all but absent in the manga at first, but her caring side towards Kale shows up once Kale loses control of her powers.
** In the anime she never even speaks to Magetta. In the manga, she insults him for [[KickTheDog no reasons]], almost making him forfeit the tournament.
* AdaptationalWimp: Suffers this in the manga. In the anime, she was clearly made out to be stronger than Cabba in terms of raw power, and as a Super Saiyan 2 is roughly on par with a controlled Berserk Kale. In the manga, Cabba easily trounces her once he goes Super Saiyan. Caulifla also doesn't master the Super Saiyan 2 as easily as she does in the anime, and later when she fights Frieza, Frieza toys with her in his final form, and Golden Form with ease. That said her base form is much stronger than Cabba's and she gains the Super Saiyan form off screen which she mentions was rather easy to achieve. While Caulifla in the anime managed a few people, she never eliminates a single person [[spoiler:except Gohan as Kefla]]. Said trope ends up being responsible for her elimination: [[spoiler:Kefla in the manga is significantly less powerful because Caulifla herself is much weaker]].
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** Her dynamic with Kale in the manga. In the anime, the two are the best of friends and clearly care for one another, their relationship being a student/teacher dynamic, with Kale having an [[AmbiguouslyGay implied crush]] on her. In the manga, while Caulifla still has a bit of respect for Kale, their relationship isn't as close as it is in the anime, with Caulifla treating her more like a subordinate while Kale sees her more as a sister. It can best be seen in how Kale was recruited into the tournament. In the anime, Caulifla made Kale's involvement a stipulation for her agreeing to fight, while in the manga she is somewhat surprised, even annoyed, that Cabba brought her along. Though once she sees how strong Kale is, she is visibly proud of her and she's greatly concerned for Kale's safety once told Kale could be destroyed by her own power.
** In the manga, her relationship with Goku is ''entirely'' omitted and they don't even interact much less fight each other during the tournament.
* AmbiguouslyBi: In a rarity for Dragon Ball, there are a few hints that Caulifla is attracted to men and women in the anime. She has a [[PseudoRomanticFriendship very deep emotional connection]] to Kale who she is both physically and verbally protective of. And at the same time, she brushes off [[ClingyJealousGirl Kale's]] jealousy of Cabba, not by claiming she isn't into guys, but by stating Cabba specifically isn't the type of guy she'd be into.
* AnimeHair: An even more exaggerated spiky hairstyle than most of the Saiyan characters. If most Saiyans have pineapple hair, she has [[Videogame/ChronoTrigger Lavos]] hair.
* AntiVillain: Unlike her law-serving older brother Renso, Cabba, or a good portion of her race, she's a crass, troublemaking tomboy who runs an underground group of Saiyan delinquents. [[LovableRogue That said]], she's surprisingly tamed in her fighting style and behavior towards allies. Compared to the other fighters, some comprising of {{sadist}}s and [[TheTrickster tricksters]], Caulifla prefers the [[SpiritedCompetitor straight thrill of battle]] without the need for underhanded moves.
* BadassAdorable: She may be the leader of a gang of delinquents, but she can look absolutely adorable when she's happy or excited. She's also extremely powerful.
* BenevolentBoss: Kale, specifically, is one underling she cares deeply about in terms of her well-being, due to being her personal student. The rest of her gang, to a lesser extent, aren't blatantly mistreated by her, and they respect her back without a second thought.
* BerserkButton: Don't ever harm Kale right in front of her or she will go ballistic. Universe 10 learned this the hard way. Cabba was lucky as he only got yelled at for making Kale cry.
* BigEater: Her first scene introduces her biting down on a hunk of meat. Once Cabba meets with her, she is still eating it.
* BreastExpansion: Her Ultra Saiyan form includes a few cup sizes with all that muscle, and the camera [[MsFanservice even focuses on her chest]] when it happens just in case we didn't get the hint.
* CallingYourAttacks: ''Crush Cannon!''
* CombatPragmatist: Caulifla is a street fighter, not a refined martial artist. Thus, she has no problems fighting dirty. During her rematch with Goku, she fakes him out by pretending to fire a Ki blast only to punch Goku in the gut while he's distracted.
* CurbStompBattle:
** The first "fight" between Goku and Hit where Hit isn't holding back his killing techniques ends with [[spoiler:Goku killed with a single blow to the chest after about a minute of hitting empty air]].
* CurbStompCushion: Truth be told, Hit had no chance of beating Jiren, as his strength far exceeds Hit's own, but Hit is able to use his abilities in such a way he's able to push Jiren to the edge and causes the other man to exert himself for the first time in the series, which ultimately results in his elimination.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Hit may be a cold-hearted assassin who wears dark clothing, but he has a strong sense of honor and only seems to kill when he contracted to.
* DecapitatedArmy: In a matter of speaking. [[spoiler:Once Hit gets eliminated, things quickly take a turn for the worse for Universe 6, and Cabba, Kale and Caulifla soon join him on the bench.]]
* DesperationAttack: Hit's "Time Cage" attack is good for keeping opponents still, but it requires a large amount of energy to keep the target still, and cannot attack in any way other than with the technique holding the target in the first place and even then it risks failing, which Hit himself notes is a very un-assassin thing to do.
* DieOrFly: Hit is more than capable of averting TransformationIsAFreeAction, but he doesn't because his opponent's newfound power will place him in a situation where he ''needs'' to better himself in order to win - and that seems to be the only thing truly capable of pushing him to do it.
* DidntSeeThatComing:
** Hit is shocked that Goku literally broke his [[spoiler:PocketDimension that he was using to avoid Goku's attacks]]. This left him wide open for Goku's Kamehameha.
** [[spoiler:He was clearly not expecting Jiren to be able to move while he had him stuck in a Time Cage. Jiren managing to flat out crush his final attack despite being semi-immobilized is the last straw before Jiren knocks him off the arena.]]
* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: When he's contracted to kill [[spoiler:Goku]], he mentions that he doesn't really want to, and that if [[spoiler:Goku]] takes him up on his offer to disappear off the grid, he would fake his death for him. [[spoiler:Goku doesn't take the offer and temporarily ends up dead.]]
* TheDreaded: He's known as a legendary powerful hitman in his universe. Frost is completely terrified when Hit catches him trying to steal the reward treasures and the cube spaceship. Even Goku and Vegeta note that he is likely the most powerful member of his team and thus try to save their Super Saiyan Blue power for him. Champa confirms that he's a legendary assassin who he personally hand chose, and is confident he can defeat both Vegeta and Goku. [[spoiler:His reputation is enough to where he is one of ''two'' people Jiren acknowledges as being worthy of fighting him. As soon as he eliminates Hit, he declares nobody else can match him.]]
* DueToTheDead: Hit seems to have a code of paying respects at the graves of people he's killed. He takes a necklace from the crime boss he murders at the start of episode, and places it at what is seemingly that guy's gravestone, and when he [[spoiler:kills Goku]] later in the episode he states that he'll return when they've dug his grave. It's not clarified why he would do this.
* DullSurprise: While everyone is shocked when they see Vegeta go Super Saiyan Blue on Cabba, Hit takes note of it, looks at Goku, and then closes his eyes again.
* ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy: Zigzagged. He won't tell anyone about his abilities and he kills his target seconds after engaging them, however, when fighting against Goku he does confirm Goku's observations about how his powers work and will even correct him if he's off.
* {{Expy}}:
** Ends up having more than a few similarities to ''Z'' filler character Pikkon: An alien stronger than previous villains who met Goku in a tournament, was at first cold and standoffish, but eventually became a friendly rival. As an added bonus, Goku even used Super Saiyan Kaio-ken in his fight with Pikkon and used Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken against Hit.
** More obviously, Hit's outfit, mannerisms, and [[spoiler:ability to briefly freeze time]] are all blatant references to [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Jotaro Kujo]]. It might even count as an ActorAllusion on the dub end given that Creator/MatthewMercer voices both of them.
* FinalBoss: He is the final and most powerful fighter on Champa's team. Champa is so confident in Hit's ability that he fully expects him to win him the entire tournament, even after seeing Vegeta's Super Saiyan Blue form.
* {{Foil}}:
** Like Goku, Hit enjoys a good fight and likes to keep things fair and square during a duel; he doesn't attack Goku when he has the chance to end the match and would prefer to take on Goku's new technique head-on rather than prevent him from going through with it. Just like Goku, he also studies his opponent carefully and develops new ways to overtake his foes while in the middle of a battle, taking note of Goku doing the same to him. His stance even becomes very similar to Goku's after improving enough. In the Tournament of Power, they are both referred to as {{The Ace}}s of their respective universes. However unlike Goku, Hit isn't a hero given his day job is an assassin. He's also very [[TheStoic stoic]] to contrast the excitable Goku's.
** To Piccolo. Both are TheStoic [[TheStrategist strategists]] on their respective teams who make up for a lack of transformations and raw power with unorthodox techniques that allow them to get the upper-hand. Both encountered Goku in a tournament and ended up becoming a WorthyOpponent to him, as well as teaming up in an unlikely alliance to take on a greater threat. The foil is while both were enemies to Goku, Piccolo was a villain who later becomes somewhat of an AntiHero of the GoodIsNotNice variety, while Hit despite never being fully villainous isn't a hero either and remains an assassin albeit a nice one with a CodeOfHonor.
** Also one to Tien. Both are [[TheRival rivals]] to Goku, who encounter him in a Tournament and best him in a very close match, before coming to see him as a WorthyOpponent and giving him a PetTheDog moment. Both Hit and Tien rely on unorthodox techniques in their combat to make up for the gap in strength they have to Goku, though unlike Tien, Hit is the genuine WorldsBestWarrior of his universe. Furthermore, Tien initially had desires to become an assassin, while Hit is an actual assassin. The contrast, much like Piccolo, is that Tien started off as a villain who pulled a HeelFaceTurn while Hit was never straight up evil but doesn't exactly join the good guys either and stays a NobleDemon.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: In the intro segment that shows off the Universe 6 fighters, he's the only one that looks at the screen (viewers) while firing a laser beam from his finger, almost as if he's firing it towards the viewer.
* FriendlyRivalry: Near the end of episode 72, Hit and Goku show signs of this [[spoiler:although, even though Goku had Whis then Vados hire Hit by proxy just so he could fight him, Hit still states he will kill him and to be careful.]]
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: During the Tournament of Power, Hit's enthusiastic wide-open smile [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DN5Xm92VQAA6A_B.jpg can be seen]] on the far-right side of the cheering Universe 6 stands in a quick reaction shot. [[spoiler:This was prompted from seeing the Saiyan fusion, Kefla, sucker-punching Super Saiyan God Goku's face by surprise.]]
* GrayAndGreyMorality: Make no mistake, he's better than the war profiteering Frost, but by no means is Hit actually a hero, he's strictly a HitmanWithAHeart. The best example of this would be during his rematch with Goku, who after offering to fake his death, ''does'' actually kill him, however briefly. This was even after the two had mutual respect. And further pushing this point, Hit makes it clear that despite their friendliness, if Goku ever has another target put on his head, Hit will treat him like a mark once again.
* GoodCounterpart:
** In a clever bit of misdirection, it seems that ''he's'' the real good or at least neutral counterpart to Frieza. Both are natural prodigies feared in their universe as the mightiest force of death. Both immediately {{curb stomp|Battle}} Vegeta, then face Goku in an encounter which represents both the introduction of a never-before-seen form of power for Goku, as well as the first time they've ever had to improve their skills. Both possess creative (for their time) abilities taking them beyond the typical ''DBZ'' BeamOWar fighting style, {{purple|IsPowerful}} as a color motif, and inhuman lifespan and aging patterns (Frieza entered his prime within the first eight years of his life and has retained it for decades, while Hit is over a thousand years old). However, Hit is a mercenary who does all his work himself, carries a professional attitude about his work, and only kills when the parameters of the job call for it, whereas Frieza is a real-estate tycoon who employs a galactic army and takes sadistic glee in the death and fear he causes. Hit outright states he cannot transform to improve his power, while Frieza has to transform in order to restrain it. Hit is standoffish, stoic, and is seen in {{dark|IsNotEvil}} colors, yet when presented with a challenge that forces him to improve he relishes the opportunity like a true SpiritedCompetitor, whereas Frieza plays himself off as [[WickedCultured cultured]] and [[FauxAffablyEvil polite]], and is seen in {{light|IsNotGood}} colors, when the whole time his greatest fear is being rivaled or surpassed and when it finally happens he slowly but surely loses any and all grip on sanity he ever had.
** Stepping outside manga-canonical materials and comparing Hit to a closer lookalike, he can also be seen as one to Frieza's older brother Cooler, almost to the extent that Cooler can be seen as the bridge in between the two. Like both Hit and Frieza, Cooler is a seemingly ageless natural prodigy and feared scourge of death with purple as a color motif. Like Hit, Cooler is far more measured and professional in his approach in contrast to Frieza's egocentric pretentiousness and sadism. However, Cooler still shares Frieza's traits of being an imperial tycoon with a team of subordinates, a LightIsNotGood motif and a raging hatred of superior opponents. Hit is a mercenary loner who goes by DarkIsNotEvil and welcomes a true challenge as a chance to test and better himself.
** He could also be considered one to Mercenary Tao. Both being well known and feared assassins, but whereas Tao is a PsychoForHire who not only takes personal glee in his kills but will kill people he doesn't even need to kill simply because they're in his way or they slighted him in some way (Bora, The Tailor), Hit is very professional in his kills, treating them as nothing more than a job and only ever kills who he's hired to kill, bypassing everyone else. Hit also has a code of honor when it comes to fighting and welcomes a good challenge while Tao is a DirtyCoward who resorts to underhanded tactics the moment the fight stops going his way.
* GracefulLoser: He takes his loss to Goku during their rematch in stride, vowing to kill Goku again someday before leaving.
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Averted massively, as per his own admittance. He can't transform to multiply his power, so he has to use good old-fashioned hard work to get stronger.
* HeroKiller: Even if his death was temporary, he manages to take out [[spoiler:''Goku''.]]
* HitmanWithAHeart: Downplayed. He may be a cold, unhesitating killer, but he's also a NobleDemon with a code of honour who goes out of his way to avoid collateral damage.
* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum: He's unable to use his best techniques in both the Universe 6 tournament and the Tournament of Power because they're specifically ''assassination'' techniques, and killing your opponent isn't allowed. This is one reason [[spoiler:Goku ordered a hit on himself: he wanted to fight Hit at his best, with no holds barred]].
* HonorBeforeReason:
** Hit could have beaten Goku at several points during the fight, but deliberately allows Goku to recover or fights fairly out of respect despite Champa's insistence that he finish the fight immediately. [[spoiler:He even decides to throw the final fight against Monaka as a sign of respect for Goku even though he knew the outcome of said action would be Champa murdering him]].
** In Episode 71, [[spoiler:he offers to let Goku live while telling whoever contracted him that he had killed him out of respect for him. Goku himself then pulls this trope by refusing and wanting to try fighting Hit as an equal. Once Goku does so, however, [[SubvertedTrope he doesn't hesitate to go through with the kill]].]]
* HopelessBossFight: Regardless of whether Hit was one of the best fighters in the Tournament of Powers, he was still caught up in one of this during his fight with [[spoiler:Jiren]], specially when his last attack against him didn't work.
* HotBlooded: He hides it heavily under his stoic demeanor, but ultimately Hit is excited to meet someone like Goku who can fight him all-out on equal terms.
* IAmNotLeftHanded:
** After improving his [[spoiler:Time-Skip technique the first time, Hit tells Goku the new duration. He then notes that Goku will likely adapt in the same way he did the first time and uses the technique to hit Goku with RapidFireFisticuffs, revealing that he actually increased the duration more than double what he told Goku]].
** Goku takes notice near the end of their fight in Episode 40 [[spoiler:that, due to the tournament's no-kill rule, Hit has actually been holding back during the entire match and hasn't been fighting all out in case he accidentally killed someone. Goku notes that, if he had been able to kill, Hit could have beaten him with his last attack]].
** Goku trains to adapt to Hit's [[spoiler:Time-Skip]], only to be caught off-guard when Hit uses an IntangibleMan technique when next they meet.
** During his fight with [[spoiler:Jiren]], once he realizes his Time-Skip ability won't do him much good, Hit pulls all stops and [[spoiler:traps Jiren in a "cage of time", where he supposedly is left paralyzed in place]]. He then [[spoiler:tries to unleash one final attack when it seems that even ''that'' won't be enough to deal with Jiren]], but [[spoiler:this still isn't enough to deal with him, and he winds up being eliminated.]]
* InformedAbility: His killing techniques in the manga. While Hit showcases them in the anime in his rematch against Goku and in the Tournament of Power, he never once uses them in the manga despite them being implied that Hit could use them like in the anime.
* IntangibleMan: When he shows up to kill Goku, he reveals a technique that makes physical attacks pass right through him. [[spoiler:Vados reveals that what Hit is really doing is using the "time" he's "skipped" with his Time-Skip technique to create a pocket universe, which partially phases him out of local time-space. The downside is that he's limited in his attacking options while doing this, and he can't keep it up forever. Once Goku figures out that Hit is "not there", he's able to break down the pocket universe and attack Hit anyway.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: PlayedWith. While Hit [[AntiHero is not a villain]], he is a major antagonistic force in two of 'Super' arcs. He lacks any comical trait, and in fact, when the show focuses on him, there is a ToneShift from a lighthearted show to a noir-ish mood, very typical of cyberpunk stories.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: After seeing Jiren [[spoiler:neutralize Kale with one attack]], he wisely retreats and allows Goku to handle the problem.
* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: While there have been a fair share of enemies and allies with ConfusionFu that keeps the enemy on their toes, Hit's abilities are so distinct from what is usually encountered that he's pretty much a PuzzleBoss where it requires both strength and brains to understand both how Hit's powers work and be strong enough to counter them every time he fights his enemies.
* TheLeader: The unofficial one of Universe 6 during the Tournament of Power by virtue of being their WorldsStrongestMan. The Supreme Kai of Universe 11 notes he's both their ace and emotional support and concludes that losing him would quickly result in Universe 6 falling shortly afterwards. [[spoiler:He was sadly proven right.]]
* MeaningfulName:
** He's a rather serious warrior and martial artist, named Hit. He's also a legendary hitman, making this a pun on his job.
** When his name was first translated into Roman characters, it was mistranslated to "Heat", making it seem like he had a connection with Frost. Needless to say, both notions were quickly corrected.
* MundaneUtility: The real purpose behind his powerful [[spoiler:Time-Skip]] ability is to avoid being detected by anyone except his target.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Hit. His character notes even suggest the name (which is a pun on "hitman") is supposed to imply a sense of danger.
* NobleDemon: Despite being a ProfessionalKiller, he's actually quite noble and chivalrous all things considered. Hit allows Goku to recover from his heavy blow because Goku's strength and technique forced him to improve his own abilities, and he feels he owes the other fighter for that. He also avoids sniping Goku while he's preparing his ultimate technique. He also [[spoiler:rings himself out when Monaka successfully punched him to return Goku's favor when he did the same]]. In Episode 71, [[spoiler:he offers to let Goku live and walk away if he disappears. Goku refuses and temporarily dies because of it]]. Of the hits we've seen him do, he also avoids killing anyone ''but'' his target, using his [[spoiler:Time-Skip]] to just bypass guards and civilians. He also lets his targets know they're about to die, kills them from the front, and does so quickly with a minimum of pain.
* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: Make no mistake, Hit ''will'' kill you if he's paid to do it, regardless of whether you prove a challenge or not, as he's a ''{{Professional|Killer}}'' [[ProfessionalKiller Killer]]. That said, if you do prove a challenge he'll enjoy the chance to improve his skills while trying to kill you.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Hit will not toy around with his targets, preferring to end his battles or kill his targets as efficiently as possible. At least, until he finds a worthy opponent. This is shown perfectly in episode 71 when we see him in the middle of a hit job on a local crime boss. He uses Time-Skip to bypass all the bosses' security guards and reach his target, calmly tells said target that he's hired to kill him, then promptly punches a hole through said target's chest, killing him instantly. [[spoiler:And when he fights Goku again, he lets Goku hit him a few times to showcase his intangibly powers, then promptly punches him through the heart, killing him instantly.]]
* NothingPersonal: Hit is a professional. There is no malice in what he does, only pragmatism and dignity. Heck, the only reason he comes after Frost was because the emperor was putting a wrench in his own arrangement with Vados. [[spoiler:He makes this more clear than ever when he's hired to kill Goku. He'll do the job, make no mistake, but he not for a moment allows this to dampen his open fondness for the other.]]
* NotSoAboveItAll: During the match, once Goku starts getting the upper-hand, he starts screaming and clutching his arms presumably to power up, only to reveal that he can't power up like the Saiyans and simply improved the duration of his Time-Skip. He was only screaming like that to imitate Goku. It seems Goku's eccentric ways have rubbed off on him.
* NotSoSimilar: To Frieza of all people when he announces to Goku and the audience that because he was so powerful, he never had to improve himself once in his life. Unlike Frieza, however, he improves on-the-fly, and is grateful to Goku for pushing him to get better.
* NotSoStoic:
** He was cold and emotionless for most of the tournament, including in his fight with Vegeta. He begins to shed his stoic demeanor after he finds a WorthyOpponent in Goku. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness He even genuinely smiles, something several characters note]].
** During the Tournament of Power, Hit remained his usual cold self for most of the tournament... ''until it took him to fight Jiren'', and started to scream out of frustration at how useless he was against the dreaded Gray of Universe 11.
---> '''Hit:''' [[BreakTheBadass The moment I couldn't stop him with one hit, it was all over.]]
* OhCrap:
** Has a minor one when Goku figures out his technique and manages to block his attacks and hit him. He has a major one after Goku [[spoiler:{{No Sell}}s his Time-Skip technique when using his Super Saiyan Blue/Kaioken combination. His most severe one is when he faces the prospect of his own death at the hands of Champa for losing the tournament.]]
** He suffers another one of these when [[spoiler:Jiren]] not only quickly adapts to his Time-Skip ability, but [[spoiler:manages to overcome his Cage of Time and move during it, despite being supposed to be ''frozen in time'', and manage to nullify and destroy his final attack, leaving him at his mercy.]]
* OneHitKill: He uses a single strike to perform assassination, shooting a beam from his fist which evidently crushes the victim's heart.
* TheOneThatGotAway: Vegeta never got to settle the score with Hit in the Tournament of Power as he had hoped. In the manga, this extends to Goku as well because the "Hit Rematch" mini-arc was anime only, and in the Tournament they decide to team up against Universe 11 much like in the anime.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He's only involved in the tournament to get Champa's cube as Vados offered him, and otherwise doesn't seem at all interested in the other matches at all. He only [[spoiler:does anything about Frost]] because he was trying to steal his prize. Later subverted when he faces off against Goku and considers him a WorthyOpponent. [[spoiler:This sentiment was enough for Hit to throw the tournament to ''Monaka''. He even tells Champa that he doesn't want the space cube anymore]].
* OutOfCharacterMoment: During the Champa Arc tournament, the normally {{Stoic}} Hit goes all ScreamingWarrior to power up like most characters. Subverted in that it was only for show, and he immediately points out he can't just transform to power up, but has to avert HardWorkHardlyWorks.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: More ''overpowered'' by awesome. Hit is practically unbeatable on paper, but Goku's talent for powering up just simply ''overrides'' every one of Hit's sequential advantages over him.
* PetTheDog: In their second fight, Hit offered [[spoiler:Goku]] the opportunity to fake his death if he just disappeared off the grid. [[spoiler:Goku]], however [[HonorBeforeReason is more focused]] on fighting Hit at full strength [[spoiler:and dies as a result. Hit also states he would visit Goku's grave once it was completed.]]
* PocketDimension: He has a phase ability that works by him [[spoiler:storing the time he skips in another dimension, which he can freely enter. Once he is in this dimension he can't be hit, but he's free to attack this opponent, although it's limited. He can't stay in it forever, however, since it's limited to the time he has stored and it can be shattered by a powerful energy burst]].
* PowerTrio: In ''Super Dragon Ball Heroes'' he forms one with Goku and Jiren as the three of them team up to fight Zamasu and later Hearts.
* PressurePoint: Hit uses his [[spoiler:Time-Skip technique]] to target the vital parts of his opponents, critically damaging them in the process. Hit is surprised that Vegeta is able to survive this (despite being KO'd) and he says that if Goku keeps on attacking him before finding out how to dodge his technique, Goku will die.
* ProfessionalKiller: He's a legendary hitman in his universe. When he confronts Frost about trying to steal the treasure and cube ship, Frost asks if Champa or someone from their universe hired him to kill him. According to Whis, Hit has never failed to kill a target, given him the nickname [[RedBaron "The Flawless Hit"]].
* PurpleIsPowerful: Has purple skin, and is considered the most powerful member of the team, proving to be far more powerful than Frost and Cabba. Even without his main ability, he's still extremely powerful.
* PuzzleBoss: What makes Hit so dangerous isn't his physical power, but his abilities. He has the ability to [[spoiler:[[TimeMaster skip time]]]] and attack his opponent when they're vulnerable. He also has [[spoiler:invisible energy attacks that can instantly stops someone's heart if they hit on top of being able to create a pocket dimension where he stores all the time he skipped, which allows him to phase through his enemy's attacks like a ghost]]. Every time Goku fights Hit, he spends most of the battle just trying to figure out and counter Hit's techniques.
* PunnyName: His name is Hit, as of "hitman", and he is well known for killing and defeating people with just one hit.
--> '''Champa:''' [[{{Pun}} Hit! Nice hit!]]
* Really700YearsOld: Hit is over 1,000 years old. He looks to be only in his mid-40s by mortal standards.
* RedBaron: He is given the nickname, "The Flawless Hit", since he never fails to kill a target.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has red eyes, and looks rather intimidating. Frost definitely fears him and [[TheDreaded for good reasons]] since he is the [[ProfessionalKiller best assassin in his universe]] who never fails to kill a target.
* SeniorSleepCycle: The manga humorously gives Hit this attribute, as he sleeps through most of the tournament matches. This seems to partly be a display of disinterest in the low-stakes battles, but considering that he's [[Really700YearsOld over 1,000 years old]], he might need the shuteye for his old bones.
* ShadowArchetype: Hit shares Goku's uncanny ability to adapt and evolve new techniques as a fight drags out. Initially, Hit is also completely disinterested in fighting for the sake of it, [[{{Foil}} in complete contrast]] to Goku, but the longer the two fight, [[WorthyOpponent the more Hit starts to enjoy it.]]
* SignatureMove: His Time-Skip technique, which in itself is abroad label for a variety of Hit's techniques.
* SingleStrokeBattle: How the result of Goku and Hit's rematch in episode 71 ends, [[spoiler:not only is Goku unable to even touch Hit thanks to the latter's IntangibleMan powers but Hit only needs to fire one of his signature killing fist attacks to crush Goku's heart and kill him.]]
* SmallRoleBigImpact: In the manga's version of the Tournament of Power. Hit gets taken out easily by Jiren in the first few minutes of the tournament, but in that brief time he manages to save CSSB Goku from getting knocked off after his initial CurbStompBattle with the Gray. If Hit hadn't intervened, Jiren would have easily eliminated Goku, and would have torn through the rest of the competition with basically zero resistance without Ultra Instinct to challenge him. He would have undoubtedly been the victor which, depending on how truthful he was about his wish, would have led to the seven universes Zeno destroyed never being brought back.
* SpiritedCompetitor: What Hit is BeneathTheMask, to the surprise of everyone in-universe. The reason for his stoic behavior [[VictoryIsBoring is because no one in his Universe was ever able to push Hit to his limits]]... and then he met Goku.
--> '''Hit:''' Your greatness has fueled my own Goku! As you rise even higher, then by necessity so will I! I want to see where this competition goes, for my own sake! ''([[WhenHeSmiles smirks]])'' ''Let's take this to its peak.''
* TheStoic: Rarely, if ever drops his calm, serious demeanor no matter what is going on around him. Even having a cracked glass shard fly directly at him made from Vados' barrier doesn't do so much as make him open his eyes. [[spoiler:Once Goku gives him a good fight, he starts getting serious, and he is shown to break his stoic view, either by reacting in a surprised and/or angry manner or even smiling]].
* ShoutOut: His stoic attitude, coated purple appearance and time-stopping power pay tribute to Jotaro Kujo.
* StockShonenRival: To a lesser degree than Vegeta and Piccolo, but Hit still checks most of the criteria. He is Goku's primary rival who notably does not join Goku's team. Hit contrasts Goku by being stoic, serious, and calculating (not unlike Piccolo), but nonetheless treats Goku as a WorthyOpponent who he respects for his strength and his drive. Goku extends the same courtesy to Hit and is eager for further battles with him to better himself.
* StoryBreakerPower:
** While Hit is strong in his own right, his true power lies in his special technique. He is able to [[spoiler:[[TimeStandsStill Skip Time]] for a fraction of a second]]. Since Hit has SuperSpeed, even this brief period is enough for him to cause major damage that his opponents have almost no hope of defending against. There is also no limit to the amount of times he can use this technique and only has a very brief cooldown between uses. When Goku learns to counter it, Hit [[spoiler:learns to improve the technique each time, going from .2, to .5, and beyond]].
** When Goku has his rematch with Hit, [[spoiler:he shows off his improved abilities, like having invisible energy attacks that can instantly stop someone's heart if they land. He also can create a pocket dimension where he stores all the time he skipped, allowing him to phase through attacks like a ghost]]. Goku only manages to overcome Hit thanks to being a [[GeniusBruiser combat genius]] who quickly learns how to counter Hit's techniques.
* SuperpowerLottery: While Hit is a powerful fighter in his own right, his true strength lies in his ability to [[spoiler:skip time for a fraction of a second, allowing him to bypass attacks and damage an enemy's vitals before they can react. And if he's facing a particularly strong opponent like Goku, he can improve the duration of his Time-Skip. His rematch with Goku also shows he can store all the time he skipped in a pocket dimension which phases him out of local space-time and makes him virtually untouchable. Aside from that, Hit can fire invisible ki blasts that can instantly stop a target's heart and can phase through objects to hit opponents. Both of Goku's fights with Hit have him spending the majority of the fight trying to figure out how to counter Hit's techniques]]
* SuperSpeed: While it's not particularly focused on, Hit moves ''incredibly fast'' even for the characters of DB, as he's able to land several solid blows on his opponent in fractions of a second, and is shown to move considerably fast when he needs to. This makes his time-skip, which only lasts a fraction of a second prior to his improvement, deadly. While a fraction of a second may seem instantaneous to an ordinary human, a fraction can be much longer for someone who can move and perceive things much, much faster.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Downplayed, but a stoic enemy met in a tournament who pushes Goku to his limits and forces him to use Kaio-ken on top of Super Saiyan to get a win that turns from an ArrogantKungFuGuy to a FriendlyRival very similarly resembles Pikkon, who himself is a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute to Piccolo. But that said, Pikkon and Hit have many differences in ability and personality, the former being a HotBlooded ArrogantKungFuGuy with ElementalPowers and Hit being TheStoic with TimeStandsStill powers.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck:
** Hit knew what was waiting for him the moment he [[spoiler:purposefully lost the tournament to Universe 7 as a result of his new-found respect for Goku: Champa's wrath.]]
** [[spoiler:As soon as Jiren '''breaks''' his final attack against him, Hit flat out admits he knew he wasn't going to stop him, and was eliminated for his trouble]].
* TimeMaster: He can [[spoiler:skip time for a fraction of a second to dodge opponents and damage them]]. He decimated Vegeta with this technique, but Goku is able to figure out how it works and anticipated his attacks ahead of time, blocking before Hit's attacks could reach their target. After a while with fighting Goku, [[spoiler:Hit is able to extend this to 0.2 of a second, then later extended it to a half of a second. He keeps improving as he continues to fight Goku. In their rematch, Hit reveals that he can store all the time he skipped in a pocket dimension, allowing him phase out of local space-time, making him almost untouchable]].
* TimeStandsStill: Hit can [[spoiler:skip time very briefly that gives the illusion of stopping time]], allowing him to avoid attacks and counter them. For characters like Goku, they can only see him vanish, but once Goku figures this out, he's able to predict how Hit will attack. Hit improves the technique several times over the course of his fight with Goku. [[spoiler:As shown with his fight with Jiren, his final technique allows him to trap an opponent in a field of frozen time, though a sufficiently powerful foe can force their way through it]].
* TookALevelInBadass:
** In the anime, in just a few minutes of fighting Goku, Hit [[spoiler:increases his Time-Skip ability from 0.1 to 0.5, utterly demolishing Super Saiyan Blue Goku]]. He does it ''again'' when he manages to [[spoiler:Time-Skip Goku when he's using his Super Saiyan Blue/Kaio-ken combo that originally overwhelmed him]]. During the time after the tournament, Hit learns how to create a [[spoiler:pocket dimension where he stores all the time he uses from his Time-Skip, giving him a phase ability]].
** In the manga, he doesn't level up in literal minutes like his anime counterpart, but Goku does note that he got stronger between the Champa arc and the Tournament of Power. Enough to make Goku quite nervous and push a suppressed Jiren back (without actually damaging him though), who previously was not budged by CSSB Goku's blows. Additionally, he seems to be able to use his full power at will in the tournament, while doing so in the Champa arc required him to go through a lengthy charge sequence and explicitly could only last a minute before he gassed out.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: PlayedWith. Hit assumed that Jiren was a dangerous foe that he needed to get rid of when the time came, but when the two came to blows, Hit made the deadly mistake of assuming he could hold Jiren for several minutes in his DesperationAttack. He's instantly proven wrong, and is soon eliminated for his troubles.
* WeakButSkilled: In a world of sledgehammers, Hit's a scalpel. While he is lacking in the power department compared to some of the heavy hitters, his skill with his Time-Skip and PressurePoint attacks means that it doesn't matter.
** When it comes to his fight against Vegeta and Goku as Super Saiyan Blue, his mastery of Time-Skip and precise damage on their vital parts allows him to easily overwhelm Vegeta and give Goku a very hard time. This is especially exemplified when he is able to hold his own against a [[spoiler:Kaio-ken-empowered Goku]] with his [[spoiler:improved Time-Skip]] despite being far weaker than the latter and even then, it turns out that he is holding back due to withholding his killing techniques and could possibly even win if he were allowed to use it.
** His second fight with Goku proves the above is not idle guesswork: Hit becomes the ''first person to kill Goku'' in a straight-up fight, even if it didn't stick.
** [[spoiler:It also makes him capable of holding his own against Jiren as well, though in the end it didn't save him from being eliminated.]]
* WeaksauceWeakness: Downplayed, but it's stated that all of Hit's time-manipulation abilities can be countered by... simply being stronger than him. It means that it would make him the opposite of Guldo, where Guldo's time manipulation worked regardless of how strong his opponents are, Hit ''has'' to be at above the level of his opponent or close to it for him to be effective, as even his pocket dimension can be countered by powering through it.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: His decision to allow himself to be humiliatingly defeated in one punch by Universe 7's supposed "ace-in-the-hole" Monaka is the ultimate test of character for Hit that proves he truly is an honorable warrior, as Goku had correctly judged him to be during their preceding fight.
* WhenHeSmiles: Meta example - the first smirk Hit made was during his defiance of Champa, allowing Goku to power up, and revealing that BeneathTheMask he is a NotSoStoic SpiritedCompetitor and ChallengeSeeker. To say these traits endeared him in the eyes of the Dragonball fandom is an understatement.
* WillfullyWeak: His performance against Goku and Vegeta in the ''Universe 6 Tournament'' arc, for all his power and how difficult he was for Goku to fight, Hit was not able to fight at full power because his strength is being able to kill his targets, not fight them. Thus, he has to hold back enough to not kill Goku or Vegeta, something that is a bit tricky for him to do. When he later fights Goku without this restraint, we see how truly deadly he is.
* WorthyOpponent: Hit comes to see Goku as this after he successfully counters his [[spoiler:Time-Skip ability]] and forces him to improve for the first time in his life. Goku feels the same and reveals a technique he has been creating to use against Beerus, his [[spoiler:Super Saiyan Blue/Kaio-ken combination]]. If one pays attention, they'll even notice that the combat stance he chose to adopt for [[spoiler:his final Time-Skip upgrade]] is a mirror of Goku's own. He respects Goku so much [[spoiler:that when he's hired by a mysterious client to kill him, he actually offers Goku a chance to live if he goes into hiding, in contrast to his last target who was willing to offer any sort of reward in return for life with Hit coldly brushing him off before committing the deed. And when said client turns out to be GOKU HIMSELF VIA PROXY (because he really wanted to fight Hit at his best), Hit asks if there's a timetable on the assignment and states that he will take his time killing Goku, clearly indicating that he too enjoys their fights]].
* WorldsBestWarrior: He is by far the best fighter of Universe 6. His skills are so sharp that he had no one challenged him until he met Goku during the Champa Saga. During his rematch with Goku, it's easy to see why. He can kill an opponent instantly with one well-placed invisible energy shock to the heart.
* WorldsStrongestMan: He is said to be the strongest [[spoiler:unfused]] mortal fighter from Universe 6, hand chosen by Champa to win him the entire tournament, and he more than lives up to his hype. His [[spoiler:Time-Skip]] technique allows him to move faster than even a Super Saiyan Blue, and he's fast enough normally to be close to that level. Furthermore, he can adapt at an incredible rate, improving his [[spoiler:[[TimeMaster Time-Skip]]]] numerous times as Goku adapts and develop counter-strategies. Because of this, he's able to easily one-shot Frost, handily beat Vegeta at full strength, and fight Goku to a standstill despite Goku having prior knowledge of Hit's abilities and fighting style from seeing Vegeta's fight and in the anime using the [[spoiler:Kaio-ken to make himself ten times stronger and faster as a Super Saiyan Blue. Goku notes that, if not for the tournament rules forbidding killing blows, Hit would have likely killed him with his last attack]]. Even more impressive given that Vegeta and Goku in Super Saiyan Blue likely surpass him in raw power, [[WeakButSkilled yet Hit's skill and application of power gives him just that much of an edge]].

->'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Andrea Orozco
-->''"Of course, I'm scared...of my infinite potential! Seeing Jiren and Son Goku fight made me certain. I'm a Saiyan too. I'm sure I can still get much, much stronger."''
A Saiyan woman from Planet Sadala, and the younger sister of Renso. She is a delinquent, but also a fighting genius. She joins the Universe 6 team for the Tournament of Power. Considered a key player in the Tournament of Power for Universe 6.
----
* TheAce: While she is not a member of Sadala's army unlike Cabba, in the manga she proves her worth as being TheDreaded, a prodigy that even the members of the Sadala army fear to mess with. During her fight with Frieza, Frieza states that she as a Super Saiyan is ''miles'' stronger than Goku was the first time he transformed, putting her on a whole different league. She, however, is still weaker than Golden Frieza, and ''vastly weaker'' than Kale.
* ActionGirl: One of the 14 female fighters for the Tournament of Power for Universe 6, Caulifla is a Saiyan girl with immense potential, so much she got the way to transform into Super Saiyan very easy. She, Kale, and Ribrianne are also the most promoted characters in promotional material like ''Videogame/DragonBallHeroes'' outside of Jiren.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Her softer qualities like her confidence in Kale are all but absent in the manga at first, but her caring side towards Kale shows up once Kale loses control of her powers.
** In the anime she never even speaks to Magetta. In the manga, she insults him for [[KickTheDog no reasons]], almost making him forfeit the tournament.
* AdaptationalWimp: Suffers this in the manga. In the anime, she was clearly made out to be stronger than Cabba in terms of raw power, and as a Super Saiyan 2 is roughly on par with a controlled Berserk Kale. In the manga, Cabba easily trounces her once he goes Super Saiyan. Caulifla also doesn't master the Super Saiyan 2 as easily as she does in the anime, and later when she fights Frieza, Frieza toys with her in his final form, and Golden Form with ease. That said her base form is much stronger than Cabba's and she gains the Super Saiyan form off screen which she mentions was rather easy to achieve. While Caulifla in the anime managed a few people, she never eliminates a single person [[spoiler:except Gohan as Kefla]]. Said trope ends up being responsible for her elimination: [[spoiler:Kefla in the manga is significantly less powerful because Caulifla herself is much weaker]].
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** Her dynamic with Kale in the manga. In the anime, the two are the best of friends and clearly care for one another, their relationship being a student/teacher dynamic, with Kale having an [[AmbiguouslyGay implied crush]] on her. In the manga, while Caulifla still has a bit of respect for Kale, their relationship isn't as close as it is in the anime, with Caulifla treating her more like a subordinate while Kale sees her more as a sister. It can best be seen in how Kale was recruited into the tournament. In the anime, Caulifla made Kale's involvement a stipulation for her agreeing to fight, while in the manga she is somewhat surprised, even annoyed, that Cabba brought her along. Though once she sees how strong Kale is, she is visibly proud of her and she's greatly concerned for Kale's safety once told Kale could be destroyed by her own power.
** In the manga, her relationship with Goku is ''entirely'' omitted and they don't even interact much less fight each other during the tournament.
* AmbiguouslyBi: In a rarity for Dragon Ball, there are a few hints that Caulifla is attracted to men and women in the anime. She has a [[PseudoRomanticFriendship very deep emotional connection]] to Kale who she is both physically and verbally protective of. And at the same time, she brushes off [[ClingyJealousGirl Kale's]] jealousy of Cabba, not by claiming she isn't into guys, but by stating Cabba specifically isn't the type of guy she'd be into.
* AnimeHair: An even more exaggerated spiky hairstyle than most of the Saiyan characters. If most Saiyans have pineapple hair, she has [[Videogame/ChronoTrigger Lavos]] hair.
* AntiVillain: Unlike her law-serving older brother Renso, Cabba, or a good portion of her race, she's a crass, troublemaking tomboy who runs an underground group of Saiyan delinquents. [[LovableRogue That said]], she's surprisingly tamed in her fighting style and behavior towards allies. Compared to the other fighters, some comprising of {{sadist}}s and [[TheTrickster tricksters]], Caulifla prefers the [[SpiritedCompetitor straight thrill of battle]] without the need for underhanded moves.
* BadassAdorable: She may be the leader of a gang of delinquents, but she can look absolutely adorable when she's happy or excited. She's also extremely powerful.
* BenevolentBoss: Kale, specifically, is one underling she cares deeply about in terms of her well-being, due to being her personal student. The rest of her gang, to a lesser extent, aren't blatantly mistreated by her, and they respect her back without a second thought.
* BerserkButton: Don't ever harm Kale right in front of her or she will go ballistic. Universe 10 learned this the hard way. Cabba was lucky as he only got yelled at for making Kale cry.
* BigEater: Her first scene introduces her biting down on a hunk of meat. Once Cabba meets with her, she is still eating it.
* BreastExpansion: Her Ultra Saiyan form includes a few cup sizes with all that muscle, and the camera [[MsFanservice even focuses on her chest]] when it happens just in case we didn't get the hint.
* CallingYourAttacks: ''Crush Cannon!''
* CombatPragmatist: Caulifla is a street fighter, not a refined martial artist. Thus, she has no problems fighting dirty. During her rematch with Goku, she fakes him out by pretending to fire a Ki blast only to punch Goku in the gut while he's distracted.
* CurbStompBattle:

Alongside other characters in ''Super'' like Goku Black and Jiren, Kale [[AdaptationPersonalityChange has a different personality between mediums]]. In the {{anime}}, she is a ShrinkingViolet who doesn't have any faith in her skills. In the {{manga}}, she's a stoic bodyguard who is purposely hiding her true strength to not shame Caulifla's pride.
Added DiffLines:
* AdaptationalBadass:
** At the arc's start, Anime Kale is shown as extremely weak both physically and mentally, cowering and crying before danger and being totally impotent (so much that [[KindheartedSimpleton Goku, of all people]], [[BrutalHonesty tells her to get lost while he's fighting Caulifla]]). Manga Kale, while still subservient to Caulifla, is shown to be more experienced around the same point, taking quick action to neutralize or reverse a situation, like crushing a soldier's gun to protect her unknowing boss. She is also powerful enough to outpace and pickpocket Super Saiyan Cabba, without his realization. In the tournament she easily knocks out Dercori from Universe 4 while in her base form, while in the anime, her base form was very weak and was in the receiving end of getting tortured by two Universe 10 fighters; Frieza outright says that she's stronger than Cabba or Caulifla even before she transforms in the manga, even though she's in base and they're Super Saiyans.
** Her Super Saiyan form is this in the manga. Upon accessing it the first time, she was able to ragdoll True Golden Frieza (though he claims to not have been taking her seriously) and was somewhat able to hold her own against Mastered Super Saiyan Blue Goku. This would actually put her on the same level as Top with God ki and Fused Zamasu, whereas in the anime she's only able to hold her own against an exhausted Super Saiyan God Goku (being able to deflect his attack, while Caulifla was forced to try and dodge). And then she starts to bulk up, showing that her Berserk transformation [[GatheringSteam gradually gets stronger the longer she fights]]. Then again, in the manga, her forms' instability are not an InformedAttribute like in the anime; she can barely use that power for more than a minute or so due to PowerIncontinence and quickly hits her peak and drops rapidly as her transformation destroys her own body. [[spoiler:Fusing into Kefla remedies this, as Vados says Kefla has Kale's great power and she doesn't have any such issues, though unlike in the anime, manga Kefla doesn't seem to be any stronger than Kale alone.]]
** In the anime, while everyone (even including Brianne and her group, who hadn't transformed at that point) except for one unfortunate Universe 10 fighter were able to dodge all of Kale's stray blasts (and later knocking Vuon out), in the manga, fighters get eliminated left and right by Kale in her Berserker Form, [[TheJuggernaut including Magetta]], the Universe 6 Namekians, and the remnants of Universes 4, 3 (yes, even FREAKING AGNILASA, who in the anime, was a ClimaxBoss before the final showdown between Universes 7 and 11), 2, and 10 (in that order). She managed to almost take out Vegeta and Top during their fight too, with Top only surviving because of Dyspo. Cabba did indeed bring a force to be reckoned with in the Tournament of Power, and that's not even before Kefla.
%% * AdaptationDeviation:
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Her dynamic with Caulifla in the manga. In the anime, the two are the best of friends and clearly care for one another, their relationship being a student/teacher dynamic with Kale having an [[AmbiguouslyGay implied crush]] on Caulifla. In the manga, while Caulifla still has a bit of respect for Kale, their relationship isn't as close as it is in the anime, with Caulifla treating her more like a subordinate while Kale sees Caulifla more as a sister figure rather than the implied crush in the anime. It can best be seen in how Kale was recruited into the tournament. In the anime, Caulifla made Kale's involvement a stipulation for her agreeing to fight, while in the manga she is somewhat surprised, even annoyed, that Cabba brought her along.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the anime, she is a shy and insecure young girl who feels she couldn't measure to the skills of her sister figure. In the manga, she is a stoic bodyguard to Caulifla who knows ''she is'' the stronger of the two, but doesn't tell Caulifla in order to not harm her pride.
* AlmightyJanitor: She's a subordinate of Caulifla. That said, as opposed to everyone thinking Caulifla's the strongest Saiyan woman of Universe 6, she may prove to be even stronger thanks to her berserk Super Saiyan form.
--> '''Cabba:''' I came here for one strong ally, but it seems I accidentally stumbled upon another.
* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: Kale doesn't seem to remember her Berserk form's chaos whenever she reawakens from her exhaustion. However, she manages to overcome this trait once she mastered her Super Saiyan transformations during the Tournament Of Power.
* AmazonianBeauty: Her [[https://tinyurl.com/ybtza4sr Super Saiyan 2]] and [[http://i.imgur.com/RDI7Hoo.jpg Berserker]] forms emphasize her large, muscular, yet feminine frame.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Described as a "dark-skinned beauty"[[note]]within the Episode 93 [[https://twitter.com/Herms98/status/870183023743909889 preview]] of Magazine/ShonenJump[[/note]], Kale is noticeably tanned compared to the likes of Caulifla and Cabba and other Saiyans. Like Broly and Paragus, brown skin gives a mysterious, foreign look. However, like Broly, her skin gains a slightly lighter shade of melanin when she transforms into her Berserker form.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Or rather "Ambigiously Lesbian". She gives off some strong lesbian vibes for Caulifla, like blushing when complemented by her, being jealous of Cabba's interactions with Caulifla, and when she goes into a berserker rage it's only when Caulifla says she isn't interested in Cabba and how wonderful Kale is that she calms down. It's less ambiguous in the dub, where Kale refers to Caulifla as her "one and only". This is also less ambiguous in Legends, Kale refers to Caulifla as a "knight in shining armor".
* AmbiguousSituation: Not particularly in regard to Kale herself, but rather her connection to Broly and if their respective berserker transformations are the same or not. Unique to Kale, she has a regular Super Saiyan form that makes her more muscular than normal that she can control in the anime, plus she manages to control her Berserk state, achieving a unique green Super Saiyan 2 form in the process. In contrast, Broly has a unique Wrath state representative of his great ape form. His basic Super Saiyan state is berserk too, unlike Kale in the anime, but matching her usage of the form in the manga. Though Kale's form shares Broly's background in Z as a Legendary Saiyan that appears once every 1000 years in the manga, neither Kale nor the backstory is mentioned or tied to Broly in Dragon Ball Super: Broly.
** Videogames however do make note of the connection, with Kale in ''[=FighterZ=]'' describing the Broly from Dragon Ball Z as a Berserker like her, and expressing fear over turning into either version of Broly if they win. Xenoverse 2 makes it slightly less ambiguous, with Caulifla pointing out how Broly from DBS resembles Kale, and Kale stating that DBS Broly is a Saiyan just like her in their introductory matchup, suggesting their Berserk/Full Power/Legendary states all share the same origin in addition to their appearance.
* AngstNuke: Her Berserk transformation and technique, Gigantic Shout, releases a giant radius of explosive energy upon its completion.
* AwesomeButImpractical:
** Initially, her Berserk transformation sacrificed sanity for raw power, causing her to be completely indiscriminate in her rampage whenever she wasn't focused on a single target. In a survival tournament, this becomes a liability when [[spoiler:she nearly out rings Caulifla and blasts her other teammates, Botamo and Magetta.]] Furthermore, because the transformation was triggered by nothing less than extreme emotional distress (particularly jealousy), Kale couldn't access it at will, and apparently didn't have time to learn the ''regular'' Super Saiyan transformation to cover for this. [[spoiler:In the manga, she becomes a liability by accidentally knocking out Magetta and the Universe 6 Namekians, but at the same time, she becomes a risk to everyone else just as much]].
** Furthermore, in the manga, [[spoiler:she can only maintain the full output of the form for a few minutes, such is its strain. After hitting the peak her power rapidly starts dropping, and it's stated that the stress of the transformation would outright kill her if she was left alone.]]
** {{Downplayed|Trope}} [[AdaptationalBadass in the anime]] when she later gains access to a more controlled version of the form, which she can enter/exit from it at will, yet it still takes a number on her energy, [[PowerStrainBlackout forcing her unconscious]] afterward. Her anime-exclusive Super Saiyan 2 form, a mastered version of her Berserker form, finally negates the power strain and exhaustion, allowing her complete control of her massive power while maintaining her sanity.
* AxCrazy:
** The transformation into her berserker state sweeps her into a homicidal rage that can make her lash out at friend or foe.
** It gets worse when it's with Goku. She goes into a one-sighted homicidal rage and she outright wants to murder Goku. [[spoiler:Jiren's the only one who stops Kale]].
* BadassAdorable: Her restrained Super Saiyan form marks her transition into becoming a more competent fighter with her Olympic athlete design and potent powers. Even Kale's base form, for how girlishly meek it normally is, puts up a small effort to combat [[Characters/DragonBallUniverse10 Mechiōpu]]. Both forms [[WhenSheSmiles beam with confidence]] once they feel they're doing something right.
* BadassBoast: Managed to deliver one against Goku while teaming up with Caulifla:
-->'''Caulifla:''' So he's starting with red?[[note]]Super Saiyan God.[[/note]]
-->'''Kale:''' Red or blue, it's all the same! Let's beat him up!
-->'''Caulifla:''' Well said!
* BeamSpam: During her fight with Goku, she unleashes an omnidirectional barrage of ki blasts that threatens everyone on the arena and even eliminates one of them.
* BerserkButton: Kale's a pretty sensitive girl who hates anyone coming between her and her mentor Caulifla.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's relatively nice compared to Caulifla on the on-set, despite her earlier dips into jealousy. She's not prone to picking fights vocally or physically and respects order. However, if one decided to harm Caulifla, they'll face a much more monstrous side of her.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Kale has been depicted as being mostly a meek introvert with a tendency to stoically observe others. [[CuteAndPsycho However]], she also has [[NotSoWeak the ability]] to take on a Berserk, or in the manga "Legendary Saiyan" state, displaying herself as a very homicidal force of nature that in the anime she frightens and nearly kills Cabba, gives Goku a hard time, and wrecks a good portion of the Tournament Of Power arena, while in the manga she takes out most of the competition by herself, including Agnilasa, while also fending off Goku and Frieza in their strongest forms, and nearly knocking out Vegeta and Top.
* TheBigGal: Among the three Saiyans within the Tournament of Power's Universe 6 team, Kale's Berserker form is easily the most powerful fighter. [[spoiler:Disregarding the Saiyan delinquents fusion, Kefla, anyway.]]
* BlackCloak: In the [[Manga/DragonBallSuper manga]], she normally dons a hoodied cloak along with other members of Caulifla's gang.
* CanonImmigrant: Not herself, but the Legendary Super Saiyan transformation she uses was previously exclusive to Broly from the [[NonSerialMovie non-serial movies]]. It's only labeled her Berserk state in supplementary material, but in the manga she's officially labeled the Legendary Saiyan of Universe 6, her backstory finally mirroring Broly's.
* CatchPhrase: Tend to discredit herself with "I'm just...", much to Caulifla's annoyance.
-->'''Caulifla:''' There it is! Kale's "I'm just..."! Don't worry! [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre You can do it, Kale! You're a Saiyan too!]]
* CharacterDevelopment: Prior to the tournament, she was a worry wart, jealous Saiyan who lacked emotional control and the appetite to fight. Her [[BerserkButton trigger]] made her more of a destructive liability to her own team. However:
** She grows to accept or respect allies outside of Caulifla. Notably, her antagonistic relationship against Cabba softened over time, to the point where she obeyed his decision to pull Caulifla away from a potential fight against [[Characters/DragonBallUniverse4 Monna]], and even referred to him as "Cabba-san" (in the original [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseLanguage Japanese]] version).
** She becomes less blindly subservient to Caulifla. While there is no doubt that she still deeply cares and respects her mentor, she became less afraid of calling out some of Caulifla's [[WhatTheHellHero questionable]] actions, like her overconfidence, in a respectable manner. Caulifla seems to be encouraging this, as in Episode 114 she outright tells Kale that she ''shouldn't'' just follow her, but stand alongside her.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Kale's SuperpoweredEvilSide, during her first appearance, did a psychotic smile and proclaimed her murderous intent with Cabba, similar to her inspiration Broly. However, this clashes with Kale's Berserker mode personality from later episodes, where is instead treated as a form of pure rage, similar to the classic [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]]
* ClingyJealousGirl: Episode 93 reveals that Kale doesn't like Cabba because she feels like he's stealing Caulifla away from her. This causes Kale to try and kill Cabba after she transforms into her berserker Super Saiyan form. She felt the same way towards Goku in Episode 100, and her rage is so bad, that she refuses to listen to anybody until Goku is out of the picture.
* CowerPower: Kale tends to hide behind and hold onto Caulifla out of paranoia.
* DeadpanSnarker: She managed to throw some light shade at Caulifla, of all people, over her overconfidence while Universe 6 undergoes their DarkestHour.
-->'''Caulifla:''' Of course, I'm scared...of my own infinite potential!
-->'''Kale:''' You're ''super'' positive, aren't you?
* DependingOnTheArtist:
** The design of her eyes depends on who is the artist at the time during the episodes. Sometimes, the eyes will look bigger, to emphasize her cute elements, but other times, they will look smaller, and make her look sort of UglyCute.
** [[YourSizeMayVary Is Kale as tall as Cabba and Caulifla in her base form, or slightly taller?]] Depends on the artist.
** In the manga, unlike in the anime, her initial Super Saiyan form and Berserker/Full Power states look slimmer and much more feminine, as opposed to the rather obvious Broly inspired design.
* DistaffCounterpart:
** Looks-wise serves as a gender-flipped, alternate universe version of pre-canon Broly. Personality-wise, she resembles Gohan a lot more. Kale is insanely talented and stronger than Cabba and Caulilfa, but she simply lacks the appetite for fighting that they have.
** Like Gohan in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', she does not seem to have the instincts of a warrior and has confidence issues, but she has monstrous potential. She goes from adorable to brutal in seconds, similar to when Gohan first went from a crybaby to brutally wounding Raditz when Goku and Piccolo were getting stomped.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: At first glance, Kale appears to be a carbon copy of the original Broly in the body of a girl. However, the personality of her Berserker mode is not of a AxCrazy psychopath that enjoys destruction like her inspiration, but is treated more like a Hulk-like SuperpoweredEvilSide blinded by pure rage. And even then, Kale's CharacterDevelopment kicks in, making her more of a stable character than the original Broly ever was.
* TheDreaded: Her Berserker form has been described to be terrifying in promotional material. Vegeta, when seeing it for the first time, call it "a sinister form" and told Goku to be careful about her. Kale's awakening as the "Legendary Saiyan" of Universe 6 brings the tournament to its final act in the manga, as Kale on her own manages to eliminate every remaining universe bar Universe 7 and Universe 11, including most of the remaining members of her own team..
--> '''Vegeta:''' Be careful Kakarot! That might be the Saiyans true form! [[labelnote:Translation note]]It is ambiguous to what Vegeta is referring to, since the phrasing is slightly weird in [[[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseLanguage Japanese]]. It either means her true form, or that Kale's form "could be what the Saiyans were originally like". [[spoiler:Broly's movie indirectly implies that it's the result of an extremely rare genetic defect]].[[/labelnote]]
* EarlyBirdCameo:
** Appears quite a bit in the Genkai Toppa×Survivor opening with the Pride Troopers ([[spoiler:though that appearance may actually have been an even Earlier Bird Cameo for Kefla]]) and transforming along with Cabba and Frost, and the promotional commercial showing her base form HulkingOut before her proper appearance on the show, to the point of WolverinePublicity.
** Her "controlled" form was shown in a Shonen magazine months before the tournament actually started, showing her alongside Jiren and Ribrianne.
* EdibleThemeNaming: Like all Saiyans, her name is taken from a vegetable, kale, which so happens to be a relative of broccoli, [[MeaningfulName from which Broly's name is derived.]]
* EmeraldPower: Her Berserker form features green hair and a Ki aura that glows a sickly green color. In addition, her energy attacks and exhaled steam feature the same coloring.
* EnemyMine: She and Caulifla team up with Goku from Universe 7 to take on a bunch of Pride Troopers after Jiren and Toppo send them against Goku.
* FaceOfAThug: Kale's KubrickStare, appropriately, has a stoic, delinquent facade that tends to fade quickly once she becomes weak-willed and emotional. [[SubvertedTrope However]], once she becomes a Berserker, the face is very accurate to that form's persona.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: While Caulifla considers Kale to be special enough to be her personal protegee, most people barely acknowledge the seemingly weak gang lapdog unless Caulifla's around. Enter the Tournament of Power, where after getting tortured and ignored by her enthralled boss, Kale finally cracked into her Berserker state and made a fearfully destructive presence that literally reshaped the arena. This is enough to attract even the Pride Troopers, causing Jiren to quickly forced her out of her rampage, while Kahseral's squad specifically called her out as a motive for payback against Goku, Caulifla, and Kale. In the manga, Kale goes from someone whose power Caulifla couldn't recognize to the fighter with the most eliminations, who managed to fend off both Goku and Frieza, along with nearly knock out Vegeta and Top.
* GoodCounterpart: Though she is a member of [[JapaneseDelinquents Caulifla's gang]], if what Cabba says is true about Universe 6 Saiyans, she may be this to the NonSerialMovie villain Broly.
** [[{{Subverted}} Initially]] when she first unlocks her Berserk form, she violently attacks Cabba ''only'', forcing Caulifla to intervene. In the midst of the Tournament of Power, her Berserk form's savagely violent persona becomes even more like Broly, targeting Goku and becoming a dreaded menace to every fighting participant in the arena.
** [[DoubleSubversion However]], after helplessly watching an injured Caulifla stall an impending attack, Kale manages to temporarily gain control of her potent forms and assist her mentor effectively in combat. Even when she willingly accesses her Berserk form, she's less of a WildCard liability.
** [[ZigZaggingTrope Then in the manga it's played straight again]], as once Kale transforms she's effectively a mindless berserker, her backstory mirroring Broly's even more closely as her power is revealed to be a result of her being the "Legendary Saiyan" of Universe 6, but in her mindless rage state she knocks out most of her teammates.
* GirlyBruiser: Her base form rocks the crop top, mini-skirt, lipstick, and earring attire with her occasional boxing style and petite frame. When she accesses her Super Saiyan forms, she upgrades into an AmazonianBeauty.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Her soft-spoken voice and personality, along with her traditional feminine attire, contrasts with her mentor's tomboy equivalent. That said, once she gains a confidence boost, on top of accessing her Super Saiyan forms, Kale becomes eager to fight fast and ferociously.
* GracefulLoser: After failing to defeat Ultra Instinct Goku as [[FusionDance Kefla]], and accidentally destroying Fuwa's Potara Earrings in the process, Kale directly apologizes to Champa and Fuwa with a bowing, calm demeanor. Her mentor Caulifla, [[SoreLoser on the other hand]], doesn't take the loss as lightly.
* HidingBehindYourBangs: Her regular form features one overlapping her left eye, a quick clue into her meek demeanor. She still retains the hair bang in her [[SuperMode Berserk state]], but with [[SubvertedTrope a stark personality contrast]] towards a [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy typical Universe 7 Saiyan's behavior]].
* HulkingOut: How her transformation into Super Saiyan is portrayed, with [[GrowingMusclesSequence all of her muscles expanding]] and a [[WeightTaller drastic height and size increase]].
* IfICantHaveYou: In episode 100, after transforming, Kale tries to attack Caulifla because she thought that Goku was taking her away from Kale. She is only stopped because Jiren intervenes. It's not clear if she was going to kill or just injure her. This was a result of her losing control of her power and emotions in her transformed state, as she is normally very fond of Caulifla, and would not attack her in any other circumstance. It's not quite clear if this was the romantic version of the trope, despite Kale's [[AmbiguouslyLesbian implied sexuality]].
* InternalizedCategorism: Kale's self-esteem is so low, she considers herself as "a pathetic Saiyan".
* TheJuggernaut:
** Her Berserker form is so stupidly powerful, she can power through a Super Saiyan Blue Kamehameha with no apparent damage.
** Her manga form is much more powerful, blindly wiping out FOUR universes one after another with no opposition whatsoever (even Agnilasa from Universe 3 got taken out easily by her), while placing a huge dent on Universe 11's numbers, which at the moment, had no fighters knocked out.
* KickTheMoralityPet: Prior to the Tournament of Power, Caulifla was the only person that could calm her down when she went into her Berserk form and never directly harmed her, however when she thinks Goku stole Caulifla from her she loses complete control of herself and attacks Caulifla twice. The first time she charges at her and Goku with only Hit's Time-Skip saving Caulifla from falling out of the ring, the second time she lunges at Caulifla from behind before being one-shotted by Jiren before she could hit her.
* KubrickStare: For a normally meek and emotional girl, she tends to stare down and observe others (that aren't Caulifla) with this look, as evident in her profile image. The expression can evolve into a DeathGlare or DisapprovingLook.
* TheLancer: She is Caulifla's second-in-command in a gang of Saiyan punks (Saiyan Cultists in the manga) and is always by her side.
* LettingHerHairDown: She tends to sport long hair after powering down from her Super Saiyan forms, seeing as their wild hairstyles destroy Kale's hair bands every time.
* LightningBruiser: Berserk Kale may be bigger and stronger than most Universe 6 Saiyans, but it doesn't hinder her flight speed when successfully chasing down the [[FragileSpeedster smaller]] Cabba, or keeping up with all of Goku's forms, in their battle.
* LipstickLesbian: She's more AmbiguouslyGay at this point, but her interactions with Caulifla suggest a massive crush, and she became a Super Saiyan because she thought Cabba was going to take Caulifla away from her. She becomes more [[ButchLesbian butch]] as a Super Saiyan though, getting the musculature that rivals male bodybuilders.
* LuminescentBlush: Due to being really emotional, Kale tends to do this whenever she's feeling really strongly about anything.
* MagicPants: Much like Broly, her clothing expands after transforming. It's more noticeable with her because she is much smaller before transforming and wears a shirt.
* MakeMeWannaShout:
** Her Berserker form turns her into a feral beast, [[RoarBeforeBeating making her unleash]] from her lungs a powerful scream, capable of destroying part of the arena of the Tournament of Power, made from the strongest metal in the multiverse.
** Her ''Gigantic Shout'' technique, from VideoGame/DragonBallHeroes, combines this with a massive expulsion of destructive energy within her radius.
* MeaningfulName: Kale is a relative of broccoli, and is considered a superfood. Rather appropriate for Broly's DistaffCounterpart.
* MetronomicManMashing: Berserker Kale delivered one to Super Saiyan 2 Goku during her assault, ragdolling him multiple times before Goku stalled her with an [[NoSell ineffective]] kick.
* MysteriousPast: Unlike Cabba and Caulifla who have some background, Kale's origins are a mystery, and only Caulifla appears to know where she comes from. The manga, however, does state she and the other gang members were rescued by Caulifla and given a home, but still leave her origins quite unknown.
* MoralityPet: So far Kale seems to be the only person Caulifla treats with kindness and respect. She clearly struggles with even saying bad stuff to Kale and constantly tries to get Kale to believe in herself. This, however, gets downplayed as her Berserker form is too unstable, with even Kale attacking Caulifla during their fight with Goku.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: It's heavily implied her feelings for Caulifla go beyond a teacher-protegee relationship. When she finds Caulifla getting a little too close to Cabba for her liking, the jealousy is part of what triggers her transformation into her berserker form, at which point she is so overwhelmed by UnstoppableRage that she tries to kill him. Likewise, she tries to kill Goku for doing the same.
-->'''Kale:''' You've taken my one and only away from me. You going to regret that Goku! I'll make you pay!
* MusclesAreMeaningful: Kale's Berserk state is bulkier than Caulifla and Cabba, but is considered more powerful than Super Saiyan Cabba (who is usually the poster boy of [[MusclesAreMeaningless the opposite]] along with Caulifla).
* MythologyGag: She is a walking Broly reference, mostly in her Berserker state.
** Her first line to Cabba is ''"キャベ ! まずはお前から血祭りにあげてやる" ("''Cabba! Mazu ha omae kara chimatsuri ni ageteyaru!''") ("Cabba! The first of my victims will be you!") much like Broly's first line as a Legendary Super Saiyan to Goku. She also says "Energy rising... overflowing", much like her inspiration.
** She gains a sudden hatred of Goku and starts to repeat ad nauseam his name but instead of Kakarot, it's Son Goku, because she (unlike Broly) doesn't know Kakarot is Goku's actual Saiyan name.
** She {{No Sell}}s Goku's Kamehameha Wave complete with a FacepalmOfDoom in her Berserker state, much like her inspiration. What makes it impressive is that Goku was in his Super Saiyan '''Blue''' state.
** In the manga it's made explicit that she's also a Legendary Saiyan, a demonic Saiyan that appears only once every 1000 years, and doomed to destroy herself and everything around her. This not only parallels Broly's backstory, but also mixes it with the legend of the Super Saiyan that was destroyed by his own power.
** Her attire is a hybrid of Z Broly's and GT Bulla's: The crop top and miniskirt are akin to Bulla's outfit, while her armbands and boots match Broly's.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Like the other Universe 6 Saiyans, Kale is very slim and not muscular while untransformed. However, she also has this towards the Universe 6 Saiyans, being the only full-blooded Saiyan in the franchise ''without'' wholly black irises, instead of having very dark gray irises. She's also the only one to get taller when she transforms into a restrained Super Saiyan.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Kale learns to master her Berserk form, [[spoiler:but once Goku goes Super Saiyan God, he wipes the floor with her.]]
* PerpetualFrowner: Kale tends to sport a worried or annoyed frown everywhere she wanders when she's not being stoic. [[DownplayedTrope However]], when Caulifla is around, or if she finally feels a shred of confidence, she sports a [[WhenSheSmiles heartwarming smile]].
* PersonOfMassDestruction: When she turns Berserk, her power starts to grow out of control, to the point she had to release energy. That energy was so powerful it was capable of destroying part of the arena, '''that is made of the strongest metal in the multiverse.''' She also {{No Sell}}s Goku's Kamehameha Wave as a power-suppressed Super Saiyan Blue, meaning she is too powerful for her own good. Hit was worried she might kill someone, getting her disqualified. To top it all, her screams are powerful enough to destroy part of the arena.
-->'''Top:''' That much force...from her voice alone?!
* PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep: Compared to the high-pitched, meek sounding voice of her base form, Kale's voice in her Berserk state is huskier and more sensual.
* ThePowerOfHate: A typical trigger to unlock a Saiyan's [[GoldenSuperMode super form]], and Kale's Berserker and Super Saiyan forms are no different. Subverted with how she unlocks Super Saiyan 2, however.
* ThePowerOfLove: Her Berserk form is fueled by jealousy of those she thinks may steal Caulifla from her. [[spoiler:She gains a controlled Super Saiyan state when Caulifla puts everything on the line to protect her, and Kale is driven to do so in turn. Later, when she goes Berserk again, Caulifla telling Kale how important she is to her, that Kale is the only one who can fight by her side, drives Kale to fully control her full power into unlocking Super Saiyan 2.]]
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: Minutes after transforming into her Berserk state, the mentally unstable Kale offers a [[MythologyGag familiar threat]][[note]]See the Berserk Mode quote above for reference[[/note]] to Cabba with a [[PsychoticSmirk smirk]] before [[CurbStompBattle wailing down on him relentlessly]].
* ProphetEyes: Displays these in her Berserk form.
* TheQuietOne: She can hardly raise her voice due to being too shy. Least, when in her normal state.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In the Funimation dub, Berserker Kale mindlessly refers to Goku by various negative adjectives, expressing how much bottled-up disdain she projects onto him despite Goku being a complete stranger.
-->'''Kale:''' Goku the destroyer of lives...the ruiner...the arrogant...the parasite...the stubborn...the spineless...the vulnerable!
* RedIsViolent: Her crop-top, mini skirt, and boot ankles are colored in red. When she goes berserk, she doesn't hold back when it comes to beating down on her opponents.
* ReluctantWarrior: Before gaining some form of control over her latent Super Saiyan powers, Kale didn't feel capable enough to be an effective fighter, often downgrading herself as being a pathetic Saiyan.
* SatelliteCharacter: Most of Kale's interactions and motivations revolve around Caulifla, due to being the only person [[{{Dandere}} she's willing to work with]] on friendly terms. Without Caulifla to support her, Kale can slowly break down into a seemingly powerless state. Even when she becomes more confident, she is mostly just working with her sis.
* SayMyName:
** In the original [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseLanguage Japanese]], after transforming into her berserker form due to Goku and Caulifla fighting, she starts to call his name ad nauseum. It's the only thing she says, being blinded by rage.
--->'''Kale:''' Son Goku... Son Goku... '''Son Goku. Kill!'''
** In the Funimation dub, Berserker Kale's dialogue was slightly punched up, but she still repeatedly refers to Goku by name.
* ShonenHair: Her Berserk form's hairstyle is par for the course for her race's {{Super Mode}}s: exaggerated spiky, bushy [[PowerDyesYourHair yellow]] hair (with a unique green tint not unlike Broly).
* ShrinkingViolet: She is a shy girl, having difficulty with words. It's very clear her lack of confidence and self-worth because of this was a big factor in the stress that eventually caused her transformation. This is actually similar to a mentally subdued Broly's personality before turning into a Super Saiyan.
* SlipknotPonytail: Her ponytailed hair with bangs functions this way whenever she transforms into her Berserk form.
* SleepModeSize: Her Super Saiyan is a restrained version of her Berserk form, looking more like a moderately taller Olympic female athlete as opposed to the latter's towering weightlifter physique.
* StatuesqueStunner: Kale's Berserk form easily towers over most characters, like Cabba and Caulifla.[[note]]She is normally around the same height as the two.[[/note]], and Goku[[note]]Who normally towers over the Universe 6 Saiyans.[[/note]] While Caulifla was impressed by Kale's transformation, Cabba was more focused on staying alive against her new form. [[spoiler:When she finally fully masters her power in Episode 114, her bulked-up Berserk form metamorphoses into a near-identical appearance of her controlled form, only slightly taller and muscular, and her hair the same green as her Berserk state, as opposed to the green-tinged gold colour her Super Saiyan state had.]]
* TheStoic: In the manga, she shows little emotion and hides her true power in order to not ruin Caulifla's pride.
* SuperiorSuccessor: If she were to get control over her immense strength, she may surpass Caulifla. In episode 100, it's made clear that she's already way more powerful than Caulifla in her transformed state, as Caulifla was evenly matched with Super Saiyan 2 Goku, while Kale smacked around suppressed Super Saiyan Blue Goku. Her only real problem is her lack of long-term control of the form. As of Episode 114, [[spoiler:she manages to accomplish mastering her Berserk state, something that not even Broly could, or had the inclination, to do, but then gets beaten by Goku.]]
* SuperMode: An odd one for the series, but she can transform from a meek-looking girl into a Broly-like beast! [[spoiler:After she fully masters the Berserk form and irons out its anger issues she unlocks Super Saiyan 2, becoming less beastly and resembling a taller, more powerful green haired version of her Super Saiyan State.]]
* SuperPoweredEvilSide: In the anime, in her normal form Kale is a weakling who can barely fight. Her Berserk form is just as violent and powerful as Broly's Legendary Super Saiyan form. Cabba could barely survive and Caulifla had to bail him out. [[spoiler:She finally gets a grip on the form in episode 101, and as of episode 114, she manages to water out the negative effects on her body and mind and master the state, transforming it into a bona fide SuperMode.]] In the manga, this is even more prominent as [[spoiler:when Kale awakens as the Legendary Saiyan of her universe, she ends up knocking out most of her comrades, ultimately leaving only her, Cabba, and Kale to defend Universe 6.]]
* SuperStrength: In the manga, her Legendary Super Saiyan form is strong enough to lift Magetta and carry him in one arm, the same Magetta that not even SSJ Blue ''Vegeta'' can lift.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute:
** In ''SPADES'' A timid, quiet girl who hits a breaking point upon seeing something enraging and becomes an unstoppable monster is exactly like Broly. Specifically, the original version of Broly. Kale, upon transforming for the first time against Cabba, and then against Goku, served as a rather blatant copy of Z's Broly, performing the same moves, saying lines that the insane Saiyan said, and even having a transformation that was exactly like his. However, this is gradually subverted, Kale shows her own very distinct personality in both the anime and manga.
** As a non-threatening dark-haired girl who can change into a light-haired BloodKnight, she's the Saiyan equivalent to Lunch.
* TameHerAnger: Her Super Saiyan form is powerful but utterly uncontrollable due to the crazed fury it instills in her, so this is part of her learning to control it. [[spoiler:She starts to gain a measure of control in episode 101. As of Episode 114 she's mastered her berserker state and can now use its full capabilities without lapsing into an UnstoppableRage.]]
* TeachHerAnger: When she can't transform through a technical explanation like Caulifla, Caulifla decides to do it through anger by insulting her. That doesn't work, but her jealousy at Caulifla's perceived closeness to Cabba (and later Goku) does the trick.
* TemporaryBulkChange: [[spoiler:Once she gains control of her Super Saiyan form, she's able to deliberately bulk up to her Legendary form without losing control.]]
* ThemeNaming: Like all Saiyans, Kale is named after a vegetable.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's a demure, quiet girly girl to Caulifla (the gang leader who, until recently, was considered the WorldsGreatestWarrior as far as female, Universe 6 Saiyans go), and to [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis herself]] (when she's going Berserk, she's a female Broly in every sense, even having similarly incredible musculature).
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: After she gains access to a more controllable Super Saiyan form, and unlocking her version of Super Saiyan 2, she becomes much more cheerful and confident in herself.
* TorpedoTits: Kale's Berserk state is able to charge an explosive ball of Ki in-between her breasts. She uses this a counterattack against Cabba and Super Saiyan 2 Goku.
* UnderestimatingBadassery:
** Kale, even after displaying her monstrous strength as a Super Saiyan, was still marked as easy prey with Caulifla by Kahersal. She proved them wrong, big time, by ringing them out with Caulifla.
** Like Caulifla, Kale cannot sense God Ki, therefore she was unaware of what she was getting into when Goku when Super Saiyan God and even said that whether it was Blue or Red, it wouldn't matter as they were all the same. As she quickly finds out, they ''aren't'' the same as Goku goes from being on the ropes against Kale and Caulifla to toying around with them even whilst he's still recovering.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Caulifla. Kale has always been by her side since the day Caulifla rescued her when she was lost by a roadside and is eternally grateful.
* UnstoppableRage: She goes from meek and frightened girl to a crazed giant, trying to ''kill'' Cabba and Goku over her rage blowing jealousy of a perceived closeness with Caulifla out of proportion. However, even as her speech begins to deteriorate, she never deliberately attacks Caulifla in this state. To Kale's credit, she still did better than Caulifla and was able to deflect Goku's ki attack.
* UnskilledButStrong: When she goes Berserk, her fighting skills are sub-par as she shows during her fight with Goku. Goku can't really hurt her, but the reverse is also true and Goku is more bemused at her invulnerability than worried. Though she does force him back to his base form. This also comes into play in the manga, where the coordinated teamwork of Universe 11 nearly manages to ring her out, thanks to her movements being so easy to read.
* VagueAge: Much like Caulifla and Cabba, it's unknown how old Kale really is, though she seems to be around Caulifla's age, who Cabba seems to call "miss" either out of courtesy or because she really is older than him.
%%* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend
* VisualPun: Once she enters her Berserk mode due to jealousy, she is literally [[GreenEyedMonster green with envy.]]
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: She goes from a shy, timid girl to a raging violent monster after turning into her Berserk form.
* WolverinePublicity: She has received quite a lot of focus in both the new opening and promotional material, which isn't shocking considering Toei Animation knows about [[BreakoutVillain Broly's popularity]]. Add the fact she is also the first revealed female Super Saiyan in canon, and you get people's attention.
* TheWorfEffect: Gets defeated by [[spoiler:Jiren in the Tournament of Power very easily after easily overpowering a suppressed Super Saiyan Blue Goku, taking out a few members of the arena. However, Jiren doesn't eliminate her, merely knocking her out of her Berserk state]].
* WorldsStrongestWoman: In her transformed state, Kale is far more powerful than Caulifla. As they are the only two females representing Universe 6, Kale must be the most powerful female mortal in Universe 6 while in her transformed state.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Kale's Berserk state, in her initial tournament rampage, dragged Super Saiyan 2 Goku through a series of rocks by performing a lariat on him.
* {{Yandere}}: You can tell she's this when part of what triggers her Super Saiyan transformation is her jealousy upon seeing Cabba getting close to her beloved "Ane-Sama", Caulifla. Upon transforming, her first impulse is to, of course, try to [[MurderTheHypotenuse kill Cabba]]. The same happens to Goku when Caulifla seems a little too eager to keep fighting him. She seems to better control her clingy nature by the time she gains confidence in herself.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Caulifla is constantly trying to convince the shy and demure Kale that she is strong, but Kale doesn't think it's true (much to Caulifla's annoyance). The self-deprecating pressure Kale always has (exemplified by her quick breakdown for, initially, failing to acquire the Super Saiyan transformation) is part of why she transforms.
* YourSizeMayVary: Kale's Berserk state towers over most participants in the Tournament of Power, but by how much is rather inconsistent. Caulifla, as a comparison, can either be as high as Berserker Kale's waist in one scene, but suddenly have her hair tips reaching Kale's shoulders.

----
** At the arc's start, Anime Kale is shown as extremely weak both physically and mentally, cowering and crying before danger and being totally impotent (so much that [[KindheartedSimpleton Goku, of all people]], [[BrutalHonesty tells her to get lost while he's fighting Caulifla]]). Manga Kale, while still subservient to Caulifla, is shown to be more experienced around the same point, taking quick action to neutralize or reverse a situation, like crushing a soldier's gun to protect her unknowing boss. She is also powerful enough to outpace and pickpocket Super Saiyan Cabba, without his realization. In the tournament she easily knocks out Dercori from Universe 4 while in her base form, while in the anime, her base form was very weak and was in the receiving end of getting tortured by two Universe 10 fighters; Frieza outright says that she's stronger than Cabba or Caulifla even before she transforms in the manga, even though she's in base and they're Super Saiyans.
** Her Super Saiyan form is this in the manga. Upon accessing it the first time, she was able to ragdoll True Golden Frieza (though he claims to not have been taking her seriously) and was somewhat able to hold her own against Mastered Super Saiyan Blue Goku. This would actually put her on the same level as Top with God ki and Fused Zamasu, whereas in the anime she's only able to hold her own against an exhausted Super Saiyan God Goku (being able to deflect his attack, while Caulifla was forced to try and dodge). And then she starts to bulk up, showing that her Berserk transformation [[GatheringSteam gradually gets stronger the longer she fights]]. Then again, in the manga, her forms' instability are not an InformedAttribute like in the anime; she can barely use that power for more than a minute or so due to PowerIncontinence and quickly hits her peak and drops rapidly as her transformation destroys her own body. [[spoiler:Fusing into Kefla remedies this, as Vados says Kefla has Kale's great power and she doesn't have any such issues, though unlike in the anime, manga Kefla doesn't seem to be any stronger than Kale alone.]]
** In the anime, while everyone (even including Brianne and her group, who hadn't transformed at that point) except for one unfortunate Universe 10 fighter were able to dodge all of Kale's stray blasts (and later knocking Vuon out), in the manga, fighters get eliminated left and right by Kale in her Berserker Form, [[TheJuggernaut including Magetta]], the Universe 6 Namekians, and the remnants of Universes 4, 3 (yes, even FREAKING AGNILASA, who in the anime, was a ClimaxBoss before the final showdown between Universes 7 and 11), 2, and 10 (in that order). She managed to almost take out Vegeta and Top during their fight too, with Top only surviving because of Dyspo. Cabba did indeed bring a force to be reckoned with in the Tournament of Power, and that's not even before Kefla.
%% * AdaptationDeviation:
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Her dynamic with Caulifla in the manga. In the anime, the two are the best of friends and clearly care for one another, their relationship being a student/teacher dynamic with Kale having an [[AmbiguouslyGay implied crush]] on Caulifla. In the manga, while Caulifla still has a bit of respect for Kale, their relationship isn't as close as it is in the anime, with Caulifla treating her more like a subordinate while Kale sees Caulifla more as a sister figure rather than the implied crush in the anime. It can best be seen in how Kale was recruited into the tournament. In the anime, Caulifla made Kale's involvement a stipulation for her agreeing to fight, while in the manga she is somewhat surprised, even annoyed, that Cabba brought her along.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the anime, she is a shy and insecure young girl who feels she couldn't measure to the skills of her sister figure. In the manga, she is a stoic bodyguard to Caulifla who knows ''she is'' the stronger of the two, but doesn't tell Caulifla in order to not harm her pride.
* AlmightyJanitor: She's a subordinate of Caulifla. That said, as opposed to everyone thinking Caulifla's the strongest Saiyan woman of Universe 6, she may prove to be even stronger thanks to her berserk Super Saiyan form.
--> '''Cabba:''' I came here for one strong ally, but it seems I accidentally stumbled upon another.
* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: Kale doesn't seem to remember her Berserk form's chaos whenever she reawakens from her exhaustion. However, she manages to overcome this trait once she mastered her Super Saiyan transformations during the Tournament Of Power.
* AmazonianBeauty: Her [[https://tinyurl.com/ybtza4sr Super Saiyan 2]] and [[http://i.imgur.com/RDI7Hoo.jpg Berserker]] forms emphasize her large, muscular, yet feminine frame.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Described as a "dark-skinned beauty"[[note]]within the Episode 93 [[https://twitter.com/Herms98/status/870183023743909889 preview]] of Magazine/ShonenJump[[/note]], Kale is noticeably tanned compared to the likes of Caulifla and Cabba and other Saiyans. Like Broly and Paragus, brown skin gives a mysterious, foreign look. However, like Broly, her skin gains a slightly lighter shade of melanin when she transforms into her Berserker form.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Or rather "Ambigiously Lesbian". She gives off some strong lesbian vibes for Caulifla, like blushing when complemented by her, being jealous of Cabba's interactions with Caulifla, and when she goes into a berserker rage it's only when Caulifla says she isn't interested in Cabba and how wonderful Kale is that she calms down. It's less ambiguous in the dub, where Kale refers to Caulifla as her "one and only". This is also less ambiguous in Legends, Kale refers to Caulifla as a "knight in shining armor".
* AmbiguousSituation: Not particularly in regard to Kale herself, but rather her connection to Broly and if their respective berserker transformations are the same or not. Unique to Kale, she has a regular Super Saiyan form that makes her more muscular than normal that she can control in the anime, plus she manages to control her Berserk state, achieving a unique green Super Saiyan 2 form in the process. In contrast, Broly has a unique Wrath state representative of his great ape form. His basic Super Saiyan state is berserk too, unlike Kale in the anime, but matching her usage of the form in the manga. Though Kale's form shares Broly's background in Z as a Legendary Saiyan that appears once every 1000 years in the manga, neither Kale nor the backstory is mentioned or tied to Broly in Dragon Ball Super: Broly.
** Videogames however do make note of the connection, with Kale in ''[=FighterZ=]'' describing the Broly from Dragon Ball Z as a Berserker like her, and expressing fear over turning into either version of Broly if they win. Xenoverse 2 makes it slightly less ambiguous, with Caulifla pointing out how Broly from DBS resembles Kale, and Kale stating that DBS Broly is a Saiyan just like her in their introductory matchup, suggesting their Berserk/Full Power/Legendary states all share the same origin in addition to their appearance.
* AngstNuke: Her Berserk transformation and technique, Gigantic Shout, releases a giant radius of explosive energy upon its completion.
* AwesomeButImpractical:
** Initially, her Berserk transformation sacrificed sanity for raw power, causing her to be completely indiscriminate in her rampage whenever she wasn't focused on a single target. In a survival tournament, this becomes a liability when [[spoiler:she nearly out rings Caulifla and blasts her other teammates, Botamo and Magetta.]] Furthermore, because the transformation was triggered by nothing less than extreme emotional distress (particularly jealousy), Kale couldn't access it at will, and apparently didn't have time to learn the ''regular'' Super Saiyan transformation to cover for this. [[spoiler:In the manga, she becomes a liability by accidentally knocking out Magetta and the Universe 6 Namekians, but at the same time, she becomes a risk to everyone else just as much]].
** Furthermore, in the manga, [[spoiler:she can only maintain the full output of the form for a few minutes, such is its strain. After hitting the peak her power rapidly starts dropping, and it's stated that the stress of the transformation would outright kill her if she was left alone.]]
** {{Downplayed|Trope}} [[AdaptationalBadass in the anime]] when she later gains access to a more controlled version of the form, which she can enter/exit from it at will, yet it still takes a number on her energy, [[PowerStrainBlackout forcing her unconscious]] afterward. Her anime-exclusive Super Saiyan 2 form, a mastered version of her Berserker form, finally negates the power strain and exhaustion, allowing her complete control of her massive power while maintaining her sanity.
* AxCrazy:
** The transformation into her berserker state sweeps her into a homicidal rage that can make her lash out at friend or foe.
** It gets worse when it's with Goku. She goes into a one-sighted homicidal rage and she outright wants to murder Goku. [[spoiler:Jiren's the only one who stops Kale]].
* BadassAdorable: Her restrained Super Saiyan form marks her transition into becoming a more competent fighter with her Olympic athlete design and potent powers. Even Kale's base form, for how girlishly meek it normally is, puts up a small effort to combat [[Characters/DragonBallUniverse10 Mechiōpu]]. Both forms [[WhenSheSmiles beam with confidence]] once they feel they're doing something right.
* BadassBoast: Managed to deliver one against Goku while teaming up with Caulifla:
-->'''Caulifla:''' So he's starting with red?[[note]]Super Saiyan God.[[/note]]
-->'''Kale:''' Red or blue, it's all the same! Let's beat him up!
-->'''Caulifla:''' Well said!
* BeamSpam: During her fight with Goku, she unleashes an omnidirectional barrage of ki blasts that threatens everyone on the arena and even eliminates one of them.
* BerserkButton: Kale's a pretty sensitive girl who hates anyone coming between her and her mentor Caulifla.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's relatively nice compared to Caulifla on the on-set, despite her earlier dips into jealousy. She's not prone to picking fights vocally or physically and respects order. However, if one decided to harm Caulifla, they'll face a much more monstrous side of her.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Kale has been depicted as being mostly a meek introvert with a tendency to stoically observe others. [[CuteAndPsycho However]], she also has [[NotSoWeak the ability]] to take on a Berserk, or in the manga "Legendary Saiyan" state, displaying herself as a very homicidal force of nature that in the anime she frightens and nearly kills Cabba, gives Goku a hard time, and wrecks a good portion of the Tournament Of Power arena, while in the manga she takes out most of the competition by herself, including Agnilasa, while also fending off Goku and Frieza in their strongest forms, and nearly knocking out Vegeta and Top.
* TheBigGal: Among the three Saiyans within the Tournament of Power's Universe 6 team, Kale's Berserker form is easily the most powerful fighter. [[spoiler:Disregarding the Saiyan delinquents fusion, Kefla, anyway.]]
* BlackCloak: In the [[Manga/DragonBallSuper manga]], she normally dons a hoodied cloak along with other members of Caulifla's gang.
* CanonImmigrant: Not herself, but the Legendary Super Saiyan transformation she uses was previously exclusive to Broly from the [[NonSerialMovie non-serial movies]]. It's only labeled her Berserk state in supplementary material, but in the manga she's officially labeled the Legendary Saiyan of Universe 6, her backstory finally mirroring Broly's.
* CatchPhrase: Tend to discredit herself with "I'm just...", much to Caulifla's annoyance.
-->'''Caulifla:''' There it is! Kale's "I'm just..."! Don't worry! [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre You can do it, Kale! You're a Saiyan too!]]
* CharacterDevelopment: Prior to the tournament, she was a worry wart, jealous Saiyan who lacked emotional control and the appetite to fight. Her [[BerserkButton trigger]] made her more of a destructive liability to her own team. However:
** She grows to accept or respect allies outside of Caulifla. Notably, her antagonistic relationship against Cabba softened over time, to the point where she obeyed his decision to pull Caulifla away from a potential fight against [[Characters/DragonBallUniverse4 Monna]], and even referred to him as "Cabba-san" (in the original [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseLanguage Japanese]] version).
** She becomes less blindly subservient to Caulifla. While there is no doubt that she still deeply cares and respects her mentor, she became less afraid of calling out some of Caulifla's [[WhatTheHellHero questionable]] actions, like her overconfidence, in a respectable manner. Caulifla seems to be encouraging this, as in Episode 114 she outright tells Kale that she ''shouldn't'' just follow her, but stand alongside her.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Kale's SuperpoweredEvilSide, during her first appearance, did a psychotic smile and proclaimed her murderous intent with Cabba, similar to her inspiration Broly. However, this clashes with Kale's Berserker mode personality from later episodes, where is instead treated as a form of pure rage, similar to the classic [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]]
* ClingyJealousGirl: Episode 93 reveals that Kale doesn't like Cabba because she feels like he's stealing Caulifla away from her. This causes Kale to try and kill Cabba after she transforms into her berserker Super Saiyan form. She felt the same way towards Goku in Episode 100, and her rage is so bad, that she refuses to listen to anybody until Goku is out of the picture.
* CowerPower: Kale tends to hide behind and hold onto Caulifla out of paranoia.
* DeadpanSnarker: She managed to throw some light shade at Caulifla, of all people, over her overconfidence while Universe 6 undergoes their DarkestHour.
-->'''Caulifla:''' Of course, I'm scared...of my own infinite potential!
-->'''Kale:''' You're ''super'' positive, aren't you?
* DependingOnTheArtist:
** The design of her eyes depends on who is the artist at the time during the episodes. Sometimes, the eyes will look bigger, to emphasize her cute elements, but other times, they will look smaller, and make her look sort of UglyCute.
** [[YourSizeMayVary Is Kale as tall as Cabba and Caulifla in her base form, or slightly taller?]] Depends on the artist.
** In the manga, unlike in the anime, her initial Super Saiyan form and Berserker/Full Power states look slimmer and much more feminine, as opposed to the rather obvious Broly inspired design.
* DistaffCounterpart:
** Looks-wise serves as a gender-flipped, alternate universe version of pre-canon Broly. Personality-wise, she resembles Gohan a lot more. Kale is insanely talented and stronger than Cabba and Caulilfa, but she simply lacks the appetite for fighting that they have.
** Like Gohan in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', she does not seem to have the instincts of a warrior and has confidence issues, but she has monstrous potential. She goes from adorable to brutal in seconds, similar to when Gohan first went from a crybaby to brutally wounding Raditz when Goku and Piccolo were getting stomped.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: At first glance, Kale appears to be a carbon copy of the original Broly in the body of a girl. However, the personality of her Berserker mode is not of a AxCrazy psychopath that enjoys destruction like her inspiration, but is treated more like a Hulk-like SuperpoweredEvilSide blinded by pure rage. And even then, Kale's CharacterDevelopment kicks in, making her more of a stable character than the original Broly ever was.
* TheDreaded: Her Berserker form has been described to be terrifying in promotional material. Vegeta, when seeing it for the first time, call it "a sinister form" and told Goku to be careful about her. Kale's awakening as the "Legendary Saiyan" of Universe 6 brings the tournament to its final act in the manga, as Kale on her own manages to eliminate every remaining universe bar Universe 7 and Universe 11, including most of the remaining members of her own team..
--> '''Vegeta:''' Be careful Kakarot! That might be the Saiyans true form! [[labelnote:Translation note]]It is ambiguous to what Vegeta is referring to, since the phrasing is slightly weird in [[[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseLanguage Japanese]]. It either means her true form, or that Kale's form "could be what the Saiyans were originally like". [[spoiler:Broly's movie indirectly implies that it's the result of an extremely rare genetic defect]].[[/labelnote]]
* EarlyBirdCameo:
** Appears quite a bit in the Genkai Toppa×Survivor opening with the Pride Troopers ([[spoiler:though that appearance may actually have been an even Earlier Bird Cameo for Kefla]]) and transforming along with Cabba and Frost, and the promotional commercial showing her base form HulkingOut before her proper appearance on the show, to the point of WolverinePublicity.
** Her "controlled" form was shown in a Shonen magazine months before the tournament actually started, showing her alongside Jiren and Ribrianne.
* EdibleThemeNaming: Like all Saiyans, her name is taken from a vegetable, kale, which so happens to be a relative of broccoli, [[MeaningfulName from which Broly's name is derived.]]
* EmeraldPower: Her Berserker form features green hair and a Ki aura that glows a sickly green color. In addition, her energy attacks and exhaled steam feature the same coloring.
* EnemyMine: She and Caulifla team up with Goku from Universe 7 to take on a bunch of Pride Troopers after Jiren and Toppo send them against Goku.
* FaceOfAThug: Kale's KubrickStare, appropriately, has a stoic, delinquent facade that tends to fade quickly once she becomes weak-willed and emotional. [[SubvertedTrope However]], once she becomes a Berserker, the face is very accurate to that form's persona.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: While Caulifla considers Kale to be special enough to be her personal protegee, most people barely acknowledge the seemingly weak gang lapdog unless Caulifla's around. Enter the Tournament of Power, where after getting tortured and ignored by her enthralled boss, Kale finally cracked into her Berserker state and made a fearfully destructive presence that literally reshaped the arena. This is enough to attract even the Pride Troopers, causing Jiren to quickly forced her out of her rampage, while Kahseral's squad specifically called her out as a motive for payback against Goku, Caulifla, and Kale. In the manga, Kale goes from someone whose power Caulifla couldn't recognize to the fighter with the most eliminations, who managed to fend off both Goku and Frieza, along with nearly knock out Vegeta and Top.
* GoodCounterpart: Though she is a member of [[JapaneseDelinquents Caulifla's gang]], if what Cabba says is true about Universe 6 Saiyans, she may be this to the NonSerialMovie villain Broly.
** [[{{Subverted}} Initially]] when she first unlocks her Berserk form, she violently attacks Cabba ''only'', forcing Caulifla to intervene. In the midst of the Tournament of Power, her Berserk form's savagely violent persona becomes even more like Broly, targeting Goku and becoming a dreaded menace to every fighting participant in the arena.
** [[DoubleSubversion However]], after helplessly watching an injured Caulifla stall an impending attack, Kale manages to temporarily gain control of her potent forms and assist her mentor effectively in combat. Even when she willingly accesses her Berserk form, she's less of a WildCard liability.
** [[ZigZaggingTrope Then in the manga it's played straight again]], as once Kale transforms she's effectively a mindless berserker, her backstory mirroring Broly's even more closely as her power is revealed to be a result of her being the "Legendary Saiyan" of Universe 6, but in her mindless rage state she knocks out most of her teammates.
* GirlyBruiser: Her base form rocks the crop top, mini-skirt, lipstick, and earring attire with her occasional boxing style and petite frame. When she accesses her Super Saiyan forms, she upgrades into an AmazonianBeauty.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Her soft-spoken voice and personality, along with her traditional feminine attire, contrasts with her mentor's tomboy equivalent. That said, once she gains a confidence boost, on top of accessing her Super Saiyan forms, Kale becomes eager to fight fast and ferociously.
* GracefulLoser: After failing to defeat Ultra Instinct Goku as [[FusionDance Kefla]], and accidentally destroying Fuwa's Potara Earrings in the process, Kale directly apologizes to Champa and Fuwa with a bowing, calm demeanor. Her mentor Caulifla, [[SoreLoser on the other hand]], doesn't take the loss as lightly.
* HidingBehindYourBangs: Her regular form features one overlapping her left eye, a quick clue into her meek demeanor. She still retains the hair bang in her [[SuperMode Berserk state]], but with [[SubvertedTrope a stark personality contrast]] towards a [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy typical Universe 7 Saiyan's behavior]].
* HulkingOut: How her transformation into Super Saiyan is portrayed, with [[GrowingMusclesSequence all of her muscles expanding]] and a [[WeightTaller drastic height and size increase]].
* IfICantHaveYou: In episode 100, after transforming, Kale tries to attack Caulifla because she thought that Goku was taking her away from Kale. She is only stopped because Jiren intervenes. It's not clear if she was going to kill or just injure her. This was a result of her losing control of her power and emotions in her transformed state, as she is normally very fond of Caulifla, and would not attack her in any other circumstance. It's not quite clear if this was the romantic version of the trope, despite Kale's [[AmbiguouslyLesbian implied sexuality]].
* InternalizedCategorism: Kale's self-esteem is so low, she considers herself as "a pathetic Saiyan".
* TheJuggernaut:
** Her Berserker form is so stupidly powerful, she can power through a Super Saiyan Blue Kamehameha with no apparent damage.
** Her manga form is much more powerful, blindly wiping out FOUR universes one after another with no opposition whatsoever (even Agnilasa from Universe 3 got taken out easily by her), while placing a huge dent on Universe 11's numbers, which at the moment, had no fighters knocked out.
* KickTheMoralityPet: Prior to the Tournament of Power, Caulifla was the only person that could calm her down when she went into her Berserk form and never directly harmed her, however when she thinks Goku stole Caulifla from her she loses complete control of herself and attacks Caulifla twice. The first time she charges at her and Goku with only Hit's Time-Skip saving Caulifla from falling out of the ring, the second time she lunges at Caulifla from behind before being one-shotted by Jiren before she could hit her.
* KubrickStare: For a normally meek and emotional girl, she tends to stare down and observe others (that aren't Caulifla) with this look, as evident in her profile image. The expression can evolve into a DeathGlare or DisapprovingLook.
* TheLancer: She is Caulifla's second-in-command in a gang of Saiyan punks (Saiyan Cultists in the manga) and is always by her side.
* LettingHerHairDown: She tends to sport long hair after powering down from her Super Saiyan forms, seeing as their wild hairstyles destroy Kale's hair bands every time.
* LightningBruiser: Berserk Kale may be bigger and stronger than most Universe 6 Saiyans, but it doesn't hinder her flight speed when successfully chasing down the [[FragileSpeedster smaller]] Cabba, or keeping up with all of Goku's forms, in their battle.
* LipstickLesbian: She's more AmbiguouslyGay at this point, but her interactions with Caulifla suggest a massive crush, and she became a Super Saiyan because she thought Cabba was going to take Caulifla away from her. She becomes more [[ButchLesbian butch]] as a Super Saiyan though, getting the musculature that rivals male bodybuilders.
* LuminescentBlush: Due to being really emotional, Kale tends to do this whenever she's feeling really strongly about anything.
* MagicPants: Much like Broly, her clothing expands after transforming. It's more noticeable with her because she is much smaller before transforming and wears a shirt.
* MakeMeWannaShout:
** Her Berserker form turns her into a feral beast, [[RoarBeforeBeating making her unleash]] from her lungs a powerful scream, capable of destroying part of the arena of the Tournament of Power, made from the strongest metal in the multiverse.
** Her ''Gigantic Shout'' technique, from VideoGame/DragonBallHeroes, combines this with a massive expulsion of destructive energy within her radius.
* MeaningfulName: Kale is a relative of broccoli, and is considered a superfood. Rather appropriate for Broly's DistaffCounterpart.
* MetronomicManMashing: Berserker Kale delivered one to Super Saiyan 2 Goku during her assault, ragdolling him multiple times before Goku stalled her with an [[NoSell ineffective]] kick.
* MysteriousPast: Unlike Cabba and Caulifla who have some background, Kale's origins are a mystery, and only Caulifla appears to know where she comes from. The manga, however, does state she and the other gang members were rescued by Caulifla and given a home, but still leave her origins quite unknown.
* MoralityPet: So far Kale seems to be the only person Caulifla treats with kindness and respect. She clearly struggles with even saying bad stuff to Kale and constantly tries to get Kale to believe in herself. This, however, gets downplayed as her Berserker form is too unstable, with even Kale attacking Caulifla during their fight with Goku.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: It's heavily implied her feelings for Caulifla go beyond a teacher-protegee relationship. When she finds Caulifla getting a little too close to Cabba for her liking, the jealousy is part of what triggers her transformation into her berserker form, at which point she is so overwhelmed by UnstoppableRage that she tries to kill him. Likewise, she tries to kill Goku for doing the same.
-->'''Kale:''' You've taken my one and only away from me. You going to regret that Goku! I'll make you pay!
* MusclesAreMeaningful: Kale's Berserk state is bulkier than Caulifla and Cabba, but is considered more powerful than Super Saiyan Cabba (who is usually the poster boy of [[MusclesAreMeaningless the opposite]] along with Caulifla).
* MythologyGag: She is a walking Broly reference, mostly in her Berserker state.
** Her first line to Cabba is ''"キャベ ! まずはお前から血祭りにあげてやる" ("''Cabba! Mazu ha omae kara chimatsuri ni ageteyaru!''") ("Cabba! The first of my victims will be you!") much like Broly's first line as a Legendary Super Saiyan to Goku. She also says "Energy rising... overflowing", much like her inspiration.
** She gains a sudden hatred of Goku and starts to repeat ad nauseam his name but instead of Kakarot, it's Son Goku, because she (unlike Broly) doesn't know Kakarot is Goku's actual Saiyan name.
** She {{No Sell}}s Goku's Kamehameha Wave complete with a FacepalmOfDoom in her Berserker state, much like her inspiration. What makes it impressive is that Goku was in his Super Saiyan '''Blue''' state.
** In the manga it's made explicit that she's also a Legendary Saiyan, a demonic Saiyan that appears only once every 1000 years, and doomed to destroy herself and everything around her. This not only parallels Broly's backstory, but also mixes it with the legend of the Super Saiyan that was destroyed by his own power.
** Her attire is a hybrid of Z Broly's and GT Bulla's: The crop top and miniskirt are akin to Bulla's outfit, while her armbands and boots match Broly's.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Like the other Universe 6 Saiyans, Kale is very slim and not muscular while untransformed. However, she also has this towards the Universe 6 Saiyans, being the only full-blooded Saiyan in the franchise ''without'' wholly black irises, instead of having very dark gray irises. She's also the only one to get taller when she transforms into a restrained Super Saiyan.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Kale learns to master her Berserk form, [[spoiler:but once Goku goes Super Saiyan God, he wipes the floor with her.]]
* PerpetualFrowner: Kale tends to sport a worried or annoyed frown everywhere she wanders when she's not being stoic. [[DownplayedTrope However]], when Caulifla is around, or if she finally feels a shred of confidence, she sports a [[WhenSheSmiles heartwarming smile]].
* PersonOfMassDestruction: When she turns Berserk, her power starts to grow out of control, to the point she had to release energy. That energy was so powerful it was capable of destroying part of the arena, '''that is made of the strongest metal in the multiverse.''' She also {{No Sell}}s Goku's Kamehameha Wave as a power-suppressed Super Saiyan Blue, meaning she is too powerful for her own good. Hit was worried she might kill someone, getting her disqualified. To top it all, her screams are powerful enough to destroy part of the arena.
-->'''Top:''' That much force...from her voice alone?!
* PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep: Compared to the high-pitched, meek sounding voice of her base form, Kale's voice in her Berserk state is huskier and more sensual.
* ThePowerOfHate: A typical trigger to unlock a Saiyan's [[GoldenSuperMode super form]], and Kale's Berserker and Super Saiyan forms are no different. Subverted with how she unlocks Super Saiyan 2, however.
* ThePowerOfLove: Her Berserk form is fueled by jealousy of those she thinks may steal Caulifla from her. [[spoiler:She gains a controlled Super Saiyan state when Caulifla puts everything on the line to protect her, and Kale is driven to do so in turn. Later, when she goes Berserk again, Caulifla telling Kale how important she is to her, that Kale is the only one who can fight by her side, drives Kale to fully control her full power into unlocking Super Saiyan 2.]]
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: Minutes after transforming into her Berserk state, the mentally unstable Kale offers a [[MythologyGag familiar threat]][[note]]See the Berserk Mode quote above for reference[[/note]] to Cabba with a [[PsychoticSmirk smirk]] before [[CurbStompBattle wailing down on him relentlessly]].
* ProphetEyes: Displays these in her Berserk form.
* TheQuietOne: She can hardly raise her voice due to being too shy. Least, when in her normal state.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In the Funimation dub, Berserker Kale mindlessly refers to Goku by various negative adjectives, expressing how much bottled-up disdain she projects onto him despite Goku being a complete stranger.
-->'''Kale:''' Goku the destroyer of lives...the ruiner...the arrogant...the parasite...the stubborn...the spineless...the vulnerable!
* RedIsViolent: Her crop-top, mini skirt, and boot ankles are colored in red. When she goes berserk, she doesn't hold back when it comes to beating down on her opponents.
* ReluctantWarrior: Before gaining some form of control over her latent Super Saiyan powers, Kale didn't feel capable enough to be an effective fighter, often downgrading herself as being a pathetic Saiyan.
* SatelliteCharacter: Most of Kale's interactions and motivations revolve around Caulifla, due to being the only person [[{{Dandere}} she's willing to work with]] on friendly terms. Without Caulifla to support her, Kale can slowly break down into a seemingly powerless state. Even when she becomes more confident, she is mostly just working with her sis.
* SayMyName:
** In the original [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseLanguage Japanese]], after transforming into her berserker form due to Goku and Caulifla fighting, she starts to call his name ad nauseum. It's the only thing she says, being blinded by rage.
--->'''Kale:''' Son Goku... Son Goku... '''Son Goku. Kill!'''
** In the Funimation dub, Berserker Kale's dialogue was slightly punched up, but she still repeatedly refers to Goku by name.
* ShonenHair: Her Berserk form's hairstyle is par for the course for her race's {{Super Mode}}s: exaggerated spiky, bushy [[PowerDyesYourHair yellow]] hair (with a unique green tint not unlike Broly).
* ShrinkingViolet: She is a shy girl, having difficulty with words. It's very clear her lack of confidence and self-worth because of this was a big factor in the stress that eventually caused her transformation. This is actually similar to a mentally subdued Broly's personality before turning into a Super Saiyan.
* SlipknotPonytail: Her ponytailed hair with bangs functions this way whenever she transforms into her Berserk form.
* SleepModeSize: Her Super Saiyan is a restrained version of her Berserk form, looking more like a moderately taller Olympic female athlete as opposed to the latter's towering weightlifter physique.
* StatuesqueStunner: Kale's Berserk form easily towers over most characters, like Cabba and Caulifla.[[note]]She is normally around the same height as the two.[[/note]], and Goku[[note]]Who normally towers over the Universe 6 Saiyans.[[/note]] While Caulifla was impressed by Kale's transformation, Cabba was more focused on staying alive against her new form. [[spoiler:When she finally fully masters her power in Episode 114, her bulked-up Berserk form metamorphoses into a near-identical appearance of her controlled form, only slightly taller and muscular, and her hair the same green as her Berserk state, as opposed to the green-tinged gold colour her Super Saiyan state had.]]
* TheStoic: In the manga, she shows little emotion and hides her true power in order to not ruin Caulifla's pride.
* SuperiorSuccessor: If she were to get control over her immense strength, she may surpass Caulifla. In episode 100, it's made clear that she's already way more powerful than Caulifla in her transformed state, as Caulifla was evenly matched with Super Saiyan 2 Goku, while Kale smacked around suppressed Super Saiyan Blue Goku. Her only real problem is her lack of long-term control of the form. As of Episode 114, [[spoiler:she manages to accomplish mastering her Berserk state, something that not even Broly could, or had the inclination, to do, but then gets beaten by Goku.]]
* SuperMode: An odd one for the series, but she can transform from a meek-looking girl into a Broly-like beast! [[spoiler:After she fully masters the Berserk form and irons out its anger issues she unlocks Super Saiyan 2, becoming less beastly and resembling a taller, more powerful green haired version of her Super Saiyan State.]]
* SuperPoweredEvilSide: In the anime, in her normal form Kale is a weakling who can barely fight. Her Berserk form is just as violent and powerful as Broly's Legendary Super Saiyan form. Cabba could barely survive and Caulifla had to bail him out. [[spoiler:She finally gets a grip on the form in episode 101, and as of episode 114, she manages to water out the negative effects on her body and mind and master the state, transforming it into a bona fide SuperMode.]] In the manga, this is even more prominent as [[spoiler:when Kale awakens as the Legendary Saiyan of her universe, she ends up knocking out most of her comrades, ultimately leaving only her, Cabba, and Kale to defend Universe 6.]]
* SuperStrength: In the manga, her Legendary Super Saiyan form is strong enough to lift Magetta and carry him in one arm, the same Magetta that not even SSJ Blue ''Vegeta'' can lift.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute:
** In ''SPADES'' A timid, quiet girl who hits a breaking point upon seeing something enraging and becomes an unstoppable monster is exactly like Broly. Specifically, the original version of Broly. Kale, upon transforming for the first time against Cabba, and then against Goku, served as a rather blatant copy of Z's Broly, performing the same moves, saying lines that the insane Saiyan said, and even having a transformation that was exactly like his. However, this is gradually subverted, Kale shows her own very distinct personality in both the anime and manga.
** As a non-threatening dark-haired girl who can change into a light-haired BloodKnight, she's the Saiyan equivalent to Lunch.
* TameHerAnger: Her Super Saiyan form is powerful but utterly uncontrollable due to the crazed fury it instills in her, so this is part of her learning to control it. [[spoiler:She starts to gain a measure of control in episode 101. As of Episode 114 she's mastered her berserker state and can now use its full capabilities without lapsing into an UnstoppableRage.]]
* TeachHerAnger: When she can't transform through a technical explanation like Caulifla, Caulifla decides to do it through anger by insulting her. That doesn't work, but her jealousy at Caulifla's perceived closeness to Cabba (and later Goku) does the trick.
* TemporaryBulkChange: [[spoiler:Once she gains control of her Super Saiyan form, she's able to deliberately bulk up to her Legendary form without losing control.]]
* ThemeNaming: Like all Saiyans, Kale is named after a vegetable.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's a demure, quiet girly girl to Caulifla (the gang leader who, until recently, was considered the WorldsGreatestWarrior as far as female, Universe 6 Saiyans go), and to [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis herself]] (when she's going Berserk, she's a female Broly in every sense, even having similarly incredible musculature).
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: After she gains access to a more controllable Super Saiyan form, and unlocking her version of Super Saiyan 2, she becomes much more cheerful and confident in herself.
* TorpedoTits: Kale's Berserk state is able to charge an explosive ball of Ki in-between her breasts. She uses this a counterattack against Cabba and Super Saiyan 2 Goku.
* UnderestimatingBadassery:
** Kale, even after displaying her monstrous strength as a Super Saiyan, was still marked as easy prey with Caulifla by Kahersal. She proved them wrong, big time, by ringing them out with Caulifla.
** Like Caulifla, Kale cannot sense God Ki, therefore she was unaware of what she was getting into when Goku when Super Saiyan God and even said that whether it was Blue or Red, it wouldn't matter as they were all the same. As she quickly finds out, they ''aren't'' the same as Goku goes from being on the ropes against Kale and Caulifla to toying around with them even whilst he's still recovering.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Caulifla. Kale has always been by her side since the day Caulifla rescued her when she was lost by a roadside and is eternally grateful.
* UnstoppableRage: She goes from meek and frightened girl to a crazed giant, trying to ''kill'' Cabba and Goku over her rage blowing jealousy of a perceived closeness with Caulifla out of proportion. However, even as her speech begins to deteriorate, she never deliberately attacks Caulifla in this state. To Kale's credit, she still did better than Caulifla and was able to deflect Goku's ki attack.
* UnskilledButStrong: When she goes Berserk, her fighting skills are sub-par as she shows during her fight with Goku. Goku can't really hurt her, but the reverse is also true and Goku is more bemused at her invulnerability than worried. Though she does force him back to his base form. This also comes into play in the manga, where the coordinated teamwork of Universe 11 nearly manages to ring her out, thanks to her movements being so easy to read.
* VagueAge: Much like Caulifla and Cabba, it's unknown how old Kale really is, though she seems to be around Caulifla's age, who Cabba seems to call "miss" either out of courtesy or because she really is older than him.
%%* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend
* VisualPun: Once she enters her Berserk mode due to jealousy, she is literally [[GreenEyedMonster green with envy.]]
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: She goes from a shy, timid girl to a raging violent monster after turning into her Berserk form.
* WolverinePublicity: She has received quite a lot of focus in both the new opening and promotional material, which isn't shocking considering Toei Animation knows about [[BreakoutVillain Broly's popularity]]. Add the fact she is also the first revealed female Super Saiyan in canon, and you get people's attention.
* TheWorfEffect: Gets defeated by [[spoiler:Jiren in the Tournament of Power very easily after easily overpowering a suppressed Super Saiyan Blue Goku, taking out a few members of the arena. However, Jiren doesn't eliminate her, merely knocking her out of her Berserk state]].
* WorldsStrongestWoman: In her transformed state, Kale is far more powerful than Caulifla. As they are the only two females representing Universe 6, Kale must be the most powerful female mortal in Universe 6 while in her transformed state.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Kale's Berserk state, in her initial tournament rampage, dragged Super Saiyan 2 Goku through a series of rocks by performing a lariat on him.
* {{Yandere}}: You can tell she's this when part of what triggers her Super Saiyan transformation is her jealousy upon seeing Cabba getting close to her beloved "Ane-Sama", Caulifla. Upon transforming, her first impulse is to, of course, try to [[MurderTheHypotenuse kill Cabba]]. The same happens to Goku when Caulifla seems a little too eager to keep fighting him. She seems to better control her clingy nature by the time she gains confidence in herself.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Caulifla is constantly trying to convince the shy and demure Kale that she is strong, but Kale doesn't think it's true (much to Caulifla's annoyance). The self-deprecating pressure Kale always has (exemplified by her quick breakdown for, initially, failing to acquire the Super Saiyan transformation) is part of why she transforms.
* YourSizeMayVary: Kale's Berserk state towers over most participants in the Tournament of Power, but by how much is rather inconsistent. Caulifla, as a comparison, can either be as high as Berserker Kale's waist in one scene, but suddenly have her hair tips reaching Kale's shoulders.

* VagueAge: Cabba's age is never said during the series, but he appears to be older than he looks.

dewicking Badass Baritone
Deleted line(s) 96 (click to see context) :
* BadassBaritone: PlayedWith. His Latin American voice actor has a deep voice, and Champa does have the menacing tone when being serious, but most of the time, he sounds too goofy to be taken seriously, [[ButtMonkey which is the point]].
Deleted line(s) 394 (click to see context) :
* BadassBaritone: He has a surprisingly deep voice when angry/serious, especially when factoring in his tiny frame. Though most of the time it is still soft and gentle, befitting the "sweet little brother" character type of his design.

* OffModel: In the anime, there is a inconsistency with Cabba's eyebrows. As you can see above, Cabba's eyebrows inexplicably grow once he turns Super Saiyan, which shouldn't happen. The manga doesn't have this inconsistency.

** Her relation with Kale is the complete opposite of Goku and Broly, however. While Broly hated Kakarot with a burning passion over simplistic motives, Kale adores Caulifla as her big sis, to overprotective terms. While Goku never gave Broly a thought, Caulifla also loves her, thinking of her as her protegee, [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre and trying to make her know she is better than she thinks.]] Goku was a trigger to Broly's UnstoppableRage, while Caulifla is the opposite to Kale, calming her down from her transformation (and Kale never tries to attack Caulifla while transformed).

*** However, her relationship with Kale can fairly be compared to the one Goku shares with the canonical version of Broly nowadays. Broly considers Goku a good friend and training partner, similar to Kale and Caulifla. Also Goku now cares about Broly and, although not as overprotective as Caulifla is of Kale, he does want to protect Broly from people like Freezer after what happened when they met. Also Goku is training Broly to control his powers similar to how Caulifa trained Kale. And by the time of "Super Hero", Broly has been shown to get emotional at seeing Goku fight which could mean he's getting more attached to Goku the more time they spend together, which mean they could eventually share a bond as strong as Caulifla and Kale have.
