* The reason for her ascension was simple, given her fighting style is [[KickChick mostly kick based]] and how brutal she can get using her legs, she was given the title of crushing legs, which she is proficient enough to crush her enemies heads to a pulp and even literally tear folks apart. She was initially dissapointed she wasn't given a position in the House of Pantheon/{{War}} but she wasn't really complaining either and she gets to spend time with her daughter and catch up with Johnny on some "unfinished business".

* Opposes: [[Pantheon/CrueltyAndSadism Ali Al-Saachez]], [[Pantheon/NationalMentalities Zoran Lazarević]], [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} Millennium]], most of the House of Pantheon/{{War}} (especially the more aggressive humans)

* Work as a military advisor and a general to special forces in the GUAG, fully suported by Raiden and endorsed by Cosmos herself. She gets along with several other generals in the House of Pantheon/{{War}} given her position but many have also found her to be too stern and stubborn to negotiate certain conditions. But they do respect her commanding authority nonetheless.

* According to a [[WebVideo/MortalKombatLegacy certain event]], he used to be a ''Power Ranger''. [[Pantheon/TokuBase Len]] (although a Kamen Rider) is not pleased.

* Being something of an old-school space cowboy, he can sometimes be seen among the ''Bebop'' crew. No one's exactly sure what to make of that, although Spike Spiegel has been wondering if Hit would be willing to help when he and the crew finally goes after Vilgax. This camaraderie would overlap with Shiroe's research into the Time Skip anomaly when the latter discovered that the registration file on Jet Black's ascension petition had been tampered with by the malevolent cheating AI Love Machine, with Jet's avatar being one of the '''many''' points of data Love Machine had stolen to power itself up. Pointing Hit in the direction of the machine, Shiroe was able to somehow log Hit into cyberspace to take on Love Machine, as well as figured out an exploit that allowed the Time Skip to strip data from the AI unprotected, releasing it all back to its proper locations. Despite this, Jet did not appear in the Pantheon in the aftermath of the incident, causing the crew to give up anticipating his arrival after two weeks. He came after two months and got lambasted by the crew for taking so long, though he didn't forget to grab a beer for Hit as thanks.

* The Legendary Assassin of Universe 6 has never missed a target. Everyone he has ever run up against or been sicced upon has been killed quickly. At least until he entered a tournament set up between two Gods of Destruction. The rules forbade killing in that match, plus he met Son Goku and Vegeta. While he trounced the worn out and overly proud and analytical Prince of Saiyans, Goku gave him a much better fight due to being fresher and more instinctive as well as having a [[NextTierPowerUp trump card]]. That said, they both earned differing measures of his respect.

* After watching him and Super Saiyan Blue Goku fight on more or less equal terms via [=GodTube=], Zamasu promptly condemned him because he's a paid killer traversing on divine tiers of power. Hit's retort?
--> '''Hit:''' I only kill those who someone wants dead enough to make my pay grade or who challenge me to kill them themselves. You're out to kill everyone else for not being you. You're supposed to be a creator, but I'm the one who actually values my universe. Plus I improve myself through my own skill, whereas you resort to stealing Goku's form for increased power. Pretty crude and lowly for a god.
** Many others wonder how effective Present Zamasu would have been if he took his body instead of Goku's, or if Goku Black ever fought him in the future timeline. Hit chooses not to entertain such ideas.
* Envy tried to recruit Hit to High Command using his supposed jealousy towards Goku and desire to kill him. Hit corrected that scoop quickly, informing the homunculus that he respects Goku and wants to beat him at his best before killing Envy several times over. He considers this a MercyKill for the about 100 souls he freed from Envy that day.
** Esdeath and Starrk both expressed interest in fighting him as well. He took on both of them at once, and though he had the upper hand more often than not, they managed to survive his time skipping tactics by working together and using most of their arsenal, including Starrk's Resureccion. While intrigued by both fighters, he refused Esdeath's invitation to join either the Jeagers or High Command. Both look forward to fighting Hit again. Esdeath hopes to kill him someday.

* Was pointed in the directions of Hinata and Ty Lee by those who've noted their graceful movements and skills at attacking pressure points. Is actually proud of them both for making something of themselves both on and off the battlefield. As a token of respect to Hinata he's even taken on the Hyuga Clan as his followers, with Neji in particular serving as High Priest. During his visit to Ty Lee, she expressed surprise that he ended up with his title instead of Kenshiro gaining it. Because of this, Hit finally decided to pay a visit to the 64th Successor of Hokuto Shinken.
** The avenger and the assassin took turns hitting each other with pressure point attacks, and ended up having to escalate the strengths of their hits in order for either man to truly feel it. Before they could begin to actively spar with each other, a small army of Meta-Coolers were breaking into the House of Emotion. Hit and Kenshiro decided to take them all on, finally getting to see each other's killing techniques in action.
** It turned out they missed one Meta-Cooler, who turned out to be the true Metal Cooler and used the distraction to go in alone after Vegeta. The Prince of Saiyans told them both to stay out of his fight. As they both walked away, Hit declared that he would accept no time limits or interference if someone hired him to kill Kenshiro. Ken in turn vowed he will have ManlyTears for Hit when that day comes.
* Aside from the above incident, Cooler has expressed honest interest in a real match with Hit, seeing many similarities between the two, especially in how their methods contrast from Freeza. While Hit is somewhat interested as well, he knows not to trust that it will be a fair match, given how Cooler is still a galactic conqueror who becomes bitter at the thought of defeat much like his brother and Frost.
* He's also [[VideoGame/DragonBallFighterZ previously met Frieza]], though was under the impression Frieza used poison needles like Frost does. The tyrant actually promised to make him wish for death. Their first battles with Goku went very similarly as well, so hearing that [[spoiler:Frieza actually respects Goku underneath all his evil and hatred]] comes as no surprise to the Assassin.
* Compared to Universe 7's Frost Demons he gets along much better with his world's imperial changeling, whose EngineeredHeroics do at least have a few [[AdaptationalHeroism genuine events peppered in]] prior to his fall from grace, and who he's teamed up with twice on behalf of Universe 6. Still doesn't trust Frost much, though.
* His desire for a powerful challenge is akin to Saitama's. They ran into each other and fought once, but not much was seen beyond [[https://youtu.be/CtJqdRbwSMI Hit trouncing Saitama with punches to the head]] (though it was very clear they were both horsing around at that point). What happened after the fight got serious? Who knows? Both men expressed that they'd like a rematch, though.
* Will ''very'' occasionally hang around fellow merc Deadpool. His quiet wisdom tends to counterbalance Wade's comically insane mouth, with several memorable moments already.
** Given his appearance in the Universe 6 Saga segment of the ''DBS'' opening, Deadpool has wondered aloud what he knows about the FourthWall. Hit refuses to say a word.
** [[UnfortunateCharacterDesign Because of the odd shape of his cranium]], Wade has taken to calling him Dickhead. He's told the Merc to nip that joke in the bud. Repeatedly. DP only relented on this upon seeing Hit beat Terumi within an inch of his life in virtually the blink of an eye for mocking the shape of his head.
** At one point while the two sparred, Deadpool suddenly called out "[[VideoGame/DragonBallFighterZ This is the Stance!]]" and fired off a barrage of [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 energy-bullet gunshots and flash-step Katana strikes]], Hit blocking or dodging every single one. Taskmaster suddenly showed up during this and said, "No, ''this'' is the Stance!" before targeting Wade with a similar assault but quicker. DP lost an arm and gained many holes in his chest and ribs, but survived to regenerate from the assault. Then Hit corrected course.

** Cue Taskmaster being knocked straight unconscious by a Molotov of punches he didn't see coming.

* Lady Shiva once came after Hit to send a message to Ezio and the other ascended assassins. While his powers ultimately left her outmatched, he took fast notice of her pure skill, as it was among the best he'd ever seen. She won't be rolling over and letting him take all her jobs.
* Being something of an old-school space cowboy, he can sometimes be seen among the Bebop crew. No one's exactly sure what to make of that.
* Some gods in the Pantheon mistakenly believe Hit is a mentor figure to the Universe 6 Saiyans. While the Saiyans (especially Caulifla) have great admiration for Hit, Cabba keeps his distance, as Hit [[WildCard could be paid any day to kill the]] King of the Saiyans.
* [[https://youtu.be/nl5oPFDP8j8 His Time-Skip is even more ridiculous online.]] This infuriates Vegeta. Shiroe is trying to figure out how this works, or if it could be exploited somehow.

* Shiroe's research into the Time Skip anomaly as well as Hit's friendship with the Bebop cowboys would overlap together when Shiroe discovered that the registration file on Jet Black's ascension petition had been tampered with by the malevolent cheating AI Love Machine, with Jet's avatar being one of the '''many''' points of data Love Machine had stolen to power itself up. Pointing Hit in the direction of the machine, Shiroe was able to somehow log Hit into cyberspace to take on Love Machine, as well as figured out an exploit that allowed the Time Skip to strip data from the AI unprotected, releasing it all back to its proper locations. Despite this, Jet did not appear in the Pantheon in the aftermath of the incident, causing the crew to give up anticipating his arrival after two weeks.
