Hit’s Origins and Code as an Assassin

Hit’s exact origins are unknown, but he has spent over a thousand years mastering the art of assassination. Unlike typical fighters, Hit does not fight for fun—he only battles to eliminate his targets with maximum efficiency.

Hit’s Code of Honor

  • He only takes jobs that align with his principles.
  • He never kills unnecessarily.
  • He is loyal to contracts and always completes his mission.
  • Despite being an assassin, he respects worthy opponents.

Hit was recruited by Champa (Universe 6’s God of Destruction) for the Tournament of Destroyers, where he faced Goku and Vegeta for the first time. Their battle forced him to adapt and grow, leading him to rethink his approach to combat.

Hit’s Philosophy: The Assassin Who Evolved

Hit began as a cold and efficient killer, but his encounters with Goku changed him.

Before Meeting Goku:

  • Hit only cared about efficiency and completing his missions.
  • He had no interest in battles outside of his assassinations.
  • He believed that fighting for fun was a waste of time.

After Fighting Goku:

Despite this change, Hit remains a warrior of logic and precision, always looking for the most efficient way to win.
