Ready for this new ultimate guide? In this case, let's head to Universe 11! ⛵
APPEARANCE: WHAT DOES TOPPO LOOK LIKE?
Toppo is a very tall and strong character. It is a humanoid whose skin is curiously brown-yellow in color. Its eyes are yellow and are darkened by small dark lines on the underside. It's impossible not to mention his imposing white mustache, which covers his mouth. His bald head is marked by two imposing veins. 🏋️♂️
Overall, his body is quite disproportionate . For example, his legs are shorter, compared to his arms which are very long. He is generally muscular, while having a protruding stomach. 😅
As for his equipment, Toppo wears the Pride Troopers kit . It is red and black in color, quite close to the body. The boots and gloves are white.
PERSONALITY: TOPPO, A RIGHTEOUS WARRIOR
If we had to define Toppo in one word, it would be “justice” .
He has great respect for the gods. We see this very well in Dragon Ball Super , during the first small tournament organized by King Zeno. At the moment when Big Boo accidentally sends an attack towards the stand of the gods. Taking this act as a real affront, he immediately asks to face Goku in the arena, firmly believing that he is the incarnation of evil . 🤼♀️
Most of his fighting techniques are based on justice. For example, he masters certain abilities like the Flash of Justice. Most other Pride Troopers share this trait.
As we saw previously, Toppo is the commander of the Pride Troopers . However, he is very respectful towards his comrades with a lower rank. He also shows himself to be humble by recognizing that he is not the strongest in his Universe. He recognizes that Jiren the Gray is much more powerful. 💪
However, despite all these qualities, Toppo can lose his cool when he gets angry. When he is stressed, he happily takes a drink at a bar to calm down.
He sincerely thinks that King Zeno is being cruel by organizing such a tournament. Such a thing goes against its values and principles. Let's recall the context, several universes must take part in a "Battle Royale" tournament where the losers will be wiped out. 💥
Toppo can throw verbal barbs when the opportunity arises. For example, he makes fun of Gohan and C17 during the tournament. Furthermore, when he takes Vegeta as an opponent, he replies that he is the second in Universe 7, just like him with Universe 11. Obviously, this annoys Vegeta very much. 🤬
He has a great sense of honor. He likes to play fair and be fair . He strongly criticizes the action of C17, when he literally explodes a wave of energy on Brianne de Château, Su Roas and Sanka Ku, at the moment of their transformation. Indeed, just like the Pride Troopers, the little trio had a warrior pose to achieve. It is important to respect the choreography until the end. ☝
Brianne thanks him for being so understanding. Remember, universes 11 and 2 form a pair, just like universe 7 with universe 6. This is most likely why the two place so much importance on this kind of team choreography.
How can we talk about Toppo's personality without mentioning his balanced, rational, analytical, intelligent and serious temperament? All of these qualities come out during the Universe Survival Tournament. He manages to analyze Hit and recognize him as having incredible talents. 👏
Regarding his negative sides, Toppo can sometimes show signs of frustration, animosity and despair when under pressure. We see this perfectly clearly when K'nsi is disqualified from the tournament. Also, when his team is reduced to three with him, Jiren and Dyspo. When the pressure and the stakes became too great, Toppo decided that only the survival of his universe mattered. He thus renounces his values and becomes a candidate for the position of God of Destruction. The fact of abandoning one's beliefs is very objectionable, Vegeta does not fail to remind him of this. It is this mistake that will earn him his elimination and he will lose Jiren's respect for having done this. Toppo admits that he acted badly afterwards. 😯
While serving as God of Destruction, Toppo's personality changes and becomes darker . The principle of justice is no longer present. It is necessary to wait for its elimination so that it regains its original character. He encourages Jiren all the way, especially during the most difficult times. At the end, he congratulates him on his fight and later, a bond of friendship will be created between the two characters. 👍
TOPPO BIOGRAPHY
THE ZENO EXPO TOURNAMENT
Toppo first appears at the beginning of the Universe Survival Saga. He is the mysterious hooded bodyguard of Vermoud and his Kaio Shin, Marcarita .
In the anime, he is therefore present at the time of the exhibition fight organized by Zeno. We see him deflect a lost attack towards his platform. He retorts that doing so is extremely rude. He decides to challenge Goku at the end of the tournament because he is convinced that the Saiyan is an evil being . Remember, everyone blames Goku for being responsible for organizing the tournament. He therefore faces Kakarot in the arena. 🤼♀️
Toppo puts Goku in difficulty thanks to his mastery of armlocks and crushing . When he traps the saiyan with his arms, he is convinced that he has won the battle. However, the latter transforms into Super Saiyan Blue and manages to free himself. Toppo is not discouraged, he stands up to Goku and takes a super kamehameha. Furious to see his uniform damaged, he rages and prepares to counterattack. Goku goes into Maximum Kaioken , but the High Priest decides to end the match. Kakarot thanks Toppo for this interesting battle. However, the fighter from Universe 11 looks down on him and tells him that he will never be able to defeat a warrior named Jiren, who is much stronger than him. 🦾
Back in his world, he relaxes in a bar. Toppo seems terribly worried about what happens next, he realizes how likely his world is to be destroyed. His general, Kahseral , arrives, who asks him for news. The latter observes that Toppo seems dejected. Their conversation is interrupted because Dyspo needs help. So they come to help him. The commander of the Pride Troopers therefore decides to recruit his team for the tournament. He gets Kahseral's acceptance. 👍
He also recruits Jiren the Gray , the most powerful mortal in Universe 11, whose power surpasses that of his god of destruction.
THE TOURNAMENT OF POWER
Time to fight! Universe 11 deploys the Pride Troopers into the field. Toppo faces several opponents from other universes.
Later, when C17 attacks Brianne during her choreography, Toppo becomes enraged at the cyborg. He hates rudeness and thinks poses are important. Afterwards, he observes Dyspo fighting Hit. The warrior from universe 6 manages to send him off the field, but he is saved at the last minute by a partner. 👌
Toppo witnesses the first clash between Goku and Jiren . He will want to stay with his partner afterwards, in order to ensure victory. Indeed, Jiren, Toppo and Dyspo will quickly become the last three fighters of Universe 11. This is why they decide to stand back and wait for the other fighters to kill each other. 💀
Later, Toppo challenges Vegeta as he is aware that they are both number 2 in their respective universes. This obviously enrages the prince of the saiyans. This clash will be interrupted by Kale's transformation into a legendary super saiyan . The fight between Goku and Kefla later will also have the effect of disturbing him in his clashes.
Toppo is almost knocked out of the ring but Dyspo saves him. Then, he resumes his fight against Vegeta. The prince of saiyans will use the strength of acceptance of his deep identity, as well as a good dose of anger to reach the form of the ultimate blue super saiyan . ✨
TOPPO, CANDIDATE FOR THE POSITION OF GOD OF DESTRUCTION
Powerless and feeling his world in danger. Toppo decides to give up his vigilante nature to become a candidate for the position of God of Destruction. This will earn him a lot of criticism from Vegeta and Jiren .
However, Toppo gains absolutely phenomenal strength. He can now use the powers specific to those of the gods of destruction. He surrounds himself with a purple aura, capable of destroying anything that touches him in close combat. He wins the duels against C17 and Golden Frieza without much difficulty. These will also disappear for a while. 💥
Toppo is clearly becoming a major threat in the tournament. In this form, nothing seems to be able to stop him. He uses spheres of destructive energy , capable of devastating any obstacle. Vegeta is in big trouble despite his ultimate form. Totally powerless against this extraordinary opponent, whose power almost rivals that of a god of destruction, the prince of the saiyans then makes a decisive choice in the tournament. Vegeta charges an attack similar to the one he did before against Big Boo, in order to explode everything in a nearby radius. Most spectators think at this moment that he decides to sacrifice himself. The attack generates an absolutely phenomenal explosion of blue light and destroys part of the arena. Toppo can't take it and falls off the surface . Once on the sidelines, he returns to his normal form and will have to watch Jiren fight. 👀
THE END OF TOPPO
The tournament continues and Vegeta is quickly eliminated by Jiren . The prince of the saiyans has absolutely no available energy following his attack on Toppo. Jiren will therefore face Goku in 1vs1, since C17 and Frieza are still missing. 🤕
Goku masters ultra instinct and begins to significantly weaken Jiren. Although the Saiyan suffers the side effects of this transformation, giving Jiren the opportunity to regain the upper hand, the champion of Universe 11 is considerably weakened by this fight. 😵
Son Goku will be saved by C17 and Frieza , who will resurface. The two fighters take advantage of Jiren's weakness to attack him strategically. C17 manages to trap him and inflicts a devastating explosion. Once on the ground, Jiren seems to resolve to defeat. It is thanks to Toppo's encouragement that he will be able to get up and unleash his rage. Until the end, Toppo will support his friend Jiren . 💪
However, the outcome of the fight is in favor of Universe 7. The Goku-Frieza duo manages to triumph over Jiren. Universe 11, including Toppo, is therefore wiped out in accordance with the tournament rules. 💥
The entire Universe 11 is wiped out following Jiren's defeat.
THE RESURRECTION OF TOPPO
Much like Jiren and all of Universe 11, C17's wish allows for the resurrection of all Losing Universes . Toppo therefore talks with Jiren and explains to him that finally a bond of friendship has been created between the two fighters. Indeed, due to his past Jiren the Gray has always been incapable of establishing a relationship of trust with his allies. However, the tournament obviously taught him some things! 😀
Toppo tells Jiren that next time, Universe 11 will be victorious over Universe 7!
We look forward to the rest of the story! What role will Toppo play? We still have to wait to find out! 😢
HOW POWERFUL IS TOPPO?
Toppo is number 2 in his universe, after Jiren. In other words, it is very powerful. It is for this very reason that this mortal was able to become a candidate for the position of god of destruction. He plays the role of bodyguard to his gods Bermod and Khai. He seriously puts Goku in difficulty during his fight against him. Although he has a tall height and a somewhat irregular build, he is very fast and brutal. He excels in the art of self-defense and immobilization holds . He attacks the joints, performing arm locks for example. He can also withstand big explosions thanks to his size. 💥
In the anime, he easily surpasses Son Goku's super saiyan form. Sure enough, he almost crushes him to death. Goku is forced to go Super Saiyan Blue in order to free himself from the embrace . Both fighters then go all out, transforming into their most powerful forms. The match will unfortunately be stopped before the two warriors can fight at full strength. We still imagine that Goku would have triumphed since he is number 1 in universe 7. 🥇
In the manga, Toppo uses deadly ki so he can block Son Goku's attacks with ease. Once Goku uses his divine form, Toppo activates his divine ki in order to equalize him . Following their confrontation, Toppo recognizes the power of the saiyan and thinks that indeed, he might not have been able to defeat him.
Toppo is recognized as the commander of the Pride Troopers , despite Jiren being number 1. During the Tournament of Power, he manages to track Dyspo and Hit's movements. He also knocks Cabba down with his Justice Punch technique. However, he cannot cope with the ultra instinct and cannot follow the fight between Goku and Jiren. Toppo later confronts Vegeta in his Ultimate Blue form and loses the fight. Of the two number 2s, Vegeta is therefore better. 👊
In the manga, it's closer because Toppo is almost even with Vegeta. He is knocked out of the ring by Kale in ultimate form with a single punch. However, he is saved by Dyspo thanks to his speed.
In the anime, Toppo puts Ultimate Gohan and C17 on difficulty simultaneously. He literally lifts the ground around him. Toppo suffers a powerful Kamehameha from Gohan. He puts an armlock on C17 and dislocates his shoulder. The cyborg manages to trap him in a shield, while Gohan launches a ki attack to get them out of the arena. He manages to free himself at the last minute. Toppo almost knocked C17 out of the ring by landing a ki attack. Frieza saves his partner on this one. Toppo is in trouble against C17 and Golden Frieza. 🤨
The moment he becomes God of Destruction , he gains considerably in power. So much so that Son Goku, Vegeta and Jiren stop their fight in order to observe the situation. A single ball of destructive energy is capable of putting Frieza in serious trouble. This attack also destroys a good part of the arena. Toppo also surrounds himself with destructive energy so nothing can touch him. Indeed, it is extremely dangerous to attack him in close combat in this form. Toppo dominates a good part of the fighters of Universe 7 , it took Vegeta's ultimate attack to put him out of harm's way. Following this, the prince of the saiyans is drained of his energy and can no longer do anything. In fact, you could say he and Toppo eliminated each other. 💥
