Biography

Dragon Ball Super

Universe Survival Saga

• Tupper is among the Pride Troopers selected to represent Universe 11.
• Early in the tournament, he clashes with Obni before teaming up with Kahseral, Zoire, Kettol, and Cocotte to fight Goku, Caulifla, and Kale.
• Utilizing his Petrified form, Tupper locks Goku in a crushing grip, making him vulnerable to Zoire's attacks. He increases his weight to pressure Goku further but is interrupted by Android 18, who blasts him from behind.
• Teaming up with Zoire, Tupper performs the Double Pride Spin, targeting Android 18. However, she counters by lifting him overhead and hurling him toward the edge of the arena.
• Despite halting his fall, Tupper's immense weight cracks the arena, causing him to fall out of bounds.

After all members of Universe 11 are defeated, Tupper is erased along with his universe by the Omni-Kings. He is later revived when Android 17 uses the Super Dragon Balls to restore all erased universes.

Trivia
