Biography[edit | edit source]
Dragon Ball Super[edit | edit source]
Universal Survival Saga[edit | edit source]
Kettle is among the elite Pride Troopers selected to represent Universe 11 in the Tournament of Power.
Early Battles: Kettle initially engages Shosa in combat but soon shifts his focus to other opponents as the tournament progresses.
Facing Kale and Caulifla: After Kale's destructive rampage in her Legendary Super Saiyan form is subdued by Jiren, Kettle regroups with Kahseral, Zoire, Tupper, and Cocotte. Together, they confront Goku, Caulifla, and Kale, announcing their intention to avenge their fallen comrade, Vewon.
Kettle takes on Caulifla, utilizing his Guided Rapid Fire Energy Ball technique. While Caulifla evades the attacks initially, she sustains injuries as the battle intensifies. Cocotte creates her Cocotte Zone Max, isolating the combatants from outside interference.
Clash of Powers: When Kale transforms into a new controlled version of her Super Saiyan form, she shatters the Pride Troopers' strategy. In a desperate counterattack, Kettle and his allies unleash the United Justice Stream. This is met with the Saiyans' Gigantic Blast. Although the Justice Stream initially overpowers the Saiyans, Kale regains her Legendary Super Saiyan form and, under control, overwhelms the combined Pride Trooper attack. As a result, Kettle, Kahseral, and Zoire are blasted out of the arena and eliminated.
After Universe 11's defeat, Kettle is erased alongside his teammates and the rest of his universe by the Zenos. However, he is later resurrected along with all the other erased universes when Android 17 uses the Super Dragon Balls to restore them.

Attacks and Techniques[edit | edit source]
- Fighting Pose: Kettol showcases his Pride Trooper spirit through his signature Justice Pose, an expression of his team's dedication to justice.
- Ki Blast: A basic and widely-used energy attack. Kettol employs this technique during battles in the anime.
- Guided Rapid Fire Energy Ball: One of Kettol's signature techniques. He creates multiple energy spheres in his surroundings without making visible movements. These orbs can hover in the air, allowing Kettol to surprise opponents by surrounding them. He can then manipulate the spheres to attack from multiple directions or produce more during the assault. This move highlights his strategic prowess and adaptability in combat.
- United Justice Stream: A team-based ultimate attack. In coordination with three other Pride Troopers, Kettol contributes a blue energy sphere, which is charged while striking a Justice Pose. Each team member fires an energy wave, and the combined energy forms a powerful, red wave. This collaborative move demonstrates the Pride Troopers' unity and effectiveness in synchronized combat.
- Formation B: A strategic battle formation devised by Kahseral in the manga, intended to include Kettol alongside Vewon, K'nsi, Zoire, and Cocotte. Kettle's role mirrored the one originally designed for Tupper. However, the group was defeated before they could execute the formation.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Kettol's name is derived from Kettle, a kitchen appliance used to heat water.
