Napapa - Dragon Ball Super -
The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week. This week we're taking a closer look at the porky pink wrestler Napapa from Dragon Ball Super!
Story
Napapa is a sumo wrestler-like fighter who dishes out powerful open palm strikes. He enters the Tournament of Power as a representative of Universe 10.
(Dragon Ball Super Chapter 33)
Catching a ride on his fellow Universe 10 fighter Zium, Napapa launches a surprise attack on Piccolo from above. He shouts "Napapapapa!!!" as he launches a powerful strike, but Piccolo dodges out of the way.
(Dragon Ball Super Chapter 36)
Piccolo evades strike after furious strike and counters with a solid punch, knocking Napapa down.

Along with two of the other Universe 10 fighters, Zium and Mechiorp, Napapa is launched out of the arena by Android 17.

Trivia
Are there no rules for sumo wrestlers in Universe 10?!
When Napapa launches a surprise attack, Piccolo snidely remarks, "A sneak attack? I take it the sumo wrestlers in your universe haven't heard of dignity or honor."
