Time Release is a killing technique utilized by Hit via the Tides of Time.

Overview

Whilst in the Tides of Time, Hit delivers a blow, firing off a purple energy blast, he then deactivates the Tides of Time at the right moment so that his attack will hit his foe.

Thanks to traveling through his stored time dimension, the move can also phase through solid objects and be controlled in location to hit in all directions. The blast appears invisible to the real world but is visible in Hit's Tides of Time, and as such becomes visible when it leaves the Tides of Time. Even Goku was not able to react to the attack when it was first used on him and each time afterwards, he's shown having to close his eyes and showcase absolute concentration with his energy sensing and visualization to be able to counter it when it appeared.

The attack can also be used non-lethally as well if used correctly.

Usage

Hit used this attack a number of times in his fight with Goku when Goku hired Hit to kill him to fight him at full power to improve Goku's skill for the tournament. This move will cause the opponent's heart area to become crushed in by the attack killing them. Goku is killed by this move once but is brought back to life. During the Tournament of Power, Hit used this technique against K'nsi by crushing his ribs. Later, Hit uses this attack against Jiren but was blocked by the Pride Trooper.

Variations

• Time Prison - Hit's last resort attack where he can freeze anyone or anything in time.

In FighterZ, it is named Time Release and is activated under Hit's Tides of Time stance, by hitting the light attack button during the stance. He unleashes three shockwaves at the opponent's location. A stronger version, called Death Blow, is one of Hit's Supers.

In Dragon Ball Legends, it is named Assassin Strike where it appears as the Special Move Arts for Hit (DBL15-08S) and Hit (DBL25-06E). Additionally Hit (DBL15-08S) can teach it to Shallot (DBL00-01) after reaching Friendship Rank 2.

In World Mission, it is named Ultimate Time Skip and is the Super Attack for Hit's SH4-36 card. It costs 7 Hero Energy to use unless certain abilities or certain effects allow the user to use it regardless of Hero Energy. It can be learned by all Berserker type Hero Avatars after raising Hit's Camaraderie to Lvl 4. The user fires it into the battle space (either in the game world or real world) from the safety of Tides of Time.
