Frit

Frit is the slash ship between Hit and Frost from the Dragon Ball fandom.

Canon
Hit and Frost are canonical teammates in the Dragon Ball Super anime. They are both aware of each other's abilities and have interacted more than one time. Neither regard each other as friends, but have reached a truce when the time called for them to work together for the greater good of their universe.

Frost naturally fears Hit because of their differences in power and due to Hit's reputation, whilst Hit views Frost with neutral opinion because he is an assassin. However, in episode 91 of DBS, Hit expresses fond acknowledgment towards Frost's abilities, claiming he has "Gotten Better" and that being on the run as a criminal has strengthened his spirit during a scene where he recruits him for the Tournament of Power.

In Dragon Ball Super, there are at least 2 specific interactions Hit and Frost have. While other moments involve seeing them together briefly in shots, the two do share plot points. For instance, in episode 35, Frost is seen attempting thievery of his God of Destruction's, Champa's, transportation cube and prize money for his tournament. However, before he can get away with his scheme, he's prevented by Hit coming into scene and putting a stop to him. Frost acknowledges who Hit is and is aware that Hit must be there due to a request from an anonymous source who holds resentment towards Frost for his criminal reputation. However, this is not the case, unknown to Frost himself. Without speaking, Hit strikes Frost down with ease, before he can be seen carrying him away to watch over his unconscious body with Champa and the rest of their tournament team.

In episode 91, there is another Hit and Frost focused scene that takes place in the final saga of the series. It starts with Frost being seen hiding in the rain inside of a darkened alleyway to evade police. Soon afterwards, Frost detects a presence near to him and sees Hit show up in the distance further down the alleyway. His arrival frightens Frost, and he instinctively gets into a defensive manner. Frost seeks mercy and bows to Hit at his own feet, and even goes as far as to accept his assumed death, believing Hit can only be there to take his life. However, before Hit can make any responses, Frost attempts to attack him by surprise using a poisoned needle on his tail. His fighting fails quickly, though, when Hit grabs hold of his tail. Upon his defeat, Frost makes no further attempts to beg, but he does curse to himself with disappointment. Just then, Hit lets go of him, which catches Frost by surprise. Hit proceeds to smile and compliment his growing skills, and claims that being on the run has heightened his spirit. Frost questions why Hit did not kill him, and Hit proceeds to explain his reason for being there is because of a new tournament being hosted by their Gods. Hit states that Frost's "tenacity to live" will be useful due to the high stakes of the tournament. Frost processes this news with curiosity, and accepts his offer, claiming it will give him the chance to "redeem" his honor. Hit proceeds to explain the rules of the tournament, causing Frost to remove the needle from his tail, before Hit encourages Frost to come with him. The scene ends with one more remark from Hit, who tells Frost to remove the poisoned needle from his heel as well. This amuses Frost, who smiles knowing that Hit was keen enough to notice his hidden weapon.

Fanon
Frit is a rare pairing among the fandom of Dragon Ball Super. It grew gradually upon the introduction of Hit and Frost from February 21, 2016 and onwards, striking great interest from fans due to their dynamic as an assassin and a criminal. Its fans were most prominent on Tumblr, sparking many fanfictions and fanarts.

Popular depictions and concepts of the pair often revolve around the idea of Hit taking Frost in and nursing him back to health after being on the run, and other ideas focus on Hit becoming Frost's teacher who helps him redeem himself. Additional ideas focus on Frost falling for Hit and attempting to swoon him and break through his tough demeanor, or Hit falling for Frost and attempting to earn his trust and ease his fears of him.

Despite their canonical hostilities, the fandom depicts them as a very loving, healthy, and supportive couple. Hit is seen as the powerful, strong partner who's really a gentle lover on the inside, whilst Frost is occasionally seen as the smart, sneaky, and sassy partner who is misunderstood. Alternative depictions of their dynamic is Hit being the calmer, wiser partner who keeps Frost in line, while Frost is the chaotic, mischievous partner who likes to get under Hit's skin (either affectionately or for his own amusement).

Angst, Enemies to Lovers, and Hurt & Comfort are a few favored genres for Frit due to their experiences and relationship in canon. For example, a popular plot line among Frit shippers is Frost fearing Hit and worrying that Hit may have plans to take his life. But, it turns out Hit has no intentions to hurt Frost, and that Frost is the one contract he could never take on his assassination jobs because he secretly feels attracted to him (Which is a headcanon for why Frost remains alive in Dragon Ball Super despite Hit knowing fully well who he is). Therefore, Hit provides comfort and reassurance towards Frost, which depending on the fanfiction or concept, is either gradually developed or instant based on how easily Frost trusts him.
