The Pride Troopers (プライドトルーパーズ Puraido Torūpāsu) are a very powerful hero team who operate in Universe 11. They are led by Toppo.[1] The Pride Troopers work under their God of Destruction Belmod,[2] and thus can be classified as agents of destruction.
The most elite Pride Troopers made up Team Universe 11 during the Tournament of Power.
Description

Trivia
- The Pride Troopers uniform is a red and black colored spandex. Likewise, their members seem to also have a red aura.
- They are like a good counterpart to the Ginyu Force, being a team of superheroes inspired by super sentai teams.
- The Tournament of Power heavily reinforces this reference. When the entire team posed, this caused a multicolored explosion behind them, a common trope in the super sentai genre.
- When the episode "The Impending Warriors of Justice! The Pride Troopers!!" was aired in Japan, "Ginyu Force" became a trending topic more than "Dragon Ball Super" on Twitter in Japanese as audiences clearly associated Ginyu Force and Pride Troopers.
- They are named after kitchen tools.
- The name of Planet Netfiss, one of the team's bases, seemingly comes from fitness.
