Bergamo is the eldest and most powerful of the three brothers known as the Trio of Danger from Universe 9. Nicknamed "Bergamo the Crusher," he possesses the unique ability to grow stronger and larger by absorbing the energy of his opponents' attacks.
Bergamo served as the leader of the Trio of Danger and captain of Team Universe 9. During the exhibition match held before the Tournament of Power, he was selected to represent Universe 9 against Goku. In a bold move, Bergamo publicly addressed both Zeno and the Grand Minister, requesting that if he won, the multiverse erasure plan should be called off.
His signature ability allows him to absorb the energy from incoming attacks, converting the damage into increased size and strength. During his exhibition fight against Goku, Bergamo grew to enormous proportions as Goku escalated through his transformations, culminating in Super Saiyan Blue. However, the sheer output of Goku's Kamehameha at full power overwhelmed Bergamo's absorption capacity, defeating him decisively.
Despite his loss, Bergamo demonstrated genuine honor and care for his brothers Basil and Lavender. Unlike many antagonists, the Trio of Danger's bond was authentic. All three were ultimately erased when Universe 9 became the first universe eliminated in the Tournament of Power.
