There was a time when "Deus ex machina" was huge, too!

Don't forget Mary Sue/Gary Stu

I don't see it crop up as often as before but there was a time I saw that term thrown a lot at Goku

Yep, that one especially. People in this fanbase clearly have no idea what jobbing is.

Also, the word fodder needs to join the category as well.

You can throw in "retcon" as well. That word has lost nearly all its substance with how much it's casually thrown around.

I actually wouldn't mind if Vegeta got knocked out by Frost redirecting the Mafuba and sealed him, it's much more interesting then Vegeta getting KO the normal way, it would suck to see Vegeta go out just before the climax but I would be able to live with it that way. Of course big issue for Frost is he doesn't have a seal...

I still say Vegeta gets trap, the bottle gets lost somehow, and Vegeta is one of the people counted in the end since he's still technically in the ring.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

That would definitely be a very Toriyama thing to do. Veggie fans can rejoic Vegeta goes the distance.

Unless Frost have the seal I don't see why Vegeta could'nt escape the same way zamasu did.

The seal is written directly on the bottle.

Though I think Vegeta being trapped without the seal would be entirely pointless since everyone knows he can just escape from that. There is no drama there. Maybe Roshi seals it quickly without realizing what is happening or Frost does manage to get the seal and Jar away from Master Roshi to actually seal Vegeta away.

Anyways while I don't want Vegeta knocked out of the story so early if it is the case where he is able to escape from the sealed Mafuba that would be pretty cool. I may forgive them for that. ;)


Edit: Or as the above says the seal is written directly on the jar. Actually that makes a lot of sense.

Frost wouldn't know about that so he could think he's done only for him to break out and kick his sorry behind.

Or the writers will forget a seal is needed and just leave Vegeta in there.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

You know they wouldn't accept that.


If they did, they would know Vegeta has more wins in super than Goku.

Agree. I think this is exactly what will happen.

Considering they just showed Roshi sealing the Mafuba in the episode before last, they aren't gonna magically forget how the Mafuba works. I think the lack of seal is what the summaries meant when "Frost seemed to have trapped Vegeta but...".

The seal is on the bottle,we saw that on the Roshi episode,seriously the people that say Toei/Toriyama forgot are the ones who forget something after they saw it.

Considering that Frost is REDIRECTING Roshi's mafuuba, Roshi orbably already has another bottle out with the seal on it.
