No, we're going to need more. How is that deus ex machina?[/quote]

He showed up to finish Frieza and King Cold and came back just in time to help fight the androids and Cell. If it weren't for Trunks arriving to save the day, I'm sure half the fighters would've died during the Cell arc.[/quote]
That's not deus ex machina. He showed up because he knew when it would happen.[/quote]

Ain't it just a little implausible that some OP dude just happens to show up from the future to beat Frieza?

Not in the Dragon Ball world. It makes sense in a story about time travel that something like this would happen. It's as much Deus Ex Machina as Reese rescuing Sarah Connor.

OP?
The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach.
