In Yu Yu Hakusho, one of the tests the Genkai has for choosing her apprentice is rock-paper-scissors - in truth a game that looks like it, but actually tests for spiritual awareness.Doing this instead of going the safe route and pulling off the Fusion Dance stun the Kais present, showing how prideful a Saiyan can be. Goku and Vegeta also play it before their last encounter with Kid Buu, having drawn him to Supreme Kai's planet for the final battle.they do it again! As a result, using rock-paper-scissors as a means to deciding important things, and then tying over and over again, became a sort of Call Back in the series, happening again to Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta in the last storyline (Vegeta won, which meant he was allowed to pretty much kill Pui-Pui). And then continue to do so for about five minutes. Dragon Ball Z has what is probably one of the most memorable examples of this trope, where the Ginyu force decide to play rock-paper-scissors to determine who will fight the heroes, and they stalemate by choosing the same option.During the King Piccolo arc, Goku and Yajirobe Rock-Paper-Scissors for the right to fight King Piccolo's minion Cymbal.Also you have to call out which one you're using whenever you attack with it, which leads to a scene where Goku "cheats" somewhat by saying Paper but doing the Rock move instead. In the original Dragon Ball, "Jan Ken" is a fighting move - Rock is a punch, Paper is a chop, and Scissors is a Three-Stooges-style eye poke.A 2011 "Subway" commercial involves two firefighters playing Rock-Paper-Scissors to see who gets a coworker's sandwich but by the time they complete their best-two-out-of-three, he's already polished it off and merely hands over the empty wrapper.It's the players' fault for snagging his Pepsi every time he got one out of the vending machine, although that sort of thing is all right if you're freaking David Beckham. Similar to the above, a World Cup commercial for Pepsi has a referee run out of coins for the starting coin toss, and resort to this.Poor Predictable Rock is when someone devotes themselves to one of the three options for any conceivable scenario. Not to be confused with Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors, or Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissors, both of which describe a similar "X beats Y beats Z beats X" situation. The game is also known, incidentally, as "jan-ken-pon" in Japan and South America, "kawi-bawi-bo" in Korea, "rochambeau" in the west, "pierre-papier-ciseaux" or "chifoumi" in France, and "Ching-Chang-Wallah" in parts of England, though the more common British title is "paper-scissors-stone". The use of rock-paper-scissors to resolve disputes or apportion chores (rather than as a game) is mostly a Japanese Media Tropes, but it has recently been commuting over to Western audiences as well, where it may be Played for Laughs. Few things cause the tension to fall apart like the heroes suddenly deciding a tense issue by playing games. For example, "Fire" may beat rock, paper, and scissors alike (but can only be played once) while "Water" beats "Fire" but loses to everything else (and can be played at any time).Īnyway, the simple and almost childlike qualities of the game make it a prime tool for a random Anticlimax. Many variations of the game exist, sometimes incorporating additional elements that may or may not be properly balanced against the usual three. It's also a tie if there are more than three people who each lose and win at the same time. Extremely simple, but elegant, there are three choices a player can make, and each beats another and loses to the third. Rock-paper-scissors is a game that is known throughout the world.

THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
