6!!!Original Airdate: January 16, 2014
7Vegeta jumps right into battle with the Androids, and ends up getting rag-dolled. It gets even worse when he has choice words for 18.
8
9!!Then I, too, hope it is a trope:
10* AssholeVictim: Save for Trunks, no one else is in a rush to help Vegeta, especially being justifiably and brutally punished by 18 for throwing some rather derogatory words due to her gender.
11* AtomicFBomb: Vegeta begins this when his arm is broken.
12* BerserkButton: Trunks learns the hard way what would happen if you ''ever'' compared Vegeta to Goku/Kakarot.
13-->'''Trunks:''' I wish you'd understand...! There's no way we can fight them without Goku!\
14'''Vegeta:''' And I wish you'd understand who you're talking to! I am Vegeta! Why would I ever need that gibbering fool's help!?\
15'''Trunks:''' Because you're not as strong as-''[[[TalkToTheFist Vegeta gut-punches him and flies away]]]''\
16'''Krillin:''' You pushed the Goku button. You shouldn't a did that.
17* BrickJoke: 17 tells 16 he needs a hobby. This is when his affinity for birds starts.
18* CountryMatters: Vegeta calls 18 a "smug c***". The result: StunnedSilence from everyone else, and a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from 18.
19* CurbStompBattle: 18 delivers one to Vegeta; while Vegeta gets a few shots in early into their fight, all it really does is damage 18's coat and leggings. Afterwards, she pretty handily defeats the Saiyan prince, even with him in Super Saiyan form; not only does she batter him senseless, she breaks his arm.
20* DescriptionCut: Trunks is upset about Vegeta running off to fight the Androids on his own, calling them "humanity's greatest threat." Cut to the battle, where Vegeta's doing more to endanger innocent lives than 18:
21-->'''Vegeta:''' I WILL KILL AS MANY PEOPLE AS I HAVE TO AS LONG AS ''YOU'' ARE ONE OF THEM!!
22* DeusExitMachina: {{Discussed}} when Goku is mentioned.
23-->'''Vegeta:''' Can we stop talking about Kakarot for just a minute?! I mean, for God's sake, he's never even around!\
24'''Piccolo:''' [[JerkassHasAPoint Sad thing is, he's not exactly wrong]].
25* {{Foreshadowing}}: 18 makes a verbal note that she'll break Vegeta's arm. By the end of the episode, she does exactly that.
26* ImpliedDeathThreat: 17 warns the other fighters that he will do this if they interfere with Vegeta and 18's fight:
27-->'''17''': If any of you decide to jump in and help "MC Widow's Peak" over there, I will personally introduce you to the ground. And trust me... [[DeadlyEuphemism your relationship will be]] ''[[DeadlyEuphemism intimate]]''.
28* LampshadeHanging: Several, like mentioning they were just standing and staring at the androids instead of attacking them, assuming that they were destroyed when they weren't and talking a lot about needing Goku while he's not around.
29* MeanwhileBackAtThe: After the "Goku button" scene, it cuts to his house, where Goku is screaming in pain nonstop. It also goes back to him in TheStinger.
30* MythologyGag: Vegeta attempts to use his "SAD FOR YOU!" quote from the original English dub, but 18 breaks his arm before he can finish it.
31* TheScream:
32** Trunks lets one as he blasting the now revealed androids 17 and 18.
33--> '''Krillin''': So does this mean they're on our side-\
34'''Trunks''': '''YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!''' (Turns super Saiyan Blasts the entire lab away)
35** Vegeta lets one out after 18 breaks his arm.
36* ShoutOut:
37-->'''Vegeta:''' Well, well, well. If it isn't [[Literature/RaggedyAnn Faggoty Andy and On-the-Raggedy Ann]].\
38'''18:''' [[{{Foreshadowing}} I'm going to break his arm]].\
39'''17:''' Kinda proving his point, ain't ya, sis?\
40'''18:''' [[InsultBackfire Shut up,]] ''[[InsultBackfire Ann]]''.
41** During this dialogue in the [[GagSub English (Canada) sub]], the bylines for 17 and 18's lines imply that 17 is "Ann" and 18 is "Andy".
42** It's more funny when considering the "On-the-Raggedy Ann" applies more fittingly to 18 then to 17 because she still has a Vagina.
43* StayInTheKitchen: Vegeta tries to take a jab as 18's anatomy ''and'' sex, but:
44-->'''Vegeta:''' ''[To 18]'' You sure talk a lot of shit for a washing machine. And no, I'm not just saying that because you're an Android. I'm saying it because you're a wom-''[[[TalkToTheFist 18 headbutts him]]]''
45* TranquilFury: Android 18 doesn't flip out like Vegeta does, but it's clear his CountryMatters jab has exhausted her patience by the time she gets around to ending the fight.
46-->'''18:''' *sigh*... Yep.
47* WouldHitAGirl: Vegeta states he has no problems hitting a woman. 18 shares the same sentiment. To ''him''.
48----
49->'''18:''' How quickly bravado goes out the window when you're flat on your ass. That's pretty sad.
