I did a little research and found that trope more fitting for the revelation of Ruby's powers than Asspull because Shocking Swerve is reserved for plot twists that occur at the end of the story/arc/episode but didn't get foreshadowing and subsequently ruined other subplots. One thing I must correct is that the page doesn't say that the trope needs to be irrelevant to the plot. Nowhere in the article it's implied such.

I understand why it's not fitting and I will accept the choice for now, but I still think it's grasping on edges and goes against the purpose of the YMMV page. It feels as if we're using ExactWords to refute the opinion of almost half of the fanbase. Supposedly this page is to share opinions that are argueable in terms of preference but we're refusing to add one of the most popular ones because the opinion is blue and we only accept red? I dunno about you guys but this feels like dirty tricks to me. It's a major topic and shouldn't be denied a place in here.

I understand why the trope is not entirely fitting but still find that the reason is grasping on edges and goes against the purpose of the YMMV page. It feels as if we\'re using ExactWords to refute the opinion of almost half of the fanbase. Maybe it\'s not the correct trope but, until we find the one, we should use the closest we can find to give it a name. This is a very popular and controversial topic. It needs a place in this page.

Besides, we can always simply address the fact that there was foreshadowing, even if very low quality, and problem fixed. A lot of tropes do that because, in some occasions, it\'s impossible to find a trope that is 100% fitting. We might have a million of tropes but that doesn\'t mean there\'s one for every situation.
