During the Ginyu Force's game, it has been called Roshambo, the phonetic French for 'rock-paper-scissors'.

It is interesting to note that each side of the rock-paper-scissors triangle won at least once (scissors won twice).

Goku wins with rock and fights Buu, with Vegeta getting quite irritated (this is the second time a rock-paper-scissors has concluded with Vegeta picking scissors). Instead, Goku and Vegeta do rock-paper-scissors to decide who gets to fight Buu. In Battle for the Universe Begins, Kibito Kai and Elder Kai are hopeful that they will do the Fusion Dance. Goku and Vegeta draw Kid Buu to Supreme Kai's planet for the final battle. Vegeta wins with scissors and easily defeats Pui Pui. When Babidi sends Pui Pui to fight Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan, all three of them do rock-paper-scissors to determine who fights him. Goku and Vegeta deciding who will fight Kid Buu They never finish, however, as they are interrupted when Vegeta unleashes a devastating attack on Recoome, and so they observe the fight from there, until Goku knocks out Recoome and they are forced to step in. Vegeta, Goku and Gohan deciding who will fight Pui Puiīefore Vegeta fights Recoome, Burter and Jeice do rock-paper-scissors to determine who fights Krillin and Gohan. When witnessing them do this, Gohan thought that they were acting like goofballs. However, he may have just been sore that he lost. Recoome wins (he picked paper and the others all picked rock). Recoome, Burter, Jeice, and Guldo all do rock-paper-scissors to determine who fights Vegeta. When the Ginyu Force capture all seven Dragon Balls for Frieza, Ginyu decides to fight Vegeta, but receives complaints from Recoome, Burter, Jeice, and Guldo, all of whom want to fight Vegeta, he instead decides to take the Dragon Balls to Frieza. Rock-paper-scissors is used twice in the Namek Saga, though only once it yields results. The Ginyu Force deciding who will fight Vegeta Goz wins with scissors, and challenges Goku to a wrestling match.

It is implied that they are going to fight each other to determine who fights Goku first, but instead they do rock-paper-scissors. When Goku falls off Snake Way in Home for Infinite Losers, and he asks two ogres named Goz and Mez how to get out, they decide that if he can defeat them they'll show him the way out. The crab, being a sore loser, sprays Gohan's face with bubbles. Both of them keep picking scissors, as the crab can obviously only choose scissors, until Gohan picks rock. When Goku is telling everyone at Kame House about Gohan, Gohan meets a crab (which is much smaller than the giant one on Namek) and they do rock-paper-scissors. Gohan playing Rock-Paper-Scissors with a crab Yajirobe wins and fights Cymbal cutting him in half with his katana and eating him. Goku and Yajirobe play rock-paper-scissors to decide who will fight Cymbal. Goku and Yajirobe playing rock-paper-scissors to decide who will fight Cymbal
