!!The main series provides examples of:



* DavidVsGoliath: Gine's tournament match with Aikon in the spin-off. Aikon physically towers over Gine, is far stronger than her, and is able to shrug off her attacks. The only advantage she has in this fight is her speed and she spends most of the battle on the defensive.



* FragileSpeedster: The spin-off establishes that Gine had impressive speed for a Saiyan but lacked power in her attacks and couldn't take many hits. During her tournament match with Aikon, Gine spends most of the battle using her speed to dodge her larger opponent's attacks and gets badly beaten up once Aikon catches her.

* ForegoneConclusion: The final tournament round between Gine and Fasha is this since the reader knows that both will canonically end up on Bardock's team regardless of whoever wins.

* ArrogantKungFuGirl: Surprisingly, Gine herself is one when she first arrives on Earth. She initially dismisses Gohan's offer to train her because he's weaker than her and claims that she doesn't need training since she's already the strongest person on Earth. Gohan sets her straight by knocking her to the ground, demonstrating that a weaker fighter is still capable of catching her off guard and tells Gine that if she continues with this attitude, she'll eventually fall to her own hubris.
