Black Rose, Blue Thunder/Tropes

*Actually Pretty Funny: Soun agreed that Genma falling in the spring of big fat flying pig was this. Genma’s pain at his friends mocking just caused him and his daughters to laugh even more.
**Everyone has the same reaction when they find out about his curse.
::Genma: I know, but I still don't think it's funny. It's my greatest mistake...
*Adaptational Badass: Kuno is shown to be far stronger then his counterpart as he has been traveling and training with Ryoga.
*Adaptational Explanation: It is stated that joining the schools was happosai’s idea
*Adaptation Personality Change: Ranma Kodachi are con men
**To the point that Ranma doesn’t mind his cursed form much while seeing it as rather beneficial both in his con jobs and to get out of trouble. He even planned going to his first day of school in it asking nabiki if it was the type of thing that would freak the students out. 
**Akane is a Kawaiiko who dates a lot

*Beat: Nabiki had one of these after acknowledging the flying pig 
*Big Brother Instinct: It is very noticeable every time Tatewaki discovers news about his sister that didn't please him
*Birds of a Feather: Kodachi knows Ranma inside and out, just as he knows her, and that sort of connection simply cannot be broken. Especially when the people sharing it have only found acceptance in each other. In their meeting they encountered the first person in their lives who did not scorn their natural indiscretions of stealing food or conning people out of money for survival. Rather they traded secrets and devised new and better plans for doing so. In short, Ranma and Kodachi found in one another their partner in crime. And they vowed to be partners forever. Together they made a phenomenal team and Kodachi had helped Ranma out of more tight jams then he'd like to recall.
*Blatant Lies: Kodachi’s explanation for what the flying pig was.
**There is no way Tatewaki would be afraid of a little turbulence, he’s just testing the strength of his armrest.
*Bullying a Dragon: Nabiki tried to intimidate Kodachi who she realized was a con artist.
*The Charmer: In contrast with his canon counterpart this version of Ranma is fully aware of his effect on the opposite sex and the only thing keeping him from exploiting it is his devotion to Kodachi.
*Clingy Jealous Girl: Averted with Kodachi she knows fully well that Ranma only has eyes for her. Though given Ranma’s status as a Chick Magnet the two play this trope up to keep others away from him.

*Department of Child Disservices: Averted all of Tatewaki’s foster families had been kind to him, even if they didn't know how to help heal his broken heart.
*Dumb Blonde: One of the cons that Ranma does. He doesn’t really like it because he finds it hard to to main the level of dumb is good that guys tend to like. 
*Entertainingly Wrong: Mousse though that Shampoo had knocked him into the spring of drowned girl as a way to give him a second chance at life when in fact she had just reached her rage breaking point and the spring he fell into was random.
*Everyone Can See It: Tatewaki and Shampoo are obviously attracted to each other 
*Everyone Has Standards: The sight of a flying pig fighting two very angry looking girls wearing huge backpacks is a sight that even the oldest citizen of Nerima would find bizarre.
*Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Mousse didn’t understand why Shampoo would be disgusted by him throwing Kuno into a spring for trying to stop him from attacking her.
*Exact Words: Most of the engagements weren't specific and could be meant for Ranma or Ryoga. It just so happened that since Ranma was the son that was present he was the one who got saddled with the responsibility.

**Kodachi and Tatewaki ended up in foster care.
**Social serviced took Tatewaki and Kodachi away from Godai.

*Gag Penis: Ranma if Akane’s comment is anything to go by.

*Obviously Evil: Nabiki knew what Kodachi was the second she started talking.
*One Degree of Separation: In keeping with the nature of the altered destinies multiverse. Kodachi and Tatewaki were separated as children and ended up separately meeting up and traveling with Ranma and Ryoga two brothers. Both groups ended up traveling to Jusenkyo when Ranma and Kodachi went they ended up stealing a bunch of Amazonian treasures when Tatewaki found out he pledged loyalty to the amazons so that they would resend their order to kill her. Ranma is the grandson of Happosai who stole from them years ago and Ryoga is Colognes great grand nephew. 
*OOC Is Serious Business: Genma made the promise of the Tendo engagement on his honor something he’s never done before. Though Ranma just thought it was because he didn’t have any. This made it hard to just walk away.
*Parental Marriage Veto: Inverted Ranma and the Tendo sisters all agree not to go with the engagement against genma and souns protest.
** Played straight with Ranma and Kodachi’s relationship. Genma has repeatedly tried tp break them up because she wasn’t an official iinazuke.
*The Phoenix: Mousse threw kuno into the spring of drowned phoenix
*Plane Awful Flight: Inverted it had been a long flight for the crew of the Good Luck, China Airlines international flight 109. When they had finally landed they were all planning to sacrifice one of the four troublesome passengers onboard to the great god of airline travel.
*Reality Ensues: Tatewaki run away from his latest foster home after they'd discovered the Kuno family katana he'd always kept with him. Feeling that the weapon wasn't appropriate for an eight year boy, they had tried to take it away only to have Tatewaki run away with the katana in tow.
**Yes Cologne could just tell Perfume that the order to kill Ranma and Kodachi had been rescinded, but she had been so angry when she left that Cologne felt she needed someone to explain the logistics of the situation to her. Which is where Shampoo comes in.
*School Idol: Akane’s Furinkan's top athlete and is pretty much responsible for the championship seasons of the girls basketball, softball, soccer, volleyball, track, and diving team. Thus she has a lot of fans who worship her for it.

*Second Law of Gender Bending: Mousse decided to fully embrace the curse
*Serial Escalation: Ranma claims that Genma has engaged him to a billion woman. Though genma says that it was only five 
*Shout-Out: Tatewaki falling into the spring of drowned phoenix is a nod to the phoenix sword technique of the original. He even looks like that bird did.
*Social Services Does Not Exist: Averted they discovered Godai’s abuse and took him away before it could truly affect them.
*Spanner in the Works: Ranma and Kodachi planned on just staying at the dojo for a night never allowing the tendo’s to learn of her true form. Unfortunately Genma found them causing Akane to rush into the furo before Ranma could change back to ask why a flying pig was attacking Kodachi.

*Stunned Silence: The denizens of nerima upon seeing Ranma-chan and Kodachi fighting Genma.

*Trapped by Mountain Lions: Ryoga and Tatewaki are introduced having just escaped the Musk.
