Black Rose, Blue Thunder/Tropes

A

* **Abandoned Area**: The once illustrious Kuno Mansion has since become run down and deserted over time.
* **Above the Influence**: Kodachi didn’t take Nabiki up on her offer to stay longer, while Nabiki denied that’s what she met; they both knew how Kodachi’s mind and body worked.
* **Academy of Adventure**: Though Godai Kuno isn’t the principle, Furukin is still quite a chaotic institution. However principle Hiro Ukita stresses despite rumors otherwise Furinkan High is a place of learning and not a place of total chaos.
* **Accidentally Accurate**: There really is a Grocer Bag who lives in Joketsuzoku.
* **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...*
* + For Cologne it was perfume being a **Henpecked Husband**.
	+ The various Furukin athletes couldn't hold it against Yumi for being concerned for Akane's welfare, because it was a crime that they were all guilty of at one time or another.
	+ Pixie-Perfume being trapped in the horde of flying panties at least Siren seems to think so.
* **Adaptational Angst Downgrade**: Ranma is far more comfortable with himself so when he was stuck in his curse he decided it was best to dress as a girl much to Genma’s horror.
* **Adaptational Badass**: Kuno is shown to be far stronger then his counterpart as he has been traveling and training with Ryoga.
	+ While the **Chef of Iron** theme is still there Ukyo is a **Multi-Melee Master** in this universe.
	+ Canon Ranma is able to feel a person’s unleashed battle aura but BRBT Ranma is able to sense a person’s chi which is how he knew Happosai was so powerful.
	+ Ryoga is shown to already know how to shoot ki blast.
* **Adaptational Backstory Change**: In this universe Perfume’s ailment is something she inherited from her grandfather and not just a rare disability.
* **Adaptational Explanation**: It is stated that joining the schools was happosai’s idea
* **Adaptational Heroism**: Since Ukyo is actually male, instead of being a **Stalker with a Crush** Tsubasa is Ukyo’s friend and co-worker.
	+ It’s hinted that Cybelle is this though it’s never stated whether Ranma was talking about her or Ganglot.
	+ Since Nodoka married Atsuko along with Genma the Masaki clan didn’t feel the need to disinherit her.
* **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
	+ Having not been raised by their father and as well as not being drug addicts both Kuno sibling are far saner.
	+ Kodachi’s mother doesn’t seem to have been insane in this universe.
	+ Growing up being able to talk to pokemon means that Taro isn’t the **Jerkass** loner he is in canon.
	+ Nodoka’s casualness about Ranma’s curse is the biggest hint that she is Yosho’s daughter.
* **Adaptational Wealth**: Played with Nodoka isn’t any more or less wealthy then she is in any other universe it’s just that she wasn’t cut off and the inheritance moved to Ranma. Considering that this seems to be Kiyone-Nodoka this is probably averted all together and she just never felt the need to give that lie due to marrying Atsuko as well.
* **Ain't Too Proud to Beg**: Wubei Tahashi when she hit Akane’s **Berserk Button**.
	+ Mousse got on his knees and begged Shampoo not to tell Akane his secret.
* **All Girls Want Bad Boys**: Kensuke suspected this is the reason for his wife’s crush on Ukyo.
* **All-Loving Hero**: Not even the likes of Happosai can upset Akane. She even almost adopted him as a pet initially thinking he was a harmless barnacle.
* **All Men Are Perverts**: The explanation the students came up with for why the 50 or so boys weren’t staring at Shampoo’s **Stripperiffic** uniform was that they were probably the few poor saps who had inadvertently ran into Akane over the weekend and her food had warped their sex drives or something like that.
	+ They were actually asking for info about Chocolate Mousse
* **All There in the Manual**: This is an Altered Destinies fanfic and **Word of God** specifically states that the Baderverse was used as inspiration. However while there are a lot of hints the author never goes into specifics so unless you’ve read Jim Bader’s works you wouldn’t be aware of just how intricate Ranma and Ryoga’s family tree is.
* **All Women Are Lustful**: All the girls of Furinkan High were horribly deprived. Deprived of intelligent, polite, and good looking boys. When Ranma came they got their first taste of being around a boy like that and now the girls craved more. That's when Tatewaki arrived and unlike Ranma, he was very much single.
* **Alternate Universe**: An Altered Destinies fanfic.
* **Amazingly Embarrassing Parents**: While Ryoga found it nice to have his mothers back there were certain things he didn't want them involved in, his love life being one of them.
* **Ambiguous Situation**: It’s hinted that Ranma and Ryoga have a relationship with either Ganglot (meaning that she’s been freed of her prison) or Cybelle (meaning she’s had a **Heel Face Turn** or is at least more **Affably Evil**). Ranma mentioned how Happosai’s chi reminded him of his grandmother which confused him, he was called out by Kodachi for not punishing Happosai before he specifically stated that she was a demon, and never said who his grandmother was.
* **And I'm the Queen of Sheba**: This was Tsubasa’s response to Kodachi referring to herself as an old friend of Ukyo.
* **Animal Motifs**: Nabiki is described as being similar to a wild cat
* **Apocalypse How**: Furinkan High home economics midterm is treated like this. On this one day more than ninety percent of the students call in sick and it is nearly impossible to get enough substitutes for all of the teacher absences. Because of the tendency for missing students and teachers, the few who do show up for school are all placed in the same room.
* **Appeal To Consequences**: This is how Siren convinced the council to allow her to take Kasumi on as an apprentice since otherwise she would just be loyal to Cologne. While she might be more open the the councils influence if she was a mage.
	+ It was a combination of this and **Screw This, I'm Outta Here**. They would discretely approve Siren's decision to take Perfume's Airen as her apprentice while making very sure that Cologne knew nothing of their involvement.
* **Appeal to Flattery**: Ranma had his cursed unlocked so wanted to stay in his real form for a while so when Kodachi needed his cursed form to get past the crown of auditioners this is how she convinced him to change.
* **Arbitrary Skepticism**: Nabiki didn’t believe that the flying pig that she and Kodachi just finished defeated had escaped from a lab.
	+ Not only is this an Altered Destiny story, but the author thanked Jim Robert Bader for letting them use his ideas. So Dr. Fuyuki Umi shouldn’t be so skeptical of Akane seeing a flying man who clearly fits the description of Superman given that superheros have been a thing for decades.
* **Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking**: When Siren asked why the council didn’t respect their Amazonian mage Be De replied that she insist on using her skills for ill use, breaks all of their most sacred laws and refuses to take on an apprentice to train in the arts of sorcery. Lotion then sarcastically added that she refers to herself in third person just to annoy certain people who keep rising to her bait.
* **Ascended Fanon**: Draiser acknowledge the possible future of Tinkerbell Tendo in the notes of chapter 8.
* **Author Appeal**: Regularly describes the characters eyes.

B

* **Bad Liar**: Chocolate is not a terribly good liar relying mostly on LineOfSightName and whatever pops into her head at the moment for questions she doesn’t know the answer to. Her only saving grace is that people keep taking her answers at face value.
* **Bait and Switch**: Seeing that Happosai was the one scaring his father there was a long tense pause as Ranma narrowed his eyes before asking Happosai to teach him how to do it.
* **Batman Gambit**:
	+ Mousse’s OperationJealousy gambit either Tatewaki claims Shampoo as his own or he doesn’t and she’ll find a strong Airen amongst the hentai horde.
	+ Cologne was taught that it was better to have a potential ally then a powerful enemy. So she gave Ranma a restraining bolt that not only locked him into his cursed form but restrained his power so that she could properly teach him magic.
	+ How did Kodachi get the group through the crown of auditioners. She convinced Ranma to jump Nabiki over them causing a jealous Ryoga to plow through to catch up clearing a path for her, Tatewaki and Shampoo.
* **Beat**: Nabiki had one of these after acknowledging the flying pig.
* **Beauty Equals Goodness**:
	+ Akane is the most kawaii girl in this universe and has legions of fans.
	+ Mousse’s **Heel Face Turn** was predicated by him falling into the spring of drowned girl.
	+ Downplayed with Ranma-chan and Kodachi who are **Unscrupulous Hero’s**.
* **Berserk Button**: Never tell Akane that a game is nothing to get worked up on.
	+ For Siren it’s Happosai
* **Best Her to Bed Her**: Akari promised her grandfather on his deathbed this
* **Beware the Nice Ones**:
	+ Kasumi can be pretty strict at times
	+ The ominous way Kasumi said she would punish her if she didn’t stop trying to kill Ranma and Kodachi made Perfume reconsider just doing it against her wishes.
* **Beyond the Impossible**: They have to keep Akane’s cooking in a container designed to hold up under nuclear radiation testing so that its metal won’t melt.
* **Big Brother Instinct**: It is very noticeable every time Tatewaki discovers news about his sister that didn't please him.
* **Big "What?"**: Nabiki after Ranma and Kodachi told her they were going to help her find a man.
* **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.
		- But still, more credit should be given to Kodachi because before her, Ranma never truly felt understood. He felt loved before. Even appreciated and admired but never had he met anyone who understood him like Kodachi.
	+ Akane and Chocolate
* **Bishōnen**: Ukyo despite being sixteen years old was voted the sexiest man alive.
* **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.
	+ Ryoga is a fashion purist.
	+ Kodachi told Akane that the wind must have blown her underwear outside.
	+ DJ Kamikaze Kenjiko didn’t conspire to force Nabiki and Ryoga to sing at the Karaoke bar. Pay no attention to the money he was placing in his pocket.
	+ Nabiki assured Ryoga that the crying game owner would be fine after she won all of his prizes.
	+ Chocolate is allergic to hot water.
* **Blessed with Suck**: Pokefist doesn't help Ranma in the slightest when it comes to the martial arts and it makes him think that he's a Pokemon and act annoyingly kawaii also.
* **Bodyguarding a Badass**: Ukyo’s two bodyguards Akira and Sato.
* **Bound and Gagged**: This was done to Genma so he couldn’t runaway after Ryoga called his mothers for help.
* **Brawn Hilda**: Grocery Bag’s girlfriend Supermarket. Unfortunately for the Hentai Horde she’s also a **Violently Protective Girlfriend**.
* **Broken Ace**: While Ryoga isn’t **The Eeyore** in this universe having grown up with a loving family he still has the Hibiki curse of **No Sense of Direction** as well as **Unstoppable Rage** when pushed to the breaking point. Even though they go away relatively quickly he does suffer from random bouts of depression when he thinks he’s done something wrong.
* **Bullying a Dragon**: Nabiki tried to intimidate Kodachi who she realized was a con artist.
	+ The village elders are well aware of the fact that Siren would never do anything to hurt our people. Which gives them a slight advantage over her.
* **Butt Monkey**: Perfume is cursed to transform into a pixie which not only makes people underestimate her strength but she is often mistaken for a bug. Her first attempt at assassinating Kodachi ended up activating her curse. Her second attempted ended with her being flushed down the toilet after being mistaken for a bug by Nabiki. When she was finally able to transform back she was covered in sludge.

C

* **The Casanova**: Ukyo and Tsubasa. It’s specifically stated that Tsubasa's dating habits are worse than Ukyo's flirting habits, which is why he was extremely happy that Furinkan High had a large population of pretty girls upon transferring there.
* **Cassandra Truth**:
	+ Perfume was splashed right before Akane could introduce her to Nabiki who didn’t believe her and thought she was taking iron supplement pills again.
	+ Dr Umi didn’t believe Akane when she told them that Mousse fell out of the sky.
		- She also didn’t believe that she was hit by a bus.
	+ Ryoga really has no idea why Ukyo is angry at him
* **Casual Kink**: Akane’s teammates mistook this as the reason she was handcuffed to Chocolate.
* **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.
* **Closet Key**: Kasumi quickly found she wasn’t as averse to being intimate with a woman as she thought she’d be after receiving the kiss of life from Perfume.
* **Clueless Chick Magnet**: Tatewaki of all people is this he was shocked at the female attention he got just from introducing himself to the class. Though according to Nabiki at Furinkan High That's all it really takes.
* **Coincidental Dodge**: Kodachi bending down to pick up a hundred yen piece allowed her to dodge Perfume’s strike to her neck.
* **Comically Missing the Point**:
	+ Mousse followed Shampoo to Japan because of her vow to never again allow harm to come to the other girl. Still not realizing that Shampoo just wants her to leave her alone.
	+ While Mousse truly does **I Want My Beloved to Be Happy|Shampoo to be happy** she still stalks her only this time she’s a **Stalker Without a Crush**.
* **Comedic Work, Serious Scene**: The fight between Ukyo and Ryoga in Chapter 15 as lampshaded by the author herself.
* **Complexity Addiction**: The reason Ukyo didn’t just attack Ryoga was because it would be too easy. He wants to make Ryoga suffer just like he had to for the past ten years.
* **Composite Character**: Kuno takes the role of Linn Suzuki being raised by Azami and searching for his sister.
* **Con Man**: Ranma is a charming con artist with a killer smile.
* **Contrived Coincidence**:
	+ At the end of chapter one we learned that Kuno had gone missing and Kodachi and Ranma had been searching for him only to come up lacking at every turn. Chapter two starts with him having been traveling with Ryoga searching for her.
	+ The two arrived at jusenkyo at the same time Mousse had officially challenged Shampoo who happened to be one of Kodachi and Ranma’s victim.
	+ Not only did Ranma and Kodachi know each other’s first paramours both parties ended up as a couple.
* **Cool Sword**: The kuno family katana
* **Crack Fic**: Two girls and a flying pig arrive at the Tendo Dojo The two girls are Ranma (in his cursed form of a female elf), and Kodachi, with whom, Ranma is very much in love. The pig is Genma of course, and when he switches back to normal. the matter of the arranged marriage is broached. Can Ranma stay true to Kodachi. Ranma here is a charming rogue, as is Kodachi. Ryoga is his brother, Tatewaki is a part time chicken! (well, at least it looks a bit like one), and Akane is the sweetest, nicest girl in all Nerima (and a hell of a sports star). Chocoholics rejoice...
* **Crazy Jealous Guy**:
	+ Averted with Ranma who is the only one who doesn’t care what Ukyo and Kodachi’s relationship was as it was in the past and obviously over.
	+ Played straight when he did go and find Kodachi.
	+ Ultimately averted Ranma is fully aware his and Kodachi’s relationship was fully secure, she loved him and Ukyo wanted nothing to do with her so there was no competition on that end, it was just something that he couldn’t explain about their reunion made him nervous.
* **Crazy Prepared**: Kodachi and Ranma always carry a flask of hot water on us for emergencies.
	+ The school hired an actor so that they can believably tell Akane that her food is possessed.
* **Crime of Self-Defense**: Downplayed and ultimately averted Dr. Fuyuki Umi was horrified at the brutality Shampoo unleashed on a group of men and while she calmed down after finding out they attacked her first she still informed the school what she did. When principle Hiro chastised her he was shocked when she didn’t even try to deny her actions, luckily Kodachi came to her rescue and explained that she just reacted to the customs of her tribe and he agreed to drop the matter. She was still suspended for using excessive force.
* **Cue the Flying Pigs**: When Ryoga told Ukyo he’d take Nabiki away from him when pigs fly Genma showed up to give him the lunch he forgot.
* **Curb Stomp Battle**: The Hentai Horde proved to be no match for Shampoo and disbanded after a brutal **No-Holds-Barred Beatdown**.
* **Curse That Cures**: Mousse’s cursed form has perfect vision.
* **Cursed with Awesome**: This is why Siren’s husband Calgary saw his heightened senses which is why he refused to allow her to take them away. Their daughter and granddaughter chose to follow in his path. They both chose to keep the pain this condition causes rather than have their special skills taken away.

D

* **Damned By Faint Praise**:
	+ Nabiki doesn't care quite as much about money as everyone seems to think
	+ Nerima being the third strangest district after Tomobiki or Juuban gave Dr. Fuyuki Umi comfort because it meant there were places stranger than Nerima and doctors even more harried than she was.
* **Deadpan Snarker**: Soun of all people after Atsuko and Nodoka kidnapped their children and husband without saying anything.
* **Deal with the Devil**: Ranma made one with Happosai so that he didn’t look bad in front of Kodachi
	+ Ukyo performed a legitimate one with Mara in order to get revenge on Ryoga.
	+ Ranma then made one with Siren to help him with the one he made with Happosai. Luckily she gave him a beneficial order, to never make another promise to Happosai again.
* **Death From Above**: Prince Kirin ordered a storm of pickles to be dropped from the airship onto the Tendo Dojo. Burying everyone in it in a pile of pickled monstrosity that smelled just as bad as it tasted, after Happosai told him that he threw away the Seven Lucky Gods scroll.
* **Deceased Parents Are the Best**: Kodachi and Tatewaki remember there mother fondly at least.
	+ Since J’hael died when Perfume was born she never abused her for being unable to be a warrior.
* **Delayed Reaction**: It took Nabiki a while to realize that a flying pig had just attacked her and Kodachi.
	+ Nabiki walking in on Kasumi and Perfume.
* **Delusions of Doghood**: The Pokefist basically makes its user think that they're Pokemon.
* **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.
* **Didn't Think This Through**: Even if he was planning to follow the **Second Law of Gender Bending** Mousse trying to have a relationship with Akane without informing her about the truth of his curse is this. It’s only Akane’s trusting and ditzy nature that it hadn’t been revealed before Shampoo discovered them.
* **Dirty Old Man**: A man tricked Akane into thinking he is the panty collector. Basically a he's like the tax collector except he collects panties. Once a month he comes to the dojo asking for all of Akane’s old panties. Apparently her panties pay for her family gas bill.
	+ Due to needing to find out why all of there panties just flew away Chocolate just told Akane to never do business with that man again and to not tell her father.
* **Distinction Without a Difference**:
	+ Ryoga was gagged not tied up.
	+ Ranma and Kodachi weren’t being nosy when they went through Nabiki’s mail. They were acting out of concern for her welfare.
	+ Siren’s **Loophole Abuse** to get around Perfume curse is the same thing that would of happened if she had attempted to get the cure herself a **Fusion Dance** between her original and cursed form.
	+ Chocolate isn’t fond of Akane she’s in love with her. Utterly and desperately in love with her.
* **Do Wrong Right**: Kodachi called Perfume out for declaring her intention to kill them, thus giving them a chance to escape.
* **Does Not Know His Own Strength**:
	+ Cologne pointing out how easily she dealt with the Hentai Horde confused Shampoo
	+ In actuality the power of Tatewaki's cursed form added her own natural skill in battle to make her an utterly invincible warrior.
* **Don't Celebrate Just Yet**: Cologne hadn’t turned off the **Shock and Awe** punishment yet when Ranma started bragging about his perfection.
* **Double Standard Rape (Female on Female)**: An in universe example **Played for Laughs**. When Akane told her teammate Sugo that she was having love problems she rallied Akane’s various fans and other teammates to find this person and beat them because no one says no to Akane. Luckily Akane was able to solve the problem before they could.
* **Dramatic Irony**: Kuno is unaware that Ranma and Kodachi have already slept together.
	+ Ranma commented upon not wanting to ask his grandfather for help due to how meddling and scary he is, unaware that Cologne is Katsuhito’s daughter.
* **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.
* **Dumbass Has a Point**: Chocolate doesn’t wear underwear because they tend to itch and given that they seemed to randomly disappear she made the right choice.

E

* **Early Installment Weirdness**: While Siren was created by Dreiser Frost wasn’t so she doesn’t exist in this universe.
* **Electric Torture**: The slave amulet does this.
* **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.
	+ Akane told Sugo Yumi that she was seeing Dr. Akihito because of a love problem. Not knowing that she had just feel in **Love at First Sight** Yumi assumed the worse.
* **Even Evil Has Loved Ones**: Kodachi may do many things that waver on the illegal but she would never use her brother.
* **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.
	+ Taro is used to seeing kawaii things, being around Pokemon all his life and all, but poke-Ranma was too much. Not even Siren can take amusement in the affect something so idiotic as the Pokefist has on Ranma.
* **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.
	+ Siren will help Perfume get rid of her curse not cure it.
* **Explain, Explain, Oh Crap**: Even though they told him they were dating Ryoga didn’t put two and two together that Ranma was the one who stole from the Amazons until he started to explain why he was looking for Perfume.

F

* **Face Fault**: No one expected Ranma and Kodachi to agree with Cologne’s deal.
* **Failed a Spot Check**: Soun missed that Genma wrote that he had two sons in the post card he sent.
	+ Ranma didn’t read the warning in the Pokefist manual.
* **Fantasy Kitchen Sink**: This story really plays this **Fan Verse** for all its worth.
* **Financial Abuse**: After Hitome died Godai squandered all of the money she left the family and when it was gone he turned to less legal means of gaining monetary funds. That was when social services discovered their state of near bankruptcy.
* **The First Cut Is the Deepest**: Mousse’s life as a **Stalker with a Crush** really hit him hard when he was transformed into the **World's Most Beautiful Woman**. After a life of being rejected and having Shampoo finally drive it into her skull why she would never love her, being admired for nothing but her looks was a **Berserk Button** especially since that vanity is one of the reasons for her current predicament.

**Chocolate**: *Do you know that no one has ever liked me before? The first time I really felt liked was when those guys began chasing me but I inside I was just... disgusted by the whole thing. Then I met you and I figured that you were like them. I mean, why else would someone like you want me?*
* **Flash Step**: Ryoga did this in his battle with Ukyo.
* **Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling**: This is Ranma and Ryoga’s dynamic.
* **For the Evulz**: Ranma and Kodachi’s stealing from the Amazons. They hadn’t even fenced what they stole when Shampoo and Cologne caught up to them.
* **For Want of a Nail**: Nabiki not Akane is the heir of the Tendo school
	+ Kodachi and Tatewaki ended up in foster care.
	+ Social serviced took Tatewaki and Kodachi away from Godai.
	+ Ranma is a charming con artist with a killer smile; Akane is the nicest and most kawaii girl in all of Nerima; while Nabiki is considered the violent one in the Tendo family. But let’s not forget about Genma. Lucky him, he changes into a big fat flying pig.
	+ Relationship between the adults changed drastically as well such as the fact that Genma married both Nodoka and Atsuko.
	+ Kimiko didn’t die until Kasumi was in high school in this universe
	+ Hitome wasn’t crazy but Godai was a **Gold Digger**.
	+ Cologne seemed to have played a more active role in the relationships between Soun, genma, Silk, and Comb.
	+ Ukyo was born male
	+ Frost doesn’t exist in this universe because Siren never took an apprentice
	+ Instead of being freed by a lightning strike the area where Happosai was trapped was turned into a hot spring resort and the resulting water pressure eventually crushed the rock blocking the cave.
	+ This is the cause behind Ranma’s personality. He has the usual confidence of his counterparts yet being raised by his mother means that he also doesn’t have their usual insecurities caused by his father. Genma marrying both Nodoka and Atsuka also means that Ranma has a bigger family to help reinforce that confidence. Finally Genma trained both Ranma and Ryoga so Ranma also doesn’t have the insecurities of his counterparts who was replaced as heir by another character.
	+ Akari is a Pokemon gym leader
	+ Happosai baptized Taro in the spring of drowned Clafairy.
	+ Happosai never gave the Seven Lucky Gods scroll to anyone.
* **Frame-Up**: Siren and Ranma framed Happosai for stealing everyone’s panties.
* **A Friend in Need**: Tsubasa’s belief in karma was precisely why he was so determined to keep an eye on Ukyo. Who knows what sort of karmic damage Ukyo might do if Tsubasa wasn't around to wean him away from his more harsh plans?
* **From Bad to Worse**: Soun thought that Kasumi was sick, and then Akane offered to make breakfast.
* **Full-Frontal Assault**: This is a given due to how often Perfume ends up in her cursed form and the fact Ranma and Kodachi are her **Berserk Button**. She often never thinks about grabbing clothing when she attacks them.

G

* **Gag Boobs**: Mouuse-chan’s breast are even bigger then Shampoo’s.
* **Gag Penis**: Ranma if Akane’s comment is anything to go by.
* **Gender Flip**: Ukyo was born male in this universe.
* **Gone Horribly Right**: Taking Shampoo’s words to heart Chocolate decided to do everything in her power to make her happy. After overhearing that Shampoo had developed feelings for Tatewaki she opted for aggressive matchmaking because if Shampoo wanted Tatewaki then Tatewaki is what she would get.
* **Green-Eyed Monster**: Kensuke didn’t like that after 15 years his wife still blushed like a school girl when Ukyo flirted with her.
	+ Ryoga really didn’t enjoy seeing Ukyo flirt with his fiancée.

H

* **Half-Human Hybrid**: Siren merged Perfume with her pixie curse.
* **Hammerspace**: Despite her naked status Perfume somehow produced an Amazon law book from out of nowhere and handed it Kasumi.
* **Hard Head**: Dr Akihito **NoSell:No Sold** Chocolate’s cannonball.
* **Heel Realization**: Ukyo became disgusted with himself for using Nabiki in his revenge against Ryoga once he realized that she reminded him of **The Lost Lenore**.
* **Help Mistaken for Attack**:
	+ Not understanding what he was talking about Chocolate mistook Dr Akihito’s advice for him insulting her.
	+ Before that she attacked him because she wasn’t used to relationship drama being a **Stalker with a Crush** all her life.
	+ Both Tatewaki and Ryoga tried to stop Ranma from learning the Pokefist, but he thought they were just afraid of the power he’d receive upon mastering the technique and wanted it for themselves.
* **Hidden Depths**: Nabiki is a fan of martial arts movies and has been collecting them since she was twelve.
	+ Nabiki's second most secret vice is a never ending passion for Madonna and her music.
* **Hospital Hottie**: Dressed in a pair of black pants and a white silk shirt that is opened to reveal his well toned and tanned chest, Dr. Akihito looks more like a movie star than a psychiatrist.
* **Hypocrite**: Ukyo hates Kodachi because she manipulated events to make it seem like he cheated on Makoto. However to get revenge on Ryoga he plans on seducing Nabiki.

I

* **I Am Not Left-Handed**: Kodachi didn’t use any weapons when she spared with Nabiki.
* **I Am Not Weasel**: Shampoo initially thought Tatewaki had been transformed into a really ugly chicken only to be corrected by the guide that he fell into the spring of drowned phoenix.
* **I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me**: Ukyo doesn’t understand why Nabiki would like him other then him being a movie star. Finding this out actually started to usurp his revenge plot against Ryoga.
* **I Want My Beloved to Be Happy**: Ryoga thinking that Nabiki would reject him after seeing his **Superpowered Evil Side** gave her his blessing to be with Ukyo a movie star who doesn’t have any of his hang-ups. Luckily Ukyo’s **Love Confession** only confused Nabiki and while it was too soon for her to properly express her feeling she knew she didn’t want Ryoga to leave her.
* **Improbable Sports Skills**: Akane’s skill in martial arts transfers over to this trope in this universe.
* **In Spite of a Nail**: Ranma is still afraid of Kodachi’s laugh.
	+ Akane still accidentally walked in on Ranma-kun.
	+ The Seven Lucky Gods scroll still landed in Akane’s hands when Happosai casually threw it out.
	+ The Hentai Horde was eventually created **For Want of a Nail|only this time by Mousse and against Shampoo**.
		- Averted when it was disbanded after one battle.
	+ Despite Ukyo being born male he still doesn’t end up with Makoto, though due to a **Stalker with a Crush** not an **Unsettling Gender Reveal**.
* **Incredibly Lame Pun**: When the Hentai Horde finally found Grocery Bag or in actuality just a Grocery Bag they asked him if he wanted his body bag to be paper or plastic.
* **Inexplicable Language Fluency**: Kasumi can understand Perfume in her cursed form.
* **Innocent Fanservice Girl**: Mousse doesn’t know what a bra is or why she should wear one.
* **Insane Troll Logic**:
	+ Akane handcuffed herself to Chocolate so that she wouldn’t run away.
	+ It was actually the Dr. Akihito’s idea
	+ According to Akane no one crazy comes from China.
	+ Insecure Love Interest: Whenever some boy compliments Chocolate she thinks they're stupid for liking her. Even a little part of her even thinks Akane is stupid for liking her.
	+ Furinkan defeated Tomobiki in the practice match but only by a hundred and seven points. Yet Akane considered that one of their lowest victory margins and decided she was definitely going to have to increase the number of practices for the team.
* **Instantly Proven Wrong**: Nabiki initially thought that Perfume was responsible for everyone’s panties being stolen due to hearing her in the hoard. Shampoo managed to calm her down a little by pointing out that there was no reason for her to do this. Just as Nabiki pointed out that Perfume was the only one they could hear Happosai began screaming in excitement.
	+ Ranma didn’t want to reveal his curse to the school until he found away to profit off of it. So when he was splashed he hoped the students watching him and Kodachi missed it because she was blocking him. A thunderous crash resulting from the entire crowd of students simultaneously fainting was his answer.
	+ Ryoga was surprised at how quite Nerima was having heard the rumors that it was a **Cloudcuckooland** worse then Tomobiki. Offended since he grew up there Tatewaki told him that Nerima is a fine district to live in, but before he could say anything more on the matter a truck with the words 'Akane-chan's Volunteer Biohazard Unit' written on the side of it went blazing past them on the road leaving them stunned in its wake.
	+ Just as Ukyo said that it'll be a nice change to be somewhere more normal than a movie set Happosai ran by being chased by a group of angry athletes led by Akane and Chocolate.
	+ Just as Ukyo was trying to assure Tsubasa that he was his partner not side kick the director called him over because they needed to shoot a sidekick role.
* **Insult Backfire**: When Genma called Ranma the **Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling|foolish sibling** he fired back that **Like Father, Like Son**.
* **Internal Reveal**: Ranma and Kodachi were the last to learn about Kasumi becoming Perfume’s airen.
	+ Ranma and Kodachi found out about Tatewaki’s curse in chapter 8
* **I Reject Your Reality**: Akane refused to accept the possibility of a non cooking existence.
* **Irony**: Happosai once stole the treasures of the Amazons as revenge for being rejected by Cologne. Three hundred years ago his grandson Ranma and his girlfriend Kodachi stole their treasures as well.
	+ Since Ranma didn’t fall into the spring of drowned girl her cursed form didn’t look like Cologne’s sister so she wasn’t aware that they were related.
	+ Akane met Perfume after she had been flushed down the toilet. It occurred to her that it was quite ironic that a girl with a name like Perfume could smell so badly.
* **It Makes Sense in Context**: The entire story is this since it realize on a lot of Altered Destinies tropes that readers who haven’t read the other stories in the **Fan Verse** or at least the works of Jim Bader would be unaware of.

K

* **Kawaiiko**: Akane is so damned friendly that it somehow makes her impossibly likable.
* **Kick the Dog**: Ranma and Kodachi stealing Amazonian treasures one of which was a heirloom from Perfume’s mother.
* **Knight Templar Big Brother**: Upon learning that Ranma and Kodachi were dating Tatewaki’s first thought was to kill him.
* **The Knights Who Say Squee**: Nabiki is a huge fan of Ukyo’s.
* **Knowledge Broker**: Ranma and Kodachi are always up on the latest bets, gossip, and scams around Furinkan.

L

* **Ladykiller in Love**: Ranma was a real lathorio in middle school which is why Tatewaki was so furious upon finding out that he was dating his sister, and so surprised to learn that not only had Ranma stopped his Casanova ways since dating her, but that he had courted her for a year.
* **Last-Name Basis**: Averted Tatewaki goes by his first name.
* **Late to the Realization**: Nabiki was the last to realize that the engagement was about to be switched to Ryoga giving her sisters the chance to use her as a **Sacrificial Lamb**.
* **Law Enforcement, Inc.**: The hotel Chocolate was staying at was forced to add extra security to keep her more exuberant admirers away. Having had experience with this Akane suggested that they hire from Junko's Bodyguards Etc over Linlan's Protect You Tough?
* **Leaning on the Fourth Wall**: When Shampoo didn’t remember the guys she sent to the hospital one of them reminded her that it happened back in chapter 8. One of them even referred to the group by the chapters name to get her to remember. This started an argument as the others didn’t think they were idiots.
* **Lethal Chef**: For the past two years an actor has been called in to deal with Akane’s cooking. Everyone tells her that he is an exorcist and that her food was possessed not having the heart to tell her the truth.
* **LikeFatherLikeSon|Like Mother, Like Daughter**: Atsuko and Nodoka recognized Nabiki as Kimiko’s daughter by the way she gave them a **What the Hell, Hero?** for kidnapping Ranma and Ryoga.
* **Line-of-Sight Name**:
	+ This is how Chocolate Mousse came to be. When the boy had asked her name she started to say her real name but then remembered she was here on a secret mission. She mustn't let Shampoo know of her presence, so that meant she shouldn't give out her real name. And looking around her hotel room that was overflowing with gifts her eyes had locked on the huge pile of chocolate she'd received.
	+ While disguised she called herself Grocery Bag.
* **Locked Out of the Loop**: Soun wasn’t aware that Genma married both Nodoka and Atsuko
* **Loony Fan**: This is why romantic interaction is against the rules at Furinkan. When her fan club found out about Akane kissing her boyfriend they destroyed the school in their misery. The school officials decided after that it was safer for Akane and anyone else not to kiss on school grounds.
* **The Lost Lenore**: According to Ukyo Kodachi’s antics forced him to break up with the only girl he ever loved.

M

* **Made of Iron**: Ranma was struck by lightning 50 times before passing out from exertion.
* **Made Out to Be a Jerkass**: Ukyo manipulated Ryoga in to activating his

**Superpowered Evil Side** in front of Nabiki which combined with his usual hang-ups almost caused him to invoke **I Want My Beloved to Be Happy**. While Nabiki didn’t hold it against Ryoga she still made him apologize not aware of what happened.

* + Averted she was going to ask Ukyo to apologize to Ryoga as well.
* **Mage Species**:
	+ Ranma’s cursed form which is why Cologne put a **Restraining Bolt** on him before he realized it.
	+ Ranma-chan’s general magical power without any training or even understanding of her abilities is almost as powerful as Siren’s an archmage.
* **Man, I Feel Like a Woman**: Mousse was thrown into the spring of drowned girl by Shampoo.
* **Major Injury Underreaction**: Ranma ignored the many shard of glass in his back so he wouldn’t look bad in front of Kodachi. Luckily Siren was there to heal him.
* **Master of Disguise**: Averted. Disguises are the only way Chocolate can find some peace and quiet while she conducted her secret mission to help Shampoo's every dream come true. It consists of wearing a huge black trench coat, black fedora hat, and a strange Groucho Marx mask. If you asked her she would say it was ingenious. But if you asked any of the people staring at her they would probably say it was ridiculous. Because if anything, Chocolate was drawing more attention to herself. Before that she wore a grocery bag on her head.
* **Mayfly-December Romance**: Siren once married someone a few hundred years younger then her not that he complained.
* **Metaphorically True**: It was said that Shampoo's arrival on the scene of Chocolate and Akane confessing their love for each other heralded the most memorable moment in Furinkan High's not so glorious history (for that day at least) and this statement was certainly true. Because when Chocolate and Akane decided to resume their activities from earlier in the tree but now in front of a rather large crowd, Shampoo was there, and she, along with everyone else who watched the pair, found their interaction very memorable to say the least.
	+ Kasumi defeated Perfume by accidentally dropping a bottle of vinegar that she slipped on.
* **The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body**: Downplayed. Perfume is still herself while in her cursed form but she is susceptible to a pixie’s instincts. Such as being unable to stop herself from flying into a bug stopper no matter how much she tried.
* **Misplaced Retribution**: The group of men that Mousse sent after Shampoo, only for them to receive a **No-Holds-Barred Beatdown** headed to China to enact revenge on the man who tricked them. It turns out that there really is a man named Grocery Bag the **Line-of-Sight Name** Mousse used who lived the village of Joketsuzoku.
* **Mistaken for Cheating**: Kodachi set this up between her and Ukyo so that Makoto would break up with him.
* **Mistaken for Exhibit**: Tatewaki and Ukyo’s duel was mistaken for a publicity stunt.
* **Mistaken for Subculture**: The flight crew mistook Shampoo for a punk rocker with dyed hair.
* **Multi-Melee Master**: In addition to being a ninja (though the narrative doesn’t really go into it), Ukyo has studied all sorts of martial arts from the weaponless styles to the ones where you fight with any weapon available ever since becoming an actor.
* **Mundane Solution**: To keep from being hounded by a mob of men Mousse put a grocery bag over her head.
* **Mushroom Samba**: Akane thought that the naked guy she found in the furo and the flying pig was a result of the Coach's new iron supplement pills messing with her brain.
* **My God, What Have I Done?**: Yumi tried not to SweatDrop upon being told that Akane’s love problem was that her love interest was shy.
* **My Greatest Second Chance**: After calming down Mousse saw his curse as this.

**Mousse**: *I was a horrible as a man. But as a girl I can start my life over... I can be a new person. A better person.*
N

* **Naked First Impression**: Perfume repeated has this because of her curse.
* **Names to Run Away From Really Fast**:
	+ Katsuhito is described by Ranma as even worse then his grandmother.
	+ Perfume, the Enforcer of Joketsuzoku. Feared by all who knew her back home in China for not only her skill in combat but her bad temper and tendency to say things more vulgar than any hardened criminal would.
* **Nature Lover**: Tatewaki enjoys discussing nature
* **Nice Job Breaking It, Hero**:
	+ Ryoga trying to warn Tatewaki about Jusenkyo ended up distracting him long enough for Mousse to knock him into one of the springs. Kuno himself lampshaded that it wasn’t really an ideal time to talk.
		- By teasing Ranma about his greatest secret in order to get him to listen to their father he helped Genma and Ranma stick him with the engagement.
	+ Mousse created the Hentai Horde by telling Shampoo’s admirer’s about the kiss of marriage law.
* **Nice Job Fixing It, Villain**: Ukyo running away from Kodachi was how he ended up doing his first movie.
* **No Good Deed Goes Unpunished**: Dr Akihito gave Akane the advice she needed to invoke her and Chocolate’s **Relationship Upgrade**. When Chocolate finally met him she attacked him for causing all of that trouble.
* **Noodle Incident**:
	+ Akane saw Superman once.
	+ Last year an Indian prince kept showing up to try and get Akane to marry him.
* **Not Helping Your Case**:
	+ Genma’s even evil has standards defense for why he didn’t teach Ranma the Pokefist.

**Genma**: *I didn't make the boy do anything! Frankly, I'm insulted that you'd think I'd make him learn something as useless and stupid as the Pokefist! If I was going to have him learn a dangerous technique that psychologically scarred him then it would at least be a useful one!*
**Ryoga**: *Uhm... that didn't sound so good, Dad.*
* + Zig-zagged. Ryoga walked in on Akane and Chocolate in the middle of their Twister game, in a very compromising position that implied some rather naughty things. Of course the naughty things were accentuated by the fact that Akane happened to be kissing a dazed Chocolate.

O

* **Obviously Evil**: Nabiki knew what Kodachi was the second she started talking.
* **Oh Crap**: Tochi when Atsuko told him she and Nodoka wanted to surprise Genma.
	+ After spending the night with Perfume, Kasumi woke up to find her family gathered in her bedroom.
	+ Be Dea after Siren made her presence known revealing that she had heard that Perfume had found an airen.
	+ Chocolate when Akane tried to get them to take a bath together and she couldn’t come up with a good excuse for why she couldn’t do it as well as the fact that they were still handcuffed together.
	+ As Chocolate was finishing unleashing her **Pervert Revenge Mode** on Happosai she realized that Tatewaki and Shampoo were watching her. While Tatewaki didn’t recognize her Shampoo sure did.
* **Once Killed a Man with a Noodle Implement**:
	+ Discussed. Ukyo knows how to to kill someone with a spoon?

**Ukyo**: *I may be a movie star. But I still know how to kick ass. In fact, ever since I got this gig I've studied all sorts of martial arts from the weaponless styles to the ones where you fight with any weapon available. Did you know that it's possible to kill someone with a spoon?*
* + Upon hearing this Ranma asked to be taught.
* **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.
	+ Usagi is Ranma and Ryoga’s cousin who is friends and teammates with Makoto Ukyo’s lost Lenore.
	+ Kodachi once stalked Ukyo, Ranma and ryoga are old friends, and Ranma, Ryoga and Tatewaki went to middle school together.
* **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.
	+ Soun freaked out when Kasumi decided to sleep in, thinking she was sick. He freaked out even more when Genma pointed out she hadn’t prepared dinner the night before.
* **Open-Minded Parent**: While Soun freaked out upon finding Perfume in bed with Kasumi, once he calmed down all he asked was that she always treat Kasumi well. When Perfume did he welcomed her to the family with open arms.
* **Operation: Jealousy**:
	+ Kodachi did this to Ukyo and Makoto in the past.
	+ Mousse created the Hentai Horde hoping that when Tatewaki saw how many admirerer’s Shampoo had he'll get jealous and claim her as his own.
* **Our Souls Are Different**: Every person has a soul and every soul has an energy, that energy is distinct, like the person. Call it a spiritual fingerprint if you will.
* **Out-of-Context Eavesdropping**:
	+ Shampoo overheard a group of boys talking about protecting Chocolate and wondered if Japanese boys had some sort of obsession with their candy and keeping others from eating it.
	+ Genma and Soun overheard Akane and Chocolate talking about making ice cream sundays and mistook it for sex. The only reason Soun didn’t go full **Papa Wolf** was because he was stopped **Makes Just as Much Sense in Context|by a clafairy riding a taros crashing into the kitchen while being chased by ranma**.
* **Out-of-Character Moment**: When Ranma told Siren about his promise with Happosai the moment he said his name the normally carefree and easygoing Siren formed a face of absolute fury.
* **Ow, My Body Part!**: Played with. Yoshi thinks he has overies no matter how many people tell him otherwise.

P

* **Pair the Spares**: Ranma and Kodachi laughed for days when they found out that each other's first paramours ended up as a couple.
* **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.
* **Pervert Revenge Mode**: When Siren suddenly groped her Kasumi did what years of living in a dojo and with Nabiki had trained her into doing.
* **The Phoenix**: Mousse threw kuno into the spring of drowned phoenix.
* **Pint-Sized Powerhouse**: Perfume’s merged form is barely over five feet tall.
* **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.
* **Properly Paranoid**: Genma makes Soun go with him to bar every night so Ranma can’t overhear them talking even though they don’t order anything and they just make idle chit chat. He is also preparing for when the inevitable trouble starts.

R

* **Rage Breaking Point**:
	+ Learning that Ranma, Ryoga and Genma were at Soun’s all this time yet only called when they needed something was this for Nodoka.
	+ It takes a lot for Ryoga to get mad, thanks to his mothers training, but when he does it's something to be feared.

**Ranma**: *Back home in Juuban nobody messes with him or Mom because of the few times they've lost their tempers. When they're angry they become a force of nature that's almost unstoppable.*
* + - For those who aren’t aware this is his Oni dna being unleashed.
* **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.
	+ Akane is famous in the athletics community and there are hundreds of people who want to sponsor her. She can't take on sponsors since she's still underage and isn't a professional athlete yet. So instead they give their bribes to the school.
	+ A mob a men attacked Shampoo with no explination she immediately put them down with brutal efficiency.
	+ Godai Yusaku is a good teacher. At least by Furinkan High standards as he can handle most any strange goings on with a nominally cool head and easy attitude. But even a good teacher can't teach and keep the attention of the class when one of his students is constantly getting struck by lightning during their lessons.
* **Real After All**: Kimiko used to tell Kasumi stories about pixies but she never thought they actually existed.
* **Reasonable Authority Figure**: Principle Hiro Ukita, as long as there is a good explanation he is willing to forgive students for their indiscretion. He let Ranma off with a warning for disrupting class once he learned it was because of a **Restraining Bolt** that kept attracting lighting, he forgive Shampoo for her **No-Holds-Barred Beatdown** of her classmate upon finding out that they attacked her first. All in all he is the complete opposite of Godai Kuno.
* **I Resemble That Remark**: The hospitalized idiots argued that they weren’t idiots and than Yoshi once again complained that his overies still hurt.
* **Restraining Bolt**: The red amulet Cologne placed on Ranma’s neck is given to outsiders introduced to the tribe for reasons other than marriage. Not only did it force Kodachi and Ranma to reveal to Cologne who they truly cared about it can’t be taken off without her permission or you will be struck by lightning.
* **The Reveal**:
	+ Mara is helping Ukyo mess with Ryoga.
	+ Played with as it was only hinted by Siren, but her stating that Cologne is hiding her heritage does suggest that she is Jurian.
* **Reverse Psychology**:
	+ Nabiki suggested Ryoga use this to help with his direction problem.
	+ DJ Kamikaze Kenjiko later used it to get Nabiki and Ryoga to sing because nobody insults Nabiki.
* **Right for the Wrong Reasons**: Dr Akihito correctly deduced that Chocolate was uncomfortable with her own sexuality. However he mistook it for **Gayngst** unaware that she was a **Gender Bender**.
* **Roaring Rampage of Revenge**: A group of average Nerimians managed to make it to Joketzuko to get revenge on Grocery Bag.
* **Rhymes on a Dime**: The Okonomiyaki elves though this is done intentionally to get their point across.

S

* **The Scapegoat**: After Tatewaki and Ranma’s **Kung Shui** it would be rumored that the combatants and Cologne who had run through there with Shampoo and Kodachi after them had been hired by Madame Francine or Signora Maria as an attempt to ruin their rival's profitable lunch hour business.
* **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.
	+ Ranma and kodachi quickly became this as well.
* **Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers**: Siren's habit of ignoring most of the rules that apply to the Elders in our village. She simply doesn't act as someone her age should. Even shifting her appearance so it no longer reveals her inward age, something against Amazonian customs.
* **Skewed Priorities**: In the first chapter Ranma’s only focus was getting a hot bath leaving Kodachi to smooth things over with the tendo’s.
	+ Akane was more concerned about Kiren ruining her present for Chocolate then the fact he was kidnapping her.
* **Second Law of Gender Bending**: Mousse decided to fully embrace the curse
* **Selective Obliviousness**: Tatewaki sometimes reverts back to his most simplistic state of mind where he hears only what he wants to hear and interprets it in only the way that he wants to interpret it. Upon hearing the rumors about him and Shampoo being mistaken for sex he only heard that **Knowledge Broker|Ranma** was there not that Shampoo was the one who gave it.
* **Self-Deprecation**: This is how Genma convinced Soun to switch the engagement to Ryoga, Ranma is too much like him and would he want one of his daughters to marry him.
* **Separated by a Common Language**: The reason it took so long for Mousse to find Shampoo is because many hotels have Shampoos, Perfumes, and Colognes in them.
* **Serial Escalation**: Ranma claims that Genma has engaged him to a billion women. Though genma says that it was only five
* **Serious Business**:
	+ For Akane it’s sports.
	+ When you go up or are up on stage at a Karaoke bar you sing.
* **Shaggy Dog Story**: Perfume saw Siren’s **Loophole Abuse|suggestion** to rid her of her curse as this as it meant she would always turn into a pixie the only difference being that she would be human sized.
* **She Is Not My Girlfriend**: Ukyo is adamant that Kodachi was a **Stalker with a Crush** not his girlfriend.
* **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.
* **Show Within a Show**: Ukyo’s various movie franchises, the names of which came about with the help of Red Death are pretty obvious movie parodies. The Bakers Peal series: (Dr. So?, From Ramen With Noodles, Riceball, You Only Cook Twice, On the Emperor's Secret Sauce (Being filmed.)), the Okonomiyaki Jones trilogy (Okonomiyaki Jones, Okonomiyaki Jones and the Temple of 'Shrooms, Okonomiyaki Jones and the Last Crepe), the Cook Hard trilogy (Cook Hard, Cook Harder, Cook Hard with a Vengeance).
* **Sickeningly Sweethearts**: Ryoga quickly put a stop to Ranma and Kodachi’s affections upon being told that they had finally found her brother before it made him sick.
* **Sins of Our Fathers**: The reason Mara is helping Ukyo is because of his unfortunate happenstance in what relatives he has, though she never specifies whether she’s talking about Ganglot, Cybelle, Razor, or Atsuko.
* **Sir Swearsalot**: Perfume much to Kasumi’s frustration.
* **Skewed Priorities**: Akane focused so much on being proven right that there was a girl named Perfume looking for Nabiki that she failed to notice her sister hanging outside the window.
* **So Beautiful It's a Curse**:
	+ Chocolate Mousse keeps getting chased by rioting men and when she ended up in the hospital the male doctors tried to forcibly keep her there so they could examine her body until Dr Umi chased them off.
	+ Things became even worse once Happosai was freed since when it came to a lady as pretty as she was, Happosai would endure any assault for just a chance of being able to steal a quick feel from her.
* **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.
	+ Ranma can only learn magics as an elf but to do so he hardly needs to remain trapped as one. Cologne did that just to mess with him however since Ranma is far less self-conscious about his manhood then his counterparts he really doesn’t mind.
* **Speak in Unison**: When they finally found the courage to ask each other out Akane and Chocolate found this happening to them again and again. It would seem that **Kawaiiko** girls think alike.
* **Speaks Fluent Animal**: Thanks to his curse Taro can talk to Pokemon both in his cursed form and his original form.
* **Stalker with a Crush**: Kodachi was this to Ukyo in the past.
* **Stating the Simple Solution**:
	+ While everyone was discussing how best to punish Happosai Tatewaki suggested that they just call the police.
		- However it was shot down as the **Police Are Useless**.
	+ Tsubasa called Ukyo out for his **Complexity Addiction**, asking him why he doesn’t just beat up Ryoga.
* **Statuesque Stunner**: Ranma chan is nearly six feet tall
* **Stealth Hi Bye**: Akemi taught Tatewaki how to do this.
* **Stripperiffic**: Shampoo turned her school uniform into this.
* **Stubborn Mule**: Ranma’s status as the **Determinator** is the biggest sign if anything that he isn’t **In Name Only**. Despite the fact he is struck by lightning every time he tries he continues attempting to remove Cologne’s **Restraining Bolt**.
* **Stunned Silence**: The denizens of nerima upon seeing Ranma-chan and Kodachi fighting Genma.
* **Stupid Evil**: Ranma and Kodachi consider Genma to be this due to his irritating tendency of engaging his sons off to different girls all for stupid things such as a free meal. Something that they could easily scam for him.
* **Super Empowering**: Tatewaki turns into the legendary phoenix of our mountain home. While in his cursed form, if he's placed on a warrior's head, he will make that warrior invincible in battle.
* **Superpowered Evil Side**: Ryoga is **The Berserker** worse than even Atsuko and that's pretty damn bad.
* **Sustained Misunderstanding**: Shampoo can’t put two and two together that Chocolate was the name of the girl that the boys were chasing.
* **Sword and Fist**: Ranma practices this style in contrast to his brother who fights in pure hand to hand.
* **Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist**: Though she was trying to kill Ranma and Kodachi, the horrors Perfume went through in trying to accomplish that takes made it impossible not to sympathize with her.

T

* **Thanks For the Mammary**:
	+ After exhausting themselves playing twister Akane used Chocolate's ample breasts as her own personal pillow.
	+ Siren introduced herself by groping Kasumi
* **This Is Your Premise on Drugs**: Dreiser really test how far they can take The Altered Destinies premise.
* **Tranquil Fury**: Ryoga while he is **The Berserker**.
* **Trapped by Mountain Lions**: Ryoga and Tatewaki are introduced having just escaped the Musk.
* **Troll**: Seeing what would happen next is usually the reason why most people do what they do in Nerima.

U

* **Underestimating Badassery**: Nabiki initially believed Kodachi to be the ringleader. While tRanma-chan appeared to have a good head on her shoulders she did not seem to have the clever wit of her companion.
* **Unfortunate Names**: The reason Taro isn’t an official trainer is because in order to join the Pokemon league he would have to write down his full name.
* **Ungrateful Bastard**:
	+ Kasumi discovered Perfume in the dustpan, and cleaned her up the first thing she did upon regaining consciousness was curse Kasumi out and accuse her of kidnapping, unaware that Kasumi could understand her.
	+ Genma showing up to deliver his lunch angered Ryoga who had just invoked **Cue the Flying Pigs** trope.
* **Unprovoked Pervert Payback**: Averted the basketball team was so distracted by the fact that their panties and gym shorts suddenly disappeared that they didn’t even notice that Tatewaki saw them naked from the waist down.
* **Unwanted Assistance**: Sometimes it's the people who are trying to do good deeds that are the most dangerous of all.
* **Unwitting Instigator of Doom**:
	+ After Kodachi and Ranma stayed there the hotel hired a large amount of security causing Perfume to take a lot of time to get into it.
	+ Hiroshi and Daisuke asking Tatewaki about the rumors of him and Shampoo caused him to jump to the conclusion that Ranma started them.

V

* **Violently Protective Girlfriend**: Unfortunately for the Hentai Horde the real Grocery Bag has this

W

* **What the Hell, Hero?**: Kodachi called Shampoo and her brother out for being so calm after Nodoka and Atsuko kidnapped Genma, Ryoga, and Ranma.
* **What You Are in the Dark**: The reason Akane fell in love with Chocolate is because she likes the real her. All her fans have this idol they've created and when she first saw Chocolate she realized they were **Birds of a Feather**. People chase after what they think they see but it isn't really them. Akane likes Chocolate for the same reason for what she sees not for what they see.
* **You Know What You Did**:
	+ Played with. Ukyo’s reply to Ryoga asking him what he did to earn his hate was that if he didn’t know he wasn’t going to tell him.
	+ Played straight later when Ukyo did say it to him.
