Line 87:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: What Ranma and Kasumi -- and eventually Nabiki, Aiko, Tamiko, Fumiko and Misaki -- are able to do to even the best-trained normal human troops.
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: One of Yori's distinctive features -- justified as her backstory notes that she has a trace of demon blood.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Nabiki starts out as this, as a result of the events of the prequel story, and completely defrosts before very long. She keeps up a bit of a facadefaçade of her old self with her family.
* [[Far SideDeserted Island]]: "Aiko Island", the Sisterhood's private South Pacific "relaxation zone", is a realistican versioninstance of this trope measuring a few hundred feet long, with just a few palm trees. However, it does have a great beach and a lagoon for swimming.
* [[Doomy Dooms of Doom]]: Starting not far past the midpoint of the existing material the core cast jokingly refer to themselves as "The Sisterhood of Doom", a name spontaneously coined by Rei, which has become the semi-official name of the setting as a whole.
** Ranma calls the manila folder Nabiki uses as prop for Ms. Aoyama "The Folder of Doom".
Line 105 ⟶ 106:
* [[Fanon]]: Implies the "ki manifestation" explanation for Akane's [[Hyperspace Mallet]]; plays with the fanon "psychobitch" characterization for Akane by embracing it wholeheartedly, then giving it a cause that can be (and is) cured.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: In addition to the various Magical Girl groups who have an automatic "Not human, kill!" reaction to all demons, there's Robert Davenport, one-time British Minister for Magic, who clearly regards anyone who isn't a mage as some kind of subhuman creature.
* [[Far Side Island]]: "Aiko Island", the Sisterhood's private South Pacific "relaxation zone", is a realistic version of this trope measuring a few hundred feet long, with just a few palm trees. However, it does have a great beach and lagoon for swimming.
* [[Foreshadowing]]:
** "We’ll never go to the Moon."
