* [[Magic A Is Magic A]]: While it has many flavors, there is a standard magic system used by mages throughout the inhabited worlds. Others exist, but are mainly known as niche systems or are "lost" or "forgotten" and represented only by ancient artifacts that use them. And then there's [[Wrong-Context Magic|the system Ranma and Kasumi came up with for themselves]]. |

** The ''really'' technologically-advanced civilizations, when they don't actually employ literal [[Magitek]]. |

* [[Magical Girl]]s: Ranma and Kasumi end up living in Minato Ward, Tokyo, which is Magical Girl Ground Zero. And because of their power levels and their insistence that the other girls in Minato behave responsibly, they effectively end up the Queens of All Magical Girls. |

* [[Comic Book Movies Don't Use Codenames|Magical Girl Fanfics Don't Use Codenames]]: Even though early on the story makes it clear that many (though not all) of Minato's magical girls have [[Secret Identity|secret identities]] and use codenames, Pixelwriter1 goes out of his/her way to ''never'' refer to any of them -- especially the Sailor Senshi -- by anything but their proper names, or aliases that could be normal names. In the one case where it ever comes close, Minako's powered form is only referred to generically as "Magical Girl Minako" instead of "Sailor Venus". And the Senshi as a whole are only referred to with terms like "that other group". Initially this was because Pixelwriter1 didn't intend a full-blown [[Crossover]] and was using them as [[Easter Eggs]]/[[Cameo]]s, but after that subplot took off, it seems to have migrated to something approaching an [[In-Universe]] practice. |
