Desperately Seeking Ranma: Difference between revisions

Line 87:

* [[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 facade of her old self with her family.

* [[Doomy Dooms of Doom]]: ~~The~~ core cast jokingly refer to themselves as "The Sisterhood of Doom", which has become the semi-official name of the setting as a whole.

* [[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.

* [[Doorstopper]]: 98 chapters and almost a million and a half words as of May 2016, and it appears that the main plot arc is only now kicking into gear.

* [[The Dreaded]]: Ms. Aoyama, to just about anyone who's ever met her. And a few who haven't. Yet.

Line 206:

** The civilization that produced the Silence Glaive.

** Whatever unknown culture produced Aiko, Tamiko, Fumiko and Misaki's artifacts.

* [[Replacement Goldfish]]: The elderly (and borderline senile) Mr. Kei Ishikawa ends up somehow adopting one of Chiyoko's bitey little demons as a replacement for his [[Mister Muffykins|yappy little poodle Mana]], whom Chiyoko accidentally vaporized (except for her tail and back legs).

* [[Replacement Goldfish]]: The elderly (and borderline senile) Mr. Kei Ishikawa ends up somehow adopting one of Chiyoko's bitey little demons as a replacement for his [[Mister Muffykins|yappy little poodle Mana]], whom Chiyoko had accidentally vaporized (except for her tail and back legs).

* [[The Reveal]]: The extended sequence after "Chou" and "Yori" register Ami, Rei and Hotaru with their home's security spell, after which they finally tell them all their secrets.

* [[Reverse Polarity]]: How Nabiki pulls off a lot of Ms. Aoyama's creepiness/alien-ness -- the disguise/illusion includes something that inverts her chi in such a way that it makes her feel completely unnatural even to those that aren't chi adepts.

* [[Roof Hopping]]: Nabiki gets extensive (and extreme) training in roof-hopping from Ranma and Kasumi. The other girls are already adept at it.

Line 244:

Line 245:

"I heard that a ghost tried to scare Ms Aoyama to death," Rei put in, looking like she was trying not to laugh. "She just raised an eyebrow at it and no one has seen it since."}}

* [[Single-Issue Psychology]]: Before they discover an organic cause for them, Ranma, Kasumi and Nabiki speculate that Akane's anger issues (and her failure to control them despite much therapy) stem from her being a repressed lesbian or bisexual, and having a consciously-denied crush on her best friend Sayuri. To be fair, the evidence at hand was strongly suggestive that this was the case. Ultimately averted as they are careful to note both between themselves and to all involved parties that Akane's problems are likely not caused by any one cause, although they admit that her toxoplasmosis was responsible for a ''lot'' of it.

* [[Single-Target Sexuality]]: During [[The Reveal]] of all their secrets to Ami, Rei and Hotaru, Kasumi describes herself as "Ranmasexual".

* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: Almost all of the Sailor Senshi, including Ami of all people (but not Hotaru). {{spoiler|This is one of the first (subtle) clues that something's very wrong with them.}}

* [[Small Girl, Big Gun]]: Chiyoko is the magical equivalent. Hotaru, even more so.
