Desperately Seeking Ranma: Difference between revisions

Line 100:

** And if they don't find and destroy the time machine, it just may do something that at the very least will reset the timeline, wiping out at a minimum the previous 20 years or so (which it had already done at least once prior to the start of the story), and at worst will trigger a complete deletion of the universe from the greater multiverse.

* [[Energy Ball]]: Ranma's ki attacks (as well as those of everyone else in the Sisterhood) take both this form and beams. As part of the ever-increasing power levels in this story, the ''size'' of Ranma's energy balls also increases; by the end of the extant material, he can generate balls of energy approaching ''two meters in diameter'' (which he can then launch with a range of ''miles''). And actively subverted by the technique born out of Nabiki's discovery of the internal structure of ki balls, which allows those balls to be compressed down to an unbearably-bright pinpoint of light, geometrically increasing its power and destructiveness.

* [[Everything Is Online]]: Averted. In chapter 95, Jun is frustrated in some of ~~his~~ investigations because at many of the institutions he would like to hack, the information he wants is still primarily stored on paper.

* [[Exact Words]]: Nabiki grows quite adept at technically true but thoroughly misleading explanations for the more unusual things in her life.

* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: The small, furry demons that Chiyoko chases about Minato.

Line 139:

* [[Hero Insurance]]: "Chou" and "Yori" have set up a fund to reimburse anyone suffering property damage due to [[Magical Girl]] activities. Originally intended for the Minato area, but by the end of the portal bomb arc, it's paying out to the occasional international location.

* [[Hidden in Plain Sight]]: Ranma and Kasumi once they start visiting the Tendo home as "Yori" and "Chou".

* [[Hollywood Hacking]]: What Jun is capable of in the Real World, basically because he's a [[Magitek]] AI millennia more advanced than anything on Earth and capable of remotely accessing pretty much ''anything'' electronic.

* [[Hot Chick in a Badass Suit]]: Ms. Aoyama.

* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: Those who don't dismiss her as "just" an alien often believe Ms. Aoyama is something far more powerful, and far worse.

Line 286:

* [[Super Speed]]: Similarly, Nabiki's ki training has boosted her foot speed and reflexes well into the superhuman range.

* [[Super Strength]]: While the other girls have it from the start, Nabiki is surprised to find that she's ''accidentally'' acquired the ability to lift nearly half a ton. And she gets stronger once she starts proper training.

* [[Surveillance Drone]]: While on vacation, Nabiki buys a half-dozen or so ultratech cameras which fly, go invisible, and can be remote-controlled by Jun, who relays what they see to picture-in-picture windows overlaid on Nabiki's visual field. (A little later, they splurge and buy the other girls a couple of cameras each.) And while she uses them for taking photos and video while on vacation, once she gets home...

And while she uses them for taking photos and video while on vacation, once she gets home... well, Ms. Aoyama becomes even better informed, for one thing.

* [[Take Our Word for It]]: Aiko, Tamiko, Fumiko and Misaki's original Magical Girl outfits are frequently described as being embarrassingly [[Stripperiffic]] -- but we never find out exactly ''how'', or even get any hint of what they actually look like. All we learn is that they are/were dark blue with gold trim, have a miniskirt, and showed at least as much skin as a revealing swimsuit (possibly a bikini).

* [[Talkative Loon]]: Setsuna shows signs of this right before they stun her and take her to a professional to treat the damage caused by the time machine.

Line 320:

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Akane, before she is cured of her brain parasites. To the point that her therapist had to use a tranquilizer gun designed for elephants on her in nearly every session.

* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight|Unusually Uninteresting Event]]: "The Great Twitch", which occurred when the team destroyed the time machine, is universally acknowledged as a thing that happened (literally -- beings 8 billion light years from Earth noticed it), but no one seems particularly bothered by or concerned about it, beyond generating a metric ton of [[Conspiracy Theories]]. (Except those who knew enough to suspect or realize what it was.)

* [[Utility Belt]]: Although it's not literally kept in a belt, Nabiki is starting to rival [[Batman]] for the sheer amount of useful ''stuff'' she's carrying around. At Jun's urging, she's begun accumulating all manner of high- and ultra-tech equipment which she keeps in her personal [[Hammerspace]] "just in case" -- including a lot of emergency rations and water, several [[Surveillance Drone]]s that Jun can interface with, and even a couple space suits.

* [[Voices Are Mental]]: Nabiki notices that the she can recognize everyone using the SI's communication system by their "voices", which sound like their speaking voices even though no sound is involved in the process: the outgoing "signals" are picked up from the appropriate part of the "speaker"'s brain and received "speech" is inserted into the auditory nerves. Despite pondering it for a while, she can't figure out how and why it works like that.

* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Although everyone repeatedly calls it an "illusion" spell, it's very clear that it's actually genuine shapeshifting. Then again it started as a simple disguise spell before it contracted a serious case of Creeping Featurism.
