Line 97:
* [[The End of the World as We Know It]]: Nabiki, it turns out, accidentally averts an environmental catastrophe simply by ''deciding to import alien fusion reactors'', forcing the time machine to switch to Plan B, an asteroid with engines on it. Then Plan B gets averted by the entire team...
** 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.
