What follows is a tale of penance, for each of Akane, Ukyo, and Shampoo had a part to play in driving Ranma away; of schemes and plots to save Ranma or stop the Sorcerers; and, most importantly, of introspection, for as these characters are thrust into a conflict that dwarfs them, they must look inside themselves and wonder if they enjoy the people they've become at all.
You can read it [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5513459 here].

{{tropelist}}
* [[Alien Geometries]]: The "Maze" the Sorcerers project to isolate their village and, later, to enclose Jusenkyo. Once you enter, you can't leave. If you keep walking away, you just end up in the same place you started. Ranma even hops atop a tree to look out and
* [[Big Bad]]: Sindoor, with [[The Dragon|dragon]] Kohl.
* [[Battle in
* [[Body Horror]]: The Sorcerer Priest Henna collects animals cursed with insane mixes of curses, including a bird with fish scales and a giant cockroach. But, more sinister is how she takes an Amazon prisoner and starts methodically subjecting him to more and more simultaneous curses. [[Gory Discretion Shot|We don't get to see the end result at first]], and Henna kills the monstrosity later to continue with her "experiment," but when Ranma breaks free, the mix of insect limbs and wings is stomach-churning.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Konatsu continues this tradition with his "Divided Pizza Attack."
Line 18 ⟶ 20:
* [[Fantastic Drug]]: Vision dust. The Sorcerers use it open their minds and communicate telepathically over vast distances, but Cologne hints that the Amazons use it for a different effect...
* [[Fridge Logic]]: Just where ''did'' Genma go after getting to the Amazon village? Everybody else goes on to fight the Sorcerers, but he just...disappears.
* [[Impaled
* [[Ki Attacks]]: Sort of. While the Sorcerers do use beams of pure energy, they generally favor ice, fire, wind, and lightning. Ranma has, of course, [[Awesomeness By Analysis|already learned the ice attacks ]] with probably more to come.
* [[Murder the Hypotenuse]]: After Ranma casually brushes her aside, Shampoo realizes that, between the wedding fiasco and Jusendo, Akane really might be winning Ranma. Her solution? Put Akane's skull between a steel mace and metal door and hammer on the end.
* [[No Name Given]]: Wuya in the first chapter only. Ukyo's father still isn't given a name, however.
* [[Schedule Slip]]: The author dabbled in posting on a weekly basis for a while, but gap weeks have become more frequent of late.
* [[Shout
** In chapter five, after Ranma broke into the Sorcerers' tower:

'''Ranma''': [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Chambers of what did you say? Guf?]] }}
** Also, after the Sorcerer Wuya comes at Akane with a knife, Akane throws a chair at her. It gets blocked harmlessly.

** All of the bird [[Theme Naming]] is an indirect reference to similar naming in ''[[Noein]]''.
** Said to Ryoga:

*** And yes, this means that Ryoga's wandered all the way to England. He was actually the subject of some [[No Sense of Direction|scientific interest]].
** From chapter two:
{{quote|
'''Ranma''': [[Luke, I Am Your Father|You're not my father, if that's what you're saying.]] }}
* [[The Evils of Free Will|The Evils of Free Love]]: The "Night of Magic's Coupling"? 12 men and 12 women go into a room. They sleep with the number they're assigned. Then they get out and make way for the next group, all in five minutes or less. Being able to freely engage in passionate acts? That's dangerous and will get your whole village turned to ash.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Ukyo calls out Akane hard when Akane berates Ranma as a coward and unmanly. No, she didn't give Ranma [[I Can Explain|a chance to explain]]. It wasn't [[Not What It Looks Like|what it looked like]]. And this time, Ukyo makes sure Akane knows it.

* [[Theme Naming]]:
* [[Title Drop]]: Not of the whole fic's title, but individual chapters or parts thereof get this a lot. The phrase "cold rain" is often used to refer to the end of chapter one, where Akane bitterly accuses Ranma of not being a man (which, in turn, propels him to China and starts the whole mess). "Monsters and Demons" (chapter three) does this the most, though: the chapter title is dropped in part II, and part VII's title ("To Slay the Monsters within Our Souls") makes up the bulk of the last lines of the chapter.
* [[Town
* [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]: While Sindoor isn't exactly looking to make a utopia, she continually justifies her actions as in the best interests of the village. How this justifies wantonly subjecting prisoners to [[Body Horror|unholy mixes of curses]] is yet to be seen.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: The Phoenix are furious to find out that Ranma's told the Sorcerers Saffron should indeed be the Sieve when (a) he had no way to be certain and (b) he did it just to get himself an opportunity to escape.
