* During the golden age of ''[[Ranma ½]]'' fan fiction during the late 1990s and early 2000s, fan writers took ''Ranma'''s propensity for diversely silly martial arts and turned it [[Up to Eleven]], featuring such ''ryuu'' as Snack Food Martial Arts, Martial Arts Interpersonal Relationships, Martial Arts Speed Reading, the Sakkiken and Martial Arts Non-Violence in their stories. As early as 1998, [https://www.sanjiyan.co.uk/showthread.php?t=69982 attempts to compile lists of all such fan-created styles and schools]{{Dead link}} were already numbering in the dozens, easily outpacing the "canon" arts from both the manga and the anime.
** The classic ''Ranma'' fic ''[[Girl Days]]'' is the source of Snack Food Martial Arts, plus one other -- the "[[Baka]]-ken", possibly the ultimate example of this trope. An attempt to weaponize [[Insane Troll Logic]], it revolves around the idea that one can be so bizarrely bad at fighting that it goes all the way through incompetence and out the other side into mastery. Ranma refuses to fight its one practitioner, on the grounds that he's [[Insistent Terminology|a loony]].
