Ranma ½: The Abridged Chronicles: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

'''Soun:''' [[Just Eat Gilligan|Why didn't you go into the springs that would turn you back while you were there]]?<br />

(crickets chirp)<br />

* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: As typical of an Abridged Series, such as Ryoga becoming Jewish.

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Ranma is a girl half the time, so he's probably gay half the time.

'''Akane:''' Same chances as someone putting butter on bread. }}

* [[Battle Butler]]: Episode 10.

'''Butler:''' The awesome kind. }}

* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Well, it IS the abridging of a Takahashi series.

* [[Gag Dub]]

* [[Harem Genre]]: The harem only started to grow, but let's face it, this is Ranma 1/2, of course there'll be one. Given Ranma's complaints in recent episodes, it's likely to become an [[Unwanted Harem]].

* [[Important Haircut]] / [[Traumatic Haircut]]: As with the original, Akane. The episode around it was even called "The Haircut Episode! Now We're Just Wasting Time"

* [[Instant Cosplay Surprise]]

* [[Les Yay]]: "It's always a good time for girl-on-girl action."

* [[Martial Arts and Crafts]]: Logically enough, considering the source material. Lampshaded with a generous helping of foreshadowing.

* [[Milestone Celebration]]: After its first year, a special episode was released, which mostly involved the characters [[Self Deprecating Humor|berating the series]] and complaining about the various random [[The Cameo|cameos]].

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Girl-type Ranma, usually lampshaded. No word on whether Shampoo will also fit this trope.

* [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: Kodachi. The rest of the characters tend to find it annoying.

* [[No Sense of Direction]]: Gee, maybe Ryoga? No matter how you abridge it, he still gets lost.

* [[Oh God With the Troping]]

* [[Once Per Episode]]: Several gags, appearing usually once per episode and including, most noticeably Genma doing something in panda form, accompanied by huge yellow letters exclaiming something. See the entry for more.

* [[Running Gag]]: There are several, although technically it's more of a repetition of jokes disguised as running gags. The creators themselves admit it.

* [[Self Deprecating Humor]]: The first half of the one-year special consisted of the characters pointing out the series' flaws. This did, however, lead up to a promise of improvements to come.

* [[Something About a Rose]]: Kodachi. Also a brief appearance by [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|Aki Izayoi]], who accuses the former of stealing her black rose motif, prompting Kodachi to quote the trope's alternate title:

* [[Sorry I Left the BGM On]]: Used with Doctor Tofu whenever Kasumi is present.

* [[Ted Baxter]]: Kuno, all the way.
