Ranma ½: Difference between revisions

* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Ranma and Genma. They've turned cheating, cheap shots, and taunting into an art form. Fear the mighty ''Crouch of the Wild Tiger''! {{spoiler|Beg for your life!}}

** Saotome Ultimate Technique! A special skill that relies on withdrawal, concealment, and deliberation. In other words, run away and hide until you can come up with a better idea.

* [[Combat Commentator]]: Happens occasionally, with the peanut gallery making quips to explain what may be missing in a single still panel shot. Of course, this happens to also give certain characters an unusual and inconsistent knowledge of the martial arts, even if it is accepted as fact that they have no interest in them. Such as Nabiki immediately commenting on the nature of Happosai's "Hermit Crab Fist" being him moving from bucket to bucket really fast. Also parodied later in the Ten-yen bet saga, where Akane and Ranma serve up some overdramatic commentary on the rather mundane happenings. One of the best examples of this trope might be the anime-exclusive episode dealing with [[Martial Arts and Crafts|Martial Arts Shogi]], where Happosai and Nabiki (the former of which is just being a coward) take to the sidelines with Happosai explaining how Battle Shogi relates to the rules of the boardgame.

* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: And how...

* [[The Idiot From Osaka]]: Ukyo; although she isn't an idiot, is often depicted as a bit moneygrubbing, another stereotypical Osakan trait.

* [[Imagine Spotting]]: Combines with [[Medium Awareness]] as characters are often able to look up into previous panels and make remarks such as:

"Leave me OUT of your sick fantasies!" }}

* [[Important Haircut]]: Akane
