Ranma ½: Difference between revisions

Line 40:

* [[Affably Evil]] or [[Faux Affably Evil]]: Nabiki, Pantyhose Taro, Pink, Shampoo.

* [[All Amazons Want Hercules]]: Shampoo towards Ranma.

* [[All Cheering All the Time]]: Mariko, though we only ever see her when she's actively being a [[Martial Arts and Crafts|Combat Cheerleader]] so she might not talk that way in civvies. Then again, this is ''[[Ranma ~~One Half~~]]''.

* [[All Cheering All the Time]]: Mariko, though we only ever see her when she's actively being a [[Martial Arts and Crafts|Combat Cheerleader]] so she might not talk that way in civvies. Then again, this is ''[[Ranma ½]]''.

* [[And Call Him George|And Call Him Charlotte]]: Azusa Shiratori.

* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: There exists [[Played for Laughs]] and at least one [[Played for Drama]] versions.

Line 52:

* [[Arranged Marriage]]: The driving force of the series. Three times in the original manga (the Tendo promise, Ukyo, and Picolet Chardin,) plus an extra two time in the anime, once to serve as the justification for a [[Villain of the Week]]'s [[Martial Arts and Crafts]] challenge and the second time as a gag at the end of the episode.

* [[Art Major Biology]]: Akane somehow survives all of the water in her body being instantly evaporated by the Kinjakan. Of course, like almost everything else in the series, [[A Wizard Did It|A Magical Device Did It]].

** Basically, the series consists of 36 volumes of [[Involuntary Shapeshifting|Magic Curses that cause your body to transform into different creature in a split second]], [[Healing Factor|broken bones that heal in a week]], [[Megaton Punch|Megaton Punches]] with [[Invulnerable Knuckles]], [[Charles Atlas Superpower|Charles Atlas Superpowers]], [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|300/100-year old]], [[Miniature Senior Citizens|two-foot-tall old people]] (one of which was [[Sealed Evil in a Can|sealed in a cave]] with no food or water for ten years,) [[Ki Attacks]], [[Fountain of Youth|de-aging mushrooms]], [[Our Vampires Are Different|a woman who ages by]] [[Life Energy]] [[Energy Absorption|Absorption]] [[Magic Pants|gaining and losing mass without explanation]], not to mention the [[Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever|giant wildlife]] [[When Trees Attack|and sentient plants]], food items that can either give you [[Super Strength]] (and whiskers) or cause your hair to grow in feet-per-second, people and animals being [[Harmless Freezing|frozen in gigantic blocks of ice]], and people breaking [[Required Secondary Powers|the laws of physics]] ''and'' [[Square-Cube Law|biology]] with [[Supernatural Martial Arts]] on a daily basis.

* [[Ash Face]]: A frequent result of Happosai's fire bombs.

* [[Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance]]: Pick any of the visiting [[Martial Arts and Crafts]] people who come by.

** The French Cuisine arc in the manga had the governess dressed in 20th century French gown, with her hair tied up to resemble a roast chicken. The gambling king looks ''exactly'' like the King playing card, right down to the swirly beard and crown.

* [[Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever]]: The [[Orochi]], Pantyhose Taro's monster form, and Happosai, Soun and Genma's [[Battle Aura]] manifestations. Not to mention the Dojo Destroyer, in the manga.

* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: Hinako Ninomiya in child form.

* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: Ranma. All the guys at school cheer whenever Ranma suffers a [[Mode Lock]] as they seem to like [[Girl Watching|ogling]] Ranma more than most of the ''real'' girls. Nyanniichuan victims in general seem to fall under this category, perhaps because it ups the embarrassment factor of the curse; see the Musk Dynasty, especially their prince, Herb.

Line 186:

* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Subverted with [[Those Two Guys|Hiroshi and Daisuke]], at least in the manga. Their response to discovering that cute redheaded girl they've been crushing on is, in fact, their ''male'' best friend? "We don't care, she's still hot." [[Master of Disguise|Tsubasa]] also drops a Bridget on Ranma at the end of his introductory (and sole, in the manga) story, and [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|Konatsu]] drops it on Ukyo at the end of his.

* [[Dysfunction Junction]]

* [[Easy Amnesia]]: Shinnosuke, guardian of the [[The Lost Woods|Forest of]] [[Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever|Ryugenzawa]]. There's a pressure point technique that can not only erase certain facts from the victim's memory, but also prevents the victim from re-learning the fact in the future.

* [[Eating the Eye Candy]]: There are several scenes from the point of view of Ranma's various would-be lovers showing just why they consider Ranma to look good. In Akane's case, the girl most likely to get this (she's the other half of the [[Official Couple]], of course she gets this the most), this almost inevitably prompts Ranma to say something that points out why "[[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]" still references [[Jerkass]].

* [[Ecchi]]: Mostly of the comedic misunderstanding variety, but that doesn't discourage skin from showing in the slightest.
