* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: The [[Giant Mook|Dojo Destroyer]], Principal Kuno (Kuno Kocho in Japanese) whose given name was never revealed. The Jusenkyo Guide is only ever called "Mr. Guide" by the cast and {{spoiler|"Father" by his daughter}}.

* [[Everythings Better With Pandas|Everything's Better With Pandas]]: Or so Genma would like you to believe. In the earlier arcs of the manga, he even had a tendency to appear out of nowhere and randomly save Ranma's from having people discover his curse. This is part of the [[Aborted Arc]] to keep Ranma's curse a secret.
* [[Evil Feels Good]]: Nabiki, Shampoo, Pink, to a lesser degree Happōsai, as he is even more upbeat, but not quite as malevolent. A running theme of the show is that several of the most [[Jerkass]]-y characters tend to be extremely serene and happy about it, whereas people with a strong conscience tend to get depressed far more easily, much like the real world tends to work, rather than sticking to the corrupt story convention that pain equals evil and happiness equals goodness. It is most overtly displayed with Pink and Link, the former physically identical twin is a happy casual sadist, and the latter an altruist who gets victimized for her sister's misdeeds.

* [[Overtook the Manga]]: This resulted in the anime needing a number of unique episodes, many created homebrew, a few actually extensions of manga [[Filler]] stories (such as the "Japanese Nanniichuan" story, which took up one or two chapters in the manga and three episodes in the anime).
