Line 40:

* [[Angst Nuke]]: While Ranma is exploring her new abilities for the first time, the Gate counsels her that now that she has access to magic ''and'' unaspected ki to stop using her emotion-driven [[Ki Attacks|ki abilities]]. It explains that persisting in their use so will inevitably force her into a feedback loop where the emotion will come to dominate her personality. To further explain why this is bad, the Gate points out that Ryoga's depression-fueled Shishi Hōkōdan will only make him more and more depressed, to the point of suicide.

* [[Animal Eye Spy]]: Probably the closest trope to the way the Gate can ''only'' perceive things beyond its immediate physical location through its Guardian's senses.

* [[Anime Hair]]: Generally averted except where imposed by the source material, with ~~one~~ ~~odd~~ ~~exception~~: in chapter 8, an American Naval officer who meets with Aiko Yamada is a ''Nisei'', an American of Japanese descent, and he is described as being platinum blond. The description comes from a third-person narrative view of Aiko's thoughts, and she doesn't seem to think it odd or unusual.

* [[Anime Hair]]: Generally averted except where imposed by the source material, with a few exceptions:

** Ranma's cousin Tsuya is blonde.

** There also appears to be at least one ethnic Japanese agent in Hiroyoshi's team at the JNID who is a natural blonde as well.

* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]: Averted (as is common in fanfic) for Ranma, who has seen ''so'' many weird things just in the last few years of her life that she has absolutely no problems accepting the mysterious voice in her head that claims it's feeding her ki to keep her alive.
