Line 34:
* [[Bond Creatures]]: This is perhaps the closest trope to the relationship between Ranma and the Gate, although which one counts as the human partner and which is the bond creature is a bit hard to determine.
* [[Bi the Way]]: Chapter 3 makes it clear that the cousins have enjoyed some kind of sensual/sexual play together, particularly in the context of learning about [[BDSM|hojojutsu and
shibari]] and how to escape from them.
* [[Big Brother Is Watching]]: The Americans have a spy satellite watching the Yamada compound specifically to track Ranma. Unfortunately for them, he's learned to teleport by then.
Line 48 ⟶ 51:
* [[Cool Old Lady]]: Aiko Yamada, when she isn't wearing her "clan matriarch" hat -- and sometimes even when she is.
* [[Covert Pervert]]: Midori, at least where Ranma's concerned. In chapter 3, when Ranma idly (and innocently) speculates on
* [[Cursed with Awesome]]: The Gate, from its own perspective. It has vast and literally cosmic power, but almost no ability to use it on its own volition.
Line 62 ⟶ 65:
* [[The Ditz]]: There's a little bit of this worked into Tsuya's personality.
* [[Double Standard Abuse (Female on Male)]]: The double standard is very much averted by the Yamada, Midori in particular; she holds an especial grudge against the fiancee brigade for how they treated Ranma -- and is furious with herself in chapter 3 for accidentally triggering Ranma's defensive reflexes with a ill-chosen comment
* [[Dramatically Missing the Point]]: Nodoka. Every time she learns more about Ranma, she draws ''exactly'' the wrong conclusion about what Ranma wants or needs. For example, upon learning that Ranma is stuck in girl form, she immediately assumes it's permanent (despite being told otherwise) and that Ranma consequently has to live as a woman in all ways. Nodoka is helped in this by her tendency to only listen long enough to anything to jump to a conclusion about it.
Line 153 ⟶ 156:
* [[Significant Green-Eyed Redhead]]: Harukichi, who is described as "striking", even in comparison to the other cousins, none of whom are anything less than beautiful.
* [[The Stoic]]/[[The Spock]]: The Gate, by its very nature, is calm, dispassionate, logical but also aware of the cost of using its power. While it possesses emotions, they are
* [[Surprise Jump]]: Ranma makes one when Kioko
* [[Swiss Army Weapon]]: Ranma, being all about the uses of anything to hand in fighting, discovers that the Garnet Rod can shift its shape from a giant key into a more traditional quarterstaff, the better for use in combat. She also discovers that the bow on the front of her uniform can come off and be used [[Whip It Good|as a whip]] similar to Kodachi's gymnastics ribbon.
* [[Third Law of Gender Bending]]: Ranma works assiduously to avert this trope, starting from the moment she realizes she's ''giggling'' the day after
* [[Understatement]]: The Gate's warning to Ranma that the bonding process might be "uncomfortable".
Line 195 ⟶ 198:
* [[Shout-Out]]:
* One to
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Well, the entire story, basically. But more specifically...
