Sanity Has Advantages: Difference between revisions

* A so-called [[Useless Useful Spell|"invincible technique"]] in ''[[Ranma ½]]'', the Cat Fist, induces an [[Unstoppable Rage]] in its user that boosts speed and reflexes, as well as giving "ki claws" that can cut through just about anything... but since he acts and thinks like a kitten, he can be distracted by toys and games. Even [[Too Dumb to Live|Kuno]] figured out this weakness within seconds of witnessing the Cat Fist in action. Not only that, it takes considerable time for Ranma's fear to reach the necessary level, which means he (or she, as the case may be) is simply running around, completely open, unable to fight back until it kicks in... a perfect target for anyone who is aware of what's happening and has the skill to capitalize on it. In fact, the only time that the Cat Fist has been an actual advantage in [[Ranma ½]] is the climax of the Phoenix Pill saga, where Ranma uses it to catch Cologne off-guard: most likely, as an [[Old Master]] who may well have been one of the people who proclaimed the Nekoken to be [[Harmful to Minors]], she doubted anyone would be stupid enough to teach it in this day and age, nevermind the trainee actually being willing to use that training.
