Line 77:
* [[Paper Tiger]]: To stop Kasumi's assault on the guests, the Madame St. Paul summons a seven-foot muscular male in a maid's outfit to deal with Kasumi. He's gets knocked out by Dr. Tofu Ono with just one punch.
* [[The Power of Love]]: The basis of Ranma's Ki attack.
* [[Re CutRecut]]: As of May 8, 2011, the author condensed and rewrote several chapters up to the takeout race arc. Notable changes include Shampoo's claim of screwing Ranma not being used to get Kasumi involved.
* [[Red Baron]]: As in canon, Kuno's "Blue Thunder" nickname. This gets him mocked mercilessly by Akane.
{{quote|"Oh brother, last week he was the '[[Super Robot Wars|Sword that Cleaves Evil]]', and before that he was '[[Kamen Rider Kabuto|Walking the path of heaven, he who will rule everything]]'."}}
Line 118:
*** Ranma's cell phone has its ringtone the ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' theme song. ''Beautfiul Destroyer Sailor Moon'' chapter 14 reveals that Natalie Adams wrote the song after seeing the Senshi's heroism first-hand.
*** The line "Nobody dies when you kill them" is referenced a few times.
*** [[Oh Crap|"That's]] [[Jo JoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure Abridged|a boat."]]
*** After Gosunkugi gets hit by a tugboat, Nabiki delivers a [[CSI: Miami|Horatio Caine]] one-liner, complete with the sample of "We Won't Get Fooled Again" from her cell phone.
** When Ranma and Ryoga are about to begin fighting in chapter 24, Akane yells "Are you daft, punk?"
*** Which is a ''double'' shout out. The first being, obviously, to the electronic band, but a slightly lesser known one is to ''[[Jo JoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure Abridged]]'', which used the same line in the comment special. Given the other shout outs to JJBA, it's probably intentional.
** Chapter 26 has several of note as well:
*** When Madame St. Paul revealed the M5, Kasumi was disappointed that it was just a cheap knockoff of [[Kamen no Maid Guy|another legendary male maid]].
Line 127:
* [[Split-Screen Reaction]]: Invoked in chapter 14 during the arrival of the Grand Master who will train the Kunos, Ryoga and Mousse, Donny ''fucking'' Osmond. [[Mulan|Let's get down to business!]]
* [[Stealth Pun]]: Occasionally throughout the fic, Ryouga alludes to a [[Noodle Incident|nasty incident]] in which he wound up in Osaka. {{spoiler|Chapter 24 reveals that he literally wound up ''in'' [[Azumanga Daioh|Osaka]]. [[Don't Explain the Joke|Sexually]].}}
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: ''Everybody'', especially ''Shampoo''. The martial arts as a whole are taken [[Up to Eleven]], and pretty much ''everybody'' could ''mop the floor with'', or at least be equal to, canon!Ranma. Shampoo has [[More Dakka]], [[Stuff Blowing Up]], and is [[Nigh Invulnerable]]. Akane learns the Umisenken and [[Absurdly Sharp Blade|absurdly sharp]] [[Razor Wind]]. Ryoga uses his rarely-seen bandanna-blades to great effect, uses his umbrella more (and more effectively) in his fighting style, and overall kicks more ass. He also {{spoiler|learns both the [[Angst Nuke|Shi Shi Hokodan]] and Moko Takabisha (which both become seemingly twice as strong), forcing Ranma to use a new Hokodan variant based on [[The Power of Love]] to beat him. Then he stands up and uses the perfected Shi Shi Hokodan. [[Only the Author Can Save Them Now]]... [[Deus Ex Machina|and he does]] }}. Mousse decides to declare [[Did You Think I Can't Feel?]], {{spoiler|uses [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]] on ''himself'' to rid himself of his infatuation with Shampoo}}, and says [[Let's Get Dangerous]]. Kuno gets [[Cool Shades]] which make him act normally, and actually decent fighting skills.
* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: Once again, The Golden Pair.
* [[Tranquil Fury]]: Kasumi is the living embodiment of this trope; her fighting style of the "Gentle Sieve" is based entirely around bottling up emotions.
* [[Traumatic Haircut]]: What Shampoo gave Akane after her hard fought win in their battle for Ranma.
Line 134:
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: Averted in {{spoiler|Chapter 7.}}
* [[Up to Eleven]]: Everything has been getting crazier and crazier since the introduction of Ryoga.
* [["Wake -Up Call" Boss]]: The Golden Pair quickly shift from joke characters who will unquestionably be destroyed by Ranma and Akane, to pushing Ranma and Akane harder than anyone before.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Chapter 12, when {{spoiler|Shampoo erases Ranma's memory of Akane instead Akane's of Ranma,}}
** Chapter 15.
