Line 132:
* [[Divorce Requires Death]]: This certainly seems to describe Nodoka's intentions toward Genma in chapter 6, as part of her [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]].
* [[Domestic Abuse]]: As noted in ''Abusive Parents'' above, Genma -- who, while he doesn't commit any in the existing material, clearly intends to: when he finds out in chapter 9 that Nodoka has cast him out of the Saotome clan, he explodes in rage and begins to plan what he's going to do to her when he meets up with her again.
* [[Doorstopper]]: The prologue, eleven chapters and one untitled side story which Shurtleff completed total nearly 750Kb of text, and their content barely sets the story in motion. (And including the "official" side story ''Illusions of Honor'' by Andrew Norris pushes it over 750Kb.) If it had been finished, ''Relatively Absent'' would likely have been at ''least'' 1.5 Mb in length, and probably longer.
* [[Double Standard Abuse (Female on Male)]]: This being a ''[[Ranma ½]]'' story, it's of course inherent in the source material. But the double standard is very much averted by the Yamada, Midori in particular; she holds an especial grudge against the
** And ''because'' of the
* [[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. She also draws the wrong conclusions about the involuntary post-transformation hairstyle Ranma's wearing, as well as the feminine clothing she's been wearing because it fit her better.
Line 146:
* [[Emotion Eater]]/[[The Empath]]: The Gate's relationship with its guardian includes a certain amount of this, although not in a harmful or malicious way. What emotions it possesses are (usually) muted and low-key, but along with other sensory input it enjoys from its symbiosis with a guardian, it can experience (and enjoy) their emotions. However, it receives only stimulation, not sustenance, from them; it also knows enough to recognize when its guardian might be reaching dangerous emotional extremes, and will take steps to help them stabilize themselves.
* [[The Emperor]]: Emperor Hitomaro (who appears to be a [[Fictional Counterpart]] to
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: The Gate, Glaive and Crystal. Although they are all sapient, they are addressed (and address each other) solely by the object they embody, without the definite article.
Line 173:
* [[Fictional Counterpart]]:
** Emperor Hitomaro, to
** The Japanese National Intelligence Directorate, to the [[w:Public Security Intelligence Agency|Public Security Intelligence Agency]].
