{{tropelist}}
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: While their bodies can handle poison hidden inside food, the mouths of those who practice the La Belle France School of Martial Arts Fine Dining are super sensative to spicy stuff.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: During a [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]] screening/cosplay event, girl-Ranma dresses up as Rei. The other fans remark how [[Megumi Hayashibara|she has Rei's voice]].
** Mousse's [[Death Note|potato]] [[Brad Swaile|chip eating]] bit in Chapter 13.
** Tatewaki Kuno's [[Cool Shades]] being the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Hierophant's]] [[Hirotaka Suzuoki|sunglasses]].
Line 23:
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: In chapter 19, Azusa saves Akane from Kaori.
* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: What Nabiki does to Ryouga.
* [[Brain Bleach]]: The maids wear blindfolds because the sight of Chardins' stretching their mouths is horrific to look at.
* [[Brick Joke]]: Akane's intent to "fuck Kodachi with a steamroller" during the Kodachi Arc.
** During Chapter 15's epic battle, Shampoo threw a tugboat into the air that was never mentioned again... until Chapter 21 in an extraordinarily painful fashion.
Line 45:
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: A bit so. Still funny, but a lot more [[Black Comedy]] and vulgarity.
* [[Deconstruction Fic]]
* [[Dead Baby Comedy]]: Chapter 10 casually plays a murder/suicide by plane crash for laughs.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Akane starts undergoing this immediately thanks to their better first meeting. She's already [[A Date with Rosie Palms|masturbating to fantasies of him!]] [[Chaste Hero|Chaste Heroes]] are perfectly safe, after all.
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: Akane begins crossing it in wake of losing to Shampoo in 16.
Line 67:
* [[Made of Iron]]: The Golden Pair.
** as Akane gets up from a nearly fatal wound to lay a brutal beating on Azusa.
* [[Medium Awareness]]: When it appears his defeat is nigh, Principal Kuno complains that it was too easy for the protagonists to win and the readers are going to call it anti-climatic.
** Happens a lot in chapter 21.
** Principal Kuno to a ridiculous degree.
Line 126:
* [[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 In 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 From 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.
