* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Not that there ''is'' a radar, except for [[YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries YouTube police]], but listen to some of the background talking during classroom scenes and a pattern of not-so-family-friendly conversations emerges. "I have these drugs" indeed.



* SoundtrackDissonance: The theme from [[Anime/DailyLivesOfHighSchoolBoys Literary Girl]] and its romantic overtones are somewhat undercut by Kuno coming right out and saying he intends to deflower Ranma complete with visual metaphor.

* SomethingElseAlsoRises: Considering how clear Kuno makes the meaning of his sword as a metaphor, virtually whenever he raises it and delivers a risque line it becomes this.

* ScreamingAtSquick: After Kuno tells Girl!Ranma he plans on deflowering her, Boy!Ranma screams internally, culminating in metaphorically drowning in his own mind and being completely out for the count as a result (signalled by a boxing K.O bell).

Added DiffLines:

* {{Lolicon}}[[{{Lolicon}} /Shotacon]]: Sōn Tendō is a little ''too'' comfortable embracing female Ranma affectionately.
* NoFourthWall: When characters complain about the animators ruining their [[OffModel previously beautiful visages]], you know you'll have to search long and hard for the fourth wall.
* OffModel: There is a quite visible drop in quality sometimes between the official release episodes, which means this can occur halfway through an episode of the abridged series. Naturally, it is lampshaded.
