6	!!This work contains examples of:
7
8	* ACupAngst: Cologne reminisces with Parvati about the time the younger Parvati beat up her fellow warriors for mocking the young Parvati's flat-chestedness.
9	* AdaptationalBadass: Ranma arrive to Nerima with greater strength and skill, and an excellent understanding of Chi to boot. Moreover, under his tutelage, Akane [[TookALevelInBadass becomes increasingly formidable]].
10	* AdaptationalJerkass: While Genma was undoubtedly an asshole in canon, he was a faithful husband by all accounts. In this fic, Ranma mentions that he has/had a bad habit of sleeping around.
11	* AdaptationalNiceGuy:
12	** Akane drops her {{Tsundere}} attitude and becomes a genuine NiceGirl after Ranma cleanses her of her anger-induced chi.
13	** Ranma himself is less misogynistic and antagonistic due to his Guru cleansing him a couple years before the story's start.
14	* AffectionateNickname: Akane sometimes calls Nabiki "Biki-nee". For her part, Nabiki sometimes calls Akane "A-chan".
15	* TheAgeless: Ranma's guru no longer ages, thanks to her ability to convert her chi and shen into ching.
16	* AggressiveSubmissive: Nabiki doesn't like being in charge of a relationship all the time, preferring to be more dominant with women partners and let her male partners take charge more. This is part of why she likes Ranma, he's a guy and a girl in one package, and better than most of the guys in Nerima.
17	* ClosetKey: Ranma, or rather Ranko, causes Akane to realize she's bisexual as she finds herself fantasizing about him in both forms. Nabiki suggests that she had previously unconsciously repressed her attraction to women out of fear of social rejection, and didn't realize until her chi cleansing brought it up.
18	* CoolSword: In Chapter 22, Ranma and Shampoo each receive a very valuable and exquisitely forged sword from Ranma's guru (who is also Shampoo's grandmother); Ranma a Jian for his hard work as her apprentice, and Shampoo a Dao as a belated sixteenth birthday present.
19	* CovertPervert: Along with her bisexuality, it seems that Akane was repressing a bit of a kinkier side, as she's had more than one EroticDream after her chi was cleansed.
20	* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: The Black Dragon Breath Technique, which greatly increases the amount of chi the user has at his or her disposal, and automatically channels it into a dragon-shaped battle aura around the user. The drawback is that it puts a ''lot'' of stress on the user's body. Since the battle aura is so compact, it eventually causes the user's muscles to tear themselves apart. Even worse, the breathing exercises required to maintain the aura starts rupturing the blood vessels in the lungs after a while, eventually causing the user to drown in his or her own blood.
21	* DCupDistress: Ranma finds his girl form's breasts inconvenient to deal with. This is partly because he didn't have the luxury of getting used to them.
22	* DefeatMeansFriendship: Enforced. If Shampoo fails to kill Ranko three times, then she has to make amends with her and have Ranko become one of her Shield Sisters to add Ranko's strength back to the tribe.
23	* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Negative attitudes towards homosexuality in late 80s and early 90s Japan are cited as a reason why Nabiki keeps her bisexuality a secret and Akane subconsciously buried her attraction to women.
24	* DirtyCoward: Qiáng Wang, a [[TheTriadsAndTheTongs Triad boss]] who wants revenge on Ranma and his guru for destroying his organization. He goes after Ranma because he's the weaker of the two, and because [[RevengeByProxy killing him will hurt her]]. When he finds out he underestimated the pigtailed martial artist, he flees from the fight they're having, leaving a BrainwashedAndCrazy Ryoga to kill him. It's also mentioned in the backstory that he ran away both times his organization was dismantled.
25	* DirtyOldMan: Qiáng Wang is a darker example than some. He's known to "help himself" to other people's bodies, [[DepravedBisexual male or female]], whether they consent or not. It's mentioned that [[EveryoneHasStandards even Happosai found his "predilections" disgusting]].
26	* DramaPreservingHandicap: Akane's training suffered after her mother's death. By the time Ranma arrived, her father was only teaching her one day a week, if he felt like it. As a result, there are some serious problems with her martial arts skills. She puts too much strength behind her blows, her form is sloppy, she hasn't properly adapted to her body's growth, and her fighting uses a lot of unnecessary movement. The only reason she keeps winning against the Hentai Horde is because she has a lot of natural talent and Kuno keeps [[ILetYouWin throwing his fights with her]].
27	* TheDreaded: Ranma's mentor is widely feared by Hong Kong's criminal elements.
28	* EvenEvilHasStandards: It's mentioned that Happosai took offense with Qiáng Wang's various operations in Beijing. The fact that even ''Happosai'' thought his activities were loathsome just underscores how truly vile the Triad leader really is.
29	* TheGlovesComeOff: In proper LetsGetDangerous[=/=]IAmNotLeftHanded style:
30	-->'''Ranma''': See, the whole point of fighting in [[WretchedHive Kowloon]] was so I could learn how to ''not'' use all of my power. Guru taught me a lot of powerful techniques and refined several of my regular techniques as well, but she told me to use only the absolute minimum amount of force to fight and beat your pinheads. Oh, I could punch them through the walls of the building easily; an old converted fort like Kowloon has substandard walls to start with, but that is what Guru wanted to teach me above everything… control. There's no such thing as having too much control over your strength, but it took me a while to understand that if I went all out, I could have turned Kowloon Walled City into rubble. Since then, I've grown so much in power, yet kept to pretty much the same level of fighting skill out of habit, but now… with no need to worry about my surroundings to nearly the same degree… I think I can cut loose for once.
31	* GoodIsNotSoft: Ranma may be a nicer guy than he is in canon, but he's also more willing to kill.
32	* IAmTheNoun: Moisturizer, High Matriarch of the Joketsuzoku, is outraged when she learns the council's going to force her to step down, partly because, as far as she's concerned, she ''is'' the Joketsuzoku, as she boasts in her thoughts.
33	* KlingonPromotion: Qiáng Wang manages to gain control over a {{yakuza}} group based out of an area close to Nerima by killing its leader.
34	* KnightOfCerebus: While the story was always more serious and less wacky than canon, the first few chapters are rather low-stakes and don't have any notable antagonists. This changes with the introduction of Qiáng Wang, a depraved martial artist of considerable skill and tenacity who has a major bone to pick with not only Ranma, but several of his associates.
35	* MakeItLookLikeAStruggle: Just before fleeing the Joketsuzoku village, Moisturizer knocks out Conditioner so that she won't be suspected of colluding with her.
36	* MethuselahSyndrome: Qiáng Wang is over three hundred years old.
37	* MightyGlacier: Once she ups her training, Akane is noticeably slower than Ranma but she's extremely talented at chi reinforcement (which increases her strength and defenses) so she's also at least three times as strong.
38	%%* TheMistress: What Nabiki is hoping to set herself up as.
39	* {{Nepotism}}: Ranma can't outright reject Shampoo due to her being the many-times great granddaughter of his guru, Parvati.
40	* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Ranma's former instructor is revealed to be Cologne's daughter-in-law and the many-greats grandmother of Shampoo's grandfather.
41	* OriginalCharacter: Multiple, including Ranma's guru and Qiáng Wang.
42	* OverTheShoulderCarry: Ranma playfully does this to Nabiki after they come home from one of their dates.
43	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: In addition to his many other detestable qualities, Qiáng Wang shows a few hints of racism. He contemptuously refers to Ranma's guru as a "half-blood harlot," and his Japanese adversaries as "accursed Japanese barbarians."
44	* {{Polyamory}}: Nabiki is trying to nurture this type of relationship, one where Ranma marries Akane but keeps her as a mistress.
45	* RedBaron: Ranma's mentor, the "Revenant of Kowloon Walled City".
46	* RenownedSelectiveMentor: An extremely skilled Indo-Chinese guru living in Hong Kong, one very well-known among practitioners of chi manipulation. She rarely takes students, but those she accepts almost invariably become influential members of the martial arts world. Ranma spent a year as her apprentice, which led to him [[TookALevelInBadass becoming a good deal stronger and more skilled than he was in canon]].
47	* RevengeByProxy: Qiáng Wang wants revenge on the guru who destroyed his organization. But since he's not strong enough to take on her, he decides to target Ranma, her apprentice.
48	* SecretTestOfCharacter: Ranma wants to test Akane's judgment and ability to push down antagonism. To do this, he makes sure Shampoo is present when he asks her what direction she would like to take her Chi training. He knew that Shampoo would suggest channeling rather than invocation, due to her relative lack of personal strength at the moment. He also knew that Akane didn't like Shampoo, and wanted to see if she could overcome her bias and use her critical thinking to make the right choice. Akane passed.
49	* SiblingIncest: Nabiki has told Akane that their being siblings is the main reason that she hasn't seduced her yet, and Akane has a few [[EroticDream dreams]] that hint that she'd be more than fine with a threesome with her.
50	* TeacherStudentRomance: Ranma takes Akane under his tutelage to help correct her father's neglect of her. They are also giving the fiancee thing a chance by dating.
51	* TookALevelInBadass: Akane's capabilities rapidly improve thanks to her becoming Ranma's apprentice.
52	* TheTriadsAndTheTongs: Qiáng Wang is a dangerous Triad leader.
53	* UnskilledButStrong: Akane has a good deal of natural skill, but her training was lacking due to her father not being the state to properly train her, resulting in her being this at the start of the story.
54	* VigilanteMan: Ranma's guru spends much of her time tackling crime in Hong Kong, using lethal force if necessary. During the time he lived with her, Ranma aided her in her activities.
55	* WeirdnessMagnet: According to Cologne and [[OriginalCharacter Parvati]], Jusenkyo has a secondary curse that attracts chaos to the cursed, though usually just in the form of getting hit by water at inopportune times. Ranma somehow got a supercharged version of the secondary curse.
56	* {{Yakuza}}: Qiáng Wang manages to take control of a group of local Yakuza by killing their leader.
