* AdultsAreUseless: Played straight before the story, averted during it. Omakes make reference to the events of VideoGame/RivalSchools and how useless the general populace are. However, during the story, the main Street Fighter cast are always competent and drive the plot.
** This is played straight during the story when [[spoiler: Mad Gear takes over the city while Naruto is in a coma, with the cops being basically a non-issue]].



** Comedically, Sasuke becomes surprisingly attached to his store as the story progresses, to the point that [[DisproportionateRetribution messing up the store or forgetting to pay is grounds for threat of a Chidori]].

to:

** Comedically, Sasuke becomes surprisingly attached to his store as the story progresses, to the point that [[DisproportionateRetribution messing up the store or forgetting to pay is grounds for threat of a Chidori]]. A more serious one is Gen in general. It's initially PlayedForLaughs as anything the old man says just makes him spout useless death threat after useless death threat, but after Gen [[spoiler: manipulates Akuma into gunning for Sakura]], he remembers exactly why Gen makes him so angry: He makes decisions and doesn't give a crap if he doesn't have the right to make them.
--> ''Sasuke'': I'm going to kill you because I swore I would. Because I don't like you. Because I have a 'need' to kill you [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch you son of a bitch]].



* ButtMonkey: Dan.

to:

* ButtMonkey: Dan.Dan initially, but it's slowly averted over the course of the last arcs of the story by making him a {{Foil}} to Ryu. While Ryu is strong and has the adulation of nearly everyone in the world, his [[ToBeAMaster incredibly vague goal]] prevents him from being satisfied and, ironically, from truly achieving it. Meanwhile, Dan is respected by (almost) nobody and is piss-poor weak, but can honestly say that he could die without regrets at any moment.



* ChickMagnet: Naruto. Clueless initially, becomes aware later on as the girls make their advances... obvious.

to:

* ChickMagnet: Naruto. Clueless initially, becomes aware later on as the girls make their advances... obvious. [[spoiler: It was all a ruse as he knew it very early, it's just that he had his heart broken by the first Sakura and decided to lay off dating]].



* GameBreakingInjury: [[spoiler: An injured, delirious, and brainwashed Cammy]] snaps [[spoiler: Naruto's]] arm like a twig right before his quarterfinal round fight in the Second World Warrior Tournament.
* GenreSavvy: Cammy prevents Naruto from asking Dudley about who took his father's prized Jaguar from him (his backstory for Street Fighter III), keeping them from inevitably getting embroiled with the Illuminati. For now at least.

Tournament. Averted when [[spoiler: he STILL beats Chun-Li and, thanks to Dhalsim, manages to heal up to tie with Sasuke in the final round]].
* GenreSavvy: Cammy prevents Naruto from asking Dudley about who took his father's prized Jaguar from him (his backstory for Street Fighter III), keeping them from inevitably getting embroiled with the Illuminati. For now at least.[[spoiler: The last arc sadly shows that they're getting involved anyway]].



** Gen says that he has several reasons for being the dick that he was. This is possibly one of them, but really, it doesn't matter.



** Of course, this culminates in him going a little too far, and despite being handicapped and having just recovered from the brink of death, Naruto [[BreakTheHaughty breaks him]] [[LaserGuidedKarma by taking advantage of his pride as a ninja]].



* LikeBrotherAndSister: Naruto and Sakura had this relationship at the beginning. At least, so it seemed. [[spoiler: In truth, issues on both sides simply hid the fact that they both truly loved each other]].



** Naruto is essentially a one-man PMC, taking jobs for whoever decides to pay him, and it helps even more that he can make a massive clone army to help out.



* RunningGag: After making a bet, whenever Sakura antagonizes Karin, Naruto spanks her to stop. When he's not around, Batsu and Cammy do it in his place (although Batsu doesn't get away with it).

to:

* RunningGag: The fic has a habit of making running gags and eventually dropping them to show how the characters develop.
** Every time Karin makes reference to owning Naruto, he instinctively retaliates that "Nobody owns him." They just lease him. Rent him at best. But NEVER own him. Dropped when Karin truly accepts her friendship with Naruto.
**
After making a bet, whenever Sakura antagonizes Karin, Naruto spanks her to stop. When he's not around, Batsu and Cammy do it in his place (although Batsu doesn't get away with it). Dropped when Sakura sees Karin [[spoiler: plant a wet one on Naruto]] and uses that as counter blackmail.



* ToBeAMaster: {{Deconstructed}} HARD with Ryu in the later parts of the story. The fic points out just how pointless and unhealthy this mindset is. His WalkingTheEarth tendencies make him absent from some of the bigger conflicts (Seth, for example) solely because nobody can contact him. His constant training makes have have NoScoialSkills to the point that he can come off as stupid, as seen when [[spoiler: he tries to get Naruto to leave Sakura to prevent Dark Sakura from coming out]]. Even then, he doesn't even know HOW to become the strongest, because there will always be people to fight.

Added DiffLines:

* XanatosGambit: How Naruto beats [[PrinciplesZealot Guy]]. He got his ass beat in a traditional showdown, so he lead him somewhere else to fight on his chosen turf. At that point, Naruto already won: Either Guy sticks to his principles and continues disrespecting Naruto by [[SchmuckBait going directly into his trap]] to show it doesn't matter, or he starts taking Naruto seriously stays where he is, but that would mean going against his belief that Naruto is an idiot. [[spoiler: Guy chose the former and got a royal smackdown for his idiocy]].

** PlayedForLaughs at one point. After Ibuki subjects Naruto to a messy prank, she stays around him to ensure he doesn't try to get revenge. While they are walking home from school, she notices that he's become rather silent, which is a bad sign because it means he's plotting something or he's already carried out the plan and his intended victim doesn't know it yet. [[spoiler:It turns out to be the latter: he used a billboard to publicly advertise Ibuki's phone number (even throwing in her body meeasurements!), causing her to receive phone calls from a bunch of would-be stalkers and their ilk, much to her annoyance.]]

* ShipperOnDeck: Batsu for Naruto. Not because he's jealous but because he's annoyed at the UST between him, Sakura, Karin, and Ibuki and Naruto's stubborn refusal to resolve any of it.
* ShooOutTheClowns: When Batsu isn't present, things tend to go pretty badly.



** Dan constantly harkens to his canon 'victory' over Sagat and claims several characters as his equals or his students, but no real name character in the story takes him seriously in the slightest.

** Dan constantly harkens to his canon 'victory' over Sagat and claims several characters as his equals or his students, but no real name character in the story takes him seriously in the slightest. he also advertises a photo of him landing a punch on Naruto during their fight - which happens to be the ''only'' good hit he landed on Naruto, and the only reason Naruto didn't decimate him almost immediately was because the spectators were getting too close to the ring, a problem that Karin rectified by bribing them into backing up, at which point Naruto wasted Dan with ease.

** Akuma, in a way. He seems to be more in control, but he is so confident in the supposed potency of the Satsui no Hadou that [[spoiler:he immediately assumes that Evil Ryu's Hadoken killed Naruto without bothering to check first. As a result, he focuses entirely on Ryu, thus allowing Naruto - who ''absorbed'' the energy - to attack him from behind and damage him enough for Evil Ryu to land a killing strike, crushing Akuma's head to a pulp.]]
