* RedOniBlueOni: Ranma and Ryouga. They switch roles at some times, but typically Ryouga is the more calm and reasonable one.

* TheCameo: [[{{Hellsing}} Rip van Winkle,]] of all people!

%%FetishFuel: It's been stated that Ranma and Ryouga chained together is hot.%%
%%Stated where? If by fans (or WordOfGod, even), it goes on the YMMV page. If it's states *within the fic*, the entry stays on this page--but needs an [[invoked]] tag.%%

!!This fanfic provides examples of:

* StatusQuoIsGod: ''Brutally'' subverted with [[spoiler:Rock's resignation from the Lagoon Company to work as Balalaika's advisor.]]

From there, [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity]] and many [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Moments of Awesome]] both ensue. It's BetterThanItSounds and you can begin reading it [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5368283/1/Forcibly_United here]].

* BlandNameProduct: The author exclusively refers to the beer the characters drink as Heireken, keeping things in line with the series itself.

* BreakTheCutie: The author brings Gretel BackFromTheDead just to do this to her again. He makes it sympathetic and endearing.

* CoolShades: Ryu Kumon breaks Dutch's sunglasses. The author takes time out of the story arc to make sure Dutch has new ones which are just as BadAss.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: The author seems bound and determined to make everyone get their own. During a fight with a Hind-D, he even manages to give Rock a moment of utter badassery.
* DeadpanSnarker: You know how a lot of {{Fanon}} portrays Ranma as a tragic hero? Gaming Ikari decided he needed to turn Ranma's JerkAss setting UpToEleven.

* FetishFuel: It's been stated that [[{{Squick}} Ranma and Ryouga chained together is hot]].
* FountainOfYouth: Ranma and Ryouga accidentally bring the de-aging mushrooms to Roanapur. HilarityEnsues.
* GoshDangItToHeck: Ranma and Ryouga have yet to actually swear in the story. The author seems to be making a firm effort to keep the language of every character more or less in-character.
* ISoundLikeARetardInEnglish: Played up fully with Shenhua, with Ranma unable to understand her and Ryouga able to understand Shenhua's frustration perfectly.
* JerkAss: Ranma and Ryouga to each other. Ryouga is portrayed here as the OnlySaneMan, perhaps just to defy the fanon expectation that Ranma is the more mature of the two.

* MadeOfIron: Subverted heavily. Guns scare Ranma and Ryouga quite a lot.
* NaiveNewcomer: Ranma and Ryouga, meet [[{{Hell}} Roanapur]]. Roanapur, meet [[BreakTheCutie Ranma and Ryouga]].
* {{Narm}}: The author tries, but the previously humerous tone of the story makes the Rock's Little Sister arc kind of hard to swallow without mocking.
* NightmareFuelUnleaded: Gaming Ikari makes Gretel even ''creepier''. She's pretty much [[{{Yandere}} focused on Rock]] in a sisterly way.

* PrettyLittleHeadshots: Gretel survives her "death" at the end of her original arc precisely because of this. Justified by the small caliber and short barrel of the gun, which, as the author points out, would have a high chance of not inflicting a fatal wound on someone if the shot was even the slightest bit off.
* OnlySaneMan: Ryouga. The author stated explicitly that he had to pick SOMEONE to grow up a bit for the story, and that Ranma wouldn't be it.
* RedOniBlueOni: Ranma and Ryouga, naturally. They switch roles at some times, but typically Ryouga is the more calm and reasonable one.
* RuleOfCool: The inspiration for the series. The author explicitly stated that he wrote the story because he thought that Ranma and Ryouga running around Roanapur causing trouble would be "awesome".
* RunningGag: Revy duels Ranma until she runs out of ammo in the third chapter. [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy She asks for a rematch]] when [[BottomlessMagazines she gets her new guns]]. Ranma agrees.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The author was a fan of ''SparklingGenerationValkyrieYuuki'', which meant he spent a few chapters spelling Eda's name with two D's. Corrected, though there's an instance or two where it's still spelled Edda.

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: The author justifies both Ranma and Ryouga speaking English for simplicity.
* SympathyForTheDevil: Specifically, the author was disappointed with [[spoiler: Gretel]] not getting a happy ending. One of his pre-readers told him [[TemptingFate that it was flat-out impossible]].
* TriggerHappy: The author makes no attempts to downplay Revy's tendencies at all. It works.

* [[WhamEpisode Wham Arc]]: Rock's Little Sister. It was alluded to previously, but this hits Cerebus Syndrome hardcore. With good reason. Gaming Ikari professes to hate drama, but he at least does it competently.
