* HealingFactor: Kamikazan has one of these, as noted by Blood Rite. Within hours after his battle with Ranma, broken scales were already being shed and teeth in the process of regrowing, when a typical dragon would take much longer to recover from those wounds.



* UnderestimatingBadassery: Protagonists, antagonists, and everyone in-between underestimate what Ranma is capable of. One by one, most of them end up regretting it.

** The belief that Twilight was in league with "Havoc" led to General Granite and a decent chunk of the Equestrian military trying to capture them both, leading to a brawl that envelops Ponyville. It takes direct intervention from both Celestia and Luna before the situation is corralled.

* ArtifactOfDoom: The MacGuffin Stone. When attached to someone long enough, it absorbs the victim into itself and uses their energy as fuel. That isn't to say that they can't be freed if one knows how, though.

''Home is Where Your Curse Is'' is a crossover fanfic between ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' written by [=SFaccountant=]. The story can be found [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/280605/home-is-where-your-curse-is here.]] It is completed, and the sequel ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/355732/taming-the-wild-horse Taming the Wild Horse]]'' is currently in progress.

A dragon prince, awakened...
A Princess, in love...
A plot to overthrow the Equestrian diarchy and break the very foundations of equine society...
And an embittered Sorcerer willing to go to any lengths to realize his vision for the future...

Ranma Saotome doesn't care about ANY of that. He's on the wrong world, in the wrong body, and fate seems as determined as ever to drive the world's mightiest martial artist to an early grave. As schemes come unraveled and dark magic tears Equestria apart, all he really wants is to figure out what happened to Japan and keep himself fed.
But, alas, he always seems to be in the wrong place at the right time...

!! This story contains examples of the following tropes:

* ApocalypseHow: A planet-wide solar storm triggered by Gosunkugi's cult obliterated humanity and fauna alike during the story's prologue, sparing only Ranma as he had been unwittingly trapped in the MacGuffin Stone at the time. Discord liked the world too much to just see it die off, so after events ran their course he worked to reverse the storm's effects the best he could, eventually resulting in Equestria as we know it.
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: Blood Rite's relation to Princess Celestia, as he had been a student of her School For Gifted Unicorns decades before the events of the story, and apparently one that she had some pride in.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Ranma's rap sheet as the stories progress has some fairly serious crimes listed on it, such as arson and assault. Whenever the list is brought up, it always finishes with "dine and dash".
* ArtifactOfDoom: The MacGuffin Stone. When attached to someone long enough, it absorbs the victim into itself and uses their energy as fuel. That isn't to say that they can't be freed if one knows how, though.
* BigBad: Blood Rite during the first story.
* CurbstompBattle: Most of the fights that Ranma gets involved in, with one example being the mother dragonspawn at Sweet Apple Acres.
* TheDragon: Swan Song, towards Blood Rite.
** DragonWithAnAgenda: In true ''Ranma 1/2'' fashion, Swan Song falls in love with Ranma after her Polymorph spell turns him into a pony. She still follows Blood Rite's orders the best she can, but they're not so high a priority. [[spoiler: The emotional stress from being used and rejected by Ranma and fired from Rite's employ eventually causes her to snap and attempt to kill them both.]]
* DeathOrGloryAttack: While Swan Song is a mare of many talents, this is ultimately her specialty.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Swan Song, the Dragon to someone who seeks to permanently alter Equestria's status quo, has this opinion of Gosunkugi's desire to destroy Earth when Ranma tells her about him.
* LastOfHisKind: Ranma, after the aforementioned solar storm. He firmly believes that Gosunkugi transported him to another planet, remaining blissfully unaware of the truth.
* MacGuffin: The [=MacGuffin=] Stone, natch. According to Discord, its purpose is to provide a reason for the plot's existence by being a source of conflict and driving a narrative.
* NotGoodWithRejection: [[spoiler: ''Whoa'' boy, Swan Song.]]
* NotMeThisTime: This is Discord's immediate response when Twilight's attempts to use magic on Ranma end with Golden Oaks being decimated.
* PlotAllergy: Ranma has one towards magic. If spells are used on him, just about anything can happen--though the end result is an explosion or something detrimental more often than not. This is also how Swan Song's Polymorph spell managed to permanently turn him into a pony.
* RunningGag:
** Characters wondering along the lines of "Is it seriously called that?" about the [=MacGuffin=] Stone.
** Buildings unintentionally being set aflame wherever Ranma goes.
** Magic doing anything to Ranma other than what was intended.
* SpiderSense: Anyone who was ever trapped in the [=MacGuffin=] Stone or has used it long enough gains the ability to sense in what direction the Stone is located afterward. Recipients of this ability include Ranma, Blood Rite, and [[spoiler: Twilight Sparkle.]]
