History WhatAnIdiot / RanmaOneHalf

'''Instead:''' They ACTUALLY FALL FOR IT. They all seriously suspect the masked criminal is Ranma just because he said so, despite his build and physical prowess does not match Ranma's at all. Ranma even calls Akane out on her idiocy of suspecting him based on this. He points out why the hell a masked criminal would blatantly tell a victim his name after committing a crime, which completely defeats the purpose of being masked in the first place. To be fair to Akane, she carefully thought about Ranma's behavior beforehand and came up with a plausible motive and some facts did point towards Ranma by coincidence. She finally asked him for the truth hoping that he's not the criminal.

* The first DarthWiki/WhatAnIdiot moment should be when Ranma and Genma accidentally fall into the Jusenkyo spring and turn into (respectively) a woman and a panda when they are in training.\\

'''Instead:''' She runs over and attacks Ranma ''while he was asleep'', accusing him of dressing up like a cat and scaring her. Akane knows the guy has extreme ailurophobia to the point he gets terrified at anything remotely resembling a cat, so how the hell could he possibly dress up a his greatest fear in the first place?

* In the frog anime episode, Ranma, Mousse, and Akane find Genma, Shampoo, and Ryoga turned into frogs. They're all Jusenkyo victims, and the culprit made it known he was going after Ranma and Mousse next.\\

'''You'd Expect:''' Being one knowledgable about Jusenkyo curses, she would finally piece together that Ryoga and her beloved pet piglet are one in the same.\\

* Akane is a complete idiot when it comes to Ryoga and P-chan. In the Mark of a God episode, she sees the '''exact same mark''' on the bellies of Ryoga and P-chan.\\

'''You'd Expect:''' That Soun, Genma, and Nabiki would [[LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone back off]], since they actually want [[TakahashiCouple Ranma and Akane]] to get together conclusively, and allow the scene to reach its expected outcome.\\

'''Instead:''' She flaunts her "new relationship" in front of everyone at school, treats Ranma like crap, and then goes so far as to offer to auction him off to all of the girls simultaneously... naturally, they egg each other on and try to kill her instead.

* At one point in the anime, Ranma gets given a magical band-aid that causes him to flirt with any girl he comes across. Ukyo and Shampoo find out about it and decide to use it to their advantage by making the now far more co-operative Ranma sign marriage licences for them. Eventually, Akane realises what's going on, and asks the two of them to [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy maybe consider Ranma's feelings]]. In response, both girls say that they can worry about them later.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Ranma, having overhead this, to figure out that at best, Ukyo and Shampoo do not have his best interests at heart in this situation, and at worst they're [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]] [[{{Jerkass}} jerkasses]], and either have nothing to do with them from that point on, [[WhatTheHellHero call them out on their behaviour]], or at the very least never forget it.\\
'''Instead:''' [[StatusQuoIsGod He continues to try and stay on their good side, while saving most of his jerkassery for Akane, the girl who DID look out for him.]]

'''Instead:''' They ACTUALLY FALL FOR IT. They all seriously believe the masked criminal is Ranma just because he said so, despite his build and physical prowess does not match Ranma's at all. Ranma even calls Akane out on her idiocy of believing it based on this. He even points out why the hell a masked criminal would blatantly tell a victim his name after committing a crime, which completely defeats the purpose of being masked in the first place.

'''Instead:''' Nabiki gleefully lets the Dougi interrupt the moment, and Soun reveals the entire "seduce the Dougi's master" plot to Akane. She does not take it well.

* Akane is generally a nice person, but one of her biggest flaws is that she does not take kindly to people who insult her, and will often [[MegatonPunch react]] [[DisproportionateRetribution very]] [[HyperspaceMallet violently]] when someone does so. Ranma is a typical offender and victim.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That after the first few instances of this, Ranma would figure out that insulting Akane is a very bad idea, and try to stop doing so. Even if he has [[NoSocialSkills little in the way of social skills]].\\
'''Instead:''' He keeps on doing it throughout the series. Makes you wonder whether he's some kind of masochist, trying to toughen himself up by taking Akane's hits, or just plain stupid.
** '''On Top of That''': It is well established that Ranma hopelessly outclasses Akane, and contrary to {{Fanon}} assumptions, [[WouldHitAGirl doesn't really have any compunction about hitting a girl.]] We even see him dodge her attacks after provoking her from time to time, or during training exercises.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Ranma to [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beat Akane to a bloody pulp]]--or, at the very least, EVADE her strikes--every time she attacks him, ESPECIALLY those times when she does so for something that ISN'T his fault.\\
'''Instead''': He just stands there and takes it like a bitch, even at times when he didn't provoke her. Maybe he IS a masochist, after all.
