History YMMV / TheKeyToASuccessfulInterview

* MoralEventHorizon: Shampoo [[spoiler:steals a jer fighter from the JSDF, removes its [[{{BFG}} integral 30mm cannon]], and uses it to ''shoot the living hell out of Furinkan High, demolishing the building'' and giving zero shits about any students caught in the crossfire (although, thankfully, none were hit), as long as Girl Ranma dies. Yeah, Nerima is a place where ''even school shootings'' go UpToEleven. Understandably, further chapters where she declares to having done a HeelFaceTurn has the rest of the cast treating her pretty cautiously.]]

* TrollFic: The entire point of the story for some people. On how many levels (if any at all) depends on how highly you think of the author, but various options are listed in the talk page.
** WordOfGod insists he's not writing a CrackFic, nor is it supposed to be a joke.

* CrazyAwesome: The fic, once it gets going.

* CanonDefilement: Done so gleefully and without hesitation in a deliberately over the top fashion.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Ranma calling out (and subsequently trashing) Kuno for not defending Akane's honor after Kodachi called her several very offensive names despite his supposed love for her.
** Akane gets one when she beats Kodachi... with a [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure ZA WARUDO]] impression. OUCH.
** Genma has one by [[spoiler: convincing Akane to train in the Umisenken]]
** [[spoiler: Kasumi whupping Shampoo's ass in Chapter 16. This is even more awesome by the fact that in the previous chapter, Akane, Ryoga, Kodachi, Mousse, and Kuno teamed up had tried and ''failed'' to best Shampoo.]]
** The way Ranma beats Ryoga after the latter learns the Shishi Hokodan. After understanding how Ryoga was using it despite ''not'' being miserable, he realized he could do the same thing using an emotional energy supply that dwarfed anything Ryoga had: [[spoiler: His love for Akane, which also makes this something of a heartwarmer.]]
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Several, but the first would probably be the unveiling of Akane's inner ''StarWars'' geek when Ranma beats up the Martial Arts Sci-Fi club for her and she pockets one of their toy lightsabers.

** After Ranma uses the Yuujin Bakuha on him, Ryoga [[DeTerminator ''gets back up'']] and it looks like he's going to throw all of his emotional weight into the Shin Shishi Hokodan...and then he gets wiped out by the [[ChronicallyCrashedCar Yukari-mobile]] and spirited away by the core cast of ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' to a shotgun wedding with Ayumu. The only reason it's not a flat-out AssPull is because of all the times Ryoga mentioned getting lost and [[DoubleEntendre ending up in Osaka...]]
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming:

** The first time Ranma uses the Yuujin Bakuha counts as this, since it is literally [[PowerOfLove powered by his love]] for Akane. For bonus points, comparing its power to that of Ryoga's Shishi Hokodan proves objectively that his love for Akane is more powerful than Ryoga's hatered for him. The fact that Ranma figured out how to focus his love into a KamehameHadoken without feeling embarrassed only makes it all the better. What ''really'' seals it as this is what Ranma says just before unleashing it all over Ryoga:

** Ryoga managing to find happiness [[spoiler:with [[Manga/AzumangaDaioh Osaka]].]]
* [[spoiler: [[MagnificentBastard Magnificent Bitch]]: Kaori is this, as she's the one who manipulated Mousse and Gosunkugi.]]

** [[spoiler: The final battle for Ranma plays out as an epic knockdown, drag-out fight where the previously [[ImplacableMan implacable]] Shampoo is brought low, her guns destroyed, armor smashed and she's bleeding profusely. And as it moves to the epic crescendo of what should be the moment of triumph, Shampoo turns the tables on Akane with the Hiryu Shoten Ha. After all that, the training, the montage and everything, Akane loses. It just... goddamnit all.]]

* VillainSue: Shampoo, but she gets better.

** After Ranma uses the Yuujin Bakuha on him, Ryoga [[DeTerminator ''gets back up'']] and it looks like he's going to throw all of his emotional weight into the Shin Shishi Hokodan...and then he gets wiped out by the [[ChronicallyCrashedCar Yukari-mobile]] and spirited away by the core cast of {{Azumanga Daioh}} to a shotgun wedding with Ayumu.

--> "This is the real deal, the kind that a guy like me doesn't even have the balls to declare out loud because it's just embarrassing," Ranma admitted, "But that's fine, because I was always better at showing how I feel than telling!"
