Instead of using an IndyPloy he suddenly becomes a [[ComplexityAddiction complexity addict]], he forgets that his entire style revolves around aerial combat, and that he had been in a similar situation in his fight with Ryoga after he had learned the Bakusai Tenketsu.

He's fairly quick to forgive, offer second chances or feel sympathy even for opponents or enemies; he saved Herb's and Nabiki's lives, her felt sad for Happosai when the latter felt abandoned by his students, and even ''before'' he found out about Brother Blood he was convinced Ryouga was being manipulated somehow because he couldn't believe Ryouga would turn to evil.

* UnskilledButStrong: Comparatively speaking. Ryoga is actually vastly skilled in a number of areas its just that his main strength is what he displays the most his raw offensive power and neigh invulnerability. While Ranma can still be considered the more skilled of the two Ryoga’s H.I.V.E Training has risen Ryoga’s skill to the point that they are pretty much even turning their battle to one of stamina and endurance which Ryoga is clearly the better in. and even then their fight was ridiculously close with Ryoga himself Lampshading that it wouldn’t happen again.
** According to Happosai as far as fighters go, Superman is a talentless brawler.
* WeakButSkilled: Ranma at least the author certainly thinks so. Comparatively speaking. Ranma is actually pretty powerful, but tends to use a combination of skill speed, strategy, and power to win a fight. Compare Ranma and Ryouga; using the power scale that the Headmaster uses, both would likely be quite comparable in power, yet, Ranma can beat the Lost Boy nine times out of ten because his strengths capitalize on Ryouga's weaknesses, but not vice versa. Goku himself says that Ranma was better than him. He didn’t mean stronger, or anything like that, just more skilled. Skill is what makes the difference, more often than not. Ranma's strong, yes, but he still has to land hundreds of punches on Ryoga in the Bakusai Tenketsu arc to make anything happen. It's just that he has the speed and skill necessary to do that that allows him to win. Likewise, Goku is a brawler, just one with amazing speed and strength. If Ranma was at a level on par with Goku as he was with Ryoga, then his skill might be able to come into play a bit more.

* CharacterDevelopment: Ryouga being honest and so critical of his own motivations seems like a particularly appropriate touch considering the character development he's undergone in this story and his characteristic depression, as was Terra forcibly telling him that, regardless of what he thinks, he's a good person for what he did for her.
** Beast Boy: Much like Kuno he has matured, but is the same old Beast Boy inside.
** Robin: There is not much in the way of development other than his martial arts skills, but the foundations have been laid. I am curious were he is going.

* CharacterDevelopment: Ryouga being honest and so critical A number of his own motivations seems like a particularly appropriate touch considering the characters go through quite a bit of it in the fic. It's slightly more common for the Ranma characters, since the Titans characters are on the whole more well-adjusted already -- but even the Titans get a bit of development.
** The
character going through the most development is Ryouga. Through his training with Cologne and friendship with the Titans he starts letting go of his self-pity and anger issues, realizing that his NeverMyFault attitude was wrong and that he couldn't blame Ranma for everything that was wrong with his life. Though he regresses a bit after being brainwashed by the Headmaster (his anger issues go through the roof and his hatred for Ranma intensifies), he's undergone in this story still notably more self-aware and considerate of others. After breaking free of the brainwashing he spends some time as TheAtoner, and though his characteristic depression, as was Terra forcibly telling him that, regardless of what depression and self-loathing isn't ''gone'' he thinks, he's has far more positive relationships in his life and is a good much better person for what he did for her.
** Beast Boy: Much like Kuno he has matured, but is the same old Beast Boy inside.

** Robin: There is Kasumi, surprisingly, goes through a bit when she realizes she has essentially put her life and dreams on hold for the sake of her family and that it's not fair to them ''or'' to herself that she has made them so dependent on her playing the homemaker. It's her desire to learn medicine and medical tech that makes her stay with the Titans instead of going back home to Nerima.
** Kunou, after his stint at H.A.E.Y.P. and having to face that for a time he was actually a villain, actually matures a bit. Partly to atone for his actions, partly because Bumblebee's heroics have inspired him to do better, and partly because he's made some actual friends along the way, he becomes ''slightly'' more humble and reasonable, better at taking no for an answer, and less inclined to attack people for petty reasons. He's still an overdramatic and arrogant buffoon, but he's far better than he was.
** Ukyou realizes that she can't waste her life pining for Ranma and,
much in like Kasumi, decides to focus more on what makes ''her'' happy. She ends up joining Bumblebee and Kunou at Titans East.
** It's subtle, but after
the way events of ''The Titans and the Lost Boy'' Shampoo and Mousse are starting to develop a slightly healthier relationship. She is a little more tolerant of him, and he's a little less inclined to put her on a pedestal.

development other than his martial arts skills, but throughout the foundations have been laid. I am curious were he is going.fic, first through her relationship with Ryouga and later on through her training under Happosai.



* CombatPragmatist: Mousse is more prone to underhanded tricks than most of the characters in Ranma 1/2, but after being brainwashed by the Headmaster he brutally beaten and nearly killed Raven before blinding her.

The ''Dark Titans'' duology is a ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''/''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' crossover by Lathis. The series consists of two fics: ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2957130/1/The_Titans_and_the_Lost_Boy The Titans and the Lost Boy]]'', written from 2006-2007, and ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3462706/1/Dark_Titans Dark Titans]]'', started in 2007. It was on hiatus between 2012 and 2020 before resuming and is currently ongoing. The premise is very simple: take Jump City, insert the Nerima Wrecking Crew. Set to liquefy, serve chilled. In execution, on the other hand, it's actually a complex work.
