* TookALevelInBadass: Ranma, full stop.

* AccidentalPublicConfession: In the alternate ending, [[spoiler: it is revealed that Akane conspired with Ryouga and Mousse to screw Ranma over during his rematch with Herb. Because of this, it is Akane, not Ranma who gets disowned.]]

* BestServedCold: Cold enough to give a penguin in the South Pole pause for concern.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Kasumi is smart enough to get the hell out of town once it's clear that the Tendous are finished. Genma attempts this, but Ranma catches up to him soon afterward.

Genma gets beaten within an inch of his life and is left crippled, and is later tossed into a pit of starving housecats, is given the Cat's Tongue Pressure Point, and splashed with cold water. Nodoka is disowned by her parents and her sword is destroyed. Soun loses his council seat and is forced to watch his family's downfall. Ryouga is outed as a burakumin, chased out of Nerima, turned into kitty chow (and later Shibito-fied in the alternate ending). Nabiki attempts to blackmail [[BewareTheNiceOnes the wrong person]] and is arrested, tried and sent to prison.]]
