History Fanfic / TheBeastThatIAm

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Jade's punishments for Koalla, Motoko and Naru the first time she appears all qualify. Motoko has her sword broken and is left in the [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes turtle]] exhibit at the local zoo. Kaolla is strapped to a crane's electromagnet at the scrapyard, forcing her to see a bunch of scrapped machines. Naru is stripped naked and tied up with telephone wires above an intersection.

* EverybodyKnewAlready: Not only are the city inhabitants aware of the girls of the Hinata Inn and their antics, but the police very much want Keitaro to keep a tighter leash on them to keep them from running around, breaking several laws. Also, after Shinobu's rampage as "a large green ogre", the Hinata Inn is declared a crime scene and the residents can't enter large parts of it until the investigation is over.

* OpenMouthInsertFoot: While discussing Su's desire to up the security at the Hinata Inn (to stop the [[Comicbook/SheHulk Ogre]] if she shows up again), Keitaro tries to dissuade Kitsune by pointing out that eventually Su will turn all of that security on him.

'''Keitaro:''' Wait... what did you just say Kitsune?\\

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Jade (Shinobu's Hulk persona) is played like this, though not exactly evil.

* ShoutOut: Officer Gai had this to say about the Hinata Inn when driving Haruka up to it in chapter 7.
-->'''Gai:''' [[Film/ANewHope You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.]]

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: After being hospitalized, Naru attempts to justify her attack on Keitaro by recalling how she came across him kneeling over a heavily-bandaged Shinobu and assumed that he attacked her, only to stop mid-sentence when a confused Kaolla asks ''why'' Shinobu was covered in bandages if she had only just been attacked.

* AboveTheInfluence: Jade is ''very'' interested in becoming intimate with Keitaro, but he refuses to do so before Shinobu is ready.

* BreastExpansion: Shinobu gets this as part of her transformation into the She-Hulk, Jade. The results are said to dwarf the likes of Naru's and at one point described as a "mammoth set of female assets".

* GameChanger: Shinobu's alter-ego [[Comicbook/SheHulk Jade]] completely changes the status quo. Not only does Keitaro now have someone both willing and ''very'' able to protect him from the actions of the other tenants at Hinata Inn, but Haruka makes it clear that Keitaro either has to stop being an ExtremeDoormat and put the girls in their place or evict them. While Keitaro worries about [[SunkCostFallacy negating all the work he's done so far]], Haruka explains that if he doesn't change with the status quo, things will only escalate and likely result in Jade maiming and/or killing one of the others in her rage.

* GrowingMusclesSequence: Particularly Shinobu's first transformation into a She-Hulk in chapter 4 is portrayed as this.

* IveComeTooFar: One of Keitaro's biggest problems is that he can't even consider changing the status quo by say evicting the troublesome tenants or applying to a different school, because he feels that doing so would invalidate the years of effort he's already invested. It doesn't occur to him that the status quo is him getting beaten for any slight mistake, even if it's not his fault (the story starts with Naru entering PervertRevengeMode because ''she'' walked in on ''him'' while he was making repairs in the onsen), and that since Shinobu can now become ComicBook/SheHulk, things ''will'' change regardless of what he wants.

* NeutralNoLonger: Haruka's default attitude to the usual Hinata Inn antics was to wait for Keitaro to finally put his foot down. But when Shinobu wound up getting hurt because of said antics, she decided it was time to lay down the law so that didn't happen again.

* ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing: Transforming into Jade generally destroys whatever Shinobu was wearing at the time, leaving her scraps of clothing at best.

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Jade's punishments for Koalla, Motoko and Naru the first time she appears all qualify. Motoko has her sword broken and is left in the [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes turtle]] exhibit at the local zoo. Koalla is strapped to a crane's electromagnet at the scrapyard, forcing her to see a bunch of scrapped machines. Naru is stripped naked and tied up with telephone wires above an intersection.

* NeverMyFault: Naru complains about Keitaro taking off while Kaolla's new attack Mecha-Tama are unveiled, completely ignoring the fact that he only took off because she punched him out of the inn.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7681912/1/The-Beast-That-I-Am The Beast That I Am]]'' by [=OrionPax09=] is a ''Manga/LoveHina'' and ''ComicBook/SheHulk'' crossover fic. It features Shinobu accidentally exposed to one of Kaolla's experiments. One that just so happens to involve gamma radiation. And it isn't long before the other girls of the Hinata discover that they ''really'' don't like Shinobu when she's angry. But Keitaro might wind up learning to love it...

'''Haruka:'''[[INeedAFreakingDrink I need a damn drink...]]

-->'''Haruka:''' "Please'' tell me this is your idea of a joke...\\

* ClusterFBomb: Jade just cannot stop calling everyone (except Keitaro) "bitches."

* NewAbilityAddiction: Haruka lampshades the likelihood that Shinobu will continue transforming any time she gets upset simply because she can.

-->'''Jade:''' "Defend yourselves?! That's a laugh, [[PrecisionFStrike bitch]]! 'Keitaro's looking at me! He's being a pervert! Keitaro's talking to some young girl! He's being perverted! Keitaro's doing absolutely nothing! He must be ''thinking'' something perverted!' It must be really convenient, being able to label every man a pervert just so you have a reason to beat them up! Makes you sound like you're actually a victim when all you are is a sadistic bully who gets off on treating people like dirt, all because you ''can!''"

* BerserkButton: Harming or threatening Keitaro near Shinobu is a good way to bring out Jade.

* IveComeTooFar: One of Keitaro’s biggest problems is that he can't even consider changing the status quo by say evicting the troublesome tenants or applying to a different school, because he feels that doing so would invalidate the years of effort he's already invested. It doesn't occur to him that the status quo is him getting beaten for any slight mistake, including others (the story starts with Naru entering PervertRevengeMode because she walked in on him while he was making repairs in the onsen), and that since Shinobu can now become ComicBook/SheHulk, things ''will'' change regardless of what he wants.
