78	* DidntThinkThisThrough: The Rival Brigade challenges the Mane Cast (minus Chiyo) to a Cosplay Race. Tsukiko didn't know Momo was an Otaku, though. Discord did something similar when he created the Discorded copies; he didn't know the baddass levels the Mane Six had gotten.

88	%%* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: Kuno seems to think this about ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet''.
89	* ExactWords: Madame St.Paul uses this to force Momo to have to eat meat during the dinner party. Lampshaded right thereafter.
90	* {{Expy}}: Hikaru's rival Tsukiko is apparently based on Twilight's ShadowArchetype Trixie. Pinkie even lampshades it.
91	* FakeMemories: [[spoiler: Thanks to Discord, in chapter 112, everyone's memories are altered to be closer to Ranma 1/2 canon, including the ponies (minus Luna) as part of a deal Genma had with him to get the ponies out of the way.]] Luckily, Ryoga was lost at the time, so he wasn't affected.
92	* FakeOutOpening:
93	** Chapter 30 opens with [[spoiler: Shampoo distraught over killing Ranma while {{Brainwashed}}]], which turns out to be [[AllJustADream just a dream]].
94	** Chapter 105 does a similar trick as Chapter 30.
95	* FailuresOnIce: Ranma and Ryoga's first attempt at ice skating is...[[EpicFail spectacular]], and not in a good way.

97	* ForWantOfANail:
98	** The Mane Six's presence changes plenty of things. See NakedFirstImpression for a major example.

101	* FrickinLaserBeams:
102	** The CMC's KillerRobot has one for some reason, even though none of them can remember adding one to it.
103	** Certain portions of the cosplay race have lasers that only vaporize clothing. Nautrally lampshaded.
104	* ForcedToWatch: In order to keep him from attempting to rescue Momo during the big dinner party in Chapter 105, Emi does this to Shou, forcing him to watch the 4Kids version of One Piece.
105	* GoneHorriblyRight: Queen Cosmos is this for her maker.
106	* HandsGoDown: Used twice, in chapter 14:
107	-->Ryoga: Now before I get started does anyone have questions?
108	-->(Everyone raised hands)
109	-->Ryoga: "Besides asking how I know so much about Rhythmic Gymnastics.
110	--> (all hands go down)
111	** And chapter 27
112	-->Emi: This is a test to test your knowledge about anime! You need a 50 or higher to pass. Now any questions?
113	-->(Several hands go up)
114	--> Emi: Oh and before you ask, no this is not based on the first part of the Chunin exam from Naruto.
115	--> (All hands go down)
116	* FountainOfYouth: [[spoiler: Queen Cosmos is turned into a baby once the Elements of Harmony hit her, giving her a second chance.]]
117	* ImprobableWeaponUser:
118	** Once again, Pinkie Pie, who while the gang is trying to defeat [[spoiler: a memory wiped Shampoo]] attacks her with a fish ("Don't worry, it's fake!").
119	** The Anything-Goes Rhythmic Gymnastics match starts off using typical implements, clubs, ribbons, balls and hoops, but by the end such things as bells, tables, hot kettles, pandas and older brothers are being used as weapons.
120	* InSpiteOfANail: "Hearts and Hooves Day" happened before the CMC landed on Earth.
121	** Despite the faked memories, Discord and co. didn't change Belle leading the charge against Principal Kuno, Belle fixiing Akane's hair, and Kasumi and Dr.Tofu are still together.
122	* InterspeciesRomance: Fluttershy and Ryoga are the main ones. Twilight and Seito and Pinkie and Shou to a lesser extent.
123	* IntriguedByHumanity: Lyra becomes this during chapter 76.
124	* InvoluntaryShapeshifting: Pretty much every Jusenkyo curse.
125	** Thanks to Queen Cosmos, in chapter 95, the Mane 6 end up switching randomly.

130	* KillerRobot: SOMEHOW, [[spoiler: The CMC]] make one in chapter 78.
131	* LampshadeHanging: Plenty. One good example is Pinkie trying to use old anime training methods to help Ran, who mentions that she reads too much manga.
132	* LethalChef: Akane and [[spoiler: Sweetie Belle]]. The former is more of her needing to check the labels. Pinkie sings a song about that.
133	* LikeBrotherAndSister: Pinkie and Ranma's relationship.
134	* LoopholeAbuse: Discord tries to invoke this to keep Rainbow Dash from using the Sonic Rainboom in chapter 114 to help remind her friends of their real memories, but Rainbow Dash counters with some of her own. The same thing happens when Cologne shows Shampoo the Heaven and Earth Solution rule, as Discord forgot to make not using that a rule.
135	* LoveAtFirstSight: Apparently the case with Chiyo/Fluttershy and Ryoga.
136	* MeaningfulName: The ponies' human names are all meaningful:
137	** Hikaru Hakumei/Twilight Sparkle: One of Hikaru's meanings is "sparkle", and Hakumei means "twilight".
138	** Ran Issanni/Rainbow Dash: A pun on the word "ran", and Issanni means "at top speed".
139	** Momo Mochi/Pinkie Pie: Momo is derived from momoiro, which means "pink", and Mochi is a Japanese sweet.
140	** Chiyo/Fluttershy: Chiyo means "butterfly", and Onbin means "gentle".

142	** Alex Jackson/Applejack: Speaks for itself.

145	** [[spoiler:Sweetie Belle/Suzette Perle: Suzette is a French name.]]
146	** [[spoiler:Scootaloo/Haruka Gentsuki: Gentsuki means "scooter".]]
147	* {{Moe}}: [[invoked]] Chiyo is called this more than once.
148	* MomentKiller:
149	** Invoked when Pinkie ruins a touching moment between Ryoga and Fluttershy in chapter 85.
150	** And then again by Happosai in the next chapter.
151	* MoodWhiplash:
152	** Chapter 91 is a funny episode until [[spoiler: the last scene, where a mysterious alicorn, Discord's creation, betrays him, knocking him out.]]
153	** A minor case occurs in ch.104, with Momo apparently going Cupcakes..but it ends up being another nightmare of hers.
154	** A similar situation to the first example occurs in chapter 111, as Genma [[spoiler: accepts an alliance with Loofah and Discord to get rid of the ponies.]]
155	* MotorMouth: Momo's is weaponized on more than one occassion.
156	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Cosmos realizes this as the Elements hit her.]]
157	* MythologyGag: During chapter 45, Momo has come to believe that the vice principal knows about the Spring of Drowned Man and wants to use it for evil purposes. This is a nod to the recent live action Ranma movie, where the villain is the vice principal.
158	* NakedFirstImpression: Akane is again the one on the receiving end, but instead of Ranma-kun, it's '''Ryoga''' and Fluttershy she sees in the tub.
159	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Principal Kuno gets whooped by ''every'' named Furinkan student in chapter 69.
160	** Happosai gets one at the end of chapter 75.
161	** Just about every time [[spoiler:Discord]] brainwashes one of the Nerima Wrecking Crew, he ends up doing it during one of these, each one worse than the last.
162	* NoodleIncident:
163	** Something that happened to Twilight involving hamsters in chapter 71.
164	** How Asuza got banned from Disney Stores, as mentioned in chapter 78.
165	* NoOntologicalInertia: Those Queen Cosmos ponified are returned to normal when she's beaten.
166	* NoSenseOfDirection: Ryoga, (of course); however thanks to this being in the present, he's now an internet celebrity because of it.
167	* OddFriendship: Picolet and Momo develop one over the course of his arc.
168	* {{Otaku}}: Shou and Emi. Also, Pinkie becomes one too.
169	* PainfulTransformation: Tsukiko's slow transformation [[spoiler:into a unicorn.]]
170	* {{Polyamory}}: Thanks to an ancient Amazon law called The Heaven and Earth Solution, Ranma has this. Doesn't mean he still doesn't have problems.
171	* PrettyBoy: Tsubasa post-Rarity makeover. Cue fangirls chasing him all over the place the rest of chapter 84.
172	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Belle delivers one to Kuno early on, unfortunately since it's Kuno he doesn't listen to it.
173	* RingOut: The way to win a Martial Art Rhythmic Gymnastics match. Kodachi had goons to move the ring under her, but they got whooped.
174	* TheRival: Azusa and Kodachi become these to Momo and Belle, respectively. Original characters are Ran, Hikaru, and Alex's rivals.
175	** [[VillainTeamUp Rival Team-Up]]: Tsukiko unites the rivals in chapter 67; however, Ryoko(Rainbow's rival) is the mole of the group.
176	* RougeAnglesOfSatin: The fic has these, but beneath them, readers have still enjoyed it. The Recut gets rid of many of the grammar errors.
177	* RabbitSeasonDuckSeason: Haruka pulls this on the bully.
178	* RunningGag: Pinkie breaking the fourth wall, Ranma being hailed as a god among men, Genma getting his ass kicked...plenty to go around.
179	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Discord returns from a vacation, right in the middle of Akane and Nabiki feuding, he runs for it.
180	* SecretArt: Magic is this to the Mahoukaze clan, which is why it bugs Tsukiko so much that Twilight can use it.
181	* SendInTheClones:
182	** [[spoiler: Discord]] creates these on the Mane Six as his first trick. He didn't know the Mane Six [[TookALevelInBadass took some badass levels]], though.
183	** [[spoiler: Done again in Chapter 63, only they're [[OppositeSexClone Opposite Sex Clones]]. They have free will, though, and rebel, but are taken out.]]
184	** [[spoiler: Discord tries this [[RuleOFThree AGAIN]], creating one "superclone." Queen Cosmos, said clone, stabs him in the back, though.]]
185	** [[spoiler: Discord does this AGAIN in ch.115, as he recreates the Mane Six's clones, along with clones of Ryoga, Ranma, and Shampoo with fake memories based on the fake memories trick Discord pulled as Discord's last gambit to stop them from restoring Akane's memories.]]
186	* SharedUniverse: Both the cast of ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' and ''Manga/InuYasha'' have appeared meaning that it's more of a Creator/RumikoTakahashi-verse rather than a pure Ranma-Verse.
187	* ShipperOnDeck: Rarity wants to see Chiyo hook up with Ryoga.
188	* ShoutOut: Due to many factors there's a shout out at least once a chapter. Here's a few:
189	** Chapter 1: "Hey, it's a WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda!"
190	** Chapter 2: When Twilight introduces herself to the Tendos, the book of the same name is mentioned. From her tone, she hates it as much as many of us do.

196	** Chapter 12: During the Martial Arts Marathon, Ryoko's fans sing a version of the ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'' theme song. In the recut, Shou lampshades this.
197	** Chapter 16: When Belle grabs Pig-Ryoga and Kodachi grabs Kuno, Shou plays the Pokémon battle theme. The text even does a Pokémon-style description.
198	*** When discussing what weapons are valid, Momo asks if a steam roller is allowed, as a reference to [[Fanfic/TheKeyToASuccessfulInterview another]] ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' fanfic.
199	*** Momo wonders if Kodachi would grab onto Belle's hair and force her to cut it, in reference to when Sakura cuts her hair in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''.

207	*** Also, Shou tries to sing the same song Konata butchered. Cue him getting booed off the stage.
208	** Chapter 44: Shou and Emi riff on the play ala JustForFun/StatlerAndWaldorf. They're even in a balcony.
209	*** During the riffs they let loose, there are references to ''Film/AChristmasStory'', ''Film/RomeoMustDie'', ''Franchise/SailorMoon'', ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' and ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.
210	** Chapter 48: [[spoiler: Discord's]] attempt at a human disguise is Q, and ''Franchise/StarTrek'' fans soon mob him.
211	*** Emi quickly stops Shou from singing [[Music/TayZonday "Chocolate Rain"]].
212	*** After [[spoiler:Discord returns from [[Manga/UruseiYatsura Tomobiki]]]], he sings the first ending theme from the 1981 AnimatedAdaptation.

215	*** The chapter title is a quote from WebVideo/ThatDudeInTheSuede.
216	*** Arashi and Shingo play the VideoGame/PokemonTradingCardGame.
217	*** Shou takes out his [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Keyblade replica]] while Momo takes out her [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Sode no Shirayuki repilca]].
218	*** Emi has what is known as an "Epic Hiyori Fall" in reference to the time in ''Manga/LuckyStar'' when Hiyori fell and spun around in midair to prevent her drawing hand from getting hurt.
219	** In Chapter 63 the[[spoiler: male Pinkie clone]] character named Ichigo wields a Zangetsu replica.
220	*** Shou once again wields his [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Keyblade replica]].

230	** Ch.103 has Momo do a Pac-Man impression.
231	** Discord does a Phoenix Wright impression in chapter 114 in an attempt to invoke LoopholeAbuse.
232	* SneezeCut: Used a bit; the best case is in chapter 6, where Derpy's mentioned, and both times she drops her cargo on Spike. OUCH.
233	* SpottingTheThread: How Ranma and Twilight manage to [[spoiler: shake off the fake memories Discord gave them]] when they see Princess Luna in her normal form.
234	* TheStationsOfTheCanon: Some of ''Ranma 1/2''[='=]s stations are there, but what happens is different. The intros of Shampoo and Ryoga don't occur as per canon, since they follow Ranma and co. from the beginning. And as NakedFirstImpression shows, no P-chan disguise for Ryoga this time, so whenever he's in pig form he's just known as "Piggy-Ryoga".
235	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: At the Anything-Goes Martial Arts Rhythmic Gymnastics tournament, Momo most defintiely did ''not'' see a unicorn and naked guy after Kodachi threw hot water at them.
236	-->'''Hana''': [[LampshadeHanging That's...oddly specific]].
