Martial arts battles are also a common theme. Given that the series is centered around martial arts, fanfics will continue this trend. New opponents might be introduced, or different martial arts styles could be explored. It keeps the action part of the story alive.
Love and relationships are also common. Since she has a complex situation, her relationships with other characters, whether it's romantic or platonic, are often explored. For example, how she deals with her feelings for Akane while in her female form.
One common theme is the clash of cultures. Since Ranma comes from a very different world than RWBY, there's often a focus on how his Japanese - influenced upbringing and martial arts background interact with the more Western - inspired RWBY world. For example, his ideas about honor and combat might be different from what the RWBY characters are used to.
One common theme is the 'opposites attract' concept. Ranma is often more down - to - earth and Kodachi is very flamboyant. Another theme is the struggle of their relationship in the context of Ranma's pre - existing love interests. For example, how Kodachi tries to outshine the other girls.
One common theme could be the comical interactions between Ranma and Happosai. Given Happosai's lecherous nature and Ranma's feisty personality, there are likely many humorous situations.
Friendship is also a big theme. Since both Ranma and Naruto value friendship highly in their original series, in the crossovers, they usually form a strong bond. They learn from each other's strengths and support each other in facing various challenges.
Self - discovery is a very common theme. Ranma has to figure out who she is as a trans girl, which includes understanding her new identity and how it fits into her life in Nerima. Another theme is acceptance, both self - acceptance and acceptance from others like her friends and family.
Common themes include friendship turning into love. At first, they might start as just acquaintances or even enemies in some cases. But then, as the story progresses, feelings change. Also, self - discovery is a big theme. Ranma may discover new aspects of himself through his relationship with Herb, and Herb may do the same. Cultural differences also play a role in some fanfics as Ranma comes from a more earthly background while Herb has his own unique background.
One common theme is the clash of different power systems. In Naruto, there are ninjas with their jutsus, in Ranma 1/2, there's the martial arts and the curse, and in YuYu Hakusho, there are spirit powers. Writers often explore how these powers interact when the characters meet. Another theme could be the cultural differences. Naruto has its own ninja culture, Ranma 1/2 has a more comical Japanese setting, and YuYu Hakusho has a darker, more supernatural world. Seeing how characters adapt to these different cultures is also a common aspect.
One common theme could be the challenges of the female Ranma dealing with pregnancy in a crossover universe. Maybe she has to adapt to different cultures or magical elements from the crossover.
Often, there are themes related to identity. Ranma's dual - gendered nature can lead to stories about how he reconciles his male and female selves, especially in romantic or sexual situations as seen in lemon fanfictions. There may also be themes of jealousy or competition among the characters who are interested in either male or female Ranma.
