You know Genma would pawn off his kid's cell phone at the first opportunity.

Or worse, Happosai steals Ranma's phone and uses it to take pictures of girls and women in their undergarments, because he's too much of a cheapskate to buy one for himself.
Definite Writing Challenge for the kids these days: How many Ranma 1/2 plotlines/story arcs would be solved or at least mitigated with at least basic burner flip-phones and/or something resembling regular internet access widely available?
No, I do not see Hibiki being saved by GPS.
I see said device with GPS blowing up as soon as Hibiki tries to use it. Leading to an irrational fear of electronics trying to kill him.

I mean, why would he be saved by GPS? It can only tell you where you should go and we know that Ryoga doesn't listen to/doesn't understand directions. We've seen him ask for directions, get told where he should go, and then immediately go into the opposite direction. So I'd agree that GPS absolutely wouldn't help him.
Though a one shot in which a portable GPS device would gain sentience out of sheer irritation from constantly getting ignored could be funny.

Nabiki and Deepfake. Remember, she's not above of using blackmail to get money in canon.

At The Halloween Party
​
​
​
"If you had to go as one of the other Sailor Senshi, Saturn has the same kind of hair as you," Satsuki said, flicking her hand through her own long, black, straight hair. "Much better to coordinate like that." Her own Fate/Go outfit obviously required double-sided tape to keep her from bouncing out of it and it was an open question of tape had actually been used.
"I'm not going as Sailor Venus," Rei said, glancing down at her white and yellow outfit. "I'm going as a supernaturally skilled warrior who has died and come back to life twice. Very fitting for Halloween.
"Who's called Sailor Venus," Satsuki said flatly.
"Well, yes," Rei said with a shrug. "She refused to leave my apartment until I agreed and she restitched one of her own costumes for me."
"While I," Asuka said, intruding on their conversation and patting her own chest, running her hand down along the red and black corset and swishing her red cape back and forth around her ankles, "am appearing as the fearless leader and you can tell Ruby's the leader because she's the red one."
"Red ones are always the best, most important character in the show," Rei said in full agreement, getting a shout of agreement from Kyouko who was bent over a caramel apple, trying to get as many chocolate bits, sprinkles and anything else in arm's reach to stick to it as possible. "It's something more people could benefit from understanding."
"What are we understanding?" Shampoo asked as she slipped on by.
"Something else, but it must feel nice to be able to be perfectly understood now, huh?" Luz asked.
"Yes," Shampoo said with a firm nod as she knocked back her glass. "No more 'so-so unlucky, ancient Amazon code say you must do this and that'. I still have the accent."
"Which sounds cute on you, by the way," Amity said, linking a metal-clad arm around her princess's waist.
"Thank you, but I understood how Japanese and English grammar work a long time ago," Shampoo said with a frown. "I hope that people start understanding that now when they see me not speaking like that."
"Your new debut should be next week? Week after that?" Rei asked as she nibbled on her tray of sugary snacks.
"Can't say quite yet. You know how it is," Shampoo said with a roll of her eyes. "But I hope it will get people to see me in a whole new light."
"Hear you in a whole new… echo, surely," Satsuki said, raising one of her nearly-rectangular eyebrows.
Further conversation on that topic was interrupted as the first proper event of the evening finally started. It wasn't scheduled but Bonesaw and Chibi-Usa both protesting loudly over being told to play together as fellow kids was certainly the sort of thing that would spark stories to be recounted in future Halloween parties.
And wasn't making memories exactly what this sort of thing was about?
Yeah, Shampoo is one of the characters who will be portrayed somewhat differently (in terms of translation) in the new show. In Latin Spanish she always talked normally but she had this… coquettish delivery? A seductress in a soap opera (well, Telenovela).

It's almost time for Shampoo's first scene of the Anime Reboot! Even though she is no stranger to the camera, it would be an exaggeration to say she wasn't nervous for this particular shoot.
That is why she had Ranma come to her Trailer for one of their usual quick "stretching session." To calm the nerves!
Calming Down
​
​
​
"What?" Shampoo blinked innocently (maybe, her face was upside down to Ranma's perspective). "Just because two naked, bisexual girls spend an hour and a half alone with each other on a regular basis?"
"And because you crank the heat up so high in here I come out all flushed and sweaty," Ranma said, leaning back before doing the next stretch.
The gymnastic routine Shampoo had come up with had its base in yoga. But with her (and Ranma's) physical capabilities and the stunts that she would be pulling off in her debut episode, it had evolved far beyond that. After two leotards had ripped, and the costumers had refused to lend out their sturdier (and expensive) shooting outfits, the pair of them had just stopped trying to make it work and decided to go au natural during their sessions with each other. Neither of them were going to complain about the view, certainly.
Shampoo didn't respond to that and Ranma glanced at the purple-haired girl. It certainly wasn't like her to let a straight line like that pass her by. Shampoo wouldn't be acting when it came time for her to follow the script and hit on Ranma, male or female.
"If you're worried about how things are going to go, don't be," Ranma said, springing from a seated position to upright in a single smooth motion. She balanced herself on the toes of one foot as she lifted her other leg to point right up at the ceiling. And, just to show that she could, threw in some arm and shoulder stretches at the same time. "You've got every line memorized, we've gone over the stunts till you can do them in your sleep, you've got even more natural talent than Sailor Jupiter, you're going to impress everyone, alright?"
"I know some people I won't be impressing," Shampoo said with a sigh, doing a series of squat kicks that there was barely room in the trailer for. "Shampoo no sound so-so stupid this time. Completely ruin ancient Amazon technique of sounding like bimbo!" She grunted.
"Not the first time you've mentioned that," Ranma said, switching legs. "Don't worry. It will be fine. And me or Ranma-kun will be there every scene you're in." She slapped her chest and smirked at Shampoo. "As befits the star of the show, right?"
Shampoo grumbled at that but she did send Ranma a quick smile that made Ranma smile in turn. She could see the tension leaving Shampoo as she ran through the familiar exercises and worked up even more of a sweat than the oven that she liked to turn her trailer into demanded. And Ranma was sure that Shampoo would be even more relaxed after the episode was actually filmed and she got through it as easily as Ranma knew she would.
And this had been way less stressful than getting Ryoga to calm down before his intro episode!
I am a Ranma/Akane shipper, but I never liked the doubke standard Akane had in the first episode when Ranma called her out for staring at him in the furo. Instead of ignoring it, I think we can take the story in a different direction to fix it...
After the first night when they meet, when Akane asks Ranma about his wall walking while on the way to school, Ranma mocks Akane saying she couldn't do it. She tries...on the bridge over a river...and falls in. At first ranma laughs telling the flailing Akane she deserved it after last night...but as she goes under and doesn't come back up, after a minute, he panics and dives in after her. After administering CPR, Akane recovers while Ranma prostrates himself, saying he had no idea she couldn't swim, and would have never let that happen if he knew before hand. Akane meanwhile is in shock, realing how easily she could have died so suddenly, and how Ranma said she deserved it...panicking she hyper-ventaltes thinking back to after the furo incident and how she said Ranma was a pervert while ignoring how she looked too. Scared she scoots away from Ranma apologizing, babbling , and clearly not all there from her near death experience.
Ranma for his part is confused, but quickly realizes what she is talking about and desperate, holds Akane, forgiving her and saying she doesn't deserve to die over a silly mistake. Tearfully, Akane hugs Ranma back and begins to calm down. Cold and wet, Ranma wonders if they should go back to dry off, but Akane suggests they go to Dr. Tofu's...
This could be used as a jumping off point for future stories. For example, Ranma suggests they skip school after this incident, with Tofu agreeing, saying Akane shouldn't bother with the hoard today. When explaining to Ranma who they are and what they want, Ranma is disgusted at how desperate they are. Tofu confides to Ranma, that Akane is more fearful than she lets on of them and Kuno, especially since who knows what they would do to akane if they won. Ranma for his part, doubts they wouldn't go beyond dating her, but as Tofu points out, they have been desperate for months, and may force her to do...things...if any of them win.

Since I seen saint Seiya, I sometimes wonder if saint seiya was popular in the usa at the time if their would have been more saint seiya ranma crossovers, I mean as much as I love fuka fics Ranma would make a better saint then a senshi
I've never liked serious Ranma fanfic as much. While the series can take serious turns, it's always on a base layer of comedy. Like, dealing with the ramifications of being a girl and a boy is one thing...but meanwhile, that guy's stuck turning into a PANDA. (Although that could work...Ranma's sitting around, about to start angsting...and Ryoga and Mousse point out that at least his alternate form isn't EDIBLE.)
Literally the only aspect of Ryoga's pathological grudge bit I do not hold against him is considering Ranma's curse small change compared to the whole Small Prey Animal thing.

Here is a crack idea you could take dead fucking serious. an alternative spring au where Ranma fell into the spring of the drowned 9 foot vampire lady where Ranma cursed form is an exact duplicate of Alcina Dimitrescu from resident evil (maybe deaged or keep her 40 for extra drama) Now this could played for comedy, but you could have a dark story of Ranma trying to live with being a part time vampire, and the worse part is aspects of Dimitrescu cruel monstrous mind still linger in the curse form and Ranma has to learn fast to keep control of his own mind least he does something terrible.. and it especially hard to keep on top of the blood requirements since getting black market blood is hard when you aren't fucking rich and the mental aspect becomes a losing fight if Ranma doesn't keep on top of it. It doesn't help that a 9 foot human body is clumsy for martial arts.

Comprehensive Assessment
​
It wasn't easy, deciding which women were best suited for being her only son's first wife. Luckily, the chart that Nodoka's mother had drawn up for her when she had been a young thing could be applied fairly easily, just substituting a few details between the men that Nodoka had been interested in and the women that were interested in Ranma.​
The numbers never lied, after all, no matter what the current corruption scandal in the Diet might suggest. And yes, Nodoka got a different result every time she did the numbers despite not changing any of the inputs but that was no reason to doubt the system! After all, just look at how well it had worked with her. The equations had said that she should marry Genma and she had. Just imagine what her life would have been like if she had married that rich man Santoro who had just been in the news for his charitable givings.
Nodoka often thought about that but now was really not the time to consider that. She had to give her Ranma the best possible life and wife… wives that she could. And doing the numbers this time said that it was Yukiko Hibiki who would most be suited for Ranma's wife. Both that nice Ryoga boy and Ranma himself had given glowing descriptions of her, though Ranma had kept on laughing as he talked about how smart and cute and all-around wonderful she was. Nodoka had never met the girl herself but she would have to change that soon, she knew. Perhaps she could ask Ranma to set it up.
It was hard work, deciding which girl would be her son's first wife, in charge of all the other women he would marry, but Nodoka knew that it was worth it. And then there would be the work done to determine the second wife, third wife, all down the line. Nodoka made a mental note to try and find out just how much money Ranma would have to support all his wives in. Teachers were an extremely necessary and valuable part of society, so surely a martial arts teacher would have no problem maintaining a large property in Tokyo and keeping several women in comfort, right? And the children they would be having, of course. Three per wife sounded like a good number for Nodoka.
Ah, what a wonderful day it would be to see her Ranma getting married. And then married again. And again. And possible some more times. Nodoka could almost see it now and it was such a fine sight. And she'd have to work to make it happen! Otherwise, who could say how much time Ranma might spend not in wedded bliss and proving himself to be a man amongst men night after night with his wives?
Nodoka had a duty to her son and she was going to make sure that she carried it out, no matter what it might take. What kind of mother would she be otherwise?
