Proginoskes Wrote:... And now I'm imagining Ranma as a Genius from Genius: the Transgression. The obvious point of Breakthrough is Jusenkyo, and the obvious Catalyst is either Grimm (rage and disgust with the world as it currently is) or Klagen (sorrow and personal tragedy). A Genius's entire outlook becomes coloured by his Catalyst, so those two options can lead to very different stories.I think it's obvious that Ranma already is a Genius. All of his Miracles come in the form of weird martial arts techniques, and Ranma is Unmada (he thinks his theories are true, and reality changes to match).
EDIT: have a URL, since I'm on my iPhone and can't remember the link syntax. sites.google.com/site/moochava/genius
It would also explain some of the characters to say that they're Beholden fixated on Ranma.
