Ranma/ Fate Stay Night Crossover

For submitting and talking about story ideas, individual scenes that need doctoring, outlines, or other detail work that isn't quite ready for the C&C thread.

Idea submissions must be at least five paragraphs long, and include plot points, summaries of which characters are involved, and, for fanfiction, how it differs from canon. Both original and fanfiction ideas welcome. Though original works should have more development. Replying posts must give actual commentary, no "GREAT IDEA" or "THIS SUCKS".

But as it is, he clearly has great difficulty in getting access to anything remotely reliable supernatural, and uses fake stuff more often than not, why ever would he do that if magic is a KNOWN thing?


Problem detected.

Do not rely on the anime for, well, much of anything. It not only gets characterization wrong, but aspects of the setting wrong as well.

I mean, for one thing Gousenkugi only plays any major role in two arcs and two one-shot chapters. The Cat-Fist arc (His introduction), the Romeo and Juilet Arc, and the Paper Dolls of Love Chapter and the One Punch Armor chapter. The latter two chapters, where he's the central antagonist of the chapters, involve him getting his hand on magic items.

Nowhere in canon is he shown to use "fake stuff"

Just because the people you would expect to know about something also DO, doesn't mean that they are the norm for all of society.


This is not the case.

At major festivals magic items are put on display (Cursed paintings of badly drawn pandas) and even sold. (Magic bamboo that will actually guarantee couple's happiness) Ryoga found the Magic Fishing Rod of Love in a basket with a bunch of them in a gift shop.

This is pretty accurate.

Picture how much low quality consumer products exist in the world. Now do you really think that would be any different if the world had magic in it? Heck no, there'd be tons of cheaply made magic items.

This is used for comedic effect in Ranma 1/2.
