I disagree, it seems that during the course of the story she is

head together.

	I thought the original point of the story was to deal with what 
happened to Ranma.  Making Akane super-powered (and face it, these are 
super powers here, not chi powers) takes away some of the story's 
"realism."

It is, but his 'world' focuses around him. What happens to him  affects
those around him.

	Consider: If Akane has the potential to become a demigod, then 
there is _no way_ Ranma-chan could be raped by five street toughs 
(transitivity property in action: Ranma-kun beats Ranma-chan beats Akane 
beats entire male population of Furinkan high at once should beat five 
punks).  The Nerima of this fanfic started off as a more "realistic" 
world, with the characters not being avatars of fighting.  Thus 
Ranma-chan _could_ lose, and we had an interesting drama going on.

You're asking about the future, so 'no comment'

	A super-powered Akane gives us two plots, seemingly 
contradictory, each of which would make a good story in its own right.  
I agree that powering Akane up is a good idea, now that Ranma is "out of 
action," but not to such advanced levels.

Wow, a story based in the Ranma 1/2 world with a contradictory plot. Boy,
that's never happened before. ^_-

	As far as the original post went, would Akane use a battle cry?  
Not everyone yells when they use a special move; I'm pretty sure Kuno 
doesn't (well, he does shout a lot, but that's not the same thing).  The 
fighting girls tend to be much more level-headed than their male 
counterparts, and they don't seem to have the need to prove how macho 
they are by announcing their moves to the world.

I know, but I need something to call it, 'fundamental grip' just makes me
unhappy, and it doesn't flow very well. She doesn't need to yell it any
more than Ranma needs to yell 'kachu tenshin amaguriken' but it is still
what the move is called.

I am looking for a name that covers the technique well, flows off the
tongue when yelled, and generally doesn't sound 'too' corny.

Not so hard, eh?
