No, that's a little over doing but still more IC then most people write
them.

Sigh. Kunou is supposed to be a grand, old samurai nobility type, with 
the flowery poetics and a court dialect. He's a man among men. The 
humour in his character isn't that he acts like a fool (how fanfic 
writers like to portray him, even though he isn't), it's because 
underneath all the fancy talk and eloquent mannerisms, he's just a 
girl-crazy teenager.

Try picturing Kunou striking a girl, an old man, or a little child. It's 
simply ludicrous. He would take his own life before he'd let a little 
girl be hurt (although, he'd make sure the word got a big, dramatic last 
speech before he went).

As for Kodachi, she is not crazy despite what everyone seems to belive. 
People have always associated her laugh with maniacal mad-scientist 
cackling, and so went a step further and associated her with a crazy 
women. Lawson's portrayal just fortified this bizarre interpretation, 
and over the years, the Kodachi as mad women has become canon. Her true 
character is that of a wicked women, a parody of a machiavellian court 
maiden; she's as sane as she is underhanded, which is to say, very.

As for Ryouga, he was not so much OOC as he was the victim of a 
traditional character slam. He shows up, screams incoherently, engages 
in indiscriminate destruction leading to the injury of an innocent 
bystander, and then Ranma brushes him aside as he rushes to the rescue, 
which somehow leads to Akane Finding Out About P-chan and beats the crap 
out of him.
