Hi-yah!
By now, you know Ranma
of the Saotome School of Anything Goes Martial Arts,
as well as Akane of the Tendo Dojo.
They were arranged to be married by their parents.
-Ranma! -Huh?
Don't tell me what to do!
And you know about Ranma's little problem.
He is so annoying!
When splashed with cold water, he transforms into a girl.
Into a fine lady if you ask me.
RANMA1/2
We've got a big winner! Claim your prize!
ABDUCTION OF …AKANE?
Please Mister, let me take a turn next!
ESCAPE THE HEAT LOTTERY
Oh, you've gathered a lot.
-All right, spin it ten times. -Here goes!
White again?
Here, your ninth pack of tissues.
Does this thing have any good prizes?
Of course! Okay, this is your last spin.
-Oh, look, they're doing a lottery. -Wow, Kasumi!
-Akane's getting into this, isn't she? -C'mon, c'mon!
She seems to have her heart set on winning this prize.
Woo-hoo! Oh, yeah!
Big winner!
Claim your prize!
This was the one I was aiming for.
I'm happy for you, Akane.
Hmm?
Ranma Saotome's fiancée, Akane Tendo.
-You will come with me as my hostage! -Who's there?
-Oh! -Watch out!
Huh?
I have you now.
Oh, my, what a strange man!
And who the hell are you?
Tell this to Ranma Saotome!
-If he wants me to return Akane Tendo… -Excuse me?
…come to the place on that ticket!
Hey, come back!
He's totally convinced that pig was you.
Ugh. How rude! Who even was that guy?
I mean, I finally won the stuffed pig
after all that shopping I did for the lottery.
-Tickle, tickle… -Why can't you get him back yourself?
Because, he said for you to come on your own.
On top of it all, that weird little freak
is convinced the stuffed pig is actually me.
Well, knowing you,
you're more than capable of sending one or two weirdos flying.
Can you please get it back for me.
A stuffed pig, huh?
Well, I guess I had better go then to help out,
since a stuffed animal is so much cuter than you!
Oopsie!
Guess my hand slipped!
Hey, what the hell?
Geez,
I'd probably be much better off with that stuffed pig as my fiancée!
Just forget it.
I'll go get it myself, I don't need your help!
Ranma, you go.
It's part of your training.
Remember son,
Akane is a delicate young lady.
If that's true then why is there a table on my head right now?
I'll go by myself, so forget it.
I'll send that weirdo flying just like you said!
-Oh, Ranma… -Just spit it out already!
FIVE THOUSAND YEN
Now, now, don't be like that.
There's no harm in going together and sending 20 or 30 weirdos flying.
This bill is soaking wet.
-The two of you can dry it together. -Do you even hear yourself right now?
-Ranma… -Fine, okay!
Have a good time! You can stay out late if you want!
The two of them are always fighting about something.
We need them to start acting like a proper engaged couple.
Mm-hmm. If they don't,
it's going to be trouble when I hand them this dojo.
Okay, Dad, your bath is ready for you.
Mmm!
Mmm, this is some tasty corn!
Ranma, pay attention. Don't forget why we came here.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Wow. Ni hao, Ranma!
Oh, it's Shampoo.
It's the perfect time for a date.
Sorry, Shampoo, I can't date you right now.
I have to go get Akane back.
For the last time, it's not me! It's my stuffed pig!
This is where he told us to meet him.
"China Acrobatic Troupe Special Invitation"?
I recognize this. I got the same thing delivered to my place earlier.
-Hmm? -Huh?
A WARM WELCOME
Lai, lai, lai. Lai, lai, lai.
Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls!
Come one, come all! A fun show is about to begin!
CHINESE ACROBATIC TROUPE A WARM WELCOME
I don't know anyone in the circus.
Huh?
It's been a while, Ranma Saotome.
Looks like we're going to have a fun show today.
Wait a minute! You're…
Mousse!
Ranma Saotome, until you relinquish Shampoo to me…
Akane Tendo will stay in my possession!
Hey, cut it out! You're making Akane uncomfortable!
That stuffed pig and I look nothing alike!
Hmm?
Huh? When did this happen?
-Super nearsighted, as usual. -Mmm…
You better get it back from him.
Coming to you all the way from China… our grand spectacle will now begin!
Whoa, that was amazing!
It's so great we got those free tickets.
Hmm. Laugh now while you can…
You should prepare yourself, Ranma Saotome!
All done.
I'd now like to make you an offer!
Hey, that's my pig!
Akane!
Ladies and gentlemen, whatever audience member is able
to come up onto the stage now
shall receive this as a gift!
Hey, what are they doing with Akane!
You know something,
I'm getting pretty sick of that joke!
Thank you so much for volunteering.
Now, what fate will befall this captured young lady?
-That was dangerous, you know! -Now, everyone, focus this way!
-As I proudly present to you… -Hey, you!
-Our troupe's superstar! -Listen to me!
A big round of applause for Mumu the Duck!
Did the duck really throw those knives?
-Not a chance. -Must be a trick or something.
Whoa, that duck's incredible!
This is no ordinary duck.
Bloodlust!
Ranma!
That duck's incredible, but so is that girl!
Oh, you bastard!
Are those bombs?
What? They disappeared!
What an amazing trick!
Ranma…
So, that duck was you after all, huh, Mousse?
Ha. That knife trick earlier was just my greeting card.
The show from hell is just getting started.
Prepare yourself, Ranma Saotome.
Since you were so kind to give us these tickets,
I'll be sure to enjoy myself.
Huh?
Do you know what this is, my dear friend Ranma?
Water?
Not just any water.
It's the result of my training.
CHINA, A FEW MONTHS AGO
Right here, sir. This is the legendary training grounds, Jusenkyo.
I'll train hard and beat Ranma once and for all!
With that… I took my glorious first step forward.
Whoa, on your very first step.
You just fell into the Spring of Drowned Duck.
The Spring of Drowned Duck has a tragic legend
in which a duck drowned 1,300 years ago.
Since then, it has been cursed.
It turns anyone who falls into its waters into a duck.
Listen… In my time…
I've seen a lot of things as a guide.
But you would have to be the first person to immediately fall into a spring.
Hmm.
Listen up, Ranma Saotome!
The moment I fell into that spring…
-Uh… -…I came up with a strategy
to use against you!
What are you doing, Ranma?
-Why, you-- -Hey!
Hmm?
So then,
this water was the result of your training?
It's really that scary?
Could it be this water…
It's just as you've guessed.
It's water from the Spring of Drowned Duck that I drowned in!
I've got you now--
Mousse!
I won't let you mess with my Ranma.
Do you hear me?
I don't have even the slightest desire to date you.
-Huh? -Ranma?
-Are you okay, airen? -Sh-Shampoo! I-I'm fine, okay?
This isn't the time for this--
Watch out!
Stop, Mousse. What are you doing?
Ranma?
Come up here and get me!
You've got terrible aim!
You bastard. You still had more--
Watch out!
GOLD FISH SCOOPING
Hmm?
Oh, my God!
Are they bobbing for ducks now?
Let's try it!
-Mousse, listen to me… -Hey kid.
Don't take your frustration out on me!
If you were even just a little bit more put-together,
I wouldn't have to deal with Shampoo all the--
Sh-Shampoo…
And here I was worried about you.
I'm not mad… just disappointed!
A cat! A cat! Get away! I hate cats!
Geez…
Where in the world did everybody go?
Huh?
Akane Tendo!
No!
A ghost! No! No! No! No!
No! No! No!
Stay back! Stay back! No ghosts! No, no, no, no!
Huh?
Mousse, is that you?
Hmm?
Akane Tendo.
You will be my bait for luring Ranma Saotome.
Lai, lai, lai!
A cat!
-Lai, lai, lai! -Hmm?
THE ASTOUNDING DUCK GIRL AKANE
Th-This is…
Stop struggling.
Ranma Saotome.
If you don't come save her,
your fiancée will become a duck forever!
Okay, then! We will now fill the tank with this magic water!
Once the tank is completely filled…
The captured young lady will miraculously transform into a duck!
Ranma… When you jump in to save her, that will be your final moment.
There, there! No need to make a fuss!
And now, she will become a duck…
In three…
Two…
One!
Over my dead body, Mousse!
Ranma!
My yukata will get wet!
Oh, no! The Spring of Drowned Duck water.
Gotta stop it!
There we go! Phew.
Huh…
Do it again!
I'm all wet!
They're not turning into ducks.
You fell for my trap, Ranma!
That's just regular tap water!
The real Spring of Drowned Duck is over here!
Drink up Ranma!
Turn into a duck!
Ranma!
Shampoo!
Shampoo how could you?
Wow! Look! The tiger turned into a duck!
Why are you protecting Ranma?
Why, Shampoo, why?
Why don't you try asking her, you nearsighted weirdo!
-Tell me once and for all how you feel! -I hate you.
I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.
I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.
You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You.
But why… why Shampoo…
What did I do to make you hate me so much?
Shampoo.
Marry me. Please!
Where are you looking, Mousse?
Since long ago, I've only had eyes for Shampoo.
Shampoo.
Be my wife.
I proposed to you so many times, and yet…
I feel so sorry for him.
All right that's enough, Mousse. Chin up.
Ranma?
Listen, you like Shampoo, right?
Then don't give up!
And if someone's in your way, send 'em flying!
After everything I've done to you…
You still try and cheer me up?
You're a good guy, aren't you?
-Yeah. -Now I'll take the someone in my way
and send him flying!
I'm feeling much better!
Oh, my God!
Seriously? I can't believe you.
Mousse you're such a jerk!
How dare you! How could you put me through this?
Mousse…
SPRING OF DROWNED DUCK
So he cared about me that much?
Ha!
What's the matter with you?
I'm only trying to introduce poor old Mousse
to his new duck girlfriend.
It'll be such an improvement!
-Ranma, why are you getting in the way? -Isn't it obvious?
Enough dodging my beloved Shampoo's attacks…
Just accept it!
I will not let you freaks turn me into a stupid duck!
This is bad! Water's shooting everywhere!
Hmm?
Huh?
Akane!
What about the girl?
Yeah, what happened to her?
She'll probably appear as a duck any second!
A-Akane?
Akane!
