It's my opinion that Happosai is the superior opponent, for two reasons: tenaciousness and adaptability. Tenaciousness is obvious: Happosai simply can't be gotten rid of, only delayed or stopped for very brief periods. Incite his interest enough to take notice of you in the first place, and you'll n...

Popping in for a moment... Perhaps it's just me, but I view the Surikomi Eggs (I think that was their name) as a heck of a lot worse than you do, Atlan. Yes, Shampoo was nominally under Kiima's control, but what I got from the page was that Shampoo putting Ranma into the egg was her own idea. And I ...

And you are correct that 'no' is not in the 'outer's' names, but Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto have their own addition at the end, 'ou' which has a meaning roughly of 'king' a masculine King, so not "Queen". And in the second article, which was linked from the first at the bottom, he covered...

NDF: as good as that article looks, and as good as his arguments are, he contradicts himself in it more then once. He also misses several known characters. The character used for Ami holds the same meaning as the french word Ami (friend) and argues against Ami meaning friend because Ami means the m...

I still wonder just exactly how much Ukyo would struggle against Mousse. The fact that *both* Mousse and Ryouga laughed at Saffron for being stunned by a multiton boulder right to the face suggests that Mousse is far too durable for Ukyou to effect much if at all with her attacks. They stated that ...

Ranma vs The Hulk All Ranma has to do is HSH The Hulk. Can you say "pyrrhic victory"? I can. When suitably pissed, Hulk can become strong enough to shatter the entire planet with his fists , and that isn't even his worst anger! Good on Ranma for creating a tornado that kills everyone aliv...

It's a common misconception that Saffron was lacking power. He was at full power, he just had no way to regulate it. Saffron is supposed to serve as basically a living heat lamp. I'd call that a lot less dangerous than someone who can charge up a huge blast to nuke a mountain if he's willing to wast...

Something that hasn't been mentioned yet, but I think should be, Welsper is a female cat. That was a side affect of the new curse he gave himself. Actually, no, that was Hild's idea of a punishment/joke. She transformed him into a female cat when she encountered him at the end of her introductory a...

Of the characters I am reasonably well acquainted with, the best renditions (to me) are Keitarou and Osaka. Keitarou is just about perfect and Osaka actually *benefits* from the spacey look in her eyes, since, you know, she's a bit of a spacecase in canon. Usagi is also very good; her hair isn't per...

I would hazard a guess that the woman to Otaki's right, who looks to be wearing only a towel, is Konno Mitsune ("Kitsune") from Love Hina and that the male with glasses one place up and to the right of Miroku is Urashima Keitarou, also from Love Hina.

Any foot-or-truck estimate under a couple months is, in my opinion, ludicrously optimistic. Walking is self-explanatory; you're looking at, minimum, over ten thousand miles (10,000) because of the meandering routes you'll have to take to avoid the harshest terrain and stay near enough to towns, beca...

I'm using the old style. To be quite honest, I dislike the new look intensely. I could use stronger words than that, but I see no reason to be combative. My first specific complaint is the less clear demarkation between posts. The subsilver theme has each complete post in one large box, that is much...

Well I just checked the list again and it was 47; I hadn't read it since the old version on the old board and I guess my memory was really off. Still, that's a lot more than 13; unless Ukyou's behavior in the final 11 volumes was really heinous she's not going to come close. Personally I really disl...

(And Ukyo seems to be racking up Uglies faster than Akane is), By this list's count, Ukyou had 13 U's in eighteen volumes. On Acey's list, IIRC, Akane had 10 or 11 just in the Battle Dougi incident, which was four or five chapters long -- chapters, not volumes. Granted, that was pretty much the sto...
