I second Shinnosuke, it is unlikely that anything other than a lone death is awaitng him.

As from the options here is my rank for tragicness:
1)Ranma
2)Kuno
3)Ryoga
4)Shampoo
5)Ukyo
6)Mousse
7)Akane
8)Kodachi

Maybe not, although at least she was never as far as we know almost eaten (but she could have been offscreen). Ryoga has been. Being eaten isn’t the only danger she faces. There are animal cruelty , being ran over by a car , attacked by a dog or another cat. And either way I find it less likely she...

If they are trying to kill him, he has not gotten rid of them if they are trying to kill him. It isn't Ranma they will target, it will be Akane, Genma, Soun and probably the rest Tendo girls. Actually Nabiki has done a favor to everyone by selling invitations to wedding, considering the reaction at...

Is anyone saying this? I, at least, am certainly not trying to say that none of it can be taken seriously at all, merely making a distinction based on what should be taken how seriously. (And discussing my own heuristic for making that determination.) You may not be saying it, but from your distinc...

Not in the same league as They aren’t in different leagues getting lost in the forest on another side of Japan any time you go outside and risking becoming someone's dinner (and having everyone coldly treat you like the town idiot for it), Being stuck in a cat form isn’t picnic either. If you ever ...

The wedding disaster proved THAT,if nothing else. What Ranma needs is somebody who can not only solve his web of multiple engagements, but who is also willing and able to do so. Too bad Ranma hasn’t met such a person yet. Akane:Is the only one approved of by both Ranma's parents. Approved? What do ...

Because it's funny, duh! I'm not going for a serious fic here. Believable within the Ranma and MtW universes, yes, but not serious. Parody and Comedy is the key here friend. It seems from your comments, you're not quite grasping that I'm more or less mutilating the usual Ranma story line and charac...

I think I'm going with Soun and Genma keeping the engagement a mostly forgotten secret all those years, and so neither Nodoka nor Kimiko or the respective children knew anything of the sort until is was sprung on them. Why? What is your reason to have it beside having a Kimiko beating Genma and Sou...

The argument scene isn't believable. It doesn't make sense for Kimiko not knowing the arrangement in all those years, especially when she is in contact with Nodoka. It is one thing to hiding arranged marriage's knowledge from your kids, hiding it from your wife is a thing whole another. The Idiotic ...

Re: Nodoka and Genma's views on manliness

Genma... his views change depending on the circumstance so ATM I can't really think of anything solid. Genma's insistence on making Ranma a man amongst men is twofold. First reason is to cut Nodoka's protests when they meet (or to keep katana on the wall more precisely. Second it gave him a good wa...

No. I simply observe that the word "miserable" is not an adjective that accurately describes Ranma's emotional state the majority of the time (and that he is generally quite willing to take action in those cases where it does accurately describe it). It isn’t just the emotional state that...

It's valid because, until the third OVA came out, it wasn't mentioned within the series itself, and the third OVA came out ten years after the series started. Point taken, I am not versed in Tenchi lore. By your opinion, until it was mentioned in the series, it wasn't canon, despite it being a well...

And thus, even if we did grant the first part, it would still mean that the "hate" of his interactions with Shampoo (for instance) falls into the category of "not even as hateful as being dumped by a girl you were never serious about in the first place." He hates the idea of not...

Actually, it does count. Yes, Tenchi's mother's name was given out in the series, but NOT until the third OVA came out, and that was more than ten years after the second came out. The problem is you are giving an example about information given later in the series while the subject is about the fac...
