General Questions mk 2

[timdraco]

well i wouldnt say that, i mean ive read fics where he forgives them both and ranmas life goes back to normal, well normal for ranma. some of those fics are pretty good. i guess it depends if u want it strictly canon or au. also if u do go for a au fic make sure u read others to get a general fell of them. U dont wanna start out with a au fic and everyone who reads it goes wow i read that before.

Can anyone refresh my memory as to the names of the two Joketsuzoku artifacts that Cologne gives Ranma to fight against Pink & Link? I believe they were a shield that rendered the bearer immune to poison attacks (but which was destroyed if touched by herbal medicine), and a sword that shouted warnings when brought near poison, and could absorb a poison attack itself - but which lost all of its magic after doing so.

The poison-crushing shield and the poison-slicing sword.

I'm having trouble remembering where Genma's and Ranma's swim to China was mentioned. Could someone remind me, please? XD

[Quickshot0]

It's mentioned in volume 4 chapter 21, I believe. During the arc of Shampoo erasing Akane's memory and Ranma planning on heading back to China via swimming like last time, as he doesn't have the money for another method.

[Crescent Pulsar R]

Thanks a bunch. ^^

It's also shown when Genma flashbacks to how he and Ranma were cursed in the first volume/episode.

That's for the anime, right? Just checking since I don't recall it being in the manga, at that part.

Question about the ultimate weakness moxibustion. Does it noly seal the strength or does it also affect the body's toughness and conditioning?

From what I see in the manga, it just saps his offensive strength while leaving his endurance and toughness alone. He takes repeated full force attacks from Kuno and Mousse but remains conscious, though roughed up, but can't inflict any damage back.

Here's another example of his 'toughness' during the moxibustion arc:

Able to take a full force hit and still stay conscious just like he can without the moxibustion effect.

Thx.

there are many different dipictions of ranma being raised by nodoka. most of the alterverse fanfics have as a more civilized version of himself. a lot more sociable a little less skilled, but still the ranma we know and love.

in the last book of jim bader's reality series there was a ranma who reminded me alot of shinji from evangelion. i got the feeling he was every bit as skilled as alteverse ranma, but he was really shy, litterally the opposite of what you'd expect ranma's personality to be like.

finally in the was a fic were ranma replaced another version of himself. this one was more like Ataru Moroboshi, he didn't know martial arts he wasn't in shape, and practically everybody hated him. so my question is what do people think would be the most likely end result of nodoka raising ranma instead of genma.

my second question is what do you think ranma's breaking point is. over the course of the series he has put up with alot. what do you think it would take for ranma to finally say the hell with it.

I was hoping someone could refresh my memory about how Shampoo speaks in Japanese. In English, her Japanese is translated as being broken, when it's actually archaic, right?

[Dumbledork]

In the French version Shampoo has no accent at all and speaks a perfect French just like everyone else.
