Don't be shy. Eat up, Ranma Honey.
Thanks for all the freebies, Ukyo.
I'll just dig in!
I know my okonomiyaki is good...
but you don't have to wolf it down.
I see! It must be terrible living in someone else's house.
Hey!
You talk as if he gets nothing good to eat at our house!
Ranma, it's because you eat like a pig!
Why, it's the ex-fiancée, Akane. Welcome.
Ex-fiancée?
Right. Now that everyone knows I'm Ranma's true fiancée...
you're his ex-fiancée.
Right, Ranma Honey?
Well, it's got nothing to do with me, anyway.
Sorry to bother you, but I'd like two okonomiyaki to go.
Coming up.
By the way, ain't business been pretty slow lately?
That's right. I almost wonder if all my regular customers moved away.
Maybe they're all at that place.
That's it. Just opened.
The whole school's talking about the crepe wagon.
They're kids from school!
They're all my regular customers.
Banana cream for me!
-- Strawberry! -- Azuki beans!
Behold!
The grilltop magician Crepe Joe unleashes his artistic creations!
Crepe, as soft as a young girl's skin...
enhancing the redness of strawberries!
And in this creme filling with its velvety sweetness...
a flavor of intense richness!
In other words, they taste good, right?!
And the next request?
Huh! You're just a Westernized dumpling maker!
You're just an oddity. A rogue school.
What?!
Are you calling my creations oddities?
You're the one who's stealing my business, aren't you?
Who are you?
Ukyo, the okonomiyaki chef!
I challenge you, Crepe Joe!
Interesting. I accept!
Here I come!
Wha--?!
Miss Ukyo, I hope now you know...
your okonomiyaki are old-fashioned oddities.
-- Wonderful! -- Cool!
Let me try some.
Let's see.
Delicious!
It's good, but that's all.
It lacks battle aura. That's why you lost.
Battle aura...?
Cheer up, Ucchan. Just get that sucker next time!
You know I haven't got what it takes right now.
You're thinking about what that priest said, aren't you?
In order to take revenge on Ranma Honey...
I forsook my femininity to train from morning till night.
But now I cook okonomiyaki, not to defeat Ranma Honey...
but to please him.
That's ruined my skill. How ironic.
My love for Ranma Honey has robbed my okonomiyaki of its battle aura!
That's nothin' to cry about.
Look, your okonomiyaki's great! It don't need a battle aura!
Honest, Ranma Honey?
So even if my okonomiyaki is weak, you'll marry me?!
Uh, that's somethin' else, now...!
I thought so. With my skills diminished...
I'm not worthy of you, a martial artist of the Anything-Goes School.
My mind's made up!
I'm not coming back...
until I can cook okonomiyaki that's worthy of Ranma Honey.
Akane, look after Ranma Honey until I come back!
-- G'bye! -- Ucchan!
Ranma, go and stop Ukyo!
But then she and I will hafta--!
I mean, won't that make things worse?
But--!
No good. Why not?
I've tried, I can't get back that battle aura.
I can't cook anything but spiritless okonomiyaki.
I'll have to give up Ranma Honey.
Forgive my rudeness earlier.
For hundreds of years, our illustrious Manpukuji Temple...
has been visited by countless famous chefs.
A certain man from old Osaka made an offering of okonomiyaki.
Although this was made a century ago...
the powerful battle aura of this okonomiyaki...
has kept it fresh, retaining its silky-soft texture.
The tonakatsu sauce is still aromatic.
The sprinkled seaweed garnish, still green and crisp.
The flavor has never diminished.
This is the 100-year-old okonomiyaki.
A hundred years?!
That man from Osaka...
as I recall, he was from the same school as you.
It can't be Grandpa!
No, it must be the founder of the Kuonji School of Okonomiyaki...
Great-Grandpa!
What a strange twist of fate! His blood runs in your veins!
There's no need to give up!
With proper training...
you can cook okonomiyaki that's every bit as powerful...
as its 100-year-old predecessor!
How should I train, Abbot?
Please! Won't you teach me?
Very well. But my methods are harsh.
That's just what I want!
CLOSED -Uchhan
I wonder what she's doing now?
She might never come back again.
We've got to keep this shop going, at least until Ukyo returns!
So klutzy you and I're gonna make okonomiyakis?
We have to! There's nobody else.
How can you get customers that way?
I'll get them and show you!
What's the idea, Akane?!
Welcome...!
Pigtailed Girl! So it's true that you're working part-time here!
A token of my esteem!
Thank you...!
That dirty Akane--! But this is for Ucchan. I gotta put up with it!
Welcome!
What would you like, Kuno?
Akane Tendo's here, too?! That's two star attractions!
Love it, love it!
Kendo teammates! It's my treat! Order anything you want!
Okay! Get a taste of my cooking skills!
W-Wait, Ranma...!
How was that?!
Idiot!
Temple of the Satisfied Stomach
I'll do it! I'm doing it!
What do I do next?
You've done well. Now fry up 108 okonomiyaki every day.
-- 108 okonomiyaki?! -- Correct.
Empty your heart as you fry up each one...
and erase all 108 earthly desires.
Then will you achieve nothingness...
and battle aura will fill you!
I'll do it! I'll never lose to that Westernized weirdo!
I'll fry and fry and fry him out of town!
That's the spirit! Now come!
It's gettin' late. Where're all the kids, anyway?
We lowered the prices, and they said they'd come.
I'll go see!
What's that?!
Hey! What're you all doing?!
I'm sorry, Akane! We came this far, but we just couldn't resist.
Our feet brought us here.
He can't set up shop here. It's obstruction of business.
How regrettable. I came today to help you.
Take my advice. Why not close up your failing business...
and become one of my branch restaurants?
It's a sure moneymaker.
You're smooth. Ya wanna take over Ucchan's shop, don'tcha?!
I wish you'd call it a good deed.
The weak will perish and the strong survive.
I only want to save you weak ones.
Ya big-headed--!!
Let's fight and see who's the weak one, Crepe Joe!
Fine. But the loser must leave this town. Agreed?!
Fine! Fight!
Ranma! You can't make that decision--!
106...107!
108! How's that for today?!
-- No...no...! -- No more? You give up?
At last, battle aura has returned to my okonomiyaki!
I did it!!
-- Thank you, Abbot!! -- No...no...!
No more! I'm stuffed! I can't eat any more!
Let's go, Crepe Joe!
Ranma, why should you fight him?
It's exactly what he wants!
Don't worry. I've learned Ucchan's moves!
Firecracker Mix!!
Cement batter!
What's this--?!
Take that! Ucchan's Special!
Like it?! It's Special Batter mixed with cement and glue!
Next, Rubber Yakisoba!
I'll give you some new-wave cuisine!
You fool!
Is that all you've got?!
There's more! Firecracker Mix!
Crepe Counterattack!
I've still got more. Here's my Crepe Special!
Make sure you savor it!!
Tear-gas pellets!
Ranma! Fight!!
Don't worry. Those were just hors d'oeuvres.
Here's my main dish! Golden Death Crepe!!
You dirty--! Now I'm mad!
Let me warn you. No human power can break up my special batter.
And an added feature: Gunpowder Cream.
A truly explosive crepe, wouldn't you say?
G-Gunpowder--?!
Poor thing, you can't even say, "That was delicious."
That was...delicious...!
Idiot!! Pull yourself together!
If you lose, Ukyo will lose her diner!!
Joe! Joe! Joe!
Let's finish you off with dessert.
Ranma!!
What--?!
Ranma Honey, I'll take over.
Okonomiyaki Ukyo will bring this guy down!
Ucchan, go! I'm right behind ya!
Just watch, Ranma Honey!
You'll see what I learned from making 108 okonomiyaki every day!
All the okonomiyaki in the world won't help you in this battle!
Amateur! I'll pay you back for what you did. With interest!
Quiet!
Ucchan's movin' way better now.
Soft. Is that all you've learned?
I'll fix you the same thing. Savor it fully!
Crepe Joe's most powerful main dish, Golden Death Crepe!
Great-Grandpa, protect me!
I guess I've won.
No! It wasn't the gunpowder!
It was Ucchan's battle aura that exploded!
Huh?
What? Drat!!
Watch carefully!!
Deathblow!
The original Naniwa product, Kuonji School...
Human Okonomiyaki Blow...
Wild Dragon!
I-I give up.
Your order, sir!
She did it!
You were great, Ucchan!!
Ucchan wins!
Ucchan! Ucchan! Ucchan!
What do you think, Ranma Honey?
Isn't it just brimming with battle aura?
Really? It tastes the same to me...!
I'll work hard to make okonomiyaki...
that's just like Great-Grandpa's legendary 100-year-old one!
Legendary 100-year-old okonomiyaki? What's that?
Anyhow, now I've become a fitting fiancée for you, Ranma Honey.
I'll feed you okonomiyaki every day from now on.
Every...day...?
Right. Morning, noon, night. Even for snacks. Leave it to me.
Here, open wide!
Aren't you lucky, Ranma? We'll have fewer dishes to wash.
I can't make sushi any better than this! I'm finished!
By your technique, I see you're from the Big Tuna School of Sushi?
