Akane, my love for you is sadly unrequited.
So many times have I left to forget you.
But the result is always the same!
I can't forget you.
Why, dear Akane?
Because you are everything to me!
But I've reached a decision!
I won't run anymore!
I'll put an end to my flight from love!
Y'know, Ranma...
we haven't seen Ryoga lately, have we?
Maybe he's off on another trip.
I haven't seen P-chan, either. Strange, isn't it?
If Ryoga's gone, his pig brother wouldn't be here, either.
Why?
Why won't P-chan be here if Ryoga's gone?
"Why?" That's--
Life's strange, y'know?
Hah?
Let's watch some TV. Okay?
Give it up.
Ah'm in a bad mood. You could get yerself killed.
Maybe Ryoga's lost in the West, an' he's fightin' a duel.
Yeah, right.
Give it up.
I'm in a bad mood. You could get yourself killed.
A collar--! Is this somebody's pet?
Yuh dirty cattle rustler!!
Wait! This is a mistake!
I ain't listenin' to no cattle rustler!
Listen to me! It's a mistake! I'm no cattle rustler!
We're finished, Grandpa!
Please! Let the girl go!
Yuh c'n do whatever yuh want with me!
Hey! Nobody wants to hurt you!
It's all a mistake, I tell you!
He's a durned fool.
Justice always wins in the end!
Untie me!!
We usually string up cattle rustlers.
But don't fret. We won't kill ya.
You'll work it off fer us! Right, Anna?
Help's hard to find these days. Yer jest in time.
It's them again!
Charlie! Make a dash for home!
They ain't gettin' away this time!
What's going on?
Help!!
Please! Don't hurt us! Do whatcha want with this guy!
Dirty old--!
Stay out of our way or you'll regret it!
They've got to be the bad guys!
Let'im have it, boys!
Dammit! Don't be skeered!
Quit it! I've got nothing against you!
You're the ones who'll get hurt.
Breaking Point!
Grandpa, could that man be--?
I'm only a stranger passing through these parts.
I have no intention of causing you trouble.
So long.
Please wait!
Tell us your name, at least.
I'm just a nobody.
Wandering from town to town.
Did you hear that, Anna?
We've finally met him!
Wanderin' Joe!!
Hey--!
This sure is a lonely ranch.
This was once a famous ranch in these here parts.
But then the Oshamanbe Clan moved into the territory.
And they been stirrin' up all kindsa trouble fer us.
The men that attacked you?
Now the ranch has gone to ruin.
Me, my granddaughter Anna and steer Charlie eke out a livin' here.
But we've kept on, never givin' up hope.
That's because there's an old legend in these here parts...
that a vagabond hero called "Wanderin' Joe"...
will come to help whenever folks're in trouble.
And he's finally come!
"Welcome Joe the Wanderer"
Ain't it great, Anna?
Thank you, Lord!
Hold on! I'm not the man you were waiting for.
I tell you, I got lost and was only passing through!
So long!
Grandpa? Wanderin' Joe loves to make jokes, don't he?
Shucks, he's jest bashful!
You're wrong, I tell you!
I'm Ryoga Hibiki! This ranch is nothing to me!
Show me the way out!
How cruel!
Without yer help, Wanderin' Joe, how're we gonna live?!
Quit yer cryin', Anna!
I'll jest hafta get rid of the Oshamanbe Clan by myself!
Yer in no condition to do it, Grandpa.
Anna, Charlie, I caused you nothin' but hardship.
I'll be prayin' fer yer happiness from the grave.
Grandpa!!
Okay!
I'll stay for a little while. Satisfied?
Fine! Let's go git them varmints!
The sooner the better!
Hey--!
Git'em! Git'em!
Ryoga, let's fight proudly!
Justice will always win out!
"Dummy" "Idiot"
Yuh dirty ol' coot!!
C'mon, if yuh dare!
Wanderin' Joe will take you on!
Hey--!
Wanna fight?!
Anna, let's fight'em our own way!
Yes, Grandpa!
What the--?
Take that, Oshamanbe Clan!
Felt great, didn't it, Grandpa?
Hey!
You dirty--!
Wait for me!
Come back!
How's the bath?
Ryoga sure do love his bath!
I can't come out with Anna sitting there.
By cracky! Old age sure addles yer brain.
You young'uns must wanna have a nice talk by yerselves.
We're in the way, ain't we, Charlie?
You ain't in the way. Yer awful, Grandpa.
Anna, have a nice, long talk, girl.
Wait, don't go--!
Oh! Here's a postcard from Ryoga!
What's it say?
"Akane, are you well? As Wanderin' Joe...
"I wage a furious battle with villains every day...
"and help unfortunate people."
"Wanderin' Joe"?
Who's he?
And since I've been here, my skills have greatly improved.
WESTERN NOODLE
What'll it be, sir?
Miso -butter corn. Noodles, al dente.
We're out of corn right now.
Yuh sure got guts.
Nobody's ever refused me an' lived.
Please don't kill me!
Don't move! You'll stir up dust!
If you want it so badly, take mine.
Miso-butter corn.
Yer good.
Ah'm from the Oshamanbe School of Western Martial Arts.
Ah'm Ushinosuke Oshamanbe. Who're you?
Ryoga Hibiki.
Ah'll remember you.
And pay you back.
Ryoga...
Ryoga?!
Rats!
Back in town, I should've asked for directions to the way home.
Ryoga!
Big trouble! It's Anna!
What happened to Anna?!
Read this.
"If you want the girl back, come to Hell's Gorge.
"The Oshamanbe Clan."
Dirty varmints! Ushinosuke's back so they're stirrin' up more trouble!
That guy?!
He's the first Oshamanbe son and a bad'un!
He's master of the Oshamanbe School of Western Martial Arts!
He left on a trip a few years ago.
What'll they do to Anna?
Poor li'l gal.
Poor gal!
Take me there! To Hell's Gorge!
Ryoga!
So yer that meddlin' stranger?
I knew we'd meet agin.
Yer not gettin' away this time.
Hand Anna over peaceably before you get hurt.
Ah developed the most powerful martial arts style on earth.
Other martial artists quake in their boots.
I never lost in battle. Fight me first!
Fine! I'll fight you.
But if I win, never bother Anna or their ranch again!
Sure thing.
Take this!
Easy!
Anna!
Oh, no!
Try and avoid this!
If that chain gets me, it's over!
Gotcha!
Rats!
I've won!
Giddyap, Kotaro!
Ryoga!
Dirty--!
This is what happens when yuh get in our way!
This'll teach you!
I've gotta get out of this. I've gotta!
Wait--!
What--?
I can keep up with you now! C'mon, let's go!
Kotaro! Faster, faster!
You lose! Give up!
He did it!
Ryoga...!
Ryoga!
Come back here!
Take this! Breaking Point!
Are you all right?
Ryoga!!
Ain't it great, Anna?
Has any girl ever loved me more?
If I lose this chance, I might never find love like this again.
Akane--!
I... I...!
A penny for your thoughts?
Anna!
Ryoga, I'm so happy right now.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could all be together like this forever?
Ryoga?
Anna, I'm sorry.
I've...I've got to go!
Huh?
I'm Ryoga Hibiki, not Wanderin' Joe.
I've got to love Akane, Anna.
Ryoga!
Ryoga! Ryoga!
Don't look back, Ryoga!
If you look back, you'll weaken!
I've got to get back home!
To someone I can't stop loving!
What a cruel parting!
Come back, Ryoga!
Forgive me, Anna!
Ryoga--!
Ryoga?! Ryoga?!
You're cruel! Ryoga--!
Anna, forget Ryoga. Wanderin' Joe's gone off into the sunset.
Hey, it's P-chan!
What's wrong, P-chan?
C'mere!
Where were you? I missed you so much.
