Not good enough yet!
I'll show you!
What a beautiful brassiere!
I made its acquaintance.
We've come a long way together.
Pervert!
Thief!!
Get out of here!
But I never gave up... and I finally got it!
Now for the ironing.
Blast! Dirty Pop!
Here I come!
My precious brassiere--!
Curse you, Ranma!
An opening!
That'll do for today.
How dare you, dare you, dare you harm my precious collection?!
Ranma? How about a match with me?
Sure.
-- But it's for real, now. -- Just what I want!
"Closed Temporarily"
Aiyaa! Closed today?
No be wimping out. 3000-year-old Chinese medicine make you all better.
Ol' freak! He'll pay for this. I'm gonna get 'im!
Now calm down, calm down, sir.
If you wanting to be strong, I having perfect thing for you.
Use this.
What's that?
3000-year-old Chinese secret medicine, Shadow-Self Incense.
Shadow Self?
Practice with own shadow and improve martial arts skills.
It ancient secret incense to achieve heights of art.
This one my last package I got.
I throw in incense burner, all for ¥3,000. You buy?
So you ended up buying it?
You're so weird. How can you spar with your own shadow?
I'll just give it a try. Gimme that incense burner.
When the smoke covers me, my shadow will come to life.
Ugh! It smells terrible!
There. That should do it.
Shoot. It's no good, after all.
You shouldn't buy junk like that. It's all just a scam!
Look!
-- No way! -- Yay!
Now let's train!
That's my shadow. He can dodge my moves.
Being Ranma's shadow, it's strong! It's truly like a second Ranma!
Huh?
What happened, anyway?
Didn't the incense burn itself out?
Oh.
Something's written here. Couldn't there be harmful side effects?
How could that be? I'll try anythin' to be strong!
-- But-- -- Back to trainin'!
Here, some tea.
Akane? Ranma's been training for three days without eating properly.
Will he be all right?
I was reckless in my youth, too. Martial arts training is fine!
He could be going a bit overboard.
This journey might be a long one. I wonder what Akane's doing now?
Ryoga!
A-Akane!
Wh-What's she doing here? Am I seeing things?
-- What're you doing here, Ryoga? -- Huh?
Is that so?
That's how Ranma's training?
Can't you do something?
All right, Akane. If you want me to, I'll help. Leave it to me.
Thank you, Ryoga! You're a true friend, aren't you.
D-Do you really think so?
Whaddya want, Ryoga?
I hear you've been using a silly training method.
Just thought I'd see if it's working.
Good. I been wantin' to test the Shadow-Self method myself.
That's just kid stuff.
Can it defeat a tough opponent like me?!
He's fast! Ranma's raised his level of speed!
It must've been the Shadow-Self Incense.
He's powerful! This is a completely different Ranma!
Ranma!! Didn't you overdo it?! Ryoga was only trying to help!
Whaddya talkin' about, Akane? Ryoga fought me, and I won.
-- I can't be feelin' sorry for him. -- Ranma!
I gotta train now. You're botherin' me. Go away!
What's happened to you, Ranma? Ranma--?!
Isn't it nice how the weather's cleared up?
So true!
Ranma! He's been training quite diligently, hasn't he?
Very good!
His shadow isn't moving!
Ow.
I think we had too much to drink last night!
Let's skip our morning practice!
More, please!
You ate it all up. There isn't any more.
Ranma, that was your fifth bowl.
Maybe I'm trainin' too hard. I'm really hungry.
It wasn't me!!
I didn't do that!
Ranma! Clean up after you eat!
This was all under your covers!
I knew it.
I-It wasn't me! I'm innocent! Happosai or somebody must've framed me!
Ranma? Perhaps you oughtn't have left evidence behind, then.
Not you, too, Kasumi? No fair!
Who's there?!
Ranma...!
What a great nap. Guess I'll wash my face--
Ranma!
Akane! Why're you like that--?!
You LECHER!!
What was that for, anyway?
Ranma, I hope you didn't--?
You peeped at her?
-- What's going on? -- What happened?
N-No! I never did that! I didn't!
How cruel! My precious, precious collection!
It was my life...!
The poor thing. Happosai's in bed from the shock.
Serves him right!
But who'd burn up his entire lingerie collection?
It must've been someone who really hated him.
Hey!
Ranma, he might forgive you if you confess now.
It wasn't ME!
It'll be terrible if he finds out later.
I'd never do somethin' so underhanded.
And peeping at Akane wasn't underhanded?
It really, really wasn't me!
I'm tellin' ya...
I never emptied the fridge or burned Happosai's collection.
And who wants t' peep at your body?!
Hey! Ranma?! Your shadow!!
Isn't this a side-effect of the Shadow-Self Incense?!
Impossible!
That's it! My shadow! It was my shadow!
-- Aren't you going to bed yet? -- No.
I don't want my shadow runnin' around. I ain't gonna sleep tonight.
-- Now what. -- Nothing! G'night!
Akane--!
Akane, you coulda gone easier on the salt...
Ranma? You're Ranma, right?
The shadow...!
Akane--!
Rats!
Akane--!
-- Come back! -- Ranma!
-- Akane, what happened? -- Ranma's shadow attacked me!
Shadow?!
I can't let ya run loose anymore.
Thanks to you, I'm bein' blamed for everything.
Prepare for defeat!
-- He's fighting his own shadow? -- How eerie.
It's not Ranma's shadow! It's a second Ranma, that's broken free from him!
I see. That explains it.
The one who ate all the food, burnt the lingerie...
peeped into the bathroom, and sneaked into Akane's bedroom...
was the embodiment of Ranma's true desires.
The shadow did what Ranma normally wouldn't dare to do.
Things he normally wanted to do, but couldn't?
-- Those were his desires? -- Ugh.
Hey, the shadow's better.
Ranma...!
Ranma!!
-- Ranma! -- Blast--!
Stop, Shadow! I shall fight you! Come!
My opponent is a formless shadow.
The mind must see! Visualize his movements in my mind.
I see him!
Huh?
-- He disappeared! -- Where? Where is he?
-- Coward! Did you run away?! -- Dad! Behind you!
A shadow has no weight! Take this! Saotome Fan-Wave Attack!
Waving can't move a shadow! Call me a cynic, but...
Vexing.
Take this! I'll say your name, and if you answer...
the Legendary Gourd will suck you in!
What is the shadow's name?
I'll nail you down!
-- Take me on next! -- No, Akane!
See? I told you.
Let go! Let go, you!
Rats! I can't touch 'im!
Hey, you! If you do that, Akane won't like you.
Let go...!
Do you want Akane to hate you?
As her father, I don't approve of your romance!
Don't get uppity!
Now Akane, tell him!
I can't stand pushy guys!
-- Akane! -- Forget it!!
If you think brute strength will get you anything, you're sadly mistaken!
I'm telling you now, I despise you! Got that? I despise you!
Now's my chance!
Take this! Chestnuts Roasting On an Open Fire!!
And the finishing blow!!
I won!
-- Yay, Ranma! Well done. -- Bravo, bravo!
But why did the Shadow suddenly grow weak?
It was in love with Akane.
You're kidding!
It was part of Ranma, remember?
And much more honest with itself than Ranma is.
That's why it really hurt him to be hated by Akane.
"Much more honest with itself"?
That's one thing the real Ranma isn't.
See here--!
It's my shadow! My shadow! I'll never let you go again!
Isn't that great, Ranma?
This thing-- I won't need it anymore!
Shadow-Self Incense that makes your true self appear?
Kind of a waste.
