'Bye!
So early?
I refuse to be Akane's guinea pig!
Nabiki--!
Here you go!
I made it a little fancy today.
Here, Dad.
Here, Mr. Saotome.
Huh? Where's Nabiki?
She left about ten minutes ago.
Oh. She's been leaving extra early lately.
Thank you for doing this every day, Akane.
But isn't it hard on you, getting up so early?
Right, right.
You don't have to fix lunch for us. We can manage on our own.
How silly. I enjoy doing it.
Don't worry.
Huh?
Why, it's Ranma!
Good morning, Ranma!
You seem to have recovered from your stomachache!
Here! Your lunch.
Akane, I don't want lunch anymore.
Huh? How come?
Y' see--! What I mean, is--
Your lunches--!
For me, they're aw--
If you say they're awful, I'll hurt you!
You can't be that cruel!
Hey, come on--!
Take it!
No way!
Wait, your lunch--!
This is the third day! If I eat any more, I'll wind up in bed!
Forgive me, Akane!
Will I make friends? Yes.
No.
Yes.
Take that! And that, and that!
No.
Yes.
No.
Will I make friends? Yes--
Hey, you okay?!
Wait up, Ranma!
Rats!
It's gone!
That dirty--!
You jerk, Ranma!
I'm sorry I stepped on you. 'Bye!
Um, here.
Just a little something.
A get-acquainted gift.
That's not--?
It gets great results.
No, I meant--
Or would you prefer a curse charm?
Akane!
What's that?
Would this be a straw voodoo doll?
It's so cute!
I want one!
Help yourselves! I have plenty.
Are you sure it's okay?
Hey--
Thank you! We'll use them right away!
Take your seats, everybody!
We have a transfer student.
Aw, a guy?
What a gloomy Gus.
Lighten up, pal!
Do they call ya "Grim Reaper"?
This is Hikaru Gosunkugi.
Oh!
He's the guy I ran into...!
Finally!
Lunchtime!
Here! Your lunch.
Lucky stiff!
I'm jealous, Ranma.
I don't want it, I said!
Really?
Never mind, then!
Hey, Akane--!
Gosunkugi?
Want this box lunch?
Box lunch? For me?
Sure. I have an extra one.
A homemade box lunch...!
Oh, joy to be alive!
Th-Thank you.
Hold it right there.
Why?! You don't want it, right?
But you can't let an ordinary guy eat it.
Look, even I gotta be in top shape to stomach Akane's cooking!
What do you mean by that?!
Just give it back!
Listen to me!
You don't have to eat it!
That's not the point!
Let go--!
Ranma, you jerk!
"Curse thee, Saotome"
Catch!
Thanks.
After all, Akane's cooking...
is pretty hardcore.
Tell that to her, willya?
No way. I like Akane.
Her fiance should tell her.
Hey, isn't that the hanky that the lunch was wrapped in?
Gee, that was sweet.
You messed up, Saotome.
It's the karmic boomerang, man.
Forget it!
I'll take divine punishment over Akane's box lunch any day!
Akane's box lunch...?
It sure must be deadly.
'Scuse me?
I couldn't help overhearing...
something about a fiancee?
You're engaged to that roughneck?
If only I could rescue you from that hell.
Move, Gosunkugi!
This is bad.
You guys still alive...?
Oww...
Ranma Saotome, I didn't want to unleash my power on you.
However...
you ruined the daisy spell!
You went and ruined Akane's box lunch!
You went and got engaged to her!
You went and stepped on me! That hurt!
Hey, it's Gosunkugi!
Good luck, Gosunkugi!
We're rooting for you!
He's so weird.
Saotome, no more Mr. Nice Guy.
Your cries of despair will ring out in the darkness--
Now what're you doing?
Stupid. It's a secret. Don't ask.
Oh! Good luck!
I hope it works out okay!
Hey, people will see this thing out here.
Good point! Let's cover the hole, too.
Oh, thank you very much.
Wait, I'm still down here.
Hey, hah?
Akane--?
Wait a minute!
I apologize for spilling the lunch! But I had a good reason--
What're you trying to do?!
Akane--
What?
Watch where you're walkin', will ya?
Huh?
A booby trap?
People still make these?
What idiot would fall for it?
Ho, you're all seeing me off? Thank you!
I thank you. Farewell, every--
Awesome.
Wretch! Why are you trying to kill me, Tatewaki Kuno?
I wasn't really after you.
Still, though you didn't succeed...
I commend you for tricking me to this extent.
Let's finish the job and cover the hole.
Good idea.
Hey! Wait a minute! Help!
I'm scared! Lemme out!
I'm home!
Akane! Welcome back!
Y'see, we thought it might be nice to send out for lunch today.
Box lunches are good, but this is a nice change of pace.
You're right.
I'm sorry for forcing my food on you.
Oh, that's not it!
No, we didn't mean--
That's all right.
I'll stop. Don't worry.
Saotome, didn't we hurt her feelings?
You shouldn't have suggested sending out for lunch.
No fair, Saotome! You were all for the idea!
I only went along with you, Tendo!
There you go, always playing the innocent!
Shame on you!
I didn't have to get up early today.
Here.
Ranma, did you say something to Akane?
No.
Really?
It turned out great, anyhow.
I don't have to run away from Akane's lunches anymore.
Nabiki!
No breakfast?
Not hungry.
Akane...?
Tasty Lunch Ideas
He's coming!
Now!
S-Saotome!
What're you doin' here?
N-Nothing! 'Bye!
Hey!
What a weirdo.
I don't give up that easily.
Beware of Dog
Saotome, I'll get you for this...!
Gosunkugi said that?
He says to meet him in the gym.
Ain't he mad about what happened the other day?
Maybe I should tell 'im the truth about Akane's cooking.
Yo, Gosunkugi!
Here already, Saotome?
See here, you should be grateful to me...
not hate me!
Hah?
Do you know what Akane's box lunches do to ya?!
N-No.
On the day you eat one--
What nerve! You don't have to say my cooking's bad!
I know that already!
That's why I was practicing so hard!
You have no appreciation for food! It's meaningless to cook for you!
Exactly!
She wants to cook for the one she loves.
What a sweet gesture. Akane Tendo--
Ah...
I can laugh it off the first time.
But I won't let it pass a second time!
Ah...
Interesting.
You're the first one who's ever done this to me three--!
Ah...
So get it already!
Oh, right!
What? Givin' up already?
Why should you care?
Here, somethin' nice!
What's this?
Never mind. Make sure ya read it.
Hey, it's...!
"I'll wait in the garden at lunch. --Ranma."
That's funny.
"Meet me on the roof at lunchtime. --Akane"
Weird.
Wretch. Why this crass interference?
Why are you meddling in my rendezvous with Akane Tendo?
Whatcha talkin' about?
"Meet me on the roof at lunchtime."
Now begone from here!
Kuno, I'm in a hurry. 'Scuse me.
'Zat you, Akane?
Oh no, you don't, Saotome--!
Oh,joy! You both came!
The winner of the fight can have this box lunch.
You must fight for my love.
Wait!
Be my guest, Kuno.
I give her to you.
No thanks!
I'm being nice about this! Take her, you--!
No, I wouldn't wanna interrupt your rendezvous!
You saw through my disguise? I wanted you to do each other in.
Not twice, but three times--!
You mock even Akane! You won't get away with this!
Mocking...? I didn't mean--!
I'm sorry!
You okay? Close call, wasn't it?
Did you see it? My power?!
Your power? Wasn't it a coincidence?
Behold. This is my true self!!
Gosunkugi! Whatcha tryin' to do?
Divine retribution.
Divine what?!
I'm going to punish you in the name of the gods!
Gods of wind and thunder!
Answer now my summons!
Strike, hammer of justice!
Burn, flames of judgment!
Now it is ended.
Farewell, Ranma Saotome!!
Gosunkugi!
You shouldn't wave that metal hammer around.
He's awake!
How do you feel?
Fine.
Good! I brought--
Here! It's okay, isn't it, Ranma?
I never knew anybody would wanna eat Akane's cooking.
Sorry, pal.
Eat this later. I think it turned out pretty good.
This is from me. Use it.
What was that?
Never mind.
"Digestive Medicine"?
Gosunkugi!
Gosunkugi?
Tardy so soon after enrolling?
I wonder what happened to Gosunkugi?
Looks like that medicine couldn't help, either.
Ranma Saotome...!
Divine retribution...!
