Hey! You okay, Mousse?
Maybe we should stop and rest.
Thanks, you guys.
But we can't stop on my account. Let's go on.
It's okay not to be tough.
Way to go, Mousse.
Let's keep going and get there by morning!
We have a reason for being here with drums on our backs.
One afternoon, about three days ago...
CAT CAFE
What?!
Is this really powder from Spring-of-Drowned-Man?!
I am a honest Chinese peddler.
I telling no lies.
Then--
- If we soak in this-- - We'll be--
No more duck!
- No more pig! - No more girl!!
What wrong with everybody?
Just ignore a while.
Wait a minute. A while back...
a medicine like this did terrible things to me.
That one old, defective medicine!
This one new, updated product!
No bad effects now!
You sure?
I'll take it!
Here's all the money I have in the world.
Aiyaa! Only 30 yen??
Sell them all to me!
Here's all my money!
And mine!
You are all poorer than I was thinking.
Okay! I'm being peddler of 3,000-year Chinese history--
What the heck!
I sell for 30 yen each!
That nice, yes?
I'm leaving now.
Thanks!
One more thing--
What?!
That's all the money I'm paying!
One of three packets have true Spring-of-Drowned-Man powder.
Other two don't .
What?!
You dirty--!
- You cheated us! - I want a refund!
Please calm down!
Better you listen my story.
Come back, you dirty ol'- -!
So, thanks to strange girl and panda, labels come off.
And Spring-of-Drowned-Man powder get mixed-up...
with powder from spring of two other drowned animal.
That why I sell cheap for only 30 yen each.
Otherwise, I take no less than 3,000 yen.
Well, I guess it's okay, then.
Ranma!
You--!
Be sure soak right away after powder dissolve in water.
What you boys do?!
Stop now!
Anyhow, the right power is in one of them.
But which one?!
They all look the same.
No look so angry.
Help each other find right powder.
You're right. We can each test our own.
I agree with that.
Not me!
Why not?
Let's help each other.
Mine's the real one; I can tell! You guys help yourself.
Excuse me!
What now, Ryoga?
Since Mousse won't help, I'll have to go with my own packet.
But what'll you turn into if it's the wrong one?
Sink or swim, I'll gamble on my own destiny.
Like a true martial artist.
Pardon!
What you do, Ranma?
Even if this ain't th' one, I gotta try it.
Ranma...?
I know this packet's the right one.
Mousse...?
Shampoo!
You looking happy.
Come test powder out in Shampoo bathtub.
Sh-Shampoo!
You do care...!
Aiyaa! Now have one.
This should do it.
It's do-or-die time.
Mine's the real one!
If this isn't the right one...
can Akane ever love me... as a HI PPOPOTAMUS?!
Ryoga?
Now have two ones.
Will this really make me normal again...?
Rats. I can't do it.
Sink or swim, I'll gamble on my own destiny.
Like a true martial artist.
Okay, okay! I'll do it.
Pop!
"What're you doing?"
What if this powder turns me into a panda?!
Genma Panda
Ranma Panda
No thanks.
So this is the powder from the Spring-of-Drowned-Man...?
I still don't know if it's th' right one, tho'.
I've always wanted to soak in water like this.
Why don't we all try it tonight?
K-Kasumi...?!
Soaking in this water could turn you into anything!
That's true.
But wouldn't it be nice if we could all be like Mr. Saotome?
Oh, Sis... Honestly.
Ranma, get into that water like a man!
Yeah! What a wimp.
But--!
You're already weird...
you won't change all that much.
You can talk!
I can't ! I just can't do it!
Ranma...?
What? Y' want somethin'
What're you going to do?
I don't wanna change into some weird character.
Still, if I can lose my female side, it might be worth a try.
Even if the powder doesn't work...
even if you turn into a pig or a duck...
you'd still be Ranma.
Akane...!
No matter what you become, I'll still--
Ranma!
Shampoo!
Ranma, I get two other packets! Come with Shampoo?
For real?! You got it!
Ranma--!!
Honestly.
Here, this.
I'm surprised Ryoga and Mousse gave them to you.
When I ask them let Ranma try powder...
they give to Shampoo nicely.
Anyhow, I've got all three now.
The real Spring-of-Drowned-Man powder's one of'em.
Now I have all three!
Why, you--! No fair!
Give powder back!
Now!
Ryoga! Not you, too?!
Ranma! You disappoint me.
Having Shampoo steal for you!
You're not fit to live among men!
Wh-What'd you just say...??
I making deliveries.
So busy, so busy!
Shampoo!
It's not my fault!
Shampoo did it on her own.
Shaddup!
Prepare to die!
Wait a minute!
In all that confusion, the packets got mixed-up again!
You're right.
Whaddya say?
Why not cooperate and soak in the real thing together?
I guess so.
Good. That settles it.
Let's seal our pledge of friendship!
"To Work Together is a Beautiful Thing"
Let's test the powder where no one will bother us.
The mountains.
Fine.
The three of us, hangin' out together--
We all go way back, yet we've never done this before.
I never had time to hang out with friends.
Even as a kid, I was too busy training to make friends.
I know what you mean.
I was apart from my family.
I always played alone.
Wow. You had it pretty tough, man.
What about you?
Wasn't it rough being on the road all the time?
Kinda.
Day after day, I walked till my legs got stiff.
I never did one thing that was just for fun.
Let's turn in.
Wait a sec--!
Which is the right packet?
- Let's decide tomorrow. - Guess so.
We're all exhausted.
Let's turn in.
What's th' big idea?!
Hurry an' untie me!
You're our guinea pig!
Resign yourself!
Next--!
Good! The last packet is the real one.
- We did it! - We did it.
A dream...?
What's th' big idea?!
Hurry an' untie me!
You're our guinea pig!
Resign yourself!
Next--!
Good! The last packet is the real one.
- We did it. - We did it!
A dream...?
What's th' big idea?!
Hurry an' untie me!
You're our guinea pig!
Resign yourself, pal.
Next--!
Good! The last packet is the real one.
- We did it. - We sure did.
A dream...?
I can't help thinking my packet isn't the one.
Shall we go for it?
Right.
Look! UFO!
Where?! Where?!
Where is it?
You better not have switched drums on me--
Don't be silly.
That's dirty, Ryoga!
What's the idea?!
Why, you...
Maybe my original bath was the right one, after all.
But which one was it?
That one!
Whaddya doin' !
You started this whole thing!
Mine!
Gimme!
Hey!
This is gettin' us nowhere.
We didn't know which packet was th' right one, anyway.
Now we'll just have to--
Go for it!
Here goes... One!
Two!
Three!
What th'. ..
That means mine was the right one, after all!
Not so fast!
Maybe it was mine first!
Gimme that!
Give it back!
Quit it!
This is mine--!
Oh, no!
- It's downhill all the way! - Wait!
Stop!
The water--!
Gotcha!
Forget it!
Lemme do this.
Outta my way!
You hand that over!
Butt out, both of you!
- And let you have it?? - It's my water!
Get away!
- Move! - Quit it, you guys!
We did it!
No more pig!
Shampoo! Rejoice!
Hey, it didn't work!
Fraud!
Fraud! Fraud! Fraud!!
CAT CAFE
It's over.
Too bad, boys.
It doesn't work unless you jump in right away!
Why didn't he make sure that we understood that?!
But you same still! Not turned into anything weird.
Ranma's so late. Huh?
This discovery marks a new epoch in biology.
Here's our field reporter--!
Here in the Tanzawa Hills...
animals believed long-since extinct have been sighted...
A saber-toothed tiger, a pteranodon--
Oh, my.
W-We're back at our studio in Tokyo.
Mr. Takagi? Where are you?!
Aw, man...!
