Look, look.
That old guy looks so weird!
What's with that bald head?
Though others may shun me--
Though they call me malicious names--
At least I have--
Nothing?
Whaddya doin', Pop?
Lookin' for somethin'
Wh-Where'd you get that?!
This? I found it...
on the plate on the first shelf of that chest.
I got that manju for attending a funeral service!
Yes! I wanted to eat it after a hard day's work...
to sustain me and give me energy for the next day!
Wups. Ate it all up.
Give it back! I've been looking forward to it all day!
Hey...!
I'll not let this go unpunished...!
Akane, I'm in the Szechwan Province of China now.
Szechwan is famous for pandas.
I'd like to get you a stuffed panda for a souvenir.
Will you go to bed with it in your arms every night?
Pretending that it's me...?
"Hi, Ryoga!"
Excuse me, miss? One more.
So why is the father of Ranma treating me to dessert...?
I deserve an explanation.
I'm getting old.
I must choose the successor...
to the Anything-Goes Saotome School of Martial Arts.
But your successor is Ranma.
Ranma may not have the ability to be my successor.
Kin takes no precedence in martial arts.
Only the truly strong should be successor.
Being his father, I may have overestimated Ranma's ability.
Having considered it objectively, compared to him--
Ryoga, you have far more talent.
Won't you be my disciple?
And be successor to my Anything-Goes School?
I refuse!
You and Ranma are probably trying to trick me.
But it won't work!
Wait!
Please, Ryoga!
I'm begging you!
Please!
Y-You're serious?!
Please!
Let me think about it.
- Wait... - Enough!
Thanks for treating me.
He might be dangerous.
Let's go.
Who'd believe that story...?
You fool!
How can you be that way, Ranma?!
Fool!
Do you think you can succeed me like that?!
Shaddap! Nobody wants your lousy school.
You ate my pudding, jerk.
As your father, I have the right to demand respect!
Then why dontcha try behavin' like one?!
Don't you feel the least bit grateful that I raised you?!
What?!
You got any idea how much sufferin' you've caused me?!
He did mean it, after all...!
Oh! Ryoga!
- You've changed your mind?! - Well, I...
Ryoga!!
Wha--?
Saotome! You can't be serious?
Kin takes no precedence in martial arts.
I want a true martial artist to be my successor.
Saotome, you've given this surprisingly serious thought.
Of course.
But then--
If Ryoga becomes Mr. Saotome's successor--
What.
Who'll be Akane's fiance?
Ah, yes. Of course.
But--!
Naturally...
Akane's fiance will be Ryoga.
Akane's fiance..!
Things will take their course.
Oh, my! Is that so?
Sure.
Will everybody stop making decisions for me?!
Oh--
No-good Pop... Gettin' Ryoga involved just t' spite me--
Keep trying!
Pop...?
A master and disciple must eat and sleep together!
I dunno whatcher tryin' to prove...
but how about cuttin' it out?
It's childish.
When are you going to stop acting like a fool, boy...?
Don't you know there's no stopping this fight anymore?
See your own weakness, Ranma!
They can't just change things to suit themselves...
There's no milk!
Can't sleep...?
Ranma!
Don't scare me like that.
Want me t' get you some?
Milk, I mean.
That's okay! It's late, and...
The convenience store's open.
I'll go.
You don't have to, really.
Thanks, come again.
Ryoga prob'ly thinks Pop is serious 'bout this.
He ain't got the immunity to him like I do.
This is bad.
Master!
" Master," eh? Nice ring to it.
Master, I'll surely defeat Ranma!
Ryoga, because it is for the sake of martial arts...
I must lay bare my son's fatal weakness...
and crush him into the ground.
How brutal is the world of the martial artist!
His fatal weakness...?
Behold! That's the star of the Anything-Goes School!
Aim for that star!
Be a star of our school, and shine most brightly of all!
Isn't Mr. Saotome home yet...?
Who knows? Maybe he likes roughin' it now.
Do you think Ryoga will really become his successor...?
Ryoga! Put some snap into your ankles!
In order to defeat Ranma, you must build up your stamina!
Yes, sir!
They're really going for it, aren't they.
Wait--!
UCCHAN'S OKONOMIYAKI
I know it bothers you.
No it doesn't .
Liar.
Now see here--
Here's your takeout.
You two are always fighting, aren't you.
Mind your own business!
- C'mon, Ranma, let's go. - By the way, Akane--
I hear your fiance's Ryoga now.
Wha...? No he's not.
But if he's taking over Ranma-honey's dad's school...
isn't it automatic?
I s'pose so.
So Ranma-honey doesn't have to stay with the Tendos anymore!
But...!
I guess that's true.
Well, Ranma-honey, why not live here...?
Here?
Why not? I'm your only fiancee, now.
What kind of logic is that?
Huh. Maybe I should.
Akane, I'll stay on here a little longer.
The okonomiyaki's on the house.
Ranma, you...
JERRRK!!
Cuttlefish, right?
Maybe I'll do "Stamina Okonomiyaki," today.
Y-You mean 'cause I'm your only fiancee now...??
Does this mean you want...??
Oh, but it's too soon!
We mustn't .
Ryoga should be callin' me out any time now.
Keep trying!
Weak!
An opening!
Ryoga, your fists still lack a certain speed.
Sir.
But the time is near when you and I can defeat Ranma!
Master--!
Soon I must teach you Ranma's weakness.
No! I don't want to know!
I can win without it!
Don't be so darned noble.
Master! That's the star of the Anything-Goes School, right?
N-Not quite.
Akane!
This isn't the okonomiyaki I asked you to bring back...?
It is, isn't it.
A no-holds-barred, single-fall match will now begin.
The first man to be taken down is the loser.
Begin!
Pop...!
Ryoga's pretty good.
Yes, he is.
A heroic, magnificent battle rages on.
Its conclusion will decide the Anything-Goes heir!
An extremely extreme match!
Outrageous in execution!
Will Akane's fiance be Ranma?!
Or Ryoga, the newcomer?
This time, due to unforeseen circumstance...
I'm cheering for Ryoga.
Fight, Ryoga!
I'm through playing around now, boy...
He signaled a block!
Mr. Saotome's teaching Ryoga to anticipate Ranma's moves!
Will Ryoga be our brother-in-law now?
We'll see, won't we!
Gosh darn it--
Forgive me, Ranma. Kin takes no precedence in martial arts.
However...
when I close my eyes like this...
memories of our rigorous training sweep over me!
Farewell, Ranma...my son!
Saotome, what on Earth are you...?!
What do you think you're doing, Saotome??
I LOVE cats!
Surely this can't be Ranma's "fatal" weakness...??
Go, Ryoga! Now's your chance!
Defeat him now!
Punish him for eating my funeral pastry!!
Go GET 'IM!!
Whaaat?!
" Funeral pastry"...?
Ahhh, now I get it...
For one lousy pastry...
you used Ryoga to try an' defeat me?
Not cool, Saotome.
N-No. You've got it all wrong.
How so??
Ranma--! By making your rival strong...
I hoped to make you the strongest fighter in Japan!
Cut the sweet talk!
It's true! Lions push their cubs off cliffs to do it!
So that means...
you were only using me?
N-No...! You're plenty strong now, so--
Yaargh!
Ranma, I'll leave your tea right here.
No-good Pop!
He ain't gettin' away with it this time.
Oh, yeah--!
Akane, we still got some of that pastry left, right?
Hwa?
I-- I'll, uh, be back.
No-good Akane...!
No way this is goin' unpunished--!!
Ranma! You're a regular chip-off-th'-old-block.
