Ranma of the Saotome School of Anything-Goes Martial Arts.
Lemme go!
Akane of the Tendo Dojo.
Wait! What th'--?
Their fathers decided they should be engaged.
Don't decide for me!
It's my life!
There's just this one thing complicating Ranma's life.
What's that for?
When Ranma is doused with cold water, HE becomes a SHE.
To think you snuck up on me without my noticing.
Only Shampoo's chosen husband could do that.
I touched the Full-Body Cat Tongue point.
A cat's tongue can't stand heat.
Your body can't take hot things, like a cat's tongue.
Now you can't touch hot water.
It means once you become a girl, you'll never be a man again!
If you want to be a man again, become Shampoo's husband!
Never change back into a man! Never change back into a man!
You gotta be kiddin'!
HOT!!!
Are you all right, Ranma?
W-What the heck is this?
It's my nightgown. It suits you. Want it?
I'm a guy!
You're a girl now, so don't sweat it.
It's so cute!
And you do seem to enjoy being a girl recently.
Who enjoys it? I-- I'm a guy!
Man! They sure think it's funny when it happens to me!
I'm gonna turn back into a guy no matter what it takes!
Ranma Saotome!
Prepare to pit your skills against me!
I don't need this now!
How could I have mistaken you? My dear beloved pigtailed girl!
I love you!
Geez!
Ranma!
You decide to propose to me?
I ain't doin' anythin' the old ghoul says!
Pigtailed girl!
You okay, Ranma?
Oh, it was Kuno.
I shouldn't have butted in.
Oh yes, you should.
I saved you, so don't complain.
Akane Tendo! I love you, too!
Shampoo!
Ranma, I have important talk. Come with me.
What's this "talk"?
Very happy news.
What the heck?
There new pill what cure Full-Body Cat Tongue technique.
"New pill"?
You sure about this, Shampoo?
Do Shampoo eye lie?
"Phoenix Pill"?
Isn't the phoenix a bird that's reborn in flames?
Champion of resisting heat.
And if I had this pill, I could change back to a guy!
W-Where is this thing?
Great-grandmother have it.
Right, I'll get it!
Shampoo, why are you telling all of this to Ranma?
I love boy-type Ranma. You like chasing girl-type?
Pervert girl.
Who are you calling a pervert?
- You. - Am not!
Cat Cafe
So this is the restaurant the old crone opened.
Hey, Granny! You in here?
Oh, son-in-law. So you've finally agreed to marry Shampoo.
Don't you wish.
Then why are you here?
Phoenix Pill
So that's it!
It's mine now!
- You're not runnin' away! - Nobody's running anywhere.
You still don't get it!
You're still 100 years too young to take me on!
Boo!
Aiyaa.
R-Ranma!
I'll...
I will.
He no can beat Great-grandmother.
Call it a day, Ranma.
I'm not finished yet...
WAITRESS WANTED Apply Within. Cat Cafe
That's it!
Old ghoul!
This ad's for real, ain't it?
Good idea!
I hear the waitress here's a babe.
So you came to check her out, too?
Why else?
Come agai-- I mean, welcome!
Son-in-law, one Five-Flavor ramen, up!
Okay!
The Phoenix Pill is mine!
Don't spill the ramen!
Wow.
The bowl's floating in mid-air!
Here's four more bowls of hot ramen.
Get those ramen to the customers, or you'll get burned!
Old ghoul!
See ya...
Have a nice day.
Ranma works so hard.
That restaurant has certainly been popular since Ranma started.
He's working himself sick, slaving away.
He might have met his match in that old woman...
but that too is part of his training.
Akane, aren't you worried?
What with Ranma working at the cafe...
Why should I be worried? He can do what he wants!
Thank you, come again!
The Phoenix Pill!
It's mine!
Potstickers and spring rolls for four!
Hello.
Ramen, pork ramen, wanton ramen: seven orders up!
What's he doing!?
Come one, come all...
Wha--
That's my future son-in-law! He's coming along fine!
Give it up! She's made you into a circus freak!
T'weren't nothin'...
Huh...?
Ranma!
Hey, Ranma...
What you do, Ranma?
What you here for!?
I'm just here to watch!
Hey! Will you two cut that out?
Son-in-law! Come here a moment.
You roastin' sweet potatoes over the fire?
Not sweet potatoes. Shampoo, hand it over.
A bag of sweet chestnuts.
Watch carefully.
How about you?
Is legendary technique! Kachu Tenshin Amaguri Ken...!
For over 3,000 years even the last emperor feared it...
the Amazon tribe's great secret...
The Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire technique!
Grabbing chestnuts so fast you don't feel the heat of the flame!
Immeasurably fast...
Master this, and stealing the Phoenix Pill should be simple!
Great-grandmother approve of Ranma, and give hint!
Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.
I'm gonna do it! I'll master it and get that Phoenix Pill!
Ranma, what has become of you?
As heir to the Saotome School...
what'll we do if you can't grab a few chestnuts out of a fire?!
Look well. Your father will demonstrate!
Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!
Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!
It sounds like Ranma again.
Who told him he could play with fire?
Pigheaded!
Kasumi! There's a fair at the shrine today.
Let's go for a look-see.
Why'd he brag that he could grab loads of chestnuts?
He should have tried it before he said he could do it!
Son-in-law!
Whaddya want!?
Have you improved your skills a little?
You can change back into a man with this.
Stop faking the throw, y'old witch!
W-What's this...?
You're still too slow.
I'll do it once more, because you asked.
Who's askin'?
- Wow! - Oh, my!
I'm impressed, Granny.
I must excuse myself. I have to mind the shop.
We'll meet again, son-in-law.
Aww, man!
That is one strange old lady you've gotten involved with.
I have to get that Phoenix Pill!
I need the speed of that Roasting Chestnuts technique!
Cut it out.
With that cat-tongue thing, you can't stand heat!
It's hot! It's hot! It's hot!
Are you tellin' me I gotta be a girl all of my life?
No way! I gotta do somethin'! What am I gonna do?!
Be of good cheer, Ranma.
Mr. Tendo.
Perhaps the fair would help to brighten your future.
You have but to view the midway booths...
and your mood will lighten. You'll forget all your troubles.
So I forget, then what?
It's a fine idea, Ranma. Go and have fun with Akane.
Right, you might brighten up, and think of something.
So I'm babysitting Ranma again?
Hold it! I never told nobody--
Never fear, Ranma. Go and enjoy the fair.
Come on, loosen up.
This is no time for fun!
You're having a blast, no matter what you say.
Good thing we came.
It got broke!
Don't cry.
- I'll get a goldfish for you. - Really?
Three hundred yen a pop.
Hey! That's too much!
Catch them all and it's free!
Really? Here, 300 yen.
Thank you!
Here I go!
That's weird!
I just touched the water.
Here's another.
This time for sure.
- One more! - Okay.
- Another. - Here.
Look, Mister! These things are defective!
Think so?
I'm sorry!
Akane, I'm takin' over. just leave it to me.
You're too clumsy to use these.
You're right.
Here I go!
Lady, you're great!
Call me "Mister"!
Catch them all and they're free!
This is a piece of cake!
Finished!
You did it!
No! If this keeps up, I'll go bankrupt!
I can't... I can't...
We're not finished! You have to catch these piranha, barehanded!
Terrifying piranha from the South American Amazon!
These babies can skeletonize a cow in seconds!
Catch 'em all, or give me the goldfish back!
That's no fair!
Is so! Oww, oww, oww!
Sounds like fun!
I want a piranha too, lady.
That's "Mister"!
Ranma, they'll bite!
just like catchin' the goldfish. Get them before they bite!
I just need to be fast.
R-Right! Same idea as the Chestnuts Roasting technique!
Ranma...!
Get enough speed to catch them and still avoid their teeth!
Special training!
"Training"...?
Cat Cafe
I'm here for the Phoenix Pill! Where are you, Granny?
Where're you hidin'?
Great trick!
Oww, oww, oww!
I've been waiting for you, son-in-law!
Where are you!? Come out!
Is this some kinda haunted house!?
Hot! Hot! Hot!
Huh? It's not hot at all!
I get it!
I knew it!
One of Granny's tricks!
Even the first Emperor of the Ch'in Dynasty feared this one...
a secret kept for 3000 years of Amazon history.
Well played!
Follow me!
Hold it!
So you really are a monkey, ain'tcha?
Yo.
You can't run away! Where are you?
Here I am!
If you want the Phoenix Pill, cross this steaming hot bath!
Fine with me! Ancient witch! Here I come!
Mind the hot water!
just kiddin'!
Wait up!
You can't run anymore, son-in-law. The game is over.
Who'd make a stupid bath like this?
My son-in-law is now sleeping at the bottom of the ocean.
Understand this!
I am changin' back to a guy, no matter what!
What?
Take this! Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire!
Wha--? Wha--? Wha--? Wha--?
Nothing happened.
It can't be. The pressure of your blows alone...
Guess what this is.
It's the Phoenix Pill.
One of your countless blows took it from my neck.
With this, hot water is no problem.
Looks just like a candy drop.
It IS a candy drop.
H-Hot! Hot!
- This way! - Ranma!
I switched pills just in case.
So you finally mastered the Chestnuts technique.
That's my son-in-law.
Did you catch all this piranha? Is amazing!
Good thing I brought this tank.
Ranma? You okay?
Y-You'll regret this, y'old ghoul--!
