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.
That will be enough!
Right! You shame the name of the sacred dojo!
Listen well, Akane, Ranma.
The burden of inheriting the Anything-Goes School is onerous.
I imagine that in your vigorous training, you must lock horns.
But I forbid fights within the dojo!
Ranma, you make your father sad!
Why can't you treat your fiancee with more tenderness?
The soul of martial arts is not skills, but the heart!
Training is nothing without heart!
She ain't my fiancee.
Who'd get engaged to YOU?
You may have painful misunderstandings now, but...
you must believe that, someday, you will understand each other.
Share the glory of the Anything-Goes School.
Then the school will prosper!
Ranma, Akane.
Only you two can--
- Ranma!? - Akane!?
W-Wait a second, you two!
Dad, I don't remember agreeing to an engagement with Ranma.
Same here.
You still don't understand a father's love?!
And who understands a son's love?
I will! For you, I will!
I will! So understand me first!
Okay? Okay? Okay?
You don't understand a thing!
Father!
"I will challenge you for the dojo sign, tomorrow, Saturday evening."
W-What's this?
A d-dojo challenge?
Who does that anymore?
What kind of man was he, Kasumi?
I don't know.
When I came home from shopping, I found it at the gate.
A dojo is for mastering martial arts.
Devote your life to developing body and mind.
The time comes when one gains understanding.
The time also comes when one is challenged.
An Anything-Goes martial artist must accept any challenge.
Soun Tendo is not so craven as to reject a challenge!
I would crush this challenger with my own hands!
But the future of the school is in your hands, Akane and Ranma.
I grant the challenge to you.
Exactly!
You two must join forces to take on the challenge!
Me and Ranma?
I'd be better off alone.
What's that?
If you help, you'd just be in my way.
- You got that backwards! - Nice speech, waistless.
What's that got to do with anything? I can defend the dojo alone!
Another lie from big mouth.
- What's that? - What's what?
Anyway, this fight is too much for you.
So cut the tough talk.
Let's see how tough I am.
That's the spirit!
You both have the will to fight! Use it against the challenger!
It's your decision to hinder or help each other.
But remember that there are techniques you can try together.
Understand?
Yeah, sure.
Can they possibly pass this terrible test?
Don't worry, Tendo. Never give up hope for them.
I'm certain that they will come through for us.
For the sake of fatherly love!
Saotome! You give me hope!
This time those two will have to close the gap between them!
Next.
What the heck!?
Nihao, Ranma!
Why are YOU here?
It's the middle of gym!
You sure you want talk like that...?
This just normal water.
Look close now. This just normal dog.
Gross!
It turned into a guy!
T-This--
Essence of Nan'niichuan.
Is cursed spring where, whatever fall in, take body of boy.
In other word, instant Nan'niichuan powder.
Use this, Ranma, and you be all-man again.
This looks like a magician's trick.
But isn't he cute!
You mean it's like bath salts?
I ain't dreamin'! If I use this, I can remove this stupid curse!
But there's a price.
Is ALWAYS price.
Ranma, you date me?
You take Shampoo on date, you get powder.
- We date? - Yeah!
Goody! Then today: 2 o'clock at park.
And WHAT day is it today, Ranma?
The day that guy's comin' to challenge us.
Okay, but... You don't mind, do you? You understand?
Sure.
Right, with your brute strength, the challenger'll be no problem!
Is this "brute strength"...
something like this?
Okay, back to class.
No be hard on them, Teacher.
Ranma, is you okay?
2 o'clock sharp, no forget!
I wouldn't take his help now if he BEGGED me!
I'll be a real man! I'll be a real man!
Life is good!
Ranma.
Traitor. The challenger comes to the dojo today!
Don't worry, Ranma. Have a nice date!
Akane!
I'll take down this challenger with just my...
right hand!
Then I'll be off. Good luck!
Akane, are you sure you'll be fine alone?
I'll take down this challenger with just my...
left hand!
What about the right hand?
Are you sure about this?
'Course I am!
Ranma! Ranma!
Nihao, Ranma!
Here. A symbol of my affection.
I so happy!
Okay, gimme the instant Nan'niichuan.
What you talking?
Hey!
I go home.
H-Hold it a second!
You think only of instant Nan'niichuan?
What else?
But I guess--
And here I was plannin' on such a great date.
But if you don't trust me--
Ranma.
Instant Nan'niichuan in this bag.
After date, I give you.
Shampoo!
Shampoo trust Ranma!
Shampoo!
Forgive me, Shampoo! I wanna change back as fast as I can!
Ranma!
I'll be a real man! I'll be a real man!
Instant Nan'niichuan is bait for Ranma date.
You no get so easy.
Y-You tricked me!
Dad, I don't need any help.
I can do this by myself!.
Will she really be all right?
Once her mind's made up, that's it.
Ranma! We go on date!
2 o'clock sharp, no forget, Ranma!
TENDO DOJO School of Anything-Goes Martial Arts
I challenge you!
Why you no relax?
You worry too much for Akane?
W-Who cares about her?
But I am promised to another.
Can she make you happy?
I promise give instant Nan'niichuan after date.
Do I get it now?
If you want end date now--
"End date now"?
You give goodbye kiss!
"K-Kiss"?
All I gotta do is kiss you?
The day is finally here when I get my 1000th dojo sign.
You sure about pitting this girl against me?
- A martial artist keeps his word. - I see!
Then you'd better hug your sign while you can!
I won't go easy, even on a girl!
Stupid trick!
H-He's good!
Then how about THIS stupid trick?
Where my goodbye kiss?
Aww, man! I gotta get back to the dojo!
And the Instant "Nan'niichuan" is so close!
I just gotta--
Shampoo--
Ranma!
Sorry, Shampoo!
Ranma!
Ranma, when no kiss, date not over!
You sure you no want REAL instant Nan'niichuan?
No kiss, no get instant Nan'niichuan.
I knew it. You worried about Akane.
A-Am not!
Ranma!
You give ride on bike.
Akane!
Don't try to help, Dad!
I'm going to protect the dojo on my own!
I didn't feel it.
When you no more worry, THEN we continue date.
Ranma!
So you're back!
I'm back to take down that challenger!
That means you got the instant Nan'niichuan?
What'd you do THAT for!?
I JUST LOVE CATS!
Guess he don't got it yet.
Sorry, but...
it's OVER!
Akane!
R-Ranma!
R-Ranma! You came back because of your concern for Akane!
I knew you'd be losin'!
W-What? Nobody asked for YOUR help!
Didn't come to help you.
Whatever. But we can't use you as a girl.
I'm takin' on this challenge.
Good. I can take on an opponent or two.
I'll defeat you as a 1000th-Sign Anniversary Special.
- Here I go! - Hold it!
I said I was going to fight alone!
But you're exhausted!
Ranma!
Use the DualJet-Stream Raging Waters Attack!
No, not THAT technique!
Indeed! It's the legendary Anything-Goes secret attack!
Right!
DualJet-Stream Raging Waters Attack!
Ready, Akane? One, two, three!
What!?
Don't move around so much! My arms are killing me!
just shut up and hold on!
And watch that sign.
You both did well!
That's an engaged couple for you.
The future of the Anything- Goes School is assured!
Is not!
Akane, you okay?
What did you come back for?
I could have beaten him on my own WITHOUT your help!
Ranma!
We continue!
"Continue"?
Continue date!
Do kiss one more time.
Th-That's not funny!
Ranma.
"One more time" means...
YOU KISSED HER ONCE ALREADY!
- Did not! - No be embarrass!
What did you do on this DATE of yours?
I think I deserve to know.
I didn't do nothin'!
Did you kiss her?
N-No!
- Then she kissed you! - No!
Heart thumping just remember it.
"Love you, Shampoo," he say. Then he hold so close!
Whoah! Hey! Hey!
Then you give so tender kiss.
Here. Instant Nan'niichuan.
You givin' it to me? All right!
N-Now I can be a real guy!
Ranma.
Thanks for your help. I'm glad you came.
W-Wait. I didn't kiss her!
You don't understa--
TENDO DOJO School of Anything-Goes Martial Arts
How long you planning to be in there?
Your dinner's getting cold.
Let them be.
I've never seen them so happy.
I ain't turnin' into a girl.
I'm not turning into a panda.
Cat Cafe Thank you! Come again!
Shampoo.
The son-in-law chased you around all day...

You're a hoot.
Was really fun date.
You're going to catch cold!

You tricked me, Shampoo!
