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.
Anyone home?
Coming!
Father?
Our guest is from the Neighborhood Watch.
Hello.
...A prowler?
We've been piled under with cases this month alone.
The police don't know which way to turn.
How dreadful.
What a ruffian! Destroying this township's peace of mind.
We cannot allow this to continue!
Exactly! And so we came to you masters of martial arts.
We'd like to ask your assistance.
Leave it to us! We'll see the miscreant brought to justice.
Right, Saotome?
Right! Justice will prevail!
Wonderful!
Your words give me hope!
We're dealing with a monster. The elusive panty-thief!.
I'm so relieved!
"Panty-thief"? It couldn't be...
Saotome--
Any clues about who we're after?
None at all!
Did you see something pass by?
Your imagination.
I don't know if this will help pinpoint the thief, but...
These pictures were taken at the scene.
These aren't "clues."
More like ironclad evidence.
That's just the problem.
He even faced the camera and gave a "V" sign.
I'm at the end of my rope with the master's idiocy.
Saotome, I leave this to you.
Who was it, Tendo, who promised to "bring the miscreant to justice"...?
So "justice shall prevail" was just a joke, eh Saotome?
Crying won't help, you know.
C'mon, Pop. Let's go catch us a panty-thief.
I'm home. Boy, am I starved.
Pretending you're a panda is a bad habit, Mr. Saotome.
Is he doing it again?
Fight like a man for once, will ya!?
How sweet!
What was that for, you savages!?
So, Gramps: Pop's got something t' discuss with you.
What about?
Start discussin'!
"Hello there, Master..."
Get to the point! I'm a busy man!
"I'm glad to see you looking so well."
"Stupid! Dummy! Dummy!"
"Lecherous Old Fart!"
You buffoon! Is that any way to treat your master?
C'mon, get up! Get him with your Iron-Fist of Justice!
"I don't wanna!"
The "Iron-Fist of Justice," already!
The fool!
Your technique's first-class but, in the end...
Face this.
How sweet!
The fool.
Oh my, he pilfered so many.
Hit the jackpot, huh?
I was looking for these!
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
Unhand the fruits of my labors!
Give them back, I say! You thieves!
You got no right to talk!
What now, Ranma? Once people know the thief is Dad's master...
We'll bag him with the evidence, and dump 'em all in the drink.
The lecher gets to keep his panties forever.
Gen-n-nma...
It's too late to suck up to me now, you cretin!
Curses! Curses!
Why, you--!
Genma... Ranma...
You have aroused my anger.
just you wait!
Make like a tree, old man!
WHAT!?
Genma and Ranma made the master angry?
My worst fears have come to pass!
Hey! Lemme down! Stupid old man!
Lemme go! Hey!
Saotome.
No slipping away behind my back!
Yeah! Why do we have to sneak away? We got the upper hand!
Let me slip away with you!
- That's not what I meant! - Father!
What good does runnin' do?
Ranma, you have yet to learn the true wrath of the master.
"True wrath"?
Come to think of it...
I've never seen a battle aura as strong as on that day.
That was nothing compared to the master's true wrath!
Only the tip of the iceberg!
Woe is us! What disaster have you brought upon us?
Sounds like fun! I don't know what this wrath is...
but I'll face it head on!
- Excuse me! - Wait a second.
Delivery!
One hundred orders of deluxe sushi combinations!
Pork cutlets for fifty. Thanks for waiting.
Twenty orders of tempura noodles right here!
Where's this Ranma Saotome!?
You can't hide Ranma Saotome from us!
Wh-Why me...?
There you are, Ranma Saotome. You have guests.
You dirty old freak!
So you're the panty-thief!.
"Wahaha! I've got your undies!" --Ranma Saotome
This note took some nerve!
It wasn't me!
What are you doing?
Don't tell me you didn't order this.
Ranma!
Like I was sayin', it wasn't me!
Don't give me that! just pay your delivery bill!
Fifty orders of pork cutlets! Plus tax comes to 43,775 yen!
I don't know nothin' about it! Nothin' at all!
Then just sell your panda to some zoo, and pay your bill!
You come back here, Ranma Saotome!
You old creep! Where'd you go!?
DOPE
So this is his "true wrath".
His revenge is truly terrifying.
He's acting so childish, we can't even get mad.
Tonma "Stupid" Saotome
DOPE
STUPID
Anyway, we need to end this, or we'll never get any sleep.
Even if he IS our master, his actions are inhuman.
I've reached my limit! Understand, Happosai?
Wanna fight?
Please calm your righteous anger. We beg your forgiveness!
Father!
A quick and painless solution.
Is that all?
There's one more person who should be groveling.
Who might that person be...?
You're gonna get it. You're gonna get it.
I'm gonna tell the teacher.
Hey! C'mon! Hey!
You old freak!
Whaddya think you're doin'?
Ranma, you don't have to believe it. Just grovel a little.
I ain't apologizin', not to nobody!!
And I'm not forgiving, not till a certain someone bows down.
Just save face for the master!
"Only for 2-3 days."
I'm sorry.
The old man's anger may cool off by tomorrow.
Geez. Why kick ME outta the house?
A-Akane.
- Tea and pork buns! - Thank you!
Ranma.
You won't ever give in, will you.
Not a chance.
I can camp for a couple of days to avoid apologizin' to the freak!
And I've got a plan to defeat him.
A plan?
But I need your help. Listen to this!
Ouch! Do it a little more gently.
Then quit squirming around!
Your warm lap feels so good! Rub, rub.
You poked me in the head!
Then I'll stop.
That's heartless.
I just wanted to deepen our genuine friendship!
Then no touching. Promise?
- I promise. - Then c'mere.
Yaay.
But Akane!
Stay back!
I'm sorry, I promise for real!
I'm so happy! Akane made an applique just for me.
I wonder if this'll really work.
I'm gonna make him cry!
But how?
I've got this!
Shampoo once gave me this Chinese herb, called "Nyokenko. "
"Nyokenko"?
Body temperature makes it give off a weird stink.
It keeps the girls away.
During the Chinese Ching Dynasty...
Empress Xi-tai-hou rubbed it on any man who disobeyed her.
The women can't come close. It's a really rare potion.
So why did Shampoo give you something like that?
For "warding off evil", or whatever.
Really? Then maybe it's just what we need.
I'm done!
Akane, you've got a woman's skills!
Do you think so?
It's such a cute pig!
It's a dog!
But Tendo, oughtn't we...?
Saotome, it is said, "Let sleeping dogs lie."
Look! Isn't it cute? Akane gave this to me!
M-Master, how good it looks on you!
Truly!
I like it!
I have plenty of bounce to chase after the girls!
But just chasing, right??
A disciple of mine should know better than to ask that.
What if they find out the panty-thief is the master?
- Then we don't know him. - Think they'll buy that?
Probably not.
Master!
Quit it!
Hey-ho, girlies!
Let's boogie!
What's the matter?
S-Stay away!
Hey, lady!
Is anything wrong, lady?
Stay back!
Madam?
Gramps, what's the problem?
Th-The girls... The girls are running away!
The girls-- The girls--
It's working like a dream. I can't believe it!
Yo, Gramps!
What're you cryin' for?
R-Ranma!
- That Nyokenko's workin' good! - Nyokenko?
Right! Somethin' like tear-gas, but it only works on girls!
So that's why the pretty girls acted so strange.
So you're the one--! What've you done to me??
Your skirt-chasin' days are over!
You took away my only reason to live!
What do you have against me?
Gotcha! You deserve it!
It's not over yet!
Ranma, what have you done?
You may think you turned his technique against him.
But the master creates a counter- attack for all of his techniques!
He's our master. He must have seen through your shallow plan.
Or...not.
He's passed out!
You old freak!
Payback for old scores!
Go for it!
What's all this payback stuff about?
M-Master! Thank heavens you're safe!
You kicked your master!
I'll punish you in full, later. I'll start with you, Ranma!
Now you've done it!
Wait up!
Come and get me!
Girls...
Girls, girls... girls, girls, girls...
Girls, girls...
Girls...
- It's all in the serve, isn't it! - You bet!
GIRLS!
just a little touch!
Girls! Let me touch you!
Hey, Gramps!
- This can't mean... - He's going through withdrawal?
Whaddya mean, withdrawal?
He is Japan's most perverted master!
When he can't touch a woman, it's the same as not breathing.
I had no idea.
W-What are you two doing?
We'll dump you alone and forgotten!
I'll tie it so tight you'll never revive!
Let me out.
Hey, Ranma!
What are you doing?
Ranma.
I'm not here to rescue you, or nothin'...
I just don't like kickin' a man when he's down.
R-Ranma.
Come out of the box. I'll take off the Nyokenko.
And I was so mean!
Hey, get away from me!
A girl's body! A girl's body!
Stop it! Stop it!
I'm a hundred times stronger!
You jerk!
Now that I'm fully recovered, it's time for payback!
You're such a creep!
You fool!
The scent of Nyokenko now works against you!
It's only good for 2 or 3 hours. That smell's gonna wear off!.
Before that happens, I want a picture of you wearing this bra!
Do it if you can!
Oooba, oooba...
Psyche!
Don't you dare take off the applique Akane sewed for me!
Geez! She sewed that ugly pig too tight!
It's ugly, is it? And here I came to help you!
Where's the freak? He got away!
just change back to a guy first!
What?
I drank all the hot water!
Why, you--!
There, that should keep in th' stink.
You're right!
I got in. I can get out just as easily.
What's going on?
I drank too much water! I'm stuck!
Ranma, time-out.
No time-outs!
Leave the rest to us!
No mercy for evil monsters!
Take this! Take this! Take this! Take this!
He's destroyed!
It's finally over, Saotome!
You fools!
Master, please calm your righteous anger! I beg of you!
Dad, you are so pathetic!
Now put on this bra!
You may be a giant creep, but you're still a creep!
Nnyaah!
"I, too, have my pride."
You fool!
Look at that!
What is he doin'?
I'm impressed, Pop!
"I - I leave it to you..."
Don't turn giant and wimp out!
He must've used up all his battle aura!
What a waste!
I can't believe Dad passed out groveling!
Well, this fight sure was meaningless.
Stay away, you perverted freak!
Don't wanna!
Are Father and Mr. Saotome well? They went straight to bed.
Dunno.
And what about the panty-thief case?
Dunno!
Haven't you had enough?
I'm 100% stronger!
Excuse me, your dinner's getting cold!
Don't bother! That freak only needs Ranma for nourishment!
Get away from me!
Shut up!
No need to yell!
We're bonding emotionally as any master and disciple should!
Here's your emotional bonding!
just return all those panties!
You have no right to kick your master!
Are you sure you want to make me angry?
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
