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.
For the Chrysalis Technique, you must deny the physical world.
Exactly. In darkness, your enemy must never sense you.
The trick is to become the greenery around you.
I must become the grass and trees.
Ranma isn't advanced enough for this.
I'll teach him by example.
Ranma, watch well.
Sense my presence and try to attack.
Old man!
Most impressive.
Our master's the best.
He who masters this can beat an enemy and never be seen.
The technique of a true expert.
I can't light it. It must be broken.
You're pretty good, Gramps.
But try this!
Snow-white panties!
Gotcha!
Of course, even experts may have their weak spots.
True. How profound, the path to martial artistry.
Ranma, enough training for today.
Father.
What is it, Kasumi?
The water heater for the bath is broken.
I'll call the repairman, but...
So we won't be able to use the tub for a while?
We'll have to ask everyone to use the public baths tonight.
And I'll have dinner ready for you when you get back.
The public baths? Remember when the three of us went together?
Soun... Genma...
We were in training.
We'd support the master as he peeped over at the women's side.
You again? You perverts!
Lechers! Next time we won't go so easy on you!
Master!
Sorry, Soun, Genma!
When they discovered us, he'd run, leaving us to take the heat.
Those were the days.
My fondest memories are of the public baths.
Yeah, why don't we all make an outing of it?
I always make do with the metal tub in the backyard.
I'm feeling a bit feverish. The hot baths would make it worse.
What's with them all of a sudden?
Ol' fuddy-duddies. You ready, Ranma?
Before our trip to China, we went to public baths all the time.
Ranma, watch over the master, and be sure he does nothing rash.
Whatcha bringing bath toys for? You're embarrassing me.
Mind your own business.
I'm home!
I'm telling you, you'll never see anything like it.
You don't want to miss out.
Oh, and there's something you should bring.
Welcome back.
You're home late.
I went shopping with friends and lost track of time.
See you there, then.
Akane, get ready to go.
Uh... Wha?
They call this a bathhouse??
How classy!
C'mon in.
Two adults? That'll be 590 yen.
Ooh, would you wash my ba--
Here's the 590.
I can't take you anywhere, can I. You always gotta embarrass me.
What're you waitin' for, Ranma!? Get a move on!
I'm all set.
Aw, who cares. It ain't a crime to play with toys.
I'm going in.
Wait for me, will ya?
- There she is! - Nabiki!
Wait long?
You invited your friends, too!?
The more the merrier.
You came prepared?
Yeah, but what do we need it for?
Never mind that now. Let's go in.
Go, go!
- It's the Yamato. - What's this?
It's a "Bath Goldfish." You ride it this way.
Why so nice today?
Be quiet, you.
Time for snorkeling.
Sneaky li'l...
What's the big idea!?
What're you going to the women's side for?
We're at a public bath. Have to check the women's side, too.
- Listen-- - Ranma!
Keeping an eye on Gramps for us?
Nabiki! You're here!
That means Akane's here, too.
Ranma, I wanna go. I wanna go. I wanna go.
She ain't got nothin' I wanna see.
Sorry to be so boring!
You okay, Ranma?
I told you we should come later.
What's so wrong with a little fun?
Nabiki, you're shameless.
Now's my chance.
Can't take my eyes off you for a second!
Oh, yeah!
I gotta go to the bathroom!
Can't you hold it a little longer?
It's hard to hold it when you're old. Please?
Okay, okay. But...
No tellin' what you'll do, so I'm comin' along.
just what is it you think I'll do?
- Hurry it up. - Okay!
Mission accomplished.
Crossin' over to the women's side should be easy!
Took long enough.
What kind of a place is this...?
Nothing's goin' on.
Nabiki, what are you hoping for?
I'm bored.
Ranma, lemme wash your ba--
I don't trust you behind me.
It's just master-disciple bonding!
You were gonna splash me from behind! I ain't fallin' for it!
How 'bout the front then...?
Bathhouse battle, huh!?
Y' old shrimp, I'll boil you pink!
Old lecher, I've had enough!
Running away?
Well, Ranma? Finished already?
You freak! This time's for real!
I'm over here.
Wait up! Hold it right there!
- What's that? - A girl in the men's bath?
There, you see? I knew it.
Honestly!
Quit your runnin', old man!
Take this!
Stay right there!
Take this, and this...
Then how about this?
You're putting some effort into it. I'm impressed.
I'm not dumb enough to fall for that trick.
Oh, no!
What an amateur.
Hey, you.
What's going on here?
That voice!
Akane!
What have you done?
Disappointed?
Like we'd really go without suits when you're around.
Fine, then!
You don't like me. Nobody likes an old man like me.
Fine. Be that way.
Don't be such a child. Just...
go back to you OWN side!!
This is weird.
That girl's not coming up.
Maybe she's drowning!
Let's pull her out!
Wish I could help, but...
Sometimes you're better off alone.
Where is she?
I-It's over! Gotta have AIR!
It's connected to the guy's side!
I'm saved!
Quit it with the faces, you stinkin' Oompa-Loompa.
I-It's not what you think. You got it all wrong...
No, they have it right.
You said you were going peeping, you pervert.
Good grief. Why do I have to suffer because of you?
Now you're adding injury to insult.
The Bathhouse Sure-Fire Attack! Prepare for your punishment!
He disappeared!
Anything-Goes Founding School Secret Attack: "Hermit-Crab Punch."
I'm impressed! Hiding in a bucket!
Using his small body to its fullest. That attack's scary!
Your tricks won't save you this time. I'm ready for you now!
Alright, one more time.
Hermit-Crab Punch!
He's not there!
Over here!
- Over here! - Geez!
Where-did-you-get-to-you-little--?
Okay, now it's getting old.
Gee, should we take our suits off??
You senile little squirt...
Come 'n' get me!
Oh-h-h no, you don--
And now for a leisurely review of the female form...
My rheumatism's gotten worse.
Really? You, too?
How awful.
And I can't hear very well nowadays.
It's causing a world of trouble.
Wha... What-What-What?
What do you mean, "What."
You can't expect the young girls to stay, with all this going on.
But... But...
One did stay behind for me...!
What a vision!
A little touch of heaven!
I can't believe he fell for that.
The ol' man really had me jumpin'.
jumping through hoops, more like. You're such an idiot.
Me, I had a great time.
The repairman gave the heater a good inspection.
He says it will only take a week, so enjoy the public baths for now.
Okay, Ranma, we're training at the baths tomorrow.
Shrimp!
That ain't trainin'.
Treatin' me like some kinda bath toy!
I've had enough! Tomorrow, you go with those two.
Ranma, isn't there some truth to the master's words?
Daily training is the heart of Anything-Goes Martial Arts.
Remember, you will inherit this dojo.
We're depending on you this week, Ranma.
B-But I...!
It's better that way.
You're watching the old man, so we can take our baths in peace.
Besides...
My friends had such a good time, I was going to invite a crowd.
Listen, you...
If Akane and Nabiki agree, you're outvoted.
I can't hardly wait.
Why, you old...
Well, looky here.
Which one should I wear tomorrow?
B-But I...!
You're stealing an old man's only pleasure. Then again...
Ranma!
You're the only one I can really count on. Tomorrow, let's train!
Y-You're makin' me sick! Get offa me!
You can wear Akane's suit!
Don't want it!
You can have mine, too!
Okay, you... That's it.
I ain't your bath toy! Lemme alone!
I don't think those baths will be open much longer.
