Off to work!
Off to another exciting day at work!
How can somebody that old be that fast?
Master!
Father, your tea is getting cold.
He's been like this ever since he got home.
The town council met to decide the new chairman.
I wonder if something happened there.
I know! They didn't elect him!
That's only for people with nothin' to do.
The chairman is a fine position.
And Father certainly has nothing to do.
I wonder why he wasn't elected.
You're wrong!
You've got it wrong. You see--
That concludes our business concerning the summer festival.
Shall we choose my successor for chairman of the town council?
Can anyone recommend someone suitable?
This year, I believe that Tendo is the perfect man for the job.
Oh, no--
Only Mr. Tendo will do!
Now wait, someone like me--
You may be modest, but you can't hide your qualities!
You remain calm in any crisis!
And you have the courage to stand against any villain!
This job was made for you, Tendo.
Thank you. Thank you.
And that's what happened.
That's great!
Congratulations, Father!
I don't see the good of it, but congrats anyway.
I'm not finished.
Now that Mr. Tendo's in command, we can all relax.
I'm honored.
Now that underwear thief is as good as captured.
"Underwear thief"!?
I've tried my best, but he always seems to get away.
Don't let us down, Tendo!
I was happy to receive such an honor.
But the Master lives in my house.
If they found out the thief lives here, my reputation will be shot!
Or if the Master finds out I'm chairman. . .
he'll use it for his own evil purposes!
More panty raids. More unpaid bills. More reports of voyeurs.
Is it so fun to frighten Dad?
Dad, don't worry! Even Gramps wouldn't shame his disciple.
We'll have to be extra cautious.
Ranma, you must NEVER let the Master know!
You either, Akane!
I'm home! Daddy's the chairman of the town council!
Welcome home.
H-How did you know!?
You post a big sign, and somebody will read it!
Congratulations, Town Councilman! Soun Tendo, Esquire
What!?
Saotome!
This is Big Kahuna! Overkill!
"Now it's Of-FISH-al!"
"Aren't you excited?"
I'm impressed.
It's a bit much.
If the Master should see that--!
Chairman?
Soun, good work!
Master, I have a large favor to ask.
No need to say it. I understand.
It's about the underwear robberies.
Master!
You DO understand!
Relax.
I know it's unseemly for the chairman to condone a thief.
That's what I've been praying for!
That's our Master!
So I will protect the town myself!
Follow me, Soun, Genma!
Wait, Master!
We can't protect the town running this fast!
Don't be stupid, catching crooks is a question of speed!
I spy with my little eye--
Fetch, Genma!
What is the meaning of this, Saotome!?
Sorry. I'm just so used to following the Master's orders.
C'mon! Time's a wastin'!
Master, won't doing this make US the underwear thieves?
Yours is not to reason why. Just follow me!
I understand your point, but could you consider my position?
You fool!
To the housing development!
Can't you load those panties faster?
"Members of the town council. . .
"it is with great sadness that I tender my resignation."
What a haul! What a haul!
I think this is enough for one night.
Soun, I will now protect this underwear for the chairman.
Show your gratitude!
This way the underwear thief will never get these panties!
What!?
And we'll do a better job tomorrow!
Tendo!
Good mornin'.
What's he sleepin' in for?
Honestly! Dad is just being used by Happosai.
Ranma! You are the only one I can turn to!
How sweet! Sweet!
But numbers alone aren't bringing me happiness. This is dull!
I want something really exciting!
Tonight: quality over quantity.
We're off!
Ranma.
Why are you following me?
It ain't my idea of a good time either.
Then get lost!
That can't be--
How sweet!
No you don't!
Sweet--
No you don't!
You fiend! Are you going to interrupt every time?
Are you goin' to quit any time soon?
Just try to stop me if you can!
If you manage it, I'll give you this!
You dirty old freak!
Catch me if you can!
You creep!
Come after me!
Hold it!
Ranma, this is for you. Put it on.
I'm ruined! What'll I do?
Father? The former chairman's here to see you.
It's all over!
Thank you for waiting.
Wait up, you dirty old man!
Did you see something passing by?
No! Nothing!
Wait up!
Excuse me. That hurts a little.
- Here you go. - Why thank you, m'dear.
This is hard to say, but. . .
when you were elected, we thought the thievery would stop.
Everyone was so excited.
But now the incidents have only increased.
I know that I've let you down.
Let's not talk about that now.
I've come here today because I have a favor to ask.
Of me?
The greatest beauty in Chinese history is Yang Gui-fei.
Her legendary "Phantom Bra" is here in town.
Yang Gui-fei's bra?
It's not just a bra. It's one of mankind's treasures.
Where is this bra?
- In my shop. - In your antique shop?
Yes. I have to be away from my shop on business for a few days--
I would like you to protect the bra from the thief.
Very well. I'll do whatever I can.
Thank you! I mean, if its secret ever got out--
"Secret"?
I ain't yer doormat!
Just when they're gettin' to the good part--
Shaddup!
You fool!
What's going on?
I'm sure it's just a stray cat.
The walls have ears. Let's keep this secret.
I'll whisper.
Yang Gui-fei's bra! lt will cap off my collection!
Be careful!
Sure, Ranma should go, but why do I have to tag along?
What's that supposed to mean!?
You're protecting bras! You'll be a happy guy!
So happy! Take me on guard duty, too!
Master, you're the one we'll be guarding it from.
There's some mistake! I've been framed!
WE will protect the Phantom Bra of Yang Gui-fei.
No fair! No fair! I wanna be on guard duty!
You cannot come! Even if you insist as Master.
I was proud of you, Dad! You told him off to his face!
But I know he won't be stopped by words.
He'll be here. The underwear will force him to show up!
It's a bright night, Tendo.
Maybe so!
Yang Gui-fei's bra! lt's good to be alive!
Wow! This stuff's ancient!
And Yang Gui-fei's bra is in there.
Let us observe the relic!
No! We're here to protect it!
Looking won't hurt it!
I said no!
Don't be such a stickler!
Quit actin' like the ol' freak!
"Don't compare me to him-!"
The old man!
Damn!
Master, anything but that--
Relax. I shall take this bra into my protection.
Wait up, y'little freak!
Master, you mustn't open that box! Do you understand?
Dad, do you think he'll listen?
Charge!
They never give up!
Okay Gramps, hand over that bra!
I don' wanna!
- You-- - Wanna fight?
Hold it!
Ranma, that's quite enough.
Whaddya mean, "that's enough"?
Whaddya mean!?
The Master is correct.
Let us allow him to view it.
You really mean that?
Of course I do!
"I'm sure there's more to this than he's letting on..."
It's safest.
Be my guest.
I have wonderful disciples.
Now for the real thing!
This is it?
Yang Gui-fei's bra!
What's this?
It won't come off!
This is the cursed bra of Yang Gui-fei!
"Cursed bra"?
Emperor Xuan Zong was so enamored, he risked his kingdom!
But she was murdered, and she left a curse.
Anyone who touches this bra will NEVER look at another woman!
So that's why it's over his eyes.
Forgive me! Master, forgive me!
As the chairman of the town council, I had to stop you!
That's fine.
The bra is hugging ME! What a reversal!
Yang Gui-fei's bra! I love you!
Who disturbs my slumber!?
It's the ghost of Yang Gui-fei!
What? Yang Gui-fei?
Who is this old man?! How revolting!
My bra--
Hubba-hubba!
Yang Gui-fei!
I hate old men!
If you've got a problem with it, make yourself younger!
This handsome boy is my type!
Me!?
Come here, little boy.
Hey, Ranma!
Ranma!
What are you doing to Ranma!?
Don't interfere!
Akane!
Come along.
I, Soun Tendo, Single Asian Male. . .
offer myself in Ranma's place! Treat me as you wish!
I have no interest in old men or pandas!
Come here, sexy--
I'm so much better-looking!

I told you, I hate old men!
The intruders are all taken care of. You're mine now!
If you want a kiss, go ahead!
A-A woman!?
Too bad. Now I'm a girl, your tricks don't work!
You fool! Everyone attempts to mock me!
Take this!
Ranma!
Yang Gui-fei technique: Snake Transformation!
I'll squeeze the life out of both of you girls!
I can't breathe!
Akane, hang in there!
This can't go on! There's gotta be a way!
Ranma! Akane!
Pop, bring the hot water!
Ranma, don't! If you turn into a boy, she'll hypnotize you again!
What other choice do I got!? The water--!
Yang Gui-fei baby!
Oh, well.
Emperor Xuan Zong!
How I've longed for you, Xuan Zong!
I'm Genma Saotome! Just some middle-aged guy!
Please wait, Xuan Zong!
Yang Gui-fei has no taste in men.
If you're not careful, you'll call her "mom."
Saotome gets the girl?
Unforgivable! Stealing his Master's woman!?
A panda.
Yang Gui-fei baby!
Get away, old man!
I'll never let go!
I said let go!
The prime of my life!
Stop!
What happened?
Yang Gui-fei--
Yang Gui-fei! Come out wherever you are!
Yang Gui-fei!
How sweet!
What!?
The bra!
She HATES me!
Soun, Genma, thanks for the hospitality. I'm off on a journey.
Master!
Don't try to stop me. I'm stung to the heart.
Nobody's lifting a finger.
Master!
Live in happiness.
"Don't come back now, y' hear-!"
What a beautiful morning, Saotome.
This is the life of peace.
I feel sorry for the old chairman, but the panty thief case is closed.
You've fulfilled your duty as the new chairman.
Ranma, do you think Gramps is feeling any better?
Sure he is! I'll bet he's stealin' underwear right now.
You're right.
Ranma, speak of the devil and he'll appear before you.
What a haul! What a haul!
Thanks for your hospitality!
