Tonight seems kind of ominous.
A ghost!
Last night, there was a sighting!
What kinda sightin'?
This kind!
Jeez, this is beneath you!
There ain't no ghosts in this day and age!
You never know. The world has lots of strange things in it!
That's right!
There are sex-changing weirdoes all around us!
Thin ice, girl!
Yeah, but I heard Furinkan High was built on an old graveyard!
I heard it was a prison back in samurai days.
And all those strange accidents when the school went up.
Stop that!
We can't ignore it. We gotta do something!
"Something"?
Somethin' like bustin' the ghost?
That's a good one!
Tonight we're busting ghosts! Who's in; raise your hands!
- Count me in! - Me, too!
- I'll come! - Me, too!
The twerps are out there.
What are you writing?
Busting ghosts is pretty hard work, right?
I'm figuring out how many okonomiyaki I have to make.
Great idea, Ukyo! Maybe I'll come after all.
Yeah, I know! I'll even knock Y500 off the price!
You're too kind.
You cover every angle!
Course I do. A girl on her own's gotta make a living!
A ghost hunt?
If possible, could you bust a monster, too?
I second that!
- One more! - Of course.
What's that about a "monster"!?
N-No, what a marvelous appetite you have!
I second that!
Only natural.
It's cause Ranma asked me to go help bust some ghosts tonight.
W-When did we ask you for anythin'!?
There are going to be girls there tonight, right!?
Then I'd better catch some beauty sleep!
That's what he's after.
Will a ghost actually appear?
The janitor vouched for it, and he never lies!
And the glass was broken, and nobody can figure out how!
So how about you two? Going along, or what?
Us against ghosts? Huh, Tendo?
With Ranma and Akane there, it'd just be overkill.
You're scared.
A-Am not!
But if you two demonstrated your skills. . .
it'd be a great opportunity to get publicity for the dojo!
Great idea! Saotome, if we both--
Saotome--
You ARE coming, right, Saotome?
"Pandas and ghosts don't mix."
You ARE coming!
Every "x" marks a ghost appearance.
Where the janitor was attacked or the halls were damaged.
But there aren't any good clues or correlating evidence.
In other words. . .
The ghost hasn't a thought in its head!
I've got a bad feeling about this.
What are you doing!?
That hurt! What's that for?
You touched my backside! You pervert!
It wasn't me.
Gramps!
Come into my arms, and allow me to soothe your savage breast!
Soothe this!
Everybody ready!? Let's bust some ghost butt!
Yeah!
The ghost may be frightened off by large groups.
We'll have to split up.
I'll go with these girls!
No!
No! We can't risk your life like that!
How did this happen!?
Okay, people, we're counting on you!
The school is creepy at night!
I want to see a few ghosts! This is borin'!
Downstairs!
Are you okay!? Hang in there!
A shot-put! Sliced in half!
Jeez! Look how it's cut!
This is no ordinary ghost!
Ra--Ranma--
These wounds! It looks like they were hit with 1000 razor cuts!
Razors?
It's here!
Help me!
Makoto, wha--
What happened!?
I-It's here!
W-Who's there!?
It's Naoto!
I-It's here!
It's real!
T-That's great!
But where is the old man?
N-No! The old lecher!
Wait a sec--
That's toilet paper they were throwing around.
Must've scared them good!
Ranma, that's another three down.
Hey, come out!
What're you hidin' for!? You coward!
Jeez, I'm gonna find out who you are!
There aren't any ghosts, right, Saotome?
You said it, Tendo.
- What's that? - The wind, right?
It's just a biology classroom skeleton!
Just a block of gelatin. You need more training!
You need more therapy, Saotome!
S-Saotome!
J-Just our imaginations, Tendo.
T-There aren't any ghosts on this floor. Let's go back!
Yes! Back is good!
Did you hear somethin'?
- It was faint. . . - but I heard it!
Let's go!
Dad!
What happened!?
Hiroshi and Daisuke!
Aww, man! We're the only ones left.
R-Ranma! It's coming from inside the gym!
Ranma!
I scared you! I scared you!
What are you doin', you freak!? I don't have time for this!
You little--
This ain't no time for playin' around!
You creep!
Success! Now put this on!
What is in your head!? Then this whole problem is your fault!
What do I gain by becoming a ghost and getting you riled up!?
I was so lonely with no one to hold my hand!
You went off on your own!
But I WANTED to go with the tennis girls!
THIS will get you sympathy?
The ghost is here!
See!? I told you it wasn't me!
Put this on and I'll forgive you--
Don't you ever quit!?
Put it on!
Cut it out!
What!?
Akane!
Ukyo!
Master sword maker Masamune made this spatula himself!
Now I'll never be able to face him again!
You can cry over your spatula later.
I think it's comin' round again! Let's go outside!
Darn that Ranma! I was nice enough to help him bust ghosts.
Fine! I'll just do what I feel like doing!
This must be a new bra design! It stinks!
Oh, it's just the fencing equipment!
But look how untidy everything is!
That putrid stink of man-sweat! I can't stand it!
I must succeed tonight!
Look at what it did to my precious spatula!
No chance of an ambush here. C'mon! We're ready!
It's not coming out!
We're the only ones left. It'll come!
Ranma-honey?
Do ya think I'll still be able to cook with this?
Come ON!
Not too subtle, is he?
That's one twisted spirit!
Why, you!
Ukyo! Look out!
Ukyo!
That does it!
You--
It's you, Sasuke!
Please save him!
Save who?
K-Kuno!?
He's the ghost!?
Indeed! And it's all my fault!
You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Kuno!
How dare you pretend to be a ghost and jerk us all around!
Ranma--
Master Kuno! Please forgive me!
Kuno's GOOD, all of the sudden!
Master Kuno is presently Miyamoto Musashi!
"Miyamoto Musashi"!?
Yes. It all started a week ago. . .
just moments before kendo club practice began--
As usual, Master Kuno was immersed meditation.
The pigtailed girl or Akane Tendo?
Master Kuno!
A-Akane Tendo, or. . . or the pigtailed girl?
Master Kuno!
Where did you find that ugly stick!?
That's--
Sasuke, where did you find this!?
I found it while cleaning the kendo dojo ceiling.
This must be the wooden sword Musashi carved from an oar. . .
before his legendary battle at Ganryu island!
So the old legends are true!
"Legends," my lord?
Once upon a time, a club member stole club dues and equipment.
A pawn shop rooked him into selling it all for this sword!
So, perchance it was in the ceiling!
That's stupid!
You would not understand, but I have insight!
They call Musashi the holy swordsman!
And he has chosen me as his successor!
And the proof is in my hands!
Master Kuno!
I need violence! The power surges through me!
Master Kuno, no!
Since then, Master Kuno vanished during the day. . .
but at night, he wanders the school halls like a ghost!
Musashi's vengeful spirit inside the sword has possessed him!
I guess the sword found a kindred spirit in Kuno.
He swings wooden swords around anyway.
No great jump there.
To put it simply, we gotta do somethin' about that sword!
Well, I've been trying out various plans--
It's too much for ya, huh?
I've been beaten 35 times in a row.
You've really been trying, huh?
I do my best.
Spanning 1500 years of Japanese history. . .
the techniques of the Black Miyamoto Wooden Sword School!
Take this!
All you do is ambush us! That's dirty!
You're better than that, Upperclassman Kuno!
Otsu! It's Otsu!
"Otsu"!?
Otsu, as in Musashi's long-lost ladylove!
Lady Otsu, come, let us live together as man and wife!
What a haul! What a haul!
Akane Tendo or the pigtailed girl?
Master Kuno!
Why must you be so loud?
I was cleaning the floor, and I found this!
A scabbard of unusually long length!
It must be for Kojiro Sasaki's "Clothes Rod". . .
discarded after the duel at Ganryu island!
And this!
The stewpot lid used by Tsukahara Bokuden to block an attack!
And this!
The sandals of the fleet-footed warrior, Chiba Shusaku!
And this, too!
The skin of the tiger wrestled by Kato Kiyomasa!
Now, we'll never get any sleep!
No kidding!
