Everyone! Breakfast is ready!
'Morning!
I'm starved!
It's FOOD!
What's wrong?
Kasumi, just pickles today?
That's right.
Here, Ranma.
Yesterday all we had was pickles and seaweed.
"The day before THAT, we had pickles, seaweed, AND fermented soybeans."
That means that tomorrow is just--
Just rice?
Of course not! We won't even have rice tomorrow.
That's mine! Quit it, you rotten--
Come to think of it, we don't have one student at the dojo.
No wonder we don't have an income.
Besides that we've got THREE freeloading guests.
No money at the Tendo Dojo!?
And my darling Ranma is forced to eat like a peasant!?
Like a peasant? I had to make a bowl of brine last 10 days.
My darling Ranma is forced on a starvation diet!
And it's only natural that I should be the one to rescue him!
I am off to make Darling Ranma's dojo a success!
It's been years since I had a plate of pickles!
It's a sad day when a dojo must consider worldly matters.
But we have no choice.
And we cannot lay the entire blame on Kasumi.
Master, what is this?
Need you ask!?
I've come to realize I have lived at your house as a guest.
This is my prized collection. I offer it as my debt of honor!
Sell it and you'll bring in a mint!
Master, as a martial artist, I must never accept such a gift!
I would rather die than take panties from you!
Soun!
Please take them back.
Soun! I have such a good disciple!
Tendo, I'm sorry that your guests can do nothing to help!
Oh, Saotome, I'm sure you'll think of something you can do.
How happy I am to be conveyed to the dwelling of Master Ranma!
I, Kodachi, present myself as his bride.
Ranma's bride!?!?
Saotome, I demand an explanation!
Ranma hasn't said a thing--
My darling father!
I don't want to hear that word from a woman I don't even know!
My daughter!
Saotome!
Granddaughter!
Unhand me, you filthy goat!
I wouldn't talk that way if I were you.
I am Ranma's master, or from Ranma's perspective, his Grampa.
What have I done?
Grandfather, please accept this wretched girl into your service!
SAOTOME!!
You wanna play tennis?
Sorry, busy today.
- Ranma, we're hittin' the pool. - I'll pass.
Ranma, you're going home, right?
Sorry, I got some place to be. I'll meet you back home.
"Some place to be"?
Long story.
What's he up to?
I'm sure you'll like it!
The Tendo Dojo is the best!
It can't be beat. The Tendo Dojo.
Please--
"Come to the Tendo Dojo!"
"Wanna be attractive?" "Then Tendo Dojo's for you."
Ranma--
Everybody's welcome!
Tendo Dojo can't be beat!
I guess he was worried over our money problems at breakfast.
Give it a try!
Ranma!
Wha-- What do you want, Akane!? What are YOU doin' here!?
What do you think? I'm gonna help you hand out flyers.
Take a flyer, please.
Why, sure!
Martial arts? There aren't any single women there!
Here! I'll take one! Over here!
Sure!
I thought it was a free pack of tissues.
This plan's no good.
Pink Bunny Cabaret
That's it!
Listen!
Okay, but why am I the ONLY one wearin' the bunny costume!?
But I'm just a little girl who blushes at the slightest thing!
What's going on?
- So what're you advertising? - What're you selling?
Look at flyer, y'idiot!
Oww! My foot!
Give 'em a smile!
Oh, all right!
The Tendo Dojo is now acceptin' new students.
If we train there, we can see you?
That's right, sweetie!
Ranma!
I think I'll go!
- Me, too! - I'm already there!
Please come. We'll enroll you tomorrow afternoon at the dojo.
Martial arts. Sure I'll give it a try.
Why don't you jerks just stay at home!?
Then I imagine you'll like meals consisting of water!
What a handsome future martial artist!
You're such a hunk!
You're gorgeous!
You'd look great in a gi !
Start early!
I'm home--
What's wrong?
Welcome home!
Y-You're. . .
Kodachi the Black Rose!
Correction: Kodachi Saotome!
"Kodachi Saotome"?
What's this about, Kasumi?
It couldn't be helped.
She gave Father a tip, and he opened the whole house to her.
I shoulda known.
The repast is complete!
Shall we dine? Darling Ranma!
W-Wait a sec!
Whatever can it be?
Why do I hafta get married to you!?
Oh, Darling, how you tease me.
It's only natural for two people in love!
C'mon! Just who is in love here!?
Now you force the words out of me!
How demanding you are!
Owww!
Darling Ranma, you must be famished!
My gawd! It's huge!
It is but a trifle I threw together but please help yourselves.
Akane?
Aren't you hungry?
Food like that would only rot in my stomach!
Such is the picture of a jealous woman!
Honestly! Ranma's such a jerk!
Ranma's such a jerk.
Good Morning, Darling Ranma!
You're still here?
Still, you ask such questions?
Every married couple lives under the same roof!
Who're you sayin' you're married to!?
Shall we tidy up your futon?
Leggo!!
Married couples needn't stand on ceremony!
We ain't married!
Stop it! Pull any harder and you'll rip it!
Akane! It ain't what you're thinkin'!
Darling Ranma! Please bring OUR futon to the window!
What a pain!
Whatcha doin', Akane?
Open your eyes! I'm preparing for the students!
Why didn't you say so? I'd have helped out!
I'm fine alone!
I'm sure married life agrees with you more than running a dojo!
- Stop that! I had nothin' to do with it! - Really!?
It looks like your marital relations are just fine!
I told you you had it wrong.
Darling Ranma! Where should I hang the wash?
There's a clothesline around back, but--
This house is so small I didn't realize it was the back!
If you'll excuse me.
It was just washed and now it's all dirty.
N-No!! It's not-- You got it wrong!!
You got it wrong, Akane! They're not--
She's washing your underwear! What do I have wrong!
Do you think this flyer will attract new students?
Don't worry! We'll be buried in new students soon!
Well done, Ranma. I'd expect that from MY son!
He's the true heir to the Saotome School!
I'm sorry to trouble you with our problems, Ranma.
Whatever is this?
Obviously, a flyer for the dojo.
You needn't worry over such trifles anymore.
Why ever do you think I became your wife?
You're NOT my wife!
To unite in our love and rebuild this dojo.
I shall do ANYTHING to reach our goal!
To the extent of selling the Kuno estate for mere millions!
Saotome! I thought this dojo was mine, right?
But someday it will become Ranma's, correct?
Exactly.
When Ranma marries Akane, it will naturally fall to him.
I-If Ranma doesn't marry Akane, the dojo will never be his!?
That about sums it up.
Why did no one say this before?
You never asked!
You MUST excuse me!
So what was that!?
Tendo Dojo New Student Reception Desk
The pest is finally gone!
Now I can sign up some students in peace.
I wonder if you're really relieved.
'Course I am!
I wonder how many students will show up?
Gee--
Shall we make a small wager on the number, Saotome?
Count me in!
Listen you two, this is serious business!
Yes, Ma'am.
Ranma!
All right!
Success!
And we owe it all to my irresistible charm!
Saotome!
Tendo!
From tomorrow on, we can eat real food again!
Just put your name and address here.
Well, this is a relief.
What the heck is that!?
How sweet!
Try our new student special!
Sign up now and eat for free!
That one's for me!
Excuse me. I'd like to cancel.
- Cancel me, too! - Cancel me, three!
- But-- - Hey, time out!
My darling!
M-Master!
Wait for me!
What's that for, Pops!?
"Korean Bar — B — Que, Korean Bar — B — Que ...!"
P-Pops!
Honestly! I'm going, too!
Akane! You mind if I turn back into a guy?
Whatever you want!
Dad!
This is NO time to go stiff in shock!
That's it.
Just watch me!
Ranma! Hold on a second!
One, two! One, two!
Keep up! Keep up! One, two!
High kick! One, two! One, two!
High kick! Very good!
THIS is a martial arts dojo?
Did you think you could challenge them to a fight?
But I think this is a different martial art.
One, two! One, two! Wonnerful, wonnerful!
Here, now just relax!
You're doing it!
Just like that!
Master--
Pops is such a jerk!
Darling Ranma, how I've waited!
You again?
What's this supposed to mean?
I must discuss something with Darling Ranma.
In actuality, this dojo belongs to Ranma!
What's the meanin' of this!?
You must know the meaning! What is a wife's is the husband's!
"He wants it! ...HE WANTS IT!"
This is not to be borne!
Ranma will marry Akane and inherit the Tendo Dojo!
This dojo is so much better!
Don't hesitate to accept, Ranma!
I'll never forgive you!
This dojo is much better!
Listen--
We'll make this dojo into heaven, together!
I'll help out, too!
Ranma, you'll marry Akane, right? Right!?
Will you guys. . .
CUT THIS OUT!?
Thanks for the offer, but I don't want a dojo.
So you HATE dojos?
That ain't it.
Anything-Goes Martial Artists should be able to train anywhere.
So there's no need for any dojo.
N-No!
You MUST excuse me!
What just happened?
Everyone! Time for breakfast!
So finally we're reduced to tea everyday.
Of course not! We'll be out of tea tomorrow.
Ranma's such a fool! If you had only accepted that dojo--
I don't need to hear that from you!
I want real food!
I told you to cut your complainin'!
What's this--?
A black rose? It's from Kodachi!
To my darling Ranma--
Whatever my darling Ranma could wish. . .
just one word and it will be yours!
Ask for lingerie!
Perhaps if your asked for the electricity back on.
I want a CD player.
White rice would be fine.
What are you sayin' I should do here?
What're ya, deaf? Go and ask Kodachi!
Nabiki!
Don't just sit there! Get movin'!
Get some eel teriyaki!
Get a move on!
Eel for me, too! And ramen and pot stickers!
Yeah! A BIG bowl of ramen and pot stickers!
Will you guys CUT IT OUT!?
