Whatta haul! Whatta haul!
Stop, you!!
- Stop! - Nyaaah!
Happosai's at it again? Dirty ol' lech!
A persimmon!
- Filthy pervert! - Get him!
I'll get you for this, Ranma!!
You had it comin'.
Ranma! Hold it right there!
M-Master!
Yo, Happosai! Glad to see you're alive!
You--! lmpudent brat!
S-Saotome, the master's furious about something.
"Don't look at me - - I'm innocent."
- Saotome! - You're dead meat!
"Now what...??"
You robbed me of my sweet pleasure.
You'll pay for this!
Do you hear, Ranma?!
For your punishment, a moxa burn!
People still do this?
Hey! Quit foolin' around!
It's hot, hot hot!
Hah! Serves you right!
He left after only applying moxa?
"If I hadn'tve seen it myself..."
He causes nothin' but trouble.
The same goes for you.
'Bye!
Rats. My back still burns.
Stop complaining. You're lucky it wasn't worse.
True. Old Happosai let me off easy.
Ranma Saotome! Fight, fight, fight!
It's Kuno.
Fight fair and square!
It's too early in the morning for thi--
What was that? Can't you kick any harder?
You're a glutton for punishment!
That was amusing. Now FIGHT!!
Okay, you asked for it!
- Ow. - Ranma! Get up, Ranma!
I-I won. I've beaten Ranma Saotome.
Which means--
Date with me, Akane Tendo!
Get lost!!
Ranma, something's wrong! You never lose to Kuno!
It's impossible.
How could I lose to that windbag Kuno?
Something's. . .
Something's definitely wrong here!
- O-Oh, n-no--! - You idiot! What've you done?!
- H-hey, kid, you okay? - He's got to be hurt bad!
It don't hurt at all, dummy.
Ranma, what's wrong--?!
This can't be happening.
Ranma's grown weak?!
Can you help, Dr. Tofu?
There's nothing wrong with his bones--
This moxa scar--!
I-lt's back after a hundred years. . .!
The strength-sapping moxa burn!!
Here it is.
I think it's here in this ancient book.
Found it!
It says here, when treated with this moxa. . .
even the strongest martial artist. . .
grows as weak as a baby.
That moxa--!
That dirty Happosai--!
But there's a cure for it, isn't there?
- I'm very sorry, but. . . - Huh?! But--
There's no cure at present for the strength-sapping moxa.
Does that mean Ranma will--?
I'll be like this. . .
forever?!
Ranma!
Ranma.
Dr. Tofu!
"We're BEGGING you..."
Please, Doctor! Find a cure!
Doctor!
All right. I can't make any promises, but I'll try.
"We owe you one!!"
Thank you, Dr. Tofu!
What could these be?
Letters, maybe?
This is old news.
Oh! Good news!
Here, mail delivery! Open your mail!
Dirty ol' freak!
Huh? Did a dragonfly land on my head?
That payback was dirty, you--!
You're not getting off that easy, Ranma!
The real payback is only beginning!
What?!
That idiot, Ranma. Where could he have gone?
Huh?
P-chan!
What're you doing here?
A letter?
"Ranma is weak!"
What's this?
Your enemies will beat a path to your door.
But first. . .
I'll beat the cure out of you and get well!
Take that! Nyaah, nyaah!
Hee! Kiss my butt!
- Maybe I'll let you go this time-- - Ranma!
God, only your big mouth is strong.
Ranma Saotome.
Is Saotome absent?
Um, he is here, sir.
You see, he's been having problems.
Personal problems are no excuse to skip school.
Hide here until we find a cure for you!
Dirty Akane--!
That was close! I ain't gonna hide from this!
Hallo, boy!
- Haircut check! - Principal!
That no hurt at all!
Hold still while I shave!
- How's this?! - No hurt.
- How's this?! - Nope.
I see the rumors are true, Ranma Saotome!
Die!
Dirty--!
You cowardly wretch, resorting to subversive literature--.
Why won't you admit that I've beaten you fairly?!
Don't get cocky--!
Prepare to lose, Ranma Saotome!
Damn. I can't get up my strength--!
Die!!
- Shave head! - Heaven's retribution!
They're all cowards!
Ryoga!
Don'tcha wanna beat me up, too?
Don't underestimate me! I hate guys who beat up on weaklings!
Who ya callin' weak?!
That felt like a baby's touch.
Your punch was like a lightning bolt, but now it's weak.
Weak! Weak! Weak!
I can't stand seeing you. . .
like THIS!!
Gee, you're all hearrrrt!
There might be a cure?!
There's a chart for spots where the strength-sapping moxa is applied.
It's kept in a certain place.
Yaay! Thank you, Dr. Tofu!
"We owe you TWO!!"
That chart should show the spot where the effects can be reversed.
I've got to tell Ranma!
Now, back to work.
What's this?
Ranma-honey!
Hang on, Ranma-honey.
Ranma?
You'll never be strong again! You'll never defeat anybody!
Ranma Saotome, you are defeated!
I've beaten Ranma!
I can't stand seeing you like this!
Hot! I'm burning up! Get this moxa off !
Are you awake, Ranma-honey?
Ukyo? What happened?
I picked you out of the garbage.
I heard the rumors. You've grown weak?
I--
Don't worry, Ranma-honey. I'll help you.
Do you know how to reverse the treatment?!
I'll work to support you.
- I lose! - Papa's so weak.
Now, now, don't hurt Papa.
- You won't have to lift a finger. - Whaddya talkin' about, anyway?
I'm your fiancee, you know.
You can't take over the Tendo School if you're weak.
So your engagement to Akane will be cancelled, too.
All I care about now is gettin' my strength back!
I don't care about the school or that pushy shrew, Akane!
Oh, really?
Too bad, I know a way to cure you.
Please help me. You're cute!
How about a nice massage?
Forget it.
Talk about butt-kissing--
Shampoo! Where is Shampoo?!
What's all this yelling about?!
I've finally beaten Ranma!
So you're going to be my bride! . . . All right, Shampoo?!
Shampoo went back to China for a visit.
The dried-up monkey.
Monkey with THIS!
"Ranma is weak!"
So the rumors are true, after all.
What?! The strength-sapping moxa. . .
was applied to YOU?!
We learned that the chart showing the reversal spot is in this temple.
You've got it, right? C'mon, give it to me!
He's fainted.
That must be a powerful treatment.
Show me the chart! Please!
I'm sad to say, the chart is no longer here!
A hundred years ago, a thief broke in here and stole it.
Oh, no! Can't I ever be strong again?
But there's still hope! Take a look at this!!
Hey--!
It's a sketch of the thief that stole the chart!
Find him, and you might find the chart!
He looks exactly like Grandfather Happosai.
That means--!
If I steal it back from Happosai, I can be strong again!
Gee, that's easy! Isn't that great, Ranma-honey?
I'm not so sure about that.
Grandfather Happosai, I'll burn any trash that you don't want.
I want this.
This, too.
And this.
What's this?
I don't know, so. . .
Burn it!
Hold it!!
This is it! The reversal spot!
Oh, that's right. It's the chart for the strength-sapping moxa spots.
You dirty ol'--! Gimme that!
I dare you to take it!
Okay, I will! With the last ounce of my strength!
Kasumi!
Akane--
You're giving your all?! Then I will, too!
He's going full strength against Ranma?!
That's dirty.
Ranma!
I ain't finished yet!
Take a look at these!
Sweet!
Caughtcha, old goat.
Whatcha doin'?
- I'm tryin' to lift this--! - Lucky me.
- Quit it! Quit it! - I'm in lech heaven!
Don't be so pathetic!
Ranma!
Damn--!
How low you've sunk.
Feminine wiles are all you've got left?
What?
Now you know!
- Without your strength, you're nothing! - Grandfather Happosai!
Cut it out, will you?
If you're naughty, there'll be no dinner for you.
Let's have that chart!
No-o. No.
Ranma! You're never getting this chart!
You'll never be strong again!
C'mon, don't let it get you down. Cheer up.
R-Ranma.
Pull yourself together!
R-Ranma?
Ranma-honey!
Stupid! Snap out of it!
Quit tryin' to cheer me up.
Ranma--!
That idiot Ranma. I was only trying to help.
Well, see if I care!
Father! It's awful! Ranma and Mr. Saotome are gone!
They seem to have left last night.
Why?!
Ranma can't take over the school if he's weak. Maybe that's why.
- Ah, the tragedy!! - That's not true!
Ranma would never run from anything! Would he, Dad?!
Of course not. Ranma's not such a weakling.
How could he leave without saying one word to me?
Well, I'm not going to worry about him. He can forget it.
Akane!
Ranma--?!
You idiot, Ranma. Where are you?
