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--!
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?!
Is Ranma Saotome absent?
So is Ukyo, sir!
Ukyo's out, too?
Ucchan's Okonomiyaki Currently serving at our NEW location
"Moxa country, Yomogi Gorge, temporarily. "
It's got to be. Ukyo's gone with Ranma.
What's wrong with Ranma, anyway?
He never said a word to me, but he took Ukyo along!
It's hot. Heavy--!
Bear it, if you want to regain your strength.
The moxa from Yomogi Gorge has geothermal energy. . .
with the same effectiveness as moxa burns in curing illnesses.
Especially for--
Monkey lumbago.
Bear sprain.
Deer charley horse.
And fish warts.
Do I look like a fish?!
It didn't work!
So it was a waste of time?
We might have to get the chart away from Master Happosai. . .
and learn the reversal spot for the strength-sapping moxa cure.
But aren't you here because you couldn't do that?
There's a way. Only one.
Is that true, Pop?!
Tell me! Right now!
Ranma, the trick is difficult and very painful.
I'll try whatever it takes to defeat that ol' lech!
All right, I'll teach it to you.
My Saotome style of indiscriminate combat--!
The Fallen Tiger Move!
The Fallen Tiger Move--?
- Assume position! - Like this?
Hands upon the ground!
Face the enemy and--!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
I'm sorry!!
I learned this move from a tiger that had fallen from a cliff.
That's just a fancy name for groveling!
Cologne!
Having problems, Son-in-law?
This okonomiyaki is just delicious!
- Is it? - Whaddya want?!
I love my granddaughter, Shampoo.
I can't allow Happosai to make her fiance weak.
So I followed you here, Son-in-law.
You shoulda saved your energy.
I'll get my strength back without your help!
With tricks like the "Fallen Tiger Move"?
Haw, haw! What a laugh!
But a weakling like you can learn the optimum skill.
It's the. . .
Heaven Blast of the Dragon!
The Heaven Blast of the Dragon?
That sounds just as powerful as the Fallen Tiger Move.
I hope the idea's not from a dragon that fell to earth?!
Want to try it?
The three of you, attack me all at once!
It's just up ahead.
Ranma--
Huh?!
Wha--?
Ranma!
Heaven Blast of the Dragon! It's awesome!
I can win! I can defeat ol' Happosai!!
I'll master it in three days!
He didn't even see me!
Well, never mind. At least he seems happy.
Let's eat! We'll train afterwards!
Yomogi Gorge?
It's not here. It's on the other side of the mountain.
I'm going to Yomogi Gorge to look for Ranma! Be good, P-chan!
Akane--.
Yum!
Be grateful that I brought Ukyo to cook for us.
I am, I am!
If I had to eat Akane's awful cooking during training--
- Before the big fight-- - Right! I'd die of indigestion!
And to think I was worried about you!
Fallen Tiger Move!
That's pretty useful, if you ask me.
What did you make of the Heaven Blast of the Dragon, Son-in-law?
Back then. . .
as we gradually moved in on you. . .
we were drawn into a single spot.
Then you unleashed a single blow!
The Flying Dragon's steps. . .
form a spiral!
That's my Son-in-law! After just one experience, you knew.
Just as you guessed. . .
the Flying Dragon pulls the enemy into the spiral.
I may be weak, but I still got my speed.
Let them attack however they want.
The stronger the enemy, the greater the destructive force.
Remember, Son-in-law, move in this spiral path.
Don't ever miss a step. Step into some lime now.
Don't forget. No resting until you master the spiral.
The key is to retain your composure.
I hear you.
Good! Begin!
Here I come, Ranma!
Forgive me, Ranma! It's because I care!
Seven years old! The time you wet the bed!
Whatcha doin' with THAT?!
Ha, haaa!
Gimme that--!
Photo Embarrassment 2! Most recently--!
Yaaa!
Fool! Whaddya tryin' to DO?!
Where the heck is Yomogi Gorge?
Fool! Just look at your footprints!
It's a mess, not a spiral!
Never allow yourself to feel shame!
Or anger! Or excitement! Got that?
The secret to the Heaven Blast of the Dragon is total composure.
Namely, your heart must become as ice!
A heart of ice?
Unless you trace the spiral with a heart of ice. . .
you'll never perfect the Heaven Blast of the Dragon!
I understand.
I understand now!
If that's what it takes, I'll withstand any embarrassment!
- Ranma! - Ranma-honey!
That's my boy! I'll push you to the brink!
Just wait, just wait!
Last night, Ranma said in his sleep:
"Akane, I love you!"
That's a lie!
You lie, you lie, you lie!
Son-in-law! Maintain your composure!
"Akane, I love you!"
You lie! That's a lie! A lie!
Okay, so you hate me, huh?
What about me?!
- "I love you! I love you!" - No, I don't!
To think I came all this way for you--!
- This makes me look bad! - "I love you!"
That's a lie!
Success!
A perfect spiral!
You've passed Level One. . .
but the problem is the next part.
- I'll do anything! - Not you.
It's you girls. Go away.
- I can still help! - So can I!
No, neither of you has the heart to hurt Ranma.
And Ranma, even if you mastered the Heaven Blast of the Dragon. . .
you wouldn't use it against a girl.
Guess not--
That won't do. You need an opponent. . .
who isn't afraid to kill you, and vice versa.
I'M your man!
I'll take Ranma on. But I can't promise not to kill him.
Ryoga--!
R-Ryoga, you--!
You crazy guy. You came 'way up here just to help me?!
Ryogaaa!
You couldn't be more wrong!
- Ryoga, my pal! - Get away from me!
Is Ryoga lost again?
This is paradise! The water's perfect.
- What're we doing at a hot spring? - Who knows?
What's that harness for?
Who knows?
- Are you ready, Son-in-law? - Yes!
Good.
Ranma!
What's the big idea?!
That special harness is sensitive to body heat.
If the heat of any emotion should arise from your body. . .
the harness will clamp down on you. Now, commence training.
Good luck, Ranma-Honey!
Ryoga, don't go easy on him.
Don't worry, I'll kill him!
That's just what I want.
You needn't fight back, Son-in-law.
Maintain an icy composure and draw him into the spiral.
Amazing! Ranma's tracing a perfect spiral.
And the harness hasn't clamped down!
That shows Ranma-honey is perfectly cool!
You fool!
What was THAT for?!
Do you think I'm blind?! I told you not to hold back!
What?! When'd I ever hold back--?
The Flying Dragon soars on the heat from the opponent's fighting spirit.
Namely--!
Unless Ryoga fights with all his strength. . .
this training is nothing more than a sissy's dance!
But I WAS trying to hurt him--!
One-track mind! Wrong-way idiot! Grumpy lech! Short-legged mutant!
How's that? Feel like killin' me now?
I don't feel angry or anything when Ranma hits me.
And his insults only sound like. . .
a dog whimpering, its tail between its legs.
'Smatter, Ryoga?! Get mad and fight!!
I'm sorry, Ranma!
W-what's wrong?
I can't. I can't, after all.
I'm a more sentimental, kinder guy than I thought.
I'm too soft-hearted to hurt you when you're weak!
Call me "softie" if you want!
- R-Ryoga! - What a moron.
I'm too soft-hearted to hurt you when you're weak!
Curse that Ryoga! Treatin' me like a baby--!
Ow! Ow, ow, ow! Oh!
Ranma, let's train!
What's the idea?!
Substitute this fire for my fighting spirit. Great idea, isn't it?
Quit it! It's stupid!
Silence!
Akane! I told you--!
It seemed like such a good idea. But I guess it didn't work.
Go home, stupid!
I was only trying to help!
I don't need your help!
In the first place, I never wanted you here.
Am I. . .in your way?
Because I'm no help to you, at all?
T-Tears--!
No, you're wrong, wrong! Akane!
Hey, wait.
Wait, Akane!
I didn't want you seeing me like this!
Weak and uncool!
Hah! You were uncool even when you were strong!
Don't take that condescending air with me!
I'M condescending?!
Ryoga!
Disheveled clothing. A maiden's tears--
W-wait. Ryoga, this is--
No words are necessary, Akane!
Ranma!
Bastard! You had your way with Akane!
- You're dead! - W-Whaddya talkin' about?!
I'm sorry, Akane.
You looked so cute and sexy, I couldn't help myself !
Hah?!
But I can't take back what I did.
Why're you lying your head off?!
Ryoga, it's not true. It's not!
He snapped!
Shaddup!
Ryoga! It's not true!
Now I'll draw him into the spiral move!
Die!!
R-Rats.
Get up, Ranma!
Take this!
Stop it!
- You're killing Ranma! - No!
Stay away, Akane! I'm training!
Training?! How can you be so carefree?!
Are you making fun of me?!
Prepare to die!
- Not yet! - Grandmother Cologne!
What a fierce battle. Ryoga's a good friend, isn't he?
That's not it! Stop them before Ranma dies!
Can't you see it?
The vortex caused by fighting spirit.
Ryoga's been drawn into the Heaven Blast of the Dragon.
We're almost at the center of the spiral!
Drawing on the heat of the opponent's spirit. . .
the blow unleashed at the spiral's center. . .
awakens a sleeping dragon.
It becomes the final step of the Heaven Blast of the Dragon!
Heaven Blast of the Dragon?
Blast!
I forgot to teach him the final step!
Ranma! Run!
What do I do now?!
Run, Ranma!
Now, to end it!!
A whirlwind!! What's that?
"Someone's trash...?"
It's Ryoga!
Heaven Blast of the Dragon--?
He mastered it on his own.
