WIN-A-PRIZE
Stand in line!
We have a winner!
I won!
You're lucky with lotteries, aren't you, Akane?
"Zekkyo Hot Spring Village Festival. Obstacle Course Race. Entry for two."
What's this?!
"Win a free trip to a hot or cold spring anywhere in the world."
Oh! You could even go to Jusenkyo, couldn't you?
You're right.
Hot springs race?
Want to go?
It's free, anyhow. And if you win--
Ranma!!
I'll allow it! Go with Akane! To the hot spring!
"O, happy day!"
It's so quiet.
And we're all...alone.
Akane!
Ranma...!
Ranma, I'm counting on you!
For what?
-- Ranma!! -- Y-yes.
Forget it! This isn't a pleasure trip!
Why should I go with a tomboy like her?!
Never mind! You don't have to force yourself!
What happened?! Things were going so well!
Until Father stepped in.
CAT CAFÉ
Just listen to me!
If we team up and win, we can go to Jusenkyo!
All right!
You'll come?!
Thanks for ticket!
A winner!
Hot spring obstacle course?
A waste of time! I'm no old geezer. Who wants to go...
...to some rustic hot spring?
Rustic hot spring?!
"Rustic hot spring. Ticket for two."
-- Quiet, isn't it? -- All alone, aren't we?
Akane...!
Ryoga!
Honestly...! That jerk, Ranma.
He wouldn't listen at all!
I didn't want to go with Ranma anyway.
Who needs this?!
Ranma?
What is it now?
Here, take it.
I couldn't tell you earlier, but if you win--
Nihao, Ranma!
Exciting news, Ranma.
Team with me for hot spring race!
Not again! Count me out!
What?! If we win, we can go to Jusenkyo?!
Right!
What's the big idea?! What's the big idea?!
Moron!
I was trying to be nice, too!!
A-Akane, come with me to the hot springs...!
No, wait a minute. Gotta play it cool.
Yo! I came by this ticket--!
What? A hot spring?!
-- I'd love to go! -- Silly!
That's it!
Go, Ryoga Hibiki! Play it cool!
Yo, I came by this ticket...!
Akane...!
Shampoo!
Shampoo!!
Why?! Why won't you team up with me, Shampoo?!
Who're you calling Shampoo?!
So that's what happened?
Want to go with me? Here.
It's the same ticket!
It'd be a waste to throw it away.
Great!! You're not who I wanted, but I'll put up with you!
That's my line!
Why can't I ask her?
It's so simple.
Please! Come with me to the hot spring!
-- What's the idea?! -- You've got it all wrong!!
"Hot spring obstacle race?"
Crowds will gather! That's good for business!
You switched to Mousse for a bowl of noodles? That's wonderful!
You're wrong!
I'll be all man again! I'll be all man again!
This chance to make Ranma mine!
Push harder!
I'll soak away my disappointment in the hot spring.
I'll be rich!
Welcome to the Zekkyo Hot Spring Village Obstacle-Course Race.
Will the contestants please come with your toweIs to the field?
I repeat, please come with toweIs to the field.
So many people!
I can hardly wait!
-- Do you think you can win, Ranma?! -- What?!
Why're you with Mousse, Akane?
Why should you care?
Akane! When you become friendly with Mousse?
I'm not!
Nice, hot okonomiyaki!
Ukyo here, too?
I go where the customers are.
Ryoga, you're here, too?
What a coincidence--!
You competing, too?
Not me.
Don'tcha wanna go to Jusenkyo?
"The winner receives a trip to a hot or cold spring..."
"...anywhere in the world!"
He didn't know?
Here are the rules.
Participants will go from spring to hot spring in a three-legged race.
Is that all?
That's all.
Hah! We'll win, easy!
Proceed to the first spring, Rapids with Surging Logs!
Rapids with surging logs...?
No more...pig!
-- C'mon, Shampoo! -- We win for sure.
Get set!
Two teams have already broken away!
Steer with this!
Right!
THE FIRST OBSTACLE: Rip-Roaring Rapids
They're droppin' like flies.
We as good as win!
You wish! I'll seal your fate NOW!
Stop it! I can't swim!
She hold so tight, you not jealous, Ranma?
Hah! Who'd get jealous over Akane--?
Well done, Akane Tendo!
Meanwhile, back at the starting line...
You idiot! Why'd you go in the opposite direction?!
This is only the beginning!
FESTIVAL COMMITTEE HEADQUARTERS
What? Some contestants are still in it?!
What'll we do?! They'll win a free trip to a spring anywhere in the world!
That'll wipe the village out!
Rapids and waterfalIs abound in Zekkyo Hot Springs!
Not a single hot spring is safe!! I'll see that every contestant faiIs!!
-- The headman--! -- He's on fire!
THE SECOND OBSTACLE: Plunging Waterfall
They made it past Obstacle 2!
Just wait.
THE THIRD OBSTACLE: Angry Alligator Pond
We're ahead, we're ahead! We win!!
Ranma, you idiot! If I'd been your partner, we would've won for sure!
-- 'Scuse. -- 'Scuse me!
Akane Tendo! Your stubby legs are slowing us down!
What?!
I won't let anyone insult Akane!
-- Let's overtake them, Ryoga! -- Right!
Hold it, hold it!
What's the idea?!
What you doing?!
Why you interfere with us?!
Hey, it wasn't me!
-- Unhand Akane! -- You've got spunk to fight me!
See ya later, alligator!
C'mon!!
You're so selfish!
Ranma doesn't care who he's with as long as he can get to Jusenkyo.
I should've teamed up with you from the start.
You're the best, after all.
You're the best partner for me. I know that now.
Flatterer--!
In a race like this...
...nothin' beats teaming up with a macho chick like you!
Sorry I'm so "macho"!!
You MORON, Ranma!
W-Wait, Akane!
Get away from me!
Who cares about Ranma?!
Let him be half-girl forever!
THE FOURTH OBSTACLE: Shifting Sand Bath
Dirty Akane--!
What luck!
Iron clogs. Lead sash.
Yukata made of chain mail--?
Akane!
Ranma!
You okay, Akane?!
Stay away! I just got a little bogged down by the sand!
Go and be Shampoo's partner!
Are ya still mad about that?! You're all I've got now!
Huh! I invited you first!
Why come now?!
You invited me?
-- Forget it! -- Akane! When'd you ask me?!
You don't remember?!
And now, the climax of the race! Zekkyo Sand Bath!
Don't follow me, I said!
I can't help it! I'm sinkin'!
It's your fault for steppin' in here without thinkin'--!
It stopped!
I'm sorry, Ranma. I slowed you down.
Go on before me!
Aw, forget it. You always mess up, anyway.
Maybe you want to team up, but I don't!
Get out of my sight!
Idiot!!
What did I do?!
I invited you first!
Want to go? It's free, anyhow. And if you win--
This is so dumb! I should never have come here!
All Ranma cares about is winning, anyway.
So?
Why do ya hafta get mad at me?
Are you crazy?! Why'd you come back?!
Sorry. I forgot you invited me.
You came just to tell me that?
You coulda been nicer about it. You're hopeless.
You came just to tell me that?
The prize is ours!
Rats! They're ahead! Akane!! This is no time to fight!
What're you doing?!
It's obvious! I'll throw you to safety...
...and I'll get out on my own--!
Ranma?!
Are you okay?
It's this chain-mail yukata!
That's it!
Hey!
Here goes!
We're okay now!
You...sure got spunk.
GOAL
Oh, no! They're coming!
Rats! Mousse and Shampoo will win!
We have to teach these kids that nothing comes easily!
Men, this is our last hope!
The finish line is running away!
Run for it!
Those cheaters!
Run, Mousse!
Come on, Akane!
-- Pour it on! -- Wait--!
This time for sure, I'll be normal again!
Congratulations, Ranma!
Akane, thanks! Thanks for everything!
Cross the finish line, and Jusenkyo, here we come!!
What're we doing in these bushes?!
We almost made it.
That rotten Ryoga!
Too bad, Ranma!
Akane, I'll look forward to seeing you the next time!
Ryoga was really happy, wasn't he?
There must've been a hot spring he really wanted to visit.
Meanwhile, as for the winning pair...
Where is Jusenkyo?
Didn't you want to come to Atami? Business is great here!
Atami... Tourish Destination Famous for its Hot Springs (But Nowhere Near Jusenkyo)
Where's Jusenkyo?!
