Ranma de Ranma ½

appearance

Ranma can be considered of "average" height compared to his friends of the same age, as most of them are also the same height, while Akane Tendo and several of the girls are slightly shorter than him. Tatewaki Kuno is taller. His female form is smaller (1.57) than his male form and half a head shorter than Akane. His female form has been shown more than once to have a larger bust size and a smaller hip size; He also has white skin and blue eyes. In his male form, he has white skin, black eyes and is considered by several women to be a handsome, physically fit and athletic man. Ranma's most notable physical feature is his long hair tied in a braid, although before the curse he wore it with a ponytail. In the anime, Ranma has black hair, while his female form wears deep red hair. To help distinguish Ranma's transformation in the manga, Rumiko Takahashi always drew Ranma's female form with a bright spot in his hair. However, in the first chapter of the manga, published in Shonen Sunday, which was printed in color, his female form featured the same hair style as his male form. Ranma prefers Chinese-style clothing in the form of long-sleeved, short-sleeved, or sleeveless shirts of various colors, black pants (also dark blue or teal in the anime), and slip-on shoes. This has served him well when switching to his cursed form or return. Ranma has his own Gi that he occasionally uses specifically to learn a new technique. He wore a Gakuran at the old school he attended with Ryoga Hibiki, but is able to get away with not wearing the boys' uniform at Furinkan School, although in the manga he does wear the uniform from time to time.

appearance

He also wears a sleeveless shirt, and when dressed "formally", he usually wears a Mao suit, which includes a hat with a star on the front. However, she also dressed in formal Western clothing on some occasions. Ranma has worn a wider variety of outfits in her female form than in his male form. He dresses in women's clothing voluntarily depending on the circumstances, usually to get something he wants, but also when necessary. Ranma as a woman, according to the curse dictates, is a girl considered very beautiful, while in his normal state as a man he is considered someone very attractive and handsome.

history

The only son of Genma and Nodoka Saotome, Ranma, was taken from his home by his father when he was approximately 2 years old to begin a 13-14 year training journey to hone his martial arts skills. Genma was only able to convince his wife to let them go, promising her that he would raise their son as a "Man among Men" under penalty of death for both of them. He signed a promise and had his son sign it by hand. However, Ranma remained unaware of his promise for years and knew nothing until his mother resurfaced in his life and Genma prevented them from meeting face to face due to his curse. When he was still a child, he befriended Ukyo Kuonji, the daughter of an okonomiyaki chef and traveling martial artist, although he did not know she was a girl. Genma betrothed Ranma to Ukyo in exchange for his father's food cart, but he abandoned Ukyo and fled with the cart without telling Ranma about the engagement or correcting him about Ukyo's real gender. Later, near the end of the trip , Genma took Ranma to a training camp in China called Jusenkyo that few people visited because the springs were cursed. Falling into them would transform a person into what he first drowned in when he fell there. Not knowing this, and not having enough patience to listen to a warning from the local guide, Genma attempted to train with Ranma on top of the bamboo poles protruding from the pools. When Ranma threw Genma into the drowned panda's spring, he was shocked. seeing a panda emerge from the pond and jump on one of the poles.

history

Genma, now cursed, was able to throw Ranma into the drowned girl's spring. Therefore, he turns into a female version of his original form when he is splashed with cold water, which is only (temporarily) reversible through contact with hot water. Immediately after this, Ranma and Genma, still in their cursed forms, were searching for food and found the Chinese Amazon Tribe and accidentally ate the first prize food, causing Shampoo to challenge Ranma to a fight. Before this incident, Genma had made an agreement with his best friend Soun Tendou for Ranma to marry one of the latter's daughters and continue to lead the Tendoo Dojo. After learning of Ranma's condition, Soun's daughters, Kasumi and Nabiki, began to insist that Ranma choose their younger sister, Akane, rationalizing that a tomboy like her would be a more appropriate fiancée for a man. who transforms into a woman. Although Akane and Ranma were initially unwilling to commit, and their relationship got off on the wrong foot after a certain incident, it did not take long for them to develop a close friendship, and after only a few months, they developed mutual feelings that they generally struggle to deny or avoid throughout the entire series. Ranma and Genma moved in as guests of the Tendo house. Since then, Ranma has endured a series of challenges from his various rivals, new adversaries, and had several suitors along the way. In his female form Ranma has also gained many suitors, among them the most remembered and insistent is Tatewaki Kuno. After receiving a letter from his wife, Genma revealed that he had promised that Ranma would return home as "a man among men", and that if he discovered the truth about Ranma's transformation into a woman, they would be forced to commit Seppuku.

history

Therefore, to visit his mother, Ranma voluntarily transforms into a girl and introduces himself as "Akane's cousin, her name is Ranko", accompanied by her pet, "Mr. Panda". Ranma made several attempts to talk to her mother without revealing her curse to prove her manhood, but on most occasions he was interrupted by Genma or other circumstances. However, he had enough of hiding from her and was able to save her on one occasion from falling into the sea, which proved her virility. Nodoka discovered that he and Ranko were the same person, but she accepted his curse

personality

Rumiko Takahashi herself has described Ranma's personality as a mixture of pleasant, blunt, energetic, indecisive, stubborn, demanding, petty and cunning, and has stated that she finds politically correct characters quite boring. Under normal circumstances, he is quite carefree and generally friendly to those around him. However, he also lacks experience in social situations and frequently speaks and acts without considering the consequences or the feelings of others. He sometimes insults people by gloating over inflated perceptions of his prowess, or by mocking his perceived flaws. He frequently insults areas that her fiancée has hang-ups about, calling her a tomboy, fat, unpretty, clumsy, and with poisonous cooking skills. For this same reason, it is also relatively easy to embarrass him. When faced with such a situation, he may freeze or verbally attack when he finds himself in highly incriminating 'love' positions. Nabiki has sometimes taken advantage of Ranma's lack of delicacy and weak defenses against tearful or emotional girls, manipulating him and various situations for her own benefit. While occasionally blaming others for her problems, Ranma has taken charge. sporadically about matters not primarily of her fault, such as when Akane's hair was accidentally cut during her first fight with Ryoga, or trying to calm Ukyo's anger at being abandoned. Ranma is someone who is extremely proud of his skill as a martial artist and occasionally brags about it. Although he often has the skills and credibility to back it up, his overconfidence can also lead to problems.

personality

Ranma tends to rely on direct tactics and planning, but is adept at learning from his mistakes in a fight and generally exploits an opponent's weaknesses during a subsequent encounter. First and foremost, Ranma is no coward: he never backs down from a challenge, even if his pride is hurt, or if he is completely at a disadvantage and isn't sure how to beat an opponent. Despite this, he will refuse a match if he considers the opponent too ridiculous, given that Ranma attempted to retreat when he set out to fight Sanae at The Famous Tea Ceremony. Ranma takes pride in his strength, abilities, and basically being a man, while in his female form he takes pride in his beauty, but still takes pride in him as a martial artist seriously. His pride often leads him to be unable to accept defeat, and he becomes preoccupied with trying to win every fight against an enemy. He also has a prominent petty side to him that comes out in these situations. If he is repeatedly defeated, humiliated, or feels trampled on, he takes it personally, shouting declarations of revenge or even going to the point of bursting into tears. He was willing to "fake" love for Akane to get rid of a battle-smart Dougi that increased his strength, also because he couldn't stand the thought of her being more skilled than him, and it was a serious annoyance, the suit literally getting in the way. them and Ranma obviously didn't like that. Ranma often uses insults, violence, or crazy schemes when dealing with those who annoy him, usually making the problem worse rather than solving it. But while his cunning generally lacks finesse, he also makes an effort to try to avoid conflict through the use of disguise, deception, and theatrics. At times, he has tried to use reasoning and diplomacy, to no avail. On several occasions,

personality

has stated that he considers it a duty for any martial artist to protect innocent people from monsters, supernatural threats, and the like, and has saved bystanders in danger. He has helped many of his friends and rivals at different times, even rescuing enemies, like Herb, who was trying to kill him. Ranma apparently has limited respect for suspicious or hateful authority figures, such as his father, his teacher Hinako Ninomiya, or Principal Kuno. He is quite irresponsible, and usually does not show much interest in academics. He often skips school, breaks rules when he attends, and avoids situations that do not involve martial arts or his personal interests. Other examples include making excuses to get rid of his various suitors and fighting tooth and nail against Hinako's attempts to give him private English lessons. His willingness to fight the principal seems to have earned him some respect from his classmates, but they have also expressed some contempt due to his shamelessness and strange condition. He also has little tolerance for people who try to steal from him, manipulate him, or treat him badly. very bad way, like Nabiki or Happosai. He generally considers Kuno, Shampoo, and Kodachi to be nuisance pests. At the same time, he can also be very forgiving and doesn't seem to get angry for long. For example, even though Herb severely tormented him out of pure malevolence, he chose to save his life. Another exception to this rule would be Happosai, whom he has stated that he really hates, and apparently considers a personal archenemy according to the Artbook's relationship table.

personality

One of Ranma's worst habits is that when he is preoccupied with his own thoughts or training with his father, he is usually unaware of his surroundings. The most notable consequence of his oversight is when he accidentally threw Ryoga into the drowned pig pond while chasing his father in the Jusenkyo springs. He has also accidentally hit Hinako repeatedly when arriving late for school. But his most frequent "landing strip" is Kuno, which seems to be intentional since they despise each other. Ranma has often professed his desire to reverse the curse on him. However, this has not stopped her from using his girl identity for his benefit. He has used his female form to hide his true identity from others, especially Ryoga and his mother, Nodoka. Other times he has used it to obtain favors from Kuno, or other situations in which being a woman would benefit him. In the anime, he loves Parfait ice cream, although he always eats it as a girl, because he considers it something embarrassing for men to consume. Ranma's way of referring to other people is informal, using a rude form of Japanese. He rarely uses "San", "Kun", "Chan" or any other traditional honorific. He uses "Sempai" for Kuno, but with some sarcasm. He usually uses honorifics with Soun, calling him "Ojisan" (uncle), with his childhood friend Ukyo "Ucchan", with the kind Kasumi, usually the honorific "San", and even "Ojiisan" and "Obaasan" for Happosai and Cologne when you're not mad at them. And although Akane usually uses honorifics for other people, she rarely addresses him with one. This is curious, since it denotes that the two are particularly intimate with each other.

relations

Shampoo, The next fiancée to show up was Shampoo, a Chinese Amazon, who went from trying to kill Ranma in his female form, courtesy of some very strict tribal laws, to considering him her fiancé after Ranma accidentally knocked her unconscious in his form. male to stop his attack on Akane. He temporarily drove her away using her curse to confuse her, but she soon returned, now doomed to become a cat with cold water, making her aware of her situation as a man doomed to become a woman. Shampoo takes the phrase "obstacle is to kill" as a personal philosophy, and occasionally made unsuccessful attempts to kill Akane, Ukyo, and even Nabiki and Hinako, to prevent them from getting close to Ranma. She doesn't seem indifferent to the idea of ​​trying to enslave Ranma through spells, such as magic pills, threads of fate, and other dirty tricks. When she gets angry at him, she takes advantage of Ranma's fear of cats and torments him with his cursed form. Even Shampoo at the end of the manga stopped Ranma from saving Akane. Ranma has openly stated that he views her as a pest, and has occasionally shown outrage at her cruel or outright ruthless moments.

ukyo

The third and final fiancée to appear was Ukyo Kuonji, a childhood friend of Ranma's. He did not know about the agreement Genma had made with her father and believed that Ukyo was male at first. Initially, she wanted revenge on her, thanks to Genma abandoning her and stealing her dowry, which led her to be considered a social outcast. During the ensuing fight, Ranma finally learned that she was a girl by accidentally grabbing her breasts and then pouring hot water on her to confirm that he did not have a Jusenkyo curse. Ukyo was still upset, and he offered to let her hit him as compensation, but became extremely reluctant when she took him up on the offer. Ranma told Ukyo that she was pretty, to give faith to her femininity but without any romantic feelings, she managed to get him to stop resenting him. When he formally introduced his fiancée Akane with whom he seemed not to get along very well, it was considered false because Deep down he does like Akane, Ukyo immediately forgave him and, to her surprise, she handed him an okonomiyaki with a heart to indicate the restoration of her friendship. Since then, she has treated his commitment very seriously and often has romantic visions of their future together, going so far as to manipulate him like he does Shampoo. She helped him regain his strength from Happosai's moxibustion (Ranma decided not to ask Akane for help for fear of physically hurting her), but she was willing to marry him, even if she remained weak for life. She also offered her restaurant as collateral to help him win against the King of the game and was willing to give up his job and his greatest passion to be a suitable wife for Ranma. However, although Ranma has shown great appreciation for Ukyo, he only sees her as her childhood friend.

ukyo

There are others who have tried to beat Ranma, both men and women, depending on the shape he was in at the time. Although Ranma does not reciprocate his feelings, that does not stop him from using them to get what he wants. Two of his most determined suitors are Tatewaki Kuno and his sister, Kodachi. In the story arc of "The Reversible Jewel" of the manga, it was learned that for Ranma, whose obsession is always to win, love is also a "battle." He believed that knowing someone loves you is "winning" grief. For this reason, he tries as a war to make Shampoo fall in love with him again and say "I love you" only for his personal honor, making him believe things that he really did not think or feel about her, being bewitched by Shampoo's grandmother, who He began to despise for no apparent reason. At the end of this arc in the manga, after Akane, under the effects of the spell of the inverted jewel, says "I love you" to Ranma, he is surprised by the effects of the spell and very interested in knowing if what Akane said to him was truth ignores Shampoo's confession of love after the sweetness of a bewitched Akane, Ranma reflected and understood that someone's love is not an award that is given to "win" or "lose." Without him realizing that Cologne had taken away Akane's jewel that had cast a spell on her, a moved and shy Ranm made Akane a romantic yet clumsy request after previously talking to her about feelings, telling her that from now on he wants to "Eat the food that "She cooks" (Note that Ranma is aware that Akane doesn't know how to cook and her food is horrible) since "even though she is tomboyish, she would surely like to diet for him."

ukyo

ane Akane returns to normal, interrupts him and hits hard through the roof of the Nekohanten, being sent to the hospital in a completely plastered body (in the OVA, Ryoga and Kuno were responsible for the beating because they came to the defense of their beloved Akane, in addition Of other changes that distorted the original manga story of this chapter, it focused on the trap that Cologne and Shampoo set for Ranma by manipulating his mind and self-esteem by forcing him to act and say things that he didn't really feel for Shampoo, taking advantage of his ego. . Ranma does not reciprocate the feelings of any girl other than Akane. He doesn't like hurting a woman's feelings, although in one chapter he made Akane cry, like Shampoo during the Onsen race, or Ukyo during the "secret sauce" arc, so his feelings for these two are divided between selfishness and consideration, given that he considers their sensitivity and vulnerability as they are women, as in the case of Kodachi who tried to make him her boyfriend at a certain moment and he refused, and when she cried, he explained to her that he had no intentions to make him feel bad but he cannot reciprocate because he is engaged to Akane. He is even happy if his suitors get interest from other boys like Ryoga and Ukyo as he misinterpreted his original intentions to split him and Akane up in the Tunnel of Lost Love. Ranma wants to get rid of the persecution of Shampoo, Ukyo and Kodachi, (although Akane and Ryoga have a really intimate friendship to the point of having gone out together at Akane's own will without her having to be persuaded) and, in general, to friendly bond he has with almost all the characters. Ukyo and Shampoo have hopes with Ranma since apparently he and Akane don't get along because they are always fighting, unaware that Ranma and Akane are secretly very much in love. Any evidence that Akane

ukyo

has shown real interest in another man, more specifically Ryoga or Shinnosuke, it has led to paranoia, depression, and even crazy plans. He is possessive and jealous when someone flirts with Akane, and is very vengeful of her, getting angry when someone hurts her, and is also very overprotective of her. Ranma can occasionally be somewhat romantic, but has a hard time expressing his feelings for Akane and vice versa. He gets very nervous when he is faced with romance, and with Akane he gets extremely nervous, to the point of freezing up or turning completely red when he accidentally confesses to her that he actually has her deepest feelings. Ranma has stated that he does not have enough guts to kiss Akane because the mistress finds it very difficult to do so out of embarrassment, although in the manga due to a confusion with Akane's actions of taking him in a room alone, he believed that she She asked him to kiss her and she was about to do it with determination, if it weren't for her mother Nodoka who found them. Even at the beginning of the series he praised her haircut, when they were alone on a bridge. The softer side of him began to emerge more in the second half of the series. On his way back to Nerima after the Yamata no Orochi arc, he took the initiative to hold Akane's hand because he felt that at any moment he could lose her because of her selfishness and willingness to tell him what she feels. Ranma was also relieved after accidentally proclaiming his true feelings towards her during the Dougi Battle Arc and held her in his lap at the end of it. He was embarrassed by the much more sensual advances of a possessed Akane, but hesitantly accepted them. Such moments have usually been interrupted by family members or other situations, leaving the pair embarrassed.

curses

Within the series you can see these curses that benefit Ranma, making him much more powerful when it comes to defeating his opponents. NekokenAlthough Ranma is generally seen as someone who is not afraid of anything or anyone, he does possess a weak point. A constant fear of cats (Ailurophobia) since when exposed to one or surrounded by many cats, he begins to shake uncontrollably and is eventually paralyzed by terror, usually after desperately screaming for the cat to be removed from his sight. When exposure to a cat is prolonged, Ranma develops an episode of extreme psychosis in which his mind retreats into a state of galeántrophy in which he believes that he is a Cat and actually begins to behave like one. His mentality as a cat is territorial, playful, sleepy, and he has an extremely limited attention span, easily losing interest or being distracted by a thrown stick/toy or being drugged with cat litter. Ranma exits the Nekoken after calming down or taking a nap on the lap of someone he trusts. That included an old woman he knew when he was a child, and Akane, who was embarrassed the first time Ranma showed himself in that state because Ranma snuggled into his lap and went so far as to kiss him. Wetting it with water can also work. Ranma does not remember anything when he comes out of that state, which can cause major problems if his behavior was unacceptable according to humans. Dragon Mustache Very shortly before the start of the plot, Ranma (in his female form) ate a bowl of rice cooked with a dragon mustache, which turns out to be a super-fast hair grower that only affects men. If the hair is left to grow for too long, the affected person ends up bald. It is only contained if the hair is tied with a dragon mustache, the curse is temporary, and ends when the effect of the dragon mustache wears off.

rivals

• Ryoga Habiki is Ranma's main rival in martial arts, and the only one he has openly said he considers to be an equal. If shorter battles are included, he has defeated Ranma approximately twice as many times as the other way around, despite being almost entirely self-taught and occasionally within seconds when he is sufficiently annoyed. He has a non-existent sense of direction, and holds a grudge against Ranma for condemning him to the Jusenkyo curse, which makes the clueless young man even more vulnerable to the dangers of the world. Their rivalry varies between overcoming general annoyances with each other, and, most importantly, fighting for Akane's affections. Ranma frequently disguises himself to trick Ryoga, when he needs something, wants to make fun of him, or Ryoga somehow tries to get too close to Akane despite his extreme prudish shyness. This continued until almost the end of the series, when Ryoga managed to a girl of my own Although they constantly fight or joke, Ranma eventually considers Ryoga a friend and helps him on several occasions, most notably hiding his curse from Akane, who keeps his pig form as a pet. In addition to at least three times playing a crucial part in preventing Akane from being killed, Ryoga has also repeatedly risked himself to help or save Ranma's life during serious conflicts, including rescuing him from drowning even in his cursed form, having done so. done even more times than Ranma did to him. As time went on in the series, their rivalry became primarily friendly; since the two can speak in a civilized conversation and will help each other if necessary, although they still compete frantically if a problem arises.

Mousse is angry at Ranma for keeping Shampoo away from him, even though she has found him severely annoying since they were children, even to the point of saying she hates him. As Shampoo only likes extremely strong men, Mousse attempts to prove her worth by beating up her stated boyfriend, but she has been keen to sabotage her prospects if she suspects he may succeed. In three of her fights with Ranma she has come very close to prevailing, despite the disadvantages in each of them. Apparently, he is more interested in beating Shampoo than defeating Ranma and was excited by the idea of ​​a wedding between the latter and Akane.

rivals

tatewaki kuno, is Ranma's rival at school and, conversely, his suitor for his female counterpart, whom he knows as the "braided girl." He is the only student at Furinkan High School who does not know that Ranma can transform into a girl, disgusting Ranma with his repeated attempts at intimacy. When Nabiki told him that the braided girl belongs to Ranma, body and soul, he came to the conclusion that Ranma had enslaved her, but after this incident the rivalry returned to its previous level.

happosai, is the founder and perverted grandmaster of the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts as well as the teacher of Genma and Soun, who because of his abuse locked him in a cave from which after years he finally managed to escape, only to decide as a way of compensation that his two disciples are in charge of taking care of him, both request that he train Ranma since this is the successor of the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts, a request that the old man accepts, from the beginning Ranma gained a repudiation of his new teacher. Ranma is mainly interested in stealing food or women's underwear, peeping or being a general nuisance as well as trying to force him to model underwear in his girl form for him, but Ranma has always refused his requests. Despite all this, Ranma has recognized Happosai's power and abilities and feels respect for the old man because of it, but this feeling is usually short-lived due to the master's lust, leading the two to frequently have hostile and violent confrontations. which end with the Tendo house damaged and Ranma flying through the air, on one occasion Happosai was willing to leave Ranma weak for life, when the latter displeased him enough. He is technically too dangerous to be considered a rival, rather than an irritating antagonist.

rivals

Kodachi Kuno, a master of Rhythmic Martial Arts Gymnastics, is Tatewaki's eccentric, exhibitionist, and aristocratic sister. She has seen Ranma as her chivalrous man ever since he rescued her from a fall from the roof of the Tendo Dojo. She regularly tries to paralyze him so she can do whatever she wants with him. She has declared that she desires him as a servant fervently in love. Like her brother, she is oblivious to Ranma's curse and views his female half as a rival for the male half's affections. Kodachi and her brother share a strong sibling rivalry, partly because they are in love with each other's hated being.

rivals

taro pantyhose. He is one of Ranma's few almost completely evil recurring adversaries. Ranma always helped him change his name and saved his life, but despite this, Taro is willing to betray and kill him without a second thought, and does not completely regret his behavior, no matter how charitably so. others treat it. Instead of training to improve, his focus seems to lie on finding shortcuts to improving his powerful monster form. He has even harbored plans to one day take over the world, but apparently has no idea how. However, on certain occasions they have teamed up to fight, such as when Rouge got out of control. Furthermore, Ranma was able to understand his annoyance at Master Happosai for giving him an unpleasant name, allowing him to take him away. Ranma has had other rivals throughout the series, although most of them only appeared in a single arc, such as Mariko Konjo, Ryu Kumon, Herb, and Saffron. They all tried to kill and/or torment Ranma for various reasons. In the first case for love, in the second for ambition, and in the last two for petty pride, sadistic revenge and conflicting interests. But unlike his main enemies, none of them have apparently had the motivation to maintain their rivalry.

physical skills

Trained from the time he was approximately 2 years old, when he began his training journey with his father with Saotome Freestyle Combat, Ranma is a master of several styles of martial arts, using a mix of Chinese and Japanese techniques. The other branch, the Tendo School, is practiced by Soun and Akane. Ranma is seen as the main heir of the school. A Free Combat School practitioner is expected to be prepared to do almost anything to succeed, regardless of the challenges, humiliations, or traps involved. This versatile combat style can produce a warrior who is strong in virtually all aspects of battle, both mentally and physically, with limited weaknesses. His training has made him a very balanced fighter, although he can still be surprised by opponents he has never fought. His impressive physical abilities include incredible strength and exceptional speed. He also has superhuman stamina, allowing him to continue fighting even after receiving many powerful blows or falling from a great height.

physical skills

Speed: He has been able to land 518 punches during a brief ice skating match against Mikado Sanzenin, even before Cologne's speed training. Afterwards, he was able to land hundreds of blows on Ryoga so quickly that it seemed like a single punch, or catch over a hundred pebbles from the Bakusai Tenketsu rock explosion in a few seconds. He can therefore move at supersonic speeds, but generally only uses it in combat situations. Resistance: It is resistant enough to withstand a blow at high speed (more or less 50 km/h) against a wall (the blow was received from behind, allowing Akane to escape unharmed) in her fight against Mikado, or the power of Ryu Kumon's large iron Buddha statue, and immediately continuing to fight afterwards, managed to withstand exposure to the firestorms of Rouge and Saffron, and has fallen hundreds of meters into solid stone with only minor bruises. As for his limits, when he was in a state of surprise, a single attack from Taro on his cursed form nearly knocked out his female form after crashing into a stone palisade. Although later, during his aerial battle against Rouge, he was only momentarily stunned. Ryoga's regular Shi-shi Hokodan (a technique created to clear cave-ins, or to help blow up tunnels through the earth) can knock him out in a single hit, or require a few to several shots, depending on the latter's approach. . This version even managed to stun Ranma for a few seconds when Ryoga turned into a little boy.

physical abilities

Strength: Ranma's physical power seems to depend on how angry or motivated he is, he is usually inconsistent, as at times he is easily knocked down and overtaken, and at other times he has demonstrated the power of his strength, such as when he almost effortlessly pushed a rock. of about 40 tons into the mouth of the Yamata no Orochi while swimming underwater when he was determined to save Akane from being devoured. Given his ability to contend with Ryoga, who he claims could exert force equivalent to lifting a few dozen tons under optimal circumstances, he must be at least a quarter as strong as himself, possibly even half as strong. Although comparatively weaker, Ranma appears to have superior conscious control of his abilities, and can mark him more easily during basic social interactions, while Ryoga occasionally breaks everything he touches. He generally honors the pride of his opponents by fighting seriously, and refuses to give up both himself and his belief that a hollow victory will never be as satisfying as in a battle between honorable men. As a demonstration of her strength in her female form, a few minutes of focusing her energies are enough to break a 3m diameter rock with a single blow, while her male form manages to immediately break a common 2m diameter rock to 2.5 Although he has never been seen to use them outside of the original setting, he is usually able to win any competition involving martial arts, but frequently has to use unorthodox methods against superior enemies. Despite everything, his confidence and his reluctance to accept defeat have thus far allowed her to somehow handle most of the challenges in his path.

special techniques

Kachū Tenshin Amaguriken, It was one of the first techniques Cologne taught Ranma. This technique got its name from the way it is taught. Ranma had to remove the chestnuts from the fire quickly enough to not burn his hands. Once he mastered this, he was able to deliver very fast punches with ease. Hiryū Shōten Ha, Cologne taught it to Ranma when he was weakened due to Happosai's moxibustion technique. The Technique is performed by allowing the opponent to have a hot battle aura, while Ranma's aura remains cold. Ranma then directs the opponent in a spiral path and executes a strike. The resulting collision of heat and cold plus the spiral creates a tornado. Mōko Takabisha, It is the technique that Ranma creates on his own to counteract Ryoga's Shi Shi Hokodan or Lion's Roar. Unlike Ryoga's technique developed by depression, Ranma's version is fueled by his self-esteem. Nekoken is the result of Genma's callous training when Ranma was a child. Ranma has an extreme fear of cats (Ailurophobia). If he is around a cat long enough, he begins to act like one as a way of coping. Ranma is very powerful in this state and is able to crush objects with his bare hands, Hiryu Korin Dan When Herb proves to be too powerful for the Hiryū Shōten Ha, Ranma uses the technique by allowing the tornado to rise and then fire a blast of Powerful reach of energy through the center. This technique is called Hiryū Korin Dan. Umi-senken and Yama-senken Genma agrees to teach Ranma the deadly Umi-senken attack he created. It is all about stealth and is actually a technique developed to help thieves steal things without being detected.

his relationship with akane

Akane and Ranma were engaged, they loved each other, but for x reasons they broke up, so now they are both single, although they remained friends
