hi ppl!!!

[ZeroFactor]

I watched some Ranma 1/2 eps and decided I should post in here, hehe, the series is pretty funny

[Asuza_chan]

Hey ZeroFactor! Glad you liked Ranma ^_^

[GEKIGANGER 3]

yeah it is good, but it gets harder and harder for me to see it cause i can only watch it before school in this 1 computer lab but usually now there is a clase in there.


o yeah it is also funny.

[Yuusuke]

Yup, 's a great series, hope 'ya can see lots more, ZeroFactor ^^;

[Ko Hakaisha]

Yeah!! ^^ Have fun with Ranma!!

[])r/-\g()n]

Yeah the series is great, it doesn't really have a plot in all but it's a hilarious anime

[ZeroFactor]

yea, the two eps i saw where a x-mas one and something about a stone that reverses your feelings about someone, hehe

[Ko Hakaisha]

What was that last one?? O.o

[ZeroFactor]

desperatly seeking shampoo, i believe that's what the episode was called

[Yuusuke]

Oooh, those. . ^^;;

Well, if 'ya can't get ahold of the first episodes in the series, then the Desperately Seeking Shampoo OAV is probably the next best thing. . ^_^

Th' Christmas-Special has cameos from. . tons'a people in the series, an' th' Reversel-Jewel episode . . 'erm. . *koffcoff* . . shows how each character feels about th' other from a single episode. . ^^

[Ko Hakaisha]

From a single episode?

[Yuusuke]

Well. . it shows how Mousse likes Shampoo. . and Shampoo's feelings for Ranma. . Akane's hidden feelings for Ranma. . Ukyou's feelings for Ranma. . Ryouga's feelings for Akane. . Kunou's feelings for Akane. . *blinkblink* An' tha's all that I can be bothered 'ta remember right now. . ^_^

[Ko Hakaisha]

Hm. Anythin' like Shampoo's feelings for Mousse, or Ranma's true feelings?

[bbc0]

congrats for making a useless thread and giving me an extra post for saying that

[Yuusuke]

Well. . Shampoo doesn't hate Mousse. . ^_^;;

She just kind'a. . doesn't feel for him either way, according to how the jewel worked. .

[Ko Hakaisha]

Hm. Interesting. Did it say anything about Ranma's feelings?

[Yuusuke]

Well, showed that Ranma did care about Shampoo. . or was just mad at her for rejecting him. . *blinkblink* 'Erm. . I haven't seen it in quite awhile. . gonn'a haft'a re-rent it sometime soon. . So, can't remember. . >.<

[Ko Hakaisha]

Hm. That bites ... ...

You don't OWN it!? O.o That's ... shocking.

[Yuusuke]

Well, of the Ranma tapes I've seen. . I own half, and the other half I've borrowed from a friend. . ^_^;;

I chose not to buy the DSS OAV because I'd seen it enough. . and it was that, or the Bakusai Tenketsu tape, at the time. . ^^;

[Ko Hakaisha]

Hm. I gotcha there. ^^ I think I would've bought Bakusai Tenketsu, too. ^^

[Yuusuke]

Hehh, glad 'ta hear. . an' especially since I'd yet to read how it went in the manga at th' time. . just knew what I knew from online sites and some flashbacks in later episodes. . ^^;;

[Ko Hakaisha]

Quite violent, really. Yet insanely funny. ^^

"What are you talking about!? I was completely focused that time!!" ~ Ryouga Hibiki. Then, of course, he realized he wrote out "Akane" on the rock. ^^

[Yuusuke]

Hnn. . y'know. . I rather liked th' really-cool-Ryouga-music they played when he finally mastered th' technique ^^;; Right before his "Heh. I've got you now, Ranma" . .

[Ko Hakaisha]

Yes, very fitting. ^^ Of course, Ryouga blew the entire "Fight Ranma" scene when he thought he could smash him to bits by touching him. ^^

[Yuusuke]

Yeah. . *sigh* Ryouga would'a won that fight if Cologne had told him at the start that his Bakusai Tenketsu didn't work on people. . (o_O);;

Well, my opinion, at least. . .

[Ko Hakaisha]

I doubt it. Ranma would've spent less time dodging the finger and the ending would've been the same. Ranma and Ryouga are quite equal warriors.

[Yuusuke]

Well, indeed they're equal, but each time that Ryouga could have punched Ranma. . kicked Ranma. . did any sort of attack, he merely tried using his Bakusai Tenketsu, and Ranma had been anticipating that each time, so knew where the attack would come from and when to dodge. ^^;; *sigh* Oh well. . . at least I can take joy knowin' that Ryouga wins at least once. .

[Ko Hakaisha]

Yes, but Ranma's faster. Ryouga's normal punchs, kicks, etc. can't touch him. Ryouga's too strong for Ranma. Ranma can hit Ryouga all he wants, but it's like punching a wall. What's the point?? The two are deadlocked. ^^

[Yuusuke]

Yeah. . but it's really Genma's fault that Ranma was as fast as he was in the fight. If Genma hadn't been spying on Ryouga and Cologne, Ranma wouldn't have known what technique Ryouga was learning. . and wouldn't have been training against the bees. . ^^;;
*sigh* Well, guess they'll be deadlocked 'till th' Shishi Houkodan story. . and Mark of the Battle God. . *griiin* ^^;

[Ko Hakaisha]

doesn't Ranma learn a ki blast later, though. O.o

[Yuusuke]

Yeah, but Ranma's ki-blast is basically. . "Steal Ryouga's ki attack and then change it a bit because you can't use it the same way Ryouga can" . . ^_^;

[Ko Hakaisha]

How'd that work out??

[Yuusuke]

Well, Ryouga's Shishi Houkodan draws from the user's depression.

Basically. . the move seems made for Ryouga ^_^;;

But. . Ranma trying to do the move. . well, Ranma bein' th' super-confident guy he is. . can barely pull the move off, and usually can't.

So. . Ranma revises the move to draw on the power of his confidence.

Unfortunately, though. . Ranma's confidence is just about equal to Ryouga's depression, thus the blasts cancel each other out when used. . making Ryouga more depressed. . so his ki attacks then grow stronger, and Ranma loses confidence, seeing how much stronger Ryouga's attacks are getting. . ^^;;

If that made sense. .

[Ko Hakaisha]

Hehe. ^^ That bites for Ranma ... But then he can just use "Heaven Wind of the Dragon" on him ... [grin]

[Yuusuke]

He can't. . ^_^

Ryouga doesn't really need to move to attack Ranma, just extend his arms. . . and, well. . if that doesn't work. . Ryouga's Shin Shishi Houkodan 's lots better. . ^^

[Ko Hakaisha]

Well, even Ryouga, with his supreme endurance, will get tired. If Ranma can manage to dodge every blast from Ryouga, then Ryouga, naturally enraged, would attack Ranma by fist, thus allowing Ranma to pull the move on him. ^^

[Yuusuke]

Ranma couldn't dodge, though. . the more Ryouga's depression built up, the larger his blast radius, making it harder for Ranma to avoid the blast, unless far enough away.

And with Ryouga's perfect Shishi Houkodan. . even attacking behind Ryouga, Ranma will still be caught in the attack. . ^_^

[Ko Hakaisha]

What about this ... :

Ranma and Ryouga attack. Their attacks cancel out. Ranma weakens, and Ryouga strengthens. They attack again. This continues. Soon, Ryouga is confident and Ranma is depressed. Then Ryouga loses strength. Ranma notices this and then starts gaining. Then they are equalled out again, and the whole thing starts over! ^^

[Yuusuke]

Yeah, but there was a week before their official fight. . during that time, Ryouga did all he could to cause himself pain and get himself depressed. . went 'ta HFIL, basically. . **;;

Ranma tried the same thing, but it didn't work, so he switched his attack. . ^^;;

Either way. . at th' time of the fight. . even winning, Ryouga would still stay depressed, he'd probably get more depressed, figuring that somehow something would happen and Ranma would win still. . ^^

[])r/-\g()n]

Well, what I don't get is that in The second movie of Ranma, he uses a ki blast to destroy the Spring to prevent Akane from getting cursed, why can't he use that attack

[Maccy99]

:eek: Pleeeeease tell me what episode that is? :(

[Ko Hakaisha]

In the movie, Ranma uses that confidence ki attack. Ryouga thinks of Akane getting hurt'n stuff, so he uses the ki blast to save Ukyou.

What do you mean, what episode??

[Maccy99]

What episode do they learn the Shi shi Hokoudan.

[Ko Hakaisha]

Some time in the fifth season, I believe. I haven't gotten there yet, so all I know is that they each used it in the second movie. ^^

[Yuusuke]

Yup. . still waitin' for Viz to release those episodes here. . ;_;

I _really_ want'a see th' Shishi Houkodan and Mouko Takabishi in anime form. . 'specially after some'a th' screen-caps I was able to find. . ^^;

[Ko Hakaisha]

Haven't you seen the movies, though? O.o

An' the Mouko Takabishi was Ranma's form of the attack, right?

[Maccy99]

I saw the movies but they only did the Ki attack for a very short time. When I saw them do the attacks in the movies I was shocked. I didn't know they had those attacks.

[Ko Hakaisha]

Well, yeah. ^^ Hopefully those episodes should be released soon ...

Yuusuke, you ever seen it? The movies, I mean?

[Yuusuke]

Yeah, I own th' movies ^_^;;

I meant. . th' episodes in which Ryouga learns Shishi Houkodan. . . y'know, since if it follows the manga closely, then both Ranma and Ryouga will be usin' that move a _lot_ ^^
