5.5: Very embarrassed and shy when she next meets Ranma and feels hurt when he tells her he can’t remember, since she thinks that means he’d have kissed anybody and it was a very special thing to her.

5.8: Believes in Ranma during the fight with Mousse.

5.11: Enthusiastic but clumsy when trying to catch goldfish at a fair. Complains when the vendor replaces them with piranha to circumvent Ranma’s success.

7.5: Tries to be nice and help a weird old stranger (Happosai) when he begins to cry.

7.7: Throws a bucket at Ranma when he calls her body uninteresting in the bathhouse. Prepared for Happosai by wearing a swimsuit. Says that sometimes a guy has to manage on his own when Ranma is accidentally stuck as a naked male in the women’s bath. Lures Happosai by lying that she’ll take her swimsuit off, to help Ranma when he’s not getting anywhere.

7.8: Happy to get a packet of pineapples sent to her by Ryoga. Very happy to see P-chan. Throws Ranma out when he apparently barges into her room and tells her that she’s not attractive in underwear. Calls Ranma a jerk when he/she tries to explain.

7.11: Wears gas mask and brings a teapot to help Ranma against Happosai. Bonks Ranma when he says her patch looks made by a third grader. Slaps Ranma when he/she shows her one of Happosai’s pictures of her. Again thinks her father is pitiful for only staying to fight because the armour was too heavy to move.

8.1: Angered after Ranma first abandons her to fight the dojo destroyer on her own and then implies that her only asset is brute strength. Punts him/her uninjured into the air. Saddened, but determined to manage on her own.

8.2: Tries to assure Ranma that he doesn’t need to worry by showing her prowess. Destroys stonewall with a single strike, but damages her hand. Hand treated by Tofu, but is shocked when she sees Ranma apparently cuddling with Shampoo and reflexively tries to assure herself of her prowess through striking the air, accidentally hits the dojo destroyer instead and breaks the hand. Punts Ranma & Shampoo when they’re curious. She nonetheless doesn’t back out of the fight.

8.3: Fights valiantly despite her handicap, but is eventually overcome. Touched when Ranma arrives in at the last instant and accidentally (driving blindly after frenzied by Shampoo-cat) puts his/her head in front of the final attack. Annoyed when he/she takes the opportunity to insult her ability.

8.4: Realises that Ranma has to avoid hitting DD’s vital spots, but the warning comes too late. Stunned and dazed when Shampoo claims that she and Ranma were kissing during the date. Calmly asks Ranma if he kissed her and isn’t upset when she interprets his denial as that Shampoo kissed him, but when he rejects this as well she misunderstands it as a confirmation of the former. Depressed when Shampoo fills in more false details in ‘confirmation’. Apologises when Ranma feigns being hurt by her accusations, after coming to her aid and pretends to destroy the last packet. Trembles and cries in shame, while begging forgiveness and asking how she can make it up to him. Gladly agrees to his demands of all her lunches for a month, doing his homework, becoming more feminine, and tone her ’over-muscled’ body. When she finds out, she first thanks him for the help and then slaps him on the cheek for being a liar. Worried that Ranma will catch a cold by sitting in the pond enjoying his ‘cure’.

8.5: Annoyed when asked to take part in a theatrical production, since she assumes it’s yet another male or brutish role, and suggests Ranma instead. Swiftly changes her mind and becomes enthusiastic when it turns out to be Juliet. Punts Ranma when he overhears her overjoyed monologue and teases her about it. Upset when he ruins her chance by accepting a free-for-all onstage battle with Kuno & Happosai.

8.6: Wonders what’s keeping Ranma, since she doesn’t want to lay against Kuno, Happosai or Gosunkugi. Unnerved by the latter’s ridiculous female disguise. Touched when Ranma appears dedicated to their upcoming performance, but the punts him when it turns out that he hasn’t even bothered to learn what it’s about. Happy when he shows up as Romeo onstage, but is upset when he still hasn’t rehearsed any lines. Embarrassed when the scene demands that they kiss, but is upset when Ranma says that no matter if it is a play he’d never kiss Akane.

8.7: Annoyed that she may have to kiss Kuno or Happosai. Attempts to force herself to kiss Kuno, but can’t. Captured by Happosai, but replaced by Ranma at unknown instant and left tied up offstage. Defends Ranma against Kuno, when she’s unconscious and about to be kissed. Shocked when female Ranma kisses Kuno instead. Feels hurt/betrayed and slaps Ranma.

8.8: Doesn’t believe Ranma when he tells her that he used tape to cover Kuno’s mouth. Chloroformed by Gosunkugi. Overhears him saying that if he didn’t care it wouldn’t be so hard to kiss her. Asks him if he can’t just pretend and gives him a kiss, but with tape. She’s feeling cheerful afterwards and teases him a bit.

8.9: Happy when Ryoga brings her a gift. Organises her female classmates against Happosai.

8.10: Immediately sees through Ranma’s female disguise and asks her what she thinks she’s doing. When Ranma doesn’t answer and appears to peek on her classmates’ legs, she calls Ranma a pervert and punts her away. Turns Ranma back to normal and gathers her friends to see him in a girl’s leotard. Thinks he’s collaborating with Happosai after she finds both of them immersed in the latter’s panty collection.

8.11: Gives Ranma a bundle of female underwear to ‘satisfy his sick obsession’ and sadly asks him to seek help, since she ‘thought only his body was sick and twisted’, then says farewell and runs away crying. Initially doesn’t believe his far-fetched Nannichuan explanation until his banter with Ryoga confirms it. Thinks Ryoga brought the map for Ranma’s sake.

9.1: Happy about her finished cookies. Tells Ranma to stop insulting her until after he’s tried them. Tried to give them cute shapes, but when he makes horrible guesses about their intended shapes, she gets upset and tells him to suppress his ‘so-called wit’. Saddened when Kodachi steals her batch, but is happy when Ranma brings it back. Annoyed with Happosai when he’s brought to tears after eating them all. Attempts to improve by learning from Kasumi.

9.3: Attempts to find out what hold Kodachi has on Ranma through her photographs. Upset when she sees the doctored image of Kodachi and Ranma kissing, and doesn’t believe Ranma’s explanation.

9.4: Caught in the jaws of a trap while upset. When Ranma won’t help her unless she apologises and then insults her she tries harder on her own but receives and electric shock and is struck unconscious. When she wakes up she’s still in an unreasonable mood and gets upset when she sees Ranma apparently stuffing his face without caring about her dilemma. After he insults her by saying that Kodachi’s food is much better than her own she breaks free and whacks him (As usual he’s completely uninjured). Begins to go home after Ranma comments that she’s jealous beyond the point of being cute, but changes her mind, listens in and finds out that Kodachi tricked her. Saves an unconscious Ranma from being molested by Kodachi. Happy when he offers to taste the cookies she baked for him, but is disappointed when it turns out that they’re inedible again.

9.6: Considers selling Genma to a circus when he pretends to be a panda rather than tell her about Ukyo.

9.7: Jealous when Ranma repeatedly calls Ukyo cute, and is hurt (but agrees) when he calls her uncute and a tomboy in comparison.

9.8: Thanks Ryoga about standing up for her and apologises that he got hurt. Upset when female Ranma holds his hand to imply a romantic moment just to be a jerk and kick Ryoga where it hurts.

9.9: Hits Ranma after Ukyo says that Ranma couldn’t possibly love someone like her and he confirms it through an insult. She prepares for duel with Ukyo, and states that she lives for fights like these, but learns that Ukyo’s just trying to set her up with Ryoga. She thinks he’s simply caught up in Ukyo’s scheme.

9.10: Unconvinced by Ranma’s disguise. Feels sorry for Ryoga and wonders why Ranma is tormenting him by playing with his feelings and beating him up while he isn’t defending himself, then changes Ranma back and punts him after she/he calls Akane ‘easy and insane’. Decides to ‘date’ Ryoga after all.

9.11: Very friendly towards Ryoga, but somewhat weirded out by his strange behaviour. Upset when Ranma takes Ukyo to a date. Thinks Ranma is a jerk for playing around with Ryoga’s feelings.

10.2: Angered when Ranma plays around with her feeling by pretending that he’s swallowed a love-inducing pill. Extremely worried when he actually does so and temporarily imprints on Cologne. Defends Ranma from being enslaved by Shampoo.

10.3: Swallows the permanent pill, but is told and keeps thinking it’s the 1-day only version. Whacks Ranma with a table after he/she plays with her feelings by telling her to ‘settle for him’. (As almost always Ranma is completely unhurt in the next panel) Happy and playing unconcerned when it seems like Ranma is jealous. Begins to cough up water and cry after Ranma pushes her into the water and forcefully holds her head under the surface, not to see Happosai and accidentally cough up the pill. Slaps Ranma since he inexplicably nearly drowned her.

10.4: Very happy about winning a piggie at a lottery. Saves Kasumi from being skewered by an attack from Mousse.

10.6: Very angry at Mousse from kidnapping and putting her in danger of becoming a duck. Assists Ranma against Mousse.

10.7-8: Shows compassion towards Mousse and tells Ranma to let him win a fight.

10.9: Thinks Ranma tends to not give a second thought to all the people he’s ripped off, jilted or sponged off from.

10.11: Tries to console a saddened Tsubasa, since she doesn’t want to see ‘her’ get hurt.

11.1: Wants to see Ryoga’s puppies.

11.3: Unconvinced by Ranma’s Yoiko disguise and the ‘way too stupid’ situation.

11.5: Resolved to take care of a peeping tom (Happosai) while visiting a hot spring. Very briefly misunderstands when she sees Ranma, but is ashamed after she hears him out

11.6: Helps Ranma trap Happosai. She mentions to Ranma, Soun & Genma that it’s stupid to take help from Happosai in learning the Happo Fire Burst technique, since he’ll use it against them instead. Discourages her father from killing Happosai. Worried about her father after Happosai beats him up.

11.7: Turns nervous after Kasumi & Nabiki almost seem to expect Ranma to molest her while alone in the house, and then seeing a movie with the same theme. Terrified about being raped after Ranma suddenly turns up repeatedly hugging her (Shampoo’s control mushroom).

11.8: Initially doesn’t believe Ranma’s far-fetched explanation. Clad in samurai attire. Uses wooden swords, arrows, a frying pans, a bat and a mallet to hold him off. Believes him after finding Shampoo in the bath. Apparently stronger than Kuno, as a full-force hug almost breaks his spine. Tries to apologise to Ranma, but ends up reflexively repeatedly striking him anyway. Teams up to keep all intruders away, but is still a bit nervous.

11.9: Upset over always losing to Shampoo and that Ranma won’t help her train to get better. Incredibly happy after she turns super-strong. Wants reckoning against Shampoo.

11.10: Determined to never give up in fight or lose the advantage against Shampoo. Doesn’t believe Ranma when he tells her that she’ll grow whiskers. Runs away crying when she does. Touched when Ranma appears to care for her well being (he’s really just jealous). Humiliated when Ranma takes revenge by repeatedly beating her at arm-wrestling.

12.1: Frees herself from being held hostage by the principal, then attacks him in anger.

12.4: Shows compassion towards Kuno and doesn’t want to forcibly shave his head, despite that he’s a pest.

12.5: Saves Ranma from getting his head shaved. Strikes Kuno with a mallet from behind to save a tied up Ranma caught in-between his fight with the principal.

12.8: Happy to see Ryoga, but perplexed by his flustered behaviour. A bit annoyed with Ranma when seeing him cuddled by a naked Shampoo in a public bath.

12.9: Confused when Ryoga is happy that she asked him out, but realises that Shampoo must have arranged the date. Tricked into believing that wants her together with Ryoga to hook up with Shampoo instead. Decides to try to have fun on the date, but is bemused by Ryoga’s confused behaviour. Figures out that Ranma set up the date to steal the soap.

12:10: Hurt when it seems like Ranma cares more about the soap than herself.

12:11: Tells Ranma to grow up when he’s/she’s trying another ‘Ryoga’s girlfriend’ disguise. Terrified of Ryoga’s casual power when he’s turned unafraid and passionate. Feels sorry for Ryoga getting the wrong idea due to Shampoo’s scheming. Repeatedly hits as hard as she can with hard objects, while apologising profusely, but is unable to bother him. Decides that whoever becomes Ryoga’s girlfriend has to be made of sterner stuff than her.

13.1: Disappointed in Ranma getting beaten by Kuno. Very worried about him when told that he’s become weak for life.

13.2: Furious at Happosai for turning Ranma weak. Tries to force him to undo it. Ties Ranma up and hides him to keep him safe in while she researches for a cure. Happy to find the location, but feels insulted when Ranma says that he only cares about getting strong, not about Akane and the dojo.

13.3: Shocked at Happosai’s unfairness. Worried about Ranma. Tries to snap Ranma out of his depression. Annoyed when he rejects her compassion. Tells her family that Ranma would never run away after being beaten. Sad and worried that he left without a word.

13.4: Tracks Ranma down in wilderness to help out. Happy that everyone looks well. Decides to help with the cooking so he’ll get energy for the training, but feels sad after the Saotomes joke about it being lethal.

13.5: Helps Ranma learn the Heaven Blast technique. Amused at Ranma’s baby photo of wetting his bed. Embarrassed by a present day nude photograph. Cologne says that Akane shouldn’t help with further training since she can’t strike at Ranma without holding back.

13.6: Tries to help Ranma through the heat of burning asbestos gloves. Very hurt and runs away when he tells her that she’s an idiot who always butts in where she isn’t wanted, since she feels inferior to the powerful Ryoga and great chef Ukyo.

13.7: Terrified that Ryoga will kill Ranma.

13.8: Unconcerned about the sad, beaten Ranma on the ground, since he had just been a jerk.

13.9: Cheers for Ranma against Happosai. Decides to lighten up his mood when sulking.

13.10: Risks her life to save the moxibustion chart that can restore Ranma’s strength.

14.1: Offers to follow the weak and broken Ranma on his training travels to carry his bags. Says that he doesn’t have to be strong. Happy when he gets back to normal, then annoyed by his overabounding arrogance.

14.2: Thinks Ranma is pathetic for being scared into accepting a gift from Shampoo.

14.3: Worried about Ranma when he’s hounded by a monster cat. Tricked and worried by Shampoo’s faked tears. Tells her that she shouldn’t marry a monster cat just because Ranma dumped her. Feels sorry for Maomolin.

14.4: Ashamed of not being able to swim unlike everyone else in her class. Determined to learn whatever it takes and happy at the prospect of finally learning. Stomps Ranma after he calls her body ugly out of nowhere. Several guys at school are attracted to her body. Thinks the principal is ridiculous for strapping a boulder to her back and putting a shark in the pool. She tries to save him from drowning, while all other onlookers are unconcerned if he dies. Classmates worried about her safety. Touched when Ranma saves her from the shark, but feels motivated to succeed after he repeatedly insults her ability to learn.

14.5: Sad when she feels humiliated by the principal. Angry when Ranma teases her while drowning. Determined to never give up. Sad after repeatedly drowning, but tries to cheer up the principal for trying to help her. Can’t swim even with a life preserver.

14.9: Wonders about the identical mark on P-chan and Ryoga. Thinks the same person drew them both. Considers if both of them could be the same, but throws away the notion as silly.

14.10: Helps Kasumi prepare and serve food to ladies’ club meeting at the dojo. Concludes that the disappearing mark was there for a magic show and buys Ranma’s lie that Ryoga drew it on P-chan for practice.

14.11: Calls Happosai a horrible old man. Helps two children get back home.

15.2: Horrified that Kuno will drug and rape Ranma-chan during their date. Saves an unconscious Ranma from Kuno’s advances.

15.3: After Ranma-chan tells Kuno that she’ll do anything if he gives her the wish, Akane thinks she’s willing to sleep with Kuno.

15.4: Outraged that Ranma wagered and lost the Tendo dojo as a child, but is still worried about him.

15.5: Wonders if Ranma and Ukyo’s relationship, since they’re simultaneously childhood friends, a boy and a girl, and somewhat gender-confused. Brings Ranma a change of clothes, but briefly misunderstands when she overhears him stating that he ‘wants the one right here’.

15.5: Helps Ranma train himself at cards.

15.6: Bemused by Ranma’s kindergarten-level lack of talent. Wins back the house together with her sisters. Annoyed with her father for losing rooms, and decides to win back the dojo herself instead. Frustrated when Ranma is determined to take her place despite his horrible skills. Worried about Ukyo allowing Ranma to bet her livelihood.

15.7: Sees through and attempts to stop all the King’s attempts to cheat.

15.8: Helps her father with a job to capture a mob that attacks and cuts off people’s hair. Perplexed by Ranma’s unwillingness to undo his pigtail.

15.10: Helps Ranma sop his rampant hair growth.

15.11: Wants to comfort Ranma when he’s apparently gone bald, but can’t come up with anything uplifting/encouraging to say.

16.1: Tries to invite Ranma to an obstacle course race with a price of visiting any spring in the world (including Jusenkyo). Annoyed after her father interrupt and embarrasses them both, and Ranma says he wouldn’t want to go with a macho chick like her anyway. Decides to give him the ticket for himself anyway, but is interrupted by Shampoo doing it before herself.

16.2: Flattered by Ryoga’s consideration for her.

16.3: Considers herself and Ryoga the most normal among the regular protagonists. Wonders what happened to Ryoga after a cold-water geyser strikes them.

16.4: Angered when she sees Ranma nuzzled by a naked Shampoo and then in the middle of her and a just as naked Ukyo. Throws rocks to break them all up. Saddened about Ranma being too much of a jerk to notice that she invited him first, then gladly going with either Shampoo or Ukyo, repeatedly insulting her and being hugged by a naked Shampoo. Doesn’t want to team up with him anymore

16.5: Angered when Ranma says that she’s an idiot for not looking where she’s going, but manages to calm her temper and apologise for being a burden and says that he can go on without her. After he replies that she’s always doing stupid things, she gets upset and throws him to safety out of the quicksand. When he’s willing to give up the cure to save her life, Akane fiercely refuses to give up, lifts him out of the quicksand from below, and then races onwards.

16.6: Tries to drag Ranma in her own direction, away from Shampoo, unmindful of hurting him.

16.7: Feels sorry for Shampoo as she runs away crying. Annoyed with Ranma as he only chose her because he hates cats. Tries to drag a drunk Ranma to the goal so he can win the trip. Happy for him when it seems like he’ll win.

16.8: Angry with Soun for getting one of the sisters engaged to Picolet Chardin.

16.9: Gives Ranma digestion pills to help out.

16.10: Disguises herself as a maid to sneak food to the starving Ranma.

17.3-4: Cheers her/him on during the competition.

17.5: Doesn’t want Happosai to steal her underwear. She apologises for Nabiki for accidentally destroying her jacket, but is angered as it turns out to be stolen from herself along with most of her belongings, and that Nabiki is unconcerned about damaging and throwing them away. Hits Ranma after he wipes the dojo with Akane’s self-embroidered towel, destroys it in the process and ridicules the pattern. After Nabiki goads her through derision when speaking with Ranma, and he tells Akane that it doesn’t matter if her clothes are destroyed, since she only looks good in a gi, she decides not to speak with either of them until they apologise. Hits the balcony floor after Nabiki and Ranma tell her that they made fun of her separately, unaware that it’s rotten through. Hurts herself after falling, but is terrified that Nabiki will get a serious injury. Feels hurt after Nabiki states that Ranma neglected Akane and preferred to save her instead, and Ranma says that Akane is not a normal, defenceless girl. Thoughtlessly and insincerely says that if Ranma likes Nabiki so much, he should be her fiancé instead, which Nabiki gleefully takes advantage of.

17.6: Sees through Nabiki’s lie about not spreading the information. Realizes that Nabiki has no real idea about what she’s getting into and warns her that she should train herself in case of attack. Not truly worried since Ranma will always save Nabiki, but concerned that they might get romantic from the ordeal. Kasumi reveals that she and Nabiki tend to fight a lot. Feels sorry for involving Ranma and decides to sort out the mess, but is shocked and very concerned about Nabiki’s feelings after she overhears her (sadistic play-acting) confessing her love to Ranma.

17.7: Manipulated into feeling hurt and furious through Nabiki’s intentional open displays of ‘affection’. Punts the horde of attacking fighting club members. Initially too angry to listen when Ranma tells her to make up, and calls him an idiot. Calms down, but gets sad and disheartened when he tells her that it’s a nice change to be engaged to a cute girl instead of some ‘violent macho jock chick’, but nobly hopes that they become happy together. When Nabiki taunts her, offers to sell Ranma back for 2000 Yen and thinks it’s no big deal to ‘just’ confess to Ranma, Akane gets sad and tells Nabiki that unlike her she can’t just declare something like that, that Nabiki should stop trying to force her, and leave her alone.

17.8: Unconvinced by Nabiki’s laughing declaration that she’s just pretending, since it seemed so sincere and she doesn’t want to think her sister is that twisted and cruel, but says that she shouldn’t try to sell someone she loves. Gets increasingly hurt, frustrated and depressed as Nabiki gleefully torments her by snuggling Ranma, offering to take a bath together, feeding him dinner, and simulating sounds of sexual foreplay. Outraged by Nabiki’s declaration to continue to use and abuse Ranma forever, but refuses to give her anything, and decides to make up with Ranma instead. After she apologises to be mocked and laughed at in return, she gets very sad, pushes Ranma into the river, and tells him that he’s utterly clueless and insensitive about people’s feelings.

17.9: Regrets letting another chance to make up slip through her fingers. Very happy about being invited to a date with Ranma.

17.10: Surprised and embarrassed when Ranma accidentally embraces and says that he loves her (really planning to embarrass Nabiki), and gets very happy when he gives her a bouquet of roses.

18.2: Captured by Taro-monster.

18.3: Breaks through pantyhose bonds and escapes, but can’t swim away from the island and is found by Taro-monster.

18.4: Desperately screams to wake up an unconscious Ranma drifting in the river, before the latter is attacked by Taro-bull.

18.4: Helps Taro bind his injured arm despite that he had just kidnapped her. Describes Ranma as ‘He may not be the strongest martial artist, but he’s very determined and doesn’t stop until he wins.’

18.5: Doesn’t notice when Ryoga is changed in front of her eyes by Taro’s water-trap. Mistakenly believes that Shampoo wants to free her (rather than assassinate her) when she’s tied up.

18.6: Breaks free of bonds. Grabs a warm water kettle from Ryoga and throws it to Ranma to save her from being killed by Taro-bull.

18.7: Almost gets killed while trying to save the kettle. Saved from falling to her death by Ranma.

18.8: Carried off by Happosai. Endangered when Taro monster starts to attack them both. Throws a modified rope to Ranma, so she can tie together Taro’s wings and make him crash into the ground. Draws the conclusion that Taro is angry for something worse than being cursed.

18.9: Shows compassion for Taro’s horrible name.

18.10: Helps Ranma set up a silly play to trick Happosai into changing Taro’s name.

19.1: Tries to help Kuno regain his memory.

19.2: Concerned about Kuno’s amnesia.

19.3: Uses a water-scooter to travel to Watermelon Island and save Ranma-chan through giving her a hot kettle.

19.4: Tries to give strength to a depressed Ukyo by cooking her some (failed) soup. Apologises. Thinks that Ranma suddenly seems nicer than usual. Muses that she could never be part of a 10-year relationship, like Ukyo is, but doesn’t like that she’s staying in his room. Whacks Ranma when she sees him together with Ukyo in the bath, and then again when Ukyo is waiting for him in his bed.

19.5: Feels hurt after she misunderstands and thinks Ranma proposed to Ukyo.

19.6: Calls Ranma scum for not remembering his childhood promise to marry Ukyo, but helps him to confess the truth to her. After Ukyo doesn’t believe it she reluctantly goes along with Nabiki’s lie about already being married with Ranma and forces herself to hug him.

19.7: Very tense and unconvincing while trying to fake the marriage life. Outraged at Nabiki for selling her out. Even more tense when sleeping in the same room as Ranma. Chases away Nabiki, Soun & Genma when she catches them eavesdropping.

19.8: Repeatedly hits Ranma with a shinai without giving him a chance to explain his plan. Thinks that the best way for Ranma to make Ukyo hate him is to treat her the same way as herself (relentlessly insult her weakest spots). Angered and hits Ranma due to his constant indecisiveness in the face of tearful girls.

19.10: On her usual early morning run. She’s cheerful and friendly towards her classmates and Gosunkugi. Tells Ranma not to bully the ‘weak’ (Gosunkugi), but then harshly pushes Gosunkugi away for disturbing their argument. Thinks Gosunkugi is strange but doesn’t hate him.

20.5: Thinks Ranma’s & Ryoga’s battle is meaningless, since friends shouldn’t fight and feels sorry for fulfilling Ryoga’s request to say that she hates him, since it turned him so sad.

20.7: Accompanies Ranma to rescue Shampoo from being turned into a cat. Grudging but seemingly willing to allowing him to kiss her for breaking the spell.

20.8: When Ranma needs her help as a distraction to keep the cats away and save Shampoo, she instead spitefully gives him the catnip jacket and punts him into a horde of cats despite the traumatised state this leaves him in. Again half-convinced by Ranma that it’s not a romantic thing, and distracts Maomolin with pussy willow to let Ranma kiss her. She still jumps on his head and calls him a pervert when she thinks he’s enjoying himself. Relents again when the time is running out.

20.11: Immediately believes Ranma when informed that Kodachi’s photographs of Kuno and Ranma-chan are doctored.

21.2: Checks up on Ranma when the latter is training in the wilderness.

21.3: The only one in the family shown as dedicated enough to follow the unmoving match between Ranma & Genma for several hours. Thinks the fighting match has turned stupid and goes to bed.

21.4: Runs an errand for Kasumi. Curious enough to use magic cherry blossom cookies to see if she’s destined to marry Ranma.

21.5: Very surprised when it seems like she might be destined for Ryoga. (The marks were just P-chan’s hooves hitting his own face. Ryoga unknowingly washed away any information with warm water) Wants Ranma to try them to make sure. When he doesn’t seem to care and makes a sarcastic statement that Ryoga might be a better man than him, Akane replies that he’s kind, pure and gentle. States to herself that since Ranma is unwilling to test them she’ll just have to learn to love Ryoga. Calls Ranma a wimp for being afraid.

21.6: Nonetheless terrified at seeing Ranma’s face and punts him away while closing her eyes. She’s doubtful about being destined for Ryoga. Says that she thought she had to cancel the engagement, but since Ranma had so many (P-chan) marks appear on his face she’s happy to continue, and tries her best to be nice to Ranma (by cooking).

21.7: Male classmates find her physically attractive. Depressed after a humiliating defeat in the volleyball tournament due to Mariko Kunjo’s interference.

21.8: Annoyed with and saves Ranma from her furious father.

21.10: Competes disguised in a kendo tournament, to help Ranma win his martial arts cheerleading match. Easily defeats every Furinkan team member, until faced with Kuno.

21.11: Saves Ranma from Mariko.

22.1: Dresses up as a cheerleader, and feigns affection for Kuno to sucker-kick him in the face (if he’s unconscious Mariko loses), but is reluctant about it. Apparently not bothered by Mariko exposing Ranma’s love for her in front of the entire school and that everyone spreading rumours about them afterwards.

22.2: Flashback to loving her (seemingly Kasumi-ish very kind and nurturing) mother very much as a 3-4 year old child, and crying for accidentally falling and breaking a carnation she wished to give as present. Together with her family, visits her mother’s grave on the anniversary of her death. She still seems melancholic about it and tells Ranma that she died when Akane was very little, then asks Ranma if his mother is still alive and turns curious when Genma avoids the issue. Thinks Nodoka might be a restaurant owner Genma swindled for food. Surprised when told that it’s Genma’s wife, and is happy for Ranma being able to meet his mother.

22.3: Astonished when hearing that Genma promised that he and Ranma would commit ritual suicide if he failed to make Ranma ‘the greatest martial artist of his generation and a man among men’, and then worried when she learns that Nodoka intends to fulfil her duty if worst comes to worst. Concludes that Genma has been terrified due to Ranma’s Jusenkyo curse. Feels sorry for Nodoka.

22.4: Tries to help Ranma by forcing herself to tell Nodoka that he’s attractive, a ‘a man among men’ and that his main hobby is sparring with his friends. Feels sorry for Nodoka’s and Ranma’s suffering and decides to do something.

22.5: Tries to set up a good reunion between Ranma and his mother, without revealing the curse. Hands him a carnation to bring for the meeting. Angry when Genma interferes as she expected.

22.6: Disappointed in and tries to make Ranma feel guilty for eventually turning frightened into not seeing his mother.

22.7: Ignores and doesn’t get upset with Ranma for being cuddled by Shampoo. Clobbers him with a stool when implying that she would ask him on a date. Curious about Shampoo’s suddenly ‘dismissive’ behaviour towards Ranma (When under the influence of the ‘reversal-jewel’ which either strengthens love or turns it into hate), but gets very annoyed when hearing a prideful Ranma’s battle-cry to make Shampoo love him again.

22.8: She severely beats Ranma after he tries to make Shampoo jealous by faking a ‘date’/’romantic stroll’ with her. Goaded (by Nabiki, who’s aware that it’s just a matter of pride) into thinking that he genuinely cares for Shampoo, after seeing him defeat the latter in combat (to make Shampoo declare her love for him).

22.9: Rightly concludes that the pieces don’t add up, Shampoo is too out of character, and that it must be a trap. Goes to stop Ranma after this is confirmed by Mousse, but is outraged and annoyed by Ranma’s ego when overhearing him demand a love confession from Ukyo just to make sure that he’s attractive enough to successfully ‘confess’

22.10: Bitter with Ranma since earlier and decides to let him marry Shampoo, and hopes that all of their kids will be annoying brats. Refuses Mousse’s attempts to convince her to interfere, until he places the rj on her to bolster and express her true feelings. Declares that she absolutely, unconditionally loves Ranma more than anyone else in the world, and apologises for being angry. After Cologne removes the jewel and Ranma asks her to ‘give him all her lunches from now on since a tomboy like her could stand to lose a few pounds’, she severely hurts him, and he’s wholly bandaged up in a sickbed. Remains resentful towards him even then.

22.11: Very concerned about Happosai, due to him gradually losing all his energy/life. Afraid of ghosts.

23.3: Helps Ranma against Taro (to stop him from duplicating Happosai), by turning the latter human with hot water.

23.4: Enraged at Happosai for allowing the others to fight Taro-monster to save him, while he’s groping naked girls.

23.7: Wants to help Kasumi while she’s sick, by volunteering to cook dinner for her family. Angered and stomps on Ranma after he calls her cooking worse than poison. She’s glad to ‘help’ Nodoka in the kitchen, and grateful and happy for being offered faith and help to teach her to cook well. Determined not to let even Ranma be a better cook than her. Frenetically chops the vegetables and cutting board together into uneven pieces, mixes up soy sauce with salad oil and cuts the potatoes into pieces rather than peeling them. Repeatedly apologises to Nodoka when she fails. Begins to cry after she accidentally destroys all the food by boiling shelled eggs in the microwave oven, but is encouraged after Nodoka tells her that she still has faith that Akane will be able to cook for Ranma. Finally manages to create instant ramen.

23.8: Thinks Ryoga is a kind person for always bringing her gifts. Thinks Nabiki is just trying to tease Ryoga when told that he’s going to great troubles to woo her. She says that she only considers him a friend. Shocked when she ‘catches’ Ryoga opening Ranma-chan’s shirt.

23.9: Thinks Ranma has gone insane when she catches him making love drawings of Ryoga. After Ranma tries to convince her that they have a relationship she thinks Ryoga’s loneliness made him reach out to the next best thing to a real girl, due to all the times Ranma-chan was teasing him. Finds the ‘love fishing rod’ instructions, realises that Ranma was serious, and thinks Ryoga might have been really lonely and tried to snare Ranma-chan.

23.10: Misunderstands Ryoga chasing Ranma to kill her as a romantic meeting. Hits Ryoga with a shovel and tells him that this has turned from pathetic to sick. Tries to ‘explain’ to him that, while he’s probably feeling lonely and confused, this isn’t true love. Tries to stop Ranma-chan from being stupid when the latter tries to snare Ryoga, but is surprised to see the hatred in her eyes when she attacks Akane with murderous fury. Asks Ryoga why he would snare Ranma and thinks there’s something deeper to all of this. Surprised by Ryoga’s confession to her, but then sees him hug Ranma-chan, and thinks that while it’s nice that he can love another person, she can’t understand choosing Ranma or the way he expresses it.

23.11: Concerned with Gosunkugi and hopes he hasn’t been hurt after being attacked by robbers. Strongly disapproves of fighting (or hurting) defenceless opponents.

24.1: Touched when Ryoga stands up for her against Lime and then concerned when he’s beaten. Frenetically tries to get free when caught over Lime’s shoulder. Touched when Ranma stands up for her against Herb.

24.2: Worried about him/her after he/she is beaten.

24.3: Very touched and thanks Ryoga for offering help to cure Ranma. Feels guilty about getting Ranma into this and apologises, but seems to be the only one who believes in him and says that she knows he/she can succeed.

24.6: Feels from afar that someone (a dying Ryoga) called her name.

25.2: Very worried when she hears about the collapsing Mt. Horaisan on the news and several ‘bad omens’ occur simultaneously. Overjoyed, but awkward, when finding him alive in the bath. Gives him a long heartfelt hug, with tears in her eyes, after he complains that she can’t say anything nice to him.

25.4: Doesn’t believe Ukyo’s paranoia that Ranma is making moves on his teacher (Ms. Hinako). Disbelieving and annoyed when she sees him for once actually being nice/considerate (actually just trying to bribe the teacher to teach him the technique), and leaves without giving him the chance to explain, but unlike Ukyo and Shampoo, doesn’t severely beat him up.

25.5: Uncertain if she’d call Ranma a lady-killer when asked by Ms. Hinako, and turns annoyed when the latter arrogantly states that it’s natural that he’d fall for a real woman like herself, but remains polite. Reluctantly helps Ukyo to eavesdrop when Hinako calls Ranma to a private meeting.

25.6: Shocked to find Ranma bent over Hinako and grabbing her breasts (really trying to defend himself by hitting 5 pressure points to deactivate her ability), and punts him into the air for being a ‘brute and a pervert’. Furious after seeing Ranma repeated the feat and accidentally grabbing another woman as well, and beats him up with a shinai oblivious to his explanations, and thinks he goes after Hinako because she has a bigger chest.

25.7: Declines Ukyo’s offer to attack Hinako. Seems disinclined to believe that Hinako seduced Ranma rather than him being responsible, due to recalling Ranma’s explanation completely out of context. Stops Ranma from grabbing Hinako on the court. Shocked when Ranma seems willing to go far Hinako to defend Hinako, through intercepting all of Kodachi’s, Shampoo’s and Ukyo’s attacks. Finally seems willing to believe his explanation.

25.9: Tries to warn Ranma about still wearing a girl’s gym uniform as a male. Worried when he seems sad. Thinks Happosai is an evil man for teaching a small child to help him steal panties. Angry with and helps to beat up Happosai after he reveals that the pressure points must be pushed every day for a month to remove the ability.

25.10: Happy and surprised to have managed to cook a normal curry through being extra careful, but feels dejected when nobody wants to try it (doesn’t get upset with Ranma). Has a ‘prophetic’ dream about Ryugenzawa, right before seeing it mentioned in a TV documentary and being called on a monster extermination mission to the area. Curious about finding out the meaning behind the small horn whistle she was given to ‘ward off monsters’ in her memory and thinks it’s her duty as a martial artist to help out and then report to her father. Remembers being saved from a monster by a small boy who gave it to her.

25.11: Remembers helping the injured boy out of a trap back to his house, when the event is mirrored in present day. Finds it odd when Shinnosuke doesn’t remember her or the horn. Angered and strikes him when walking in on her in the bath (he knew but forgot)

26.1: Very happy about being told that her food is delicious and to cook dinner as well. Happy when she thinks Ranma came due to being worried about her, but annoyed ad punts him when he can’t compliment her suddenly improved cooking without turning it backhanded.

26.2: Feels very guilty and responsible about getting Shinnosuke deathly ill from the injuries he received saving her when small, and wants to make up for it and save him. Thankful to Ranma for saving Shinnosuke, and very worried about the latter. Decides to stay and care for him until he’s better, but helps to keep his terminal condition secret from him.

26.3: Doesn’t want to hurt Shinnosuke’s feelings after he confesses to her.

26.4: Can’t tell Ranma that Shinnosuke is terminally ill in front of the latter. Slaps Ranma to stop him from hitting a sickly Shinnosuke. Apologises and asks him to hit her back.

26.5: Heartbroken and cries when she thinks that Ranma might have left her forever, due to misunderstanding as usual, but can’t force herself to leave her duty. Saves the unconscious Shinnosuke from a rampaging dragon.

26.6: Goes to risk herself against the dragon to bring back the moss of life to cure Shinnosuke.

26.7: Manages to capture moss from the Yamata Oroshi, and throw it for Shinnosuke, despite being caught in its tongue.

26.8: Saddened to die without getting a chance to tell Ranma the truth. Touched when she wakes up to find that Ranma saved her, and the latter tells Shinnosuke to take care of her ins case she/he doesn’t survive, to then bait the dragon away from Akane.

26.9: After Shinnosuke is cured (her debt/duty cleared) she instantly becomes fiercely determined to save Ranma from the dragon and cheerfully states that Ranma is her fiancé.

26.10: Terrified at the prospect of Ranma being dead, but overjoyed to find her still alive inside behind its teeth. Uses herself as bait to make it open the mouth and let Ranma out. Unperturbed by Ranma’s attempts to discourage (to save) her and runs into its mouth with a hot teakettle to make it open up and throw _him_ out. Happy when they both escape to go home together again.

26.11: Saves herself and Ranma at the last moment by blowing the whistle and putting the giant head to sleep again. Feels sorry about leaving the infatuated Shinnosuke. She’s happy when a quiet Ranma awkwardly reaches for her hand, and grasps it in her own, then tells him that she’s glad that they’re going home together and apologises for making him worry, but wonders why he’s being so gloomy.

27.1: Slightly aghast when her ditzy teacher thinks her father is ‘really nice’ and then gets distracted by the ‘cute’ panda. Concerned when Hinako constantly gets distracted and never seems to leave and then surprised when it’s evident that the latter is attracted to her father. Disbelieving about the situation and pretends to sleep when the child teacher asks her if she wants a mother.

27.2: Annoyed with Hinako’s clumsy attempts to fill the role of a mother in the household (horrible cook, trying to charm Soun).

27.4: Very confused by Ranma’s sudden uncharacteristically humble and apologetic behaviour.

27.5: Thinks Mousse is doing a big mistake in being so cowardly and tries to convince Shampoo that if she’s consistently mean and cold to him she won’t be able to teach him any better. Tells Mousse that hollow victories won’t bring satisfaction and that Shampoo will grow to hate him if he continues. Thinks Mousse’s character has changed. Disapproving when Ranma burns for revenge and demands an array of cowardly trick devices.

27.6: Embarrassed when Ranma resorts to a multitude of dishonourable cheats during the battle but is impressed when Mousse still tries to fight fairly. Informs and brings Shampoo to the battle. Surprised when Mousse puts on the glasses backward and apologises (apparently as a way to not be the ‘unmanliest’), and knocks Ranma out with a sledge to the head from behind to stop him from continuing to attack Mousse.

27.7: Concerned about an unconscious Ranma-chan and confused about her new irremovable ugly cursed swimwear. Shocked at the prospect of Ranma-chan being drowned if they don’t fulfil its wish to be complimented by the man who rejected it, and determined to help finding him.

27.8: Restrains an irate Ranma-chan from hitting Kuno until after he’s complimented it. Happy when it seems like Ranma is safe.

27.9: Terrified of the ghosts in the ‘tunnel of lost love’ and clings to Ranma in fear. Angered and decides to go home, when he doesn’t believe and condescendingly mocks her.

27.10: Grateful to Ryoga for ‘being the only guy she can trust’. Jealous of Ukyo after Ranma offers the latter a piggyback ride (while he very seldom does so nice things for her). She faints after seeing a large ghost while Ryoga fell into the water, then cries while holding Ranma’s hand and says that she doesn’t want to be in this place. Worried about Ryoga, and decides to stay wait for him to catch up. States that in her experience Ryoga is much more trustworthy than Ranma. Misunderstands Ryoga’s apologies to a reluctant Ukyo and thinks they’re in love. Happy for and apologises to Ukyo, sorry about ‘causing them trouble’. Thinks Ryoga & Ukyo are just having a lover’s quarrel when they seem to hate each other afterwards.

27.11: Helps Ranma to stop the principal from publicly announcing his supposedly bad English test score. Received ’86%’ herself.

28.1: Lightly teases Ranma about having to dress up for her/his mother, and encourages Ranma to tell her.

28.3: Concerned about Ranma being injured by Ryu.

28.4: Curious about Genma’s lessons with Ranma and asks him about his history with the Kumon dojo. She’s angry with Ranma after discovering him hiding in the roof and silently replacing her underwear with food. Surprised when Ranma ‘steals’ the floorboards to collapse the room the family is eating in. Clobbers Genma as responsible for teaching Ranma the manoeuvre. Tells Ranma that she’s supporting and believes in him, but clobbers him for sneaking unseen inside her room at night, then offers her aid with the favour he needs from her.

28.5: Determinedly delivers Ranma’s challenge. Touched by Nodoka’s concern for ‘Ranko’. Annoyed when Ranma keeps practising with her underwear.

28.6: Witnesses the fight between Ranma & Ryu, but thinks Ranma is trying to go overboard with the demands.

28.7: Surprised that Genma must be incredibly strong behind ‘that flabby posterior’ to invent two such schools. Worried that Ryu will break that Ranma’s back.

28.10: Dumbfounded when Genma reveals that the two schools are methods of burglary, and seals the latter in a pit together with the two scrolls, after he states that Ryu’s father could have rebuilt his school if he had laboured to understand this.

28.11: Helps to mop up Ranma’s tears from the floor to give Happosai his rejuvenation potion,, since it would be pointless to let him die after going through such troubles. Astonished when seeing Happosai’s rejuvenation in action.

29.1: Annoyed that Kuno thinks defeating Ranma gives him the right to date her, and saves Ranma by knocking out (the completely distracted) Kuno from behind with single a small mallet strike. Surprised when the phoenix is able to see through the Ranma-chan disguise.

29.2: On her usual early morning run. Annoyed and hits Kuno because he never actually listens to what she is saying/asking, stuck in his own delusions. Helps Ranma-chan to not be attacked nearly as hard in her fight with the phoenix, by changing her back with a thrown teakettle.

29.3: Half-heartedly strikes Ranma with a mallet due to Shampoo’s ‘marriage’ newspaper article.

29.4: Angered at Shampoo for dragging Ranma into her mess of poison-wielding assassins. Kicks Ranma for attempting to put a ‘flower of womanhood’ into her hair, to turn her into a feminine and helpless perfect housewife. Annoyed with Shampoo for claiming to be a blameless victim, despite repeatedly extensively beating up both her assailant and rescuer during a span of over ten years. Concerned about Shampoo after she fakes being captured by Pink & Link.

29.6: Very worried about Ranma’s safety. Enters the jungle of poisonous plants to rescue Ranma &Shampoo, armed with a flame-staff, poison-reflecting fan and a 1-time damage-replacement paper doll. Defeats Pink & Link and politely asks them where Ranma & Shampoo are held, without hurting them further. Briefly turns crazy when seeing Shampoo straddling and attempting to kiss (an unconscious) Ranma, and attacks both of them with her flame-staff (though Ranma is only covered in soot and completely recovered in seconds), but quickly reverts to being worried about Ranma again. After Shampoo taunts her she decides to save Ranma and leave Shampoo to sort out her own mess. She’s annoyed when Ranma expresses ingratitude for her worry.

29.7: Literally gives her life in exchange for Ranma’s when lethal ‘poison snake herbs’ bite them both, and she chooses to use the doll to take his damage instead of hers. Later cares for the broken-legged Ranma and wonders when he hurt himself so badly (since she was unconscious while he rescued them all).

29.8: Repeatedly slaps Ranma after the latter pushes (the oni-possessed) Ryoga through the bathroom door while she’s taking a bath (during an attempt to stop him from peeking) and boots both of them out. Concerned about Kasumi when the latter is possessed by an oni and puts a seal on her head to expel it.

29.9: Worried about the costs when Nabiki takes her to an expensive restaurant. She’s extremely suspicious about Nabiki’s date Kinnosuke Kasha-Oh. Mortified when Nabiki & Kinnosuke constantly stick them with the bills. Somewhat dispirited after Nabiki’s spending spree caused all the family’s belongings to be claimed by debtors and meagre savings to be emptied.

29.10: Tries to help out to pay the bills by preparing to walk the streets as a flower-seller. Concerned by the mounting bills and Nabiki’s bet. Keeps an eye on Nabiki for Soun’s sake and is charmed by kindergarten girls. Dazed and extremely concerned by Nabiki’s extravagant spending spree. Only wants water on the Hong Kong restaurant and is scrared by being in an English-speaking casino. She’s increasingly terrified and anxious by Nabiki’s careless and wasteful spending extremes, and is upset after Nabiki says that she’s uncertain and indifferent to if she can win or not.

29.11: Akane still doesn’t want to believe the worst of her sister despite all evidence, and considers Nabiki’s lie of being in love with Kasha-Oh. Shaking in terror at their extravagances and mounting debts. Surprised and shocked by Kasha-Oh’s trap to only get off the airplane by spending 10 Yen (and lose the competition), and outraged at Nabiki’s willingness to remove Kasha-Oh’s parachute and sell him his life for 10 Yen. After the competition she still wants to believe the best of her sister and is touched by and compassionate towards her sister’s ‘broken heart’ (actually Nabiki is just sad over not making it a bigger bet).

30.2: Very happy for ‘her friend’ Ryoga about ‘getting a girlfriend’, since she was worrying about him always wandering around in loneliness.

30.5: When Kasumi finds Hinako’s wallet, Akane is concerned that the educator must be worried sick and decides to immediately bring it to her apartment. After finding Ranma seemingly trying to break in on a showering distressed Hinako, she briefly assumes he’s trying to force himself on the teacher and beats him until given an explanation.

30.6: Encourages Ranma to take the opportunity to learn when Hinako goes to such troubles to help him. Concerned when being in adult form for too long overtaxes Hinako’s body and mind.

30.7: Helps out with a mission to get rid of a monster that asks for dates (Kuno stuck in a cursed cherry tree).

30.9: Saves Ranma from having to commit ritual suicide after almost caught by Nodoka while wearing a bra in male form. Feels very sorry for Ranma not being able to see his mother.

30.10: After the latter begs her to set up a meeting between them she helps him out hoping that she worries for nothing.

30.11: Shamefacedly apologises to Ryoga for ‘getting him burnt’ by a powerful magic ‘spatula’ laser.

31.2: Doesn’t want Ranma to ‘act like a bully’ and fight with a child (actually an old martial arts master in disguise), oblivious to that Ranma is the one getting beaten up.

31.4: Worried about Ryoga being ‘injured’ and lonely and visits his house with a bouquet of flowers.

31.6: Twice stops Ranma from sharing the magic ‘umbrella of love’ with Ukyo, with transparent ‘unconcerned’ lies afterwards. Terrified at the prospect of sharing it with Kuno. Heavily embarrassed when sharing the umbrella with Ranma, unaware that it’s broken, then quietly walks home sharing a regular umbrella.

31.7: Anxious to learn to swim and grateful about being offered help from Hinako. Embarrassed at the possibility to lose to the ditzy child-teacher in a competition to learn first, and kicks at the basin edge to gain propulsion, but only manages to get her foot stuck and almost drown. She’s determined not to lose, and apparently thought you were supposed to breath in water, rather than air, when swimming, but uses it to gain trust upward by quickly expelling it. She is finally happy about learning to ‘swim’ in less than knee-deep water.

31.9: Worried by Nabiki’s story of a cursed doll. She’s frightened and confused after having her spirit placed in the doll, and determined to reveal the subterfuge to her family. Frantic when the doll is using her body to seduce Ranma.

31.10: Tries to save Ranma from being killed by the doll despite being scared, small and helpless. Angered, and hits his foot with a rocks, when he’s confused by ‘Akane’s’ change in behaviour and says that she’s cuter, sexier and not as violent. Covers Ranma’s eyes when ‘Akane’ disrobes before him, and tries to attack her in retaliation and protection of Ranma. Desperately wants Ranma to realise that it’s her and cries for not being able to say anything. After switching back she hugs him to gain comfort from the frightful ordeal. After later learning that he was the one who enraged the doll and ‘brought her through the ordeal’ she turns irate and smacks him several times during the trip home.

31.11: Fearful when assaulted by lustful, ‘aloha virus’-ridden males (thinking it’s their honeymoon) on a deserted island. She’s determined not to get raped by the zombie-like horde and defends herself despite not having eaten in three days. Uses female allure to entice them into entering a hot spring containing the antidote.

32.1: Compassionate towards a naked girl she found cowering and exhausted in a park fountain, and brings her home in case she needs help. She’s disbelieving towards Taro’s protests of innocence and concerned about the fainting Rouge.

32.3: She accepts Rouge’s ‘apology’ and helps to repair all the damage done to the house by Taro & ‘Asura’ (but does a pretty bad job). Annoyed and clobbers Taro after the latter crashes in through one of the spots she just fixed. Concerned that the plummeting Rouge will get killed. Cheers for Ranma during his battle.

32.5: Gives more moral support. Concerned that Ranma will get killed by the traitorous Taro. She (successfully) cares for Ranma’s wounds after the battle.

32.6: Stops Kodachi from assaulting innocent bystanders. Angered at Kodachi’s presumption that Ranma is her boyfriend, and for getting him caught in a fox trap and dropping heavy object on him, since she considers the latter ‘the only person who would use such cowardly traps’. Learns that the identical Asuka was responsible and tries to convince her to leave Ranma alone, but is very insulted by Asuka’s deprecating attitude towards his quality, determinedly encourages Ranma to prove his worth/that he’s plenty cool to her, and that she’ll allow a date just this once.

32.7: Stops Kodachi from making out with an unconscious Ranma. Shows great pride in Ranma’s quality and mocks Asuka, but is briefly intimidated by the Kodachi/Asuka double-determination ‘don’t interfere’ combo. She immediately considers herself as beaten when Asuka’s ‘boyfriend’ (ambushed dupe) is a bishonen, but tries to cheer up Ranma afterwards by telling him that a man isn’t just a face.

32.8: Surprised and excited about being chosen by a legendary battle-dougi that brings out your dormant talent. Very enthusiastically wants to try it out by sparring with Ranma, and overjoyed about having so much dormant talent that she easily succeeded. She thinks the lecherous suit is ‘cute’ for cuddling her. Angered when overhearing Ranma-chan realise that only ‘figureless’ girls can fit into the suit, clobbers her, is contemptuous about his/her jealousy and considers him/her a ‘loser’.

32.9: Revels in being able to weightlessly jump over the rooftops. Surprised that Ranma ‘would still want to wear the dougi’. She’s very smug about beating Ranma once again, and apparently not as sensitive to his barbs now that she’s the stronger party. She stops the dougi from beating on Ranma, but immediately affectionately forgives it and just tells it to ‘try not to tease him so much’. Still just slightly annoyed and otherwise unfazed by his barbs. Confused when Ranma calls her to a meeting, and clobbers him without allowing him to finish when he says that ‘there’s a girl he really likes’. Initially unconvinced when he says that the suit is coming between them, and correctly assumes that he just can’t stand that she’s stronger than him, but eventually relents and is overjoyed when he tells her that he needs to be close to her, but also shy and embarrassed about their awkward position.

32.10: Decides to accept Ranma’s request and get rid of the suit, since the strength and skill isn’t hers anyway and she doesn’t want to fight him. Scared by a spider and embraces Ranma, leading to a hesitantly romantic moment. Mortified when her sisters see them. After Soun nonchalantly tells her that Ranma’s only intention was to get rid of the suit she turns incredibly hurt and angry, beats up Ranma and never wants to see him again. Completely disbelieving when Ranma tells her that he became sincere halfway through and thinks she’s cute, and turns furious after he tells her that the suite always comes in the way of them (‘because he’s jealous of their friendship’). Arrogantly and determinedly prepares to severely beat him up.

32.11: Determined to reap further ‘vengeance’. Sniffs and derisively calls Ranma a pathetic weakling after easily beating him up, due to the latter holding back and only trying to hit the suit’s belt latch (to disable it), and tells him that they won’t see each other again. She’s furiously outraged after he has the ‘temerity’ ‘to attack’ her (again trying to hit the clasp) doesn’t listen to explanations and manically beats him up while vowing to kill him. After he tries to goad her to set up restraining manoeuvres, she calls him a coward, a jerk, an awful martial artist, and that if he manages to hit her in self-defence she’ll ‘naturally’ never forgive him. Even further angered when he ‘chooses the duel over making up with her’, but he actually just put his hand under her belt latch to then strike it. Frantically striking him in anger after Ranma realises that her belly is too big for him to get his hand under the belt, but immediately forgives him after he takes all damage from the fall in her place.

33.2: Unwilling to believe that Kasumi would turn upset, but turns nervous when all the evidence at home point in that direction. She ‘helps’ to apologise/cheer Kasumi up by baking a cake, but accidentally destroys it, the microwave and her sister’s favourite cup. She sews Ranma a good luck charm when the other tie him up as a human sacrifice for Kasumi to take out her anger on, but hopes he’ll be all right. She turns terrified for Ranma’s sake and tries to stop her sister when it looks like the latter strangles him. Later, she’s a little taken aback when Kasumi admonishes Ranma in the gentle manner of a mother to a baby.

33.3: Shocked by Ranma’s statement that Ryoga has a small child (actually Ryoga turned to childhood). Helps to care for child Ryoga, wants the latter to sit in her knee, thinks he’s polite and hugs him to her bosom, then mallets Ranma for bullying him. She later offers to take a bath together. She’s surprised about seeing a child Ranma.

33.4: She’s apparently wholly unconcerned about finding out that she cuddled Ryoga and that he even accepted to bath with her (which is considerably more severe than anything he did in piglet form) and continues to care for both him and Ranma as if they were real children. She feels sorry for Ranma & Ryoga getting lost and helps them to get home. She stops Ranma from stealing Ryoga’s mushroom and is annoyed when he calls him a middle-aged woman’ but doesn’t whack him as usual since he’s in ‘helpless’ child form.

33.5: She continues to care like a mother for the two children, tries to help them get along, and cultivates new mushrooms for both of them. She comforts a crying baby Ryoga and spanks Ranma for picking on him. She doesn’t interfere when Ryoga gets revenge, since Ranma started it, but gets a bad conscience when the latter fakes tears and says that she’s never taking his side. Since their fighting threatens the mushrooms she decides to hide and grow them herself, but gets annoyed with them for making her room a mess while searching for them, but immediately gets over it and readies their grown mushrooms. When they accidentally destroy these as well (along with her cupboard and the clothes within it) she fakes sadness and pretends that they’re all destroyed in order to make them calm down while she grows the ones she kept in reserve.

33.6: She finds it odd that Shampoo would ‘care’ about Mousse. She’s curious (/concerned?) about that Mousse is so worn out, and follows to see where he goes every night. She’s concerned that Shampoo is willing to leave Mousse living in a dream world, and later that he seems to get the life sucked out of him. She tries to save his life by removing the scarf from the statue and restraining him from going on further dates. She’s outraged that Shampoo refuses to help them.

33.7: She vainly tries to convince Mousse to stop and Shampoo to relent, but instead tricks Shampoo to get there by making a ramen delivery order with muffled voice. She’s angered and tries to strike Shampoo when the latter immediately starts to snuggle Ranma instead of helping out.

33.8: She helps Hinako and a priest by making a trap for and fighting an Ema destroying horse. She apparently has no artistic talent whatsoever, but is oblivious about it. She seems to get along quite well with Ukyo and compliments the latter on her drawing skill.

33.10: She helps Ukyo find whoever is sabotaging her business. She’s curious about what Hayato Myojin looks like without a mask, and tries to trick him into taking it off.

33.11: She’s compassionate to Hayato for his troubles due to keeping the promise to permanently stick the mask to his face. She helps Ranma get rid of the mask stuck on his own.

34.1: She once again won a small price at a lottery. She clobbers Ranma when it seems like he’s laughing at her after Nabiki gets her blasted by the Bean-Gun plant. She tries to take revenge for Nabiki’s derision by making her lose her cool and get blasted as well. She’s worried about Ranma getting severely beaten by the plant. She helps Nabiki with her plan to distract the plant.

34.2: She’s compassionate towards an old woman and child lying on the road and offers her help. She’s glad to help the child deliver a Valentine’s chocolate. She doesn’t turn jealous when Ranma’s paramours attack him, but later repeatedly clobbers him whenever her derisively refuses her ‘Valentine’s gift’, and briefly turns too embarrassed to give it. She repeatedly punts Kuno whenever he embraces her. When Ranma turns disappointed because the chocolate was from a little girl, she gives him the one she prepared herself, and is shy when he’s appreciative about it.
