Subject: Ranma 1/2 Keywords: Shonen Sunday #1 (1990) From: mfolivo@sactoh0.UUCP (Mark F. Newton) Organization: Sacramento Public Access, Ca. USA Date: 11 Jan 90 09:16:27 GMT (The usual disclaimers apply) I just got the latest Shonen Sunday, and it carries over from the last synopsis (of sorts, heh) that I posted. It is funnier than last time! To briefly summarize, Shampoo had given Ranma a special mushroom, causing the eater to do whatever the giver says, on a special sound, like hypnosis. But Kuno got into it, and sneezed at the moment Shampoo told Ranma to hug her. So, when someone sneezes, Ranma hugs them, even if it is Kuno or Akane. (The Tendo home) Ranma is trying to explain to Akane, but she is in archer's garb, taking potshots at Ranma. As she draws her bowstring, she begins to sneeze. "Ah...ah..." "WAIT!" She sneezes, with the usual (heh) result. "KYAAAAAAHHH!" as she screams, ready to crown him with her bamboo sword... As she goes after Ranma, Shampoo (cutey cat) is on the roof. As Ranma comes flying out of the house, Shampoo goes, "hi...hi... kachoo". "AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Akane hears a blood curdling scream outside, and is overun by Ranma, with Shampoo in his arms. Remember, Ranma has a cat phobia and he is in terror (heh heh) As they are shown in the bath, Shampoo is a girl again, and Ranma is beside himself. "Shampooo..." "Niihao". Of course, Akane is not happy to see Ranma and Shampoo in the bath together (no matter the circumstances), but Shampoo pulls out something to make Ranma sneeze, but Akane gets it, and as she sneezes.... Ranma has bugged out. Kuno now is charging down the street, bugged about Ranma hugging him. "Onore Saotome Ranma!" As he charges into the Tendo home, he sneezes. So Shampoo plans, and gives Akane a shumai, and as she hits a gong, tells Akane to hug any guy except for Ranma. (I think I read that right- "Ranma igai no otoko netsuretsu ni dakishimeru yoroshi!") So she grabs Kuno, and he of course, has a heart attack. (he heh) So as Shampoo explains to Akane, she just doesn't believe it, so she hits the gong again. Kuno is ecstatic, that Akane is coming at him with open arms, but Akane is not so happy, and Ranma definately is not happy. Before Akane gets to Kuno, Ranma punts Kuno away. Akane wonders what is happening, and in the background, a sneeze. Shampoo has Ranma in her arms, but Akane just gives him the mallet treatment. As Ranma yells at her, she begins to sneeze. "ah ahhh.." and as she sneezes, Ranma grabs her nose, and *pops* her ears. "BAKAAA!" as Akane punches Ranma... into the gong. As Ranma calls her names, who comes through the door as Ranma hit the gong? Ryoga. (see? Pretty funny, ne?) Ryoga goes to pieces (Akane...) but then Ranma punts him, too. Ranma calls her names (Shirigaru onna- wanton girl?) and Akane responds by breaking the gong over Ranma's head. As Shampoo is about to have Akane eat another shumai, Kuno stps in and hits a small gong, to have Akane hug him, and Shampoo and Ranma freak out. Needless to say, we see Kuno head through the roof again. Ranma takes the shumai from Shampoo, and as she says "Give it back!", Ranma obliges, and throws it into her mouth. Ranma snaps his fingers, and tells Shampoo to go home. They board up the entrance, and they realize that they are alone together. Ranma tells Akane not to sneeze (?), and Akane says, "Alright, already." But... "ah.... ah..." "choo." But this time, nothing happens. Apparently, it works only for one hour. They laugh at each other glad that nothing will happen. But as we leave Akane and Ranma this week, they are watching TV, and Ranma is wondering why Akane is arming herself. (on the table is a bat, barbell, nunchaku...) Akane tells him that they are together. (as she sneezes a small sneeze) Oyasuminasai da-cha, Shinobu -- -- (ames att sun)!pacbell! \ Sakura-mendo, CA ucdavis!csusac! - sactoh0!mfolivo uunet!mmsac! / the good guys!
