Ranma 1/2 by Takahashi Rumiko Volume 25 Translated By a Fan, For the Fans Distributed by the MANGA MILITIA ----------------------------- p.4 The story until now: Saotome Genma and Ranma are martial artists. A long time ago, the two of them fell into pools on a study trip to Juhsenkyoh ("Cursed Pools") in China, and ever since then, whenever they are doused with water, the father Genma turns into a Panda, and the son Ranma shape-changes into a girl. But Ranma had water dashed on him from the secret treasure Ladle by powerful Herb, who came from China, and he's in the plight of being stuck as a girl. However, he can return to normal with the hot water from the secret treasure Open Water Pot. There Ranma, together with Ryoga and Mousse, went on a journey to look for the secret treasure. But Herb still stands before Ranma and the others. And now, right in the middle of Ranma's battle with Herb..!! Table of Contents: Part 1 - Ranma, Return to Manhood!!

Hinako: Rude, aren't you. Teacher's an adult. Ranma: Does it have something to do with that trick?! Hinako: At any rate... Hinako: Such a matter... Hinako: Let's talk about it slowly after class.

Ranma: Not at all. Ukyo: Wh-What's that attitude of Ran-chan's. Hinako: Heh, heh, heh. Ranma: Ha, ha, ha. p.62 Ranma: Um... Teacher... Ranma: Soon, teach me... Hinako: What? Ranma: Hey! Ranma: Could you possibly... Ranma: Not remember? Hinako: No--, I'm joking--, it's the Happoh Five-Yen Death, right? Ranma: The Happoh Five-Yen Death, you see... Hinako: Ha... Hinako: Ha... Hinako: Ha... p.63 Hinako: Snot came out--. Ranma: Wipe it, wipe it. Hinako: It's cold, so I'm going home--. See you again tomorrow. Ranma: H-Hey! Ranma: Wait, Teacher Hinako!! Ranma: Hereafter, at times... Ukyo: What's this "hereafter!!" Ranma: Wha... Utchan... Ukyo: What more than this were you planning on doing?! p.64 Shampoo: Ranma, you've made a new girlfriend again? Ukyo: Watching silently, you were dallying, dallying, dallying... Ranma: Eh? Ranma: Eh? Akane: I didn't know. Akane: Ranma's nice. Akane: I saw a rare thing. Bye--. Ranma: Huh...? p.65 Ranma: Hey, you-all, what are you thinking...? Ukyo & Shampoo: This is our... Shampoo: Line!! Ukyo: What are you thinking, Ran-chan!! Kodachi: Mortifying--!! Kodachi: I, Kodachi of the Black Rose... Kodachi: Without fail, I'll show you that I can steal Ranma back!! Ranma: Everybody--. Ranma: What are you talking about--? p.66 Happosai: Happoh Five-Yen Death... You couldn't use it if you stood on your head, Ranma. Ranma: Hm?! Ranma: That voice is the old man... Ranma: Where are you?! Ranma: Are you paper trash? Happosai: This is the power of that art... Ranma: Do you know the Happoh Five-Yen Death? Happosai: Of course. That trick... Happosai: I, Happosai, taught it to Ninomiya Hinako when she was a child... Ranma: Wh-What?! p.67 Happosai: What I did, while thinking it good, as a result... Did nothing but destroy the indiscriminate fighting style school, and gave birth to that kind of monster... Ranma: What do you mean, old man?! Happosai: There's no time to explain! Happosai: Now, it's a decision in advance to seal up the Happoh Five-Yen Death!! Happosai: If not, Ranma, it won't stop with just you!! p.68 Ranma: I don't know anything, but is there a way to break that trick...? Happosai: There is, but... Happosai: I can't do it. Ranma, you'll do it. Happosai: First of all... Happosai: You absolutely must not pick a fight. Ukyo: Teacher, can we talk to you? Happosai: When I picked a fight with Hinako, it was my second folly!! Hinako: Eh--? p.69 Part 5 - The Most Forceful Woman in History p.70 Hinako: Heh--? You're all Saotome's girlfriends--? Hinako: What do you want with Teacher? p.71 Shampoo: Dialogue is useless!! Ukyo: Using your position as a teacher for evil, putting a hand on Ran-chan!! Kodachi: I'll punish you!! Hinako: Well. Hinako: To pick a fight all of a sudden... Hinako: You're all bad, aren't you?! Hinako: Good child's exercise #1... Hinako: Happoh Five-Yen Death!! p.72 Hinako: (5) Aku... Ja... Byo... Tsu... Ma... p.73 Ranma: It's a trick that sucks out fighting spirit?! Happosai: Yes, Hinako's Happoh Five-Yen Death... Happosai: Sucking out her opponents' fighting spirit down to the roots... Ukyo: M-My strength... Hinako: Heh - Little girls... Happosai: An extreme, great art that, without fighting, makes one fall down incapable of fighting!! Hinako: You're a hundred years too young to try fighting me. p.74 Ranma: Whereupon, the secret of her shape-changing... Happosai: She's fattened by fighting spirit... Ranma: Fighting spirit goes along with scuffling... Ranma: An art that can eat that fighting spirit... Happosai: Which means, no matter what kind of hand-to-hand fighter, they can't beat Hinako... Kasumi: Akane--, an errand please--. Akane: Ye--s. Akane: Ranma's late. Is he still playing with Teacher...? Hinako: Miss Tendoh, of Year 1 Class F. p.75 Hinako: Won't you talk with me? Akane: Ah... Akane: Ukyo, Shampoo, Kodachi!! Akane: What does this mean?! Hinako: Tendoh. p.76 Hinako: Because we're talking standing up... I'll treat. Happosai: The Happoh Five-Yen Death is an art that can't be used by anybody other than Hinako, who has the special physique to suck out fighting spirit. There... Ranma: This... Happosai: They're the "tsubo" (nerve points, used for acupuncture, etc.) to dispel the physique that sucks out fighting spirit. If you just push these, Hinako's an ordinary person. p.77 Happosai: It's up to you, Ranma, the fate of all the martial artists in the world is resting on your shoulders! Ranma: Eh... Ranma: H-Hey, wait, old man, we're still talking... Happosai: I'm already no relation to Hinako. Happoh Big Fire Rotation!! Ranma: For a woman-loving old man to be that afraid... Ranma: It seems this is nothing ordinary... p.78 Hinako: Tendoh, are you Saotome's fiance? Akane: Well... Yeah. Ukyo: I'M his fiance--. Kodachi: Ranma's mine--. Shampoo: Ranma's destined to be my bridegroom--. Hinako: Understood... Hinako: Saotome's a lady-killer, huh? Akane: Well... p.79 Hinako: Indeed. Hinako: So that's why he came putting a hand on me... Hinako: Well--, I suppose it can't be helped if I'm fallen in love with. Hinako: Teacher's so grown-up. p.80 Hinako: No--, what are you doing--!! Shampoo: It's the kiss of death... Shampoo: When a woman of the Heroine Tribe loses a duel... Shampoo: She follows that woman to the ends of the Earth and kills her... Ukyo: We aren't going to go crying to bed like this. Remember it, Teacher... Shampoo: See you again... Kodachi: The same for me, tah-tah!! Hinako: Hm--, it's a problem, isn't it. p.81 Hinako: Maybe none of them knows they're being toyed with by Saotome. Hinako: They're children, aren't they. Akane: Teacher Hinako... Akane: Maybe it's uncalled-for, but... Hinako: What, Tendoh? Akane: Your mouth's smeared with anko. (Bean-paste?) Narration: The next day... Ranma: Hmmm... Ranma: To push the five tsubo at once...? Ranma: Will it really work? p.82 Hinako: Saotome, come here a minute. Ranma: Hm? Sign: Consultation Room Ranma: What did you want to talk to me about, Teacher...? Hinako: Um... Hinako: Because you're a bad lady-killer, I'll punish you. Hinako: Come here and take it. Ranma: Wha... p.83 Ranma: I don't know anything, but she thinks she's going to suck out my fighting spirit...? Happosai: To seal up the Happoh Five-Yen Death, don't pick a fight. Ranma: If I just don't give off any fighting spirit... Hinako: You can do it, can't you... Hinako: If so... Hinako: Good child's exercise #2! Hinako: Happoh Fifty-Yen Death!! Ranma: Wha-What?! p.84 Hinako: Teacher will suck out all of your fighting spirit. Ranma: Grrr... Akane: Even without going on purpose to peek at anything... Ukyo: So go back to the schoolroom. Ranma: I-If I don't push the tsubo... Ranma: I'll be beaten... Akane: Ah... p.85 Part 6 - Hurry, Push the Tsubo! Hinako: I'll suck out all your fighting spirit. Ranma: D-Damn it... p.86 Ranma: M-My strength's going... Ranma: The tsubo... Ranma: If I don't push the tsubo to disperse her fighting spirit-sucking physique... Ranma: Dah--!! p.87 Ranma: Prepare yourself!! p.88 Akane: Beast. Ranma: Wha... Ranma: What! Ranma: I was attacked by Teacher, so it was unavoidable... Akane: What's unavoidable?! Hinako: What's this hand? p.89 Ranma: Y-You're wrong!! Wrong, wrong, wrong!! Akane: While saying "wrong, wrong"... Akane: How long are you going to keep touching her--!! Voice: Bye-bye--. Voice: Goodbye--. Girl: Teacher Hinako, goodbye. Hinako: Yes, goodbye. Ranma: Shit--. p.90 Ranma: She's a dangerous woman. Ranma: If I don't finish her quickly... Ranma: However, when I press the tsubo from the front... Ranma: On top of having my fighting spirit sucked out, I get treated like a masher... Ranma: If so...! Ranma: From behind!! Hinako: Happoh Fifty-Yen Death! Ranma: Grrr... Ranma: D-Damn it--!! Hinako: Hmph. Girl: Ranma's lecherous--!! Boy: Hey, everybody--! Akane: You did it again--!! Hinako: What is it, since a little while ago? Grabbing a person's chest as much as you like... p.92 Ranma: What - If you say it, originally by Teacher... Hinako: Tell me when I seduced you!! Boy: I see? So Ranma was seduced... Boy: Yeah, it's not unreasonable. Boy: Then, the mashing... Ranma: You're wrong--!! Hinako: Maybe Teacher's too naughty--, because she's too bewitching. Hinako: Wah--, Saotome, you lech, lech, lech--!! Ranma: Stop--!! Ranma: Hmph, I was an idiot... Ranma: If I grab a woman's chest at school, whether it's from the front or behind, it's too much like a masher. p.93 Ranma: But, in a place where there will be nobody to notice... Ranma: She's come! Ranma: This time, from the side!! Ranma: Did it... Sign: Ikebana Club ("Flower arranging") Ranma: Y-You're mistaken--!! Woman: No--, you masher--!! p.94 Woman: Well, boy--, you wanted to touch a woman--? Woman: Touch me, too--? Ranma: You're wrong--!! Hinako: Whenever he sees a woman, he can't keep his hands off her... Unforgivable. Hinako: I've got to finish sucking out Saotome's fighting spirit. Sign: Takoyaki ("Braised Octopus Balls") Man: Customer, your mouth is covered with blue seaweed. p.95 Akane: Ra--n--ma--. Ranma: Wh-What--. Akane: Shameless!! Akane: Not just school, you did it in the streets? Akane: Masher. Akane: So, as long as it's a woman, anyone will do? Ranma: I-Idiot--!! p.96 Ranma: I'm just trying for Teacher Hinako!! Ranma: All right. Ranma: It was my fault for not telling you properly. Ranma: Look at this. Ranma: Teacher Hinako is trying to steal my fighting spirit. Ranma: So, if I don't push these tsubo as soon as possible, and make the teacher's physique for sucking out fighting spirit disappear... p.97 Ranma: Understand, Akane? Akane: ...I understand... Akane: You like Teacher Hinako that much? Ranma: Heh? Ranma: Hey, you, how are you hearing my story...? Akane: You're trying for Teacher, right? I understand. Akane: At any rate, my chest's not big like Teacher's!! Ranma: Wha... Ranma: What are you talking about - Your chest certainly is small, but... p.98 Ranma: Shit--, that idiot Akane... Ranma: She doesn't believe me one bit. Ranma: It's the locations of these tsubo... Ranma: No matter where I press them from, it's lecherous... Ranma: They're a way to touch them without people making me out to be a masher! Ranma: Why didn't I notice such a simple thing!! Narration: Meanwhile... Sign: Cat House Ukyo: At any rate, if we pick a fight straightforwardly, we'll be bait for the Happoh Five-Yen Death again. Shampoo: Yeah. Kodachi: Grrr... Just remembering it, I'm ve- ve- ve- vexed!! p.99 Shampoo: We should get close and attack her without her noticing our fighting spirit - This is best. Ukyo: Then, the truth is, in tomorrow's homeroom, our class is playing basketball for recreation. Kodachi: Indeed. We'll mix in there, and take advantage of the confusion, fair and square... Kodachi: Yes, rival spirit accompanies sports... If we're inside that, a certain amount of fighting spirit will blend in. Kodachi: It's like hiding a tree in a forest. p.100 Ranma: Heh... Ranma: If I'm a fellow woman, whether I hug her from behind or grab her chest... Ranma: IT'S NOT LECHEROUS!! Caption: Tomorrow morning - Duel!! p.101 Part 7 - Formation from Hell p.102 Hinako: Today's homeroom is going to play basketball--. Hinako: Everyone change clothes and meet in the gymnasium--. Akane: Attack Teacher Hinako? Ukyo: It's the best chance. Ukyo: Won't you cooperate, Akane? Ukyo: That seductress, seducing Ran-chan time after time... p.103 Ranma: I'm just trying for Teacher Hinako!! Ranma: blah blah blah YOUR CHEST IS SMALL blah blah blah Caption: The "blah" parts are erased from memory. Akane: But Ranma's happy. Akane: It seems he likes huge chests. Akane: I'll bow out. Ukyo: OK. Hinako: Saotome's absent--? Hinako: Hmph. p.104 Hinako: Even though I thought it would be the best chance to suck out his bad fighting spirit. Ukyo: Teacher--. Hinako: What, Kuonji? Ukyo: It's recreation. Won't you play basketball, too, Teacher? Hinako: Eh--? Ukyo: Although I was temporarily jealous of Teacher... Ukyo: I really want to be friends again. Hinako: Kuonji... Hinako: You understood Teacher's loving whip, didn't you. Kodachi: Heh... p.105 Kodachi: Even if something happens on the court, it's extraterritorial... Shampoo: Which means... We pass it all off as an accident. Kodachi: And, like this... Kodachi: If we do like this, that airhead won't notice who we really are. Shampoo: It's a perfect disguise. Hinako: Let's start the girls' match--. Ranma: Heh, heh, heh... p.106 Ranma: It's the best chance to push the tsubo that will undo her fighting spirit-sucking constitution. Ranma: This way, if I'm a girl, she won't know who I really am... Ranma: Mixing in, even if I touch her... Ranma: It's not mashing!! Ranma: Kyah--, I stumbled--!! p.107 Akane: If you want to touch it so badly... Akane: Make do with your own--!! Ranma: Kyah--, masher--!! Voice: Teacher, pass. Hinako: Wow--. Akane: Ah... Ranma: Getting away--!! Akane: Geez... Akane: That idiot Ranma--!! Ukyo: The ball's been handed off to the airhead!! Shampoo: Make it look like you're trying to steal the ball, and knock her down.
