Ranma 1/2 by Takahashi Rumiko Volume 28 Translated By a Fan, For the Fans Distributed by the MANGA MILITIA ----------------------------- p.4 Summary of the story until now: The kempo expert Saotome Genma, who uses the Saotome school of indiscriminate fighting, made a "vow" long ago to his wife, Nodoka, and went on a study trip with his young son Ranma. That "vow" was "to raise Ranma to be a man among men." Also, it was even the intention of "if I don't succeed, father and son together will commit seppuku (NOTE: the proper word for what is commonly (and incorrectly) referred to as "harakiri");" deliberately writing that up, he went on his journey. However, the studies of the Saotome father and son ended in the tragic result that, whenever they are covered in water, the father shape-changes into a panda, and the son Ranma similarly shape-changes into a girl. Therefore, Genma and Ranma can't show themselves in front of Nodoka...!!

Akane: Isn't it good, Ranko-chan? Ranma: It's NOT good. Nodoka: Phew... I wonder when Ranma will come back...? Akane: Ma'am... You want to see Ranma, don't you? Nodoka: He's my only son. Nodoka: I want to meet Ranma, who's been raised to be manly, soon... p.8 Akane: Ranma, you... Shouldn't you cut it out and tell your mother who you really are?

Nodoka: Y-Yes, thank you... Nodoka: What's your name...? Boy: I'm not a person who can give my name. Boy: Bye. Nodoka: What a manly boy... Nodoka: Oh... Nodoka: That boy just now dropped this... p.13 Nodoka: Hah! Nodoka: Th-This is... Akane: What could be the matter with her? Her expression changed... Nodoka: U-Um... Boy: Hm? Boy: What, the woman from a little while ago? Nodoka: This... Boy: Ah! Boy: This is my important secret message! Boy: Oh, good... p.14 Nodoka: U-Um... That deed a little while ago... Boy: That...? Boy: The Saotome school of indiscriminate fighting, Yamasen-ken. Ranma: The S-Saotome school of indiscriminate fighting...? Nodoka: S-So, if so, your name... Boy: Saotome Ranma. p.15 Ranma: HUH?? Nodoka: Ra... Nodoka: Ranma--! You've gotten manly--!! Boy: Eh? Nodoka: You don't remember me, because we were separated when you were small. I'm your mother. Boy: Eh...? p.16 Boy: Mother!! Nodoka: Ranma--!! Ranma: Wha... Ranma: What do you mean--? Nodoka: The POOR tenement house where we lived long ago was torn down, so I started over here... You don't remember, do you. Boy: Because I was a baby. p.17 Ranma: That jerk, using my name to get into my mother's house... Ranma: Who in the world is he? Ranma: Hm? You've come, Dad. Genma: I heard the story. Nodoka: Oh, Ranma. Nodoka: Now that you mention it... Nodoka: What happened to Father? You went on a study trip together... Boy: Yeah... Boy: (2) Father is dead. Nodoka: Ehh?! p.18 Nodoka: Oh, yes, will you have some rice crackers? Boy: Yeah. Genma: What's with that simple reaction? Ranma: I-Idiot, be quiet... Boy: There you are--?!! Nodoka: Oh, what's the matter, Ranma? Boy: Nothing... p.19 Boy: Hmph... Boy: I'm lucky... Boy: By giving my name as one related to the Saotome school... Boy: After I've gotten into the Saotome house... Boy: I'll look for the other secret message that shows how to oppose the Saotome school'sYamasen-ken... Ranma: Hey. p.20 Ranma: Who are you? Boy: Who are YOU? Ranma: It doesn't matter who I am. Come outside. p.21 Part 2 - Umisen-ken and Yamasen-ken p.22 Boy: I don't know what nobody YOU are, but do you think you can pick a fight with me, SaotomeRanma, and come away unharmed? Ranma: Saotome Ranma...? p.23 Boy: Mother! Nodoka: Ranma--! Ranma: Using my name, and deceiving my mother!! Ranma: Unforgivable!! p.24 Boy: DON'T MOVE!! Boy: Fierce Tiger, Opening Gates Blow!! Ranma: Grrr! p.25 Boy: Sheesh!! Boy: You can't dodge my Saotome school Yamasen-ken in a paper suit. Ranma: Heh, what's a Yamasen-ken!! Ranma: Scaring people with a loud voice? Ranma: It's ridiculous to use the name of the Saotome school fraudulently!! Boy: Oh. Boy: Oh. p.26 Ranma: Gotcha!! Nodoka: Could it be a cat fight? Nodoka: Ah...? p.27 Ranma: Uh-oh. Ranma: My mother... Boy: My chance! Boy: Poison Snake Deep Hole Blow!! Ranma: D-Damn... p.28 Boy: Wah! Boy: A smokescreen?! Boy: Sheesh. Boy: Ran away...? Nodoka: Ranma... Boy: Mother. Nodoka: What happened? Nodoka: Just now, with somebody... Boy: Probably a thief. I beat him up. p.29 Ranma: It's ridiculous to use the name of the Saotome school fraudulently!! Boy: That jerk... Someone related to the Saotome school? Genma: You were an idiot, underestimating him... Genma: He very nearly pulled out your heart. Ranma: Dad... Ranma: Do you know the "Yamasen-ken"...? Genma: Of course I know it; it's an art that I invented. Ranma: What...? p.30 Genma: Because it was too violent, it's an art that I must have sealed up... Genma: I don't know how the rascal got his hands on the secret message with the Yamasen-ken, but... Ranma: Why is he pretending to be me, at my mother's house...? Genma: His objective is probably the secret message of the Umisen-ken, which is the opposite of theYamasen-ken. Ranma: Umisen-ken? Ranma: Where is that secret message...? Genma: If it's been kept and not thrown away... p.31 Genma: Your mother must have it. Ranma: An art of the Saotome school... Ranma: Ma'am--! Ranma: I can't stand to let a guy like that have it!! Nodoka: Oh, come in, Ranko-chan. Nodoka: Have you come to eat with me today? Nodoka: It'll be delicious, because Ranma's come back. Ranma: Never mind that, Ma'am... Ranma: Ranko wants to see the Umisen-ken secret message. Nodoka: Umisen-ken? p.32 Nodoka: What's that? Ranma: Eh...? Boy: Shit, I can't find it! Narration: The Umisen-ken and the Yamasen-ken are opposite sides of the same coin. Narration: (Points to Yamasen-ken secret message) Narration: They say that investigating the two secrets can become a perfect art. Boy: The secret message of the Umisen-ken... Somehow I will secretly search it out!! p.33 Nodoka: Ranma, it's time to eat. Boy: WAH--!! Nodoka: Well, it can't be helped, being all scattered like this... Pick it up properly later. Boy: Y-Yes. Ranma: He's a conspicuously noisy person, isn't he. Nodoka: You are a boy, after all. Boy: Good, I wasn't found out. Ranma: Why wasn't he found out? Nodoka: Ranko-chan, when dinner's over, let's get into the bath together, OK? Ranma: Eek! Ranma: I just remembered some urgent business, goodbye. Nodoka: Eh? p.34 Nodoka: Oh, yes. Nodoka: Ranma, go after Ranko-chan. Nodoka: Give her this ribbon. Nodoka: I bought it because I thought it would look good on Ranko-chan. Boy: Sheesh. Boy: Not here any more... Boy: What a fast-moving girl. Boy: Hm? Boy: Who is she...? Boy: That way of moving... Boy: She's not just anybody!! p.35 Ranma: In that state, mother really doesn't know about the Umisen-ken. Ranma: Well, where in the world is the secret message?! Genma: You're back, Ranma? Ranma: Damn it... p.36 Ranma: Why do I, her true son, have to run away from my mother? Genma: That's an unspoken promise, Ranma. Ranma: I didn't make that kind of promise!! Boy: Wha... Boy: The guy from yesterday!! Boy: Could he be the genuine Saotome Ranma?! Boy: What in the world's going on?! p.37 Part 3 - Ranma vs Ranma p.38 Akane: Domineered by a fake again?! Akane: You've got to settle it by telling your mother who you really are! Ranma: Shut up. Ranma: That fake guy... Ranma: I won't be satisfied unless I beat him with my own hands!! Student: Deh?! Student: Th-The blackboard... Ranma: Hm?! p.39 Student: Wha?! Akane: The fake Ranma! p.40 Boy: Hey, real one. Ranma: Wha... Boy: I don't know what the circumstances are, but... Boy: It seems you can't tell your mother who you really are. p.41 Ryu: My real name is Kumon Ryu. Ryu: I'll just get you to remember that I'm the guy who WAS the inheritor of the Kumon Dohjoh. Ranma: Kumon...? Ryu: Shall I destroy your mother by telling her that you're her real son? Ranma: Y-You... Ranma: I'll kill you!! Ryu: Heh! p.42 Ranma: You fell like running away?!! Ryu: Because I failed to stop you the other day, let's settle it. Ranma: If I win, I'll have you get out of my mother's house. Ranma: All right?! Ryu: Heh... Ryu: Don't you have great self-confidence? p.43 Ranma: Because I've already seen through your Yamasen-ken!! Ryu: Oho. Ranma: In the Yamasen-ken, all of the first yells are... Balloon: DON'T MOVE!! Ranma: It's extremely simple after you've stopped your opponent's moves with a loud voice. Ranma: Punching in after forcibly prying open your opponent's guard, namely, an art of pure strength... p.44 Ryu: Indeed... If you've seen through that far... Ryu: AH - MOTHER!! Ranma: Wha...? Ranma: Hah! p.45 Ranma: This jerk!! Ryu: Gold Cord Tight Binding Soar!! Ranma: Uh?! Ryu: I'll show you the terror of arts of pure strength! p.46 Ryu: Welcome Gate Iron Fan Fingers!! Ranma: Ah... Ryu: Hmph. Ryu: In comparison, the real Saotome Ranma can't bite back. Ryu: Hey. Ryu: Why don't you fight with the Umisen-ken? Ranma: Umi... sen... ken... p.47 Genma: The Umisen-ken and the Yamasen-ken are two sides of the same coin; however... Genma: The Umisen-ken is a higher art. Ranma: Teach me the Umisen-ken! I'll beat the guy! Genma: I mustn't teach you. Genma: The Umisen-ken, the same as the Yamasen-ken, is an evil art that should be sealed up. Genma: As soon as I find the secret message, I'll burn it!! Ryu: Don't you know? Or haven't you investigated it...? Ryu: Whichever is fine. Ryu: Until I get my hands on the Umisen-ken, I'll take the son's place. Ranma: Grrr... Ryu: Don't go near your mother's house. Ryu: I'll tell her what you really are. p.48 Ranma: * pant, pant * Ranma: * pant * Ranma: (2) D-Damn it... Nodoka: Ranko-chan... Nodoka: Isn't it Ranko-chan?! Nodoka: What happened?! Ranma: Mother... p.49 Nodoka: You're hurt!! Nodoka: And covered with dirt... Nodoka: Come to my house, I'll give you first aid... Ranma: Ma'am... Ranma: For just a little while... Ranma: I don't think I can see you... Nodoka: Eh...? Nodoka: Ah... p.50 Ranma: Don't worry. Ranma: Because I'll come visit you again soon. Nodoka: Ranko-chan...? Ranma: The Umisen-ken is a higher art... Ranma: An art superior to the Yamasen-ken! p.51 Sign: Tendoh Dohjoh Genma: (2) K-Kumon Dohjoh?! Akane: Yes, certainly he... Ryu: My real name is Kumon Ryu. Ryu: The man who WAS the inheritor of the Kumon Dohjoh... Genma: (2) Wha-What a twist of fate... p.52 Ranma: DAD!! Soun: Ranma, those wounds... Akane: By that Ryu guy...?! Genma: Do you have the confidence to beat the guy using the Umisen-ken, Ranma...? Ranma: I've gotten to feel like learning it, damned old man. p.53 Part 4 - Special Study!! Umisen-ken p.54 Genma: Originally, the evil art of the Saotome school Umisen-ken, which had to be sealed... Genma: I will dare to initiate you into its mysteries. Genma: I won't teach it to you but once. Ranma: Once should be enough. Soun: Sealing even us out of the dohjoh... Sign: Don't Peek! - Saotome Genma Akane: It really is an art forbidden outside the family, isn't it. p.55 Genma: If the Yamasen-ken is a hard art, with large movements and forcibly dependent on strength... Genma: The Umisen-ken is the art of softness. Genma: Smaller... Quieter... Genma: It requires higher technical skill. Genma: Now, then... Come at me from anywhere. p.56 Soun: Hm?! Soun: From inside the dohjoh... Soun: All signs of Saotome have disappeared?! Ranma: This posture... Ranma: Just like a ghost... Ranma: Go, Dad!! p.57 Ranma: Eh...?! Genma: Please take care of Ranma's first aid... Soun: It's already over?!! Akane: Ranma...!! p.58 Akane: R-Ranma!! Soun: Th-This is... Akane: His clothes are in shreds... Soun: Right down to one pair of underpants?! p.59 Genma: The mystery of the Umisen-ken, that is... Genma: Smaller... Quieter... Ranma: I'll understand it... Ranma: No matter what... I'll take back my mother! Genma: The history between me and the Kumon Dohjoh...? Akane: But... Ryu: My real name is Kumon Ryu. Ryu: The man who WAS the inheritor of the Kumon Dohjoh... Akane: Why didn't Ryu inherit his dohjoh? Genma: Phew... Genma: The reason is extremely simple. p.60 Genma: Because my Yamasen-ken, ended up erasing the Kumon Dohjoh itself from this world. Soun: Wh-What?!! Soun: To bury one school of fighting from this world... Genma: For that Kumon Dohjoh... Genma: There COULDN'T have been an inheritor... Voice: Ryu! Voice: Search for the secret message of the Umisen-ken! p.61 Voice: Umisen-ken, Yamasen-ken... If one understands both arts, even reconstruction of the dohjohwon't be a dream. Voice: All... right...? Ryu: Father, Father--!! Ryu: Even though I've searched the house, I can't find it. And if so... Nodoka: Ranma--. Nodoka: Dinner time--. Ryu: I'm very sorry, but... Ryu: There's nothing to do but throttle a confession out of you...? p.62 Nodoka: What's the matter, Ranma? Ryu: Sheesh - I'm still a naive kid, too. Nodoka: Oh, that feels good. Thank you, Ranma. Akane: Oh, Ranma... Akane: Even though you should have been lying down... Voice: Akane--, get in the bath. Akane: Ye--s. p.63 Akane: That rascal Ranma... Akane: I wonder if he went out to practise? Akane: My underwear's been replaced by vegetables...?! Akane: This one, too! Akane: In my desk, too... p.64 Akane: It's your doing--?!! Ranma: Sheesh - Discovered? Soun: Well, then, shall I read the news? Kasumi: Where's Ranma? Nabiki: Who knows? Akane: The floorboards... Soun: Taken out by the roots... p.65 Genma: Ranma! Genma: Although he's my son, he's a dreadful rascal!! Genma: By just making him eat that trick once... Genma: He's splendidly seen through the real nature of the Umisen-ken?!! Akane: Wh-Which means, these are all... Soun: Special teachings of the Umisen-ken!! Nabiki: A hundred thousand problems caused. Akane: It certainly is an evil art. Soun: Seal it up again at once. Akane: Geez... Akane: Can he beat Ryu with that kind of special instruction? Ranma: Akane. p.66 Akane: Ranma?! Where are you?! Ranma: I'm in the middle of practicing the Umisen-ken. Ranma: The truth is, I have a favor to ask you... Akane: All right. Akane: All right, Ranma, so... Show your face for a minute. Ranma: What? Akane: Ranma... p.67 Akane: Fight hard, Ranma. Because I'm supporting you. Ranma: Yeah... Ranma: Akane... Akane: But... Akane: I'd like to get you to choose the time and place of your practicing more carefully! Akane: So, what's this favor? I'll cooperate. Ranma: No, therefore... p.68 Akane: Good day, Ma'am. Nodoka: Oh, Akane. Ryu: That girl is certainly... Ryu: The girl who was by the real Ranma's side... Nodoka: What's the matter, Ranma? Isn't it your fiance Akane? Ryu: Eh?? Fiance?? p.69 Part 5 - A Letter From Mother p.70 Nodoka: Well, Ranma, it's your fiance Akane. Ryu: She's come to reveal who I really am... Akane: It's been a long time. Ryu: Oho... Ryu: Can't be that... p.71 Ryu: Yo, Akane. Ryu: You've gotten more and more cute while I haven't seen you. Nodoka: Well, "three's a crowd," so I'll disappear. Ranma, your mother's going shopping for a littlewhile. Akane: Bye--! Ryu: So... Ryu: What did you come here to do? Akane: This... Akane: It's a challenge letter I'm delivering for the real Ranma. Ryu: A duel tomorrow morning at 5 a.m...? p.72 Letter: This is a fight with the Saotome school's Umisen-ken. Letter: Namely, I myself am the living secret message of the Umisen-ken. Letter: If I lose, the Umisen-ken is yours. However... Letter: If you lose, I'll have the Yamasen-ken sealed up, too. Ryu: Hmph - Interesting. Ryu: A duel betting both arts? Akane: That and one more thing. p.73 Akane: Playing with my mother's heart for the Umisen-ken, I absolutely won't forgive it! Akane: I'll pay that back in full in the duel!! Akane: He asked me to tell you that. Nodoka: Having a lively talk? Nodoka: I came back from shopping at full speed. Akane: I-I see... Ryu: ...I didn't notice... p.74 Nodoka: Eh? Akane, you're going back already? Akane: Because my business is finished... Nodoka: Oh, yes. Nodoka: Well... Nodoka: This letter... Nodoka: I want you to give it to Ranko-chan. Nodoka: Because she wasn't well when I saw her before... Nodoka: I wonder why, and I'm worried about that girl... Akane: Ma'am... p.75 Akane: Thank you, Ma'am. Nodoka: Eh...? Akane: (2) I think Ran... ko-chan will be glad. Akane: I'm home. Where's Ranma? Kasumi: He's probably still practising the Umisen-ken... There's no sign of him. Akane: Where could he be? p.76 Akane: I told you not to practise in a person's room for no reason. Ranma: From my mother? Akane: She was worried about you. Letter: Ranko-chan, how are you? Letter: You won't let me see you, so I'm lonely. p.77 Letter: Please come and visit again. Ranma: Mother... Ranma: Hm?! Ranma: Wh-What's this?! Ranma: This envelope... Ranma: The writing on the back... Ranma: Th-This is the secret message with the Umisen-ken! Akane: Ehh?! p.78 Akane: What does it mean?! But that letter was to Ranko-chan...

Because soon the Umisen-ken will be mine. Nodoka: For you... Nodoka: You have some great objective as a martial artist, don't you? Ryu: Eh...? Nodoka: And your fight now, is to further that objective...? Nodoka: I know the signs when a man goes to fight. Nodoka: Because I'm the wife of a martial artist. p.88 Nodoka: Go, thinking that you are in the right. Nodoka: If that's something you can be proud of... p.89 Ryu: I'm going now to beat up your son. Nodoka: Go, thinking that you are in the right. If that's something you can be proud of... Ryu: Heh...

Soun: ...is the strong art of kicking in the door from the front! Soun: Opposing that, Ranma's Umisen-ken...

Ranma: Have you come to understand it a little? The Umisen-ken... p.109 Ryu: I've understood. At least, the weak point of the Umisen-ken... Ranma: Wha--t? Akane: Uncle, does the Umisen-ken have some weak point? Genma: Hmmm... Genma: If he's noticed that... Kumon Ryu... A dreadful man! Ranma: Interesting... Ranma: Won't you teach me that weak point? p.110 Ryu: I'm going to tell your mother what you're really like. Ryu: I found out when I was living with her. Ryu: That "Ranma" has to be manly.
