Akane So, he's using the reflex action from the tree. p 122 Ryouga It doesn't work at all! Ryouga Ku..? p 123 Ranma It had some effect? g-grandma Using the reflex action from the tree shouldn't have that much effect. Ryouga You .... Akane This time without any reflex action. p 124 Akane This looks like one hit. But he's landing several hundred blows in one place! This should work!! g-grandma Is that so son? The speed that I've been teaching you. You've finally applied it. p 125 Ranma Did it finish him off..? g-grandma If this battle keeps on going, son will lose. Akane What.. Akane But it should be all over.. p 126 Ryouga It wouldn't be any fun if it wasn't like this. Ranma He's not human! Ryouga Hit me Ranma! Ryouga What happened.

I wanted to let Ryouga win so he can go out with Akane. Ranma Old woman. Ranma You taught a dangerous technique, Ranma To a simple minded guy like Ryouga! g-grandma Dangerous technique. g-grandma Do you mean the "Exploding Point Technique"? Ranma Ah! p 132 g-grandma Don't worry. The "Exploding Point Technique" was developed only for use in the construction and mining labor. g-grandma It doesn't work on humans. Are you listening son. Ryouga I'll admit defeat this time. Please take care of Akane. Ranma Weren't you going to give up on Akane, you pig? Akane Don't say such things. I'm glad P-chan came back to me.
