Ranma 1/2

Akane gets all sorts of magical power-ups, first when Shampoo feeds her some magical Chinese steamed treats, then from some soba noodles that give her super strength. What she didn't count on were the disastrous after-effects.

The search for the magical soap which offers a cure for the Jusenkyo curse continues; the malicious application of some strength-depleting a moxa (you know, that stuff the acupuncture types burn on their patients to relieve various sufferings) puts Ranma in an embarassing position; and finally, late-night training sessions in the wilds of Japan with Cologne (and Akane, and Ryoga) give Ranma the chance to learn his most powerful move yet...

Ranma at last manages to get off the Hiryu Shoten Ha, the "Heavenly Dragon Ascencion Wave" or "Dragon's Heaven-Blast," albeit without... certain... consequences; Shampoo attracts a new suitor by means of a twin-set bell; Akane takes swimming lessons from Principal Kuno, Furinkan High's own "Big Kahuna"; and finally, Genma (in his panda form) gets a new little friend... not to mention some pretty sweet free eats.

The "Mark of the Gods" (actually a doodle representing a school of martial-arts calligraphy) is now upon Ryoga, and the only way he can lose the doodle is to lose a fight - hopefully to Ranma!

The legendary Dragon's Whisker! Described by a reluctant Ranma as the "seal" that keeps something "terrible" from happening, four steamed little buns have come all the way from Qinghai Province, China, in search of it. But what can it be?! Ranma wants it... the martial-artist buns want it... Genma wants it. Ranma's really cutting it close, this time.

The theft of the "Visitor's Registry" from the Jusenkyo Guide in Qinghai Province is only the start of the tragedy for Ranma and the others... but, for the unfortunately named "Pantyhose Taro," it's going to be the end!

Arrogant swordsman Kuno is found with amnesia and a watermelon on his head... and all of a sudden he's stronger than Ranma! Can Ranma and Akane find out what happened to him... on an island inhabited by nothing but watermelons?

Akane's encounter with Shinnosuke, a mysterious boy from her childhood, brings new and pressing problems.

Can Ranma prevent his teacher, Miss Hinako, from stealing his "ki" and transforming into her grown-up, more dangerous form? More summer silliness comes when scheming Ukyo invites not just Ranma but Akane as well to a haunted seaside cave.

Ranma Saotome never thought a martial arts training mission to China would turn out like this! An accidental dunk in a cursed spring changes boy Ranma into a young girl every time he is splashed with cold water. Hot water reverses the effect - but only until next time!

Oh ho ho ho! Kodachi, Kunou's younger sister, seems to have taken a liking to Ranma! Unfortunately, she's completely crazy and will even go as far as to poison Ranma to win his affection. What's even worse, she's not at all fond of Ranma's female half... Poor Ranma, trouble just seems to follow him.

When the monk-in-residence of a faraway temple is only too eager to "give" Ranma, Genma and Soun a legendary martial-arts outfit said to endow its wearer with ultimate power, you'd think they'd know something is up. But then again, the monk did throw in such other lovely gifts...
