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?

Enter Ryoga! Having been snubbed by Ranma, he's out for some serious payback - and much like Ranma, has trained all his life in martial-arts technique. With lots and lots of brute strength, he could definitely cause problems for Ranma - but what could Ranma have possibly done that would make him hate him so?

When Genma took baby Ranma away from his mother to go on a decade long mission, he made her a solemn promise - that he would see to it that the boy grew up manly, or he would see them both dead of ritual seppuku! Well, Nodoka "Missus" Saotome has finally shown up at the Tendo Dojo doorstep.

Pantyhose Taro is gunning for Happosai with a vengeance. His weapon of choice is a special bottle of water from the Spring of the Pious Man at Jusenkyo, a cursed training ground. Unfortunately, there's a problem: the water has gotten its signals crossed. Instead of turning the old lecher into a good man, it creates twins! Can the occupants of the Tendo Dojo stop Pantyhose Taro from doubling his misery, and theirs?

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.
