He is Ranma of the Saotome School of Anything Goes Martial Arts.
She is Akane of the Tendo Dojo.
The two of them are now engaged due to their parents' decision.
Why you…
It's irritating.
And Ranma has a problem.
What the hell are you do--
He transforms into a girl when he's splashed with water.
RANMA1/2
IT'S FAST OR IT'S FREE
Tatewaki.
Tatewaki-senpai.
Oh, it's the pigtailed girl and Akane Tendo.
Today, you must choose…
which one of us you like.
I like both--
You need to…
choose…
-Only one of us! -Only one of us!
P-chan.
TENDO DOJO
Pardon me.
Akane Tendo, I came to give you my answer to this morning's question.
This morning's question? What are you talking about?
Yo, Tatewaki-senpai. What's up?
Ranma, you bastard. Your training isn't over yet.
You're freaking heavy.
That's 'cause you were distracted!
You baldy!
Well, anyway…
I was already thinking that I needed to make it clear which one of you I like.
Here, accept these roses, the symbol of love.
Dad, pass.
I'm not asking you to be my girlfriend.
I'd be troubled if you do.
Rather than the pigtailed girl,
whom I don't know where nor when I might see her,
I realized that I love you, who is constantly by my side.
Looks like you can meet her, Tatewaki-senpai.
The pigtailed girl.
It's impossible to choose after all!
What's he talking about?
No idea.
All right, let's do this.
The both of you will come visit my home next Sunday.
And I will date the one who arrives first.
All right. It's decided.
Forgive me, both of you.
I have no choice but to do it this way.
What kind of stupid sleep-talking is that, you bastard?
I'll be waiting.
CAT CAFÉ
Oh, the Miss Martial Arts Delivery Race?
It's a battle between women?
Yep. The one who delivers the food to the designated house first wins.
Why don't you enter?
Well, let's see…
If you win, you become the chairperson of the shopping plaza for a year.
You get to manage the plaza's events and you'll get lots more customers.
There's no reason not to do it.
Here's your mixed ramen.
That's nice, but Shampoo is
a skilled and battle-hardened veteran.
Here's your mixed vegetable ramen and fried rice.
Are you sure it's fine for her to participate?
It's no fun when it's obvious I will win.
Well, you don't have to worry, we've got a really strong delivery girl too.
It's not that easy of a race to win, you know.
TENDO DOJO
She's the strongest martial arts delivery girl?
Yep. She's won every race since she started competing in it.
So all the restaurants are trying to woo her.
Thank you for the food.
No, it was my pleasure.
Delicious. We'll represent the eel restaurant this year.
Yes!
Why are you eating this too?
It's fine, isn't it? Who cares?
Then you compete in my place.
You're a freeloader after all.
Only women can enter, right?
WE GET A YEAR'S WORTH OF RAMEN IF YOU WIN.
Well, well, well, what an energetic young lady.
You'll give me my share of ramen too, right?
DELIVERY RACE
Wow. You look good in that.
EEL
-Yup, yup. -Really?
I'm counting on you to win this year too, Akane.
Dad, this will be the final year you can use your daughter like this.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll win. Right, Akane?
Ranma, I knew you'd enter.
Well, this will help me kill time.
Shampoo.
-Great Grandma. -Got it?
Use this chance to take my son-in-law into your hands.
I know.
We'll give him a real taste of how great Cat Café's special delivery arts is.
Old hag?
Thank you all for your patience.
DELIVERY LOCATION CANDIDATES
It's time to start the Miss Martial Arts Delivery Race.
The commentary for this year's race is brought to you by
yours truly, Ichiro of the Furinkan Broadcast Club.
To win this race, contestants must be the first
to deliver their dish to the location that's chosen by lottery.
There are no rules. Interference is allowed.
Any form of transportation is fine.
However, they must deliver the food
in an edible state!
Now let me introduce the contestants to look out for in this year's race.
First is the traditional delivery girl,
Tsuyuko Sarashina of soba spot Chojuan!
This daredevil racer is Mawaru Koguruma, representing Buono Pizzeria!
This great new rookie is ramen restaurant Daikanki's own Ranma Saotome.
The undefeated queen we all know! The ultimate martial arts delivery girl!
This year, she's competing for eel restaurant Kabayoshi, Akane Tendo!
And finally, the dark horse!
The Chinese girl with unfathomable skills, Shampoo from Chinese restaurant Cat Café!
She's so cute!
With many other strong competitors,
it seems the fight for first place will be fiercer than ever this year!
Now let's choose the delivery destination!
The Arai-style lottery wheel is spinning slowly.
The destination has just been randomly drawn!
Turn your heads and look over there!
All the beautiful delivery girls will be rushing to that lucky home!
The race is about to begin.
All right! The no-rules Miss Martial Arts Delivery Race
is off to a great start!
Ranma! Let's make a bet.
If I win, you'll go on a date with me.
A date?
This race will just end up being a fight between me and you, anyway.
Did you forget someone?
I'm going to win!
I heard there's no rules to this race and I can interfere as much as I want.
Oh no! The insides of the delivery box turned into a mess!
Chojuan's Tsuyuko Sarashina is disqualified!
Wow, that's incredible.
What a terrifying skill.
It's my hereditary secret technique, the "Delivery Box Flip-Over."
Even my son-in-law is no match for Shampoo in this Martial Arts Delivery Race.
Hah. How cocky. It wouldn't be any fun without your tricks.
We're going on a date if I win, okay?
A date or whatever, I'll do it.
Ranma!
No way!
Wait, Ranma! Fight me!
Geez, he gives in so easily to their taunts.
MARTIAL ARTS DELIVERY RACE FINISH POINT!
Akane Tendo. Pigtailed girl.
Who will be the first to jump into my arms?
I really can't give up on either of them!
However, I must go out with the winner!
Forgive me! Forgive me!
Congratulations!
Your home was chosen as the destination for the Miss Martial Arts Delivery Race!
You idiot!
Who said I'd go out with you?
Ranma! Do you hate the idea of going on a date with me that much?
What are ya sayin'?
If you want a date, then come and flip my ramen bowl.
Just kidding.
I knew it…
I knew you didn't want to go on a date with me.
Stupid, stupid. This isn't something to cry about!
Cat! Cat! It's a cat!
You awake now?
The ramen!
I can still catch it!
So unfair!
-Ramen! The ramen! -I helped you out, you know!
That was close!
As if I'd let you win!
Your delivery is here!
-Hey, I'm here! -Ni hao!
Oh! What just happened?
Unbelievable. All three arrived at the same time!
Why is Tatewaki here?
Dunno.
It's time for the grand finale of the Miss Martial Arts Delivery Race!
Since the three ladies all arrived at the same time,
the winner will be decided by a special tiebreaker.
Akane Tendo, pigtailed girl,
I believed you would come,
but I didn't realize you both have such strong feelings about me--
-Have you… -Lost your mind?
There's only one rule to the tiebreaker.
Whoever gets Mr. Kuno, who was just blasted away,
to eat their dish first, wins!
-What? -Darn it!
Now, let the final race begin!
It's my win.
You want to date me too?
Like I'd let you!
You're gonna eat my ramen!
I've decided. I'll date you.
I'm not asking you out.
Okay, okay.
Here, Tatewaki-senpai. It's eel.
-Okay, I'll eat it. -I won't let you!
I'm going to win. And go on a date with Ranma.
I won't let you interfere.
Martial Arts Delivery Special Attack, Chow Mein Strike.
What?
Wow! The yakisoba is extending out like it's a snake! This is…
Cat Café's signature hand-made chewy noodles.
Once it wraps around your face, it can't be removed no matter what you do.
If you don't want to suffocate…
Pigtailed girl.
You risked your life to save…
I'll save you by eating the yakisoba right now!
Ranma! Hurry and eat it up!
I expected no less, Ranma. You're a tough one.
What?
This is…
Welcome to the Kuno family's underground dojo.
If you all love me this much, then whomever I don't pick will be upset.
In that case, there is only one solution.
We will all live happily together here--
You're wide open!
Ranma, catch it!
Guess I have no choice.
Meow.
No more eel. Akane is disqualified.
How dare you…
Go home with your tail between your legs.
Hey… Akane…
Shampoo…
I'll turn you into a cat!
Stop it!
Tatewaki-senpai, water!
Use as much as you need.
What great joy!
Ranma, you're protecting me, aren't you?
Stupid Ranma!
Why are you defending Shampoo?
What do you mean why? You--
The three girls are now in a love squabble.
This is quite the unusual development!
Let's go far away like this and have our date.
Get a grip already! What the hell are you thinking?
So what? Why are you on Shampoo's side?
Akane got dumped.
Calm down, ladies.
Please stop fighting over me--
Who the hell would fight over you?
Cat! A cat! It's a cat!
Ouch.
I've lost my yakisoba!
What a tragedy. Now we can't go on a date…
Hey, hey, hey--
Anyway, put this on.
Will you go on a date with me if I wear it?
Hey. You.
Ranma Saotome!
How dare you act so disgracefully and shamelessly in my home.
Divine punishment!
Tatewaki-senpai.
Here.
Akane Tendo, thank you for your assistance.
Here I come, you shameless bastard!
Shut up!
The situation's gotten complicated all because you won't obediently eat this.
What nonsense.
I, Tatewaki Kuno, would never obediently eat something you give!
He doesn't know boy and girl Ranma are the same person?
I'll get rid of that soggy, silly ramen first!
Strike, strike, strike, strike!
Special Delivery Strike,
Puppet Grip!
Now I'll make you eat this.
You didn't notice, you fool?
Even if I can't move my arms,
as long as I don't open my mouth, you can never make me eat that!
And yet your mouth is wide open.
The ramen!
The ramen just entered Mr. Kuno's mouth!
So the winner is…
Gro… Gross…
Oh, no! Not good! He didn't eat it!
It doesn't count! It doesn't count!
PUSH
This is…
What just happened?
-What? -A column of hot water?
Aren't you the pigtailed girl?
I've missed you!
Oh! Ranma Saotome came out of that hot water column!
Plus there's still some ramen in her bowl!
But… But it…
He must eat it in order for her to win the race…
Here…
Pigtailed girl…
He's eating it.
This is the moment the long battle has finally come to an end!
The winner of this year's Miss Martial Arts Delivery Race is
ramen restaurant Daikanki's Ranma Saotome!
Yahoo!
Mr. Kuno, how was the ramen?
A delicacy. Love is the best seasoning.
Congratulations on your victory. What's the reason behind your win?
I guess, it's love?
