[Ranma 1/2] Ranma's Best Babe
Tony Chin
I'm just writing on who I think is the best girl out of Ranma's choices (I
personally think Kasumi the best looking in the series, but the only time
she could have been Ranma's choice was the first episode).
Ranking
4. Kodachi - Positives: She's rich. Semi-good looking.
Negatives: She is insane, Tatewaki's sister, she spikes
everything with sleeping potion, and lies.
3. Shampoo - Positives: She's cute and she can cook.
Negatives: Her voice. She's too pushy. She won't go away
when asked. Wanted to kill anyone in her way.
2. Akane - Positives: She's cute. Always willing to help and she cares.
Negatives: Too jealous. Can't cook. Gets upset easy.
1. Ukkyo - Positive: She's cute (looks like a mini kasumi). She can cook.
She owns her own business (Ranma can stay at home practicing
his martial arts all day and let her earn the money, what more
can a guy want!). She's faithful.
Negatives: Won't give up on Ranma when he doesn't like her
that way (what a fool he is).
Clearly, in Ranma's mind, the #1 is Akane. I'm just looking at it at a
practical stand point (okay, slightly biased. But there people who would
put Shampoo first, go figure).

>Ranking
100. Cologne - Positives: She can cook, knows a lot of martial arts, can
balance on a stick, petite.
Negativess: Looks like Happosai with long hair and no whiskers.

Another positive for Kodachi - She *never* tried to kill anyone.
> 3. Shampoo - Positives: She's cute and she can cook.
Ah, but have you ever seen Shampoo cook? (And the OVAs don't count, unless
they are in the manga... besides, in the Chirstmas OVA, you never saw the
results of her cooking) All I've ever seen shampoo do is serve the meal
and deliver it... Usually the delivery boy/girl and waiter/ess doesn't end
up being a cook... So... Can Shampoo really cook?

Akane's nice, ne?

How about Ukyou's dressing up as a guy? Is that a + or a -?

No-one who can see past Shampoo's body would put her at number one, ne?

I was just wondering if the two girls that are always talking to Akane at
school have names. Also, I was wondering do the two guys that are always
talking about how luckly Ranma is have names? Are all four of them just in
the anime or are they in the manga too?
Thanks in advance

Should be a +... Ranma could save money on clothes...
No, wait... nevermind. I suppose Ukyo and Ranma(-chan) could just
throw on whatever clothes they feel like wearing.

Is it a concidence that the same could be said for Ukyou and Konatsu?
(See volume 35 ff in the manga.)
So many people with different kinds of gender confusion...
Of course if we think back to vol 1 this was also an excuse used to
fob off Ranma on Akane (rather than the other sisters) in the first
place. ("You don't like boys".)
Ukyou also has a rather dominant personality which shows up in contrast
to Konatsu's submissiveness... which makes Ukyou/Konatsu a "better match"
than Ukyou/Ranma (or Ranma/Akane, by that criteria).

I vote for Nabiki... wow... you'll be rich after being on her
side... and I also thought that she was the most attractive without a
doubt... no competition... she's also the sexiest with the most slender
body!!!! *drool*
Kasumi would be nice, huh... can cook, obedient...
Shampoo would have undying love... or perhaps... tyotto...

I have to agree with you on Ukkyo. Although I think she is cuter than
Kasumi. She would be the best wife for Ranma. She does seem to be the
most stable of the girls in the show and we all know that poor Ranma isn't
that stable. And you forgot to rank Nabiki. I would place her ahead of
Akane simpily on the fact that she is much more accepting of Ranma
condition than Akane. Besides she could figure a way to use Ranma
condition to make lots of money. Come to think of it she has done that
a couple of times already.

Now you people are just getting sick.
What is it everyone has against Shampoo?!? I mean sure she's a little
"off." But life with her would be interesting and fun. Look at Akane
she's nothing. I mean name one thing about her that's good.
Sure she loves Ranma and he loves her. Really Ranma doesn't deserve
Shampoo (or the others).

over Cologne... what happens then?
Wouldn't Ranma be betrothed to Cologne. Or is there other
rules involved. Somehow there is more to the amazonian
marriage rules than meets the eye.

Okay... She's a bimbo... All looks and nothing else. She's selfish...
She doesn't care about anyone but herself. She doesn't care about Ranma,
or else she wouldn't totally ignore his happiness. She wants to kill
people. She's brain dead. She only wants to get into Ranma's pants. What
good is there in Shampoo? Fun? Only if you like being totally uncared

>she's nothing. I mean name one thing about her that's good.

What's good about Akane? She cares about people, even her enemies. She
tries to HELP her enemies, even after they attacked her. She tries to
find good in people. She's cute. She tries very hard to do things for
Ranma. She sacrifices her life for the one she loves. (Don't see Shampoo
doing that!) She doesn't try to murder people, too.
Ranma doesn't deserve Shampoo? That's true. Only someone like Happousai
(or Genma) deserves Shampoo. Let's lock them up in a padded cell together,
making sure none of them get out for the rest of their lives!!!

Hey, not _everything_...she spikes her brother's food with _real_ poison.
Which just goes to show: she might be dishonest, trecherous, deceitful,
and an all-around b<ahem>ad person...but at least she isn't a murderer.
Except where her brother's concerned. Oh well.

So can Kodachi. Besides, Shampoo's almost as free with the exotic
chemicals as Kodachi is. They just have different effects.

Only until Cologne showed up. She actually made an effort to avoid
killing poor, pathetic Akane...besides, who in Ranma 1/2 _does_ go away
when asked?
> 2. Akane - Positives: She's cute. Always willing to help and she cares.
True. Not very perceptive, though...

<ahem> I salute your marvelous taste in picking her as Ranma's best
choice...but methinks you've been playing too much Ranma: Hard Battle.
Her name is spelled Ukyou, or to go by Viz, Ukyo. At any rate, only one
"k" Not that you have to do what I say, I'm just spreading around my vast
store of knowledge...(sarcasm, just in case anybody thinks I was being
totally serious with that last bit and tries to flame me)

Ah yes, Ukyou-sama is wonderful...forgot to mention that her life does not
revolve around martial arts...something rare in Nerima...not to mention
her cheerfulness and niceness. Hmm...she has intellignece, as
well...something which is notably lacked by Kodachi and Shampoo and, to a
lesser extent, Akane.

Yeah...isn't he though...

Shampoo's character depth is limited to her bust size. Besides, Ranma
_does_ like Ukyou...if only as a friend. Sigh...what fools these mortals
be. Besides, Ryouga will treat her better. (In the manga, I support
Pantyhose Tarou; the two most intelligent teens [not including Nabiki]
together! Besides, she's too nice to make fun of his name...)

The guys are named Hiroshi and Daisuke. Hiroshi has brown hair (light
hair in manga), and Daisuke has black hair (dark hair in the manga).
The girls are named Yuka and Sayuri. Yuka has long hair, and Sayuri has
the short hair with ponytails.
Yes, they show up all the time in both the manga and anime.
Actually, it's a good thing that somebody asked this. I practically

No brains that she uses herself, all looks, not caring a thing about how
others feel, just as long as she's happy, a mind that she doesn't use,
only wants to get into bed with Ranma, etc. Bimbo = Shampoo.

Like none of us have ever thought that? But Ranma-chan would probably
be just as violent as Akane if you tried to do anything with her.
Don't forget Ranma it Mikado 501 times just for kissing him while in
girl-type. Imagine how many times for anything else! (Kuno felt as
felt him up a couple times...I don't understand how he is still
breathing!)
So how many would be brides did Ranma end up with anyway???
vi...@nicole.upd.edu.ph
Nabiki for sure. After all, she's rich, beautiful, sexy...
...Although she'd be the worst girl to take out on a date. You'll be
washing dishes for the rest of your life after just one date with this
babe.
Ukkyo, on the other hand...

But then why does Shampoo chase after Ranma. Ukyou would
DEFINATELY have the first service above shampoo, Ranma beat her
many-a-time and was betrothed to her. and Akane has some
rights which fill in the times that ukyou doesn't.
Somethings fishy here.
And about my principles. The hidden agenda is to get people
thinking about them... Not a very hidden hidden agenda.
I do this for the love of god and for the love of man hoping
that somebody will look at them say: HEY he's right and change

While no one would actually credit Ranma with a quick mind (or a mind at all in
some cases), he is smart enough to figure out that life with Kodachi wouldn't
be life at all. In fact it would be a life sentence. Just look how she acts
while she's only his 'girl-friend/fiend.` Marriage would only make things
worse (and believe me, they can always get worse).
As for negatives, you forgot: tendency to distort reality to suit her wishes,
as far as we know, inability to cook without adding something to the mixture,
and long monologues of insane laughter.

Some people like Shampoo, others don't. Personally I think she never had a
chance at Ranma. Other then the fact Ranma was too busy to be interested in
girls before the infamous 'pick your fiancee' routine, Shampoo is a little too
cold hearted and brings a lot of baggage into a relationship.
Or, more correctly, brings an old bag by the name of Cologne into the
relationship. As well, the knowledge that you'll be growing old together with
someone who will eventually look like Cologne is enough to scare most men away.

Without Akane, it is likely that Ukyou might have gotten Ranma, but so what?
Withough Godai, Mitaka would have gotten Kyoko. Without Kyoko, Godai would
have gotten Kosei-chan (sp). Or, (heaven forbid) Yagami would have gotten
Godai.
As for the positives, they all exist in Akane in some form or another.
1. Akane's cute. (Whole stories are related around this fact.)
2. While Akane can't cook now (other then to create biohazards), she is
learning and has in fact produced edible food by herself (Vol. 25).
3. If Ranma marries Akane, he gets the Dojo and can practice all he wants
there.
4. Akane's faithful. A little _too_ faithful perhaps (as it has a tendency to
slide over into jealousy. But so what, Ranma's almost as bad).
>
>Clearly, in Ranma's mind, the #1 is Akane. I'm just looking at it at a

Others to consider:
1. Nabiki.
Although I personally worship the ground she walks on and consider her by far
the cutest, we've seen what happens when Ranma and Nabiki were engaged. While
life for Ranma would unquestionally be interesting, I don't think he'd really
be all that happy. I think he's gotten used to running his own life...I'm not
too sure he'd like to find out that he doesn't have any say in anything
anymore.
2. Kasumi.
Sure she'd make a great wife, but a boring one too.
eg:
Ranma: "I'm home! Did you miss me, dear?"
Kasumi: "Not at all. I was so busy: I put out the wash, cleaned the dojo and
made dinner. How was your day?"
Ranma: [giving her a long look] "I've been gone six days tracking down a
martial artist who stuck me in girl form."
Kasumi: "That's nice dear. Did you bring anything back?"
3. Azusa.
Let's be serious here people. The only way she'd ever make it is if it was a
choice between her and Kodachi. In one case its death by love. The other is
love by death. Take your pick.
When it comes right down to it, Akane and Ranma are so well matched personality
wise that they just had to get together eventually. Besides, after 38 volumes,
we'd have all gone more insane then we are if they broke up.

Extremely.(Even though Ranma's in denial) She's also faithful, trusting,

Wonder who this guy's fave is?

Well, towards the end of the series, she doesn't do that nearly as much,

The "amazons" in question are a warrior society. No doubt the marriage
rule is in place in the interest of producing strong children. Somehow I
get the impression that Cologne is post-menopausal (being in her hundreds
will do that to a woman), and very probably immune to that law.

I'm not sure I'd say she's more accepting of ranma's condition. First
off, she's not the one engaged to him, so it doesn't affect her
reputation. Second, she hasn't excepted it, she's exploited it. there's
a difference. and third, let's not discount akane's own acceptance of
the curse. She hardly pays attention to it accept when it's pointed out,
and she has said in the past(Movie #2) that she likes ranma fine the way
he is.

Hey, give the guy a break! It's not easy trying to pitch woo when

(RE anything negative about Kasumi: Well, there WAS that scene where
proper Kasumi, trying to discourage Akane from her tomboyish behavior,
said "If you don't act more ladylike, Dr. Tofu will come to dislike
you." I mean, stab your sister in the heart, why don't you! Of course,

Hm. I've never SEEN her cook, but she DID say she made the lunch she
served Ranma back in the "Akane gets Shampooed" episode. You know, the
lunch where she lifted the lid and there, on a bed of veggies, is what
appears to be a thoroughly deceased and cooked P-Chan. Thereby almost
giving both Ranma and Akane heart attacks. Of course since Ryouga was
NOT dead or cooked, it DOES make you wonder about her cooking abilities.

In the OVA(Original Video Animation) series, we can find Sayuri and Yuka.

Since when did Ranma get engaged to Shampoo? AFAIK, Genma's never
accepted anything from Shampoo or Cologne.
At least in Nettoohen, Genma accepted a dowry for Kodachi (right
in front of Sooun!). Once, Ranma and Genma actually lived with
Kodachi in the Kunoo manshion. They never shacked up at Nekohanten,
AFAIK.

Ranma defeated Shampoo in a martial arts contest, in female form. Under
Shampoo's Amazonian code, defeat by another female meant she then had to
kill her opponent (to regain her honour I guess). But under the same code,
if Shampoo was defeated by a male, she had to marry him.
So when she found out that Ranma was (mostly!) male, she became his
self-appointed fiancee...

As a Nabiki fan, I think you seriously misjudge Nabiki-sama.
First off, if you weren't financially secure (and bloody rich) in the first place,
you'd not have a chance with her.
Second, once she had you legally tied down by marriage, she'd use every
means within her power to wrest that cash from your hands into hers. Before
you'd even realize it, you'd be out in the gutter (unless she decided to keep
you around for her personal pleasure) and she'd be sitting pretty.
That is what I envision happening to Kuno-chan someday.

For the basic MACHO goals... popularity, success, male ego,
domination, ALL TO MATCH Kuno's bold challenge.
But Akane IS cute--thought I loved her with long hair. She's the
cutest... come on... how can you expect a cutsie not to be jealous,
rough, hard-to-get, gentle when the mood is right... etc.... Akane is
cute.

Actually Shampoo isn't his fiancee. She just calls him her husband... No-one
got Ranma and Shampoo engaged, and Ranma didn't propose to Shampoo... So,
how did she suddenly get status of 'fiancee'? Only Akane and Ukyou are his
fiancees... (Also, the same that you said for Kodachi goes for Shampoo...
Her going outside her village stopped that law from being in effect, since
the outside world has a different custom for getting engaged...)

I said 'trying to murder people' not 'accidentally giving people poison'
In that cold noodle episode, Shampoo (and Cologne) KNOWINGLY gave everybody
the noodles that kills people, just to get their money back for buying the
leathal noodles! Ranma, Kunou and Ryouga end up in the after life a few
times in that episode! (Though they come back, just to try to get the
special (misleadingly advertised) noodle.) They even set up a special area
for everyone to talk about their afterlife experiences, and a sign saying
'Welcome back to life!' there. I'd call THAT 'trying to murder people',
NOT Akane's cooking!

Ah, but just because Shampoo *thinks* she's his wife doesn't mean she's
his fiancee. Especially since they both have different customs. If she
wasn't engaged to Ranma by his father, or if Ranma didn't propose to her,
then she is NOT his fiancee. (And the Amazon code doesn't work anywhere
outside the village, anyway... What moron in their right mind would go
along with such a rule?)

Actually, when he defeated Shampoo as she was about to attack Akane, that was
when she became (by her law) engaged to him. She ran away to China when Ranma
said that he was always a girl.
She came back to Japan with twice the love when she found out that Ranma was
actually a guy.

All of which is true, but I can illuminate the problem with two simple

engaged to Ranma? And if so, what are your burial instructions?

I see. This is a positive trait to you? So you must have last dated in,

they don't care about my feelings. Most people tend to dislike selfish

So what do married people do? Anyway, it's clear she doesn't love him
for his mind or personality, since she hasn't taken two seconds to get to
know him on a personal basis, (Not that he's especially deep,) so she has
to either love him for his body, or because of her tribal law. Either
way, there is nothing to build a long-term relationship on.

Define "Hottie". It was my understanding that this is referring to
someone's physical appearance. (which is all she would really have to
offer anyway,)
You want Shampoo, go beat her up. She needs a good hit in the head to
rattle the pea around and make her think a little.

Furthermore, I indicate that Akane is not as hopeless at cooking as

I don't know about that The most logicall reason that she
hasn't blackmailed Ryouga into slavery is that she's attracted
to him, though she wouldn't admit it, I mean he's so gulable
she could just say "Ryouga, what do you wish to give me to keep
me from telling your secret" and he'd give anything and blame
ranma for it!

Damn right, they love each other. Now if they'd only admit it...
As for whether Ranma deserves the attention of all the others, well he's
such an arrogant jerk sometimes he deserves some kind of punishment, and
I'm not sure I could think up a worse one than all the hassles caused by
the attentions of all his sweethearts!

Not quite. You've seen Ryouga, think he'll ever improve his sense of
direction? Akane's affliction is no less likely to disappear without gene
therapy or at least years of therapy.
If she doesn't think it's poison, why is she never the first to taste the
stuff she just made.

That one kicks butt. I love how it ended like a Urusei Yatsura story. In other words
they didn't bother resolving it. In other words there could be a both an extra male and
an extra female Ranma roaming around. The problem is they looked to be infatuated with
each other. That, I thought, was a little more sick than thinking the female Ranma is
good looking.

So if everyone in the series is stupid, then why does Shampoo get singled
out as exceptionally stupid? In fact, Shampoo is brighter than half the
people in the series, and the ones who *are* brighter aren't that much
brighter, with the main exceptions being Nabiki, Cologne, and Tofu.

Did I say it was a positive trait? I did not. Please do me the courtesy
of comprehending my statements before you attack me for making them.
Ms. Seawright made the claim that Shampoo was a "bimbo," then backed it
up with the observation that she was self-centered. I pointed out that
few definitons of "bimbo" include the trait of self-centeredness -- in
fact, Ms. Seawright's personal definition is the only one I've come
across that does.

: >You *definitely* just said that.
: Repetition represents emphasis. We put emphasis on things by repeating

Some of us also attempt to hide the fact that we have very little to say by
repeating ourselves until we seem to have said a great deal. Ms.
Seawright had three "reasons" why Shampoo is a "bimbo," but tried to pad
them out to five.
: >: only wants to get into bed with Ranma,
: >
: >She wants to *marry* Ranma. Not precisely the same thing.

Are you saying there is no more to marriage than mere carnal knowledge?

So how many infatuated sixteen-year-olds have a clear grasp of the
personalities of the objects of their affections? Shampoo's romantic
notions aren't that unusual, and are no more extreme than those of anyone
else in the series.

Certainly she MEANT that, but she completely failed to make the link

This was a very necessary and proper demonstration of the process by

friendship for a love of the opposite sex (not saying that teh
love of opposite sex cannot occur between teh same sex nor that
the opposite sex can't be friends: about opposite sex being

It's also ironic that if Akane were to react in steriotypical
female ways to insults etc. Ranma would understand her better
and treat her better, but on the other hand he wouldn't love
her as he does.

If you truely believe that everyone on the planet is selfish, then I pity
you, because you must be surrounded by some really awful people.
Everyone has a bit of selfishness perhaps, but those who are -regarded-
as selfish are treated so not because they can confess to their
selfishness, (actually, admitting your faults is a very selfless act)
but because they are more selfish than a normal person. If you
completely disregard the feelings of others for your own benefit, then
you are a selfish person. If you occasionally act in your own benefit,
then you are not necsessarily selfish.

Exactly what I'm saying. She's a body and nothing else. I can bet if she wasn't

No... If she wanted just to marry Ranma, she wouldn't have started stripping

I think this guy's got his mind on Shampoo's body so missed her character...
A bimbo uses her body and not her brains. Shampoo does that. She also only
does what Cologne tells her to do - she doesn't seem to be able to come up
with her own plans, herself.

Now THIS is a bald-faced lie. Ranma does not -believe she is uncute. He
says that when he's angry. He also says that she -is- cute when he's not
angry, so I suppose you're saying he's lying about that?

Ahem. She HAS improved. She can make edible curry, and she still tries
hard to make everything taste good (she's just bad at it.)

Because she doesn't think it nescessary. She always thinks it's going to
be delicious, up until somebody passes out.

Then, if Ranma doesn't say what isn't true... why does he actually mean it
when he DOES call Akane cute? He may have trouble saying it, but that's not
because it's not the truth... it's because he's rather shy due to the fact
that he loves her.

Then, why did she get better at cooking in the manga if her affliction isn't
going to be fixed? She cooked quite a normal curry, but everyone only found
this out when Kasumi tried it!

I missed that one! Actually, I'm sad to say that my sole contact with
the manga has been a few stray issues that popped up in the local
comic book store and the graphic novels in the books store (haven't
bought any of those as they were pretty beat up).
The fact that Ranma and his double were infatuated makes sense. (I've
always wondered what happened to those pictures Nabiki sold Kuno!)
Probably a bit too lemon for some people...

Wait if Kasume tried it first the Anime laws change. For
example: Ryouga might find his way somewhere if kasume tells
him how to get there. If Akane gets angry at KAsume (how could
that happen-I have no clue!) the Mallet would NEVER appear; she
couldn't even mallet ranma for weeks if she even thought of
malleting Kasume. RAmpaging monsters probably have tea with
her on a regular basis and even they are very civilized and
apologize when they forget to wipe their feet coming in.
A rel-Manga/anime example is that the most intellegent
character immediately becomes the least intellegent character
even if he (yes Tofu) hears mention of something which reminds
him of her.
What I am saying is that just because KAsume tried the food
first negates any poisonous effect immedaitely In all the food.

The way I see it, you can be attractive because you are cute, but the two
are not synonims. I guess I'd define cuteness as some sort of childlike/
inocent/playful behavior. Akane has acted cute in the past, like in
the first series after the haircut, but most of the time she's not
very playful.

I don't thinkit's a lie, especially if he says it when he's angry. That's
when people are most likely to let out their true opinions. I think he
calls her this cause it's the only trait of Akane's personality he dislikes.

Akane's cooking will never meet the FDAs standards for human consumption.

Ok, granted she's a bit of an air head and has no long term memory.

What about the time she stopped Ranma from beating up Mousse?
She couldn't stand him being bullied by Ranma and so scared Ranma off?
She saved Mousse when he feel in Movie 2.

In the 1st movie, she saved Ranma's butt in a fight when his goal was to get to

Wanting to kill people? There are situations when she must kill people to

She has love. If she didn't care, she wouldn't have run off crying when she
found out that Ranma-chan and Ranma-kun were the same. She should have killed
he but she couldn't bring herself to do it. She was crushed.
Really, I can't believe how someone can have so much spite for an animated
character to say all these nasty things about Shampoo without thinking about
them. Well, yes I can. But really, you should really think about what you
say.

Cute in Ranma context does not mean playfulness. It means sexual

It's been fairly obvious that Ranma doesn't think she uncute for some
time. That's one of the biggest story elements in the series. Come on.
