Ranma 12 s01e01 Episode Script
Episode 1
Hey, you--! That's enough already! I-It's a panda! Panda? C'mon! It is a panda! I told you all along, I'm not interested! Picking my fiancee for me like that! I'm going back to China! Stay like that forever, for all I care! Oh, my! Look what the panda did to that girl! Wh-What's going on here!? How terrible! What's this world coming to!? Today is the day Ranma will finally arrive! How I've waited for this day! Kasumi! Nabiki! Akane! - Kasumi! - What is it, Father? Nabiki! Akane! Is Akane here? Phew! Not bad! --Huh!? There you go again, Akane.
It's 'cause you're always doing stuff like this that the boys don't "like" you in a normal way! Mind your own business! Unlike you, Sis I HATE boys! Really? Then I guess this has nothing to do with you.
Fiance? Yes, he's the son of your father's very good friend.
His name is Ranma Saotome.
If one of you three girls were to marry him and carry on this training hall, then our family legacy would be secure.
Hey, wait a minute! You can't just decide it like that! Count me out! Maybe you should wait until you meet him.
You never know, he might be more handsome than you think.
Right, Daddy? He'll be here very soon.
Ranma and his father have been on a training mission.
Recently, they crossed into China.
Oooh, China! So they trained in China.
That doesn't automatically make them any good.
- Father, how old is this Ranma? - Is he handsome? I hope he isn't younger than me Well, what kind of guy is he? - I don't know.
- You don't know? I mean, I've never met him.
I don't believe this.
L-Leggo, you fool! Lemme go, I said! I told you, I don't want any part of this! Oh, my! We have visitors! Oooh, it must be RANMA! Saotome! We've been waiting! I hope he's older than me C-C'mon! Y-You're scarin' 'em! Stop! Are these your friends, Father? If they're not your friends, then what's a panda doing here!? Y-You wouldn't be Ranma? I'm Ranma Saotome.
Sorry 'bout this.
Oh, I see! So you are Ranma! He is cute! Oh, it's so good of you to come! Hmm? Um, please stop that.
A-A girl? Father! Oh, poor Father.
He must be so disappointed.
I'm the one who's disappointed! I was looking forward to finding out what kind of man he was.
Then I get a look at him, and it turns out he is a she.
Stop it, Sis! She came a long way to visit with us.
Look, everyone! Father's waking up.
This is all your fault, Daddy! Couldn't you have checked if he was a boy or a girl!? Saotome told me that he'd been blessed with a son.
What part of this looks like a boy to you, huh? What part of this? - Um, please stop that.
- She's right! So what if she's a girl, Sis.
A guest is a guest! Hey, you wanna come see our dojo? I'm Akane.
You wanna be friends? You study kenpo, right? A bit.
Hey, why don't we have a little match? - A match? - Yeah! For fun.
For fun.
Don't worry, I won't attack you for real.
What's wrong!? Attack me--! I-I can't get through! Is she reading my moves? Okay, then this time for real! Here I come! You're pretty good.
- I'm so glad you're a girl.
- Huh? It's just well, I couldn't stand losing to a boy.
So that's how it was.
"The path of a true martial artist is fraught with peril" Ranma, please use this room.
Why don't you go down right now and take a bath.
Uh no thanks.
You must! You must be perspiring from all that exercise, right? Y-Yes Hey Sis, who's that strange man in our living room? Who knows? Nabiki, would you go tell Akane to take her bath? Oka-a-a-y.
Brrr--! That's cold! Guess she's already in there.
What am I gonna do? They're bound to find out sooner or later.
Oh, well.
Might as well go out like I am.
I'm gonna beat him to a pulp--! Akane? What's the matter? What are you doing with that? There's a pervert in our bathroom--! So why didn't you clobber him, then? How could I!? I was scared! That's odd.
I thought that Ranma was in there right now.
'Scuse me Who? Who are you!? I'm Ranma Saotome.
Sorry 'bout this.
Let me introduce them once more.
This is your father's dear friend Genma Saotome.
And this is my son Ranma.
What is the meaning of this? Are you really her? The same girl from before? Well Well, I I just don't know where to begin.
All right, then.
Why don't you take a look at this, for starters.
What are you doing!? Oh, my.
He's a girl now.
I am so ashamed! I cannot bear to see my son like this! Ranma, your father Your father is in such agony! Why, you--! You're in no position to talk! Father, you certainly have some unusual friends.
I myself have yet to hear full details.
Their strange physiques seem somehow related to their dangerous training in China.
Before we go any further let's give them a few moments to come back to themselves.
It all started one month ago In order to continue our warrior's conditioning my son and I crossed to China to find a new place to train.
It was in China's Mt.
Quanjing region in the Bayankala Range, Qinghai Province that we finally came to the legendary training grounds of Jusenkyo.
Here, sirs.
We come to famous Training Ground of Cursed Springs, Jusenkyo.
Are you prepared, Ranma? This place ain't near as bad as I thought it'd be.
Oh, sirs! You very strange ones.
This place very dangerous, nobody use now.
More than one hundred spring here and each one have own tragedy there! Ranma, follow me! Okay! Oh, sirs! What you doing? You no go there! I no finish my tragic story! I won't go easy on you! That's just the way I like it! Oh, sirs! Very bad you fall in spring! Gotcha--! What's wrong, Old Man? We done already? Wh-What is that--!? That one Shonmaoneechuan, "Spring of Drowned Panda".
There very tragic legend of panda who drown there 2,000 year ago.
Now, whoever fall there take body of panda.
Is very cursed spring.
It's the first we've heard about it! Ah, now you fall Nyanneechuan! There very tragic legend of young girl who drown in "Spring of Drowned Girl" Now, whoever fall in spring take body of young girl.
Is very cursed spring.
You see? You turn into girl.
Jusenkyo, the legendary training ground of cursed springs! Its true horror has been shrouded in mystery until now.
Wh-Whaddya mean, "true horror"? You, Old Man! You just had to take me to that stupid training ground in China! Ranma, you sound like a girl--! Were you not prepared to lay down your life for the sake of the art!? My life, yes my manhood is another story! You just had to go and seek out that training ground even though you didn't speak a word of Chinese! This is certainly tragic.
However When doused with hot water, you return to normal! That was just a little hot there, Tendo! And in Ranma's case, being doused with cold water makes him a girl.
But hot water turns him back into a boy! You don't gotta boil me! Well, now! Your problem isn't so terrible after all.
Look! My eldest daughter, Kasumi! She's nineteen.
My second daughter, Nabiki.
She's seventeen.
And my third daughter, Akane.
She's sixteen.
She'll be your fiancee.
Pick whichever you want.
- It's settled, then.
It's Akane.
- They're made for each other.
This isn't funny! Why does it have to be me!? You hate boys, right? That's right! How fortunate that Ranma is half-girl.
No way! Don't expect me to marry that pervert! Hey, hey! Whaddya mean by "pervert"!? You saw me in the nude, you molester! Wait a minute! You're the one who walked in on me! It's different when a girl sees a boy! - Molester! Pervert! - They're already the perfect couple! We're having a fight here! The point is, I absolutely refuse to marry someone like you! I refuse, too! Goodbye.
Look here, Ranma! Where are you going? Back to China! I've gotta find a way to change back for good! This is no time for fiancees.
By the way, I noticed that you took a pretty good look at me, too.
It's no big deal for me to see a naked girl.
I've seen myself plenty of times, right? And I'm better built, to boot.
Now that one was Ranma's own fault.
Oh, he's awake! Oww! Are you okay? Don't think too badly of Akane.
She's basically a sweet girl at heart, yet hopelessly violent.
Sis, I don't think you're helping any.
Why, that--! Making a fool of me And I'm better built, to boot.
What kind of boy is he!? Ouch! It still smarts! What kinda girl is she, anyway? Jeez.
You wanna be friends? So she says.
So much for "friends" when she found out I'm a boy.
I, uh Why, y-you--! But you were both girls this time! That makes it okay, doesn't it? It's not okay! Not "okay" at all! So she's got spunk! That makes a fiancee even more cute! She is not cute.
Not "cute" at all.
Oww--!
It's 'cause you're always doing stuff like this that the boys don't "like" you in a normal way! Mind your own business! Unlike you, Sis I HATE boys! Really? Then I guess this has nothing to do with you.

L-Leggo, you fool! Lemme go, I said! I told you, I don't want any part of this! Oh, my! We have visitors! Oooh, it must be RANMA! Saotome! We've been waiting! I hope he's older than me C-C'mon! Y-You're scarin' 'em! Stop! Are these your friends, Father? If they're not your friends, then what's a panda doing here!? Y-You wouldn't be Ranma? I'm Ranma Saotome.
Sorry 'bout this.
