Ranma 12 s01e124 Episode Script

Episode 124

Pretty bad snowstorm.
It's best to turn in early on a night like this.
Ah the great outdoors! Akane, I've dreamed of seeing a beautiful morning with you.
A morning with you? But that'd mean--! Akane! Akane!! Wh-Wha--? Where am I? What's happened? What's this? A flute? Cold! Cold, huh? What's the big idea?! You must be cold.
Rest a while.
Have some tea.
Thanks! Ranma was shoveling snow? Thank you.
Ranma's clearing the snow away? That's right.
Isn't he nice? Hey, y' know.
It's so unusual for Ranma to do something for the family.
- Hey.
- Akane, you mustn't talk like that.
Isn't it nice that the snow gave our freeloader something to do? "Unexplained cold spell.
" It's the worst snowfall in decades.
I'm grateful to the guy who made it snow.
Pop! You lie around under the kotatsu all morning! Help me shovel snow, at least! - No! - Curling up like a cat--! Fine, I'm a cat.
Suits me fine! You--! Meeow! No--! Cut it out! Quit it, I said! Akane! What coulda happened to him, anyway? He nearly froze in the snow, of course! Poor thing.
Ryoga wouldn't let a little snow bother him.
Then what could have happened to him? We'll just have t' ask him.
S-Snow--! A monstrous, terrifying snow monster! Ryoga! What'd you see, anyway?! Ranma! You can't wake him yet! Hey--! Rats, he lost consciousness again.
What're you trying to do?! Oh, my What can this be? It looks like a flute.
It's freezing! This is awful! Say, Ranma, what could Ryoga have seen? I dunno.
That's what I'm tryin' to find out-- The snow's frozen over.
Ranma, are you okay? Ranma! Look there! What's this?! Could it be--?! It's gotta be from that monster Ryoga was talkin' about.
Scary! Somebody's down there! A child? She's dressed funny.
She ain't from around here.
Are you all right? Oh, no! She's as cold as ice! Ranma! We've got to get her to the house! Right! Leave it to me.
It's freezing.
Hasn't it suddenly gotten colder?! You're right.
I wonder what happened? Sis! Has the water boiled? It's still cold.
But it's been on the stove for over an hour.
Maybe a nice, hot bath will warm me up.
Good idea.
Ranma's in there now.
Go when he's finished.
It's freezin'! The water's ice-cold! It can't be! It was hot when you got home! The temperature's so low, the water got cold in no time.
Does that mean we can't have hot tea, Saotome? At this rate, we may all freeze to death, Tendo.
Ha, ha.
Don't talk like that, Saotome.
Ha, ha, ha.
Hasn't Ryoga come to yet? That little girl seems much better, though.
Akane's putting her to bed now.
Where did you come from? Are you all alone? Where do you live? What's your name? Akane! She can't answer all your questions at once.
What happened to that boy? She spoke! What happened to him? He was buried under th' snow.
He's feverish from being half-frozen.
Get some sleep now.
- Nu is here! - Huh? Nu has come! Nu? What's that? If nothing is done the entire town will freeze! Everyone will die! I see! That monster called "Nu" is causing th' freezing cold.
Could those footprints belong to " Nu" too? I'm sure of it.
Nu got Ryoga, too.
What'll we do, Ranma? We gotta fight him! At this rate, we'll all freeze to death! I'll find that Nu and destroy him! Where am I, anyway? What's happening? Who's that over there? You're? Hey! Found 'im?! No! Rats! What a pain.
But our only lead is those footprints-- Ranma! - Found the footprints? - Look.
Where'd that come from? That's the monster's Nu's lair! It's huge! Akane, go home and tell th' folks about this.
- You're going there alone? - Yeah.
Can you manage?! You'd only get in my way.
Oh, really.
Okay.
I'll get our fathers right away.
Be countin' on you.
Right! Brrrrr! It's freezing! What's going on, anyway? This isn't normal.
I wonder if Akane and Ranma are all right? Ryoga! Ryoga! Are you well enough to get up? Yes.
Who's the girl in there? She was found in the snow just like you.
Do you know her? No, I don't .
By the way, where are Ranma and Akane? They went out to look for this thing called "Nu.
" Nu? This is amazin'.
.
.
It's coming! You're here, huh?! S-Snowman?! Is that true?! Yes.
That's the only word I have for it.
A baffling mystery of our modern world.
That legendary monster-- The Abominable Snowman has now appeared in our town? Though its body is huge, it moves with lightning speed.
More than that, my "Bakusai Tenketsu" didn't even faze him! What?! Your "Breaking Point" move didn't faze him?! Tell us more, Ryoga! Wh-What's it tryin' to do?! It's freezin' the whole town! No way, man! Take this! Huh.
He's not so tough-- It can't be--! His body is made of snow! He can break up like powdery snow and come back to life as a monster! In other words, being blasted apart doesn't bother him.
How frightening.
Indeed.
That's why your Breaking Point technique won't work on him! I see! It's awful!! Dad, Ranma went into the cave all alone--! Cave? What're you talking about, Akane? That's the Snowman's lair! Does Ranma intend to fight him all alone? Akane! Take me there! But are you well enough to fight, Ryoga? Fool! If we don't hurry, Ranma could be killed! Ryoga--! Right! We must help! Saotome! Let's go too! Right! Let's prepare! Akane! Let's go first! Show me the way! Ryoga! I'll lend you my snow coat! Akane, what about you? I'll be fine like this.
Kasumi, my trousers and snow boots? Yes, Father.
I can't even get close to him! Ryoga, are you all right? Akane, I'm sorry I yelled at you back there.
I don't want Ranma to be done in by anyone but me.
Much less a monster! - Ryoga--! - Let's hurry! Father! - What's wrong, Kasumi? - That little girl is gone.
- What?! - What?! How could it happen, at a time like this? Kasumi! She's not anywhere in the house! I hope she hasn't gone out in this snow? It can't be helped.
Let Ryoga and Akane help Ranma.
We've got to split up and search for the girl.
Right! Oh? This is--! I see it! Ryoga! It's over there! Ryoga?! Where are you?! Akane!! Akane? No--! Who are you? Hey! Why do you run? Wait a minute! Hey, wait! Who was that? Here it is! It's no use.
My body's so cold, it's hard t' move.
Is this the end?! Ranma! - Ryoga! - Fool! Pull yourself together! - Ryoga, I found a weak spot! - What?! Whenever he breaks apart, his eye always stays intact! Look out! The eye! Get his eye, Ryoga! Right! Bakusai Tenketsu--! - We did it, Ranma! - Great as ever, Ryoga.
Watch out! We gotta get outta here! We're alive.
What an ordeal.
It sure was.
Ranma! Ryoga! Thank goodness! You're both safe! - Guess so.
- Of course, Akane.
You suddenly disappeared, Ryoga.
I searched like crazy.
But I came straight here-- What's that?! He's still alive?! Wait! Whatssa matter? Look.
It's not dangerous anymore.
I'm sorry.
I have come from a snowy mountain far way.
This is a being that lives on the same mountain.
I ran away from the mountain and it followed me in order to protect me.
To protect you? Who are you? All these things happened because I ran away.
Everyone suffered because of me! It's like ice! Hey! Moreover you found my precious Snow Flute.
Thank you.
Now I must return to the mountain.
It is the cruel fate of those who live on the mountain.
I knew you only a short while.
But I shall never forget the kindness you have all shown me.
Never, not even in the freezing snow.
They disappeared! The legendary Yuki Onna! Her tears-- What? Her tears were warm.
The sky's clearin'! Somehow, it all seems like a dream.
Say, Ryoga d'ya think the Snow Woman cared for you? Who knows?
