Episode 142

I've got to perfect the Lion's-Roar Blast technique before Ranma does.
Hurry up! This secret scroll says "anyone can do the Lion's-Roar Blast.
" "Think of something unpleasant and make yourself depressed.
" "There, you did it.
However" "However, this is only the basic form of the technique.
" "The complete, perfected Lion's-Roar Blast is" "This arrow!!" If only I knew what this arrow means! Are you sure you don't want dinner? If you break down, you'll be my servant, right? You call this "misfortune"? It ain't? Hey, somebody fell down the manhole! Is he okay? It's only a pig.
I wonder who's more unfortunate.
Ranma or Ryoga? However you look at it, Ryoga's way more pitiful.
It's darkcold! I'm sleepy.
I'm sleepy.
What misfortune.
I feel depressed.
Ryoga! That rat.
He stuffed his face, and now he's sleepin' by a warm fire? I'm jealous! Lion's-Roar Blast! I did it! I beat out Ryoga at bein' unfortunate! That'll teach him! That jerk, Ryoga! I win--! Quit walking in your sleep!! Ranma! You're supposed to be depressed from not eating or sleeping! I just Look, Ranma, not everyone can master every technique.
I've heard, in the Lion's-Roar Blast technique the greater one's misfortunes, the greater is one's depression culminating in explosive power.
That's why I'm tryin' to make myself depressed! Not you! You're too happy-go-lucky for this technique! No way.
Then I'll never--??! It's true.
Mr.
Saotome hasn't been Ranma's dad these 16 years for nothing.
After 16 years, he would know that much, wouldn't he? Am I supposed to give up??! I'm offering to teach you a technique that's right for you.
I never dreamed I would ever be teaching this technique to you.
Anything-Goes Saotome School: "Howl of the Underdog.
" "Howl of the Underdog"??! Combat stance! Summon up your fighting spirit and move back! When you've distanced yourself from the enemy, shout Idiot! Fool! Moron! So's your ma--! It's only the sour-grapes howl of the loser dog! Take my advice.
Fight him with another move.
Quiet.
I gotta do this! Lemme alone! - The power's at a standstill.
- Wow, cool! This time for sure--! Oho! I see! What's the big idea??! I was wondering if it'd break up his power.
As Nabiki thought, it did break up your power.
I saw it with my own eyes! Quit botherin' me!! Look at all the stupid things I'm doing--! How can I? How can I beat Ryoga like this??! What's that??! Power gone awry! Ranma! Are you okay??! Ranma! Eureka.
It's how you use the power.
With my own kind of power I can use the Lion's-Roar Blast to create a new technique.
I'm a genius, after all! His spirit's suddenly high! But moronic.
Can he really beat Ryoga this way? I've got a bad feeling about this.
I can't figure it out.
What does this arrow mean? Unless I find out, I'll never perfect the Lion's-Roar Blast.
If only I had a clue! It's just a kid playing.
Papa! Could it be? It sank.
I've got it! The Lion's-Roar Blast is complete!! I figured it out! Ryoga! Akane--! - Did you bathe? - Yes.
Are you really going through with the fight? The Lion's-Roar Blast The stronger you become, don't you become more miserable? Akane, do something for me.
Face me, and with all your might What? "I hate you!" - Say that, will you? - Huh??! Why should I say that? Please! You've got to be the one! With those words from you, I'll perfect the Lion's-Roar Blast.
Do I have to? Please! I hate you.
Goldfish! Goldfish! That's the one expression What's wrong, Ryoga? That's the one expression I didn't want to hear! Ryoga??! Stop it! I knew it was coming, but the pain is ripping my heart to shreds! But you made me say it.
Ryoga! I did it.
I perfected it.
The Lion's-Roar Blast.
A duel! Ranma and Ryoga are fightin' a duel! The Day of the Battle The Day After That Two Days Later Three Days Later - I'm here! - Ryoga made it! - They say he got lost again! - For him, this was pretty fast.
Ryoga, I thought you got scared and ran away.
Ryoga perfected the Lion's-Roar Blast? Yes.
He's more powerful than you can imagine.
On the other hand, Ranma-- Don't worry! I can't lose! He seemed strangely confident.
I wonder if he truly learned how to fight Ryoga's power.
What's wrong, Ryoga? You look like you're in the depths of misery.
That's right.
I'm the guy who gave up personal happiness to win this fight.
I won't hold back.
I'll beat you to a pulp.
The Lion's-Roar Blast derives its power from misery.
Though I'm no match for Ryoga's misfortune and depression That stance! I've got this!! - A defiant posture! - What??! Lion's-Roar Blast! Imperious Tiger! They're dead even.
The Imperious Tiger??! What's that? The only way to fight back is with aggression!! Give up, Ryoga??! Aggression? He's proud of that? You've got me feeling depressed again.
Because of your useless resistance.
You've forced my hand! I'll have to use my perfected Lion's-Roar Blast!! It's that same blast! Power Pillar! My word.
You dodged it? How depressing.
I've got to do it again.
I ain't givin' up! Imperious--! Tiger! His spirit's weakened.
The Lion's-Roar Blast is fearsome! It gives rise to power.
When spirits fall and spirits sink.
It's easier said than done.
What could have sunk Ryoga to such low spirits? Could it have been--? I hate you.
The echo of those cruel words plunge me into the depths of despair.
All my sadness I transfer to you, Ranma.
If I'm the cause of Ryoga's unhappiness I've got to stop this fight! No matter who wins, it can only be a hollow victory! - Ryoga! - Akane! Are you bothered by what I said? What's she talkin' about? You forced me to say I hate you! Don't try to console me!! But actually, I really I like you, Ryoga! I "like" you, Ryoga! I "like" you, Ryoga! You do? I mean it.
So let's always be friends, okay? She just wants to be "friends"??! Thanks for delivering the death-blow, Akane.
I get it.
So that's it? You did this to me just because Akane dumped you??! I no longer have anything to lose.
However, Ranma--! I'm taking you down with me.
Ryoga! What's making you so sad? I thought you were trying to help? Blast! We're getting in a rut here.
Let's put an end to this.
Why? The Lion's-Roar Blast hits him, too.
How come he don't get creamed? Lion's-Roar Blast! What's this? His expression changed--! Could it be--??! I've won.
It ain't over yet.
Blast me again.
You're a stubborn one.
If my hunch is right, I've got a chance! Gotta go for it--! Lion's-Roar Blast! Now! I see Akane's panties! I thought so.
Right after unleashing the Lion's-Roar Blast Ryoga was in a daze.
Namely it left him spiritless! Empty of Ki Spiritless??! So he avoided the heavy blast by becoming spiritless??! So if we shake him up, he'll destroy himself! How many times do you think you can keep this up? Now this time, it's for real! What a poor loser.
This is the only way I can win! Hey, I kissed Akane.
What was that??! He's lying! Lying! It's not true! It's not! It's not, it's not! What can the Son-in-Law be thinking? The Lion's-Roar Blast grows more powerful as its practitioner grows more depressed.
Why would the Son-in-Law try to make Ryoga more miserable? MAXIMUM POWER LION'S-ROAR BLAST!!! Now's my chance! Ryoga! Ryoga!! I lied when I said I kissed her! Honest??! Whaddya think??! The Lion's-Roar Blast is defeated.
Ranma! He used Ryoga's maximum power and accelerated his strike.
Not even Ryoga could withstand that.
I'm surprised it didn't faze the Son-in-Law, though.
I guess it did.
It was sheer will that kept him standing.
So I really didn't kiss him, I tell you.
Goody.
