Episode 157

Hello, everybody.
Ees beautiful Sunday.
On dis kine nice day, I need my ukulele from Hawaii! What--? My God! My ukulele! I have one bad feelin' 'bout dis.
Like sometheeng bad gonna happen to dis Furinkan High School dat I love! Catch! Silly Mr.
Green Turtle! Here! You're such a little piggy.
Treasures Sasuke, tell me what year this is.
This is the one year in every ten years when the Kuno Treasure Room is thoroughly cleaned.
Yes.
The cleaning on New Year's Eve is the duty of the Kuno heir.
With due respect, Master Kuno It's only summer.
Fool! Don't you understand?! Dust, dust, dust, dust, dust! Dust, dust, dust, dust, dust! Fool! If we start now, we'll be finished in time to ring in the New Year! People of old say, "Dust gathers to make a mountain!" But if dust gathers, we'll have to clean all over again! Strike! Master Kuno!! Are you all right? It missed my vital spot.
What's in that box? The seal came off! Look, Master Kuno! It's a hand drum.
Quite old, at that! Hand drum? M-Master Kuno? This hand drum seems to be inviting me to play it.
No! It's as if it waited through time immemorial to be played by me! That's the feeling that comes over me.
Now! What say I try it out with a whack? Um, Master Kuno? Wha--?! What's going on? The ancient goddess of public entertainment, Benzaiten gave this world a pair of mysterious musical instruments.
Their sound traveled thousands of leagues, splitting sea and earth! Destroying everyhing in its path! So people called the instruments "Musical Weapons"! And, fearing their destructive power, sealed them! We should re-seal that dangerous thing, Master! Even the most powerful weapon can be used well if its user's heart is pure.
I shall use this instrument responsibly to further the cause of peace.
- Talk about "dangerous"-- - What was that? Nothing, sir! Still, I find this drum's lure spellbinding.
Gazing at it like this, a feeling comes over me-- To give it a good whack! S-Stop! Gotcha.
But this is one of a pair.
What could have happened to the second instrument? What happened? I'm in my rose garden.
What has happened? Is it you who calls to me? This lute is calling to me, telling me to play! I have an overpowering urge to hear its strains.
Be still, my heart.
Wha--?! Hear me, Sasuke.
You must find the partner instrument to my hand drum.
Hot! Rats.
Melted, already.
Get a grip! Summer session's a waste of time! The other instrument might fall into evil hands.
I can't sleep for worrying.
'Mornin', Upperclassman Kuno.
You wretch, Ranma Saotome.
You dare interrupt my concern for peace in this world! You insolent wretch!! Hah! What's with the drum? It's not a drum! It's a hand drum! I shall now punish you with this sacred, hyper hand drum! Huh? Kuno? What's goin' on? Kuno's gonna play a drum! Listen! To the drum sound of the ancient gods! What was that?! Let this be a lesson to you.
Never make mischief again.
Huh? A super-weapon of old?! This hand drum? Right.
To a youth of exceptional brilliance, looks, kindness, and strength namely me, a god has given this weapon of justice.
I guess even the gods can make mistakes.
In other words--!! That hand drum is the secret of your power?! Pigtailed Girl! I want that hand drum! I want it! Gimme! You sweet thing.
How can you demean yourself like this? Gimme!! I'll get ya! Once you Iose that drum--! I see! Would you like to hear the hyper drum, Pigtailed Girl?! Fine, just for you! The song of the ancients!! W-Wait--! Dulcet tone.
It always stirs my very soul.
Pigtailed Girl! What's wrong? Awaken! Perhaps this calls for a passionate kiss from Prince Charming.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! No slobbery fraternizing on campus! No good, no good! Wot? Oh, no! Da classroom ees one big mess! Wot happen heah? What's goin' on? Blast you, Principal! You ruined a perfect opportunity! You'll pay! Oh, Tacchi! Dat drum not allowed in school! It's no drum! It's a hand drum! Divine retribution upon you! Wot?! Oh, my god! Drat, what have I done? I lost my composure again.
The fool.
This is ridiculous.
Look at Principal.
Oh, no.
No, no, no! My precious-- My precious ukulele! Principal! He ain't actin' like his usual whacko self.
I've got a feeling that something bad's gonna happen to our Furinkan High.
Daddy You poor, poor thing.
How could my own brother have done this to you? Sasuke! Daddy? Take this! Dis is my ukulele! That's no ukulele, that's a lute! You're right, Daddy! The only instrument that can defeat Brother's hand drum a hyper ukulele.
Now, Daddy.
Come, cheer up.
And fight Brother once more! Ko! Kocchi! "Not give.
" "Will give.
" "Gives.
" "When one gives.
" "lf one gives!" "Not strike, will strike, strikes, when one strikes, if one strikes.
" If one strikes--?! Strike?! I wanna strike it! Yeah! I'm gonna strike it! Now! Kuno's impossible.
That's the sixth time today.
Ranma, do something! I'll get killed if I mess with that.
Coward! Didn't you say you never lose to any martial artist? So is that thing even human?! Drat.
I lost my composure again.
Good grief! Why'd it have to be Kuno, of all people? Everybody in Furinkan High School! I have bery nice news today! - Principal! - He snapped out of it? Now a beeg event gonna start.
Everybody, come to da grandstand! Principal in Summer Yay, yay, yay! Cannot heah.

Yay, yay! Dammit! It's too hot for this lunacy! Dammit! So you no wanna heah my new ukulele? That light! I change my mind.
Befo' I get Tacchi, Boy--! I gonna give you Hell now! Ain't that a lute--? Not lute.

Heah my ukulele's HOLY sound! Where'd I hear that before? Now no mo' guys gonna boddah us! Now everybody, we gonna continue da concert! Yay, yay, yay! Even the Principal has a dangerous instrument?! Ranma! Wot? Where everybody go?! Wat? So the villain who stole the other musical weapon is you, Principal?! Right, Tacchi! I wuz waitin' fo' you.
Now I get you back fo' breakin' my ukulele! Laughable! I shall punish you with my sacred hyper hand drum.
Resign yourself! As long as I, Tatewaki Kuno, am student here I won't allow you to bully the weak! Wait a minute! I hope you didn't mean me?! Silence! Ranma! Hey, Tacchi! You no beat up da weak baby lamb! Who's a weak baby lamb?! Shaddup! What the heck is Ranma doing? Wretched Principal! You have committed one lawless act after another! I'll allow it no longer! My ukulele or your drum? Who gonna win? I challenge you! It's a hand drum! C'MON, you guys--!! Looks like there's no stopping them.
But why do they keep picking on Ranma?! Poor, dear Ranma Darling.
Kodachi! What's going on here?! Daddy loved his ukulele more than life itself.
So I gave him that hyper lute to comfort him.
Who would have expected such a disaster? So you started this, right? Ranma Darling is suffering because of me! Principal, for world peace, you must die! Love and peace! Fo' peace, you disappeah! Forget world peace.
They should fix their own family first.
Never mind the world! Ranma's getting killed! Mistress Kodachi! Sasuke! I found a way to break the power of the musical weapons! Honest? This ancient document says they'll lose their power against a louder sound than that of either lute or hand drum! Another sound?! But where can we find such a sound? I know! Akane, this is where you come in.
How come? Nabiki, what're you trying to tell me? It's obvious.
Use your voice to stop the fighting.
Why MY voice?! Your yell tops every sound.
Do it to save Ranma and our school.
Why should I help that jerk? - It's Ranma! - He broke away! Ranma Darling! What has happened to you?! Ranma, stop already.
Leave those two alone.
Ranma Darling, stand up! Only you can stop the fighting! What're you saying?! You're the one who started all this trouble! Quiet.
Keep outta this, woman.
Ranma, I'll handle this! What can a clumsy girl like you do? Father and son, gangin' up on me! I ain't gonna take this! That's my Ranma Darling! Kodachi! How come you're here? Hey, quit it! This ain't no time for stuff like this! Whups, that got her.
I was worried about you, but you go and--! Now! Take it, Akane! Ranma, you--! Ranma, you--! Ranma, you--!! JERK!!! What'd ya say?! She did it! Oh, no! Oh, my god! Heaven, why have you forsaken me? Burnout.
