How about actually looking at the pictures in the manga before trying to
tell the whole ML that everyone who's seen the manga is wrong and that
you're right. If you LOOK, you can see two nikuman and one okonomiyaki,
both of which explodes, blowing up Ranma as he ran out of *Akane's*
bedroom. (If Ranma wasn't there, they would have got Akane) ... And,
then in the NEXT panel, the ones holding the nukuman are Shampoo... and,
guess what? Ukyou's holding the pile of okonomiyaki she's ready to
throw ('There's still more left!' she yells, ready to continue throwing
more into Akane's bedroom, where Akane still is situated).

Anou... Zen IS looking at the manga, RIGHT NOW.  And Caroline is, in Zen's
opinion, still wrong on this point.

The manga *clearly* shows that Shamps and Ucchan are in the dojo.  Akane's
room is on the *second floor* - it is *impossible* for them to throw
anything through the door to Akane's room from the dojo.

Zen *knows* that Ucchan was throwing bombs, Zen does not dispute that.  Zen
disputes that her motive was to kill Akane.  By the time Akane gets to the
dojo, all the bombs are gone - except maybe for Happousai's

Please note - Zen is not defending Shampoo, or denying that Takahashi
sensei intends for Ranma and Akane to marry, but Zen just happens to feel
that You have been a little unfair to Ucchan.

That's all.


Don't try to mislead the ML with false information of what happened in
the manga. It clearly shows what happened, even if you can't read
Japanese! (Though you'll miss Shampoo saying 'Aiya! I was aiming at
Akane!' and Ukyou's response 'There's still more left!')

Zen is not.


Zen is misleading. Kun-chan is right. ;p

Zen is not! ^_^


BTW - the ending clearly shows that Ranma will marry Akane, in the
future ... who'd want to marry a wannabe murderess?

Well, Zen would rather marry Ucchan than someone who was gonna beat him up
*before* he had a chance to put his foot in his mouth. ^_^
