One thing I noticed which no one else has brought up; where were Ukyou and
Shampoo in all of this? They were not even mentioned in the story, as if
they had just faded into the background and left Ranma alone when he got
stuck as a girl, just like in "Thy Outward Part". Surely they wouldn't
just stand around and do nothing? (I'm a firm believer that Ukyou will
still love Ranma and try to pursue the engagement even if he got stuck as
a girl permanently.)
