Ryouga would be a VERY good candidate for ranma's dad. he is just as up on
martal arts as genma but he's not a theiving malodorous asshole. plus he
actually likes ranma a little bit. Also ranma being trained by Ryouga would
make him a more well rounded fighter (it would increase his endurance and
strength as well as speed)

oops, unclear "He" here - I meant Amaru would lose interest
in Akane, taking Ranma for granted. I'd also like to apologise
for a number of spelling errors/dropped characters in that
scene - I forgot Rule Four. "Thou shalt proofread thy email
thrice before sending"

     How about if Ranma lived two sets of lives at
once? What I mean is that Ranma remembers things that
happenned in his past life when he reaches the age
when that happenned. This way he'd still be half the

staying with his parents. At six he'd develop an
"imaginary friend" Ucchan in his mind. At ten he'd

I think Ukyou at least would be known to him already,
since she's kind of Akane's freind already, isn't she? (I
only have fanfic to judge this by, I've seen half of one
episode of Ranma and live in an area where anime doesn't
seem to exist yet) A expect that he'd have told people
about his double memories anyway and someone would have
figured out he was remembering his first life. It would
probably be good for Ucchan to hear him apologise for
running away with her father's cart right when he
remembers doing it. I can also see him needing to do more
than just remember his training and doing the excercises,
since he'd have Akane's abilaties to learn too. Hey, don't
laugh, the only person in the Ranmaverse I've seen
described as having a bigger battle aura (and hence amount
of chi) than Akane is Herb, half-son of a Chi Dragon! Just
think of what RANMA could do with that amount of chi added
to his own.

Neko-ken. He'd remember the first time he saw himself
female, and perhaps grow to dislike his curse if he
has kept it. He'd remember falling in love with his

I'd say he's kept it, and would probably be as used to it
as Tarou. If double memories hadn't already driven him a
little wacko by then, I'd expect suddenly remembering
hating some aspect of yourself that seems as natural as a
heartbeat would do it then - this is my main argument for
why I'd either have him remember everything he can
remember within a few years of birth or not remember at
all; I'm not big on tales of woe and insanity.

own mother... Talk about an Oedipus complex! And
finally he'd grow past the age he died, and stops
remembering his past life to be twice the person he
was. At this point he might wish to go back in time
(a la Nanban Mirror) to stop this from happenning by
defeating the prince.

Heh... that might be worth it just to show the reactions
of the rest of the Nerima crowd to having him call Akane
"Mom", Ryoga - or, horror of horrors, Kunou! - "Dad" and
the other Tendo daughters and fiancees "auntie"!
