Hey when was it ever decided that Kodachi is the most unappealing 
character of Ranma 1/2......isn't there anyone who moderately likes 
her?...jeez....in almost every fanfic she is a total lunatic who most 
frequently 
gets institutionalized :P.....though I am not a big Kodachi fan.....she 
is a moderately ok character......I can certainly think of nastier ones 
:P....though I won't mention one due to probable protests ^_^

Because she is a lunatic.  And she poisons people.  Of course, I dislike 
Shampoo for the same reasons, unlike a lot of people :)

it is to being true love depends on how closely he or she fits into 
the mold."--Orlando de La Cruz

Oh no.........Shampoo and Kodachi are cool characters.....I can't imagine 
Ranma 1/2 without Shampoo.....she is one of the coolest female 
characters...probably the most martial arts talented too.....though I am 
not one of those ppl who think Ranam should marry her or anything....I 
think Ranma should chose the road of a confirmed bachelor....now Akane, 
there is a annoying character ^_^

*************************************************************************
Akane stares at Ranma, "RANMA NO BAKA!!!!", pulls a mallet out of some 
ready-to-use-weapon-dimension, and prepares to send Ranma on a little 
excursion to the moon.......
Ranma sees another one fo Akane's bursts of violence coming and suddendly 
realizes that he doesn't have to take it, "MEGA-TON PUNCH!!!!!!!"
Akane flies out of the stratosphere......hopefully never to be seen again.
