Oh, we all know who the nastiest one is. Her name is Shampoo! Shampoo no
yariman!!!

I Second that motion :)

I want to start a new motion.......the nastiest character of Ranma 1/2 is 
without a doubt........AKANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sou desu ka? What makes you think this, besides the fact that she doesn't
try to murder people (*try* I said... that dsoesn't include her cooking),
she doesn't run around trying to force herself onto guys who don't want
her... in face, she doesn't force herself at all... she gives her life
to save Ranma from dying... She doesn't attack the other fiancees of
Ranma... She would marry Ranma, even if she didn't want to (but she does)
just to get him nanniichuan water? That makes her nasty, hmm?

Are you saying that Shampoo and Ukyou would not do the same as Akane 
concerning Ranma?......not to mention, Ranma isn't a very decisive guy, 

Yeah, didn't see Shampoo trying to give her life to save Ranma... only saw
her trying to get in bed with him... Ukyou? Never even mentioned her, but
she's nice enough, too, just like Akane... though she's more violent to
other people than Akane is... Didn't see Akane bash up Tsubasa like Ukyou
did even though he asked her for a date, just like he asked Ukyou...

if he really hated Shampoo and Ukyou, he would have gotten rid of them 
early on (that doesn't mean killing them), Akane is just mean, and she is 

Never said Ranma hated them, either...

a boring character.......predictable and nothing special.....and the 

You still haven't explained how Akane is mean.

attacking part.......though I have to admitt Shampoo and Ukyou probably 
attacted Akane in the beginning, through out most of the series, they don't 
go around ambushing her.......she isnt a good enough martial artist to 

Shampoo goes around ambushing Akane. At ever chance she gets, Shampoo tries
to get rid of Akane. Even at the wedding, Shampoo was trying to blow Akane
up (though it hit Ranma)... As was Ukyou. I couldn't see Akane doing that.
She'd just run away, crying, like she did in her semi-day dream when she
imagined Ranma marrying Ukyou.

defend herself too well anyway.....though Akane may not attack the other 
fiancees, she certainly beats up on Ranma enough.....how many times does 
that sequence have to happen?.......not to mention Shampoo and Ukyou have 

It needs to happen the same amount of times that Ranma deserves it... ie,
all of them!

valid reasons for being ranma's finacees......after all Ukyou was 
promised to Ranma when he was young just as he was promised to 
Akane....in Shampoo's case, it was wholly Ranma's fault, he can't say no 
to a fight and got what he deserved (sorry if I sound slightly 

But Shampoo doesn't have a reason. She's in Japan, now, not China, and
Ranma's not going back to China with her, either, so the laws are different,
so it doesn't count.

heartless), now he should be honorable to deal with the concequences of 
his action.......is it Shampoo's fault that she would be dishonored if 
she doesn't marry Ranma?

And since Ranma and Akane love each other, and they finally know it
themselves, it shows that both Ukyou and Shampoo don't give a damn how
Ranma feels about anything... they'd rather kill Akane to let themselves
be happy, than let Ranma be happy.

Kun-chan...
