I looked at the title and imagined Ranma leading a Communist takeover
of Nerima...:)
   I loved the writing. Many of the comments really were aimed well;
especially, to my mind, the ones given to Akane. A wonderfully (horribly?)
unexpected ending.
   On the flip side...like you said at the beginning, it's out of
character for Ranma. Despite his curse, the multiple fiancees, the fact
that half the people in the world seem to want revenge, etc, he is
portrayed in the Anime as being fairly cheerful and full of life. I just
can't see him doing all this without a reason.
   And there are literally hunderdes of reasons to choose from.
Kodachiexperimenting with a "Love potion", a personal tragedy...
   Then again, the point of the story might be the slow buildup of
frustration and hate...
