What's that got to do with Ryouga confessing love or not??????

The point is, Dear Kun-chan, that Ryouga no Kamisama has offended Akane
DEEPLY, but she doesn't know it yet.  He DOES know it, and that adds to his
cowardice.

Not really, it just shows that he can't talk to Akane at all. He's too
shy to.

I take it you didn't read the episode with the dougi? That proves beyond
doubt that Akane's full potential at that time is much better than how good
Ranma was then, too. And it was nearing the end of the manga, as well.

Zen will re-read his manga...

Enjoy!

Kun-chan...
