heh.

free time spent?  What is it he does?  Ditto for Genma.  Nabiki too.  Heck
the whole Tendo Dojo could be a cover for the families Yakuza activities.

Most interesting.... The concept of Soun/Genma being Yakuza members
(medium placed, perhaps in disgrace from a higher up.. Nadoka ;) ), Nabiki
a professional money launderer (the pics to Kunou are just her 'legal'
income ;) ), Kasumi a smiling killer... and Ranma/Akane being trained as a
hunter pair. 

Puts a whole new angle on the china training trip where Ranma got cursed 
(running from Nadoka)... Now... Ukyou could be an abortive attempt to 
join two clans... Shampoo and co... hmmm.. Chinese gang?  Ryouga... not 
sure where to put him in.. his sense of direction makes him unlikely as a 
killer...  perhaps a lone wolf^H^H^Hpig?

Fascinating.

And of course, the most sinister... the Kuno family... drug barons ;)
