Hey now, the Warui Ketsu Ken is of my creation... you don't even know what it
looks like yet! After you read the fic's you might be terrified of it ;)
However I'm not sure WHO will get the technique. None of the character's
really have a knack for cussing except occasionally Ranma or Ryouga, and they
have plenty of attacks...hmm...

Ah! So we're talking about cussing, are we? I didn't know that.

Well, lets have a run-down.

Ranma, Ryouga: Too powerful already. Skip 'em.

Akane: Although a candidate, she's just too nice a girl to be cussing. Hot
temper, yes; bad mouthing, no.

Shampoo: Doesn't have the language skills. Background is right, tho.

Mousse: Doesn't fit with his MA style.

The Kunous: Too refined. Probably never spoke a cuss-word in their lives.

Cologne, Happousai: Too old to be cussing. "Mind your language, young man!
*BAP!*"

Genma, Soun: U nuts? They don't deserve such a powerful technique!

Ukyou: Lesse... blue-collar worker, not afraid of mouthing off, needs a
special technique, I'm not sure but probably swears like a sailor (This
technique would be perfect for Benten in UY, but this ain't UY). Yep! I
think we found ourselves a winner!

Have it be Ukyou that gets the technique. She's the one character in R1/2
that strikes me as the most... well, redneck. Not that she has bad
breeding, just that she's a country-girl, and most likely to have it
besides Ranma and Ryouga (but we've already excluded them).

	No no no, it's Kasumi who should use that technique.  She' perfect for it.

Well it depends. I had two different translations. one said Warui Ketsu Ken = 
'Bad Ass Punch' and the other said Warui Ketsu Ken = 'Fist of the Evil 
Donkey'. Now, if it turns out to be the second translation I got, Akane will 
-DEFINATLY- get it. Her and evil donkeys work perfectly. Now, if it turns out 
to be the origional, direct translation, then I'm not sure. 

If anyone wants to help me come up with cool Japanese attack phrases for Apsu, 
then here is a personality synopsis.

Apsu acts a bit like Ranma, only a bit shy around people he doesn't know 
(unless they ticked him off.). He has money and uses it to his advantage 
whenever possible (however he doesn't 'act' rich.)  His parents moved to 
America but he flatly refused to join them, so they left him with a medium 
sized house, enough money to last for 20 years (no real #, just enough to last 
him until he is 36, no matter how much he spends ;) His fighting ability is 
NOT world class like Ranma or Ryouga, however when he gets the chance to learn 
or train he will pay attention and learns very fast. He likes hard rock music, 
video games, computers, mass destruction, and girls. (although his shyness 
around them delays him considerably in picking one up.)

Remember that I'm not giving away book secrets on the 'new character'. 
Supposedly he was there the entire time but was ignored by the series ;)
