Lets see. Who did the anti-tunnle of love? Ukyou. Who tried to sleep with
Ranma and see him naked in the bath while pretending to still be sick?
<snip>
she's as bad as the two, as shown on numerous occasions in the manga.
Especially when she joins with them in trying to kill Nabiki, trying to
kill Hinako, and trying to force her valentine's gift on him.
Seems Shampoo was justified with the nickname "Not-nice girl". (Not that
she's any better) ;)

Shampoo, Ukyou and Kodachi are the triple-headed wannabe Ranma's wife
beast of Nerima. They all do property damage together (destroying the
Saotome house), kill 'obsticals' together (even unarmed, non martial
artists and teachers, even when they are small girls), and they all
bash up Ranma together when he's not doing what they want! I was rather
surprised when Kodachi DIDN'T try to kill Akane at the wedding ......
Maybe she's not as crazy as she used to be?

But only
Kodachi prooved she was better than Ukyou and Shampoo when she did NOT
try to kill Akane at the wedding.
OOOoooooooh. You KNOW that you are on the wrong side of the morality
barrier when even Kodachi doesn't sink that low. ^_^

That's true!

Ranma doesn't love Ukyou
and only thinks of her as a friend, just like Akane thinks of Ryouga as a
friend.
Which is why Ryouga would ultimately lose; he'd already lost. Akane was
Ranma's before he had ever become P-chan.

And this is why Ukyou, Shampoo and Kodachi already lost as well...

And, besides, Ukyou's love is selfish. She
doesn't give a damn about what Ranma wants, any more than Shampoo and
Kodachi give a damn about what he wants. She'd rather kill off rivals than
wish him happiness. At least Ryouga left Akane to find happiness with Ranma
instead of trying to kill him at his own wedding.
Go Ryouga! He's come a long way from the Martial Arts Figure-Skating
Tournament. There, he said something to the effect of taking Akane when he
wins. Ranma showed great honor by fighting him still, stating that Akane
"isn't just a pet, y'know". And let's not forget the time he tried to
capture Akane's love with his little koi-fishing rod. (too bad he got Ranma
instead. heh! ^_^)

Heh... he also tried to join Akane in the bath when he was turned into a
little kid. Bad Ryouga!

Doesn't matter what everyone else thinks. It's only what Ranma thinks.
And he wants to marry Akane because he loves her. If you want evidence
of where Ranma says he loves her, he says it in the final story. Also,
<snip>
kisses and attempted kisses. It's obvious, too, that he enjoyed it more
than Ukyou's trying to force herself on him, too, in that manga where she
pretended to be sick - all Ranma wanted to do was get RID of her.
It seems that Akane has more sex-appeal for Ranma in her pinky than the
others have in their whole bodies if ALMOST kissing him can do that to him,
when even full-body contact can't for Shamp's and Ukyou.

Game, set, and match!

It's all because of love. ^_^

Please show me some proof, in the manga, of where Ranma loves Ukyou. Is
it, perhaps, only in your own mind? If so, then that's only your opinion,
not even based on facts. Please provide facts, supporting your opinion.

If you can't find any facts, then WHY do you think this way? Just because
she's your favourite character? Even so, you shouldn't say that Ranma
thinks one thing (ie. you saying that Ranma loves her) when he doesn't.
(claps) Well said, Kun-chan, well said!

*takes a bow* Thank you, thank you...

Another Ukyou thing ... Take Ranma's position as a macho guy into account.
He hates being called gay, as some people often call him because he
turns into a girl, and he goes on about how he's a MAN all the time...
He's very homophobic ... Do you think that his (very, very slow) mind
would be able to get over the fact that 'Hey, that's Ucchan, the boy
I always fought!' and change it into 'Ukyou, she's a cute girl who
dresses like a man all the time'? Even if he DID manage to think that,
with his macho image, can you see him marrying someone who DRESSES like
a man all the time? It wouldn't look too good, as a macho guy, to
marry someone who LOOKS like a guy, ne? Anything that makes him look
gay/effeminate/not a 'real' man, he'll avoid like the plague. Him
marrying Ukyou will make him think that others see him as not a 'real'
man because Ukyou's not a 'real' woman - she's been a MAN for ten years.
And she isn't trying to become a woman any more ... she gave that up
after it failed, completely, when she was pretending to be sick.

Kun-chan...
