Well, it's wrong for the reasons that Kodachi showed she was better than
Shampoo and Ukyou and didn't try to kill Akane ... And it would go
totally against the manga ... Ukyou deserves what she got in the story
for what she did at the wedding ... Shampoo should be tortured more...
And since Ranma dies of a broken heart, like he would have in the manga
if he hadn't of saved Akane, Ukyou would be left to comfort a dead body.
This way she's got to suffer KNOWING she killed both Akane AND Ranma
by helping Shampoo.
	If Kodachi didn't try to kill/injure/harm Akane was because she was worried
about the well-done Ranma that had been hit by the exploding food. Who knows
what she might've been up to in truth. And _that_ wouldn't go totally against
the manga, since we've seen Kodachi try to kill the other fiancées, even
chibi-Hinako in vol. 25.

Yes ... but either the other two left her out, for unknow reasons ... or she
wasn't interested. Maybe she was so insane she thought that SHE was the
bride and didn't even THINK of Akane? After all, she WAS in her wedding
dress...

	Of course, when it comes to the fanfic, you're right: Ukyou got what she
deserved.

Definately.

	Geeze, you _really_, and I mean _REALLY_, dislike Shampoo, don't you, Kun-chan
^_^ ? I wonder what sort of battle I'll have the --ahem-- Kunoichi in my fanfic
wage against the lavender Amazon... <grin>

Heh... some sort, I'm sure ... hopefully it will be very painful on Shampoo.

Ukyou isn't the goody two-shoes you think she is, and she doesn't
deserve to get Ranma after trying to kill Akane in the manga ... And
I don't think Ranma would want her any more after the manga ending,
anyway.
	Well, I don't know about that. I mean, the scene where Ukyou tosses exploding
okonomiyaki is from _original manga_, hence it was but a comical attack (we all
know that bombs in Rumik-verse do nothing but char people a little bit.)

I've already been through Ukyou's doings in the manga, so I won't bother
again ... and it wasn't comical because it was obviously, by Shampoo and
Ukyou's whole stance, words and actions, more than just an attack for a
laugh, IF it had of hit Akane. It hit Ranma, for the joke ... but IF it
had of his Akane, the intended victim, it was meant to kill, or at the
very least, seriously maimed. Imagine Akane ending up in the state Ranma
did - Ranma would have killed Shampoo and Ukyou with his bare hands.
Probably Kunou and Ryouga would have helped... that INTENT was murder...
what actually happened was something else.

	Besides, I still don't really think Shampoo and Ukyou wanted to get Akane with
exploding food --Akane was supposed to have been left in her room when Ranma
dashed out to get the Nannichuan water, right? I figure they were simply trying
to (desperately) stop the wedding altogether, not kill Akane.

Yeah, and the easiest way to stop the wedding altogether is to kill Akane -
otherwise she'd be still alive to marry Ranma again, later. If Ranma hadn't
of been in Akane's room, and, lets face it, why would they think Ranma
would be in there? He should be getting ready for the wedding, not sitting
in Akane's room, they would have gotten Akane in an enclosed space with
their bombs. Ranma only caught it because he left the room as the food was
getting thrown towards the door.

Kun-chan...
