Hi.
In Webdragon's fic _Nullifier 122_, also known as _Ranma X 2_,
there is a key scene, where the magical nullifier is applied in
the bathtub. The scene has Ranma sitting in the tub, washing
himself with soap and toying with the nullifier bottle. It falls
into the tub and Ranma isn't able to locate, let alone recover, it
in the soapy water - tha magic takes its course.
Unfortunately there is one catch: Japanese baths don't work that
way. It's *very* rude to wash yourself in the tub - you are
supposed to be clean before you get in. I a japanese bath -
public or private - you wash yourself with more or less cold water
(depending of how traditional you are :) and *after* you are
clean you get into the hot water basin to soak. cleaning yourself
in that water would be pretty rude and disgusting, since other
people (be it strangers in a public bath, or other family members
in a private one) are going to use it, too.
The next rewrite of _Nullifier 122_ should take that into
consideration. Ranma may not be the most polite person, but he is
not a rude pig.
