OK, Ranma walks into Joketsuzoku, proposes to the most eligible young
maiden in the village and meets the challenge required by the village
custom, in front of the entire village.

At this point village law applies and she is forbidden to reject him.
(Not that she'd want to ;-)  They are at that moment married.

He then leaves the village and spends the next year trying to ignore her.

If anybody has a suit to raise here, it's Shamp.

If it had actually happened the way you say, yeah. But what you are
describing is either an Elseworld, or it is from Shemp, er, Shamp's
distorted perspective. Ranma was not aware of the village custom. He
never proposed or consented to marriage.

I've been looking for someway for these three to combine into one and do
him. (Ala K1BS)  After all, what aspect of Woman do these three lack
when combined?  (Mapping here is: Ukyou == Athena, Shamp == Hera,
Akane == Aphrodite.  Right?)

Maybe you've got the last two mixed up? Akane seems more Hera-ish to
me. I don't see her as an Aphrodite, although the male population of
Furinkan seems to think I'm wrong.

"Aphrodite, you uncute tomboy?"

Hey, how did you get in here... no, wait, I didn't really mean it, I
was just...

<Poof!>

Bwee! Bwee! Oink! Oink!

(For calling her an uncute tomboy, Aphrodite re-activates Gary's curse
from the revengefics. P-Gary tries to reach the doorknob so he can go
find some hot water. Maybe he'll be back later...)
