This incarnation of Ranma seems downright frightening.
Initially, I assumed him to be an irredemable sociopath, the type
of man Nodoka would cut down like a mad dog rather than expect him to
uphold an honorable promise. But you did a good job of hinting at the
stregnth of the demons within his soul and the fact that part of him is
still fighting them down.
I'm still scared to ask what he did to Ryoga and Shampoo (if
either of them are alive, odds are they _really_ have a reason to be angry
with Saotome)
