You've missed the obvious.
Just as Akane only hits Ranma when he threatens their future
marriage. (Which only their fathers are attempting to ensure, right?)
C-ko only cries at A-ko, when A-ko points out how C-ko isn't being a
proper mother to her. (Yes, getting her up in the morning, fixing her
lunch, worrying about the boys she's dating. C-ko is A-ko's substitute
mommy!)
Now go watch Project A-ko "Battles" on the Sci-Fi channel this Saturday,
then ask me to sign you up for the Project A-ko list, where we discover
the goddesses true natures.
