Or does Ranma turn into ANOTHER boy when splashed with cold water?

Since the Instant Nannichuan didn't turn Ranma into a hermaphrodite, or
Genma into a man-panda, I think it can be safely assumed that Nannichuan
itself is not a cumulative, but rather an overriding curse- that is, it
eliminates all other Jyusenkyo curses in favor of itself... and since
neither Ranma or Genma turned into anyone else, I'll argue that
Nannichuan only changes its victims into male versions of themselves,
which would make it an effective cure for any male curse victims.

Ah, but was the Instant Nanniichuan made from REAL Nanniichuan water, or
was it truly the magical junk that Cologne said it was? The jury's still
out on that one.

The only one to get a multiple dose of Jyusenkyo water was PTarou. We can
atribute it to the already multiple nature of his curse (which means that
he'll never get cured, 'cause Nanniichuan water would turn him into a
man-thing, not that he wants to be cured), or the springs are by their very
nature culmative (same result, except that NO ONE can be cured).

The world conforms to the Writer, not necessarily the Writer to the
World.

Yep. Even in a pregenerated world like R1/2, you can twist and warp and
FUBAR the world to make it into your heart's (or hearts' ;) desire.

Meaning if you're sick enough to want a story with a hermaphroditic
Ranma, by all means go ahead and chalk it up to cumulative Jyusenkyo
curses-- and watch the flames roll in. };-{D
