Did Nadoka ever find out about Ranma's curse in the manga/anime? If she
did then how did it happen and when? And what was the result. I've been
needing to know this for a fic I'm trying to pump out. Thanks,
Not knowing enough Japanese to translate v. 36 of the manga;
It comes out that Nodoka has some kind of treasure in the family shrine.
Genma makes multiple efforts to steal it, proving beyond any doubt what
a reprehensibly selfish person he is.
In the process, Genma first uses the threat of the promise and Ranma's
curse to keep Ranma from interfering; however, after a certain point is
reached Ranma decides that his mother deserves to know the truth. Genma
attempts, despite Nodoka's growing suspicions, to prevent Nodoka
learning the truth; this eventually ends with Genma accidentally hurling
Nodoka off a high oceanside cliff. Ranma leaps after her, and manages to
catch her and use her katana as a landing post before they land on the
rocks below. Genma then tries- again- to snag the treasure, and ends up
dunking all three in the drink. Nodoka, apparently, states that her son
is an excellent man, even when he's a woman... and Genma escapes with
the treasure, which (as far as I can tell from the picture) is a piece
of paper with Ranma's name on it.
Nodoka then insists on Ranma buying something for Akane, which triggers
the standard 'fiancee melee'
Hope someone with more knowledge of Japanese can fill in the gaps.
