	? I think you kind of missed the point in that episode.  Mousse 
never intended to turn Akane into a duck.  His kidnapping of Akane was a 
ruse to lure Ranma in so that he could turn *Ranma* into a duck.  He 
even said, "The yahzu-ni-chuan water is too precious to be wasted on 
Akane Tendo.  It's only for Ranma..."  The water he was spraying all 
over the place with the giant hose, the water that Akane got hit with, 
was plain water.  (Then why did the tiger turn into a duck?  Takahashi 
plot inconsistency.)

Why did all the fish in that fishtank in the carnival which got the water
_also_ turn into ducks?
