Sure, he's attacked Ranma on numerous occasions, brandishing pointy
objects; which one of Ranma's rivals hasn't done that?  And Ranma is
more than capable of defending himself.  Sure, he kidnapped Akane and

some others. Ick, oh yeah... one where Ranma mentally became a girl... it's

And hey, Mousse's FIRST and only reason to kill Ranma was love. Good reason.
Ryouga also is trying to kill Ranma for the love of Akane, but FIRST it was
