they'll get Keaton to play Ranma in the live action movie?>

	Nice story but a bit disturbing in the ease and availability of the
cloning process. Still I can see MANY different ways to work on this
one. Here's my predictions (which are almost CERTAINLY wrong but what
the hell...)

nRanma- Maybe not so stable as you think. She'd probaly either use him
as muscle as a guy or prostitue (not literally) as a girl. I see this
Ranma as losing his self respect and a lot of his Martial edge.

uRanma- Probably the happiest of the gang of five. However he won't be
spending as much time on his art as he will behind a counter. This Ranma
will lose a bit of the arrogance and be a slighlty more upbeat and happy
individual. His fighting skills will probably go to hfil though.

sRanma- Here's where we'll see Ranma becoming a true fighter. Trained by
the best, to say nothing of constant run-ins with Mousse and Tarou.
There will be a noted drop of his gentler self as it's submerged in a
constant fight for survival. (not to mention keeping up with his
maritial duties in the bedroom) Emotionally and physically, he will be a
tiger.

kRanma- He's gonna snap. One two many run-ins with both the Kunos as
both Male and female and he's gonna lose it. Expect either a ferocious
yet tamed pet, ala Mr. Turtle, deadly to all but his doting mistress. Or
a fugitive, running like hell and ending up on the streets. The only
thing protecting him from being captured will be his wits and whatever
sneaky tricks he picks up from Kodachi.

aRanma- Of the five, this is the one most likely to be...well to be
Ranma. 

	Here's a FUNKY idea. Four or five years in the future, a great calamity
arises and the Earth is attacked by an incredibly powerfull force of
Darkness. The Ranma's lose their wives through the dark days that
follow. Apon remeeting and sharing their tells of lose and want, they
make a pack. To fight as one and bring the Dread Empire DOWN!!!

	Think a slighlty darker form of Gatachman (Ranman???)

aRanma- as Red clad leader 
uRanma- as Green clad stable and anchor for the others
kRanma- as Black clad dark & roguish warrior
sRanma- as Yellow clad feral warrior
nRanma- as Blue clad tachtictian and brains
