<long story about how Ranma is a cruel bastard>

would be, should be, all irrelevent.  The point is, there's no excuse 
for what Ranma did in that story.  NONE.  

Yup, and that's why I have to say:  Ranma is a heartless jerk, Ranma
doesn't deserve someone like Ukyou, Ranma doesn't deserve someone like
Akane, Ranma doesn't deserve someone like Shampoo, but Ranma and Kodachi
make a perfect pair. ;)

Seriously, though, the best two couples in Ranma 1/2 have to be:

Ukyou and Ryoga
Ranma-chan and Ryoga

Heh. :)
