A couple of continuity notes, which you may or may not 
care about: If the fic takes place early enough that the 
Furinkan students don't know about Ranma's curse, then 
Ranma won't have learned the Kachuu Tenshin Amiguriken 
yet. 
Did not know that at the time I wrote it and it slipped thru 
the editing. I'll fix it for the RAAC posting. 

He learned this after his first battle with Mousse, during 
which his secret was, um, exposed... and only Kuno still 
didn't get it. 
Mousse isn't in Nerima yet so they haven't fought. The 
school at large doesn't know about Ranma's curse, that's 
why the pig-tailed girl has her own fan-club. Imagine the 
misery the fan club members go through when they find 
out (EG)  

Also Ukyo didn't show up until long after that,
Ukyou shows up earlier in this series  In fact, she shows
up before Shampoo and Cologne.

and the name "Ranko" wasn't invented until quite late in 
the series (the arrival of Nodoka).
Ranma refers to his cursed form as Ranko when talking to 
Kunou because that name was already introduced during 
events that take place prior to this story. This is a change 
that is part of my alternate timeline. The name is still used 
for Nodoka's introduction, it's just been around longer.

countered with a proud tone, drawing his Bokken.
Bokken shouldn't be capitalized. Neither should a lot of 
the stuff in Kuno-chan's speech.
There were a number of unorthodox capitalizations. Some 
unintentional, were just mistakes, others delibrate to 
emphasized words and things important to the characters 
in place of italics or underlining. Kunou and his Bokken, 
Ukyou and her Okonomiyaki, Ranma and the Art, etc... 
I might get rid of them before I send it to RAAC or find
alternatives. 

In Part 2: Find out why Kunou seems to have finally 
lost it 
Assuming he ever had it....
This is Kunou we're talking about here... who can say?
