IMBS 9 was a great installment, by the way.  But:

      My questions about Ranma's true motivations remain unanswered even
now... but they are probably moot as this death is _very_ unlikely to be
the last.

My strongest reaction to Nabiki's death is that Ranma now cannot
ever, ever be redeemed.

The problem is, as far as I'm concerned, Nabiki Isn't Quite Dead Yet.  I
think you guys are making unwarranted assumptions here.  Yeah, she's
very severely injured, almost unto death, but timely action *might* save
her.
