So what has changed about the situation so that Shampoo is no longer
afraid to face Ranma as a girl?  Doesn't she have to accept him as a

the offer?

She has seen enough of him and Akane to know that he won't accept
immediately. And, since plans call for him to be dead before long, this is
good enough.
