i hope this has been done, just one of those concepts that hit me,
and i won't touch until after i determine if this latest travesty foisted
off on me by those lying little Bell Honda gravysucking...
sorry.

One of Nadoka's relatives turns out to be wealthy. VERY wealthy.
OBSCENELY wealthy. Shutaro Mendo wealthy. Leaves his/her wealth
behind, but doesn't like the current crop of legal eagles and yuppie
scum. HATES Genma as dishonorable and was part of the reason
that Ranma has to be a "man among men"- he's going to inherit
Daihatsu (or something). Relative passes on (not necessarily dying)
and Ranma suddenly finds out that when he hits eighteen, he's going
to have more money than the Kuno family.
          Will Nabiki suddenly take an interest? If so, don't forget how
easily she can manipulate her sister.
          Will Ranma's popularity suddenly reach an expotential (providing
Nabiki sells the information once she learns of it.)
          Will Ranma be able to handle advanced business management
classes? 
hmmm. just a thought.
