Alright, this isn't going to be the nicest of reviews I've ever done.  
But since this was one of the most blatent examples of character-bashing 
I've ever seen, I felt it shouldn't go without comment.


     <Slap>  "You are perhaps one of the the worse excuse for a 
martial artist I have ever heard of.  You and Kunou are alike in many 
BTW, you don't mention anything about martial arts in this whole fic 
(which is more a piece of dialogue, actually). 

Martial arts aren't honourable by nature.  Neither are martial artists.  
SOME styles are honourable, but many are not.  And among the ones that 
are, hardly any agree on exactly what honour is.

There is no "martial artist's code".

ways.  You both wish only to believe in a delusion rather than reality. 
It wasn't Ranma's fault that you got your curse and it wasn't his fault 

Knocking him into the spring doesn't make it at least partially Ranma's 
fault?  That's funny.  Ranma thinks otherwise, even if it is 
reluctantly.

that Akane likes him.  You call yourself honorable yet you sleep with 

Ryouga's never blamed Ranma for that.  In fact, he gave up Akane when he 
saw that she loved Ranma.

my sister.  You've seen her naked and she has told you her deepest 

Ryouga doesn't enjoy sleeping with her, doesn't take advantage of her 
while doing so, and has stated he does so in order to help protect her, 
which is at least partially true.  Also, he's never seen her naked, and 
she's never been shown as in the habit of confiding her deepest thoughts 
and secrets in P-chan.

thoughts and secrets and still you blame everything on Ranma.  

He does not.

Ranma this, Ranma that.  Ranma prepare to die, right?  Had it been 

Incidentally, are you aware of exactly how many times Ryouga has saved 
Ranma's life?

anyone else, they would have left after the first hour or so.  He 
waited for three days for you.  The fight was BEHIND your house.  

The fight was half a kilometer away from his house.  In addition, Ranma 
knew damn well about Ryouga's sense of direction when he agreed to the 
duel in the first place.

How hard can that be?  10 meters! All you had to do was take 

Oh, let's attack Ryouga on his sense of direction.  It's not like he can 
help it.

twenty steps!!!!!!  Who told you to follow him?  'He made you life Hell 
right?'  You followed him.  It was your own choice!  I think your curse 

Yes it was.  How exactly does that make it Ryouga's fault that Ranma 
knocked him in a cursed spring, pray tell?

suits you.  You are swine.  Ranma is honorable.  Kunou is 

Ranma tried to hurt Ukyou so badly she would hate him, after telling her 
that he would take care of her forever, because he didn't want to tell 
her he loved Akane.  This included him trying to beat her up. Oh, very 
honourable.

Kunou tried to take advantage of Onna-Ranma when she was unconscious.  
Picture of honour.

honorable.  Heck, Genma is more honorable than you.

Genma tried to beat up his own wife because she was about to find out 
about Ranma's curse.  He also drugged her another time, for the same 
reason.  He's about as honourable as pond scum.

Note that these are only single examples for each one; I can give more, 
if you'd like.

If Ryouga's done stuff approaching that, I'd like to hear about it.

Get out and stay out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Oh, and incidentally, is this supposed to be Nabiki, who couldn't care 
less about her sister, or Kasumi, who wouldn't speak like this to the 
devil incarnate?

If you don't like a character, that is your right and your privilige.  
But to write a fic for the express purpose of attacking a character is 
in extremely poor taste, to say the least.
