Here's an idea.  Happi still trained both Soun and Genma right?  

Happi

knows Jusenkyou.

    Now, the first time that Soun changed around the old pervert, he 

thinks

it's a result of the cursed springs.  This results in him explaning the
springs to Soun and Genma.  So when Genma has only one son and Soun has
three 'daughters', Genma takes Ranma to Jusenkyou as the first stop on 

his

10 year training trip...

Nice thought. I'll probably use that as the reason that Genma knows 
about Jusenkyou, but I would prefer that Ranma not have gotten used to 
being cursed yet. If he had been cursed around age 6 or 7 (before he met 
Ukyou), he would have spent far more time in alternate-form than Akane. 
Thus, Jusenkyou remains the last stop.

Maybe you should introduce a nice Shimeru boy as a rival for Akane's
hand.  Since this Kasumi is vocally against a marriage with an

outsider,

she might try to arrange a "tribal" marriage for Akane.  Someone who
could present a serious threat to Akane's heart.

     This would work.  Ranma (original) could never turn away from a
challenge, even when he didn't what the prize.  Even when he really 

didn't

want to *get* the prize.

Yes, such as his fight with Mousse.

Here's a cool idea.  What if Akane can't decide?  She's always

picking

a

new name every week, deciding it doesn't 'sound right' and then
discarding it for a new name.  Her family is heartily sick of it.

    "I am the Blue Thunder of Furinkan High!"
    "Blue Thunder?  Wasn't he Shooting Star last week?"
    :)

Right, just like Kunou can't decide on a nickname.

    It seems that both Nabiki and Akane change where Ranma can see 

them

before he 'finds out' about the family trait.  Why didn't he pick up on 

it?

Ranma might not be able to find a clue if it was taped to his forehead, 

but

he is very aware of his surroundings.

Ranma-chan didn't actually notice that Nabiki was female during the two 
seconds that she saw her before she changed to male. The part about 
Akane changing during the sparring match is an error.

    Given that Ranma's curse is explained after the demonstration, I 

would

think that everyone would be more surprised.  After all, the only 

effect

that water has on them is that cold showers are a good way to switch 

back to

normal.

Okay.

    Would the chitsuion (sp?) have any effect on an FKC change?

Probably not, since its magic is tied to that of Jusenkyou.
