I can't imagine Ranma-neko disposing of the bodies the way the killer has.
Ranma hasn't shown any more intelligence while in the Neko-ken than a
normal Ranmaverse animal -- uh, perhaps even less now that I think about
it.

Also, the killer talks during one of the murder/rapes.  Ranma-neko can't
talk, so if Ranma's doing this in the Neko-ken, it's some new, twisted form
(which is entirely possible, although if you ask me that would be cheating
-- it would be akin to having the killer be somebody who's not in the cast
at all.)

Um, I wasn't exactly clear with this. I wasn't saying that neko-Ranma is
the killer, just that Ranma goes out at nights. The fact he returns home
in neko mode though brings up the possibility that fear and other
emotions brought on from killing will allow ordinary cats to send him
into nekoken instead of the usual catatonic state.

The catnip dump at the Tendo's could be Happosai or someone else having
revenge against Ranma or that the catnip is there to reduce the
possibility of Ranma stopping the murders with an easily executed plan.


>From another post: I must say the idea of Ukyou being the killer and
Konatsu is the one dumping the bodies to protect her is a thought I
didn't have, but is quite possible.


So many suspects and so few clues.
