Even Then... not always... Take Twoflower's "Give Peace A Chance"... We
have a PACIFIST in amongst the Ranma cast. Kosumo hasn't thrown a punch in
about a year, but still beats Ranma and Ryoga without breaking a sweat...
simply because he used his brain rather than sheer might...
No, that's not the case. By 'Might' the refference isn't simply to
strength, after all if that were the case Ryouga would demolish everyone in the
manga. Might is a generic term for the combination of factors that are brought
to bear in the confrontation. In Martial arts contests, it's speed, strength,
technique, tactics, and a willingness to fight dirty. At least in Ranma for
the most part. I could list different components of might in various forms of
conflict, but in your example, Kosumo won through supperior might, it's just
that his might manifested in supperior speed, techniques and tactics.
