A drug that messes with Chi to that great of an extent? Then Ranma has
just died, or has life threatening health compliations. That's just how
Chi is reported to work. As I said, Ranma is really a -bad- choice for
the tone of the story. >>
Just out of curiosity, why do you assume that the drug messes up chi
itself? All it has to do is make sure the person doesn't use chi blasts --
therefore, it all it really has to do is mess up the person's mind to the
point where they can't form the blast, or maybe causes the person to decide
against using chi blasts.
Well, if it messes up his mind that much, then it's not going to be much
of a hunt, is it? Something that messes him up that badly is bound to
have other effects that would lessen his effectiveness, unless Ranma knows
Drunken Fist, or something similar that would take advantage of what would
normally be a weakness.

The sardines weren't worth the trouble. A few more shots, then
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode. Ducking around a corner,
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of
my Anime supplier.
One look at his face and I knew that I was betrayed. "Tell me."
I insisted. He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance. Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao." he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
