Can you say end of engagement? Can you say Don't want to
ever see you again? Can you say I like cats better than I
like you four!?

Have to agree here.  Ranma hates to be forced into anything.  He has
consistently refused to conform for anyone, the sole exception being his
mother.  There is no guarantee that all four fiancees would try to
reshape him, however.  It is a strong possibility.

If Kasumi can stay out of it ( hard as that is to picture )
she could be the winner here, or if she can persuade Akane
not to tinker with Ranma, but to teach, teach all the things
Genma didn't, like learning to enjoy learning in a school or
politeness, diplomacy, the forms of everyday life. By adding
to Ranma's skills, not trying to remake him into an image of
her ideal man who would have to love her but trying to be
both a friend, a fiancee and a mother, all at once. If

Very difficult.  It's hard to teach someone without your own ideas
rubbing off at least a little.  I'm not even sure it's possible to love
someone as both a fiancee and a parent-figure.

Kasumi has any reason to believe Ranma will get his original
memories back and tells Akane and Akane listens and behaves
appropriately, she could win his heart and have a more
civilized lover as well. Especially if he ages at an
accelerated rate, even if he doesn't, a sixteen year
difference has been overcome before. It would depend on how
much she loves HIM!
