hmmm. saw this on the archive and was intrigued after that
"martial arts softball game". let's see if i got this right.
(BTW i saw that "disguises made real" in an SRU/Ranma
story.)

Ranma Saotome > Priss Asagiri (without the hard suit, alas)

The Hardsuit is in the van.  

Akane Tendo     > Sailor Mercury (much more analytical and
intelligent)
P-chan/Ryouga > Luna (much more analytical and intelligent,
also less prone to getting lost)
Tatewaki Kuno  > Indiana Jones (much more competent)
Kodachi Kuno   > Naga the White Serpent (laugh will be even
worse if the chimera story was any indication)

Most importantly, a competent sorceress, the only one likely
to be able to undo the spell.  Except she won't want to.  

Nabiki Tendo     > Playboy Bunny (this has some seriously
amusing possibilities, particularly with photos being taken
that will turn up later), better yet, have Nabiki be "off"
somewhere when the dispelling occurs so that some of it
remains as a curse/running joke. Nabiki turning into a
Playboy Bunny when trigger A (cold water, night, full moon,
sneezes, someone snaps their fingers, whatever) is applied.
There's an old saying in the teachings of Bushido that "the
feeling of distress is the root of benevolence." Nabs could
really go through some major soul-searching.

I doubt it.  How much soul searching does Ranma do as a result
of an embarassing transformation?  

Yuka & Sayuri  > Yuri & Kei, Dirty Pair (Nerima is *SO*
doomed. At the very least, i would expect major property
devaluation.)

Particularly considering that the spaceship is theirs.  

Hiroshi Daisuke> Ken & Ryu, Street Fighter (is this Alpha,
II, III, or which version?)

the Aston Martin sounds like James Bond will also attend.

I'm surprised that Kuno didn't come as Bond.  Jones is a scruffy
sort, and not really a great lover.  He must have had advance notice
of Ranma's costume.
