Title(s): Irony, Mother knows best

   After the failed wedding Nadoka takes Ranma and Akane away to Jubaan high
to get away from their troubles (Not a SM crossover, maybe a few cameos
though) and to teach Ranma a technique passed down inher family. The
teachings of the sith. When the Sith were wiped out by the Jedi, 1

I find this to be an example of an idea that makes no sense.  Nodoka does
not act even slightly like a Sith Lord nor display the slightest hint of
such abilities.  Nor do I think would Soun let Nodoka haul Akane away.

Well, to be fair, a Sith is certainly able to conceal their nature.  I
mean, in rhe movie Episode One, Palpatine didn't behave at all like his
alter-ego, Darth Sidious.  Nor did he advertise any Sith abilities.

 

reluctant to train in this technique because of the prominace of hate and
anger, but he trusts his mom cause she knows best, or does she. Is Nerima
ready for an Akane with the dark side of the force as her alley. What
arguments could Nadoka make to sway Ranma to the darkside of the force.

Should questions end with a question mark.

And I don't think Ranma thinks his mom knows best, or he wouldn't have
spent all that time running away from her.  Nor can I see Ranma
flourishing in the Dark Side.  Now Ryouga, on the other hand...

Agree here.  While Ranma might humour his mother because he wants to
please her, he's never shown much faith in her judgement.  He'd probably
be a lousy Sith... he doesn't really hate anyone, and doesn't stay angry
for long.  Look at all the crud he tolerates as it is.

Akane would be a shoo-in.  She has a lot of anger and resentment, and
has been known to take short cuts to become stronger (the super soba,
the battle dogi).  The dark side is the ultimate short cut: "quicker,
easier, more seductive".  Ryoga would also do well here.

Now, my main problem with this is thar it flies in the face of what is
established: that Sith Lords come in pairs.  If Nodoka wanted to train
both Ranma and Akane, we'd have three Sith as a group.
