So.  

This is a Sailor Moon, Ranma 1/2 crossover.

Why?

To be specific, what are the senshi there for?  

So far, apparently, their role is to go, "Ooh!  Aah!  We are 
insignificant before your godlike magnificence and we grovel before 
you, insect-like superheroines with the power to erase all life from
the planet that we are."

Exactly why do the Saotomes need these second-raters?  Clearly the 
sensible thing to do would be when they see a demon to call up the guys 
with the power to handle the situation and then go home.  Or maybe do 
crowd control.  

Now, to be sure I have serious doubts about Akane or even Ranma being 
that powerful.  Cologne isn't that powerful.  Happosai isn't that 
powerful.  And while it's not unreasonable that Ranma at his height may 
be somewhat better than those two masters, it seems to me unlikely that 
Akane would ever be so great as to overshadow them into insignificance. 
I particularly balk at the idea that Ranma and Akane could stay that 
good without doing any practising.  Martial Arts is not like riding a
bicycle.  If you don't use it, you lose it.  

Given that you have revealed that Ranma and Akane were rocketed to Earth 
from a far off planet as children, the question remains: the role of the 
Senshi in this partnership is what exactly?  Well...I suppose they do 
dress like cheerleaders.  

A word of advice, though.  Batman-Superman team-ups do not rely 
primarily on repeated demonstrations of how outmatched and insignificant 
the man in the cowl is.
