I see two ways you can take this. First, you can take the Elm St. style,
which is the deadly horror film style. This has all the standard problems
with Ranma/(anything dark) in that Ranma itself isn't dark, but it also has a
few other problems, primarily along the lines that Ranma and most of the
other regulars have phenomonal chi powers which (IMO, of course) should be
capable of actually damaging, if not outright killing, Freddy. I mean, yeah,
he's a big bad-ass, but he ain't that cool. Now, I don't believe anyone in
the Ranmaverse has actually *KILLED* anyone.
One might be able to argue the Saffron case, but even then the 'killed'
individual came back in one form or another.
OTOH, the Ranmaverse characters may kill Freddy, but will he stay dead?
