Has it always seemed me that in the relationship of Ranma and Akane, is a
potential problem the doubt that could end up having Akane (motivated or
not) that the interest of Ranma for her can only be for the ambition of
ending up possessing the dojo... after all, and from her point of view that
another thing could make it attractive to Ranma?
Starting from that, and did looking for a situation that could eliminate
that doubt factor, remember the juxtaposici�n history... that such if,
instead of being an exchange between Ranma and Ataru, had the change taken
place between Akane and Ukyo?
Starting from this idea, the later development can be quite substantial:
Imagine Ranma choosing Akane for on the pact among their parents (after
everything, Ukyo would become an engaged one had left double), and forcing
to an exit of the roof of the Tendo. Ukyo transformed into the heiress of
the style of martial arts of the Tendo, and the absence of a heir on the
part of the Saotome...
Here I am come to the memory the episode in that Genma names Ryoga its
heir... Ignoring all that happened, and believing that Ukyo is Akane (of
course that Genma would convince him with sentences like Ranma he/she
abandoned to its engaged one and he/she escaped with that small Kuonji"),
Ryoga would accept without a lot of question that Genma was its sensei, and
that " Akane " was its engaged one...
