While I am not sadistic, just curious and for want of variety, this is
something I have wanted to see for a while. Shown that a better world
would have existed without one's birth (or birth and early death), what
would that person do? Would they proceed to kill themselves, keep living
a useless life, deny the possibility of such a world or do as Ranma did in
this story and try to make things better?
While, "It's a Wonderful Life" is a classic and writing remakes of it is
a Christmas thing to do... Sometimes you have to wonder just what might
happen it the supernatural being that came along showed a better or even
unaffected alternate world than the current one, just because you weren't
born. Worse yet is if said supernatural being was on the side of Heaven
(or just a nice spirit) and the alternate world really was better.
Can you imagine Belldandy trying to show Ranma or Ryoga (or anyone else)
that things would _not_ have been better off if he hadn't been born only
to find out that the _reverse_ was true?
