First round, and Ranma's at the beginning of the series. He might not
be able to win the first time...
It'd be a different story at the end of Volume 38, when Ranma had, of
course, defeated several sayajin-level fighters. We just can't have him
coming in out of the blue and flicking aside the very model of a modern
Youma General without getting in some hardcore training first.
Simply wouldn't be proper otherwise!
You really shouldn't mention lead-ins like that... It gets people
thinking.
Therefore, I dedicate this to Benjamin A. Oliver. You can lay the blame
for it solely on him.

THE MODERN YOUMA GENERAL
GENERAL:
I am the very model of a modern Youma General,
You can't tell if I'm vegetable, animal, or mineral,
I knew the Queen Serenity, and I fought the fight historical
>From Pluto's moon to Mercury, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with all the matters magical,
I spout incantations, both the simple and the radical,
About necromantic theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
And cheerfully I'll use it on whoever might have other views.
ALL:
And cheerfully he'll use it on whoever might have other views,
He is the very model of a modern Youma General.
GENERAL:
I'm very good at summoning a creature quite maniacal;
I'm on a first-name basis with things hallucigenical:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Youma General.
ALL:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Youma General.
GENERAL:
I know our mythic hist'ry and Queen Beryl has been deified;
I haven't any mercy; I've a pretty taste for genocide,
I speak most elegantly and my crimes are all quite heinous,
In battle I can floor the Senshi, foreign or indigenous,
I can tell untested minions from devil-beasts and youma lords,
I speak the croaking language of the Demon Frogs of Nephrite's horde,
Then I can hum a tune while leading army's 'cross a castle's moat,
And whistle jaunty airs while slicing open the defender's throats.
ALL:
And whistle jaunty airs while slicing open the defender's throats,
He is the very model of a modern Youma General.
GENERAL:
Then I can write a death warrant in Babylonic cuneiform,
And tell you ev'ry detail of Sailor Pluto's uniform:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Youma General.
ALL:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Youma General.
GENERAL:
In fact, I don't know what is meant by "neutron bomb" or "M-16",
And I can't tell by sight a modern rifle from a magazine,
When such affairs as ambush and surprises are my specialty,
And when I have no knowledge of emotions such as "loyalty",
When I don't know what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know no more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery--
In short, I've just a smattering of elemental strategy,
You could say I've never had to face opponents happily.
ALL:
You could say he's never had to face opponents happily,
He is the very model of a modern Youma General.
GENERAL:
For my military knowledge, though I'm evil and quite bloodthirsty,
Has only been updated to the beginning of the century;
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Youma General.
ALL:
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Youma General.
