The End of All Things: Genma�s Trial
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ranma 1/2 & Urusai Yatsura belong to their owners and King of Fighters
theirs. Sailor Moon belong to their owners.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This transcript was released to the Tokyo National Times Press as an
agreement with the parties involved to inform the public on the final
endings of parties involved, known as the Nerima Wrecking Crew. Also to this
agreement we will stop calling for the public executions of Genma Saotome,
Nabiki Tendo, Akane Tendo, and Xian Pu of China.
To the readers, only certain segments of the transcripts will be published
from the four trials will be published and aired internationally. Many civil
groups have given outcries that these trials are just for the media to raise
ratings and have something to report. Some have stated that the situation
that existed in the Nerima Ward has been blown out of proportion by the
media and Ranma Saotome. To this statement look at the damage lists, study
the file footage taken by the locals, and listen to the eyewitness
testimony. We do not need to sensationalize this story it is on the edge of
unbelievable as the stories of the Juuban Senshi and Tomobiki.

Case 137: Saotome, Genma vs The World
Bailiff Officer: All rise, the court in now in session. Court case number
137 of the World Court in The Hague, Netherlands, Saotome, Genma verses the
26 nations involved in these proceedings.
Head Judge John Marshall: Is the prosecution prepared to present their case?
Prosecution: Yes your honor.
Head Judge John Marshall: Is the defense ready and please control your
client, bowing and scraping on the floor will not influence the court.
Defense: Errrr�. Yes your honor. (Defendant is dragged off the floor and in
to seat.)
Head Judge John Marshall: Before we begin I would like to speak a few words
for fellow judges and myself. This is the first time in world history that a
person has been brought before the World Court and tried for crimes that
have been not Crimes Against Humanity. The crimes this man is charged with
are spread across the whole of Asia. He will be tried before the world as
the countries involved agreed that this is the fairest solution. The court
will not be influenced by outside groups, such as the torch bearing mob
outside who wish to burn Genma at the stake for his alleged tortures done to
his son or the Christian�s and Islamic�s clergies call for a holy war
against the defendant. The defendant�s sniveling and neither whining nor
changing species will influence this court. May whatever deities be watching
guide this court to the right course.
Prosecutions please read the charges being brought against the defendant and
begin opening statements.
Prosecution: Yes your honor. The charges are as follows 5396 counts of petty
theft, 2564 counts of major theft, 2 counts of child abandonment, 726 counts
of child endangerment, 245 counts of child abuse, 63 counts of sexual
assault, 29 counts of attempted murder, 579 counts of accessory to murder, 1
count of harboring a known felon, 56 counts of rioting, 36 counts of fraud,
and 39 counts of destruction of property.
Your honors this creature is the personification of the worst of humanity.
He ranks up there with Adolf Hitler or Josef Stalin for the abuse and evil
he has perpetrated on the people around him and his family. For twenty-nine
years he has launched a reign of terror across Asia disrupting and ruining
families. His thieving and devilish way started when he signed on with the
convicted monster Happousi, the Nerima Lecher. He raided towns and villages
stealing hard earned money and food that those families needed to survive.
When he married Saotome Nodoka he stayed with her till the birth of his only
child Saotome Ranma and stayed till the child was 6 years old leaving his
wife helpless and declaring I quote, "We will both die if my son in not a
man amongst men when we return." This same man on a daily basis beat and
hurt a young child in the name of his art. He also left his child hungry at
night while he became fatter. Some his lessons were to steal and con people.
This man.. no monster threw his son wrapped in fish products into a hole
filled with starving felines and continued this several times. This creature
freely admits to doing this and justifies this by saying it was for the art.
We of the Prosecution intend to prove that this animal is guilty of all the
crimes listed on the 16,234 page inditement against him.
Head Judge John Marshall: Defense you may make your opening statement.
Defense: Your honors before you is an innocent man being tried for the crime
loving his son enough to make him the best he can be. The people the
Prosecution says they represent are all jealous of my client and the
stunning success of his son being the best martial arts of his generation.
He has labored under extreme pressures to achieve his goal, lovingly putting
all his skills to the limit to give his son every chance to be the best.
Mistakes were made along the way, the old saying; "You can't make an omelet
without breaking a few eggs." is applicable. My client, Genma Saotome has
already paid for his mistakes with the hatred his son and wife have for him
and his curse is also a burden. So please your Honors see the aging man who
gave everything he had and give him a chance to live out the rest of his
life in peace.

Case 137: Saotome, Genma vs The World
Prosecution: I call Senshi Pluto to the stand. Miss Pluto please give your
job and the reason for you�re being placed on the stand for the record.
Pluto: Thank you, Mr. Ashford. My job is to protect the time stream from
tampering and protect the earth from invasion. The reason I am here is to
use my powers to show Genma Saotome's life by using a temporal viewer. You
can see every moment and action in his and Ranma Saotome's life.
Defense: Abjection your honor this has not been proven to be truthful and
maybe controlled by Miss Pluto to show my client in a bad light.
Prosecution: Your Honors my witness has no reason to lie and has been told
by her leader Sailor Moon to give this court her full corporation.
Pluto: Your Honor, what I am allowing you to see is the lives of Genma and
Ranma Soatome up to the present. My answering questions will be irrelevant,
as time does not lie.
Head Judge John Marshall: This sounds fair. Does the defense accept this
explination?
Defense: Reluctantly your Honor. This may prove my defendant innocent.

Case 137: Saotome, Genma vs The World
Prosecution: Mr. Daikoji please tell us of the deal you made with the
defendant?
Daikoji: Certainly sir. I was traveling with my infant daughter and while I
was cooking dinner a scruffy man with another infant appeared. He was
drooling and offered his son as a husband to my daughter. I accepted the
deal and took the infant in to feed and take care of him.
Prosecution: And what was the agreed upon priced for Ranma Saotome?
Daikoji: The deal was one pickle, a bowl of rice, and two fish, also I would
take care of Ranma.
(Defendant turned himself into a panda.)
Judge Sun Digoku: Bailiff retrieve some hot water to return the Defendant to
a human.

September 23, 1998
Case 137: Saotome, Genma vs The World
Head Judge John Marshall: The Prosecution has rested and Defense you may
begin, call your first witness.
Defense calls Iori Yagami to the stand.
Baliff: Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing, but the truth. So help
you God. (Yagami stares at Bailiff.) Or so help you Orochi god.
Yagami: I agree.
Defense: Mr Yagami please tell us about your late father�s training?
Yagami: My father was a complete and utter bastard who should be burning in
hell!
Defense: Can you be more specific about what he did to you to make you one
of the best fighters in the world and helped you kill the Orochi?
Yagami: For eight years he beat me into the ground and brake my bones if I
didn�t me his target. If I asked what he hurt he would throw boulders to
teach me to be quiet. Day in and day out my goal is kill the whole Kusanagi
clan and end the six hundred year blood feud.
Defense: What was the most extreme training he forced you to go through?
Yagami: He would use our magata no Orochi on me. It�s not like he would
through me into a pit with vicious wild animals, only a complete idiot would
that to a young kid. The chance of killing the kid is too great.
Defendant: Growf!

December 16 , 1998
Case 137: Saotome, Genma vs The World
Head Judge John Marshall: Three days after closing statements were made this
court has reached a decision. The Defendant will rise.
(Defense and Defendant rise)
Judge Sun Digoku: On a unmonious decision we the three Judges presiding over
the trial of Saotome, Genma find him guilty of the following charges; 396
counts of petty theft, 569 counts of major theft, 2 counts of child
abandonment, 2 counts of child endangerment, 245 counts of child abuse, 63
counts of sexual assault, 1 count of harboring a known felon, 346 counts of
rioting, 36 counts of fraud, and 39 counts of destruction of property. On
all other charges he is found not Guilty. With the defense and procecution
agreement sentencing will be done within this courtroom here and now. Each
Judge will deliever their closing remarks than we will deliever sentence.
For myself as I sat through this trial I observed the world of martial arts
brought out and tried for the extreme that some will push themselves and
others to be the best. As a former practionor of the Art I know how
demanding and extreme you will push yourself to reach your best. Everyone
who has seen or touched the level where martial arts stops being martial and
becomes art can attest to the beauty of it. Through that might be worth the
effort the importance of disipline of the teacher and student is paramount.
As a martial artist Genma Saotome is one of the rare gems of the Art. As a
teacher, father, and a human he is total failure. The method used in general
I agree were needed to a limit. The stealing, fraud, and Nekoken was over
the line and gives all practionors a bad name. Judge Trevin Kruger if you
please.
Judge Trevin Kruger: I have been silent through this trial and have come to
hate you with a passion. As a father and husband I find you disgraceful and
cowardly. God himself must have chosen your curse himself, as being an
animal fits you so well. If I had a choice in the matter you would be hung
till dead for all you have done. It is a great example of your son character
that his letters to us asked for leancy on your behalf. Personally I am
ashamed as are many who are observing this trial to be part of the same
human species as you. I hope that hell welcomes with open arms because
anything this court can do to you will not be enough. Judge John Marshall
your turn to speak.
Head Judge John Marshall: Genma Soatome I both admire you and feel pity for
you, your life long dream is done and you have nothing left to show for it
except the trail of broken dreams left in your wake. You are by far one of
the top hundred martial artists in the world of your generation. Your son is
well on his way to being the best of his generation and one of the best
overall, for these two I admire for succeeding. I pity you because your wife
Nodoka Saotome is divorcing you for what you have done to your son and all
the other who have crossed paths with you. I served is Japan for five years
in JAG and I understand how important honor is there. Because of your
caluals or careless actions many young women and their families lost honor
or their livelihood or both. Now people revile you as one of the most hated
men in the world. Less than half the charges brought against you here were
found to be truthful be thankful for that. Finding a sentence for your
crimes was not easy or one I relished. We look at a death sentence and found
that to be too extreme. We recieved some offers to open a gateway to hell
and send you there for punishment. After many hours of soul searching for us
we came to the answer that suited the situation we have here and something
that will solve some of problems you have caused.
Before we deliever the punishment do you have anything to say to the people
you have wronged and to your friends and family?
Genma Saotome: Your honors as you said I achieved my dream of making my son
Ranma Saotome the best in the world. My dream of him marrying a Tendo is
gone and I regret that. For the people who came to testify against me and
telling of the cost my action carried for them I apologize and wish I could
make amends to you. The few people who spoke on my behalf you have my
gratitude and wish you long life. To my wife and son I wsh you the best and
long life. I am ready your Honors for my punishment and will do my best to
face it with courage and honor as I have not displayed for some time.
Head Judge John Marshall: Your punishment for crimes is to serve as part of
the United Nations for the rest of your life in what ever capasity you are
assigned and the money you make will go the the families and businesses you
hurt during your life. This court is adjurned.
