Do you mean Keitaro here? I can't imagine Motoko backing up, much
less stammering in this kind of situation.
It's her; the joke is that she's acting like Keitaro at the moment.
Note that it doesn't last. :p
Ranma smirked, dropping into an easy, relaxed stance.
"Okay, then go ahead and take me down -- hit me with your best
shot."
Motoko charged him angrily, crying out, "Shinmei Ryu --
Ougi Zangan Ken!
This story takes place before Motoko learns the Zan Maken Ni No
Tachi? Considering that Ranma blocked her attack at the baths, the Ni
No Tachi would seem to be the attack of choice since by its nature
it's unblockable (at least conventionally).
Can't remember that attack specifically -- that's the one that's
supposed to go through a person, and then attack the evil behind
them, right? I may have actually made a mistake there.
Hm. I can probably recover from this.
Motoko simply stared, jaw hanging open and eyes wide.
"You... you... you... _you_ were holding _back_!" she protested,
shaking with anger. "That's not fair!"
Ironic, when you consider that Motoko herself holds back against Seta
and Keitaro. Though she'd never admit it, even to herself.
Hehe, true enough. :p
Thanks for taking the time to comment! ^_^
