Boy, I'm learning a lot about punctuation. ^_^
Those little squiggly things and dots and such are really useful. 

A few general comments on your comments.
1)I really didn't realize I was going overboard with Genma. And I'm not trying to bash, that's just what the characters think about him. he's one of those 'uncles' that always smells like stale tobacco and chesp liquor. Talks too loud and 'borrows' things. You're the only one who's noticed. (well, I'm still reading through some of the C&C, so I may have missed something) Poor Genma, only one friend on the FFML.

GENMA: "Ahhh, friend Kleppe-san! If I can borrow the prince of a bottle of sake, I'll gladly pay you back next Tuesday."

2)regarding Shan Pu and girls can't fght. Well, logic and reality have little impact on peoples beliefs and prejudices. ^_*
The Amazon's will show up after a bit. I hope you like what I've done with
them.

3)*Luck flows to the man who doesn't need to win*
Nope, that's it. If you're in desparate straights, and HAVE to have all the cards fall your way, they won't. it's simple math. Look at the US and Japan in WWII. The Japanese HAD to have everything work out in their favor. They didn't have the industrial base, technology, manpower or resources to absorb major loses. The US could aford to _lose_ more aircraft and aircraft carriers than the Japanese ever had, and still win the war. The US was in such a strong position, they didn't NEED to win every battle, or even most of them. The "luck" flowed to the US, because they were in such a strong position, almost ANYTHING was lucky for them.
(and the US actually did have some "good" luck. And some really stupid blunders. But the US could absorb the 'bad' luck, the Japanese coldn't)


SO, this 'saying' basically means that the man (or woman) who is in such a strong position that he can absorb more loses than his opponent and STILL remain stronger is going to have the 'luck' flow to him. he doesn't need to win,he can take advantage of any situation. The weaker opponent (or one who fears to lose) can't absorb the loss. Can't take advantage of every situation. 

4)raving lunatic vs. babbling idiot.
Hmmmm . . .seemed raving to me. Might be the sword that did it. I tend to upgrade people with sharp pointy things. ^_*
5)recognizing Bugatti . . .was supposed to be an Omniscient POV. 
and Coup(e) has the (e) in my copy. I think the cyber-pixies ate it when it went from .wpd to .txt.

6)Nabiki, suspicious: Well, she's not as openly cynical as canon. and Ranma is GOOD! He's spent the last ten years scamming people over most of the pacific rim, india and russia. �I'd be interested in knowing what you think of her characterization as it progresses.
7) Kasumi: Thanks. I was trying to do a balanced characterization for all three Tendou girls. I'm glad Kasumi is working out.


Thanks again for all the C&C. I appreciate it. I'm _trying_ to use what you tell me to make fixes in unposted chapters. ^_*
