Ranma ½ (らんま1/2)

Come. Come here.

Let's play!

Who is it? Who's calling me?

Ranma! What're you doing here?

Good-bye.

What do you mean?!

Ranma!!

Ranma...!

-- That's terrific! -- They're great!

I'm glad you enjoy. Finale is frog line dance!

-- What the--? -- Cute!!

Wow! Not even the circus--

Has talent like this!

Great show!

Put something in, Ranma!

I'm broke. I ate a pork bun yesterday.

All your money goes into your stomach.

-- Here, for Ranma. -- Thank you.

Kind girl.

So this is Ranma Saotome.

I not forget his face.

The groceries for dinner! Give that back!

Stop!

One hundred deliveries today. Box getting heavy.

Greatest fear!!

What's this?!

Frogs? How--?

I slept great!

How can you be so carefree?

Your father's been missing since yesterday!

Nothin' to worry about! He's probably campin' out someplace.

But--!

You're wrong!!

Saotome would never do that!

He'd never miss dinner and breakfast!

Something must've happened to him.

Maybe you're right.

Kinda early for this, ain'tcha?

To tell the truth, Shampoo disappeared, too.

-- What?! -- Shampoo, too? What happened?

She never came back from making deliveries, so I went out to look.

I saw footprints of many frogs where Shampoo disappeared.

I'm sure this was the work of the Frog Hermit.

Frog Hermit? Who's he?

A frightening wretch who uses the Frog Transformation Technique...

to change humans into frogs.

Quiet!

But why would the Hermit attack Mr. Saotome and Shampoo?

I've heard that a Frog Hermit recently came to Japan.

He attacks people that fell into Jusenkyo and turns them into frogs.

Then his next victim...? Ranma, it's you!

I wouldn't get creamed by a frog! I'll croak him!

That's my son-in-law! Please rescue Shampoo as soon as possible.

Leave it to me!

But if you don't know where he is, you won't be able to fight him.

I won't hafta look for him.

If he wants me, he'll come to me. That's when I'll end it.

TENDO TRAINING HALL

Don't keep me waitin'! Come, already!

I skipped dinner to wait for him. What's keepin' that Ribbet Hermit?

Akane!

C'mon! They're just frogs!

Take a good look!

There's nothin' special about frogs.

Pop...!

Shampoo!

Ryoga?!

How cruel. They've all been turned into frogs.

But why should he turn Ryoga into a frog?

Why not join them?

So you're finally here? I've been expecting you!!

Huh?! It's just a straw dummy!

He ran away!

Be resigned, Ranma Saotome!

Who're you calling "Ranma"?!

-- Get serious!! -- Aiyaa! I make mistake?

Very strange. When I peeped in bathroom, you were girl.

Bathroom? You peeped at me?! You--!

Dirty pervert!!

I see! You're Ranma?!

Hey, you're that frog trainer. You're the Ribbet Hermit, right?!

FROG Hermit!

You! Turn everybody back to people!

Why're ya turning victims of Jusenkyo into frogs?!

That only a rumor.

But for you, Ranma Saotome, it come true.

I take revenge!!

Take this!

What's this?

Frog Transformation Technique.

It's nothin' special! Just splashin' water on somebody!

The most powerful techniques not the fanciest.

This water from Spring of Drowned Frog...

where 1,991 year ago, frog drown as tragic legend say.

You be frog, too.

I ain't gonna be no frog!!

-- This is helping you. -- What?

You fell in Spring of Drowned Girl.

Know what happen when you splashed with this water?

How would I know that?

You no longer turn into girl.

Honest?!

-- Don't let him trick you! -- Let's just hear him out--

First, splash water.

What was that for?!

Are you stupid or something?!

"You stop turning into girl. Now you turn into frog."

That's probably what he's gonna say.

You got it, sister.

You tried to trick me, ya old coot!!

Come back, you--!

Maybe you wanna get me...

but I'm not gonna let your water get on me!

Then how about this?!

Wha--?!

Quit using that stupid technique!
