Ultimate Weakness Moxibustion - Chapter 3

Ranma, Akane and Ukyo journey together to the shrine which Doctor Tofu's research indicates should possess the chart showing how to cure the ultimate weakness moxibustion. The monk there tells them that tragically it was stolen one hundred years ago. He shows them a (very badly drawn) picture of the thief, which they recognize as a younger Happosai.

Back in Nerima, Happosai is sorting through some things in his pack, while Kasumi burns some trash outside. He comes across a chart, but can't remember what it is, and decides that if it were important he'd remember. So he tosses it toward the fire. Ranma shows up just in time to grab it, announcing, "This is it! The moxibustion chart!" Happosai then steals it back, now being reminded exactly what it is. In the ensuing fight, Happosai beats up the weak Ranma, and then runs away.

Ranma then runs off, thinking that the girls pity him. The next morning the Tendos wake up to find that Ranma and his father are gone, and Kasumi and Soun assume that he has given up and is acknowledging that he can't take over the dojo. Only Akane is sure that he would never give up like that, but is left wondering where he is.
