Dragon's Whisker Conclusion

Genma is back in the Tendo home, admiring the dragon's whisker which he has stolen, thinking about the hair he will soon grow. He tries rubbing his scalp with the whisker. He strikes his scalp with the whisker. He tries wearing the whisker on top of his head. He realizes in despair that he doesn't know how it works.

Ranma shows up, trying to get the whisker back. Genma offers Ranma ten yen to tell him how the whisker works (this is approximately ten cents in U.S. coinage). Akane shows up, demanding to know if he wants Ranma stuck as a girl for the rest of her life, because the whisker has no effect when Ranma is a girl. Cologne is also there and explains that if Ranma turns male without tying his hair with the whisker, his hair will grow until it runs out. Genma says, "How horrible!" and then says, "Let's see," and pours hot water on Ranma. Ranma screams as his hair starts growing. Genma holds some of the hair and tells him that he's a lucky child. Ranma replies that he might agree if he wasn't about to become an orphan, then stomps Genma.

Happosai appears and steals the whisker. Ranma turns female and exposes her chest to distract Happosai. Genma steals the whisker. Ranma hits Genma and takes the whisker back. Happosai steals the whisker from Ranma. Cologne laments, "Master against disciple ... father against son ... what evil the dragon's whisker brings." Akane tells her, "Looks like a typical day with Ranma to me."

Happosai, still in possession of the whisker, finds and beats up the Chinese pork bun men, ordering them to tell him how to use it. They do so, then he ties them up as he prepares the porridge, while they angrily complain about his intent to keep it all for himself. Ranma appears out of nowhere, lands on Happosai, takes the whisker, then leaps away while retying her pigtail. Happosai throws the pot of hot water, which changes Ranma back to male, but he has finished tying the whisker on his pigtail.

Genma leaps for Ranma, pretending to congratulate him, but Ranma kicks him away. While he does so, Happosai snips off his pigtail, causing his hair to grow explosively. Ranma, completely fed up, ties tires, cement blocks, and other things to his hair, and uses them to attack Happosai and Genma. In the ensuing battle, Ranma gets the upper hand, but while strangling Happosai with some of his hair, the hair pulls out of his head. Ranma realizes that it's no longer growing. Ranma is terrified that he has used up all of his hair. Genma attempts to cheer him up by pointing out that Ranma is his son, so he was bound to lose it all eventually anyway. For some reason this doesn't comfort Ranma and he starts to run away.

Except Ranma realizes that the dragon's whisker porridge could grow new hair for him. Ranma attempts to take the whisker back from Happosai. Happosai realizes he has lost the dragon's whisker. Ranma collapses, but Cologne examines him, realizes that the hair on his head is not growing, and thereby concludes that the dragon's whisker effect has worn off. However, Ranma has passed out, so will only learn this when he comes to. Meanwhile, Happosai and Genma are trying to find the dragon's whisker.

Cut to the Nekohanten. It turns out the Chinese pork bun men managed to make off with the dragon's whisker. They brought it to the restaurant and had Cologne's great-granddaughter Shampoo make them the special rice porridge using the whisker. The Chinese men are convinced that their hair is growing (it isn't) and we learn from Shampoo that she learned from the restaurant owner back in China that the freshness date on the dragon's whisker just ran out.
