Romeos and Juliet

This cartoon idea is set in the auditorium at Furinkan High School, with the point of view from backstage toward the audience. The background shows a packed auditorium, the audience filling all of the seats. In the foreground on the stage is Akane Tendo dressed as Juliet, and surrounded by four males all of whom are dressed as Romeo, specifically Tatewaki Kuno, Hikaru Gosunkugi, Happosai, and Ranma Saotome. The four Romeos are all fully dressed except that their cocks are sticking out of their pants. Akane's Juliet dress is pushed up to her armpits, and any undergarments are removed (except for stockings), fully revealing her ass, pussy, and tits, while leaving her face uncovered.

Kuno is lying on his back on the stage. Akane is straddling Kuno with her back to him, leaning backward over his chest, and with Kuno's cock visibly impaling her ass. Gosunkugi is kneeling in front of Akane, fucking her cunt. Happosai is standing to one side of Akane's head, either with Akane blowing him, or else holding her hair and fucking her mouth (or maybe the viewer can't really tell which of these two is the case). The male Ranma is on Akane's far side, getting his dick stroked by Akane's hand, and looking disappointed that he isn't taking one of the other guys' places in one of Akane's three holes. Gosunkugi is saying to the other three, "Remember! Whoever cums the most before going soft gets the prize of a trip to China with Tendo-san!"

Variations would rearrange which guy is in which hole, and which guy says the line above. Although I think Ranma should stay in the position indicated above. Another variation would leave Akane out entirely (or have her tied up and glaring off to the side), with female Ranma as Juliet, and adding Ryoga Hibiki as the fourth male, with either Gosunkugi or Kuno as the disappointed fellow only getting a handjob.

Happosai's Help

In this cartoon idea, the setting is Akane's bedroom, although in reality it's Akane's and Ranma's bedroom since it is set after their wedding. The view is of the bed from the side and above, and of a bit of floor beside the bed. Ranma is sleeping on the far side of the bed, and Akane is sleeping on the near side. If their left hands are visible, then they are wearing wedding rings on their ring fingers.

The bed covers are pulled all the way down, showing male Ranma wearing pajamas. Akane is completely nude, with her pajamas in a pile on the floor beside the bed. An empty bottle of sleeping pills rests on top of Akane's pajamas, suggesting that neither she nor Ranma will be waking up anytime soon. A nude Happosai is between Akane's legs, fucking her, with his far arm reaching forward for his hand to squeeze one of Akane's tits.

Happosai is saying, "Useless boy! Always wearing those disgusting condoms! Obviously they need my help if our school is to have an heir!"

Obviously no virgin blood in this one, as Akane and Ranma have clearly had sex before, and this may not be the first time that Happosai has "helped out." There could possibly be semen coming from Akane's cunt to indicate an ejaculation in progress, but I think I'd prefer not, as I'd prefer to think that Happosai isn't close to being finished yet.

An alternative would have Akane on the far side, nude, with cum on her pussy and thighs indicating she has already been fucked. And a nude female Ranma on the near side currently being fucked by Happosai. The implication is that Happosai doesn't care which of them is the first to become knocked up with the school's heir, or maybe he'd like both of them to be. This does require the viewer to assume that Ranma is capable of becoming pregnant. In this case Happosai might say, "Useless boy! Always wearing those disgusting condoms! Obviously they need my help if our school is to have an heir! And if he doesn't want to be the father, then she can just help improve the odds!"

Happosai's plan

Picture of bound Ranma and Akane having sex

I think the background for this scene goes something like this.

Soun leaned back on the engawa, taking a long draw on the cigarette in one hand, then sipping from the bowl of sake in the other. "I swear, Saotome-kun, we're never going to get that boy of yours married to my daughter!"

Genma appeases the master

Picture of Genma, female Ranma, and Happosai

I believe the lead up to this picture is that Genma must have done something to upset Happosai, and this is how he chose to appease his master and get back in the old man's good graces.

Genma probably grabbed Ranma's arms while he was sleeping, then called Happosai in. Happosai splashed Ranma with water, then went to town on her.

Happosai will no doubt escape afterward, but Genma will probably end up as badly injured by his son as anything the old pervert would have done to him.

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.

Dragon's Whisker 3

Still in the P.E. equipment shed, Ranma tells Akane the story of the dragon's whisker. After being cursed at Jusenkyo, but before leaving the Bayankala Mountains, Ranma was wandering in her female form. She was extremely hungry. A man ran by holding a bowl of rice porridge. He was being chased by another man who yelled, "Stop, thief!" The pursuer is recognizable as the owner of the restaurant who was attacked by the "pork bun men".

Ranma grabs the bowl, kicks the thief away, and eats the porridge before the restaurant owner can say anything. He steps up, opens her shirt to look at her breasts, and says, "A girl. Good thing." Ranma clobbers him and asks what he means. He takes Ranma back to his restaurant and feeds her, while explaining that the rice porridge is the restaurant's secret item. The stock is made with dragon's whisker, which he holds up to show. He tells Ranma that it has no effect on women, but when a man eats it, it fulfills a certain ambition. He goes on to say that many a battle has been fought over the porridge, but it's truly lucky that Ranma is female. Except, before he can finish saying the word "female", Ranma pours a kettle over his head, transforming into a boy.

The frames are drawn so that we do not see male Ranma. The restaurant owner laughs, saying "So you're a man." Ranma thumps him over the head several times, and asks, "Is this what you mean by ambition?" The restaurant owner holds up the dragon's whisker and says, "Until the effect runs out, you can use this as a seal." He allowed Ranma to take the dragon's whisker. Akane thinks to herself, "If that's the whisker's power, no wonder men fight over it."

Cut to the Nekohanten (a Chinese ramen restaurant), where Genma is asking the ancient Chinese amazon Cologne if she knows the secret of the dragon's whisker. Cologne tells him that the whisker is trouble, but she cannot tell him about it. That she especially cannot tell him. As Genma walks along puzzling over her words, Happosai and the four Chinese men all run by. Genma realizes what they all have in common, including himself - that they are all bald. He guesses the secret - that the dragon's whisker grows hair.

Cut back to the P.E. equipment shed, where Ranma is surrounded by masses and masses of hair, growing from his head. Recall that Akane got the dragon's whisker back from the Chinese man who stole it. Akane cuts Ranma's hair, rebraids his pigtail, and ties it off with the dragon's whisker, which stops it from growing. Although Akane's usual trouble with handiwork manifests itself, and the pigtail she ties stands up over Ranma's head.

Genma bursts in, demanding to know how Ranma could dare to keep this from his own father, by which Ranma realizes he now knows the secret. Happosai and the four Chinese men attack, but Genma defends his son, knocking them all away. Ranma and Akane look a bit surprised. Genma turns back, looking very sad, and asks why Ranma can't trust his own father. He goes on in this vein, while trying to get his hands on the whisker, but Ranma stops him. They fight, and Ranma clobbers his father. Genma starts spouting more crap, and this time manages to steal the whisker while Ranma is distracted.

Ranma starts to chase Genma, but is stopped when several girls running by step on his rapidly growing hair. Cologne shows up and splashes him, turning Ranma into a girl. He asks what she did that for, but answers it himself when he remembers that he is unaffected as a girl. Cologne warns Ranma that if he doesn't get the dragon's whisker back, then within a week he will completely run out of hair.

Dragon's Whisker 2

On the way to school the next morning, Akane tries to get the secret of the dragon's whisker out of Ranma, but he tells her it's none of her business. The Chinese men set out a trap for Ranma, a simple lasso on the ground with a pork bun in the center. Except Happosai grabs the bait instead. When they try to beat him up for interfering, he clobbers them. Happosai wants to know what they're doing, and they say all they want is the dragon's whisker. When Happosai asks what it is, they whisper to him. Happosai looks greatly startled, saying, "What?! So that is the legendary dragon's whisker!"

Cut to gym period at the school. Akane is fuming that Ranma never tells her anything important, and wondering what the something terrible is that would happen. Ranma goes to catch the ball, but it turns out to be one of Happosai's explosives instead. Happosai, surrounded by a large battle aura, faces Ranma and demands the dragon's whisker. When Ranma attempts to attack Happosai, the old man levels him with a chi blast. Ranma manages to get up just before Happosai gets to his pigtail, and throws a large number of bras at him to distract him. Akane wonders what Ranma is doing with all of those bras. However, Happosai is not distracted, much to everyone's shock, and clobbers Ranma.

Ranma manages to run away. The Chinese men attack him, throwing buns emitting knock-out gas. Ranma tries to get away from them, despite growing dizzy. Akane is looking for Ranma, and spots the chase. One of the Chinese men gets his hand on the dragon's whisker, but Ranma manages to knock them away. Except it's revealed, as they are flying off, that one of the Chinese men is smiling and holding the dragon's whisker. Ranma sees this, and looks over his shoulder in fear at his unraveling hair.

Akane manages to stomp the man holding the dragon's whisker. She takes it from him and holds it up, calling Ranma. However, Ranma yells at Akane not to look at him, and runs away. Akane chases after him. She corners him in the P.E. equipment shed. Akane tries to pull Ranma out from under a bunch of mats, saying, "Why are you hiding from me?" Ranma yells, "Get away, idiot!"

The chapter ends with a frame in which Akane is rearing back in shock. She exclaims, "Ranma ...! You ... You ..."

Ultimate Weakness Moxibustion - Conclusion

While everyone on the ground watches the pair plunge from the sky, Happosai digs himself out of the ground. Angered beyond belief, he throws a Happo-fire burst at Ranma. Except it only does minor injury, and actually slows their descent. So Happosai dons a flying squirrel costume and flies up into the air to meet Ranma on the way down, demanding that he hand over the photographs. Ranma tosses the photographs to the side, distracting Happosai, and then leaps onto Happosai's back, still clutching Akane. The three of them half fall, half glide until they crash into a chain link fence at the edge of the sports field.

Akane wakes up. Her first words are, "The ... the chart ..." She grabs Ranma by the shirt. "Ranma! Where's the moxibustion chart?!" At that moment, the students bring all the confetti they gathered to Cologne, and a huge grin appears on Ranma's face as he realizes there is still hope. But when they assemble the chart from the pieces, there is one piece missing. The exact piece that shows how to cure the ultimate weakness moxibustion. Ranma is devastated.

Ranma puts on a face of false cheer, says good-bye, then takes off as fast as he can. Ukyo starts to beat the still prone Happosai with her battle spatula. Ryoga stops her, spotting the final piece of the chart stuck to Happosai's head. This is where my story Moxibustion Violation diverges from canon, since in my story they don't find that piece of the chart.

Ranma plans to leave Nerima without saying any further good-byes to anyone. Except that Akane catches up to him, still looking very disheveled from her trip in the tornado. Akane says that she won't stop him, but that she will go with him. Ranma tells her that she's stupid, but as he fails to lift his backpack, Akane points out that he needs her along to carry all his stuff. Akane tries to tell him that he doesn't have to leave, that he doesn't have to be strong, that he has other qualities (although she has trouble naming any). As they begin to argue about it, Cologne sneaks up and burns some moxibustion into Ranma's back.

Ranma screams and spins around, just as Cologne throws a big cement turf roller at him (or whatever you call those things). Ranma's outflung fist smashes the thing, much to his shock. Mousse, Tatewaki and Principal Kuno show up to attack Ranma, but he now easily defeats all three of them at once.

In the end frame, we look in on Ranma a week later. He has apparently spent that week beating up on his father, Happosai and others, and generally doing a lot of property destruction. Happosai asks the family if they'd like him to make Ranma weak again.

Ultimate Weakness Moxibustion - Chapter 10

Ranma and Happosai meet on a sports field at Furinkan High School. The student body gathers around to watch. Cologne, Genma, Ryoga and Akane are among the spectators. Ukyo is selling okonomiyaki off of a portable grill. Happosai shows off the moxibustion chart but refuses to hand it over. He starts ironing panties, releasing not a drop of battle aura.

Everyone watches the completely still Ranma, wondering what he plans. He's thinking that he never would have resorted to this if he could have helped it. That he's casting away the last of his pride. Yet, if it's to regain his strength, then he can do it. Ranma pulls out a set of photographs and shows them to Happosai. They are photographs of Ranma, in his female (cursed) form, wearing racy lingerie. Akane realizes that the sounds she heard from inside Ranma's room came from a camera. Ukyo and Ryoga are puzzled about Ranma's "secret plan", pointing out that he has made use of his female form before in fights, particularly against Happosai. Akane points out to them that this time it's different, that before he's always had boys' underwear on under a skirt, but this is the first time he has ever deliberately worn lingerie.

Happosai is staring at the photographs, shell shocked. Tatewaki Kuno appears out of nowhere, trying to get the photographs from Ranma. On seeing this threat to the photos, a massive aura bursts forth from Happosai, as he declares that they are his! The spectators are front-lit by the aura. Cologne states, "Amazing!! So much greater than his battle aura ..." Akane adds, "His lust aura could lay waste the earth!"

Seeing Happosai and Tatewaki attacking Ranma, Mousse and Principal Kuno decide to join in on the fun. Ranma manages to lead them all into a spiral, the combined auras causing the spectators to be seen in silhouette. Akane notices as the moxibustion chart falls out of Happosai's gi. Ranma throws the uppercut which unleashes an unbelievably strong cyclone, and he watches from the ground as it sweeps his attackers upward. Then he notices that Akane is also caught in it ...

Ultimate Weakness Moxibustion - Chapter 9

Ranma leads the enraged Happosai into a perfect spiral, as Genma, Cologne, Akane and Ukyo watch from a nearby roof. At the center of the spiral, Ranma throws the corkscrew uppercut ... which fizzles. Because Happosai is gone, peeking through a window at a girl who is changing her shirt. Ranma attempts to get Happosai to fight, but the old man refuses, saying he can't attack Ranma in his weakened state due to his sense of justice. This makes everyone suspicious, since Happosai has no sense of justice. As Ranma attempts to incite the old pervert to attack, Happosai responds with, "You're only saying that because ... you want to make a poor old man ... suffer the Hiryū Shōten Ha."

Everyone wants to know how Happosai could have known that. He points out to Cologne that she seems to have forgotten his visit to her village when they were teenagers themselves (which we had learned about in an earlier story arc) and how she used that same technique on him then. (By the way, Cologne was a fox in her youth, whereas Happosai was just as ugly then as now.)

Ranma tries to do all sorts of things to make Happosai angry enough to attack, none of which work. In the end Ranma collapses, realizing he has lost, and Akane boots Happosai away.

Later Ranma is in his room alone, thinking about all the training he did, all for nothing. Then he gets an idea. Akane, strolling down the hall past his door with a shinai over her shoulder, thinking that she'll have to cheer him up, hears a clicking sound from inside his room. Ranma bursts out of the door, all confidence, saying that he's got the old man, that he has a way to bring out 120% of his aura.

Ultimate Weakness Moxibustion - Chapter 8

A little later, we see Ryoga in a tent having a nightmare about what happened as Ukyo tends him, while outside Ranma is resting with Akane applying a Band-Aid or two to him. Cologne explains how the technique works. During her explanation Ranma disappears into the tent, to thank the unconscious Ryoga for helping him, and to tell him to rest in peace. Ryoga grabs Ranma by the throat, showing he is now awake. Ranma tries to say he was just joking. Ryoga demands, "Are you telling me you forced yourself on Akane ... as a joke!" He punches Ranma through the top of the tent while Ukyo turns to Akane with a deadly glare, hefts her battle spatula, and inquires, "And just what did Ryoga mean by that, Akane?" Akane, waving a hand up and down, sweatdropping, replies, "Th-That stupid Ranma, lying about ..." Except that Ukyo interrupts and attacks, yelling that she must have seduced him. Ranma says something insulting about this in Akane's hearing, who shoves him, then Ryoga attacks him for insulting Akane, melee ensues.

Everyone packs up and returns to Nerima. We look in on Happosai, who is stealing panties, but is feeling bored without Ranma around to interfere with him. Ranma attacks Happosai, without effect, until he manages to grab the bag of panties and throws it off the roof, emptying it. A battle aura forms around Happosai, and he prepares to take revenge on Ranma.

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.

Ultimate Weakness Moxibustion - Chapter 2

Akane attacks Happosai while he is ironing some stolen panties, demanding that he tell her how to cure the ultimate weakness moxibustion. Her father Soun Tendo overhears, and starts choking Happosai for what he has done to the dojo's heir (one of the few times in the manga that Soun or Genma manage to get the better of Happosai). He releases the old man when his daughter Kasumi suggests that he stop before he kills him, but then Soun also demands the cure.

Happosai's reply is, "Fool! Have you forgotten who I am? In my entire rotten life, have I ever once learned a technique that could actually help anyone?!" He is kicked into the air as they realize he doesn't know the cure.

In the meantime, Ranma is tied up in the P.E. equipment shed at school. Akane, who saw the Happy-Grams, did this to keep Ranma, who would refuse to hide, from being killed by his rivals. Hikaru Gosunkugi finds Ranma and unties him. Puzzled, Ranma asks, "Aren't you one of the guys with a grudge against me?" Hikaru replies, "Who, me?" He then shoves Ranma out the door, saying, "No. I'll just wait until the others are finished." The others turn out to be Principal Kuno, Mousse and Tatewaki, who proceed to beat up on Ranma, but also get in each others way preventing any overly serious blow from landing.

Just as they are about to all strike at once, they are all knocked away. By Ryoga. Ranma says, "What ... you're saving me for yourself?" Ryoga replies, "Don't insult me! I can't stand people who pick on the weak!" Ranma is quite upset on hearing this, and attacks Ryoga, uselessly.

Akane visits Doctor Tofu, whose office looks like a disaster, covered in books and scrolls. He tells her that there is a chance of a cure, a chart in a remote hiding place which shows the moxibustion to counter the ultimate weakness moxibustion.

Ukyo finds Ranma. She tells him that she'll take care of him, that all he'll have to do for the rest of his life is watch over their children. She points out that in his weak state, he can't be the heir of the Tendo dojo, so his engagement to Akane has no point, leaving only his engagement to herself. Ranma, upset, says the only thing on his mind is getting his strength back, that he doesn't care about the dojo. Naturally, at that precise moment Akane had walked in behind him.

Akane hits Ranma over the head, telling him that she came to tell him about a possible cure, but just see if she'll tell him now. Ranma proceeds to fawn all over Akane, massaging her shoulders, etc., while she repeats, "I'm not telling." Ukyo looks on in disbelief at his antics.

Ultimate Weakness Moxibustion - Chapter 1

16 year old martial artist Ranma Saotome is walking home from school eating a snack, when the ancient martial arts master Happosai goes leaping by, carrying a bag of girls' panties. He is being chased by a group of girls angry about having their panties stolen. Ranma distracts the old man by throwing the snack into his mouth, allowing the girls to catch him and beat him soundly.

Happosai shows up at the Tendo home at suppertime, looking the worse for wear. Ranma smirks and asks, "Still alive, huh, freak?" In revenge, Happosai attempts to strike Ranma with something from his pipe, which Ranma manages to dodge and grab, recognizing it as moxibustion (burning moxa). While distracted, Happosai hits Ranma in the back with a second dose. Ranma screams in pain at being burned, and Happosai leaves (forcefully).

The next morning on the way to school, Tatewaki Kuno attacks Ranma, who smiles, says "Morning!" and kicks Kuno in the face. Except Kuno is unaffected, saying, "Do you call that a kick? I barely felt it." Ranma, much puzzled, kicks Kuno in the face again, with no effect. He dodges a blow and punches furiously, over and over. Unfazed, Kuno knocks Ranma unconscious. Realizing that he has beaten Ranma at last, he embraces Akane and declares, "You are mine, Akane Tendo!" She then boots him over the horizon.

Confused and angry, Ranma tries to punch a hole in a nearby wall. Except he hits a kid on a tricycle by accident. Except the toddler is unharmed and pushes Ranma backward with a finger. Ranma and Akane visit Doctor Tofu Ono, who figures out what Happosai did to Ranma, describing to them the effects of the "ultimate weakness moxibustion." Doctor Tofu sadly tells them that no cure is known, that no one any longer knows the moxibustion which counters the ultimate weakness moxibustion. The conclusion is that Ranma will be weak for the rest of his life. Ranma runs off, choking.

In the meantime, Happosai is aerially distributing "Happy-Grams" announcing Ranma's weakness. In particular, these fall into the hands of Ranma's rivals: Tatewaki Kuno, his father Principal Kuno, the Chinese amazon Mousse, and Ryoga Hibiki.

A note about Principal Kuno.
For purposes of Moxibustion Violation, I am following a timeline created by M.Zephyr which supposes that the principal has not yet returned to Japan. So in MV, no one knows about him yet. Since Principal Kuno does not play any major role in the story arc in the manga, this inconsistency causes no particular problem.
