Ranma 1/2
Did anyone else think the fact Ranma's dad turning into a Panda was more interesting?
I really enjoy odd “novelty” martial arts (as you can tell by my previous posts. I really think dancing and martial arts are similar. Ballroom martial arts would be cool.
Samba and tango can add some pretty intense moments. Their footwork is quick and can be dramatic. Lots of kicks and coordination.
Dancing in general would be awesome to see incorporated with some deadly flair. Hip hop and freestyle can get intricate.
As you can tell, I’m not good at giving examples or really illustrating my ideas. I just want to talk about the episode.
This is a rival centered episode. I want to try to add the rich snake rival into this.
The swan, her best friend, and the protagonist go out to watch some ballroom dancing. The protagonist is not particular interested in anything not martial arts related. After the show is over, the snake, who was a part of the dancers, comes up to the girls and flirt.
The only one really quiet and not gushing over him is the protagonist, which catches his interest. He flirts harder and asks her to be his dance partner. The protagonist doesn’t want to, but the girls push her.
The protagonist changes into a slim dance outfit and is taken to a practice room, with the girls watching. The snake teaches her some of the steps and the protagonist begrudging goes along with it. Afterwards, he compliments her and wants to take her to a higher up competition. He was in the local area just for fun and looking for a new girl.
The protagonist refuses to go until he mentions wanting to pay her. She was never the one to turn down money so she agrees.
At the higher up competition, the swan, her best friend, and the protagonist’s friend group is there watching. The competition immediately gets intense when one of the competitors trips her, lowering their score. The protagonist is angry and now is going to get revenge.
The two work together to take out the competitors. The protagonist crushes someone’s foot so badly they cannot continue. The snake manages to rip a girl’s dress to embarrass her. The two are able to skillfully dodge all the jabs too with some quick spins and lifts.
During the strong opponents, the protagonist is able to slash someone’s face with her heel and the snake was able to trip them long enough for them to stand on them as if they were just carpet. They win the grand prize and the protagonist is really happy.
Unknowingly, the snake approached her for a reason and wants to win her heart just to break it. The protagonist broke up with him in China and he tried to drown himself in the Springs. He got saved by the Guide and with a snake body, he vows to get revenge on her.
I really like the tea ceremony martial arts. I didn’t enjoy how it was really used, but it was interesting. Didn’t enjoy the episode though.
I liked how they used matcha powder as smoke bombs. Using the obi wrap as handcuffs was interesting. Using the roses as darts was amazing.
I think this could be some items and a style good for the ram rival.
Ranma 1/2 but roller derby episode. I never said I was creative and I just love skating.
Rematch between the protagonist's two worst enemies (who each has a crush on her in a different form) and she finally gets the date(?).
Shenanigans, I tell ya. Not only are the two pro-skaters interrupting her date, but the Cursed Swan is too. She still harbors some leftover hatred and is more annoying than deadly. She tries to third wheel, which irritates the protagonist to no end. Her date does not mind, bearing with it.
They do a roller skating date at the park, trying to lose the Cursed Swan. That's when they are met with their biggest enemies.
Jo the protagonist is still mad that they both stole her first kiss. Nathan dislikes them interrupting the date, especially the guy hitting on female Jo. Meg wants to kick their ass for last time.
Nathan does not want Meg injured again so he steps up with Jo to battle them. The two pros tag team to take him out first before cornering Jo. Nathan is way too injured to go on, almost drowning in the fountain he was dunked into. Jo saves him, getting herself wet with cold water and turning into a man.
(I definitely need to watch roller derby clips to even know how the fight would go down. I just know wheels hurt and getting caught in them is the worst.)
Meg steps in with Jo to finally beat these two once and for all. Jo manages to crush the guy's fingers (and other area) while Meg lands a fast but hard kick to the girl's face.
With a good fight, Meg finally leaves them alone to have a moment together. She even got Jo hot water to turn her back into a girl. With the sun setting, Nathan wakes up and instantly wants to pummel the pros who attacked. Jo assures him that she took care of it with Meg, but Nathan feels a little useless.
(Future ideas include skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, bar fights, boxing rings, more sports)
Ranma 1/2 is getting rebooted so I will just rant about my own spin off series.
The very first date (the last one don't count) is going to be the reveal episode. The protagonist's secret will no longer be a secret to her favorite person.
Everyone knows there is something different about the protagonist (if the weirdly good fighting skills is not an indicator). Her crush has been guessing the secret, but he wants his friend to finally confess.
She's been getting ready for the redo date. She's got the perfect dress, the makeup, and the shoes. Her crush does not understand why this girl wants to date him, but he thinks that she deserves a date after what happened last time.
The two of them have a quiet date at the park. That is until one of the pro skater comes to stop them since he is still petty about the loss. He wants to woo the protagonist and defeat her crush. The two of them want to beat him up though.
The three of them end up fighting near the lake, where the protagonist falls in. He hops back out and lands the final blow. Nathan is shocked to see the purple under dye. Everything finally makes sense.
The protagonist cuts the date short by going home.
