Re: Ranma canon questions

Not only do the wives control the money, (it's been reported that some guys only get 500 yen worth per day) but run the household to the extreme. She controls everything in the house. From how to raise the children to the mentioned money and anything to do with the actual home. It could be why she'...

Re: Ki in Ranma 1/2

For once, I agree with LawOhki, Ki isn't vital exactly. Ryoga was void of it when unleashing Shi Shi Hokodan perfected and he was just fine. I really suggest you start researching things like Ki/Chi/Qi. Ki. Having a basic understanding of these sorts of things help you understand many things in bot...

Re: Ki in Ranma 1/2

http://www.fukufics.com/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=7249 Similarities with other stories or genres have no bearing that in Ranma nearly anyone can fire off ki blasts and they do not give out psychic powers. You do realize I was talking about the real world inspirations for Ranma 1/2 that say anyone can...

Re: Charcter ages

Yeah, not rush, that's why they tried to marry them immediately a ton, and actually almost did it twice. :roll: How many attempts were there a marriage? Off the top of my head you have the time they thought Akane had been turned into a duck, and then you have the failed wedding which Akane was one ...

Re: Immortal (Effectively) at the fall of Crystal Tokyo.

Straw man. A straw man is when someone warps an argument to the point it is no longer valid. I've done no such thing by pointing out things shown by evidence you provided. I have no idea as to what you are talking about? This is about trying ti iron out an idea for a fanfic. If you don't like the e...

Re: Ki in Ranma 1/2

No we can conclude that ki is emotion given a physical aspect that requires a certain amount of training that ANYONE can do. The SSH works as a perfect example of it. Just get depressed enough and anyone can do it. While it is stated anyone can fire Ki blasts, it isn't a matter of simply feeling an...

It's a hobby. I take a fictional setting, and then try to figure out how stuff works in universe.

Most abilities the characters display in Ranma 1/2 are based on real things as well as folklore/myths/legends.

Re: Ranma canon questions

We don't really know how poor the Saotomes are. They might not be that poor since they do own a house in Tokyo which was not their original house (Ranma's mom tells Ryu that the house they lived in was torn down), travel a lot (Ranma's mom does as well since we see Ranma and Genma bump into her on ...

Re: Charcter ages

Like Ranma... Why think he's anything other than 16 to start the series? He's in the same class as Akane, he looks for the 16 cm mushroom and is set to marry a Tendo on arrival. Yet I've seen him at 15, which would make him unable to legally marry a Tendo. During the "Mushrooms of Time" (...

Re: Character height

... But I'm pretty fine with the heights as long as female Ranma doesn't get tall. Females don't grow much if at all in their late teens. So to somehow get a 5 foot 10 female Ranma of 19 or so just doesn't make sense. In regards to Ranma, probably true, in general, not so much. I have an extremely ...

Re: Immortal (Effectively) at the fall of Crystal Tokyo.

I personally think that the anime CT is too buggy and should be avoided. There's virtually no information about it. Being light on details makes the anime version of Crystal Tokyo far less unpleasant, and fewer details means fewer plot holes. You actually posted scans that show the Manga White Moon...

Re: Ki in Ranma 1/2

Do not forget the tons of puns that got lost in translation. "Ki" is a legitimate part of many words describing emotions. So with emotion-bases ki techniques it's more like a straight-faced comedy on Takahashi's part, a sort of parody of the genre. Because, you see, such words as "de...

Re: Ki in Ranma 1/2

These two are wrong. It's described as life energy based on the persons emotion as you noted in point The first quote(page 18) describes Ki as mental energy. Ranma has just been hit with with a blast that sent him flying. We can conclude that mental energy is not simple emotion because emotions hav...

Re: What justification does Usagi have to create Crystal Tok

As you see, no one was banishing Black Moon Family to Nemesis. The terrorists captured it on their own, making it their home base. Just like Al Quaeda hiding in far and hard-to-rich mountains. Oh, and everyone on Earth is dead and dissolving by this point. Courtesy the same BM. It's pretty easy to ...
