Which do you like better? When Ranma is so powerful he feels superman or sayian like? Or when things are more down to earth and believable?
O_o
It really depends on how the writer accomplishes this... If the power creep is done over the length of the story, I might be interested. The problem is, I've seen quite a few stories which just make [Character] overpowered from cannon and then just adjust the world's power scale in the same direction to compensate, as the original 'big bad' just isn't a problem anymore without adjustment or replacement.Blackcat101 wrote:Another option is to sent an uberpowerful Ranma to an universe where there are a lot of people way stronger than him, for example sent Ranma to the DBZ universe.

I have planed a story where Ranma is rescued by a spaceship, gets a crystal stuck in his forehead and becomes as powerful as he should be at the end of the manga but being only ten years old. The fun is that he lacks the training to control all that power. So the rest of Ranma training trip won't be about becoming stronger, but about learning to control his power. The bad thing is that this is just after the neko-ken, so Genma is really scared of what Ranma will do if he gets cat-like...
"You reached for a more powerful Ranma, I take it? To defeat this one,
who plagues you, is that it? You fool."
"For know, ancient perversion, that I am the Dragon Lord Fey Ranma, Lord
of Fey Castle, Archmage of the Court of Farallon, Grandmaster of the Fey
and Saotome Schools of Anything Goes Martial Arts, Wielder of Dragon
Fang, Bearer of the Dragon Armor, Beloved Blood Child of the Dragon Lady
Alana," okay, those are the regulars, beefed up a bit, now let's see how
far I can take it, how long I can keep spouting titles before somebody
blows up, "Master of the Crystal Rose, Adept of the Shining Darkness and
Master of the Seven Senses, Founder of the Eleventh Dan of the Tai Chi
Chuan, Protector of the Joketsuzoku, Brother by Blood to Prince Herb of
the Musk, Ally to Saffron, Lord of the Pheonix, Twice Chosen Heir of
Grandmaster Happosai, Dragon-Father to the Dragon Lady Nabiki," oops,
that looks like Nabiki in the back, and damn is that ever a stunned
expression, "Sole Heir to the Chumino Dragon-Scale School of
Weaponsmithing, Master of the True Neko-ken," looks like that one hit
Ranma, guess he must have been put through that too, "One Soul in Three
Bodies, Master of the Tapestry of Worlds, Touched by the Hand Of Death,
Servant of the Fire That Burns Beyond All That Is, Slayer of the Demon
Neshreth, Once Born Yet Thrice Unborn, Walker between Worlds, Victor
over the Curse of the Waters of Jusenkyou," oh, boy, that one hit them
hard, can't stop on that, need some more, "Sensei of the Unseen Master,
Vanquisher of the Huntsman of Lord Ereth," man, they all just look kind
of glazed, even Happosai. Heh. "Graced with Divine Gifts by Virtue of
the Defeat of the Lords Arkus and Fey, the Swiftfang, Wolf-Friend and
Pack-Brother to the Clan of the Howling Moon," man I was really
expecting somebody to interrupt me by now...
