You could say I was "heavy-hearted"... when I created... ... The "heavy Ki"... Th-Then the ShiShi Hokodan... ... uses the depressive power of a "heavy heart" to project a heavy "Ki"!!
Ryoga:H-He's right! ERRGH He's figured out about 80% of it...

Nabiki: What happened?
Genma: His heart wavered!
Ranma: I get it! Iget it! It's all a matter of how I feel! If I find and emotion that comes naturally for me I can use the same concept as the Shishi Hokodan to come up with a new technique!

Genma: Hmm... His "Ki" has suddenly grown ...
Nabiki: Yeah, but it feels really light...

Ranma: Short temper blasts!
Ki Blast: POW POW POW
Page: 94 and 95 wrote:Ranma:Feh, just as I thought... Right after Ryoga launched his heavy Ki power... He was really drained... Therefore he was emotionally hollow!
Some kid watching: That's why the heavy Ki was able to pass right through him!

1) Ki is described as both psychic energy and life energy. That would make Ranma and the other super-human martial artists psychics or magic users in crossovers.
2) Being a psychic and life energy sounds very similar to how chakra is described in Naruto.
3) Ki behaves differently depending on what emotion the person is feeling.
4) Ranma has developed a number of Ki blasts, but only seems to use one version.
5) Happy Ki is light and fluffy, and sad Ki is dense and heavy.
Am I off the mark on anything?
Did I miss anything?
