Ranma 1/2 by Takahashi Rumiko Volume 32 Translated By a Fan, For the Fans Distributed by the MANGA MILITIA ----------------------------- p.117 Part 8 - The Chosen Martial Artist p.118 Ranma: Dougi that draw out dormant talent? Ranma: So, when you put them on, you get stronger? Soun: Yes, they say they've been presented to the Monkey Mountain Temple. Narration: Monkey Mountain Temple. Soun: Oho, these are the legendary Dougi... p.119 Soun: They've refreshed my eyes. (Fig.: sight for sore eyes?) Old man: You came deliberately this far into the mountains to see this kind of thing... Old man: Praiseworthy affection. Well, take them with you. Soun: Huh? Soun: Um... Even though they're precious things...? Old man: Of course, for free, into the bargain... Old man: If you take them now, I'll even throw in this rotating chair for free. Old man: Ohh, this is fun. Ranma: Somehow suspicious. Ranma: They're not troublesome goods, are they? Old man: Whoops! Old man: N-Not THAT!! Old man: * thumpa-thumpa-thumpa-thumpa * Old man: Th-They've never brought me trouble or anything... Ranma: Isn't it clearly suspicious? p.120 Nabiki: What's with that rotating chair? Kasumi: Father got it. Ranma: What are we going to do with these suspicious things? Soun: Well, well, according to the priest... Old man: These Dougi choose who will wear them. The Dougi won't allow themselves to be worn by anybody but the one they acknowledge as master... Ranma: What?! p.121 Ranma: Which means, if I can put on the sleeve of these Dougi... Soun: It means you're the true martial artist. Ranma: Interesting. Ranma: At once I'll... Panda: Greenhorn. Soun: Ohh. Panda: I'll get them! Dougi: Come and get it! Panda: Ouch! Ranma: These things! Soun: Ehh, won't you behave? p.122 Ranma: Damn it... Akane: What is that? Annoying... Ranma: What's with these Dougi? Soun: HMM... Soun: I heard from the priest that the Dougi cry all night, seeking their master... Ranma: Uncle! If you knew, why... p.123 Soun: Yes, look at this. Ranma: Ugh. Soun: Because he said, if you take it now, I'll throw in this lucky purse of the seven lucky gods... Ranma: ...You wanted it...? Soun: At any rate, we won't put up with this crying all night any more! Ranma: I'll shred you and throw you in the gutter! Akane: Ranma's voice...? Akane: Wait a minute, what's all the noise...? Ranma: Ah! p.124 Ranma: Run, Akane!! Ranma: Those Dougi are terribly fierce... Akane: Eh...? Akane: KYAH--! Ranma: A-Akane! p.125 Akane: Ah...? Soun: Ohh! Akane: Ehhh? Dougi that make you stronger?! Ranma: A-Akane's the true martial artist chosen by the Dougi?! Ranma: It's not me, but Akane... p.126 Ranma: Hm? Akane: Hey, hey, hey! Akane: Let's practise, practise. Ranma: Heh, you want to use me for a training dummy? Funny. Ranma: I'll throw you lightly. Ranma: Come at me from anywhere. Akane: Yeah. p.127 Ranma: Ugh! Ranma: Hah! Ranma: Wha... Soun: OHH! Panda: Th-This is splendid! p.128 Akane: I beat Ranma!! Akane: This is my... Akane: Latent talent?! Soun: Yes, just like a daughter of the Tendoh Dohjoh!! Ranma: Heavy... Ranma: I can't accept it...!! p.129 Ranma: For me not to be chosen, of all things... Ranma: There's some mistake! Kasumi: My, it's quite fond of you, Akane... Akane: It's plenty cute. Happosai: Who tore up my precious photo collection--? Ranma: Those Dougi... Ranma: Could it be?!! p.130 Ranma: Sneaking around and peeking. Ranma: After all, you just like girls. Ranma: If so, the story is simple. Ranma: I'll get you to wrap around my female form! p.131 Ranma: Did it... Ranma: Ugh... Ranma: T-The bust is tight!! Ranma: Even though the waist is this loose... Ranma: It rejected me... Ranma: Th-These Dougi... Ranma: I can't wear them unless I have no figure--?! WAH--! p.132 Ranma: Eep. Akane: Who's got no figure--! Ranma: Vroom. Akane: REALLY. Akane: Because he can't accept that he's not the chosen martial artist... Ranma: Akane--, stupid Dougi--, because I'll show you I can put them on for sure--. Panda: You're unseemly. Nabiki: Somehow, she's baying. Kasumi: Because Ranma is stubborn from time to time... p.133 Part 9 - Ranma's Plot Akane: My body's light. Akane: These Dougi are amazing. p.134 Ranma: Hey, I've been waiting, Akane. Akane: Hm? Akane: What, Ranma, are you still trying to get the Dougi? Ranma: Heh, because the size is wrong... Ranma: I've given up on wearing them. Ranma: But! p.135 Ranma: I can't let the story end with my being beaten! Ranma: One more duel, Akane!! Nabiki: So, you were beaten again? Akane: Sorry, I came out SERIOUSLY... Ranma: No figure. Akane: Say whatever you want. Ranma: No figure, no figure, no figure, no figure. Akane: Who said you could say it as many times as you wanted? p.136 Kasumi: You're good friends, aren't you. Akane: Does it look that way? Ranma: Hm? Akane: Dougi-chan... Ranma: What, isn't it crowded? Akane: Ahh--! Ranma: Heh... Ranma: These stupid Dougi--! p.137 Soun: Hmm, the legendary Dougi are strong!! Nabiki: He can't make a dent at all. Ranma: No way. Ranma: They're just Dougi! Ranma: Deyah--! p.138 Soun: Ohh! Soun: There was that method?! Panda: Splendid!! Ranma: Heh. Akane: Stop it already, Dougi-chan. p.139 Akane: There, there, it's fine if you understand. Don't tease Ranma too much, OK? Ranma: Ugh... Ranma: GRR... Akane: You're not crying, are you? Ranma: I'm laughing, of course. Ranma: Listen up, Akane, stupid Dougi! Ranma: If you're going to take it easy, do it now!! Akane: Wait a minute, Ranma... Ranma: Damn it! p.140 Akane: Geez. Soun: Where in the world did Ranma... Nabiki: ...He's still here. Ranma: Idiot, stupid, fool. Ranma: Shit--, there's got to be some way to beat it... Genma: There are two ways. Ranma: Dad... Soun: You want to know the secret of the Dougi, don't you? Ranma: Uncle... p.141 Soun: When I sought the advice of the priest at the Mountain Temple where the Dougi were kept... Sign: Mountain Temple Sign: Priest Soun: Those Dougi seem terribly jealous. Ranma: Yeah? Soun: He said that if the martial artist that they've accepted as their master has their heart stolen by the opposite sex, they won't be able to put them on again... Ranma: Are you telling me to seduce Akane? Soun & Genma: Ping-Pong! (Fig: Right answer) p.142 Ranma: Stupid, how can I do such a cowardly thing? Genma: Phew... Genma: If so, there is one other way left. Genma: You have to hit the dismemberment button that's attached to the Dougi' belt with all your strength. Ranma: What? Akane: Where is the world is that rascal Ranma? Akane: Stupid Dougi, prepare yourself--! p.143 Ranma: That's it, good. Hinako: Saotome, you're late. Ranma: A chance! p.144 Genma: Ranma, you've exhausted all methods. Ranma: Heh, don't hold me in contempt. Ranma: I won't begrudge even my utmost efforts to beat the chosen martial artist!! Akane: Letter arrow? p.145 Akane: "Let's meet alone together..." Akane: Ranma...? Soun: (2) He said that if the martial artist that they've accepted as their master has their heart stolen by the opposite sex, they won't be able to put them on again... Ranma: Heh... I'll show you my true power, called the Emperor of Seduction. Akane: Ranma... Ranma: Shh. Akane: Why'd you call me to a place like this? p.146 Ranma: I bought a cake. Akane: So... Akane: What? Ranma: W-Well, the truth is... Ranma: Lately... There's a girl I like... Akane: Heh, heh... Akane: So...? Ranma: But she's in a trance about having become so strong... Ranma: And a rival has suddenly appeared... Ranma: Listen until the end... Akane: SO? p.147 Ranma: S-So, it's you. Akane: Huh? Ranma: You've got to choose between me and those Dougi. Akane: Heh, I thought it was something like that. Akane: Namely, you're embarrassed because I'm stronger? Ranma's face: MAP Ranma: It's not like that, not by any means. Ranma: Besides... Ranma: Those Dougi stick so close to you... Ranma: I can't get close to you... Ranma: I'm lonely... p.148 Akane: R-Really...? Ranma: M-Might be cute... Ranma: Wh-What'll I do...? Kasumi: Did Ranma go out to practise? Nabiki: Who knows? Although he's exerting his utmost efforts at all kinds of things... p.149 Part 10 - Even Though I Told Her How I Really Feel for the First Time... p.150 Akane: If you say so, Ranma... Akane: I'll even seal up the Dougi... Ranma: Eh? Akane: But... After all, you don't like it because I'm stronger? p.151 Akane: I'm fine. Akane: It's not like I got stronger because I worked hard... Soun: (2) He said that if the martial artist that they've accepted as their master has their heart stolen by the opposite sex, they won't be able to put them on again... Akane: I don't want to fight with Ranma over a stupid thing like this... Ranma: AHH! Akane: ...What's the matter? p.152 Soun: ...They've stopped moving. Panda: Slow rascal Ranma: I'm a jerk... Ranma: I was the lowest man... For fooling this kind of obedient Akane... Ranma: I'm not qualified to lay a hand on Akane now. Soun: After all, here we'll give one loving push. Panda: Yeah. Ranma: Akane, I... Akane: Kyah--, no--! p.153 Akane: Ranma... Ranma: A-Akane... p.154 Nabiki: You shouldn't interfere. Kasumi: What a pity. Soun: The legendary Dougi are not to be underestimated. p.155 Nabiki: What do you mean, Father? Soun: Yes, these Dougi are terribly jealous. Soun: If the martial artist that they've accepted as their master has their heart stolen by the opposite sex, they won't be able to put them on again... Ranma: Wah! Akane: ...So that was it... Ranma: Y-You're wrong. Ranma: Although that was my intention at first, I... Soun: No matter what the reason, if the two of you are friends again, congratulations, congratulations. p.156 Nabiki: Akane... Aren't you strong even without putting the Dougi on? Akane: I don't want to see your face any more! Ranma: A-Akane. Ranma: Wai... p.157 Akane: Stupid, stupid, stupid!! Akane: I'm a fool. Ranma: Akane... Soun: Still more tragic!! Nabiki: Because Father said an unwarranted thing... Akane: Are you comforting me, Dougi-chan? p.158 Akane: Dougi-chan?! Ranma: A-Akane... Ranma: Sorry. Ranma: U-Um... Akane: It's all right, I don't care. Akane: I was just an idiot for being fooled. Akane: The story's over, so disappear. Ranma: The story's not over yet. S-So, what can I say... Ranma: At first, certainly, I wanted to get you away from the Dougi, but... p.159 Ranma: B-But, somehow, along the way... Ranma: Really, Akane, you were c... Ranma: (3) C, c, c, c, c... Panda: Kanji for mosquito? Soun: Clay roof tiles? Nabiki: Cash? Ranma: C... Ranma: C... Ranma: I thought you were cute! Ranma: I-I said it... p.160 Akane: Ranma... Akane: AREN'T YOU A FOOL? p.161 Akane: Yes, yes, don't you try the same trick over and over again? Ranma: I-Idiot, now I'm... Akane: At any rate, it's another plan to break up my friendship with Dougi-chan. Ranma: Th-This bitch... Even though naive me told her my true feelings for the very first time... Ranma: SHE'S NOT CUTE--!! p.162 Ranma: Jerk, I'm not doing a convenient mockery, when I come out seriously, those stupid Dougi... Akane: Oho... Akane: They beat you?! p.163 Akane: Haa... Akane: Hah! p.164 Akane: Sorry, but because I won't make allowances for you! Ranma: Heh... No matter what I say any more... Akane: It's no use! Soun: Ahh, for what must the two of them fight? Kasumi: They say people are as good friends as much as they fight. Nabiki: I see? p.165 Part 11 - The Distance Between Two People p.166 Akane: The crime of toying with a woman's heart!! Akane: You'd better thoroughly repent it. Soun: Now Akane's battle capability has been pulled out 100% by the Dougi!! Kasumi: My, stronger than Ranma? Nabiki: She's so angry she's gone to pieces. p.167 Ranma: There's only one way to stop it. Ranma: That dismemberment button affixed to the belt... Ranma: To hit it as hard as I can... p.169 Akane: Heh... Akane: Pitiful... p.170 Akane: Goodbye, Ranma... I'll never see you again. Ranma: Ugh... Ranma: I won't let you run away. Ranma: At any rate, take off the Dougi!! The story's after that!! Soun: Hm. p.171 Ranma: Eek. Akane: You... Are trying to hit me...? Ranma: Y-You're wrong. I'm after the Dougi... Akane: And you said I was cute! Akane: You were lying after all! You coward, you lip-deep man, you cockroach! Akane: I HATE YOU! Ranma: Hmph... Ranma: Because I was told until now... p.172 Ranma: I'll tell her back!! Ranma: Idiot, idiot, no figure, gorilla. Soun: What?! Nabiki: What does he mean by making Akane more angry?! Ranma: Come here. Akane: I'll kill you!! Akane: Ranma!! Come out. Akane: Hm?! p.173 Akane: Hah! Sign: Don't break the flower pot. Ranma: Heh, your stomach is wide open. Akane: Damned idiot. Ranma: If so... p.174 Ranma: How's this! Ranma: THIS time. Sign: Don't cut down the trees. p.175 Ranma: Heh... You do pretty well... Akane: You're just a fool. Akane: It goes without saying, but if you hit me with even one punch, I won't forgive you my whole life!! Ranma: Wha... Nabiki: Yeah, don't hit her in the stomach on top of toying with her heart. Kasumi: Even if you win, Ranma, a deep ditch will remain... Ranma: Th-That's so contrary to right. Ranma: I'm only after the dismemberment button... p.176 Ranma: There's a way! Ranma: Akane, Ranma: Let's continue the duel. Ranma: Let's go. Akane: To choose a duel over making up with me, of all things... p.177 Akane: I knew it, but... Akane: After all, you're a heretic--! Ranma: I don't care a bit if you hate me. Ranma: This is the end. Nabiki: Ranma, do you still feel like hitting her?! Soun: Is he aiming for a cross counter?! p.178 Ranma: My aim is between her stomach and the belt... Ranma: With my slipped-in hand as a cushion, just the dismemberment button... Ranma: Geh?! Ranma: It can't be! You're have such a bad figure, I can't get my hand in! Akane: Wha... Akane: Who's got no figure?! p.179 Ranma: W-Went in... Ranma: Go! Akane: Who's got no figure, who's got no figure, who's got no figure! Akane: Hah! Nabiki: Ahh! Kasumi: The dismemberment button... p.180 Kasumi: It's a good thing it didn't come apart in a high place. Nabiki: Ahh, but look at that. p.181 Sign: Wet paint All: Wet paint!! Akane: NO--! p.182 Akane: R-Ranma... Akane: Why did you shield me...? Ranma: Are you still mad...? Akane: Can we stay like this a little longer? Ranma: Fine, but... Ranma: Although the paint feels bad... Kasumi: It was cute, so I sewed it up. Akane: Stop it, Dougi-chan. Soun: I'd like to exchange some Dougi.
