- Ranma #31 - Chapter 1: Happousai's New Pupil (Page 6) Voice: P.E. shorts thief!! Boy: It's Happousai again. Ranma: That horny old man... every time... Ranma: Eeeei! Girl #1: Now we caught you! Girl #2: Take this! Take that! (Page 7) Happousai: Hm? Happousai: Akane-chan! Akane: What do you think you're doing?! What do you think you're doing?! What do you think you're doing?! Akane: Hm? Ojiisan...? Girl #1: ...This means... Girl #2: The thief is... Akane: Ahh?! Ranma: A brat?! Girl: Oh no... we were so sure it was ojiisan... Happousai: Me?! (Page 8) Happousai: H... how could you... Happousai: I didn't do anything bad... Happousai: How cruel! Ranma: Stop right there! Happousai: Let me go! I was in the middle of my stroll! Ranma: What makes this a stroll?! Ranma: Ack! Girl: Kyaa!!! Akane: A smokescreen?! (Page 9) Ranma: *Gasp* Child: "Raijin mouhitsuken" (Heavenly God's fierce writing technique)!! Girl: *Cough* *Cough* Akane: Ah! Boy: The shorts, old man, and the brat... have all disappeared! Ranma: Grrr... that brat... Akane: Eh...? Boy: Aaah!! Akane: R... Ranma... (Page 10) Ranma: He's not a common monster... Ranma: . o O ( I was avoiding him, but he wrote the whole thing on me... ) Face: Boy #1: Oooh! Penmanship! Boy #2: What a great style of writing! Girl: That small child... Boy: Wrote the whole thing in Chinese characters! Boy: He really isn't a common monster! Ranma: That's not what I meant! Happousai: You... saved me. (Page 11) Child: I can. Happousai: What an admirable child! Child: Read this. Ranma: You took him in as your pupil?! Ranma: Why you...! What kind of dark, evil way are you trying to lead him to?! Happousai: What do you mean?! What's so dark about me? Akane: You're whole way of living is dark. Happousai: I have an obligation to train him! Look at this letter! Soun: A letter?! Ranma: *Gasp* (Page 12) Ranma: What makes this a letter?! Happousai: I made a mistake, you fool! Letter: Soun: Ooh. Ranma: Rakkyousai...? Akane: That's a great writing style. Soun: Is this a person you know, master? Happousai: *Nod* Rakutarou: ...... (Page 13) Happousai: Rakkyousai was my closest male friend... Happousai: We used to call each other Happy and Lucky. Happousai: However one day... Person on the right: Person on the left: Ranma: Who's that? Happousai: Lucky... just disappeared all of a sudden... Young Happousai: Lucky! Where'd you go...?? Happousai: So, I didn't know if he was alive or not... Happousai: But trusting me with his great-grandson like this... Soun: But... Soun: Will you be okay? Master's training method is very cruel. Happousai: *Smirk*, no need to worry. Happousai: With my observations so far... Happousai: I believe he can do better than Ranma. (Page 14) Ranma: *Smirk*, Interesting... Soun: ...Yes, it's interesting all right. Panda: Soun: Wipe it off quickly. Akane: Stop doing that, Rakutarou-chan. This oniichan is scary when he gets angry. Ranma: A brat like that can't make me angry. Rakutarou: Sorry. Akane: Well, as long as you understand. Rakutarou: Oneechan... Rakutarou: I'm so ashamed of myself. Happousai: Hm?! (Page 15) Happousai: Rakutarou! What a rude thing to do!! Happousai: Sorry about that Akane-chan! I'll apologize for my pupil's rudeness to your breast! Ranma: Hey you. Ranma: If you keep on doing this... Akane: ...Shouldn't you get angry? Ranma: *Smirk*, I wouldn't play with a brat like this... (Page 16) Ranma: I'm going to beat you up! Ranma: Why you little...! Soun: Hm?! Ranma: Stop right there you brat!! Akane: Ranma can't catch him...? Soun: That child... certainly can do it! (Page 17) Ranma: Grrr. Ranma: Eeeeei! Ranma: Now I've got you... Rakutarou: "Raijin mouhitsuken"... (Page 18) Voice: "Nikawa kinbakuboku" (Restraint with tightening glued-ink)!! Ranma: *Gasp* Rakutarou: Like the name says, it's ink with glue inside. The more you struggle, the more it tightens up. Rakutarou: I was waiting for this opportunity to talk to you alone, older pupil. Ranma: ...Why, I thought you're a silent brat... but you can speak very well. (Page 19) Rakutarou: I have something I want to ask you. Ranma: Oh? Rakutarou: Happousai master's treasure... Rakutarou: Where is the "Butterfly brocade"? Ranma: "Butterfly brocade"?! What's that? Rakutarou: *Smirk*, If you don't tell me right now... Rakutarou: I'm going to draw a mustache on your face! Ranma: Stop this nonsense, you brat! Rakutarou: ! (Page 20) Rakutarou: Oneechan! Ranma: Ahh! Ranma: What do you think you're doing?! Rakutarou: Ouch! Ranma: Damn it... Ranma: What a perverted brat. Rakutarou: I can. Happousai: You're really a nice child! I think you're going to be my best pupil!! Soun: Hm?! Genma: Ranma, don't you lose to him! Ranma: *Smirk* Ranma: . o O ( I don't know what that brat's plan is... ) Ranma: . o O ( But I'm going to reveal his true identity! ) Chapter 2: Treasure - "Butterfly Brocade" (On Ranma's face: ) (Page 22) Happousai: Lucky! Arrow up: Rakkyousai: Ah, Happy. Arrow up: Happousai: I heard you made something wonderful called "butterfly brocade". Rakkyousai: I'll show it to you today. Voice: This is the "butterfly brocade." Voice: Wow... wonderful. (Page 23) Happousai: Wahahahaha! I got the "butterfly brocade"! Rakkyousai: Why you Happy...! Rakutarou: . o O ( "Butterfly brocade"... I have to get it... ) Ranma: Yo, Rakutarou. Ranma: I'm sorry to bother you while you are searching for something, but... Ranma: I came to pay you back for what happened earlier on! Rakutarou: Well, well... I'm this busy, so... (Page 24) Rakutarou: I'll put you to sleep for awhile, older pupil! Rakutarou: "Raijin mouhitsuken"! Ranma: How many times are you going to use the same technique?! Ranma: Cross counter kick. (Page 25) Face: Ranma: *Smirk*, I defeated your "raijin mouhitsuken." Ranma: What's wrong?? Ranma: Come on, do something!! Rakutarou: I'm... Rakutarou: I'm just a child... Ranma: Hm? Rakutarou: You really hit a child...!! Ranma: H... hey. Soun: Why is it so noisy here? Akane: Ranma, did you make him cry? Rakutarou: O... Rakutarou: Oneechan! (Page 26) Soun: Rakutarou-kun. Cry on this old man's chest. Soun: Go ahead. Rakutarou: Waaaaah! Idiot older pupil! Ranma: Ahhhhhh!! Happousai: Stop making noise!! Soun: Now then... Nabiki: Let's go back to sleep. (Page 27) Happousai: Hm? Happousai: "Butterfly brocade"...? Akane: Don't be so serious with Rakutarou-kun... since he's only a child. Ranma: Don't you understand, Akane? He's not a normal brat. Ranma: . o O ( Anyway... ) Ranma: . o O ( What the heck is that "butterfly brocade" Rakutarou is looking for... ) (Page 28) Ranma: . o O ( He said... it's that old man's treasure. ) Ranma: . o O ( Maybe he's keeping that "butterfly brocade" as a secret...? ) Happousai: Akane-chan. A present for you. Akane: Hm? "Butterfly brocade"? Ranma: So it's not a secret thing. Ranma: Let's see what this "butterfly brocade" is! Ranma: This is... Akane: Seven colors of the ink?! (Page 29) Voice: "Nikawa kinbakuboku"-"spider's thread". Ranma: Ah! Happousai: Hm?! Ranma: Look out! Happousai: Ah! A bra... Happousai: Ack! Akane: Rakutarou-kun... Ranma: *Smirk*, so you finally came, you brat. Happousai: Let me down!! Rakutarou: "Butterfly brocade"... (Page 30) Rakutarou: I got it! Ranma: Uwaa! I lost it! Rakutarou: Wahahahahaha! Ranma: Maybe not. Ranma: If you want it, then you have to defeat me first. (Page 31) Rakutarou: "Circle of blazing fire"! Ranma: Ah! Hot!! Rakutarou: "Exploding bullet-like-small brush"! Akane: Ranma! (Page 32) Akane: Stop fighting with a child. You're acting like a bully. Ranma: I'm not the bully... he's the bully! Rakutarou: "Pounding on the head with the brush." Ranma: Ah! Rakutarou: You novice! Happousai: Rakutarou, why you...! Happousai: You tricked innocent me and became my pupil just to steal that ink from me?! Rakutarou: Yeah. Happousai: Oh, what a shame. Happousai: Okay, listen to what I have to say, Rakutarou. (Page 33) Rakkyousai: Happy! This is a present from me to express my friendship to you. Young Happousai: Thanks Lucky! Person on the right: Person on the left: Happousai: In other word, this "butterfly brocade" is a symbol of friendship between Lucky and I. Happousai: So I can't even allow you, his great-grandson, to take this away from me. Rakutarou: Nonsense! Happousai: Ack! Akane: Wait... you're still going after him? Ranma: Of course. Akane: He's trying that hard to get that "butterfly brocade"... I wonder if it's that special kind of ink... (Page 34) Ranma: Damn it... That Rakutarou brat... Ranma: Unforgivable! Ranma: Ah! Happousai: So rude to your master! Rakutarou: Baka, fool, stupid. Ranma: Rakutarou!! Happousai: Ran-ma Rakutarou: Oneechan. (Page 35) Ranma: *Smirk*, now I've got you, you fool. Too bad for you old man, but you're coming with me as well. Ranma: Rakutarou! Now... Ranma: I'm going to give you the taste of hell!! Ranma: Take this! The worst possible thing... feel of a young man's chest! Happousai: Ahhhhh!!!! (Page 36) Ranma: Wahahahaha! How is it?! The feel of yourself pressed down on the bare chest of a man!! Rakutarou: Why you little boy... Ranma: Hm? Rakkyousai: Un...for...gi...va...ble... Ranma: Eh?! Happousai: Hm?! Happousai: Y... you're Lucky! Rakkyousai: It's been a long time, Happy. Chapter 3: Secret - "Kochou Ranbu" (Dance of the butterflies) (Page 38) Ranma: I knew you're not an ordinary brat... Ranma: But I didn't know you're an old man!! Happousai: L... Lucky... Rakkyousai: Indeed... Rakkyousai: I got my youth back at Jyuusenkyou's "Tontsuuniichuwan," (spring where a child has drowned) so I can have my revenge. But I became a little too young. Guide: Aiya! You fell in the "Tontsuuniichuwan." (Page 39) Rakkyousai: Since I got my treasure, "butterfly brocade", back... which you stole from me when we were young... Young Rakkyousai: Why you Happy...! Rakkyousai: There's no reason for me to let you live! Happy... prepare yourself!! Happousai: Wait Lucky! Happousai: Just exactly what did I do? Ranma: You stole that "butterfly brocade" from that old man! (Page 40) Rakkyousai: "Wasabi smoke bomb-ink"! Ranma: What?! Ranma: Ack!! Happousai: Oof! My nose... Ranma: Eh?! Cold!! Rakkyousai: I waited long time for this day to come... (Page 41) Rakkyousai: When I use this seven colors of ink, "butterfly brocade"... Rakkyousai: My "raijin mouhitsuken" technique will be complete for the first time... Ranma: . o O ( What?! ) Ranma: . o O ( "Nikawa kinbakuboku"! ) Ranma: . o O ( "Circle of blazing fire"! ) Ranma: . o O ( "Wasabi smoke bomb-ink"! ) Ranma: . o O ( All those variety of techniques... ) Ranma: . o O ( Is he saying that those were just the beginning?! ) (Page 42) Rakkyousai: Get ready to receive it! Rakkyousai: "Raijin mouhitsuken"'s final secret technique... Rakkyousai: "Kochou ranbu"!! Ranma: Aaah?! (Page 43) Ranma: . o O ( Seven different colors of lights are reflecting... ) Ranma: . o O ( ...Like the butterflies...?! ) Rakkyousai: This is the end!! Ranma: Eeeei! Ranma: Why you Rakkyousai... Rakkyousai: You're trying to avoid me with this? (Page 44) Ranma: Just aim at me... Rakkyousai: Thanks for that offer. So, you want to be the first victim of the "butterfly brocade"... Happousai: . o O ( Ranma... how nice of you... ) Happousai: . o O ( You're risking yourself to protect me! ) Happousai: I'll live for your share as well! Ranma: Wait! Voice: "Kochou ranbu"! Ranma: Ah! (Page 45) Rakkyousai: Give yourself up! Ranma: Never!! Rakkyousai: Ah. Happousai: Why you Ranma... using me as a shield... Voice: "Happoudaikarin"! Ranma: Hey, old man! Ranma: "Kochou ranbu"... Ranma: What kind of technique is that? (Page 46) Ranma: . o O ( The moment he performed his technique, I got a chill. ) Ranma: . o O ( "Kochou ranbu" is a fierce technique... ) Ranma: . o O ( My intuition has never failed me before. ) Ranma: . o O ( And the old man who got hit by that technique is... ) Happousai: . o O ( "Butterfly brocade"... he never used it before I inherited it... ) Happousai: . o O ( But if my intuition is right... ) Happousai: . o O ( The "butterfly brocade"... "kochou ranbu" are... ) Voice: "Kouchou ranbu"! Happousai&Ranma: ! (Page 47) Happousai: "Kouchou ranbu"... do it...!! Ranma: Wh... Rakkyousai: What?! Happousai: Ranma! Don't move! Ranma: Hm?! Rakkyousai: Hm?! Ranma: . o O ( Old man?! You have some kind of a plan...? ) (Page 48) Rakkyousai: Wahahahaha, I got the breast print mark... I got the breast print mark...!! Happousai: I want to look at it, too! Happousai: Oooh! All seven colors are shining... looks exactly like the "butterfly brocade." Rakkyousai: I have mastered this ultimate secret technique... Happousai: Lucky! Sorry about what happened 100 years ago. Rakkyousai: It's okay. Since I couldn't have gotten this breast print mark without your cooperation. (Page 49) Happousai: . o O ( "Butterfly brocade" has... ) Rakkyousai: . o O ( Resurrected our friendship! ) Ranma: I see, I see... so it was that kind of a technique. Happousai&Rakkyousai: Hm?! Rakkyousai: Destroying that paper is useless!! Happousai: We are going to get as many of those as we want to now!! (Page 50) Ranma: Never!! Ranma: I'm going to punish you both!! Rakkyousai: "Nikawa kinbakuboku"! Happousai: "Happoudaikarin"! Ranma: Ack!!! Rakkyousai&Happousai: You think you can run away from our friendship power?! Ranma: Grrr... Rakkyousai: Now... to use the "butterfly brocade" again... Rakkyousai: Hm?! Happousai: Adios amigo. Rakkyousai: Why you...!! Happousai: Wahahahaha! All the women in the world's breast print marks are mine!! Ranma: Hm?! (Page 51) Ranma: Here. Happousai: Ah, a bra... Ranma: I'll keep this for all the women in this world's sake. Rakkyousai: Why you... give it back! Happousai: Our friendship power is restored again, Lucky. Ranma: "Hiryuushoutenha"!! (Page 52) Ranma: It was a hopeless battle from the beginning... Voice: Why you... Happousai: You think we'll stop because of this... Rakkyousai: All the women in this world's breast print marks...! Voice: Here, now are you satisfied? Voice: I threw away the "butterfly brocade" though. Happousai: Yaaaay! Ranma's breast print mark! Rakkyousai: You're really a nice kid. Akane: I heard that ojiisan was disguised as that boy. Nabiki: That was a useless thing to do... Akane: Is it okay? Giving them your breast print marks. Ranma: It's okay. Since it's only my sacrifice. Man: Who did this?! Putting things like this on the tanuki (raccoon dog)'s breasts.
