Akane: Because she seemed to be in some need. Nabiki: So, bathing in the park? Rouge: My name is Rouge. Rouge: From Shanghai in China, I'm a Virgo with blood type A. Rouge: I'm a shy, beautiful girl. Nabiki: Oh, I see. p.13 Rouge: The tragedy began this afternoon. Rouge: Ahh, after all, a hot spring is the best. Rouge: Hah - Who is it?! Rouge: KYAH--!

You'll talk to anybody if they listen... Rouge: Eek! Pansuto Tarou: I'll beat you to death! Rouge: KYAH--! Soun: What a jerk you are. Ranma: What are you doing, beating up on a girl? Pansuto Tarou: Let me go, I'm the victim. Soun & Ranma: Hm?! p.15 Soun: No matter how you look at it, it's your fault! Rouge: Wait. Rouge: O vulgar one, I'll forgive your cowardly, peeping behavior, so... Pansuto Tarou: WHO'S vulgar?! Rouge: Please return what you stole from me. Ranma: You even steal... Pansuto Tarou: I have no idea! Pansuto Tarou: Heh. Pansuto Tarou: I see...! p.16 Pansuto Tarou: (2) I was a fool to trust you, even a little bit... Pansuto Tarou: I'm getting out of this house! Ranma: Hey... Rouge: Kyah--, monster--, monster--! Nabiki: He came back on purpose to break it... p.17 Ranma: Hey! Rouge: Ah... Rouge: Wait... Kasumi: Oh. my. Akane: Rouge. Akane: She doesn't look like she's hurt, but... She's tired out. Ranma: But... Ranma: If the glowing ball was Rouge... p.18 Ranma: Did she beat up Pansuto Tarou like that...? Akane: But... She hardly looks that strong. Happosai: I'm back--. Happosai: Whoops! Happosai: Hm? A guest? p.19 Happosai: GEH?! Akane: Hah! Ranma: An old man's scream?! Akane: Ah...

Rouge: No--, he's over there. Rouge: You're wrong--. Akane: That... Ranma: Rouge?! Rouge: Please return what you took from me. Pansuto Tarou: I don't know what you're talking about. p.25 Ranma: Where did that Pansuto Tarou go? Ranma: Pansuto Tarou--! Pansuto Tarou: Don't call me that name. p.26 Pansuto Tarou: Why should I tell you now? Ranma: According to the circumstances, I might even help you. Pansuto Tarou: Hah, don't make me laugh. Ranma: Don't be unreasonable. Ranma: You're in trouble with a monster like that for an opponent... And didn't you seek me out? Ranma: You... Don't have any friends, do you. Pansuto Tarou: Mind your own business. p.27 Rouge: Heh, heh, heh! Rouge: You won't escape, vulgar jerk. Pansuto Tarou: She came?! Pansuto Tarou: Damn you, I'll turn the tables on you. p.28 Rouge: Heh, heh, heh - Fool. Rouge: Can I let you shape-change so easily? Pansuto Tarou: Bwah - Ouch-ouch-ouch. Ranma: The water boiled... Pansuto Tarou has no chance of winning like this. p.29 Rouge: If you value your life... Rouge: Return the source of my power!! Pansuto Tarou: I told you, I don't know anything about that. Ranma: Hey, I believe you. Ranma: So, return what it was that you stole. Pansuto Tarou: You DON'T believe me! Ranma: D-Damn it... Rouge: Heh, heh, heh! p.30 Rouge: The death blow... Rouge: Ugh! Rouge: Regrettable... Ranma: Hm?! Pansuto Tarou: She ran away... Ranma: Why again...? Pansuto Tarou: At any rate... It was her who attacked me in the first place. p.31 Pansuto Tarou: Look at this. Ranma: Hm? Ranma: Iron dumb-bell...? Pansuto Tarou: That time, I was studying in the vicinity of a hot spring. Pansuto Tarou: Huh? Pansuto Tarou: Wah! Pansuto Tarou: Damn it, who's there? p.32 Ranma: You peeped into the hot spring? What then? Pansuto Tarou: I wasn't peeping! Pansuto Tarou: Satisfied? Bye... Rouge: Wait! Rouge: Leave what you stole from me, and go!! Ranma: Indeed - I understand perfectly. Ranma: So, what did you take? Pansuto Tarou: Therefore... Pansuto Tarou: I told you I've been falsely accused--! p.33 Ranma: What, even though a person is listening seriously to his tale! Pansuto Tarou: Hm?! Pansuto Tarou: Th-This is... Narration: Around that time, at Juhsenkyoh... Guide: Three heads and six arms? Riddles are my specialty. Oh, dear, it's not a riddle? Sign: Juhsenkyoh Guide Akane: Eh...? Akane: Ashura Ni-Chuan? Akane: He said there was a pool where Ashura drowned 4000 years ago. Soun: Ashura?! p.34 Narration: Ashura was an ancient Indian demon. Narration: Its personality was exceedingly warlike, and lived up to its name as the strongest fighting god. Akane: It's unmistakable, that she shape-changed when she was covered with water... Soun: Yes, that Rouge... Is a girl who drowned in the Ashura Ni-Chuan! Akane: Kyah! p.35 Rouge: Regrettable... Although I would have had him with one more step... Panda: Ah-wah-wah Rouge: Now that it's come to this...! Ranma: Geez, that Pansuto Tarou... Ranma: Disappearing again... Ranma: I'm home... Nabiki: Ranma! Nabiki: It's too late. Nabiki: Ashura's come back... p.36 Kasumi: There's no dinner for Ranma any more. Rouge: Seconds! Rouge: Seconds! Rouge: Seconds! Soun: My relish... Panda: Terrible! Akane: She says she's going to stay here until the matter's settled. Pansuto Tarou: Eh-heh, I see - These...? Pansuto Tarou: The source of her power!! p.37 Part 3 - How to Use the "Source of Power" p.38 Ranma: Geez, the whole house is shaky. Rouge: Ahh... I fell into it so much... Rouge: For some reason, this house is a series of bad luck... What a whim of fate. Akane: It's all right, Rouge, just hand me a board. Nabiki: YOU broke half of it. p.39 Kasumi: Tired, everybody? Let's have lunch. Soun: It's gotten pretty cleaned up, hasn't it? Akane: I did that part. Ranma: ...I'll bet. Rouge: Kyah--! p.40 Pansuto Tarou: Geh-heh-heh. Rouge: Ah, the vulgar guy! Ranma: Pansuto Tarou, you... Pansuto Tarou: Don't call me that name. Akane: I just fixed that! Pansuto Tarou: Hey, rowdy girl over there! Rouge: I'm Rouge, oh vulgar one. p.41 Pansuto Tarou: That "source of power" of yours... Pansuto Tarou: These? Ranma: Hm? Rouge: Ah! Pansuto Tarou: Geh-heh-heh. Rouge: Please give them back--! Pansuto Tarou: Can't do that. You called me a thief, and beat me black and blue... Pansuto Tarou: As punishment... Rouge: I understand. Rouge: Even though it's so disgusting it makes my skin crawl, I'll go on a date with you. Pansuto Tarou: Who's asking for a date?! p.42 Pansuto Tarou: Can I get you to tell me how to use this "source of power"...? Rouge: Th-That's... Ranma: That rascal Pansuto Tarou... He intends to get his hands on the strength of Ashura? Rouge: I can't cause the rest of you any more inconvenience... Ranma: Hm? Rouge: I'll take them back by my own strength. Pansuto Tarou: How dare you! p.43 Rouge: Heh, heh, heh!! Nabiki: ...I thought she said she wouldn't cause any inconvenience... Ranma: Pretend to be deaf. p.44 Rouge: Fool, the "source of power" is Ashura's secret treasure to use! Rouge: Ashura Fla--sh! Ranma: Ugh. Akane: B-Blinding. p.45 Rouge: Ashura Fire--! Rouge: Heh, heh, heh. Ranma: Why can't Pansuto Tarou get close to her? Akane: But Ashura is at a disadvantage. Akane: Because Pansuto Tarou is holding onto Ashura's "source of power"... Rouge: Ugh... p.46 Ranma: Hm?! Rouge: Ungh... Soun: Ashura's movements have gotten slow... Ranma: Now that he mentions it, that time, too, just before she struck the death blow... Rouge: REGRETTABLE... Ranma: After all, the "source of power" is... Ranma: ...Is an energy maintenance item, just like its name...? Pansuto Tarou: Geh-heh-heh. p.47 Rouge: Why, you. Ranma" Ah... Akane: Smoke?! p.48 Rouge: KYAH--! Ranma: I-I see, due to Ashura's heat, the rain turned into hot water... Akane: She's falling!! p.50 Rouge: Oh vulgar one... Nabiki: Ahh! Ranma: Pansuto Tarou... Rouge: For you to save me, whom you hate... Akane: ...Doesn't he mean to squash her to death? Ranma: HMM... Rouge: All right, I'll tell you how to use the "source of power." Pansuto Tarou: Heh-heh. p.51 Akane: Ah! Rouge: Got them! Rouge: Heh, heh, heh, idiot. Rouge: What luck, that you saved me with the hand that grasped the "source of power!" p.52 Rouge: "Source of power" - Affixed!! Ranma: Stuck them... On her back?! Rouge: As thanks for saving me... Rouge: I'll let you thoroughly taste Ashura's limitless power. Ranma: If it's bad personality, it's a toss-up, but... Nabiki: Bad personality, eh... Akane: I especially wish they wouldn't fight in the air over our house. p.53 Part 4 - Two Platon (?) in Flames p.54 Rouge: Heh, heh, heh, vulgar jerk. This time I'll finish you off nicely. Ranma: Suddenly Ashura got the "source of power" back... Akane: What'll happen if she gets any stronger than that? p.55 Soun: I've gotten the chance to observe closely the true power of the strongest fighting god... Maybe it's good luck for our martial arts family. Ranma: Uncle... Rouge: Six-Fist Comet Random-Shots! Soun: Watch closely, the true power of Ashura!! p.56 Kasumi: Oh, dear, this time it's damage to the bath. Nabiki: Father, are you going to watch the true power of Ashura some more? Soun: Fine, whatever. Rouge: Heh, heh, heh, this is still the prelude. Rouge: Eat this, vulgar jerk! Pansuto Tarou: D-Damn it... p.57 Rouge: What?! You stopped my Six-Fist Comet Random-Shots?! p.58 Ranma: Heh, even if you are powered up, you don't change your pattern of heat-line attacks? Rouge: You, impertinent... Pansuto Tarou: He... Protected me...? Ranma: No need to thank me. Ranma: Because I can't stand for our house to get more beaten up than this. Ranma: You should be obedient, soon, too. Ranma: Let's fight in cooperation. p.59 Pansuto Tarou: Y-You... Pansuto Tarou: You're a nice guy. Ranma: You've understood me? Akane: Wow... Soun: The beautiful buds of friendship!! Pansuto Tarou: Thank you, Gay-Boy!! Ranma: Don't worry about it, Pansuto Tarou!! Both: Don't call me that name! Soun: HMM... Nabiki: It didn't last 5 seconds. p.60 Ranma: Let's go, Ashura. Rouge: Heh, heh, are you planning on opening a hardware store? Ranma: Because the defense is sufficient, there's nothing to do but attack! p.61 Ranma: No use, no use--!! Ranma: Ah? Ranma: That hurts. Akane: It's a self-destructive pattern. Soun: Ungh, the promised breakup of a friendship. Ranma: You jerk, you jerk! Rouge: Heh, heh, heh, idiots. p.62 Ranma: ...Making her underestimate us... Ranma: Eat this, a hot water attack! Soun: Ohh!! Akane: Nice!! Ranma: Did it! Ranma: HUH?! p.63 Rouge: THE GREATEST HUMILIATION OF MY WHOLE LIFE. Soun: Oh, no! The hot water evaporated. Nabiki: What a sense of balance... Ranma: Behave yourself and get covered with water! p.64 Rouge: I can't let you live any more... Rouge: ASHURA'S GREATEST FEAT! Ranma: Wha... Rouge: Fire Dragon Great Circle Dance!! p.65 Man: Geh, th-that's... Man: A whirlwind of flames... Soun: She's making a whirlwind by the rotations of her arms... Akane: Ranma... Nabiki: This isn't something they can ward off with pots and pans. p.66 Ranma: OUCH-OUCH-OUCH!! Rouge: Heh, heh, heh. Rouge: It's impossible to escape from my hellish flames of retribution!! Ranma: D-Damn it. Pansuto Tarou: Ungh. Ranma: Huh?! Akane: Wha?! p.67 Ranma: Why, you, are you still trying to fight at a time like this...? Ranma: Here... Ranma: Right above the whirlwind... Ranma: Which means, the only safe point from which to attack Ashura!! Ranma: Pansuto Tarou... Ranma: You're leaving everything to me... Narration: But, the truth is... Narration: He was just irritated by the heat and lashed out suddenly... Ranma: I'm touched!! p.68 Ranma: On that wide-open pate... Ranma: Eat my whole-body blow!! Ranma: Wha?! p.69 Part 5 - Secret Fist! Empty-Handed Filial Piety Random Strike p.70 Ranma: Th-This...?! p.71 Ranma: Wah?! Rouge: Before I knew it, you were above my head! Ranma: Sheesh. Rouge: Counterattack!! Ranma: What! Ranma: Did it! p.72 Soun: Ohh! Akane: He hit her on one head. Rouge: Hey! Rouge: Get a hold of yourself. Ranma: I'm going for one more blow! Ranma: Hm?! p.73 Ranma: Pansuto Tarou. Rouge: Hm? Pansuto Tarou: Geh-heh. Rouge: You took my "source of power!" Ranma: What?! Ranma: So, these things that came flying at me a little while ago... p.74 Ranma: These are Ashura's "Source of Power!" Ranma: I see?! Pansuto Tarou: Geh-heh-heh. Akane: Ahh!! Nabiki: Betrayed!! Rouge: You, now that I've lost my "source of power" again... p.75 Rouge: I can't make you eat my ultimate mystery!! Rouge: What a pity! Ranma: That jerk, Pansuto Tarou... Rouge: Ungh. Soun: That damned Pansuto Tarou... Akane: He intends to knock down Ashura and Ranma together. Ranma: Ashura's movements are getting slow. Ranma: We'll be caught like this!! Rouge: It's your fault for riding on me! Ranma: Heh, don't worry, Ashura. p.76 Ranma: I'll give you power with these hands!! Rouge: What?! Ranma: Indiscriminate fighting Saotome style! Ranma: Empty-Handed Filial Piety Random Strike--!! Rouge: Ugh!! p.77 Rouge: Ahh, power... Power is swelling... Soun: Ashura's revived!! Akane: What in the world is Ranma... Rouge: Ashura Ultimate Mystery!! p.78 Rouge: Thunder Snake Heaven's Retribution!! Soun: Ohh! Akane: Thunder!! p.79 Pansuto Tarou: Geh-heh. Soun: Ungh, he avoided everything. Akane: How nimble... Pansuto Tarou: Geh-heh-heh. Rouge: You!! p.80 Akane: Ahh, the lightning hit the frying pan! Nabiki: What a blockhead. Rouge: Heh, heh, heh, it's over for you, vulgar jerk. Ranma: Pansuto Tarou... Stupid guy. p.81 Ranma: You coveted the "source of power" too much. The cause of your downfall is that you wouldn't let go of the frying pan until the end. Ranma: Ahh--! Narration: In this way... Narration: The battle ended without a victor... Kasumi: It looks like a Nazca earth painting, doesn't it, Father. (NOTE: Nazca is the source of those "ancient astronaut" line drawings of people.) Rouge: What a tragedy... The "source of power" was pulverized along with the frying pan... p.82 Rouge: (2) It's all the fault of this vulgar jerk that it got like this. Rouge: This hateful, vulgar jerk. Rouge: Ehh, ehh, ehh, ehh, ehh! Rouge: Ehh, ehh, ehh, ehh! Rouge: Ehh, ehh, ehh, ehh! Pansuto Tarou: Won't somebody stop her?! Ranma: Stop it, Rouge. Ranma: Well, let's go, Rouge. Akane: Hm? Rouge: Um... Where? p.83 Ranma: Isn't it obvious? Ranma: To buy "source of power." Akane: Ehh?! Rouge: They sell it?! Signs: Drug Store Adrenaline V Signs: "Gauss," with Magnetism Makes the blood move well, loosens stiffness Akane: "Source of power"... Magnetic plasters...? Rouge: I also have six arms, so my shoulders are so-- stiff... Shopkeeper: Come again. Akane: Which means... p.84 Akane: So when Ashura revived a little while ago... Ranma: Empty-Handed Filial Piety Random Strike--! Ranma: A simple backrub. Narration: Rouge left... Rouge: With these, I'll be fine the rest of my life. Narration: And... Pansuto Tarou: With these, even world domination isn't a dream. Ranma: It seems you still don't really get it. Akane: I think you can't dominate the world. Panda: HMM...
