- Ranma #34 - Chapter 1: "Setsubun" (holiday for end of winter)!! "Teppoumame" (Page 6) Voice: Oh, this is... Soun: The legendary plant, "teppoumame"...? Man: Oh, you know? (Page 7) Soun: But why are you asking me to take this valuable plant to the Tendou doujou? Man: So you see, the reason is... Man: Ahhhhhh!!! Man: For some reason, everytime the "Setsubun" holiday is near, it does this to me. Ahhhhhhh! Kasumi: That's so unfortunate, isn't it father? Soun: But there is a reason for that. Soun: Why are you walking around with that demon mask on? Man: I'm not wearing any mask. (Page 8) Ranma: C... cold! Panda: Soun: Oh, welcome back. Ranma: Heater... heater under the table. Ranma: Why'd you do that for, you bastard! Ranma: Eh?! Soun: Hm? (Page 9) Ranma: That hurts! Soun: W... why did it do that? Akane: I'm back! I won this in the lottery at the shopping mall! On the plastic: <"Setsubun" set> On the box: Soun: I thought it just reacts to the demons... Ranma: Hmmmmm. Ranma: Oh, I see! (Page 10) Ranma: This thing blows the beans out when it senses anger. Soun: Oh, I see. Anger is in any demon's heart! Akane: So all we have to do is to not get angry. Soun: That's really simple. Nabiki: I'm back! I bought this using every cents we have on this household's account! Nabiki: What's wrong dad? Genma: Aaa... (Page 11) Genma: I don't have any space. Get out of here, Ranma. Ranma: You get out! You're as fat as a blown up balloon. Genma: Why you... talking like that to your father. Sound: <*Firing sound*> Genma: Eh? Ranma: It can move?! Genma: . o O ( ...This means, ) Ranma: . o O ( No matter where we are, if we get angry... then we'll become this "teppoumame"'s victims!! ) (Page 12) Soun: I think it landed on my head to aim better. Nabiki: You think so? Akane: Don't worry. You're safe as long as you don't get angry. Nabiki: I guess you trained yourself well. Nabiki: Sorry. A stain got on this clothes I borrowed from you. Ranma: Oh, so you got attacked as well, Akane? Akane: What's so funny?! Ranma: Hey! It took me a lot of effort to put on that smile... Ranma: *Gasp* (Page 13) Ranma: Eh?! Nabiki: *Smirk*, You two need more practice... Ranma: That Nabiki... she thinks she's the only person who can keep that calm look on her face. Akane: To make her angry, we have to find her bank account book, stock certificates, or cash. Ranma: Na-bi-ki. Akane: Oneechan. Ranma: Look at this! Nabiki: *Gasp* My one-yen-coin savings! (Page 14) Voice: If I do this to it... Picture: Nabiki: That's too bad... this was such a good place to hide it. Ranma: . o O ( *Smirk* ) Ranma: Counter attack! Soun: Ah! Ranma: Wahahahaha, it deserved that. (Page 15) Soun&Akane: . o O ( I... it's going to pay him back in hundred fold... ) Soun: Hm?! Ranma: *Smirk*, just as I thought. This stupid "teppoumame"... Ranma: As long as the person is smiling, it can't blow the beans out. Soun: Oh?! Genma: Good going Ranma! Nice observation. (Page 16) Ranma: Don't praise me like that, pop. Genma: This isn't something we should fight about. Soun: We should think about capturing that thing first. Soun: Take this! Ranma: Hahahahaha, wait! (Page 17) Ranma: Eeeeei! Ranma: Ah! Ranma: P... pop... Genma: Don't worry Ranma. Ranma: Aren't you angry? Genma: This is nothing. Soun: You can become a human being after all, Saotome-kun. Genma: How can I get mad at a person like you, who I care so much about. Genma: Receive your father's love as much as you want! Cradle from hell...!!! (Page 18) Nabiki: Hmmmm, I think we should make it go back to it's original duty... Akane: Original duty...? Nabiki: I'm talking about the demons. Akane: I... I see! If it looks at the demons, then it'll react to it unconditionally! Akane: Here, the demon balloons! Soun: Hm?! (Page 19) Soun: It's distracted! Ranma: Okay! Perfect time to capture it... Nabiki: *Smirk*, you fell for it, "teppoumame." Those balloons were filled with pepper... Nabiki: ...I thought we prepared well, but I guess it was all useless. Ranma: Why'd you prepare so many unnecessary things for, you idiots!! (Page 20) Soun&Genma&Ranma: . o O ( We're too exhausted to do anything... ) Soun&Genma&Ranma: . o O ( There's no one else who can capture it... ) Sign: Kasumi: All done. <"Teppoumame" is no more...> Kasumi: Now, let's gather all the beans around... Nabiki: I think they're dead tired... Ranma: Eventhough we won.
