The so-called "Bakuchai TenKechu" Ryoga used in the aging mushroom arc is actually "Bakusai Tenketsu". Chibi-Ryoga called the name in child speak, and it became Bakuchai Tenkechu.

There is no reason a grow up Ryoga will use the child-speak name.

Yes, Bakusai Tenketsu can make wood go kaboom. It can make most non-living go kaboom, hence "Bakusai" - "Exploding"

"the Yamatano Yarochi"

For the record, it's Yamata no Orochi.

"Raising an eyebrow she laughed unkindly. "It's just a tiny room with one door!"

"No!" He stood up, his eyes wildly darting about from place to place. "I ended up in a huge snowy world… There were animals, weird creatures, a witch and a talking lion! I've been gone for so many years!""

...I have nothing to say, I'm still laughing XD

awesome story

wow the story was a master piece it just really good i really liked

Woo! What a great mystery ride!

soo bewtifull fav

My guess? Ranma found a way to counter the cold. He's using a reverse Hiryu Shoten Ha by channeling hot ki instead of the usual cold, and trying to use it to at least stabilize the weather.

You know? My girlfriend, expert in make-up (i NEVER remember the word, sorry) used her eyelash curlers on me, (i don't remember either HOW she talked to me into... sight hope this don't lead to something else... more embarrassing...) the fact is i was curled' in one eye and normal in the other (then she menaces me to do certain thing or she let me go out like this)

Okay, the thing is i saw my reflection in the motel mirror and like it, and yeah, it make your eye (i said no, ha ha ha, take this, bitch) bigger, but unfortunately it does your eye seem too tidy and doesn't mach up whit my messy hair and my 'Harley Davidson's rider' beard... so i chose to continue to look like Kurt Cobain... that's all

BTW: I love this fic

PS: (chuckles)

Hrrrmmm... Decently written, but there's kind of a filler feel to all the traveling Nabiki is doing. The plot would flow better if you summarized past some of it.

A VERY wonderful story !

The way Nabiki search's for Ranma is very well done. Someone else (another reviewer, perhaps?) mentioned that this theme was done before, but yours is the first I've come across.

Very Good English and the flow of the story isn't difficult to read. I was gripped from the beginning till end. Then, when Nabiki gets clonkerd by our hero - I was in a daze! Reminds me of a TV drama. Very well done.

Your Epilogue rounds things up nicely too. I can understand why some would want a continuation of this, but I feel it should just stop here. A continuation means something other than the Mystery/Drama that encompassed this, and well, why spoil a good thing?

Don't get me wrong - I've read the next 2 chapters of the sequel and well, ... while a nice read, it just doesn't grip me as much as this did.

Still, thanks for giving us this wonderful story Turbanator!

Amazing story. Both well written and a great plot. I enjoyed it very much.

Wow...this story is amazing. I'm not really into Nabiki but you made her adventures really interesting that I couldn't stop reading! I really liked the little fluff between Lime and Nabiki...that's the first time I read about that pairing.

The characters were in character, from my point-of-view. I mean, sometimes when some authors make Ranma leave Nerima, he would always end up too out-of-character for my tastes but you just made it work!

I also loved the way you made this a detective story. Detective Nabiki is on the missing Ranma case! Haha!

It was very good. Your twist was great, and it really spiced up the end. Though I did have a major gripe. Whilst I can see why the whole 'travel-around-China' thing was necessary, it did seem to be no where near as interesting as the pure 'Nabiki hunting for Ranma plot.' I found myself skipping large chunks of it right up until Nabiki got back to Japan. Maybe it's just personal preference, but everything out of Japan just seemed like padding.

I agree, in some ways that she leaves without a curse is the most original thing. Still it could have been fun! I always thought she would get a snake curse. You know the old saying "Why don't snakes bite lawyers? Professional courtesy". I picture the "Ice Queen" as a snake. Hmm a what curse should a character get poll would be fun.
