abuseI had previously considered that he sort of did thought this unconsciously

that he could end some problems if he felt like it but was subconsciously scared of change or something. but this is both awesome and scarily plausible.

abuseChapter 1

"That's why I'm happy, Ryouga! The fights are never gonna end!"
[That’s...extremely creepy, but despite the fact that it isn’t something canon Ranma has ever portrayed it also doesn’t really seem out-of-character.]

but that would have ended all the fights that get started thanks to my girl side. I couldn't have that, could I?"
[There is a strange, indisputable Ranmalogic to that.]

Chapter 2

None of my other foes have been able to match me for power over and over again,"
[True, and in that same creepy inescapable logic.]

Good enough. It's not like pigs are picky eaters.
[How ironic to be coming from Ryouga.]

I knew that in admitting that defeat, I'd finally won.
[How fitting an end.]

I'd like to clarify something: I do believe that Saffron qualifies as a god, but I typically ascribe the sort of traits you get with Norse, Roman, and Greek gods with the Ranmaverse Japanese and Chinese gods.
[This is the problem of translation: ‘kami’ (Japanese) doesn’t translate straight to ‘god’ (English, lower-caps intentional). The issue comes that many words can’t really be translated due to an insurmountable gap in culture and mythology, all of which I’ve studied for years, and properly speaking youkai (and to some extent kami) doesn’t even compare very well to the Norse, Greco-Roman, or Egyptian pantheon of gods.]

Primary response: That was eerie. Very well done, in all respects. The characters (except Ranma, who seemed necessarily different) all seemed true to form, and even Ranma’s difference wasn’t out of the realm of believability.

God bless and happy writing,
Ganheim

abuseI was afraid ranma would take some drastic methods, to make sure Ryouga attacked him.

abuseA nice, short read.. but I'm kinda tossing up whether ya should've just had let it be after the first chapter. The second chapter's good, but I dunno; to me, it just feels like the story was diminished. Still, a good job, I like your stories.

abuseWow, that was pretty good, and makes sense. The only thing's I have to argue about are the use of the Umi-senken, and the Saffron thing

The Umi-senken is sealed, and therefore cannot be unsealed without Genma's permission. That is of course, if Ranma still conciders his honor to be very important. If he threw his honor away, then I could see this happening.

And with Saffron...he is at most, a demi-god, and is only considered a god due to his reincarnation feat. He is not immortal. He is just reborn. But your opinion is yours, so go with that.

Sorry to be fussing about some stuff, but I have to give you mad props for this excellent story. The theory is very possible. So, great job, and good luck on whatever else you may have planned.

abuseI hate to say this but you could even expaande this fic even more. Conserdering how Ranma going to take that he doesn't have any one to fight with.

But I really enjoyed that Ranma was in fact the problems in Ryoga life.

abuseThat's totally OOC for Ryoga, but still an interesting spin on the dynamics of the Nerima Crew, great work!

abuseWell, that was certainly different.

I can certainly see the motivations being somewhat true to the characters but the lengths Ranma goes to in chapter 1 seems ooc. Long-term planning just isn't his thing.

abuseGeeze, the obvious solution.

If Ranma REALLY wanted Ryouga to relentlessly come after him, he would simply orchestrate Akari's death. Even less would be fine; simply bringing his whirlwind life down and wreaking her farm would do it.

Ranma is a better person than Ryouga's giving him credit for. On the other hand, Ryouga has learned a truth of the martial arts that Ranma doesn't need.

Anyway, that was a really good job. Here's to you.
