Ranma ½ Random Ideas Thread #596448255

[Lord Raa]

"New" and terrible idea time.

I'll leave you with this nonsense:

Ranma Saotome was not happy about the havoc Pantyhose Taro was causing as he chased the troublesome Happousai around the Tendo home. It wasnÆt that he thought that the old man was being victimised by the angry Chinese youth, nor was it that he considered Happousai to be the one instigating things.

It was the fact that they were running around, making lots of noise and making a mess.

Casually, Ranma stuck out a leg and tripped up the diminutive pervert, allowing Pantyhose Taro to catch up.

ôThanks, Fem-boy,ö Taro said as he opened up the barrel of Jusenkyo water he was carrying. ôThis should make him do the right thing.ö

Happousai didnÆt like the idea of being cursed to become a ævirtuous manÆ. It would cramp his fun-loving style. Speaking of fun, he wanted to get up close and personal with RanmaÆs lovely breasts.

The old man lashed out and knocked the wooden vessel out of TaroÆs hands, hoping to avoid getting any on him.

Unfortunately, Ranma, as seemed to be the story of his time in Nerima, was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The water had landed on Ranma; or rather, it had landed on his crotch.

ôStupid jerks,ö he muttered angrily, bracing himself for the inevitable molestation.

ôMy cunning planàö Taro trailed off as the last of the cursed water drained away.

ôHa-ha,ö Happousai gloated. ôNow, Ranma-chan, where are those lovely fun-bags of yours?ö

The pigtailed youth looked down and saw that he was still a man. ôWhat theà Wait, am I cured?ö

ôWhat? No! I need those comforting chesticles!ö the perverted old man complained. ôWho are you to take away my pleasures in life?ö

ôShut up, you old goat,ö Ranma said, grinding his fist into the top of the old manÆs head. ôLooks like IÆm cured, thanks, Taro. DonÆt let the door hit you on the way out.ö

ôButàö the Chinese martial artist was desolated by the turn of events.

It wasnÆt easy getting a proper answer out of the Jusenkyo Guide as to which spring he wanted, not to mention the journey from China to Japan.

And now it seemed that it was all for nought.

At least he could work out some stress by trying to persuade Happousai to change his name the old fashioned, physical way.

ôOutside, now.ö

ôWhat? Help me Ranma! You canÆt abandon your master like this!ö the shrivelled pervert whined.

ôSmell you later, old man,ö the pigtailed Saotome said dismissively as he left to change out of his wet clothes.

I'm sure that some of you might have gotten an idea where this might be going. I'm pondering various ideas for it myself.

Apart from a potential lemon story I don't see what you can do with this.

Isn't that enough, given the lack of decent Ranma lemons these days?

Yes it is. At Least ST Fan is posting lemons again at anime addventure.

Crossover with Carnival Phantasm:

Ukyou runs into Arcueid during the "Arcueid tries to cook for Tohno" episode. During their conversation, the professional Okonomiyaki chef comes to the conclusion that she cannot allow the abomination that the True Ancestor is planning to call okonomiyaki to come to be, and tries to teach the vampire how to do it properly.

That FMP idea I had:

ôKurz, how did you pass your CQC certification?ö Melissa Mao asked, shaking her head at the blonde man resting in his bunk.

While Kurz Weber had managed to avoid being seriously injured during GauronÆs attack, there were still some issues to be addressed.

ôHey, IÆm a sniper,ö the blonde shrugged. ôThe idea is for me to stay back providing covering fire.ö

ôThat may be the case, Kurz, but you should still brush up on your hand to hand skills,ö Mao countered. ôAnd I know just the person to help you with your training.ö

Weber didnÆt like the look on the womanÆs face.

ôSergeant Weber, IÆm ordering you to report for advanced combat training as soon as the doctor says youÆre fit for duty.ö

Elsewhere at the Mithril base, Sousuke Sagara was looking a little lost in his thoughts now that Kaname Chidori had returned to Tokyo. While fishing had taken his mind off recent events, he had found that he was in the mood to continue as much as he had originally thought.

Continuing to walk around the compound, he found himself approaching a group of mercenaries listening to a lecture from a young man.

ôNow, I know that youÆre probably thinking. æWhat can this kid possibly know about fighting?Æ Well,ö the young man smiled, ôIÆve been training in martial arts since I could walk.ö

ôMartial arts? What? Like judo? What good is that going to do us on the battlefield?ö a burly soldier asked.

ôYeah,ö another man agreed. ôBesides, youÆre still a kid.ö

ôJudoÆs only good for wrinkling someoneÆs shirt,ö the instructor replied. ôNo, what youÆre going to learn today is just how little you know about hand to hand fighting. You two, since you think you know better, you can put me in my place.ö

ôWhat? Both of us at the same time?ö

ôIf you can co-ordinate your attacks, yes. Knives too, if youÆve got them.ö

The two soldiers looked at each other and smirked. This was going to be easy.

As the first dissenter jumped to his feet and fell into a tight stance, the second rose to his feet and pulled out a KA-BAR with his right hand.

The unarmed man launched towards the instructor, quickly followed by the man with the combat knife.

In the blink of an eye, the two soldiers were in an untidy heap.

Sousuke looked closely at the instructor. Dark hair, Japanese features, but blue eyes. Where had he seen someone like that before?

ôNow,ö the instructor smirked as he cleaned his finger nails with the point of the KA-BAR, ôdo I have your attention?ö

ôThat smirk looks familiaràö

ôYou there, at the back. Speak up or shut up,ö the instructor said, his good humour fading. ôWait, you look familiar, who are you?ö

ôSergeant Sousuke Sagara,ö the mercenary said, snapping to attention.

ôSousuke? Is that you? ItÆs me, Ranma. You know, Ranma Saotome. Are you here to join my class?ö

ôNo,ö Sousuke replied.

ôI was going to say, I thought you were pretty good at CQC. Not as good as me, but hey, who is?ö Ranma asked with a smile returning to his face. He turned his attention to his class. ôRight then, everyone to their feet and letÆs see what IÆm working with here.

ôWarm up for two minutes then I want to see all of you doing handstands.ö

ôHandstands?ö the soldiers asked, not sure what was going on.

ôYes, handstands. If you guys canÆt balance properly, then youÆre not going to be able to do things like this.ö

Ranma jumped onto a three metre tall post that supported some cargo netting. ôNow, get warming up.ö

Hopping off the wooden post, the instructor approached his old friend. ôSo, Sousuke, what have they got you doing here?ö

ôIÆve been on assignment in Tokyo,ö Sousuke answered.

ôTokyo? Nice, havenÆt been there for a while. Nothing too dangerous, I hope.ö

ôIt has its ups and downs.ö

ôSounds like you might have found a girlàö Ranma teased. ôBut weÆll have to catch up properly later, IÆve got to whip these jokers into shape.ö

ôI look forward to it,ö Sousuke smiled before returning to his quarters.

The instructor turned to look at the way his students were struggling to remain still as they stood on their hands. ôLooks like weÆve got a lot of work to do if you want to reach my levelàö

Main issue... Ranma could not even remember Ryoga... why would he remember Sousuke?

 

[Master of Squirrel-Fu]

Main issue... Ranma could not even remember Ryoga... why would he remember Sousuke?

Ranma remembered Ryouga, hell he remembered Ukyo so well that his flashbacks had noticeable sound effects.

 

[Lord Raa]

Main issue... Ranma could not even remember Ryoga... why would he remember Sousuke?

Which of the two would you rather be friends with?

Besides, in this story (albeit not yet correctly formulated and written), Sousuke and Ranma were brothers in arms in Helmajistan.


Plus they may have had more contact over the years. 9

 

[Lord Raa]

Have another couple of scenes to determine if this idea is worth working on.


@@@@@


Kurz Weber had just finished talking with a Mithril drinking buddy and he wasnÆt quite sure what to make of the story heÆd been told.

While it was true that there were many people who were skilled at martial arts and that there were those who could score perfect tens at gymnastics, the odds of one person having these same skills was remote.

Add in that they were an instructor at Mithril, and it seemed far-fetched.

After all, what kind of person could jump three metres in the air from a standing start? Or take on a section of battle-hardened soldiers bare-handed and without breaking a sweat?

No, people like that were only found in fiction.

Shaking his head, Kurz turned to see Mao smiling at him.

ôOh, and what can I do for you, Sergeant Mao?ö he asked, turning on the charm.

ôReport to the obstacle course in five minutes, Weber, itÆs time for your new CQC training.ö

ôOh, that,ö the blonde said, deflated.

ôI canÆt have you being unable to handle yourself in CQC. For better or worse, the Captain agrees with me,ö Mao explained.

ôAlright, IÆve had grizzled old men shout at me to motivate me in running long distances before, I can do it again.ö

Mao nodded. ôI hear the new instructor is unorthodox but very effective.ö

ôWait,ö Kurz said, freezing in position. ôNew instructor? There are weird stories flying around about him.ö

ôYes, IÆm curious about him myself. I think I might accompany you to your training.ö


@@@@@


A few minutes later, the two Urzu team members arrived at the obstacle course to see half a dozen men limping away.

ôWhat happened to you guys?ö Kurz asked.

ôNewàInstructoràö one gasped.

ôBut you guys look like you were put through the wringer!ö the sniper protested. ôYou guys are Special Forces.ö

ôNot humanàö another wheezed.

ôQuit belly-aching, you big babies, I was doing this before I was ten,ö a young manÆs voice called out, chiding the soldiers. ôOr do I have to go harder on you tomorrow?ö

ôN-no,ö the exhausted men said, jumping to attention.

ôGood, now run along. WeÆll continue where we left off tomorrow.ö

As the six men marched off to the infirmary as best they could, Kurz and Mao looked for their tormentor. Both of them had expected to see a man the size of a bear, scars from countless missions covering his body and a thousand yard stare that could melt metal.

What they saw nearly caused them to burst out laughing.

ôCan I help you two?ö the young man asked.

ôWeÆre looking for the new CQC instructor, Sergeant Saotome,ö Kurz answered.

The young man checked his rank insignia and name tag. ôI guess that would be me, Sergeant Saotome, what can I do for you?ö

ôIÆm Sergeant-Major Mao and this is Sergeant Weber, I believe youÆre expecting him as a student.ö

ôAh yes, I remember that. Apparently, Sergeant Weber got his ass handed to him in a knife fight,ö Sergeant Saotome nodded in understanding.

ôHey!ö Kurz protested.

ôThen come at me, teach me a lesson.ö

Three seconds later, the instructor had placed a boot on the neck of prone sniper. ôNow I see what the orders meant; he sucks.ö

Kurz mumbled something unintelligible into the ground.

ôYeah, yeah, IÆm sure that you would have taken me out at 1000 metres if you had your favourite rifle,ö Saotome said, rolling his eyes. ôNow then, how best to turn you from a remedial student into something resembling a fighter?ö

ôYou going to make him train under waterfalls and wrestle bears?ö Mao asked, jokingly.

ôPlease, he isnÆt fit to wrestle bear crap, let alone an actual bear. No, I think weÆre going to have start from the very beginning. How long have I got with him?ö

ôThree weeks.ö

The instructor winced. ôThatÆs barely enough time to get him ready to take on three armed men at once. Still, if we donÆt need him to take on armoured vehicles, I suppose I can skip the mental conditioning.ö

ôWhat kind of training takes three weeks to get you in a position to take on three armed men?ö Mao asked, morbidly curious.

ôThe kind that means if I had six weeks, he could kill five men with a banana. YouÆre welcome to join in if you like.ö

ôYes, you should train Mao, too!ö Kurz said with a mouthful of grass.

The instructor nodded and allowed the blonde to get up off the ground. ôOk. Mao, get ready, weÆre going for a 10K run. I realise that youÆre probably not able to go the same pace as me, so weÆll take this easy. Half an hour is your target time with one hundred extra pull ups for every second over.ö

ôHalf an hour? ThatÆsà thatÆs doable.ö

ôIÆm glad you think so. Now, stretch for a couple of minutes and weÆll start. By the way, my nameÆs Ranma.ö

ôWhy are you telling us your first name?ö

ôSo you know who to curse.ö


@@@@@


31 minutes later, and Ranma smiled proudly at his students. ôWell done, you managed to get in before the thirty minute deadline. As a reward, two minutes rest.ö

ôW-what kind of reward is that?ö Kurz panted.

ôWhat, did you expect me to hand out beers to help you celebrate running ten kilometres in less than half an hour?ö Ranma demanded. ôWhat good would that do? If I coddle you, youÆre just going to remain soft. Tomorrow, you run with a full kit load out. Same time limit applies.ö

ôBut thatÆs nearly 40kg! And why arenÆt you out of breath?ö

ôI didnÆt realise I was training a little girl. And IÆm not out of breath because IÆm not weak and soft like you; 10K is nothing. I only chose that distance because I needed to quickly know how much stamina you have.ö

ôD-damn you, Ranma!ö the sniper cursed.

ôThatÆs the spirit!ö

[Dumbledork]

I get a 'Full Metal Jacket' vibe here :rofl:

 

[Cynical Kyle]

Have another couple of scenes to determine if this idea is worth working on.
-snip-

I like it and would like to see more. Gauron is in for a nasty surprise when the hijack attempt from prison happens, provided that things won't be derailed into entirely different direction.

 

[PCHeintz72]

This explains Sagara's training of the rugby team. mimicing Ranma training tactics...

 

[Prince Charon]

It amuses me.

 

[Lord Raa]

Hmm...

Make of this what you will.

@@@@@


Having completed the first training session, Kurz Weber was not terribly impressed with the chipper smugness that his new instructor was exuding and was voicing this opinion to his Urzu teammates.

ôThe manÆs not human!ö

ôYouÆre just bitter because he showed you up earlier,ö Mao smirked. She turned to face Sousuke. ôHe had Kurz attack him and every time, it was like trying to catch steam.ö

ôRanma is highly skilled,ö the scarred youth nodded. ôI have seen him take on many opponents, all of them much bigger than he is, and walk away with barely a scratch.ö

ôWait, you know Ranma?ö Kurz asked.

ôWeÆve known each other for a long time,ö Sousuke replied. ôHe taught me a few techniques during our time in Helmajistan.ö

ôNow, thatÆs a story I want to hear,ö Mao leaned in intently.

ôWell, it began a long time ago, in the mountains of Helmajistanàö

[Lord Raa]

Had another terrible thought about this latest idea.

I could combine it with Tactical Retreat.

Thoughts?

I mean, other than meaning that I don't have to find a title.

 

[FinalMax]

That could work fairly well. The scenes you already made feel like they'd naturally mesh with it, so there's that going for it. Also, it provides a character who won't jump to the conclusions as everyone else in Tactical Retreat nor would Ranma add to Sousuke's confusion.

 

[Dumbledork]

Here's a funny idea.

A Ranma/ZnT/WoW crossover.

Louise (also called the Zero by her peers) is a young warlock who has earned the right to summon her first pet (I know that warlocks have the Imp right at the beginning, but this is Louise we're taliing about).

Unfortunately she'll go into history as the very first warlock who fails in that simple task. Instead of an Imp she gets a very surprised Ranma who is not all happy with the turn of events.

Louise has to fight Ranma for the right to control him, and she miraculously manages to do that (I'm sure it's possible to come up with a ridiculous reason for this.)

Ranma doesn't have a choice but to accept Louise as his master.

The most interesting thing is that Ranma can't really die. Whenever he's killed or unsummoned he returns to Nerima until he is summoned once again.

Lot of funny potential with the Tendos asking where the blood comes from and Nabiki asking Ranma to bring back treasures the next time (whatever Ranma has on him when he's unsummoned he can take back to Nerima with him)

[Dumbledork]

Awwww! Why not? It's not worse than most of your ideas -_-

 

[Lord Raa]

Awwww! Why not? It's not worse than most of your ideas -_-

One of Ranma's defining characteristics is his egotism.

I do not see why he would accept someone as his master, let alone someone like Louise.

He tolerates Akane because of the engagement, the fact that he's grown close to her during his time in Nerima and because of the attention of having so many girls interested in him.

Why should he tolerate Louise?

 

[nuclear death frog]

The suckage level of that idea easily rivals any black hole.

 

[Dumbledork]

He won't tolerate it, but wheenver he tries to resist there are consequences.

 

[Lord Raa]

He won't tolerate it, but wheenver he tries to resist there are consequences.

So... You're saying that the comedy comes from the fact that Ranma is subjected to slavery?

You know, one of human history's greatest injustices?
