Ranma ? by Rumiko Takahashi who we all either love or hate, but still keep on reading her works.
Maybe biased feel free to correct me or post accurate info.
Ranma Saotome Info Part 1
Male and Female versions of Ranma
Personality
Rumiko Takahashi describes Ranma's personality as a mixture of "nice, clean-cut, frank, energetic, indecisive, stubborn, picky, stingy and sly." and she's right on all accounts.
Ranma normally is pretty carefree and generally friendly to anyone who isn't trying to kill/humiliate him anything of the day. Him along with several of the martial artists in the series share the view that its their duty to protect the weak from various threats monsters, spirits, other martial artists or a combination of the three through out the course of the manga.
Ranma is really dense about various other situations other martial arts. Like feelings, social situations, his standard foot in the mouth situations, and doesn't think about the consequences of his actions. He does however noticeably improve over the course of the manga.
Regarding his Jusenkyo curse, Ranma absolutely hates it and will go to any lengths to get a cure. Ranma however will use it to nearly any degree to get what he wants or help him win a fight like Herb, posing for shots against Happosai etc.
Ranma's opponents other than Happosai who he truly hates (will take any chance to harm or kill the pervert), is generally very forgiving despite the multiple killing attempts from his rivals and sometimes fiancees. At the end of the manga Ranma is on good terms with all his rivals, the exception of course is Happosai.
He is very blunt when it comes people to either gloating over his skills, telling off people about their flaws/weaknesses; Often uses insults to address others but this is rather common in the manga. Regularly disregards authority if their incompetent, stupid, or suspicious.
If Ranma is engaged in a fight with a girl depending who they are or what skill/threat level their at will either dodge/avoid them till they give up or Ranma will end the fight quickly as possible with less pain as possible. He will go to any lengths to protect all his fiancees despite the shit they do to him on a regular basis.
General Fanon with Ranma
May it burn, BURN IN THE HOLY FLAMES NAME OF THE EMPEROR!!!!!!!!!!!! Along with Ranma-chan
1.Ranma has never said or believe "I don't hit girls" or "Girls are weak"
2.Ranma is damn smart and though he has crude speech it isn't the damn hick talk that infests most fan fictions. I mean he skips school and classes regularly and hasn't been expelled yet that either shows Ranma is getting high grades or his school just plain sucks ass
3.Ranma really doesn't give a rat ass about honor unless it involves his mother, Only reason he puts up with the fiancee BS is because if he chooses one, hes hurting the others which he doesn't want.
4.In fights Ranma will use anything and everything to his advantage like some Jackie Chan films to win, He isn't the most honorable fighter in the series by a long shot.
5.Ranma does use weapons its good part of his damn school and will use them if the situation requires them.
6.Ranma will kill if the situation is desperate enough to require it. He won't mope and bitch about it after the deed is done. Its basically do the deed and don't look back.
7.Nabiki isn't the most manipulative member of the Ranma cast contrary to popular belief, Ranma is given his stunts to win fights or get back at others.
8. Ranma can lie well, deception is huge part of his school though, just look at the Nodoka arc with Ranko and Mister Panda, or pretending to be Ryoga's sister.
9. Ranma is really secretive, He will go very great lengths to hide his curse, skills, fears, weaknesses. Ranma will rarely give out his life story.
10. Despite his martial arts genius Ranma can't instantly copy and use techniques he's just seen in the middle of battle like an Uchiha. He can however with practice and time perfect and modify techniques he's seen after the fight like the ShiShi Hkdan and the Hiry Shten Ha.
Weakness/Fears
1. Easily embarrassed
2. Women in general
3. Cats (Not as bad as Fanon is lead to believe)
4. What I believe is his greatest fear is being defeated and can't do anything about it. Given his ego, skills, abilities; One setback alone is enough for him to be obsessed with winning the next fight.
Martial Arts
Ranma is a practitioner and heir of the <a href='http://ranma.wikia.com/wiki/Anything_Goes_Martial_Arts' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Saotome Anything Goes Style</a> (Link to the Ranma wiki for more specific info).
Ranma is generally considered real prodigy or fighting genius in the Ranma verse given his use of tactics. Ranma during his 13-14 year training trip with Genma mastered several known and unknown schools of martial arts. Ranma during fights is going to adapt to counter his opponents style/moves and at the same time going to modify or create new techniques based on his existing skills to win. (See fights with Ryu Kumon, Saffron, Herb).
Ranma's techniques are
Mko Takabisha: A Ki blast with enough power to blow up a building. Charged up for greater destruction capabilities. Not used that often though....
Hiryu Shoten Ha: Ranma's signature technique it involves creating cold spiral while luring your opponent using either Heat from emotions, Lust, actual fire etc; to launch your enemy into a spiraling tornado. The stronger your opponent the more damage it does, technically infinite in power, weak vs fliers though.
Umi Sen Ken: Essentially invisibility through hiding from your opponents senses. Weak to AOE attacks, Heat vision, Cameras, and useless if you make any sort of sound at all.
Strength/Speed/Durability/Reaction Feats
Speed/Reaction
Ranma is likely the 4th fastest character in the series after Happosai, Cologne, and Mint.
Against Tatewaki Kuno.
Manages to dodge all those strikes, gets distracted by Akane, Kuno attacks but gets knocked out mid strike by Ranma from the floor hitting him in the face, chest and groin multiple times.
Mikado Sanzenin
Ranma manages a KO by hitting Mikado 518 times during those few seconds while dodging at the same time.
This is before Cologne's speed training, Parlay du Foie Gras (If it counts as speed training), and the Umisenken feats. At this point Ranma is likely super sonic in combat speeds with his speed and reaction times.
Kach Tenshin Amaguriken Speed Feats
With Amaguriken speeds Ranma is able to at the same time catch the flying shrapnel from Ryoga's Breaking Point technique and pelt him at the same time. Then Akane and Cologne who each could easily follow Ranma's earlier speed feats had trouble seeing Ranma's Hundreds of punches a second.
Parlay du Foie Gras
Yaaaaaaa Ranma is flinging food fast enough that its basically invisible to Akane, Soun, Genma and the rest of the Audience.
Umisenken Speed Feats
Part 2 is coming up soon with the rest of his feats and his Martial art techniques.
