A) 2a Akana's Cooking.
Okay i understand that its a show gimmick, hopelessly exaggerated even in the anime.
There was a grand total of one cooking competition between all four "fiancées" in the anime. Akane won. Ranma showed no signs of distress on eating her food.
Also, in the OAV with the "new" Tendo sisters, all of Akane's food was eaten, and apparently enjoyed, by the newcomers.
The people who complain about Akane's cooking are the ones who eat Kasumi's cooking. This indicates to me that Akane's cooking is "not as good as Kasumi's", not the "inedible" that fanon claims.
(Come to think of it, Akane's biggest problem is that she can't realize she's Akane, not Kasumi. Her trying to get the attention of Tofu-sensei, her desire to be graceful, her disappointment at her lack of cooking skills - they're all things that Kasumi has.)
Quote:Ranma's a jerk, yes, but the vileness of the people around him is just too much. Ranma is an obnoxious, loudmouth, arrogant jerk and he's one of the sanest person in the series.
He's also a manipulative, egotistical SOB.
Consider what happened when Shampoo wears the Reversal Jewel and declares she isn't interested in him. He'd been spending most of the series up to that point trying to get Shampoo to leave him alone; the sane response would be to say "finally!" and let her leave. But does he do that? No, he gets upset that one of the girls in his harem has blown him off, and immediately makes plans to get her back.
Despoite what fanon claims, Ranma enjoys being chased by all the girls.
Quote:You're forgetting, apparently, that the blow to the head with the table KNOCKED HIM UNCONSCIOUS.
No, it just stunned him. It's pretty easy to stun Ranma the first time anyone does something he wasn't expecting...
