I'm in the middle of episode 15 right after Akane plummels the "Ranma Dummy" and starts thinking about their engagement. Then a short flashback comes up of Ranma defending Akane saying "Akane is my fiance, you touch her and i'll kill you". I have not seen this scene in previous episodes...did i miss somthing? Please help ; ;

its strange that akane seems to be remembering something that didn't happened (yet) but this might be just a plot error, or this episode was supposed to air after all that Ice-skating themed episodes of season 2... since shampoo does not appear in these ice-skating episodes...

..or akane can see the future >.< lol

the flashback actually toke place earlier in the manga, and the story arc it was on was originally going to be released before the Shampoo arc. However the show was lagging in the ratings so they introduced shampoo earlier in an attempt to increase the ratings hence the weird continuity

I thought the same. So they messed up after all. Originally there was ice-skating tournament before Shampoo arived and this is where that happened.

Anyway, those multiple changes were marvelous!

I was confused about the flashback too. Then I remembered there are Ranma 1/2 movies that go along with the seasons. Im pretty sure that quote is from movie 1 Big trouble in Nekonron China.

Glad I was not the only one confused about that flashback, especially since I remember seeing that episodes some years ago and thought I had skipped something lol

Best girl enters the frame, I hope she can counter the constant annoyance that is Ryoga... Ranma not bailing on him after this episode is the weakest point of this show.

so... everyone was confused for that weird flashback.

Great episode, of course. Ranma training dummy was funny as hell, and Soun final speech about the madness arrived in his house along with the Saotomes was great too... he laughs but become depressed at the very end because he already realized that his house is going to be wrecked almost every episode and there are no students in his dojo able to pay him (seriosly, how can he find money for repairing everything?)

The new ED isn’t bad but I miss ED1. Should've stayed on more episodes.

Calling it now, Shampoo best girl.
Her design is like the mix of Lum and Oyuki and her character is similar to Lum. The way she calls Ranma is also a lot like Lum. I love this.

Boy the confusing continuity is going to bug me a lot.

Now the weird order of the blurays makes sense, and I’m glad I wasn’t the only one confused by that flashback scene. So that means they already had those episodes made but ended up releasing these ones earlier, and the reason was because Shampoo might increase the ratings of the show (if that one post in this thread is the truth), that’s cool to know and it makes me forgive Viz for changing the order, I just wish they would have included a pamphlet or something with the release showing the broadcast order and where they moved things so it’s more clear lol.

All that aside tho, I really am a fan of Shampoo, I agree with one of the posts above mine saying that she’s similar to Lum, you have a very similar dynamic here with Ranma resisting Shampoo’s unrequited love, and you also have the fact she wants to kill the female version of Ranna which adds an extra layer of fun. I also like that Shampoo is Chinese, I’ve actually seen a Chinese anime myself so I immediately recognized the language difference (Chinese and Japanese sound very different after all), not sure if her Chinese is good or not tho lol, it sounds good to me but I’m not someone that speaks the language to know how accurate it is. I also wonder what the significance behind her name being Shampoo is, it’s kinda funny because of what it means but it is a name that sticks with you, I like it but just curious lol.

And lastly that final scene of Ranma going back and forth between male and female as he was being chased by Shampoo was hilarious, that’s gotta feel really weird but I’m sure Ranma is used to it somewhat by now lol.
