Synopsis
Soun Tendou runs the Tendou Martial Arts School accompanied by his three daughters: Akane, Nabiki, and Kasumi. One day, the sisters' lives are turned upside down when their father announces that he has promised one of them to be married to a fellow martial artist's son in hopes of carrying on the family legacy. In addition to their mixed reactions, when the fiancé arrives, the last thing the Tendou family expects is Ranma Saotome and his father, Genma.
Ranma has been training in China with his father until an unfortunate accident changed them both. Now, when water touches them, Ranma turns into a girl and Genma into a giant panda. Ranma ½ follows Ranma as he attempts to get along with his newly betrothed, the youngest of the Tendou sisters, Akane. As the two begin to attend the same school, they deal with fellow friends and rivals, all of whom have something to say about their engagement. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Considering Rem murderized Subaru without justification, I don’t think you should have a problem with abuse.

Yeah Kuno was horrible. But Happosai appeared in so many more episodes that he's a bigger problem. Half of the principal's appearances are in his introduction arc, after that he just appears 2-3 times every season, whereas Happosai is a constant presence while adding nothing new.
