Ranma 1/2 Nettouhen episode 12 "Ayoushi! Tendo doujou" "Danger at the Tendo Dojo!" They put the entire story with the doujou yaburi and Ranma and Shampoo's date for the nannichuan into one episode. At the end, the story seemed rushed a bit. Also, the ending is different from the manga. * * * * * * * * * * S P O I L E R S * * * * * * * * * * Akane and Ranma's fathers are yelling at Akane and Ranma because they were fighting in the doujou. They say that they have to be better friends because they are "iinazuke". Akane and Ranma both walk out on them. Kasumi yells for her father. A doujou yaburi had left them a note saying that he will come by on Saturday to fight for their "kanban", doujou sign. Akane and Ranma's fathers say that Akane and Ranma should fight together. But Akane and Ranma argue, saying that they can do it alone. The next day (Saturday), Ranma and Akane are in school. During gym class, Shampoo rides her bike through the wall and shows off her nannichuan mix. The nannichuan mix will turn ordinary water into the special nannichuan spring water, which will turn everything that drowns in it into a man. Shampoo uses a dog to demonstrate. Shampoo says that she will give Ranma the mix if he goes on a date with her, today at 2 pm in the park. Akane gets mad because today is the day when the doujou yaburi is supposed to come. On the way home from school, Ranma goes to meet Shampoo. Akane says that she can do it by herself. She tells her father not to help her out. During the date with Shampoo, Ranma tries to get the nannichuan mix. He keeps tricking Shampoo, but Shampoo always gives him the fake bag. On the date, they go to the movie theater and Shampoo tells Ranma that he can end the date if he kisses her. The doujou yaburi comes to the Tendo doujou. He says this will be the 1000th kanban. Akane starts to fight, but she is no match for him. Shampoo waits for Ranma's kiss with her eyes closed. Ranma steals the bag which was in Shampoo's hand. But it turns out to be fake again. Ranma and Shampoo ride the bike together. Ranma's father sees them heading for the Tendo doujou, so he pours water on them. Ranma turns into a girl and Shampoo turns into a cat. Ranma gets scared and goes crazy and rides the bike into the Tendo doujou. Just as Akane was going to get beat, Ranma-chan accidently saves her. Then Nabiki pours hot water on Ranma-chan, and Ranma says that he will fight to doujou yaburi. Ranma lands a lot of punches, but he cannot knock out the doujou yaburi. So, as the doujou yaburi has Ranma and Akane almost defeated, Ranma's father tells Ranma and Akane to get together and fight as one. They use the "gattai gekiryuu moushin" technique and defeat the doujou yaburi. Then Akane and Ranma start arguing again. Akane says that she could have beaten the doujou yaburi by herself. Then Shampoo comes in and says let's continue the date. Let's kiss again. Ranma says that he never kissed her, but Shampoo says that Ranma kissed her, and gives Ranma the nannichuan mix. Ranma and Ranma's father use the mix and turn back into men. They jump into the pond in the Tendo yard, but they don't turn into a girl and a panda. They stay in the pond as the Tendo's eat dinner. Then, when it rains, Ranma and his father turn back into a girl and a panda. This cheap, fake nannichuan mix only works once!
