Hey....I liked him. I thought he was cool. I always wondered what the
back of his shirt said, tho...I think old Shinnosuke is A LOT less
arrogant than Ranma, and, if in a different situation, Akane might
have gone for Shinnosuke first... but she had already fallen in love
with Ranma at this point....
