I always assumed that when you fell into the spring,  you took the body of
whoever or whatever had drowned in the spring. But after reading the
Nodoka storyline arc last night, I gues it's not true. If you notice,
Nabiki points out that female Ranma looks just like his mother, so it's
probably more of a genetic switch - like still genetically Ranma only
female. It must be the same with all the characters. I mean, if you think
about it, why wouldn't Ranma come out of the Spring as a Chinese girl
instead of Japanese, since they wer in China?
