    I don't see what you can possibly out of Shampoo/Ukyou's father that's
not already in the series.  You're not going to get someone stronger than
Cologne, and most of the stuff that can be tried has been attempted at some
point in the series.

    Well, I'm pretty sure in modern Japan you can't have a legally binding
contract regarding your children just because your parent agreed on
something, and clearly there's no written agreement of any kind, then Genma
would probably be arrested for theft, and Ranma would still be okay.  After
all he was a minor and didn't really participate in the stealing anyway.

    I think Nodoka keeps the weapon concealed.  At least it's not like
Kenshin which is just like "Hey I'm carrying a sword!  Look!"

    I'd find it hard to imagine it's not rated M.  I mean Parasite Eve was
rated M for 'suggestive sexual themes' or something along these lines.
