Tought I'd wait until the latest installment before posting this.There was some speculation that Nodoka didn't know she gave birth to a girl. However, I feel that she did. Why? Because her name is RANKO. If she was brought up as a boy and no one other than Genma knew she was a girl than why should she have two names, Ranma and Ranko, instead of just Ranma? What's the need? If not even her mother knew and her father raised her as a boy, then who would call her Ranko?
I feel that Nodoka knew and tolerated Genma raising their daughter as a boy, even letting him call her Ranma. But how would she react if she knew what had happened to her daughter?
