More importantly, I am going to utilize Akama and Tenma to greater
effect.  Ranma IS NOT the heir to the SSoAGMA.  That's all I'm going
to say on that for now.  If you read Part 2, you'd have noticed
Ranma and Akama's reactions when Akane mentioned "China".  They are
clues as to what their pasts were like.  If you didn't catch it then,
or Akama's hostility to his late father...

You know you're frazzled when you mis-reference your own work.  Sorry.
When Nodoka mentions China in Part 1, and Akama's hostility to his
father in Part 2.
