It depends whether you consider the "real" Ranma to be the
combined Ranma-Genma entity, or the mentally deficient
'original' Ranma. I took the latter viewpoint, but I can
understand that if you take the former, as you seem to have,
Ranma would be more culpable.
Anyways, can I have my half of the hair? :)
However, if Genma really was in control of Ranma's actions,
somehow I doubt Ranma would have had nearly so much trouble
getting close to Akane...and very possibly Ukyo, Shampoo,
Kodachi...
Trying to rush things with Akane would have been most counter-
productive.
There's also something missing from the story. What was
the source of Ranma's unnatural allure? Surely not Genma's
personality...
Well, he did somehow manage to snag Nodoka -- who is still
quite attractive at forty-something. :)
