Hookay, let's try this

Where, just a moment before, had sat a powerful, 'male,=92  martial=20

  That seems a bit awkward a sentence.****

yep.

another figure.  A man, with spiky black hair, dressed in an orange gi.

  Gee, I wonder.****

hmmm, Hei trying out different colors for Kurama*_*?

    =93Not really.  Goku, that guy I=92m training with there, is

the=20

greatest fighter I=92ve ever met.  He could do almost anything; fly,=20
teleport, move objects with his ki, blow away mountains, you name it,

he=20

could do it.=94  <Not to mention the fact that he=92s the most skilled

an=

d=20
powerful fighter in that universe.>  Ranma thought to himself.

=93He=20

taught me Kamesennin, and Kaiohken style martial arts.=94

  I sense an overblown hero in our midst. If Ranma's this powerful,
everyone else should be as well-- they won't take a strong enemy lying
down. None of them.****

nah, they'll just get knocked down.

Genma signed.  [Never heard of them.]
    =93Not surprising, considering the only practitioners of those

arts=20

live in another dimension.=94  Ranma said.

  Why is this 'other dimenion' stuff so funny?****

Well, considering how the N. American dubs kill characters by sending them
to the "next dimension......

    =93Mr. Tendo, since your youngest daughter would prefer not to

be=20

engaged to me, and I would rather not get married to a stranger, why=20
don=92t we forget about the marriage.  At least until such time as

your=20

daughters and I get to know each other well enough.  Then, whichever

of=20

your elder daughters agrees to marry me, will become my wife.=94

  Ranma the sage. Whoo hoo.****

Seems like common sense to me (Ranma notwithstanding).

could do is scratch me.>  He shook his head.  <There=92ll be time to=20
figure this out later.  Now I need to scout out the competition.>

  Whoo hoo, now he's looking for a fight. NOW he'll get it.****

uhh, sure.

Ranma walked over to his backpack, and pulled out a strange device

with=20

an eye piece.  He fitted it on his head, and pressed a few buttons

on=20

the side.
    =93Okay, have the scouter perform a planet wide power-level scan

  I'll pretend to understand.****

Well, scouters are devices in DBZ which are use to measure and find power
levels.....

. Hmm.  This is interesting.  Only four people on the planet have=20
anything close to my power level, and except for one of those,

they=92re=20

all in the same general area, over in China.  In fact, near Jusenkyo!

  That's it, Ranma's a Saiyan.

    =93What 'is=92 it about that place?=94  Ranma muttered to himself.

=

=93If=20
that thing wasn=92t the only cure for itself, I would blow the place

into=

=20
the next dimension!=94  And with that said, Ranma put away the

scouter,=20

and went to sleep.

  Ranma = Vejita.****

Scary.

    Ranma shook his head.  =93No.  The clothing is of a special

syntheti=

c=20
which repels blood, dirt, oils, etc.  It also resists wear and

  Watch it Kasumi, you're dealing with a god.****

I guess clothes make the god...

    =93Oh.  Upperclassman Kuno.  Good morning.=94  Akane said, in a

bore=

d=20
voice.

  Wow, Akane's being POLITE to Kuno.****

Like how he was introduced it TOS.

    =93You=92ve got be more careful, Akane.  If this guy had tried to

us=

e=20
this thing to poison you, you would have been wide open.=94  He

said,=20

tossing the rose to the ground.  Akane glared at him.

  "Watch out, that box of chocolates might be alive!"

    =93I believe you.  However, the two of you are close enough in

power=

=20
levels that a fight between you would be one dependent on pure

skill,=20

and concentration, something you need more of.=94  He retorted.

  Here the overconfidence is showing again. Whoop him, Kuno!!!****

He's former DBZ, And he's Ranma. Overconfidence is in abundance.

    =93Hmm, I wouldn=92t have thought that such a weak fighter like

you=20

could have pulled off a technique like that.=94  Ranma said, looking

at=20

the hole he cut into the concrete.

  I expect that Kuno may become much stronger yet. Otherwise, the story
would be incredibly boring.****

Not really. In Kuno's case, anyway.

    Kuno swung at Ranma again, but this time, Ranma merely caught

the=20

blow in his hand, and held on.  Kuno tried to pull the bokken out of

his=20

hand, but it was like the thing was caught in cement.  Everyone just=20
stared at the pair of them.

  Kick him in the nads! Kick him!****

Too much Bevis and Butt-head, maybe???

    =93Mr. Kuno, if you ever attack Ms. Tendo, or myself again, I=92m

go=

ing=20
to take your toy away.=94  Ranma let go of the weapon.  =93Now get.=94

H=

  "Bond. James Bond."

turned to Nabiki, and presented his arm.  =93Shall we go?=94  Nabiki

took=

=20
the offered arm, and the two walked into the school, leaving Kuno in

his=20

place.  Seconds later the heavens opened and rain poured on the Blue=20
Thunder.

  God is crying because Ranma's a jerk.

  In general, I find nothing to like about this Ranma. He's become so
overblown and overconfident... but those in turn could easily lead to
his downfall. Add to the fact that everyone else in the series is
unchanged-- I assume those 'four' high powerlevels are Cologne, Herb,
Taro, and Saffron-- but then, if one of them is in Japan, perhaps one is
Ryoga (but even then he'd still be a wimp compared to this Ranma).
  Despite being only four people that could actually challenge this
Ranma, his other enemies should become as strong (or MUCH more powerful)
as well-- especially Kuno (I'd suspect that after such an insult that
he'd try to show up Ranma somehow-- by humiliating him in turn. Simply
defeating him doesn't look like a viable option).
  Anyway, I look forward to a proper Ranma-thrashing. I just don't like
him.*****

    That's too bad, he's a great character. But I must agree to earlier
statments. Since the only one's who can match Ranma are Cologne, Herb,
HAPPOSAI, and Saffron, you may want to find a way to make exsisting
rival's stronger, or create new rivals that are able to hide their power.
I would like to see how you would make these characters powerful, and pit
them against Ranma.
