Heh - y'think? :p
     

<chuckle>  I'm just waiting to see what Ranma does when the Emperor
tells him the Tendo "situation" has been "handled".  And when he
finds out exactly how it was "handled"...
   

   Actually, as canny as the emeror appears to be, it would surprise me
greatly if he did not have any observers report back to him before he made any
such statements. He should be well of the fact that plans are all well and
good, but with a situation like this, knowing how things went before talking
about them would be highly important in my opinion, particularly in light of
the voltility of the individuals involved.

 

Volitility is right.

It strikes me that he is trying to make some villians. Ranma has been set up
as a hero, so she needs some villians to oppose her. Given how Akane acts
about perverts, there's only two ways she'll respond to the incident: she'll
become catatonic, or snap the guy's neck the moment her hands are free.
In any case, neither Akane nor Nabiki deserved the treatment they got.
This will put a rift between them and the good-guys. No "apology" of
ANY sort will be sufficient to appease the dishonor done over virtually
nothing. When they find out Ranma is still alive, they WILL blame her for
what happened. They will become sworn enemies dedicated to seeing her
humiliated worse than what happened to them.

It'll start with Nabiki and Akane hunting down and killing every officer
remotely related to the "arrest". Then they'll discover Ranma is alive and
assume she was responsible. Instant opposition.
