| Ranma in a nutshell. He/she is treated like a goof but I do like their determination this episode. They actually took this to national TV so Ranma would have to compete on a grand stage. One of the most tense and entertaining competition I've seen out of this season. Kodachi is entertaining to watch too imo. |
 |
| The showdown between Kodachi and Ranma is finally here and it was one hell of a competition between them. Kodachi is the master of playing dirty and she doesn't hesitate to even use her biological brother. She just chucked him into the fight like it was nothing. LOL. Ranma fought hard and with a few assists from Ranma's dad and Akane, his and Ryoga's identities are safe for another day. Ranma did win but as expected Kodachi is not going to back away from her love for Saotome Ranma. The audience making the excuses for the similar names was funny. Great episode. |
 |
| Absolutely loved Kodachi & Ranma's elegant fight! Excited to see the upcoming episodes!! |
| this rule 63 show is still good ranma is sexy hot on this |
| Seeing that ring gave me flashbacks to the Tyson fight from earlier today😵💫 Very fun episode though, the announcer carried hard xD |
 |
| "She was actually handling dozens of clubs at once!" Pause And lmao "Biological brother, allowed!" This was a crazy fun match. If she doesn't fight for you like Kodachi, she ain't the right one. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| woo :O Mappa animation is working clap clap it's not like I don't know what's going to happen next..ahahahaa |
| Good to see this finally back over an 8 where it belongs! Nonstop ridiculousness in this episode lmao. This was anything but a normal gymnastics competition as you’d imagine with Kodachi and Ranma. Kodachi really a generational cheater. Not only was she trying to sabotage Ranma in the buildup to the fight, but even during the fight she literally threw in everything but the kitchen sink 😂 can’t believe she even used her brother as a weapon. I got so anxious when she brought out the hot water, thank goodness Akane and Mr. Satome were watching and ready to help! MAPPA as usual delivered on the action scenes too. So Kodachi let go of her current love of Ranma and will just start a new love tomorrow lmaoo. I’m glad and looking forward to seeing more of her. She’s such a fun character |

I think this is the first serious fight of this anime, and it's actually well done. But I kinda wanna have a better look at male Ranma in leotard and naked Ryouga though.
@phantomfandom "male Ranma in leotard and naked Ryouga "  |
| Mappa keeps cooking, every episode is pure gold. Couldn't ask for better adaptation/animation for one of my favorite manga series. "Brother counts as a tool" lmao. Of course he does |
| The intro scene was short in this episode. But it was fun to see Ranko and Ryoga getting the spotlight this time. Kodachi vs Ranma was actually really well-animated. Mappa is doing a great job. Kodachi's movesets were literally "Random Bullshit Go!" lmfao. The way she threw her brother at Ranma was hilarious. So, everyone finally learns Ranko's name. But they just chalk it up to coincidence. Ig most normal people wouldn't conclude male and female Ranma are one and the same. Kodachi forgets her old love for Ranma... only to get a new love for him instead. This girl is hopeless lol. She might be the craziest character of the series and is one of my favorite girls of Ranma 1/2 for sure. |
| i liked the heidi reference in the beginning with ranma and ryouga on the swing. another funny episode. |
 |
| I'm always surprised by how kind and patient Ranma is. Ryouga is such an annoying character. I'd have thrown him under the bus almost instantly. The fact Ranma keeps his secret safe through all the crap Ryouga pulls is almost Jesus levels of turning the other cheek. |
 |
| Hmm, I found this episode as visually slick as ever, but the fight stretched my believability a bit more than I would have liked. |
| Ryouga's simping got rewarded by used as punching bag lol. Kodachi v Ranma is up their with weirdest fight I have seen and there probably be more in this anime. It's treated like some national sports broadcast on TV or something. And the "tools" covers pig, desk, water and big brother. Kuno got hurled into the fight with no hesitation. Not just cheating how she cheated is just genius. 0451 said: 😭😭Kodachi's movesets were literally "Random Bullshit Go!" lmfao Ranma secret is so unbelievable even with so much evidence no one is suspecting and thanks to assist of Akane & Ranma sr. It's still safe. And after hard fought win Ranma still ain't saved from Kodachi as expected she didn't kept promise. Making this pointless "match" even more pointless. Weekly saturday night peak. |
| I just don't understand why they didn't turn off the hose |
| Pears are queens of the light |
| better than whatever the Tyson v Paul fight was |
| Ryoga has a stake in this tournament as he sees an opportunity to get with Akane. Now the school knows female Ranma and male Ranma share the same name. For a brief moment from the hot water, they saw his silhouette too but Akane and Genma keep his secret with the water hose. Akane didn't notice P-chan's human form is Ryoga, though. Damn, gymnast equipment even furniture, HER OWN BROTHER? Anything can be Kodachi's weapon, this compliments Ranma's anything goes martial arts. Guess he learnt from his mistakes sparring with Genma in Jusenkyo as the wring is reduced only to its posts and edges, Ranma uses it to deliver the winning move. |

| Ranma vs Kodachi was quite the entertaining battle. Kodachi had a ton of schemes, but literally having her team under the ring and moving it so she wouldn't ring out was the wildest thing ever. Also what a perfect decision it was to chain P-Chan to Ranma. Practically turned the battle into a 2v1! |
 |
| Was alright. Animation was a bit iffy but the water animation was super good for some reason. Liked it! Ryouga number #1 |
| fuck your power of love ryouga, good goofiness otherwise. |
 |
| I was gonna question how one gave a shit about Kodachi putting fkng chains on Ranma, but fuck it, this shit was great lmao I love Kodachi. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Well it unfortunately wasn’t as spicy as the original episode which had plenty of ass shots, even a handful of feet shots lol, but that’s a light complaint as MAPPA absolutely delivered on this episode, very smooth art and animation, and the fight kept its wackiness which I loved from the OG. I do kinda wish they did more with the girls under the ring like the OG did, but I’m glad the joke wasn’t skipped entirely at least, it is quite insane that Kodachi had her whole team set up like that lol. And like I mentioned in the OG episode, I still think it’s pretty dumb Ranma dropped his real name here, of course no one made the connection but why would you wanna put that out there that you might be the same person lol, this isn’t any development by Ranma either since he’s still secretive about it beyond this, so I just found it odd, it’s a good thing he had Genma and Akane’s help with the water later tho, otherwise it could have been really bad lol. But that’s it for Kodachi’s introductory arc, even after 100+ episodes it’s still one of my favorite fights in the series, loved getting to see it remade, I’m looking forward to whatever arc they adapt next, this is where things might change from the OG since it moved arcs around to save the show at the time, I’m interested in seeing what’s next. |
| Ryuga is way too annoying. When tf is he gonna die. Kodachi didn't give up even after getting defeated as expected. Her love for Ranma is strong. That was one dirty fight though. |
 |
 Lol was totally expecting Ryuga to fall off it into a spring below in that opener scene. |
 |
| Oh my, that fight was amazing, I was laughing so hard. Everything counting as a fighting instrument was just hilarious, ESPECIALLY P-CHAN. It was like those crazy wrestling matches but without any physical limitations, thanks to the magic of animation. |

| Noice episode again. |

| All those Kodachi traps, St. Hebereke school was ok with this? Nice introduction, it seems like a real boxing match with all this hype. Glad the pretty referee has more or less stayed the same. LOL, Kuno needs to write the pigtailed girl name, by mere coincidence the same one of his biggest high school foe. Why? Still, goddamn the fight is pure madness both epic and amusing at the same time (but... poor Ryoga) Kodachi may have lost the fight but not her weird personality, i ask myself now if she could bond with Ryoko Mendo from another series by the same author |
