Pretty sure the guy on the picture is Ranma's father. In terms of inheritance, he is usually responsible for all these shennigans.

What? So-called "anime-original material"? Fillers in my "Ranma"? Meh.
There is such thing as shit taste. Only idiots think that every "work of art" should have the same value.

Oil and nuclear are civilisation saviours. Deal with it.

Still wonder if it was worth Ranma excelling at martial arts. Having not seen his mother for years.

Baka Akane and Baka Ranma.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Eeeh, a two-part drama OVA was the last thing I wanted to see.

Soun having illegitimate children arc? That sounds great. Soun mostly did nothing in the series other than being a pathetic student of Happosai alongside Genma so this is welcome, although he's probably not the real "father". It's probably Genma judging by the flashback.

Akane really became useless. It's like she abandoned martial arts and started taking it slow after Ranma came. Wonder how or if she'll defeat Kurumi and Natsume. But first Ranma needs to find Akane since she ran away. This is the second time she did this after that one TV series episode early on. I like these types of drama episodes like the early series. Wish there were more of these.

The part when the two girls claimed Soun as their father is quite funny. Imagine he already has three daughters then add another two more. He remains pathetic from the beginning till now same as Genma. Both Ranma and Akane are hardly likable so far especially Akane for being quite stupid to cause unnecessary drama like this. Overall it's pretty decent given that these two eps are fillers!

Well, I checked the manga, and apparently, this is not canon. Another filler episode.

Kinda odd that they went and made another anime original story for these OVAs, you’d think they would want to cover as much of the manga as they can, I’m sure it wasn’t an issue of the content not being available either, but at least this one seems like one of the best original stories of the series so far, I really like these new girls Natsume and Kurumi, and how they may or may not be illegitimate children of Soun’s, I love the idea there but you know it’s not actually him based on that flashback, this has Genma’s fingerprints all over it lol, not sure what he would gain from promising two random girls the Anything Goes Martial Arts school but I guess we’ll find out next time.

And damn, ngl Natsume is smoking hot, the amount of exposed booba in her battle outfit is pretty awesome, she actually looks to me like if Ukyo and Kodachi fused lol, it’s a great design tho, and Kurumi’s cuteness contrasts nicely. But man it is a shame to see things end that way between Akane and Ranma, Akane was being pretty dumb there but Ranma was too harsh, what they really need is good teamwork but we’ll see if they end up managing that in the final episode of this set of OVAs.

Some food thieves appear and ended being a pair or girls who are sisters and seems like also orphans. They are so strong wow and the youngest one eats a lot, even Akane's food. The oldest one looks like Ukyo.
Apparently are ilegit daughters of Soun but something doesn't make sense, but by those memories, his attitude and the photo seems like Genma has something to do with this. I wasn't expecting a plot like this in the OVAs, according to other comments here is not canon in the manga, pretty sad because is a great concept, I like it very much and is also a two part ova.
The duel was not fair, they were using weapons and Akane has become so weak but I don't remember she winning a duel without Ranma in the series so is not that rare. Is the first time Soun seriously kick out Ranma from the house. I love those girls, are strong and have what the dojo need unlike Ranma and Akane.
