-Jinx999:
Ranma is genuinely and seriously mentally ill, even by anime character standards. We're far beyond quirky, to the point where (s)he's a genuine danger
to herself and others.
-Shay Guy:
And I'm starting to doubt whether even getting the curse unlocked would help at this point.
-yesilmavi:
getting the curse unlocked could be even worse for his mental instability. Depending on whether or not his Dad accepts it. Total cure sounds like something
he'd accept. But just unlocked, especcially since this is years afterwards. Too much chance of the suicide thingie...
-ESCNorway:
I think she may be better off staying a girl at this point. She's used to it, she doesn't have any fiancee's after her, and she's gotten over
the whole question of, er, feminine hygiene.
-Epsilon:
Perhaps some author is finally treating what is, essentially, forced gender dysmoprhia disorder the way it actually effects the victims in the real world.
-Shay Guy:
It makes them psychotically violent and prone to making threats on the lives of ten-year-olds?
and now Necratoid:
10 year olds who fly and throw lightning bolts... in other words a mage. This isn't a matter of spontanious issues with a new and previously unknown
thing... this isn't the red herring (I'll explain in a future post if people care for an explination) of certain version of gender dismorphia... This
is a person raped by magic and events, maybe some long dead lazy Muask ruler, and then disowned and tormented by the one who got Ranma into that situation in
the first place... then balim Ranma, declared him presumed dead... cut her off cold turkey from the central focus in her life and gutted her life goal with no
further training.
So we have a disowned ex-boy who is now offically a girl. Told to figure out martial arts on her own and be a scholar... add in the your useless, but if you
ever fix this look me up and we'll see if its worth working on this relationship. I'm fully expecting Genma to have two or three new replacement
offspring by now.
So the random street rat Genma picked up on a lark is named after her MIA sparring parteneer Ranma is focusing all that rage her male self would have at this
situation, if he was alive, and focused it into a rage based counter to her magic phobia and all the mental fun that happens to rape victuims... along with
abandonment issues and no real outlet for this. Now make her repeatedly get KOed by any magic encounter she ends up in... now make her best friend a psychotic
Lawful Evil puppet.
Eva is a mentor figure in this mess, not that Ranma really knows it... or at least the extent of it.. SPOILERS: I mean Eva's back story is one random
night some loony vampire decide it would apparently be utterly hilarious to turn some nobel's 10 year old daughter into a lolli vampire and ditch her. So
Eva wakes up one day inexplicable undead and then spends the next couple hundred years running away and killing off a constant series of vampire hunting
mages... who never listen to her. She is one of the most feared entities in the world for defending herself. So both were victims of forced, major,
physiological changes and then stuck figuring it out herself.
Granted Genma had to go deal with his wife... the one with the sword and the suicide contract... and he is proving for Ranma financially. To be fair this IS
Japan and Ranma is going to a school that parent ditch their daughters at. Also to be fair, if Genma did bring the street rat apparent home to Nodoka
she'd be worse off mentally... all this and forced training in being man amongst men bait? Ranma would be guilty of matricide or have multiple
personalities by now.
