Why is Ranma a literal midget when he gets splashed with water? He's smaller than Akane in his girl form.
According to supplementary material from the 90s, Ranma is 6'5 in boy form and 5'0 as a girl.
>>283209525>Ranma is 6'5You mean 5'6?
>>283209497It's cold water so he shrinks
>>283209547Nope. 6'5.
>>283209497I always figured it's just to highlight the differences between the two genders. He's also pretty busty for a girl too.
>>283209497How come Ranma never tried masturbating as a woman?
>>283209560Well you're obviously wrong. He's one of the shortest male characters, and 6'5" is giant. In the OP pic you can clearly tell Ranma isn't anywhere close to 6'5".
>>283209597It was said to be 6'5 in a 1991 guidebook. Obviously that's changed over the years and he's average now.
>>283209619Proof? Because official heights of the characters were never given.
>>283209558It shrinks?
>>283209497New to the series? female Ranma has always been tiny, in the manga they make a point of her being much weaker than male Ranma due to not being able to reach some of her opponents during fights, the 1989 anime changed this so female Ranma always wins all her fights without the need to change back to male Ranma
>>283209497Physical humiliation.>>283209569Basically this.>>283209525>6'5No fucking way, that's ACTUALLY tall.
>>283209525You're going to need to provide proof. Everything says 166-170cm. The fact that you even said 6 feet tall is just ridiculous to begin with.
>>283209560In a 1994 issue of Weekly Shōnen Sunday, Takahashi clarified that the characters are "average size for their age," based on government statistics for 15-year-old students at the time.
>>283209525>>283209560>>283209619Was it a translated guidebook that could've flubbed a unit conversion? Elevens typically use cm. A raw would clear things up if one could be found.
>>283209871The average height for a 15-year-old Japanese boy in 1987 was approximately 166 cm (5 ft 5 in), as recent data indicates a significant increase in average height since that time. While there are no precise 1987 statistics readily available, a study from 2005 on average height of Japanese males at different ages places the 15-year-old average at around 166 cm. This is supported by the fact that the average height for adult Japanese males was shorter in the past compared to today.>>283209619Why would a Japanese guide book be in inches? How could they flub up 30cm?
>>283209497So that Akane can manhandle him and treat him like her futacocksleeve.
>>283210015Girl Ranma is still stronger than Akane so no.
>>2832094972 possible reasons1. Ranma is short for a guy, so his girl form would be short for a girl too.or more likely 2. The girl that drowned was simply that small.
>>283209525It should have been called Ranma 10/13
>>283210105So? He's still light and small as hell, perfect for the purpose.
>>283210399No, Ranma isn't the submissive type. Get lost.
>>283210474Nah.
>>283209497Even male Ranma is a turbomanlet. No way he would ever get so much pussy irl, lmao
>>283210749>165 cm at bestThis is embarrassing.
>>283209497Dude the art style and animation is lacking af. They should have ditched the ancient voice cast and hired a new one because that's where the whole budget went and it's showing.
>>283209799
>>283209799>>283210870
This is a stupid question. Gravity exists. And spirits. Men evolved to be taller because gravity tries to pull our balls down toward the ground, where they will be taken by earth spirits. Girls have no such worries in their easy lives. They are allowed to be shorter because the earth spirits have no interest in their disgusting bacteria-caves.
>>283209799That's half right. Yes, stated to be weaker physically, but also becomes faster.Force = Mass x AccelerationSo, More mass and slower as a maleLess mass and faster as a femaleTotal power level, probably on par with anyone from the DB universe if they didn't have magic.
>>283209497IIRC his female form isn't literally a female version of him, it's the form of the girl who drowned in the cursed pool, her having pigtails just like Ranma is just a coincidence.
>>283210963That's wrong. Read the manga.
>>283210963The hair style is based on his current hair style.Also, nah, we see later in the manga that if a spring transforms you into a specific person, it's called by the person's name. We also see another character who ends up in the same spring Ranma did and doesn't look like Ranma in female form.
>>283211031No, they are right. Ranma fell into the pool of Drowned Young Girl.Just like Genma Saotome fell into Pool of Drowned Panda.Ryoga drowned pig, Shampoo (Champoo) cat. Duck dude Goose or whatever.Curse comes from the pool and what drowned in said pool. Clothing doesn't change when wet, only their appearance.
>>283210852Would it really have made a difference?
>>283211109He's wrong, retard. I just posted Herb, another guy who fell into the spring of the drowned girl and looked completely different from Ranma.
>>283211038What? Provide proof please. Just lying to lie in a 4chan thread seems weird.
>>283211133herb throws a monkey into the pool and the monkey looks like female Ranma. I can find the chapters if you want or you can read the manga on Mediafire.How and when the spring was cursed causes their change despite same pool. Thus the monkey looking like female Ranma.
>>283211031Herb's unique curseUnlike Ranma, Herb's curse was established more recently under unique circumstances.Purposeful cursing: Herb deliberately used the spring and a "Water Pot of Preservation" to manipulate the curse. He captured the essence of the "drowned girl" while also accidentally being hit by the water himself.Genetic influence: Herb, as a descendant of a dragon, has unique physical characteristics. His curse reflects this ancestry, resulting in a transformed state that is noticeably different from Ranma's, who is just a normal human.
>>283211176I think you mean Mangafire.Also the manga is so old I'm surprised anyone remembers any of this. Not to mention keeping any real continuity.
>>283209799>>283210870>>283210883Sex with female Ranma
>>283210956I doubt that, I'm sure the likes of Master Roshi and Krillin would give Ranma lots of trouble in a fight since he can barely handle Happosai and he only directly fought and beat Cologne in the 1989 anime, in the manga he never even got to punch her
>>283211139Dragon's Whisker arc if you mean the hair. Ranma has a curse where his hair grows if it isn't tied into a pigtail by the dragon whisker, and we see the longer hair going from male to female Ranma during the arc.
>>283211133Herb says Ranma looks like the female the monkey turned into. Not hard to show you are wrong. A simple google search provided this
>>283211284Ranma trained in DB world could probably take all of them, in either form. Some random fatty almost defeats Krillin, until he is told he doesn't have a nose.
>>283211271
Did the drowned goose also wear glasses
>>283211384Did the panda?>>283211109Pretty sure this person said it all
>>283209497Just another shame step, become a midget-bodied roastie.
>>283211384Do you mean duck whose lake Mousse fell into? Wouldn't surprise me if it did, the manner of death implies it was a weirdo.
>>283211368That translation is inaccurate. He says that he looks too similar, not "a perfect double ". And Ranma looking similar to the monkey is an actual coincidence, Herb looking completely different proves that the spring doesn't turn everyone into the same person. >>283211038 already pointed out that springs that turn into a specific person, like the spring of drowned Akane, are into a different category.
>>283211381My wife
>>283211497Chooses to ignore>>283211198Believe Translation was wrong, despite still not proving a picture>>283211368Good for you. You win an award on 4chan...you get the make yourself feel better despite being wrong award. Let me guess, you think 1+1=5, well good for you, you win. Don't need proof, just need fake facts...alrighty then.
>>283210015god you are so cringe
>>283211497You're absolutely right to question the translation — the scene from Ranma ½ you're referring to has often been the subject of mistranslation or localization embellishment.In the English version shown in the image, Herb says:"You, Ranma... are the perfect double of that monkey-woman!"This is a localized line, and it's exaggerated compared to the original Japanese. Original Japanese Line:In the original manga (Japanese version), Herb's line is:お前はあの猿女にうりふたつだ！ Literal Translation:"You are the spitting image of that monkey-girl!"(or more literally: "You are a dead ringer for that monkey-girl!")猿女 (saru-onna) = "monkey-girl" or "monkey-woman"うりふたつ (uri futatsu) = an idiom meaning "exact likeness" or "spitting image" What's the Difference?The English localization added a bit of dramatic flair with “perfect double of that monkey-woman,” but the biggest issue is context:Herb is not implying Ranma naturally looks like a monkey or insulting her — he's reacting to the fact that Ranma (in her cursed girl form) resembles a specific monkey-girl from a past legend or story associated with the cursed spring he just got thrown into.So the mistranslation or misunderstanding is: Ranma looks like a monkey-woman in general. Ranma looks like a specific girl who drowned in the spring, who happened to be referred to as a “monkey-girl” — likely due to martial arts antics, behavior, or some historical context. In Summary:Correct translation: "You are the spitting image of that monkey-girl!"Meaning: Herb is shocked that Ranma (as a girl) looks exactly like the person who drowned in the spring of "Drowned Monkey-Girl" (猿女の泉).Common mistranslation issue: Interpreting this as a generic insult, when it's actually plot-relevant and situational.Let me know if you'd like the cleaned-up version of the panel with a more accurate translation edited in!Once again...wrong
>>283209497It's the spring of drowned girl, not the spring of drowned woman.
>>283211586You post Chatgtp trash and even expect me to acknowledge it, retard? There's nothing in the actual manga supporting that hypothesis, even the idea that somehow Herb being a fraction dragon because of his ancestor would turn him into a different girl while the monkey being a fucking monkey doesn't makes no sense. Go back to arguing with AI if actual responses upset you.
>>283211680
>>283211641so he can stay forever young as a woman?
I don't get this whole cursed spring concept thing. His voice change confuses me because either he should have kept his voice or everyone who gets that girl curse should have the same female voice right?
I want a p-chan.
>>283212140Why would you want a loser that turns into a pig?
>>283212162Comes in handy sometimes
>>283211945No, that's another misconception. He just turns female, his age stays the same. There's a chapter where Ranma eats some de-aging mushrooms that turns him into a kid, and when he gets splashed with cold water he's a little girl.
>>283212036It's a "the author didn't think of that because there is no audio in a manga" curse. See latest anime episode, where absolutely no one questioned why disguied "male" ranma sounds like a girl, not even blind Mousse who should at the very least be able to differentiate people by their voice when not hearing his glasses
>>283212036You get a female voice, that's all.
>>283209497fem ranma is such a little sexpot
>>283211813Cute
>>283209585who says she didn't.lots of things can happen offscreen; this is a very high priority item in gender bending scenarios.
>>283212311
>>283212339He hates his curse even though he kinda gets used to it. I doubt he'd even think about it.
>>283212408practically every male masturbates. only psychos and guys who are getting laid constantly don't choke one out.
>>283209497>6' as male>5'11" as female
>>283212501Yes as a male but he won't bother do it in his girl form. Even though he sometimes acts like a slut as a girl to get what he wants he has his limits because his male pride is way to huge.
>>283212501Gay men don't want to play with pussy, nor are they turned on by one.
>>28321087054 minutes of booba
>>283212388>>283212599Sexo
Fuck female Ranma
ai ranma gooning
>>283212738enough with the slop nigger
>>283209497girl ranma being smol makes it extra cute
>>283212767wow rude
>>283209497Gotta love Akane for being a savage. She doesn't any shit.
>>283212984*doesn't take any shit
>>283212984*doesn't shit
>>283213010No wonder she's so cranky
>>283209497Life is hard, can't decide which Ranma is cuter...
I wanna talk something more important. Like how hot the Mage version of the girls are. Shame they didnt do enough shampoo and kodachi.
Can the fetish posters literally fuck off now?
>>283213361>>283213361>Can the fetish posters literally fuck off now?>>283213361>can the ranma posters fuck off
>>283210749>taller than of these niggasI could heem everyone in that manga
>>283212227>>283211945>>283211641There's also the chapter where they comment on Ranma's breasts having grown more than Akane's. So, she does age even in female form.
>>283210852The remake is shit. The trailer literally shows how they gonna speed through it.
>>283209497Keep in mind: the "form change" Ranma gets from the spring, when cold water is splashed on him,IS NOT SEX CHANGE.It's a complete transformation into the form of whoever DROWNED TO DEATH in that spring.Ranma isn't turning into "female Ranma." He's transforming into "Niángnìquán."
>>283209497>>283210015>>283210610Ranko should have been even shorter at least by a head with the same proportions
>>283214048Idc how fast this is going to be I just want the fishing rod arc to get finally animated
>>283213361Ranma nails
>>283210237>The girl that drowned was simply that small.Ranma is literally turning into that girl. Do you think Ryoga is turning into a pig version of himself? What would that even mean?
>>283214406>>283216008Already debunked.>>283211031
>>283216008>Do you think Ryoga is turning into a pig version of himself?Yes? Do you think that the duck Mousse turns into just happened to need glasses too?
