Slay a monster?!

More or less.

It appears in a seaside hot-spring town.

And the town has asked us to slay it.

Come back safely, now.

Um...?

Bye!

Hut, two, hut, two! Here they come!

Toys on the march...!

Free hot-spring trip; nice.

Will they be okay?

Goodbye-e-e!

Got it!

We have a winner!

"Renegade Octopus Pot"?

That's what they call th' monster?

Apparently.

We haven't been informed of the details yet.

By its name, I deduce it to be an octopus-pot monster.

One manju cake, please!

Coming up!

No fair! I want an amazake drink!

Now I know what you guys really came here for.

Renegade Octopus Pot!

- What? - Look!

The Renegade Octopus Pot is here!

Octopus Pot?!

My deduction was correct!

An octopus pot is sunk into the sea.

And it's pulled up when an octopus enters it.

An octopus trap.

Gimme back my dumplings!

Wha--?!

Q-Quick, Ranma... after it.

He got everybody.

That's one speedy octopus pot.

Now that's fishy.

Are you searching for something?

Oh, y' know, just an Octopus Pot...

We're martial artists come to put the pot in its place, so to speak...

So that Renegade Octopus Pot's appeared again?

How frightening.

Nonsense! Have no fear! We two are here!

We're giant-killers! The ch-ching in kim chee!

The wonders of the world! Too many to count!

Are you all right, miss?

Excuse me.

I'm not well. I must go now.

Miss...?

How about an amazake drink?

Have a manju cake, too.

Thanks, I will.

Goodbye.

Take care.

What th' heck--?

A helpless maiden living alone in a miserable hut.

Poor girl. You'll understand when you're grown.

How lame.

I'm sure you've seen for yourselves.

Since that monster octopus pot has come here...

our food has been stolen, couples have been harassed!

Outrageous behavior!

So visitors are staying away.

At this rate, our hot-spring town will die!

Are you listening, sirs?

Should we charge them, after all?

Leave it to us! Slaying monsters is the work of martial artists!

We shall surely destroy the monster.

Great masters, we rely on you!

- That was delicious. - That was delicious.

- We'll be counting on you! - Where's the tempura?! My sashimi?!

Leave it to us!

No-good sneaks...

All they did was boast and pass out drunk.

Still...

Somethin's weird about this.

The Renegade Octopus Pot is quite the lecher.

So it will surely appear in the women's bath.

It's a lech. It's dirty and sneaky.

Speedy and round...!

Could that Octopus Pot be--?!

You dirty--! So you showed up, monster?!

Switch move?!

Come back!

I got you now.

Wha--?

What's the idea?! Ow. Ow--!

Have you heard?

An octopus-pot monster appears at this hot spring.

Is that why it's so empty...?

A man!!

Miss--

Revenge...!

A human being was inside the octopus pot?

It weren't no monster. It was a human bein'.

But Ranma, is there any man who'd FIT into that tiny pot?

One man is.

W-Would he be--?!

Not him--?

Well, now--!

We've drunk and eaten our fill!

Shall we go home?

Sure thing, Saotome!

Hey, hey, hey!

Yo, students!

Master!

So you're the ones they got to destroy me?

Forgive our insolence.

We should have known our place--!

Quit bowin' to him!!

It's the Renegade Octopus Pot!

He stole some sashimi!

They've come!

Drat. If they learn we're STUDENTS of this monster--

The Anything-Goes School of Martial Arts will be disgraced!

He went in there!

Sirs! Did the Octopus Pot come in here?!

What are you talking about?

Didn't the Octopus Pot come into this room?!

Nope, haven't seen it.

But sirs--!

What's that in front of your eyes?!

"A GIFT... --from Octopus Pot"

What's this--?

This fish was just stolen from us!

Tendo! This is clearly a challenge to us!

We can't wait a moment longer!

We must destroy the Renegade Octopus Pot!

Destroy it, destroy it!

Morons.

Thanks, Kasumi.

I wonder if they're okay?

Don't worry.

Aren't those three just like monsters themselves?

Nabiki!!

A lucky tea twig--!

It sank.

Where are you, Renegade Octopus Pot?!

Come out, Octopus Pot!

Have you fled from us in fear?!

I'm scared, honey. The Renegade Octopus Pot is lurking again.

Don't worry. Those martial artists are sure to get him.

Octopus Pot, where are you?

Where are you, Octopus Pot?

Where's the Renegade Octopus Pot?!

It's behind you! Behind you!

Where is it?!

Here! Over here!

Where?!

Over here! Hey!

Here!

If you want me, come and get me!

Penalty...

kick--!!

Look! Up in the sky!

A flying Renegade Octopus Pot!

It got away from us!

How fleet of foot!

Ah, frustration!

Those wretches, Soun and Genma!

I see! They want to hide the fact that I'm their master?

Fine. I'll have to do something about that.

I'll force them to appear before me!

Cut it out, ol' lech!

Curse you, Ranma! Have more respect for your master!

You asked for it!

People of this hot-spring town, please listen to me!

These men are my stude--

You underhanded--!

Hey, Pop! What's the big idea?!

We're going home!

Run away and leave th' old man like that?

Sure!

He's just a weak old man in an octopus pot!

- Let's go home. - Are y' crazy?! Quit draggin' me!

Wretches!

You've shown utter disrespect toward your master!

This cannot be ignored!

Happo Fire-Burst!

I'm not finished yet!

Happo Fire-Burst, Scatter Blast!

Heh! I wash my hands of you.

I've got that sweet girl!

That sweet girl?

Anyhow, Tendo, now's our chance to escape.

You're right, Saotome.

Where are you going, sirs?

Um, we just--!

We went to great expense to bring you gentlemen here.

You're not running away, I hope?

Of course not.

You seem to be quite friendly with the Octopus Pot.

D-Did it look that way?! My word!

Tendo, our acting must be awfully good!

We almost convinced the Octopus Pot to be friends, too!

You can see right through 'em.

We've got to get him this time, Saotome.

- Let's go, Ranma! - Hey, ow!

Let go of my hair, already!

We've got to capture the Master and shut him up.

True.

Then why not beg him like you always do?

Fool!

If we do that, Master Happosai will take us for all we've got!

You don't want to give him the money?!

Of course we don't !!

Where can we start lookin' for him, though?

He was talking about "that sweet girl," wasn't he?

"That sweet girl..."

You're so funny, Grandfather.

I am?

That hut...!

It's the home of that sweet girl who's sickly.

"That sweet girl"?!

So this is where that dirty pot's been squattin'!

It was right in front of us the whole time.

Y-You don't think he'd --?!

Be my bride!

Unthinkable!

That's unforgivable, Master!

It don't look that way.

- What? - What?

Tsukasa, I got a big haul-- I mean, I bought plenty today.

Thank you for everything you've done for me.

Here, eat and get well. How about fish cake? Dumplings?

All this?

Are you all right, Tsukasa?

Yes.

How kind you are. You don't even know me.

We promised not to talk about it.

I'm only doing what's right as a human being.

You said so even the first time we met.

Tsukasa?

I can't believe the Master would help anyone.

He just wants a girlfriend.

Girlfriend, huh?

Tsukasa, is there anything you'd like?

No, nothing.

A melon, perhaps...?

Not freshly picked; one that's been ripened no more than five days.

I see. You want a melon?

No, I can't impose--

But I'd love some ripe melon. Not Andes, now, but muskmelon.

I understand. I'll steal--! l-I mean, I'll buy some for you!

You will?

I'll be right back!

Gotcha!

What're you trying to do?!

As if you didn't know!

Master! Submit quietly!

Forget it!

Bleah!

You ain't gettin' away, filthy ol' lech!

Come back!

Catch him, Ranma!

It's for the sake of our hotel bill--! No, for our honor!

You don't havta tell me! I know!

- Master! - Submit!

You won't be my equal for a hundred years yet!

Happo Mega Fire-Burst!

How pathetic.

OI' lech!!

Die!

Hold...still! Lemme...catch ya!

Don't wanna!

Rats! Where th' heck is he?!

Over here!

There?!

No, here!

Here?!

Here!

Hey!

Catch me if you can!

Why, you--!

See, Ranma!?!

The secret move of the Anything-Goes School...

Octopus Pot o' Eight Legs!

Let go of me--

Ranma!

Prepare to die!

No way!

White panties!

Uh-oh!

S-Self destructed.

The Octopus Pot o' Eight Legs move is defeated!

Lemme out! Lemme out!

Ranma! Good work, boy!

Safe is our hotel bill! The honor of our school, too!

Which was it for?

Ranma!

Soun! Genma!

- M-Master! - M-Master!

Please let me go.

If I'm not there to bring her food...

that sweet girl, Tsukasa, will starve to death!

That sweet girl?

It's true, it's true.

Yeah, right...

Octopus?!

Please don't bother with me.

I trapped octopus for a living, but I've grown weak.

It's all right. I won't ask for foie gras or caviar or truffles.

Dear, sweet octopus.

Looks like she can get along just fine without Happosai.

Looks that way.

Tsukasa...!

I'll show them!

Master, what's this?

They're presents, of course, presents.

We can't go home empty-handed, right?

Good point!

Now let's make our getaway.

So you were in this together, after all?

You finally showed your tail-- I mean, your legs!

K-Keep away!

What'd I do?!

Grandfather Happosai was with you?

Bingo.

You got that right.

Have some tea, Grandfather Happosai.

Thank you. When I'm tired, nothing beats your tea.

- Oh, my. - So did you destroy the monster?

Not yet.
