Volume 19 (Purple Cover)

When Daddy Was Strong: When training in the mountains, Ranma beats up Genma when they fight over the last cup of ramen. Later back home, Genma is thinking, and decides he wants to test his strength against Ranma, so they fight, but Ranma wins. Ranma says he won't take revenge for all the things Genma did to him (Genma was often stealing Ranma's food), but he wants his father strong, to help him train, but Genma just takes the 'dead fish' (defeated) position. Genma left a sign saying he's left, and on her morning jog Akane finds the panda clutching a tire in the park. Ranma turns up too, and argues with they agree to have a fight in a week.

Time To Leave the Nest: Ranma is training in the mountains (smashing up logs very fast). He falls asleep outside his tent, and wakes up finding himself wrapped up in a blanket, some panda paws, and all the food stolen. The panda continues to train, holding a tire in the park. At the match, Ranma beats up Genma, who then laughs, saying he can fight all-out now.

The Cradle From Hell: Genma tries to clutch Ranma in his 'cradle of hell' move, but Ranma keeps dodging away, but they reach a standstill with Ranma not wanting to attack as he don't know what the move is. The Tendö's have supper etc, and 3 hours later, Ranma decides to attack Genma, who'd fallen asleep. Genma says he had a dream (remembering happy days with young Ranma), then he clutches Ranma very tightly, and rubs his unshaven cheek against Ranma's. The next morning, Genma is throughly beaten up, and Ranma is still grossed out over the move.

Mark of the Cherry Blossom: Akane buys some special sakura mochi ingredients - if someone is destined for you, then cherry blossom-like marks appear on the eaters head, else they get a cross. Soün stuffs one down Happosai's throat, who hits his head because of the bad taste, and gets a big 'X' on his face. Akane tries to make Ranma eat one, who runs away, and Kunö also eats one, and gets an 'X'. Akane tells Ranma about them, and says she wants to know if they're really destined for each other. Ranma feigns indifference, then goes to eat one, but is put off by Akane staring at him, and they fight, and some of the sakura mochi get thrown into P-chan's mouth. P-chan runs into the public bath, and Ryöga runs out - who has 3 blossom petals marks on his face.

Akane's Feelings: Later, after Ryöga and Ranma have fought a bit, Ranma decides Akane and Ryöga (who gets VERY happy) would make a good couple, and Ryöga playfully punches him off. Later, Akane eats a sakura mochi, and gets an 'X' too, and Ranma steals one, and goes under the house to try to force himself to eat it. The next morning, Akane is looking for Ranma, and finds he's holding a sakura mochi, and he then decides to eat it.

Storm of Petals: Ranma hits his head over the taste, then says he'll turn around after '3', but just before he does Akane hits him away because she was scared of what she might see. Ranma lands in Ryöga's ink-well, who's just finished a love letter to Akane. Ranma runs into the house, and finds his face black from the ink, and after rubbing it off, his face is clear. Later, Ryöga has found out about the sakura mochi, and happily babbles about his and Akane's wedding. Ranma chucks water onto him, and P-chan attacks him, hitting his face. Then Akane turns up and finds Ranma face covered with petal marks, and walks off in a happy mood. Later as Ranma is being fed by Akane, he think he'll have to tell her the truth - that both Ryöga and he got the marks from P-chan's hooves - Ryöga had got them as he hit himself on the head because of the taste.

L! O! V! E!: At school, there is a volleyball match between two schools, and Akane's team have all been knocked out, except for her. When Ranma turns up, he sees a baton thrown at Akane, and flicks a nut (out of a bag he was eating) to knock it away. It belonged to the other school's cheerleader, and Akane then start arguing with her, while the other team throw lots of balls and win the game. Later Akane is crying, and Ranma kicks Kunö away when he tries to 'comfort' Akane. The cheer-girls are walking home, and their leader, Mariko, despairs of finding love when Kunö drops onto her. He gives her a bandage, and walks off (after giving her his standard speech), and it's love at first sight for Mariko. Later Kunö is chasing after onna-Ranma (he wants her to cheer for his kendo club), when Mariko turns up and wants to fight "Kunö's girlfriend" in "martial arts cheerleading", and Ranma agrees, but it's more because that Mariko made Akane cry.

Cheerleading for Love: At school onna-Ranma is practicing, and beats up Kunö when he turns up. Mariko says to win, Ranma will have to love Kunö more than she. She says she'll do anything for Kunö - he tells her to close her eyes, then he draws all over her face. The other boys come rushing in, and Mariko beats them all up. At home, Ranma is practicing, and says he's doing it for the Anything-Goes School of Martial Arts. Mariko kisses a big poster of Kunö goodnight.

Win One for the Lover: Onna-Ranma comes and gives lots of presents to Kunö, but he thinks she isn't serious - so they have to go on a date. When Ranma comes back, she says she should have hit Kunö more. At the match, Mariko gives her own team food that paralyses them, then onna-Ranma and Mariko start fighting, and Ranma is having trouble against some of Mariko's stranger moves. In the audience, Akane decides that'll she help Ranma.

Equals in Love: Mariko sends a shower of love letters to Kunö, Ranma counters with pictures of herself - Kunö is happier with the pictures, and Ranma gloats. Mariko cries, and runs off, Kunö says he loves her, then Mariko gloats, and Ranma worries about loosing. Then one of Mariko's kendo team finishes off the 2nd last Furikan kendoist (Mariko thought she'd got all her team). Then Kunö and the new guy fight and Ranma says if Kunö looses, Mariko looses and protects the other guy.

Love vs. Love: Ranma is merrily cheering for the new guy, and Kunö attacks this person who made "Osage no Onna" change. Mariko tries to hit him with batons, but Ranma knocks them back into Kunö, then Mariko gets Ranma with an extending baton. The other guy gets tricked, and Ranma saves him and says they love each other making the other guy embarrassed, then Mariko grabs the guys sword and when Ranma gets it back and throws it to him, the guy drops it. Ranma comments that was clumsy and gets hit by the guy, then Mariko uses a spiked pom-pom which rips off the guy's mask. Ranma tells him to get up, saying she loves him, and Akane (the 'guy') asks if it's really true, and Ranma turns to stone.
