Cursed Springs of Jusenkyo
Frank GuideA lot of the comedy of Ranma 1/2 comes from the fact that some of the characters have curses on them as a result of falling into the Jusenkyo springs, which turn the person into whatever drowned there when hit with cold water. Here are each of the springs and their descriptions. I think maybe I'll let my friend the Jusenkyo Guide explain them...^_^
