LOVE & SHAMPOO

Love: Shampoo loves obsessively and is rather forceful in her attempts to get her man. Her love life is an ultimate love triangle. She is loved by Mousse but she only loves Ranma.

Sex:Uninhibited. Shampoo is probably willing to go along with whatever pleases her mate. You want to try all the positions in the Kama Sutra? No problem. However, she's looking to get pregnant at the first opportunity, so no "safe" sex. And she'll definitely not be interested in sharing you.


Shampoo towards Ranma :
Shampoo will go all out to get Ranma, from being sweet and affectionate to
being completely ruthless. She is particularly merciless and violent when it comes to fighting for Ranma. She is always trying to find a way to get rid of her rivals (Ranma's multiple fiancees) so she can have Ranma all to herself.
Shampoo being the most affectionate of Ranma's fiancees will clutch/clomp onto Ranma at anytime and cook him his favourate meals. When that doesn't win his heart over, Shampoo will blackmail Ranma into going into dates with her. Like the time she promised to give Ranma a packet of nannichuan mix (which will revert him into a complete male) on the condition that he goes on a date with her. However that's not where her obsession ends. She'll go to the extent of using her herbs, potions and magic to make
him love her.

At this point one might ask if she really loves him and the answer is
YES! She loves him more than anyone else. In season 2 of TV episode #14 Shampoo gave Mousseweapons which backfired on him in the fight (which had her as the prize) he had with Ranma. This indicates that Shampoo wanted Ranma to win even if he truly wasn't the strongest. Of course Ranma is the strongest and would have beaten Mousse easily anyway. Guess that is why Shampoo loves him so. She is also bounded by her
Tribal Law to marry the strongest man.


Ranma towards Shampoo :
Out of all Shampoo's rivals, apart from Akane,
Shampoo really has a good chance of ending up to be his wife. As Ranma doesn't like Kodachi's personality or behaviour and sees Ukyou more as a friend. Ranma really does like Shampoo, as he shows in OAV: Desparately seeking Shampoo. However he finds her too violent and doesn't like her ruthless methods -particularly when she tries to kill Akane. The fact that Shampoo's curse make her take the form of a cat doesn't help, as Ranma has a phobia of cats!


Analysis of Shampoo & Ranma as a couple:
Shampoo and Ranma would make a great couple,
if not perfect. Shampoo's uninhibited nature is just what Ranma needs. As Ranma has difficulties in showing his feelings and is rather insecure about his change into his female form. With Shampoo he will never need to worry about all those insecurities, because Shampoo doesn't care and loves him just the way he is. Unlike Akane, Shampoo has no probrems in showing Ranma how she feels towards him. These two complement each other quite nicely. Ranma is what Shampoo needs too. He is the only one qualified to be her husband according to her Tribal Law, and she truly loves him. However no swimming for this couple!
