Ryoga Hibiki's Review and Analysis


Interesting Facts


Ryoga means "good fangs" or something to do with fangs, that's why everytime you see Ryoga, his teeth are as sharp as hell!

Or, like someone said, Ryo means hunting or searching and Ga means self. So, Ryoga can also mean, "selfsearching".

Hibiki means sound or noise. Hmm, that explains everything about him. Ryoga had a dog once, the dog is the only one of the family that knew it's way home...

Who is he?


Ryoga is the eternally lost boy. He has no sense of directions period! If he says he'll be there today, then he means in a week. He once got lost in Shampoo's house! For 2 hours! He has no direction period! He's really strong. To release pressure he has inside himself, he'll make craters in walls and break it. His heart, as he said himself, was a heart of glass. Breaks easily, cause of Ranma and Akane. He's a sensitive character. I mean, I can't help but feel sorry for the guy, I mean he loves Akane but Ranma is in the way. Ryoga tries to beat Ranma up for Akane, but he'll never learn he ain't impressing her with his strength or nothing like that, well atleast she think he's a nice guy. His Ailias is P-Chan, since he changes into a pig! Akane gave him that name (as a pig) and adopts it as a pet. P for Pig, and everyone knows that chan means little or something like that:
name: Ryoga Hibiki
sex: male in human form and pig form
eyes: brown
Hair: black
height: 5'7" give or take a few like Ranma.
weight: 160-170, boy he's buff!
likes: Akane very very much
dislikes: Ranma very very much

How it all started


Ryoga and P-chan's! It all started when Ryoga was looking for Furinkan High School in a town. He walks around again and finds his way to Tokyo. He's there and all that then he sees Ranma! He chases after him (because of a Parking lot challenge issued by Ryoga while both of them were in Junior high). Ranma and Ryoga start fighting and all that. Ranma loses Ryoga and then Ranma and Akane waited at the school entrance for Ryoga, but he doesn't appear. Ryoga gets lost again. He finds that he's in that small town again!

Ranma thinks why is Ryoga mad at him so much? Then akane and her friends discuss how long her hair has gotten. Longer than Kasumi's. Ryoga finally makes it back to Ranma's school. They start fighting bad. Peepz be making bets and all that. Everyone bets that Ranma will win. Nabiki bets against Ranma and thinks of a sabatage. Science geeks think if Ranma is beaten then Akane is single again! So first the geeks just put their bomb down. Ranma steps on it, it's a dud. Nabiki then gives Ryoga vitamins. The fight goes to the zoo. Wild animals escape and Ranma kicks a water fountain turning into Ranma-chan. Ranma sees akane almost being caught in the trample and saves her. They get in an arguement. She cries and slaps Ranma. Then her hair gets cut! It turns out the Zoo keepers are missing a panda, so they mistaken Genma panda as their panda. hehe. Anyway, Akane is real upset that her hair got cut. She slaps Ranma and Ryoga and then goes back home and asks Kasumi to cut it for her. Ryoga gets lost again. A lady asks him where the Police Box is, he leads her around for a week then finds it. Then Ryoga heads for the Tendou's place. It starts raining and Ranma and Ryoga are just standing out there (ryoga for some reason is still a guy). They start fighting. Ryoga tells Ranma he went to China, leaving mystery to Ranma. They fight and fight, eventually waking up the Tendou girls. They think it's robbers so Akane throws a dumbell, it hits Ryoga in the head, he loses his umbrella, and he runs off. Ranma chases after him. All he found was a dog and Ryoga's clothes and backpack. Later we find that a cute little black pig is in Akane's room... Ranma then takes a bath for the pig. Ranma is dunking and dunking until Ryoga turns into a guy. Ryoga turns into a man again. Then Ryoga tells Ranma that he went to China looking for Ranma, but China is really really big so he had to walk all over it, until one faitful day he was standing on a cliff. A panda was running, almost into Ryoga. He jumps to avoid this animal and a girl knocked him down (the red haired girl was chasing a panda) into a pool! His body was changed into a pig. Ryoga tried to stay on the surface. A panda picked him up and led him to the a man's house. Their the man says he got a nice piggy. He'll make Cantonese sweet and sour pork for him... Ryoga tries to struggle. The man in the funny green hat is saying, "Here in Jusenkyo there is a spring called *holds up the sign* Eitouenniichuan, spring of drowned pig who die 1,200 year ago. Maybe this one no pig but human, no? Ha ha, you hear, I make joke!" The Panda stated laughing and so the wierd man. The plop, Ryoga hit the hot water, he jumps out immediatly and the guy says, "Aaaaiyyaaa, this one real human, no can eat this one!" Then Ryoga searched around for Ranma. Ryoga says it's all Ranma's fault since he never fought him in Jr High. Ranma discuss's his case saying, "It was the wierd girl chasing the panda right? That knocked you in the spring, so where do you get off blaming me! p-p-panda?" Then suddenly a panda walks in, he holds up a sign saying "sorry" or "pardon me" and leaves. Ryoga says, "p-p-pand-d-da." Looks at Ranma and she's giving the biggest puppy dog eyes there are. Ryoga attacks Ranma in the showers.

Special Techniques!

More about the Shi Shi Ho-Kou-Don

The Shi Shi Ho Kou Don was founded by a civil engineer use for excavating, or something like that. It's Ryoga's most powerfullest move. Why don't ya read it here. hehe, here it is:

"Now I'm training in Hokkaidou. I'll return in 3 days. Let's fight in the open lot. Don't be late." Ryouga sent Ranma a letter of challenge. There was also a picture of Ryouga in Nagasaki. Ranma waited for 10 days. Then the ground shook underneath him. There was a large blast of energy that sent Ranma flying. It was Ryouga. He said, "I'll beat you with my new technique." Then Ranma attacked Ryouga. Ryouga blasted him with the "shishi houkoudan". Ranma kept trying to attack Ryouga, but Ryouga kept blasting him away. Ryouga was surprised at the strength of his new technique. But he said that it hasn't been perfected yet. Later Ryouga carried Ranma home. Ranma was all beaten up. Akane and Kasumi were surprised to see Ranma in such a situation. Ryouga said that Ranma had been his training partner. Later Ryouga told everyone about his new technique. Soun and Genma had never heard of it. Ryouga was very happy that he had finally defeated Ranma. Later Akane told Ranma to cheer up because they were just training. But Ranma said that he was trying his best. Ranma said that the shishi houkoudan was too powerful. He had to find out the secret about the shishi houkoudan. The next day Ryouga was reading some scroll in the doujou. Ranma tried to take a look, but Ryouga didn't let him. It had some secret about the shishi houkoudan. Ranma asked where Ryouga learned that new move. Ryouga told him. Ryouga had been training, and had gotten lost in some cave. He got trapped inside when some rocks fell and covered the opening to the cave. Ryouga used the bakusaitenketsu, but it didn't work. Then Ryouga met a local construction worker. The little guy taught him the shishi houkoudan. Unlike the bakusaitenketsu, this move worked on people too. Then Ryouga told Ranma that his move had not been perfected yet. Ranma asked Shampoo's great grandmother about the shishi houkoudan. Cologne knew about it and tried to teach Ranma. But Ranma's force was too weak. Ranma said that Ryouga could do it. Then Cologne told Ranma to forget about it, because he couldn't do it. Cologne went away. Ranma thought about losing to Ryouga. He imagined Ryouga living happily with the Tendo family. Everyone said that since there was a strong Ryouga, Ranma was just in the way. Also they said that Ranma and Genma just ate the food without doing any work. lil' Ryoga Ryouga imagined that he could propose to Akane. Ryouga was carrying a bouquet of flowers and crashed into an electric pole because he wasn't paying attention. Then Akane spotted Ryouga. Akane said that there was something she wanted to talk to him about. Then Ryouga said that there was something he wanted to talk to her about. Akane said that Ranma was feeling very sad. She wanted Ryouga to make Ranma happy because they were good friends. Ryouga started to propose to Akane, but since he heard this, he became very sad and he walked away. Ranma found Ryouga walking down the street. Ranma asked to see the shishi houkoudan again. But Ryouga wasn't in the mood. Ranma kept asking him anyways, so Ryouga blasted Ranma. Ryouga's eyes turned red and it was much stronger than before. Ranma thought it was getting closer to perfection. Ryouga was camping out in the open lot. A cute girl came up to Ryouga. (Ranma-chan in disguise) The girl said, "I have always like you. You defeated the very strong Saotome Ranma." Then she said, "I want to see the scroll," in a very cute voice. Instead of the scroll, Ryouga said that he would show her the move itself. Ryouga tried he move. But it failed. Then it failed a second time. On the third time it finally worked. The blast caused the hot water to be spilled on to the girl. Ryouga got very mad and blasted Ranma away. Ranma couldn't stand not knowing the secret of the shishi houkoudan. Then Genma and Akane came. Ranma yelled, "Leave me alone!" and blasted Genma. Ranma had used the shishi houkoudan. Then Ranma tried all night to use this technique again. But it didn't work. Ranma couldn't figure out why it had worked just once. Akane told Ranma to give up. Then Ryouga came and told Ranma that he should give up because he couldn't do it. Akane asked, "Ranma, did you lose to Ryouga?" Then Ryouga answered and said that Ranma had lost twice. Ranma got mad. Ranma used the shishi houkoudan to blast a hole through the wall around the Tendo yard. Ryouga and Akane were surprised. Ranma figured out that the secret behind the shishi houkoudan was "kiga omoi" (a heavy feeling). Ranma was happy now and tried to blast Ryouga. But it didn't work. Then Ranma felt upset that it didn't work. Ranma tried again and it worked, because of his unhappy feeling. Then Ranma and Ryouga took turns blasting each other, and making themselves unhappy. Soun came and yelled at them for destroying his property. Both Ranma and Ryouga became sad. Then they blasted Soun away. They kept taking turns blasting each other. Cologne came and saw what was happening. She said, "Ranma can't win." Ryouga said, "I had always lost to Ranma. I'm bad in directions. I don't have a girl friend," to make himself depressed. Ranma said, "I have this weird body.. Turning into a girl." But Ryouga got very upset and said to himself, "Pig." Ryouga shouted to Ranma, "You can't defeat me in comparing unhappiness." But Ranma said, "Give me one week. I'll get more unhappy than you." Cologne said that this technique would be very frightening if they perfected it.

Then came the next episode of this very intresting story

Ryouga was thinking that he had to master the shishi houkoudan before Ranma. In the scroll it said, "Think of something bad and make your feelings very heavy. There you did it... But... This is only the basics. To master the shishi houkoudan... [downward arrow]." Ryouga couldn't figure out what the downward arrow meant. At the Tendo home, Ranma told Kasumi that if he lost, he wouldn't eat anything. He also told Nabiki that he would be his slave. Akane said that his unhappiness was not that much. Ryouga fell into a sewer, and turned into a pig. Kasumi wondered which was more unfortunate, Ranma or Ryouga. Nabiki quickly said that Ryouga was. Ranma had a dream. Ranma was starving and running around. He saw Ryouga sleeping in a sleeping bag looking very happy. Ranma blasted Ryouga. [In real life] Ranma was in front of the refrigerator. He was stuffing his face with the food. Ranma had been starving himself. Then Genma came and kicked Ranma. Genma told Ranma that the shishi houkoudan didn't suit Ranma. Genma was going to teach him another technique. Outside in the Tendo yard, Genma set up for his technique. Then he just yelled insults at Ranma. The next morning, Ranma got mad and created a huge energy ball. Ranma thought he can do the shishi houkoudan. He tried again. But Nabiki flipped up Akane's skirt, and the ball disappeared. Ranma got upset again. He released another energy ball. It went up into the air and circled back at Ranma. When Ranma got up after the explosion, he said that he could see it. He became full of confidence, and said that he could counter the shishi houkoudan. Ryouga was in the public bath thinking about the "down arrow". Then he saw the water coming out of a statue's mouth. Ryouga looked at it. He took a rubber fish and put it in the water. He saw it sink. Then Ryouga yelled out that he discovered the secret for perfecting the shishi houkoudan. In the middle of the street, Akane asked Ryouga if he was really going to fight Ranma. Ryouga asked Akane to say to him, "I hate you." Ryouga begged Akane. Then Akane said it softly. Ryouga yelled that he didn't want to hear it and ran off. Akane then saw an enormous energy ball in the distance. Ryouga had created a huge crater in the open lot. He said that he had perfected the shishi houkoudan. At the school grounds, Ranma was waiting for Ryouga. Ryouga arrived three days late. Ranma was full of confidence. Ryouga said, "I threw away my happiness. I'll pound the hell out of you." Ryouga blasted Ranma, but Ranma created an energy ball to block Ryouga's. Ranma said that he can counter the "heavy feeling"(sadness) of the shishi houkoudan with his "strong feeling"(confidence). Then Ryouga said that he had become more unhappy. Ryouga used his most powerful shishi houkoudan so far. Ranma was surprised at the size of it. Ranma couldn't block it, as his confidence level decreased. Ryouga was in the middle of the blast but he was still unhurt. Then Ryouga fired again, and Ranma couldn't block it. Cologne wondered what had made Ryouga so unhappy. Then Akane remembered what she had said to Ryouga. Ryouga tried to fire again, but Akane ran up to Ryouga. She said, "I like you Ryouga." Ryouga became very happy when he heard it, and lost the power of his shishi houkoudan. Then Akane said, "Let's stay friends forever." The thought of being "only" friends with Akane forever made Ryouga feel lower than before. Ryouga's blast became stronger than before. Ranma was getting blasted. Ryouga was getting hit by his own blast too, but he wasn't getting hurt. Then Ranma spotted the change in Ryouga's facial expression as the shishi houkoudan landed. Ryouga said, "I won," and started to walk away. But Ranma had a thought. He said, "One more." Then Ryouga blasted Ranma again. Just as the blast was going to land, Ranma yelled out, "You can see Akane's panties!" Ryouga looked up and the blast crushed him this time. Ranma was right in his guess. Ryouga was releasing his feelings as the blast landed. So the blasts have been going by him. Ryouga asked, "How many times do you think this will work?" as he got up. Then Ranma said, "I kissed Akane." This brought Ryouga down to the lowest level. Akane shouted that it was a lie. Cologne wondered why Ranma make Ryouga increase the power of the shishi houkoudan. Ryouga unleashed his strongest shishi houkoudan. Just when the blast was coming down, Ranma jumped to use the power of the shishi houkoudan. Ranma yelled out, "It's a lie that I kissed Akane." Ryouga looked up. Then Ranma threw a punch into Ryouga with the full force of the blast. Ranma defeated Ryouga. Later at the Tendo home, Akane told Ryouga again that she did not kiss Ranma. Ryouga said that he was happy.
