From the last book...

Ranma appears at the battle scene all wrapped up, then "magically" transforms into a girl!However, his legs and arms are too short now that he is stuck in his girl-form. Then Dr. Tofu, upon hearing the cause of Ranma's apparent avertion to hot water, cures Ranma by hitting an accupuncture point in his back! Ranma then defeats Mousse easily. Unfortunately, Dr. Tofu's cure is only temporary, and can only be used once!

Ranma-chan hears from Shampoo that Colonge has a "Phoneix Pill" that can cure his "cat-tongue".He goes to work as a waitress in Neohatten, and Colonge tells him that if he can master "Chestnuts In Fire Fist", she will give him the pill. After days of gruelling training, Ranma finally masters it, but the pill is still with Colonge...

Ranma chases them to the beach, hoping to get the "Phoneix Pill", and finds out that Shampoo and the pill is being offered as the prize in a watermelon smashing competion where everyone tries to smash each others watermelon whilst running to the finishing point. It's a draw between Ranma-chan and Colonge, and an underwater match is to Ranma-chan's disadvantage due to Colonge's "Shark Fist". Finally, with the help of Shampoo-cat, he uses his unbeatable "Cat Fist" and wins the pill from Colonge and returns to his guy-form.

Ryouga is back again from training, and this time, Colonge decides to teach him a special skill, in which the opponent is disabled by hitting a special accupuncture.And the winner will get Akane.

A furious fight errupts, with boulders exploding under Ryouga's newly learned skill. Ryouga becomes almost unaffected by Ranma's fists due to the gruelling training in which he kept having boulders knock into him whilst he frantically tried to see the accupuncture point of the boulder. However, they soon find out that this skill has absolutely no effect on humans. Sigh...
