Weapons: Ryouga uses two powerful Ki
techniques, Bukseitenketz and the Shishi
Houkoudan. The Bukseitenketz (breaking point)
technique involves finding the exact breaking
point of any object. Touching this breaking point
will cause the object to shatter into pieces. The
training for this technique, was very hard on
poor Ryouga, he was hung and bound with ropes,
leaving only one finger free that was to defend
him against large boulders that were being swung
at him. Eventually, he mastered the
technique. |
The Shishi Houkoudan technique
invoulves the use of negative energy to generate a
powerful Ki blast. Ryouga also wields a heavy sharp
rimmed umbrella, and uses bandanna and belt as
effectively as a blade.
| Who is
Ryouga? The
eternally lost boy is my absolute favorite
character in Ranma 1/2. Or any othr anime or
manga for that matter... He has been Ranma's
rival since they both were in middle school and
Ranma beat Ryouga to the last piece of bread at
lunch. Challenging Ranma to a battle in a vacant
lot behind his house that afternoon, Ryouga
planned to beat the crap out of Ranma, however,
due to his direction dyslexia, Ryouga found
himself on a four day journey all over Japan that
ended in dissapointment and outrage when he found
that Ranma had gone to China with his father on a
training expedition. |
 |
To avenge the grudge, Ryouga set out
for China to find Ranma, eventually finding his way to a
mountain range where a girl chasing a panda knocked him
into the Heitouenniichaun, where unfourunately, a black
pig had drowned 1200 years ago. Genma, in panda form,
saves the little pig from drowning but attempts to have
it cooked for dinner! Fortunately, for Ryouga the cook
dropped the pig into boiling water.
 |
Ryouga blames Ranma for his
condition, and rightfully so! Ryougas anger at
Ranma increases when he learnes that Ranma is the
direct reason for his disposition. Akane adopts
the little black pig as her pet and names him
P-Chan. Ryouga in the meantime falls deeply in
love with her, but vows to keep his alter ego a
secret from her, luckily, Ranma swore that he
would not reveal Ryouga's condition. Akane is
unaware of the fact that her piggy is Ryouga, and
often times takes P-Chan to bed with her (this
angers Ranma emmensly). |
In addition to his complete
inability to follow directions, Ryouga is easily fooled
by Ranma in his most obviously ridiculous disguises. He
is also extremely strong and in his anxiety, can easily
crush rocks with his bare hands, chew glass or stones,
and has shattered walls with his head alone, which
frankly, makes me wonder how Ranma has been able to
defeat Ryouga on so many occasions.. heh heh...
