Ranma's World

Places in Ranma 1/2

Tendo Dojo: The home of the Tendos, where Ranma and Genma are staying as guests. Is also the dojo for the Tendo Anything-Goes School of Maartial Arts, which Ranma and Akane are supposed to carry on. This particular place seems to suffer structural damage daily, from a number of sources, but somehow Soun finds a way to repair the dojo every time.

Dr. Tofu's Office: Dr. Tofu runs this clinic, where he treats people's injuries with his extensive shiatsu and martial arts training. Usually, Ranma may be found here, when Akane beats him up pretty badly. This is also the place where Akane and Ranma usually go if something unusual has happened and they want to know what it is (e.g. Akane's memory loss or Ranma's sensitivity to hot water, etc.)

St. Hebereke/Bacchus High: The all-girls school where Kodachi Kuno goes, and where she is captain of the Rhythmic Gymnastics team that is always spying for her.

Hibiki Residence: Ryouga's house. Unfortunately, the Hibikis are rarely home since they are all lost.

Jusenkyo: A ground of cursed springs, located in the Bayankala mountains of the Xinghai Province. Each spring has its own curse, and falling into a spring gives you a curse which turns you into whatever drowned there and cursed it. The effect is only temporarily reversible with hot water. Ranma, Genma, Shampoo, Mousse, and Ryoga all were cursed here.

Joketsuzoku: A village of Chinese Amazons, located near Jusenkyo. This is the village that Mousse, Shampoo, and Cologne come from, and where Ranma first defeated Shampoo.

Mount Phoenix: A mountain near the Jusenkyo springs where the Phoenix, a race of bird-like mean and women, live.

Neko Hanten/Cat Cafe: The ramen restaurant that Shampoo and Cologne opened near the Tendo dojo.

Ucchan's: The okonomiyaki restaurant that Ukyo opened near the Tendo dojo.

Kuno Estate: The mansion of the Kuno family. Ranma once showed up here to destroy an incriminating doctored photo of him and Kodachi embracing.

Togenkyo Island: A floating, moving island that Toma rules.

Kolkhoz High: The high school where Mikado Sanzenin and Azusa Shiratori go to and are the skating champions.

Ryugenzawa: A forest that contains unusually large animals, due to the magical "Water of Life" spring. Shinnosuke and his grandfather keep the animals restricted to this area. Akane was once lsot int his forest when she was young, but was rescued by Shinnosuke.

Tunnel of Lost Love: This is a tunnel reputed to break up any couples that walk into and out of it together. Ukyou, along with Ryouga, tried to break up Ranma and Akane by sending them into the cave together.

Things in Ranma 1/2

Battle Dougi: A magical dougi, which, when worn by the one of its choosing, increases the wearer's fighting potential to its maximum value. However, the dougi has an awareness of its own, and has quite a perverse attitude. Akane wore this dougi at one time.

Blazing Firestick: A magical staff whcih shoots out fire. Akane used this to help Ranma in the poisoned garden story.

Chiisuiton: This magical water locks whoever is splashed into their current form, cursed or uncursed. Herb used this to lock Ranma as a girl.

Cursed Bra: This was a special bra that contained the vengeful spirit of a woman who wanted revenge against men. Happosai acidentally stole the bra and released the spirit, which nearly defeated Ranma, Akane, Soun and Genma. The spirit was defeated, however, because of the disgust it felt by being glomped onto by Happosai.

Cursed Doll: This doll contained a vengeful spirit which takes revenge on anyone who wrongs it. Ranma accidentally knocked the doll over, and as a result, the doll tried to get revenge on Ranma by possessing Akane and trying to murder him.

Gale Force Fan: A magical fan which uses the power of wind and water. Akane used this to rescue Ranma from a deadly Garden.

Gekkaja: Another enchanted staff, the counter to the Kinjakan, which Ranma finds and uses.

Instant Nannichuan packet: These powder like mixes come in packets, which, when added to water turn the water into a "Spring of Drowned Man", or Nannichuan. Shampoo tried to get a date out of Ranma by offering him a packet, which later turned out to be a one-time cure.

Invisible Glasses: These ancient Joketsuzoku glasses make who ever confronts the wearer in a fight grovel before them in submission. Mousse found these glasses and used them on Ranma several times in an attempt to get Shampoo.

Kaisufuu: The magical water which acts as a counterpart/cure to the Chiisuiton (see above). Ranma and Herb competed to find this.

Kinjakan: A magical staff that Saffron uses against hsi opponents.

Koi Fishing Rod: A magical fishing rod which, when thrown by someone, makes whoever is caught by its hook to fall in love with the caster. Ryouga tried to use this to get Akane, but instead accidentally hooked Onna-Ranma.

Legendary Umbrella: An unusual unmbrella which makes two people of the opposite sex who are under it fall in love with each other. This umbrella was found at Furinkan one day and was fought over by various people.

Love pills (Moment, Day, Life): These pills, when taken, make the user fall in love witht he first person of the opposite sex they see. Each of the three pills has a certain tiem duration - one lasts a few moments, one a day, and one a lifetime. Ranma accidentally took the Moment pill and fell for Cologne. More seriously, though, was the fact that Akane accidentally swallowed the lifetime pill and had to be blindfolded so she wouldn't see any men. The ordeal fianlly ended when Ranma, who nearly drowned Akane in an attempt to shield her from seeing any men, made Akane cough the pill up.

Magic Mirror: A mirror which, if a tear falls on it, transports the owner of the tear to the memory most fixated in his/her mind. Happosai was transported in this manner to his past....

Magic Mushrooms: When taken, makes the user susceptible to commands by hypnosis. Ranma was fed these by Shampoo, but a mistake during the hypnosis made Ranma glomp onto the closest person he is at when someone sneezed.

Magic Scroll: The people who carry the two halves of this scroll are destined to be married, according to legend, since the scroll contains the supposed "Ultimate Technique". Kirin possessed the first half - the toehr half was in the possession of a Chinese girl named Lychee, until she threw it at Happosai and it landed in Akane's hands. Of course, it happened that Kirin showed up for his "bride" at that very moment, and Akane was kidnapped, forcing the rest of the cast to go after her.

Magic Soap: When washed with this soap, the user cannot be affected by their Jusenkyo curses for a temporary period. Shampoo tried to use this to get to Ranma.

Magic Urns (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) (NOTE:Anime only.): These urns, when gathered in a certain place at a certain time, can create a "Nannichuan", or "Spring of Drowned Man". The urns were gathered by Ranma and co., but the Nannichuan was found to be not in order.

Mongoose Whistle: A whistle made from a "horned mongoose", which is supposedly the mortal enemy to the eight-headed Orochi dragon. Akane used this to put the Orochi back to sleep.

Orochi Moss: A magic moss which grows on the eight-headed Orochi dragon, and which is also the main component for creating the Water of Life. Akane had to get this moss to save a dying Shinnosuke.

Phoenix Egg: The Egg of the legendary phoenix, which hatches when placed on someone's head. The phoenix then imprints itself onto the first person it sees each day, making him/her its mortal enemy. Kunou, unfortunately, hatached this egg on his head, and both Ranma and Akane were targeted by the bird.

Phoenix Pill: The antidote to the "Full Body Cat-Tongue" pressure point, which makes the target highly sensitive to heat. Ranma had to get this from Cologne since he couldn't change back into a man as a result of the "Full-Body Cat Tongue".

Power Armor: A mechanical suit which amplifies the user's strength - however, there are two drawbacks. You can't move too well while in the suit, and the suit also possesses a countdown timer that makes the suit explode unless the wearer strikes his/her most powerful enemy. Gosukugi tried to use this to beat Ranma.

Reversal Jewel: A magical broach which, when worn a certain way, may eitehr enhance or completely change a person's romantic feelings. Shampoo wore this upside down, thereby reversing her love feelings for a puzzled Ranma.

Shampoo formula #411: The herbal Shampoo used in the "Xi Fang Xiang Gao" Shiatsu technique, which manipulates memory. Shampoo used this shampoo on Akane to try to make her forget Ranma.

Shampoo formula #911: The herbal Shampoo that must be used to counter the Shiatsu memory loss technique. Ranma tried to get this shampoo from Shampoo in order to restore Akane's memory.

Super Soba Noodles: These noodles, when eaten, increase the eater's strengthexponentially. Akane accidentally ate these noodles and became super-strong. However, she was unaware of the side effect of the Super Soba, which was a growth of whiskers.

Togenkyo Cursed Spring: The spring from which the island of Togenkyo gets their water, but which was cursed, turning all who drank of it into a man. Ranma had to destroy the spring because he and Akane were about to fall into it.

Umi-sen-ken scroll: A scroll containing one-half of a set of techniques created by Genma. The Umi-sen-ken techniques are designed to emulate a "quiet" thief's moves.

Water of Life spring: A spring located in Ryugenzawa which has magical healing properties, which is responsible for the size of the animals in the Ryugenzawa area and Shinnosuke's life being extended.

Woman Repellant: A special mixture of herbs put into a packet which, when warmed by human flesh, becomes a "tear gas" that repels only women. Ranma used this on Happosai in an attempt to get revenge on him, but later it backfired, and Ranma ended up almost losing the fight because of it.

Yami-sen-ken scroll: A scroll containing one-half of a set of techniques created by Genma. The Yami-sen-ken techniques are designed to emulate a "noisy" thief's moves.

Tatewaki Kuno says:

"Ah, the vengeance of heaven is slow but sure...one day Ranma Saotome, I will smite thee...wha? What? How dare you touch the person of the scion of House Kuno on the shoulder like that! Do you wish to face the Blue Thunder in combat? No? Well then, lowly one, click the left arrow to flee to Anything-Goes Martial Arts or the right arrow to run to the Anime/Manga Summary of Ranma 1/2. Perhaps you wish you were at the Ranma 1/2 Library Main Page rather than standing in the presence of the rising star of the Kendo world. Very well, off with you!"
