@lakagurita just the key word highlighted

he's so worried and unsettled throughout this arc – the idea of losing akane has the guy SWEATING in almost all his panels. nobody gets to him like her. it's so serious he got me pulling out the damn marker. i'm simultaneously unwell and having the time of my life

Me sometimes after reading the fandom

I wish I could tell the artist how good these drawings are but the stupid site where it was posted doesn't allow me to

Anyway, here's the source

Today in "I don't take shortcuts at work" someone pointed out in a discord server that Kodachi's school name was not same in the Manga and the animé (Hebereke vs St. Bacchus) and this is why:

Hebereke [ヘベレケ] = blotto => Bacchus [Roman God of wine]

And I think that's clever. Maybe not necessary but clever.

Too good not to share it everywhere.

Aggressive reminder that Akane Tendo is canonically muscular and athletic

In the case you speak Spanish, the Argentinan version.

Dear fellow Ranma 1/2 enjoyers:

For the love of what's good and just please avoid the old Ranma fan scanlation manga as much as possible, the amount of deceiving translation inaccuracies is really infuriating.

[gabodelabarca]

Reminder: the Ranma ½ manga does not end with Ranma accepting the curse, that was invented by the scanlators, EvilNabiki and Shade.

The very next chapter, the very epilogue of the entire series in fact, he hasn't accepted it at all! The moment he hears that the Guide sent a cask of Drowned Man water, he's all over that thing!

He'd merely forgotten about it at the time in his desire to save Akane.

By all means have your Ranma ½ fanfic be as trans as you want it to be. I cannot, should not, and will not try to stop you.

Just, please keep in mind that a lot of "canon" details about the story come from very early fan works with no basis in the actual anime or manga.

Ranma does not accept the curse in the end, Shampoo's name is not Xian Pu, Shampoo's maces are not paper lanterns, and Akane does not pull a hammer out of nowhere nearly as often as you might think.

Hell, she's not even the only one to do it.

Ranma ½ is an old story, first published in 1987. The Internet didn't hit it big until the mid-90s. It was quite hard for Western fans to acquire such media.

Despite all that, fanfics happened. And those included fan inventions.

And if a popular fanfic has a bunch of things invented by its author, and the readers have no means to check for themselves yet... they write their own fanfics.

And use details originally from that first fanfic.

An English speaking fan wouldn't necessarily know that bonbori are Japanese paper lanterns, even less likely they know that chuí are Chinese maces.

And that popular early fanfic's author? They didn't know what Shampoo's weapons are called either and guessed wrong.

And since effectively nobody in the early days of the English-speaking Ranma ½ fandom knew what the fuck a chuí is, and didn't have Wikipedia to look it up, everyone and their pet pig called the damn thing the same that first author did.

And some still do this in 202X!

It gets even better when you do try to look these things up and find a handful of Ranma ½ fan sites with all sorts of information... and they also present these old fanons as fact! You gotta love it.

I mean, mistaking "bride" for Shampoo's surname? That's inspired.

...

Fun fact btw before I finally go to bed: in an earlier print of the official English translation, the flashback to when Ranma ate the Dragon Whisker porridge is stated to be several years ago, which makes zero sense. This at least was corrected in later prints.

Fanart Friday.

If anyone could tell me the artist I would credit them. I can’t find it for the life of me.
