Wishes Can Come True ==================== Idea Timeline ======== Ranma, Age 4: Genma takes Ranma on training trip for the first time - Genma plans on using an ancient scroll that he had stolen when Ranma was born, to wish Ranma to become the best martial artist of his generation - Scroll seemly does nothing Ranma, Age 5: Since the scroll failed, Genma takes Ranma on the canon ten year training trip - Genma learns of the Neko-ken - Genma subjects Ranma to the Neko-ken Ranma, Age 17: Genma takes Ranma to Jusenkyou (Land of Cursed Springs) - Ranma battles Saffron - Failed wedding - Uneasy peace settles over Nerima Ranma, Age 18: Affects of Ancient Scroll take the shape of a blue-cloud Setting ======= Ranma 1/2, post-manga Concept ======= Genma's scroll takes fourteen years to build up enough power to fulfill its function. Unfortunately, the scroll isn't a wish granting spell, as Genma thought it was. Instead, it turns a person into their ideal version of themselves. Scenario ======== An uneasy peace existed in Nerima for the past few months after the failed wedding attempt until things return to the status quo (as they always do). High frustration levels causes the Nerima Wrecking Crew (Ranma, Ryouga, Akane, Ukyou, Shampoo, Mousse, Kodachi, and Tatewaki) to take it out on each other and Ranma. It's a free-for-all, and a Get-Ranma fight. Genma, Soun, Happosai, Cologne, Nodoka, Nabiki, and Kasumi are on the side-lines, watching. While fighting, a 5 meter radius, blue-cloud appears over the Nerima Wrecking Crew, and bolts of lightning arc out of the cloud and into the Neriman Wrecking Crew. All of the Nerima Wrecking Crew, save Ranma, scream out in great pain. Ranma moans softly in pleasure, since he's the intended target of the spell. The Others are "caught" in the blast radius. Each person is transformed into their ideal version of themselves: Tatewaki Kuno - a Hajime Saitou (Rurouni Kenshin) like person - a truly Noble Samurai - Swordmaster - very ashamed of past life/action Kodachi Kuno - Marvel Comics's Black Widow like person - a sexy, skilled Super-Spy/Ninja - deadly on the battlefield and just as sexual, sensual in the bedroom - realizes that she was insane before, but better now and still wants Ranma Akane Tendo - Sailor Jupiter (of Sailor Moon Universe) - Jupiter is: a good martial artist, a magic girl, a great chef/cook, and very good-looking girl - Akane possessives all of Makoto Kino's canon memory (from the entire Sailor Moon series) and abilities, although, sometimes, her own abilities interfer... - New Akane-Jupiter realizes what the original Akane was like and is very ashamed of her old self Shampoo - Xena, Warrior Princess - Shampoo believes Xena to be an actual historical character and the ideal Amazon - Xena has no ki techniques or knowledge (as far as I know), but brings a greater range of weapon knowledge to Shampoo, as well as greater out-Village view point - Shampoo-Xena understands why she failed to get Ranma and is, somewhat, ashamed of her past attempts to get him - Still wants Ranma, but as an equal instead of Amazon Husband Mousse - City Hunter/Ryo Saeba - Since coming to Japan, Mousse has become a closet manga otaku - Mousse believes that Ryo Saeba is the most intelligent, all-seeing detective around and wishs to be him, especially since Ryo gets his girl and any any girl. - Mousse doesn't fully understand that Ryo Saeba is something of a hentai, but Mousse enjoys all the girls that Ryo get... even the slaps - Mousse understands that he has no true place in the Amazon Village... and Mousse-Ryo knows it's only a matter of time until his "Power of Hentai-ism" will ensnare Shampoo for him Ryouga Hibiki - Akuma from Street Fighter - envies the power that Akuma has in the game/show, and wants Akuma's "Shun Goku Satsu" technique that sends an opponent to Hell, to be used on Ranma - Ryouga-Akuma only cares about beating Ranma to show that he is the best... - Nor longer cares about Akane or any girl, just fighting Ukyou Kuonji - Utena from Revolutionary Girl Utena - swordmistress - Ukyou-Utena thinks Ranma is her Prince she is out to rescue Ranma Saotome - Goku from the End of DBGT, with some of Piccolo's abilities - Piccolo's abilities: Instant Regeneration, Magic, and creation of Dragonballs - Going SuperSaiyan Level 1 causes a Scale 3 earthquake with a 5 mile radius - Going SuperSaiyan Level 2 causes a Scale 8 earthquake with a 100 mile radius - Going SuperSaiyan Level 3, without care, could detroy the Earth - Going SuperSaiyan Level 4, without care, could detroy the Solar System - Normal Saiyan Powerlevel is 10 mill - Knows all of Goku and Piccolo's techniques Notes ===== (1) Maybe Nabiki and Kasumi are "caught" in the transformation zone as well... Nabiki Tendo - Nagi, the White Serpent (from Slayers) - envies Nagi's freedom, figure, and power Kasumi Tendo - Drow/Dark Elf - still waters run deep - wanting control and power, and has a darkside to match her "light side" (2) Nabiki points out that Ranma can create his own Dragonballs, summon Shen-Long and make wishs... - Possible Wishs + Cure for Jusenkyou + Resurrect dead mothers * Ranma, as Saiyan, could even given up a portion of his life force to empower the mothers, and not miss said portion - If said wishs are granted in Nerima + People will think someone is making a live-action DBZ + People will start to search for dragonballs for themselves - After Wishs, dragonballs are scattered ALL around the WORLD + No Dragonball Radar - Thanks to Ranma, magic will slowly return in force to the World - talking animals (like Turtle in Dragonball) will concur - humanization of animals (like in Dragonball) will concur (3) Dragonball Afterlife, Kais, Namek, and others exist, prior to transformation - Dragonball Manga/Anime was based on Legend of Dragonballs and Myth of Monkey King
