This translation has been sitting around for a month or two, but I thought
I'd fix it up, since vol.21 just came out.

Does anyone actually read these?  I've received two or three emails about
Ranma 1/2 translations since I started posting them (this is the sixth).

So, this is probably the last Ranma 1/2 translation I'll do, excepting
maybe the final episodes (whenever they may be).  As for legality, this is
hopefully the last Goddess Studio effort that will be posted without
permission.  Not that it's at all required, but anyway.

Ranma is in female form for the entire episode.

Ai no geki totsu!! (Seriously intense love!!)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Voices:		Ranma's stopped cheering for Kunou-sempai?!
		Even worse, looks like he changed to the Seisyun
                 Campus player!
	
Ranma:		If I help Seisyun Campus to win, it'll be my victory.

Mariko:		M-A-R-I-K-O Mariko is the goddess of victory.
		My cheering will keep Kunou-sama from defeat!! 
--------------------
  (Ranma-chan cheers on the Seisyun swordsman, twirling batons) 

Ranma:		Keep aaaat it!
		I looove ya!

Sign:		Kunou Tatewaki (17)

Kunou:		(Just who is this drifter...)
		(Suddenly you appeared, and the pony-tailed girl started
		 cheering for you!)
		I cannot allow it!!
--------------------
Kunou:		Experience utter defeat at the hands of Kunou Tatewaki!!

  (Kunou furiously attacks the hapless Seisyun swordsman)

Mariko:		The sure-killing "Baton Cutter"!!

  (Mariko sends six batons spinning towards the Seisyun swordsman)

Students:	While defending against Kunou's sword, avoiding the
		 batons will be impossible!

Ranma:		We'll see about that!!
--------------------
  (Ranma throws batons, which intercept Mariko's in mid-air.  They
  all fall directly on Kunou's head)

Referee:	Batons hit!!

Mariko:		Kyaaaa, Kuno-sama!!

Ranma:		Behold!
		the "Baton Rendezvous Avalanche Attack"!!

		I've already worked out how you move those batons!

Mariko:		"Baton Cutter" again!   <sha sha>

Ranma (throwing batons):
		How much longer do I have to do this!!
--------------------
Mariko:		Cheerleading martial arts special skill...
		"Equal Will Pole-baton Crush"!!

Seisyun sw.:	!

Ranma:		ugf!?

Students:	The baton stretched!!
--------------------
Ranma:		G.. Goddamn...

Mariko:		hee...
		T-O-D-O-M-E todome [the final blow]!!

  (Suddenly, the Seisyun swordsman intercepts the extended baton. <bash>
  <kan kan kan kan!>)
--------------------
Hiroshi:	Oh, the white-masked swordsman protected Ranma!

Daisuke:	What kind of devotion is this!?
		[lit. "the love they held to each other"]
		  
Mariko:		<pheeeep> "Golden Dipper Cloud"!
		Hohoho, it's here already!

Students:	Ohh, the pom-poms form a cloud...

  (The Seisyun swordsman jumps to join Mariko on the "cloud" of pom-poms
  carried by the cheergirls, but is dragged under)

Mariko:		Ohohoho, you fell straight into the trap!
		It's the secret team skill, "Cloud Above Ants' Hell"! 
		Learn its name!
--------------------
Ranma:		Are you gonna make him!
		
  (Ranma-chan grabs a bugle from the Fuurinkan supporters, blowing away
  the cheergirls <PUUN PAH PAH>)

		"Fanfare Trumpet Pain Agitation Breakup" of love!!

Hiroshi:	Nice follow!

Daisuke:	Aren't they a neat combination!

Ranma (embracing the Seisyun swordsman):
		Hohohohoho, of course!
		We've been in love since we met!

Students:	Ohh!  The swordsman blushed?!
--------------------
Kunou:		You fiend, tempting the pony-tailed girl!!

  (Mariko whisks away the Seisyun swordsman's bokken with tape, as Kunou
  lunges forward)

Mariko:		"Flying Tape Spiderweb Imprisonment" of love!!

Kunou:		Taste defeat!!

Ranma:		"Great Sword-Assisting Double-cut Kick" of love!
--------------------
  (Ranma jumps on Kunou and breaks the tape with a kick, then throws
  the bokken back to the Seisyun swordsman)

Ranma:		Take it!

  (The Seisyun swordsman fails to catch it.)

Seisyun sw.:	...

Ranma:		...
		pal, that was pretty clumsy.

  <mishi...>

Hiroshi:	To get angry just because he was told he was clumsy...

Daisuke:	Who in the world could it be...
--------------------
Mariko:		Ohoho, after all, that couple was made impromptu!

		You think you could triumph over the history of Kuno-sama
		 and Mariko's love!?

Ranma:		Who are you kidding!
		You haven't even been acquainted 10 days!
--------------------
Mariko:		"Pom-pom Wave Surfing" of love!
		<pang>

Students:	Whaat!?
		The pom-pom turned into needles...
--------------------
Mariko:		"Flying Sky Pom-Pom Bomber"!!

  (The spiked pom-poms fly towards the Seisyun swordsman, first ripping apart
  the bokken, then tearing off the kendo mask)
--------------------
Ranma:		Ah...
		(This isn't a joke any more!)
		(If he falls, I lose!)

  (Ranma holds the swordsman in his arms)

		Come on, hang in there!!
		I love you!!
--------------------
Akane:		Really?  Ranma.

  (The Seisyun swordsman was...)

Ranma:		Akane...!?

  (Ranma turns to stone.)

Mariko: 	(I've got you now!!)
