Ranma 1/2 Nettouhen episode 139
title: Bakuretsu!  Hyper tsuzumi
opening song: Love Seeker Can't Stop It (Vision)
ending song: Niji to Taiyou no Oka (Piyo Piyo)
aired: 1992.08.28

Principal was playing the ukulele on the roof of the Fuurinkan High
School.  Then one of the strings broke.  He thought something bad was
going to happen.

Kodachi was playing with midorigame in the Kunou pond.  Just below the
pond, Kunou and Sasuke were inside the Kunou secret treasure room.

Kunou started cleaning because it was the year of the "big cleaning" in
the Kunou mansion.  Then Kunou knocked over a lot of boxes.  A box with
a seal on it landed on Kunou's head.  There was a tsuzumi (Japanese hand
drum) inside.  There was some strange force in the drum.  Kunou hit it
once.  A strange energy came out of it and caused a large explosion.

Sasuke read the history of the strange instruments.  The bu-gakki
(martial arts musical instruments) that had strong powers had been
sealed.  Sasuke wanted to seal it again.  But Kunou said that he would
use it to bring peace to the world.  Kunou said that he had to find the
other one.

Kodachi, who had been thrown by the explosion, found a biwa (Japanese
guitar).  Kodachi played it and a great explosion followed.

Ranma was walking to school.  He was complaining because it was hot.
Kunou was carrying the tsuzumi to school.  Ranma stepped on Kunou's
head.  Kunou got mad and used the drum to blast Ranma.  Ranma ended up
plastered to the school clock.

Kunou told his classmates including Nabiki about the tsuzumi.  Ranma-chan
came and said that she wanted it, in a very cute voice.  So Kunou hit it
for her and caused an explosion.  Ranma-chan was unconscious.  So Kunou
tried to kiss her.  The principal came and kicked Kunou saying that they
couldn't kiss in school.  Kunou got mad and hit to drum at the principal.
The principal got blasted and hit the black board.  When the principal
fell, he started crying because his ukulele had been shattered.  He sadly
walked away crying.

The principal was still staggering in shock.  Then Kodachi came up to him
and gave him the biwa.  She told her father that this was the only way to
fight against her brother.

All of Kunou's classmates and their teacher were very scared.  Since
Kunou had hit his drum often, they were prepared to run away.  Then Kunou
hit the drum again for the 6th time.

The principal made an announcement and gathered all of the students
outside.  Ranma got mad because it was hot and hit the principal.  The
principal played his biwa and blasted Ranma.  Then he played again and
blasted everyone.

Kunou came up and challenged the principal.  They both played their
instruments and blasted Ranma who was caught between them.  They kept
blasting Ranma.

Then Sasuke came and told Kodachi that there was a way to defeat those
instruments.  It was a sound louder than the instruments.  Then Nabiki
got a microphone and told Akane to put a stop to the fighting.  She said
Akane's yell was the loudest thing that she knew of.  Then Ranma came
flying.  Kodachi told Ranma that he was the only one who could stop it.
Akane told Ranma to stop.  Ranma told Akane to stay out of it because
she couldn't do anything.  Then Akane got very mad.  Nabiki tossed Akane
the microphone.  Akane yelled, "Ranma no baka!" very loudly.  It caused
the bu-gakki to explode.
