description: It's the same old song. Ryoga-confronts-Ranma-and-Ranma-defeats-Ryoga (pause) Ryoga-confronts-Ranma-again-and-Ranma-defeats-Ryoga-again (fade out). Powerful martial artist though he may be, Ryoga has yet to defeat Ranma, and how depressing is that? Not every technique is suited to every martial artist (at least that's what Ranma's dad Genma says). What Ryoga needs is a technique suited to his own unique strengths - to his depression, that is! Sure, asking Akane to say "I hate you!" may be the quickest way for Ryoga to power up, but even if Ryoga's body survives his new technique's blast, will his heart be able to withstand the blow?
