The Ranma begins to feel strange and finds that none of Ryoga's hit feel particularly strong. When he strikes back at Ryoga he seriously injures the lost boy and has to quickly take him to hospital. Meanwhile the spike in Ranma's powers has been noticed by other parties. As Ranma and Akane walk home from the hospital, talking about going on a training trip together, the superhero Power Woman drops down onto the street in front of the them.
