Happosai (AST)

## History

After escaping from his prison Happosai made his way to Furinkan High School in search of Akane. Naturally his usually antics drew a lot of attention. After Kasumi stopped the students from beating him to a pulp, he introduced himself as the master of Anything Goes. A short time later, Kasumi, her sisters, Ranma, Shampoo and the now infamous Happosai arrived at the Tendo home. The reaction of their parents confirmed that Happosai was telling the truth about who he was.

Nodoka directed the others out of the room as Happosai focused his wrath on his two former students. In order to save himself Genma ended up presenting Ranma to Happosai to be his new heir. Nodoka initially became enraged at the thought of Happosai taking her son away, though she relented slightly told that he could train Ranma there. Ranma did impress Happosai with his durability after he slammed Ranma into the stone fence when he attacked him for his initial dismissal. Ranma managed to push through the pain, and went on the offensive again Kasumi seeing this offered herself as heir. Happosai refused, while impressed by her skill he believed that pretty girls should be cherished and not subjected to his training.

When Happosai learned of the engagement and Kasumi’s marriage to Shampoo he started questioning Ranma’s manliness. This caused Nodoka to insist on a date between Kasumi and Ranma, much to Shampoo's displeasure. While Ranma himself still hasn’t realized it has become increasingly clear that he is starting to develop feeling for Kasumi. Seeing this as potential fun as well as a chance to work on Ranma’s education Happosai bombarded Ranma with naked pictures of Kasumi and Shampoo going so far at the plaster them all over his wall.

Ranma was left a nervous wreck, who could barely look at Kasumi. Needless to say he tried to pummel Happosai into a bloody pulp. Happosai was enjoying teasing Ranma only to be distracted by Kasumi saying Cologne’s name. Learning that Cologne had taken Kasumi on as a student, Happosai decided to start training Ranma seriously, as he saw him as a chance to show her up. To get Ranma to agree he insinuated that he could cure Kasumi of her curse.

At the beach location of the San Cheng Huang, Ranma decide to set Happosai up with Shampoo's Great-grandmother in the hope it will stop him from going after the other younger female beach patrons. Unfortunately Happosai is far from impressed with Ranma's choice so refused to hand over a a bracelet which Cologne recognizes as the same bracelet that was stolen from her village to her. Stating he planned on giving it to his future wife.

Happosai flees with the bracelet and Cologne explained the nature of the pills, but Happosai had lingered long enough to hear this and set off to make use of them. While Happosai was able to easily handle everyone, Kasumi kept getting past his guard somehow. So as a distraction he threw a pill into Nabiki’s mouth. Happosai then ran off, and everyone split up in an attempt to find him while Kasumi and Michiru headed back to the restaurant with Nabiki.

Shampoo, in the meantime, laid a trap for Happosai, using herself as bait, and successfully caught the old master. He managed to slip one pill into his pocket and she wasn’t willing to search him. Once he freed himself he attempted to use it on Usagi. Shampoo and Haruka tried to intervene, but during the encounter, Happosai discovered Haruka was a woman and used the pill on her, but was quickly disabled before it too effect.

When Akane went to a women's hot spring with her friends Sayuri and Yuki Happosai snuck along. In the middle of his usual chaos he found the Happo-Fire Burst Scroll that he had hid there years ago. Unfortunately Happosai's handwriting is illegible to the point where even he can’t read it. He was interrupted from trying to translate the scroll by Ranma. He explained what the scroll was while lying that it was encrypted so that none but the most worthy could decipher it.

Happosai was honestly impressed when Ranma came to him having figured out that he was the one who gave Hinako her abilityto absorb chi from her opponents, and shoot it back. While he wasn’t willing to give Ranma the same ability, he offered to show him how to take it away. This worried Ranma since Happosai told that she couldn't live without it, but he assured him that was no longer the case. What Ranma was really there for was to get everything Happosai had on the body's energy system. In exchange he’d give him the deciphered Happo Daikarin scroll.

Happosai had been trying to steal Grenda’s underwear while she was in the shower and since she wasn’t wearing her glasses she ended up turning him to stone when she caught him. When she told the other’s that he was only in a sort of suspended animation they decided to leave him that way for awhile.
