Ranma 1/2: Ranma Forever - Someday, Somehow... (V.8)

The final 4 episodes!

It's not easy being a teenaged martial artist named Ranma Saotome, but it's even worse when your martial artist father Genma takes you from home at an early age to go on a decade-long training mission. He doesn't speak a word of Chinese, and yet he insists on bringing you to the cursed training ground known as Jusenkyo, where falling into one of the many springs instantly turns you into whoever - or whatever - drowned there last. And then, the two of you have this little ACCIDENT...

"A Ninja's Dog is Black and White"
Ryoga (in his usual, directionless way) comes upon a peculiarly colored dog making a stand against a pack of wolves deep in the forest of ... somewhere. After chasing the pack off, Ryoga makes camp, confiding in the black and white dog his feelings for Akane. But when the dog takes a love letter which was never meant to be sent, Ryoga has to get that letter back - one way or another!

"The Tendo Dragon Legend"
When Ranma and Akane encounter a strange, seahorse-like creature in a puddle of water, they decide to take it back home to the Tendo Dojo. Even as it's being identified by Dr. Tofu as a legendary dragon of awesome powers, there are those coming after it - including the Frog Hermit of previous episodes. Can it be that this so-called legend can cure certain curses afflicting certain houseguests in the Dojo?

"Boy Meets Mom, Part 1"
Word arrives at the Dojo that Ranma's mother - his little-seen, long longed-for mother - is coming for a visit. Everyone's excited... except for a highly agitated Genma, who insists he and Ranma leave - immediately! - for another training journey. Not having seen his mother for so long, naturally Ranma's against going... but then Genma makes a shocking confession...

"Boy Meets Mom, Part 2: Someday, Somehow..."Having learned of his father's long ago death-pact with his mother which states that he, Ranma, be either reared as man among men or be put to the sword (along with his father!), Ranma struggles desperately to avoid a seemingly all-but-inescapable fate. Can Akane's intervention with Ranma's bushido-minded mama prevent the inevitable, or has Genma made his last mistake... ever!?
