"Anything Goes" Screenshots: Captain Chaotica!!'s Season Two Ranma 1/2 Pics!





Well! Here's where we keep the Second Season stuff. And what a year it was, too! The introductions of Cologne, Mousse, Happosai, the return of Shampoo, the Cat Cafe, Martial-Arts Figure Skating, the Breaking Point and MORE! So come on down and stay a while, ya hear?

Images from the Theme Song and Intro (Opening)

Meet Ranma Saotome--BOTH of him!
Akane on a hillside I just like this shot for no reason.
"I didn't ask for this!"/"Who ASKED you?!" Akane and Ranma really get along so well, don't they?
Mousse, from the opening theme song, with girl-Ranma running in the foreground. This theme song, like the Season 1 opening before it, does a LOT of foreshadowing by showing you characters before they've even been introduced....not that that's a BAD thing!
Shampoo, from the opening credits The great champion of the Chinese Amazon warrior-women! Personally, I woulda thought an Amazon would've been a little bit less cutesy-poo, but hey...

The Abduction of P-Chan!


Azusa Shiratori Meet Azusa Shiratori, the female half of the Golden Pair of Martial-Arts Figure Skating from Kohlkoz High School and one of the most OBNOXIOUS characters in all of Ranma 1/2. She's Marrissa Picard in disguise, I swear. Don't even TRY to tell me otherwise. GAG.
P-Chan is Pignapped! Oh, no! Poor P-Chan! Or should I say..."Charlotte"?! (CHARLOTTE? Azusa didn't even bother to find out if he was a girl piggy or a boy piggy before she named "her new pet", did she? Ryoga is NEVER gonna live this one down...)
The Golden Pair, together. Azusa is TOO short. Doesn't she look more like a little girl done up as a woman instead of an actual woman, or is it just me? There's just something Lolita-complex-ish WRONG about her looks, I think...
The Golden Pair again, wearing more normal clothes this time, but looking sparkly and, well.....golden.
Ranma is MAD at Mikado for hitting on Akane, though he'd rather gouge his own eyes out than admit it, his expression speaks VOLUMES in this picture. This is NOT a happy boy. But if he thinks he's angry NOW...just WAIT until you see what Mikado does to him LATER...!
Ryoga Hibiki Wants YOU! I don't know what's up with all this recruiting in Nerima all of a sudden...hee hee hee...
Stare-down! Akane and Azusa face off over who is the proper owner of "Charlotte"/P-Chan.
Whooooaaaahhh!! AAAAA! Ranma, after bragging that he's just so WONDERFUL at ice-skating....flails his arms around and shrieks like a wuss in terror at the idea of even trying to STAND UP on the ice...
Ryoga Falls Down on the Job Ryoga, after bragging similarly, shares the same fate...one step onto the ice and SPLAT, with his butt up in the air! Notice the crowd-people staring in the background...
"I'm a girl right now, okay?" Ranma is so scared/humiliated by trying to skate that he starts crying...awww...
Mikado "Rescues" Ranma Feeling sorry for this poor scared girl who keeps falling down...or is that, feeling HORNY for this rather busty red-headed girl whom he hasn't seen before...? Mikado the "gentleman" picks up Ranma before she can fall again.
Ranma's First Kiss! GYAAAHHHH!!! It's from a GUY! First time he's ever kissed on the lips, and it's a GUY! A jerky guy, too! Ranma is NOT happy.
Akane's Reaction Akane isn't too happy either, it seems...(and P-Chan's revolted too!)
Ranma is PISSED! In the HOT baths, after turning back into a guy, Ranma clenches his fists and swears REVENGE on Mikado Sanzenin! (Who, let's be fair, won't be that happy EITHER when he finds out exactly what he just kissed...) Allow me to make a snide comment here and say...Oh, yeah, he's a man. He's ALL man, bay-beh. Mrrrow. Mousse may be my favourite but...oh my. Pigtailed boy ain't bad either! :)

Episode 2: Close Call! The Dance of Death--On Ice!


Tuxedo Mikado! Here Mikado preens in front of the mirror after dressing up in his formal outfit for the match. Nice threads, but if he starts tossing red roses at monsters and Shampoo bleaches her hair blonde, I'm OUTTA here...
"If you lay one finger on Akane, I'll sling your lady-killin' butt straight into a COFFIN!" In this shocking moment, Ranma gets as angry as he has ever been and threatens to actually KILL someone! Namely, Mikado. Not that I blame him but WHOAH...!

Episode 3: P-Chan Explodes! The Icy Fountain of Love.


Ouch! Ranma survives the Couple-Cleaver...but just BARELY...
"Are you all right?" Akane, worried, leans over the broken-bodied Ranma.
New Couple! Furinken High slips in a "new couple" in the form of GIRL-Ranma and Ryoga Hibiki! Strangely enough, as bubbleheaded as she is, Azusa figures out who Ryoga is pretty quickly!

Episode 4: Clash of the Delivery Girls! The Martial-Arts Takeout Race!


Rock-a-bye Ranma, on the seashore... AWWWW! Baby-Ranma! Isn't he just so CUTE?! Aww. Boojie-boojie!
Kaori, Ranma's FOURTH Fiancee?! Only according to the anime, in the manga it's still "only" three. I really disliked how they mangled the Fast-Food Takeout Race storyline by putting it in entirely the wrong time-period and making up an entire other sub-plot for it, BUT, I include this picture of Kaori because I think she looks almost EXACTLY like an anime version of....ME! (Ukyo is close, but Kaori's RIGHT on the money.)

Episode 5: You Really DO Hate Cats!


Meow? A mysterious package from China...and this is what came out! AWWW, how cuuuuutttee! (Ranma may hate cats, but I LOVE 'em!) Even knowing who this really is, I can't help but think she's adorable...I want to get a lilac-point Siamese kitty and name it Xian Puu, dangit! But I'm sure some other Ranma-fan has already thought of and done that, somewhere...
HISSSS!! The new kitty is MAD at Akane...gee, wonder why...?
"Get it off me!" Cute little Siamese kitty greets Ranma by jumping on top of him, whether he's willing or not.
"Would you guys stop usin' me as your shield?!" Ranma, facing the huge tiger, is being glomped by countless cats who are just as scared of the big one as he is! Awww...!
MRRROOOWW! Ranma goes Cat-Fist (Nekoken)--he surrenders completely to his fear of cats and BECOMES a cat himself!
Ranma's up a tree! Aww, look at the cute little cat-boy, washing himself...
The perfect scratching post! Kitty-Ranma claims the tree as his own.
Kitten-boy! When Ranma was really little and would go this way, the only person who could calm him down was an old lady who lived nearby. Here, he's purring on her lap.
RRRROOOWWWWLLL!! Genma's attempt to calm Ranma down by dressing up as the old lady meet with...shall we say...less than successful results...
Akane's "cat" curls up on her lap. Awwww! Ranma, as a cat, thinking like an animal, just instinctively decides that Akane is the one who's all right. That must mean he has feelings for her, deep inside...
(Yeah, I got a lot of pictures of this. Ranma makes an ADORABLE kitty, so sue me!)

Episode 6: This Old Gal's the Leader of the Amazon Tribe!

HELP! THERE'S A GIRL IN MY BATH!! Aiyaa! Ranma's new kitty-cat jumps into the bath with him and turns into a girl! (Talk about your compromising situations...) Shampoo's BACK and this time...she's out for marriage, not blood!
Don't mess with an Amazon queen, boy! Ranma THINKS he's gotten the best of Cologne...and then with one tiny poke in the right spot of his body, she gets him back a thousandfold! But he doesn't know the true horror of it YET...

Episode 7: Behold! The Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire Technique!
One Beef-Bowl Ramen, Comin' Up! Ranma works as a "waitress" at Shampoo's new restaurant, the Cat Cafe, in order to get ahold of the Phoenix Pill.
"Look what I got!" Ranma dangles the medallion that he THINKS contains the Phoenix Pill, which will allow him to change back into a guy. BZZZT! Wrong! Thank you for playing, try again!

Episode Eight: Enter Mousse! The Fist of the White Swan!


Ranma-kun A nice shot of our star's boy form, with a sorta confused expression.
Ranma-chanA pretty shot of his feminine side, from the opening credits of Season Two, again.
Akane, his first fiancee. Yeah, these pictures are sorta generic and could be from almost any episode. The reason they're here is that "Fist of the White Swan!" was the first episode that I was ever ABLE to take screenshots from, so I took some nice close-ups of main characters just as practice. But they're still NICE, I don't wanna get rid of them or nothin', so...
Akane and her older sister, Nabiki. Two of my favourite female characters.
The whole Tendo family--Nabiki, Akane, Kasumi, and, in the back, their father, Soun.
Genma Saotome, Ranma's father, gives Ranma a rather overenthusiastic noogie--much to Ranma's dismay.
Shampoo runs Ranma over on her bicycle, but she MEANS it in a friendly way. I apologise for the quality. These fast-motion shots are hard to capture correctly.
The Kunos...Tatewaki, who is called by his LAST name, and Kodachi Kuno, his (poisoning psycho-bitch) sister. (Not that she's a bad CHARACTER...just not a very nice PERSON.)
Dr. Tofu, the local chiropractor. Smart and competent at all times--except when Kasumi is there or even talking to him over the phone, at which point he becomes a major menace to himself and others! Fun character.
Tofu again?! I wanted meatloaf! (Okay, stupid joke.) Another nice shot of the good doctor, this time, looking a bit on the angry side.
Akane talks on the phone to Dr. Tofu. Another shot that I just like for artistic reasons...
Enter Mousse! And of course coming all the way from China would make a person hungry so the very first thing he does is...eat Ranma's lunch? (I know this screenshot isn't terribly clear, but trust me, he's holding a bowl and chopsticks.)
Here he finishes eating the ramen, with a lovely close-up. Oh, those long-lashed eyes...purr...
The Fist of the White Swan may have an awesome NAME....but this picture shows the rather dorky reality.
"I have come for YOU, Shampoo!" Unfortunately, he's pointing at Akane instead. He's REALLY nearsighted.
UNBELIEVABLY so, in fact. And Ranma-boy is NOT HAPPY! (_I_ wouldn't mind if Mousse swept ME into a big cuddly passionate embrace, though...)
Shampoo hugs Ranma--in his GIRL form. What a bad influence this cartoon is on our young viewers. It's evil. EEEEVVVIILLL!!! First we get a boy-couple hugging, now two girls! AAAAAHHH!!
(In case you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic.)
Shampoo kisses Ranma, from the opening credits. He seduces not only WOMEN...
Kuno hugs girl-Ranma during the fight...but men as well!
Akane deals with her anger the usual way...
Ranma sews himself a very nice robe in no time flat. Geez, he's more feminine than his own fiancee!
"Ranma, prepare to DIE!" Mousse grabs a random person in the crowd, thinking he's threatening Ranma, when his opponent starts to be late...Notice his glasses are off...
Ranma is now VERY late and Mousse is UPSET!! "AAAAARRRGGGHHH!!! HE'S LATE! I'm gonna RIP that Ranma's STUPID HEAD OFF!" Okay, who hid duck-boy's Prozac...?
YAAAAHH!! What did _I_ do?! This shot of Mousse attempting to rip girl-Ranma into tiny shreds is from the theme song, and again, I apologise for the poor quality.
Ranma models his new robe, made specifically before the fight to make fun of Mousse. He considers him to be all flash and no substance, when it comes to fighting. He's about to be proven violently wrong...
Shouldn't have made him mad, Ranma...--NOW you got ropes around your NECK! Heh heh heh.
"Now I know what you want". Yeah, _I_ want it, Mousse-baby, right over HERE, yeah! Whoo-hoo! Moussie! Anyway. (wipes away puddle of drool.) Duck-boy rips his robes off to prove Ranma VERY WRONG about his level of strength...
"Time to put away our...tricks! Time to fight with BODIES alone!" Pardon my drooling, but I can think of plenty OTHER things I'd want to do with THAT body besides FIGHT it, mmm-hmm! (And notice which finger he's using to push his glasses back up his nose...a little insult to Ranma, perhaps? Perhaps nothin', he's doin' that on PURPOSE! Bad boy!)
Ranma "turns into a girl"by keeping her voluminous, body-hiding robe on until the most dramatic possible moment. Mousse still thinks it's just a disguise, even after he rips the leotard open! (No, I'm NOT putting up a picture of THAT, you hentais!)
Ranma has PISSED MOUSSE OFF and learns that this is NOT a smart thing to do...
"Ya want 'em?" Taking his glasses IS, however, a smart thing to do.
"I wonder if my Pearle Vision warranty covers THIS?!" Kodachi, on a murderous rampage after the "wretched obstacle to reunion with her love" (aka girl-Ranma), stomps on Mousse's glasses and snaps 'em in half! Poor guy...
Good for us, however, because now we get to see his beautiful body AND his beautiful face, both totally undisguised. MrrrrOW! Bay-beh! Excuse me while I pass out...
Ranma wins, of course eventually, because he is the star. But I'd like to point out that he won against a blind opponent who was using a fighting style he's not as used to and which IS Ranma's favourite fighting style...

Episode 9: Cool Runnings! The Race of the Snowmen!

Aiyaa! Shampoo not trophy wife! Shampoo poses in her cute little ski outfit as the "prize" for the race. Here I'd like to mention that the MANGA version originally had a hot, tropical, ocean, BEACH theme, it was a MELON-carrying race, not snowmen, and the "prize" was originally posing wearing a swimsuit! And Cologne attacked with a shark made out of water not a bear made out of ice...ah, forget it. The anime revision is interesting, and it shows that the same plotline WILL work in two totally different climate settings. Still, I kinda wonder why they changed it...
The Tendo girls hit the slopes! I find it amusing that, upon trying to grab just a RANDOM shot of them in their ski-outfits, I got such characteristic facial expressions! Nabiki looks cynical, Kasumi--well, her expression just SCREAMS "Oh, my!", doesn't it...? and Akane looks MAD! I wasn't even trying for that...funny!
There's snow business like snow business... Okay, dumb joke. Anyway, here's a scene of the typical mayhem you can expect from the snowman race...
Girl against Ghoul! Cologne is DETERMINED not to let her "son-in-law" have the Phoenix Pill without a fight!
Gotcher stick! Ranma actually manages to grab Cologne's infamous staff! It doesn't slow her down much, though...
Let's go skiin' now, everybody's learnin' how... Here's a nice group shot of the Tendos skiing together as a family...awww....along with Genma of course and...SHAMPOO?!
"Marry me, Shampoo!" Whoah! Ranma decided to dump Akane and go for a lesbian wedding! No, just kidding, he's turning the Bambi-Eyes routine on Shampoo in order to get her help to defeat Cologne, is all. But it could definitely be taken the wrong way out of context. Score another prize photo for Nabiki's (or Kodachi's) blackmail-material collection!

Episode 10: "Danger in the Tendo Dojo"

The answer to Ranma's prayers?! Shampoo holds up the packet of "Instant Nanniichuan" (Spring of Drowned Boy) In case you're wondering about the words at the bottom of the screen...that's because the copy of THIS episode that I have is subtitled, not dubbed!

Episode 11: "Ranma Trains on Mount Terror!"

"Don't do it, Ryoga!" In this lovely sunset shot, Akane begs Ryoga to just run away next time Ranma attacks him, so he (Ryoga) won't get hurt. Of course, this just rips Ryoga's heart into tiny little pieces...
"It's....uh...delicious...(CHOKE)!" Ryoga tries to prove his love for Akane by eating her curry without throwing up. Man, talk about superhuman strength...

Episode 12: "The Breaking Point? Ryoga's Great Revenge!"

Bad day? Ryoga passes out cold after a hard day of training. Poor baby...awww...
"BAKUSAI...TENKETSU!!!" Ryoga FINALLY masters the legendary Amazon technique, the Breaking Point!
GET ME DOWN! Aw, geez, why do I have to be the prize EVERY single time, can't you guys compete for MONEY or something once in a while?!
"AAAAAHHH!!! NOOOOO!!!" After a hard battle of managing to AVOID the Breaking Point every single time Ryoga attempted to use it on him, Ranma gets "broken" by Cologne--and can't stop screaming with terror long enough to hear her explanation that the technique doesn't WORK on living things! Only rocks! Still, a good way to SCARE someone out of a year's growth...
"I must leave you now." Ryoga prepares to stride dramatically into the sunset...of course he'll be heading for the sunRISE before he's gone even half a mile, knowing him, but hey...

Episode 13: "The Abduction of Akane!"

Hey, I want tickets to THIS circus! The "mysterious masked man" who for some reason thinks he has kidnapped Akane--when it's actually a stuffed toy pig that he's grabbed--is revealed! Aiyaa! It's MOUSSE! Yummers, baby, come to MAMA! No wonder he got it wrong...with his glasses off, he's beautiful but totally clueless! (Not that that's a BAD thing, mind you...)
Mu-Mu-Chan, Knife-Throwing Duck Extraordinaire! Not exactly an ordinary duck...this one can sprout daggers, darts, water balloons, needles and BOMBS from its very feathers! DUCK, Ranma! (heh heh.)
"WHY YOU LITTLE...!" Ranma-chan is not at all happy about having about a gazillion knives thrown at her. Gee, I wonder why?
Hack, cough Shampoo and Akane suffer from the BACKLASH of the smoke from the bombs that the "duck" used on Ranma. Makes you wonder how bad it was to be at ground zero, huh?
After the smoke clears... Behind the tent, Ranma changes back to a guy and finds out who the duck really is--when hot water turns it into Mousse! In this picture, Mousse-baby gives us a simply delightful smugly evil smirk. Sigh....drool....faint...
"No! Sir! You not supposed train IN cursed spring!" Mousse "takes the plunge" into Yahzuniichuan and ends his life as a normal man forever...
"I'm warning you, Ranma, your end is close at hand!" Um...dude...Ranma's over there. Hee hee hee...
"Red roses for a pink kitty..." Aw, look, the ducky is giving Shampo some flowers! Too bad she'd rather smack 'im one than take 'em...
"This time I have you for SURE, Akane Tendo! Not to be crude, but it wouldn't take sleeping gas to get ME into that position! Oh, Mousse, sweep me off my feet and carry me away! Please?
(waits a minute).
Darn.

Episode 14: "Ranma Vs. Mousse: To Lose is to Win!"

Getting a bang out of life... Mousse gladly accepts one of Shampoo's many sabotaged weapons, during the fight. I apologise that I don't have more pictures from this episode; but I don't HAVE a copy of it on RealPlayer, only on tape, which I can't grab screenshots from. This shot and the other were grabbed from the COMMERCIAL for the episode at the end of Part 1!
"If the result is that Shampoo is mine...then who needs PRIDE?! Mousse does an awesome freaky move with giant blades springing out of his sleeves. YIKES! I like the pose...

Episode 16: Assault on the Girls' Locker Room!

Ranma's nearsighted?! No, just a disguise, but I think she actually looks rather NICE this way! Only an idiot would be fooled by this "disguise", though...
"Oh, Ryoga, my LOVE!" Ranma glomps Ryoga, who actually believes that it's some other girl and not him, even though the only actual "disguise" is the glasses. The hairstyle is still the same and everything. Aiyaa! Stupid pig-boy! You no hug Shampoo husband!

Episode 17: Kuno's House of Gadgets: Guests Check In, but They Don't Check Out!

"DIE!" Having had enough of the Kuno castle/mansion/dungeon's little tricks and traps, Mu-Mu-Chan and P-Chan take out their anger on Sasuke's ugly little head!
Rub a dub dub... Kuno relaxes in his home's private hot spring. I don't have a thing for Kuno but I know some Ranma fangirls who do, so, just to be fair, here's a beefcake shot of him, too. After all, it wouldn't be fair to leave him out. Ladies, enjoy!
Akane Tendo and the Mansion of Doom! Akane, followed by her trusty "pig" and "duck", explores the dungeons below Maison de Kuno.
Just another day. In this shot from the total chaos at the end of the episode, Ranma is upside-down in the hot spring, being pulled from two directions like a freakin' WISHBONE by Shampoo and Kodachi (I know you can't see her, but trust me, she's there) and Mousse yells, "SHAMPOO!!" and sweeps RYOGA into a passionate embrace! Like I said, ho, hum, just another day...
(This episode DID include a scene of Kodachi fighting Mousse. But he was a duck and the scene was too short! Tease me why don't you...grumble...)

Episode 18: Goodbye Girl-Type!

"I'm so happy I can't stop crying!" Thinking that they've FINALLY done the spell correctly to find Japan's Nanniichuan, Ranma, P-Chan and Mu-Mu-Chan cry with joy. I apologise for not getting more pictures from this episode. It was a GREAT episode, including even an almost-fight between Happosai and Cologne ("The monster who came from China vs. the greatest evil in all Japan!") BUT, most of the shots were fast-action shots and therefore too blurry to mess with. Sorry.

Episode 19: It's a Fine Line Between Pleasure and Pain

"What is she DOING in there?" The rest of the family listens in horror as Akane ATTACKS the kitchen--in other words, her version of "cooking"...
The Kuno Mansion Nice-lookin' place, so I decided to get a good shot of it from the OUTside.
Ranma and Kodachi in LUV! Hey, that's not the way it happened...
"Since you like photos so much...!" Ranma, you're gonna get severely sick if you eat all THOSE. And how the heck did she make so many copies so FAST, anyway? The woman needs serious help...
Just another day, revisitied Ranma makes the accquaintance of the Kunos' pet, "Mr. Green Turtle"...the HARD way!
"Oh, dear! I forgot!" The hell you did, you crazy poisoning psycho-bitch! Anyway, much as I don't like Kodachi I must admit she's got good fashion sense. This kimono was just too pretty NOT to take a picture of.

Episode 21: Kissing is Such Sweet Sorrow: The Taping of Akane's Lips!

Little girl! Akane, as a little kid in grade-school, getting embarrassed.
"Wait, Romeo, I can't marry you, we're both GIRLS!" To her humiliation, it seems that Akane has been thought of as an "unfeminine, uncute tomboy" ALL her life, not just recently...sigh...
Ranma, wherefore art thou, Ranma? Now THIS is more like it. Akane finally gets her childhood dream of playing Juliet, in a lovely flowing red velvet gown.
"I've got LINES?" Ranma is so intent on being Akane's Romeo that he completely forgot that a play is supposed to be about something called ACTING!
"Boy, this balcony is popular all of a sudden!" Kuno attempts to play Romeo for Akane, in place of Ranma. GOOD LUCK. I kinda like the ponytail, though...it's a new look for him! This is about the only time you'll ever see Kuno with LONG hair that I'm aware of so take a good look...
Cross-dressers of the world, unite! Of course, Ranma, being the way he is, can play BOTH main parts in Romeo and Juliet, can't he? This is getting kinda weird...
Kuno gets his Pig-Tailed Goddess! AAAAAAAACCCCKKKK!! Ranma...WILLINGLY...kissing....KUNO?!!! Tell me it's not true!! Well, it's not. But I'm not telling you what's really going on. HA-HA!
Ranma Saotome, Drunken Master! Kuno shoves about a ton of sake down Ranma's throat (where he GOT it, I don't know) and Ranma can be seen here practicing his legendary Drunken Boxing technique. (aka "Drunk-Fu" as Soun calls it.) Or maybe he's just trying not to fall over.
"Well, THAT'S a happy ending!" In the real Romeo and Juliet everybody ends up dead, of course, but in this version Akane is only "sleeping" until she can be brought back to life by a kiss from her true love...

Episode 22: Bathhouse Battle--We're in Some Hot Water Now!

Strip! Another one of those beefcake bishounen shots that I just can't seem to resist. Ranma in nothing but a leeetle towel. BWAHAHA! Call me the anti-Happosai, if you want...
