Ideas/Assessment
One of the vital despicable characters in all of anime and manga arrives in Ranma 1/2 18. Happosai is such an annoying, irritating character. Clearly, Takahashi-sensei thought his sexual assault antics had been humorous. However even once I watched the unique Ranma 1/2 adaptation in Japan, even with out understanding what was stated, I discovered the character simply stupidly irritating.
Usually, I don’t examine the manga vs. the anime adaptation for this collection. However after I watched the episode, one factor was clear to me. This Happosai was HEAVILY toned down on his antics. As such, I went to the supply manga, beginning with chapter 63. Within the manga, when Happosai assaults girls, he does so by gripping their breasts and rubbing his face in there. Within the anime, he’s simply rubbing on their again, or in Ranma-chan’s case, the lined leg.
Second, Happosai steals panties. That’s his foremost pastime. The entire panty stealing was faraway from the episode. Whereas the aspect of Happosai wanting Ranma-chan to put on a bra was stored, the competitors components had been all eliminated. As such, issues like chapter 65 the place Happosai is within the bathhouse doing his antics are minimize. The one aspect of Happosai stealing panties that remained was him discovering Akane’s stash. Even that’s toned down.
Even the rationale Ranma will get kicked out of the Tendou residence was modified. Within the manga, it needed to do with Ranma defeating Happosai to return the huge pile of woman’s underwear he stole. Ranma leaves voluntarily to attempt to de-escalate the scenario.
I’m of two minds on these modifications. On one hand, a much less irritating Happosai is best for my psychological well being. Alternatively, not solely are we destroying the supply materials with these modifications, however modern-day crowds could have no clue to simply how horrible of a personality Happosai is. Within the manga chapters tailored for this episode, he was 100 instances worse than on this episode.
Remaining Ideas and Conclusion
Let me wrap up my evaluate of Ranma 1/2 18 with some remaining ideas.
Apart from Genma saying Ranma is his inheritor, all the “Happosai is Ranma’s new grasp” is minimize as nicely. A part of the entire battle between Happosai and Ranma is his refusal to just accept Happosai as his martial arts grasp.
Ryouga leaving for journeys faraway from the episode as nicely. It had not escaped my consideration that P-chan would typically be seen in episodes even when Ryouga was not. Within the manga, P-chan’s absence would all the time be attributed to him occurring one other coaching journey (and getting misplaced). That’s why it stood out to me that abruptly, Ryouga would go away his P-chan kind and get entangled.
For these questioning, this episode lined supply manga chapters 63, a few pages of 64, 66, a few pages of 67, 68, and 69.
In the long run, the nerfed Happosai isn’t practically as annoying or irritating, making the episode simpler to observe. On the similar time, this removes a vital a part of the character. Properly, hopefully he’s not within the subsequent episode.
You’ll be able to skip to the top and go away a response. Pinging is at present not allowed.
