It's just another day at the Tendo Anything-Goes Martial Arts Training Hall - that is, until a strange girl named Lychee and her giant elephant Jasmine arrive to settle a score with lecherous martial arts master Happosai. Apparently, a very long time ago, Happosai gave Lychee's great-grandmother half of a legendary scroll guaranteed to bring happiness to whoever was holding it. The women of Lychee's family have been waiting for three generations now, and the prince STILL hasn't come - but of course, the moment Lychee lets the scroll out of her hands, the prince finally appears. Only now it's Ranma's reluctant fiancee Akane Tendo that's holding the scroll, and the long-awaited prince is only too ready to sweep his lucky bride off her feet. Now Ranma and Co. have no choice but to follow Prince Kirin's majestic flying barge all the way to Nekonron, China, where they find themselves in a showdown with the Seven Lucky Gods of martial arts!

When poetry-spouting swordsman Tatewaki Kuno invites Ranma and Co. for a jaunt on his new luxury yacht, the last thing the group expects is a sudden storm to shipwreck them all on a deserted island. However, fixing the boat to get home soon becomes the least of their worries, as all the young girls in the group begin to disappear. As it turns out, they've been bride-napped by Prince Toma, the youthful ruler of the floating island, Togenkyo. Because of a magical spring which turns anything it touches instantly male, would-be bridegrooms have to kidnap girls...and in this case, Ranma's reluctant fiancee Akane is one of them!

When Shampoo suddenly starts treating him like garbage, Ranma pulls out every trick in the book trying to win back her affection.

After seeing Santa in a dream, Kasumi decides to hold a big Christmas party, and everyone's invited.

Kasumi falls ill, and Akane volunteers to take over the household's cooking duties using the newly discovered book of recipes left by her mother. Luckily, Mrs. Saotome arrives to assist her.

A new teacher arrives - Miss Hinako, a peculiar young girl capable of draining people's energy, turning herself into a sultry 20-something in the process. Seeing her take out Happosai with one blast, Ranma desperately wants to learn how she does it.

Shampoo and Ukyo send Akane and Ranma off to a haunted cave, rumored to permanently break up any couple that tries to make it through it. Of course, it's not like the two "love birds" need much help to start arguing...

Kuno comes into possession of a Phoenix egg, supposed to turn it's owner into an invincible warrior. It promptly hatches on his head, unleashing a vile abomination that's decided to make Ranma its mortal enemy.

As she, Shinnosuke and his grandfather are looking for the source of the water of life, Akane is determined to repay her debt to him... even at the expense of her relationship with Ranma.

A news report on TV sends Akane's mind racing back to a holiday the Tendo's had to a remote region of Japan, where she got lost and was saved from a monster by a young boy. Discovering she still has the old whistle the boy gave her to keep her 'safe from the monsters', she goes off on her own to give it back to him.

Out on the street, Akane and Ranma each hone their martial arts skills, hoping to get good enough to win back the dojo.

Two poor sisters with amazing martial art skills insist on paying back Akane through service when she shares some food with them. Since they've been living on the street, searching for their father, Soun invites them to stay for a while. Little does he realize what he's in for...
