The official site of the anime Ranma ½ published the first images and synopsis of episode 18, which will be issued on November 9 at 12:55 am. (JST). This chapter will present for the first time a Happosai, the teacher of Soun and Genma, who causes chaos in the lives of the protagonists. The character will be played by Kazuhiko Inoue, known for his roles in Naruto (Kakashi Hatake) and Yuu☆Yuu☆Hakusho (Hey).
In the episode, Happosai decides to train Ranma Saotome as its successor in the style of Free Combat Martial Arts- but his selfish behavior soon drives all the residents of the Tendou family crazy. After being challenged by Ranma, the master easily defeats him and expels him from the home as punishment, forcing him to go on a “training trip”. However, when Ranma tries to get revenge, something unexpected happens to the old man.
A classic that returns with new energy
The new adaptation of Ranma ½ continue reliving the most emblematic moments of the original manga Rumiko Takahashi. With a mixture of romantic comedy and martial arts, the series follows Ranma, a young man who transforms into a girl upon contact with cold water, and his fiancée Akane Tendou, while they face situations as absurd as they are endearing.
A legacy that endures
The original version of the anime aired between 1989 and 1992, followed by several films and OVAs that consolidated its global popularity. In 2011, the story was also adapted into a live-action drama starring Yui Aragaki. With the premiere of episode 18, the series continues to expand its universe and reintroduce the most beloved characters of this iconic '90s comedy.
