Plot
All 22 episodes of the second TV series!!

Disc 1
It's tough enough turning into a li'l black piglet when splashed with cold water, but imagine a transformed Ryoga being kidnapped by some crazed pair of figure skaters and offered up as a trophy! Meanwhile, Ranma's got trouble too when some stranger shows up at his door, claiming Ranma as his own, and demanding Ranma marry his daughter so that the two can carry on the "Daikoku School of Martial Arts Restaurant Takeout." (Someone's going to need to be taken out here, that's for sure.) And that's not even mentioning Ranma's newly revealed pathological fear…

Disc 2
It's more in-law trouble for Ranma when Shampoo's great grandmama comes to town with just one thing on her mind: Help make an honest woman of her great granddaughter! Close upon the spry old lady's heels come one of the Shampoo's suitors, as well - the myopic Mousse, master of hidden weapons and (duck!) all things avian. The end of his own "girl" troubles may indeed be waiting for Ranma at the end of a "date" with Shampoo, but will he be able to convince "the Ghoul" (as Ranma calls her great-grandmother) to give up the ghost and cough up the cure?

Disc 3
Directionally challenged Ryoga comes back from a trip to discover Ranma's been dousing himself with doses of Cologne, Shampoo's great-grandmother (so she does have a name!). The bakusai tenketsu or "Breaking Point" technique may give Ryoga the edge he needs to defeat his rival, but there's a far worse threat on the horizon… Akane's cooking! Later, Ranma's summoned to the circus by Mousse, who intends to splash Ranma's intended with water from the same spring that brought on Mousse's avian transformation. Better do as he says, Ranma - Mousse isn't above a little fowl play to get what he wants!

Disc 4
Of all the troubles, the travails, the terrors and the tragedies the Tendo Dojo has had to endure, the latest arrival is by far the most frightening. Meet Happosai, Soun and Genma's erstwhile master, spry old goat and lecher at large! A fabled "Japanese Jusenkyo" said to be located on the Kuno Estate may help with other problems, but who can think with that midget menace around? There's nothing more Ranma would rather say than "goodbye, girl-type," but without the help of Happosai, Ranma may keep having "girl troubles" for a long, long time…

Disc 5
Ranma's stomach is put to the test when Akane demands that he eat the quote-unquote cookies she's whipped up in her "home blecch" class. Once Kodachi (Kuno's twisted sister) starts demanding he eat her cookies, too, Ranma must choose: Swallow his pride and eat, or get sliced 'n' diced by both chefs! Back in the drama department, Akane is o'er the moon with joy when she lands the role of Juliet in an upcoming play. Kissing may be such sweet sorrow, but being peeped-on by Happosai at a public bathhouse is somehow so much sadder…
