I think a funny detail about the way Ranma ended up making Ryoga fall into the cursed spring is that he (once again) jumped and hit him in the head. Just like all those other times he did the same when they were in the same school.

It's canon that Ranma's pop, Genma, tried to keep his son away from 'weak' women, afraid they will distract him from his training and contaminate his man-among-men ethos. That included his mother In other words, Ranma came into becoming a girl with hardly a clue about them

Ranma feels guilty for Ryoga’s curse that’s why he doesnt expose him. At the end of the day he bullied Ryoga every day in school that caused he followed him to China and then he was the one who pushed him not caring for his surroundings. It’s not that crazy that Ryoga holds a grudge against him.

@wagnar to be fair Ranma did accepted the challenge to set things out with him and even waited 3 entire days but Ryoga got lost, due to that he assumed that was ignored and shamed by Ranma which wasn't the case. Then he followed them to China and got curse due to that, is entirely his fault. Ranma is a a jerk sometimes that is a fact but is due to his father and the way he raised him, despite that he is too good with Ryoga if We consider that Ryoga actually wanted to kill him and not just to fight. Ryoga is someone that doesn't want to assume the blame and is easier for him to put that on Ranma.

Ryogas gonna keep challenging Ranma until they see who’s top dog. It’s the big rivalry in the anime. Also, Ryoga said the breads weren’t what he was pissed off at Ranma about nor was not waiting long enough for him to come back and duel, he just blames Ranma for his bad luck and misery he experiences from his lack of direction and yeah, even if it was an accident that lead to Ryoga being cursed, he still blames him. It’s on Ranma that he keeps Ryogas cursed form a secret so as to taunt him

This is what I love about Akane's hair when it's cut, she's like a different person a more mature and beautiful person. Notice how her long hair looked so heavy like it's a weight on her to try and act girly for her crush to notice her. Once her hair is cut, she no longer has to hide her tomboy self and she's more beautiful because of it. I also like how 3 dimensional her short hair is like you can see all sides of it from front to side to side you don't know if it's side or front. This haircut is the starting point of her and Ranma's relationship he sees her cuter side and Akane let's go of her old crush and focuses on someone who sees her for her tomboy, cuteness, short hair and all

He is also acting in the old version. (I don't remember the dog.) There was a video of him playing three roles at the same time in an old version of the anime, so I'll include the Japanese title.

The thing about Ryoga ending up cursed... Ranma was chasing Genma, post their own cursing event, and likely so, so angry that he didn't really process that it was a person he banged into. (And not unlike Episode 49 of the 1989 Anime, Genma was also here being unsafe with his surroundings and letting his son be angry at him and chase him. What happened in the filler episode in question? A head injury that could have been fatal.)

@@AraragiSenpaiSay I would agree with you about communicating but in this situation it's already blatantly obvious. It's not a "did I upset you?" talking kind of situation. You could see how torn and broken Akane was. She wasn't happy with Ranma to begin. Her hair was very important to her and losing them like that made it much worse and nothing can reverse that. Not everything was Ranma's fault to begin with, of course. Akane did butt in to the fight a lot too when she didn't have to and putting herself in harms way. In fact this situation could have been avoided if Akane didn't get too close into the fight, but that's a separate matter entirely. It happened, and Akane lost something precious to her. Also my previous reply is addressing more about the OP's general statement and less about Ranma. Ranma being inexperienced is one thing, but "as a man when we see a problem we got to solve it" has its limits too. Yes communication is important but so is reading the room.

@@faireststar Yes, the situation was obvious, but it was also obvious that Ranma felt guilty and wanted to help even if it was not entirely his fault. I mentioned his social skills and all of that because we must understand why he was checking on her so enthusiastically and the way that he did. The guy is not that good at that, and that´s all. Most men including myself when there is a problem we just want to understand the cause/reason and then find a solution but of course, We are more aware of social aspects like the example that you made, some of us know how to "read the room." Ranma is learning all of a sudden how to behave with girls, he is a teenager who spent his entire childhood learning how to be a perfect martial artist and now he has to deal with forced marriage, a curse, and a lot of things that would come in the future that most of them were caused by his father, I mean I understand Akane and how she was feeling but the boy also has a lot on his plate and just wanted to solve something that he partially caused.

The voice cast also appear many veterans. <Introduction> Ranma Saotome and Akane Tendo of the Tendo Dojo are betrothed to each other by their parents.

I understand that Ranma feels guilty for Ryoga and wants to keep his secret, but seeing Ryoga abusing the situation, anyone would say "in that case, shame on you!".
