help Ranma ½ Super FAQ
What stories are adapted in Ranma ½ Super?
The Super OVAs adapt later manga adventures, including the cave said to break up couples and the story of an evil oni. They feature established rivals such as Shampoo, Ukyo Kuonji, Mousse, and Ryoga Hibiki rather than introducing a new long-running plot.
Why do Shampoo and Ukyo take Ranma and Akane to the breakup cave?
Shampoo and Ukyo hope the cave's legend will separate Ranma Saotome from Akane Tendo. Shampoo also sees an opportunity to rid herself of Mousse, but the cave's pair-based obstacles make everyone's romantic schemes more complicated.
Does Ranma still transform in the Super OVAs?
Yes, the Jusenkyo curse remains central to the comedy: cold water changes Ranma into a girl, and hot water changes him back. Other cursed characters, including Shampoo and Mousse, retain their familiar animal transformations.
Should Ranma ½ Super be watched before the earlier OVAs?
Super comes from the later part of the original OVA run and assumes that viewers already know the large supporting cast. Watching the television series or earlier OVAs first provides the context for Ranma and Akane's engagement and their rivals' competing romances.
