A Ryoga Episode Tracked by Justin Legate This is a medley of songs from the Ranma 1/2 anime, in particular the songs most often associated with the character Ryoga Hibiki. The first song is one of the two "Ryoga's Themes," it is usually played during one of Ryoga's internal monologues, particularly those where he's mentally chastising himself for being able to get anywhere with Akane Tendo, the show's principal love interest. There is another version of this song in the show which I did not track because I couldn't figure out how to put it in without sounding redundant. "Where on Earth am I now???!!....." -Ryoga Hibiki (Ryoga has the absolute most worst sense of direction ever, often he gets lost even inside a house, trying to find the front door). The second song is the more commonly known "Ryoga's Theme," AKA Ryoga's Travelling Theme. This is the song played usually when Ryoga has decided on a course of action or is travelling (usually extremely lost). "Bakusai Tenketsu!!...(KABOOM) Oof!" -Ryoga Hibiki Bakusai Tenketsu (pronounced Box-sai-ten-kets), roughly translated as "Breaking Point," is one of Ryoga's signature fighting moves. By seeing with his mind instead of his eyes, Ryoga can detect a point on an object where he need only touch it with one finger to cause it to shatter explosively and violently. The technique doesn't work on living things, fortunately, but the force of the explosion is very strong, hence the "oof", since Ryoga is always caught in the dead center of the blast. But in training to learn this attack, Ryoga was smashed with rocks so often that it had the side effect of increasing his constitution and pain threshold to incredible heights, making him not only able to withstand the explosion of the Bakusai Tenketsu, but also makes all but the strongest punches and kicks barely even effect him. The third song is "Ranma VS. Ryoga," the theme most commonly played when these two characters are fighting, and they fight a lot. Ryoga is hell-bent on defeating Ranma Saotome in a one-on-one fight, because Ranma used to pick on him in Junior High and is largely responsible for the terrible Jusenkyo Curse that Ryoga suffers. Additionally, he believes that defeating Ranma will help him win the love of Akane. Unlike some of Ranma's other rivals, however, Ryoga has a very strong moral compass, and does not try to cheat or trick Ranma to beat him, and always insists on fair 1 on 1 declared "challenge" fights. In fact, to such a degree that during a story arc where Ranma was drained of all his strength, Ryoga protected Ranma from all his other rivals who sought to finish him off. During another story arc, Ryoga was granted such incredible strength that he could beat Ranma with 1 hand even with his eyes closed, but because it was not his OWN strength he fought with, Ryoga decided it wouldn't "count" to beat Ranma that way, and got Ranma to help him figure out how to change back to normal. (Thunderclap, rain) (Squealing noises) "If it isn't P-Chan!" - Akane Tendo "Oh, hello, Mr. P..." - Ranma Saotome "Skweeeeeaaalll..." - P-Chan, aka, Ryoga Hibiki The Fourth Song is called "Piggy Wiggy," which is the theme often played while P-Chan and Ranma are... shall we say, "horsing around." Ryoga's dark secret is that he is cursed to turn into a tiny black piglet whenever he is splashed with cold water, and only being splashed with hot water can turn him human again. Ranma knows of Ryoga's curse, but Akane does not. Akane adopted the little black pig (not knowing it was) Ryoga in his cursed form, naming it "P-Chan, P as in Pig, Chan as in small and cute!" Ranma keeps Ryoga's secret because Ryoga's morality and honor makes Ranma actually like him, and he considers Ryoga the closest thing he has to a friend, despite their rivalry over Akane and the fact that they are always fighting. However, often Ranma becomes insanely jealous of "P-Chan" because the unwitting Akane so dotes on the pig, even to the point of having it sleep with her in bed at night! Ryoga, of course, is absolutely terrified at what would happen if Akane ever found out that he is also P-Chan... (Splash) "DYEAAaahagghagghh! Hot! Hot! Hot! That was maybe just a little TOO hot!" - Ryoga Hibiki "P-Chan!....Ryoga?" Akane Tendo The last song is not in the show, it is my own interpretative combination of the first 3 songs (the Piggy Wiggy song wouldn't really mesh). The implied sound clips along with the "urgent" sound of this last song would indicate Ryoga's state of mind if Akane WAS ever to learn his secret... "WHOAAaaaaaaaarrrrghghhh!...(panting) It was just a dream! That's all it was!" - Ranma Saotome Well, of course it was. One of the enduring plot devices of the show is the extraordinary and funny ways that Ryoga (usually with Ranma's help) manages to keep Akane from learning about his cursed connection with P-Chan. Akane will never figure it out ;) -Justin Legate Visit WWW.MODARCHIVE.COM I have two other songs there, IBALRITE.XM and LITTLEDATE.IT
