Recap of Ranma 1/2 (2024) Episode 8

This engaging episode opens with Akane enjoying an ice skating session with friends. Amidst the fun, she discovers that P-chan (Ryouga) has gone missing. In a panic, Akane seeks assistance from Ranma, only to find that a mysterious young woman has taken Ryouga, naming him Charlotte. Shortly after, a tall man intervenes, returns Ryouga to Akane, and apologizes for his partner’s actions.

As the story unfolds, we learn that Azusa Shiratori and Mikado Sanzenin are a skilled pair known for their freestyle skating at Kolkhoz High School. Azusa issues a challenge to Akane, stating that if she loses, Ryouga will be returned to her. Mikado, a notorious playboy, makes a pass at Akane, provoking Ranma to react by throwing a fishcake at Mikado, igniting a new rivalry.

The following day, Ranma (in female form) and Akane practice on ice, but Mikado and Azusa’s obnoxious behavior tests their patience. During one heated moment, Mikado seizes the opportunity to kiss a defenseless Ranma, further inciting Ranma’s anger, especially with Akane witnessing the incident. Mortified, Ranma transforms back into a male to confront Mikado, launching an impressive attack that ultimately leads to Mikado passing out after suffering numerous hits.

They don’t kiss, leaving fans yearning for more as the episode concludes with an interruption from Akane’s family, creating a poignant cliffhanger.
