“Part 1: The Evil Wakes”

In "Part 1: The Evil Wakes," Ranma 1/2 #6 (1996) kicks off a wild new arc as Genma and Soun stage a fake threat of a "Dojo Destroyer" to bring Ranma and Akane together—only for the danger to become terrifyingly real. With Shampoo arriving with a mysterious formula that could make Ranma a man for good, the stakes rise fast: he must choose to date her on the day of the battle, or risk losing his chance forever. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Gerard Jones, Toshifumi Yoshida, and Matt Thorn, and illustrated by Takahashi with inks by Wayne Truman, this issue features a cover by Rumiko Takahashi and Viz Graphics.

Genma and Soun concoct a ruse about a "Dojo Destroyer" to draw Ranma and Akane closer. Then a real Dojo Destroyer shows up. Then Shampoo shows up with a formula that can turn Ranma into a man permanently, but only if he dates Shampoo the day of the battle with the Dojo Destroyer.
