Trivia about the old show: - Ranma switched to girl trying to move Akane's memory, but it didn't work. - Genma gave Ranma a mic to amplify his insults, and kept playing back them on loop after Ryoga interrupted Ranma. That was funny!
also in the og shampoo was a carrying mountain of various bottles and ranma had to check each one lol Despite the OG having tons of filler, not all of them was bad
I haven't seen the old one in at least a decade, but I think I remember Ranma saying, "You're dumb as a brick! Your thighs are too thick! Your face makes me sick!" There was some good lines in the old dub 😂
Another thing about Shampoo is she comes from a traditional village where honor pride and material arts are a huge deal. As a material artist and a woman Shampoo takes pride in both, she's everything Akane aspires to be. But Shampoo is ruthless, vicious cunning manipulative and scary she does whatever she can to get what she wants but she's just so likeable cute and a total badass you can't help but love her. It's those reasons despite her cunning ruthless nature she's beautiful and an incredible martial artist a perfect match for Ranma in a hypothetical sense of Akane wasn't around which is why she's a potential romantic threat.
To be honest if you truly think about the psyche of the characters the one that is more concerning than Shampoo is Kodachi, I mean Shampoo does a lot of concerning things but she grew up in a village in where people are molded physically and mentally to think that they have to do everything to win no matter what, but Kodachi grew up in a modern civilized town and still made those shady and concerning things without moral breaks 🤣
@@AraragiSenpaiSay Shampoo was raised to respect the ethics of her people. I think she really doesn't care to, but she has no real choice because of her family. Kodachi, on the other hand, was born into privilege and was never called into account for her actions. There is a filler episode in the OG anime that would have us think Tatewaki was not spoiled, but was given severe discipline. He went on to become the de facto head of his clan and has some responsibilities. He is the most trustworthy Kuno. His unreality is at least rooted in fictionalized tales of heroes and noble-in-character gentlemen
@@tomdouge6618 Of course, Kodachi was spoiled in her childhood but still, she is expected to have better behavior than the Amazonians however she acts the same or even worse than Shampoo considering their learning process. That´s funny though, at least for me, I also remember that filler episode that you mentioned 🤣
@@AraragiSenpaiSay Then you know how much Kodachi takes after a certain someone, far more so than her brother. I think she resents not only being the second in line for the inheritance but less qualified simply because she's female. That may well have been what motivated her to be aggressive. She at least lacks the killer instinct Shampoo has. But that is probably only because she's basically a coward. We don't see her getting into many battles with her rivals, martial artists in their own right
Bingo! That's right. Genma has a long history of finding ways of taking advantage of any opportunity he comes across. And the great thing about his panda is that it can't talk. He's less likely to write the wrong thing
Trust me this won't be the last we see of Shampoo this was just her introduction of who she is and what she's capable like Ryoga she's a potential threat in Martial Arts and in Love and with the season 2 announcement there's more surprises to come
Ranma shows his love for Akane in so many ways here. He did all in his hands , and even more , just to keep her safety and to get her memories back. Shampoo doesnt have real feelings for him . She meet him just 2 days ago people. Shampoo is all about her culture. And Laws. Also Ranma doesnt like her. He likes the way she treat him. And inn the last episode he asmits " if Akane was so affectionate with me". He doesnt like girls crying and he feels bad about it. He had the same attitud with Kodachi
Definitely agree. A cute, capable girl fawning over you feels great, and feeling bad if that girl cried because of you are natural reactions but that doesn't mean Ranma likes her in that way. His eyes are only on Akane and it remains that way as the series goes on. He is flattered by the attention but he was clear that he wanted it to come from the girl he loves! All the crazy things that the other love rivals try to do to tear them apart just serves to get them closer and I love seeing it unfold 😂
I agree. Though I think Shampoo may well like Ranma for the same reason Kodachi was first attracted to him: They never had the chance to meet boy as skilled as he is, one because she was basically isolated in a matriarchal group and, for Kodachi, in an all-girls school
@@アリス-p2o Akane is a horrible person and she is ugly. Shampoo is a great fighter and attractive which is why Ranma still thinks about her and can't take his mind off her. The season even ends with him thinking about her
@@hafidb4934 actually he feels bad for Kodachi. But she reply fast she is not going to let him go. So he had no time for feel sad about it. Ranma is a guy who doesnt like women crying. Then he said in japonés, about shampoo," its a bit of waste." Cause he liked the atention the affection but as he said also "if only Akabe was straightfoward with me" he wants these attention from Akane. Not shampoo. Thats all. Akane is an amazing girl. The manga is all about ranma loving her and she loving him. Thats the story. End
@@KanadeLapis It sounds like you don't yet know what happens in the next episode - and, boy, is it special! I won't spoil it for you, but I'll just say it is only Ranma that finds her uncute - and for a really good bad reason
@@adrimarsink Okay, you're right. But I doubt the animators are going to spend as much time on the not-Sasuke character as they can. I think they'll sneak Shampoo in. All it takes is a cameo
I think my favorite part about Ranma including the graphic novels is that nobody outside of the people directly involved in the current plot have any animus for the villains. They just view it as teenager stuff or gossip material
I'm enjoying the remake a lot but I noticed that it's missing the comedic and drama vibe of the OG. Like the part when Ranma calling Akane uncute, the OG had panda randomly DJocking Ranma's recorded voice that made me LMAO. And the scene when Shampoo cried had more feels.. At first I thought it was just the nostalgia but after watching the OG again, it still retain the same vibe that I enjoyed. and yes i know it wasn't in the manga so they didn't adapt that but it was a cool addition in the anime
Shampoo never intended to kill Akane''s pet pig. It was a challenge to maximize her response! Her plan was to prove to her that she couldn't beat her in a battle and, so, she should - literally - forget about her man! Formula 110 and 119 shampoos are puns: In Japan they are the phone numbers of (110) the police and (119) the fire department and emergencies. And, yes, a head massage was part of the special technique. Shiatsu is acupressure and the only one of their number who knows so much about acupuncture that it's written on his clinic's sign is Toufuu. If Kasumi hadn't addled his brain, he would have surely told Ranma and company that
Shampoo didn't know P-Chan was Akane's pet. Later you see her acting to Cologne trying to cook him with surprise. As in, she has to recall that the pig was Akane's before reacting and try to prevent him getting boiled(and at that point, she didn't know he as Ryoga either)
@@roskiart8750 Why would Shampoo capture the pig and prepare it and take it to where both Ranma and Akane were? It makes more sense if she had a plan like a said she had. And she didn't kill the pig because she was also testing how her "airen" would react - Dramatically, it turned out. Better not to kill Akane...yet. Shampoo first had to make herself more important to Ranma than her rival. And Akane forgetting about him could have helped with that, too. "Airen, here is attention for you...Ahh-yeah!" As for when her reunion after the one you shouldn't mention by name, yet: Shampoo thinks about Shampoo (if she can get away with it). P-chan was no longer important to her and so struggled to recall that the pig was Akane's. And she tried to prevent the pig from being boiled because she remembered her (future-)"husband's" reaction. It would be a sword of Damocles hanging over her tribe's plans if/when Ranma found out that they ate the thing Isn't Ryouga fortunate that those that knew about the Accused Springs of Juusenkyo - the guide and you-know-who - thought to boil him. Shampoo didn't know, or she wouldn't have had that reaction when she saw Ranma change and lied to her about really being a girl
@tomdouge6618 Why would she, You ask? For the same reason a lot of things happen in the manga: it's funny because it's outrageous. Actually think about it for a second: By that point, Shampoo hadn't seen Akane with P Chan. Seriously, before this point, Shampoo hadn't ever even seen P Chan, the entire hypothesis falls apart by this single point. The fact someone from the mountains is capable of hunting her own food isn't particularly out of place, so seeing a bite sized pig and thinking "good present for Airen" is a perfectly suitable possibility.
@@roskiart8750 A "Good present for Airen" would have been a good pork lunch to prove she'd be a good wife by being a good cook. She certainly presented the pig as if she had cooked it - complete with a cloche over the platter of a complete meal. Yet it wasn't cooked You are right about it being funny because it's funny. But it reminds me of a comment about a Chas. Addams gag panel where the Addams Family are on their balcony tipping a cauldron of boiling oil over carolers: It's funny until the oil scalds the innocents below. Ranma's and Akane's reactions to her 'gift' showed that sentiment Shampoo was trained to be a warrior. She was in unfamiliar ground and it would make sense for her to keep her targets under surveillance to gain information. Absence of evidence did not mean it did not occur. She slipped into Ranma's room while he slept. But Akane had also been sleeping and she liked to do it with P-chan cuddled up to her. (She could well have entertained the idea of killing Akane that night)
@@tomdouge6618 ". She certainly presented the pig as if she had cooked it - complete with a cloche over the platter of a complete meal. Yet it wasn't cooked" Or, again, the entire point is the comedy of the situation. Unless it's important for the story, these characters brush off lethal damage all the time. The series runs on slapstick, Shampoo is estalbished as skilled but not very socially aware (she enters the scene through the rfreaking wall), and the comedy of the whole thing is dependant on the fact this situation is pissing on Akane's personal life in multiple levels. Shampoo just butted in her life in increasingly (if unintentionally) intrusive ways and that's funny. Then they become decidedly intentional, sure, but so far there's no reason to think she knew. "It's funny until the oil scalds the innocents below. Ranma's and Akane's reactions to her 'gift' showed that sentiment" No, Ranma and Akane's reaction is what sells the joke. (This series has made jokes out of freaking sepukku ffs). I don't think the term you're very familiar with the term black comedy, which the Addams Family strips(as well as other versions of the characters) frequently use. The situation is messed up, but it's played for laughs anyway. "Absence of evidence did not mean it did not occur." Flat out bullshit logic right there. As in, applied to ANYTHING that's terrible reasoning no person should EVER subscribe to, fundamentally fallacious logic, but even worse here. If we got no showcase of Shampoo knowing P-Chan, as an audience we got no REASON to think she knows P-Chan. Unless shown, something in a work of fiction doesn't exist. Absence of evidence doesn't mean Lum, Inuyasha, or fuck it, Yoh Asakura aren't part of the same universe, right? That's not how it works. Ever considered Shampoo just spared Akane to mock her? There's other alternate interpretations to her actions that don't depend on accepting your premises and hold as much water with in universe evidence. You have an assumption of what happened, not a fool proof case. You never did.
This wraps up Season 1, same with the OG series, although the OG English dubbed by Viz media had more funny, witty lines. Shampoo leaves for now, but will come back again Season 2, along with more crazy characters, funnier plot twists, and more hilarious secrets. Season 2 will be a roller coaster ride.
Trivia about the old show:
- Ranma switched to girl trying to move Akane's memory, but it didn't work.
- Genma gave Ranma a mic to amplify his insults, and kept playing back them on loop after Ryoga interrupted Ranma. That was funny!
also in the og shampoo was a carrying mountain of various bottles and ranma had to check each one lol
Despite the OG having tons of filler, not all of them was bad
I haven't seen the old one in at least a decade, but I think I remember Ranma saying, "You're dumb as a brick! Your thighs are too thick! Your face makes me sick!" There was some good lines in the old dub 😂
I was hoping they would kept the Panda playing the same key on a synthesizer which came out of nowhere.

The tribe's need for martial arts skills are revealed in far later chapters of the manga when we meet some from the neighboring tribes
