On Ranma's first day at Furinkan High School, a group of boys — including the sophomore Kuno — ambushes Akane at the school's entrance.

With Akane injured, Ranma takes her place and stays up all night practicing. The next day, the match begins with Kodachi's usual underhanded tricks.

Ranma learns that defeating a Chinese Amazon has messy consequences. P-chan gets served up for dinner, triggering a fight between Shampoo and Akane.
