Episode 9 of the anime "Ranma 1/2" - "I won't let go of this hand" - A terrifying breakup of a couple!?

The ninth episode of the completely new anime version of Rumiko Takahashi's smash hit manga Ranma 1/2, "I Won't Let Go of This Hand," will air on Nippon TV on November 23rd. The series was originally broadcast as a TV anime from 1989 to 1992, and this is the first time it has been adapted into a TV anime in about 32 years. The new anime is also attracting attention for the fact that the voice actors, including Yamaguchi Kappei as Saotome Ranma, Hayashibara Megumi as Ranma, and Hidaka Noriko as Tendo Akane, will be reprising their roles. On the day of the fighting pair skating competition, the battle between P-chan and Akane for their lips begins. Azusa and Sanzenin plan to separate Ranma and Akane with their special move, the terrifying couple-breaking "Merry-go-round of farewell," but Ranma does not let go of Akane's hand and is injured while shielding her. Meanwhile, P-chan, who was supposed to be chained to her, suddenly disappears. Ranma 1/2 was serialized in the manga magazine Weekly Shonen Sunday (Shogakukan) from 1987 to 1996 by Takahashi, who is also known for Urusei Yatsura and Maison Ikkoku. It depicts the hectic daily life of high school martial artist Ranma Saotome, who turns into a woman when splashed with water, and his fiancee Akane Tendo. While training in the indiscriminate fighting style with his father Genma, Ranma develops a unique constitution in which he turns into a woman when splashed with water and turns back into a man when splashed with hot water in China. When Ranma returns to Japan, he and his son end up staying with Genma's best friend, Soun Tendo, and by chance, he becomes engaged to Soun's daughter, Akane. In addition to the theatrical anime version, an original video animation (OVA) was also produced. A TV anime series was broadcast on Fuji TV and other networks from 1989 to 1992, and a live-action TV drama starring Aragaki Yui, Kaku Kento, and Natsuna aired in December 2011, which also garnered attention. The new anime, the first in 32 years, will be directed by Uda Konosuke, who has worked on "One Piece," and will be produced by MAPPA, which has worked on "Jujutsu Kaisen" and "Chainsaw Man." It is currently airing on Nippon TV every Saturday at 12:55 a.m.
