Senshi Ranger White sniffed, "B- but, we just want to do it like you do! That's your favorite move, isn't it?"
"But I don't use it ta blow stuff up!" Ranma shrieked hysterically, "I swear, I don't know how I got myself inta this!"
Senshi Ranger Yellow volunteered perkily, "I do! I do! Right after you first saw us...
*****Flashback*****
"Aw, no! I ain't gettin' in no monkey suit! Ain't no real fighter ever wore one of these things!"
The Invincible Overlord sighed. Genma had a lot to answer for regarding the boy's education. "Don't worry, Ranma, m'boy. You do get to wear a mask!"
Ranma held up the mask with two fingers while looking at it in distaste. "Ya call this a mask? Looks more like a pair o' glasses after a high-speed collision with a parakeet."
"My research department assures me that it will mesh perfectly with the image you're to project."
Ranma looked at the rest of the gear, and shuddered.
"Uh-huh. You keep talkin' about this 'research department'. What the heck kind a research department is it?"
The Overlord rubbed his chin with one hand, and then said, "Well, you do remember my secret cabinet of advisors?"
"Ya mean that kindergarten class overseas? 'Slow-poke Elms', or somethin' like that? Place called Citysburg?"
*ahem* "Yes, well, that was a bit of a mistranslation. I'd send them my plans as storytime hour, and see what they thought. Turns out they've been growing up, and I'd like to give them a bit of a reward for all the help they've been through the years. Especially this one girl named 'Foam', or some such."
"She one a them Amazons? Good fighters, but some really crazy customs. Kept tryin' ta kiss me alla the time..."
"Well, maybe, maybe not. I'm told she's a very nice girl."

"Whaddya mean I don't get ta fight?!"
The director crossed his arms and glared at Ranma. "Well, the problem with these first episodes was that you kept on defeating the monsters yourself. The girls never got a chance to fight at all."
Ranma was indignant. "Yeah, so? I'm supposed ta be keepin' everyone safe, ain't I?"
"But if the girls never get a chance to fight, then we never get to show off the giant robots, or anything else. That means that we don't get the free advertising, and that means we don't get the toy sales, or the action figures-"
Ranma broke in. "And that's another thing! What's up with those action figures? Pull that friggin' string on mine an' it says stuff that's just plain embarassin'!"
"What is it now? I don't see anything wrong with it." the director shot back.
"Callin' out my attack was one thing, but they named my cane the 'Staff of Love'!! Do you have any idea what an attack with that sounds like?"
