Akane had NOT knocked Ranma into Low Earth Orbit, as she loudly insisted. All she'd done was throw him out the window for falling asleep while doing homework.
Which had apparently been right into Mousse's latest attempt to woo Shampoo, which was the creation of an original Hidden Weapons technique - Rocket's Red Glare. Unfortunately the missile had gone off, and the last anyone had seen of Ranma he had been clinging to the missile and heading somewhere in the direction of Mount Fuji.
