Ranma's New Day: Honorable Warrior [Episode 169267]

by Kender

For Ranma, the idea of becoming a samurai wasn't exactly a good thing. That wasn't because he had something against weapon users, since he'd used such things from time to time. Nor was it due to any dislike of the group themselves, since being descended from a samurai wasn't exactly a bad thing. He certainly could respect the people who had been samurai in the past, as they had been warriors who'd fought and died with an open and uncluttered direction to their way of thinking. In fact, he had little to no problem with the samurai themselves at all.

His problem was the reaction that one Tatewaki Kuno would give if he saw his girl side appear as a samurai.

Not that Ranma-chan had much of a choice at the moment, as people were in trouble at the moment, so she had to do something. That wasn't to say that she liked the outfit either, as it was only remotely related to the original concept of a samurai.

Having something to fight with seemed like a good idea, and given what had already popped up, she was happy to have more reach, since that would mean that she would gain precious seconds to get away from those jerks if something came up.

She was now 'Magical Samurai Guardian Meiyo', and as much as she'd prefer to not have to deal with a lot of the issues that this could bring up, she understood that she had to do it. It was up to her, and if she didn't take care of it... she would get involved anyway. As it was, Akane and several other girls had already been caught up in it, and she didn't want to have to leave it to someone else, who might be an individual who'd make it worse.
