Well, there was that Drow priestess who'd wanted to sacrifice him to Lloth, but that was also the time that it was discovered that an alliance of little girls could apparently smack around an evil priestess in rather cute ways.
All in all, Ranma was a fairly popular young boy. Why, he had known at least three girls aiming to be clerics, an apprentice demonslayer, and a princess all before he'd gotten to count his age in double digits!
