[Episode 178022] [Episode 178022]"I think Ranma is so used to suffering, that's he can't feel pleasure without it."
"So, you're saying Ranma is a, a... ."
"A "masochist"? Is that the word you're looking for, Akane?" Kasumi asked.
"He really is a pervert!?!"
"Hey!! I'll pervert you!" Ranma threatened Nabiki, her small hands balled near her naked boobs.
"He could become one, but he isn't yet," Nabiki dared 'him' to strike, by pushing out her own naked boobs a bit. "Answer me this, Ranma. What's your greatest pleasure?"
"Martial arts, of course!"
"And that, of course, involves a lot of long, hard, even grueling physical effort and being able to take a lot of abuse, aches and pain. I know I'm right. Why do you think I gave it up." She gestured to her (pain in the) ass.
"That's because you'd rather be a soft coward." She moved her puffed out chest to close to touching the middle sister's.
"There you go: You, Ranma, have to be hard and brave. That doesn't sound like my idea of pleasure." She casually tapped one of the redhead's hard nipples.
"Hey!!" Ranma retreated a couple of inches.
"Nabiki, Ranma does other things, too! He's not all fighter! He, uh, he gets real pleasure from, uh..."
"I eat!"
"Oh, my, doesn't he," Kasumi smiled, her nipples becoming larger.
"Ranma wolfs his food. He does not linger over it, he does not savor it, he could not tell you if Kasumi added too much salt or too little sugar."
"Well, I never! ...Well, almost never." Kasumi's nipples became smaller.
"The only enjoyment in eating for Ranma is just having food to eat."
"Oh, yeah!? You're wrong, Nabiki: What about my sweet tooth, huh!?! Hah!" 'He' crossed his arms over his breasts.
"Okay, there's that. There's also the point that you have to become a girl to indulge yourself. Come to think of it, the only times I remember seeing you just have fun was as a girl. Fun, as of the "Yin" type, not the "Yang" type. Where you don't think of what pleases anybody but yourself."
"Does that make me a Yang-type?" Kasumi wondered. "I don't like suffering, though."
"The "Yang"-type doesn't necessarily like suffering, Kaumi; just Ranma's."
"So what did you mean by Yin and Yang: Ranma and Others?" Kasumi asked.
"No, in that context, I was saying that Ranma's compulsion to suffer is in his dark and selfish Yin side, while Ranma's desire to keep others from suffering in is his his good and altruistic Yang side."
"I'm still confused. Oh, my: When you divide everything into two catagories, too many different things become mixed together at the same time. It makes for a bad stew. If the Heavens were a true cook, she wouldn't do that."
"Scientific terminology can be less confusing."
"Not to me. I prefer recipes."
"Stop that, you two!" Akane ordered, stomping and jiggling. "-Nabiki, what you're saying about Ranma is not true! Don't try playing your word games, trying to get us to believe something that isn't really true," Akane defended Ranma.
"Perhaps. But I think that his girl-form is the chink in Ranma's life-time conditioning for martial arts stoicism. I'm betting that the only pleasure he is capable of getting without suffering is as a female."
"Hey, you were saying I couldn't have one without the other!" Ranma threatened to go bare-chest-to-bare-chest, again, with the confusing sister.
"As a guy, yes. As a girl, the more you act like a one, the more pure, unsufferable pleasure you can have."
"So...Ranma can only...not(?) be a pervert when he's...a girl?" Akane asked, one arm wrapped across her chest, the other on her chin.
"Oh, my..." Kasumi sighed, feeling another burden was about to be placed on her soft shoulders, "...it sounds like I'm going to be called on to judge yet another bet."
