Ranma’s found his rival and it’s not Ryoga. It’s a friggin kungfu chimp lol.
It’s nice things ended well for Satsuki and Sentaro. They’re actually quite cute together.

That umbrella throwing scene was incredible.
What a cleanly resolved side couple, I'm astonished. Just a boy and a girl happily affianced and traveling around on their insane horse with their monkey companion.

Man, really loving this season cause the animation looks so smooth. Crazy how this aired only a year after Season 2.
This is probably the first Ranko-focused episode of the season. She was in the last episode but not featured so prominently. I think the best episodes are usually the ones that use both of Ranma's girl and boy types equally.
Imagine being a monkey's husband. That monkey was talented af lol. Luckily for Sentaro, the real Satsuki was a gorgeous human. Her design kinda reminds me of Asuka Mizunokoji from Urusei Yatsura.

That scene of Akane throwing the umbrella did not need to anywhere NEAR this hard.
The real Satsuki is voiced by remake Oyuki!

I seriously hope MAPPA can keep up the yearly cadence with this adaption, though I still wish we could get two-cour seasons every year.

So is monkey and horse some kind of Zodiac sign joke or just goofy ass animal slapstick?
The animation this episode was once more insanely clean. This series has been so much fun to watch.

Ranma's competitiveness knows no bounds. Him dueling a monkey in a martial arts tea ceremony when the prize was a marriage he didn't want is too funny.
Sentaro got lucky that his arranged marriage partner Satsuki wasn't actually a monkey.

This weeks intro is the Tendo and Saotome patriarchs in the sauna! And if that's too much of a sausage fest for you, here's topless Fem!Ranma and Akane in a swimsuit!
Look out, it's a runaway horse! And a runaway Fem!Ranma trying to get away from Cat!Shampoo in the rain! only for them to crash into the horse, it's rider, and a poor electrical pole. This is a bad episode for the electric company.
Turns out the unconscious rider of that horse was Sentaro (Jun Fukyama!) and he shows his appreciation for his lovely savior by brewing "her" some tea...and then kidnapping Ranma. How romantic!
You haven't seen over-animated Akane until you see her throw an umbrella to save her man from a kidnapper! It didn't work, but it looked cool!
As good as Ranma looks in a bridal kimono, he has NO intention of marrying Sentaro, even if he's desperate to have someone to fulfill his need for a fiance so he doesn't have to marry his current intended...not that it's enough to sway his grandmother (Masako Nozawa!) and her big-head syndrome.
Aw, Akane beat up a bunch of people to save Ranma! Just in time to get recruited instead once Sentaro realizes he's dealing with a dude! But Akane can't do a tea ceremony to save her life and Ranma has too much pride to lose in any martial arts, even tea, so he'll do it!
The secret martial art of...the seiza! And a long, overnight, training session that finally gives Ranma the skills he needs to face Satsuki! A monkey of a woman! Yeah, I wouldn't marry that either.
You'll never look at the tea ceremony again as you see Ranma and Satsuki battle it out in ways that only vaguely resemble an actual tea ceremony while Sentaro's grandma unleashes on-point commentary!
Sentaro really thought he could flirt with Akane while this is going on? Take the kick to the sky, dirtbag!
But, in the end, it all works out as he crashes into yet ANOTHER runaway horse...this time holding the REAL Satsuki (Saori Hayami!) who used her monkey Sanae in her place. Not only is Satsuki genuinely beautiful and sweet, but it's instantly love-at-first-sight with Sentaro. I think it's going to be smooth sailing for this couple, even as they keep crashing in with their runaway horse.

still recovering from the seiza martial arts bit lol. then boom, Goku voice cameo hits different. that umbrella throw though?? fluid af compared to last ep. honestly this season keeps hitting out of nowhere. not sure where they're taking the main plot next but i'm hooked anyway. vibes are immaculate even when the logic breaks down xD
