Bingo! That's right. Genma has a long history of finding ways of taking advantage of any opportunity he comes across. And the great thing about his panda is that it can't talk. He's less likely to write the wrong thing
Trivia about the old show: - Ranma switched to girl trying to move Akane's memory, but it didn't work. - Genma gave Ranma a mic to amplify his insults, and kept playing back them on loop after Ryoga interrupted Ranma. That was funny!
also in the og shampoo was a carrying mountain of various bottles and ranma had to check each one lol Despite the OG having tons of filler, not all of them was bad
I haven't seen the old one in at least a decade, but I think I remember Ranma saying, "You're dumb as a brick! Your thighs are too thick! Your face makes me sick!" There was some good lines in the old dub 😂
Another thing about Shampoo is she comes from a traditional village where honor pride and material arts are a huge deal. As a material artist and a woman Shampoo takes pride in both, she's everything Akane aspires to be. But Shampoo is ruthless, vicious cunning manipulative and scary she does whatever she can to get what she wants but she's just so likeable cute and a total badass you can't help but love her. It's those reasons despite her cunning ruthless nature she's beautiful and an incredible martial artist a perfect match for Ranma in a hypothetical sense of Akane wasn't around which is why she's a potential romantic threat.
To be honest if you truly think about the psyche of the characters the one that is more concerning than Shampoo is Kodachi, I mean Shampoo does a lot of concerning things but she grew up in a village in where people are molded physically and mentally to think that they have to do everything to win no matter what, but Kodachi grew up in a modern civilized town and still made those shady and concerning things without moral breaks 🤣
@@AraragiSenpaiSay Shampoo was raised to respect the ethics of her people. I think she really doesn't care to, but she has no real choice because of her family. Kodachi, on the other hand, was born into privilege and was never called into account for her actions. There is a filler episode in the OG anime that would have us think Tatewaki was not spoiled, but was given severe discipline. He went on to become the de facto head of his clan and has some responsibilities. He is the most trustworthy Kuno. His unreality is at least rooted in fictionalized tales of heroes and noble-in-character gentlemen
@@tomdouge6618 Of course, Kodachi was spoiled in her childhood but still, she is expected to have better behavior than the Amazonians however she acts the same or even worse than Shampoo considering their learning process. That´s funny though, at least for me, I also remember that filler episode that you mentioned 🤣
@@AraragiSenpaiSay Then you know how much Kodachi takes after a certain someone, far more so than her brother. I think she resents not only being the second in line for the inheritance but less qualified simply because she's female. That may well have been what motivated her to be aggressive. She at least lacks the killer instinct Shampoo has. But that is probably only because she's basically a coward. We don't see her getting into many battles with her rivals, martial artists in their own right
Trust me this won't be the last we see of Shampoo this was just her introduction of who she is and what she's capable like Ryoga she's a potential threat in Martial Arts and in Love and with the season 2 announcement there's more surprises to come
@@KanadeLapis It sounds like you don't yet know what happens in the next episode - and, boy, is it special! I won't spoil it for you, but I'll just say it is only Ranma that finds her uncute - and for a really good bad reason
@@adrimarsink Okay, you're right. But I doubt the animators are going to spend as much time on the not-Sasuke character as they can. I think they'll sneak Shampoo in. All it takes is a cameo
Ranma shows his love for Akane in so many ways here. He did all in his hands , and even more , just to keep her safety and to get her memories back. Shampoo doesnt have real feelings for him . She meet him just 2 days ago people. Shampoo is all about her culture. And Laws. Also Ranma doesnt like her. He likes the way she treat him. And inn the last episode he asmits " if Akane was so affectionate with me". He doesnt like girls crying and he feels bad about it. He had the same attitud with Kodachi
Definitely agree. A cute, capable girl fawning over you feels great, and feeling bad if that girl cried because of you are natural reactions but that doesn't mean Ranma likes her in that way. His eyes are only on Akane and it remains that way as the series goes on. He is flattered by the attention but he was clear that he wanted it to come from the girl he loves! All the crazy things that the other love rivals try to do to tear them apart just serves to get them closer and I love seeing it unfold 😂
I agree. Though I think Shampoo may well like Ranma for the same reason Kodachi was first attracted to him: They never had the chance to meet boy as skilled as he is, one because she was basically isolated in a matriarchal group and, for Kodachi, in an all-girls school
@@アリス-p2o Akane is a horrible person and she is ugly. Shampoo is a great fighter and attractive which is why Ranma still thinks about her and can't take his mind off her. The season even ends with him thinking about her
@@hafidb4934 actually he feels bad for Kodachi. But she reply fast she is not going to let him go. So he had no time for feel sad about it. Ranma is a guy who doesnt like women crying. Then he said in japonés, about shampoo," its a bit of waste." Cause he liked the atention the affection but as he said also "if only Akabe was straightfoward with me" he wants these attention from Akane. Not shampoo. Thats all. Akane is an amazing girl. The manga is all about ranma loving her and she loving him. Thats the story. End
Shampoo never intended to kill Akane''s pet pig. It was a challenge to maximize her response! Her plan was to prove to her that she couldn't beat her in a battle and, so, she should - literally - forget about her man! Formula 110 and 119 shampoos are puns: In Japan they are the phone numbers of (110) the police and (119) the fire department and emergencies. And, yes, a head massage was part of the special technique. Shiatsu is acupressure and the only one of their number who knows so much about acupuncture that it's written on his clinic's sign is Toufuu. If Kasumi hadn't addled his brain, he would have surely told Ranma and company that
I'm enjoying the remake a lot but I noticed that it's missing the comedic and drama vibe of the OG. Like the part when Ranma calling Akane uncute, the OG had panda randomly DJocking Ranma's recorded voice that made me LMAO. And the scene when Shampoo cried had more feels.. At first I thought it was just the nostalgia but after watching the OG again, it still retain the same vibe that I enjoyed. and yes i know it wasn't in the manga so they didn't adapt that but it was a cool addition in the anime
This wraps up Season 1, same with the OG series, although the OG English dubbed by Viz media had more funny, witty lines. Shampoo leaves for now, but will come back again Season 2, along with more crazy characters, funnier plot twists, and more hilarious secrets. Season 2 will be a roller coaster ride.
Genma knows that his panda form is his most likeable trait.
Bingo! That's right. Genma has a long history of finding ways of taking advantage of any opportunity he comes across. And the great thing about his panda is that it can't talk. He's less likely to write the wrong thing
As for the meta reason, panda Genma was probably just more fun to draw. 😄
@@0okamino And more eye-catching for the reader/viewer

I was hoping they would kept the Panda playing the same key on a synthesizer which came out of nowhere.

Everybody’s gonna luv shampoo sum more when she reveals her cuteness on the next episode.
Nope! Not in the next episode. And Shampoo definitely loses her cuteness factor to Ranma
@@tomdouge6618 she never loses anything, she will always be the best
@@KanadeLapis It sounds like you don't yet know what happens in the next episode - and, boy, is it special! I won't spoil it for you, but I'll just say it is only Ranma that finds her uncute - and for a really good bad reason
Not at the next episode (in the beginning of S2). The reboot follows the manga, so a new character is introduced before Shampoo returns.

The Chinese Amazon village has a strict "no doors" policy. They're very open access.
After a few days with Shampoo, the Tendo Dojo will have a strict "no more walls" policy.
Nobody brainwashes like Shampoo.
