Ep. 6: Kodachi, die schwarze Rose

6

The Furinkan High girls' rhythmic gymnastics team has an upcoming match with Kodachi, a student from the St. Bacchus School in a fight of martial arts rhythmic gymnastics in one week. The team appeals to Akane to fill in for them as they believe only she can take on the yet-to-be-defeated Kodachi, to which Akane agrees. That night, Kodachi breaks into the Tendo Dojo, wanting to swiftly eliminate Akane before the upcoming match. Kodachi fails to do so, but before leaving, she encounters and desperately falls in love with Ranma. The next morning, Kodachi declares to Akane that Ranma will be the prize in their upcoming gymnastics battle. They also learn that Kodachi is the younger sister of upperclassman Kuno. Akane trains for the upcoming match with help from Ranma and Ryoga, as her abilities at rhythmic gymnastics improve gradually. The night before the match however, Akane ends up tripping and injuring her leg, leaving her unable to compete. With no last-minute substitute available, Ranma is (unwillingly) turned into his female form by Ryoga in order to fill in for Akane. (Source: Wikipedia)
