Shapeshifter Mode Lock: Difference between revisions

 

== Anime & Manga ==

** In an early story, Ranma was the victim of a [[Pressure Point]] attack called the [[Meaningful Name|Full Body Cat's Tongue]], which made him unable to bear hot water -- the trigger to turn him male -- thereby locking him into his girl mode until the cure was found. In at least the anime version, this resulted in a [[Twisted Knee Collapse]] once [[Old Master|Cologne]] told him about it, and vowed he would be cured if only he agreed to [[Accidental Marriage|honor his engagement]] to [[Chinese Girl|Shampoo]].

** In an arc in the manga we find out someone with the same curse as Ranma has been locked into cursed form by the water from a magical pail and is looking for the cure. Later, when Ranma pisses him/her off in a fight, he uses it on Ranma. Mousse and Ryoga go with Ranma planning to use it on themselves while in human form to effectively remove the curse, but since it works by splashing you with cold water, you'll always be in cursed form when the Mode Lock take effect.

Realizing he was set up, Sinister injected "her" with a destabilizing agent, the only antidote for which was to take away her powers completely.
