The strongest characters in Ranma 1/2

Your loved ones as the latest reboot begins Ranma 1/2 The manga and anime series created by writer Rumiko Takahashi is known for its unique blend of martial arts, comedy, and supernatural metaphors. The story is set in a world where characters can change gender and shape by simply spraying water on them. Additionally, the series features rather unique characters, each with unique abilities and characteristics.

From the hot Ranma Saotome to the fearsome Akane Tendo, the characters display hilarious antics and impressive martial arts skills. Therefore, in this piece, we will be ranking the most powerful characters in the Ranma ½ series, taking into account their combat power, special skills, and overall impact on the series. So, in this regard, the strongest characters of the famous 90s series are:

10 Kuonji Ukyo

Ranma's main fiancé No.2

• age: 16
• Jusenkyo Curse: Not applicable
• Animation Debut: Episode 41

One of Ranma's three fiancés, Ukyo Kuonji is Ranma's childhood friend and one of his many rivals. Ukyo, who grew up as an okonomiyaki chef under his father, is determined to become the world's best okonomiyaki chef. Aiming for the top spot in his culinary ambitions, Ukyo is also quite a talented martial artist with a style based on okonomiyaki cooking.

Ukyo's ranking of strengths in using food-based techniques against her opponents is somewhat controversial, despite being without a doubt one of the strongest female characters within the series. Rarely seen fighting without a spatula, Ukyo defeated Ranma's father, Genma, when she was first introduced in the series, which she considers her greatest achievement.

9 Akane Tendo

Ranma's main fiancé No.1

• age: 16
• Jusenkyo Curse: Not applicable
• Animation Debut: Episode 01

One of the successors to the Tendo line of Anything Goes Martial Arts and Ranma's reluctant fiancée, Akane is potentially one of the more talented martial artists in the series. Although sometimes short-tempered, compassionate Akane is a somewhat vulnerable teenage girl when she's not stubborn. Practicing any martial art, Akane is one of the strongest fighters within the series, although she is sometimes considered weak due to the much more amazing feats performed by other characters on this list.

But her fight compares to no one's. However, unlike other strong characters, Akane trains sparingly, as she has repeatedly shown that her martial arts are not the most important thing in her life. This directly refers to the gap between Akane's physical abilities, which are far beyond those of a normal human, and other characters such as Ranma, Ryoga, and Happosai.

8 Tatewaki Kuno

Kendo club manager

• age: 17
• Jusenkyo Curse: Not applicable
• Animation Debut: Episode 02

One of Ranma's many rivals, Tatewaki Kuno is the son of Principal Kuno and one of Akane Tendo's suitors. Highly confident in himself, Tatewaki is the captain of Furinkan High School's kendo club and was once recognized as the school's strongest fighter. That is, before Ranma.

Initially considered a legitimate threat to Ranma, Tatewaki flounders in the strength category due to his physical weakness compared to the others. However, he still does enough to earn his place by mastering kendo. Known for his impressive speed, Tatewaki was still unable to use unarmed combat techniques, which greatly hindered his growth as a martial artist.

7 pantyhose tarot

pantyhose monster

• age: 18
• Jusenkyo Curse: Human and Yeti-Bull-Crane-Eel-Octopus
• Animation Debut: Episode 103

Taro, the central villain of the series, is sadistic and ruthless. Taro, who is essentially the embodiment of the most evil and evil tendencies, is very intolerant towards Ranma, as Ranma always makes fun of him. Taro prefers to rely on his powerful curse form, the most powerful Jusenkyo curse in the series.

Although the Tarot has overwhelming power compared to the other candidates on this list, the Tarot is virtually invincible. This is because Happosai can defeat Taro with one punch. Additionally, Taro's preference for the cursed form is due to the need to mask his sub-par fighting abilities in human form, which mostly justifies his low placement.

6 mousse

four-eyed amazon

• age: 17
• Jusenkyo Curse: humans are ducks
• Animation Debut: Episode 23

Another of Ranma's ever-growing list of rivals, Mousse is from the Chinese Amazon and is in love with his childhood friend Shampoo. Mousse embodies his love for shampoo into an obsession, to which the latter is very uninterested. As a martial artist, Mousse is a versatile martial artist, capable of using multiple martial arts while being proficient with virtually any weapon.

Mousse specializes in the Joketsuzoku style used by other Amazons such as Shampoo and Cologne, and possesses superhuman strength, speed, and stamina. However, despite his promising martial arts talents, Moose is severely limited by his poor eyesight, even when wearing glasses.

5 cologne

Chinese Amazon leader

• age: 300-400
• Jusenkyo Curse: Not applicable
• Animation Debut: Episode 21

Cologne, the leader of the Chinese Amazons and Shampoo's great-grandmother, is one of the oldest characters in the series, which directly contributes to her being one of the strongest characters. While there isn't much of note in terms of her personality, the series does a good job of showing that the only character that can compare to Cologne in terms of pure skill is Ranma's master, Happosai.

As the Grandmaster of the Chinese Amazons, Cologne knows and is skilled in various martial arts such as Happosai and Genma. However, Ranma has long surpassed both teachers and seems to be in full battle mode. Certain characters, including Ranma and Ryoga, are just beyond her. Even in her old age, her strength weakened. However, throughout the series, Cologne remain a force to be reckoned with.

4 shampoo

Ranma's main fiancé No.3

• age: 16
• Jusenkyo Curse: From human to cat
• Animation Debut: Episode 15

The great-granddaughter of Shampoo, the leader of the Chinese Amazons, is also one of Ranma's three fiancees. Shampoo, who was raised in the martial arts style of Joketsuzoku by her master Cologne at a young age, is skilled in various martial arts forms and is the village's female champion.

Ranma overpowers her, but considering how she can naturally walk on reinforced stone walls, it's not a stretch to call her one of the strongest characters in the series. The evil and cunning Shampoo shows his opponents that he is not above cunning. However, in terms of powers, Shampoo still performs better compared to other characters in the series, even though she tends to unconsciously downplay her abilities.

3 Happosai

Anything is possible Founder of martial arts

• age: 300-400
• Jusenkyo Curse: Not applicable
• Animation Debut: Episode 33

Happosai, the founder of any martial art, is the teacher of Genma Saotome and Soun Tendo, the fathers of the series' protagonists. Notorious for his variety of martial arts and constant metamorphosis, Happosai is one of the oldest characters in the series, if not the oldest. Old age may have waned his powers, but Happosai still remains one of the most fearsome characters in the series.

He's a pretty lewd and dirty old man, but his placement is centuries old, so it only goes so far. Through martial arts, Happosai is skilled in a variety of techniques and has shown the greatest power in the series aside from Yamata no Orochi and Saffron. No matter how strong Happosai is, his main weakness is that he is rarely serious in any encounter and is easily distracted by women.

2 Hibiki Ryoga

Ranma's eternal rival

• age: 16
• Jusenkyo Curse: From human to piglet
• Animation Debut: Episode 07

Ranma Saotome's eternal rival, Ryoga Hibiki, is the only character that Ranma explicitly acknowledges as both a rival and a friend. By implication, Ryoga is one of the strongest fighters in the series. Surprisingly, Ryoga's martial arts appear to be self-taught. Despite this, he is also a somewhat superior martial artist compared to Ranma, with several defeats and draws.

Given the slight gap between the two, his record on the protagonist is reason enough to get his placement. Ryoga is considered stronger and stronger than Ranma, but suffers more from his weaknesses than the protagonist, placing him slightly below Ranma.

1 Saotome Ranma

successor to martial arts

• age: 16
• Jusenkyo Curse: spring of the drowned girl
• Animation Debut: Episode 01

Ranma Saotome, the heir to the Saotome branch of the Whatever Martial Arts taught by Happosai, is the main character of the series and the only daughter of Saotome Genma and Nodoka. Ranma, who has quite a variety of personalities, is a protagonist who gets along well with everyone. As a martial artist, he is very confident in his abilities, having started training in any martial arts way from the age of two. Extremely versatile in skill, as evidenced by his style, Ranma's strength comes from his unpredictable ability to do what is necessary to overwhelm his opponents.

However, Ranma's strengths when it comes to raw power are portrayed inconsistently, though it is stated that he is only defeated by Ryoga, who at his peak can lift thousands of tons. In addition to delivering 518 strikes within seconds, this also means superhuman strength and speed. He takes the top spot because of his high potential, despite still being one of the strongest within the series.
