Chapter
27: この手ははなさない
Kono te wa hanasanai
(I'll Never Let Go)
Mikado and Azusa execute their finishing manuever, the Goodbye Whirl. All skating pairs before Ranma and Akane have been defeated by this technique, but they manage to hang on, and rather than let Akane hit the wall, Ranma takes the brunt of the crash. Soon Ranma manages to get back up even though he is in a lot of pain. Ryoga, watching from the sidelines, turns off the lights and jumps into the rink intending to splash Ranma and throw him out so he can pair up with Akane. Instead he splashes Ranma and gets rid of Akane. Now female Ranma and Ryoga are about to take on the Golden Pair.
Chapter
28: 背水の陣
Haisui no jin
(Burning the Bridges)
The crowd gets restless because Furinkan High seems to have slipped a new pair into the competition. Not only do Ryoga and Ranma not get along on the ice, they keep hitting each other and their outfits do not look good. After a quick clothing change, the match resumes, but not for long as Ryoga never bothered to learn how to skate properly. Mikado and Azusa take advantage of this and once again execute the Goodbye Whirl. This team is less fortunate however since Ryoga has no honorable intentions of protecting Ranma from getting hurt. Luckily for Ranma, Mikado comes to his rescue after Ryoga gets thrown to the ice. Ranma manages to get away from Mikado but Ryoga is on his last nerve and sends an ice-shattering punch through the rink. The ice breaks up and Ryoga realizes he is standing over a swimming pool filled with ice-cold water. If he falls and turns into P-chan with Akane watching, he will never be able to take her from Ranma.

Ai no mizubashira
(The Waters of Love)
Ryoga and Ranma continue to go at it while Mikado is carried out on a stretcher. Azusa decides she likes Mikado's blanket and takes it while smashing him in the head with a folding chair. Akane decides she has seen enough and crawls across the broken up ice demanding that Ranma and Ryoga stop fighting. Soon though, she loses her balance and falls into the water. Ranma and Ryoga learn that Akane cannot swim and both dive in to save her. Ranma, already a girl, is unaffected by the cold water, but Ryoga transforms into P-chan. Luckily for him, Akane was unconcious. In the infirmary Ranma explains how Ryoga and P-chan both saved Akane and that she should thank them both. Suddenly the wall begins to cave in and a strange Chinese girl from Ranma's past is standing before them.

Now Ranma had to fight Shampoo and he (currently a she) knocks her out with one kick. Shampoo's Amazon law states that if any woman should defeat her in combat she must give them the Kiss of Death and pursue them to the ends of the earth until she kills them. Shampoo chases the Saotome's across China and now to Japan. Ranma and Akane head back to the Tendo home where they find Shampoo waiting. Thankfully for Ranma he is now a boy and Shampoo does not recognize him. Shampoo tries to fight Akane, but Ranma steps in and accidently defeats Shampoo again, this time as a boy. According to Shampoo's Amazon law any boy that defeats her becomes her fiance, and now Ranma has an amourous Chinese girl that loves and hates him all at once.

Chapter
34: 必殺シャンプー
Hissatsu Shampoo
(Shampoo Cleans Up)
Ranma tries to figure out what could make Akane forget all about him. She seems to remember everything except him, even P-chan and Mr. Saotome. Ryoga was beside her when it happened (as P-chan) and Ranma threatens to let some girls see him naked unless he talks. Ryoga says all he saw were Shampoo's feet stepping on him. Ranma decides to let Dr. Tofu check Akane out, and he has a better idea about what happened. He explains that it is an old Chinese herbal trick using a special shampoo and certain pressure points on the head. Tofu explains that if Ranma can find the shampoo Shampoo used then he might be able to cure Akane. Ranma heads out with Akane in tow to search Nerima and shortly after they leave Dr. Tofu introduces his new nurse-in-training to Genma- Shampoo.

Chapter
36: 別了（ビエラ）
Bie ra
(Bie Liao (Goodbye))
Ranma tells Ryoga about his plan to "almost kill" female Ranma and needs Ryoga to beat him up for it to work. Ryoga will not have anything to do with helping Akane remember Ranma, until Ranma insults him one too many times. Ranma winds up beating Ryoga instead, so Genma and Soun step in and kick Ranma around a bit. Akane feels sorry for him, but Ranma gets frustrated with her and says he is sorry he ever said she was cute. This triggers something and after a few more taunts Akane's memory returns. Shampoo arrives and tries to fight Akane, but Ranma stops her. He splashes himself with cold water and changes into a girl in front of her. Ranma tells Shampoo that in reality the boy-side is a disguise and he is really a girl so he could never have a relationship with her. Shampoo leaves in tears and Ryoga asks Ranma if he is sure he did the right thing.
