Chapter 93: 一瞬の恋
Isshun no koi
(One Moment to Love)
Cologne explains that the bracelet contains three pills that will make the person that swallows them instantly fall in love with whomever the first member of the opposite sex is that they see. Ranma accidentally swallows one and falls in love with Cologne. He begs her to marry him, but the effects wear off almost immediately. Cologne explains that each pill has a different duration: an instant, a day, and a lifetime. Shampoo realizes this is her chance to win Ranma over forever, and she seduces Happosai and steals the bracelet away. While Ranma is sleeping she tries to drop the pill in his mouth, but it ricochet's off his head and into Akane's mouth.

Dare ga horeru ka
(I Won't Fall in Love!)
Akane swallows one of the pills and Cologne tells her not to worry, because it is only the day pill. Akane decides she can wear a blindfold for one day, and then walks off. Cologne tells Ranma she made a mistake and that Akane swallowed the lifetime pill. Ranma sets out to find Akane before Happosai, Ryoga, or Kuno get into her field of vision. When he tries to save her from Happosai, he forces her head underwater nearly drowning her. Thanks to that, Akane chokes up the pill, which is then swallowed by an octopus that falls in love with Happosai.

Notes:
  • The game Akane wins is called "garapon" (ガラポン). Many stores have these wooden machines loaded with marbe sized balls in order to give away promotional prizes to their customers. Typically if you spend a certain amount in the store you get to turn the crank to see if you win a prize (denoted by getting a certain color ball).
  • Akane proves to be incredibly lucky at garapon. Not only does she win a prize in this chapter she also wins in chapter 158 and chapter 361.
  • Rinne Rokudo also wins at garapon in Kyokai no Rinne chapter 389.
