Chapter
147: 聖刀満願丸
Seito Manganmaru
(When You Wish upon a Sword)
Kuno travels to a remote temple and pulls the legendary Wishbringer sword from its stone. The sword is able to grant three wishes, and as soon as Kuno arrives back in Nerima he encounters Ranma. Kuno uses his first wish to "humble" Ranma. The sword changes into a mallet, and while Ranma stares in amazement Kuno smashes his head. Ranma quickly tells his father of the magical sword and the two hatch a scheme to steal it and use it to remove their curses. Kuno tells Nabiki about how he was the one destined to remove the sword and his classmates worry when he says he can use the sword to take over the world. Luckily Kuno has a much more simple second wish- a date with the Pigtailed Girl. At that moment a letter from her arrives asking Kuno out as part of Ranma's plan to steal the sword.
Chapter
148: 野望のデート
Yabo no deto
(May I Cut In?)
Ranma, Genma, Akane and Nabiki sit around talking about what Ranma should wear for his date with Kuno. Nabiki tells Akane the date probably will not go smoothly. Akane begins to have visions of Kuno drugging Ranma so he can have his way with her. The next morning the Pigtailed Girl is awakened at 4:05 AM to start her date with Kuno. Kuno takes her to the beach to watch the sunrise and run in the surf. Genma quickly realizes that Kuno has used two wishes and that only he or Ranma can be wished free of their curse. Genma manages to steal the sword but when he uses it the sword refuses since he is not the proper owner.

Ranma confidently bets the front porch and loses too. Slowly Soun manages to lose most of the house, but Nabiki steps in after he loses her room begins to turn the tables on the King. The Tendo girls then realize that King can only defeat elementary school kids (and Soun and Ranma). At Okonomiyaki Ucchan's Ranma is working off all the IOUs he lost when training with Ukyo. Ranma tells Ukyo he is going to stay with her until he can win back the dojo, but when they get back from the public baths they find the rest of the family has had to move in since the King cheated and beat Nabiki.
