Pantyhose Taro takes issue with Rouge's version of the story, but Rouge claims he stole something from her, which he also denies.

Ruju henshin!!
(The Other Rouge!!)
Rouge has transformed into a three-faced, six-armed monster and knocks Ranma back with a blast of hot air before flying away in search of Pantyhose Taro.

Meanwhile Akane has called the Jusenkyo Guide who tells her of the Spring of Drowned Asura, who were warlike enemies of the gods of India.

Chapter
336: "力の源"使用法
"Chikara no minamoto" shiyoho
(Source of Power: Owner's Manual)
Rouge, now a human once more, helps the Tendos rebuild their house, and says she seems to have brought them a streak of bad luck. No sooner do they have the roof patched than Pantyhose Taro comes crashing in. He shows something to Rouge in his hand and tells her it is her source of power. Rouge is willing to do anything to get them back, but Pantyhose Taro demands to know how to use them. Rouge decides she will take back what he took by force and transforms. Pantyhose Taro and Rouge battle it out in the skies above the Tendo home, until finally all the heat Rouge is exuding from her firey breath causes the rain to change her back to a human. Pantyhose Taro catches her as she falls, but makes the mistake of catching her in the same hand in which he is holding her source of power. Rouge transforms again, and places the power source on her back and prepares to battle again at full power.

Honoo no tsupuraton
(A Beautiful Friendship)
Rouge knocks Pantyhose Taro through the Tendo's roof and into their bathtub, causing him to transform back into a human. Just before a firey blast leads to his demise, Ranma jumps into the tub and blocks the fire with a frying pan. Pantyhose Taro transforms again, and Ranma rides on his back to fight Rouge. The cookware they are weilding seems to be effective against Rouge's flames, but she unleashes a tornado of fire that proves to be too much for them to defend against. In his frustration Pantyhose Taro knocks Ranma into the air, but as luck would have it, Ranma is directly over the tornado's vortex. Ranma goes flying down, frying pan in hand, hoping to knock Rouge out with it. However, as he gets close, Rouge's source of power seems to be attracted to Ranma's pan.

Chapter
338: 秘拳！徒手孝行乱打
Hiken! toshu koko randa
(Beware! The Blows of Strength)
Ranma manages to knock out one of Rouge's heads with the pan, and notices that her source of power seems to have attached themselves to the cookware as if they were magnetic. Upon seeing this, Pantyhose Taro turns on Ranma and steals the pan with the power source for himself. Ranma realizes what is going on, and jumps on Rouge's back. She explains that without her power source she can not unleash her ultimate attack again. Ranma tells her he can give her strength using his hands and begins to pound her back. Suddenly her powers return and she unleashes a storm of lightning which stike the pan Pantyhose Taro was carrying. They all fall to the ground, and after they wake up, Rouge pounds Pantyhose Taro for destorying her power source. Ranma tells her she can simply buy more, and takes her to a pharmacy. Rouge's power source was simply stick-on magnets used to relieve shoulder cramps. She explains that when you have six arms, you get pretty severe cramps. Rouge happily departs as Pantyhose Taro buys some magnets for himself, mistakenly thinking it will give him power as well.

Erabareta budo-ka
(The Chosen One)
Ranma, Soun and Genma venture to the Monkey Mountain Temple to see a martial arts uniform that is supposed to give its wearer incredible strength. They are surprised that the priest running the temple seems to look for any excuse to give them the incredibly valuable suit. They agree to bring the uniform home and Ranma tries to put it on, but it rejects him and forces him out. Akane comes to see what all the commotion is about, when the uniform jumps on her and accepts her as its wearer. Akane asks Ranma to spar with her when she realizes the suit unlocks her full potential, and she promptly thrashes him. Ranma is obviously irritated that his pride has taken such a blow, but Akane is thrilled. Ranma soon realizes that the suit seems to like girls, and decides to try it on in his female form. Ranma forces the armor on, but it is too tight on her chest and too loose in the waist. The suit spits Ranma out and Akane chasties him for trying to take it.

Chapter
342: 乱馬の陰謀
Ranma no inbo
(Ranma's Plot)
Akane enjoys leaping from rooftops for the first time when Ranma appears and challenges her yet again, convinced he can beat her. A few seconds later Ranma is thrashed again, and Akane apologizes for hitting him so hard. Back home, Ranma pours soy sauce on the suit, and the two start fighting again. Ranma gets frustrated about being unable to defeat the martial arts gi and runs off. Soun and Genma catch up with him and reveal that they contacted the monk from Monkey Mountain Temple. The monk informed them that if the wearer loses her heart to another, then the armor will grow jealous and abandon her. Ranma balks at the idea of hitting on Akane, but it seems to be the only way to get rid of the armor. His only other choice would be to hit the yin-yang release button on the belt, but he would have to hit it very hard while Akane was wearing it. Ranma tries many times to hit the release button, but the suit stops him. Finally Ranma has no choice, and asks Akane to meet him in a closet at home. There he tells her that he misses her, but the suit is keeping them apart. At first Akane does not believe him, but Ranma persists and Akane and he both do not know what to say as they sit in stunned silence over Ranma's admission.

Chapter
343: 初めて本音を言ったのに…
Hajimete honne o itta noni...
(The First Time I Said What I Felt)
Akane tells Ranma that if it means that much to him, she will seal away the armor. As these words sink in, Ranma realizes he has done a very underhanded and devious thing. In the closet on the above floor, Soun and Genma listen in intently and then slide open the tatami mat and dump toy frogs and snakes on Akane, making her leap into Ranma's arms. The two seem on the verge of kissing when the suit pulls open the door revealing Kasumi and Nabiki outside listening. Nabiki scolds the suit, and asks Soun what was going on. Soun explains aloud that if Ranma made Akane choose him over the suit, then the suit would leave Akane alone. Hearing this, Akane runs off in tears. Ranma feels awful and follows her to the park, where he confesses that initially he only wanted her to give up the suit, but halfway through his lie he realized she really was cute. Akane scoffs that Ranma would try the same trick twice, which hurts Ranma's feelings because, for the first time, he is being honest about his feelings towards Akane. With that, Ranma angrily tells Akane that if he really got serious he could beat her even if she had the suit on. With that the two prepare for battle.

Chapter
344: 二人の距離
Futari no kyori
(The Great Divide)
Ranma leaps in to attack Akane, but she makes short work of him. Akane tells him that they will not see each other again and begins to walk away when Ranma stops her. As they talk, Ranma tries to hit the release button, but Akane's super-speed stops him before he can. Akane is enraged that Ranma would try to hit her, and tells him that if he lays a hand on her they will never make up. Ranma is at a loss as to what to do- hit Akane and destroy the suit, or make up with her and let her keep the meddlesome martial arts gi. Ranma has a plan though and gets Akane to chase him. When she gets in close, he tries to slip his hand behind the release button, so that his punch will not hurt Akane. Unfortunately, Akane's waist is a little think and Ranma cannot easily get his hand behind the belt. A punch from Akane helps him force his hand behind the belt, and the button comes crashing down on a statue in the park. The suit begins to tear off, but Ranma and Akane are falling right towards a freshly painted bench. Ranma catches Akane and sits in the wet paint, proving to Akane he really does care for her and wants to protect her. The two spend a quite moment sitting together before heading home, where Kasumi proptly restitches the battle gi because she felt sorry for it.
