Ryoga returns to Nerima for yet another duel. This time, he has a powerful new technique in his arsenal, the dreaded Shishi Hokodan, a move so strong he actually manages to beat Ranma with it! Can Ranma hope to make a comeback?

Shampoo goes to a temple to deliver food, but is reluctant to see the ghost cat there. She is spellbound by the ghost cat to be trapped in the temple. She can be released only if Ranma will kiss her before midnight. However, if he fails to do so, Shampoo will be forced into wedlock, spending an eternity as a cat.
