Ranma 1/2 (2024) [2nd Season Episode 10]

If you thought Romeo & Juliet was just about star-crossed lovers and tragic endings, Ranma 1/2 (2024) Season 2 Episode 10 is here to prove you wrong—way wrong. This episode takes the classic play and turns it into a chaotic martial arts battle for the right to kiss Juliet (aka Akane) on stage, and honestly? It’s exactly the kind of wild ride we signed up for from MAPPA’s reboot of the iconic 90s series.

Let’s set the scene: Akane has been dying to play Juliet in her school’s play. Why? Because even though she’s a total badass at martial arts (and often labeled “too tomboyish” for liking it), she’s got a soft spot for embracing her feminine side—something a MyAnimeList comment points out as super important for her character. “Playing Juliet is so important to her because she’s always wanted to embrace her feminine side but has been shoehorned into ‘masculine’ roles because she likes martial arts,” the fan writes. And let’s be real—who hasn’t felt like they have to pick one side of their personality to fit in?

But when the role of Romeo is up for grabs, all hell breaks loose. Suddenly, everyone from Ranma (in his female form, no less) to Kuno, Gosunkugi, and even the pervy old Happosai are fighting tooth and nail to get the part. Another fan sums it up perfectly: “Only in Ranma 1/2 could a school play turn into a full-blown martial arts showdown over who gets to kiss Juliet. Akane just wanted to play the role, and suddenly there’s like five Romeos throwing hands on stage.” Chaos ensued, and it was glorious.

The highlight? That duct tape kiss between Ranma and Akane. Yeah, you read that right—there was a piece of tape between their lips, but fans are still losing it over it. “Even though there was duct tape between their lips, we’ll take that, haha,” one comment says. It’s a small win for their slow-burn romance, and seeing Ranma get flustered was chef’s kiss. Let’s be real—we’ve all been waiting for any crumb of progress between these two tsunderes.

But it wasn’t all laughs. There was a moment where Gosunkugi used a sedative to try to make Akane unconscious, which a fan called “uncomfortable.” And honestly, that part did feel a bit off—like, why did they have to go there? But overall, the episode’s chaos overshadowed that misstep.

And don’t even get me started on the reward twist. The winner was supposed to get a VIP trip to China (Ranma’s dream, since he wants to fix his curse), but it turned out to be a VIP visit FROM China instead. Ranma’s reaction? Pure disappointment, and it was hilarious. A fan jokes: “Poor Ranma, he’ll never get what he wants, but it does make him closer to Akane. When both characters are tsundere, any small progress counts.”

MAPPA did a great job with this episode—they kept the original’s silly, over-the-top vibe while adding some modern flair. The animation was smooth, and the fight scenes on stage were so fun to watch. “Probably my favorite episode of the season so far and of the entire show!!” a fan gushes.

At the end of the day, this episode reminds us why Ranma 1/2 is still a classic. It’s got comedy, romance, and characters who feel real—even with all the magical curses and martial arts mayhem. Akane’s struggle to balance her love for fighting with her desire to be feminine is something a lot of teens can relate to (we don’t have to pick one side, right?). And that duct tape kiss? It’s an iconic moment that’ll be talked about for weeks.

If you haven’t watched this episode yet, what are you waiting for? Grab some snacks, sit back, and prepare to laugh until your sides hurt. Ranma 1/2 (2024) is killing it this season, and I can’t wait to see what chaos they throw at us next. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a newbie, this episode is a must-watch—it’s pure Ranma magic.
