Ranma wakes up and starts doing things slightly different. He cant be bothered to spar with Genma, he watches Kasumi cook but denies any interest and he acts differently around Akane and the others. During school she answers a Chinese history exam in Chinese and then cant read it. She focuses on it and when she can read it, she finds she cant write Japanese. She checks the Amazons to find mousse and Shampoo in their cursed forms acting like animals. Everybody is changing into their cursed forms mentally, so Ranma ends up changing into a Chinese girl from over a thousand years ago.
