Recap of the previous episode

The most recent episode starts where it left off as Shampoo kisses Ranma for so long that Akane Tendo has to split them up by hitting her fiance. She doesn't stop there and leaves while claiming that the engagement is off, with her family discovering that, by Chinese Amazon law, if one of them is defeated by a woman, they must kill her, and if they are defeated by a man, they must marry him.

While all of this is happening, Akane is taking out her anger on a Ranma dummy but calms down and decides to reach out to her fiance. She is with her sisters, Nabiki and Kasumi, listening to Ranma trying to put a hold on Shampoo's moves but the latter keeps insisting, much to Akane's annoyance. She later slaps female Ranma while the latter is talking with Ryoga Hibiki, who turned into P-Chan.

The real breaking point for Akane was the following morning when she found Shampoo sleeping with Ranma since the Amazon intruded and got into bed with her. This results in Akane getting angrier on the way to school, although things take a turn for the worse when it is revealed that Shampoo cooked P-Chan for Ranma. The pig survives and the two ladies agree to fight, with the cliffhanger being that the young Tendo lady has lost her memory.

What to expect from Ranma ½ episode 12?

Ranma ½ episode 12 of this MAPPA production is going to be the last one of this season, so fans can expect something special to conclude the first installment of this project. This could include a very powerful resolution of Akane Tendo's memory problems and also Ranma having to deal with that and the constant threat that is Shampoo, especially considering what manga readers already know from this small arc by author Rumiko Takahashi.
