Ranma 1/2 Episode 7 recap

Ranma 1/2 Episode 7, titled ‘Hot Competition,’ begins Ranma training with Ryoga to prepare for the martial arts gymnastics match against Kodachi. However, Ryoga’s hidden agenda is to sabotage Ranma so Kodachi can claim him, leaving Ryoga a chance to pursue Akane.

The morning of the match, Ryoga transforms into his pig form, P-Chan, due to an accidental splash of water. Kodachi finds him and incorporates him into her schemes. Before the fight, Kodachi uses traps and tranquilizers against Ranma.

During the match in Ranma 1/2 Episode 7, Kodachi employs numerous underhanded tactics, including weaponizing Ryoga's pig form. Despite the chaos, Ranma counters her moves, displaying the bizarre nature of martial arts gymnastics.

Kodachi’s tricks escalate, with her even throwing her brother, Tatewaki Kuno, into the fray. Ultimately, Ranma cleverly uses a tentpole from the ring to knock Kodachi out, securing victory in a dramatic and unconventional conclusion to the match.
