In a casino and hotel in Tokyo, it's been another day, another hustle; people going in to gamble, have fun, get a couple of drinks, people looking for a place to rest, and/or getting ready for small parties, people going out with the results of their luck, drunk, rested up, and/or partied out.

At the bar, Ranma Saotome was drinking next to the patriarch of the Tendou household, Soun, and his big fat bastard of a father, Genma Saotome.

Ranma is in his early 20s now and his relationship with the fiancés, especially Akane, has not exactly improved very well. The further crimes and mishaps his father and acquaintances during the time of now and the failed wedding have left him miserable as hell.

When the disgruntled young martial artist was about to drink from his glass again, he finds it to be empty, he says to the bartender "Hey, barkeep… can I have another round of this?" The redheaded barkeeper turns to look at Ranma, who, much to his shock, looks very beautiful like a woman. Ranma knew he had to apologize quickly, "I'm sorry, I thought you were male." "I am male," replied the bartender. With that information in mind, Ranma and the other men sitting at that bar widened in shock.

Politely, the bartender smiles "I'll get you another one of those, sir." Ranma sighs "Thank you very much." He thinks to himself 'At least he didn't blew up in my face or attack me, unlike some people I know.'

The bartender looks at Ranma's father carefully and says, "You know, you look kind of familiar." The other men, excluding Ranma and Soun, look at Genma and say to him, "Yeah, you really do." "Haven't we met someplace before?" Genma shrugs it off, "Nah, I've probably got one of those faces you've seen before." Soun backs him up, "Either that or it's the booze giving us that impression." The guys at the bar nodded it off.

The news came on the bar TV, the anchorwoman says "And for the most wanted of the year, here's a no-brainer; martial artists Genma Saotome and Soun Tendou are charged for theft, false promises, living under honor falsely, engaging children without legal consent and before birth, child abuse, evading taxes, assault, kidnapping, avoiding debts, breaking agreements, breaking and entering, cheating, and many other criminal offenses. These so-called honorable martial arts masters have left the vicinity of the Nerima district due to destroying many buildings, excluding their Anything Goes Martial Arts Dojo, just last week during a war between 8 other martial artists. Luckily, no one was killed. Today, the bounty on Soun Tendou is increased to ¥75 million yen while his buddy's is double that amount."

Ranma gasps, "So that's how it happened!" Everyone at the bar turned to the two wanted men from Nerima and found the two bozos gone! Ranma saw a large panda and a peculiar man in a tuxedo dancing on stage, he mutters to himself "Buttheads."
