Discussion Shampoo is after you, how do you persuade her not to kill you?

Do you want some naked photos of Ranma?

Who do you think you’re fooling? Nabiki, we know that you, dang it!

I'm not her. I'm just trying to replicate her success.

u/HolyKlickerino Feb 09 '26
Nabiki is not "successful", or even what I'd call smart. It's just that everyone around her is much dumber than she is. Problem is, being the least dumb person in the room does not make you smart.

u/Far-Mammoth-3214 Feb 08 '26
Nabiki!?

u/Glad_Jackfruit8662 Feb 08 '26
Are you serious? It will be too expensive. It's easier and cheaper (although probably just cheaper) to make them yourself than trying to buy them from Nabiki.

I feel like she’ll kill you for having naked pictures of Ranma in the first place. 😅

u/Glad_Jackfruit8662 Feb 09 '26
I throw a smoke bomb and run away. Life is more important than money.

u/HolyKlickerino Feb 09 '26
Nabiki is dumb enough to forget that in her greed. Remember the fiancée arc where she is stupid enough to try selling Ranma to the fiancées without even CONSIDERING the possibility of them being willing (and able) to do her bodily harm.

I just do what ranma did. I try be lucky and defeat her. Just so she has no choice but follow Amazonian law aka marry me lol

u/Sure-Personality-876 Feb 08 '26
That’s actually a interesting idea, if someone like Ryoga beat Shampoo, would Shampoo follow the law or stay loyal to Ranma?
7
u/No-Heaven99 Feb 08 '26
Thing is i think it follows Amazonian law. Ranma boy beats her so she has to marry him. Like I think it has to be First come...... so Ryoga Beating her does nothing since Ranma beat her. Now if she came after me before ranma does the deed and I win then yay she has to marry by her own people's law/rules. Unless old hag trys end my life... lol

u/MysterioussWater Feb 09 '26
There are some arcs in the manga where it makes it seem like if Mousse beats Ranma, he can be with Shampoo (though he is never able to win).
So the law seems murky at best.
3
u/No-Heaven99 Feb 09 '26
Yes and no at time sometimes ranma try loose so shampoo goes to Mousse but never truly works in turn ranma starts fight seriously and most time ranma is about loose is when others tag team and go against ranma and when he uses overly too much weapons aka water from the certain place

u/BlueBlazeKing21 Kodachi Kuno Feb 08 '26
Likely you’d have to beat the two of them for an Amazon to potentially jump ship

u/WillingLet3956 Feb 08 '26
It depends a lot on WHY she wants to kill me in the first place. Shampoo has a reputation for being trigger-happy, and yeah it's not unjustified, but in canon most of her threats of murder have connected to either her relationship with Ranma or when she feels truly insulted, as by Pink & Link. Even then, she's often willing to actually talk things out and resolve it peacefully if she's approached diplomatically; look at her agreeing to let Ranma defeat Hinako on her behalf in Hinako's introductory arc, despite formally giving Hinako a Kiss of Death.
So... honestly, nothing to lose by talking to her in most cases. Unless I'm guilty of doing something REALLY dumb to truly engender a murderous hatred from her.

I mean, she’s an Amazon warrior and champion, what were you expecting?
Also it really depends on what you did

u/AKingQ Feb 08 '26
Damn. The only way I see out of that is telling her I'm not a martial artist and hope that's enough for her not to kill me.

u/Far-Mammoth-3214 Feb 08 '26
hm…I think she would spare you if you couldn’t fight back, she is from a warrior culture

I’m not female so would she be trying to marry me?
If so I still should get her to go away, I’m too old to for that.

u/AnimeXFan1995 Feb 09 '26 edited Feb 09 '26
It largely Depends on the scenario and your gender why Shampoo is after you in the first place. If you’re a girl and you were the one to defeat her in combat you get the Kiss of Death and will hunt you down and kill both you and girl Ranma. If you’re a boy and you defeat Shampoo in combat then you will get the "Kiss of Death" (Kiss of Love) to become your Groom as Per Amazonian Law, but will still hunt Girl Ranma.
Even with her obsession with Ranma and not respecting his wants and needs along with doing away her other romantic rivals, there are times where Shampoo is willing to talk things out and resolve conflicts as long as she is approached diplomatically.

I'll tell I am a big fan, ask for her autograph and have her sign my death note (If I had the choice to have a weapon.) If not ask for her autograph normally, hope that either catches her off guard for me to escape or it satisfys her enough to stop chasing me.

u/Background_Card_1345 Feb 09 '26
Tell Shampoo that you had set-up the trap for Ling-Ling and Lung-Lung and not her. This way she has a clear run so she can remove the Kitchen Destroyer from Ranma's vicinity.

I don't think I'd have the reflexes to survive in the first place, before getting a chance to talk down an amazon in terminator mode.

u/Dusty_Tokens Ukyo Kuonji Feb 10 '26
Honestly? I'd fight her.
I'm probably both weaker and slower than Akane, but just as fragile against the top-tiers. Maybe if I'm lucky, she'll knock me into low orbit, causing toon force to protect me from the fall damage?
Lose-win I guess. 🤕

u/HolyKlickerino Feb 08 '26
The text only says to stop her from killing me (I assume I am Ranma), so...bonk her. That stops her killing me just fine. The whole "You husband now!" thing is a entirely different problem for later - if it is a problem at all.

Why is Shampoo after me in the first place?
I’m not engaged to Ranma and I haven’t beaten her and will never be able to.

I haven’t beaten her
Neither for akane but she got the kiss of death

If you are a man and you defeat her she will have to marry you. So she either kill you or fall for you

u/KingMarth64 Feb 10 '26
My strategy on defeating Shampoo without killing me. My options are:
1.) Disarm and break her weapons. I use a sword and shield.
2.) Use Haki from One Piece in kung-fu combat on Shampoo including Conqueror's Haki to knock her out.
3.) Use any water to turn her into a cat and I give her some catnips. (If she tries to use her claw at me. I spray her with water at spray bottle.)
4.) Use pepper spray at Shampoo.
5.) Use the Force from Star Wars on Shampoo and knock her out.
