August 2022 Ranma only poll (Patreon)

And here we are with the Ranma Patron only poll.

Sword, Bow and Horse – Ranma/Lord Marksman and Vanadis crossover: After taking a sabbatical from interacting with other people as only Ranma could, the trans-dimensionally displaced martial artist heads north in search of Lim and Valentina. Arriving on the heels of both winter and a war’s end, Ranma finds Valentina first. A heart-to-heart discussion proves enlightening, while the events after prove arousing, before Lim arrives to interrupt things. A fight ensues until Ranma puts his feet down, whereupon it becomes a free-for-all, with the loser being Valentina’s castle. Elsewhere, a demon in human form begins to spread his influence through Muozinel, which is still reeling at it’s defeat in the war against Brune. While a demon contemplates that, winter goes on. Political chicanery continues apace, while an unaware Ranma has romantic times with both Valentina and Lim, finding unfortunately that they are not as sanguine about sharing him and they might once have evinced, and that his own emotions are very much being torn in two directions. When it breaks, Ranma, annoyed and thoughtful from the weekly bickering, makes his way out to find Sofy to both check in with her and ask for advice, only to learn she is being sent on a mission to Asvarre. Racing to join her, he is barely able to board the ship before it leaves, taking Sofy and Ranma out to a new adventure…

Climbing Together – Ranma/Street Fighter/King of Fighters crossover: Ranma leads shampoo, Mai and the girls out into the wilds, where once again, Ranma and shampoo set up the toughness training, determined to get it right this time. As they do so, Mai and Ranma take the time to learn more about the various tournaments going around or being planned in the near future, and Ranma and Shampoo have a date that doesn’t end in disaster. Disaster does occasionally occur with Kurumi and Natsumi both not used to being around a man for any set length of time a but life continues until Genma and Soun are spotted once more. A trap is laid, and goes somewhat well, until as a family reunion occurs, Genma opens his fat mouth much to his son’s dismay. With the toughness training having worked very well, and now with their two prisoners, Mai takes charge of the group, and they quickly make their way to her family’s dojo, to ask for advice about what to do with the new problems that Genma’s mouth has caused. There, Ranma meets Terry only for both of them to find one another somewhat lacking in the rival department. Mai begins to plan, the sisters argue, and shampoo and Ranma both face somewhat startling revelations about themselves while Soun makes a fateful decision, one that leaves Genma up the proverbial creek without a paddle.

Journey Gone Astray – Ranma/DC crossover: after performing a few… Clean up operations for the government, Ranma is assigned to protect Lara Croft. After a very rocky introduction and start, the two starts to get along, with Lara proving an odd mix between having insane survivals instincts, and the curiosity of a cat on steroids. After one extremely dangerous adventure within Japan that brings Ranma back to a stomping ground he had wished to never visit again, another occurs outside of Japan, wherein Ranma learns that he has the blood of an ancient wizard named Merlin within him. This leads to some interesting revelations, none of which Ranma is all that interested in until the magic word ‘training’ is mentioned. Soon after, with Lara returning to England on an affable note, Ranma is assigned guard detail on a series of business people heading into Gotham, known across the world as one of the most deadliest cities in the world. There, someone tries to tell an inopportune joke, but Ranma is the one who provides the punch line. This causes issues large and small, but eventually, Ranma is left to his own devices, freed from continuing governmental interference, but also without governmental aid. Deciding to explore America, and see if he can figure out why the heck wonder woman still looks familiar to him, Ranma decides to travel cross country, eventually her traveling through a certain area of Kansas, where in some unusual circumstances, he meets a teenaged girl named Kara…

Here, the carryover rule will be in effect, which means Sword Bow and Horse will get half of its votes from the previous month carried over into this one. I won’t personally take part in this one, simply because all of these sound like fun to write to me for one reason or another. This poll will end on the 14th
