Chapter
169: バスルームの特訓
Basurumu no tokkun
(Bathroom Training)
Ranma begins training for the Parlay du Foie Gras by setting up buckets of cold water and kettles of hot water in the bathroom. By striking only the buckets he increases his speed and precision without changing back into a boy which would be very painful due to the iron corset. Picolet tells Ranma that their wedding is only a week away, and Ranma begins training harder than ever. Akane discovers the missing pages of the book, but Happosai had burned most of them. The only part Kasumi is able to translate from French says that everyone who has mastered the Parlay has met a tragic end.
Chapter
170: 必殺技完成？
Hissatsu waza kansei?
(Who Masters What?)
Ranma does a test run of the Parlay du Foie Gras on Genma and Soun and finds that it works perfectly. Ranma is now ready to defeat Picolet so she can get out of the wedding and get the iron corset removed. Ranma has lost a lot of weight though, and is very sickly looking. Suddenly the iron corset drops off because she is now so skinny. Ranma decides to take on Picolet as a boy, until Picolet reminds him that he still owes 100,000 yen for the first meal they fought over. Male Ranma runs off and female Ranma returns to make the challenge. Ranma continues to practice the Parlay and reveals its secret to Akane... feeding your food to your opponent so quickly that they can not tell you are doing it. The tragic end that meets those that practice this technique is death from starvation which Ranma seems dangerously close to.

Chapter
172: ごちそうさまのあとで
Gochiso-sama no ato de
(Do Not Dessert Me)
The match proceeds, and Ranma tries the Parlay again, this time tossing the food into the air so that it lands in Picolet's upturned mouth. Everyone sees him eating, but Madame St. Paul refuses to make a point deduction against him. Picolet decides to unleash another technique to prevent the Parlay, laying his face down onto the plates and eating like a dog. Ranma quickly uses the Parlay to feed all of his food to the audience, but with one plate left Ranma does not have enought energy to move the food any longer. Weak from hunger Ranma finally eats after days of fasting and defeats Picolet. As promised he relases Ranma from their engagement.
