208: 除夜の呪い
Joya no noroi
(New Year's Curse)
On New Year's Eve Shampoo makes a delivery to the Cat Temple and is greeted by a dark, large-eyed shadowy figure. The next day Mousse catches up to Ranma and Akane and tells them Shampoo never came home. The trio go to investigate the temple, and soon find Shampoo. When she tries to cross the barrier, she changes into a cat even though she is not splashed with water. Then her captor, the Ghost Cat, appears. He explains that if she ever crosses the seal to leave the temple she will transform. Only a kiss can break the curse, and Shampoo seems to only want Ranma to kiss her. Ranma is too scared of all the cats to do anything, so they all return home. The Ghost Cat shows up at the Tendo home and explains that after the tolling of the New Year's bells Shampoo will be a cat forever. He sprays some dust on Ranma and then leaves. Ranma and Akane travel back to the temple, but the dust (actually cat nip) prevents Ranma from going in.
