Kasan, ore ga Ranma desu
(Mother, I Am Ranma)
Ranma and Akane are out dress shopping with Nodoka, as Ranma bemoans the fact that she has to keep her identity secret from her own mother. As they sit and discuss the "missing" Ranma, a large bear escapes and almost mauls Nodoka. Before Ranma can spring into action, a strange boy dressed in camoflauge strikes the bear down. Ranma is impressed by his martial arts and listens in as Nodoka returns a scroll the youth dropped. She is shocked to see that written on the scroll is her son's name and a drawing of her husband, Genma. When she asks the camouflaged boy's name, he replies that he is "Ranma Saotome". Nodoka immediately takes her "long-lost son" home with her and the real Ranma follows closely behind. The fake Ranma is overjoyed with how easy it was to infiltrate the Saotomes' home and after Nodoka goes to bed he decides he will start looking for a secret scroll that he believes is in her possession. Just then the real Ranma tells the fake to step outside.

Chapter
296: 海の家、山の家
Umi no ie, yama no ie
(House of the Sea, House of the Mountain)
Ranma manages to escape from Ryu's rope, just as Ryu goes for another heart punch. Ranma counters with a few Umi-senken techniques that catch Ryu by surprise. As Ranma stands over his fallen opponent Soun shouts out that he now understands the secrets to the Umi-senken and Yama-senken techniques. They all equate with a house. Ryu's techniques deal with busting your way in, while Ranma's involve stealth and quietness. Soun and Akane are amazed that Genma could create such an impressive array of techniques. Just then Genma pops back up embarrassed about how bowled over everyone is with his Umi-senken and Yama-senken. Back to the fight, Ryu says that he has learned the weakness of the Umi-senken. He tells Ranma that he knows his mother would be disappointed to have such an unmanly son, which causes Ranma to lose his concentration. This slip allows Ryu to hit with a crushing bear hug. Just then Nodoka's favorite teacup breaks and she knows something is amiss. She decides to head off and check on her "son" and how his duel is proceeding. Ranma decides he has no choice but to unleash the Umi-senken technique that was written on the envelop his mother gave him.

Chapter
297: 山千拳の悲劇
Yamasen-ken no higeki
(Thousand-Mountain Tragedy)
As Ranma and Ryu battle they both come to a standstill as Ranma unleashes the technique he learned from the envelope. He wraps Ryu's head with a piece of cloth and and tries to strangle him with it, Ryu counters by tying Ranma's throat with his rope. The two both have each other in a double stranglehold until Soun steps in and cuts them both loose. Soun forces Genma onto the battlefield and reveals to Ryu Kumon that it was he that created the deadly Yama-senken and Umi-senken techniques that destroyed the Kumon Dojo. Ryu refuses to take revenge on Genma saying that it was actually his father who destroyed their dojo, not Genma. Ryu explains that a kindly martial artist gave his father the Yama-senken scroll but when his father used the techniques their already crumbling dojo was demolished on top of Mr. Kumon. With his dying breath he asked Ryu to track down the companion scroll, the Umi-senken, and use it to restore their dojo. With that Ryu unleashes his ultimate attack, the Demon God Multiple Strike, which punches through a statue and sends Ranma reeling. Ranma regains his composure and explains that the Umi-senken and Yama-senken techniques are techniques for living, not destruction. With that he tells Ryu to try the Demon God Multiple Strike again. Just as he does, Nodoka arrives at the temple where they are fighting.

Chapter
299: 秘伝書の真実
Hiden-sho no shinjitsu
(The Truth of the Secret Scrolls)
Ranma's attack is able to steal the vacuum created by Ryu Kumon's ultimate technique and bury him under the rubble Ranma had gathered inside his giant cloth. Buried under a mass of earth, Ryu has no choice but to admit defeat, and with that the Yama-senken technique is forever sealed away. Ranma explains to him that the techniques do not just equate with entering a house, but were actually originally intended as techniques used for burglary. Genma gave it to the poor Kumon family with the intention of them using it to steal enough money to live in comfort, but Mr. Kumon misunderstood it is use. Nodoka awakens from the drug Genma slipped her and realizes that Ryu is not her long-lost son, Ranma. She is disappointed but says she enjoyed thinking she had her son back, even if it was for a little while. Ryu Kumon sets out again leaving the Saotomes in peace. Meanwhile Ranko asks Nodoka about the envelope she sent her, believing that she perhaps suspects Ranko is actually Ranma. Luckily, Nodoka explains that Genma sent her the scroll after telling her to destroy it and she was simply reusing it since she was trying to be thrifty.

Chapter
300: 乱馬の涙
Ranma no namida
(Ranma's Tears)
Ranma is awoken by Happosai throwing water on him causing him to change into his female form. After Ranma chases him off, he watches Happosai drink a strange concoction. Happosai shouts out that it is a youth potion, but after drinking it nothing happens. Happy re-reads the directions and realizes he forgot the most important ingredient- the tears of a beast who is both male and female, in other words Ranma's tears. Happy sets out to steal Ranma's tears by throwing onions in his face, tear gassing him, and trying to make him eat wasabi. When he finally does get a bucket full of Ranma's tears by hitting a pressure point, he accidentally drops it. Everyone feels guilty since Happosai is so sick, so they mop it up for him, but tell him quite a bit of soy sauce got mixed in from the dirty rags they soaked it up with. Happosai refuses to drink the concoction, but Ranma forces him to drink it. The potion does not quite work out, and simply makes Happosai act like a baby instead of actually regain his youth.
