It’s Wednesday! Time for me to go back to work to pay the bills which allow me to keep bringing this website to you. But before I go, let’s Mash. It. Up. First though:
Ranma 1/2 is an anime that is aimed at an older audience. The mash-ups featured here are 100% safe for children of all ages, but parental discretion is advised before viewing the anime or reading the manga with children.
OOOO-hohohohohohohohohoho!!!!!!!
That laugh could only mean one thing: It’s time to meet the Black Rose. Kodachi is Kuno’s younger sister. She attends St. Hebereke School for Girls and is the champion of their rhythmic gymnastics martial arts team. Akane first meets her as she’s beating up Furinkan High School’s rhythmic gymnastics team so they’ll have to drop out of the upcoming meet between the two schools. Akane intervenes and a new enemy is born. Of course, Kodachi winds up infatuated with Ranma’s male half which only serves to deepen the rivalry.
Below we have Zoë as Kodachi ready for a match both in my traditional style and with anime facial features. Now originally, I wasn’t going to use Kodachi. I’ve already drawn Zoë in a leotard before (in her Cammy mashup) and I had just drawn Nektara in Akane’s schoolgirl uniform so I wanted to do something different. I was going to draw Zoë and Skitter as the Golden Pair, Azusa Shiratori and Mikado Sanzenin. While I was doing picture searches for them, I decided that Skitter as Mikado wasn’t going to work out for me. Goodbye Golden Pair. That meant finding another female character for Zoë and really, Kodachi was the only logical choice. All things considered I’m glad I reconsidered and went with Kodachi. The leotard came out so much better this time. As always, click on a picture to enlarge it.
That’s all for this week. Three more Ranma mash-ups to go! Next week, we meet the mighty Chinese Amazon, Shampoo!
