That 'MWIP' sound effect when Ranma jumps up because Akane is leaving with Ryoga is fabulous! It conveys so much (speed/surprise/outrage).

This time Ryoga’s bandanna is the interesting element for me. It’s so pixelated looking (not from the scan itself) in most of the close-ups. I was trying to figure out the motif, but I suspect there is none. It’s an interesting choice for a pattern but a good one, too, since the mangaka can kind of just ‘fake’ it as needed.

I certainly do! ^^

I didn't realize some of those existed and I am excited to check them out!

I sometimes think of LuZoSopp as the "It is(n't) complicated" trio. Yeah, with that weird spelling and all.

Hmmm, trying to think. Aside from the parentage of Ace and Usopp (I'm pretty sure Sabo explained about that to Luffy at one point? Unless I'm remembering a fic and not the manga), I do think he thought Shirahoshi and her brothers were cool to be related? Maybe? I don't think he really reacted to Nojiko at all and he's not been a fan of Sanji's relatives of course...And I kinda think that's it for big relationship spoilers beyond his own at this point.

I've completely forgotten that part of the Fishman Island arc. You're right, there's not really enough data to base anything on.

Does Luffy's shirt say n00bles?!
