I have recently been rereading all the early manga and the Elseworld's
series and an idea came to me.

I'm not suer if it has been done, but if it has I applogise.

-What if Ryoga didn't exist?

Ranma would be dead.

I'm not sure when the first time Ryoga saves Ranma's life is, but in volume
24, at least, neither Ranma nor Mousse would have any possible way to
defeat Lime.  Neither of them has anything that can hit hard enough.
Tiger-man would have killed them both.

Actually, wouldn't Ranma have been killed by Ebi-ten of the Seven Lucky
gods if Ryoga didn't exist?  He was the one who stopped that wierd
fishing line thing just before Ranma's neck got slit.


ah, well... if someone writes the fic they write the fic.  And they do
what they want with the fic.
