The Great Mallet List

Well, I don't think anyone has ever tried this (nobody should), but here it is.

A complete list of every mallet ever to be used in combat by a character in the Ranma universe.  I am NOT including any mallets used by Gosunkugi since that is pretty much standard in his arsenal.  Otherwise, I don't think I've missed any.  If anyone knows of another mallet occurence (which I like to call "mallet occurence", as I never said I was imaginative), please let me know.  I am, of course, only doing the manga.  If anyone out there wants to do an anime one as well, hell, go for it.  I'm not that obsessed (and I don't have all the episodes, or I might just have done it too).  I suppose I also could have placed the filename of the image according to the RanmaScan project, but it would just be hard to do that with books pre-17.  I might do it, if anyone demands it, but for now, I prefer to rely on my descriptions.

I won't say this wasn't fun, because it was.  It's something else to be remembered by :P

Anyway, if anyone wants to host this, please drop me an e-mail, come on, it's, what, 10k?  Not that big a deal, now, is it?  I hate never having a permanent webspace, but frankly, I'm fine with it.  I almost never need to keep anything anyway out for the public.

As I said, I think I'm the first to do a list like this.  If I'm not, then, well, at least it was something to occupy my time for a while.

Please, any replies, make them private.  Thank you.

the list:
--------
Book xx, (Story Name) Description
--------
Book 02, (Kodachi, The Black Rose) Kodachi's wielding a mallet.
She hasn't used it yet.

Akane's room.  Uses mallet as weapon.

mallet to pound a few nails into her door.

soon after he's thrown into the air by him.
Book 07, (Scent of a woman) Soun and Genma try to use mallets
on the master's prone form.
Book 10, (One moment to Love), Happosai uses a giant mallet on
Ranma after he tries to trap him with a net.
Book 11, (Hold me close) Akane bonks Ranma over the head as he's
glomping Shampoo, due to the kairishi
Book 11, (Serious Side Effects) Akane gets READY to crush Ranma
with a mallet, after she returns to normal strength.

her from one of Ryouga's hugs.
Book 13, (The World's Weakest Man) Akane tries to crush Happosai
with a mallet at the very beginning, and actually uses it as
a weapon (trying again).
Book 13, (The World's Weakest Man) I said I wasn't going to
mention Gosunkugi, but hell, this is the only time he EVER
used his mallet to hit anyone.  Gosunkugi takes a cheap shot
at a very weak Ranma.
Book 13, (Weak for life) Girl Ranma TRIES to wield a mallet
against Happosai, but can't even lift it.
Book 13, (The Great Rematch) Ukyou helps Ryouga sleep with a
mallet.
Book 14, (Akane Guesses the Secret) Ranma walks over to a
stunned Ryouga and knocks him out with a mallet.

ridiculous use of a mallet, defeats Ranma Saotome

over the head in the fair.
Book 15, (May I Cut In) Akane, in a very real world, bashes
Kuno over the head as he tries to get a kiss out of a
sleeping (unconscious) Ranma.

a mallet when Ukyou waited for Ranma in bed, before her
father ended up beating him through the roof.
Book 20, (Waves of Rumours) Kodachi attacks Akane with a hammer.
I'd like to take a moment to mention that Kodachi has NEVER
used the hammer effectively.  Maybe because she really is a
crappy fighter.
Book 24, (Guests at the Cat Cafe) Mint threatens to use a
mallet (although it just looks like a big hammer, for some
reason) on Shampoo.
Book 26, (The Serpent is Angry) Ranma knocks Ryouga out after
his 'interrogation' of the old man.  The most ornate mallet
seen on the series yet, might I add.  And I might, so there.
Book 27, (Deadly Lover's Escape) Ranma knocks Sound out COLD
before he hears Hinako's proposal.  She proceeds to enter
into battle with her teacher wielding it.
Book 27, (A Tearful Apology) We don't see the actual move,
but Ranma has a small (metal?) mallet on his head while he's
apologizing to Mousse.  So, I'm assuming Mousse used on him

with the hard end of a mallet.

mallet.
Book 31, (Butterfly Brocade) In a remembered (and likely biased,
but not by much) world, Happosai traitorously beats Lucky with a
mallet, in the past.
Book 31, (Dance of the Butterflies) Lucky remembers Happosai's
mallet strike again.
Book 31, (Dance of the Butterflies) So does Happosai.  Aparently,
the memory wasn't as biased as we thought.
Book 31, (The Vengeful Spirit Doll) A possessed Akane tries to
teach Ranma a lesson.  Repeatedly.  Emphasis on tries.
Book 31, (The Vengeful Spirit Doll) A possessed Akane tries again

preferred method, in my opinion.
Book 32, (The Glowing Girl) Soun and Ranma wonder at Pantyhose's
sudden unconsciousness.
Book 32, (Asuka of the White Lily) Kodachi tries a useless attack
against Akane.  That bitch just doesn't learn.

Ranma to wear a suit, trying to mallet him beforehand. She
actually gets closer to him than she ever did with Akane.

a mallet than the other way around.  Akane and Ranma fall on a
mallet-wielding statue.

little children who just want to cuddle up to women.
Book 33, (Two Shampoos) Ranma tries to knock Mousse.  Mousse
teaches a mallet a lesson.

with a mallet.  Horse retaliates with a kick to the head.
Book 33, (The Trouble with "Ema's") Ranma does it again after
horse doesn't hit Akane.
