In the anime "Ranma 1/2", what would happen if Ranma got pregnant?

Asked by ragingloli (51954points) August 22nd, 2013

As I am sure you already know, the basis of the show was that the protagonist Ranma was cursed, so that he turned into a girl whenever he came in contact with cold water, while reverting to his male form when in contact with hot water.
So, what would happen during the transformation back to his male form if he became pregnant while being a girl?
Would it terminate the pregnancy?
Would it put it on hold, with the fetus reappearing on his next boy-to-girl transformation?
Would his male form now have a womb to continue the pregnancy?
Or would he be unable to transform back into a male?

Of COURSE I know the premise of the show! WTH??

Well, his womb would disappear and the baby would end up in the middle of his intestines and he would die pretty quick. Is he able to die? It would be a bummer if he isn’t able to die, ‘cause that would be some serious stuff to live with, having a baby tangling up your intestines.

Or perhaps he just needs to stay in a cold shower for the next 9 months.

Ranma’s girl-form is actually a girl who died in the lake, am I right? That’s why Genma turned into a panda.

So my logic goes two ways:

1) Ranma’s actually changing from one person to another during the transformation, save for brain activity. Thus, pregnancy would be put on hold.

2) Ranma’s girl-form is dead, and thus cannot conceive a child.

The only way to know would be to determine whether the girl-form is biologically alive.

It would suck to be pregnant without being able to take a hot bath. Seriously

Wait…where would the uterus go? @Seek_Kolinahr?

I would have a more pleasurable way to test it. If you know what I mean.

Dude. If Ranma Girl got hit with hot water while having sex, what would happen?

You would probably be fused together at that part.

This is all bad.

It’s actually a really funny anime. Got me through more than a few evenings in my high school years.

Wow. Gilligan’s Island is what I watched after school!

I haven’t watched the show for 10 years. What happened to wounds that either form received? Would they transfer to the flip-form. Would they disappear only to return on re-transformation? Or would they disappear never to return?
