You know you've realized that Ranma and Ukyou are truly meant for each other when...

• You think up intricate plots that involve the death of Akane Tendou.
• You dedicate a web page to Ranma and Ukyou.
• You read "The Long and Winding Road" by Zen over 100 times and are still waiting for part 3.(This along with the previous 2 items were contributed by Joshua Vote of Ashura Productions)
• You start feeding your boyfriend or girlfriend, okonomiyaki with hearts and words of love on them.
• You start hissing and cursing off people who believe in Ryouga/Ukyou relationships or Ranma/Akane relationships(this and the previous item were contributed by Talk and Walk Wang)
• Whenever Ranma & Akane fight you start talking to your TV, telling Ranma to give up and go with Ucchan.
• You train against the raging seas to become a great Okonomiyaki cook.(this and the previous item were contributed by carmo)
• You yell at Ranma every time you watch the anime to go to the one that truly shows affection for him.
• You buy an antique WW2 sniper rifle and practice it using little pictures of Akane as targets.
• You use Akane dolls for target practice.. "pull!"... ::Boom!::(this and the previous 2 items were contributed by [email protected])
• You write e-mails to 'The Knights of the CUTE Fiancée' and ask that they rename it to 'Knights of the ACTUAL Fiancée.'
• You write e-mails to 'The Knights of the True Fiancée' and call them hypocrites.
• You become physically ill whenever you read a fanfic pairing Ranma and Akane together.
• You just shake your head and say, "Poor, misguided fool" whenever you see somebody claim to be a knight to the *ahem* 'true' fiancée.
• You realize that abuse -- physical or emotional -- is no way to base a relationship on.
• You understand the fact that your spouse SHOULD be considered your bestfriend.
• You read those fanfics that claim Ranma thinks of Ukyou as a sister, you have a sibling of the opposite sex, and you KNOW that Ranma and Akane act more like brother and sister than Ranma and Ukyou.(this and the previous 6 items were contributed by Nathan "LC"D Bickford)
• You know that Akane was wrong from the start;that Nabiki likes him, but is too good at masking her feelings;and that Shampoo wouldn't really work out unless she forsook her past.(contributed by Jay Autostar)
• You find out that they were best friends;sice best friends will always love each other,no matter what.(contributed by Allen Ragasa of Anime Al's Tenchi Muyou! Webpage)
• You realize that true adult relationships never work if the two people cannot truly talk to each other. People will always disagree but if one becomes violent because of differences of opinion that person is not mature enough for an adult relationship. Also, the most important thing in a relationship is trust. If that is not there their can be no relationship, it is only infatuation or puppy love. (contributed by Risa Crockett)
• You start buying flat metallic spatulas and use them as weapons. (contributed by FR)
• They kiss.(contributed anonymously)

• You're voting for them at http://www.excelsis.com/vote/anime/bcouple/Ukyoua/.(contributed by JoY
• Fibro starts to sound like a good alternative to clothes.(I don't get this one;though it was contributed by a regular critic of my fanfics who has accused not only me of being a biased fanboy,but has also slandered my masterpiece A Wet Dream Come True by calling it a rapefic,which it definitely ISN'T.)
• You start making your own personal okonomiyaki for your boyfriend or girlfriend, and put words, hearts or faces on them.(contributed by Blue Thunder)

• Ukyou admits to Ranma about sexual fantasies with his girl side...and he weighs the technicalities about it.(contributed by The Gambling King)
• You read one of the millions of saccharin "Akane/Ranma admit their love, punt Ryouga and Ukyou off and live happily ever after" stories and feel the urge to smash unstable inanimate objects in a frustrated rage.(contributed by The Wanderer)
• I first saw them together(which by the way was in the movie Mirror Mirror they looked so cute together).(contributed by Mina)
• He calls her the cute fiancée.(multiple contributors)
• When I saw Ucchan, it has less to do with Ranma and more to do with Ukyou getting what she deserves and wants in life... she deserves the best and Ranma qualifies as the best, if one more person pairs her up with Ryouga I'm going to develop Akane's "Hammer Space" trick and take issue with some very dense people out there.... UNLESS they choose it because they like Ryouga (poor deluded them) and want HIM to have the best (which she is)(contributed by Jack Trades)
• The series ends with Ranma kicking Shampoo in the breasts and punches Akane in the butt and kisses the hell outta Ukyou(contributed anonymously,I don't know what he/she was thinking)

• They get married,and Ranma and Ukyou confes to thier other suiters that they love each other.(contributed by "Noor")
• Akane, Nabiki, Xian Pu, Kaori, Kodachi all die. Just kidding. When I actually see Ukyou and decide she and Ranma are truly meant for each other. Maybe they are. (contributed by Rachael of Rachael's Kawaii Anime Site)
• Ranma actually paid for his okonomiyaki(contributed by Jin)
• Ranma always calls her his cute fiancee. You don't hear him call Akane that! =P (contributed by Betsy.Though this contributor also goes by "Ukyo-chan,"IMHO,there is only one Ukyo-chan.)
• Akane and Shampoo do nothing but hurt him indiscriminately(contributed by SumGuy of BiteMe.com)
• It's physically impossible for you to picture Ranma with Akane or Shampoo.(contributed by Laurel Hakubi)
• They stayed engaged.
• Ranma ate her okonomiyaki sauce that he messed up.(this and the previous item were contributed by Christa)

• The way she(Akane)treats them.(contributed by Shane Francis McAndrew)
• When you watch the second movie for the Nth time and cheer for Ranma to show up to save Ukyou instead of Ryoga, even though you know he's going to end up saving the evil tomboy.(contributed by Black Dragon)

• You watch them together for the first time and notice all the chemistry.(contributed by Maite Carranza)
• I think it could have a romance between the two but nothing too serious, coz Ranma seems to see Ukyou more like a best friend or a little sister.(contributed by amazy)
• You can actually imagine both the idea of Kappei Yamaguchi and Hiromi Tsuru(Ranma-kun's and Ukyou's respective Japanese seiyuu)being a married couple(even though Hiromi-sama supposedly has been married/divorced once before)and the idea of the latter being the mother of Kappei-sama's children(he has 2),which ISN'T far fetched since both Megumi Hayashibara and Noriko Hidaka are each married to other men.
• As an extension of the above,you hum/sing that "Kappei and Hiromi,sittin'in a tree,K-I-S-S-I-N-G!First comes love,then comes marriage,then comes the baby for the baby carriage!" jingle.
• As an extension of the above 2(and for "kanji practice"),you take a piece of scrap paper and draw an ai ai gasa(together umbrella) with Kappei-sama's and Hiromi-sama's names in kanji/kana under it since there's a chance of the statement being true.(If you've seen the Ranma ½ TV episode "Ryouga's 'Tendou Doujou Houseguest' Diary" and/or episode 7 of Fancy Lala(poor Tarou Yoshida...),you'll understand what I'm talking about.)
• You own BOTH the dubbed AND subbed versions of "Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle:Ukyou Can Cook."
