In Episode 2, Ranma Saotome and his father move into the Tendo Dojo, where Ranma is introduced as Akane Tendo's arranged fiancé. Ranma, who transforms into a girl when splashed with cold water, goes to school with Akane. At school, Akane faces the daily challenges posed by male students vying for her affection—a situation orchestrated by Tatewaki Kuno, the lovesick captain of the kendo club.

Ranma and Akane agree to avoid each other at school, but tensions rise when Kuno confronts Ranma about his relationship with Akane. A fight breaks out, but Ranma is forced to retreat when rain triggers his transformation. Kuno encounters Ranma in female form, unaware of the transformation, and falls in love with the "girl with the pigtails."

Determined, Kuno sends a letter and challenges the girl with the pigtails to a meeting. Ranma, still in female form, meets him, and Kuno confesses his love. The episode ends with Ranma worried about Kuno's affection for his female form, further complicating the already tangled relationships.
