Ranma 1/2 Season 3 begins October 3 with episode 25, “Training DE Dinner”

Ranma and Ryoga clash again. Season 3 of the TV anime Ranma 1/2, based on Rumiko Takahashi’s manga, begins on Nippon TV Saturday, October 3 at 24:55, followed by broadcasts across its national network. MAPPA released a promotional ad on its official YouTube channel September 30.

Starting with episode 25

The premiere is episode 25 overall, “Training DE Dinner.” According to the official synopsis, Ryoga sends Ranma a challenge shortly before summer vacation.

But Ranma has grown stronger under the harsh training of Cologne, Shampoo’s great-grandmother, leaving a clear gap between his strength and Ryoga’s. That is where the season begins.

Cast and staff

Kappei Yamaguchi as male Ranma, Megumi Hayashibara as female Ranma, and Noriko Hidaka as Akane Tendo are among the actors returning from the 1989 anime. Fumino performs the opening “Sunao Miman,” and Yuika performs the ending, “Kawaikunai.”

Kōnosuke Uda directs, Kimiko Ueno handles series composition, and Kaoru Wada composes the music. MAPPA again produces the animation.
