The previous episode of Ranma 1/2 ended with Akane hurting her leg, which forced Ranma to have to sub for her in the match against Kodachi. Ranma has one day to master rhythmic gymnastics martial arts in order to defeat Kodachi in the upcoming match.
In this article, we’ll see what happens in episode 7 of the anime and discuss the release date and speculations for the upcoming episode of Ranma 1/2.

2. Ranma 1/2 Episode 7 Recap
The episode began with Ryouga giving Ranma intense training so as to shape him up for the upcoming match. It was odd that Ryouga was being surprisingly cooperative, but it turned out that Ryouga’s cooperation was just to impress Akane, and the moment she left to sleep, Ryouga asked Ranma to forfeit that match and get together with Kodachi so he could have Akane for himself.
Ranma refused, and the two ended up fighting each other at the dojo till the next morning. The next day, Ranma left for St. Bacchus school, and from there, Akane informed Kodachi that Ranma would be her stand-in for the match. From that moment to the very few moments before the match, Kodachi tried to sabotage Ranma in several ways to make him lose before the match even started.
Meanwhile, Ryouga found his way to St. Bacchus school to try and make Ranma lose but unfortunately got turned into a pig due to unforeseen circumstances. After the match between Kodachi and Ranma started (the entirety of which we won’t cover, as it is a must-watch), Kodachi tried several underhanded methods to make Ranma lose. She chained Ryouga (pig version) onto Ranma and even used weapons that had sharp ends, which were against the rules.
At one point, Kodachi even poured hot water over Ranma and Ryouga, but due to Akane’s timely action, they were saved from being exposed in front of everyone they knew. For someone as skilled as Ranma, Kodachi posed quite a threat. This is because of the nature of the match, as bare-handed attacks weren’t allowed. Furthermore, Kodachi is quite skilled at using underhanded techniques.
The match did end in Ranma’s victory, and he did seem really exhausted at the end of it, too. Kodachi proved herself to be a force of nature that even Ranma found hard to handle. The episode ended with Kodachi declaring that she’d burn with the newfound passion that she found for Ranma, after she admitted defeat in the match.
3. What To Expect In Episode 8?
Since Ranma has defeated Kodachi already, we can expect this sub-arc about Kodachi and Ryouga to be over temporarily. For an episodic anime like Ranma 1/2, most upcoming events cannot be predicted with ease, but we can still expect more spicy events to happen with Ranma and even Ryouga since Akane is very likely to have caught onto his pig form in episode 7.
