Ranma ½ - Episode 160
Title:
Boy Meets Mom - Part 1
Ranma, Mitsu Maza
Summary:
"While visiting Mrs. Tendo's grave, Ranma begins to wonder about his own mother. Nodoka Saotome, Ranma's mother, had just sent a postcard telling the Tendos she was going to visit. Ranma is quite eager to meet his mother, but Genma explains to everyone that he made a promise to Nodoka when Ranma was first born. He made a death pact (Sabuko) to Nodoka, which states that Ranma, be either reared as man among men or they be put to the sword. In Sabuko, if the disciple/helper (in this case, Genma and Ranma) fails in something, his/their Master (in this case, Nodoka) will cut their heads with a sword. Genma and Ranma decide to hide their true identities and tell Nodoka that Ranma is actually Lunko, a cousin of the Tendos.”
