The Black Secret

Kuroi himitsu heiki (黒い秘密兵器) is the 236th chapter of the manga and the second chapter of the Pantyhose Returns Arc.

Akane tells Ranma that the spring water Pantyhose Taro is going to splash Happosai with is actually from the Spring of Drowned Twins. Ranma rushes to find the two combatants and stops Pantyhose Taro just as the water is about to hit Happosai. Pantyhose does not understand why Ranma would try to save the preverted old man, but refuses to listen to any of Ranma's excuses.

Continuing from the Previous Chapter
Having gathered Ranma, Soun and Genma, Akane explains that the Jusenkyo Guide informed her that Pantyhose Taro doesn't actually have the Spring of Pious Man. This immediately prompts the others to wonder just what cursed spring water Pantyhose is in possession of. However, after indulging in their fanatasies and agreeing that whatever Happosai turns into it's better than what he's like now, Akane that Pantyhose has the Spring of Drowned Twins.

Terrified at the thought of having to deal with two old perverts, Ranma, Soun and Genma waste no time in chasing down Pantyhose before he uses the water on Happosai.

Meanwhile, just as he finds another pair of defenceless panties, Happosai if attacked by Pantyhose and his Jusenkyo water. After easily avoiding Pantyhose's initial strike, Happosai reminds him that he will never repent and change his name, although Pantyhose thinks he'll soon have a change of hear... and personality. Happosai continues his protests until Pantyhose lures him in with a brassiere. This gives Pantyhose the chance he wanted to pour the water over the old lecher when suddenly Ranma arrives to kick the jar of Pantyhose's grasp.
