The Crepe King
Whilst visiting Okonomiyaki Ucchan's, Ranma is treated by Ukyo to some complimentary. Seeing how Ranma wolfs down her cooking, Ukyo wonders how terrible it must be living in someone else's house when Akane walks and immediately challenges Ukyo on her making it sound like there's nothing good to eat at the Tendo Dojo.

After Akane slams Ranma's face onto the grill with her satchel, Ukyo starts talking about how everyone now knows that she's Ranma's true fiancé, therefore making Akane his ex-faincé. Instead of arguing with Ukyo, Akane sits down and requests two takeout Okonomiyaki.

As Ukyo starts making the order, Ranma can't help but notice how slow business seems at the moment. After looking around the otherwise empty restaurant, Ukyo reluctantly notes how she feels like all her regular customers have moved away. Hearing this, Akane can't help but wonder if everyone is at the new Crepe wagon which has just opened and is attracting all the Furinkan High students.

Once the trio arrive at the wagon, Ukyo and Ranma are shocked to see all the attention it's getting, especially from customers/students who used to frequent Ucchan's. They then watch as the chef, Crepe Joe, puts on an impressive show as he prepares his customer's orders. Ukyo, however, doesn't fall for Joe's dramatics and compares him to a westernised dumpling maker. Having heard this Joe can't help himself from challenging Ukyo's comments and the pair prepare to fight each other. But despite her best effort, Ukyo is easily defeated by Joe who proceeds to describe her Okonomiyaki as an old-fashioned oddity.

Having seized victory, Joe leaves with his fans in pursuit whilst Ukyo falls to her knees in devastation. Just then a priest appears (having just watched the fight) and asks to try some of Ukyo's Okonomiyaki. The Priest informs Ukyo that her Okonomiyaki is good, but lacks Battle Aura which is why she lost.

Ukyo's Training
That evening, as they stand underneath a train bridge, Ranma tries to reassure Ukyo that she'll beat Joe next time. Ukyo, however, is still thinking about what the priest said as she knows that she's not ready to beat somebody like Joe. She then proceeds to comment on how she threw aside her femininity so that she could take revenge on Ranma, but adds that she no longer cooks Okonomiyaki to defeat Ranma but to please him, which has ruined her skill.

At that moment tears begin rushing down Ukyo's face, causing Ranma to tell her that her Okonomiyaki is great and doesn't need any battle aura. However, this causes Ukyo to ask Ranma if this means that even if her Okonomiyaki is weak he'll still marry her, which forces Ranma to retort that that is an entirely different matter. Unfortunately this just upsets Ukyo further who now sees herself as not being worthy of a martial artist of Anything Goes Martial Arts.

With this in mind Ukyo turns around and declares that she isn't coming back until she can cook Okonomiyaki worthy of Ranma. She then turns to Akane and tells her to take care of Ranma while she's gone before proceeding to run off from the pair. Akane then instructs Ranma to go and stop Ukyo, but Ranma doesn't wish to as it may just makes things worse.
