Bow Down!

Dogeza sasema–su! (土下座させまーす！) is the 359th chapter of the manga it is also the second and last chapter of the Repentance Room Arc.

Hinako finally confronts the Principal with the intention of blowing him away.

Confrontation
There is a clamor within the students as they watch the face-off between Ms. Hinako and the principal. The principal seems very confident with his bodyguards standing right behind him. He introduces the Evil Three, and the shadowy figures uncloak themselves one by one. They are aptly named Evil Swordsman, Evil Elder, and Evil Queen. When they reveal themselves, they turn out to be Tatewaki, Happosai, and Nabiki respectively.

Kuno reveals that he did it in order to have a chance to date Hinako. Nabiki reveals that she did it because the principal offered her 10,000 yen. When confronted, Happosai claims that he did it to stop Hinako from getting too powerful, but Ranma taps his head a few times and several gym shorts fall out, revealing that he had been bribed as well. Ranma promptly boots him out of the field. When the principal calls upon Nabiki, she flees the scene with the money, leaving only Kuno to fight for the principal. Unfortunately, Ms. Hinako proves too strong for Kuno, who is blasted away by Happo No-Yen Coin Return.

Having dealt with the Evil Three, Ranma turns to the principal only to find a bomb in a shape of a papaya. The bomb then blows up in the face of all the students and they collectively decide to look for the principal for their teacher.

The Search
Hinako leads the search by first going through all the students' lockers, stealing their food in the process. Ranma spots the principal going into a room. When Ranma enters the room, a heavy weight falls on him and on the ground he notices markings for placing his hands and knees for bowing posture. Principal Kuno sits in front of the marking telling Ranma he has no choice. But instead of bowing, Ranma places his hands on the marking and kicks the principal's face.

Ranma holds onto Principal Kuno as Hinako charged her chi blast. Instead of a simple Happo No-Yen Coin Return, she charges up her shot and unleashes Happo No Yen Hatred Bazooka, which blasts a hole in the side of the School building.

Even with such a tremendous blast, she retains her adult self and finds Ranma under a blanket to hide from the blast. When Hiroshi and Daisuke lift up the blanket to see if the principal is hiding in there, they once again see markings of hands and knees. This time, a cupcake is placed on the marking, which Ms. Hinako goes for without hesitation. The markings turn out to be a trap, one designed to clamp the person into a bowing position once triggered. Ranma pushes her out of the way just as the clamp closes. Having secured her food, Hinako senses that Ranma is angry with her and offers him some of the cupcake.

Just then they notice the principal running away, covered with a blanket but still wearing his iconic sunglasses. He runs into a building that has never existed before. Ranma follows him in and finds another marking, this time made in some kind of glue. Ranma doesn't fall for the trap and stands at the doorway, but Hinako bumps into him and they both fall into the glue. The building walls then collapse to reveal the sticky floor and Principal Kuno celebrates his victory.

Ranma does not accept defeat and manages to lift himself and Hinako up along with the entire glue sheet. Hinako unleashes her final Happo No Yen Hundred Fold Return attack that manages to hit the principal and sends him flying skyward. Afterwards Hinako returns to her normal self, but has no memory of the event, or even the fact that Ranma is under her. She and the rest of the students return to class and Hinako resumes teaching, unaware of the remains of glue sheet or Ranma under her.
