Anything-Goes Martial Arts
Years later Koari and her father went to the Tendo Dojo to get Ranma but Soun Tendo informed Mr.Daikoku that Ranma was engaged to Akane so Koari proposed that they use the Martial Art Takeout Race to decide who is Ranma's fiancée, Koari and Akane made to near the end of the race and she captured Akane with the Ramen Round Up Noodle Noose, luckily Ranma (in his female form) broke the rope and rescued Akane, he then proceeded to race Koari to the finish line and grab her legs so she would slow down giving Akane the chance to win the race, Akane won the race and the Daikoku's were never seen again
