After the Ranma ½ logo sequence, Akane Tendo is shown on a sunny day wearing a white summer dress and hat. As she is showing falling through water, breath bubbles released from her mouth display Soun Tendo and Genma Saotome in his panda form, Shampoo and Mousse, Kasumi, Ukyo Kuonji and Ryoga Hibiki, Nabiki, child Hinako Ninomiya and Happosai, and Tatewaki and Kodachi Kuno. Shown from the side, when Akane opens her eyes, she sees Ranma Saotome in his female form as a mirror image. Both are then inverted and walk towards each other.

Akane then realizes that male Ranma is standing behind her and they are shown to be by a river. As Akane smiles and stands up, the wind blows her hat away. Ranma then offers her a flower which she accepts and her eyes dance. However he then notices that they have an audience. Shampoo, Ukyo, Ryoga, Kodachi, and Kuno are mad, while Mousse is puzzled and Genma and Soun are cheering him on. Ranma tries to back away and dodges thrown spatulas and Kodachi's ribbon, but a chúi hits him in the head and he falls into the river. After the title appears again, a painting of an embarrassed Ranma sitting in the river and Akane laughing at her are shown before Akane's hat is revealed to have landed in the river.
