Monkey-Mountain Temple



The Monkey-Mountain Temple (さる山寺) is a remote temple located in the mountains that Soun Tendo along with Genma, and Ranma Saotome visit because Soun has heard that it houses a legendary suit of armor that will make its wearer stronger. The monk at the temple is very eager to give it to them, and throws in a swivel chair and Seven Lucky Gods wallet as incentives. Soun takes the armor home, but it turns out that only Akane can wear it. Despite its location, the temple has a landline that Soun calls to ask about the armor’s secret and later to return it.
