Ryoga vs. Ukyo

 is the 88th chapter of the manga and the fourth chapter of the Ukyo Kuonji Intro Arc.

Ryoga arrives amidst talk of Ranma's new fiancé, Ukyo. Ryoga is extremely mad that Ranma would once again hurt Akane by having another fiancé, but when Ukyo arrives Ryoga mistakes her for a boy and attacks her.

Ryoga's Return
The revelation of Ukyo Kuonji also being a fiancé of Ranma's has become the hot topic amongst the students of Furinkan High School. It doesn't take for long for Ranma to be the focus of his friends, who note how lucky Ranma is for having two fiancés. However, Ranma doesn't view it this way as he had enough troubles with his un-cute fiancé (referring to Akane). Obviously angered by this comment, Akane begins to attack Ranma while telling him just to switch to his cute fiancé instead.

As Ranma jumps around to avoid Akane's attacks, he is soon squashed under a large, which turns out to belong to Ryoga who bought it for Akane. After Akane greets Ryoga, he explains he heard about the rumours of Ranma having another fiancé. Akane tells Ryoga that it's okay as she doesn't care who Ranma goes out with, a fact which Ranma reiterates. Ryoga, however, isn't having any of these excuses and declares that even if the new fiancé was hideous he won't see Akane insulted by a two-timing lout.

Ryoga then proceeds to attack Ranma, but Ranma easily avoids the attacks and kicks Ryoga in anger at suggesting he would get engaged to an ancient clay statue. Ukyo then joins the fray by throwing some smaller Spatulas at Ryoga (all of which he avoids) before affirming that she won't have her engagement ridiculed and demands Ryoga take back what he said. After Ryoga blocks an attack from Ukyo's giant Spatula he notes that it appears Ranma has gotten an ally, he then runs towards Ukyo with his umbrella.

Akane swiftly calls out to Ryoga and tells him that Ukyo's female. This stops Ryoga momentarily, but after looking at Ukyo he still believes her to be male and continues with his attack. Struggling to avoid Ryoga's attacks, Ukyo uses a flour bomb to get the upper hand. Amongst the smoke from the flour, Ukyo attempts to hit Ryoga with her Spatula again, but he manages to avoid her and subsequently jumps into the air and throws his umbrella at Ukyo, managing to cut open Ukyo's uniform.

With Ukyo more concerned about covering her cleavage, Ryoga is able to right next to her to deliver a punch. While Akane shouts to Ryoga to stop, Ranma steps in and shows Ryoga Ukyo's cleavage before asking him if still thinks Ukyo's a guy. Ranma then proceeds to kick the stunned Ryoga into the side of the school building, although Ukyo isn't impressed with Ranma showing his fiancés chest to another man so hits him with the handle of her giant Spatula.
