Legend of the Lucky Panda! (幸せのパンダ伝説, Shiawase no Panda Densetsu?) is the 109th episode of Ranma ½ Nettohen, and the 129th episode of the 1989 Ranma ½ anime overall, though it was originally the 127th episode aired.
Summary[]
After a training accident, Genma finds himself in a feudal-esque land where he's worshiped as a deity. What's really strange is that the inhabitants all look very familiar.
Plot Overview[]
One day, Genma is training near a waterfall. Then, he plunges into the water and becomes his panda self. Kanna (Akane's alter ego) finds panda Genma. Genma sees Kanna's face and holds a sign which asks if she remembers him. Kanna screams and Hayato (Kuno's alter ego) comes. Hayato wants to kill the panda and make it a betrothal gift to Kanna, so he sends his four henchmen to kill the panda. Then, all of a sudden, Kotaro (Ranma's alter ego) swoops in, and uses his feet to divert Hayato's face from looking down. Genma then sees Kotaro and holds another sign, asking the same thing that he asked Kanna. Hayato promises that he will return.
It then cuts to the feudal Tendo household where Kasumi, Nabiki, Principal Kuno, and Soun are. Soun is the village elder. Unfortunately, he is sick. Happosai and Cologne have tried to cure his illness, but they told Kanna that only the heart of a panda can cure his sickness. This makes Principal Kuno deliver his iconic "oh my God" line in his Hawaiian accent.

Trivia[]
- This is the anime exclusive episode.
- Hayato's family name is not given in the dub.
- We never learn the names of Soun's, Nabiki's, Kasumi's, Sasuke's, Happosai's, Cologne's, or the Principal's counterparts.
- Genma is the only main Tendo resident not to have a feudal counterpart in this episode. Kotaro's parents are not seen anywhere here. Their status is unknown.
- Kotaro is also the name of Ushinosuke Oshamanbe's steer from Episode 108. The steer was renamed Botsie in the english dub.
- It's not clear why the principal's counterpart is with Kanna's (Akane's) family in this setting. He does not seem to have the same family bond with Hayato that his counterpart has with Kuno. It's possible that he's meant to be Kanna's uncle or grandfather or perhaps a servant but it's never directly stated. It is also possible that he might be Kotaro's father.
- Hayato in general seems far more villainous than his Furinkan counterpart, more than willing to use lethal force against Genma and Kotaro to get what he wants. He uses a spear rather than a sword for battle.
