Mikami kills Kira's former spokesman for being selfish and recruits the former girlfriend of Light, a newscaster and Kiyomi Takada, to replace him. Light shows himself to Takada as the first Kira, and understanding that the other Kiras and he are under Near's surveil, builds a decoy strategy to hide the location of the authentic Death Note.

Mikami, who writes down the names of everybody in the warehouse except Light soon joins them. Near subsequently shows that he replaced the laptop of Mikami using a forgery and the names written implicate Light as Kira. In despair, Light attempts to make use of the laptop bit that is final in his watch to kill Near, but task force member Touta Matsuda, who's enraged in the way in which Light called his own daddy a victim, shoots him several times.

On a coaching journey in the Bayankala Mountain Range in the Qinghai Province of China, his father Genma and Ranma Saotome belong to the cursed springs at Jusenkyo. They take the physical kind of whatever drowned there hundreds or 1000s of years past every time they touch cold-water when somebody falls into a spring. The hex will revert when exposed until their chilly water exposure to hot-water. While Ranma falls into the springtime of a drowned woman Genma falls to the springtime of a panda.
Upon returning to Japan, the pair settle in Nerima, Tokyo in the dojo of Genma's old friend Soun Tendo, a fellow professional of Musabetsu Kakuto Ryu or "Anything-Goes School" of martial-arts which Genma passed on to Ranma. Soun and Genma concurred years ago that their kids would marry and carry-on the Tendo Dojo. Soun has three teenaged daughters: the somewhat spiteful, martial-arts, the indifferent and selfish Nabiki and the easygoing and polite Kasumi training Akane. Akane, who's Ranma's age, is named for bridal duty by her sisters using the logical thinking that because Ranma is just a guy half of that time period and Akane dislikes guys, they're perfect together. Both Akane and Ranma refuse the betrothal initially, having not been consulted on the conclusion, however they can be usually handled as betrothed and wind up saving or helping each other on some events. They can be generally found in the business of each other and therefore are always claiming in their own hallmark clumsy love-hate mode which is a franchise focus.
Ranma goes to school with Akane at Furinkan High School (Furinkan Koko), where he fulfills his revenant adversary Tatewaki Kuno, the conceited kendo team captain who vigorously pursues Akane, but in addition falls in-love with Ranma's female form without actually finding his hex (despite most other figures understanding it). Nerima functions as a backdrop for mo-Re martial-arts mayhem with all the debut of Ranma's routine competitions, like the eternally lost Ryoga Hibiki who traveled half-way across Japan becoming to the rear in the very front of his home, where Ranma spent three times waiting for him. Where he finally falls to the Spring of Drown Piglet, Ryoga, seeking revenge on Ranma, adopted him to Jusenkyo. Now when splashed with cold-water he takes the kind of a small pig. Not understanding this, Akane requires the piglet as names and a pet it Pchan, but Ranma understands and loathes him for using the scenario and keeping this key. Another competitor is the nearsighted Mousse, who becomes a duck when he gets damp and also falls into the pool that is magic, last but not least, there's Ranma's impish grand-master, Happosai, who spends his time stealing the panties of schoolgirls.
Ranma's future paramours range from the martial-arts rhythmic gymnastics champ his 2nd fiancee and youth pal Ukyo Kuonji, and Kodachi Kuno the seller that is okonomiyaki, combined with the Chinese Amazon Shampoo, supported by her greatgrandmother Cologne. As the show progresses, the college becomes more eccentric using the return of the demented, Hawaii- the keeping the energy as well as obsessed Principal Kuno -leeching switching kid/adult Hinako Ninomiya as Ranma's English teacher. Ranma's irresolution to decide on his love that is true causes turmoil in college life and his intimate
Kusakabe Maron has lived alone for a long time, since she was young and her parents left to travel abroad for their jobs. Her rent gets paid every month, and she always has money for food or whatever else she needs or wants, but her parents haven't even sent a single letter to her in all the years they've been gone. Even though right across the hall is Maron's best friend, and she always puts on a brave face, Maron always dreads the empty apartment at night and the time of day when she stops and checks her mail box, which never has anything in it. Then she meets Finn Fish, the tiny angel-in-training which tells her who she really is: Kaitou Jeanne, the reincarnation of Joan of Arc (called by her French name, Jeanne d'Arc in the series)! Now, as well as dealling with normal high school and an empty mailbox, at night Maron must become Kaitou Jeanne, the amazing art thief who uses special divine tools given to her by the will of God to sneak into people's homes and other places to "steal" beautiful objects which have been inhabited by demons who control the beautiful souls of the people who love the art. These people become greedy and cruel, and will stop at nothing to save the art. And so Jeanne leaves a note card, designating the time she will arrive to steal the art. The process used to seal the demon, however, also causes the art to disappear, and where paintings were a beautiful angel now fills the empty canvas. However, the athorities cannot allow this to go on, and Maron's best friend, who dreams of becoming a detective and is the daughtor of a police chief, will stop at nothing to capture Jeanne and comes up with a new trap every night. Then the smooth-talking Chiaki moves in to the apartment next door to Maron, at the same time as Kaitou Sinbad appears and begins to seal demons as though he were in competition with Jeanne, and with his sidekick, another angel-in-training named Access Time, he is beginning to thwart the police as well as Jeanne. Maron might have bitten off more than she can chew now, because the greatest obstacles still lies ahead: Falling in love with her worst enemy next to the devil himself.
