I'll Never Let Go (この手ははなさない Kono te wa hanasanai?) is the 27th chapter of the manga and the fifth chapter of the Martial Arts Figure Skating Arc. Mikado and Azusa execute their finishing manuever, the Goodbye Whirl. All skating pairs before Ranma and Akane have been defeated by this technique, but they manage to hang on, and rather than let Akane hit the wall, Ranma takes the brunt of the crash.
