After losing Genma, Ranma gets roped in by Yotaro's mother to get Yotaro to go outside in exchange for all the expensive food Genma ate during his visit. Eventually Ranma loses her willingness to put up with Yotaro so she decides to leave with "Kumahachi" (Yotaro's nickname for Genma's panda form). This finally forces Yotaro's hand, who chases desperately after the pair. Seeing her son finally running outside, Yotaro's mother is overjoyed.
