Summary

Sometime after first arriving at the Tendo Dojo, Genma Saotome who is in his panda form goes to take a Bath in the Dojo's Undermount Bathtub and wears a Wash Cloth on his head so he can return to his human friend so he can formally talk with his long time friend Soun Tendo.

Later on, Ranma Saotome has a Furo session in his female form after Kasumi Tendo told him to bathe after being sweaty from sparring with Akane Tendo. He sits on a Bath Stool and pours cold water over himself with a Bath Bucket and then soaks into the hot water in the undermount bathtub. Akane Tendo comes into the Ofuro's Changing Room and starts Stripping. As Ranma is Getting Out of the tub now in his male form, Akane walks in naked holding a towel and both of them meet eyes seeing each other fully nude. Akane quietly puts on the top of her karate gi and leaves the bathroom and then lets out of huge scream making a scene among the household revealing Ranma's secret to everyone there.
