>>124140620
I don't care that he's black, I just think cosplayers are mental deficients so self-absorbed that they have to fling themselves mercilessly at others for self-gratification. Plus, they take up all the hall space at conventions and become obstacles to traffic. Fuck these people to death with baboons.

Was Kasumi Tendo ever shown to have a life?

>>124140682
Kasumi surrendered a large chunk of her life in order to assume the mother role for Nabiki and Akane. It's pretty much a given she'll either marry Doc Tofu after Akane gets married, or remain in the status quo because she's actually happy.

Shampoo, though? I have no doubt she'd go through with it.

>>124141168
Ukyo believed he was complicit in Genma's scheme and that he'd used and abandoned her. Her beef was more legitimate than Shampoo's (though Shampoo's grievance wasn't exactly small potatoes given how her village worked). It's ironic that Shampoo wanted to kill Ranma for being a girl, and Ukyo wanted to kill him for being a guy.

It's extremely rare, even now. Since blue eyes are recessive, a Japanese would have to have Ainu genes in their background for it to even have a chance to manifest naturally.

In the case of Ranma, I think the decision was made by the anime studio design team. Coming from a black-and-white medium into full color, with Takahashi's drawing style as a reference, there's a lot of similarities between Ranma and Ryoga physically, so giving Ranma blue eyes (just like giving his female form red hair instead of black) helps as a distinguishing feature of the character. I don't think Takahashi ever considered him to have blue eyes.

>>124141825
The Ainu are a Caucasian race native to the Japanese island archipelago that were gradually pushed north by the Yamato until they were all but extinct. Pockets of them still survive today in Hokkaido. Typically, Japanese with more-than-usual body hair, lighter-than-black hair, or lighter-than-brown eyes have Ainu genes in them.

Romans marched all the way to China. As far as the Ainus go, who knows? Probably got carried to the south from the eastern edge of Russia.

Middle Easterners are kind of at the transition point between Africa and Eurasia. They've probably got a bit of all 3 in them.

>>124142120
I'm reasonably sure China predates Rome.

>>124142004
They'd apparently crossed over during the last Ice Age and settled onto the islands. The origin of the Yamato ethnic group is hotly debated today, but the current theory is that there were three migrations that occurred relatively simultaneously between the Ainu, the Yayoi, and the Jumon, all crossing over from northern Asia or the southern islands and cohabitating Kyushu, Shikoku, and Honshu until they'd mingled themselves together real well. The Ainu settled in north Honshu and Hokkaido and were a sort of ethnic enclave that came into conflict with the others, who'd unified as the Yamato ethnic group mentioned in Chinese texts dating to the Three Kingdoms era, so they were already an established thing by that point. The genetics are a mess and the archaeology is just as bad, so there's been a lot of conjecture and nothing concrete.

Yeah, apparently a land bridge connected Korea and the Kamchatka Peninsula in Asia with Japan, and sometime in the past 30,000 years or so people made the crossing. The Ainu have some Paleoindian genetic markers but are decidedly Caucasoid, while the Yamato have markers from central east Asia and a mishmash of other locales.
