*# Kodachi Kuno may either be this or ChaoticEvil. She has no moral qualms at all when something she wants is on the line. When Kodachi is first introduced to the series, it\\\'s revealed that she has an established practice of ambushing her potential challengers before the competition and beating them up. She also routinely uses paralytic and soporific poisons, on enemies, allies, and even family alike, has literally hunted potential \\\"boyfriends\\\" like animals since kindergarten, views normal people as \\\"bugs\\\", and was entirely willing to attack/potentially kill bystanders during a contest with a rival. It is very arguable that her rampant flamboyant insanity severely mitigates this however. In the anime continuity, she is shown to actually care about her family, has saved the Tendo family from bankruptcy, and can act perfectly normal and ladylike at times, so here she may be more ChaoticNeutral.
*# Mousse, spends at least the first half of the manga series as vaguely NeutralEvil, dividing his time between work, begging Shampoo for a date, and trying to cut Ranma to ribbons (in the belief that this will impress Shampoo enough to fall in love with him). He is also not above kidnapping Akane or setting traps to gain the advantage, often neither thinks nor cares about potential harm to bystanders, and is quite willing to attack his rival when the latter is severely weakened (Hiryu Shoten Ha arc), or through unguarded subterfuge (Taro arc). He is incredibly loyal and dedicated towards Shampoo however, despite all the abuse that she heaps upon him, and does not actively try to kill anyone except Ranma. As the series progresses, though, he saves Ranma\\\'s life to return a favour, is no longer shown actually attempting to kill his rival, rescinds his most underhanded tactics, and in the final arc is shown as being unwilling to brainwash Shampoo into loving him when given the chance, so at this point he apparently manages to climb up to ChaoticNeutral.

I have three questions:
* 1-Why anime Shampoo and Kodachi are more chaotic than their manga counterparts?
* 2-Why Mousse turned more chaotic in the final arc?
* 3-Why they are neutral in the anime(or in Mousse case, start of the plot) and not chaotic?

All the things mentioned sound chaotic, without one only lawful trait to counterbalance and the description of the transition not explains(seriously, Mousse turned more chaotic because... abandoned his more underhanded tactics?!)

* 2-Why Mousse turned more chaotic in the final arc?

The only difference noted between the two versions of the characters is that the anime(or in Mousse case,final arc) versions are NICER,the motive that they are now more chaotic is not explained. Actually, said entries not explain why they are neutral and not Chaotic in first place.

I have three questions:
* 1-Why anime Shampoo, Kodachi and Mousse are more chaotic than their manga counterparts?
* 2-Why Bowser is more chaotic in his heroic moments?
* 3-Why pos-HeelFaceTurn Jet is more chaotic than his pre-HeelFaceTurn version?

*# Shampoo dips mostly into this alignment in the manga, given her tendency to cheerfully employ manipulation, bullying, or brainwashing, and most notably her embracal of a proclaimed philosophy of killing any obstacle in her path. However, she generally only employs it against romantic rivals, and only acts on it when she can get away with it without alienating Ranma (such as Akane having been kidnapped, so it would appear the kidnapper had done it), under desperate situations (the wedding), or in fighting situations towards women not sufficiently connected to Ranma (Nabiki, Hinako, Ukyo). She also opted to erase Akane\\\'s memory of Ranma in their first fight, but when this didn\\\'t work, tried to go through with it, and agreed to let Ranma handle Hinako rather then actually live up to the Kiss Of Death. She can also manipulate or put Ranma through sadistic games for the fun of it, and has admitted herself that she will try to brainwash him into loving her if she comes across some rare magical item. In the anime, though, she falls more into Chaotic Neutral territory; many of her evil actions are toned down from the manga (for example, in the Love Pill Bracelet story, she doesn\\\'t try to interfere with Ranma\\\'s attempts to keep Happosai away from Akane) or even changed outright into something positive (being willing to let him go back to Akane, giving him a lift there, and giving him the Instant Nanniichuan after a little teasing in the anime, as opposed to having to be paralyzed, manipulated, get it stolen, and showing up to try and make the fight go sour in the manga), and she is generally given a more positive characterization.
*# Kodachi Kuno may either be this or Chaotic Evil. She has no moral qualms at all when something she wants is on the line. When Kodachi is first introduced to the series, it\\\'s revealed that she has an established practice of ambushing her potential challengers before the competition and beating them up. She also routinely uses paralytic and soporific poisons, on enemies, allies, and even family alike, has literally hunted potential \\\"boyfriends\\\" like animals since kindergarten, views normal people as \\\"bugs\\\", and was entirely willing to attack/potentially kill bystanders during a contest with a rival. It is very arguable that her rampant flamboyant insanity severely mitigates this however. In the anime continuity, she is shown to actually care about her family, has saved the Tendo family from bankruptcy, and can act perfectly normal and ladylike at times, so here she may be more ChaoticNeutral.
*# Mousse, spends at least the first half of the manga series as vaguely NeutralEvil, dividing his time between work, begging Shampoo for a date, and trying to cut Ranma to ribbons (in the belief that this will impress Shampoo enough to fall in love with him). He is also not above kidnapping Akane or setting traps to gain the advantage, often neither thinks nor cares about potential harm to bystanders, and is quite willing to attack his rival when the latter is severely weakened (Hiryu Shoten Ha arc), or through unguarded subterfuge (Taro arc).

*Hama no longer cares about trying to restore her tribe as much as she cares about enacting vengeance upon the Fire Nation. She does this by imprisoning and torturing innocent peasants, and taking every measure possible to teach her pupil, Katara, Bloodbending - even if it means making Katara\\\'s brother, Sokka, and her friend/surrogate-little-brother/potential-love-interest Aang (who is the Avatar was well) almost kill each other in the process. Contrast this to Jet, who had a similar alignment at first - being willing to drown an Earth Kingdom town just to drive away Fire Nation troops stationed there - but later acknowledged the evil of his actions and shifted towards ChaoticGood.
*# Bowser due to his strange on-again-off-again Villain Decay appears to fit this alignment moreso than any other. He\\\'s an unrepentant jerk who seems to love nothing more than trying to take over the Mushroom Kingdom and appears to have no actual cause for doing so beyond his personal pleasure.
* He goes more into Chaotic Neutral territory during his more heroic moments however.

None of said entries really explains the motive to them be more chaotic. The Ranma characters are the worst, because them are the only that explain the changes-and the only difference noted between the two versions of the characters is that the anime versions are NICER,the motive that they are more chaotic is not explained.
