The worst was when she challenged Kodachi in a clan duel, which was a serious matter she didn't think much of as the prideful tomboy was too full of herself and deluded herself into thinking she could beat Kodachi, despite the fact Kodachi had beaten her numerous times in the past. After losing, Akane was forced to never challenge Kodachi again or bring dishonor upon her family name.

[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6492923/30/Becoming-a-Man-Among-Men Becoming a Man Among Men]] is a divergence fic by Dragon6.

Diverging from the point of Jusenkyo, Ranma discovers Genma's journal where he learned of all the deals he's done in his name and the plans he has in store for him. Needless to say, he wasn't happy Genma planned to live off of his hard work. After getting forcibly taken to the Tendo Dojo, he became adamant against going with the wishes of Genma and Soun's plan to have him married off to a Tendo girl. Ranma is determined to be the exact opposite of what Genma is and to branch off from the Anything Goes branch to form his own branch of fighting. He also isn't afraid to speak his mind and shows respect to those he feels deserves it.
