Holy crap, but that {{Ranma}} is example is one WallOfText.
I chopped out a lot of extraneous narrative material to just leave the elements relevent to this trope. Changed:
* \\\'\\\'A late manga story arc of \\\'\\\'Manga/RanmaOneHalf\\\'\\\' introduces the Musk Dynasty, who use magic to bring about this precise effect and are one part VillainOfTheWeek to one part WackyWaysideTribe. Generations ago, the Musk\\\'s ancestors were a group of martial artists who wanted to become the greatest masters of the various \\\"Animal Styles\\\" of Kung Fu. So, they settled in a valley near [[TransformationRay Jusenkyô]], crafted two magical items to enable or disable ShapeshifterModeLock, and took to capturing animals, cursing them in the Spring of Drowned Girl, locking them in that form, and having kids with them to ensure that the children would gain the traits of their moms\\\' original species and thus be natural masters of the related style. It seems to have worked; Herb, a dragon-blooded, is an incredibly powerful ki user, the tiger-blooded Lime is a MightyGlacier and wolf-blooded Mint is a FragileSpeedster. However, it also seems to have done a number on their mental abilities, which may be why that Herb says they gave up the practice some time ago. While the sheer misogyny of their lifestyle may be partially to blame (Musk boys are taken from their mothers once they\\\'re weaned and don\\\'t have any contact with the opposite sex until it\\\'s time for them to marry), Mint and Lime are dimwitted and girl-obsessed, to the point of openly fantasizing about holding hands with girls, touching or seeing breasts, and grabbing girls in the middle of the street to try and make these dreams come true. And Herb, though generally smarter, was still dumb enough to take the Locking Ladle with him to Jusenkyô; when he turned a monkey into a girl to be able to see what a woman\\\'s body looked like before he got married. [[WhatAnIdiot Even though he only intended to have the monkey-girl around for a few moments and just let her run off afterwards]]. Naturally, this gets him a GenderBender curse and stuck in female form to boot, forcing him/her to come to Japan to get it fixed.\\\'\\\'
