Among all characters, I'm a big fan of Dr. Tofu. He's like this all-knowing wiseman...until Kasumi arrives and his true goofiness manifests itself. It's almost as if he has a dual personality. While it's a shame RT phased him out so suddenly, I also understand why he was no longer needed in the manga. A great character who deserved a slightly more significant role, if for no other reason for him to try to show Kasumi how much he loves her (a great running gag opportunity).

If it were narrowed to the main group, read my name. I'm into psychology a little, and I can say with confidence that Freud would have a field day with Ranma, to say the least. But he's managed to adjust to it on his own, which is admirable considering the lunacy that surrounds his daily life. Just a fun character. I made two sports teams featuring only RT characters, and both of them feature Ranma as a Hall of Fame-level talent (football and baseball). A unique combination of badassery and goofiness that cannot be described with words.

I guess I'm one of the few people who's not a big Ryoga fan. His resiliance is definitely endearing, but there's a point where it becomes annoying, and he's passed it for me. Still humorous, though and definitely the catalyst for some of the series' most outrageous moments.

I think just about any character in the series, except arguably Kasumi or Nabiki would have that effect on Freud. And Happosai would try to make him his student after hearing all of Freud's theories about sex. Sound about right?

Now that you mention it, Ranma might be one of the most NORMAL characters in the cast. He doesn't seem to have any real defense mechanisms since his constant training prevented any opportunity to develop them.

Kuno on the other hand, has delusions of the highest degree. Ranma has switched genders in the guy's arms, and it leads him to think Ranma's a sorceror instead of getting it! It's guys like that who make psychologists all kinds of dough. Ryoga would be an interesting study too.

A friend of mine's a psychologist, and I nearly convinced her to do an analysis of Ranma. At the very least it would be interesting. The Wikipedia pages for these characters, especially Kuno, delves into a little psychology in an effort to explain behavior.

I apologize for any offense I may have caused you. I am well aware of the difficulty of obtaining such a degree.I assisted friend of mine in studying for one of her exams, and I was very proud when she passed. She takes it very seriously, and I was personally offended when Tom Cruise started mouthing off to Matt Lauer on the Today Show a few years ago.

I don't take Wikipedia's pages seriously, so guess I should have said that they try but come up short. It's more along the lines of hypotheses based on visual evidence rather than actual analysis.

Edit: This topic merits its own discussion line, so I'm starting a new post so that the original topic on this board can resume.
