Naughty Bits Comic Art! Kodachi & Ranma-chan: Hardcore Rematch

Added 2025-07-08 06:48:15 +0000 UTC

Kodachi wants a Martial Arts Gymnastics rematch with the redhead who defeated her, but Ranma better be careful... this time anything truly goes!

Remastering details:

Remastered in UHD.
Numerous splotch & noise cleanup.
In panel 5, a chain that was awkwardly poking Ranma-chan in the nipple has been moved. Additionally, all the chains have been repositioned for a more logical setup.
We determined that the low resolution backgrounds would look atrocious in UHD. For this reason, we decided to completely replace all backgrounds.
Without a 3D background available, we modified a 2D basketball gymnasium as best we could for the task. The results are pretty good, but be aware that some of the weaker elements may show up on the newly created Clean Edition as a result of us hiding less polished stuff behind dialog balloons. Those weaker elements we could not hide, we did our best to manually fix or paint out.
Complete layout rebuild. The team was intensely unhappy with the presentation of each comic page, which had irregular height and width that did not scale well to UHD. Boldly, we COMBINED parts 1 and 2 of this comic set into a single, unified page. This was made possible by eliminating the vast empty space around the characters and reducing the size of the abstract panel, which was drawing too much attention.
With the layout changing, dialog balloons have been redone as well.
Dialog has been slightly altered in various panels, with Ranma not accepting defeat at the end being the largest needed change. It also makes Ranma more wary of the RHB, but I think given our track record it's proven that we deserve her scrutiny. 😈
Kodachi's "SHOUT" balloon has been altered to have more energy in the "abstract" lower left panel. Neat stuff we should try to do more often in the future.
The original editions are also included in the attached archive for comparison so that viewers can see all of these improvements.

Until next time patrons, with action so hot, we hope this "best of 3" contest will keep seesawing enough to become a long-running saga! 🙃
