Movie Context
Ranma ½ the Movie 2: Battle at Togenkyo! Get Back the Brides (1992) is the second theatrical film based on Rumiko Takahashi’s hit manga. The story begins with a yachting trip hosted by Kuno. A sudden storm destroys the vessel, stranding the entire cast on a mysterious tropical island. When Kasumi suddenly disappears, Nabiki coolly suggests that they go look for her—setting the stage for the group’s perilous journey deeper into the island, where brides are being kidnapped by a cursed prince.
Why Collect This Cel
Production cels of Nabiki from theatrical releases are significantly rarer than TV counterparts. This cel highlights her unique tank-top outfit and elegant close-up expression from one of the franchise’s most memorable feature films.
