| Season chronology | |
This article lists the episodes and short summaries of the 46th to 69th and 72nd episodes of the Ranma ½ Nettōhen (らんま½ 熱闘編) anime series, known in the English dub as the fourth season of Ranma ½ or "Outta Control".
Rumiko Takahashi's manga series Ranma ½ was adapted into two anime series: Ranma ½ which ran on Fuji TV for 18 episodes and Ranma ½ Nettōhen which ran for 143. The first TV series was canceled due to low ratings in September 1989, but was then brought back in December as the much more popular and much longer-running Ranma ½ Nettōhen.
Viz Media licensed both anime for English dubs and labeled them as one. They released them in North America in seven DVD collections they call "seasons". Nettōhen episodes 46 to 69 (excluding 51) and 72 are season 4, which was given the title "Outta Control". Episode 51 was inserted as episode 63 of season 3 and episode 72 was inserted into this season as episode 88, while 70 and 71 are in season 5.
The opening theme is "No Way! Part 2" (絶対! Part 2, Zettai! Pāto Tsū) by Yoshie Hayasaka. The first closing theme up to episode 54 is "Present" (プレゼント, Purezento) by Tokyo Shōnen, and the second is "Friends" (フレンズ, Furenzu) by Yoko Takahashi, also known as YAWMIN. The English dub only uses "Friends" as a closing, "Present" was never actually heard in the English dub.
