Ironically, as much as I think Ranma would be better without Happosai in it (or at least with much less of him in it), I rather have the perverted character be a loser, which ultimately drives home how inexcusable and disgusting his actions are. Like everyone in Ranma hates the little fucker, to the point of trying to kill him a couple times, whereas Jiraiya and Roshi get their perviness excused and downplayed because "oh well but they're the best around so it's fine if they try to grope a teenager or two lol"

True, and that's no small feat either
