The movie revolves around the ongoing romantic and martial arts hijinks of Ranma Saotome (voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi), a boy who has the ability to transform into a girl whenever he is splashed with cold water, and his fiancée Akane Tendo (voiced by Noriko Hidaka), who is also a skilled martial artist.

Ranma and Akane, along with their fellow martial artist and friends, are invited to participate in a tournament on a mysterious island called Nekonron, where they discover that their rival Kuno Tatewaki (voiced by Hirotaka Suzuoki) has also been invited. However, they soon realize that the tournament is actually a trap set up by the evil dragon prince Prince Kirin (voiced by Toshihiko Seki), who intends to capture Akane and make her his bride.

Ranma and his friends must navigate a series of challenges and battles against Kirin's minions, including his three powerful daughters, in order to rescue Akane and save the island from destruction. Along the way, they encounter new friends and allies, including a brave young girl named Lychee (voiced by Megumi Hayashibara) who has her own reasons for wanting to stop Kirin.
