In "Enter Kuno, the Night-Prowling Knight," the third season of the anime series Ranma 1/2 introduces us to a new character, Kuno Tatewaki's younger sister Kodachi Kuno. Kodachi is a freshman at Furinkan High School and a member of the school's gymnastics team, known for her aerial skills and signature weapon, a rose whip.

When Kodachi sees her brother Kuno's infatuation with Akane Tendo, she vows to eliminate her competition. She concocts a plan to use her gymnastics team's upcoming exhibition to lure Akane into a trap and defeat her using her acrobatics and cunning skills.

Meanwhile, Ranma Saotome is dealing with his own love triangle drama. He is torn between his feelings for Akane and his arranged engagement to the beautiful yet mean-spirited Ukyo Kuonji. Ukyo, who also happens to be a skilled martial artist and uses her skills to win Ranma's affection, devises a plan of her own to try and sway Ranma back to her side.

The episode follows Kodachi's plan to eliminate Akane and Ranma's attempts to stop her. In the process, we see Kodachi's twisted personality and her desire to win her brother's approval, even if it means hurting others.
