Cover of the DVD box set by Viz.

This article lists the episodes and short summaries of the 95th to 118th episodes of the Ranma ½ Nettōhen (らんま½ 熱闘編) anime series, known in the English dub as the sixth season of Ranma ½ or "Random Rhapsody".

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 95 to 118 are season 6, which was given the title "Random Rhapsody".

The opening and closing theme songs up to episode 99 are "Earth Orchestra" (地球オーケストラ Chikyū Ōkesutora) by Kusu Kusu and "Red Poppy" (ひなげし Hinageshi) by Michiyo Nakajima respectively. The second are "Don't Cry Anymore" (もう泣かないで Mō Nakanaide) by Azusa Senou and "Positive" by Miho Morikawa. For episode 118 the themes are "Love Seeker (Can't Stop It)" (ラブ·シーカー~CAN’T STOP IT Ravu Shīkā ~ Can't Stop It) by the band Vision and "Hill of the Rainbow and the Sun" (虹と太陽の丘 Niji to Taiyō no Oka) by Piyo Piyo.
