They might go after him just because of what he demonstrated the ability to do. Having their martial arts stripped from them seems like a fate worse than death for a dedicated practitioner, or at least that's what all the stories tell me.
It's 90s anime tho so it's only season 0 of yugioh that could apply which is worse as it means all the bad guys and stuff are there and undealt with like that tile game about summoning dragons that causes natural disasters when played tho it also means Al might get some enjoyment out of the things that died off later like the tabletop game Bakura played.
Well there's the source of conflict with the sailor moon and the anime with the pacto things they won't appreciate the giant craters in the moon and mars.
Counterpoint, who in the cast would want to risk throwing hands with that same man on just the off chance he might come for them too?
As it isn't like how big a bastard Genma is something the cast isn't aware of and should easily reason this attack was a result of said shit.

That implies literally anyone involved is capable of using reason rather than defaulting to either punching or comedy gags.
OK, fair point this will end in a cluster fuck.

Once Areru is gone, none of them will know who he is or how to find him, since he looks different and is wearing a mask.

You mixed up the date format; it has been consistently day/month/year. You want 16/6/1993.
Areru can just teleport directly to and from the Moon. He only used Accelerator to get there in Worm because he was hiding his magic. For that matter, the first time he went to Mars (chapter 128) he teleported home, which took only thirteen jumps at one light-minute per teleport. That was with Teleport at level 17; his range should be significantly better now. Maybe not all the way to Mars, but that is what leaving a Mark is for.
Accelerator is for visiting Saturn without double-casting Gate.

Alec can 16x any spell right? Or did he added more since the Meteor on Zombie-Earth thing?
Also, what misture of spells did he use to (transfer? steal?) Genma's Martial Arts?
Asking because that would be a funny trick to do on a rpg campaign I'm running and that would let one of my players to re-espec her character.

With access to all of his Materia and such, he can now x728 or something ridiculous like that. He does not have access to them. Well, he could, but he's afraid his stuff will get stolen/broken by the goddess that put him here if he opens the demi-plane. No idea what he can manage without.
As for what he used on Genma, he named the spell in-chapter: Soulsucker, from the game Demon's Souls.
As ForestGardener stated, it's Soulsucker. In the Demon's Souls game, it's a spell that can only be acquired in New Game Plus by choosing the 'good' ending and then waiting until near the end of the NG+ cycle to get the correct vendor unlocked to turn your good ending reward into a spell.
Against non-boss enemies, it auto-kills them and gives you double the experience.
Against enemy player characters, it reduces their level. In game, this can be explained as destroying the souls they've consumed and the experiences they've gained to reach their inhuman power.
Or not.
It's FromSoft. They don't explain anything directly.

So how did Areru know that it wouldn't kill him? Because it very well might have. What would he have done then?
I mean, he absolutely would've deserved it, and Areru would've been able to escape with nobody able to find him after, but still.

Well, now I gotta know. Let's-a go!
Multiple reasons!
Among them is that Genma, despite loudly admitting that he's a monster, is not a demon. Specifically, he's not a soul-starved demon. Which would be the intended target for Soulsucker to actually kill, destroy and consume.
The humans in the setting of Demon's Souls did not start out as monsters. Rather, they were slowly tainted by the fog, the breath of the primordial demon until their natures twisted more and more towards what the entity could consume.
Second. For Areru to be pulling something out, it's going to be something that Alchemist mastered. I don't recall the specific chapter but I do recall Al, Jinx and Kary going on their own Item World trips and Al taking the opportunity to just level it up on anything that moved.
The spell could have killed Genma, if Areru held it long enough. Given the condition of the man following Areru's actions, he probably would have only had to hold it a bit longer.
Instead, Areru cut it off when the spell had finished destroying and consuming -most- of what Genma had built upon himself.
In Xianxia cultivation bullshit terms? Areru has a demonic cultivation spell and he just used it to cripple Genma's cultivation.
The date's been fixed. And quite right, Areru could just teleport straight to the moon.
His thoughts were a bit jumbled there at the end, I think. Back in DC!YJ there's constant news stories about what Alchemist got up to on the moon. Messing with the flag up there and re-igniting the international space race, pulling a Bugs Bunny skit on the astronauts that went up there to fix what he'd done.
That kind of thing. It'd probably be funny to do something else like that. It'd be funny for us to watch Luna, Sailor Moon's royal pain in the butt, flip out over that.
For teleporting to Mars? He's got the range to pull it off decently enough. The problem there is going to be waiting until it's in a good spot where he can see it in the sky. I'll need to check on that around that time period.

Wait, what? I do not remember him reignighting the space race or trolling the astronaughts.

He pushed the American flag over and added a Chinese Flag I think, which China at first denied and then said they did, and then later on went and happened to pop out of the zombie ID on the moon when American astronauts were there to fix their flag I think, which yeah that might just have reignited the space race in a sorta off screen impact.
Limited Wish for Psychic Reformation would also let her respec.

I think it was the other way around, first time he went to the moon he found that the American Flag from the Moon Landing had been pushed to the side and a Chinese Flag had been put in it's place, he fixed things, and then he did something(I can't recall what) to get people looking at the moon, and they noticed the Chinese Flag Up there
That sort of happened but it was one of the green lanterns (Hal iirc) who when he was on the moon saw the Chinese flag, flipped out and tossed it out into space.
How often in "Ranma 1/2" are warning labels written in Chinese?
If Alchemist mastered [Tongues] and [Comprehend Languages], would the stress of being around Chinese-speaking martial artists cause Alchemist's polyglot/omnilingualism to manifest?
Bonus points if Elder Khu Lon enjoys being around someone who fluently speaks the Joketsuzoku dialect of Chinese. Cologne: "It's so nice to talk in a civilized language."
Three questions:
Is Genma going to be back to normal in a few days or so, status quo restored and all that, or is he actually going to stay weakened?
Is A going to leave Ranma and Co. a note telling them about the whole making peace with the spirit thing?
Is A going to be more involved in the various plots? Or is he going to keep being a weird background character that doesn't do much?

17/6/1993
Ryoko watched, her eyes wide and curious as Areru very, very slowly backed out of the fourth greenhouse that he built. Out where the burnt wreck of a little shed used to stand. He had a rope in his hands, one that he was slowly wrapping around and around in a circle as he muttered about something like 'expanding into an implied pseudo-dimension' and other stuff like that.
The building of steel and glass groaned, metal creaked loudly but, this time, there was no shattering of glass. No spiderwebs ripping their way across the visible surfaces. Whatever he was doing was stressing the material but not to the point of breaking.
This time.
A brown mass unfurled in the doorway of the greenhouse as Areru kept backing away, studded with a big, round eye-hook that Areru's rope was tied to.
And that was where it got stuck. The big, brown mass of leather, covered over in strange symbols that Ryoko knew she'd never seen anywhere else in the universe, was caught in the doorway. Looking to the side, she saw Areru's mouth twist into a scowl for a moment before the second Areru power-walked out of the house and made his way over to where the giant, stitched-together sheet of leather was jammed.
That one started to twist and push at the leather mass in the doorway as the Areru with the rope pulled and jerked in different directions, slowly working the leather sheet loose.
It took thirty minutes, at least, and Areru had ended up exploding out of his clothes at one point when he turned into the big, black creature he referred to as a dragon so he could apply better leverage. But, eventually, the sheet was pulled out of the greenhouse.
Ryoko remembered watching as Areru stitched the massive piece together by hand. Originally, it'd been put together from dozens of one-meter leather squares that were incredibly thin, though quite a few around the door and making up the roof had to be cut into different shapes. Now?
It was made up of dozens of four-meter leather squares that were centimeters thick. He'd complained about it being heavy and awkward before but now it had to be worse. Sixty-four times worse, at least, if Ryoko didn't factor in the awkward dimensions of the half-cube of the triangular roof.
Watching her friend drop the rope from his jaw, Ryoko slid around his equally exhausted other half and poked her head into the greenhouse. The facility was... not massive, exactly. But it had gone from being a three-meter cube, inside and out, to being a three-meter cube on the outside and a twelve-meter cube on the inside. The panes of magically reinforced glass looked massive from the inside but they warped the view of the outside, making the world beyond seem strangely magnified.
It had gone from taking her about three or four 'steps' to cross from one side to the other to a much more useful fifteen to twenty.
Floating back outside, Ryoko hovered over the mass of expanded animal skin and then dropped down in front of the panting dragon. He looked up to her, away from the project that had finally succeeded and... said nothing. Just watched and waited.
'What will you do?' she signed, her fingers dancing through the motions, before she turned and pointed at the misshapen leather box.
"I don't know," his other half answered. Ryoko didn't turn to watch him as he spoke, though she did listen. Instead, she hovered down until she was leaning against the dragon, silently reveling in the contact that she could make with the creature. "I can't re-use it, I know that much. Not as a magical component, at least. I might be able to cut it up and sell it back to the guy I got it from?"
That sounded inconvenient. It would have been nice if they had some way to just re-use the leather sheets but she -had- listened when he'd been muttering and struggling through his notes when he'd still been blowing up little glass boxes.
'Soft' components used in magic were the most likely to be ruined by the magic. Whereas 'hard' components could often be salvaged or remade. But there was a lot of crossover between the two and it ended up changing based on the magic that was being worked.
Animal components that weren't bone were almost universally ruined. Bones were pretty commonly in the in-between sector. On the other hand, gemstones were also in the commonly destroyed sector whereas metals were typically reusable. But there was a huge, huge list of exceptions and special rules and Ryoko half-felt like she was looking at a chemistry reaction table with the way Areru could go on and on and on.
"...That's weird," Areru's voice said from just inside the greenhouse. The teen stepped out of it, then back into it, then back out of it again. "It's colder inside than it should be."
Then he looked down, to the dark shadow extending from his feet and he pursed his lips.
"...And I don't think the light is as intense inside? My shadow is definitely dimmer in there." The teen cupped his chin, one foot tapping at the same time the dragon next to Ryoko was tapping one claw at the dirt. Sometimes, Ryoko wondered if Areru even knew how many little tells, ticks and habits he had. After a few seconds, both parts of him stopped and the human half got to talking again. "I'm going to head into town and pick up a few things. Ryoko, do you want anything?"
Ryoko silently laughed and shook her head before signing 'No' at him.
He kept on asking. And she kept on telling him the same thing. She couldn't enjoy doing much besides watching television or working with her hands. And, even if she was able to use her body, it wasn't like she had the ability to taste anything anyway.
Food had tasted like nothing for her. Alcohol had worked, for a little while, but it didn't last. Drugs were completely useless. And sex? She'd been a monster, universally feared (Quite literally). She'd never found a man that was brave enough to bed her.
Still, Ryoko thought as Areru's other half vanished, it was nice that he cared to ask.
The woman looked down to her hands, to the jewels that she knew weren't truly embedded in her wrists. One hand came up, pressing against the image of another jewel upon her throat that she knew was missing on her proper body.
It wouldn't be too much longer before she finally, finally finished condensing the weak, almost-nonexistent strength that she'd managed to hoard for the last seven centuries into a false jewel. It wasn't equal to the real ones, and she didn't know if it would be enough to break through the seal that Yosho and his damned Funaho had placed on her.
Especially since Funaho had been drinking and drinking as much as it could from her gems.
Looking to the distance, through the mountains and to the slumbering form of Ryo-Ohki, of the one companion she'd been able to rely on. Of the entity that had been born alongside her, and been broken alongside her. Ryoko reached up with one hand and gently touched the earring that dangled from her left ear, a cloudy red jewel dangling from it.
The astral projection looked to the side as Areru shifted but the dragon was only readjusting his position.
With one false gem, she couldn't even reawaken Ryo-Ohki. Not at her full or proper strength, but...
With a percentage of her strength restored, Ryoko could maybe awaken the crystalline ship. Together, the two of them could...
Ryoko didn't know. She had hopes, shattered as they might be. She had dreams, somewhere beneath the living nightmare of her undying existence.
Areru had asked her, when she'd suggested he do as she once did, 'And then what?'
And Ryoko didn't have an answer.
And, even months and years later, she still didn't.
So, if Ryoko did manage to break away. Suppose she did manage to run far enough to be free.
'And then what?'
Ryoko turned her head to look at the dragon resting at her side. She'd thought of telling him about her seal. She'd thought of telling him where her body was locked away, deaf and mute and so, so cold...
'And then what?'
But if Ryoko was still around, she was willing to bet that Yosho was, too. Hidden somewhere, waiting, ready to uproot the Funaho and chase her if she ran. And Areru, despite what he claimed, seemed to be happy to tinker and create, to survive, quiet and unknown. He didn't seem like a warrior, didn't act like someone who would rip and tear his way through a battlefield.
If he unsealed her, even as crippled and reduced as she was?
She'd be dragging him into her fight. And this life, simple and strange as it was, would go up in flames. She didn't want that. Not for him.
'And then what?'
Ryoko didn't know.
And that scared her, more intensely than anything she'd ever felt before.

Oh no. Somebody got some logic in your magic. People talk about sunlight in terms of 'Watts per square meter". If the floorspace inside your greenhouse is 9 m^2 but outside of your greenhouse it is only 6 m^2 then you're only getting 2/3rd's the energy from sunlight inside it.
Congratulations on the world's first greenhouse that is objectively worse than nothing.
