I've a problem with Lum in the last arc

Urusei Yatsura 5 : The Final Chapter (1988)

Urusei Yatsura second anime (2022-2024) - Episode 46 (2024)

I've a problem with Lum's attitude at this point in the final story arc. Sure, her « darling's » repression of his feelings for her is annoying, especially after all the trouble caused by Rupa and Karula. However, she didn't have to put Earth and everyone around her in danger. Sure, she asked Rupa to spare everything, whether Ataru wins or loses, but still, they're not supposed to know. In their minds, everything is ruined if Ataru fail or if he doesn't confess his feelings.

And honestly, would you be willing to confess your feelings to a girl in such a situation ? Personally, at best, I'd use every trick in the book to get my way. At worst, I'd just want to unscrew her head and shit down her neck 💀. You can't force someone to confess their feelings with a gun to their head 😠 ! Even though Lum is a kind, cute, hot and energetic girl, she's also touchy, selfish, and impertinent. She's barged into her « darling's » life and wants to marry him without even asking his opinion, all because of a simple misunderstanding. It's no wonder he initially didn't appreciate her presence, despite her legendary perversity and bad luck. And every time she messes up, he's the one forced to face the consequences. The worst part is that Tomobiki's gang can't think of anything better to do than blame Ataru for not giving in to Lum's whims, even though the blame lies entirely with him at that moment. Not to mention that they don't even bother to explain that he was simply tricked by a copy created by Rupa and his great-grandfather, which would have resolved the situation immediately. And at least Benten and Oyuki tried to calm things down several times. I can't say the same for the others. Admittedly, they did try to disable the memory erasure device themselves, but still.

I should note, however, that in the movie The Final Chapter, Magic Bus studio added a scene where Ataru's friends encourage him to get up and grab Lum's horns. It would have been nice if Takahashi and David Productions had done the same.

At the beginning of the arc, Ataru is in the wrong. As with the encounter with Shingo, he blames Lum even though her innocence is obvious. But during the Oni game, the situation reverses, and Lum, with Rupa's complicity, is responsible. Even though the original culprit is Rupa's great-grandfather, he obviously got away with it.

Sorry for the outburst, but Lum's attitude really annoyed me 😤. I just wanted Ataru to win, period.

Urusei Yatsura movies pamphlet books

I found listings on eBay for these booklets which, if I understand correctly, were distributed when the movies were released. They contain illustrations, detailed summaries of the story chapters, exclusive interviews with the cast and crew, including Fumi Hirano (Lum) and Toshio Furukawa (Ataru), and even song lyrics (including « Melancholy no Kiseki » by Saeko Shimazu for Lum the Forever).

I should point out that the photos aren't mine, as usual.

Urusei Yatsura with Tex Avery's humour

Just imagine episodes of Urusei Yatsura that retain the distinctive characteristics of animated adaptations (character design, references to Japanese culture and folklore, the jerky mouth movements typical of Japanese animation, etc.), but sprinkled with music synchronized to the characters' movements by Scott Bradley, and with the wacky humor of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoons (Tom and Jerry, Droopy, etc.). That would be funny, don't you think 😃😆 ?

I even have in mind a crossover with Droopy, whose appearances and successes defy all logic and his famous « You know what ? I'm happy/I'm the hero/that makes me mad ».

Sudden mood change among the cast at the end of The Final Chapter (1988)

It's weird how the cast was chasing Ataru and Lum with anger, but all smiling right when the camera snaps.

Lum doesn't want to be separated from her Darling by @tiridamenohaki

Here's the author's description: : « わーっ!やだやだダーリンはうちのものだっちゃ〜 !! »

Here is a translation of the description given on Facebook : « No ! He's my Darling, you can't take me away from him ! Never !!! »

A user on Facebook posted a response, which I find a bit disingenuous, but I'm sharing it anyway for fun : « Even though he technically never asked to be your darling ? He had an on-off girlfriend he was trying to work things out with, but you went and basically messed everything up for them ! This is what happens when you spoil your kids or either don’t discipline or discipline them too much. You get either a bratty, clingy she-ogre like Lum or a bipolar, sociopathic subcubus like Ran. »
