Best Episodes of Urusei Yatsura

Are aliens invading again? Nope — it’s just Ataru, Meno and Lum’s mothers invading Parents’ Day! But a language barrier may turn this meeting of the moms into pure mania.

The finalists have different motives. Lum wants Ataru’s attention, Ran wants to get in Lum’s way, Shinobu and Sakura want the money, and Ryunosuke has something to prove.

Hellooooo, nurse! A new nurse just started working at Ataru's school, and she's a total babe… but wait. Does she look familiar?

Surely Ataru wouldn’t misuse bubble gum that has the power to create whatever he wants. But would that be worse than Lum losing the ability to speak other languages?

Ryunosuke grew up without a mother and wants to know more about her. Unfortunately, her father is keeping an important detail from her.

A monster lurks in the depths of the hotel pool, but it's not half as creepy as the ne'er-do-wells lurking around Nurse Sakura at the beach…

Is Ataru seeing double, or are there really two hot new transfer students at school? And what does the super cute newbie Ran want from him and Lum!?

An ominous omen. A pessimistic portent. A scary sign. Call it whatever you want, but one thing is clear: Fate will not be kind to Ataru today!

All’s fair in love and… baseball? It’s time for a showdown on the baseball diamond! And once the dust settles, a “love letter” stirs up trouble.

Lum and Ran are friends, but one can best describe their relationship as prickly.

Lum and her friends worry the past will come back to haunt them. Later, Mendo’s life becomes much more complicated thanks to a voodoo doll.

Ataru and his friends were supposed to have a fun beach trip, but they find themselves swept up in Ryunosuke’s family drama instead!

Lum is quite the handful, no matter what size she is. Later, a shapeshifting fox takes a liking to Shinobu.

There is nothing suspicious about the lipstick Lum wants to put on Ataru. Nope, nothing suspicious at all. Later, Ataru’s class takes the dreaded Yaminabe food challenge!

Pro tip: never hurt an octopus’ feelings and never give an oni pickled plums.

What’s this? A handkerchief? It smells divine, so it MUST belong to a total hottie. Definitely not a nightmare creature or anything like that. Ataru’s nose cannot be fooled!

Ryunosuke teams up with three delinquents to help Shinobu ward off an unwanted suitor. Later, Ataru’s family must be careful what they wish for.

Three punks challenge Lum and her friends to a duel after stealing Benten’s precious chain.
