What Happened In Episode 7?
Urusei Yatsura Season 2 episode seven was split into two segments. In the first segment, Ataru purchases some earmuffs from a salesman and visits a park to try them out with Ten. Ten and Ataru swap bodies. Ataru uses this opportunity to flirt and harass many women while Ten tries to stop him.
Lum prevents Ten (cosplaying Ataru) from stopping Ataru (cosplaying Ten) because she isn’t aware that they swapped bodies. Later, Ataru (cosplaying Ten) stumbles upon Sakura and uses Ten’s body to get touchy with her. Ten (cosplaying Ataru) and Lum notice Ataru (cosplaying Ten) and Sakura nearby. Once again, Ten (cosplaying Ataru) tries to stop Ataru (cosplaying Ten) from ruining his image.
However, Sakura and Lum aren’t willing to hear Ten (cosplaying Ataru) out. Suddenly, Cherry arrives with the same earmuffs and puts them on. This results in him, Ataru, and Ten swapping bodies. Ataru ends up in his own body and gets electrocuted by Lum. The segment closes with Cherry (cosplaying Ten) yelling at Sakura and Lum electrocuting Ataru more.
The next segment involves Ataru waking up late for school. While heading to school, Lum notices Ataru and tells him that she knows a way they can get to school sooner. Lum and Ataru use Lum’s portal device to arrive at the school. Lum stays behind to close the portal and Ataru rushes inside.
Unfortunately, Ataru learns he and Lum traveled 10 years into the future. Ataru leaves school to find Lum but takes a break to eat. This results in him meeting his future son, Kokeru. Lum arrives and agrees to help Ataru get some food for Kokeru. Meanwhile, Kokeru’s mother asks some adults for tips on where she can find her son.
Then, we cut to Ataru, Kokeru, and Lum at an ice cream parlor. Lum and Ataru bicker briefly and eventually learn that Kokeru is Ataru’s son. Lum’s upset because she realizes Kokeru doesn’t have horns. This means he isn’t her son. Ataru grabs Kokeru and heads to school, hoping to uncover the truth about his wife.
Ataru drops Kokeru off at school and monitors him. He learns who his future wife will be and is upset by the news. While he and Lum travel to their timeline, we learn that the person Ataru thought his wife would be, wasn’t his wife. Instead, we learn Shinobu will be Ataru’s wife.
In the present timeline, Ataru’s mother scolds him for peeing his pants. During this altercation, Lum and Ataru ponder their future lives. We shift to a mystical world with floating doors. The episode closes with an anthropomorphic rabbit running through this area because he’s late for an event.
