|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 136 | "Kurama Again!!" (Kurama futatabi!!, "クラマ再び！！") | ||||
| Ataru and Lum are playing tennis against Mendo and Shinobu when they are interrupted by the arrival of Kurama's karasutengu, carying their mistress in her cryo-sleep capsule. They explain that Kurama has deemed Ataru utterly unsuitable as a mate, and the elder has agreed to let her "do over" her marriage kiss. Ataru immediately tries to kiss her awake again, but is dragged away by the furious Lum. The karasutengu try to get Mendo to kiss Kurama, for he looks like her type, but Mendo hesitates, reluctant to kiss a girl in front of an audience. As Ataru struggles to escape Lum's grasp, Mendo finally musters the courage to do it, but is dragged away by a jealous Shinobu, giving Ataru the chance to kiss Kurama awake once more. However, when she wakes, Mendo is the first man she sees, Ataru having been yanked away and punished by Lum, so she believes Mendo is the one who woke her. | |||||
| 137 | "Seal it With a Kiss" (Kuchi zuketo toma ni chigiran, "口づけと共に契らん！！") | ||||
| Aboard Kurama's ship, her karasutengu discuss whether or not they should inform her that it was Ataru Moroboshi and not Shutaro Mendo who kissed her awake. The elder is adamant on informing her of the truth, but she's already left to see her "new husband". At Tomobiki High, Class 2-4 is having a discussion on dating etiquette, which leads to a debate about who is worse; Ataru or Mendo. The girls of 2-4 immediately rally to defend Mendo's character, unaware of his privately lamenting his hesitation to kiss Kurama previously. Lum, meanwhile, is preparing a gun to shoot Kurama on sight. Suddenly, the tengu princess arrives, warmly greeting Mendo (and coldly denouncing Ataru), to the outrage of Class 2-4's female students. The karasutengu arrive swiftly, and quickly coax Mendo into agreeing to impregnate Kurama. Ataru protests that he was the one who kissed her, but Kurama refuses to believe him, and the karasutengu quickly construct a "love nest" for the consummation to take place. Upon seeing it, Mendo protests, but Kurama drags him inside, only to find Ataru already waiting for her. Once again, Ataru protests that he was the one who awoke Kurama, and this time the karasutengu elder confirms it. Desperately, Kurama pleads with Mendo to say he was her responsible, but he admits that Ataru is telling the truth. Enraged, Kurama throws both boys and the elder out of her nest, sealing herself inside. | |||||
| 138 | "Goodbye Rules!!" (掟、おさらば！！, "Okite, osamaga") | ||||
| Three days later, Kurama is still sulking over Ataru having won spousal right to her twice. The elder tries to push her to accept fate and mate with Ataru as their law demands, but Kurama demands to know why she should follow the law. It turns out the elder has no idea what will happen if she breaks the law, and he turns to a database of his predecessors' memories, going deeper and deeper as he tries to find which of them knows the secret. Annoyed, Kurama leaves to go and see Mendo, arriving at Tomobiki High. She instantly finds herself the object of desire for both Ataru and Mendo, with different forces trying to keep them away from her. She acknowledges the obvious similarities, but points out that at least Mendo has better looks than Ataru. Suddenly, the elder arrives, with the recording of the very first elder, from 120 generations: he reveals that there is no dire malediction or hidden curse to the law of marriage by first kiss, but rather it was created from pure sentiment, as he met his own wife after waking a female karasutengu with a kiss. Enraged, Kurama declares she will not follow this law, with even the current elder admitting it is stupid. She is about to pick Mendo as her mate, when Ataru intervenes and reveals Mendo's crippling phobias. Disgusted, Kurama declares he is no more suitable than Ataru, and goes off to find herself a truly worthy specimen of a man. | |||||
| 139 | "Message In a Bottle" (ビン詰めの誘惑！！, "Binzume no yuuwaku") | ||||
| Ataru, Lum, Shinobu, Mendo and Ten are enjoying a holiday on the beach. As the sun goes down, Ten finds a love letter in a bottle, before the group returns to their hotel. Over dinner, they muse about where they'll go tomorrow, and discuss going to a nearby cove called Cockle Inlet. The hotel's staff interject, protesting that the area is haunted by a man-eating monster, but then fall to arguing over whether the monster appears as a beautiful young woman, a hideous old crone, or a brutish male giant. Soon afterwards, both Ataru and Mendo discover their own love letters, and a phone number that arranges for them to meet the senders tomorrow at Cockle Inlet. Ataru tries to sneak off without the others at dawn, but is foiled by plans set by the boys and girls alike. Still, the motley crew races to Cockle Inlet, where they meet a beautiful young woman, who invites them to stay at a waterfront inn tucked away in the inlet. The creepy atmosphere does get to most of them, but Ataru refuses to leave, mind set on the idea of getting a date with the young woman. None of them notice the deformed giant lurking in the ceiling, hungrily eying them all and sharpening a huge axe... | |||||
| 140 | "If You Can Stomach the Suspense" (食べれば恐怖！！, "Tabereba sasupensu!!") | ||||
| The sun sets over the haunted inn at Cockle Inlet. Inside, the innkeepers - three monsters in the form of a beautiful young woman, a hulking giant, and an ugly crone - plot to kill and eat their guests; Ataru, Lum, Shinobu, Mendo and Ten. Only the maiden objects... because she is being left with Ataru for her meal, and she considers him the most unappealing victim. Still, at dinner she slips him a message in his soup, planning to lure him away to eat him. Ataru, a sucker for a pretty face, isn't the least bit suspicious, and slips away at the first opportunity. Mendo, Lum and Ten go after him, leaving Shinobu behind to take a bath - where she is attacked by the giant! Mendo gets separated from the oni, and stumbles across the crone, who gets him to carry her back to the inn; she tries to bite his neck, but she's too feeble, so she resolves to cook him first. Lum finds Ataru flirting, blasting him with lightning and dragging him back to the inn, unwittingly saving him from being devoured. Back at the inn, they discover the enraged Shinobu, but are then attacked by the giant and the crone. The maiden arrives to find her "partners" defeated, and flees into the sea aboard a large cockle shell... as do the other two monsters moments later. | |||||
| 141 | "The Campus Baseball War" (校内賭博球技大会, "Kounai tobaku kyougitaikai") | ||||
| Tobimaro Mizunokoji arrives at Tomobiki High as the students are holding an intramural baseball game. He tries to make a dramatic entry, but his bumbling means that all he achieves is to get stuck in a tree. Suddenly, Ryoko arrives, and after a brief moment's tormenting Tobimaro, she gets him down and goes to plead with Ataru to let Tobimaro join his team for the game. She claims that Tobimaro is her first love, describing the great fun she had tormenting him when they were children. As Ataru's team has secretly taken a bribe to throw the game, they happily let him join, only for Ryoko's kuroko to intervene to try and help Tobimaro win it - especially after Ryoko and her brother stake Ryoko and Tobimaro's "relationship" on the game. It all ends with a tie, courtesy of one of Ryoko's pit traps. | |||||
| 142 | "The Strict Camping Trip!!" (辛いキャンプに明日はない！！, "Karai kyanpu ni asunahai!!") | ||||
| Lum busies herself cooking dinner, having invited herself on a camping trip with Ataru, Mendo, and Ataru's two friends Kosuke Shirai and Hokuto. When the meal is ready, Ataru wants no part in it, which the other boys soon learn the hard way is because Lum's native cuisine is too spicy for them to handle. Unwilling to insult Lum, but unable to bear her food, the four boys retreat to their tent and try to raid their "emergency supplies" of snacks, only to discover that a rabbit has stolen them. Desperately starving, they decide to risk descending the mountain to a nearby village to steal some food. Along the way, they catch a talking rabbit, which reveals itself as the one who stole their food. It barters with them for its life, promising to lead them to food in the village, but the village turns out to be booby-trapped and on high alert after years of raids by the pest. With its final chance to save its skin, it leads them into its tunnels towards what it promises will be easy food... which turns out to be their own campsite, where a happy Lum has made breakfast. | |||||
| 143 | "Adventures in Shangri-la!!" (桃源郷奇談！！, "Toukenkyou kidan!!") | ||||
| Ataru is on a camping trip with his friends Kosuke Shirai and Hokuto, as well as Mendo, Lum and Ten. The four boys are trying to catch fish, dreading the thought of another super-spicy Lum-cooked meal and trying to keep Ten from tattling on them. Suddenly, they fish up an enormous peach, out of which pops Cherry. He claims to have found his way to "peach paradise", a beautiful valley full of fruit, flowers and gorgeous nymphs. As one, the boys set out for the valley, with Lum naturally skeptical of Ataru's motives for going. Sure enough, when presented with a forking road with one sign saying "food" and the other "nymphs", Ataru distracts his companions and heads up the "nymphs" road... which rejoins the "food" road a short distance later. They find themselves in a valley, where Cherry is gobbled up by a carnivorous peach that then falls into the water. Moments later, the teens find a beautiful young woman being carried away by a bunch of hairy men. They explain that they are being terrorized by an "evil peach", who is demanding the girl as a sacrifice. The boys' first thought is to run away with the girl, but they are instead charged to race up an obstacle course; the first to take up the sacred sword before the evil peach and strike it dead will be the victor. Naturally, the boys can't resist, and Lum joins in. Ataru ultimately succeeds, but it turns out the story was all a ruse, and this was just a game the hermits play for their own amusement. | |||||
| 144 | "A Little Bit of Sakura" ( 三人サクラ浮気の構図, "San nin Sakura uwaki no kozu") | ||||
| Ataru and Lum have once again taken a beach vacation, bringing along Ten, Mendo and Shinobu. This time, they have also run into Sakura, who is less than thrilled to see them. As Ten plays in the sand, Ataru can't resist "playfully" destroying Ten's sand castle, causing Ten to rebuild it with a strange bit of alien technology that makes it virtually indestructible. Shortly afterwards, once Sakura falls asleep, Ataru sends Lum and Shinobu off to get some drinks, and reveals he has a plan to use Ten's sand-manipulating toy to create an animate "sand doll" of the beautiful miko. This idea intrigues Ten, who reveals the cores can even be used to animate sand sculptures; Ataru asssembles three sand statues of Sakura, which Ten brings to life. Ataru, Ten and Mendo all go their separate ways, each with a sand Sakura. This, of course, leads to problems when Lum and Shinobu return, having run into Sakura's fiancé Tsubame along the way. He initially becomes quite distraught after seeing the three boys seemingly cosying up to Sakura, before the truth inevitably comes out. | |||||
| 145 | "I Want a Date By the Fickle Sea" (デートとイルカと海辺の浮気, "Deeto to iruka to umebe no uwaki") | ||||
| taru, Lum and Mendo are on the beach, and Ataru is having fun playing volleyball with a bunch of cute girls who aren't rejecting him for once. Lum grows very angry at Ataru ignoring her, and ultimately storms off. She soon crosses paths with a lonely dolphin who wants to find a human girlfriend, and with the aid of a transformative earring, she sets out on a plan to make Ataru jealous. She leads the dolphin in his handsome new body past Ataru, who is horrified to see Lum acting so friendly with a strange guy. Pausing only to distract Mendo by giving him a crowd of girls to show off for, Ataru tracks Lum and her new "boyfriend" across the beach. Consumed by jealousy, especially when he sees the strange boy being mobbed by interested cute girls when Lum briefly leaves him alone, Ataru tries repeatedly to get the transformed dolphin in trouble, causing him to get repeatedly slapped. This, combined with Mendo scolding him that the proper "manly" thing to do is for guys to treat girls, causes the dolphin to come to realization that he was wrong to want to become a human guy. He thanks Lum and hugs her, which is the last straw for Ataru: he comes charging out of hiding, screaming at the stranger to leave his girl alone... but then forgets all about Lum when the dolphin turns into a pretty human girl, glomping her instead and getting hit by Lum for it. | |||||
| 146 | "Cleaning Up the Ocean!" (みんなで海をきれいにしよう！, "Minna de ume o kirei nishora!") | ||||
| On the beach, Ataru, Mendo and Ten hide in the trash-choked breakers, trying to spy on a girl's swimming class. Lum and Shinobu find them, and attempt to foil their plans by covering them in what they claim is sunscreen, but is actually a surface tension nullifying lotion, making it impossible for them to swim. The boys find an unlikely ally in a pair of passing flotation device lenders, and resume attempting to get close to the swimming girls, only for a jealous Lum to repeatedly interfere. Finally, they find they were tricked and the floaties they were given were actually used as trash-collecting devices, before they are taken back by the vendors - a dappya-monster and a mermaid! | |||||
