|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 59 | "A Narrow Escape From Memory Lane" (思い出危機一髪..., "Omoide Kikiippatsu...") | ||||
| Ran invites Lum to a cafe for lunch. Lum hopes that her old friend wants to make peace at long last, but instead Ran reminds her of the many times that Lum got her into trouble when they were both little girls, vowing to punish Lum for this long catalogue of woes. In the end, Lum tearfully leaves... and also leaves Ran to pick up the check for both of them, giving her yet another grievance to stew over. | |||||
| 60 | "A Very Narrow Escape" (正真正銘危機一髪..., "Shōshinshōmei Kikiippatsu...") | ||||
| One day at Tomobiki High, Ran manages to ambush Lum and leave her tied up in a gym storage room. She immediately goes in search of Ataru, and ultimately finds him in the nurse's office, sick with a sore throat. She tries repeatedly to get her deadly kiss with Ataru, but finds herself being accidentally thwarted by Sakura, who is set on protecting Ran's virtue. Ataru, meanwhile, vacillates between trying to kiss Ran, fondling Sakura, and trying to get his hands on some medicine for his sore throat. In the end, Ran does manage to kiss Ataru... but to her shock, it seems to have no effect. Luckily for Ataru, he had unwittingly drunk Cherry's experimental youth potion beforehand. | |||||
| 61 | "Ataru Calls It Quit!" (あたるの引退, "Ataru no Intai") | ||||
| As the last homeroom of the second semester ends, Hanawa gives a final farewell to the students. Before they leave class for the year, Ataru suddenly surprises everybody with an announcement that he is going to retire. Confusion immediately springs up because nobody knows what he's retiring from. Hanawa initially believes Ataru plans to drop out of school. Then Mendo believes he's breaking up with Lum, something that Lum doesn't take at all well. Then they get meta, suggesting that Ataru is retiring from the position of the series' protagonist, which sparks excitement as many characters want to take his place. Finally, an annoyed Ataru clarifies that he is retiring from his position as class president, at which everyone loses their enthusiasm and just leaves. | |||||
| 62 | "Fortune Cookie" (おみくじこわい, "Omikuji Kowai") | ||||
| As Tomobiki holds its New Year's Eve festival, Ataru and Lum go on a rare date together. However, both of them draw predictions of misfortune. At Cherry's urging, they go to Fortune Street to see Sakura's stall, where Ran is temporarily helping out. However, they once more draw predictions of misfortune. Even Ran draws a fortune that seems to alternatively promise her victory and disaster. They try one last prediction, and it also goes wrong. Disgruntled, they finally leave Fortune Street... and find themselves exiting out of a gate labeled both "Misfortune" and "Fortune", with Ataru falling down the stairs on the Misfortune side. | |||||
| 63 | "Arrival of Ten-chan" (テンちゃんがきた, "Ten-chan ga Kita") | ||||
| On New Year's Day, Lum is having the time of her life dressing up in Spring kimonos for the Moroboshis, who are delighted to have the chance to do this. Their open happiness makes Ataru feel jealous and unloved. He soon finds other things to worry about when he finds a strange baby in their mailbox - a baby who turns out to be Lum's infant cousin, Ten. Joined by Ten, Ataru and Lum go to Sakura's shrine to play some traditional New Year's games, where they meet up with Sakura, Cherry, Shinobu and Ran. Ten nearly gives away Ran's status as an alien, but Ran manages to cover it up. The group starts to play Hyakkunin Isshu, but Ten burns Ataru's hand for constantly grabbing at the girls when they go for the cards. Sugoroku goes no better, with Ten scorching Ataru's face for mocking his slow flying speed. Ataru retreats to the kitchen to cool off and sulk, and Ran tries to get closer to him, only for Ten to attack Ataru yet again. Finally losing his patience, Ataru attacks Ten with a frying pan and spatula, only to be dogpiled and scolded by Lum, Shinobu and Sakura. | |||||
| 64 | "Ten-chan in Love" (テンちゃんの恋, "Ten-chan no Koi") | ||||
| On a snowy day, Ataru's mother orders the reluctant teen out to clear away all the snow that has piled up on their sidewalk. Moments later, Lum announces that she has to go somewhere and tells Ataru to look after Ten whilst she's gone. Despite not liking Ten much, Ataru realizes he has an opportunity, and talks Ten into helping him clear the sidewalk with his fiery breath. When his mother only gives him ten yen for it, he takes Ten and tries to earn more money by doing it for pay. To appease the oni kid, he lets him make a phone call, which gets them a job at Sakura's place. Things initially go well, but then Ten accidentally sucks Sakura's engagement ring into a klein bottle he used to dispose of the water left over, and he doesn't want to give it back due to his crush on her. Ataru talks him into doing it anyway, and then Ten flies off. Lum returns and Ataru is initially full of praise for Ten... but he changes his tune when an angry Ten starts remotely blasting Ataru with fire. | |||||
| 65 | "Babes in Arms" (ふたりだけのデート, "Futari Dake no Dēto") | ||||
| Things are tense in Ataru's room; Ataru isn't happy that Ten is still staying with them. Ten pays him no mind; he's busy writing a love letter to Sakura, and he wants Lum to translate it into Japanese for him. When he hears it, Ataru mocks it, before offering to ghost-write Ten a better one. Ten agrees, and Ataru tries to sabotage Ten in revenge, sending Sakura a very explicit letter and giving Ten "dating instructions" that would be on the crude side even for a physically intimate couple. He doesn't count on Sakura both showing up to seek revenge on the pervert who sent her such a letter and being unable to harm a clearly naive and innocent young alien. In the end, Sakura gently lets Ten down, and Ten responds by burning Ataru - not because he realizes he was sabotaged, but because he thinks Ataru failed. | |||||
| 66 | "From Flower to Flower" (花から花へ, "Hana kara Hana e") | ||||
| Ten asks for Ataru's help in introducing himself to the beautiful young woman proprietor of a flowershop, only for Ataru to immediately fall for the woman herself. She seems oblivious to their interest, but instead gives them a gardenia. Ten wants to make it bloom beautifully to impress her, whilst Ataru would rather make it sickly to both make Ten look bad and give himself an excuse to get closer to the flower seller. Ironically, Ten causes the gardenia to bloom into a giant mutant with same alien fertilizer, causing it to become sapient and capable of speech. It too tries to hit on the flower seller, but she shoots it down, causing it to wander off and try to pick up girls, to the annoyance of both Ataru and Ten. | |||||
| 67 | "Hunting Demons with a Bean Shooter" (鬼に豆鉄砲, "Oni ni Mamedeppō") | ||||
| Ataru arrives home on the day of Setsubun, and upon hearing what day it is, he immediately panics, terrified of being taken back to the Oni/Gods of Luck duel again. However, he overhears Lum, Ten and Benten griping that their planet's version of Setsubun has been cancelled. Feeling pervy and mischievous, Ataru talks them into celebrating Setsubun in the "Japanese Style"... by which he means he and Benten will chase Lum and Ten around whilst pelting them with beans. The two oni quickly counterattack, and the brief but fierce brawl ends with Ataru being thrown painfully into the street. Amused by her "first Earth Setsubun", Benten leaves, promising to come back next year. | |||||
| 68 | "Miss Snow Queen" (ミス雪の女王, "Misu Yuki no Joō") | ||||
| Ataru, Lum and Ten are on a skiing trip up in the mountains when the ski resort they are staying back offers a scavenger hunt race, with the first prize being a kiss from the mysterious but evidently very beautiful "Miss Snow Queen". Naturally, Ataru immediately becomes determined to win the race, even though it means facing off against a much bigger and stronger guy also determined to win that kiss. Through tenacity, ingenuity, and careful alliances with Ten, Ataru wins... but immediately regrets winning when he learns that "Miss Snow Queen" is none other than Lum. | |||||
| 69 | "The St. Valentine's Day Massacre" (バレンタインデーの惨劇, "Barentain Dē no Sangeki") | ||||
| It's Valentine's Day, and whilst Ataru is trying to avoid Lum, Ten finds himself being confronted by a young girl named Mako, who has developed a crush on him. She ambushes him and forces him to accept a chocolate heart, then runs away embarrassed, leaving the confused young oni in her wake. Lum clues him in, then goes chasing after Ataru again, before Mako swats Ten to the ground with a bamboo pole. She asserts that because Ten accepted her chocolate earlier, they now have to get married. Being unaware that this is just silly little kid logic, Ten becomes determined to try and force her to take it back, chasing her all the way to her home. He is awestruck by her beautiful, sweet-natured mother, who plays along with her daughter's childish beliefs, but things get messy when Ataru and Lum inadvertently follow him to Mako's home. | |||||
