Never thought Id see the day when alien rivalries in Urusei Yatsura would shake up the usual love triangle formula like this. Watching Lum’s crew actually team up with Ataru’s earth friends instead of zapping them was wild, especially since it flips the whole “invader vs. human” trope on its head. Then there’s Mendou trying to outdo the aliens with his own gadgets, only to accidentally short circuit the school’s power—classic Mendou chaos that lightens things up. If this keeps up, maybe we’ll see more classic anime start to blur the lines between friend and foe. What if these alliances are hinting at a bigger threat or some hidden connection between the worlds? Feels like waiting for a UFO to land in your backyard—no idea what’s next, but I’m hyped. Anyone else have wild theories or favorite moments from this arc?
