Urusei Yatsura (うる星やつら)

URUSEI YATSURA

He becomes Scorpio, as the city falls fast asleep tonight.

She becomes Virgo. Dance! "Dancing, Dancing Night!"

When the two cleverly get out of an uneasy situation, there...

at the mysterious edge of the universe, dance! "Dancing, dancing star!"

Hold me, so tightly, and say "I won't let you go!" or something...

'Cause for tonight, I just wanna get tipsy, kissing.

See? You're reflected in my eyes, do you see...?

See? I'm reflected in your eyes so beautifully.

He'll become stardust, as the night burns out shortly...

She'll become a shooting star. Dance! "Dancing, Dancing Star."

Dance! "Dancing, Dancing Star."

Dance! "Dancing, Dancing Star."

The House Of Mendou - Summer Xmas

The Young Master's combat-shooting skills are much improved!

Proceed with the final round! Yessir!

Hit!

All Targets - Damaged!

All Targets - Damaged!

Training Complete! Training Complete!

Young Master, 'twas splendid, sir... Remarkable shooting!

No... I had a little problem with Moroboshi.

Starting tomorrow, we'll halve the reaction time!

Yes, sir!

But I must say... the fact that you've not erred once... is remarkable!

Obviously! No matter what, "point not thy sword at women."

In that, I take great pride!

That's the Kuroko Group's Cargo- copter squadron, sir.

Seems they're heading over to Ryoko's Memorial Hall in C Block.

I wonder what they're up to...?

Well... since the Kuroko Group reports directly to Ms. Ryoko...

we have no idea what they do. Shall we dispatch a spy, sir?

Forget it... You'll go crazy if you deal with them.

Yes, sir!

Er... Please excuse us! Excuse us! Excuse us! Excuse us!

Paging the Honorable Moroboshi Ataru!

Why, if it ain't the Kuroko guys! Long time no see!

We're here with a message from Ms. Ryoko.

What? From Ryoko?! An invitation!

"I know this is short notice..."

"but tonight at 8, at the Ryoko Memorial Auditorium in the Mendou compound..."

"we will be having a Summer X'mas Party."

"Your attendance is very much appreciated."

- "Mendou Ryoko."

Darling, we're going!

Whatcha talking about?! You weren't even invited!

I'm going!

if you'd care to read the rest of the message...

"PS: For the event we're planning, we request that you arrive as a couple."

"Individual participation is strictly forbidden."

Yahoo!

We're going together! We're going together!

I wanna go too... There are no more invitations to hand out. I am sorry.

Well then, if you'll excuse us...

Er... just one thing... What exactly is this "Summer X'mas?"

'Tis a X'mas in the summertime.

As you know, in high-school baseball tournaments...

there are spring tournaments and summer tournaments.

And, there is summer skiing and summer sweaters...

so why can't there be a "Summer X'mas?"

Or, do you see problems in our logic?

No. I am convinced, sir. Summer X'mas?!

Oh! I love parties! I'll go!

Please come as a couple. X'mas, you say?

Can I consider it to be a banquet?

Yes, ma'am! I shall be present!

Please come as a couple. X'mas? You mean...

the holiday when you eat cakes, decorate trees...

and the girls wear flimsy things and go wild... You mean that?

Yes, that.

But, as a couple, you say?

I see. A Summer X'mas, eh?

I have a question for you... Will Lum...

She'll be at the party, together with Mr. Moroboshi Ataru.

I shall be there, no matter what! Please tell Ms. Ryoko that.

Remember, come as a couple. That doesn't mean two men!

It must be a man-woman pair!

Well then, if you'll excuse me...

What he said... You all know what to do now!

Me, hon! Me! Your build is too masculine!

I'm the one! But you've got boney fingers!

As a couple, huh...

Asking Mendou out to the party at his place would be out ofthe question...

And I bet Ataru will be with Lum...

Oh, gosh! What am I thinking?!

I'll be going to Mendou's place, so it can't be just anyone.

And it can't possibly be a love interest.

I've gotta play it cool, so it's clear my date is there just for the event.

So that means I'd better avoid men my age.

Having said that, people will smell a rat if I show up with someone older.

And, boys younger than I?

That'd look like I'm taking my little brother along or something!

I dunno, that's so lacking in style...

Basically, I've got to take someone who has no hope of ever dating me!

Handsome middle-aged men and pretty boys are out!

As long as it's not some ugly bozo...

if we can make people think, "Why is such a girl with such a man...?"

or if we're a pair that'd inject a certain sense of humor to the affair...

or if such a pairing seems naturally logical somehow, then I'm all set!

But, where can I find a man like that...?

Yes! I've done it!

All that pent-up rage that's built up over the years! I have my revenge at last!

You can kiss my ass! I won't let you rip me off day after day!

I creamed you today, and I'll be back tomorrow to do it again!

Oh, life is good!

Why, Miyake, it's you...

What's up? Shopping? Out on a date?

What the...?!

"Oniisama:" Honorable Big Brother.

Oniisama!

You! What was that for? Don't you respect your own brother?!

My! Am I sorry!

Please, grab on.

Why, you're so heavy... And why do you look so grumpy?

I did not make you fall on purpose, you must understand...

Ryoko... Can't you differentiate between an octopus and your own brother?

I was only kidding, of course.

So... What is it that you want?

Well, Oniisama... the thing is that...

Just who are you speaking to?!

A X'mas Party?!

Yes. And so, I wanted your opinion on the decorations we got.

X'mas is in December... and this is summer now, obviously.

Then, why...

I am not selective as to time or place, when it comes to fun things.

Is that the tree you were talking about?

Yes.

Yes. It doesn't look like much...

Look closely, and you'll see...

WHAT THE...?!

We'll soon be at the hall, sir.

Thank you. It appears we're on time.

What's the matter?

Megane! Say, Megane! Will it be all right?!

Won't they figure it out?! Am I pretty?

Yes, you are, Chibi.

Don't panic! They're Kuroko. Think of them as a part of the background.

2 persons, making entrance!

Rei! Yikes!

'Tis mine, I'm telling you!

No problem; we're set!

The only half-decent couple here is Lum and Ataru.

I wouldn't say that those two are what you'd call half-decent, hon.

Er... thank you very much for waiting.

On behalf of Lady Ryoko of the House of Mendou, thank you for coming...

despite your busy schedules. My, it's good to see you having a swell time...

Just get on with it!

Where's the food?!

Er, well then, we shall be off to the X'mas Party room.

Watch your step, please!

What in the world is that?! A X'mas tree... I guess...

Here you go. OK, please put these on.

Wh...What's with this?! What the?

For entertainment purposes, you see. Entertainment.

Wh...What's this all about?!

Entertainment? Do they want us to duel each other with these?

What?! You're making them climb up the tree to get to the party floor?!

This happens to be the top floor!
